It took until Mark McCauley's first day on the job as Clark County's interim county administrator until he found out how much he'd be getting paid in the role.
Commissioners unanimously agreed to a $145,000 per year salary for McCauley during their Wednesday board time meeting.
In response to the offer, McCauley — who was already working as the administrator in the meeting — said he would accept.
McCauley was tapped for the job by commissioners on Aug. 21, but the contract makes official the changing of the guard from former administrator Bill Barron, whose final day was Sept. 10.
Steve Stuart, chairman of the commissioners, said the salary is similar to that of former Deputy County Administrator Glenn Olson, but less than what Barron made. Barron was paid $174,252 per year.
McCauley was earning $130,332 per year as the head of general services.
McCauley's interim status will last until at least November 2014 when voters will first have the chance to vote on a new county charter drafted by a board of 15 elected freeholders. Because the freeholders could choose to move to a model of government that elects a county executive, the county administrator role may become defunct. Due to that uncertainty, commissioners choose to go with an extended interim administrator rather than recruit for a long-term replacement.
McCauley's background
McCauley is a certified public accountant and retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who has been with Clark County since 2001. He began his career with the county as finance manager of public works and was promoted to director of general services in 2006.
He holds bachelor's degrees in business administration and accounting from Washington State University and a master's degree in business administration from Syracuse University.
As director of general services, McCauley oversees 133 staff members who work across a variety of county departments, including purchasing, technology, telecommunications, facilities management and risk management.
Commissioners have made it clear that McCauley will have the option to return to his job after his tenure as interim administrator ends.

I bought a used Major Jake around Christmas 2008. Components had taken a little bit of a beating from the previous cyclocross season, but the frame was sound. I'm not the most mechanically talented guy, so took it to a LBS that knows cross bikes and had them adjust and replace a few things (pedals, cables, etc). Before I took it in, the bike had a terrible brake shudder problem. I knew this when I bought it, but figured a proper adjustment would fix it.
I've since had the brakes adjusted a couple of times, and while it's somewhat improved, the shudder problem remains. I have read that this can happen more frequently with carbon forks because of flexing, but not sure if that's accurate. I have less of a problem in the rain than when it's dry. If the brakes are indeed generating too much power, it makes sense that having them and the rims wet would solve the problem. However, since it doesn't rain 100% of the time where I live, I think I need a more permanent solution.
The other factor is that I'm paranoid about carbon in general. I'm also a rower, and have seen carbon oars brake on me and other rowers. Rational or not, I would be more comfortable with something other than carbon.
The question is, would switching to a steel fork help my brake shudder problem? If it's likely to do so, I think I would go that route, as it would help put my mind at ease about the carbon failure issue as well.
Any suggestions for steel forks? Would the one that comes stock on the Jake work? Do they sell that separately?
Oh, and I ride the bike on trails and roads, but the primary reason for purchasing it was to race cross this autumn. I did some beginner racing last year on a mountain bike and decided to step up to this bike for '09.

23 November 2009
Heavy rain affected many parts of north-west Britain during 18, 19 and 20 November 2009, and this rain led to widespread flooding. This was caused by an Atlantic weather front becoming almost stationary across Northern Ireland, Cumbria and south-west Scotland.
This front and the south-westerly winds associated with it drew very warm, moisture laden air northwards from the Azores region. The rain was intensified by the mountainous terrain of Cumbria and southwest Scotland resulting in record rainfall totals.
In Cumbria, 372.4 mm of rain fell at Seathwaite and 361.4 mm of rain at Honister between 0800 on Wednesday 18 November and 0400 on Friday 20 November. Provisionally, the 24-hour total at Seathwaite (ending 0045 on Friday 20 November) of 314.4 mm is a UK record for a single location in any given 24-hour period.

The most widespread impacts were in Cumbria, where more than 1,300 homes were affected by flooding, and many more were left without power and water. A number of bridges were swept away and others were closed pending inspection by structural engineers. There was severe travel disruption on both roads and railways. The worst affected town was Cockermouth where water levels reached 2.5 m.
Parts of Scotland were also badly affected with some property flooding and widespread travel disruption in Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders.
There was also some flooding in parts of north Wales, with travel disruption.
On Monday 16 November we issued an Advisory of severe weather in western Britain for Thursday 19 November, and this was upgraded to an Early warning of severe weather on Tuesday 17 November for parts of north-west England and south-west Scotland. After discussion with the Environment Agency, SEPA and the Flood Forecasting Centre this was upgraded again to an Early warning of Extreme weather in Cumbria and south-west Scotland on Wednesday 18 November. Throughout the week our Public Weather Service advisors talked to emergency responders about the upcoming heavy rain, helping them to put emergency procedures into place to prepare for the floods. The advisors were in constant contact with responders during and after the flood, as more rain was forecast. We also kept the Cabinet Office and senior government officials briefed on the situation.
The unsettled weather is continuing, so there is more rain forecast for many parts of the United Kingdom. More warnings have been issued, and we will continue to ensure the United Kingdom is as prepared as it can be for any further impacts.
Please note that all values and statements are provisional and subject to change.

This will level you up and make you stronger, making the game much easier. Once a high enough level you can start a second story playthrough and go straight for Purewal Memorial Cup & Alpha Vs. Omega this means consuming no Meat, dairy or alcohol & keeping Denyce with you until Case 7-2. See the individual Achievements for further detail. Once you have that done you can start partial playthroughs to get any miscellaneous story or survivor related achievements you missed.
Step 2: Sandbox
This is where you'll want to get you're PP sticker achievements as there is no time limit. You can also go for any miscellaneous zombie or photo related achievements here.

However there are quite a few combo cards hidden in fortune city that will help you get this achievement quicker. the video below shows you the locations of each one.
Hands of Doom 20
Unlock all skill moves.
You unlock skills through leveling up, you will unlock all skills by level 50
We Have a Winner! 20
Play a carney game and win.
The carney games are at the center of the Uranus zone, pay to play one of the games & take out all targets with the weapons provided & you will win the game.
Best of Friends 20
Defeat 5 psychopaths in co-op.
Psychopaths are the human enemies you get missions for in story mode & in sandbox you come across them randomly. Simply defeat 5 Psychopaths in one sitting, it is easier in story mode. just complete missions until you kill five. It can be done in sandbox, Just free roam to find them.
Safety Check: Failed 20
Use the amusement park rides to kill 10 zombies at once.
Go to the Uranus zone & Go to the UFO crash ride, remove all the barriers around it & then go to the nearby rocket kiosk "Rockets Red" just past the clown car next to the swinging ship & get some firecrackers throw them around the UFO crash to attract the zombies when you can see a horde around it look to the right of the ride to see some railing and a podium this is where you launch the ride. run to the podium and activate the ride this should kill more than 10 zombies
Cramped Quarters 20
Get 8 survivors into a vehicle.
- Get leadership magazine from rag mags 2nd floor royal flush plaza
- Carry health to heal survivors
- Try not to hit the survivors they may defect
- Don't just run ahead the survivors can get constantly bitten by a zombie & loose most of their health
- Give the survivors weapons, they don't take combo weapons though
If you are doing story mission, when you go to the safehouse leave the survivors in the bathroom of the royal flush or the maintenance room outside of the saferoom.
You can do this with the first 8 survivors
First get Denyce
Then go kill Ted, then you must kill or tame snowflake, if you choose to tame snowflake you must leave Denyce in the bathroom and take snowflake back to the saferoom as tigers cant go in cars.
Then once you are back in the royal flush after dealing with snowflake Lashwandra & Gordan will be there save them too
Then go back to the Yucatan and save Lenny, he is in the back room behind the help desk in the Yucatan.
Next mission should be "Welcome to the Family" with Jack and Kenneth
And then "Lush-ous Lady" with Kristin.
Finally you can save Randolph in the "Art appreciation" mission
The location of the clown car for me was in the Uranus zone next to the Snack kiosk. For some it may be on the silver strip next to the wedding chapel. get all 8 survivors in the car and net the achievement
Party Time 20
Get a survivor drunk.
To get a survivor drunk you have to give them 3 alcohol, For example with Denyce the first survivor rescue her and get her to join you, then go through to the slot ranch and go to the bar and give her three Alcoholic drinks (Beer, wine, whiskey, vodka) This will make her throw up
Puking Rally 20
Have a zombie slip in a puddle of vomit.
Find 3 alcohol (Beer, wine, vodka, cocktail, whiskey) easily found in any of the casino's in the bar area. Drink 2 walk up to a large group of zombie & drink the third, you will throw up and and the group of zombies will slip in the vomit
Frank West: Cross Dresser 20
Dress up completely in women's clothing.
To do this you will need to dress frank in a women's Dress, shoes & hat. It is easy to get this in the Palisades mall as you come in from the Atlantica go up the escalator. Go into the shop "Que's Hats" & put on the ladies Hat, then go next door to "Brand New U" & put on women's dress shoes & a summer dress.
Purewal Memorial Cup 20
Don't consume any meat, dairy or alcohol until the military arrives.
NOTE: for some this has been glitchy to make sure that this doesn't happen to you play through the campaign in single player and do not go into sandbox while you are playing through the game for this achievement as some have reported drinking in sandbox has affected the achievement & co-op partners drinking alcohol has cost them the achievement
For this achievement orange juice is your best friend. you have to play though the campaign as you need the cut scene to appear at the end on the first 72 hours for the achievement to pop.
- Always carry at least 4 orange juice, ideally half your inventory should be health
- Be a high level, the more inventory slots the easier this is
- Wear the ninja costume, it allows you to move through zombies with stealth
- You can consume any juice so have some quick step/ painkiller especially during the fight with the twins
- Only consume orange juice, fruit, soda & snacks nothing else
You will get the achievement when the military arrive in case 7-1
Tiger Tamer 20
Have Snowflake attack and damage a psychopath.
To get this out of the way easily in Story Mode wait of taming snowflake until you get the message "People like us" in fortune park , then tame snowflake using the method in "Raw Emotion" and take him with you to go fight the psychopath.
Alpha Vs. Omega 20
Have Denyce attack and damage Sgt Boykin.
Denyce is the first survivor you encounter, you have to keep her with you for the campaign until Case 7-2 when you fight Sgt Boykin.
Try to be a High level when you do this & always carry lots of health. You should get the leadership magazine from Rag mags on the second floor of the Royal slush plaza. Give Denyce the LMG, it is found in the Yucatan casino in the elevated grassy area across from the tiger enclosure & next to the restaurant
Leave her outside of the area when you fight Psychopaths during story (Twins case 5-2). When you have to go to the roof of the fortune city hotel to fight TK leave her in the Royal flush plaza bathroom. To get to the mission done quickly mix 2 Quicksteps beforehand (wine + wine or coffee + coffee creamer) try to beat TK quickly, use the protoman arm cannon against the helicopter if you have it unlocked as it is very effective. Once TK is defeated you will be teleported to the safehouse, head out to the royal flush & heal Denyce.
It will makes things easier if you don't fight many Psychopaths during this run-through. Try not to hit Denyce much either as she may defect. Save often so if she does die you can reload the save.

I read that they don't. Maybe someone with some actual co-op experience can verify.

New Hotness Achievement
You can add this video I made to the achievement if you want. It shows where both weapons are to make a new combo weapon and what they are.
Check out my YouTube channel. I do achievement guides and many other things gaming related.

So in order to make this side-mission to appear you need to get rid of a few survivors/psychopaths.

A better way for Mixed Messages is right next to the Souvenirs shop, with the Alien Probes in Uranus Zone.
Next to the kiosk is a "Whack-a-mole" game. Just grab a couple of Alien Probes and drop them in the bottom left, just next to the barrier. Then kill a few zombies behind the barrier and step back. Pull up your camera and take picture, getting a couple of molemen (for the Outtake), the Alien Probes, a few zombies and the dead ones in the frame and you'll unlock the achievement.
EDIT: The game is called Molemen From Uranus.

FYI, if you don't turn the power on in the Yucatan and continue the story into Overtime Mode, the power is turned on automatically. Just walk in and ding, achievement.

I see you've included my suggestion, albeit changed slightly. I didn't notice the alien heads, so now people have many ways of unlocking that achievement.
Also, I'd like to express my gratitude for the guide, it looks very good.

Thank you for the guide. I was wondering what the "Team Player" Achieve was and how to get it.
Good thing I had the save point exactly when you get the mission. Right now im just waiting for the snake in the grass. Also you can you still get the scoop even if you fail all the cases

Hey Blobby, I was running through my playthrough for Alpha vs. Omega and I think I found out the fastest way to do it so far for those who have already completed a whole playthrough including overtime.
Your idea of the quickstep works really well and when combined with the Protoman Megabuster you can shoot down the helicopter with about 10 shots and finish that whole section in a minute tops. Just thought you can add that for those who didn't think about it. I was surprised myself.

Just for the record: If you have a DR2 save on your hdd and that save has unlocked the cars from the game (for example orange car and suv) you automaticly unlock the orange car and the suv by default in DR2: OTR. I found that out last week by mistake. I only hade ~ 30.000$ when i did.

When you go for Alpha Vs. Omega don't be afraid to have her fight the psychopaths with you, shes damn good with either the six shooter or the assault rifle. She actually cut my time beating them in half or more. The end fight with Sgt. Boykin was pretty easy with her help.
If its true that what you dont know cant hurt you, then you must be practically invincible!

Casio Exilim EX-S600 review
Casio makes great ultra thin cameras but that's probably their only selling point. The image quality on this casio is OK depends where you are taking the picture, really can't expect much from this little thing, but it did improved from my previous casio a bit. However, the battery life is still amazing, super long.
In general, if you need an easy-to-carry camera, this will suit you well because of its super thin and small compact size. Not recommended for good image quality seekers.
Still has the same flash light warm up problem like my old casio ex z-40.

Apple reported that NBC was insisting it raise the price of some downloads on NBC shows to US$4.99 from the $1.99 iTunes charges for all programs. NBC denied this, saying that the disagreement was over the wholesale price that Apple was charging, not the retail price. NBC wanted a better wholesale price for its heavily downloaded shows, like The Office.
However, NBC had already inked a deal to sell its shows via Amazon's Unbox service at the same $1.99 price tag, reports [url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/09/20/nbc_universal_unveils_nbc_direct_video_download_service_after_itunes_breakup/]The Register[/url]. And the company has launched its own video download service.
Yesterday Jeff Gaspin, the president of the NBC Universal Television Group, told the [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/20/business/media/20nbc.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1190327483-sJNN8vIO8fhCPybyZibTYw]New York Times[/url] that "piracy was and is our No. 1 priority" in regards to the Apple negotiations. He said that the music industry had been "devastated" by the free exchange of music, much of it facilitated by iTunes.
However, the general consensus seems to be that NBC is probably making a big mistake. Chris Crotty, an analyst for iSuppli, an independent firm that specializes in analysis of new electronic media, told the Times that the NBC move is "a stretch." He says consumers have shown they're happy with the iTunes service and that it would not be attractive to consumers to have to have to visit a number of services to find the programs they want to download.
"It's not just a shift from a supermarket to a mom-and-pop story, it's a shift to one store that only sells bread, another store that only sells dairy products," Crotty says. "The consumers have decided they want to get their content from iTunes."
What's more, as The Register points out, NBC's video download service is nothing to get excited about. "You can't view these videos on more than one Windows PC [they're not Mac compatible, though that's supposedly in the works]," notes The Register. "They're riddled with commercials you can't skip. And they self-destruct after seven days."
[url=http://www.mediainfocenter.org/story.asp?story_id=109944331]CNET[/url] had this to say: "the risks involved with bucking Apple are great. Apple has sold more than 100 million iPods. The iPod makes up more than 70 percent of the overall mobile player market. How long can NBC Universal go without access to iPod owners? Even with the company's other distributors, such as AOL and its soon-to-launch Hulu site, which NBC Universal built in partnership with News Corp, Apple still represents one of Internet's largest video distributors."
A gedblog article has this to say: "Never mind the fact that the iTunes single-handedly prevented NBC from canceling The Office in the first place, or that you can TiVo these shows for free now, or even that higher-quality versions of all of these shows are available hours (not days) after they are aired via bit torrent."
In a PC World [url=http://blogs.pcworld.com/digitalworld/archives/2007/08/nbcapple_stando.html]blog[/url], Cathy Lu wrote: "If they [Apple] were to cave to NBC, then the floodgates would open, and every network would probably start drooling over the thought of upping their prices."

Recently two of TEAM.Water.org's active members, LB Hetherington and Cristiano Bonino of Punto Tours, road the beautiful Majorca, Spain. Together they logged 400 miles in less than seven days at an elevation of 30K feet on the Mediterranean island. While this may seem daunting to some, according to LB, "The riding on this tour was spectacular. Mountains surrounded by clear blue waters in 70 degree weather kept me engaged and moving. Cristiano was a wonderful tour guide and the ride was one of the best I've done in my 40 years of cycling."
As the two rode they shared stories about their lives and their passion for helping to solve the global water crisis. Cristiano, an Italian cyclist of more than 15 years, talked about the times he cycled and donated $1 to Water.org for every bottle of water he drank en route. And LB shared his support of Water.org because for him, giving people access to safe water is a cause he supports whole-heartedly.
The guys look forward to another ride tour through Majorca. Punto Tours has already agreed to give a percentage of the tour fees to Water.org. LB and Cristiano believe this once-in-a-lifetime ride experience will not only change the lives of the riders, but will also change the lives of those in need of safe water. Stay tuned to the TEAM.Water.org newsletter for details about the next potential ride through Majorca, Spain with Punto Tours to support Water.org.

Warm Audio are a relatively new Texas-based company who have set out to produce a world-class preamp for rather less than a world-class price.
They've based their debut product, the WA12, on the popular old API 312 preamp design — in fact, they feel that it's close enough to the original that on their web site they're able to call it a 312 'clone'. As with others who've produced 312-inspired preamps (BAE and Classic API, for example), it's not 100 percent accurate if assessed as a clone, simply because many of the original parts — the op-amps and transformers used in the original 312 design — are no longer available. However, Warm have employed suitable high-quality replacements, including custom-wound Cinemag input and output balancing transformers, which are similar to those used in many more expensive products.
Warm Audio's Bryce Young says that he used to charge $1650 for two channels of this circuit, but that with the WA12 he aimed to disprove the "glass ceiling theory that one must spend $1000+ to get a world-class preamp." Where once there may have been such a ceiling, I'm not so sure there is one today, because I could name quite a few good preamps that are available for less that that figure. An obvious point of comparison would be the Golden Age Project Pre73 (a Neve 1073 preamp clone), the basic version of which is slightly cheaper here in the UK — but by the time you've gone for the Carnhill transformer option on that, the prices are broadly similar. The two classic designs offer rather different sounds, though, and there are few preamps in this price range that can offer the same 71dB of gain as the WA12.
The WA12 has most of the features you'd hope to find: there's a high-impedance (2MΩ) instrument input on the front panel, a polarity-invert button (which, commendably, has not been incorrectly labelled 'phase'!) and 48V phantom power, which is switchable from the front panel. The gain control is stepped, which aids recall of settings, but to keep costs down this is actually a variable pot, rather than switched resistors. There's also an intriguing 'Tone' button, which, it turns out, switches the input impedance between 600Ω and 150Ω. Using that button also results in a slight level change, which makes direct comparison between the two settings tricky, but in my tests there was certainly a perceptible tonal change when it was used with a Shure SM57 (dynamic mics, including passive ribbon models, seem to be much more sensitive to changes in impedance than condenser and other active designs).
The price/performance ratio of the WA12, then, is impressive and although the price is reflected in some of the build details — the no-frills metal enclosure, and the external in-line AC power supply, for example — I could detect no compromise in the areas that count. The components used in the signal path are all of high quality, and the expertise that has gone into developing and laying out the circuitry is evident: there's no sign of any corners having been cut here. Despite my comments on the enclosure, I have to admit that it's solidly constructed, and that the bright (garish?) orange and black paint job is of decent quality.
When used for modest amounts of gain, the difference in sound between preamps is always small in relation to the rest of the signal chain, but there is a difference, and to my ears the WA12 strays further from the norm than most preamps do. I'd describe the sound of this preamp as solid, thick and rich, with a tightness at the bottom end combined with a gentle softening of higher frequencies, resulting in an identifiably 'vintage' sound. It has a particularly pleasing effect on electric bass and guitars, but its applications are certainly not limited to those instruments. It's certainly not the most transparent-sounding preamp, but that's really not Warm Audio's aim here — and if that is what you want, the world is awash with devices that offer bags of clean gain!
I often like to try pushing a preamp by feeding loud signals into it, particularly with transient-rich material such as drums, where the brief peaks overload the analogue circuitry, because more of the device's character becomes apparent, due in large part (I suspect) to the sonic contribution of the balancing transformers. The WA12 behaves rather nicely in this respect, and the -20dB pad allows you to feed in line as well as mic signals. As with the original API design, there's no built-in output attenuation, which means that this sort of 'driving' job is only really achievable if you follow the preamp with an external attenuation stage, whether that be a dedicated attenuator or another processor. It's a shame, in a way, as it should be easy and cheap to incorporate such a stage in a design like this without compromising the purity of the original design, and it would make the WA12 more versatile. The only other thing I missed was a high-pass filter, to cut out unwanted knocks, pops and rumbles. That said, it seems rather uncharitable of me to grouch about things as small as this, given the price and quality of what's on offer.
While testing the WA12, I had access to a couple of broadly similar-sounding preamps — an API 512c and a Classic API (Classic Audio Products, Illinois, not to be confused with API themselves!) VP28, both of which are available only in 500-series format, and the WA12 can hold its head high in this company. The latter of these two, in particular, offers a few more options, notably the output level attenuator, but it's not available stand-alone, and although the price is low, it's a DIY build! If you're in need of a stand-alone external preamp, then, and want it to add a little coloration to your signals, I'm happy to recommend that you consider the WA12.

Federal and State Standards for "Essential Community Providers" under the ACA and Implications for Women's Health
Safety net providers such as community health centers and family planning clinics have served a significant role in the provision of primary care and reproductive health care services to low-income and uninsured people, particularly women. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has a provision aimed at assuring that newly-insured individuals, as well as those without coverage, can continue seeing their trusted safety net providers, also called Essential Community Providers (ECPs). This brief reviews the definition of ECPs, examines the federal and state rules that govern the extent to which plans must include these providers in their networks, identifies the variation from state to state, and discusses the particular importance of these rules and providers for women's access to care.Issue Brief Read More

This issue brief uses information from the Federal Reserve Board's 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances to look at how household resources match up against potential cost-sharing requirements for plans offered by employers or available in the individual market, including in the Affordable Care Act marketplaces.Issue Brief Read More
