[-] The legal step isn't the expensive step.
There's a distinction usually absent from discussions of open source, but which was crucial at EC, and again currently at Xanadu: The distinction between the legal step of declaring some set of intellectual property to be open source, and the step of making it publicly available in a non-embarrassing way, publicizing it, promoting it, and trying to catalyze a Bazaar process. This second step is certainly expensive in many ways, especially of attention, and for most programs it will never be worth these costs. EC never paid these costs for E. I'm paying these costs, but if I wasn't, EC still wouldn't be. Having gone through this with E, I'd like you to explain what hidden costs EC paid that I'm missing.
There are a large class of programs written within corporation where the corporation can clearly know (with high probability) that they will never try to sell the program, because it's outside their sense of their business. ILM and bug-tracking being a fine example. OTOH, the corporation *does* have an interest in having their programmers take extra pride in creating these programs. The attention-cost of choosing an open-source license, which is real, should be paid once for all programs in this class.
In most other fields (not all) of artistic endeavor for hire, it is standard practice for the artist to accumulate a portfolio of past work, to show to others. If you want to talk about tremendous hidden costs, consider the pain of careers of brilliant work, all of which were flushed down the toilet. None of which can even be shown to friends to say "look at this cool thing I did." To tally this as a cost to the business, how much of a salary difference would compensate for this difference in working conditions? Some employees would rate this higher, and some lower. Which kind of employee would you want?

Admission tickets to any high end entertainment are steep in cost. Consequently, plan to eat out before you head out to the music center. There is no major restaurants at a walking distance. The ones in there are what you expect when there is no option available--will squeeze the green out of your wallet. By the way, bring your own wine bottle and glasses and some small items to eat because you can. The court area allows people to pic nic two hours before show time. The parking is $8 and well spent because is just below the music center and again you can bring some pic nic food and have plenty of time to return to your car to dispose of your dirty glasses. Good luck and make it a great date.

The Amarillo Hospital District's impending divorce from a pediatric group has some people in the community concerned that children will lack specialized medical care.
The group at the center of the controversy is Health Professional Associates, which was created as a nonprofit organization under the umbrella of the hospital district in 1994.
HPA has gained a reputation for providing specialty care for chronically ill children in the Panhandle. The practice has eight full-time specialists and one general pediatrician, as well as affiliations with other experts.
AHD board managers struggled for more than a year to determine the legal relationship between the hospital district and HPA. Earlier this month, the board voted to dissolve the HPA's nonprofit status and its ties to the hospital district.
It is a move that some people say will keep children from receiving specialized medical care.
But officials, including Amarillo Mayor Kel Seliger, said the overall view of pediatrics in Amarillo points to a more optimistic outcome.
Including specialists at HPA and the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, Amarillo has more than 40 pediatricians.
Officials at the Potter-Randall County Medical Society said Amarillo has plenty of pediatricians.
"It might take two or three calls before new residents find a pediatrician, but we have enough to care for the area children," said De De Baum, director of the medical society.
Texas Tech Health Sciences Center School of Medicine has 13 full-time pediatric specialists, two general pediatricians and seven part-time pediatric specialists in Amarillo.
"We are reorganizing ourselves to find out how we can provide continuing care not only for children with special needs but also for those who need regular medical care," said Marita Sheehan, interim regional dean at Texas Tech.
Sheehan said that could mean bringing more specialists into the area if the need arises.
Texas Tech's Pediatrics Department has been providing primary and specialty medical care in Amarillo since 1978. The pediatrics department recently received full accreditation for its residency program.
"I think there are some people in the community who don't realize the commitment of Texas Tech," Sheehan said. "We have no concerns that pediatric care will be provided to everyone."
Supporters of HPA maintain that indigent children will not have any medical care if the pediatric group is forced to close its doors because of lack of funds.
But Michael Hughes, spokesman for Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, said in the period between January 1998 and June 1999, the Pediatrics Department had 29,241 patient visits. Of those visits, 59.1 percent qualified as indigents under Tech's guidelines.
Jim Mitchell, chief operations officer for HPA, said the organization will try to remain open.
He said Amarillo's patient population cannot support a large number of pediatric specialists.
"We've always known that," Mitchell said. "That is why the hospital district initially had made the commitment to support bringing specialists to the city."
Mitchell said it's too early to tell if Amarillo will lose any pediatric specialists.
"Our providers and staff have always been committed to serving the children of this community, and we will do our best to sort through and address the issues resulting from these circumstances," said Dr. Rolf Habersang, in an earlier interview with the Globe-News.
The HPA practice received $1.008 million from the hospital district in fiscal year 1998-1999 for the care of indigent children.
Indigent, under the definition set by the hospital district requirements, refers to residents of the hospital district who do not have insurance or financial ability to pay and do not qualify for Medicaid.
Medicaid financial requirements are much lower than the AHD qualifications. Under the hospital district guidelines, a family can earn up to 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines - set at $2,088 per month for a family of four.
If a patient does not qualify for Medicaid or indigent services, clinics will work with them to find other payment options.
"Regardless of payer source, the clinic is open to everyone," said Deborah Howard, supervisor of the financial needs assessment center at the J.O. Wyatt Family Clinic. 'If all else fails there is a sliding fee scale that is based on 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines."
The money awarded to HPA was for the treatment of indigent Amarillo Hospital District residents.
HPA records show clinic physicians treated 13,249 patients over the last 18 months. An audit of the practice conducted in September 1998 at the request of the AHD board shows only 5 percent of HPA patients qualify as "indigent" under the district's guidelines.
Baum said it is harder to find physicians who accept new Medicaid patients.
According to data from the Texas Department of Human Services, 43 pediatricians in Amarillo accept some Medicaid patients.
"The problem is that some of those doctors see Medicaid patients only in the hospitals or the emergency room," Baum said.
Lilia Escajeda, chairman of the AHD board, said the board is working to establish guidelines to allow other groups to apply for district funding.
Pediatric groups also will compete for the indigent care contract through a "request for qualifications" process.
Sheehan said Texas Tech has the specialists in Amarillo and the support of two other campuses to provide specialized care for special needs children and general pediatric care.
"Our mission has always been to care for those who don't have anywhere else to go," Sheehan said.
Dr. Stephen O'Grady, who practices at Amarillo Children's Clinic along with Dr. Rex Fletcher, said cooperation between practices will improve Amarillo's pediatric care.
Sheehan agreed.
"We have the specialists and we have the pediatricians in Amarillo," she said. "Complicated health care requires cooperation."

Patriots reserve safety Derrick Martin's home in Colorado invaded during Sunday's game
|01.21.13 at 2:08 pm ET
While the Patriots were losing to the Ravens on Sunday night, the Colorado home of Pats reserve safety/special teamer Derrick Martin was being invaded by two armed men.
According to the KUSA-TV website, police in Aurora, Colo., said a number of people were in the home at the time of the break-in, including adults and children. The people were held at gunpoint, but no one was injured. Numerous items were taken, although some items of value were not touched.
"A home invasion of this nature is not a common occurrence," Aurora Police Department spokesman Frank Fania said. "Two armed men going to innocent victims' house, forcing their way in, pointing guns at people and taking things."
Martin, who hails from Denver, played in five regular-season games this season after being signed on Oct. 31. He was inactive for Sunday's loss. A member of the last two Super Bowl champions, he joined the Patriots after playing for the Giants (2011), Packers (2009-10) and Ravens (2006-08).

Stock Market Forecast Update
EASY NOTE: I offer email newsletters documenting portfolio simulations that apply a concept with solid backtesting and intuitively sound principles. Click here to learn more about the newsletters or sign up to receive them. If they're not outperforming the S&P 500 … they're free!
I have updated my Stock Market Forecast page with the latest systems I'm testing. You can read the explanation there in detail. The quick summary is that I'm doing two primary models (4-week and 13-week), both using a linear regression model (a statistical way of finding a straight-line relationship between a set of variables and a calculated outcome) that involves four different technical analysis data points.
I graph the stock market forecast for each model over the coming 4-week or 13-week period.
Lastly, I will issue two weighted combination forecasts each week in my update post, each of which makes only one "official" forecast for the record book. One represents a weighted average between where the two models think the S&P 500 will close this upcoming week. The weights are based on how sure each model is – that is, using the "standard error" for the regression analysis. The other is a "Headline Adjusted" model, which tries to account for the fact that extreme and unforeseen events can throw off the models. So, I remove data that seems affected by such effects and keep the more pure data. But this model will only make a forecast one week in advance.
Performance of Last Week's Forecast
Weekly Direction of the S&P 500
Correct: 4-week / 13-week / Weight-Adjusted Combo / Headline-Adjusted
Incorrect: None
Accuracy of the Weight-Adjusted Combination Models
Regular Weight-Adjusted Combination: 3.06 percent too pessimistic
Headline-Adjusted Combination: 0.29 percent too pessimistic
Accuracy of Individual Models
4-week Model: 1.66 percent too pessimistic
Correct Prediction of S&P 500 Direction thru Last Week's Close: 3 out of 4 predictions
Notes: The four times it made a forecast, they were all extremely close to each other, which was always 1.66 percent too pessimistic compared to the actual close. In other words, the forecast thought it had this nailed all the way.
13-week Model: 3.93 percent too pessimistic
Correct Prediction of S&P 500 Direction thru Last Week's Close: 6 out of 13 predictions
Notes: The model was always between 3.93 and 4.09 percent too pessimistic. In other words, the forecast thought it had this nailed all the way. After 7 consecutive weeks of incorrect predictions of direction for the March 22 close, it got things right on its final try.
Estimated Effect of Headlines on Current Market Value
NOTE: This is based on a calculation I do after running the current week's headline-adjusted forecasts.
4-week Model: Positive effect of 1.5 percent (up 0.3 percent from last week)
13-week Model: Positive effect of 3.8 percent (up 0.1 percent from last week)
Notes: Despite the financial turmoil going on in the country of Cyprus, it seems as though investors are still cheering headlines.
Buy-Sell Simulation
The simulated weekly trade using the weighted average of the two primary models can be found on the "Buy-Sell Simulation" tab of the spreadsheet
Weekly Profit/Loss vs S&P 500 buy-and-hold: Gain of $70
Cumulative Profit/Loss vs S&P 500 buy-and-hold: Loss of $1,410 (initial $10,000 investment, excluding costs of trading)
Wins and Losses vs S&P 500 buy-and-hold (Win = $50 gain or more, Loss = $50 loss or worse, Tie = Anything in between): 40 pct
Notes: The model correctly sold for the week, although it wasn't a huge gain. The system's current streak stands at 1 win (any weeks classified as a tie aren't considered in streak).
Stock Market Forecast Summary for Upcoming Week
Here's the breakdown:
|Forecast Change in S&P 500 This Week (Mar 25, 2013 – Mar 29, 2013)
|4-Week Model
|13-Week Model
|Weighted Average
|down 1.47 pct
|down 3.29 pct
|down 2.57 pct
|Headline Adjusted
|up 0.06 pct
|up 0.46 pct
|up 0.32 pct
The weighted average forecast for the two models says that on the close of March 29, 2013, the S&P 500 will be 1,516.81 – which translates to a 2.57 percent drop this week. Adjusted for headlines, I would expect a level of 1,561.82 – which translates to a 0.32 percent rise this week. Check out the Stock Market Forecast page for exact numbers and charts.
What Does Past Performance Tell Us About Upcoming Week?
My calculations show a decent correlation for the Headline-Adjusted (HA) model (87 percent confidence). That correlation is a positive one. In other words, when the HA model is too optimistic, the S&P 500 performs better the following week than if the opposite were true, although it doesn't necessarily mean the S&P 500 has dropped if the HA model was too pessimistic – just that did worse than when the model was too optimistic.
Last week, the HA model was 0.29 percent too pessimistic. Based on historical correlations, this would be associated with a 0.43 percent rise in the S&P the following week. In general, I am not suggesting that this overrides the forecasts above – just another thing to consider.
EASY NOTE: I offer email newsletters documenting portfolio simulations that apply a concept with solid backtesting and intuitively sound principles. Click here to learn more about the newsletters or sign up to receive them. If they're not outperforming the S&P 500 … they're free!
Evolution of the Forecast
Basic Concept: We've had several forecasts for next week's close from the 13-week and 4-week models. The evolution of the forecast could give us a sense for whether the forecasts are too high or too low.
4-week Model: The forecast has been flat, so this forecast is probably where it would be if we ran another round.
13-week Model: The forecast was flat until last week, so this forecast may have come in higher if we had another round of forecasting left. And since this is the model forecasting the worst performance of the week, the evolution of the forecast suggests the markets may not be headed for quite as big a drop as this particular model thinks.
Bottom Line of Forecast Evolution: The forecasts might be a little lower than where they would be if there were another round of forecasting, but it's not entirely clear.
You can see the "evolution" data on "Forecast Archive" section of the Stock Market Forecast page by clicking on the tabs at the bottom of the chart.

24 July 2008: PostEurop, a
Restricted Union representing 48 European public postal operators, has agreed
to form a joint technical committee with the Universal Postal Union's (UPU)
Sustainable Development Project Group, which will establish measures to reduce the
sector's carbon dioxide emissions.
The agreement comes under
the framework of the partnership agreement for a more environmentally friendly
postal sector concluded between the UN Environment Programme and the UPU in May
2008. Under the agreement, PostEurop's Environment Working Group will share the results of its greenhouse gas reduction
programme, which aims for a 10% reduction by 2012. Both
organizations expressed the hope that the agreement would lead to an effective carbon management policy for the whole postal
sector. [Universal

Erie school prepares to light up the night with Tech the Halls
It's time to Tech the Halls.
Central Career and Technical School students are getting ready to flip the switch on the third annual Tech the Halls, an elaborate lighting display featuring more than 30,000 lights synchronized to holiday music.
A lighting ceremony is scheduled for tonight at 7:15 p.m. outside the main entrance to the school, 3325 Cherry St.
More than 200 students created and designed the display, which will also include nearly 100 spotlights and two lighted tall ships in honor of the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.
The lights are synchronized to music broadcast on the school's student-built radio station at 93.1 FM. The station can be picked up while parked along Cherry Street.
The display will continue nightly from 6 to 10 p.m. following the lighting ceremony and run through Jan. 2.
All costs associated with the project have been covered by student fundraising efforts and the generosity of local donors and businesses.

Section 504 Process
1. Concern
A student, parent, teacher, counselor, or administrator has a concern that a student may need support. Strategies are developed and implemented to address the concern.
2. Referral to the Building Intervention Team (BIT)
If the strategies are not successful, the concerned individual should complete the BIT referral form. The referral form documents the original concern, the strategies implemented to address the concern and the outcome of the strategies.
3. Decision to Evaluation
The BIT reviews the referral, the student's file, and the strategies implemented so far, and consults with teachers, parents, student, peers, or anyone who has information. The BIT decides whether it appears the student might have a disability or other need.
If the BIT believes that the student may be eligible under IDEA or may be an English language learner or have other needs, the BIT refers the student for evaluation under those processes.
If the student appears to have a disability under 504, the BIT gives the parents a Notice of Action and Rights and refers the student for evaluation. The parents must provide consent prior to this initial evaluation.
If the BIT decides the student does not appear to have a disability, the BIT suggests other strategies for resolving the concern and gives the parents a Notice of Action and Rights.
4. Evaluation
Once the parents have provided consent for evaluation, at least one expert in the area of the student's suspected disability evaluates the student. The parents may also choose to have their own expert evaluate the student in addition to the district's expert, at their own expense.
5. Eligibility Decision
A 504 Team is convened to review the evaluation data and decide if the student is eligible under Section 504. At that time, the 504 Team fills out the Section 504 Eligibility Determination Form. The 504 Team must include persons knowledgeable about the student, the evaluation data, and placement options. In making its eligibility decision, the 504 Team must consider information from a variety of sources, including any relevant information submitted by the parents. The student is eligible if the student has an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. The 504 Team can also refer the student for IDEA, ELL, or other evaluation if appropriate.
If the 504 Team determines that the student is eligible under 504, the 504 Team gives the parents a Notice of Action and Rights and the 504 Team convenes to develop a 504 Plan.
If the 504 Team decides that the student is not eligible, the 504 Team gives the parents a Notice of Action and Rights and suggests other strategies for resolving the underlying concern.
6. Develop a 504 Plan
Once a student is found eligible under Section 504, the 504 Team convenes to develop a 504 Plan. The 504 Plan can be developed at the same time that eligibility is established if the 504 Team wishes. The 504 Plan describes the student's needs and what services or modifications will be provided to address the student's needs. The 504 Team gives the parents a Notice of Action and Rights and a copy of the 504 Plan. The district must receive consent from the parents for initial placement.
7. Review Plan
The 504 Team will convene annually to review the 504 Plan to ensure that the 504 Plan is meeting the student's needs. If the 504 Team decides that the 504 Plan needs to be modified, the 504 Team gives the parents a Notice of Action and Rights.
8. Reevaluation
The 504 Team must periodically reevaluate the student to determine if the student is still eligible or if the student has additional needs. Before a reevaluation, the 504 Team gives the parent a Notice of Action and Rights. Reevaluations must occur at least every three years or before any significant change in placement. Changes in placement include the discontinuation of services, changes of services, and long-term suspensions and expulsions.

Aerobic exercise is highly beneficial for maintaining the integrity of the cardiovascular system. It is composed of a number of organs that manage the flow of blood through the body. While the heart is a major component of the cardiovascular system, blood vessels also play an important role. Incorporating aerobics into a regular exercise routine is crucial for those who want to strengthen all aspects of the cardiovascular system.
Understanding Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise is a form of physical activity that relies on an adequate oxygen supply to meet the needs of the body, says the American College of Sports Medicine. As opposed to resistance training, aerobic exercise is generally composed of a series of repetitive movements, done without rest, for an extended period of time. The constant exertion of aerobic exercise stresses the heart, and ultimately produces improvements in the strength and contractility of the muscle. As the strength of the cardiac muscle increases, subsequent improvements in other parts of the cardiovascular system -- such as the arteries and veins -- also occur.
Walk This Way
While there are a number of different types of aerobic exercise that can be beneficial when it comes to strengthening the cardiovascular system, the American Council on Exercise says that walking, swimming and biking can be especially beneficial. If you find structured exercise tedious, you may prefer outdoor activities, such as hiking and kayaking. Though doing the same type of aerobic activity at each workout is effective, performing various forms of aerobic exercise through cross-training provides the same positive benefits and helps keep boredom to a minimum.
Choosing the Right Intensity
As with any type of exercise, understanding how much is too much -- or too little -- is important for those who want to strengthen their cardiovascular system. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends exercising at intensities between 60 and 85 percent of your resting heart rate. Determine your resting heart rate by finding your pulse at the wrist or neck, and counting the number of beats that occur during a 60-second period. Multiply this number by 0.60 and 0.85 to find the perfect heart rate zone for aerobic exercise training.
Maintaining Safety with Aerobic Exercise
Though there are a number of benefits associated with aerobic exercise, this form of physical activity is not without risk -- especially if you're new to exercise. If you've been relatively sedentary in the past, consider undergoing a physical to ensure you are healthy enough for exercise. Consultation with a physical therapist, exercise physiologist or personal trainer can also be useful when it comes to starting a new aerobic exercise routine. These experts can provide tips and recommendations to ensure safety is maintained during aerobic exercise.

What was your source for this sewing project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Insulated Lunch Tote
What materials did you use? Laminated cotton, webbing, 1/2" double fold bias tape, buckle, Insul Brite
What are you most proud of? When I was designing the pattern,I got the math right when I calculated the measurements. I love it when all the sides line up! I also perfected my double-fold bias tape technique making this. I plan on making my own bias tape on the next one.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Laminated cotton can be a pain to work with - but don't give up. I used a walking foot and some quilt basting spray. I've taught this class twice and they all turned out (some are in the picture). Everyone was amazed by how easy the bias tape was to sew.
Sorry - double (triple?) post!! I thought the first one was lost.
Is there a reason the project instructions are missing?
Yes, I'm finalizing and editing my pattern. I hope to have it available in the next few weeks! thanks for the interest!
I love this bag also - beautifully finished! I'll be waiting for the project instructions also
Thanks...one of these days I'll get the pattern posted. I teach and am on break now...so it's one of my goals!
YAY! I finally got the pattern done and posted to ETSY! You can link to it via the green button below the picture. Thanks!
Pattern is also available in my Craftsy Pattern store!
Ah! Love the bag!

The world is gripped by a much-vaunted Crisis of Capitalism. But in Greece, the epicentre of the storm, it looks strangely similar to the Crisis of Communism.
The ancient democracy has been jokingly dubbed the "Last Communist Country in Europe" because of the size of its public sector.
Like the Soviet Union before it, the country is tottering because it can no longer pay all its state employees.The public sector is estimated to account for over 46 per cent of the Greek economy. The IMF admits that are not even any reliable figures for the number of state workers.

HOLLAND – Voters in Holland and Zeeland townships go to the polls on Tuesday, May 7 to decide if they want their tax dollars to support the West Michigan Regional Airport in Holland.
Meanwhile, voters in the Zeeland Public School District will decide whether to renew a tax levy that supports the community recreation program for the next decade.
Voters in the two townships will be asked to approve a 0.1-mill levy for five years to support the airport. If approved, it would generate more than $143,000 for the West Michigan Airport Authority, which was established in 2008 to take over operations of the airport from the city of Holland.
For Holland Township voters, it's the second time they've been asked to support the airport authority. In May 2008, voters in the cities of Holland and Zeeland, as well as Park Township, approved the 0.1-mill levy for the authority, but the measure was defeated by Holland Township voters by a 55-to-45 percent margin.
However, supporters are optimistic that Holland Township will change its mind this time around. The township board earlier this year voted unanimously to join the authority, pending the outcome of the election. Supporters say regional support of the airport has helped employers create more jobs over the past several years.
"There's a building on James Street (in Holland Township) that was empty in 2008. Today, there are 900 Gentex Corporation employees in that building, and Gentex uses the airport heavily," said Jim Storey, spokesman for the Jobs and Economy Team (JET), which is promoting approval of the levy.
"It's a millage that has a five-year track record and it's a track record of producing results. Every one of (the employers that use the airport) has produced more jobs."
Six of the top 10 users of West Michigan Regional Airport, formerly known as Tulip City Airport, have manufacturing operations in Holland Township, Storey said.
Meanwhile, it's the first time Zeeland Township voters have been asked to support the airport. The Township Board voted in March to join the authority, pending the outcome of Tuesday's vote.
The three current airport authority members – Holland, Zeeland and Park Township – all approved renewals of their tax levies for the authority last November. Support levels ranged from 55 percent approval in Park Township to 57 percent in Holland.
The Zeeland recreation millage, if approved, would generate more than $520,000 to support a recreation program that offers everything from Little League baseball to dance classes and learning how to use computer programs, said Rick Van Dorp, a city councilman who sits on the recreation board and is co-chair of the renewal campaign.
"It goes without saying what a detriment it would be to the department it would be if the millage did not pass," said Van Dorp, noting the tax levy makes up about 50 percent of the department budget.
Having the levy in place allows the recreation department to offer programs at much more affordable rates than in neighboring communities, Van Dorp said.
More than 18,000 people, ranging from preschoolers to senior adults, participated in Zeeland Recreation programs last year, Van Dorp said. The levy costs the owner of a home with a market value of $100,000 a total of $20 per year, Van Dorp said.
Zeeland recreation serves the entire Zeeland school district, a 94-square-mile area that takes in the city and portions of eight townships, ranging from Robinson Township to the north to Salem and Overisel townships in Allegan County to the south.

Online Poker to be live by late 2012
Yesterday the Nevada Gaming Policy Committee, led by Gov. Brian Sandoval, met again to discuss online poker within the state, this time in a public setting.
Nevada could very well be live before 2013 according to Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board Mark Lipparelli, one of 11 members on the panel, stating that the first real-money operator licenses, which are exclusively for casinos, will come through in 60-90 days.
Only three companies so far have been given approval to provide online poker software to Nevada casinos, which are Bally Technologies, International Game Technology and Shuffle Master.
Licensing and technology inspection are the only impediments to play commencing, as the Gaming Policy Committee voted to recommend that the state legislature remove some of the prohibitive language from 2011's online poker bill.
The bill was passed before the Department of Justice clarified the 1961 Wire Act in December of last year. The opinion made intrastate web gaming free and clear of violating federal law. Soon, the Nevada legislation won't require waiting for the federal approval.
Nevada will have its autonomy for intrastate web card playing. However, due to concerns about a small potential player pool, online operators within the state will want the lawmakers to make some deals.
State-to-state or state-to-nation compacts would infuse the soon-to-be Nevada sites with more players and greater revenue. The Committee said Tuesday that it will urge lawmakers and other state officials to "explore" the legal possibility of such partnerships.
After four meetings, the Gaming Policy Committee is now on a break, giving the Assembly and Senate, the Gaming Commission and the Gaming Control Board a handful of objectives to pursue and more clarity on some issues as Nevada inches closer to the first ever real-money site under the supervision and taxation of a state government.

Village Council Wednesday night decided not to continue with the Vista program next year due to funding issues.
Council voted 5 to 1 against enrolling for 2014 in the second year of the three-year program that has provided community development coordinator Justin Hite to raise awareness and funding, as well as secure grant funding, for renovations at the Cherry Valley Beehive Coke Ovens. Councilwoman Shana Prince was the only affirming vote.
According to Village Administrator Gary Phillips, the program will cost the village $7,000 to participate. Currently the Coke Ovens Fund has $7,884.33, and council members expressed concern in nearly depleting the fund without knowing the additional costs associated with immediately continuing with the program.
Prince said before the vote that she is worried the program will not continue if stopped now.
"I think it's a great program; we get a full-time, awesome employee for $7,000 year," she said. "You can't expect volunteers to take on full-time hours."
Others on council, though, indicated that participating in the program would be negligence with taxpayers money.
"We keep going for these grants when we don't even know what the maintenance costs associated with [the renovations]," said Steve Clunen. "I mean, we have trouble keeping the grass cut on High Street."
Clunen and council President Dan Summers pointed out that if the fund is depleted just to participate in the program, money that could be used on other projects will be needed to meet additional costs.
"I can't see spending $7,000 for parks...when we need to use it elsewhere, where it can be used better," Summers said.
Hite noted that the program can be continued at a later time, but that the program is operating on a year-to-year basis due to changes in federal funding.
"We were actually surprised that Leetonia got an offer for next year," he said.
In other business council discussed possibly accepting sealed bids, with the right to reject all bids, for the old Sky Bank building on Main Street that was gifted to the village in November. Council originally considering using the building for office and storage space, investing in various renovations, but has decided against such a move due to cost restrictions, according to Phillips.
Phillips noted that he spoke with an auctioneer and didn't think the building would sell for enough to make it worthwhile.
Council agreed to consider the issue at its next meeting.
Also at the meeting, Fiscal Officer Randy Chismar reported that the village could be saving $14,000 in workers compensation through a handicap reimbursement for one current incident and up to the same amount for a second one. The village would have to pay an attorney $200 an hour for approximately three hours to fill out the reimbursement application and split the $14,000 savings with GeoStar Professionals, the performance auditing company hired by council in May to find cost savings. Council requested Chismar discuss the issue with the village's current third party facilitator for workers compensation to see if they can complete the application instead.
Council also approved amended ordinances for pay increases for police and salary workers that correct the amount various positions should be paid.
The next regular council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sept. 4 at Village Hall, preceded by a Water and Sewer Committee meeting at 6 p.m.

Click play to watch Sen. Lieberman's entire speech.
2008 Republican National Convention By Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.
Thank you for that warm welcome. I am honored to be here.
We meet tonight in the wake of a terrible storm that has hit the Gulf Coast but that hurts all of us, because we are all members of our larger American family.
At times like this, we set aside all that divides us, and we come together to help our fellow citizens in need.
What matters is certainly not whether we are Democrats or Republicans, but that we are all Americans.
The truth is, it shouldn't take a hurricane to bring us together like this.
Every day, across our country, millions of our fellow citizens are facing huge problems.
They are worried about their homes, their jobs, and their businesses; they are worried about the outrageous cost of gas and of health insurance; and they are worried about the threats from our enemies abroad.
But when they look to Washington, all too often they do not see their leaders coming together to tackle these problems.
Instead they see Democrats and Republicans fighting each other, rather than fighting for the American people.
Our founding fathers foresaw the danger of this kind of senseless partisanship. George Washington himself - in his farewell address to our country - warned that the "spirit of party" is "the worst enemy" of our democracy and "enfeebles" our government's ability to do its job.
George Washington was absolutely right. The sad truth is - today we are living through his worst nightmare, in the capital city that bears his name.
And that brings me directly to why I am here tonight. What, after all, is a Democrat like me doing at a Republican convention like this?
The answer is simple.
I'm here to support John McCain because country matters more than party.
I'm here tonight because John McCain is the best choice to bring our country together and lead our country forward.
I'm here because John McCain's whole life testifies to a great truth: being a Democrat or a Republican is important.
But it is not more important than being an American.
Both presidential candidates this year talk about changing the culture of Washington, about breaking through the partisan gridlock and special interests that are poisoning our politics.
But only one of them has actually done it.
Only one leader has shown the courage and the capability to rise above the smallness of our politics to get big things done for our country and our people.
And that leader is John McCain!
John understands that it shouldn't take a natural disaster like Hurricane Gustav to get us to take off our partisan blinders and work together to get things done.
It shouldn't take a natural disaster to teach us that the American people don't care much if you have an "R" or a "D" after your name.
What they care about is, are we solving the problems they are up against every day?
What you can expect from John McCain as president is precisely what he has done this week: which is to put country first. That is the code by which he has lived his entire life, and that is the code he will carry with him into the White House.
I have personally seen John, over and over again, bring people together from both parties to tackle our toughest problems we face -to reform our campaign finance, lobbying and ethics laws, to create the 9/11 Commission and pass its critical national security reforms, and to end the partisan paralysis over judicial confirmations.
My Democratic friends know all about John's record of independence and accomplishment.
Maybe that's why some of them are spending so much time and so much money trying to convince voters that John McCain is someone else.
I'm here, as a Democrat myself, to tell you: Don't be fooled.
God only made one John McCain, and he is his own man.
If John McCain was just another go-along partisan politician, he never would have taken on corrupt Republican lobbyists, or big corporations that were cheating the American people, or powerful colleagues in Congress who were wasting taxpayer money.
But he did!
If John McCain was just another go-along partisan politician, he never would have led the fight to fix our broken immigration system or to do something about global warming.
As a matter of fact, if John McCain is just another partisan Republican, then I'm Michael Moore's favorite Democrat.
And I'm not.
Sen. Obama is a gifted and eloquent young man who can do great things for our country in the years ahead. But eloquence is no substitute for a record - not in these tough times.
In the Senate he has not reached across party lines to get anything significant done, nor has he been willing to take on powerful interest groups in the Democratic Party.
Contrast that to John McCain's record, or the record of the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton, who stood up to some of those same Democratic interest groups and worked with Republicans to get important things done like welfare reform, free trade agreements, and a balanced budget.
Governor Sarah Palin, like John McCain, is a reformer who has taI ask the indulgence of those in this hall tonight, as I want to speak directly to my fellow Democrats and independents who are watching.
I know many of you are angry and frustrated by our government and our politics and for good reason.
You may be thinking of voting for John McCain but you're not sure. Some of you have never voted for a Republican before and in an ordinary election, you probably wouldn't.
But this is no ordinary election, because these are not ordinary times, and John McCain is no ordinary candidate. You may not agree with John McCain on every issue.
But you can always count on him to be straight with you about where he stands, and to stand for what he thinks is right regardless of politics.
As president, you can count on John McCain to be a restless reformer, who will clean up Washington and get our government working again for you!
So tonight, I ask you whether you are an independent, a Reagan Democrat or a Clinton Democrat, or just a Democrat: This year, when you vote for president, vote for the person you believe is best for the country, not for the party you happen to belong to.
Vote for the leader who, since the age of 17, when he raised his hand and took an oath to defend and protect our Constitution, has always put our country first.
So, let's come together to make a great American patriot our next great president!

The unusual name was given to this area by early traders in the 1700's because they mistakenly believed it was the estimated number of miles to the Cherokee village of Keowee in the upper South Carolina foothills. By the early 1700's, Ninety Six village reached its peak with a growing population, 12 houses and a newly constructed courthouse and jail.Ninety Six figured prominently in the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution. The first land battle south of New England was fought here in 1775 and in 1780, the British fortified the strategically important frontier town. From May 22 to June 18, 1781, Major General Nathanael Greene with 1,000 patriot troops staged the longest (yet unsuccessful) siege of the Revolutionary War against 550 loyalists who were defending Ninety Six.

The American Lawyer Ranks WilmerHale Among Top 20 Pro Bono Firms
THE UK BRIBERY ACT 2010Publication of Guidance on Adequate Procedures; Act Implementation Date 1 July 2011
IntroductionImplementation of the UK Bribery Act 2010 (the Bribery Act), which was originally scheduled for April 2011, was delayed pending publication of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) guidance on the "adequate procedures" that businesses should put in place to prevent bribery. Under the Bribery Act, "adequate procedures" could provide a defence to the new section 7 offence under the Bribery Act of failure of a commercial organisation to prevent bribery. The MoJ said that it aimed to make the guidance as "practical and comprehensive" as possible: it will apply to UK commercial organisations as well as any non-UK commercial organisation that carries on a business or part of a business in the UK. The MoJ published its final guidance on 30 March 2011 (Guidance) and businesses had three months before the Bribery Act came into force on 1 July 2011 to review and implement anti-corruption procedures to ensure that they do not fall foul of the new section 7 offence. The MoJ had also published a short "Quick start guide" specifically aimed at smaller businesses. In the introduction to the Guidance the UK Secretary of State for Justice, Ken Clarke, says: "the UK wants to play a leading role in stamping out corruption and supporting trade-led international development." However, he also emphasises that "combating the risks of bribery is largely about common sense, not burdensome procedures. The core principle [the Guidance] sets out is proportionality." Common sense and proportionality are therefore common themes throughout the Guidance. Also, some highly publicised problem areas have been clarified after substantial lobbying from industry; for example, what is meant by carrying on business in the UK. In addition, various statements are made reinforcing the point that reasonable and bona fide hospitality is considered an acceptable business practice (even with references to particular sporting events) in order to reassure the corporate community that hospitality is a normal part of doing business.
Proportionate Procedures
The Guidance opens by saying that it is designed to be of general application, not prescriptive and not a one-size-fits-all policy document. Businesses should adopt a risk-based approach. Where the risk of corruption faced by a business is low, not all the procedures in the Guidance may be relevant and so businesses must implement procedures proportionate to the risks that they face. Whether the procedures adopted are in fact adequate can only be resolved by the courts, taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case. The Guidance provides a best practice for commercial organisations to adopt.
The Guidance first addresses the key sections of the Bribery Act, and then suggests procedures that should be adopted to deal with the prevention of bribery around six key principles. The Guidance states that these principles are not prescriptive but are intended to be flexible and "outcome focused". This allows for the variety of circumstances that commercial organisations will find themselves in.
The Six Principles
The six principles set out in the Guidance are:
There are also case studies in the Guidance which, although not forming part of the Guidance itself, are intended to assist organisations in determining what might be most appropriate for them when developing their own procedures. The case studies are not intended to set minimum standards or provide actual advice but rather, through possible scenarios, give guidance as to what procedures may be suitable. They concentrate on overseas risks, which is consistent with the UK Government's determination to stamp out bribery occurring abroad by businesses over which the UK Courts have jurisdiction.
Industry Concerns
As mentioned above, the Guidance includes a number of clarifications to deal with problems raised by industry on the scope of the section 7 corporate offence. The Guidance states that it is taking a common sense approach on the meaning of carrying on business in the UK and sets out guidance on whether liability for the offence can attach in instances such as joint venture situations or via a subsidiary.
Carries on a business in any part of the UK
The approach of the Guidance to the question of whether an overseas company can be regarded as carrying on business, or part of a business, in the UK is that this would not cover situations where organisations do not have a "demonstrable business presence" in the UK although the question is ultimately one for the courts. More specifically, the Guidance states that:
Associated persons
The Guidance confirms that the definition of a person being "associated" through performing services for a relevant commercial organisation is broad so "as to embrace the whole range of persons connected to an organisation who might be capable of committing bribery on the organisation's behalf." The Guidance includes some helpful analysis as to whether suppliers in a supply chain, contractors and joint ventures fall within this definition but also puts forward a new concept (which does not feature in the Bribery Act itself) of the level of control exercised over a person as being a relevant issue in deciding whether the person is "associated".
Suppliers and contractors
Contractors could be "associated" persons to the extent they perform services for and on behalf of the organisation. An ordinary supplier of goods would not be, but where a supplier performs services for an organisation, it may also be an "associated" person. In relation to multi-layered supply chains or a project involving a prime contractor and a number of sub-contractors, the Guidance takes a contract by contract approach applying the concept of exercise of control. There is recognition that an organisation is likely only to exercise control over its immediate contractual counterparty. Persons who contract with that counterparty and below should be viewed as performing services for the counterparty and not for the organisation or other persons in the contractual chain. However, as part of risk assessment based due diligence for such a supply chain, the Guidance recommends that the organisation should use anti-bribery procedures (and anti-bribery terms and conditions) in the relationship with its contractual counterparty and should request that the counterparty adopt a similar approach with the next party in the chain.
Joint ventures
For joint ventures involving a separate legal entity, a bribe paid by one of the employees or agents on behalf of the joint venture company should not trigger liability for the members of the joint venture company simply by virtue of the members benefiting indirectly from the bribe through their investment in the company. The existence of a joint venture entity will not of itself mean that it is "associated" with its members. Liability depends on the joint venture company performing services for the member, and the bribe being paid with the intention of obtaining or retaining business for that member.
In the situation of a contractual joint venture, the degree of control that a participant has over a joint venture arrangement is one of the "relevant circumstances" likely to be taken into account to decide whether a person who paid a bribe in the conduct of the joint venture business was "performing services for or on behalf of" a participant in that arrangement. Therefore, an employee of one participant who had paid a bribe in order to benefit his employer would, ordinarily, be presumed to be performing services on behalf of his employer only and not all the other participants in the joint venture.
The business advantage linkage
The Guidance points out (as is set out in the Bribery Act itself) that a section 7 offence will only arise if the payer of the bribe intended to obtain or retain business or an advantage in the conduct of business for the organisation. The relevant intention here is of the associated person. The fact that an organisation may benefit indirectly from a bribe through an investment or through receipt of dividends from a subsidiary, will be unlikely (in itself) to amount to proof of the specific intention required for the offence. A bribe on behalf of a subsidiary by one of its employees will not automatically involve liability for the parent company or the other subsidiaries of the parent company.
Facilitation Payments
Facilitation payments remain illegal under the Bribery Act as under previous UK law and there has been no change to the zero-tolerance position under the Bribery Act. The Guidance notes the long-term objective of the Government to eradicate such payments from business transactions. The Guidance suggests a number of set procedures to deal with the issue of facilitation payments which are set out in one of the Guidance case studies.
In circumstances where a failure to make a payment may be a matter of life, limb or liberty, the Guidance recognises that the common law defence of duress is likely to be available to defend any bribery charge. The Guidance makes reference to the joint prosecution guidance issued by the Director of the Serious Fraud Office and the Director of Public Prosecutions which considers the approach of the departments to prosecution in relation to such payments. Importantly this document highlights the public interest framework in any decision on bringing prosecutions. It also makes the significant statement that the Bribery Act "is not intended to penalise ethically run companies that encounter an isolated incident of bribery".
The Champagne Can Still Flow
There is much emphasis in the Guidance on reassuring the business community that bona fide reasonable and proportionate corporate hospitality and promotional or other business expenditure, intended to promote the image of a commercial organisation, cement good relations, or to market or present its products or services, is legitimate under the Act. The Guidance recognises that such expenditure plays an important role in commercial relations, both in the private and the public sectors. In relation to private corporate hospitality, such as an invitation for clients to a rugby international or to Grand Prix racing, the Guidance makes it clear that this is highly unlikely to be considered bribery unless the intention was to influence someone to perform his or her relevant function improperly. Proportionality is a key factor.
The Guidance covers public sector considerations when analysing bribery offences under section 6 of the Act (bribery of foreign public officials). With regard to gifts or hospitality given to foreign public officials, an offence would only be committed where it was intended that the advantage conferred on the official (or another person at his request) would influence him in his decision-making process. Generally, the greater and more lavish the hospitality or gift, the greater is the inference that it was intended to influence. However, the Guidance surprisingly endorses the concept of flights and hotels for officials if required for a genuine and justifiable business meet-up with executives from a commercial organisation, or for flights to a trip to distant mining installations in order to verify the organisation's safety requirements which the Guidance also says will fall outside the scope of the Act. On the other hand a five-star holiday for a foreign public official, to a destination unrelated to the organisation's activities, is more likely to give rise to the inference that the trip was intended to influence.
The Guidance tells us that the more lavish the hospitality or the higher the expenditure in relation to travel accommodation which is provided to a foreign public official then the greater the inference that it is intended to influence the official to grant business or a business advantage in return.
A strong message is given to companies in the business world to review their policies on hospitality and promotional expenditure as part of their anti-bribery procedures leaving it to corporates to decide what are reasonable and proportionate standards. Again, the theme is common sense not burdensome procedures.
It is clear that the Government responded to the concerns of industry and other interested stakeholders raised during the consultation period for the Guidance. Significant clarification was made on problem areas such as the meaning of carrying on business and what is, or is not, an "associated" person, both of which are important concepts in relation to the section 7 offence. A strong endorsement of the legality of hospitality and promotional activities features, together with particular examples of what would be reasonable and proportionate although an expected clarification concerning hospitality at the 2012 London Olympics was not included.
Commercial organisations both in the UK and outside the UK have worked on and implemented their procedures ahead of the implementation date for the Act on 1 July 2011. Many have prepared their policies in advance, while other companies awaited final Guidance. The Guidance allowed for more meaningful interpretation of the legislation, particularly regarding the level of hospitality which is acceptable and lawful, so that corporates could conclude that they have in place "adequate procedures" for the purposes of the Act.

Parents in Scotland have been warned that they could face fines of £30 if their children fail to attend exams.
The policy by Edinburgh City Council means that parents may be asked to cover the Scottish Qualifications Authority's exam fees where students fail to attend for "no good reason".
The threat to fine parents came to light when Donald Macdonald, the head teacher of James Gillespie's, one of Edinburgh's most respected state schools, wrote to parents before this year's exams.
However, the action has been described as "draconian" by Alan McKenzie, from the Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association.
Mr McKenzie said:

On page 245 of this volume of 475 pages, the author proclaims that the very laws underlying, according to Freud, the neurotic conflict of drives and impulses may be shown as functioning in a similar way in the total field of biology, even with regard to the reflexes. The dynamic and economic principles as Freud has introduced them into the psychology of instincts have to be regarded as general biologic laws. And on page 409 appears the statement: "There is no real opposition between the physiologic and psychologic concept regarding the problems of the neuroses. Both illuminate nothing but different aspects of the same facts."
A psychoanalytic treatise on the neuroses by a former disciple of Monakow and Forel presents the reader with the rare pleasure of following a biologically trained great mind in its attempt to base freudian psychology on natural laws. Throughout this book the author strives at

Elkins Sewing Center, located at 300 Davis Ave., stocks fabrics and associated products, sells Husqvarna Viking sewing machines and offers quilting and sewing classes for people of all skills.
Owner Sue Pifer said the classes are geared toward anyone who quilts or sews, or those wishing to learn.
"Our classes offer knowledge on a wide variety of quilting, sewing and craft techniques," Pifer said. "Classes are offered for children age 8 and up, and Elkins Sewing Center also sponsors outside speakers and events."
Some upcoming classes offered at Elkins Sewing Center will include kids summer camp and classes, a "quick trip around the world" and projects with two-piece tulip appliques.
Now celebrating 30 years of service, Elkins Sewing Center sells notions, patterns, books, DMC embroidery floss, quilt panels, projects and summer-weight fabrics.
"Elkins Sewing Center is a tourist destination," Pifer said. "Many folks riding the tourist train come to town early to shop here. Also groups of quilters come for miniretreats."
Pifer said the center is part of a group of West Virginia quilters who hold an aannual event to encourage quilters to travel the state. This event brings approximately 300 visitors to Elkins over a four-day period in June.
Elkins Sewing Center is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and it is open until 7 p.m. on Friday. The store's website is www.elkinssewingcenter.com.
In Jane Lew, Quick Quilt Cuts opened shop on Court Steet over Labor Day weekend. Owner Bev Ramsburg said the shop offers everything a quilter needs.
"We offer classes for quilters of all levels, and are working to get a kids camp together for the summer," Ramsburg said. "We currently are offering classes for strip quilts, trip around the world, table runners and quilt as you go."
Ramsburg said Quick Quilt Cuts offers a demonstration day the first Saturday of the month, where a new technique is showcased. Ramsburg said the shop also offers sit and sew, where folks wanting to complete a project can bring it in, along with their sewing machine.
"Sit and sew offers customers the opportunity to get out of the house and away from their phones so they can finish their projects," Ramsburg said. "It has been very helpful and is a good way to network and just get away."
The Alto Quick Cut 2 is Quick Quilt Cuts' newest technology tool. Using this tool allows quilters to make straight cuts through 10 layers at a time.
"This tool is the best thing since the rotary cutter," Ramsburg said.
Quick Quilt Cuts is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Its website is www.quickquiltcuts.com.
