Some travelers report discomfort when they arrive in La Paz from lower altitudes. At 3000 to 4000 meters, La Paz is much higher than many travelers have ever been, so some shortness of breath is to be expected. Most travelers acclimatize after a good night's rest.
In some cases, travelers may exhibit symptoms of high altitude sickness. These symptoms include:
- Shortness of breath
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Reduced appetite
- Fatigue
Symptoms will usually fade in a day or two, but travelers can take certain precautions to avoid or alleviate symptoms of altitude sickness. When traveling to La Paz, make sure to:
- Drink plenty of water. Sports drinks like Gatorade are helpful as well because they contain sugars, sodium, and electrolytes, which are lost due when you dehydrate.
- Get plenty of rest.
- Take your time traveling through the city, don't push yourself.
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
Coca tea, or coca de mate, is a popular folk remedy for altitude sickness. In severe cases, especially when preexisting medical conditions are present, medical attention may be necessary. Hotel Rosario and Turisbus guides have bottled oxygen available should guests have a problem with the altitude.
Although La Paz is at a tropical latitude, its high elevation means that the city does not experience the tropical heat that is typical at lower elevations. The temperature in La Paz remains mild all year, with an average temperature around eight degrees Celsius. Expect the temperature to drop significantly over night, especially during the winter months (June-August).
The summertime (December-February) can be more humid in La Paz with frequent rainfall. The drier winter months of May to October are the most popular for travelers, though La Paz remains a popular destination year round.
Bolivia uses the Peso Boliviano, referred to simply as Boliviano abbreviated Bs. The Boliviano is divided into 100centavos with coins of 1, 5, 10, and 50 centavos as well as 1, 2, and 5 Bolivianos. Bills are issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Bolivianos.
Approximate exchange rates:
- 1 U.S. Dollar = 7.01 Bolivian Boliviano
- 1 Euro= 9.11 Bolivian Boliviano
- 1 British Pound = 10.57 Bolivian Boliviano
- 1 Canadian dollar = 6.82 Bolivian Boliviano
- 1 Australian dollar = 7.12 Bolivian Boliviano
- 1 New Zealand dollar = 5.77 Bolivian Boliviano
- 1 Peruvian Nuevo Sol = 2.7 Bolivian Boliviano
- 1 Brazilian Real = 3.54 Bolivian Boliviano
(Note that the exact rate can fluctuate with the market)
La Paz has many ATMs available that accept Visa and Mastercard. Like anywhere, travelers should be mindful of their surroundings when using ATMs and should avoid withdrawing money after dark or in poorly lit areas. There are several ATMs with a block or two of Hotel Rosario that are safe for guests.
Be sure to check ATM fees before withdrawing currency, as some local banks will charge more than others. Authorize bankcards and credit cards for international travel before leaving your home country because some companies will freeze your account if they suspect fraud.
At full-service restaurants, 10% of the total bill is a typical gratuity. Look for a line that indicates servicio on restaurant bars as the gratuity is sometimes included. Taxi drivers do not expect tips.
Getting Around
Taxi: This is the fastest, safest way of getting around La Paz. Make sure you take a so-called "radio taxi", which will have a telephone number and the name of the company on the roof of the car. Unmarked taxis can be untrustworthy and should be avoided. Taxis are unmetered so be sure to negotiate a fare before you enter the cab.
On Foot: Many of La Paz's most popular attractions are within walking distance of Hotel Rosario. The city has many small side streets and winding market alleys that are can be fun to explore on foot. The rule of thumb in La Paz is that if you get lost, just head downhill as you are sure to cross a major avenue where you can get your bearings or catch a cab.
Bus: La Paz is serviced by many private vans and busses as well as shared taxis or collectivos. Travelers should avoid these vehicles as they do not follow fixed schedules or routes.
Shuttle: Hotel Rosario provides a shuttle service and we offer private transportation during our tours.
The international airport of El Alto is about 35 minutes from Hotel Rosario by taxi. A taxi will cost 60 Bs. There are also minibuses in front of the Airport that will take you to the San Francisco Church, 4 blocks from the hotel. Hotel Rosario offers an airport pickup service.
La Paz is a safe city. Regardless, we do recommend that you follow a few simple tips to avoid unnecessary hassle:
- Do not leave baggage unattended in public areas.
- Avoid carrying any personal or valuable items/documents with you on the street.
- Leave valuables in the safe provided in your hotel room.
- Carry photocopies of passports rather than the original documents.
- Be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas.
- Simply keep your items close and pay attention to common tricks like people spilling liquids on you or offering to carry your bags.
- Avoid exchanging money on the street, this may make you a target for fraud or pickpockets.

Hi Zimbra
I must admit to being a little disappointed to find that there are only two bug fixes in the 4.05 release. And things have been really quiet in Bugzilla lately (at least for the ~30 or so bugs / features I'm tracking.
Major issues fixed for the 4.0.5 release:
6582 HTML formatted messages from ZWC now display correctly in Windows Mobile 5 Outlook view.
12765 Fixed the error that occurred when a invite was accepted by both the delegator and the delegatee.
So is this a small 4.05 release in preparation for the upcoming 4.5 release which is feature packed and totally revolutionary?
Now that would make a great Xmas 2006 present
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the Zimbra Crew

their picks
what to buy
Electric fans can be an eco-friendly way to cool your home when it's hot outside. Running a fan of any size on high speed uses less than 20 percent as much electricity as a room air conditioner, according to home-energy expert Michael Bluejay. A fan can make you feel 3 to 8 degrees cooler, allowing you to dial down the air conditioning or shut it off altogether. That can help cut your cooling bill, reduce your household's emissions of greenhouse gases and ease demand on the summertime power grid.
In most cases, fans don't actually lower the temperature in a room; instead, they make you feel cooler through increased airflow. "By blowing air around, the fan makes it easier for the air to evaporate sweat from your skin, which is how you eliminate body heat," explain the editors at HowStuffWorks.com. Thus, for a fan to work at top efficiency, it must be placed where you'll feel its breeze directly.
Portable electric fans come in a variety of styles and configurations. Floor fans are the most powerful and can circulate air in a large space, but they're bulky and can be a safety hazard in homes with small children. Pedestal and tower fans have a smaller footprint and are best for medium-sized rooms; most oscillate to improve circulation. Small desktop or tabletop fans can't move nearly as much air, but they can cool a small space like a cubicle. In general, small fans are the least expensive type. A few models can be quite expensive, however, particularly if they're designed more for aesthetics than performance.
Window fans work differently from other fans. In addition to direct cooling, they can actually change the temperature of a room by drawing cool air in or blowing warm air out. Most models can work either way, and a few can perform both functions at once. One drawback is that rain and bugs can get inside if the fan is left in an uncovered window when not in use.
When choosing a fan, noise can be an important factor. In general, there's a trade-off between airflow and noise level: A large fan that moves a lot of air will produce more noise than a smaller and less powerful fan. However, there are significant differences in volume between various models. It's important to read owner comments about each unit you consider, because fan manufacturers don't usually disclose how many decibels a fan produces.
Fans vary in price from as little as $15 to hundreds of dollars, but cost generally isn't a good indicator of effectiveness. In fact, very few reviews for fans in any price range indicate poor performance. With the exception of price differences between various styles -- tower fans cost more than pedestal fans, for example -- the only advantages of more expensive fans are extra features and aesthetics. Even durability doesn't always correlate to price: Some high-end fans get a lot of complaints about their durability while some very inexpensive models are praised for their sturdiness.
We found no professional comparison tests of fans. ConsumerReports.org and Britain's Which? magazine evaluate fans from the pricey Dyson Air Multiplier line, but don't directly compare them to other models. The only true comparative reviews we found are based on an analysis of user-written reviews, supported by manufacturer specs and, in some cases, a bit of personal testing. They can be found at TheWirecutter.com, a website for gadget geeks, and TopTenReviews.com. In addition, fan owners post comments about specific models at retail sites such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com and HomeDepot.com.

Channel 13 talking about this. I know we don't need another thread on CPR Leaving, but I got to wonder where the smoke comes from on this? Why would channel 13 report this on the news?

Why? He hasn't really done anything at ISU. Channel 13 doinks.

(Here IS what ESPN Insider had as top candidates)
Names to watch
Kevin Sumlin - Houston head coach, led the Cougars into BCS contention with a prolific offense garnering plenty of interest around the nation.Mike Leach - Former Texas Tech head coach, hottest name in the business but he remains very interested in ASU opening.June Jones - SMU head coach, offensive guru who may leap at a BCS coaching opportunity.Darrell Bevell - Seahawks offensive coordinator, Arizona nativeNoel Mazzone - Arizona State offensive coordinator, his unit was quite successful this season despite the team's issues.Larry Fedora - Southern Miss head coach, popular name among numerous coaching searches.Justin Wilcox - Tennessee defensive coordinator, played at Oregon 1995-99.Mark Helfrich - Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Oregon. Former ASU assistant.Ron English - Eastern Michigan head coach, former ASU assistant.
After losing five of its last six games when the Pac-12 South appeared to be there for the taking, the brass at Arizona State had seen enough. As a result Dennis Erickson is once again without a job. Now it's time to turn the heat up on who will become the Sun Devils' next head coach.
An early favorite has emerged. Football Rumor Mill tweeted Houston 's Kevin Sumlin will be the leading candidate. The blog also mentioned Southern Miss head coach Larry Fedora as a possibility.
FootballScoop.com disagreed, "Kevin Sumlin will get a look; but it won't surprise us if June Jones winds up with this job."
Bob Young, a columnist for The Arizona Republic, supplied a "Black Friday" wish list as potential replacements for Erickson.
The list included Leach, Miami's Al Golden, Boise State's Chris Peterson, TCU's Gary Patterson and Sumlin.As an earlier Rumor Central addition provided, Leach is laying in wait and remains very interested in the possibility of Arizona State.
Samantha Steele tweeted it earlier. I saw it there first.
why do people feel a need to make a thread for every stupid, unsubstantiated rumor? Of course they are interested. The sky is also blue. Next time wait to let us know until you consider whether Rhoads is.
And I'll give you a hint... if Rhoads leaves it is.t going to be for a place like ASU or Illinois.

Kindergartners explore Rhinelander on field trip
Submitted: 05/29/2016
- You can only learn so much reading from a book or sitting behind a desk.
So Friday, Crescent Elementary School kindergartners got out of their classrooms and into Rhinelander. The students learned about their community they see every day, but might not fully understand.
"The goal today was to get the kindergartners out throughout Rhinelander to see the businesses and what type career opportunities," said kindergarten teacher Julie Gerth.
With the help of Partners in Education and a Hodag School Foundation grant, the students visited Grace Lodge assisted living, Covantage Credit Union, Trig's and the courthouse.
The kids also got to see a firetruck, police car, and a public works vehicle at Pioneer Park. The field trip was designed to show off what the community can offer them now, and in their futures.

First part of Conover-Phelps trail opens
Submitted: 05/29/2016
Play Video
- The rain fortunately stayed away in Conover for a part of Sunday afternoon just in time for the grand opening of the Conover-Phelps bike trail.
The project has been years in the making, and now it's ready to ride. A couple hundred people and local leaders came out in support of it.
"There's a real feel for people being enthusiastic about this," said Jeff Currie, the President of Great Headwaters Trails, which helped lead the bike trail project.
It's supposed to connect Conover to Phelps through nearly 11 miles of paved trail. The first part is open and goes from Conover Community Park to Muskrat Creek Road.
"3.2 miles on the ground and ready to be ridden on biked or hiked," said Brian Blank, the chairman of the Conover-Phelps Trail Capital Campaign.
"When people hear about a town and then when people say, have you seen their bike trail, it's just, right away it's like there's more to that town than I thought there was," Currie said.
While not yet complete, project leaders are hopeful the trail will be finished soon. Project leaders say the second part of the trail, about five miles long, is fully engineered but about 60 percent funded.
"We're about $200,000 away from completing the remaining five miles," Blank said.
"You know that funding could come, and when it does, five miles of trail in two or three months will be on the ground," Currie said.
"I have no doubt in the next couple years this trail will be completed all the way to Phelps," said Gary Meister, the vice president of Great Headwaters Trails.
The trail is non-motorized so, no ATVs allowed, but it will be a snowmobile trail in the winter.

|'Once Upon a Mattress' on HHS stage
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Even though the story of "The Princess and the Pea" is well known, audience members might be in for a walloping surprise at the HHS Drama Department's production of "Once Upon a Mattress," set to hit the stage this weekend.
Performances are Friday and Saturday, March 22-23 at 8 p.m. in the HHS auditorium both nights.
Serving as the director of this year's spring musical is Eric Conklin, with Penny Dockins as assistant director and Pat Wiebers as music director.
A spin on the classic tale, there's a good chance this musical will make audiences never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
For instance, they might not have known that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste. And people probably don't know it wasn't, in fact, the pea that caused the princess a sleepless night.
Members of the "Once Upon a Mattress" cast are pictured from left, front row, Eva Penzing, Lori McWilliams, Kaely Zilla, Dani Brandt, Megan Parker and Brittney Prottsman; second row, A.J. Brandt, Alexandria McCallum, Elli Ahro, Alyssa Killin and Anastasia Conklin; and back row, Jack Gorwitz, Jacob Vasa, Zach Roll, Ryan Parker, Ben Martinez, Cody Lamm and Molly Brandt. Not pictured is Logan Gift. —Enterprise photo
Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans.
HHS cast members are Molly Brandt as Queen Aggravain; Jacob Vasa, Prince Dauntless; Eva Penzing, Princess Winnifred; Ben Martinez, jester; Anastasia Conklin, Lady Larken; Zach Roll, Sir Harry; Brittney Prottsman, minstrel; Jack Gorwitz, King Sextimus.
Ryan Parker, wizard; Dani Brandt, princess and Lady H; Logan Gift, Sir Studley; Alexandria McCallum, Lady Rowena and Nightingale; Elli Ahro, lady; A.J. Brandt, knight; Lori McWilliams, Lady Merrill; Megan Parker, Lady Mabelle; Kaely Zilla, lady; Cody Lamm, knight and Harold; and Alyssa Killin, Lady Beatrice.

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 43 reviews.Rating: sink or float???
Does this floating strap attach to a Panasonic Lumix TS20? The cord looks very think compared to the strap that came with the camera.
not a strong swimmer, looking for something around the waist for buoyancy when snorkeling. did not really want vest unless there is no other product. thanks...have done my own research but have come up with a zero.
Hello Polly, this you would not use as a personal float. This is a light weight float that is designed to float a small camera. If you are looking for a snorkeling vest for you I would suggest the: Innovative Jacket Style Snorkeling Vest web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-5/004417/Innovative-Jacket-Style-Snorkeling-Vest.html.
Every scuba diver has lost something. Hang around your local dive site or dive boat long enough and you will inevitably hear a tale of woe regarding a lost camera or dive light descending into the depths just out of reach of its former owner or the knife sheath that was found to be empty when the diver reached to retrieve that tool.
The Scuba Deluxe Float Strap may not be the total solution to lost articles underwater but it is a very handy step in the right direction. The lanyard will fit just about all waterproof cameras, knives or medium to small size dive lights. The padded Float Strap wraps comfortably around the divers wrist or attaches to a buoyancy compensator with the handy snap clip. In the event the item is dropped the float strap is positively buoyant and will float the item and the ultra-bright yellow color will make it easy to spot at the surface even in wind choppy conditions.

ISSUE: Spring 2012
DEPT: Personalities
STORY: Courtney Hong
Get ready, America. Japanese superstar Jin Akanishi is set to take over with his U.S. debut album, Japonicana.
Singer, songwriter, producer and actor Jin Akanishi is remarkably focused. The 27-year-old groundbreaking artist has been working hard (often with no time to eat) on his highly anticipated U.S. debut album, Japonica (a reference to the great influence that Japan, the U.S. and Spain have had on the singer), which drops March 6. Akanishi describes the album as one that "has no boundaries … a collection of music and sounds that I love," including club, dance and pop. It's a project that "really allows me to be creative and true to myself."
Akanishi, who grew up in Japan, is used to crossing boundaries. He was the lead vocalist for the Japanese boy band KAT-TUN, which had multiple number one hits on the Japanese national charts and became the first group to ever perform 10 consecutive days at one of Japan's most notable venues. But Akanishi stepped into unknown territory when he left KAT- TUN to pursue a solo career, without a record company's support, in order to fully utilize his creativity.
So far, Akanishi's risk-taking has paid off, with the release of his number one iTunes single, "Test Drive" featuring Jason Derulo, and a deal with Warner Music Group. After a number of solo shows in Japan, he toured the U.S. in 2010, performing at sold-out, 2,000-plus seat venues. "It was an amazing experience," says Akanishi. "It was the first time I did anything like that in the U.S."
Akanishi returns to the U.S. with a five-city tour starting March 9, and will be making his big screen debut as a wandering samurai alongside Keanu Reeves in the period film, 47 Ronin, opening on February 8, 2013. Though he's newly married, expect to see a lot more of the superstar. "L.A. has become a home away from home," he says. Lucky us!

In order to better manage our shelters and care for the thousands of stray animals that come through our doors each year, we are asking people who want to surrender a pet to speak with an Animal Welfare representative before bringing your pet in. If you must surrender a pet immediately, bring it to one of our animal shelters. If you are willing to help us deal with our capacity problem, we ask that you voluntarily go on a waiting list by calling 311 (768-2000) and giving your name and telephone number to a 311 operator. You will be contacted within one to three days.
View our list of available spay and neuter resources.
We appreciate folks working with us to help their pets as well as the 1,000 other animals we currently have in our care.

We are using ZCS release 7.2.0 on a CentOS 5.9 machine. I have one user who is using Outlook 2010. He has two email accounts. Each email account has a .pst file and neither one is backed-up by our back-up software most probably due to corruption in the files. Microsoft says that a .pst file "contains your e-mail messages, calendars, contracts, tasks and notes." I believe that Zimbra actually stores all of his emails on the Zimbra Server. Maybe, a copy of each email is stored in the .pst file but the actual email is still stored on the Zimbra Server. Am I correct?
Also, if this user creates any folder in Outlook and stores emails there, would the emails also be on the Zimbra Server or would they be taken off the Zimbra Server and put into the .pst file?

Yoshi Tatsu injury
Some good news for Yoshi Tatsu. For the past ten plus weeks, he had been wearing a protective halo around his head due to injuries suffered during a match against AJ Styles in New Japan. Tatsu revealed to fans through social media that he has now been allowed to have that removed. The road to recovery is still a long one, however, as the former WWE star still has four holes in his skull. He will be inactive for much of this year.

So sorry for your loss. Seems the drunk drivers are always taking good people away.
Sorry to hear that Dustin. That is rough and as it fall right around Christmas too! I lost one of my sons on October 26 2006 so I too know your hurt. I just have to keep it in heart that they are in a better place than we are and even though life can be amazing, it can really be a son-of-a-gun and our boys will never have to endure any of that. I guess a person has to take a blessing from wherever it comes.
What is your boys name? Mine was Jeremiah. I named him after Jeremiah Johnson.
Prayers for you and your boy.

ooh I like. The satelite style mountains are usually a pain to reconcile on a hand drawn map, but you seem to have pulled it off fairly well. I think it would look a little bit better though if the peaks weren't as "soft". Either way, the landmass and the grunge both look superb!
Great first map post

Is there a way to alphabetize the Briefcase and/or Calendar items. It would be so much easier if the items we alphabetical but we can't figure out how to do it. We have 28 schools with various functions on any given day, if they could all be listed under the schools name it would save us a large amount of time in checking and re-checking listings.

The controversy surrounding the Israeli's invasion of Gaza is being felt in the tennis world as well.
Israeli baller Shahar Peer, who has extra security with her this week, was asked via correspondence by a New Zealand protest group, Peace and Justice Auckland, to withdraw from this week's ASB Classic as a comprehensive sports boycott of Israel. When no reply was received, the group said it would protest outside the venue on Thursday when Shahar was scheduled to play her quarterfinal match.
The 21-year old, whose brother is a military-reservist and was called up, responded by saying,
I have nothing to do with this. I'm Shahar Peer. I came here to play tennis. I know I'm from Israel and I'm proud of my country and that playing tennis is what I'm going to do tomorrow.Sports + politics is such a tricky combination. Some athletes confront these situations head-on while others choose to avoid political issues altogether. Ultimately, it's a personal decision whether to engage the discussions or not.
Two days ago, I was crying a bit, actually more than a bit, so it was a hard time for me. I hope as soon as possible it will end and we will all be happy, because no one wants to be in a war.
But in any case, it must be a tough situation for Shahar and I think she made the right decision to play on. She's in Auckland to play tennis, not to be political.
Let's hope she stays safe over there.

Is the arrowhead game moved???
According to this yes
A Letter from AD John Currie - January 29 - Kansas State University Wildcats Official Athletics Site
likely to do with Kstate hosting a Thursday night game on October 7th.
Interesting how it all plays out??? I expect more details to come out today...
Chris any inside info???
It should be at The Jack, not KState.
Technically it would be there, due to the fact that we gave up our home game last year so this is the year that they would get the home game.
I think that it is unfair to do this. This is why contracts are written.
That letter states the game is still in Arrowhead, just a different date.
...And the home of the CHIEFS!!!
i dont know what you read but it said the game is at arrowhead
Hooray for Metaphors!
Start the Big 12 the week after at Iowa?
Yeah, we're supposed to play Utah that day...
The letter states that we play at Arrowhead on September 18, which I'm sure Utah would like to know since we are supposed to play them in Ames that weekend. Something is amiss.
K-State plays Missouri State, while ISU plays Iowa? This is complete BS.
Who the F*** is Missouri State?
Wouldn't surprise me to see Kstate weasel out of this game, wasn't there some quote from their coach about not wanting to play this game at arrowhead.

Well, the Big 12 says this game has to be played, and according to the KSU AD, it's still at Arrowhead, just a different date. It happens to be the same day we're scheduled to play Utah. If we have to change our schedule, it's just going to cause a domino effect with everyone else down the line.
I hope this isn't true, I've had to plan my vacation days well ahead this year due to the economic times we're in.
"The Constituiton...is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please."- - -Thomas Jefferson, Sept. 6, 1819.
Could this mean that we no longer play Utah next year? Might be able to schedule that extra easy non-con game some people have been clamoring for.
Maybe we get out of the Utah game and replace them with say, Utah State.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Utah and Kansas State Games just switched dates.

(USA TODAY) -- House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Friday he will continue looking for ways to resolve the "fiscal cliff" even after fellow Republicans rejected his proposed "Plan B."
Referring to President Obama and the Democratic-run Senate, Boehner told reporters: "We only run the House -- Democrats continue to run Washington."
Boehner, who has objected to a debt reduction plan proposed this week by Obama, spoke the night after he failed to get enough votes for "Plan B," which would have focused on extending most of the George W. Bush-era tax cuts.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said that Obama's main priority is to get a deal that avoids the fiscal cliff, the tax hikes and massive budget cuts that kick in next year unless the parties on a debt reduction deal.
"The President will work with Congress to get this done and we are hopeful that we will be able to find a bipartisan solution quickly that protects the middle class and our economy," Carney said.

Madisonian Turkey
Turkey | After traveling 3,700 miles by bus through almost every part of Turkey, our reporter offers lots of questions, some answers, and a hope based in The Federalist Papers
ANKARA, Turkey-Will the real Turkey please stand up?" If you ask that old game-show question in this Muslim land of 70 million, an entire, diverse country stands-or else everyone remains seated.
The European Union doesn't know the answer to that question. That's why its Oct. 6 decision on Turkey's request to join the 25-member economic bloc was only "a qualified yes," according to European Commission President Romano Prodi. If EU leaders in December vote for the commission's recommendation, talks between Turkey and the EU will begin, with membership for Turkey probably still at least a decade off.
The recommendation includes multiple conditions. To join, Turkey will have to enforce statutes banning torture and improve its record on civil and religious liberty. Turkey will have to improve per capita annual income ($3,000 compared to over $20,000 in Europe) and integrate the minority Kurds into Turkish society. But behind those and many other specifics lies fear: Would Europe be ingesting an upwardly mobile country yearning for Westernization, or a poison pill that would eventually help militant Islam gain the continental prize denied it centuries ago?
Is the real Turkey best represented by Ozlem Caglar Yilmaz, a young woman who studied politics at the University of Ankara, where she was influenced by a professor who favors free markets and a free exchange of ideas? Mrs. Yilmaz, a moderate Muslim, is general coordinator of a think tank here, the Association for Liberal Thinking. She fights for responsive government and opposes the rule that women wearing Muslim headscarves cannot work in governmental offices or enter universities.
Or is the real Turkey best represented by the women who crowd into a mosque in Sanliurfa, near the Syrian border, and show their faith not by wearing headscarves but by going all the way to only-eyes-showing black chadors? The mosque (without evidence) advertises itself as Abraham's birthplace 4,000 years ago. Many men, who enter into a separate chamber to peer through a grate into a cave that purportedly marks the birth spot, also give hostile looks to visiting Americans.
Or does friendly Istanbul journalist Mustafa Akyol, 32, represent Turkey's future? Sitting across the table from the columnist in an upscale restaurant in the modern, corporate section of Istanbul (home to Domino's and 7-11 outlets along with stores advertising fitness equipment and billboards showing fashionable cleavage), it's easy to imagine yourself in New York or Austin rather than across the river from the twisting, cobblestoned alleys of an ancient city that will soon resonate with minaret calls for evening prayer.
And does Turkey have any room for Metropolitan Saliba Ozmen and other Christians? Two years ago he returned from the United States to become head of a 12th-century Syrian Orthodox monastery in Mardin, a city of 62,000 in southeastern Turkey that was once 90 percent Christian but now has only 75 Christian families left. He points out the tomb in which centuries of metropolitans have been laid to rest, one body on top of the bones of the last, and says that one day he will be in there too-but will he be able to live out his life in peace?
One place to begin learning about Turkey is where President George W. Bush started during his visit here in Ankara on June 26. Officials on that day closed ordinary traffic on all of this capital city's main streets, three of which are named after one person. Ataturk Boulevard, Mustafa Kemal Pasha Boulevard, and Gazi Mustafa Kemal Boulevard (gazi means "victor over the infidels") all honor Mustafa Kemal, the founder of modern Turkey, who died in 1938 after turning Turkey from an Ottoman Muslim state into an officially secular semi-republic, semi-dictatorship. (He added on the name Ataturk, which means "father of the Turks.")
Scrunch Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt into one mountainous image and you begin to get a sense of Ataturk's importance in Turkey. His picture is on all denominations of bills from 1 million Turkish lira (worth, due to inflation, about 65 cents) to 50 million and beyond. President Bush during his visit squeezed in a trip of crucial symbolic importance to Anitkabir, the site where on most days adults and schoolchildren line up to walk past Ataturk's tomb. On one Saturday an old man with a cane painfully made his way up the 42 steps of the mausoleum.
The structure Mr. Bush saw is a secular shrine with towers that highlight Ataturk's statist and nationalist message. The mausoleum bows to the ancient history of this land by displaying 12 Hittite-style stone lions on each side of an entry promenade. It also bows to European influence by stationing helmeted soldiers like the British beefeaters, each not moving a muscle even when teenage girls vamp next to them. The tomb is huge and austere, but with a Turkish carpet-like design on the ceiling and latticework behind the tomb so that birds can fly in and out.
Visitors on that Saturday came clothed in traditional Muslim dress; as one guide put it, "Headscarves here would be like blasphemy. This is a temple to the religion of secularism." It's because of Ataturk that Turkish kids can get an education not constrained by Muslim theology. It's also because of Ataturk that one tasteless woman could walk around in a "Latin Lover" T-shirt, and that Turkey has only recently moved away from socialist policies that held it back economically.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk set up a one-party system so that "Kemalists," as his followers are called, could always be on top. Kemalists from the 1920s through the 1940s were less vicious than the Stalinists to their north, but they also tried to create a new human nature by kicking aside religion and demanding state education and media monopolies. Kemalists banned institutions of civil society that were or could be autonomous from the state: Governmental edict dissolved whirling dervish lodges in 1925, Turkish Hearths Clubs in 1931, and the Turkish Association of Women in 1935.
Turkey, worried about the Soviet Union (Russia is Turkey's traditional enemy No. 1), lobbied successfully after World War II to join NATO, and in return agreed to have its first elections in 1950. The Turkish government allowed the formation of a second party, called the Democrat Party, which shocked the Kemalists by sweeping to victory in that first election and ruling for a decade.
During the 1950s, though, when the popularly elected government backed Muslim exercise of civil rights, Kemalists accused it of "reactionism," which meant "endangering secularism" or allowing the development of an "uprising against the Republic." Kemalists led a military coup d'etat in 1960 that was widely supported by bureaucrats and intellectuals. Another army smackdown came in 1980, and in 1997 the military forced the government to resign.
These coups were designed to force political pauses-but as quarterbacks who call timeouts amid hostile crowd noise often learn, the furor soon returns. Each time Kemalist military leaders, backed up by judges, have banned particular parties and leaders, a similar party has soon emerged under a different name and new leadership.
When the military banned the Democrat Party in 1960 (and took the timeout to an extreme by hanging three of its leaders), the Justice Party took its place, and with the help of two smaller parties led a new ruling coalition. When the military knocked out the Justice Party in 1980, the Motherland Party-supported by two new creations, the True Path Party and the Welfare Party-took over.
By the late 1990s those two new parties led a dominant coalition that again threatened Kemalism, so the military stepped in again. This time the Justice and Development party emerged as No. 1, and "rules" today under Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "Rules" is in quotation marks, because if the government pushes measures perceived as threatening Kemalism, military leaders pressure it to pull back.
This year, for example, the government (pushed by its strong Islamist supporters) began talking about state funding for some Islamic schools and about legislation that would allow the wearing of headscarves in state offices or university classrooms. That is illegal now, which means Muslim women who believe heads need covering cannot be government workers or university students.
On both issues the moderate Islamic government pushed for changes, generated opposition from generals and other leaders, and backed off. This has become a repetitious political dance: Mr. Erdogan, who may be to hard-line Islamic politics what Britain's Tony Blair is to old-line Labor Party interests, says (in essence) I did my best, and keeps many radical Islamists in the fold.
Here's the bottom line: Turkish generals could sing, The eyes of Ataturk are upon you. (Some Turks still say about Ataturk, "His blue eyes see everything.") U.S. generals are trained to stay out of politics, but in Turkey the military is the preserver of Kemalism, which the Turkish Constitution enshrines as the country's official ideology. As the U.S. Supreme Court has become the defender of liberalism, so Turkish generals function like our nine justices in black robes-except that the Turkish soldiers can knock off an entire government rather than specific laws.
This leads to an ironic situation: Many leftists in Turkey are pro-military when push comes to shove, because officers are seen as protection against Islam. Left-of-center Turks, like their American counterparts, are all hat and no cattle: They talk a lot about democracy but know that conservatives have more popular support, so they are ready to have decision making on some issues (Islamic ones in Turkey, social issues involving abortion and homosexuality in the United States) taken out of the hands of the people and put into the hands of those deemed politically correct.
That doesn't give non-Kemalist political parties much running room. Secularists argue that any religion is a threat to the Kemalist constitutional structure, just as ACLU Americans argue that any religion is a threat to the U.S. Constitution. (One big difference, of course, is that aggressive secularism is written into the Turkish Constitution but not into the American one. But Mr. Akyol, the Turkish journalist, says that the moderate Islam he supports is merely asking that religious people have space in the public square so that they do not have to set aside Islam to participate in public life.)
The key question now for Turkey and the EU, and perhaps for the entire Middle East or even the whole world, is whether the Justice and Peace Party's "moderate Islam" is real, or a false hope arising from temporary tactical needs. Various pundits call the party Islamist, conservative, mildly Islamist, or post-Islamist, but it's not yet clear whether that party will work for a Turkey that respects both liberty and democracy.
Mr. Akyol, who writes for the daily newspaper Referans, says a Turkish compromise is workable, and that in the process "medieval Islamic understanding will be reformed." Moderate Muslims like himself, he says, have looked to the United States and praised America as a religious country that gives freedom to different beliefs. He argues that Turkey's entry into the EU will help moderate Muslims in their battle against radicals who would otherwise gain support from the growing Muslim populations of England, France, Germany, and other EU countries.
The Ankara think tank leader, Ozlem Caglar Yilmaz, perceives problems but fights on. She observes that "Turkey has fundamental problems in terms of responsive government and the rule of law. We have an official ideology, Kemalism, trying to promote a uniform character through education and books. Everything related to religion is seen as a big threat to the regime. We still have a collectivist economy."
But Mrs. Yilmaz also argues that Islam is not inevitably autocratic. She says Muslim states have corrupted Islam by infecting it with Western socialism. She acknowledges one basic problem-that Islam believes in complete unity of mosque and state-but hopes that Turkey will see a growth of civil society in which diverse interests can all have a role.
Mrs. Yilmaz sees the European Union membership process as helpful, because Turkish leaders will be forced to mind their manners so as to win admission to the swank Euro club with its French chefs. (The irony of France and some other countries pressing Turkey to improve its policy on religious liberty is intense, of course. France bans headscarves and is calling for an end to the EU ban on arms sales to China, despite its continuing human-rights violations.)
Metropolitan Ozmen on the Mardin frontier also says that "Turkey's entry into the EU should be supported. We will have more freedom of religion." The increased liberty required by the EU should allow Christians to open churches, schools, and seminaries. But the democratization process could cut the other way. If the 10 percent to 15 percent of Turkey's voters who are Muslim traditionalists can convince a critical mass of others to join them, and the army does not intervene, the next generation could witness the imposition of Islamic law.
Will liberty and democracy advance together in Turkey, now the great moderate Muslim hope in the Middle East? The West held up Iran in the 1970s as a moderate Muslim leader, but power in that country was still centralized and could readily be seized by the radical forces of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Turkey's moderates argue (or hope) that influence in Turkey is now spread among business executives, government bureaucrats, various factions of imams, media and academic leaders, and of course the army, so that factions have to negotiate with other factions.
That is essentially a Madisonian position. James Madison pushed for checks and balances within government and religious pluralism within society. He contended that the establishment of one religion creates tyranny and the existence of two religions leads to civil war, but the presence of three or more can create the grounds for liberty. Opposing those who thought that a country as large as the United States could not stay together, Madison in his newspaper columns that went into The Federalist Papers contended that size would help, because the conflict of powerful factions would keep any one from becoming ascendant and lording it over the others.
Now that it's common to talk about "red America" and "blue America," defined by voting patterns, maybe it's time to talk about a red and blue Turkey (or perhaps a secular gray and Islamic green one), with various shadings in between. The EU's "qualified yes" should put into sharp relief Turkey's chance not only to enter the club but to show that a Madisonian Turkey can be the hope of the Muslim world.
-For a look at the position of Christians in Turkey, see "Frontier evangelism," which was published in the Aug. 28, 2004, issue of WORLD.

Tally on Sports Field Hits $3.3M
Construction estimated at $2.08M for Chambers Recreation Park
June 19, 2013
Building the proposed J.B. Chambers Recreation Park in East Wheeling will cost about $2.08 million, officials learned Tuesday, though it remains unclear when construction will proceed....
Wheeling does not need this.

ok, LOCAL taxpayer money. Either way, like I said, I believe it to be well worth the money anyway.

positive: "Most of the money comes from block grants and private donations, not taxpayer money."
Just where do you think the block grants come from?
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"The total bid amount was less than the city's engineering firm, Alpha Associates, had anticipated. But City Manager Robert Herron said there is no timetable for City Council to award the contracts, as the city continues to solicit private donations for the project."
If the bids are less that the Engineer's estimate, and the City still needs to solicit donations for the project to proceed, why where contractors asked to spend their time and money to tender bids?

This is going to be a definite improvement on that neighborhood and the city of Wheeling. Most of the money comes from block grants and private donations, not taxpayer money. Yes, CCHS will probably use the field, but guess what, their families pay taxes too. The playground will be great for those neighborhood kids. I think that parks like this make Wheeling a more attractive place for families. So, great job to our leaders and I hope construction begins soon!

They better build it fast, before the price goes up to $5,000,000. Pretty much for a CCHS Playground. They claim that structures torn down were used by dope heads. Now they are spread all over the city.

what a waste of time and money. so, WCCHS needs practice facility and they will cover it under the guise of a few 'community events' and call it a success for the entire city. 'a win-win situation' for both the local high school and the community. what a joke. i agreed with the idea to tear down that blighted part of the city, but......
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Ask Wheeling Central and the Catholic Church for the difference in funds because Central will be the majority user of the field and is the biggest winner in this deal. Seriously, is East Wheeling population busting at the seams so much that this new park was needed to meet the demand. Let me guess, residents from Elm Grove, Warwood, Edgewood, Woodsdale, Fulton, and such are going to come in masses to use this $3.3 million park.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
at that price it should be vandal proof.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
All for something that Wheeling doesn't need. Just think where that money could be used on others things. Don't forget the spiked fence around it too. You gave to keep the crack heads out.

Was that shot above Nevada City?
He's a stud... Congrats!
"This is A Way of Life"
Was that shot above Nevada City?
Great looking buck! Did you treat the velvet yourself? If so what method did you use. I'm fond of formaldehyde, but not everyone can get that.
People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
I use Velvet in Tan from VanDykes. Poke the tips, then inject into the veins until all the blood is pushed out the tips. Then I put some in a spray bottle and hit the entire rack until its pretty moist. Hang upside down for 2 days before rinsing off with cold water. Works great for me...
I know the feeling. I have lost alot of property over the years to no falt of my own. (People moving, property getting sold and old timers passing.) It sucks!!! I have been doing pretty well the last few years on public ground but I'm still searching for that honey hole. Good luck this season!
Will do! I Need Rod to sell my turkey shotgun I won so I can buy a new bow.

Just installed a fresh copy of 8.0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS - with a license file received from Zimbra for 300 Professional level accounts. The administration site seems to be missing several features/options that according to the manual (yes I read the manual) should be there. Here is a brief list of the MIA features/options:
1) License Activation - According to the manual it should be under "Global Settings > License" but this does not exist on my installation.
2) Zimbra Mobile - Again manual states "Configure>Class of Service>Mobile Access page" but it's not there - or any where else for that matter.
3) Archiving - not there
4) ACL - not there
One other quirk I've found - when logged in as a normal user, under the address book I see a Distribution List folder and the users manual speaks of creating and managing lists but the menu item to add a new list is not there.
Running Version 8.0.3_GA_5664.NETWORK Mar 5, 2013
Any ideas and what may be going on?

Psychosomatic Medicine Fellowship - Training Program
Inpatient Consultation Service — Hartford Hospital
A required, year-long, full- to part-time rotation offering fellows the opportunity to consult to Connecticut's largest tertiary referral center. Residents are taught by senior consultation/liaison educators with specialized expertise in areas such as palliative care, internal medicine, adolescent and family psychiatry, HIV disease, substance-induced syndromes and oncology. Especially strong relationships exist with oncology, HIV, transplantation, palliative care, internal medicine, cardiology and the medical and surgical intensive care units. Fellows begin by consulting individually on one to four new consults per day and carry a total of seven to 10 patients individually. As attendings-in-training and supervisors of more junior trainees, they follow 15 to 20 patients, approximately five of whom they carry independently. Patient responsibilities are reduced as fellows spend more time in outpatient and liaison psychiatry.
Fellow-as Educator Service — Hartford Hospital
A required, part-time, 10-month rotation that provides fellows with the opportunity to enhance their skills as educators and supervisors. Many of the faculty are themselves recipients of teaching awards. One to two days each week, fellows serve as attendings-in-training, working alongside their assigned faculty members and conducting case-management rounds, bedside teaching rounds and case-based literature reviews. Other responsibilities include supervising PGY-2 psychiatry residents and PGY-3 internal medicine residents in preparation for two Combined Internal Medicine/Psychiatry Case Conferences, conducting Internal Medicine Morning Report, and giving several PGY-1 lectures in psychosomatic medicine topics of interest.
Disease Management Team Liaison Service — Hartford Hospital
A required, part-time, eight-month rotation in which the fellow serves as liaison to a subspecialty area of the hospital and provides leadership to the psychosocial team. The fellow attends meetings of the multidisciplinary team, identifies and provides for unique patient care needs, attends to the educational and patient management needs of the service area, and examines systems issues that arise. He/she also case-finds and provides formal and informal consultation to the team. The fellow carries two to seven patients from the liaison area weekly, either individually or as supervisor of junior trainees.
Psychosomatic Medicine Outpatient Continuity and Outpatient Subspecialty Services — Hartford Hospital
A required, part-time rotation that includes12 months in continuity outpatient and six months in subspecialty outpatient work. In the continuity outpatient rotation, the fellow carries outpatients from his/her inpatient C/L experience under supervision. Frequency of sessions may range from once a week for psychotherapy and/or psychotropic medication management to once every few months for psychotropic medication management alone. In outpatient subspecialty, the fellow selects an outpatient subspecialty service and spends one-half day in the selected clinic.
Scholarship Service — Hartford Hospital or The Institute of Living
During this part-time, 10-month rotation, the fellow engages in required scholarly pursuit or research activities. The scholarship results in either a Grand Rounds or Psychopharmacology and Neuroscience Rounds presentation at year's end. Alternatively, the fellow joins an ongoing research project or develops a feasible one of his/her own, working with our research faculty.

text: Robert. Welcome to the forum. That's a lot of questions. I would think you will be able to answer pretty much all of those with the exception of the snake question if you look through the threads. Look in the Wy section and maybe try a search with your areas in the serch field. Good luck

Women aged 15-49
Source of information
The eligible woman selected for interview
|Asked for the test
|Offered and accepted
Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Literal question
Did you, yourself, ask for the test, was it offered to you and you accepted, or was it required?
Interviewer instructions
The following questions aim to obtain information about the level of 'unmet need' for HIV-testing. They first ask about experience of HIV testing. Voluntary testing and counselling are now encouraged, in the belief that if a person knows his or her status, he or she is more likely to adopt behaviours to prevent contracting the virus or (if positive) transmitting it. Many of those who get tested do not return to learn the results of the test, but the proportion of those who return should rise as the quality of pre-test counselling improves. It is important to obtain an estimate of the number of those tested who return to learn the results, in order to monitor this proxy indicator of the quality of available counselling and the level of demand for such services. --- If the respondent has been tested for HIV, we want to know whose idea it was to get the test. There are three options, so read the entire question before expecting an answer. Perhaps the respondent asked to be tested for HIV. Perhaps a health worker offered to test the respondent and the respondent accepted being tested. Perhaps the test was required for some reason. Circle the code corresponding to the response. If the respondent got tested because her partner asked her to do so, you would circle '1', corresponding to 'Asked for the test', because she got the test of her own volition, in response to someone asking her to do so. This would be the case if a girlfriend or boyfriend or spouse or other concerned person personally asked them to get tested. If the respondent was offered the test during a normal health centre visit, for instance, and the respondent accepted the test, this would be coded as '2', 'Offered and accepted'. By 'required', we mean formally required. For example, an employer may require their employees to get tested for the AIDS virus. If so, you would circle '3' for 'Required'. Also, some countries require applicants applying for work permits or applicants applying for visas to show proof of an AIDS test.
