I've had floaters for years, but I don't believe we are talking about the same issue, Eye doctors typically call pieces of membrane that that break off inside the eye floaters. It is not possible to simply remove them with an eye wash since they reside inside the eye. I think this video must be referring to particulates that are picked up externally. I hoped I had finally found a way to remove them, but disappointment sets in again.

Fair Work Australia says all workers will be given 'reasonable right' to refuse to work on new part-public holidays
- From: The Advertiser
- December 20, 2012
ALL workers will be given a "reasonable right" to refuse to work on two new part-day public holidays in South Australia, under a Fair Work Australia determination delivered this morning.
Fair Work Australia's draft determination ends long-running confusion over how to apply laws governing new part-day public holidays between 7pm and midnight on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, which were passed by State Parliament in March.
The draft determination is expected to be finalised tomorrow morning, just in time for the first public holiday, and will initially apply only to public holidays this year.
It will be backdated to 23 November, to take account of anyone working to a monthly pay-cycle, and resolves a number of key sticking points, such as whether employees had the right to refuse to work and how penalty rates would be paid.
The public holiday laws were the result of a deal between Business SA and the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association that aimed to liberalise shopping hours in South Australia.
However, the laws were attacked by other unions and employer groups - such as the Motor Trade Association and the Australian Hotels Association.
They argued the laws failed to take into account that union awards did not make provision for part-day holidays, and would create an additional burden for employers in a range of industries beyond retail and hospitality.
While the exact conditions will vary slightly between union awards, the draft determination for the retail and hospitality award sticks closely to a compromise suggested recently by a group that included Business SA and the shop workers union.
The conditions include:
- All employees will have the right to refuse to work on part-day public holidays if their employers request for them to work is not reasonable, or it is reasonable for them to refuse.
- Where a part-time or full-time employee is usually rostered to work ordinary hours between 7pm and midnight but chooses not to work, they will be paid their ordinary rate of pay for the hours not worked.
- Where a part-time or full-time employee is usually rostered to work ordinary hours between 7pm and midnight but is on annual leave, they will still be paid their ordinary rate of pay for those hours.
- Where a part-time or full-time employee is usually rostered to work ordinary hours between 7pm and midnight but has a rostered day off, they will be taken to be on a public holiday for those hours and paid their ordinary rate of pay.
- Any employees who do not receive an annual salary and who work between 7pm and midnight will be entitled to the relevant public holiday penalty rate for the hours worked.
- Employees paid an annual salary, and who are entitled to time off in lieu or annual leave for working on a public holiday, will receive this for the time worked between 7pm and midnight.
- Employees not rostered to work between 7pm and midnight will not be entitled to another day off, another day's pay or another day of annual leave as a result of the part-day public holiday.

Every time a property owner challenges an assessment and asks for a reduction of $100,000 or more in its equalized assessed valuation — about a third of a property's fair-market value — the county supervisor of assessments dutifully notifies the taxing bodies receiving that money so they can intervene if they want.
Every time a property owner challenges an assessment and asks for a reduction of $100,000 or more in its equalized assessed valuation — about a third of a property's fair-market value — the county supervisor of assessments dutifully notifies the taxing bodies receiving that money so they can intervene if they want.
Under tax caps, though, those letters ought to go to all property owners because they are affected far more than the taxing bodies.
Under tax caps, which have been in place in Boone and Winnebago counties since 1997, taxing bodies are limited to collecting the same amount of tax dollars they took in the year before, plus the rate of inflation.
So if a school district collected $100 million one year and the rate of inflation was 3 percent, that district's tax extension for the next year is going to be $103 million.
In good times, like much of the 1990s and early 2000s, when property values rose at rates greater than inflation, tax caps limited the revenues that taxing bodies collected. Tax rates declined.
An unintended consequence of tax caps, however, is that when property values fall, taxes still go up because taxing bodies can collect more money as long as the rate of inflation is above zero percent.
For example, in 2010 the rate-setting EAV of Winnebago County declined 3.1 percent from 2009. The county, though, requested a tax levy of $38.34 million, about $200,000 more than it asked for in 2009. The tax cap formula, which includes such variables as new construction and the amount of land in tax increment financing districts, allowed the county's tax extension to grow to $38.36 million, 1.4 percent more than 2009.
So when property owners receive reductions, everyone else has to make up for them.
In a way, taxing bodies challenging appeals on property taxes really are acting in the interests of the taxpayers.
"When these large properties are decreased, it creates a snowball effect," Rockford Township Assessor Ken Crowley said. "If one building gets reduced 70 percent or 80 percent, that becomes the comparable property for everything else. It eats away at your tax base, further increasing taxes on other taxpayers by increasing tax rates."
Rockford attorney Jim Tuneberg, who is hired to file dozens of tax appeals each year, says the taxing bodies have to recognize the reality of declining property values:
"A good analogy is, a Realtor receives a 7 percent commission on a $200,000 house back in 2006. Now the house sells for 100,000. It's the same time and investment by the Realtor, but her commission is half.
"The Realtor can't just change his or her commission. A taxing body should not just increase its levy every year. They need to reduce their overall budgets."

Negotiating control and achieving performance in international joint ventures: A conceptual model
Adapting well-established organization theories to international joint ventures (IJVs), this paper develops an overarching theoretical model of the determinants and effects of parent control of IJVs from an interpartner bargaining power perspective. Drawing upon power dependence, transaction costs, and agency theories, we argue that the relative bargaining power between IJV partners serves as the key determinant of control structure, and that control exerts a direct effect on the venture's performance. In addition, government influence and interpartner working relationship are critical factors that complicate the linkage between control and performance but may help to explain past conflicting results. Propositions regarding these relationships are formed for future empirical test, and implications and directions for future research are provided.

Homicide detectives have arrested a man and are searching for two others in connection with Wednesday's stabbing death of Jeffrey Quinn Walzier, 26, whose burned body was found in the trunk of a charred car parked behind a home in the Wolflin neighborhood.
Detectives were filing formal murder charges in Randall County at press time against Jeremy Clay Wilcox, 20, who was arrested early today in connection with Walzier's death, said Potter / Randall Special Crimes Unit Coordinator Lt. Ed Smith.
Wilcox was located by police before 1 a.m. driving his car and was taken to the Special Crimes Unit for questioning. After he was questioned, detectives arrested him in connection with the homicide, Smith said. Wilcox is being held in the Randall County Jail awaiting his first appearance before a judge, who will formally advise Wilcox of charges before him and set a bond.
Warrants have been issued for two other men police suspect in connection with the homicide, Smith said. Casey Harold Williams, 20, and Ronnie Vincent Gonzales, 19, are being sought by detectives for questioning, he said.
Detectives searched all night for the men and were continuing to look for them today. Both men could flee Amarillo before detectives find them, Smith said. Other law enforcement agencies are being contacted to watch for the men, Smith said. Williams and Gonzales are aware police are looking for them, Smith said.
Police believe three men worked together during the commission of the homicide. Smith said investigators have impounded a white car they believe was used to drive away from the burning 1998 Nissan Altima left in the alley.
Smith wouldn't comment on what kind of evidence detectives collected from the white car, but he did say a murder weapon has not been located.
Detectives spent the first 24 hours after discovering the body trying to positively identify Walzier, who was burned beyond recognition. Smith made a public plea for help a day later, asking anyone with information to call the Special Crimes Unit or Crime Stoppers.
Smith said the majority of their information came from two sources, a man and a woman, who called police after Smith made the plea.

The Malik Report
Good CBA news from…Pittsburgh?
by George Malik on 04/25/12 at 07:24 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Shelly Anderson reveals some surprising and very good news from the Pittsburgh Penguins' end-of-season media availability:
The NHL lost a season, 2004-05, to a work stoppage the previous time it had to hammer out a new collective bargaining agreement with the NHL Players' Association. Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik, a team union representative, is optimistic things won't be as difficult this time. The CBA expires in September.
"We've had quite a few meetings the last two or three months, which almost the whole team attended," Orpik said Tuesday. "I know a lot of that hasn't been publicized. I think there's been more communication between the two sides than people are aware of. I think both sides are pretty optimistic something will get done. I think there's too much to lose after the last one we had to have another work stoppage."
Orpik said the meetings mostly were about familiarizing players with the ideas of new NHLPA director Donald Fehr and that "I'm sure we'll get a little more intense in the next couple months."
Veteran winger Steve Sullivan said he hopes "we can get something done very quickly and we can continue to play," but he believes the players were the ones who made a big sacrifice the previous time, which was when a salary cap was introduced to the NHL.
"We made a lot of concessions in [2005]," Sullivan said. "I think they got everything they wanted—a 24 percent roll-back [in salaries], a hard cap. I don't know what else they're going to ask for this time."

Della Wells embraces family's past through art dolls
When Milwaukee artist Della Wells was a little girl, she and her mother saved cereal box tops and sent them in to get a free doll. The doll was like a little pillow, stuffed and easy to cozy up with. She also remembers getting her very first black doll. Her aunt gave it to her.
"I played a lot with dolls," she says. "They stimulated my imagination." »Read Full Blog Post

Canadian writer Alice Munro, this year's Nobel lit laureate, is included in three of the collections, with different stories in "The Best American Short Stories" ("Train") and "The O. Henry Prize Stories" ("Leaving Maverley") and a personal essay in "The Best American Essays" ("Night"). (All three works come from her 2012 book "Dear Life.") »Read Full Article

Center for Responsive Politics
Rating: 5 stars 5 5 reviews 521
1101 14th St. Nw Ste 1030 Washington DC 20005 USA
CRP aims to create a more educated voter, an involved citizenry and a more transparent and responsive government. Campaign contributions and lobbying influence nearly every policy decision that affects Americans--from their health care options to student loans and the cost of gas. CRP is the only non-partisan, independent, free source of information about how money influences federal elections and policy.
As political spending skyrockets with each election cycle, the need for vigilance and reliable data about the role of money in politics is stronger than ever. Against this backdrop, CRP serves as "the gold standard" for research and analysis on money's disproportionate influence on campaigns, politics and policy. The Center has created the largest database of its kind with millions of value-added records and billions of dollars, covering every congressional and presidential race back to 1989. Our accurate, up-to-the minute data and analysis provide Americans with the tools and knowledge they need to be empowered and demand greater accountability and transparency from our government.
Target demographics:
American voters, activists, journalists, students and academics all rely on CRP's work. International organizations look to OpenSecrets.org as a model to help them create transparency and accountability in their own countries.
Direct beneficiaries per year:
Every year, thousands of journalists rely on CRP's data to cover the money fueling American elections and shaping policy in Washington. Millions of Americans go directly to our groundbreaking website, OpenSecrets.org, to get informed about the candidates seeking their votes.
A four-time Webby winner for being the bestpolitics resource online, the Center's website, OpenSecrets.org, allows users toexplore the connections between money and politics. Freely available,easy-to-use databases track federal campaign contributions and lobbying in avariety of illuminating ways, such as by industry and interest group.

Reviews for Center for Responsive Politics

Few organizations are able to provide such an unbiased approach to advocating for a more transparent government. CRP has been working for over 30 years to give the public a clear perspective on campaign finance. They bring a unique and invaluable perspective to the world of campaign finance reform, acting as both a service and a resource for citizens, activists and anyone looking to take informed action on this topic.
The Center for Responsive Politics is unmatched in its ability to shine a light on the sheer breadth and power of money in the American political process. No other organization has more comprehensive data and analysis on campaign contributions, Washington's 'revolving door,' and the ever-growing presence of SuperPACs. CRP provides an essential service to the public.

Who's paying for this election? That's the question CRP started asking nearly 30 years ago and they're still working to find the answers and present them to the public in a clear and straightforward way. No other organization does what CRP does: tracking the source and interest group categories of all campaign contributions to candidates for Congress and the presidency, tracking lobbying efforts aimed at the federal government, tracking the personal finances of every member of Congress and top government officials - and doing it all with no political slant, other than believing this information is something every citizen should have.

I was a reporting intern at CRP during summer 2011. As an intern, I was writing and reporting daily (sometimes multiple times a day.) In three short months I gained a basic understanding of campaign finance laws, lobbying, political action committees and much more. I also learned how to write about these complex topics in clear ways that the public could understand. CRP serves an important public resource in that it allows voters to see for themselves how money is spent and where it comes from. At CRP I learned that money touches almost everything in Washington, and I had an amazing time learning it.

I was a communications intern for the Center for Responsive Politics from January to May of 2011. I can say hands-down it was the most enjoyable and educational internship of the four total internships I've had.
The staff is helpful, knowledgeable and dedicated to the admirable work of transparency in government and in federal elections. I have never worked with such an outstanding team of researchers who were always extremely quick and accommodating, particularly for a student whose knowledge of money in politics was originally pretty rudimentary.
I was attracted to CRP's mission when searching for an internship. I believe very few people would argue against transparency in the world of money in politics and CRP is at the front of that vital movement, made all the more important because of recent legal decisions and increasingly expensive political campaigns.
As an intern, I was very much a member of the CRP team -- something internships in so many other organizations lack. I researched, wrote and most importantly learned about contemporary issues of money in politics along with the rest of the staff. I never felt like an inferior in the organization and always felt welcome.
I know firsthand that many of my professors at my university use CRP data in class and in academic articles. I frequently see their name in various media outlets and always get excited, pointing to my friends "I worked there!" They might be tired of hearing it, but I don't anticipate being tired of saying it.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
an internship experience over the course of a semester as well as seeing the Center for Responsive Politics' data in various academic and media outlets.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make them bigger! The world of money in politics is vast, constantly growing and unknown to the majority of Americans. The Center for Responsive Politics does outstanding educational work but can only do so much from a small, albeit dedicated, staff. I would make the staff larger in terms of outreach, research and communications.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
It definitely taught me stronger writing skills in a journalistic way, keener researching skills particularly when using government websites and other transparency groups and self-confidence when interviewing individuals for journalistic pieces.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
I felt like I had learned a lot in a variety of fields -- money in politics (including campaign finance, personal finance, lobbying), the sunshine in government efforts, reporting and journalism.

This is why -
Now a Los Angeles appeals court has rescinded the $2.2 million damages ruling altogether and sent the case back to the district court for a new decision to be taken on the '709 patent after it admitted the district court had made a mistake in its post-trial ruling.
Therefore, it appears that the case still has some way to go, with the district court now charged with determining the validity of the '709 patent and re-evaluating the level of damages to be awarded.
With each party having to bear the legal costs of the appeal, that is sure to hurt the manufacturer more than the Staples.

" The rooms are very old, damaged and extremely outdated, linnen was clean and fresh but room smelt very musty and dirty, paint chipped, bathroom grime and mould. There was access to every room from the street level at the back and anyone could come up to your room door, without going through the lobby and not a single CCTV camera in sight. Administration staff had very bad English and personal hygiene. Cleaning staff were lovely. Only saving grace is the shuttle to downtown and airport. "- Anónimo

happy new year
I awoke at ten on New Year's morning. The sun was peeking through the windows but that didn't wake me. I woke because my man's hard cock was pressed against my ass. I was still a mess from the New Years Eve sex we'd had which was awesome as always. I let him enter me and spoon snuggle fuck me till I felt him unload deep inside me. After he withdrew, I felt him kiss me on the neck and...Read On

Halloween – Where fun and cum is to be had by all, even fugly people. NB: Not to be taken seriously
I couldn't believe what the fuck was happening. There was Eric, proud as punch with his cock shoved in some slut's mouth, occasionally glancing over at me with a ' Wow, look at me, I'm getting head ' smile on his stupid face. I love him to death, but boy, does he piss me off sometimes; no sorry, actually it's a lot of the times. It was Déjà vu and I was living my High school prom...Read On

Two young ladies get a big surprise when they invite a city gentleman to a woodland picnic.
PICNIC A bright, sunny morning with hardly a cloud in the sky; the girls had risen from their beds and had showered and dressed by 9.30. They took their breakfast of coffee and buttered toast on the terrace, sitting opposite each other with the low onyx-topped table between them. Jane was helping herself to more coffee. She was wearing a cornflower blue silk blouse. The blouse...Read On

The intoxicating smell of cum, perfume and persperiation on the sheets
I missed his touch and scent on my body so much, that I needed to see him that night after work. He never minded that I just stopped by whenever I felt like it, whether it was to talk with him or fuck him, which was really nice and comforting to me. I stopped by my house first to pick up a few things to put in my overnight back to take over. I made sure to put at least one piece of sexy...Read On

Ashley hangs out with Brad and his friends, in just a shirt, no underwear.
Jarrad's hands were between Ashley's legs. His fingertips had found their way inside her panties, and she felt her pussy lips being parted. She brushed Jarrad's hand away and weakly said, "Wait, let me get some of these clothes off." She struggled to stand and then stepped behind Jarrad. As she was undoing the remaining buttons of her skirt, Jarrad turned to watch. Ashley stopped, took...Read On

As Cali ran along the damp sand, hugging the shore of La Jolla Beach, the sun streaming down on her face, and the salt air rising up to tickle her nose, she was well aware that her trim, fit, athletic body was put to good advantage showing off her luscious curves to the staring men that she always encountered on her runs. She wore a tight white sports bra -- which she chose for its...Read On

Ashley gets into trouble, but seems to like it!
It was the short skirt and bare legs that caught Nick Cramer's attention. He was waiting for a couple slices of pizza he had ordered at one of the mall's food courts. His back was to the counter and he was leaning against it, watching a girl who was sitting alone. Hot! That girl is hot! he thought. She was wearing one of those pleated tartan skirts.

Best Uses
Used as a backdrop for a carnival themed event for 160 people. Used for Dart Throw game...added fun color, dimension, and worked perfectly.
Best Uses
I love the corrugated paper! I used to cover up file cabinets for our holiday party at work and it was great!!
Best Uses
Makes a unique covering for displays
Best Uses
I first tried corrugated paper last year to use on my classroom bulletin boards. What I thought would be good turned out to be GREAT! Because of its large size, I didn't need to put two strips up like I did with regular bulletin board paper so there is no seam, making the board more attractive. It did not fade - a HUGE improvement over standard bulletin board paper. The colors are bright and get students' attention. I purchased more this year in 2 different colors to add to my selection. A suggestion: Have a buddy help put it up so you don't lean on it and crush the "corrugation."
Best Uses
This will be used to cover a wooden free-standing octogon shaped Welcome Desk to simulate an Admission Booth. I use corrugated paper frequently as it is sturdier than paper for being used for a week.
Good for staging for play
Best Uses
Looks great on our Christmas float and creates a nice table skirt but clearly has many other uses as well.

Mosquito Source Reduction Sweeps planned for April and May
ESTHERWOOD – Mosquito Control Contractors, Inc. (MCCI) the contractor for Acadia Parish will sponsor a Source Reduction (Clean Up) Sweep (SRS) for artificial containers (sources) that breed mosquitoes. Such sources are tin cans, bottles, pots, pans, hollow plastics toys, tires, etc. (includes all containers that will hold water for 3 days or more). If anything holds water for 3 days or more, it can produce mosquitoes. Some of these container breeding mosquitoes are the Asian tiger mosquito, Southern house mosquito, and the yellow fever mosquito.
In cooperation with IESI, the new garbage collection company for Acadia Parish, dumpsters will be placed out near the Town Halls of Morse, Estherwood, and Mermentau. MCCI will furnish personnel to pickup these breeding sources on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, (April 25th, 26th and 27th). Also homeowners are welcome to bring all small artificial containers to the dumpsters for disposal. Of course, residents can dispose of all these small breeding sources in their new automated garbage cans as long as they fit and covers close. No large tubs, refrigerators, washing machines, metal boxes or tractor tires will be allowed in the dumpsters or garbage cans.
The following weekend (May 2nd, 3rd and 4th), the same Source Reduction Sweep (SRS) will take place in Egan, Iota, Church Point and Mire. Glenn Stokes, President of MCCI, says he is not only interested in getting rid of adult mosquitoes, but he is even more interested in preventing them.
Stokes said he is eagerly looking forward to the Source Reduction Sweeps (SRSs) because it will not only make public roadsides and drainage channels look better, it will eliminate the production of as many as 30-40 generations of mosquitoes per year. So these populated areas will have fewer mosquitoes that are "homegrown" and less risk for disease. For information, please call 337-785-4456.

Wow. That last one was "easy" 100 mph gas. Effortless.
Rounding third and heading for home...
100 MPH again strikes out Cuddyer. Reds win 3-0!! Combined 4 hit shutout.
I welcome criticism of the Reds, but to read this thread you'd think the Reds just lost ten in a row. Reds with three shutouts in four games.

Via Megan McArdle, Derek Lowe blogs today about an entire field of pharmaceutical research revolving around PPAR ligands that pretty much went nowhere and cost drug companies a bundle:
Allow me to rant for a bit, because I saw yet another argument the other day that the big drug companies don't do any research, no, it's all done at universities with public funds, at which point Big Pharma just swoops in and makes off with the swag. You know the stuff. Well, I would absolutely love to have the people who hold that view explain the PPAR story to me. I really would. The drug industry poured a huge amount of time and money into both basic and applied research in that area, and they did it for years. No one has to take my word for it — ask any of the academic leaders in the field if GSK or Merck, to name just two companies, managed to make any contributions.
....Honestly, I don't understand where these they-don't-do-any-research folks get off. Look at the patent filings. Look at the open literature. Where on earth do you think all those molecules come from, all those research programs to fill up all those servers? There are whole scientific journals that wouldn't exist if it weren't for a steady stream of failed research projects. Where's it all coming from?
I don't doubt that Derek saw this argument somewhere, and to be honest, I don't even begrudge him the rant. We're all sensitive to dumb arguments in our own areas of expertise, especially if we're really tired of hearing them.
But I'm genuinely curious: is there anyone of any stature who's made this argument? I've never seen it. There are plenty of arguments about the relative size of the contributions of academic and commercial pharmaceutical research, and plenty of arguments about whether, for example, the current patent regime is the best way of incentivizing commercial research. But the basic story seems to be pretty broadly accepted: universities and the government do a lot of basic research and corporations then take that research and do the work necessary to produce actual commercial drugs that attack actual illnesses. It doesn't always work that way (private companies do some basic research too), but I've never seen a serious argument that commercial pharma companies do nothing at all.
Anyway, just curious. I'm not really picking on Derek here, I guess I've just spent too much time lately being annoyed by the amount of time we all spend responding to the dumbest, most extreme forms of arguments, and then this one happened to pop up. But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong and JAMA and the New England Journal of Medicine are chock full of editorials telling us that commercial researchers don't actually do anything. If so, I'll stand corrected.
POSTSCRIPT: Of course, in the political world lots of influential people really do make dumb, extreme arguments on a regular basis. And since they're influential, they have to be responded to. But I still wonder if maybe we respond to them too much. Or maybe in the wrong way. Or something.

I don't think I want to give a cub to anyone though, they are a protected species and it is illegal to own one unless you are a zoo. So far I don't think anyone in the CJ's can state either "We bought a Zoo!" nor "I own a zoo!". So no cub for you Snow balls? Really? Kids aren't even playing in the snow now. They simply look at it and think of broken bodies, very quiet around here now that it is unsuttible to play in after a flash warming melted it down and a quick freeze made solid sheets of ice and icicles, making it like a snow sandwiche, the fluffy stuff stuck in the middle like a reeses
