As part of its 15th Anniversary celebrations, the Star Alliance network is offering a 15 per cent discount on all Round the World (RTW) Economy Class fares.
This special promotion is valid for all RTW tickets in Economy Class sold from May 15th to May 29th, 2012. The discount is applicable on the base fare only and not on fees, taxes and surcharges which vary by routing.
15 years after its founding, the Star Alliance network has grown to 25 member airlines offering more than 20,500 daily flights to 1,293 airports in 190 countries, thereby providing globetrotters an unparalleled choice of flight connections and destinations. RTW fares in their current form have to a large extent been made possible by airline alliances, as no single airline is in a position to offer a fare which allows truly global travel.
The Star Alliance network offers four Economy Class RTW fare levels which allow customers to travel distances of up to either 26,000, 29,000, 34,000 or 39,000 miles. The circumference of the Earth measured at the Equator is approximately 24,901 miles and the fare levels offered allow the customer to select the mileage requirement which best suits their personal travel needs. Actual fares vary by market and in general offer better value for money than purchasing individual one-way tickets on separate airlines to cover the same itinerary. Children between the age of two and 11 pay 75% of the applicable adult fare, while infants under two who do not occupy a seat can be taken along for ten per cent of the applicable adult fare.
Customers can build their own routings within the mileage limits of the different fare levels. Travel needs to commence and end in the same country, be one directional either going East or West and include a trans-Atlantic and a trans-Pacific crossing. 24 hour stops must be made in at least three cities and the itinerary may include between two and 12 additional stops (total number of stops are dependent on the actual fare type). Further information can be found at: www.staralliance.com/en/fares/round-the-world-fare/. This page also leads to the Star Alliance Book and Fly tool (www.staralliance.com/en/booking/book-and-fly/#), which allows online booking and ticketing for the RTW fare. As an alternative, customers can also contact any of the 25 Star Alliance member airlines or a travel agency.
In addition to the Economy Class fares, Star Alliance network also offers RTW tickets for travel in First or Business class, which are not part of the special promotion. In total, the Star Alliance network offers 15 different fare products, including three Circle Fares and 11 Regional Airpasses.
Note: the press release does not reflect the full terms and conditions for RTW tickets; these can be found at www.staralliance.com

Smokes just give it up man....Metro has flamed you worse than I have seen since the Starbury Wars. Just stop hating, ok. Return to sense and sensibility. Melo just dropped 62 and 35 and you haters are still talking??? C'mon man what game are you haters watching????...bad shots for the average NBA joe are high% shots for Melo. It's no coincidence that Coach K and team USA run it's offense thru Melo. Next to Durant, Melo is the best pure scorer in the league. The numbers bear it out. Chris Broussard is a high yellow donut. Where did he earn his stripes??? On the court???? Where did Chris play his college ball??? That's what I thought he is another player hating donut. Don't aspire to be like that clown. Just kick back and enjoy the Melo show like any good Knicks fan is supposed to do.
I guess we will see how willing Melo is to create cap space to get him what he feels he needs to win a title...Personally I think Melo will want the MAX contract. This does not make him less of a person but one that will care more about the business aspect that him winning a title.........Just get the feel Melo does not put 1 and 1 together,,,,..he cant have both
Here's another stat.
Chris Herring @HerringWSJ 26s Per Synergy, Melo's passes to spot-up shooters out of double-teams have led to an 77.3% effective field-goal rate -- best in the NBA.
and this post is from H20Knicks on NYKFANPAGE
Allow me to go through a myriad of stats to explain why putting Woodson's inability to design an offense and Melo's teammates inability to do anything other than sit around twidling their thumbs is not melo's fault
Part 1: How many of the Knicks shots are used by Anthony?
The Knicks are 15th in the league at 82.9 FGA per game. Carmelo averages 21.3 FGA per game. This means Carmelo takes 25.7% of the Knicks shots. Not half, or even a third, as the "all we do as is watch melo shoot" camp would have you believe.
We can take this a step further. You can say that the Knicks take 82.9FGA/48min = 1.727FGA/48 min. Carmelo plays 39.2 mpg. If you take 1.727FGA*39.2min, it tells you that the team has 67.7 FGA when Melo is in the game. Thus, when Melo is in the game he takes 21.3/67.7 = 31.5% of the team's shots. Not half, not a third. This is just when he's in the game. Not counting the 8 minutes where players arent playing with Melo.
Part 2: Who is more deserving of those shots
Carmelo Anthony is shooting 44.7% from the floor this year, and 42% from downtown. The only Knicks shooting better from the floor are Stoudemire (54%), THJ (45%), Chandler (56%), and KMart (50%). Bargnani is nearly identical at 44.2%.
When he's in the game, we all agree that Stoudemire should get the majority of touches. Melo generally feeds him well, but the guy does often get forgotten about. For now, he's injured. And he'll never be a high minute player. Amare's only getting 7.2 FGA in 19.4 minutes. If we do what we do above, 1.727FGA*19.4min = 33.5 available shots. Amare only uses 7.2/33.5 = 21.4%. Amare needs more shots than this clearly.
As for Kmart and Chandler, that's more of a matter of the inability of our guards to create, penetrate, and make passes in PnR and penetration opportunities.
THJ should be getting more of JR and Shumpert's minutes. He's taking 6.5 shots in 19 minutes. 1.727FGA*19min= 32.8 available shots. 6.5/32.8= 19.8%. So about 20%. I think that's about right for him this early in his career.
Now, there are several players who aren't even shooting 40%... JR Smith = 36.9%, Iman Shumpert = 39.0%, Ray Felton = 39.5%. Pablo and Beno are both shooting around 42.5% which is pretty solid for a guard. I take Pablo over Beno all day though because of Pablo's 6.0/1.5 = 4:1 A/TO ratio vs. Beno's 6.5/2.6= 2.5/1 A/TO ratio.
But Carmelo doesn't pass the ball!
This year, NBA.com has a ton of new stats on their site. One of them is for passing.
Let's talk Passes per game. The amount of passes per game would be a direct assessment of how willing Carmelo is to not have the ball in his hands.
Carmelo Anthony: 42.9papg in 39.3mpg = 1.09papm
Ray Felton: 59.5papg in 32.6mpg = 1.83papm
Beno Udrih: 37.7papg in 19.1mpg = 1.97papm
JR Smith: 39.5papg in 32.2mpg = 1.22papm
Paul George: 46.7papg in 36.5mpg = 1.23papm
James Harden: 42.6papg/38.8mpg = 1.10papm
Chris Paul: 73.3papg in 34.9mpg = 2.10papm
Jeremy Lin: 45.2papg in 30.7mpg = 1.47papm
LeBron James: 49.8papg in 37.4mpg = 1.33papm
Kevin Durant: 37.7papg in 38.3mpg = .984papm
So they might not pass for a purpose, but in the general sense, the Knicks pass the ball.
Now, let's look at assist opportunities. These are assists AND passes that would've been assists if the shot hadn't been missed. This is reflective of an offensive system. We've already shown that Melo passes the ball at a cmparable level as James Harden and more than Durant. But is the offense putting his passes to use? The answer is No.
Carmelo Anthony: 6.5aopg in 39.3mpg = 0.165aopm
Paul George: 7.1aopg in 36.5mpg = 0.194aopm
James Harden: 11.2aopg/38.8mpg = 0.289aopm
Chris Paul: 10.7aopg in 34.9mpg = 0.307aopm
Jeremy Lin: 7.9aopg in 30.7mpg = 0.257aopm
LeBron James: 12.2aopg in 37.4mpg = 0.326aopm
Kevin Durant: 9.8aopg in 38.3mpg = 0.256aopm
Finally, let's see how those assist opportunities are converted to assists. Are Carmelo's teammates really the worst at using the assist opportunities? Of course.
Carmelo Anthony: 3.0apg/6.5aopg = 46%
Paul George: 3.4apg/7.1aopg = 48%
James Harden: 5.5apg/11.2aopg = 49%
Chris Paul: 11.2apg/20.9aopg = 54%
Jeremy Lin: 4.2apg/7.9aopg = 53%
Lebron James: 6.5apg/12.2aopg = 53%
Kevin Durant: 5.2apg/9.8aopg = 53%
So we have all these passing stats, but if you really want to indict this offense, you want to see how many of Melo's passes are used for assist opportunities. We all know he draws a lot of attention. So is anyone doing something besides standing around?
Carmelo Anthony: 6.5aopg/42.9papg = 15%
Paul George: 7.1aopg/46.7papg = 15%
James Harden: 11.2aopg/42.6papg = 26%
Chris Paul: 11.2apg/73.3papg = 15%
Jeremy Lin: 7.9aopg/45.2papg = 17%
LeBron James: 12.2aopg/49.8papg = 24%
I think Melo is committed to the Knicks and the knicks to Melo. it would be great to see him take a pay cut to get a better team set up next season but i'm not holding my breath on that.
Tyson Chandler was never worth his previous $10M per contract, 4 teams split the bill of Tyson previous contract.
Dolan gave Tyson $56M for 4 yrs, when it shouldve been $56M for 6 yrs. Cuban offered Tyson less than that.
How on earth am I a hater you braindead moron? I gave Melo props in every post I made. I have a couple of very minor criticisms of his game and since metro lives in Melo's buttcrack he had to blow up like a psychotic ex girlfriend over the tiniest of things because someone had a bad word to say about his baby.
If you wanna continue to see Melo lose us 14/15 game winning opportunities by taking terrible jumpshots be my guest.
metro the fact you even gave this clown props disappoints me, I thought you were better than that.
Absolutely not good business if Melo wants to win a championship with the Knicks.....Since the Knicks have traded so many picks the only way we rebuild is next season by trading an expiring Stat and Tyson contract for players or picking up free agents in the summer after the 2015 season when we have a ton of cap room....again that cap room will depend on MELO........
There is no way Melo will accept guys who he thinks he is better then signing bigger contracts,,,...it was easy for Wade and Lebron to do it as they had a plan that included Bosh......Melo is at the mercy of Dolan and we all know what that means,,
Why does Melo need all that money though? He's going to be making a lot of money after he retires. He's a household name, a celebrity and is a bright man who will still work with the NBA. He's not an Allen Iverson personality.
I got faith Melo will take a pay cut so Knicks can improve their roster. He likes New York and likes playing here. He just doesnt like playing with poor teammate.
He will never need more money then he has now but thats not the point.
Players salaries and Championships is what represents to a player how great they are.
Melo has no rings. Salary might be the only way he can justify his greatness to himself.
Remember if he takes less money , especially in NY with Dolan there is no guarantee for a Championship.
No superstar has taken less then the Max except Lebron and Wade.....why would Melo ?

Vt. Land Trust buying 1,100 acresMarch 22,2013
BOLTON The Vermont Land Trust is planning to buy 1,100 acres of land that are part of a backcountry ski trail system in Bolton that will eventually become part of the Mount Mansfield State Forest, the trust said Thursday.
The trust raised the $1.85 million purchase price from more than 1,200 donations, some as small as $1 raffle tickets, three anonymous $100,000 contributions and an $800,000 grant from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board.
The trust is buying the land from the real estate ownership group Catamount Bolton LLC. The deal is expected to close this spring. Eventually the land will be transferred to the state of Vermont and it will become part of the Mount Mansfield State Forest.
The Bolton Valley Nordic and Backcountry property has a rich history of outdoor recreation, and it is part of a large block of important wildlife habitat, said Kate Willard of the Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation. We are excited about the prospect of adding this land to Mt. Mansfield State Forest and keeping it available to the public.
Once the deal is complete, the state will license the Bolton Valley Resort to continue managing the trail system in the mountains around the ski resort.
The land trust is still raising money for the project to help create a fund for management of the property, primarily maintenance and improvements to trails, roads, parking areas, shelters, recreational facilities and other recreational infrastructure and management needs on the land.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN One person was displaced in an apartment fire in Graniteville Saturday morning.

MEDIA ADVISORY From the Office of State Senator Leticia Van de Putte
For Immediate Release September 3, 2008 Contact: Alexis Fonseca, (210) 733-6604
State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, Chair of the Texas Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, to be awarded medal by National Guard Association of the United States
(SAN ANTONIO) -- The National Guard Association of the United States will award State Senator Leticia Van de Putte (D-San Antonio) with the prestigious Charles Dick Medal of Merit at her district office today. The national award recognizes the contributions of elected officials on behalf of the National Guard. Van de Putte earned the honor because of her strong advocacy of the Texas National Guard.
The award will be presented by Lt. Gen. Charles Rodriguez, who nominated Van de Putte for the medal. Also present will be, CSM Richard Vasquez, CPT Arturo Raygoza and Ray Leinder, Director of the National Guard Association of Texas.
"This is a tremendous honor for the National Guard to present this award. The Charles Dick Medal of Merit is given to individuals whose contributions have most benefitted soldiers and airmen of the National Guard, and Senator Van de Putte's contributions to our organization is a perfect example," Gen. Rodriguez said.
The Charles Dick Medal of Merit was established in 1988 to recognize the contributions to the National Guard by elected representatives to legislative bodies at the state and national levels. It is among the highest awards bestowed by the National Guard Association of the United States.
The medal is named for Maj. Gen. Charles Dick, president of the National Guard Association from 1902 to 1909, a major general in the Ohio National Guard, a Congressman, and later a Senator. Sen. Dick was responsible for the passage of the Dick Acts of 1903 and 1908 that established the modern National Guard. The award is presented to an individual who has distinguished him or herself over an extended period of time in their support to the National Guard through service in a state or national elected legislative body.
"I am honored to be recognized by the National Guard Association of the United States. The men and women of the National Guard are time proven, battle ready, and a national asset. I accept on behalf of my legislative colleagues who have aided me in passing critical legislation on behalf of the National Guard," Van de Putte said.

Vt pays back unemployment loan
MONTPELIER Three years after Vermont cut benefits to unemployed workers and began borrowing from the federal government to shore up its unemployment trust fund, Gov. Peter Shumlin hit the send button Monday to pay the borrowed money back two years early.
Vermont businesses will begin feeling the benefit in January, when their unemployment insurance tax will be reduced $21 per employee.
Theyll also avoid an increase in that tax thanks to the state paying back $54 million to the U.S. Department of Labor, Shumlin said.
I am extremely pleased to see the state and our employers relieved of these additional costs earlier than anticipated, the governor said.
This is another sign of our emerging recovery.
He cautioned, though, that the states unemployment insurance trust fund, currently at about $50 million, is about $110 million short of the $160 million balance at which officials would feel confident in its ability to withstand a future economic downturn.
The tax savings to employers will total about $54 million a year, said Dennis LaBounty, political director of the Vermont AFL-CIO labor federation.
LaBounty expressed disappointment that some of the savings were not being used to restore benefit cuts seen by workers.
As part of a deal to shore up the unemployment fund during the recession in 2010, Vermonts maximum weekly unemployment benefit was set at $425; some workers previously had received more, depending on their income before the layoff.
Another adjustment designed to achieve savings was that a newly laid-off worker had to wait a week with no income before unemployment benefits kicked in.
The employer is getting some money back, but the workers arent, LaBounty said.
We tried during the last legislative session to get some of those benefits back, without any luck, he said, adding that the effort will continue when lawmakers return in January.
Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan said she, too, expected more conversations during the next legislative session about sharing some of the unemployment trust funds improving fortunes with workers.
But she said that after the top priority of paying back what had been a $77.7 million loan from the federal government, the secondary goal would be restoring the fund to the $160 million level considered a sufficient hedge against a future economic downturn.
We dont want to have to go through this again, Noonan said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

It's character building.
Ever been to Luton? Stevenage? Just the same.
Just now, when I said that Slough was the worst place I'd ever visited. It was because I'd blacked Luton out of my mind completely.
Something I notice about Southerners is the comedy Northerner routine that they like to put on when they find out where you're from. I always smile indulgently at them as they go "Ooop North. Has thou a whippet?" and so on, because I know they live in Luton and they have to find some escape somewhere.

In fulfilling the Peace Corps' mandate to share the face of America with our host countries, we are making special efforts to see that all of America's richness is reflected in the Volunteer corps. More Americans of color are serving in today's Peace Corps than at any time in recent years. Differences in race, ethnic background, age, religion, and sexual orientation are expected and welcomed among our Volunteers. Part of the Peace Corps' mission is to help dispel any notion that Americans are all of one origin or race and to establish that each of us is as thoroughly American as the other despite our many differences.
Our diversity helps us accomplish that goal. In other ways, however, it poses challenges. In The Gambia, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyle, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in The Gambia.
Outside of Banjul, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What people view as typical American behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. The people of The Gambia are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you live may display a range of reactions to the cultural differences that you present.
To ease the transition and adapt to life in The Gambia, you may need to make some temporary, yet fundamental compromises in how you present yourself as an American and as an individual. For example, female trainees and Volunteers may not be able to exercise the independence available to them in the United States; political discussions need to be handled with great care; and some of your personal beliefs may best remain undisclosed. You will need to develop techniques and personal strategies for coping with these and other limitations. The Peace Corps staff will lead diversity and sensitivity discussions during your pre-service training and will be on call to provide support, but the challenge ultimately will be your own.
- 1 Overview of Diversity in The Gambia
- 2 What Might a Volunteer Face?
Overview of Diversity in The Gambia
The Peace Corps staff in The Gambia recognizes adjustment issues that come with diversity and will endeavor to provide support and guidance. During pre-service training, several sessions will be held to discuss diversity and coping mechanisms. We look forward to having male and female Volunteers from a variety of races, ethnic groups, ages, religions, and sexual orientations, and hope that you will become part of a diverse group of Americans who take pride in supporting one another and demonstrating the richness of American culture.
What Might a Volunteer Face?
Possible Issues for Female Volunteers
Gambian women, especially in rural areas, have very traditional roles. As a result, North American women may not be able to exercise the freedoms to which they are accustomed. In addition, it is common for women to receive stares, comments, and requests for dates or sex. Female Volunteers develop a variety of creative strategies to handle these situations (as do male Volunteers who do not conform to the machismo image expected of them).
Possible Issues for Volunteers of Color
Gambians may expect African-American Volunteers to learn languages and adapt to the culture quicker than other Volunteers. African Americans may also sometimes be mistaken for Africans and may experience impatience on the part of Gambians when they do not demonstrate expected behavior. Asian, Arab, and Hispanic Americans may also be associated with their ancestral origins rather than their American nationality. It is helpful to remember that these reactions come from a simple lack of understanding and that they afford an opportunity to tell Gambians more about the diversity of America.
Volunteers of color may feel some isolation within the Volunteer community because other Volunteers lack knowledge of diversity issues in the United States.
Possible Issues for Senior Volunteers
Older individuals are highly respected in The Gambia, which is certainly a plus. But with this respect comes the expectation that senior Volunteers will have relatively more knowledge and experience. Because acquisition of a new language is often more difficult for seniors, they may become frustrated with difficulties in communicating ideas important to them and may need to be assertive in developing an effective individual approach to language learning. In addition, some older Volunteers find pre-service training to be physically challenging.
Because the vast majority of Volunteers in The Gambia are young, older Volunteers sometimes feel isolated within the Volunteer community. Peace Corps/The Gambia is sensitive to this issue and takes it into consideration when placing senior Volunteers. Seniors sometimes are sought out by younger members of the Volunteer community for advice, and while some enjoy the role of mentor, others would rather not fulfill this role.
Possible Issues for Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Volunteers
The Gambia is conservative by U.S. standards, and many Gambians disapprove of homosexuality. Because of these beliefs, gay, lesbian, and bisexual Volunteers have not been able to be open about their sexual orientation. However, Peace Corps/The Gambia provides an open and supportive atmosphere for gay, lesbian, and bisexual Volunteers.
See also: Articles about The Gambia on the National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Peace Corps Alumni Association website at http://www.lgbrpcv.org/articles.htm
Possible Religious Issues for Volunteers
The Gambia is overwhelmingly Muslim, with a small Christian minority. Although most Gambians have little knowledge of other religions, there is a high degree of religious tolerance in the country. Occasionally, a Gambian friend may encourage you to explore or convert to Islam.
Possible Issues for Volunteers With Disabilities
The accommodations that make life more manageable for those with disabilities in the United States are absent in The Gambia, so certain aspects of everyday life can be extremely difficult. Nevertheless, Gambians are very accepting of people with disabilities.
However, as part of the medical clearance process, the Office of Medical Services determined that you were physically and emotionally capable, with or without reasonable accommodation, to perform a full tour of Volunteer service in The Gambia without unreasonable risk of harm to yourself or interruption of your service. The Peace Corps/The Gambia staff will work with any disabled Volunteers to make reasonable accommodations for them in training, housing, job sites, or other areas to enable them to serve safely and effectively.

GM and the Dodgers: A case study
While writing the filibuster the other day, I got to thinking. What's so bad about MLB taking over the Dodgers? It's not something they want to do and ideally they'd like to get rid of the franchise as quickly as possible. Both MLB and the Dodgers hope to emerge from this more healthy. The weird thing is that as I considered all the aspects of this move, it began to feel a little like deja vu. I had the distinct feeling that I had read this story before. Then it hit me. This same story happened just recently with a little company called General Motors, and the US Government played the role in which MLB now finds itself.
Just like today's Dodgers, GM found itself in trouble because of profligate spending, terrible management and an inability to provide the consumer what they demanded. As it became clear that GM could no longer support its obligations and refused to make the changes needed to resolve its issues, the government stepped in.
Just like with MLB's decision to take over the Dodgers, the government's decision with GM had its share of detractors. Although I don't think anyone outside of San Francisco truly wants to see the Dodgers fail as a franchise, a fair amount of the fringe right and left wing in the US were more than happy to watch GM collapse. While refusing to see what impact GM's dissolution would have on an already fragile economy, these people decided that the moral obligation was to let GM collapse as an example to other firms. Obviously this was not an option for the government, just like McCourt's continued ineptitude with one of baseball's storied franchises was not an option for MLB and the commissioner.
The real moral of this story comes in the aftermath. GM quickly emerged from its bankruptcy and government receivership. More importantly, not only did it emerge more streamlined and healthy after government managers got rid of deadweight makes and models, it also set a record with its IPO. MLB is hoping for a similar outcome and looks to be using an important tool that the government also utilized with GM: get rid of the management who got you into this problem in the first place.
Since GM rose phoenix-like from its own ashes, those who criticized the initial move have become much more subdued in their comments. Although the level of criticism hasn't been quite as great with MLB and the Dodgers, I have a feeling that even those who have decried Selig's actions will end up eating their words once the Dodgers are resold. Takeovers are always painful but they aren't always bad.
7 Comments
Of course, in the middle of it's Phoenix like rebirth, GM burned all of it's previous stock holders. I mean 1,000 shares might buy you a cup of coffee after trading fees assuming you can still pennystock it, burned their previous stock holders. Of course, stockholders can always start from scratch and buy the shiny new stock that's trading at over $30 per share, assuming their wallets can still hack it. While I still think that the government takeover of GM and MLB's takeover of the Dodgers were/are both good moves in the long run, I would hope the comparison would end long before you get to this point, LOL. In many ways, it's more like the government's takeover of IndyMac Bank…not that I'd know anything about that. *whistles*
– Kristen
The Dodgers are a proud franchise and with the MLB taking over it would be a good thing.
—Mark Gauthier
Selig took a major gamble with the all-encompassing power of the "best interests of the game" clause; presumably the MLB lawyers assume that McCourt would rather give in than sue and drain his finances further, but it was still a risk.
In the cosmic scheme, it was probably the right thing to do, but a risky decision nonetheless.
Let 'em burn! This would never have happened if they would have stayed in Brooklyn! Let em burn!
I for one, would like to welcome the Montreal Dodgers to the National League. **duck**
Why didn't Bud and MLB take over the Padres a couple of years ago when something similar happened to them? Just curious. I know the situations aren't exactly the same, but similar enough to make a comparison.
I would not be surprised if Selig has to do something similar to the Mets in a year or two.

|Title: Medical Devices; Anesthesiology Devices; Proposed Reclassification of Pressure Regulators for Use With Medical Oxygen
|Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration is proposing to reclassify pressure regulators for use with medical oxygen from class I to class II and to establish a special control for oxygen pressure regulators to address problems of fire and explosion associated with use of these devices. The special control will be a guidance document that includes standardized testing, performance, and labeling guidance for industry. Devices that meet the special control will be exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the act. The agency believes it is taking a least burdensome approach for industry. This proposed rule will phase-in a compliance approach that will minimize the cost. FDA seeks to reclassify these devices under section 513(e)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c(e)(1)).

Wis official says regulatory loophole causes fraud
A Wisconsin state official says a Middleton foster care company's alleged fraud was caused by a lack of financial oversight.
State Department of Children and Families officials told the Senate health committee on Thursday that the company's unusual expenses reports caught their attention in November 2011, when several counties reported missing the company's expenses reports.
The state says foster care companies used to set their own service rates and submit expenses to counties, but now the department can determine their rates and audit their expenses after legislators passed regulations in 2010.
The department says Community Care Resources Inc. has to pay back more than $6 million it allegedly overcharged by next Friday.
Community Care's attorney is disputing the allegations in a letter to the committee.

DocuClub in October: Wednesday, October 15, 2008, 7 p.m.
Our next DocuClub screening will take place on Wednesday, October 15, at 7 p.m., at Goldcrest Post (799 Washington Street, between Horatio and Gansevoort), in New York City's West Village. Our moderator will be Dr. Seth Clark Silberman, a New York-based independent scholar who writes on race, gender, and sexuality in popular culture. He has taught film studies at Yale University, and is currently working on a novel that considers how films both mediate and facilitate the ways in which we connect with one another.
Please join us as we screen DISTURBING THE UNIVERSE: RADICAL LAWYER WILLIAM KUNSTLER by Sarah and Emily Kunstler. William Kunstler was one of the most famous lawyers of the twentieth century. When he spoke about his past, he was like a hero from legend. He fought for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr., and represented activists protesting the Vietnam War. When the inmates took over Attica prison, or Native Americans stood up to the federal government at Wounded Knee, they asked Kunstler to be their lawyer. It seemed to his daughters that he was at the center of everything important that had ever happened. But Emily and Sarah weren't around for their father's glory days. The sisters were born in the late 1970s when Kunstler was almost sixty-years-old. When they were growing up, he represented some of the most unpopular members of society: people accused of rape, terrorism, organized crime and cop killing. Was Kunstler's later work consistent with the moral code he claimed to live by? In DISTURBING THE UNIVERSE, the filmmakers explore their father's life, from middle-class family man, to movement lawyer, to "the most hated lawyer in America." You can view a short trailer at www.disturbingtheuniverse.com.
Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler (producers/directors) manage Off Center Media (www.off-center.com), a production company that produces documentaries exposing injustices in the criminal justice system.
Emily Kunstler graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a B.F.A. in Film and Video in 2000. She worked as a video producer for Democracy Now!, an independent national television and radio news program that broadcasts on the Pacifica Radio Network and on public access and satellite television. With Off Center Media, Emily has produced, directed and edited a number of short documentaries, including TULIA, TEXAS: SCENES FROM THE DRUG WAR (2003), which won Best Documentary Short at the Woodstock Film Festival, and was instrumental in winning exoneration for thirty-five wrongfully-convicted people.
Sarah Kunstler graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in Photography in 1998 and from Columbia Law School with a J.D. in 2004. She is currently a criminal defense attorney practicing in the Southern District of New York. Along with Emily, she has produced and directed a number of short documentaries, including GETTING THROUGH TO THE PRESIDENT (2004), which has aired on the Sundance Channel, Current TV, and Channel Thirteen/WNET. DISTURBING THE UNIVERSE is the sisters' first documentary feature.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Cara Kay and I am currently working with a development team for a brand new television network that will launch in April of 2009. Right now, my assignment is to review short form content and submit what I find to our team, who will then decide which content to pass on to our acquisitions director. Our team is scouring the internet in search of ready-made user-submitted content, but we are also being encouraged to look for artists who might like to use our platform as a fresh opportunity to launch their own creativity by customizing content specific to our brand.
Here's what we're looking for:
The duration of each short form submission needs to be between 3-10 minutes long and deal with themes of purpose and identity, social justice and environmentalism, community and relationships, a quest for spirituality, or arts and culture. We are not boxing anybody into a specific production quality standard. We rate the quality of a short according the impact of its message and the creativity in which it is communicated.
Here are examples of some short form styles that represent what our network would be interested in:
A Thousand Words: http://www.pangeaday.org/filmDetail.php?id=74
My First Crush: http://www.pangeaday.org/filmDetail.php?id=48
Mankind is No Island: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrDxe9gK8Gk&feature=PlayList&p=7A4F257C8DB1F308&index=2
Bright Orange: http://www.good.is/?p=11868
Dancing Queen: http://www.pangeaday.org/filmDetail.php?id=4
Ignorable Calling: http://www.vimeo.com/672573
Nick Vujicic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxcrYVq1Dcc
Nooma Today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32EZrJBmAqU&feature=related
Harmonica Beatbox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHUuqsSCn5g
1 Week of Art Works: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1455262/1week_of_art_works/
Please realize that a submission does not guarantee that the project will be picked up by our network. It will be reviewed by our development team first and then, if the team agrees to pursue acquisition of the content, the producer will be contacted. What I can guarantee is this: all fresh content that is made specific to the themes listed above and that has not been viewed through any other media outlet will DEFINITELY make it to the top of our selection list as we want to find new content-creators for our network in order to mark it as a broadcasting entity that's fresh and innovative rather than just another media outlet regurgitating what has already been done.
You can submit your short form(s) via FTP or better yet, email me a link for online viewing. If either option does not work for you, then email me and I will give you an address so you can send me a DVD. When emailing me, use the following Subject Header: Cara Kay Short Form Response.

I am a composer who has scored several feature films, TV adverts, documentaries and other visual media projects. I write music in a range of styles from atmospheric ambient soundscapes to contemporary orchestral and electronica.
I've just added the first in a series of music album downloads specifically composed for film and documentary makers to my website. It's a royalty-free collection meaning that buying the collection grants the user a license to use the music with no further worries about license fees or further payments.
The music is a collection of dark piano and atmospheric background beds that would work well in serious documentaries, horror, drama, thrillers etc. The collection of 15 tracks is 45 minutes long and is available for a limited time for just £24.95 (approx. 43$ USD) which is the only amount you need to pay in order to use this music in any of your productions, whether for commercial, non-commercial, broadcast, non-broadcast, festivals etc.
You can find out more or hear short clips here:
The majority of the rest of my music is also available to license for your film depending on the usage. See rates here:
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

Linda A. MorganLinda A. Morgan
Linda A. Morgan, 67, of Rutland died peacefully on April 14, 2013, while surrounded by her family at The Connecticut Hospice in Branford, CT.
Linda was born in Jamaica Queens, N.Y., on May 20, 1945, the second daughter of Arthur and Helen (Nemeth) McKinney.
After graduating from Jamaica High School and the Katherine Gibbs School in New York City, Linda worked as an Executive Assistant in New York City and Norwalk and Stamford, Connecticut for National Guardian, Beiersdorf and Dooney and Bourke. Most recently, she was employed in Rutland by Ryan Smith & Carbine Ltd., David Horgan, and Curves.
She is survived by her daughter Jaime Morgan Lanzillo and her husband, Jeff of Rutland, her son Justin Morgan of Rutland, and her son Christopher Todd Morgan of Norwalk, CT. Linda is also survived by a sister, Carol Kirschner of Selden, N.Y.
Linda was predeceased by her parents and her sister Janice Boyd.

While living in Connecticut, Linda was very active in the Norwalk United Methodist Church. In Rutland, she was a member of the Grace Congregational Church, where she became a Deacon. She was an active member in many areas of the church, serving on the Parish Life Committee, the Worship and Sacrament Committee, Vacation Bible School, as well as volunteering in other areas. She enjoyed being part of the church, and especially enjoyed the music.
Services will be held at 4 p.m. on Monday, May 20, 2013, at Grace Congregational Church. There will be no calling hours. A private burial is planned at a later date.
Memorial contributions, in lieu of flowers, may be made to Grace Congregational Church Capital Campaign, 8 Court Street, Rutland, VT 05701; or The Connecticut Hospice, 100 Double Beach Road, Branford, CT 06405.

Restore La Crosse Committee responds to recall outcome
A recall effort to unseat Audrey Kader came up short on Tuesday, January 29, with La Crosse's City Council President defeating her two opponents by a wide margin.
The Restore La Crosse Committee, which started the recall effort against Kader, released the following statement after the race was called Tuesday night:
"While the Restore La Crosse Committee is disappointed that Audrey Kader will continue in city government, we are proud of our effort to recall her. As stated from the beginning our main reason for the recall was Audrey Kader voting to eliminate the public hearing and committee of the whole which is the citizen's only opportunity to address their city council as a whole.
"We were successful in saving the committee of the whole, and we were successful in bringing to public discussion many critical issues where the city council led by Audrey Kader is failing the citizens. The recall efforts have made clear that while Kader is securely entrenched in her district with certain voting blocks, she is wildly unpopular citywide."

but in just a few more post (4 i think) you won't be. and if you care, you can look up in the information and announcement thread the various titles.. they are fun, but in some ways meaningless.
some members have changed names.. so their current standing at addict, or old hand doesn't really give a complete picture to how long they have been posting.. others like the AsP --have to kick and scream, and get faldage off line so they can get on..
some of us have highspeed always on connections, some have convienent access as work (and waste way to much time doing awad instead of work..) some of us write long posts..
some post a word or two.. but everywhere.
the titles are there.. some us, no matter what the title are always stranger than other.._________________________

A quote from the second of Max's links: "While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.
Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately, world leaders said that's only because no one asked them."

I received this in an email today. I'm not sure I agree with all of them, but...
You know it's Summer in Oz when...
* The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
* Hot water now comes out of both taps.
* You can make sun tea instantly.
* You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
* The temperature drops below 35 degrees (Celcius) and you feel a little chilly.
* You discover that in February it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
* You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
* You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
* You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
* Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
* You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
* The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
* The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt, and pepper.
* Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
* The cows are giving evaporated milk.
* The trees are whistling for the dogs.
* Your best friends in summer just happen to have air conditioning or a pool
* You remind yourself for the nth year in a row to buy a new car that has airconditioning
* You sleep more often in your back yard than you do in your house
* You think living in Antarctica can't be that bad

Hi everyone!
This is my 3rd baby and I breastfed the other 2 with no problems. My son was born 12/19 at 32 weeks and I have been using a breast pump to try to start my milk. On day 3 I felt my breasts getting firm and I was pumping about 10ml per session. Now, on day 5, my breasts no longer feel hard and I am only getting 5ml per session. I am getting concerned. I know that using a pump to start breastfeeding can take longer and that when a baby is premature it can take longer for the milk to come in. I am pumping for 15 minutes every 3 hours with the Medela pump in style. Am I doing enough? Should I just be patient? I am just getting worried. He is being fed 30 mls every 3 hours now and I desperately want to give him the breastmilk he needs but am just not making enough. Any advice?
Thank you so much! Melissa

Apprenticeship Records for Family Historians
In this talk, Mark Pearsall, The National Archives' family history specialist, focuses on the apprenticeship system and how it worked in practice, and covers those records that survive in The National Archives, in particular the Apprenticeship Books in record series IR 1. It also suggests where to look for surviving apprenticeship records in other archives and record offices, as well as other useful sources for tracing apprentices where details of the apprenticeship indentures have not survived.
Sources for Tracing Agricultural Labourers
It's all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking that agricultural labourers are boring and that you can't trace anything about them. In fact they can be very interesting, and there's lots of information to be found if you know where to look. This talk covers resources available in The National Archives, parish and county records, and manor, estate and farm sources. Mark Pearsall is the Principal Records Specialist - Family History and works in the Records Knowledge team in the Advice and Records Knowledge Department. He has worked in several departments of The National Archives over the years and has contributed articles to a number of family and local history publications. He is the author of The Family History Companion and co-authored The National Archives Guides on Immigrants and Aliens and Family History on the Move. He has also produced transcriptions and finding aids for various record series.
Tourists and Booking Clerks- Information for Family Historians in the Thomas Cook Archives
Paul Smith, company archivist of Thomas Cook UK & Ireland, offers a general account of the holdings of the Thomas Cook Archives, with particular reference to records that might prove useful for family historians, such as staff magazines, contracts of employment and passenger lists. The talk also provides a brief history of the Thomas Cook organisation, and explains the importance of its archives for anyone, from academics to film producers, with an interest in the history of travel since the mid-19th century.

More than 7,500 families have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House of Amarillo since it opened in 1983, including several hundred from Clovis and Portales, according to House executive director Jan Reid.
Several local McDonald's will help the Amarillo chapter of the global charity celebrate its 25th anniversary on Saturday by hosting birthday parties.
The community is invited to learn more about the charity, have a free cookie and register to win a bicycle, according to the release.
A few of the families who have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House of Amarillo will join in the celebration.
"Fourteen years ago I did not even know there was a Ronald McDonald House," said Beth Lindsey of Portales. "Staying there was a blessing in every way."

Jehovahs Witnesses are trained to lie:
1960 "the Scriptures justify the 'war strategy' of hiding true facts from the enemy." (Watchtower May 15, 1960, page 295)
1960 "As a soldier of Christ he is in theocratic warfare and he must exercise caution when dealing with God's foes. Thus the Scriptures show that for the purpose of protecting the interests of God's cause, it is proper to hide the truth from God's enemies." (Watchtower; 6/1/1960; p. 352)
