Skip to comments.A Day in the Life of President Bush (photos) - 3.19.04
Posted on 03/19/2004 6:01:42 PM PST by MJY1288
President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush leave the East Room after speaking about Iraq at the White House in Washington, March 19, 2004. President Bush told officials from 83 nations that differences over the Iraq war are in the past, that deeper resolve is needed in the broader war on terrorism and that they must resist making concessions to al Qaeda. Later in the day President Bush and the First Lady visited the wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C. ................ Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
QUOTE OF THE DAY: There are still violent thugs and murderers in Iraq, and we're dealing with them. But no one can argue that the Iraqi people would be better off with the thugs and murderers back in the palaces. Who would prefer that Saddam's torture chambers still be open? Who would wish that more mass graves were still being filled? Who would begrudge the Iraqi people their long-awaited liberation? On year after the armies of liberation arrived, every soldier who has fought, every aid worker who has served, every Iraqi who has joined in their country's defense can look with pride on a brave and historic achievement. They've served freedom's cause, and that is a privilege.
And God bless America.
!!Vote Bush!!
President George W. Bush reads a baby book with U.S. Army Reservist First Lieutenant Brandan Mueller of Webster Groves, Mo., his wife Amanda, and their daughter Abigail at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Friday, March 19, 2004. Lt. Mueller was injured while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Be back in a few, I have a small honey-do list to finish :-)
You know how the liberals, or left-wingers like I prefer to call them always complain that the president never went to any funerals of the troops who lost their lives (as if Billy Jeff went). Does anyone recall Billy Jeff visiting any soldiers at Walter Reed while he was president? I certainly don't
This laptop is defective! I wish it'd quit.
Lord knows I loath clinton but in all fairness, did we have any wounded at Walter Reed during his reign of terror?
I think the more important fact is there is no record that the New York Senator ever visited Walter Reed Hospital.
That's what I get for working on a church cookbook.
BTW, is there a FReeper cookbook somewhere?
On a serious note, who would want that much security and hassle when you have a loved ones' funeral, and having the President come to it?
I'm sure he does something, but imposing himself (and the media would spin it 60 ways to Saturday!) - that isn't him.
For those of us who are quite lazy: What's up with Mike?
I have a good recipe for toast and grille cheese sandwiches :-), Actaully if there is gonna be any cooking in our house, it will be me doing it, my Wife doesn't cook, she hates it, so I do the cooking, my mother gave me several good recipe's, if you want a few I'll send them to you in FR Mail
I think he made the right decision, to call each family, visit Walter Reed and visit privately with families when he goes to bases, rather than spot select funerals.
However, I do wish that he or someone in the Administration would comment on his not attending the funerals (to shut the liberals up). All they need to say is that some people keep complaining that he hasn't attended any funerals and ask them just which soldiers they would select. Talk about hard or hurt feelings--explain to all the families how one should be selected over another.

I remember the last time this was posted some guy posted a response in the comments then. I will try to reiterate it, but I am doing it solely out of memory. While most of these facts are true, they are completely over-glorified. The only reason women were considered citizens and could own land is because all the men would be off fighting or training. They did not give a **** about the women. A woman could not expect to keep her kids whether she was married or divorced. At the age of 13 (I think that was the age) they leave their parents to go training. Marriage for a spartan was solely for the purpose of reproduction and the creation of more warriors. Sex pretty much mean the man came in, cut the woman's hair, and raped her. For recreational sex, men were more likely to turn to his buddy. Dying in childbirth was compared to dying in battle because childbirth produced more warriors. That is all they cared about: the production of more warriors.
I wasn't as colorful as the original commenter on the last time this was posted, but I think I got all the information.

Sparta was probably the harshest living enviroment. If the baby was born retarded, feed it to the wolves. They were taught to steal and not get caught, otherwise they would get a cruel beating if caught. They wernt fed, they had to find their own food. Constant training was put on them. They were molded warriors.

That's probably the weirdest fact I ever learned about any warrior from that time. We all look at them as the biggest, meanest, toughest people to exist. Yet they all would turn to their best friends and have some gay sex like it was nothing.

Rodrigo Lopez Joins the Rotation on Monday
Lopez is the next in an endless line of embarrassing replacement options for the beleaguered Cubs rotation. Huzzah.
Lopez is the next in an endless line of embarrassing replacement options for the beleaguered Cubs rotation. Huzzah.
Does it ease your ire if I tell you that, on paper, this was the one game the Cubs looked likely to lose? Didn't think so…
Hooray, more potential injury news that the Cubs totally aren't worried about and that totally won't become a bigger problem!
Cubs say the neck is nothing to worry about. More on that, the Rodrigo Lopez trade, and the catching situation.
Lopez will join the Cubs tomorrow – as in, the big team. He's got to be a better option than the Berg/Coleman/Maine connection, right? Berg will be sent to AAA in a corresponding move.
A series win! And I wasn't even pulling my hair out for most of the game! The legend of Tony Campana grows…
Mike Quade on rain falling, Carlos Zambrano hitting, Tony Campana starting, Darwin Barney dominating, and Aramis Ramirez sucking. Also, Geovany Soto's groin.
Chicago Cubs' young hurler is not likely to return to the rotation if and when he's able to make it back this season, according to GM Jim Hendry.
Terrible pitching and the rain conspired to slap the Cubs in the face.
Mesa has selected a designer and a builder for the new stadium and facilities that will keep the Chicago Cubs Springing in Arizona.
Cashner's doctor visit, Byrd's shutdown, Soto's and Wells' returns, and Jeff Baker's groin, all lined up for you.
Jim Hendry is optimistic (obviously), and Garza himself wasn't too happy about going on the disabled list in the first place.
Take that, fellow rudderless organization with one of the worst rosters $130 million can buy!

Brettski3 needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
2 winners were selected from 83 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
I have had this design in my head for about a year now and have not been able to get it where I want it. So I want to to turn it over to you guys. Even though I want this to be pretty basic I feel that it needs a design twist to it. This design will primarily be for kids but I also want it to be able to be worn by adult's(mainly women). Perhaps the lettering needs to be a bit faded or broken. They look too typical now...I want them to have a designer look to them to where they could be sold in boutiques.

I thought i figured it out, but when i tried to check my work, i came up with 99.9376% instead of 100% when i summed every-days contribution.
I tried:
% Contribution of Individual Day to Month
Any ideas?
Sorry for the vague subject header, but this problem is driving me crazy!!! . I'm trying to figure out the average volume distribution on a daily basis within a month as a percentage contribution. In other words, every Monday in August accounts for 5% of our volume for that month, every Tuesday accounts for 3.5%, every Saturday accounts for 1.5%, etc.
Here is the data that I have:
1)Days in month =31
2)Weeks in month =4.4
3)# of occurances for each day within month:
Mon, Sat, Sun = 5
Tue-Fri =4
4)% Contribution for each day within a normal week
Monday =21%
Tuesday =18%
Wednesday =17%
Thursday =16%
Friday =18%
Saturday =8%
Sunday =2%
5)Average Day contribution to week (day/days in week) =14.3%
6)Average Daily Contribution to month (day/days in month) =3.2%
How do i calculate the Daily contribution for each day over a month? Could anyone give me a hand?

Gunsmoke "Radio Show" at Knotts Berry Farm
The radio version ran from 1952 to 1961 and starred: William Conrad as Matt Dillon, Georgia Ellis as Kitty, Parley Baer as Chester and Howard McNear as Doc Adams.
All the pictures below were photographed by Harry Bartell at Knott's Berry Farm in 1953. Many of you will recognize Harry as an American actor and announcer in radio, television and film. He was one of the busiest West Coast character actors from the early 1940s until the final end of network radio drama in the 1960s. He died on February 26th, 2004.
Harry Bartell during the Gunsmoke years.
Here are some of Harry's thoughts on the cast of Gunsmoke ... Radio vs. Television:
When the rumor hit Los Angeles that Gunsmoke might go to TV, it was assumed that meant the radio cast would simply play the same roles on television. That idea immediately received a very cool reception in New York.
As a result, a campaign was launched in LA to sell their original idea. This was based on the premise that the leading characters actually looked as legitimate as could be, and with their familiarity with the roles would make an easy, smooth transition. We all know what happened. But in an all-out effort to sell the original concept it was decided that they would photograph the cast in costume and on location.

James Arness had the looks and manner, but Bill Conrad had the voice. He later turned out to be a great actor in front of the camera as well on Cannon, one of my favorite shows as a kid, but his voice work was incredible.
I've always been amazed how he did those solemn voiceover openings and closings for "The Fugitive" during the same period he did all that great frenetic narration for the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

Great photos. I've spent may days walking Knotts Berry Farm. We grew up not far from there, and it was a place to pack a picnic lunch and just hang out, before they walled it in and charged an entrance fee. Great photos of a great cast.

They have adopted schools for years. That's nothing new. Collecting and donating everything from pencils to mittens and hats, too. At the beginning of the school year, you could find them on playgrounds, repainting the sun-bleached United States map on the blacktop and planting trees in the schoolyard. Inside Columbus City Schools' classrooms, employees of the city's businesses, large and small, have tutored little kids in reading and become mentors to bigger kids.
But this? This is different.
Columbus' business community isn't just helping in the typical tried-and-true ways. In a move that strays far from feel-good volunteering, leaders of some of the city's biggest companies have been actively trying to find solutions that will fix Columbus schools.
Since the beginning of the year, business leaders have been sitting at the same table with union leaders, politicians, parents and pastors. They've been pushing hard for fixes they think will work. Now, they're pledging financial support, too.
From the outside, at least, it looks like they've gone from politely engaged to all in, centered on the belief that what's wrong with the state's largest school district must be made right. In some ways, they believe they are to blame.
"The lack of our involvement has been part of the problem," said Alex Fischer, president and CEO of the Columbus Partnership, a civic organization of the city's most influential business leaders. BUSINESSES SHOULDER BLAME
The problem, in short, is that there are many problems.
Take a look across Columbus' 115 schools and there certainly are bright spots and success stories. There are inspiring teachers and strong principals and smart, talented kids.
But this is the reality: Not very many of the schools in Columbus are doing particularly well, academically. As a whole, the district earned four F's, three D's and two C's for academic performance on the state report cards released in August. Only four Columbus schools earned an A grade for passing state standardized tests. Four.
There simply aren't enough good schools in which to educate the district's 50,000 children.
And though that sobering look at the city's educational shortcomings should not have come as a shock to business leaders, it did. For years, the district has had more struggling schools than outstanding ones, but the practice in past years was to celebrate any successes and pledge improvement. The realization that some Columbus City Schools employees had manipulated student data, possibly falsely inflating schools' academic standing, caught the attention of the Columbus business world. (Investigations by both the state auditor and FBI are ongoing.)
Suddenly, all eyes were on the schools.
"I don't think any of us had realized just how bad it was," said Fischer, who said the Partnership already was interested in improving education in Columbus when the scandal illustrated the urgency to do so.
"I've often said, when we assess blame to the challenges of Columbus City Schools: The business community has to get in line, because for far too long we probably had our head in the sand."
Mayor Michael B. Coleman has said publicly that he's not interested in placing blame. Everyone shoulders the blame, really, for having let the district flail in many ways without stepping in. That's one reason he said he intervened. The lack of substantive involvement from the business community and others has "been bad for the kids," Coleman said.
The initial we-must-do-something cry from the mayor and, just as loudly, the Partnership, was met with skepticism at best. At worst, labor unions and some community members called Coleman's deepened interest in the schools a veiled lunge for mayoral control and insisted Fischer and the city's big business leaders were was plotting a corporate takeover that would privatize the public schools.
And while business leaders insist they never viewed mayoral control as a magic pill to cure the district's ills, Coleman acknowledges that a significant number of voices on the 25-member panel he convened in January were calling for a forced takeover of some sort. The panel, called the Columbus Education Commission, was to explore ways to make the district better.
The school board pushed back, wary of both the mayor's and business community's intentions. It even passed an official resolution asserting its ultimate authority over the schools and opposing a takeover.
They were tense times, full of ultimatums and defiance.
"The board's solution was 'Leave it alone. We got this,' " Coleman said. "They said 'stay in your lane.' But we should be all in [their] lane!"
Today, those who were involved with the mayor's panel say it ended up being a remarkable success because such a diverse group was able to reach a consensus. The recommendations they made—ranging from streamlining operations to expanding pre-kindergarten to creating an independent auditor to act as a watchdog—are the basis of the school levy to go before voters in November.
"I'm giving a lot of credit to the business community for stepping up the way they have. And credit to the board for accepting help," Coleman said. "We've got to constantly remind the board that they're not in this for a takeover. Frankly, I think they're starting to get it."
The panel also brought to light the skills that the business community can offer the district beyond Adopt-A-School, said Tanny Crane, president and CEO of the Crane Group. She's been involved in Columbus schools for years, serving on committees and volunteering.
"We are involved in strategic planning, long-term vision. Leveraging. What we do every day in our business in leverage resources," Crane said. "Some of our large corporations have top-class recruiters and [human resources] leaders. We, in the business community, are building infrastructure and best-in-class technology."
Crane and other CEOs were astounded to learn that the computers that teachers use for everything from pulling up lesson plans to logging students' grades were practically useless. A 30-minute or even hours-long boot-up time was the norm for schools but would be unacceptable in the business world.
"It's deplorable," Crane said.
Columbus' business community has brought "intelligence capital" to the conversation about school quality and the operations side of the district, said Interim Superintendent Dan Good. He took over in July when Superintendent Gene Harris retired. She had been running the district for about 12 years.
"So often, individuals who work in the operations side (of a school district) started in the classroom," Good said. But the district's top leaders are learning that Columbus' business leaders had unique perspective about everything from operational efficiencies to curriculum. The minds of the leaders of the city's companies had been an untapped, but valuable, resource.
Huntington Bank employees adopted West Broad Elementary more than 25 years ago.
Bank employees were just at the building before the start of the school year in August, sprucing it up and delivering heaps of school supplies. And later in the school year, Huntington will help teach students at West Broad the basics of managing money. They will tutor kids in reading and math.
But it is not this long legacy of volunteerism that anyone has in mind when they wonder, "Where has the business community been all these years?"
"I think that's a fair question—and one I can't answer," said George S. Barrett, chairman and CEO of Cardinal Health. "When problems are extremely complex, with different underlying challenges, sometimes people can think they're too hard."
Some business leaders say that the old district administration actively worked to shut them out: They knew they weren't welcome in discussions of school quality. They weren't educators, so what could they add to the conversation?
The welcome mat is out now. Good has pledged it, and business leaders enthusiastically believe him.
"I think it speaks to a higher message: Hindsight is 20/20. They didn't know (how much the schools were struggling) and schools didn't feel welcoming. We have to collectively own responsibility for not having a more collaborative organization," Good said.
The educators involved in the new, business-included conversation about how to improve Columbus schools have praised the business leaders for the amount of time they've invested.
But this isn't altruism.
Columbus' business leaders care, sure. But they need something from the district. They need it to get better because they need it to produce better-prepared future employees.
"From a pure business perspective, we obviously want to thrive and grow," said Barrett. "It requires an educated and prepared workforce."
The mayor heard the message, over and over: "They were saying, 'We cannot find enough qualified people for our jobs.' They have a direct concern about the workforce."
A case in point: Crane Plastics has a plant on the South Side of Columbus. A few years ago, the company didn't look far when it needed to hire. Crane wanted quality employees who lived on the South Side. They had a great deal of trouble finding them.
Before, business found smaller-scale ways to exert some influence on the potential workforce the district produces. It had a voice in creating and designing the offerings at the Columbus Downtown High School and Fort Hayes Career Center.
It has pushed to propel more kids to college through I Know I Can, the nonprofit that works exclusively with Columbus students. And dozens of businesses and nonprofits have linked with Columbus Alternative High School to offer internships to students that last throughout the school year.
It's just not enough, though. Too many high schools are struggling. The graduation rate is far too low (more than two of every 10 Columbus students don't earn a diploma in four years) and the bottom line is that all the schools need to get better if the district is going to be part of an economic development solution.
As some business leaders see it, there's only one way to fix things now: The levy. They believe it is the ultimate road map, drawn of the Columbus Education Commission's ideas and shaped with the feedback from the city's CEOs.
And as Mark Real points out, the business community has regularly supported school levies. Real is president and CEO of KidsOhio.org, a Columbus nonprofit that studies education and helped with the mayor's commission.
"They are often perceived as 'We don't want more taxes.' But don't forget that they supported the 2009 income tax. Business will pay the majority of the costs," Real said.
It will be costly. The combined levy/bond issue on the November ballot is 9.01 mills. It would raise $515 million ($175 million of that would renovate or rebuild schools) over the next five years. For the owner of a $100,000 home, it's an extra $315 on top of the existing $1,328 he or she already pays. For the owner of a multimillion dollar corporation …
"It's not a quick 'yes,' " Crane said. "It's a big ask. And it's not just the levy. [Coleman is] asking companies for a multiple year commitment to invest in the schools. … We have to invest. We have to invest now."
One mill of the levy, or $8.5 million per year, would go to expanding or opening high-performing charter schools (the mayor is quick to point out that he's not talking about ones run by for-profit management companies). This has never been done before in Columbus and required a change to state law that moved quickly through the legislature. It now requires the district to ask voters specifically about the charter-sharing idea at the polls.
An equal amount would be set aside to expand pre-K, to fix the woefully slow and inadequate technology in classrooms, and to replicate or grow the schools in the district that are working well.
There's really no devil in the details for the city's business leaders, though, said Real. For the most powerful corporate leaders in Columbus, the mechanics of how money will be shared with charter schools or who will provide pre-K services or how the external auditor position would work is little more than minutiae.
"They see this as an up-or-down vote on 'Will Columbus move forward?' " Real said.
There's a plan that makes what many believe are substantive changes to the city's education landscape. The mayor and top business leaders say it will make the city's schools better.
"It's a big sacrifice and a big recognition that, on the one hand, money is not the end-all. We have to invest in the reforms that we have developed through the work of the Columbus Education Commission," Fischer said. "This isn't about investing in the status quo. This isn't check-the-box, get a levy passed, we're done. In fact, I think that's been a problem in the past."
The recent unified front— complete with hearty declarations of support for the sizeable tax request—may give the impression that the entire business community has been on board, clapping along, since day one. That's not the case.
"There were skeptics and naysayers, myself included, three to four years ago," Fischer said.
The limping economy in recent years has begged for intense focus on economic development. So there were some CEOs who wondered if perhaps they were heading into territory they shouldn't be. Fixing urban schools? Not a winning battle. Some wondered: Where else in the country has a large-scale reform of urban school districts truly worked?
Besides, they said, the economy has to come first.
But even some of those who early on advised caution have come around, Fischer said. They get it now: So go the schools, so goes Columbus. This is economic development.
Or, as Cardinal's Barrett sees it: "It's as good an investment as we make."

Warning: This comment is intuition (plus a few matlab simulations to verify).
For large p (the probability of 1 success), I'm not sure that this is an easy distribution to describe. At least, I don't see it.
As p get's smaller, I think that it may start to converge to a negative binomial. Suppose p is the probability of 1 success. For large N, the chance of a run of 2 is p times less likely than a run of 1. A run of 3 is p times less likely than a run of 2. Etc. BTW, a run of length 0 is a single failure.
p needs to be small so that you have lots of "trials" (chances for runs) compared to the length of the run lengths.
I should also point out that although I am waving my hands, I did run some simulations using matlab. For p = 0.5 and smaller, my experimental results matched the negative binomial distribution pretty well. I didn't actually try to run anything larger. So 'small' may not actually have to be too small.

Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:
Plain and simple, this cymbal is awesome. It has a great bell sound and terrific ride qualities. The crash sound is very low and dry so I tend to crash when in need of a different sound.
Comments about Zildjian K Crash Ride:
I have the 18 version and really like it. This one is superior. It is better for crashing than riding, but have a very nice bell that sounds as good as the one in my 20 K Ride (new version, too), and they matched very well together. The ride sound is good but a bit washy for a primary ride. Makes an excellent left side ride. It is also very good for crashriding during loud passages. No weird hum or ring in this one. Too me, it is worth every penny.

Ethan Powell ´04, summer cargo ship crewmember
Uploading cargo onto oil tankers, tracking birds who nest along powerlines, building a Maine camp, skating on thick ice, and using guerilla tactics to build a telescope. These are just some of the things CC students are up to this summer. Here are their stories:
First in a Series: Ethan Powell ´04, coastline cargo boat crewmember
When he´s not working in the buttoned-down environment of Smith Barney investments in Portland, Maine, Ethan Powell ´04 lets loose on a cargo boat, sidling up to many-stories-high oil tankers in port to deliver them supplies.
"Many of the crew members on these ships can be less than honest and a bit suspect, and there have been attacks on ship chandlers," he says. "At the end of the day, however, I love this job. I love being out on the ocean, and I love meeting people from every corner of the globe."
Powell is working for Brown Ship Chandlery in Portland, where he has spent his school breaks for the past three years, including winter when he has found himself "out on the ocean at 2:30 in the morning in the dead of winter with the wind blowing at 30 knots and the wind chill putting the temperature around minus 30 degrees."
"Between the cold air and the rough seas, it can be a very dangerous job. I was almost crushed by 3,000 pounds of steel once as a result of the tanker´s crane operator not paying attention."
The crew draws the cargo boat alongside the oil tankers and other big vessels that come into the Port of Portland as well as ports at Boston, Providence, Sandwich, Salem, Portsmouth and Searsport. Then they use cargo nets and cranes to send supplies up to the deck towering above them.
The job requires Powell to communicate with non-English-speaking people, which keeps him on his linguistic toes.
He said there is much more to his job he would be happy to relate, but we get the idea.

The New World tropical epiphytic orchid Prosthechea trulla is often confused with Prosthechea cochleata (syn. Encyclia lancifolia). There is confusion in the literature involving these two species -- some plants in the trade were erroneously identified as Encyclia lancifolia instead of Prosthechea trulla. They are similar in look, but P. trulla has a narrower lip (9-17 mm wide and 9-12 mm long) with a trowel shape, whereas the lip of P. cochleata is broader (13-26 mm wide and 10-21 mm long) and the sepals and petals of P. cochleata are longer (30-75 mm in length) than those of P. trulla.

The University of Colorado Boulder will present the Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award to four accomplished engineering leaders at the 46th annual Engineering Awards Banquet April 29.
Recipients of the 2011 Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award are:
Engineering Dean Robert Davis will present the awards, which recognize select graduates and friends of the College of Engineering and Applied Science who have distinguished themselves through outstanding personal qualities, knowledge and significant contributions to their fields. The honorees were chosen by a committee of CU-Boulder's Engineering Advisory Council.
Mitat Birkan, who earned his PhD in mechanical engineering at CU-Boulder in 1984, is receiving the DEAA in the Government Service category. As manager of the AFOSR's program on space propulsion and power since 1987, he is responsible for an $8 million basic research program of significant interest to the nation, and for assuring the excellence and relevance of a broad research portfolio. He also has been an active contributor to Air Force space missions by transitioning research results to the development of space hardware.
Dan Hernandez, who earned his bachelor's degree in electrical and computer engineering at CU-Boulder in 1990, is receiving the DEAA in the Industry and Commerce category. He has served as an executive leader in the fields of telecommunications, customer service, and business process outsourcing, and is a dynamic, highly sought speaker who has inspired countless underrepresented and disadvantaged youth to pursue their dreams. Since 2003, he has been executive vice president for global strategy at Sykes Enterprises, Inc., based in Tampa, Florida.
Larry Stolarczyk, who earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at CU-Boulder in 1960, is receiving the DEAA in the Research and Invention category. He has made extensive contributions to the field of electromagnetic remote sensing, including the development of radio imaging method (RIM) technology for safer, more environmentally friendly underground mining and the detection of anti-personnel landmines. Since 1994, he has been president of Stolar, a multimillion-dollar research and development company in Raton, New Mexico, specializing in mine communication.

Can I Protect Fashion Designs by Copyrighting the Drawings? And More Free Legal Advice – Free Joe 7/6/12
On Tuesdays and Fridays, attorney Joe Escalante answers legal questions for free on the LegalZoom Facebook Page. Did you miss the last Free Joe? Don't worry. We've got it all right here.
Lisa: For my fashion company drawings, should i get my drawings copyrighted??
Joe Escalante: You can, but that doesn't protect you from others making copies of those dresses. It only prevents people from making copies of the drawings. So if you want to protect the drawings, a copyright is what you would register.
I wouldn't bother however, unless I was going to exploit the actual drawings.
In most cases, anybody is allowed to make clothes, even from copyrighted clothing patterns. You just can't copy the patterns themselves.
Senior Care: I am guardian of the person for my mom in Wisconsin, and the bank is financial guardian, I have moved back to California and now the bank in Wisconsin has resigned as financial guardian. I believe I can just petition the court in California for financial guardianship after the 6 month residencey is established. There is no formal transition process from Wisconsin to California. If we establish residency in California does Wisconsin court carry any jurdisiction?
Joe Escalante: To avoid problems, you should consult with an elder care or estate planning attorney here in California. But if you don't want to do that, I would petition California for guardianship and see what they say about residency. For minor wards, I think it's 4 months.
However, Wisconsin may claim jurisdiction over this since the guardianship order was approved by them. To move her out, they might need you to petition them.
Philis: If you have property that was left to you by your grandfather do you have to pay income tax on the money at the end of the year. Or if you purchase property with the money that was left to you, do you still have to pay income tax at the end of the year, even if it's not as much as you have received from the property that was left to you.
Joe Escalante: These are tax questions actually, not legal ones, so you should get a good tax pro to look at this.
Chris: My question is regarding Child Support. I am a father and my son has lived with me full time for the last 2 years. I paid my dues over the past 13 years and now, i can't even get my son's mom to buy him groceries. She is married but doesn't work. How do i go about getting money for my son from her?
Joe Escalante: Support is supposed to be governed by a court order. If you don't have one, you need to petition the court to create one, or modify the one you have. You provide evidence of the circumstances that warrant support from the mother, and the court will look at it and make a determination.
Google "Father's Rights" but watch out for lawfirms that pretend to be helpful but they just want you to hire them.
Liksha: Is it possible to open a divorce case? I have more funds to collect.
Joe Escalante: Yes, it's called petitioning the court to modify a divorce decree.
Jeff: I'm overdue on my student loans. A collection agency has offered to consolidate my loans. The College Foundation (whom I borrowed the money from) still contacts me too. Should I work this out with The College Foundation or the collection agency?
Joe Escalante: I don't have enough info to advise you which would be "better" but I can tell you that all your dealings with both these people must be in writing. The collection agency will lie to you about everything they can get away with.
Kim: Where is the best place to get info about homeowners rights in a calif HOA. Our board is out of control.
Joe Escalante: I don't have a specific resource for you but you should consolidate your concerns to a couple issues and consult with a property rights attorney experienced in suing HOAs.
JawaRa: Can a Venture Agreement also be used for sponsorship purposes?
Linda: My daughter was renting a house that was foreclosed on. The new owners are a management co. They told them they had to be out I believe in 30 days. They were out, there was some kind of a dispute, the management co was going to give them some money but would not, my daughter was going to give them the keys anyway, but they will not accept the keys, the filed eviction papers on them, trying to ruin their credit, even tho they are out of the house living with us? can they do this? they have pictures of empty house with date.
Joe Escalante: These are the kind of pictures you bring as evidence to the unlawful detainer hearing. If they don't drop the proceedings by the trial date, she should show up, and bring the pictures and testify that she is not unlawfully detaining anything.
Linda: so you are saying what they are doing is unlawful? I mean the management co, not my daughter
Joe Escalante: No, they want a court order keeping your daughter off the premises, permanently. If they did a 3 day notice to quit, and she didn't quit, then they have the right to an unlawful detainer trial. If she did quit, then she files a motion to dismiss. No drama, she just files the motion and if what she says is true, the case will be dismissed.
Carey: Hey,my question is,i have a,misdemeanor case that is past the statue of limitation..what must I do to get it fully dismissed?
Joe Escalante: If you have been charged with a misdemeanor for a crime that committed beyond the STATUTE of limitations, you get an attorney to use that as your defense.
Carey: It hasnt even been filed in the courts and its past the 2yr limit..cant I get it dismissed without going to court since it has yet to be filed?
Joe Escalante: If it hasn't been filed, there is nothing to dismiss. You sound like you want "declatory relief from an unfiled criminal charge." You could talk to the D.A. but why poke the bear? They're not going to do anything.
Jacob: I AM TRYING TO START MY OWN MUSIC PRODUCTION COMPANY AND I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW TO GET EVERYTHING FROM THE NAME TO THE COMPANY ON LEGAL TERMS.
Joe Escalante: My advice, unless you are rolling in cash from the get go, is to get a D.B.A. as a sole proprietor, get a bank account so you can get some sweet ass checks with your logo on them, look into some liability insurance, and then have a meeting with a good tax professional.
Later on, when your tax pro advises you so, you can convert to a corporation or L.L.C. (limited liability company). Those give you tax advantages and personal liability protection, but they often carry with them a minimum state tax, so don't do it until your tax person gives the go ahead. In the mean time, protect your personal assets with insurance.
Christian: Can a felony be expunged from a persons record?
Joe Escalante: This varies all over the country. Yes, it's possible. But sometimes the interests of the community to know your record outweighs the interests of rewarding you for paying your debt to society. In my county, they have workshops to help you go through the process of cleaning up your record. They do this through the court's self help center. Most court's have those, so start there.
Robin: In the State of California does an individual aka creditor need any attorney to file a Motion for Stay from Relief in a BK?
Joe Escalante: People do it, but if it's really serious, people get lawyers to do it. Look at this link and see how involved this guy describes the process. Granted, he wants to puff it up real big so you'll hire him, but I would, it looks like a mini nightmare. http://www.wolffirm.com/publications/33.htm
Tom: What are the bare bones necessities to starting a legitimate, legal business? For example…I have a business license with the city and a FBN/DBA with the county. Do I really need both? Am I missing anything? Again, I'm talking minimum requirements to be considered a business.
Joe Escalante: Here's what I told Jacob who is starting a Music Production Company, much of it will apply to you, except you are further ahead in that you already have a DBA. Only your county and city can tell you if you really need a license for each. You're lucky the state isn't asking for one as well.
"My advice, unless you are rolling in cash from the get go, is to get a D.B.A. as a sole proprietor, get a bank account so you can get some sweet ass checks with your logo on them, look into some liability insurance, and then have a meeting with a good tax professional.
Later on, when your tax pro advises you so, you can convert to a corporation or L.L.C. (limited liability company). Those give you tax advantages and personal liability protection, but they often carry with them a minimum state tax, so don't do it until your tax person gives the go ahead. In the mean time, protect your personal assets with insurance."
Kim: how does a person get a no contest divorce when there three very young kids involved
Joe Escalante: If you mean "uncontested" that just means you guys already agree on the custody sharing issues, and the division of property. If this is the case, you're going into it "uncontested" and that can save you a bundle. You can even use Legalzoom for it.
Matt: I have an OP that doesnt restrict my firearm possession. does having the OP disqualify my from getting my foid?
Joe Escalante: First, let me know what an OP is. I thought you were referring to the tiny corduroy shorts I'm wearing. Next, tell me what a "foid" is. Then I will answer your question. Thanks.
Matt: Order of protection. Firearms ownership ID
Joe Escalante: That would be up to the Illinois bureacracy. Each state makes up its on B.S. regarding firearms. I have a few permits to carry in a few states, and none of them would have been issued if I had an OP or restraining order. However, just to own a gun and keep it in your house should be less of a problem.
These are the shorts I thought you were talking about. http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.41184274.jpg
Jeff: How can I remove my Ex from a mortgage deed if she is not willing to sign the Quit Claim Deed? (She is not paying on the note and I am.) This is needed for the bank to finance the loan in my own name.
Joe Escalante: it sounds like you went through a divorce and it's not completed. If the court approves a decree that orders the property sold or transferred, and she refuses, you petition the court to hold her in contempt.
If the court has not ordered the property transferred, I can't see why she would have to do anything she doesn't want to do with property she owns legally.
LegalZoom: That's a wrap for Free Joe Friday! Join us next week for more free legal advice from Barely Legal Radio w/ Joe Escalante: http://zoo.mn/bFreeJoe

Water Environment & Technology (WE&T) is the premier magazine for the water quality field. WE&T provides information on what professionals demand: cutting-edge technologies, innovative solutions, operations and maintenance, regulatory and legislative impacts, and professional development.
Restrictions on land application, increased transportation costs, and concerns about greenhouse gas emissions have sparked wastewater utilities' interest in alternative solids processing technologies. At the same time, incineration facilities have become more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly. But can incinerators be considered "green" alternatives for solids processing? The answer is yes.
What do you do when a growing community is replacing aging septic systems with new, centralized wastewater infrastructure, but space constraints at the existing treatment plant limit expansion? Marco Island, Fla., replaced its contact stabilization process with modified Ludzack–Ettinger (MLE) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) processes. The upgrades not only increase treatment capacity from 3.5 to about 5.0 mgd (13,200 to 18,900 m³/d) but also provide high-quality reuse water suitable for irrigating condominium landscapes and golf courses.
It doesn't matter where you look. "Green" is everywhere: in the grocery store, around the office, at the wastewater treatment plant. That's because green is in. Green is good. But it's also got some people wondering: Is green always smart?

Pakistan has been always known for its high quality rice production. Pakistani rice have always been of export quality and has reached all corners of the globe along with tasty Pakistani cuisine. However, a sad fact is, despite being ample in rice production and self-sufficient, a lot of people around the country go hungry and the prices of good quality rice are very high. Currently, Pakistan is at number four in rice production around the world, trailing China, India and Indonesia.
Recently a Pakistani scientist, Dr. Fida M. Abbasi from the Department of Genetics at Hazara University in Mansehra, had developed Super NPT technology. It is a unique technology for increasing rice production in the country. According to the scientist, such kind of rice did not exist before and can be grown using very less water.
If properly given its due attention by the government, Pakistan can increase its rice production and the poor will get a bit relief. Agriculture is an important integral of Pakistan's economy and rice is the central export of the country that generates billions of rupees in annual revenues. Through this Super NPT technology, Basmati and non-Basmati rice can be converted.
If implemented the new rice technology can increase revenues up to Rs.50 billion per year. Some believe that such a technology can bring the second green revolution in the world. Pakistan can create itself further rice markets for importers eager for getting high quality rice. Such technological applications in agriculture are needed to bring the economic growth both the country and its people need.

Anyone can say anything on their
website to try to convince you of something,
however only those who are truly confident in their dogs allow the
accomplishments to speak for themselves. I am not a used car
salesman, and pride myself on the fact that my dog's accomplishments
speak volumes. So much so that I do not have profess
accomplishments to propagate sales. I do not breed often
enough to pad the conformation ring with my bred by dogs in an
attempt to appear more successful to the unsuspecting.
I do not ask owners or co-owners to continue to own/show/feed/house
an unhealthy dog in an attempt to gain some perceived accolades, or
titles on dogs that I am the breeder of.
Cali Girl Kennels is family owned and operated, located in Northern Cali.
We place a high emphasis on health, standard size, bone, temperament, structure and
substance, therefore all dogs will be health tested and guaranteed. Our dogs will excel in conformation, agility and
weight pull, as well as make great family pets.
We breed rarely, but when we do, we breed for quality, not quantity,
and strive to maintain the breeds standards.
These are well balanced pit bulls mentally, emotionally, and
No dogs or puppies are sold
for any illegal purposes !
All dogs are UKC registered.

Your work so far is correct. At least, those are the eigenvalues I get. You'll notice there are only two eigenvalues. What are the algebraic multiplicities of those two eigenvalues?
'The Matrix
( 0 c 0)
(3+2c-c^2 b 3)
can only be diagonalised for some values of the parameters b and c . Construct a table
showing the values of b and c for which diagonalisation is possible. You must show
your working.'
For this I have done the following:
eigenvectors -1
P(ƛ) = -(c -ƛ)((-1-ƛ)(3-ƛ)+3+2c-c^2)
For what I finally got
c-ƛ =0 -> ƛ =c
Then ƛ^2 -2ƛ +2C -ƛ^2=0
and then getting the value for ƛ
ƛ = 1+-(1-c)
Is this right?
And what should I do next with this problem?
Thank you for your time.
That is the definition of diagonalizable, I grant you. However, it's not much use in the present circumstance, I'm afraid. Have you seen this one:
A matrix A is diagonalizable if and only if, for every eigenvalue of A, its geometric multiplicity equals its algebraic multiplicity.
You always know that the geometric multiplicity of an eigenvalue is less than or equal to the algebraic multiplicity. Here, we're saying that they have to be equal for all the eigenvalues. If that happens, you can diagonalize the matrix.
So, how can you use this idea to find out when your matrix is diagonalizable?
