|County supes OK creation of Sonoma Clean Power Authority
The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors and Water Agency Board of Directors approved several actions to move forward with the development of a Community Choice Aggregation Program (Sonoma Clean Power) in Sonoma County.
The Sonoma Clean Power Program would allow one or more cities and/or counties to purchase and provide power generation services to customers within a defined service area.
Board of Supervisors and Water Agency Chair Shirlee Zane said, "The steps taken today by our Board will move us forward with developing the final pieces needed to make a determination regarding the Sonoma Clean Power Program. Sonoma Clean Power can provide multiple benefits to our community. These include greenhouse gas reductions resulting from greener, less carbon-intensive energy sources as well as job creation through the implementation of local efficiency and power projects, and local control."
The Board approved creating a Joint Powers Authority while creating the Sonoma Clean Power Authority.
The five members of the Board of Supervisors and Water Agency Board of Directors will initially act as the directors of the authority until additional municipalities decide to participate in the authority.
The water agency will continue to provide staffing services during the interim period until the Sonoma Clean Power Program becomes operational and the authority generates funding.
The board approved adopting an ordinance authorizing implementation of a Community Choice Aggregation Program. Before a program can be implemented in a particular jurisdiction, California law requires the entity electing to implement the program to do so by adoption of an ordinance.
The board approved a $50,000 funding agreement with the Marin Energy Authority to provide consulting services to the Sonoma Clean Power Authority during the upcoming program process. The Marin Energy Authority is a Community Choice Aggregation Program that has been successfully launched in Marin County.
The agreement will allow the Sonoma Clean Power Authority to have the benefit of Marin's experience and information during the implementation process.
The Sonoma Clean Power Program would allow one or more cities and/or counties to form a service area that provides for the purchase of power generation of customers within that service area. Transmission, distribution, customer service and billing remain the same, delivered through the existing utility (PG&E).
Customers within this service area can opt out of participating in the Program and continue to receive their power generation services through the existing utility. Some of the benefits of the Sonoma Clean Power Program include:
• Increased renewable energy use: The Program can choose to develop and deliver increased levels of renewable power.
• Local economic benefits: Stimulate the local economy by emphasizing the purchase of locally generated renewable power. Utility revenues could remain local rather than be sent to a distant utility and shareholders.
• Local control: The governing board of the Program would be comprised of local elected officials.
• Substantial greenhouse gas reduction: By providing increased levels of renewable energy a Program can result in significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions for the service area.
Learn more about Sonoma Clean Power at www.sonomacountywater.org/cca or contact Program Manager Cordel Stillman at 547-1900 or email@example.com.

Porterhouse Brewing Co. Oyster Stout
Top 10 Irish Beers
Porterhouse Brewing Co. Oyster Stout
Established in 1996, Porterhouse is Ireland's largest independent brewery. Beginning with a Dublin pub, the company now operates bars as far afield as New York and London, bringing their craft brews beyond the Emerald Isle's shores. Porterhouse Brewing Company makes a varied range of stouts, ales, lagers, seasonal and specialty beers, including their popular oyster stout. The name is not a misnomer. While not all oyster stouts are actually made with the bivalve mollusk — some were simply designated as such because pubs served them with oysters — Porterhouse actually shucks fresh oysters into the conditioning tank. Fortunately, you won't find them floating in your pint, but you should get a hint of their flavor — not full on, as if you were eating fresh seafood, but more subtly, as in Asian foods made with oyster sauce. The result may not be your typical Irish stout, but it still has the characteristic rounded malt flavors, creamy mouthfeel and smooth finish. Vegetarians beware!

San Antonio Spurs rookie Kyle Anderson was a guest on ESPN and spoke on becoming a Spur… something he always wanted.
Anderson spoke a lot about San Antonio, including his love of their system, their postseason march to title No. 5, and much more. He also spoke on being compared to Boris Diaw and flat out said he likes the comparison.
Interesting to note, he mentioned his first telephone conversation with head coach Gregg Popovich and how Pop didn't tease him as well as how he is going to handle the big NBA money coming his way.

Adobe Illustrator should have been in there. But at least my second choice (Inkscape) was.
Been using openscad for creating 3D object for my 3D Printer.
Being focused on photography lately, i have GIMP open almost all day long. I have used it for everything, including to prepare for print pictures that were part of some exibitions.
Inkscape is a close second, not using it on a daily basis (I don't earn my livind as a designer, do that only in my spare time) but not far from that, let's say I am using it several times a week.
Kdenlive is a third, I do video editing once in a while, but when I do it, Kdenlive is the tool of choice.
I want to add my appreciation to MyPaint, I love that tool, but I use it only rarely. Still, love it, it has a wonderful feeling, like real drawing.

Steven Martin, of Natural Encounters, leads a seminar on training birds on May 10, 2008 at Fairlington Presbyterian Church in Alexandria, Va. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The seminar is hosted by Phoenix Landing, a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer organization that promotes the welfare of parrots.
Martin is one of the best-known animal trainers in the world and has entertained audiences for years by showing off the natural abilities of parrots and other birds while also educating the audience on conservation issues. He's on the board of the World Parrot Trust and works with zoos along with his conservation work.
"The event is filling up fast," said Ann Brooks, president and founder of Phoenix Landing. She's attended other Martin workshops and has always found them very informative and fun. While Martin expertise lies in training birds for shows, Brooks thinks this will help pet owners. "A lot of birds lose their homes because of behavior problems," said Brooks. "Anything an owner can use to help train their birds is beneficial." Owners will be taught how to communicate with their birds and recognize their bird's natural behavior.

To follow Lee click here: www.bebo.com When a war broke out in hell known as The Wastelands of Hell Lee wondered the face of Hell for the longest time in tell coming across a man known as Trekos. He helped her through the many ways and tunnels of hell even though she has been in the Pazeme sense birth as she is the daughter of the ruler of hell the Omega(Lucifer) and the Alpha(Lilith) more on that is later to come. Trekos showed her the Labyrinth than the Minotaur. Lee became friends with the Minotaur and Trekos. They both helped her through Pazeme. When Lee was made, up-seat, etc she would go to Labyrinth and follow the dark maze known as the Labyrinth . Some say hes scary but you cant see him as you go farther into the Labyrinth it gets darker and darker in tell its pitch black. Lee had eyes like an owl or bat that can see in the pitch black Labyrinth to find her way to the Minotaur. When she got to him he was usually asleep she would lay down in front of him or site behind him beside him. If she feel asleep he would stay beside her except when he feed then he would save food for Lee. The Labyrinth smelled like rotting flesh and corpse. Immortals couldnt smell it but most immortals wouldnt go into the Labyrinth. Lee and Trekos were/are the only ones that would go into the Labyrinth. When Lucifer and or Lilith were looking for there daughter(Lee) they couldnt find her as she was in the Labyrinth or in the XXI in a secret tunnel by her self or with Trekos.

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Congress of Delegates elected Robert Wergin, MD, of Milford, Neb., to be the organization's president-elect. Wergin will succeed current president Reid Blackwelder, MD, at the conclusion of his term next year. The announcement was made at AAFP's Scientific Assembly on Sept. 25 in San Diego.
Wergin will advocate on behalf of AAFP's 110,600 physician and medical student members.
Wergin practices the full spectrum of family medicine -- from obstetrics to geriatrics -- at the Milford Family Practice Center, in the town in which he was born and raised. He also serves as medical director for Sunrise Country Manor Nursing Home and Crest View Care Center.
At the national level, Wergin has been an active member of the AAFP since 1982. He served as a delegate and alternate delegate to the AAFP's Congress of Delegates for 12 years and is a former member of the AAFP's Commission on Membership and Member Services, and the Website Advisory Committee.
Wergin was selected as the Nebraska Family Physician of the Year in 2002, and Nebraska Nursing Home Medical Director of the Year in 2012.

UNIVERSITY PARK - There weren't any teams from District 6 or District 5 playing at the Bryce Jordan Center in the PIAA basketball championships this weekend, but one area girl did get to perform on the big stage.
Patton's Emily Kirk, a 16-year-old junior at Cambria Heights High School, sang the national anthem before Saturday afternoon's Class A girls and Class AA boys finals.
"Singing's my passion,'' Kirk said. "In front of all those people, it's nerve-wracking, but you've got to push through it, and you've got to keep going.''
Kirk said singing in front of larger audiences is a bit of an exercise to deal with nervousness, but she's had a lot of practice now. In December, Kirk performed the national anthem before Tyrone's PIAA Class AA final against Lancaster Catholic. She's also sung twice before Altoona Curve games, after which her uncle, former District 6 chairman Stan Bem, told her she should send an audition tape to the PIAA.
"I waited two weeks and they called the one day while I was at school musical practice and said, 'You got the gig. Are you coming?' I was like, 'Sure. Why not?''' Kirk said.
Kirk is a member of both the school and honors chorus at Heights, she takes part in all her school productions, cantors in her church choir every Sunday and sings at services at the funeral home her family owns.
"I was singing ever since I could walk, even though that might have been moaning,'' Kirk joked. "Then I got into my school musicals, and I kept singing.''
Kirk said country is her favorite kind of music, and her favorite artists are Taylor Swift and Brad Paisley. She's hoping to audition for "The Voice'' next year, if her mother gives the OK. Surprisingly, her life's goal isn't to become a recording artist, however.
"I want to become a physical therapist and go into sports medicine. The dream is to become a physical therapist and, if not, then get a recording contract. But I'm going to keep going with my singing. I'm not going to stop,'' said Kirk, who is a member of the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science and Family Career Community Leaders of America, as well.
Forbes Road's Olivia Mills also represented the region, singing the Star-Spangled Banner during Friday's early session.
Fitting sendoff
Ebensburg's Darrell Jones was another familiar area face at the games, and, although he played a significant role, it wasn't nearly as visible as Kirk's.
Jones, who is retiring after 28 years as an official, didn't get any legwork during his last active weekend, but he was at the scorers table for all eight games, on call as the alternate should any of the referees assigned to work the state championship games be unable to go.
"It's an honor,'' Jones said. "Quite honestly, I think [PIAA associate executive director] Bob Lombardi took care of me. I had called him earlier and let him know that I was going to retire. I didn't want him to hear it from anybody else. It was a little going-away present. He picked me up.''
Jones has worked three state finals, the first coming in the mid-1990s with Dave Baronner and Dave Reimer at the Giant Center. Later, he was part of a crew with another Blair County duo, Dave Heim Jr. and Henry Hansard.
He worked in last year's finals with Bill Correll and John Thompson.
Jones, 64, got into officiating when he went to a game with friends Paul Ponchione and Joe Lutz, both established refs. When Jones gave them a hard time about the officiating in the junior varsity game, they told him he couldn't complain unless he got his officials certification.
So, the Memphis native by way of Columbus accepted the challenge, and he's happy he did.
"I've made the greatest friends in the world,'' Jones said.
Jones, though, began to experience leg problems in recent years, and the grind of working five and six nights per week hasn't helped. He plans to remain involved as an evaluator and to spend time with his family.
"The grandkids are going to have fun,'' Jones said. "We're going to spend some of Grandpa's money.''
One of the boys
Brittaney Badgett almost got into the Class A final on Friday, which would be unremarkable except that she was playing for the Lincoln Park Charter boys team.
Badgett actually was sent to the scorers table in the final two minutes of the Leopards' loss to Constitution but was recalled to the bench before getting on the floor.
Lincoln Park doesn't have a girls basketball team, so Badgett's only option is to play for the boys team, which she is allowed to do under PIAA rules.
Ironically, this marked the 40th year the PIAA has held championships in girls basketball. The first was in 1973, when Allentown Central Catholic beat Sharpsville, 65-38, at the Harrisburg Farm Show Arena.
New man in charge
In a move that was somewhat anticipated, Lombardi on Friday morning was voted to take over for Brad Cashman as PIAA executive director as the end of this school year.
A former teacher and coach in the Wayne Highlands School District in the northeastern part of the state, Lombardi has worked in the PIAA office since 1988 and was promoted to associate executive director in 1994 when Brad Cashman was elevated to the top position in the organization.
"We're excited,'' Lombardi said of the step up.
Lombardi said one of his first priorities as executive director will be to "increase communication within our membership'' and to promote the positive experiences and life lessons that come out of taking part in interscholastic athletics.
Another issue that has been drawing attention in recent years is the issue of charter schools, which have had an increased presence in the smaller-school brackets lately. Charter schools are public schools that have the ability to draw students, theoretically, from anywhere.
They are guaranteed the right to PIAA membership by the same state legislation that allows private schools to be part of the organization.
"They are member schools that follow our rules and regulations, and they get the same rights as anyone else,'' Lombardi said. "Is it something that there is beginning to be discussions about? Yes. But I think later on that's a board issue.''
In other news from the PIAA board meeting, a third classification was adopted for cross country beginning in the fall, the plans to begin holding a championship in competitive cheerleading as a winter sport were finalized and the vote on the proposal to change the format of the volleyball tournament was pushed back to May after further discussions could be made with the steering committee.
Keeping score
Imhotep Charter's overtime victory over Beaver Falls in the Class AA boys final on Saturday left the western side of the state 1-7 in this year's finals. Seton-LaSalle's victory in Class AA girls to start the weekend averted the sweep.
The odds were a bit stacked in favor of the east, which had teams come out of the former western part of the bracket to make the finals in Class AAA girls and Class AAAA boys.
Public schools and private schools equally split the eight trophies, 4-4. Philadelphia's Constitution and Imhotep accounted for two of the public school wins, although they are non-traditional public schools. Constitution is a history-based prep school, while Imhotep is a charter school.

New voices in science communication
The search is on for the new voices of science communication.The regional heats of FameLab UK, the UK's biggest competition for new talent to engage the public in science, will start in October 2011.
FameLab was set up in 2004 by Cheltenham Science Festival in partnership with NESTA. In 2007 the competition was adopted by the British Council as one of its flagship science engagement projects first in a South East Europe pilot and then expanding this in 2010 to include 16 across Europe, Asia and Africa. In 2012, 20 countries will be taking part in the competition.
The organisers are looking to attract enthusiastic early career scientists to take part in order to identify a new generation of individuals who can engage the public. FameLab not only inspires the next generation of science communicators but excels at building the skills that will enable scientists and engineers to explain, debate, discuss and be challenged.
The competition is open to contestants over 21 years old and working in or studying science, technology, engineering, medicine or maths in the UK. Contestants have just three minutes to prove themselves to a panel of expert judges, with only the best going forward to the next round.
Heats are taking place in:
- Newcastle, Centre for Life on 8 October 2011
- Oxford, Science Oxford on 20 and 25 October 2011 (final on 17 November)
- Cardiff, Chapter Arts Centre on 12 November 2011
- Glasgow, Glasgow Science Centre on 19 November 2011
- London, King's College London on 23 and 30 November 2011 (final on 30 November)
- Manchester, Museum of Science and Industry on 3 December 2011
Contestants who can't attend one of the regional heats will also be able to submit their entries online.
The UK National Final will take place on 21 March 2012 at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
Contestants taking part in the final will get the chance to take part in a weekend FameLab Master Class with Professor of Sciences and Society at Bristol University, Kathy Sykes, and experienced trainer, specialising in media & communication skills, Malcolm Love.
The UK winner, chosen at the final, will win a place in the International Final and take home £1000 for themselves and up to £750 to spend on a science communication activity, whether it's attending a conference, further training or developing a new event or activity.

text: I think pairs need "stars", not necessary american stars, it help but Yu-Na is korean, Mao is Japanese, V/M canadians and all of them are very popular, so is not indispensable to be american. I remember the first time I watched Shen/Zhao 2003 worlds, I was so impressed, I immediatly thought that pairs was the most amazing category, I thought there two persons, jumps, twist, throw jumps, spins, footwork, lifts, what else I can ask? but I really was blinded because Shen/Zhao were so wonderful and the true was the others pairs were simply not so great, but I think the four categories have much to offer, it simply need to have someone to shine to show the best qualities of the discipline, It is more difficult in pairs because I think almost nobody thinks to be in pairs since kids, neither their parents, and I understand them, it is very dangerous, I remember an interview with Shibutanis about why they did not choose pairs and they answered "because the lifts", Alex said "I don`t want to be responsible for a fall". A lot of skaters swith to pairs when they are older because they are not doing good in singles. V/M and D/W are very good because they are competing and training ice dance since they were children.

The higher your dps, the faster you kill mobs and the more you kill the more chances you get at loot. Each mob is like a slot machine, the more you pull the lever, the more chances you get to hit the jackpot. XP/hour is most important (focus on mob density).
Way of the Magic Seeker - Focus on loot.
The higher your MF the more rares you get. As your Plvl increases, wean yourself off MF gear. The higher prop rares you get the more chances you have to make a good amount of Diablo 3 gold. Rares/hour is most important (focus on locating and killing elites).
Way of the Hunter - Focus on efficiency.
Your efficiency is determined by the amount of rares/hour or xp/hour. Efficiency is hindered by almost every aspect of the game. Even something as simple as picking up items affects your efficiency. If you're picking up items that have absolutely no value, you are being inefficient. If your run speed is not capped, you are wasting a lot of time walking between mobs (inefficient). In any case, your dps should be high enough to 1-2 shot trash mobs and kill rares/elites in a few seconds. Once your dps is this high, raising it more will not increase your efficiency. Your choices are to either increase the MP or increase your MF. This is the sweet spot you can locate where you clear quickly and have high MF allowing you a somewhat best of both worlds kind of scenario.
After learning these views on Paragon vs Magic Find, you can notice that whatever you want to get in game, you should get yourself be strong enough. You can shop in the AH for gears and items for your character with amounts of d3 gold. Whenever you need to buy d3 gold, you can come to CheapDiablo to find the cheapest gold! Have fun!

It's not unusual in jazz to find vocalists influenced by instrumentalists and instrumentalists inspired by vocalists. The latter is the case with bassist Charles Edward Fambrough.
Fambrough - a Philadelphia native who will be on the bill with Stanley Turrentine at the Keswick Theater in Glenside on Saturday - studied classical
piano throughout his elementary and high school years, but his awareness of the bass register began even earlier.
"My father was a bass singer in the church choir," he noted. "I grew up with that sound, which is why I gravitated to the bass at the age of 13. The first person I tried imitating on the instrument was the bass singer with the Golden Gate Quartet, a gospel group. The second would be Paul Chambers, who was the first jazz bassist I ever heard."

How to rebuild my credit score?!?!?!!!!!
PLEASE, I am in desperate need of how to rebuild my credit score. Are there any groups within Cafemom that would be more helpful? Or is their someone within this group that can give me some wonderful advice/tips???
((even if the credit card is rediculous with interest-- because IF you really want to improve your credit, you Will Never pay the interest because you will NEVER carry a balance))
2. then set it upthrough your bankto Automatically pay the balance of the card from your checking account.
3. Every month--pick a day: 1st, 15th, whatever-- and buy a pack of gum or a soda. One small thing and pay with your credit card... Just once a month.
That's it.
You will be creating purchase charges, but they will be paid off (automatically) in full each month, so you will never pay more than your purchase amount, since you're not carrying a balanace to incrue interest. All that shows up on your credit report is a monthly (non-late) payment Which improves your score, regardless of your bankruptcy.
And make sure you never have late payments while you're trying to build up your score. If there is any discrepancies on your credit report, write to them to have them corrected.
Good luck.
do you have bad credit right now? Best is try and fix that! What will bring your numbers down is if you have large amounts of money still owned. For exapmle your credit cards are all or almost all maxed out. What will help you is if you always payed on time. Always had you accounts and cc in good standing (no late payments or collections). But best is to have it almost all payed off.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
The streak is over.
After four consecutive wins by Mara Abbott, the Mindy Caruso era started Memorial Day Weekend 2012.
Caruso crossed the finish line in Silverton 11 seconds ahead of Abbott to claim her first Iron Horse Bicycle Classic women�s road race title in four tries.
�I wasn�t really going out to beat Mara; I was just going out to ride my race, and it worked out that way,� the new champion said.
By leading the field to Silverton, Caruso became the first non-Abbott winner of the race since Alison Powers in 2006. Abbott took home titles from 2007-2011, with the 2008 race canceled because of weather.
Abbott wasn�t disappointed in defeat, given her inability to train in her typical fashion. The first-ever American winner of the Giro Donne, she had recently �quit� professional racing and also was coming off a broken foot suffered during a run.
�I haven�t raced since July, and I haven�t really been able to train,� she said. �So to be able to be here and feel like I was a contender � it�s not been an awesome last six-to-eight months, and when I quit racing, I was in a really, really bad place.
�I would say that it was pretty much what I expected � that I could still go pretty hard, but, you know, that top 20 percent is hiding somewhere.�
Still, Abbott, flashing her familiar snarl on the climbs, was able to build a nearly 30-second lead after Coal Bank Pass with Boulder�s Heather Fischer in second and Caruso, who registered in Cat 2/3 but started the same time as the other pros, in third.
But the Albuquerque resident stormed back to overtake Fischer on Coal Bank before tracking down the four-time defending champion on the downhill side of Molas Pass.
�I just got into my zone on Coal Bank. Every time I had a little tailwind section, I pushed it pretty hard. ... We (Fischer and Caruso) worked together on the bottom of Molas,� Caruso said. �I was able to pass Heather a little bit, then I caught Mara on the descent ... and kept pushing as hard as I could on the finish.�
Caruso, the 2011 USA Cycling Master Road Nationals 35-39 individual time trial champion, stayed steady through the final descent into Silverton and crossed the line in 2 hours, 44 minutes, 24 seconds. All times are unofficial.
Abbott crossed in 2:44.35.
Fischer, also registered in Cat 2/3, was third in 2:45.13, followed by Boulder�s Julie Emmerman in 2:47.53. Mickey Abigail of Aspen was fifth in 2:48.03, with Angela Des Cognets of Golden sixth in 2:48.13.
Fort Lewis College alumna Sarah Zoey Sturm was seventh, finishing in 2:48.29.
Durango DEVO coach Sarah Tescher finished 23rd between the pros and the Cat 2/3s in 4:30.44.
Until the passes, the road race was a casual affair, with several riders chatting with each other before the climbs.
Near the climbs, however, the pack started to stretch.
Caruso grabbed the reins near Elbert Creek before Abbott started a rush that included Fischer, Caruso and Catherine Johnson. Abbott eventually dropped all three to build her lead before Caruso�s gallant charge.
�There was no impetus through the valley. It was a social parade,� Caruso said. �It was fun, though.�
In past years, a handful of riders, particularly Abbott, tried to break away at Shalona Hill.
This year�s group, however, stayed tight all the way to Coal Bank, content to take turns at the front, pulling the peloton.
�There�s that flat spot before you get to (Durango Mountain Resort), and if you�re alone, which I�ve done before, it (stinks),� said Abbott, who holds the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic record with four consecutive road race championships. �It�s a terrible, terrible strategic plan.�
But Saturday belonged to Caruso, whose previous best finish in the pro race was eighth last year. With husband Matt Caruso � with whom she runs a cycling mechanic business � cheering her on, she made her fourth time the charm.
�It�s awesome,� Caruso said, beaming.

Earlier this week I pointed out that the Congressional Democrat's strategy of "Brutal Triage"--in which they concentrate on saving enough districts to maintain a majority while abandoning the weaker districts--would bode badly for Harry Mitchell. After all, Mitchell has always been viewed as on of he most vulnerable Democrats.
There has been some interesting news since I wrote that post. First, the NRCC has pickedfour key races for in which the Democratic incumbent looks to be especially vulnerable.
The National Republican Congressional Committee on Tuesday added more than $2 million in television ad reservations in four Democratic-held districts that are increasingly viewed as vulnerable. The new targets are Pennsylvania Rep. Patrick Murphy, Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader (above) and Arizona Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick and Harry Mitchell.
The ad buy is in response to these poll results.
In the 5th district poll, Mitchell trailed David Schweikert, his 2008 opponent, 46 percent to 38 percent. National Research Inc. surveyed 400 likely voters from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2, with a 4.9-point margin of error.
Next, we learn that the AFL CIO is engaging in a little of it's own Brutal Triage and has decided not to play in Arizona.
Arizona won't see any campaign cash or ads from AFL-CIO labor unions this election season. That's bad news for Democratic U.S. Reps. Harry Mitchell, Gabrielle Giffords and Ann Kirkpatrick well as Dems like Terry Goddard running for statewide offices.
Meanwhile, the Michael Barone's take on the Triage story was similar to mine, however, while I concentrated on Mitchell and Giffords, he had a national perspective that included this assessment.
Republicans need to gain 39 seats for a House majority. The professional analysts see it happening: Larry Sabato puts the number at 47, Stuart Rothenberg at 37 to 42, Charlie Cook at 40. Cook notes that Democratic incumbents are trailing Republican challengers in polls in 32 districts.
Mitchell has limited time to convince the Washington money guys that he's viable. We should expect him to drop at least half of his campaign cash in the next two weeks on negative Schweikert ads. After 10 days or so of Mitchell carpet bombing Schweikert, the DCCC will conduct a poll and see if Harry managed to improve his chances. If he can point to some movement in the polls, then maybe he can move off the Do Not Resuscitate list. It's a desperate gamble because if the move doesn't bring in national support, then it leaves Mitchell without the resources to compete once early balloting starts.
So be prepared for a barrage of negative ads. My guess is that those adds wont' move the polls at all. Then Mitchell will be out of ammo and out of time.
Finally, Independent Groups are starting to weigh in on the race. Here's the "Over 60 coalition's" anti Mitchell ad.

Is Doing Good Good for You? How Corporate Charitable Contributions Enhance Revenue Growth

September 1, 2008
This study examines the impact of corporate philanthropy growth on sales growth using a large sample of charitable contributions made by U.S. public companies from 1989 through 2000. Applying Granger causality tests, we find that charitable contributions are significantly associated with future revenue, whereas the association between revenue and future contributions is marginally significant at best. We then identify the mechanism underlying our findings. Our results are particularly pronounced for firms that are highly sensitive to consumer perception, where individual consumers are the predominant customers. In addition, we document a positive relationship between contributions and customer satisfaction. Overall, our evidence suggests that corporate philanthropy, under certain circumstances, furthers firms' economic objectives.

In Midst Of Hard Times, Finding Hope, Rebirth
The period before Easter is a time of sacrifice and reflection. It's when Christians find hope in conquering earthly challenges by considering Christ's sacrifice. But perhaps some people feel they've already sacrificed plenty just to stay afloat. On Good Friday, host Michel Martin talks about finding hope and rebirth with Pastor Rudy Rasmus.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. government is spending money like never before. Billions of dollars being used to stimulate the economy, save banks and expand federal programs. But is the money being spent wisely?
With economists forecasting growth in the horizon, some are asking did we need a stimulus at all?
Government Will Have to Borrow 46 Cents On The Dollar
Whether it is building new roads, bailing out banks or beefing up our borders -for every one dollar the government spends this year, it will have to borrow nearly half - 46 cents on the dollar.
With historic levels of spending, that balloons the federal deficit to a record $1.8 trillion according to new White House estimates, nearly 13 percent of the overall economy.
The figures come as the White House completes the official release of the 2010 budget and overshadows the $17 billion in cuts President Obama announced last week.
"The 121 budget cut we are announcing today will save tax payers nearly $17 billion dollars next year alone," Obama said on May 7. "And even by Washington standards that should be considered a lot of money."
But that amounts to only one-half of one percent of the entire proposed $3.5 trillion budget.
In April, the president ordered his cabinet to trim $100 million in unnecessary spending.
"Line by line, page by page - a $100 million here, a $100 million there," the president said at his April 20 cabinet meeting. "Pretty soon, even in Washington, it adds up to real money."
And sooner, rather than later, Washington will be badly in need of more money.
Will Social Security and Medicare Run Out Of Money?
New reports out Tuesday show Social Security and Medicare will run out of money sooner than projected just one year ago.
With 5.7 million jobs slashed from the payrolls since December, and unemployment at a 25-year high, fewer people working means less money going into the trust funds.
On the sunnier side, White House economists predict the economy will continue to shrink this year, but grow by 3.2 percent next year.
That is a healthier rebound than what Congress and private economists have predicted.
Still, with what some are calling hopeful signs of recovery, others are asking if all the spending to stimulate the economy is really necessary or if the money is going where it's needed the most.
According to an Associated Press review of more than 5,000 transportation projects, it found the counties hardest hit with job losses get the least help from stimulus dollars on roads and bridges. More money goes to communities where the jobless rates are already lower.

Sorry this is so long...I just need help, and it turned out longer than I expected. I also cross posted because I know there is more activity on this board and while this deals more with marriage issues (for me right now I guess), it is also a debatable topic.
Ladies I need help. In my life I have had three people take their own lives through out my life. Being raised Catholic I have the religious part of me, and then (I guess you would call it) the logical side that sees WHY they did it. I posted in this forum because while my husband knew these people in my life he didn't know them very well, mainly knew OF them. Being military we move a lot, so he met my didn't meet friends father at all, my uncle only three times, and my friend only once. He knew they were important to me, so that made them important to him, but he didn't and can't morn the same way, and I don't know what to do. Like today I I keep thinking about my friend who died and it causes me to pull away and be really quiet, and I need help with this. Before you say "see a counselor", I am...I had my first session last week, but I also want "real people" advice.
- The first was a friends father who shot himself after we graduated. He was a Vietnam Vet who always had a hard time with "flashbacks" and couldn't take it anymore. Had been out of work, etc. and was miserable.
- The second was my uncle. He was a HUGE man who had been recruited by the Colts and Steelers in his day, but they wanted him to play college ball first. Since he was the high school start football player he skated by high school and no college wanted him (this was in the 70's) so his NFL dreams were shattered and he became a pipe fitter. About 20 years ago he fell off of a building and suffered brain trauma and it took years to just learn to walk/talk again. Well, four years ago he started having pin strokes so they changed his meds and he started acting really odd and started acting REALLY mean towards people which was not like him at all. After the accident it was like he had a new view on life and was just so happy to be alive and would always tell us to cherish every moment and to tell everyone we love just how much we love them. My cousin had just had his first grandchild and he was on top of the world. Then, one Saturday morning he looks at my aunt and tells her he is going to kill himself. She is 5 foot nothing, tried to stop him, but like I said he is huge and managed to put a shotgun in his mouth (something you are not supposed to do because they are so big...but so was he). He had firearms in the house because he had been a hunter/fisherman in his past and this thought never crossed our mind...hindsight. The doctors are pretty sure the new meds caused him to do it because guess what one of the side effects are????? Yeah...
- The third, and the one that hurts the most and caused me to write this post is my friend who shot himself last year. He was a gentle soul who wore his heart on his sleeve and as a result had it squashed many times. In high school he was the guy who loved everyone, always had the parties at his house (his parents traveled a lot and his sister was a cop, so when the cops were called she would call us to warn us!!), but didn't realize just how much people really did love him. He also BARELY graduated, so we were beyond excited when he graduated with us. After high school he joined the Army and was deployed a few times. He would call and write me frustrated about how violent (yes he realized it would be) things were and how guys talked about their girlfriends/wives. When he got out he decided to live with his extended family so he could focus on school. He had received his bachelors and was working towards his masters, and had plans for his PhD (we were all so proud and SHOCKED to say the least) when his fiancee broke things off. He couldn't take it...his heart had been broken too many times.
While they all hurt, the last death hurts the most, and I think it is because I'm still SO ANGRY at him, plus he was my age. He would call me from the middle east (and this was before Skype, etc. when it was even harder to contact people) when he was upset but doesn't call when he is about to blow his brains out?!?!?!?!?! He had finally had everything going for him and he CHOOOSES to end it???? WHAT THE HELL??
All three deaths left such unnecessary wakes of hurt, grief, sadness, and pain. I guess my many questions are; when does the pain stop? When can you finally remember them for them and not how they died again? When can I listen to a song that reminds me of them without crying?

Selling State Borders
Joseph Blocher
Duke University School of Law
January 2014
162 U. Pa. L. Rev. 241 (2014)
Sovereign territory was bought and sold throughout much of American history, and there are good reasons to think that an interstate market for borders could help solve many contemporary economic and political problems. But no such market currently exists. Why not? And could an interstate market for sovereign territory help simplify border disputes, resolve state budget crises, respond to exogenous shocks like river accretion, and improve democratic responsiveness? Focusing on the sale of borders among American states, this Article offers constitutional, political, and ethical answers to the first question, and a qualified yes to the second.

If you plan to run Drupal on a computer with Mac OS X, and you aren't already a whiz at managing Apache, MySQL, and PHP on your computer, then this video is for you. If you will be running Drupal only on Microsoft Windows computers, go to the other video in this series, Installing WAMP, instead. By the time we are done, your computer will have all the components you need to run a basic installation of Drupal. The first place that we need to go is to this website, which is at mamp.info. Once there, you will see that there are two versions of MAMP available; the one on the left is MAMP PRO, which is a for pay system, which has some pieces that we really don't need. We are good enough with the ordinary MAMP. You can read more about it by clicking on this button here, or you can just go to the Download page by clicking here.
Once there, the latest version will be listed here and you can click on it to download. We have already downloaded it, so I am going to switch to the Finder, hide everything else, and unpack this file. On the Mac what you would do to unpack it is to double click, look through the License Agreement, and if you agree, which I assume you will, you click Agree, and the result is a disk image, which contains both MAMP and MAMP PRO. Again, we only need MAMP, so you will drag that into your Applications folder right there.
The Copy will take a few seconds, and when its done you can see MAMP by double clicking on this alias to your Applications folder, like so. You can then close this window, and if you like, you can eject this disk image by dragging it down to the Eject. Once you in the Applications folder, scroll down until you see MAMP, and open it by double clicking on it. The first time you download MAMP, it will ask you if it's okay to open it since it was downloaded from the Internet. Since we trust our source, we are going to say Open. Two things will happen. First, the MAMP program itself will open, and second, it will open the start page. I am going to switch back to the MAMP program so we can take a closer look.
In the left hand part of the screen, you see Apache Server and MySQL server; you can Start and Stop these servers at any time by clicking on this button. When the servers are stopped, the lights glow red, when they are started again, they glow green. In order to run Drupal, you will always have to have the Apache Server and MySQL Server running. The page that was launched when MAMP started is called the Start page, and you can launch that at any time by clicking on this button. From here you have many different options, such as controlling your MySQL database, using phpMyAdmin; we will be doing that a lot in this series.
I am going to go back to MAMP right now, and look at the Preferences. We are going to change a few things in here. First of all, we want to change the folder that Apache is looking for its document root directory. The reason for that is right now it's stored inside the Applications folder. The problem with having your document root directory in your Applications folder is that many backup systems don't look there. Instead they look in your Documents directories. So we are going to put ours there. The first thing we want to do is create that document root, and we will do that by going back to the Finder, by clicking on it, go up to Finder, and Hide Others. Now I am going to go into my directory, which in this case is Users/tomgeller, and Sites. In here, I am going to create a new Folder, which I will call Drupal; this is where all of our Drupal files will live.
I am now going to switch back to the MAMP application and change the document root so that it goes to that place. Again, that was Macintosh HD/Users/tomgeller/Sites/drupal, and then Open, and that chooses the correct folder. There is one other thing that we are going to do, which is to change the Ports that MAMP uses. Right now it uses these nonstandard Ports, 8888 and 8889. The reason we want to change this is, if we don't, whenever you look at the page in your Drupal site, it's going to have not only the name of local host, which is your local computer, but it will say local host:8888, which is a little bit inconvenient if you are typing out URLs.
So I am going to Set to default Apache and MySQL ports, like so, and then click on OK. The servers will restart, and it will ask you for your Password. There we go. We now have MAMP running on the ports we want, and pointing to the correct folder. I am going to just say Open start page again to make sure it's working, and there we go.

Sherri Braddock, Blakemore Middle School teacher at Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, was selected as one of 22 teachers from Texas to collaborate with The University of Texas at Arlington with the goal of introducing and integrating historical maps into school curriculum.
Through the use of maps dating from the 1500s through the late 1800s, students will gain a better understanding of history and the sources that reveal it. Social studies and other programs in Texas schools will also benefit from the use of historical maps.
Teachers were selected from schools throughout the state and UTA faculty and library staff. They will identify curriculum needs and devise strategies to meet those needs through the use of historic maps. The teachers serve as paid consultants on the three-year project.
This project is made possible by a $200,000 grant from Houston Endowment, Inc. that was given to UTA's libraries and the Center for Greater Southwestern Studies and History of Cartography.

Opening statements made in McCluskey trial
Accomplices have pleaded guilty, are expected to take stand
Three years ago Monday, police arrested Arizona inmate escapee and double-murderer suspect John McCluskey.
That same Monday opening statements were made in his capital murder trial.
Prosecutors say McCluskey was the mastermind behind a carjacking and crime spree after a trio's escape from an Arizona prison. They said he never intended to let Gary and Linda Haas go. They were killed in August 2010.
Defense attorneys say no one saw him pull the trigger and anyone who says he did can't be trusted. He said no forensic evidence links McCluskey to the murders.
His accomplices have already pleaded guilty in the case and will testify.
Trial is expected to last four months.
McCluskey faces 20 counts, including murder, carjacking resulting in death and robbery. He faces the death penalty if convicted.

Manchester United Unfazed by Glazer's Death
The death of Manchester United and Tampa Bay Buccaneers' owner Malcolm Glazer is still fresh in our minds. NFL and soccer fans have paid their respect to him after his death was announced Wednesday. But not all fans are truly distraught over this loss.
Unfortunately, Glazer wasn't always appreciated by Man U fans. When he first became owner of the soccer franchise in 2005, many fans staged protests and even burned season tickets.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, Manchester United Supporters' Trust vice chair Sean Bones said he didn't know the Glazer family.
"It would be inappropriate for me to make any comment about the death of Malcolm Glazer as I didn't know him or his family personally."
Bones went on to say that he does know about the impact that Malcolm had on the club.
"However, as a supporter, I am aware of the detrimental effect the Glazers have had on the ? club and the huge debt that has been placed on Manchester United."
Luckily, some fans are remaining civil and being respectful towards the family. After all, he did preside over the club's most successful years. Fans must never forget that.

I've been conspicuously absent from my blog for the last several months. It hasn't been from lack of thinking, "Oh, I should blog about this." In fact, I have a long list of possible blog topics just waiting for the right day. And that's the crux of the matter. All that free time I had last year to, I don't know---actually blog, disappeared in a flash and I'm busier than ever. I'm the very definition of my old "new" normal--150 mph. Can the necessary introspection for a blog find time in the hectic pace of life?
As the calendar creeps towards full, I find myself with a rare free Sunday afternoon to once again contemplate the question of my normal. My subject matter today is near and dear to my heart---our little slice of heaven on Silver Creek in Kansas. It feels so normal to be here on a brilliant October day just putzing around the property.
|Our slice of heaven.
We are "home" for the weekend to do some repairs at the house, see Ciara, go to the Big Red One day at the K-State game, visit friends, see clients and take care of business. It's a busy trip for sure. I'm lucky to find a few quiet minutes this afternoon to hear the birds calling and the leaves rustling in the never still Kansas air.
The grass is green and, if I squint, I can pretend it's my patio set on the deck and my flowers blooming in the garden. I know it's really in someone else's care right now, but there is no doubt--she's home.
I never wanted to live in Kansas. I never wanted a house built in 1921. I never wanted to own 4 acres that need mowing and maintenance. I never wanted to live on a gravel road and have a septic tank. I never thought being here could be normal. But it is.
|Fox crossing near our home
What I've learned after considering normal for a year is that normal is about balance. If you look at all the pros and cons of any given situation--you can usually find balance. A loved one dies, but a baby is born into the family. You say good-bye to friends who PCS to another state, but new friends move in down the street. Your children go away to college, but they still come to visit and they still bring their hungry friends. It's never as bad as it first seems. You grow accustomed to the new normal and soon it is just normal.
I'm sad to leave KS tomorrow. I'll miss the simple way of life every single day. But I'm also settling into a new rhythm in Virginia that promises to be normal faster than I can say...

Pat Metheny and Ornette Coleman
Though Metheny, 31, has lead billing on Song X, 56-year-old Ornette Coleman clearly dominates their collaboration. That might be hot news for disciples of Coleman, who remains as controversial today as he was 25 years ago when his dissonant, sometimes anarchic style was revolutionary. But it's bound to leave many of Metheny's followers out in the cold. Eschewing the soothingly ethereal, atmospheric music he usually plays, Metheny takes his first walk on the wild side of improvisation on this self-produced LP. The adventure is sometimes confusing, yet always interesting. Coleman has always been radical in his approach to jazz, blatantly disregarding traditional music structures to play what he feels from moment to moment. This album is no exception. He wrote or co-wrote all of the material on Song X, and his sometimes frenetic horn playing often obscures Metheny's more subtle contributions. Endangered Species, a tangled web of sax and synthesized guitar lines, sounds like an aural impression of a flash fire in a hermetically sealed chicken coop: Listening requires nerves of steel, a wry sense of humor or both. Mob Job by comparison is positively conventional, with Coleman reeling off some familiar melodies underpinned by Metheny's bluesy guitar and Charles Haden's deft bass playing. And if you really go with the flow, you can almost waltz to Kathelin Gray. On this piece Coleman and Metheny gently harmonize above multilayered, uptempo percussion by Jack DeJohnette and Coleman's 30-year-old son, Denardo. This sound collage is tough to take at first, but adventurous listeners will get a kick out of it. (Geffen)

Brian Micklethwait talks about the advantages to criminals in the modern surveillance panopticon that is modern-day Britain:
Posted by Nicholas at October 18, 2007 01:04 PM
The ubiquity of surveillance cameras in Britain does not appear to be having any very detectable effect upon the level of crime.
Well, actually, that is not quite right. Total surveillance does dissuade the law-abiding from straying across the line. Surveillance cameras do slow up speeding motorists, for instance. But with one exception. They do far less to slow up motorists who are already criminals. These persons have little further to fear from the criminal-processing system than the complications they already have to live with as a result of already being criminals. In the unlikely event that they are traced, driving a car that isn't theirs or that they have not reported to the various authorities that the rest of us must keep informed about everything, they are processed slowly and clumsily by the criminal-processing system. It is noted yet again that they are criminals, which everyone already knows, and that, pretty much, mostly, is it. Any punishments they suffer are as likely to be badges of honour as they are to be truly feared.
[. . .]
The most spectacular and often newsworthy instances of this contrast between the law-abiding and the criminals occur when the law-abiding fight back against criminals when they are attacked by them. When this happens, and in those cases when both parties are scooped up by the police, perhaps because the law-abider summoned the police and the police actually turned up, the criminals often come off better, because they then know how to handle things. The criminal lies about having aggressed, and in due course walks away. The law-abider tells the truth about how he defended himself, and can land in a world of trouble.
The effect of total surveillance, then, when combined with the rest of the criminal-processing system, is not to abolish criminality, but rather to ensure that we all have to decide, as one big decision for each of us: Am I going to be a criminal, or not? If I am, that's one set of rules, criminal rules, which I must obey. If I am going to be law-abiding, then I must obey the law, whatever that exactly is. (And at all times, now that all infractions can be photographed and recorded for ever, everywhere. If that is not the case now, it soon will be.) But, because the law is so very intrusive and annoying and so full of complexities and arbitrarinesses and injustices, that creates a constant pressure on people to say: To hell with it, I'm going to be a criminal. Meaning: someone who doesn't care who else knows he's a criminal, and who can accordingly relax about being totally surveilled.

The size, geographic distribution, and specialty mix of the US physician workforce continue to interest American health policy analysts. Evidence suggests that the United States is on the verge of a serious oversupply of physicians, particularly nongeneralist physicians. Canada faces some of the same problems in physician supply, cost, and distribution as does the United States. Unlike the American states, however, the Canadian provinces, which have responsibility for financing health care, have in recent years made changes in their physician workforce policies that address these problems. Of particular note, Canadian provinces have developed policies that limit medical school enrollments, adjust the specialty training mix to better accord with needs, and establish physician practice location incentives. This article proceeds on the assumption that historical and contemporary similarities between medical care systems in Canada and the United States make comparisons between them potentially valuable. It offers a historical perspective on the evolution of workforce planning in the 2 countries and identifies 3 periods of policy development. It also compares and contrasts the relative size and specialty composition of the Canadian and US workforces and discusses how Canadian initiatives have diverged from American policy. Unless the United States devises its own coordinated workforce strategy, it will have considerable difficulty limiting physician workforce growth and influencing specialization and distribution in the future.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — In 1988, New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu said that "the people of Iowa pick corn and the people of New Hampshire pick presidents."
Throughout the history of its primary, the Granite State has been the scene of some of the most epic moments in presidential politics.
But this year's primary could be something the state is not used to — a snoozer.
Mitt Romney has a commanding lead in polls here, and no candidate except Jon Huntsman has had a strong campaign presence. After the long fight for Iowa, some contenders appear better-suited to make stands in South Carolina and Florida.
That flies in the face of the normal New Hampshire dynamic.
Reagan's moment
In 1980, Ronald Reagan stunned George H.W. Bush with a win here. He provided a memorable moment in Nashua when he angrily told a debate moderator looking to turn off his microphone that "I'm paying for this microphone, Mr. Green," though the moderator's name was Jon Breen.
In 1972, Democrat Edmund Muskie won New Hampshire, but the Maine senator's presidential bid was derailed when he reportedly cried in front of the Manchester Union-Leader while defending his wife after a story said she made off-color remarks and drank during the campaign.
Speaking of tears, even recent New Hampshire primaries have been thrilling.
In 2008, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton choked up while answering a question from a New Hampshire voter en route to winning the primary and stunning Barack Obama. It set up the most dramatic presidential primary race in recent memory.
No such drama is expected this year.
Left scrambling
Rick Perry announced Tuesday night that he was headed back to Texas to reassess his campaign. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum will campaign in New Hampshire this week, but they are well behind in the polls.
All the candidates are expected in New Hampshire this weekend for two debates.
Still, with most of the conservative candidates stumping in Southern states, New Hampshire is going to be left in the cold.
But all is not lost for the state's reputation.
If Romney wins New Hampshire and goes on to beat Obama, the Granite State would have picked the president, but in an unspectacular way.

Simona Halep claimed her fifth title of the year with a straight-sets win over Samantha Stosur in the WTA Kremlin Cup final on Sunday.
The 22-year-old Romanian was on top form as she overcame an opponent ranked one place below her at 19 in the world in one hour and 41 minutes with a score of 7-6 (7-1), 6-2.
Halep's victory on the Russian hard courts illustrates her versatility, as she has already won tournaments on grass and clay this year.
Stosur was put on the back foot from the off, and while she managed to match Halep game for game, she was defeated comprehensively in the tie-break.
The Australian struggled to recover from losing the tie-break and was comfortably beaten in the second set as she won just 53 per cent of points on her first serve.
And Halep, who saved just three of her five break points in the match, spoke of her delight after the match.
"It's an incredible year for me and I am enjoying every moment of it," she said.
"Now I already have all of my thoughts about the Tournament of Champions in Sofia.
"It's a very special event for me and I'm preparing thoroughly for it and hope to perform there at my top level."

The PEOSH Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories Standard, referred to on this page as the "PEOSH Laboratory Standard," establishes minimum requirements for chemical hygiene practices in laboratories in New Jersey. The Standard includes requirements for a written chemical hygiene program, labeling, use, and handling of hazardous chemicals in a laboratory setting.
The PEOSH Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories standard has been adopted from the U.S. Department of Labor 29 CFR 1910.1450.
Back to top
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the PEOSH Laboratory Standard apply to all public school science laboratories?
A: The Standard applies to laboratories that are engaged in the laboratory use of hazardous chemicals on a laboratory scale. Laboratory use of hazardous chemicals means handling or use of such chemicals in which all of the following conditions are met:
Laboratory scale is defined as "work with substances in which the containers used for reactions, transfers, and other handling of substances are designed to be easily and safety manipulated by one person." There are specific exemptions in the Standard for dip and read kits and commercially prepared kits where hazardous substances are contained within a sealed media and employee's potential exposure is minimal. Application of the Standard to public school science laboratories is based on the specific work practices at your laboratory. The Standard is more likely to apply to advanced high-school level chemistry laboratories using wet methods, but unlikely to apply to general science demonstrations. Schools are also less likely to limit the use of hazardous reagents for student safety purposes.
Q: Do I have to comply with the PEOSH Hazard Communication Standard if I am in compliance with the PEOSH Laboratory Standard?
A: The PEOSH Laboratory Standard is considered to be more specific to the laboratory setting than the PEOSH Hazard Communication Standard. If the employer is in compliance with the PEOSH Laboratory Standard, those covered employees are exempt from the requirements of the PEOSH Hazard Communication Standard.

HOME>Press Release>Text
Tokyo, November 10, 2009: Japan Airlines (JAL) has applied to the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to revise from December 1, 2009, its international cargo fuel surcharge for flights departing from Japan only.
Since April 01, 2009, JAL started adjusting its fuel surcharge levels on a monthly basis by using the one-month average fuel price of Singapore kerosene of the month before last. As the average fuel price of Singapore kerosene for the month of October in 2009 was US$80.15 per barrel, the benchmark fuel price used for calculation of the fuel surcharge level in December will be within the range of US$80.00 to US$84.99 per barrel (refer to table below).
The international cargo fuel surcharge will therefore increase on long-haul international routes from 66 yen per kg to 73 yen, on medium-haul international routes from 57 yen per kg to 63 yen, and on short-haul routes from 48 yen per kg to 53 yen accordingly.
