Infiltrate Compound
Travel to Korlus in the Imir system to infiltrate the Blue Suns compound. We selected Miranda and Jack for this mission, mainly because this was the first mission which we had a chance to use Jack and wondered how the game would respond if we had two characters with strong biotic powers. The answer? Pretty good. And in case you haven't done so, we recommend researching the rocket launcher and have it equipped for this mission. After you land on Korlus, press forward through the remnants of this compound.
You'll come under fire from some Blue Sun troopers. Get into cover and fire back at these enemy troops using a combination of biotic attacks and some weapon fire. They are not very strong enemies, only that they are designed to keep you on your toes. Proceed over the ramp and down into the next zone to find the wounded merc on the ground.
You'll have a few options to take here with the wounded merc. Since we are playing heavy Paragon, we brought the wounded merc to our side with a healthy dose of medi-gel, and we were able to convince the wounded merc to send in a false status update to the rest of his squad. This, we presume, affected the strength of the units we faced later and gave us a +12 Paragon as well as an update to our mission: find Jedore's lab and extract Dr. Okeer.Find the Lab
Continue to press forward into the next zone and engage more Blue Suns troopers. At this point you could keep telling Miranda and Jack to use their biotics to take out most of these enemies and you wouldn't have to fire a singe shot. Just make sure you stay in cover to avoid being shot by a missile or two.
After a battle against a number of Blue Sun forces, you'll notice they were also firing on a Tank-Grown krogan. Walk over and speak to this krogran to uncover what has been happening here on Korlus. Once the conversation has met it's conclusion, the Tank-Grown will then move a large cement slab out of the way, allowing you to continue through this level.
Walk forward and interact with the Blue Suns corpse on the ground to pick up 2,000 credits. Proceed down the hill and some Blue Suns troopers will come around the corner. You won't have any cover options here -- it's just a matter of shooting them faster than them shooting you. But when you come around the corner the fighting really picks up as you will face off with some krogan.
These krogan will be armored so it's best to equip incendiary ammo to inflict damage on these enemies. You also want to open fire on these krogran from as far away as you can. They will charge you and run you over if you let them get too close. Oh, and don't take cover behind a fragile crate. They're labeled as such for a reason and are a terrible place for you to take a cover position.
The other thing that makes this firefight tricky is that there are many walkways that interconnect with each other. Instead of walking around and looking for krogran, find a holding spot and stay there until you have eliminating all of the krogan waves. Only after you have managed to successfully do this should you start to navigate through this area again.
Move through the next set of rooms, up the ramps, and start some minor loot collecting. You'll find 2,000 platinum near the body of a Blue Sun trooper at the base of the ramp after you finish fighting the krogan. Continue up the ramp, hack the door, and pick up the Sniper Rifle Damage upgrade on the ground near the dead Blue Suns trooper. You can also pick up some medi-gel and +6 heavy weapon ammo.
Leave this area to come out onto an open catwalk. Across from you will be a batch of Blue Sun heavy troopers. In short, they are weak shield-less rocket troopers. You can use some of Jack's powers like Pull to move them out of cover so you and Miranda can finish them off. Continue forward, engage more Blue Suns: regular troopers and heavies. Make sure you stay in cover during these fights, especially against the heavy -- those rockets will knock you out in one or two hits.
Continue forward to where the Blue Suns were firing on your location. Successfully hack the PDA on the ground across from the unlocked door to pick up 4,000 credits. Walk through the unlocked door and up the staircase to reach the upper level where you will encounter additional Blue Sun enemies: troopers, heavies, and legionarres/
You'll have two points from which to attack. It's best you take cover behind the pillar blocking the entrance (pictured) and send your squad through the other doorway, helping to flank the enemy position. The legionnaire is the really the only difficult enemy in this room. As long as you use incendiary ammo (it burns through shields/armor) and Miranda's Overload ability, coupled with your constant barrage of ammo fire, this special unit won't last long.
This same strategy can be applied to the Blue Suns Centurion in the next combat zone. As you travel along the catwalks after the battles, be sure to loot the corpses like the one pictured above -- he contained 2,000 credits. Continue forward and fight another group of Blue Suns troopers using the same strategies you have employed throughout this chapter: go in cover, send your squad to flank the enemy, use incendiary ammo on armored and shielded enemies. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Don't forget to search near this battle zone to pick up some heavy weapon ammo as well as a wall safe for you to hack, picking up 4,000 credits. Once you're set, proceed through the unlocked door, walk up the ramps to the upper level, and engage more Blue Suns.
Now that you're in another combat zone you will encounter more Blue Suns troopers. With Jack at your side, she will be flinging enemies left and right across the screen. Careful as you proceed further along this area because there will be a significant amount of shielded heavy troopers firing rockets on your location. Incendiary ammo and Miranda's Overload ability will help weaken and eventually finish off these enemies.
Proceed deeper into the facility to engage more Blue Suns who have taken position behind walls and stairs, firing rockets, bullets, and everything else they can throw at you. Stay in cover, return fire, and eliminate the last remaining Blue Suns.
Proceed forward to the unlocked door and interact with the secure terminal and the medical station inside to pick up 4,000 and 100 credits respectively (if you're not full on medi-gel then you'll get medi-gel instead of 100 credits). Continue into the next room, and before you talk to Okeer, walk over and hack the lab terminal on the far side of the room to obtain the Krogan Vitality upgrade. Now go over and talk to Okeer to upgrade your objectives.Fight Jedore
Leave Okeer's lab and proceed down the ramps to the battle area. As soon as you open the door put your team in cover behind the pillars to avoid fire from Jedore, her mechs, krogan, and Blue Sun troopers.
Try and take out the heavy mech as fast as you can from a distance. Use your heavy weapon and Miranda's Overload ability to weaken it's shields opening it up for damage. Until at least one mech is destroyed, that should be your priority target because Jedore will soon begin releasing tank-bred krogan berserker to flank your position. The sooner you remove mechs from this equation, the better.
Once these ancillary enemies have been defeated you'll be able to concentrate your teams attacks against Jedore herself. She'll be shielded and armored so it will help to use Miranda's Overload ability to whittle those shields down, exposing her armor to attack. Just make sure you duck into cover when you see one of her rockets coming your way. Once she has been defeated, EDI will inform you that Okeer's life signs are failing.
Quickly run up to the lab and investigate the terminal by Okeer's body. During the cut-scene you'll have some conversation optionsActivate the Krogan/Dr. Okeer's Legacy
It's up to you if you want to open the grow-tank of the krogan super soldier aboard the Normandy. For us, we opened it. The krogan, Grunt is a worthy addition to your crew. Just make sure you are able to convince him from killing you by using Paragon or Renegade choice. Otherwise, your adventure will end here in the base of the Normandy.GO TO 04 - DOSSIER: THE PROFESSORGO TO 05 - DOSSIER: ARCHANGELGO TO 06 - DOSSIER: THE CONVICTGO TO 07 - DOSSIER: THE WARLORDGO TO 08 - HORIZONGO TO 09 - CITADELGO TO 10 - ILLIUMGO TO GRUNT: RITE OF PASSAGEGO TO TUCHANKA ASSIGNMENTS

I stayed at Anna's Bed and Breakfast. The room was large on the upper level within Anna's house. You have your own bathroom and toilet. The place is clean and Anna is very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast is plentiful so no going hungry. good location within walking distance of everything really, or if you like take the tram. The only thing is if you don't like smokey smell inside the house, may be an issue for you.

Robert Reich: As we should have learned from the Great Prosperity — the 30 years after World War II when America grew because most Americans shared in the nation's prosperity — we cannot have a growing and vibrant economy without a growing and vibrant middle class.
The Cure for Plutocracy: Strike!
David Swanson: How do you get politicians living off legalized bribery to criminalize bribery? How do you persuade the corporate media to report on the interests of flesh-and-blood, non-corporate people?
Ironically, Anti-Union Republicans Need Unions
Walter Brasch: The unions had already said they would accept what amounts to an 8 percent cut. But, Walker, acting more like a caricature of a Fat Cat Boss, refused to negotiate. His demands, if put into law, would essentially "gut" public worker unions.
New Report Describes Peril Immigrant Women Face in U.S. Food Industry
Michele Waslin: Many of the women who make it to the U.S. safely are confronted with the horrendous working and living conditions made possible because of the existence of a group of vulnerable, desperate, and disposable workers.
Whom Do You Trust?
Steve Hochstadt: Those who want government to go away, or at least get a lot smaller, seem to have two ideas about how to shrink government: Cut out the "waste" and let private companies take over many of its functions. Their assumption is that the private sector can do these jobs better and cheaper. Is that true?
What Can the South Teach About Globalization?
James C. Cobb: Members of this abandoned Southern proletariat may still live far better than the average Bangladeshi can imagine, but their shattered self-esteem and dashed hopes are surely at some level a universal indication of what to expect when economic development is allowed to become an end in itself rather than the means to a developed society.

Advocates Fight Oil Companies on TransparencyTweet
February 26, 2013
Major oil companies should stop fighting transparency laws that force extractive industries to disclose payments to governments, said Dominic Eagleton of Global Witness in an op-ed in The Huffington Post.
Global Witness is part of a large coalition seeking to increase transparency in the U.S. and abroad "[b]y encouraging extractive companies to publish accounts of the trillions of dollars they pay to governments for the world's oil, gas and minerals."
This coalition, known as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), includes major oil companies like Chevron, BP and ExxonMobil, but those same companies are now trying to weaken reporting rules in the U.S.
[W]hile the EITI negotiations take place, and in a remarkably cynical move, many of its oil company members are supporting a lawsuit that if successful would destroy U.S. legislation designed to strengthen the EITI standard.
The legal action, filed by the American Petroleum Institute, an oil trade association that includes the EITI board members Chevron, BP, ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell, aims to scrap Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires U.S.-listed extractive companies to publish the payments they make to governments for each resource project they invest in around the world.
Read the rest of the article to find out why this initiative is so important and what the next steps are to increase transparency in extractive industries. The U.S. also has an EITI federal advisory committee, which includes Project On Government Oversight Executive Director Danielle Brian. See what happened at the first meeting of the committee.

The Greeley area is in for another warm day. Westerly winds are helping to block any cold air from spilling our way from Canada. Temperatures will remain unseasonably mild for the next several days across Colorado. Highs today will be in the mid- to upper-60s.
Wednesday is a major travel day across the nation and the only weather concerns appear to be for the Pacific Northwest and the northern Rockies. Wind and rain can be expected in Oregon and Washington, with snow over Idaho and Montana.
Thanksgiving will be another nice day, although it will be about 10 degrees cooler with highs in the mid-50s after a weak cold front pushes into the state. It's a dry system, so don't expect any rain or snow. Our next storm could hit early next week. The biggest change will be a drop in our temperature, but we could see moderate snow in the mountains and some light snow and colder temperatures in the eastern plains.

With three million volumes and 65 miles of shelf space, it's not surprising that books occasionally get lost at Widener Library.
Still, librarian David R. Whitesell hardly expected to find undiscovered poetry by a world-renowned writer handwritten inside a book among the library's collections.
Visiting the stacks on a cataloguing question in December 1997, Whitesell ended up in the Latin American literature section. By chance, he picked up an attractive red book. What he found would change the next few years of his life.
Whitesell, a rare-book cataloguer for Houghton Library, opened the book and found an inscription from the author to Ruben Dario.
Dario, who wrote around the turn of the 20th century, is considered one of the foremost Spanish-language poets of all time.
"Two questions immediately came to mind," Whitesell said, "Where did Harvard get this book, since it most likely [originally] belonged to Dario? And did Harvard get any other books that Dario once owned?"
Given that Whitesell previously worked with a rare-books dealer, he knew that libraries tend to buy books in batches, making the single book even "more intriguing."
Once he flipped over the small red-bound book, Whitesell realized that its back was inscribed with Dario's name, the year 1901 and a title.

Systems, Populations and Leadership
Health Systems, Nursing Leadership, and Effectiveness Science Master's
--Students may elect one area of focus for master's study: Leadership, Informatics or Population Health.
Informatics Certificate (non-degree)
--16-credit certificate program (non-degree granting); learn more about UMSN's Certificate in Health Informatics.
Master's Program Focus
The master's (MS) program is designed to prepare graduates for leadership in complex organizations and to improve health outcomes across the continuum of care. Students will select one of three focus areas: Leadership, Informatics, or Population Health. Upon graduation, students will have the skills to apply theory and knowledge gained through course work and expert-driven immersion experiences. Graduates of the Health Systems, Nursing Leadership, and Effectiveness Science MS program will be prepared to tackle the difficult challenges facing health systems in a global society.
The web-blended curriculum of the Health Systems, Nursing Leadership, and Effectiveness Science MS program incorporates self-paced learning with on-campus engagement. Interaction with our world-class faculty and other students occurs online and during approximately four to eight distributed days of on-site classes each semester, supplemented by virtual learning experiences. Due to its web-blended nature, this program accommodates working students as well as students living outside of the Ann Arbor/metro-Detroit area.
Students who complete the MS in the informatics focus area obtain content and practice hours that may qualify them to sit for a variety of informatics certifications.
"The Michigan Difference"
World-Class Faculty Leaders in Education and Practice
Michigan is one of the highest rated universities in the world, and the School of Nursing consistently ranks among the top in the country. A key component of this success is our faculty, who each contribute to the overall mission of the program, our focus on team science, informatics, outcomes research, and our dedication to student achievement. From preparing and/or executing educational training locally and abroad to consulting with health care organizations to practicing bedside patient care, our faculty are deeply and actively involved in improving health and health care, while also training the next generation of leaders.
Innovative, Groundbreaking Research Specific to Systems Leadership and Effectiveness Science
Systems Leadership and Effectiveness Science faculty are conducting research on numerous topics including teamwork, capacity to rescue, change management, health information technology in diverse and remote settings (mHealth/eHealth), research methodology and statistics,social networking, study of outcomes and effectiveness interventions, human-centered design, interdisciplinary communication, and simulation science. The research experiences are far-reaching, and our inherently transdisciplinary approach helps to stimulate new questions and supports students during the process of scientific inquiry to find the answers.
The University of Michigan Health Systems, Nursing Leadership, and Effectiveness Science Master's Program uses a combination of innovative and forward-looking initiatives to drive the curricular design. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials for Master's Education in Nursing (2011), Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's "Transforming Care at the Bedside," the Institute of Medicine's "Health Professionals Education: A Bridge to Quality," and the Institute for the Future's "Healthcare 2020" are representative of the background used to create this transformative program of science and application.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge and skills to lead interprofessional teams effectively in uncertain and complex environments
Assess the impact of health information and communication technology on health and society.
Appraise contemporary challenges and create solutions to improve the quality and safety of health services delivery.
Analyze and apply evidence to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of systems and organizations.
Specialty Appeal
The demands of the changing health care environment and the need for increased numbers of leaders educated to assume roles in inter-professionally based teams are unprecedented. Health care organizations require leaders who are prepared to address complex issues inherent in the rapidly transforming and increasingly digital health care industry. National and international organizations, including the Institute of Medicine and the World Health Organization, recognize the urgency for flexible and distinctive leadership education to transform health care systems. Individuals with deep understanding of, and appreciation for, leadership in information-enabled healthcare organizations are in high demand.
In addition to great demand for our graduates, a degree in Health Systems, Nursing Leadership, and Effectiveness Science is applicable to widely varying situations and provides for many different opportunities throughout a career. Graduates will assume a wide variety of leadership and management positions, including nurse executive, health IT specialist/analyst, nurse manager, entrepreneurs, chief executive officer, informatics executive, case manager, project director, change manager, consultant, quality specialist, educator, patient safety officer, risk manager, and many others. The education and experiences gained in this program will empower students to step confidently into a changing world of health and healthcare.
Listed below is the required curriculum for the Health Systems, Nursing Leadership, and Effectiveness Science Master's Program. Students in this program attend approximately four to eight distributed days of on-site classes each semester (see dates below), supplemented by virtual learning experiences. The Health Systems, Nursing Leadership, and Effectiveness Science Master's Program offers a fall term (September) start only. Admitted students to the fall term of this Master's program are offered a full-time (1.5 year) or part-time (3-year) program plan.

As one of the tournament's most successful nations, Argentina have enjoyed a long and glorious World Cup history. As always, the moments remembered most fondly are the goals that have flown in over the years.
This begs the question, just under two months from the tournament's kick-off in Brazil: Which are the finest strikes hit by the men in sky-blue-and-white stripes since the World Cup came into being?
Several factors have been taken into account when compiling this ranking. The importance of the game and the strength of the opposition were both key in determining where a particular goal made the list or if it made the cut at all.
But ultimately, all 15 goals on this list have one common factor. Beauty is king: If a goal does not bring a tear to your eye on rewatching, it does not deserve a place amongst Argentina's finest World Cup efforts.

The Changing Face of Email Marketing
Responsive/contextual email? It's email, but not as we know it. We take a look at its potential--and limitations.
You've Come a Long Way, Email!
Top emailers are phasing out messages that customers would consider spam, says Return Path, though there's still room for improvement. Disagree? Check your complaint rates.
Return Path Gets Into the Data Business
The email intelligence provider launches a data service built on insights derived from two million inboxes.
Return Path Merges Three Data Streams in the Cloud
For the first time, users of the email analytics provider can pull down data from other providers, consumers, and developers.
Send More Emails, Make More Money
Return Path studied 600,000 inboxes and found that marketers may be a little too shy about filling them up.
Dems More Caffeinated and Socialized than Republicans
A look into voters' inboxes finds more emails from Starbucks and Facebook for Democrats than for Republicans.
Providers Shore Up Anti-Fraud Defenses
With as much as a third of RTB ads served up to bogus sites, software companies build up arms to battle the bots and the spammers.
Biggest spammers? Marketers.
Direct marketers draw nearly three quarters of all "report spam" complaints, says a new study. Even so, email ROI numbers remain high.
A Majority of Email Marketers Are Flying Blind
A survey of 300 email marketers uncovers a lack of customer segmentation and competitive intelligence.
Return Path acquires OtherInbox
Email deliverability firm Return Path acquired email technology company OtherInbox, the company said on Jan. 10. The acquisition closed in late December, said Return Path CEO Matt Blumberg, who declined to disclose terms.
Study: Email deliverability rates stagnate at 81%
Only 81% of emails sent during the first half of 2011 reached consumers' inboxes, according to a study released by email deliverability services firm Return Path on Sept. 20.
Mobile's share of email up 81% since October 2010: survey
The share of emails accessed via mobile devices increased by 81% from October 2010 to March 2011, according to a survey released by email marketing services firm Return Path on May 17. Sixteen percent of emails were accessed via mobile device in March 2011, up from 9.2% last October, according to the survey.
Experts say e-mail marketing won't die soon: DMCNY
E-mail marketing is far from dead, but marketers will have to adjust to social media, a range of mobile devices, prioritized inboxes and new security concerns, said Anita Absey, SVP of global sales and services at Return Path, on February 10.
Deliverability tougher in US than Europe: Return Path survey
E-mail deliverability varies by international region, with European marketers enjoying better chances of reaching consumers' inboxes, according to Return Path's biannual report on message deliverability.
E-mail basics meet new tricks
E-mail marketers blend established best practices with new options, such as social media and embedded video, to engage consumers.
Nonprofits less likely to use collected data in campaigns: Return Path study
Though three-quarters of nonprofits gather consumers' names and locations when they sign up for e-mail communications, that's often where consumer data collection ends for those groups, according to a Return Path study, released October 20. Nonprofits are half as likely as for-profit companies to collect information beyond name and geographic location from their e-mail subscribers — 20% vs. 42%.

Bike Share Feasibility Study
|Update: On March 19, 2015 the Oregon Transportation Commission approved the City of Eugene's grant request of $909,066 to create a bike share system in Eugene. Partner agencies are currently discussing operational funding and sponsorship. Updates will be posted as they occur.
The City of Eugene and Lane Transit District (LTD) are exploring the feasibility of a bike share system in the region. Bike share is an innovative transportation program, whereby system subscribers have access to public bicycles through self-service kiosk locations throughout the community. The system is accessed through low-cost subscriptions ranging from one-day access to annual membership.
A bike share member can either swipe their membership key or credit card to release a bike from the station and can return it to any station in the system. The check-in and check-out transactions take a few seconds each. Therefore, bike share is ideal for short distance, point-to-point trips. Most systems allow subscribers to make as many trips as they like without additional charge, provided they return the bicycles to a station within 30 to 60 minutes. Operators generally begin to charge gradually increasing fees after this free period to discourage users from holding onto the bicycles when they are not being used, encouraging turnover and ensuring that bicycles are readily available for other system subscribers. In cities across the U.S. bike share systems have proven very popular and successful by giving residents and visitors a fast, affordable, easy-to-use transportation option.
The system in Eugene (with the option for expansion into Springfield) would enhance existing transit services and link to the small bike share program proposed for the University of Oregon campus.
The final report and appendices are linked below. Both are large files that may require considerable time to download.
Eugene Bike Share Feasibility Study Final Report (10.1MB)
Eugene Bike Share Feasibility Study Appendices (15.4MB)
Bike share is an innovative transportation program, whereby system subscribers have access to bicycles through self-service kiosk locations throughout the community. The system is accessed through low-cost subscriptions ranging from a few dollars for one-day to annual memberships that in other communities generally cost between $60 and $100 per year.
Characteristics of a bike share program:
- It is oriented to short-term, point-to-point use.
- Most rides are only around 15-20 minutes and 1-3 miles.
- The bicycle can be returned to any number of self-serve bike share stations, including the original check out location.
- Generally, the bicycles are one style and easy to operate with simple components and adjustable seats.
- The rental transaction is fully automated and there is no need for on-site staff.
Why bike share?
- Reduction of personal transportation and health care costs (these items make up over 22% of average U.S. household spending).
- Reduction in car-related carbon emissions (e.g. Denver B-cycle helped avoid 729,783 lbs of CO2 in 2011).
- Healthy commuting alternative (30 minutes of daily exercise can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease).
- Strengthen economic development and increase economic activity (77% of Deco Bike users in Miami were more likely to patronize a business with a bike share station close-by).
- It provides first-mile and last-mile connections to transit and can also help relieve the pressure on over-capacity transit lines during peak hours.
How much will bike share cost to use?
Based on a study of comparable communities and responses to a community survey the proposed pricing structure for membership and ride fees is shown below. Other pricing structures may be considered (e.g. monthly fees instead of annual memberships) as the system gets closer to launch.
| Access Fee
| Usage Fees
| 0-30 mins
| Additional Half Hours
| Annual
| $65
| $0.00
| $4.00
| 24-hour
| $8
What forms of payment are accepted?
Most U.S. systems require a credit or debit card to become a member and check out a bike. This helps make riders more accountable for all ridership costs and prevents theft. Since this issue has presented some barriers for people who don't have access to a credit or debit card, various systems around the U.S. have been implementing pilot programs to make their services more accessible. LTD and the City of Eugene will be evaluating different options to make bike sharing available to everyone.
How big will the bike share system be?
The feasibility study recommends a bike share system with 420 bikes, 46 stations, and 756 docks over 5 phases. This system size reflects national best practices related to bike station density, coverage area, and optimal bikes per station to ensure system reliability.
How much will the bike share system cost?
At full build out (5 phases) the capital cost is projected to be $2.3M. The initial 2 phases that include the University of Oregon (funded) and downtown (unfunded) is $995,000. This includes capital, installation, system startup, and pre-launch administrative costs. Operation costs for all 5 phases is projected to be $2.6M which includes operation and upkeep. Revenues and sponsorship cover a large portion of system operation costs but a shortfall averaging $240,000 per year is projected. System partners and sponsors would need to cover this operating shortfall.
Are theft and vandalism major concerns?
Existing bike sharing systems are built with security mechanisms that help deter theft or vandalism while withstanding year-round weather conditions. To this end, users must use a credit or debit card or their membership key to check out a bike, which creates user accountability. In a recent study, all existing systems reported less than 1% of bicycles vandalized or stolen.
Who will operate the bike share system?
The feasibility study identifies a non-profit owned and managed system for the Eugene Bike Share system: The non-profit can either choose to operate directly or hire a private operator. The City, LTD, and University of Oregon should have representation on the Board of Directors, be funding partners, and offer varying levels of in-kind services to the non-profit organization. Other major stakeholders will be other jurisdictions that join the system, sponsors and potentially service-oriented community members and businesses who offer in-kind donations to the system. The non-profit will be ultimately responsible for covering operating costs and raising capital funds for the system startup and expansion.
I like it! When can I expect to ride a bike share bike in Eugene?
Soon! The City of Eugene's grant request though Connect Oregon V was approved by the Oregon Transportation Commission on March 19th, 2015. The grant application would fund infrastructure for phases 1 and 2 of the bike share system. However,the schedule for implementation is dependent on many factors. Foremost, sponsorship and operational funding has to be secured before a system can launch. Community partners are currently discussing formation of a non-profit operator and sponsorship opportunities to launch and grow the system over time.

• Objective.
—To test a low-intensity physician's office—based intervention strategy using infant urine cotinine measurements, aimed at reducing infant exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
—A randomized intervention trial.
—Offices of 28 physicians (pediatricians and family practitioners) and two hospital-based clinics in the Greater Portland, Me, area.
—Infants brought to the physician by a parent (usually the mother) for an initial well-child visit. A total of 518 of these infants and their mothers consented to provide information about household smoking habits and to provide a sample of the infant's urine for biochemical analysis.
Selection Procedure.
—From among the consecutive sample of 518 enrolled mother/infant pairs, 103 mothers reported that they smoked 10 or more cigarettes per day, and these were randomized on an individual basis for intervention (52 pairs) or control (51 pairs). Randomization took place at the study center when the infant's urine sample and information about household smoking habits were received.
—The physician telephoned the mother to report the urine cotinine result and to explain its meaning. The physician then signed and sent an individualized form letter to the mother, providing specific recommendations for changing household smoking habits.
—Follow-up urine cotinine measurements were obtained in 27 (52%) of 52 infants from the intervention group and in 29 (57%) of the 51 controls 2 months later. The mean log ratio of the follow-up to initial urine cotinine measurements was 6% lower in the intervention group than in the control group. This difference was not statistically significant.
—The low-intensity intervention strategy did not significantly influence infant exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in the household.(AJDC. 1992;146:357-360)

I agree with John's assessment but would add a few more things. I would definitely go with 3 bedroom because they sell much faster than 2 bedrooms because most buyers do not want 2 bedroom properties. While you may live in it for a few years before renting it out, in 10, 20, 30 or however many years you will eventually want to sell or exchange it. You want to always think of your exit strategy (how easy it will be to sell) when you consider buying a property.
Besides choosing a REALTOR who can best help you identify the highest return on your investment by selecting the type of rental property that works best with your investment plan, you might want to make sure that REALTOR also provides property management and tenant screening capabilities in case you need to turn to him for assistance.
Selecting a tenant without a background tenant screening is an invitation to disaster as some tenants make the "rounds" from one landlord who doesn't screen to another.
Besides being a KS licensed REALTOR, I also am a KS licensed private investigator and also own a tenant screening and employment screening and property management business.
Tenant screening gives you peace of mind for free since the tenant pays for the screening fee.
The right professional to guide you through all this will make your investment property experience be a pleasant one.
Before you ask where to rent you must ask, to whom you wish to rent. For KC commuters with young families, the east side of town is good. College students desire to be close to the campus and the homes there tend to hold their value well. There are several good locations in town but you really should talk personally with an agent to best determine how to reach your goals.

New wordpress site for NOLA arts org

I set up a Slack team for Airlift. Outside of the corporate world, this is the first time I've convinced a team to take the leap. Hallelujah. I've set up six more Slack teams for projects I'm involved in. Let's see how long it takes for it to catch on for my groups. I'm guessing six months.
Slack in the real world
I set up Slack teams for three groups I am part of. Will they take to it? I get the feeling it won't happen right away… probably six months from now when they hear that their little niece is using it to organize her soccer team or Girl Scout troop.
How it works
You get an email for a team you are on. Like say – I don't know you are getting married. Unless you are eloping, you are on a team… and your team is on a journey. Fasten your seat belt.
Slack does a lot… but the best thing is channels. So #centerpieces – moms, there you go.
Brother and soon to be brother-in-law have strong opinions about craft beer? #craftbeer_to_be _served. Have at it fellas.
#expenses – Ooh.. Let's make this one private and invite in only the people that need to be there.
That's it.. that's Slack. Does a bunch of other shiz. Send documents. Direct messaging. But the main deal.. you don't have to read every dog gone email just because someone thinks it's important and shot it out to the whole group.
Everyone can do their business in a safe setting
Let's be very clear. Many of us have been in a nightclub bathroom where all the rules go out the window. People of both sexes, all sexual orientations, and identities, are doing their hair, taking a piss, doing blow, or maybe even starting a family in one of the stalls – in whatever bathroom happens to be free. And in the context for that night – the code of conduct is temporarily lowered by consensus. And you would hope, should something get out of hand – people would do something in pretty quick order.
That is not what we are talking about here. In your Walmarts, your schools, your goverment offices and business.. your highway rest stops – there are rules to make sure that creepy stuff is not happening and that everyone can do their business in a safe setting. Everyone. Creepy behavior does not belong in public bathrooms. If I walk into a public bathroom and see a straight man shooting up, i'm turning right around and filing a complaint.
Be-ing trans-gender is a real. It is not behavior – it is an identity. There's nothing creepy about it. Here's an expert link to get up to speed. If you are not up to speed, ok.. But no time like the present to get informed.
Bio Documentaires – Two Challenging Artist
I recently watched – back to back – What Happened Miss Simone? – a documentary about Nina Simone – and Beware of Mr. Baker? – a film about the rock drummer Ginger Baker for the 60s rock band Cream.
All i can say is. Holy shiz. Like – holy mother flipping shiz. I had heard she was mad as a hatter. But I had no idea. She once walked up to Martin Luther King and shouted I'm not non-violent. On stage, her personal demons fueled by the indignities of the times enhanced her performances to hypnotic and frightening levels.
Ginger Baker looks, plays, and acts like the spawn of Satan. Not someone to turn your back on.
But – wow – what incredible artists. Ginger Baker is really a jazz drummer. Would have been wild to seen them on stage together. What would that have been like?
current gig
I'm currently under contract for a year working with ReelFeed.tv – helping to develop their VPAID applications.
Comfy, Cheap, Light and Mobile
Best purchase of the year for almost less than $100. A comfy, cheap, light and mobile air mattress. Have a patch kit to repair holes in less than 10 minutes. This is honestly the best bed I've ever had.
AirBnB Across the Country
Come stay with us in Portland (OR), Brooklyn (NY), or New Orleans. We began hosting a couple years. I am the online manager, but there's a team in each city to meet and greet you, clean up, respond to situations. We can point you to all the cool places or events – whether it's the Ooh Poo Pah Doo Bar in Treme, or drinks with us under our big oak tree in Portland, or hipster dives in the far reaches of Brooklyn/ Queens.
Private Br/Bath – Historic NE PDX. Our big house in the Historic Irvington neighborhood of NE Portland. This is a shared house. We sleep upstairs. The bedroom and bath we rent out are downstairs – so you will have as much privacy as you want. Have a glass of wine and food with us under the big oak tree in the front yard. Borrow one of our three bikes and see the town.
Brooklyn – Funky 1 Bedroom. On the hipster frontier in Bushwick. Much cheaper and more authentic than the super gentrified parts of Brooklyn (do you hear that Williamsburg?!). Close to the L train and J/M/Z trains.
New Orleans
The Big Chief's House / Rooms – This house belongs to a Mardi Gras Indian Big Chief. Located in a safe quiet working class neighborhood in Mid City – it's close to everything . A 20 minute bike ride down tree lined Esplanade Ave. gets you to the French Quarter. It's 1/2 a block from City Park. A short walk to the Fair Grounds (Jazz Fest). Check our reviews.We rent the house as a whole and individual rooms.
And we have a bike we can loan out.
Come stay with us!
Here's an awesome tune I've never heard. Great for late night driving, thinking, and hatching of schemes. I know noting about Dennis the Fox, but i love his haircut and serial killer glasses.

Sociology Major
The department of behavioral sciences focuses on the disciplines of psychology, criminology, sociology, behavioral neuroscience, community health, and animal studies. These disciplines address different dimensions of behavior that can be integrated to form a comprehensive understanding of our human experiences.

To this end, the principles of human behavior are presented within the context of an interdisciplinary liberal arts educational program.
Sociology involves the systematic study of behavior in human social systems, varying from small groups to large societies. In addition to course offerings, departmental majors are encouraged to work in community, social and/or correctional agencies where they can apply classroom knowledge to real problems.

Burma is about to become a business battleground for two old brewing adversaries intent on capturing the region's last great untapped beer market.
One-time partners Carlsberg of Denmark and Thai Beverage of Bangkok, who fell out in a business dispute seven years ago forcing Carlsberg to quit the lucrative Thailand market, are both planning to brew and sell their brands in Burma.
The fallout between the two big brewers was acrimonious, leading to a court action in Singapore in which Carlsberg ended up paying US $120 million damages to Thai Beverage, which had unsuccessfully sued for $2.5 billion.
Carlsberg has only just re-entered Thailand after an eight-year absence, teaming up with Thai Beverage rival Singha Corporation. Now the two firms will be competitors in Burma, where Bangkok-based Singha also plans to sell its beers.
"Burma is a brand new market for beer where per capita consumption is very low, not much more than 10 percent of the volume drunk in Thailand and Vietnam. Burmese don't have a lot of disposable income so I think we are going to see some fierce competition with stuff like a price war as the competitors try to garner market share and knock rivals out," said an industry insider in Singapore, who spoke to The Irrawaddy this week on condition of anonymity.
Carlsberg has formed a partnership with Myanmar Golden Star Breweries, which has links with the Burmese military. The Danish giant sought a joint venture with Golden Star 15 years ago, but human rights groups in Europe brought the firm's links to the military to light, effectively blocking the deal.
Carlsberg says its new partnership will initially involve distributing its brands in Burma, but there are also plans to build a new brewery.
Thai Beverage—also called ThaiBev—is owned by one of Asia's wealthiest men, Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, ranked in the world top 100 richest people by Forbes Magazine with over $11 billion. His company has gained a foothold in Burma by acquiring Singapore-based Fraser and Neave, primarily a non-alcoholic sporting drinks producer, but which includes Myanmar Brewery among its assets.
Charoen now owns 55 percent of Myanmar Brewery, whose other major shareholder is the army-controlled Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings.
Burmese at present drink on average less than four liters per year—that's only about 10 small bottles—of local brand beers which for many people on low pay are still a luxury drink. In neighboring Thailand annual per capita beer consumption is 25 liters and in Vietnam it's 30 liters.
"The two brewing companies will be banking on an economic boom in Myanmar [Burma] turning beer into an everyday commodity accessible to most adults," the Singapore industry insider said. "The potential is big but it's a business gamble, especially because there will be two large investors fighting for dominant market share which in the medium term will keep retail prices down and profits slim."
"Thai Beverage needs to expand abroad because its home market is saturated and maturing. There isn't the volume potential in Laos and Cambodia with much smaller populations, while religious objections to alcohol stymie markets in Malaysia and Indonesia."
The arrival of the two major brewers in Burma might also lead to an injection of money into Burmese sport. Both Carlsberg and Thai Beverage are major sponsors of football teams in the English Premier League.
For years the Carlsberg logo was emblazoned on Liverpool players' shirts, while across town the name Chang adorns the strips of rival club Everton. Carlsberg has now moved in to provide sponsorship at Arsenal.
"The combination of F&N [Fraser & Neave] and Charoen's Thai Beverage creates a powerful, multifaceted player in the region," said Michael Schaefer, the chief of drinks research at Euromonitor International, a London-based consumer markets analyst.
"What's more, one of F&N's most successful brands, sports drink 100 Plus, gives Thai Beverage a foothold in one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing categories, one where it has long struggled to gain traction. F&N's 55 percent stake in Myanmar Brewery offers entry into one of the region's most intriguing emerging markets, with the potential for massive expansion over the next decade."
Carlsberg is primarily a beer producer but Thai Beverage built its base in Thailand making dirt cheap whisky and white liquor, popular among poor, rural Thais. Charoen then created the Chang beer brand and succeeded in wresting Thailand market dominance from the older and better established Singha Corporation.
Singha beer is also scheduled to go on sale in Burma, but proposals outlined by the Bangkok company in May last year to also open a new brewery in Burma may be undermined by the Carlsberg and Thai Beverage developments. Another idea by the Singha Corporation is to build a brewery in Mandalay, primarily to export into southern China.
Whether Burma eventually has two new breweries or three, it looks like there is going to be a lot more of the frothy amber liquid on sale.
Competition is great for consumers. Tourists will try Myanmar Beer anyway.
Let's consume, get pissed, smash things up, rot our livers and brains. What can be more desirable than alcohol next to the 'reforms'? Let's drink to that. Cheers.
Majority of Myanmars are very poor. They do not have green, clean and healthy communities and villages. They do not have good education, fairly equal chance of access to knowledge and skills, health care. They and their country need production and design of good and healthy products, food, within their boundary.
Right now what is happening in Myanmar is more garbage and anti-healthy culture, more dirty community, millions of stray dogs, millions peoples jobless, alcoholic drink every 10 meter distance, and every village, un-necessary ceremonies wasting huge amount of resources and man power for opening of a fake library with 100 books 80 of them are fashion and cosmetic related. Most Myanmars are under weight, under size. This make them second class, slave and or submissive type of species.
If you are a foreign investors and if you send life damaging and environment killer products and practices to such a poor country you are committing the biggest of the crimes we have ever known in the human history.
The peoples of Myanmar need
– good and healthy food production in their country
– development and research and use of environmently and healthy products
– skill and attitude and mind set of making their place clean, green and healthy
– critical thinking skills, logical reasoning, love of adventure in all context of life
– un-bias information management and open mindedness
Stop inporting alcoholic stuff, cosmetic stuff, bias information, multiple standard type of journalism, attitude of worshiping the world's dictators.
We need to start over to rebuild the country to become a good place for coming generations.
Make sure everyone is not trying to make the flow of love, respect, trust, opportunities become extremely unbalanced.
Buddhist Country! My foot!
The way people are now, Nga Ye Oo will need to be very, very big and move up above ground. Even Nga Ye is too good for the Bamar of today.
I was wondering why the authority of Myanmar allowed to advertise the Alcoholic Stuff officially in a Huge Board. In Thailand the Alcohol, Cigarette are not advertised on TV, Big Board, Magazine etc.., .
