The present invention relates to a system and method for allowing a subscriber access to pre-paid telecommunication service by dialing a telephone number with a direct dial access designation.
A pre-paid telephone service is where a subscriber pays for an account with a pre-determined monetary value. Through a network platform, the duration of a call is monitored and the account is debited according to a specified rate.
Traditionally, a pre-paid account may be purchased by a customer at a retail store in the form of a long distance calling card. The customer uses special toll free numbers associated with the calling card to access the pre-paid account. Alternatively, a pre-paid account may be purchased through a customer service representative and associated with a subscriber's telephone. The pre-paid account is triggered by the subscriber making a regular 1+ toll call. Instead of the call being billed to the customer's regular telephone account, the call is debited from the subscriber's pre-paid account.
Using a long distance calling card requires dialing extra digits in order to use the pre-paid service. This is inefficient. While a pre-paid account associated with a subscriber's telephone eliminates the need to dial extra digits, other problems arise. Specifically, because the subscriber's pre-paid account only triggers when dialing a regular 1+ toll call the subscriber is forced to choose between pre-paid or post-paid service and cannot have both concurrently.
Although the 1+ pre-paid service is functional, there is a need for more flexible access to pre-paid service.
In order to address the deficiencies in the prior art and provide improved performance, an improved system and method are provided for allowing direct dial pre-paid telecommunication access. According to a first aspect of the invention, a method is provided for providing pre-paid long distance telecommunication services to a subscriber having a telecommunication device configured to communicate with a telecommunication network. A telephone call made from the telecommunication device to a destination telephone number is received. If the destination telephone number has a direct dial access designation other than 1 or 011 the call is routed to a pre-paid platform.
According to another aspect of the invention, a system for providing direct dial pre-paid telecommunication services is disclosed. The system includes a local exchange carrier in communication with a telecommunication network configured to receive a telephone call from a telecommunication device to a destination number and route the call over the network to a long distance carrier. The long distance carrier is configured to route the call to a pre-paid platform if the telephone call has a direct dial access designation other than 1 or 011.
In order to use a direct dial post paid access method a subscriber may dial "one" plus a domestic telephone number ("1+") or "zero one one" plus an international telephone number ("011+"). In order to use a direct dial pre-paid access method a subscriber may dial "zero" plus a domestic telephone number ("0+") or "zero one" plus an international telephone number ("01+"). Indirect dial post-paid access may be provided by just dialing "zero zero" ("00−").
The following embodiments are described with reference to domestic calls, i.e. calls to 1+, 0+, or 00− numbers. However, any of these embodiments may be implemented to handle international calls, i.e. calls to 011+ or 01+ numbers, in addition to, or instead of, domestic calls.
Referring to
The local exchange carriers (12, 24) and the long distance carrier (14) may be implemented as service switching points ("SSP"). The pre-paid platform (18) may be implemented as a service control point ("SCP") capable of Signaling System Seven ("SS7") query processing. The telecommunication devices (10, 26) may be wireless or land-line devices. The telecommunication lines of the telecommunication network (100) may be land-lines, wireless communication networks, or any combination of the two. In one embodiment, the pre-paid ANI account database (20) and the pre-paid ANI lookup database (16) are the same database.
In response to the subscriber dialing the 0+ telephone number the telecommunication device routes the call and call context to the LEC (12) (Step 101). Call context may be any information associated with the call and usually includes at least the ANI value associated with the telecommunication device (10) making the call. The LEC (12) receives the call and call context from the telecommunication device (10) (Step 101). The LEC identifies the destination telephone number as a 0+ telephone number and routes the call and call context to the subscriber's long distance carrier (14) (Step 102). The long distance carrier (14) determines where to route the call by querying the ANI Database (16) using the telecommunication device's ANI value (Step 103). If the query verifies the telecommunication device (10) is associated with a valid pre-paid account then the call and the call context is routed to the pre-paid platform (18) associated with that pre-paid account (Step 104). Otherwise the subscriber's call would be routed to an alternate billing platform (not shown).
The pre-paid platform (18) queries the pre-paid ANI account database (20) to verify the pre-paid account has a desired minimum balance (Step 105). If the pre-paid account does not have the desired minimum balance the subscriber is notified and the call is terminated or transferred to an interactive voice response ("IVR") system. In one embodiment the IVR system allows the subscriber to deposit money into their account. In another embodiment the IVR system allows the subscriber access to an alternate billing method. Access may be provided through the telecommunication network (100) to an alternate billing platform (not shown) or in the alternative the pre-paid platform may contain the necessary logic to handle the alternate billing method desired by the subscriber.
Upon verification, the call and call context are routed through the telecommunication network (100, 14, 22) to the destination telecommunication device (24) (Step 106). When the call is answered the telecommunication device (26) routes an answer message ("ANM") signal back to the pre-paid platform (18) through the telecommunication network (100, 24, 22, 14) (Step 107). The pre-paid platform (18) monitors the call and communicates with the pre-paid ANI account database to debit the pre-paid account based on the duration of the call (Step 108). The monitoring and debiting may be done after the call is terminated, in real time, in a fixed increment, or any combination thereof.
Referring to
Referring to
A post paid restriction on a pre-paid account blocks all post paid toll calls, domestic or international, allowing the subscriber to only make toll free calls or pre-paid calls. This restriction may be due to non-payment or requested by the subscriber. The 0+ pre-paid call system is also compatible with post paid restrictions associated with an ANI. For example, it is possible to prevent all toll calls or limit toll calls by destination, MOU, or credit rating associated with a particular ANI.
Referring to
A post paid option on a pre-paid account allows post paid toll calls, domestic or international, in addition to the toll free and pre-paid calls allowed with 0+ pre-paid access. This option may be provided by request, as an incentive, or as a backup. For example, a subscriber may be offered pre-paid access at a reduced rate relative to the subscriber's post paid rate. In another example, a subscriber with a post paid restriction may be offered a post paid option which allows a certain number of post paid MOU.
Referring to
Any of the equipment used in the above embodiments may be off the shelf or custom equipment designed to implement any of the systems or methods described above. As described above, any of the local exchange carriers or long distance carriers may be implemented as service switching points ("SSP"). Specifically, one example of a local exchange carrier service switching point that may be used is a Nortel DMS100/200 or Lucent 4ESS or 5ESS. One example of a long distance carrier service switching point that may be used is a Nortel DMS 250 or the DMS 300 for international access or Lucent 4ESS or 5ESS.
Any type of custom or off the shelf equipment may be used to implement the pre-paid, alternate billing, or operator assistance platforms described above. These platforms are typically implemented as service control points ("SCP"). Examples of pre-paid service control points are the various products available from Encompass. One example of an alternate billing service control point is the Intervoice Automated Operator Service/Post Paid platform. Examples of an operator assistance platform are the Intelis Enhanced Operator Services Platform ("EOS") or the Lucent Traffic Operator Position System ("TOPS").
The databases in the above embodiments may be implemented using a custom or off the shelf software application. Specifically, examples of a pre-paid ANI lookup database are the Nortel DMS 200 or 250 ANI Value Table embedded in an SSP. An example of a pre-paid ANI account database is the Encompass Pre-Paid platform.
The inter-exchange network described above may be implemented using any number of custom or off the shelf network elements. Examples of such off the shelf network elements are the Nortel DMS 200, 250, and 300.
The embodiments described above provide more flexible access to pre-paid long distance service. Flexibility is achieved by allowing concurrent use of 1+ post paid and 0+ pre-paid access for the same subscriber. Concurrency is provided because the long distance carrier is configured to identify whether the subscriber chose pre-paid access by dialing a 0+ telephone number or alternatively chose post paid access by dialing a 1+ telephone number. Each time a subscriber decides to make a telephone call they choose either to make the call using 1+ post paid service or 0+ pre-paid service. Using this system and method a subscriber need not change or forfeit any access to 1+ post paid calls.
While these embodiments have been described in the domestic context referencing 0+ and 1+ numbers, these embodiments apply equally in the international context of 01+ and 011+ numbers. For example, an international direct dial pre-paid access designation of 01 may be treated the same as a domestic direct dial pre-paid access designation 0 and an international direct dial post paid access designation of 011 may be treated the same as a domestic direct dial post paid access designation of 1. International calls use a different scheme than domestic calls, the international scheme is: access designation, country code, city code, telephone number. Although domestic and international calls use a different scheme, in both schemes the access designation appears at the beginning of the scheme and may be treated similarly. The above embodiments may be provided in the international context by replacing the 0 access designation with the 01 access designation and replacing the 1 access designation with the 011 access designation. Alternatively, the above embodiments may use a direct dial pre-paid access designation of either 0 or 01, and a direct dial post paid access designation of either 1 or 011. This would allow the above system to handle both domestic and international calls.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to these embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. As such, it is intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting and that it is the appended claims, including all equivalents thereof, which are intended to define the scope of the invention.

Q&A with Notre Dame's Leprechaun
NORMAN – Leprechaun Bryce grew up in southern Indiana. He's been an Irish fan since he was little.
"I was probably brainwashed by my father," Leprechaun Bryce told The Oklahoman in a phone interview from the campus of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind.
Now, he's in his final year at the University of Notre Dame. He's majoring in Science and Business and applying to medical school. Before med school though, he'll continue to lead Notre Dame fans, alumni and more in cheers and pep rallies. Here, he explains his role as the Leprechaun, what it's like to being one of the few mascots of a university that can actually speak, what ESPN's College GameDay is like and how he thinks this weekend wil play out when No. 5 Notre Dame visits No. 7 Oklahoma.
How do you become the Notre Dame Leprechaun?
There's a three-week tryout that runs concurrently with cheerleading tryouts. The main part of the tryout is public speaking so they'll kind of put you on the spot. They'll have all the cheerleaders there and you'll try out in front of a big audience.
The example we had last year was you're now in Norman, Okla. And we're about to play them and we're about to do a pep rally for the alumni. You have a couple minutes to prepare something and then you go out and give a pep rally or they want to see how you react in an embarrassing situation so I know the one time they put us on the baseline in front of all those people and they turned on 'Teach Me How To Dougie" and they would kind of point at us to make us come out to the free throw line and dance in front of all of them to see how you react and see how you will come up with things while you speak.
Then on the last day of tryouts, it's open to the public. You can get all your friends to come. Everyone gets to dress up like a leprechaun. They have old suits and things like that and then you can do a pep rally and a media interview and the Irish jig, a push-up contest and another random situation. After that, you have another interview and they decide that night and post it.
What made you decide to try out to become the Leprechaun?
I've always been a Notre Dame fan. I'm only 5-foot-7 and I have red hair and can grow a beard. Even when I was in high school, people told me that I should try out. Then when I got here, I thought I'd give it a try.
What is the job of the Notre Dame Leprechaun?
A lot of people think it's limited to running around on the sidelines but it actually has a much wider scope than that. I emcee pep rallies that we have here and on the road. We'll have one when we go to Oklahoma on Friday night. We do community events with the cheerleaders or we'll go to hospitals or nursing homes. … It's a wide variety of jobs other than just doing things for athletics.
It seems like it's more than being a mascot on game day. Why is it like that?
The Leprechaun is part of the cheerleading team but it's also like an ambassador to the University. So they see us as a way to outreach to the community or when we go places it's a way for us to be the segue between the University and the fans.
Being a mascot that does speak, do you feel different than most mascots?
Yeah. Sometimes I'll be in a situation where I'll be in a situation where I'm around other ones and they can't even speak to me. They're just kind of like this animated figure on the sidelines. They give gestures and head nods but I get to talk to people and lead cheers and I guess emcee the pep rallies. It's a much different type of position being able to speak than not being able to.
What's your favorite part of game day?
Besides the game, obviously – the games are very exciting, especially this year with the team doing so well; it's a great time. But I think just connecting with all the fans. They're so excited to be there. It's just fun to interact with them and take pictures with them and talk with them. It's probably the most rewarding part.
Is that what you like outside of game day too?
Yeah, when we go to hospitals and things like that, just being able to connect with those fans and make their day better. It's a very rewarding part of the job.
How many push-ups can you do?
I can do about 100.
It's a compilation though so you have to do it every time Notre Dame scores though, don't you?
Right. So any time they score a touchdown we do the amount of push-ups that they have points. We went to Ireland at the beginning of the year when we played Navy and by the end of it, when you do 7, 14 — all the way to 43 and then 50 it's quite a few pushups.
What do you think about Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o?
Manti Te'o is just the perfect definition of a student athlete. He works hard in the classroom. He's such a great football player obviously but such a great person off the field. Someone that anyone can look up to and he's had a rough time with the death of his grandmother and his girlfriend this year. He's been such a good example for anyone to follow. It's just an inspiring story.
What do you like most about Notre Dame?
It is the people here. I think people get, a lot of times caught up, in the physical structures of Notre Dame with the (Golden) Dome and Touchdown Jesus, but the people here are all very intelligent, well-rounded people and I think that's why you see so many people with such a strong connection to the place.Can you explain what the Golden Dome and Touchdown Jesus are?
The Golden Dome is our main administration building and it has a 24-carat gold leaf dome on it with a statue of Mary on top of it that's also golden. Touchdown Jesus is just the name that people give it. It's technically called the "Word of Life" mural. It's this stone façade on the exterior of the library. Jesus is raising his arms so it looks like a touchdown gesture. Before they renovated the stadium, you could see it but now it's kind of hard if you're not on the opposite side.
Isn't some of the Golden Dome in the players' helmets?
Every time they renovate the Dome, they take that gold and used to sprinkle that into the helmets and they also put it in the seal on your diploma. They now make the helmets differently. At about the halfway point of last year, our helmets became an incredibly brighter gold. I would imagine that they still use 24-carat gold dust in them but I'm not sure on that new process.
What are you most looking forward to about Norman, Oklahoma?
I've never been to Oklahoma. I think I've flown over it once, so I don't know what to expect. I think it's going to be kind of a loud, hostile environment. Since College GameDay is going to be there it's going to be really exciting. I know that everyone here on campus is going to be excited for it.
What was the best sign that you saw at College GameDay when the crew was there for the Stanford – Notre Dame game?
Since Touchdown Jesus was in the background, my favorite one was 'SEC, this is what a library looks like.' I'm excited to see what signs Oklahoma can come up with.
GameDay's Lee Corso pulled you up on stage. Can you tell me about that?
We got him a past Notre Dame Leprechaun suit. He always does the head-gear pick. I think they'd been to Notre Dame eight times before that and he'd never picked Notre Dame and so he finally picked them and we both went up on stage and we did an Irish jig together. It was an incredible time.
What do you think about this weekend's game?
It's a prime-time game. It'll be Notre Dame's second game day in three weeks, which is incredibly exciting. We're expecting a super loud, hostile environment and I know if Oklahoma's playing Notre Dame that's exactly what I would be wanting and anticipating. I'm just expecting a great football game between two top 10 teams, and hopefully Notre Dame comes out on top.

9. Think Again: What's the one trait most VARs and MSPs lack? Sales skills? Marketing skills? Actually it's something far more basic, according to ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini. Here's his answer.
8. The Cloud War: Everyone is taking about the Citrix CloudStack vs. OpenStack battle. But is the open source cloud battle real or perceived?
7. Google Chromebooks vs PCs: What's the total cost of ownership of Google Chromebooks vs traditional PCs? Google offers a pricing calculator that generates an alleged answer. But what's the bigger story with Chromebooks? Talkin' Cloud offered an update.
6. Big Box Challenge: As Best Buy closes some stores, can the company's managed services business -- mindSHIFT -- thrive? We've got some exclusive insights.
5. Nimsoft CEO Exits: Changes are afoot within CA Technology's MSP software division. MSPmentor had the original story here. But the follow-up just went live here.
4. Ten Best Cloud Stocks: When 1Q 2012 ended, Talkin' Cloud disclosed the 10 best-performing cloud computing and cloud services stocks for the quarter. The data is from the Talkin' Cloud Stocks Index, which rose 26 percent in 1Q 2012.
3. Attacking IBM: Dell's Clerity acquisition is all about "application modernization." Or is it more about migrating IBM mainframe customer applications to Linux and Windows? Here's The VAR Guy's educated guess.
2. Move Over, Microsoft Skype: It sounds like Cisco Jabber could be an emerging alternative for video conferencing and instant messaging. Here's why.
1. That Old Ubuntu Magic: Quite a few VARs are still wondering if Ubuntu, the popular Linux distribution, has a place in corporate deployments. Here's the latest chatter.
That's all for now. Thanks for your readership.

Although I LOVE coffee, water helps me to be well hydrated. With experience, coffee makes me feel like a druppy flower which doesn't allow the juices to flow through the brain to get me through the exam! But water plumps me up and I feel sharp as a tak. =D

Borodina sang brilliantly and together with Gergiev's equally melodious and gentle orchestra she formed a magnificent duet. Borodina performed naturally, in her own manner… the image emerged from her sense of confidence, her irresistible nature and her sense of power...
Saint-Saëns' heroine requires special qualities of timbre and the ability to change the 'temperature' of the singing in an instant – from passionate heat to icy cunning. Borodina has all of this, the nobleness and purity of her voice sometimes making those who listen to her Dalila to lose themselves. She is very good indeed – even too good for such a terrible character.
They listened to her magical mezzo-soprano voice as if enchanted. This magnificent voice sounded even, intense and true.
Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti
Grammy-award winning mezzo-soprano Olga Borodina is a star of the Mariinsky Theatre, regularly appearing at major opera houses and with great orchestras around the world. A winner of the Rosa Ponselle and Barcelona competitions, Olga Borodina made her highly acclaimed European debut at London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in 1992, sharing the stage with Plácido Domingo in Samson et Dalila – a performance that launched her international solo career as one of the most sought after mezzos for her repertoire.
Olga Borodina returned to Covent Garden in La Cenerentola, as Marguérite in La Damnation de Faust with Sir Colin Davis, as Marina in Boris Godunov, Marfa in Khovanshchina, Amneris in Aida and, most recently, as the Princesse de Bouillon in McVicker's celebrated new production of Adriana Lecouvreur alongside Angela Gheorghiu and Jonas Kauffmann.
Borodina made her American debut in 1995 at the San Francisco Opera in La Cenerentola, returning in 1996 for Carmen, The Tsar's Bride in 2000, Samson et Dalila in 2001, L'italiana in Algeri in 2005 and Samson et Dalila again in 2006. Borodina made her long- awaited Metropolitan Opera debut in Boris Godunov (1997) and returned to the Metropolitan Opera for the opening night of the 1998-99 season in Samson et Dalila with Plácido Domingo under James Levine. Subsequent engagements at the Metropolitan Opera have included Amneris in Aida, Carmen, Samson et Dalila, Isabella in L'italiana in Algeri, La Gioconda, Eboli in Don Carlo and the Princesse de Bouillon in Adriana Lecouvreur together with Plácido Domingo, and as Marguerite in Robert Lepage's production of La Damnation de Faust. The New York Times hailed Borodina's performance as Marfa in Khovanshchina, saying that "Ms Borodina made the cavernous Met feel tiny" (New York Times, 28 February 2012).
Her recital appearances with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra under James Levine at Carnegie Hall have included Scheherazade, Verdi's Requiem and La Mort de Cléopâtre, the latter of which was also recorded live at the Vienna Musikverein with the Wiener Philharmonic and Gergiev for Decca. Borodina has also appeared with the world's greatest orchestras and conductors performing Songs and Dances of Death at the BBC Proms with Valery Gergiev and the Rotterdam Philharmonic, at the Bastille with Conlon, with the Concertgebouw Orchestra and Rostropovich in Amsterdam and the Royal Festival Hall in London. Other concert engagements have included Roméo et Juliette, Rossini's Stabat Mater, Pulcinella, Ivan the Terrible and Alexander Nevsky.
In recital, Olga Borodina has performed at venues throughout the world including London (Wigmore Hall and the Barbican Centre), Milan (La Scala), Vienna (Konzerthaus), San Francisco (Davies Symphony Hall), Rome (Accademia di Santa Cecilia), Geneva (Grand Théâtre), Hamburg (Staatsoper), Paris (Théâtre des Champs Élysées), Barcelona (Gran Teatre del Liceu), Madrid (National Concert Hall) and Amsterdam (Concertgebouw). Borodina's 2011-2012 season highlights included performing as Amneris in Aida at both the Wiener Staatsoper and the Metropolitan Opera, the latter televised live in HD. She also received critical acclaim for her performance in a televised gala from Avery Fisher Hall, New York – "Borodina herself gave a magnificent performance that showed us the range of a fantastic instrument in the hands of a true artist..."
In 2014 Borodina recorded Prokofiev's Ivan the Terrible for Sony Classical alongside the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and Tugan Sokhiev.
Signed to the Philips Classics label for over ten years, Borodina has released many recordings including Khovanshchina, The Queen of Spades, War and Peace, Prince Igor, Boris Godunov, Eugene Onegin, La forza del destino, Don Carlo, Rachmaninov's Vespers, Stravinsky's Pulcinella, Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette and the double album A Portrait of Olga Borodina featuring a selection of songs and arias. These recordings include performances with Valery Gergiev, Bernard Haitink and Sir Colin Davis. Her solo recital recordings on the Philips Classics label include Tchaikovsky Songs of Desire, Bolero and an album of opera arias with the Welsh National Opera Orchestra and Carlo Rizzi. On the Erato label she recorded Samson et Dalila opposite José Cura with Sir Colin Davis. Other releases have included Verdi's Requiem with Gergiev, Aida with Harnoncourt and the Wiener Philharmoniker and Berlioz's La Mort de Cléopâtre from live concerts at the Musikverein with the Wiener Philharmoniker and Gergiev for Decca.
Olga Borodina was made a People's Artist of Russia in 2002, and in 2007 was the recipient of the State Prize of Russia – the country's highest award. Her recent Verdi's Requiem recording with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and maestro Muti won two Grammys in 2011 for "Best Classical Album" and "Best Choral Performance". Borodina was one of the first Russian Artists to receive a Grammy.

STANWOOD, Wash. (AP) — A Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman says a body recovered in Lake Howard is believed to be that of a missing Stanwood-area woman.
Spokeswoman Rebecca Hover says 53-year-old Shannon Ross was last heard from June 30. Her family and investigators had been looking for her in the area.
The spokeswoman says there were no signs of foul play either at the lake or Ross' home. Detectives think the woman may have been swimming in the lake.
The Snohomish County medical examiner's office will confirm the identity of the body found Friday and determine the cause and manner of death.

Drill, Apollo Lunar Surface (ALSD)
The Apollo Lunar Surface Drill (ALSD) was deployed on Apollo 15, 16, and 17. It consisted of a cordless, battery-operated motor with specialized drill bits and modular core stems. The system was designed to extract soil column samples and to create holes for emplacement of two heat flow probes into the lunar surface. Each core stem segment was a rigid but hollow tube measuring about 40 cm. (16 in.) in length. Joined together and driven into the surface, they enabled astronauts to drill as deep as 10 ft into the lunar soil.
This drill was used for training. It was transferred from NASA to the Smithsonian in 1976.

He's ben posting really odd stuff on the East Bay Bike Coalition list serve lately.
Like this:
But given the bicycle's susceptibility to potholes etc., I can't see how it's safe to ride much more than 10 MPH, in spite of what some people recommend.

Wow, glad they caught him. I've come across his stuff before, namely this site. Very unpleasant and authoritarian-sounding guy.
(Posting from Vermont, alas.) Holy ish. That guy is a class-A d*ckhe*d. Glad they nabbed him.
Strangely, when I heard that an environmentalist had attacked cyclists with a saw, Vandeman came instantly to mind. For those who aren't aware of him, Mikey Vandeman was one of the great USENET trolls of the nineties and early two thousands, famous (or infamous) for his one person campaign against mountain bicyclists in alt.mountain-bike and other forums.

Don't go out on a bicycle wearing a tail coat unless you enjoy making a ridiculous show of yourself.
Vandeman is clearly mentally ill. I hope he now gets the help he needs. And I don't mind if that is in a prison setting.

"Traveling Around Prince of Wales Island" Prince of Wales Island by mcpangie
Prince of Wales Island Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 12 photos
In February 1998 I had the chance to travel to the Indian village of Hydaburg, approximately 30 miles from Craig, Alaska on the Western coast of Prince of Wales Island. The population of Hydaburg is mainly Haida, Tsimshian, and Tlingit Indians.
My position at Women In Safe Homes brought me to communities all over lower-Southeast Alaska where I spoke with students of all ages. For pre-school through the younger grades I taught personal safety, and in the older grades I talked about domestic and dating violence, date rape, and child abuse.
I had just finished one session, and had about a half-hour to wait. I went to where I had left some supplies, and stood watching the mist floating around the grand totem poles in the courtyard in front of the elementary school. I introduced myself to a gentleman waiting for some information from the superintendent. As we watched the totem poles, and the drenching rains, he told me a little about the history of Hydaburg. A great man, master carver John Wallace, had helped create the park. Upon arriving home in Ketchikan, I got the chance to see the Hydaburg creator's grandson, a carver named Lee Wallace who currently lives in Saxman, Alaska.
We talked about why I was in Hydaburg, what my position was with Women In Safe Homes. He told me that I was, "A medicine woman of the 1990's." I had never thought of myself that exact way before, and asked for clarification. I told him that I was raised Catholic, but as I read about shamanism, that it was hard sometimes to combine my Christian beliefs with what I knew to be true. I told him I have awareness, or basic understanding and various synchronicities happening (the parrot bite incident) happening in my life. He said, "Well, not so much a medicine woman, but a healer." The idea is what struck me. He'd caught on in a half hour of knowing me what my calling was.
He talked a lot about how people need to be positive, and that dwelling on the past won't solve anything. In the past he talked about how the people worked at solving problems, not complaining about them.
Healing involves the same things that our past has taught us. He emphasized how important our roots are... they anchor us, and ground us, help us understand who we are. The young people that are in trouble don't understand who they are. Many people don't see they are a great tree with roots reaching into the past.
For younger generations, perhaps world wide there is a sense of not understanding who "we" are. Not just indigenous peoples, but young people from all cultural groups, and all walks of life. There are many options and fewer guides. Throughout human history, our guides have been the storytellers, the shaman, and priests whose basic function was help people interpret the world around them (nature). The storytellers brought with these stories interpretations on how to be a human being living in this world. As scientific inquiry replaces those who have taught us a sense of morality, of course it seems as if the world is becoming a cold and impersonal place.
The topics changed, and time flew by. I explained a little about my family, and how my ancestors were from the Kuskokwim and Yukon. His wife is an Athabaskan from Chickaloon. He talked about how the Athabaskan are the largest tribe in the world. I wish I remembered more about him, I'd like to talk to him again. That was one of those life altering conversations and I can't even remember his name.

What is prostatitis and what is the cure?
—Who knows?
Dear Who Knows?,
Simply put, prostatitis is inflammation or infection of the prostate gland. A man's prostate (only men have a prostate) is a gland that is connected to the urethra just below the bladder and is about the size of a walnut. It produces and stores some of the fluids that comprise semen. Symptoms of prostatitis include fever, chills, pain in the genital region, frequent urination, and in some cases, painful ejaculation. This disorder is more common in men between the ages of 30 and 50, and can often be caused by a bacterial infection that has spread from the urethra. The infection may or may not be sexually transmitted.
Unfortunately, diagnosing prostatitis can involve a little probing — literally. In order to accurately diagnose prostatitis, the physician examines the prostate by inserting a gloved finger into the rectum. If there is an infection the gland will be tender and enlarged. Urine samples and urethral secretions are then obtained and used to find out the cause(s) of the infection.
Treatment involves taking antibiotics, although the condition may be slow to clear up and tends to recur. If you think you or someone you know might be suffering from prostatitis, consult with a health care provider immediately. Columbia students can call x4-2284 or log-in through Open Communicator to schedule an appointment.Alice!

Karen Brassfield has adapted to and embraced changes in companies, titles and technology through more than 40 years in the banking industry.
Brassfield is the executive vice president and chief banking officer at Silvergate Bank.
She worked at Southern California First National Bank in 1970 at the dawn of the computer age for banking, and when calculators were a breakthrough.
"I was the first female management trainee. That's my claim to fame," Brassfield said.
She then went to work for HomeFed, and left two years later in charge of operations for all of HomeFed.
Brassfield was recruited to work for First National Bank, where she ran operations and worked as the controller, learning bank accounting firsthand from the chief financial officer.
"The secret to success is your network," she said.
Brassfield was laid off 12 years later during the recession in the 1990s and moved to Dallas, where Robert Adelizzi, former president of HomeFed, recruited her to a loan servicing operations manager position.
"I had the good fortune of having a number of good mentors who took an interest in what I could do, and encouraged me to learn as fast as I could," Brassfield said. "I sort of embrace change, and so it's been a good place to be — lots of upward mobility for women, particularly just coming out of the '60s. I'm the '60s generation with Martin Luther King and the sexual revolution and equality. There was a lot of change that happened in the '60s, and I'm a product of that."
She left that job to work for a mortgage company as its chief information officer. When the company went into bankruptcy, Brassfield worked with the representatives from the bankruptcy court to dissolve that business.
"[Changing positions] is something I like to do because it means I'm learning something new," Brassfield said. She said she approaches new titles as projects.
Brassfield's network brought her back to San Diego as the CFO for Fallbrook National Bank, which is now Pacific Western. She worked with the Securities and Exchange Commission to bring the company from a public non-listed bank to a public listed bank. Robert Horsman at San Diego National Bank recruited her about two years later to work as the bank's chief administrative officer. She left that bank in 2006 with a job offer from Alan Lane at Southwest Community Bank. Before she was able to start, Lane told Brassfield the company had been sold and she no longer had the job.
She worked for Silvergate Bank for about six months before Adelizzi recruited her again for a position as chief information officer at the Corky McMillin Companies.
"I saw an article one day in 2008 that Alan Lane was going to work for Silvergate Bank, so I called Alan up and said, 'Now's the chance for you and I to finally work together,'" Brassfield said.
Three years ago, Silvergate Bank was an industrial loan chartered thrift. It is now a business commercial bank offering a full range of business accounts and services, she said.
"That's a huge change. Every form, every product in the bank had to change. … All of the employees had to be retrained. It was the most change I have ever effected in one 12-month period of time," Brassfield said.
Brassfield plans to retire at the end of next year, move to Denver, and go hiking and skiing.

Hello :)
Saturday, April 13, 2013
Well, today is my Birthday. I am feeling pretty good. I am actually feeling better than I have for many many birthdays.
- I am healthy. I have now been just under my goal weight for 49 days straight.
I have a wonderful man in my life. I am so very lucky to have him. He was going to go work on the acreage today but came down stairs a bit ago and said he is planning on kidnapping me for the day, if that is OK. He wants to take the Harley out.
I think that is super sweet. I mentioned yesterday that I just want to go to Cracker Barrel, maybe Sunday. I splurged twice this week on carrot cake. YUMMMMM. I felt kind of guilty the first time but told myself to enjoy it the second.
I am thinking back to when I had my Aspen girl. I remember being so grateful that April to have her on my Birthday. She ended out passing in May. That was a HUGE gift. She was a HUGE gift I will treasure for the rest of my life. Yep, that big of an impact. Crazy huh?!?
She somehow was always there for me. She helped me realize I am strong. I can be the type of person I want to me.
It was nice waking up this morning to my routine of getting on the treadmill. I of course got on my work and personal computers first and had a coffee. But as I was stepping on the treadmill (for just 2 miles so far) I thought, this is good. This is you.
Utah - My boy is hanging in there. Tuesday will be 1 month since the last seizure. That is HUGE. I am hoping we can stick with this and lower his dosage of epilepsy meds at some point. He is a bit more drowsy than I would like him to be. I hate to say, his appetite has been up and down and he has had a bit of an upset stomach. I considered taking him to the vet today. I am grateful for no seizures.
I am very grateful for you. I appreciate you being there for me, for being friends.
I feel like I may be finally starting to step up to where I should be with my career. I am much less lazy than I used to be. That is real nice. Sounds odd but for years and years I thought of myself as lazy because I was. It simply was me.
I am more active now in so many ways. I enjoy more doing than just sitting. I enjoy both now. I should mention, it was an up and down week, a bit. I worried about Utah having another seizure. I worried I would be over my weight this week. Things slowed for a short bit at work and I seem to struggle with that. I think it is the feeling of not being needed. I really don't like that.
I think Aspen and Utah may help me to feel needed in a way. Not sure that is a good thing but it is the way it is. No biggie. Aspen needed and Utah needs love and care. I am good at giving that.
Well, let's see. I have a work conf call at 9:00, yes on Saturday. I may skip the 4:00 if we do end out taking the Harley out. Then tomorrow I should be fully focused on taking a practice test for my PMP certification. I only took part last weekend. I did not accomplish as much as I wanted. I did not do great. I am more hopeful for this weekend. I lose access to the coursework on Wednesday I think.
Anyway, that is what is going on in my head today.
I did take the pups for a quick 10 minute walk too. It was nice to get Utah out in the fresh air for a bit.
Thanks again for being there. HUGS 2U.

I use workout gloves at the moment, but I think Nashbar sells pearl izumi gloves for like 15 bucks that usually retail for 30. They're just more padded. If I don't use gloves my hands get sore after about 10 miles. Maybe I'm just a wimp.
I used to wear gloves back when I wanted to be taken seriously. Now I don't give a damn.
Don't even wear them to race XC.

Just got my third pair of gloves in the past two years. Worn them out. Better for sweat and nose wipe. My last "accident" I was riding with a stiff tailwind, flying under a bridge on SART when two young men pushed a shopping cart in front of me. Man, my disc brakes are good. I slowed mostly until I hit it dead center. It was too quick to try to dodge it and the alternative was to dive off the side and down into the concrete river. So at the speed I was going I flew off my bike, did the Superman ( arm out front prone ) flew over the shopping cart (barely) and fell straight down about five feet. Its been a month and the two circular pads below my thumbs are still sore. the gell in my gloves blew out onto the cement.There is no drop and roll for this. At least this time my face didn't do the rebound slam. By the way when I jumped up and ran after those little punks they ran like little girls. I picked up and went on....Hands still hurt but no rash and cuts so the gloves were great.
Just had a crash on Tuesday. Any injuries from it gloves wouldn't have helped.
I don't like the tan lines you get from wearing gloves.
I wear gloves. I've always worn gloves. For 44 years of riding bikes I've worn gloves and I'm going to keep wearing gloves.
So nuts to all you weirdos that don't wear gloves!!
I like to be a minimalist but since yesterday's 30mile ride with a beet red palm, I'm picking up a padded pair.
No gloves while training because I got tired of saying no, I don't play golf.
Gloves while racing or riding Ina group I am not familiar with.
No slipping without gloves due to sweat and I live in the tropics. I ride good tape.
It's funny how much contradiction occurs among different posts (and among different topics) just due to cyclists' various environments. In a past thread some folks were saying that on the hottest days of summer they still wear base layers. And elsewhere folks that were saying they never notice the extra upper body layer that bibs contribute even in the summer. Here folks are saying gloves are too hot to tolerate. There's no truth but what works for you.

I thought gloves were a Fred accoutrement, like fanny packs.
I wear gloves when racing or if I know roads will be terrible otherwise no gloves.

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin Wows CPAC 2012; Proved Her Conservative Relevancy
Posted on 02/11/2012 3:53:58 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
click here to read article
I've always thought Stalin is credited for that one.
Some liberal, huh?
Obviously you did not watch the speech, or you are brain dead.
One or the other, your future posts will indicate.
Well history has a way of correcting that, if they wont count the ballots, they may end up counting the bullets.
"I've always thought Stalin is credited for that one."
Isn't the Soviet Union the model for the liberal utopia?
Oh hummm, considering what is running now, she couldn't be any worse. I liked her when she came to FL in 08', she has fire in her belly, sorry to say a lot more than any of the others. I'd still backer her, why not, read my tag line.
Only 3408 votes were cast of what they said was 10,000 attending. Just about as sorry a bunch as the general electorate.
And some call it a convention of conservative "activists."
I saw the whole speech, live, on Sun News in Canada! They had wall to wall coverage of CPAC.....nice change for Canada.
Sun News is still under a year old. Canada's new conservative news channel. Far more conservative than FOX.

Global energy and materials stocks were flat to down during the quarter as prices for oil and other commodities were broadly pressured by a continued oversupply in the global market, as well as expectations for softer global demand, particularly from China. Global real estate stocks produced solid results in the fourth quarter, but underlying country returns were mixed. U.S. real estate stocks finished higher and outperformed the broad U.S. equities market. While U.S. economic growth remained far from robust, employment continued to recover, and we have begun to see small improvements in wage growth and household formation. Among the larger markets outside the U.S., Japan produced modestly positive returns, while Hong Kong and the United Kingdom both lost ground.
The Real Assets Fund returned 1.56% in the quarter compared with 5.15% for the MSCI All Country World Index and −2.95% for the Lipper Specialty/Miscellaneous Funds Average. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2015, the fund returned −14.69% versus −1.84% for the MSCI All Country World Index and −12.64% for the Lipper Specialty/Miscellaneous Funds Average. The fund's average annual total returns were −14.69%, −3.83%, and 0.08% for the 1-, 5-, and Since Inception (07/28/2010) periods, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. The fund's expense ratio was 0.83% as of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Benchmark Definitions
We are underweight natural resources stocks relative to its benchmark. We continue to believe that the market is in the initial years of a secular downcycle in commodities. We believe the market is approaching a new long-term average for the price of oil in the range of $40 to $65 per barrel despite the higher price levels that many market participants continue to expect. Other commodities continue to struggle with oversupply, slack demand growth, and a strong U.S. dollar. We are overweight to U.S. and global real estate stocks given solid fundamentals, a favorable supply/demand dynamic, and expectations for less interest rate pressure than previously expected in the U.S. and abroad. We are aware of the potential for near-term cyclical dislocations to create opportunities to buy high-quality stocks at favorable valuations.
Although cheaper energy benefits U.S. consumers' budgets and energy-intensive manufacturers, it challenges the stocks of energy producers and, in particular, energy service companies. Lackluster economic growth outside the U.S., particularly in China, and a stronger U.S. dollar spell continued trouble for a wide range of commodities, including industrial metals and energy. We expect operating fundamentals in the real estate sector to remain solid over the near term in most markets due to the favorable supply/demand imbalance. But we note that with supply pipelines increasing, we inch closer to a tipping point if demand wanes. We will also keep a close eye on credit markets where investors have been demanding higher yields from riskier assets over the past few months. While we remain alert to potential risks, we are comforted that interest rates may remain relatively low, providing support to real estate values for some time to come.

Avatar's promised Pandorapedia still hasn't been released to the general public, but French TV has Sigourney Weaver giving what looks like a pretty comprehensive introduction to life on the alien moon — perhaps for tourists or an Animal Planet special.
We get familiar footage of the thanator super-predators and the pterodactyl-like banshees, but also glimpses of some of the other flora and fauna. These range from the apparently inoffensive bio-luminescent wood-sprites to the dire horse, not to mention the Leonopterix, which is a flying creature even higher up on the food chain than the banshees.
A final interesting factoid: All of the major critters on Pandora, both on land and in the air, are hexapods, i.e. they have six limbs. Why? 'Cause it's an alien world, that's why. In any case, the visuals, as always, are worth checking out.

Guy asks Paizo to take their time off and write historically correct description of armor types instead of writing awesome adventures or mythic rules or ultimate campaign.
No go here.
Guy asks no such thing he simply states
"I just wanna know why they changed the description from 3e" that's it.
He also said "Heck, I don't even ask that they do some basic research on real-world armour."
And i also belief that some posters have now genuinely answered his question.
So all is good again.
I'm sorry, but if someone seriously wants the rules to give different prices for all kinds of rare materials and their combinations together with a good description for each, then you need an entire book just to describe the Breastplate.
What's basically been said here is: The rules cover the "important" game mechanics for the breastplate. How you fluff it and describe it actually looking on you, is totally up to you and your GM. You like the 3.5 description better? Go for it.
And well, if you want some rare gauntlets to go with it, you'll have to wing it in regards to the price, the rules simply can't cover everything.
I don't disagree with you, i just disagree with responses like "If this bugs you, I suggest to stop reading the book right now" and "Why does this even matter?" Well it obviously matters to the original poster. If there are like minded individuals to ArmoredSaint then hell get the discussion he wanted and if there arn't then he wont get any posts.
What he shouldn't have gotten are people telling him to what matters and to stop reading etc.
Look guys - people have different preferences in what they want out of their games. Maybe ArmoredSaint likes a certain level of detail in his games. Maybe more then just the "mechanical effects" matter to him, maybe in his games he wants to buy gloves made from the finest basilisk hide, with bloodstones studded on each knuckle, and its important to him that that is accurately reflected on the price even though there wont be a single mechanical benefit what so ever. Or maybe simply put he noticed something and got curios.
So your priorities in what you want from a game session are different then his. So their different fine; but their not right while his are wrong.
So dude relax their are all kinds of hobbyists out there, and if that bugs you, you might as well leave the hobby since there are all kinds of playing styles and preferences which might give you a hemorrhage
Actualy I have found the GNS very useful in running a gaming group. Different players might not be completely one or the other, but in my experience they do have preferences, and will enjoy a certain style of play more then the other. As such if let's say this weekend were playing a indie game such as houses of the blooded I will warn player a and experience has shown that the game will be better because of it. Similarly if were pathfinding next week I will warn player b, and the game will be better because of it.

Student Food Allergies Change Classroom Policies By Sean Crawford • Mar 6, 2014 flickr/stevendepolo About one-third of teachers are keeping food out of their classrooms to avoid problems with students who suffer from allergies and other health issues. Horace Mann, a Springfield based insurance company, conducted a nationwide survey of educators that includes questions about food policies. The survey shows in an average elementary school classroom with about 24 students, teachers say they have 1 to 2 students with food allergies.

BLM Seeks Public Comment on Livestock Trailing Proposal
The public comment period for Environmental Assessment
DOI-BLM-UT-Y010-2014-0237-EA on the Livestock Trailing Proposalcloses August 21, 2015
Written comments will be accepted by letter or email until August 21, 2015. Please note that the most useful comments are those that contain new technical or scientific information relevant to the proposed action. Comments should be as specific as possible. Comments which contain only opinions or preferences will not receive a formal response but may be considered in the BLM decision-making process. Please reference "Moab Field Office Livestock Trailing Permits EA" when submitting comments.
Bureau of Land ManagementMoab Field OfficeAttn: Moab Field Office Livestock Trailing Permits82 East DogwoodMoab, Utah 84532
Appendix A - Interdisciplinary Team Checklist
Appendix B - Maps
A total of 84 allotments occur within the boundaries of the Moab Field Office. Of these allotments, 74 are administered by the Moab FO, four are administered by the Vernal Field Office, and six are administered by the Grand Junction, Colorado, Field Office. Seventy-seven of the allotments are available for use by domestic livestock, and seven allotments were made unavailable for grazing by domestic livestock in 1995 and 1996. These seven allotments were made unavailable for the following reasons: enhancement of wildlife habitat, improvement of riparian vegetation, watershed benefits, and recreation values.
Of the lands within grazing allotments, 1,794,798 acres (77 percent) are BLM lands within the State of Utah; 375,299 acres (16 percent) are State of Utah lands; 83,640 acres (four percent) are private; 1,632 acres (less than one percent) are military; 1,146 acres (less than one percent) are United States Forest Service lands; and 73,395 acres (three percent) occur within the State of Colorado.
Of the 77 allotments that are permitted for use by domestic livestock, 64 allotments are grazed by cattle, three are grazed by cattle and horses, two are grazed by cattle and sheep, six are grazed by sheep, one is grazed by sheep and horses, and one is grazed by horses. Twenty-five (25) of the permitted allotments have allotment management plans (AMPs), while the remaining 52 allotments do not. Livestock use of these allotments, as well as those managed through AMPs, is authorized through grazing permits which contain terms and conditions controlling the numbers, timing, and duration of use as wells as other restrictions to livestock use. Allotment Management Plan (AMP) have been (and will be) developed where appropriate, since all allotments do not need to have AMPs. Please refer to the Analysis of Management Situation prepared for the Moab RMP (2004). Authorized livestock use is typically expressed in animal unit months (AUMs), which is the amount of forage necessary for the sustenance of one cow, one horse, or five sheep for a period of one month. A total of 107,931 animal unit months (AUMs) are currently authorized (active) within boundaries of the Moab Field Office. Of the total authorized AUMs, 87,097 (81 percent) are used by cattle, 18,466 (17 percent) are used by sheep, and 485 (less than one percent) are used by horses. 1,883 AUMs (two percent) are, through agreement with the permittee(s), held inactive due to conservation purposes. An additional 25,972 AUMs are allowed through exchange of use (other ownership).
The BLM has developed Fundamentals of Rangeland Health and their companion rules--Standards for Rangeland Health and Guidelines for Grazing Management and they are posted on the Utah BLM website.

Ashton Perritt spent last weekend 40 miles off the Florida coast as part of a fishing expedition with friends.
He claims to have the sunburn to prove it.
The former two-sport star at Whiteland Community High School needed a much-deserved hiatus from all things baseball, even if only for a few days.
Drafted in the 17th round of the MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves on June 7, Perritt, who recently wrapped up his junior season at Liberty University, had been given much to mull over.
The hard-throwing relief pitcher figured he would hear his name called the previous day when Rounds 3-10 were being conducted.
He didn't. The fallout included Perritt giving a polite "Thanks, but no thanks" to the contractual terms later offered by representatives of the Pittsburgh Pirates (Round 11), Colorado Rockies (13) and Anaheim Angels (15).
Then, without warning, the Braves called.
What makes Atlanta so intriguing is the Liberty campus, located in Lynchburg, Virginia, is 450 miles northeast of Turner Field where the parent club plays home games.
Moreover, the franchise's Rookie League affiliate is the Danville (Virginia) Braves 70 miles to the south.
Better yet, Perritt claims Calvin Falwell Field, 10,000-seat home of Lynchburg Hillcats of Advanced Class A, is no more than a 10-minute drive from his off-campus residence.
"It came by surprise because normally they call you (before selecting). Atlanta didn't call me. They called me afterward, and my phone started ringing off the hook with congratulations and stuff like that," Perritt said.
"I've been a Braves fan probably since the beginning of college. It seems like they have good class, good character and a huge fan base. And they win games, and that doesn't hurt."
Liberty finished with a 41-18 record this spring, including a 23-3 ledger in the Big South Conference. The Flames made it to the Charlottesville (Virginia) Regional, bowing out with a 5-2 loss to Bucknell.
Perritt started in center field and batted leadoff against the Bison, going 2 for 4 at the plate with a run scored.
An outfielder when not pitching, Perritt started all 58 games he played, batting .279 with 12 doubles, two triples and a pair of home runs. He also led the Flames in stolen bases against league opponents with seven.
Perritt also posted a 1-2 mark with a 1.52 ERA as Liberty's closer. He struck out 28 batters and walked five in 29 2/3 innings of work for a team-leading 12 saves.
Three of the saves came in conference where Perritt's ERA was 0.87.
"Ashton was excellent on the mound all year for us. He started off slowly offensively, but started swinging the bat well the latter part of the year," Liberty coach Jim Toman said.
"I think he will be really good off the mound when he decides just to pitch. Ashton was a big reason we were in our second-straight NCAA regional. We hope he will return for his senior year, but I will give him my blessings in any decision he makes."
Perritt was the 517th selection overall at the 2014 MLB Draft. He was chosen only eight spots after Liberty teammate Ryan Seiz, a second baseman selected by the Angels.
Two more Flames players, first baseman/catcher Alex Close (Kansas City Royals) and pitcher Adam Parks (Texas Rangers), were taken in the 27th and 33rd rounds, respectively.
Late Sunday Perritt completed his tiring drive from Florida to Cotuit, Mass., home of the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.
Already six games into their regular-season schedule, the Kettleers have Perritt signed to a temporary contract. He'll be in uniform at tonight's game at the Bourne Braves and might see game action.
Perritt has until July 18 to decide whether he wants to sign with the Atlanta organization and forgo his final season at Liberty. Or he can return to Toman's program in an effort to attempt to improve his draft standing for the 2015 MLB Draft.
"It's a good position to be in. If I don't go, I get to go back to a school I love and be a Flame for one more year," Perritt said. "It's the Braves, though, so it's win-win either way."
