Farmer Regulations
See Farmer Hunting and Permit Information.
Firearms and Missiles
Hunter Orange
Firearm hunters must wear a cap made of solid daylight fluorescent orange or an outer garment containing at least 200 square inches of fluorescent orange material visible from all sides at all times while engaged in hunting. A camo-orange hat alone is not adequate.
This applies to all persons while hunting with a firearm for deer, bear, rabbit, hare, squirrel, coyote, fox, railbirds, and game birds including while in a tree stand.
Exceptions: this law does not apply to waterfowl, crow, wild turkey, coyote/fox (during the special permit season), woodchuck nor bowhunters except that a bowhunter using a deer decoy must wear hunter orange, as described above, while transporting the decoy into and out of the woods and fields. During the Six-day Firearm Season, it is recommended that bowhunters wear hunter orange.
It is unlawful to use smokeless powder in a muzzleloader while hunting in New Jersey. Only black powder or black powder equivalents, such as Pyrodex and Triple Se7en, may be used with a muzzleloading firearm when engaged in hunting.
Properly licensed and permitted hunters 10 years and older may hunt with a muzzleloading rifle. A valid rifle permit must be possessed while hunting with a muzzleloading rifle. Permitted action types include percussion, flintlock and inline. Electronic ignitions are not legal. For muzzleloader barrel types and legal hunting ammunition, see regulations for each game species.
It is unlawful to hunt with a muzzleloading rifle on WMAs, except for deer, bear and during the special seasons for coyote/fox and squirrel hunting. See muzzleloader rifle squirrel hunting, muzzleloader deer hunting, rifle permit information, and muzzleloader coyote/fox hunting.
Non-Resident Game Removal
A non-resident licensee may remove from the state each day a daily bag limit of game. However, a non-resident may not take more than two day's bag limit from the state after one week's stay (Sunday to Saturday inclusive.) This restriction does not apply to game raised or killed at a licensed commercial preserve and legally tagged.
Possession of Certain Wildlife By Persons, Taxidermists & Butchers
No person shall have in possession a deer, bear, migratory game birds or turkey that they did not kill unless it has a tag bearing the name, address, telephone number, license and permit numbers of the person who killed the deer, bear, migratory game bird or turkey. Those in the business of processing deer, bear or turkey (that is butchers, taxidermists, etc.) shall keep a ledger of all of their customers. Each customer's name, current address, day and evening telephone numbers, hunting license number and possession seal number of any black bear, deer or turkey being processed shall be included in the ledger. The ledger shall be made available for inspection upon request during the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. by any law enforcement officer or employee of the Division of Fish and Wildlife.
Possession of naturally shed deer antlers is legal. Parts of deer possessed, other than shed antlers, must be from lawfully harvested deer. Proof of lawful harvest (tag or seal) should be retained for verification. Road killed deer are intended only for consumption; antler possession from these deer is not legal.
Taxidermists note: The sale of wild birds and game animals, or parts thereof, is prohibited in New Jersey. Legally-trapped furbearers may be sold. Questions should be directed to a regional Fish and Wildlife law enforcement office.
Property Damage
Hunters must not hunt in unharvested crops unless first obtaining permission from the owner. Anyone causing damage to cultivated crops, orchards, fences, buildings or livestock may be arrested without warrant by the owner, occupant, lessee, or any officer of the law. Violators are liable for a fine of up to $2,000 and restitution to the property owner in addition to the loss of hunting privileges for a period of five years.
Public Land Hunting
For public land hunting, refer to Wildlife Management Areas, and Hunter Access.
Rifles, .22 caliber
A valid rifle permit must be possessed while hunting with a .22 caliber rifle.
It is unlawful to possess and use .22 caliber rifle except while hunting woodchuck (no rifle hunting on wildlife management areas), hunting raccoon and opossum with hounds, and dispatching trapped animals other than muskrat.
A .22 caliber rifle must be loaded with short cartridges only, except when hunting woodchuck.
A .22 caliber rifle need not be plugged, but may be loaded with no more than three shells. No 10–17 year-olds may hunt with any rimfire or centerfire rifle.
See Woodchuck Season chart for details on small caliber rifle ammunition legal for hunting woodchucks.
IMPORTANT notice for bowhunters: At press time, legislation has passed—but is awaiting action by the governor—to reduce the bowhunter safety zone. Check our Web site (NJFishandWildlife.com) prior to hunting. If this bill becomes law as passed, it will be as follows:
(Tentative) Carrying a bow with a nocked arrow within 150 feet of an occupied building or 450 feet of any school playground is prohibited, except the owner or lessee of a building—and persons specifically authorized by him in writing (written permission must be in possession while hunting)—may hunt within 150 feet of the building. Note: Persons authorized to hunt within 150 feet of a building must hunt from an elevated position to shoot down toward the ground. Shooting into a safety zone is prohibited. (See Safety Zone Awareness for diagram and safety zone explanation.)
With the exception of the bowhunter safety zone bill potentially becoming law, no hunter may carry a loaded firearm or nocked arrow within 450 feet of a building or any school playground, even if unoccupied, except the owner or lessee of a building and persons specifically authorized by him in writing may hunt within 450 feet of the building. Note: persons authorized to hunt within 450 feet of a building must be in possession of the written permission while hunting. Shooting into a safety zone is prohibited. (See Safety Zone Awareness for diagram and safety zone explanation.)
Shotguns larger than 10-gauge are prohibited for hunting. Shotguns may not be capable of holding more than three shells except for September Canada goose hunting. For information on legal shot sizes, see regulations for each game species to be hunted.
Sunday Hunting
No person may hunt with firearms or any other weapon or carry a gun in the woods or fields or on the waters on Sunday except on semi-wild and commercial shooting preserve lands for the purpose of shooting stocked game; and when using a .22 rifle for dispatching trapped animals. See note below.
NOTE: Sunday bowhunting for deer is now legal only on state wildlife management areas and private property.
Persons are allowed to hunt raccoon or opossum between midnight on Saturday and one hour before sunrise on Sunday during the prescribed season.
Trespass Law
Hunters and trappers must have permission (oral or written) from the landowner or lessee prior to entering either posted lands or agricultural lands (which are not required to be posted.) Hunters also must obtain permission to enter posted land and agricultural land to recover deer. Hunters and trappers may not enter unposted land after having been forbidden to trespass by the owner, lessee or occupant.
If a hunter or trapper is charged with trespass, they must provide documentation of written permission in court for their defense.
It is illegal to capture, kill, injure or have in possession any wild bird other than a game bird.
No one may rob a bird's nest.
The removal of the skin or feathers or mutilation of any wild bird or mammal in the woods or fields for the purpose of concealing sex or identity is illegal.
All nongame mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians are protected. Penalties for taking these species range from $250–$5,000.
There is no open season on bobcat. It is illegal to kill, attempt to kill or possess bobcats except parts of bobcats legally taken in other states may be possessed but not sold in New Jersey.
See also Possession of Wildlife.
The sale of wild birds or game animals or parts thereof is prohibited except as described in N.J.S.A. 23:4-27. For more specific information, refer to our Web site, NJFishandWildlife.com.
Property owners and occupants of dwellings, or their agents designated in writing, suffering damage from squirrel, raccoon, opossum, skunk, weasel, woodchuck, gray fox, red fox and coyote may control these animals by lawful procedures at any time subject to state law and local ordinances. Farmers or their agents may also control the above species by lawful procedures when found destroying livestock, crops or poultry at any time subject to state and local ordinances.
Note: Persons who kill a coyote must notify a Fish and Wildlife Regional Law Enforcement Office within 24 hours.
Regulations in red are new this year.

Thiago Silva has not recovered enough from a left thigh problem he picked up during a Ligue 1 match against Ajaccio last month and is expected to be fit for the return leg at Parc des Princes in three weeks.
Motta, who has also had a thigh injury, returned to full training on Saturday but coach Carlo Ancelotti did not name the Brazilian-born player in the squad.
Former England captain David Beckham will travel to Spain but has not made the squad as he has yet to train with the Ligue 1 leaders since joining them on a five-month deal on January 31.

Shifting sand dunes fill approximately 85% of the vast Taklamakan Desert, most over 100 meters tall, with some rising over 300 meters high. While these dunes are in constant motion due to the ever-present gusting winds, the motion is usually gentle and localized. At times, however, strong winds can loft the sands high into the air and carry them hundreds, sometimes thousands of kilometers as part of heavy, sun-shrouding sandstorms.
On September 22, 2013 the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite flew over the region and captured a strong sandstorm in progress. A broad blanket of sand covers the Tarim Basin, often obscuring the land from the satellite�s view. The snow-capped Tian Mountains to the north and the Kunlun Mountains to the southwest form a barrier to the sand�s movement, resulting in clear air over these ridges and to the north, west and southwest. Sand blows eastward relatively unobstructed while thin streams of sand appear to be covering parts of the Altun Mountains to the south of the desert.
The Taklamakan Desert lies in the rain shadow of the Tian Mountains, so precipitation in the region is very rare, yet the region suffers from extreme cold due to the influence of frigid Siberian air masses in winter. For about the last 50 years the Chinese government has attempted to encourage planting trees and managing the environment to try to slow desertification and increase the habitability of oasis settlements.

These observations establish more than 2400 lines that are suitable for use as wavelength standards in the range 691 nm to 5804 nm. The observations were made in collaboration with the European Southern Observatory (ESO), in order to provide calibration reference data for new high-resolution Echelle spectrographs, such as the Cryogenic High-Resolution IR Echelle Spectrograph ([CRIRES]), ESO's new IR spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope in Chile.

Monitoring Sea Ice
Records assembled by Vikings showing the number of weeks per year that ice occurred along the north coast of Iceland date back to A.D. 870, but a more complete record exists since 1600. More extensive written records of Arctic sea ice date back to the mid-1700s. The earliest of those records relate to Northern Hemisphere shipping lanes, but records from that period are sparse. Air temperature records dating back to the 1880s can serve as a stand-in (proxy) for Arctic sea ice, but such temperature records were initially collected at only 11 locations. Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute has compiled ice charts dating back to 1933. Today, scientists studying Arctic sea ice trends can rely on a fairly comprehensive record dating back to 1953, using a combination of satellite records, shipping records, and ice charts from several countries.
In the Antarctic, data prior to the satellite record are even more sparse. To try to extend the historical record of Southern Hemisphere sea ice extent further back in time, scientists have been investigating two types of proxies for sea ice extent. One is records kept by Antarctic whalers since the 1930s that document the location of all whales caught. Because whales tend to congregate near the sea ice edge to feed, their locations could be a proxy for the ice extent. A second possible proxy is the presence of a phytoplankton-derived organic compound in Antarctic ice cores. Since phytoplankton grow most abundantly along the edges of the ice pack, the concentration of this sulfur-containing organic compound has been proposed as an indicator of how far the ice edge extended from the continent. Currently, however, only the satellite record is considered sufficiently reliable for studying Antarctic sea ice trends.
Satellite Monitoring
Since 1979, satellites have provided a continuous, nearly complete record of Earth's sea ice. The most valuable data sets come from satellite sensors that observe microwaves emitted by the ice surface because, unlike visible light, the microwave energy radiated by the sea ice surface passes through clouds and can be measured even at night. The continuous sea ice record began with the Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (October 1978-August 1987) and continued with the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Special Sensor Microwave Imager (1987 to present). The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–for EOS on NASA's Aqua satellite has been observing sea ice since 2002.
Ice Area Versus Ice Extent
Satellite images of sea ice are made from observations of microwave energy radiated from the Earth's surface. Because ocean water emits microwaves differently than sea ice, ice "looks" different to the satellite sensor. The observations are processed into digital picture elements, or pixels. Each pixel represents a square surface area on Earth, often 25 kilometers by 25 kilometers. Scientists estimate the amount of sea ice in each pixel.
There are two ways to express the total polar ice cover: ice area and ice extent. To estimate ice area, scientists calculate the percentage of sea ice in each pixel, multiply by the pixel area, and total the amounts. To estimate ice extent, scientists set a threshold percentage, and count every pixel meeting or exceeding that threshold as "ice-covered." The National Snow and Ice Data Center, one of NASA's Distributed Active Archive Centers, monitors sea ice extent using a threshold of 15 percent.
The threshold–based approach may seem less accurate, but it has the advantage of being more consistent. When scientists are analyzing satellite data, it is easier to say whether there is or isn't at least 15 percent ice cover in a pixel than it is to say, for example, whether the ice cover is 70 percent or 75 percent. By reducing the uncertainty in the amount of ice, scientists can be more certain that changes in sea ice cover over time are real.

Since you are using the LinkSys router then you don't really need the
McAfee firewall on your computer. The router performs the firewall
screening for you. Usually hardware firewalls are better than
software firewalls. I don't use a software firewall because I have a
router and all of the tests that I've done online through McAfee,
Norton, and other places show my network to be completely secure. So
I save money by not having to buy the firewall software. Don't take
off the virus protection, but if you disabled the McAfee personal
firewall it wouldn't hurt. That is, of course unless the computer you
are using it on is in a DMZ outside of the firewall. If so, then
disregard the aforementioned comments.

Archives Busily Scanning 77TB of Bush Administration Docs
- Sep 04, 2009 4:53 PM EST
- [num] Comments
Former President George W. Bush is well on his way to being digitized. Well, his records are, at least. The National Archives announced this week that they have scanned 85 percent of the 77 terabytes of information submitted by the Bush administration.
Those of you hoping to peruse the former president's records over the Labor Day weekend will have to wait, though. All information remains sealed and is not subject to Freedom of Information Act requests until five years after the end of a president's last term, according to the Presidential Records Act.
That 77TB of data is about 35 times the amount of data the National Archives received from the Clinton administration, which itself was "many times" the amount of data provided by President George H.W. Bush.
The entire scanning process is set to be done by the end of the month.

Special Report
Wraps & Platforms - March 2012
Wraps and platforms are starting to become the established means by which financial advisers do business.
They collate a client's portfolio in one place and allow easy access to funds across the investment spectrum.
For some companies they are seen as the white knight that will ensure their future business: the life offices. As a result many have launched in the last few years, and the tools have evolved to include useful functions, to help advisers plan their clients' portfolio efficiently, adding value to their service.
But as with any type of instrument that becomes popular, the FSA has started to keep a close eye on how platforms and wraps function, and how money is passed from the fund managers, to the platforms and to the clients. And any time a particular function on the platform becomes popular, once again the regulator alerts the industry that it is taking a look.
But despite the regulatory scrutiny, wraps have become incredibly popular, and as advisers gear up for the RDR, so they can become more useful when calculating adviser charging.
The question remains, in terms of how wraps and platforms will evolve in the next few years, and whether they wil be the same in number.
They have developed from being the mass market supermarkets to all singing and dancing investment tools, with a wide variety of assets and the universe of funds. Only time will tell which will stay in the long term.

Team of German Researchers to Receive Honda Prize 2008 for Their Achievement in Aberration-Corrected Transmission Electron Microscopy for High-Resolution Visualization of Atomic Structures
| September 30, 2008– The Honda Foundation, co-founded by Soichiro Honda and his younger brother Benjiro Honda, and currently headed by Hiromori Kawashima, is pleased to announce the Honda Prize for the year 2008 will be awarded to a German team of researchers of electron microscopy led by Dr. Maximilian Haider, Dr. Harald Rose, and Dr. Knut Urban. Their team developed the world-first Atomic Electron Microscope, a type of transmission electron microscope (TEM)*1 capable of atomic-level imaging using aberration correction technology. The team will be the 29th laureate of the prize.
The basic theory of aberration correction for high-resolution imaging was introduced by Dr. Otto Scherzer of Germany in the 1940's. Many researchers attempted, but failed, its implementation as an aberration-corrected electron microscope; and experts had questioned its technical feasibility by the time the laureates, who thought otherwise, were teamed in 1989. The laureates refined the basic theory in light of materials science and combined it with electron optical engineering techniques to attain the mechanical stability required for electron microscopy. In 1997 they succeeded in making an aberration-corrected TEM that is capable of high-resolution imaging of atomic structures.
This aberration-corrected microscopic technology used for the TEM is now made available to microscope manufacturers in Germany, Japan and other countries through CEOS, a project spin-off company headed by Dr. Haider, to be distributed worldwide for its applications. The TEM has become one of the essential instruments for research and development on an atomic level. It is used not only to produce ultrafine particles for advanced, high-integrated semiconductor devices, but to analyze and examine the atomic arrangements, structures, and binding of various materials in industries like metallic engineering, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Many users expect new materials could be discovered and macroscopic properties could be analyzed at atomic levels by use of this technology.
In the research project, Dr. Rose has been chiefly responsible for the basic design of the corrector and the refinement of the theory of image formation, whereas Dr. Urban has worked for the application of the refined theory based on his expertise in materials science, and Dr. Haider has used his knowledge in electron optical engineering for the elaborate design and development of this new aberration-corrected technology. The Honda Foundation recognizes the three physicists for their spirit of challenge as well as substantial contributions to human life through their sophisticated technological achievement that we believe embodies the ethos of Ecotechnology.*2
The 29th award ceremony for the Honda Prize will be held at the Imperial Hotel Tokyo on Monday, November 17th 2008. In addition to the prize diploma and medal, a prize of 10 million yen will be awarded to the team of the laureates.

A friend of mine, Kirsten, showed me these photos the other day and I just had to share them here on the blog. Yes, it's a burger cupcake – complete with cookie fries on the side!
"I actually made a batch of these burger cupcakes as a present for Yianni (of #Meateasy and Meatwagon fame) last summer," says the cake's baker, Kirsten. "Admittedly, burger cuppies aren't a new concept, and I took my base idea from the ever brilliant Bakerella website. Bakerella has a great template that I used for the fast food container the burger comes in and the little bag for the cookie fries.
"I did change a few things up though, like using starburst sweets and rolling them out flat with a rolling pin to create cheese squares. The best part is, you can make these babies without actually having to bake a thing! Not my style, personally, but helpful for kitchenphobes out there. The bun is a vanilla cupcake split in two, the burger patty is a chocolate brownie, and the lettuce is fondant, with red ketchup and yellow mustard icing. Add a few sesame seeds on top and voila!"
And here's how Kirsten's cake measured up to one of Yianni's famous Meatwagon burgers!

Former Carrollton resident indicted for bigamy
It may be the least of his worries, but a Denton County grand jury last week issued a bigamy indictment against former Carrollton resident Bryon Drennan.
Drennan, 36, was arrested in upstate New York in November on charges of killing his new bride after her body was found under a pile of rocks along the shore of Lake Ontario. He was indicted for second-degree murder in the death of Stefanie Casey, formerly of Carrollton.
Drennan was accused of marrying Casey before his divorce from Carrollton resident Rhonda Drennan was finalized.

We lost most of the furniture all of our electrical equipment along with our furnace, hotwater heater, washer, dryer, carpet and personal items.
On Monday we called our insurance company to make a claim. Since there was so much damage in the area they could not come out for about 2 weeks. But our contractor started the clean up and replacement of the needed items.
Once the insurance ajuster came out and evaluated the damage without any personal items the total was just about $27,000. Our policy had a limit of $25,000. The adjuster said that he would file the report for us and we would receive the full amount of our coverage. Within a few days we recieved a check for $25,000 which was made out in our name as well as Wells Fargo. We went to a Wells Fargo branch to cashe the check in which at that point we were told that we would have to send it to their Loss Department along with the adjusters report. On the insurance adjusters report it clearly stated that all the work was completed by the contractor.
I contacted the Wells Fargo Loss Department and they told me that I would have to mail or fax the information to them as well as endorse the check and send them. We waited and waited to hear back from Wells Fargo. After 2 weeks we contacted them and was told that they did not receive all of the required paperwork that I had fax and mailed to them and that was the hold up. Once again we did that, this went on 4 times before they acknowkledged that they received all of the paperwork. This was 2 months after the loss and the work was done.
Everytime that we contacted them by phone and mail we did not receive a response. My contractor contacted us looking for the $23,000 of work that was performed and the material that he had purchased. We are now going on 3 months after the claim without any release of funds. We told the contractor that we were trying our very best to get him his money. The contractor was as nice as he could be but he needed his money. He also expressed that other people in the area that had a loss on the same day he was experiencing the same issues with funds being released.
In December the contractor sent us a letter stating that he had no other choice but to start the process of putting lien on the property. We told him that we had no issue with this because there was not reason that he should not have been paid. We tried on several occasions to discuss this problem with our insurance company and they were no help.
Finally in February 2012 we received a check for 1/3 in the amount of $8,333.33. The check had the contractors name as well as our name on the check. We contacted the contractor and delivered the check to him after we endorsed it. The contractor went directly to a Wells Fargo branch to cash it in which he was told that they would not cash it and it was not endorsed correctly by us. The check had the contractors name and address on there with our first names and then our last name. When we signed the check we each signed our name. Wells Fargo told the contractor that it was not done correctly and refused to cash it for him.
The contractor went to his bank and had to wait for the check to clear which was even a futher delay since it took 10 business days. The contractors bank said that the delay was that Wells Fargo had delayed releasing the funds into his account.
Now we are 7 months after the loss and Wells Fargo still has not released the rest of the funds. They are telling us that they need to come and do an inspection to ensure that the work was done. In all of the insurance papers that have been provided over and over to them in which the insurance adjuster verifies that the repairs were done they will still not release the money. The insurance estimate was higher than what the contractor charged us for the work so the rest of the money should be paid to us, we also had paid the contractor for one invoice that we could afford for $579.00 in which Wells Fargo refuses to send us a check for that.
This has become more than a joke, while Wells Fargo is collecting interest on the insurance check for $25,000 for months. Our contractor has not charged us any late fees or interest. As a favor to us he does not want to put a lien on the property but at this point we encourage him to do that so maybe at least at some point he will get his money.
The contractor has stated that he had done repairs on other properties that had Wells Fargo as the mortgage company and is having the same issue. He has sworn that he will find out first who the mortgage company is before he preforms any work for people that are in need. We were lucky that he came right away to help us but now he is paying dearly for it. He paid his workers and now is out all of this money.
All I can say is that if you have a choice of mortgage companies you do not use Wells Fargo because they are not on your side and will do whatever it takes to make your life miserable and not pay the money that is not even thiers.

Merging changes in TFS through Visual Studio may fail if the branch you are merging from has been renamed, or moved under or out of a folder, with the following error:
No matching items found in $/[Project] at the specified version
- Branch "Main" to "v1″
- Check in a change to the "v1″ branch
- Rename the branch to "v2″, (or change the path in any way, like putting it under a folder)
- Try to merge the changeset you checked into "v1″ back into the "Main" branch.
You will get an error similar to "No matching items found in $/[Project]/v2 at the specified version"
In order to overcome this, you need to specify the old path for the merge, which you are unable to do through the UI in Visual Studio. To do this, open up the visual studio command prompt and run the following:
tf merge "$/[Project]/v1″ "$/[Project]/Main" /recursive /version:C[ChangesetNumber]
Be sure to change [Project] to whatever your team project name is, and [ChangesetNumber] to whatever changeset you are merging from the branch into the main branch; or some other version specifier if you aren't merging from a changeset number.
See the documentation on merging on msdn for further information.

In recognition of our deep and abiding interests in the region, we are working hard to ensure our alliances in the Asia-Pacific are among our strongest and most active. Our alliances have underwritten peace and security for over 50 years and provided a context for economic prosperity that in many ways has enabled the "Asian economic miracle." This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the U.S.-Japan alliance and also commemorating the 60th anniversary of the start of the Korean War. Our alliances with Japan and the Republic of Korea have evolved from strategic bulwarks against Soviet expansionism to truly global partnerships.
The Obama administration is committed to developing and enhancing each and every one of our strategic alliances in the Asia-Pacific.
Our alliance with Japan is a cornerstone of our strategic engagement in Asia. The May 2006 agreement on defense transformation and realignment will enhance deterrence while creating a more sustainable military presence in the region. We are working with Japan to create a more durable and forward-looking vision for the alliance that not only enhances our mutual defense capabilities, but also develops Japan's role as a global leader on issues such as climate change and development assistance. As we mark the 50th anniversary of the alliance, we will continue to work closely with Japan to develop and maximize our joint capabilities as alliance partners.Together with our Asia-Pacific allies, we are working to respond to both traditional and non-traditional security challenges ranging from proliferation to climate change, as well as developing more robust regional architecture that will help enhance regional capacities to both deal with problems and seize opportunities for greater integration and stability. The emergence of transnational challenges necessitates that the United States work with other partners to find solutions. We will continue to work with our traditional allies on these issues, while enhancing relationships with countries like China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. I would like to take the opportunity to emphasize the bilateral, regional and global dimensions of our engagement with the Republic of Korea. Peninsular, Regional, and Global Dimensions:
We are working closely with the Republic of Korea to achieve a partnership that is truly global and comprehensive in nature. President Obama and President Lee Myung-bak have charted a forward-looking agenda for the alliance, outlined by the June 16, 2009 U.S.-ROK Joint Vision Statement. The U.S.-ROK alliance continues to evolve rapidly and has provided a solid foundation for security in the Asia-Pacific region for more than half a century. This security has helped make possible economic and political development in the ROK that was unimaginable at the end of the Korean War. Today Korea is a vibrant democracy with the fourteenth largest economy in the world and is our seventh largest trading partner. Our economic ties continue to serve as a strong foundation for the U.S.-ROK partnership. This is why President Obama underscored his support the United States-Korea free trade agreement by undertaking to resolve outstanding issues by the time he visits Seoul in November. Its successful implementation will benefit both economies, create jobs, and bolster the enduring strength of this strategic partnership in an important and rapidly growing region. It can also contribute to the strengthening of our overall bilateral alliance. In November of this year, Korea will host the next G-20 Summit in Seoul, a first for a non-G-8 nation and a first for an Asian country.
The U.S. and ROK are also working closely to modernize our defense alliance, which remains a key element of our overall bilateral relationship. We are working closely to adjust our force posture and presence to be better positioned to respond to current and future security challenges. We are moving towards a posture and presence that reflects a relationship of equals and that ensures a forward-stationed deployment of 28,500 American troops in South Korea. We recently moved the date of Wartime Operational Control transfer from 2012 to 2015 in order to strengthen the transition plan. This change will allow us to more closely synchronize the ROK lead of the combined defense with other ongoing alliance transformation efforts. In addition to military cooperation, our broader bilateral relationship outside the military realm also contributes to and enhances the security of the Korean Peninsula.
The closeness of our alliance with the Republic of Korea is also demonstrated by the existence of a series of institutional consultative mechanisms, including the Security Consultative Meeting, the Military Consultative Meeting, and the Security Policy Initiative. These mechanisms bring together high-level officials to discuss critical issues of mutual concern. Secretary Gates will meet with his counterpart on October 8 at the next Security Consultative Meeting in Washington, DC. We also have regular and increasingly broad trilateral dialogue with the Koreans and Japanese. The last formal Defense Trilateral Talks were held on September 13 in Washington.
As the ROK has grown and prospered, we have seen a convergence of interests between our two countries throughout the world. The ROK continues to be an increasingly active partner in global affairs, and our bilateral and multilateral cooperation transcends the Asia-Pacific region.
For example, the ROK is currently deploying a destroyer to the Combined Maritime Forces' counter-piracy operation Combined Task Force 151, and a Korean Admiral currently holds the rotating command of this task force. Separately, the Koreans will chair the fall plenary meeting of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia in New York. Korea is deploying a Provincial Reconstruction Team to Parwan Province in Afghanistan, and the Korean government quickly deployed peacekeepers to Haiti in the wake of the terrible earthquake there this past January. Korea is also involved in peacekeeping efforts in Lebanon, and they also deploy military observers and staff officers to a host of other UN peacekeeping missions. The ROK has also pledged $200 million towards development in Pakistan. The ROK, along with Japan, recently took steps to implement additional sanctions against Iran, similar in scope to the excellent measures adopted by the EU, joining a growing global consensus and strengthening our efforts to send a unified message to Iran that it should uphold its nuclear nonproliferation obligations and negotiate seriously on its nuclear program.Korea made the leap from aid recipient to aid donor in a very short time span, and we are looking for opportunities to work together on development issues going forward. The ROK is an exemplar of development and has much to teach the developing world. In less than thirty years after the end of the U.S. Peace Corps program in Korea, thousands of idealistic young Koreans have volunteered for similar missions in the developing world. North Korea:

I am watching my neighbors kids (age 2 and 3) because she gets financial assistance from the county and she needs to volunteer or she will lose her benefits. She is expected to look for work or volunteer a minimum of 35 hours a week. She does her best and we (and others) try to help her with childcare, but is this too much to expect from a single parent? I mean they only give her $575 a month.
Should parents on welfare be forced to volunteer?

If they want her to volunteer then the county needs to provide childcare.
Laugh at your problems, everybody else does.
If the "other guy" wins, I'm volunteering as a tribute in the next Hunger Games. ~my funny neighbor~
It isn't volunteer work if it is forced. I understand the idea behind it, if the assistance she is getting is meant to be temporary then she should show she is trying to improve her situation somehow. But, I don't think that is the right approach. It would make more sense to require she attend some sort of training, or spend a certain amount of time in the job center learning interview skills or something.
Literally anyone but Trump. President Potato sounds like a better option.
I think it is one thing to require someone to look for work and another to require them to volunteer. While it might sound good on paper, it is a burden on an already burdened family. Many moms wouldn't be able to afford daycare on $575/mo and don't have friends or family who can help.
If God exists, she's pro-choice
Progressive, socialist natural-minded mom to K (5/30/09) and I (10/26/12)
Our state has the same kind of thing going on, here it's part of a job search/training thing. I was supposed to be doing 30 hours of job search/volunteer work at approved places, on top of working part time and going to school part time. For $100/mo. I gave up.
Have some fucking compassion for the fact that I am facing my biggest fear.
Please help me raise money for my surgery-
Boo, you whore.
No they shouldn't. Job search is one thing but there are some on the sytem who work..so when should they volunteer?
Sorry, if she works, that can used towards her 35 hours too. So, if she worked 20 hours one week, she could just look for work or volunteer 15 hours that week.

Less than minimum wage for the amount of time she is to volunteer, and guaranteed daycare would eat up the entire $575 for kids that age.

With the start of the New Year also came a big freeze that has blanketed the UK in sub-0 temperatures and over a foot of snow. The cold and snow brought a bit of chaos, with many schools, roads, and airports closing. Some towns were unprepared for the extreme weather and were left without enough salt to clear the roads. Because of the shortage a fleet of lorries is driving through the freezing temperatures and snow to deliver 12,000 tonnes of salt to thaw out the roadways.
For a truly unique perspective on the United Kingdom's big snowfall, NASA has shared a picture of the country taken on January 7th via the Terra satellite:

Through the trials and tribulations of early life for Microsoft's upcoming mobile Operating System, Windows Phone 7, the details weren't always painting the best picture for the future release. Point in fact, the talk about Copy & Paste, which many people make use of on their mobile phone in one way or another, was leaning towards the "not supported" aspect on upcoming devices. And, sure enough, Microsoft made it known that the devices featuring their latest and greatest mobile OS wouldn't be able to utilize Copy & Paste. At least, not right off the bat. But today, Microsoft has made it clear that, soon, their devices would be able to take advantage of the feature.
While Microsoft is busy feeding out announcements regarding the many, many places Windows Phone 7 will show up in the near future, they took a moment to point out that Copy & Paste would indeed be showing up on Windows Phone 7 in the near future. Microsoft couldn't give an exact date, as we're sure they don't even have that date quite yet, but they did say that the software update would be showing up on Windows Phone 7 devices some time in the early part of 2011.
We're staying with the updates as they happen, so stay tuned to see what else Microsoft has up their sleeve.

Late 60s/early 70s band fronted by Jim Morrison. Progressed from an amalgam of light and dark psychedelia to bluesy rock by the time of Jim Morrison's death. Known for Jim's voice and lyrics as well as their reliance on Ray Manzarek's organ; Jim's qualities stand out in longer tracks like "The End" and "When the Music's Over" as well as shorter tracks like "The Crystal Ship" and "Not to Touch the Earth."

A hippie band whose songs actually had real meaning behind the lyrics unlike the lame trendy teeny-bopper rap/pop/bubbglegum-punk you hear these days.
Not many people know this but Jim M. was actually possesed by demons and if you pay attention to some of his older videos you can see them manefest, and totally change his voice... don't believe me? look for a video called "they sold their souls for rock n roll" you'll see what I mean

NEW DELHI: In an apparent dig at CAG reports on coal block allocation and Delhi airport development, Union Minister Kamal Nath today said the "philosophy of presumptive loss" could start from anywhere and go to any end.
"There is a kind of mood that everything is wrong and there is a philosophy of presumptive loss. Now, if I have a government car and don't use it for one week, it is presumptive loss for the government...that they paid for the car and never used it," Nath said.

Financial Education for Securities, Banking, & Insurance Professionals.
Brian H. Early Lecture Series
Managing Partners and Managing Directors, in partnership with the Northwestern Mutual Foundation, have recently created a permanent fund to honor Brian with a yearly lecture in his name and based on his beliefs. The first lecture was held in October 2009. The Annual Brian H. Early Lecture in Practice Management and Leadership features presentations by industry thought leaders. The goal of the annual lecture is to promote state-of-the-art management practices in financial services—the area in which Brian excelled.
One of his greatest passions was the recruiting and development of other financial services professionals. His legacy of dedication, knowledge, growth, and passion for the industry lives on in each of the individuals with whom he worked and in the clients who trusted him. In addition to his passion for financial services, Brian also had a passion and love for life. He often lived by the simple, three-word phrase "livin' the dream", because these words served as motivation and as a sign to himself that he had lived a full and good life.
The American College is proud to promote state-of-the-art management practices and to share the passion that Brian felt as he was "livin' the dream". The Brian H. Early Lecture will ensure that his legacy continues in the lives of his family, friends, colleagues, and clients.

Multiple studies correlate physical activity with achieving weight loss goals
If you have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes or have been told that you are at risk for developing it, you probably know that weight loss is key to managing the condition. The exciting news is that several Type 2 diabetes-related studies suggest a strong link between physical activity and successful weight loss. Even better: you don't have to be a young triathlete to get this benefit. These studies appear to dispel the myth that it's more difficult to lose weight as you get older.
Here's a look at what researchers have discovered.
13-year Look Ahead Trial
Baylor College of Medicine's Behavioral Medicine Research Center is taking part in this study, which is one of the longest government-funded weight loss trials. We are monitoring the health of 5,145 people who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and using weight loss as a means to reduce their risk for heart disease, stroke and death. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to receive intensive lifestyle intervention; the other half are following their doctor's recommendations and receiving a minimum amount of additional help from the researchers on improving their diet and lifestyle.
We are now into year eight of the study. We recently looked into the attributes of the people within the intensive lifestyle group who have succeeded both in their weight loss and physical activity goals at 12 months.
- The average number of physical activity minutes achieved per week was 137, and the average weight loss for the Lifestyle participants was 8.6%. Participants who spent more time being physically active achieved the greatest weight loss (287 minutes per week 11.9% weight loss).
- The older participants were the most successful in losing weight and maintaining their physical activity. In fact, those ages 65 to 74 achieved greater weight loss (9.4%) than any other age group.
Diabetes Prevention Program
This trial also examined the effectiveness of intensive lifestyle intervention with participants at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes. This trial was ended early because researchers determined that the participants in the intensive lifestyle intervention arm of the study had reduced their risk by 58%!
After following those participants for 10 years, the researchers determined that they still benefitted from a 35% risk reduction.
- Examining the data, it's clear that those people who maintained their goals for physical activity were also the ones who were successful at losing weight and keeping it off. This correlation surfaces time after time.
Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Investigators in this government survey looked at the healthy behaviors of people with and without a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Healthy behaviors included physical activity, not smoking, scores on a healthy eating index, moderate alcohol intake, and either maintaining their weight or losing weight in the preceding 12 months.
Not surprisingly, the people with the greatest number of healthy behaviors had a 15% reduced risk of dying from any diabetes-related cause.
- Of all the healthy behaviors, physical activity (measured as regular, moderate or vigorous) was the most protective for adults with or without diabetes.
Lessons learned
1. There is a strong association between physical activity, weight loss and health.
While no cause and effect has been proven, it's clear that people who are physically active on a regular basis seem to lead healthier lives. Set a goal to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity for five days each week and you should start seeing improvements in your weight and your health.
2. Give yourself time to make physical activity a habit.
Until it becomes woven into their lifestyle, most people need some kind of constant encouragement. Start with an activity that is easy to incorporate such as walking. If you don't have a sidewalk, go to a park. If the weather is too hot or cold, go to a mall. Buy a pedometer because it is a great motivational tool! Challenge yourself to walk 10,000 steps a day. Remember you don't need to carve out a large chunk of time to exercise. It's okay to break it up throughout the day.
3. Meal replacements are good weight loss tools.
Participants in the Look Ahead trial successfully used liquid meal replacements for two meals a day during the first three months of their intensive lifestyle intervention. These simplified food choices (bars, liquids, frozen entrees, etc.) remove the choice and guesswork of what to eat. They are convenient, and they help you get accustomed to eating a lighter meal. So if you have trouble finding the time to eat a nutritious breakfast or lunch, keep a meal replacement handy. (Just don't overindulge at the end of the day.)
4. The buddy system works.
Those Look Ahead trial participants who attended the most meetings had greater success reaching their goals than those who attended less often. During the meetings, they compared notes with others about how they added physical activity to their lives. Find someone to hold you accountable for reaching your goals either by exercising with a motivated friend, participating in a formal weight loss program, or taking advantage of any number of online weight loss programs now available.
5. Self-monitoring will get you to the finish line.
Researchers for both the Look Ahead Trial and the Diabetes Prevention Program discovered that the participants who recorded their physical and dietary activities in a journal every day were more successful at reaching their goals. Self-monitoring is a wonderful tool because it keeps you focused and lets you see how far you've come.
The message is clear. If you have Type 2 Diabetes, or are at risk for developing it, you need to get moving – literally. Physical activity can provide a strong and effective foundation for achieving your weight loss and health goals.

|Cost-Effective Commissioning for Existing and Low Energy Buildings - A New IEA ECBCS Research Project
|April 19, 2006
|The benefits of commissioning are increasingly being recognized internationally. In 2004 and 2005, over 40 experts from 12 countries participated in two workshops to identify barriers to cost-effective building commissioning. These countries have adopted the commissioning practice to various extents. The results of these workshops became the basis for a new research project, Annex 47, on ,Cost-Effective Commissioning for Existing and Low Energy Buildings.Š Annex 47 was approved at the 56th Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) Executive Committee meeting in June 2005. At present, 13 countries are involved in this international research project. The Annex research project is nearing the end of the one-year planning phase. This paper presents an overview of the international research plan for 2006-2008 based on the participant work plan and gives insight to the state of commissioning in several of the participant countries.

As Sailor Moon, Usagi must fight evils and enforce justice, in the name of the Moon and the mysterious Moon Princess. She meets other girls destined to be Sailor Senshi (Sailor Scouts), and together, they fight the forces of evil!
Note: The anime is LOOSELY based on the manga, so that might be why the story might seem unrecognizable. Also, Naoko Takeuchi released a re-illustrated version of Sailor Moon a few years after the series had been finished after she had dropped Love Witch.

Bank of Mexico Likely to Lower Its Growth Forecast
Private economists aren't the only ones rethinking their estimates for Mexico's economic growth this year. Most of the Bank of Mexico's voting members considered that the central bank will also have to lower its forecast of 3%-4% when it publishes its next quarterly inflation report in May, the minutes to last month's policy meeting showed Friday.
Economic growth, or rather the lack of it, took up much of the discussion at the meeting in which the central bank, led by Gov. Agustín Carstens, voted unanimously to leave the overnight lending rate target at its record low 3.5%.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch said it expects the Bank of Mexico to cut the forecast by half a percentage point to 2.5%-3.5%.
All of the central bank's voting members agreed that the economy slowed late last year and at the beginning of this year — no points for perceptiveness there – and most said they expect a gradual pickup as temporary shocks like the U.S. severe weather and Mexican tax increases vanish.
The minutes showed much less concern about inflation, which spiked above the 2%-4% target in January but has since fallen back within range.
The Bank of Mexico gauges private-sector expectations every month, and in the March survey estimates for GDP growth this year had fallen to 3.1% from 3.4% in January. The central bank publishes its own macroeconomic estimates quarterly.
The Finance Ministry, which last year revised down its growth estimate four times, including a minor tweak in the wake of September's destructive hurricanes, said this week that it plans to review its GDP estimates once it has official numbers in hand. First-quarter data are due May 23, and in the meantime, the ministry is sticking to its above-consensus 3.9% growth estimate for 2014. GDP expanded just 1.1% in 2013.

Russell Baillie has been writing about entertainment since shortly after entertainment was invented. His first music review was of five whalers singing around a piano which got him run out of the town of his upbringing, Whangarei. Along the way he discovered writing about moving pictures with sound was just as rewarding as his coverage of gramophone products and musical ensembles. Eventually he found a home at the Herald, as the founding editor of the TImeOut section, where has won prizes for editing, reviewing and feature writing.

3rd Spells
I agree with the spells mentioned here, but I'd add Protection from Elements (the best dragon hunting spell there is) and if your DM handles illusions well, I'd look at Major Image as well.

I'd have to agree with a number of people in that Haste is one of the most useful spells to get at 3rd level. The added power it adds to a tank every round, or the added spellcasting you as a wizard/sorcerer can do, outstrips the damage output of a single spell in the experiences we've had. Nothing like the flanking rogue getting hasted and then double-sneak attacking, or the main tank going in for extra attacks, or the sorcerer artillery battery firing off spells quicker.

When M.R.S President Molly Stern was growing up in Los Angeles and attending Yeshiva University of Los Angeles High School, she felt out of place. "I fancied myself a tomboy, if you will," said the 30-year-old designer of the M.R.S label. "And I never really felt comfortable with my body, being a curvy, short woman in Los Angeles."
In a city where most clothes are made to suit Los Angeles' idea of the perfect female body type (tall and thin), Stern had difficulty dressing herself in a way that reflected her artistic style and enhanced her curvy body type.
"I have a high taste for fashion," Stern said. "But I'm a round, little, cute Jewish girl with size-C breasts and an hourglass figure, and it is hard to find clothes that fit and are cute and comfortable, and that don't make you feel like, 'Oh my God, I have to hold my stomach in,' or 'Oh my God, my boobs are so big they are falling out of my shirt.'"
Stern, who is also a makeup artist catering to a celebrity clientele, decided to take these sartorial matters into her own hands. When she moved to New York in 1998, and found herself housebound during the harsh winter, she decided that she needed a hobby.
"It was snowing, and I didn't know what to do with that, so I started to sew these sexy T-shirts," she said. "They were sort of punk inspired and had a deconstructionist feel to them -- very sort of raw and organic and were very conscious of flattering the body."
After getting rave reviews about the T-shirts from her friends, Stern took them to a downtown Manhattan store, where they were sold on consignment. The T-shirts quickly sold out, and the store needed to order more.
In the meantime, Stern's roommate, a celebrity fashion stylist, asked Stern to make a shirt for actress Claire Danes, which Danes wore in public. Stern also asked many of her actress makeup clients if they were interested in garments that she made -- and they were.
"Slowly but surely things like that started happening, which gained a celebrity buzz," said Stern, who called her label M.R.S, after her initials (Molly Rebecca Stern). Today, M.R.S clothes are likely to be seen in the fashion pages of Vogue and worn by celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon, Milla Jovovich, Gisele Bundchen and Julianne Moore.
The philosophy behind the label is that women should feel "modestly sexy," an idea that Stern said was inspired by her religious upbringing.
"I went to yeshiva myself, and I feel very aware of being appropriate and being able to be in any sort of situation and feel good about who I am and what I look like," she said. "And that was always a struggle for me within the community of being an artist and being more avant garde than the average yeshiva girl, so I constantly had a struggle of feeling secure of this is who I am and this is what I look like. [M.R.S clothes] were marrying the concept of wanting to be accepted and appropriate and wanting to be unique and individual."
In a an interview with Nylon magazine, Stern described her personal clothing style as "lady and the tramp," and, to some extent, M.R.S clothes ascribe to the same philosophy. Simple T-shirt jerseys are gussied up with ruched bustlines, held together with small strings of beads and sequins. Many of the seams are hand-sewn, with overlocking stitches on the outside of the garment, with asymmetrically cut hems, sleeves and necklines that create the kind of disheveled look that would be welcomed at a Paris fashion show.
M.R.S had its debut fashion show last spring at Barneys New York, and The New York Times called the clothes "a delight." Stern found herself inundated with orders -- more than 1,000 pieces were ordered from the collection -- meaning that Stern and her small team of six workers in Brooklyn had to work overtime to fill them.
Although M.R.S clothes are expensive (prices start at $60 for undershirts and go up to $5,000 for the couture dresses), there is such high demand for them, that Stern is now looking for investors to help her expand the company.
"I don't know one woman who hasn't at some point in her life spat at herself in the mirror because she didn't like the way she looks," Stern said. "My mission is to make that not happen anymore."
"If you feel good in your clothes, you can do anything," she continued. "If we can inspire a nation to feel satisfied and exude their unique sensuality or sexuality without it being obvious, then I think it is a really exciting idea."
M.R.S clothes are available at Barneys and Ron Herman (formally Fred Segal) in Los Angeles. Â

Peter Brownstein is not technically a scoutmaster, since his troop was disbanded shortly after an appearance at a local pride parade ended with a reprimand: "We are very disappointed that you used Scouting to advance the gay agenda," executives wrote at the time. No response as of yet to the impromptu pizza party. In any event, for Brownstein's 14-year-old Eagle Scout son, delivering ten Little Caesars pizzas to couples is "simply providing service."
