SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
To comply with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee Extension Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-188, 122 Stat. 635) (Act), the Commission is amending the TSR by updating the fees entities are charged for accessing the Registry as follows: The revised rule increases the annual fee for access to the Registry for each area code of data from $55 to $56 per area code; increases the fee per area code of data during the second six months of an entity's annual subscription period from $27 to $28; and increases the maximum amount that will be charged to any single entity for accessing area codes of data from $15,058 to $15,503.
These increases are in accordance with the Act, which specifies that beginning after fiscal year 2009, the dollar amounts charged shall be increased by an amount equal to the amounts specified in the Act, multiplied by the percentage (if any) by which the average of the monthly consumer price index (for all urban consumers published by the Department of Labor) ("CPI") for the most recently ended 12-month period ending on June 30 exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2008. The Act also states that any increase shall be rounded to the nearest dollar and that there shall be no increase in the dollar amounts if the change in the CPI is less than one percent. For fiscal year 2009, the Act specified that the original annual fee for access to the Registry for each area code of data was $54 per area code, or $27 per area code of data during the second six months of an entity's annual subscription period, and that the maximum amount that would be charged to any single entity for accessing area codes of data would be $14,850.
The determination whether a fee change is required and the amount of the fee change involves a two step process. First, to determine whether a fee change is required, we measure the change in the CPI from the time of the previous increase in fees. There was no change in the fees for fiscal year 2011 because last year, there was an increase in the CPI of 0.97 percent, which was under the one percent CPI change specified in the statute. Accordingly, we calculated the change in the CPI since we last changed the fee in fiscal year 2009, and the change was 3.00 percent. Because this change is over the 1 percent threshold, the fees will change for fiscal year 2012.
Second, to determine how much the fees should increase this fiscal year, we use the calculation specified by the Act set forth above, the percentage change in the baseline CPI applied to the original fees for fiscal year 2009. The average value of the CPI for July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008 was 211.702; the average value for July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 was 221.087, an increase of 4.4 percent. Applying the 4.4 percent increase to the base amount from fiscal year 2009, leads to an increase from $55 to $56 in the fee from last year for access to a single area code of data for a full year for fiscal year 2012. The actual amount is $56.38, but when rounded, pursuant to the Act, the amount is $56. The fee for accessing an additional area code for a half year increases to $28.19 (rounded to $28). The maximum amount charged increases to $15,503.40 (rounded to $15,503).
Administrative Procedure Act; Regulatory Flexibility Act; Paperwork Reduction Act Back to Top
The revisions to the Fee Rule are technical in nature and merely incorporate statutory changes to the TSR. These statutory changes have been adopted without change or interpretation, making public comment unnecessary. Therefore, the Commission has determined that the notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). For this reason, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act also do not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 603, 604.
Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521, the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") approved the information collection requirements in the Amended TSR and assigned the following existing OMB Control Number: 3084-0097. The amendments outlined in this Final Rule pertain only to the fee provision (§ 310.8) of the Amended TSR and will not establish or alter any record keeping, reporting, or third-party disclosure requirements elsewhere in the Amended TSR.
List of Subjects in 16 CFR Part 310 Back to Top
Accordingly, the Federal Trade Commission amends part 310 of title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations as follows:
PART 310—TELEMARKETING SALES RULE Back to Top
1.The authority citation for part 310 continues to read as follows:
2.Revise §§ 310.8(c) and (d) to read as follows:
§ 310.8 Fee for access to the National Do Not Call Registry.
* * * * *
(c) The annual fee, which must be paid by any person prior to obtaining access to the National Do Not Call Registry, is $56 for each area code of data accessed, up to a maximum of $15,503; provided, however, that there shall be no charge to any person for accessing the first five area codes of data, and provided further, that there shall be no charge to any person engaging in or causing others to engage in outbound telephone calls to consumers and who is accessing area codes of data in the National Do Not Call Registry if the person is permitted to access, but is not required to access, the National Do Not Call Registry under this Rule, 47 CFR 64.1200, or any other Federal regulation or law. Any person accessing the National Do Not Call Registry may not participate in any arrangement to share the cost of accessing the registry, including any arrangement with any telemarketer or service provider to divide the costs to access the registry among various clients of that telemarketer or service provider.
(d) Each person who pays, either directly or through another person, the annual fee set forth in § 310.8(c), each person excepted under § 310.8(c) from paying the annual fee, and each person excepted from paying an annual fee under § 310.4(b)(1)(iii)(B), will be provided a unique account number that will allow that person to access the registry data for the selected area codes at any time for the twelve month period beginning on the first day of the month in which the person paid the fee ("the annual period"). To obtain access to additional area codes of data during the first six months of the annual period, each person required to pay the fee under § 310.8(c) must first pay $56 for each additional area code of data not initially selected. To obtain access to additional area codes of data during the second six months of the annual period, each person required to pay the fee under § 310.8(c) must first pay $28 for each additional area code of data not initially selected. The payment of the additional fee will permit the person to access the additional area codes of data for the remainder of the annual period.
* * * * *
By direction of the Commission.

Kevin Denney It Don't Matter Lyrics
Last updated: 05/28/2003 11:56:40 PM
There's a month of sunday papers
In the weeds that's taken over
That ol' gravel driveway
And a quart of milk, half empty
Two weeks past the experation date
My face could stand a razor blade or two
Got a grown' list of things I oughta do
But it don't matter
Since I lost you
There's a cigarette burned sofa
That I try hard to sleep on
But I lay there for (Dm7) hours
Watching infomercials
Till it's time to get up, dress
And go to work
I used to take some pride in what I do
But now I got this don't care attitude
But, it don't matter
Since I lost you
Sympatheic friends of mine
Have worn out all the standard lines
It wasn't meant to be
You'll be O.K.
Just give it time
It don't matter
There's a girl I've known since high school
That's called a time or two here lately
To say let's get together
And reluctantly one evening
I agreed to meet her downtown for a date
By the way she looked at me, it's probably true
She'd like to be my somebody new
But it don't matter
I still love you
It don't matter
I still love you

I've been searching for freedom
I've been looking for someone
In the dreams of my heart, I see your face
Calling me into the light
You're the vision of beauty
You're so radiant and lovely
I just can't believe you're here with me
Your touch is my ectasy - my love
Looking into the future
We can see the beginning
Children living in peace and harmony
That is the way it will be

Terrebonne School Board increases property-tax rate
Published: Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 9:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 9:03 p.m.
HOUMA — Property owners in Terrebonne Parish will have their property taxes raised this year after the School Board voted to increase the tax rate to the maximum amount approved by voters.
The move is expected to bring in an additional $308,000 through the board's two property taxes, which already generate about $6.2 million.
The board approved the increase 6-2. Clark Bonvillain and Rickie Pitre voted against it. Richard "Dicky" Jackson was absent.
These taxes are levied at the end of the year. With both increases approved, the tax increase to the owner of a $150,000 homestead will be $3.30.

Washington, DC (April 8, 2005) — The Propane Education & Research Council met for its first face-to-face meeting in 2005, approving changes to PERC's Policies, Rules, and Procedures regarding the use of state rebate funds and receiving reports from each of its advisory committees as well as an update on the industry's consumer education campaign.
The changes to PERC's Policies, Rules, and Procedures came following a month-long industry and public comment period. The proposed changes were developed by a task force created in December by Council Chairman David Lugar that was led by Councilor Tom Nunan, Suburban Propane (Oceanside, CA), one of the Council's original members who is celebrating his 50th year in the propane industry.
"PERC was created to fund projects and programs that an individual company could not reasonably or affordably on their own," Nunan said. "These rebate program changes bring the rules and procedures more in line with the original intent of the Council."
The changes focus the use of rebate funds to training programs that are specific to the propane industry rather than teaching general business skills. The new rules prohibit rebate funds from being used for general sponsorships of state association conventions and paying expenses for not more than one state representative at specific industry conventions. In addition, the Council authorized PERC's president to approve rebate requests that replicate other projects previously approved by the Council.
In addition to receiving progress reports from the agriculture, research and development, and safety and training mission areas, as well as a report from the Engine Fuel Coordinating Committee, the Consumer Education Advisory Committee updated councilors on the Energy Guys campaign. The 2005 campaign's television efforts launched during February's Daytona 500, while three new "Ask Propane" radio advertisements will go on the air in mid-April. New print advertisements featuring the Energy Guys are being run in national home planning magazines this spring. Visits to usepropane.com continued to increase following the launch of television advertising. In March 2005, 45,964 visits were recorded to the site, an improvement over the 30,979 visits recorded in March 2004.
Representatives from Energy and Environmental Analysis, Inc. (Arlington, VA), reported their findings thus far as part of the Market Metrics Initiative, the comprehensive analytical effort undertaken by the propane industry. The Market Metrics presentation centered on a discussion of ways to improve the accuracy of the number of gallons of propane sold as reported in the American Petroleum Institute's Natural Gas Liquids and Liquefied Refinery Gases Survey.
"Participation in the API survey is one of the most important things marketers can do for the industry," said PERC President Roy Willis. "The propane industry has worked over the past few years to improve the statistical analysis of the API survey, but now, the best way we can continue to improve the yearly measurements is to get 100 percent participation from every marketer in every state across the country."
In other Council business, new Council members Doug Auxier, president, Auxier Gas (Batavia, OH), and George Koloroutis, vice president of supply and distribution, Ferrell North America (Houston, TX), were introduced.
The Council approved funding for the following grants:
Industry ProgramsDocket 11646 – 2005 Milford Therrell Award, Propane Education & Research Council, $25,000
Information TechnologyDocket 11723 – GMS Modifications, Propane Education & Research Council, $36,800
Research and DevelopmentDocket 11688 – Distributed Generation Project Development -2005, Propane Education & Research Council, $92,000
Safety and TrainingDocket 11663 – Propane Emergencies Phase 7, Propane Education & Research Council, $174,500Docket 11689 – Operations and Maintenance Manual, Propane Education & Research Council, $123,660
State RebatesThe Council approved 48 state rebates from 28 states totaling more than $1.5 million. Of that amount, over $450,000 in Consumer Education Partnership with States Program funds (matching dollars) were granted to 16 states.
The Council will next meet on June 2-3 in Rancho Mirage, CA.

As in many other cities, when the sun sets a new city wakes up.
I definitely recommend a stroll by night in Paris. You will have the
chance to see the monuments' other face. In some cases the night view
is much more spectacular. Paris is considered a safe city. You should
not have any problem in the main tourist areas. The only ones which
are not recommended to visit by night are the 'Halles', were most
of drug trafic is carried out, and the 'Bastille'.
We will now take a look at some places to eat in Paris, and then
visit the city by night ...

VIENNA - Vienna City Council passed a resolution to do an environmental study review of a property at 2905 Third Ave.
Council members went into an executive session Thursday but said no action was taken during the session.
After the session, council approved the allocation of $35,000 for an environmental study review to be done on the Johns Manville property.

Vienna City Councilman Roger Bibbee, left, and Councilman Jim Miracle listen to council comments at Thursday night's meeting.
Councilman Bruce Rogers said he was for providing the funds for the study.
"The only reason why I'd be for this is that if some time in the future the property was purchased by someone and that would be annexed into the city," he said. "I would like to know if there were any environmental pollutants or problems with that property."
In other business:?
* Councilman Paul Thornton helped the mayor recognize a restaurant in Vienna.
"The city of Vienna is very pleased to have you," Thornton said of Cheddars Restaurant on Grand Central Avenue. "You are certainly an asset."
Cheddars was recognized for receiving the 2012 best full-service restaurant with a number one ranking, he said.
* The second reading elevating the floodplain for the city will be at the next council meeting on Sept. 12.
Pond Run is Vienna's main concern in the ordinance; however, several properties on the Ohio River would also be affected. The new base flood elevation would be adapted as two feet.
Rob Rush, the city's building inspector, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency is becoming stricter on the city's flood ordinances. Insurance rates are rising and he said keeping those down by following the model ordinance will help.
* A traffic safety ordinance was also approved on a second reading. The ordinance amended Vienna city code 30502 with the authority of the mayor, along with the police chief, to change and erect traffic signals near intersections that are determined to pose a danger to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
* Stephanie Broffman, a part-time employee for Vienna, was hired to work with Human Resources for the city. She will report to Mayor Randy Rapp, he said. Linda Kern was hired as the administrative assistant to the city.
* Rapp discussed a story before the council meeting. He said he received a phone call last week from an elderly woman who he intended on helping with a stinky situation.
"She said, 'mayor I'm 85 years old and I'm confined to a wheelchair,'" he said. "She said she had a dead skunk in her yard and couldn't get anyone to help her."
Craig Metz, public works director, was called to assist.
Rapp said he called the woman back to inform her people would be on their way, but before he could get his sentence out she told the mayor the men had already come by and took care of the problem.
"You did a great thing and she was very appreciative," Rapp said of Metz and the others who helped.

Carrie Underwood Donates $1 Million for Oklahoma Tornado Relief
Carrie Underwood could not help but be deeply affected by the recent tornadoes that ripped through her home state of Oklahoma. That's why Carrie has pledged a donation of one million dollars to the American Red Cross to help the victims of those devastating storms. The charitable contribution will be derived from the proceeds of her Blown Away Tour.
"I have watched the devastation in my home state of Oklahoma over the past several days with great sadness," Carrie said in a release. "With the help of my fans who attended my concerts over the past year, we can offer the Red Cross a little extra help comforting those affected by the recent tornadoes."
Carrie made the announcement as she wrapped up the Blown Away tour, which has traveled the globe over the last year. She tweeted to thank her fans for coming out to the shows and making the donation possible.
And thanks to all who came to a show during this entire tour! I hope you all feel great about the Red Cross contribution that WE made today!— Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood) May 24, 2013
This contribution to disaster relief will help people affected by such disasters as tornadoes, floods and other crises.

Weather Journal: More Record Temps Could Fall
A warm front overcomes Greater New York on Friday, leading to a steamy weekend with triple digit heat indexes and challenging record highs for the second time in as many weeks.
The second heat wave of the past 10 days will bake the region through the early part of next week, taxing air conditioners and ice cream shops across the tri-state. The National Weather Service has hoisted a Heat Advisory for the five boroughs as well as urban New Jersey until Saturday evening when the worst of the heat is expected to subside. However, heat indexes in the mid-90s will continue until at least Tuesday. Further south and west, more than 27 states will be feeling similarly fried as air quality warnings and sweltering heat extends all the way to Texas as part of the largest heat outbreak so far in 2012.
On Wednesday, nearly 200 new high temperature records were broken across the country — some dating back to the dust bowl era of the 1930s. These new records added to the more than 1,000 records that had already fallen over the past week. Many more are expected to fall before the end of the weekend, stretching as far northeast as the tri-state. So far in 2012, record highs have outpaced record lows by a six-to-one margin across the country, further underscoring the magnitude of what is shaping up to be the nation's warmest year ever. Newark's forecasted high on Friday is 102, which would beat the previously warmest June 29th by two degrees (set in 1959).
Western wildfires continue to rage
Thanks to near-perfect fire weather conditions, the Waldo Canyon fire which is located on the outskirts of Colorado Springs has quickly grown into the most destructive fire in Colorado history, burning at least 346 homes as of Thursday afternoon. In little more than a day, the growing fire has out-destroyed the still ongoing High Park fire outside of Ft. Collins, which took more than a month to do a similar amount of damage. The outlook for reduced fire growth across the West was looking a little more positive on Thursday, the first day this week that rain clouds were in the area. President Obama is expected to visit Colorado Springs to tour the fire ravaged region on Friday.
Smoke from the Colorado fires has traveled the jetstream and is expected to arrive in Greater New York on Friday, possibly adding to the intensity of local sunsets. The smoke is expected to stay in the upper atmosphere and will not pose any health risks.

Revised September 2007
This online document describes a variety of experiences and resources associated with Undergraduate Programs and Courses in the Mathematical Sciences: CUPM Curriculum Guide 2004, and it follows the organization in Parts I and II of the Guide. As a major part of the development of this document, CUPM made a broad request for reports on experiences from individuals who had implemented various ideas discussed in earlier drafts of CUPM Guide 2004, including specific requests to departments with large numbers of majors and/or recent NSF or FIPSE awards for curricular projects. (See Appendix 1 of CUPM Guide 2004 for additional details on the gathering of information.) There was a large response to the CUPM request, and thanks are due to the many mathematics faculty who gave generously of their time and wisdom. The contributed examples, experiences and resources were instrumental in developing this section, and they provided evidence that the CUPM recommendations are indeed feasible. References to many of these contributions are made in this document.
The experiences described here and the associated resources are far from exhaustive. They were not endorsed by CUPM, nor is there an implication that they represent better practice than other implementations not included here. Rather they are offered as experiences and ideas that appear interesting and may serve as a starting point for those considering enhancement of components of their department's programs.
CUPM invites all members of the mathematical sciences community to report on additional resources they have successfully used or developed to work toward the recommendations in this guide. Please click here to obtain a submission form.
Revised versions of ILLUSTRATIVE RESOURCES for CUPM Guide 2004 (known as CUPM-IR) will replace this version approximately once a year on the MAA website at www.maa.org/cupm/.
Most entries in CUPM-IR include a web address; it may link to a site containing further material or it may provide a means of contacting a person or department for additional information. An annotated bibliography with additional reference information is at the end of the document. The links in these resources were all operational as of mid-August 2007. In case of difficulty using one, there are several possible reasons, each of which has a potential remedy.
1. Sometimes the server is simply busy or being worked on for an hour or a day or so. In this case the remedy is simply to try again later.
2. Sometimes the URL for a given link has changed, usually because the website for the supporting institution has been restructured. One possible remedy is to google the name of the item (program, article title, course name and/or number of the syllabus, etc.), possibly together with the name of the institution, and try to identify the new URL from the listing that appears. Another remedy is to go to the website of the department connected with the item and search for the item among the department's webpages. Yet another remedy is to do an 'Advanced Searchâ? on the name of the item but restrict the search to the domain name of the institution in which the item is likely to be located (e.g., umich.edu).
3. Sometimes the item is no longer available through a current URL. In this case, it is often possible to find the original webpage by using the WayBackMachine: www.webarchive.org. Insert the URL for the address given in the Illustrative Resources, and from the listing of dates that appears click on various ones to find the desired item.

Snow's Fantasy Blog
Tuesday, 11.7.2006 / 12:00 AM ET / News
Buffalo Sabres | Press Release
Without question, one of the most enjoyable aspects of fantasy sports are the trades. Everybody thinks they are a wannabe Darcy Regier. Sure, it's fun to prepare for the draft. And nothing beats seeing your team win in a given week. But there's something satisfying and strangely rewarding about making a trade with your fantasy team.
You know what I'm talking about. Who cares about productivity and job safety? Taking home a weekly pay check suddenly plays second fiddle to making that all-important move guaranteed to make your team a playoff contender. Of course, there's always the post-dinner conversation with your wife where you inform her of your good fortune. But even when she gives you the "I could care less what you're telling me" look, nothing will kill the buzz you've had all day.
However, there is someone that will get in the way of this unexplainable rush. Say hello to the owners in your league who feel the need to ruin your trading mood. While you want nothing more than to improve your struggling roster, they believe there's nothing wrong with standing pat or asking for the world.
That's right; I'm calling out fantasy owners around the world. You know exactly who you are. While the majority of us are in this for fun, you are the ones who make our lives difficult. Not sure who I'm referring to? Let's meet some of these fantasy offenders:
Mr. I'm Asking for the World: Outrageous offers are a polite way of describing what you'll get from this owner. While you want nothing more than a solid deal that will improve your squad, he will settle for nothing less than an all-out fleecing. Put forth a fairly respectable offer, and he fires back an email that says "NO WAY! HE'S GOING TO SCORE 200 POINTS ONE DAY. YOU'LL HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT." This is the same guy who thought that Chris Drury was legitimately on-pace for an 82-goal season.
Mr. No Response: It does take some time to come up with a sensible offer. Insult another owner and risk never making a deal with them again. But in my mind, there's nothing more annoying than an owner who ignores a trade offer. You may not like it, but at least acknowledge my supposed shortcomings. Within 24 hours would be a good start. By season's end, this is the same owner who's dumping his assets for draft picks so that he can start this vicious cycle all over again.
Mr. Counter-Offer Challenged: A first-cousin of Mr. No Response. You don't like my offer? Then how about sending something in return.
Mr. Analytical: It doesn't matter what you say, this guy will always attempt to spin the numbers in his favor. There's an owner in my league who's famous for using meaningless stats to support his arguments. Let's call him "TJ." More often than not, "TJ" will cut and paste stats and commentary from numerous roto sites to back-up his offers. "TJ" has an unhealthy obsession with Marek Svatos and Pavel Datsyuk, and he will go to great lengths to explain why you should give up your first born to have one of them on your team. In the end, his argument bores me to death and I move on to someone with a clue.
Two wins and a tie last week has "Strange Brew" in 3rd spot in my division with a record of 8-3-4 after five weeks. I solidified my defense by acquiring Ed Jovanovski and Joffrey Lupul in exchange for Joe Corvo and Wojtek Wolski. I preferred Jovanovski's experience over Corvo, who had five of his eight points in one game. Even though I had previously raved about the highly-touted rookie Wolski, I just couldn't pass up the chance to get a player like Lupul who has played almost 20 minutes a game over the last week.
With his assist on Daniel Briere's game-winning goal in Sunday's 4-3 OT win over the NY Rangers, Buffalo's Drew Stafford became just the second player in National Hockey League history to pick up his first NHL point in the overtime period of his NHL debut. Tim Sweeney first accomplished this feat with Calgary on October 4/90.
*Keep your eye on ... Paul Stastny. The 20-year-old son of Hall of Famer Peter Stastny ranks third among NHL rookie scoring leaders in assists (9) and points (12). Stastny scored seven points (2+5) in a five-game point streak from Oct. 21-Nov. 1, and finished with 10 points in October -- the second-highest scoring total by an Avalanche rookie in the month of October since Marek Svatos had 11 last season.
*A big hello goes out to the Medaille College student who reworked his entire fantasy team around the sleeper picks I wrote about in my first column. Good luck, just don't come looking for me when your team goes in the tank in mid-season.
We're only three games into the season, and Jason Pominville is already making me look like a genius. Okay, genius may be a little strong. But I can't help but brag after stealing the burgeoning Sabres sniper in the 8th (and final) round of my fantasy league draft. How he lasted that long was a shock to me, considering that Pittsburgh's Colby Armstrong was taken an astounding 46 picks earlier.
Pominville has two goals on eight shots in Buffalo's first three games. Five of those shots came in Saturday's 4-3 win over Ottawa when he scored the game winner, and was second among Sabres forwards with 19:19 of ice time. Things should only get better for Pominville since he now finds himself riding shotgun with Daniel Briere. The 23-year-old Pominville scored a combined 37 goals in 75 games with Rochester and Buffalo last season, including a five-goal game prior to his promotion. The kid can flat out score, and should be a must-have in any fantasy league.
Here are some other players that may have been overlooked on draft day:
Alex Auld (Florida) -- If his 47 save performance on Monday in Toronto didn't open any eyes then nothing will. Even if Ed Belfour stays healthy, Auld should play a majority of the Panthers games this season.
Kyle Wellwood (Toronto) -- He won't score a lot, but his playmaking skills won't go unnoticed on Toronto's top line. Wellwood has six points in Toronto's first four games, including a four-assist performance last Thursday in Ottawa.
Wojtek Wolski (Colorado) -- Just one year removed from the OHL, Wolski started the season on the Avs second line. He's also seen limited power play duty, and has responded with a pair of goals. Look for big things from Wolski, as his ice time will only increase as the season goes on.
Matt Carle (San Jose) -- Carle won the Hobey Baker winner with the University of Denver last season, and is already being touted as a Calder Trophy candidate. In Monday's win over Calgary, he played more than 20 minutes and led all Sharks blueliners in power play ice time.
Duvie Westcott (Columbus) -- With Bryan Berard on the shelf, Westcott finds himself quarterbacking the league's number one power play unit in Columbus. Westcott has points in all three games so far, including one power play marker.
Alexander Semin (Washington) -- After two years in Russia, Semin has returned with a bang. Semin has four goals in three games including a hat trick in the opener. Playing with Ovechkin won't hurt, but jump on him early because he's never played more than 52 games in any single season.

Rated 5 out of 5 by smileyplane from Comfy bag, roomy and warm. I bought this bag and took it on an overnighter where the temps dropped to the high 20's. This bag kept me toasty warm and it lofts nicely! Love the color too. It also give an extra inch or two in the shoulders and hips allowing me to bend my knee and spread out compared to other mummy bags. that is very important to me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Toots from warm and comfortable Tested at home: warm and comfortable - very soft with an extra ridge at neck area to close in warmth. Enough room for shoulders. It is possible to move around while sleeping. The zipper is sturdy and easy to move - have to watch though to make sure it does not catch on the inner lining. As light as it could be given its mission.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ginny from great slipping bag Recently bought this sleeping bag. I slept outside last week-end (Quebec-Lanaudiere area). It`s warm, comfy. I could not ask for better. I would propose different color instead of just one. I would have bought another color. Do not fancy much pink/purple....

Eleven local senior citizens will be honored today before a sellout crowd in Palm Desert.
Upward of 600 people are expected to attend the 21st Senior Inspiration Awards lunch at 11:30 a.m. at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa. Brooke Beare and Patrick Evans of CBS Local 2 will serve as masters of ceremonies.
This year's honorees are: Betty Gorey and Ron Hare (Riverside County), Milton Katz (Cathedral City), Maria Consuelo Godwin (Coachella), Trudi Lain (Desert Hot Springs), Mel Barton (Indian Wells), Betty James (Indio), Phyllis Stuchul (La Quinta), Brett Romer (Palm Desert), Burt Spivack (Palm Springs) and Cal Custer (Rancho Mirage).
The county and the Coachella Valley's nine cities each pick someone 70 or older who "demonstrates a zest for physical and mental well-being through volunteerism and active engagement in the community," according to Supervisor John Benoit. The recognition was started by former Supervisor Corky Larson in 1992.
"The Coachella Valley is fortunate to have a senior population that is so active in our community. I am proud to see this tradition continue into its 21st year," Benoit said.

feeling a little guilty
I was so blown away by the file quality when shooting with the D3x and photographing the Bobcat, I quickly posted the images. A week later, we've not seen the Bobcat again and I still don't have a D3x. I did though have a day off to go through my images with non-blurry eyes and wow, I am really impressed by the files from the D3x. Now my computer screams bloody murder as I try to push the huge files through, the final results are stunning. I thought I would post this example because I just can't believe what I'm seeing.
Now if you look above, you'll see the red box for the area of the image I've cropped to produce the lower image. You can count the needles on that branch. I'm still amazed by this quality!

Every year they come. Every year they go. Every year it's the same. Every year its's different. I'm talking about the seasonal workers who come to York in summer from countries as far removed as China and Lithuania, Jordan and Thailand, Turkey and the Dominican Republic. In winter, they come here from Brazil and Colombia as well. This summer there were more than 50 international students here along with a significant number of visiting workers from Jamaica. I say 50 because that is the number of bicycles that the York Diversity Forum issued to visiting students over the course of the summer but many others never contacted the Diversity Forum about the bicycle program.
Pat Conner, chair of the Seasonal Workers Program Committee of the Diversity Forum, told me about a couple of the businesses that had helped to make the students feel so welcomed. Joe Lipton, owner of Inn on the Blues, was singled out for a welcome party he hosted just as the students were settling in to their home and jobs in York. Right after that, Felicity and Bob Lago of Fun-O-Rama opened their door to the students providing them with a wonderful meal and an enjoyable night in June. These two events made it possible for students, who would never know each other at home, Bosnians and Serbians for example, to meet and make friends.
The 2012 crop of seasonal workers found employment at places like the Cutty Sark, Bill Foster's and the Anchorage. Let me tell you about two Serbian students, Nemanja and Milica, who worked in all three of these businesses. I asked about their job searches. This is how Milica described it: at first they had jobs (as required by their visas) but no shifts (and no pay), so they began looking for other opportunities.
"We asked at a billion places," she told me, "not asking for salary, just to fill our time."
After two weeks, they got shift work at the Cutty Sark Motel.
"From that moment," she said, "everything started to be better."
Then their wider searching paid off and they got shift work at Foster's Downeast Clambake. Still, there was too much free time for them, so they decided to pursue jobs at the Anchorage. They got those jobs, too. For the rest of the summer they worked all three jobs almost every day. All of them in hospitality, which was great for Milica because she is studying tourism at her university. Nemanja is a finance and banking major in Belgrade.
"It's all like a practice for me," Milica said. "I enjoyed it."
Their morning shifts at the Cutty generally ran until noon. They then rode their bikes from the beach to Foster's, where they did food preparation until 5:30.
Following that shift, they rode to the Anchorage for the evening shift until 10. Some weeks they worked 70 hours. Just before they left for Serbia last weekend, I got to interview them again. I asked them to tell me more.
"In spring, we were hurrying to finish all of our exams, to make the dream come true of visiting that great country across the ocean," Milica said.
And what was their experience of that great country?
"Nothing but kindness and people ready to help," they told me.
I reminded them that people come to York in summer for vacation.
"I think you and Nemanja need a vacation, Milica," I said.
Her reply: "No, it's fine. We came here to work."
Then came the kicker: "We want to be sure that people who come for holidays have clean rooms to sleep in and good food to eat."
I wondered how many American college students would have responded this way. The attitude demonstrated by these young people was what every employer must hope for.
I spoke to a couple of merchants in town who hire foreign and local students to ask about their experience with students from abroad.
"I have applications from American kids," one told me, "but often they have no experience. They've never worked before or if they have worked, they have unrealistic expectations about what they will be paid or when we will need them to work."
The students who come from overseas mostly just want to work and it's no bed of roses for them. However, as you can see from Nemanja and Milica, they persist. There is the lesson for anyone seeking summer work: persistence and a positive attitude are a winning combination.
Ron McAllister is a sociologist and writer who lives in York. He is currently a candidate for the Maine House of Representatives.

Noontime Recollection
Meditation groups perform an invaluable service. What more can be done during the present world emergency? Let us touch all human hearts anew with love, so that those who know will love and give. Let us give love ourselves. Let us join in the common task of leading humanity into the fields of peace. The white magic of group work can use mantric sound to attract money for spiritual work. In the past, crude forms of mantrams have been used to get money for individuals. Because of developed mental power we can now use mantrams for group purposes, to meet the need of humanity as a whole.
One of the more recent groups in the Hierarchy for a specific purpose has been called the financial group. This group has been an outstanding success, inspiring the use of money for philanthropic work all over the world. Here we have humanity aiding humanity, a great spiritual step forward. Now we are entering a new cycle of action by this financial group. There are now enough disciples exemplifying selflessness, harmlessness and right speech so that they can be trusted to use money rightly for spiritual purposes.
We are entering a new age of abundant money for the work of Hierarchy and the Christ. The evil result of misuse of money is one of the main causes of the death of our civilisation. Our continuing world crisis is more and more focussing on economic factors. The door is now wide open for each one of us to cooperate with this new age action by the financial group in Hierarchy.
It's said that the motivating purpose behind the use of this mantram is the free circulation of energy between the three planetary centres Humanity, the Hierarchy and Shamballa. And it is free circulation of energy which can break up the crystallised money energy in the world, passing it out of the control of the forces of Materialism and into the control of the Forces of Light.

Taking My 3 Year Old Out For Lessons.
I am taking my son out for the first time this weekend to teach him how to ride. I am excited to pass on my knowlege to the little guy. I've taught many adults to ride but never a toddler. I want this to be enjoyable for him and I don't want him to get turned off. I bought him a Burton After School Special 100cm (he's tall for his age) for his birthday. I'd like to think I know everything but I don't. I really could use some advice. Here's what I've done so far to prep him:
1) Last winter I had him slide down a gentle slope by the house with an old Premier snowskate (with some hand holding from me)
2) Dry runs in the house with his new board. I had him strap in and jump around with the board on his feet to get comfortable with his feet attached to a board. He jumps around fine but has a hard time getting back on his feet when he falls on his butt. Pretty sure this will be excacerbated on the snow.
3) He has seen me board a few times last season. And I've made it a point to where a helmet, pads and goggles so that he can see its normal to wear protective gear.
He is like most toddlers. If something scares him, he will be reluctant to do it. But when he does, he can't get enough.
The resort we are going to put up a toddlers run last year. It has a real gentle slope to learn on. If anyone has any advice they can give me I would greatly appreciate it.
I haven't taught my kid to ride yet because I started him on skis first, so I can't give any technical advice, but just some general stuff.
The biggest thing is to just make it fun and add some stuff to the experience that makes it fun besides just riding (i.e. hot chocolate afterwards or a mini snowball fight as a break).
When my son first started on skis at 3 he enjoyed it but lost interest pretty quick when he got tired. Part of me wanted to convince him to keep going since we made the trip up to the mountain, but it was better to not push it and just ensure he enjoyed his time at the mountain even if he didn't ski a ton at first.
If you can, get a little video of him riding. My son loved, and still loves, seeing videos of him on the hill. It's good to reinforce how much fun he had and motivate him for the next time.
That's all I got. Have fun and good luck!
Have fun....reverse situation....my 18 yr old daughter (we learned to ride together 10 years ago), anyway she just took me out for my first bc splitty adventure...she was very patient, kept it positive, just gave me pointers, didn't get frustrated and we had a blast.
Take lots of breaks, focus on fun, expect to only get a little time on the hill. Don't get too far away from where you start, turn back while the kid is still fresh so he's still got some gas for the walk from the bunny hill back to the lodge for that hot chocolate.
The kid is stoked about going he keeps asking me about it every day.
A bit more
I would just like to tack on a few things to what snowolf said (which was excellent by the way) and yes FUN is the only important thing here (well after safety)
1: be prepared for a very short day, and thats ok!
2: Keep in mind maslows mountain, it basically says that if the base needs are not met, we will not learn. so too cold, hungry, scared... etc fix that before anything else
3: one thing some kids like, and you will now better than me for your kid, is falling, they find it hilarious. Where i teach we have a surface conveyor that takes you up a very mellow hill, and some of our youngest kids LOVE falling into the fresh snow on the side of the groom. How does this help you? Start them in the middle, then you lead by turning into the fresh snow and falling and laughing, if they follow, they are learning to turn, and laughing!
Thanks Bear. Good ideas.
Hoping to get him out by Christmas. Mother nature is finally cooperating.
Just a follow up. Got my boy out to the slopes finally and I would say it was a fairly successful outing. I kept it very light hearted and let him set the pace. He would go down the hill about 3 or 4 times then tell me he was done. I would them unnstrap him and let him play in the snow. Then a little later he'd decided he wants to ride some more. I was amazed how well he was able to stay up. After a couple rides he kept demanding I let go of him and let him ride without my help. Very proud of the little booger. :D
After he was done we went into the lodge and he enjoyed some hot chocolate and snickerdoodles.
Thanks so much to everyone for the good advice.
um...Im almost 40 and I get pretty damn stoked on 3 inches of air :dunno: then again Im a midget so that's like half my height...
thanks for the tips. Im gonna be teaching a 7 year old soon. He skateboards and does Aikido weekly so that should help. However we probably have zero acess to snow until we get to the resort. Any dry land 'games' I can start him with or just have him keep skateboarding?

CSR, the Cambridge-based chipmaker, warned of "increasing economic uncertainty and weakness in some areas of the handset market" as it reported a slide in revenues for the first half of the year.
Group turnover fell 9.1 per cent to $357.8m in the period, with revenue from the handset business – primarily derived from sales of Bluetooth chips – down by more than a fifth. However, the shares rose as the results proved better than the most pessimistic expectations. "It could have been a horror show," one analyst said.
Pre-tax profit fell 62 per cent to $8.5m, but the company said there had been an improvement in the second quarter when one-off items were stripped out.
"Our business has been resilient in the second quarter, with underlying operating profit reflecting the strong gross margin and our lower operating expenses," said Joep van Beurden, chief executive. CSR was making progress in diversifying its revenue base, he added, with almost two-thirds of sales now coming from other areas such as audio semiconductors and chips for use in car navigation systems.
He said the company expected to complete the $484m acquisition of Zoran, the US technology group, in the third quarter. CSR cut its offer from $679m last month after a sales warning from Zoran. The takeover has met an unenthusiastic response from investors: CSR's shares fell nearly 10 per cent when the proposed deal was first announced in February.
However, Mr van Beurden insisted that it would "bring us strategic benefits", and that "the response we've had from our shareholders has been positive".
Analysts welcomed the second-quarter revenue of $193.9m, which was ahead of the consensus forecast of $191m. They said the company's revenue guidance of $200m-$220m for the third quarter was disappointing, however.
Alex Jarvis, at Peel Hunt, said CSR had proved relatively resilient during a "torrid time" for the semiconductor industry, but added that the Zoran acquisition had added to investors' doubts about the company. While the shares were among the cheapest in the sector, she said, "investors may have to wait twelve months for a turnaround".
The company will begin mass production next year of a new chip that combines Bluetooth and Wifi functions, and expected this to help CSR break into the smartphone market. CSR chips are used in only one smartphone – Samsung's Galaxy SII model – and its handset division derives most of its income from selling chips for downmarket "feature phones" produced by companies such as Nokia, which has suffered falling sales.
Eoin Lambe, at Liberum Capital, said Mr van Beurden had done well to develop CSR's business beyond handsets. "Without that diversification, they would be in a lot of trouble right now," he said. But the company may have temporarily "missed the boat" through its hesitation in moving into smartphones, he added. "It's a generation behind some of its peers."
Earnings per share declined from 9 cents to 6 cents.

No, I'm afraid Minix doesn't have an NFS client implementation. Also,
without a VFS it'd be pretty horrible to implement.

It could be up to six months before charges are laid in the motor vehicle crash that claimed the life of a cyclist on Sea Island at the end of July.
According to RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Annie Linteau, that's not an unusual length of time required to ensure investigators with the force's ICARS (Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service) have completed a comprehensive analysis prior to submitting it to Crown Counsel for charge approval.
On July 30 Christy Mahy, 36, was on her bike during the late afternoon waiting at the intersection of Russ Baker Way and Gilbert Road when a Pontiac Aztek heading north on Russ Baker Way drove into her.
Mahy later died in hospital.
Linteau said that while she cannot speak to specifics of this case, ICARS must gather evidence from a variety of sources and enlist the assistance of experts in the course of an investigation.
"These things can take a long time to complete," she said, adding, "It's important that a complete package of information is submitted to Crown Counsel."
Traffic cameras at the intersection will be of no help as they don't record images.
ICARs' caseload can also be a factor in the length of time for investigations to be wrapped up, Linteau said.
According to information posted on the RCMP's provincial website for B.C., ICARS is comprised of 22 employees — two support staff and 20 officers — and is responsible for investigating all vehicle collisions that result in serious injury or death in the RCMP's Lower Mainland District. That includes 19 communities stretching from North Vancouver to Hope.
Figures show that in the 2012/2013 reporting period, ICARS responded to 227 calls — 13 of those were from Richmond.
Richmond City Coun. Derek Dang, who is also chair of the Community Safety Committee, said that while the investigation's completion is something he'd like to see done as soon as possible, "if it's not out of the realm of normal procedures, it's hard to criticize," Dang said.
"They (RCMP) want to make sure that whatever charges are suggested that they stick," Dang added. "Quite frankly, it does seem like a long time. And it's a tough one for the family who, I am sure, would want some resolution to this."
