Objective To determine whether inadequate housing is the main barrier to the provision of home dialysis treatment.
Design Prospective observational study.
Participants All patients attending a predialysis clinic between 2006 and 2009 deemed medically suitable for home dialysis and not active on the preemptive transplant list.
Setting A predialysis clinic in a London teaching hospital.
Main outcome measure Assessment of patient's accommodation for suitability for home-based dialysis using departmental guidelines and the Government's Housing Health and Safety Rating System regulations 2005.
Results A lack of adequate housing prohibited the provision of home haemodialysis to all but one of these patients. Moreover, only 29% of homes assessed were suitable for peritoneal dialysis, despite the lower spatial demands of this form of renal replacement therapy. In addition to the specific requirements of dialysis, we also found that only 33% of the homes visited fulfilled the minimum standard of housing as defined in the Government's Decent Homes Standard, with multiple specific hazards identified across the properties.
Conclusions This study illustrates that the lack of suitable housing is a major barrier to the provision of home-based dialysis and underscores the need for this to be addressed urgently at both the central government and local authority levels. We suggest that it should be considered as a major priority to rehouse medically suitable patients with a view to enabling home-based therapy.

When Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden producer Tomonobu Itagaki hopped on Tecmo's team in 1992, he was a fairly happy man. Through the company, he was able to give us his breakthrough project Dead or Alive, worked on a version of Tecmo Bowl, and lead Team Ninja's offense. But, as we all know, things have change since then.
In the eve of NInja Gaiden II's launch, which was Itagaki's last project., the major Tecmo developer resigned from the company on June 3 with a vengeance - a lawsuit where Itagaki claims that Tecmo owes him bonuses for the completion of Dead or Alive 4. And we wondered why he never smiles.
How are things between the two sides since then? Through various reports and analyses, we'll tell you how. Check them out after the cut.
Before Itagaki's resignation, the man already had a history of charges within the company. In November 2006, while on the brink of the voluptuous release of Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2 (packed with a revolutionary "physics" engine), Itagaki was slapped with a sexual harassment from a former Tecmo employee. He faced a ten million yen (around $85,000) fine but Itagaki admitted that he did indeed have a relationship with the woman to nullify any further consequences. (via Joystiq)
But since Ninja Gaiden's release for the original Xbox in 2004, Itagaki was given a lot of credit for his work. The action title was praised by many critics and hardcore action fans were pleased for its challenging gameplay. But, as we have mentioned, Itagaki resigned and sued Tecmo just as the game's sequel was going to be released. He mentioned on his resignation statement that he filed a complaint to the Tokyo District Court about Tecmo president Yoshimi Yasuda's "disingenuous statements" towards him, stating that, "President Yoshimi Yasuda chose not only to violate this agreement, but also turned defiant, telling me 'if you are dissatisfied with the decision not to pay the bonuses, either quit the company or sue it."
In a shorter sense, Itagaki just told Tecmo to "(explicitly) off" and the company is full off (explicit stuff). He demanded 148 hundred million yen for damages (about $1.38 million).
After Itagaki apologized to his fans for his depature, Tecmo immediately responded to his resigning statement. The company said that Itagaki's public statement was "self-centered" and he is acting as if he was the sole creator of Team Ninja's various titles - hence, there is no Itagaki in Team, but there is one in NINJA!. To ensure that Itagaki keeps himself away from anymore public stunts, Tecmo filed a gag order (a legal term that suppresses anyone to disclose any further information to the public) to the Tokyo District Court on June 10. (via Kotaku)
But in the process of keeping Itagaki's public mouth shut, Tecmo ran into another manure storm on June 16 when two company employees slapped them with another lawsuit that demanded an 8.3 million yen fine (about $77,000). According to the filed suit, Tecmo illegaly placed workers (about 300 of them) on a "flexible hours" working scheme that eventually led to over 100 hours of unpaid overtime. It looks like Tecmo won't be smiling soon either (via Kotaku). However, in the company's favor (for pride), reports were saying that Itagaki didn't really leave Tecmo on his own, he was actually fired by the company.
But several Kotaku reports suggested that Tecmo and Itagaki shouldn't be looking at the brightside just yet. According to a report, Tecmo and Itagaki's claims did not contain the same information about the bonuses regarding with Dead or Alive 4's completion. The company submitted a similar looking contract, but didn't state Itagaki's entitled compensations. So, indeed, someone is definitely hiding the truth. Itagaki also raised his cash demands to 164 hundred million yen (about $1.53 million) after the claims were presented. The company naturally denies any compensations for Itagaki in court, allegedly calling Itagaki a "money grubber" by president Yasuda. It has become really, really nasty.
It is unfortunate that Itagaki's relations with his former company has gone sour. Who will be affected by all this mess? Why, it's no other than all of us, the gamers. As these two sides continue to plow arguments on each other's back, we will constantly wonder how Ninja Gaiden III would've been or any future projects from the talented developers at Team Ninja. As usual, we'll bring you more updates as soon as they arise.

Entertaining Clients? Save Your Money
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- As the holidays approach, many companies are asking the question: How much should I spend to keep my best clients happy? Although the occasional small gift is expected, the down economy and increased corporate scrutiny have put a damper on how much companies give each year. If you're tempted to give lavish vacations or tickets to the Super Bowl, experts warn that going "all out" will send the wrong message, and might actually cost you some loyal clients -- or trusted employees.
"In the 1980s, you couldn't spend enough money," says Bruce Bachenheimer, director of the Entrepreneurship Lab at Pace University in New York. "But today clients are saying, 'Forget the hunting trip, forget the lavish treatment -- just give me a better price."
Client spending -- and the perception of what "acceptable" client spending is -- has evolved over the past decade, Bachenheimer says. The dot-com crash in 2000 inspired companies to re-examine their investment priorities, and after 9/11 companies saw more urgency in preparing for the inevitable "rainy day." The "final straw" occurred most recently in 2008, when businesses were forced to pare down to their most essential operating costs -- and extravagant client treatment just didn't make the cut.
"Nowadays there's just a level of uncomfortability for the giver and the receiver," Bachenheimer says. "If you're rolling out the red carpet for a customer, they're going to assume you have incredibly high margins to do all that spending. They're going to think, 'Oh, he's overcharging everyone -- including me -- in order to afford all this."
Some of them may even start to wonder, "Did I sign this contract because I was effectively bribed?" Bachenheimer says.
Unfortunately, your clients aren't the only ones who may start to question your methods, says Meghan Daniels, senior director of advisory services at SAI Global. Employees will start to take note and wonder why -- if the company is doing so well -- they aren't getting raises or bonuses.
"Especially at a smaller company, everyone knows what's happening. If you buy a client a lavish vacation, you run the risk of angering your team," Daniels says. "Employees really want to be proud of their company. Everyone has to be committed ethically."
Sometimes, whether or not your customer gifts raise eyebrows depends on whether your client's company has a committed corporate compliance program, Daniels says. Today, many companies have limits in place for what their employees can get, and the limit is usually around $100. Before giving a client anything, it's important to understand their corporate policy.

Nassau County Property Tax Reduction Consultant
State Attorney General Spitzer and Harvey Levinson, Chairman of the Nassau County Board of Assessors, today announced a settlement with an East Hills company alleged to have overcharged Long Island residents who relied on the firm for advice in challenging their property tax assessments.
Under the settlement, Property Tax Reduction Consultants, Inc. (PTRC), will provide $400,000 in refunds to thousands of homeowners.
"Homeowners seeking relief from unduly high tax assessments are entitled to accurate information and billings from those who claim to be acting in their best interests," Attorney General Spitzer said.
Chairman Levinson said: "If it was not for the review of my office and the actions of Attorney General Spitzer, thousands of homeowners would have been overbilled by hundreds of thousands of dollars. This settlement should send a clear message to all businesses engaged in property assessment protests that their actions are being closely scrutinized and that they need to become more familiar with the property tax structure as it exists in Nassau County."
PTRC is one of many companies on Long Island that specialize in the business of protesting residential property assessments. PTRC assists homeowners with the paperwork associated with protesting an assessment and charges a fee of 50 percent of the property owners tax savings on successful protests.
In a complaint filed with the settlement agreement, PRTC is alleged to have used incorrect estimates of the tax savings of assessment reductions, overstating the actual savings to homeowners and inflating its fee.
For example, one homeowner was notified by PTRC that he would receive a tax reduction of $1,783. PTRC billed the homeowner 50 percent of the tax reduction or $891. However, because the homeowner was entitled to a low-income senior citizen exemption from paying taxes on approximately 40 percent of his property s assessed value, his actual tax savings were only $1,198. PTRC should have only billed for 50 percent of that amount or $599, an overbilling of $292.
Under the settlement, PTRC will make restitution of approximately $400,000 to homeowners and will pay $250,000 in penalties and $2,000 in costs. The company has also agreed to reform its billing practices. It will also retain relevant records for inspection by the Attorney Generals Office.
Attorney General Spitzer thanked Mr. Levinson and the staff of the Nassau County Department of Assessment for discovering overcharges by the company and referring the matter to the Attorney Generals regional office.
The investigation and settlement were handled by Assistant Attorney General-in-Charge Juan Merchan of the Nassau Regional office with the assistance of Investigator Paul Matthews.

Local retailers dominate online shopping searches in 2012
- From: news.com.au
- December 14, 2012
AUSTRALIAN retailers may be missing out on sales because of faulty websites and poor service, not competition from overseas retailers, experts say.
Big Australian retailers are ramping up their pressure on the government to lower the GST threshold on overseas imports to combat the "unfair disadvantage" they face from overseas stores.
But statistics released today by Google show major Australian retailers dominated the list of most searched shopping brands in 2012.
eBay was the most searched, followed by Woolworths, Big W, Coles, Harvey Norman, Kmart and Target.
Entering the top 10 this year are overseas retailers Amazon and ASOS, which came in eighth and ninth respectively, followed by local store Officeworks.
But complaints on social media sites show many of these popular Australian retailers are lagging behind in their online service.
Earlier this month Target customers took to Facebook to complain they were still waiting on delayed deliveries from the mid-year toy sale.
Posts on productreview.com.au show Officeworks has failed repeatedly to deliver in promised timeframes, and a Big W customer is still waiting on a refund for a Christmas tree ordered last month which never arrived.
Ingrid Just, spokeswoman for consumer group Choice, said the majority of shoppers were purchasing online from local websites and retailers had to keep up with the "exponential growth".
But she said if retailers were going operate online they had to make sure they were properly resourced and their technology could cope.
"There's no point have a whiz bang looking site but your back-end systems aren't keeping up with what consumers want," Ms Just said.
"If you're going to offer it and you've been complaining in the past about people shopping overseas you don't have much time, you can't stuff up too many times otherwise you'll lose trust."
Australian Centre for Retail Studies research director Sean Sands said leading Australian retailers did not take online seriously for too long.
"Sure they're starting to now but they're a long way behind," Dr Sands said.
Dr Sands said Australian retailers "cry poor" too much when it comes to sales lost to overseas retailers.
"But why wouldn't you shop overseas when they're offering free delivery?" he said.
He added smaller retailers such as the Iconic and Shoes of Prey – which deliver within hours and allow shoppers to custom design their own items – were the only local retailers that were "really innovative".
"Those are the guys that are changing the game and people have to catch up," he said.
Australian Retailers Association head Russell Zimmerman said many local websites had undergone recent revamps, but with any website there were going to be "teething issues".
"We are still relatively young and new in our online space, and we know there's always room for improvement on those websites," Mr Zimmerman said.
But Mr Zimmerman said lowering the GST threshold was essential to "ensuring a level playing field".
"Don't forget that [the Google stats] show a search in the beginning, what you need to look at are what are the [sales] conversions and where are they coming from," Mr Zimmerman said.
Local online retail counts for 4 per cent of all sales, with overseas online retailers counting for 2 per cent.
Leading Australian retailers such as Gerry Harvey are relentless in calling upon the government to lower the $1000 GST-free threshold, saying local retailers are "severely disadvantaged" competing against foreign online stores.
He is backed up by other retail heavyweights such as Solomon Lew, chairman of Premier Investments which owns Portmans, Just Jeans, Dotti and Peter Alexander, who has warned thousands of retail jobs will be lost in 2013 if the government does not act.
Myer chairman Paul McClintock has also recently spoken on the "incredible unfairness" of the GST threshold, saying reform is "critical" to levelling the online retail playing field.

The problem for the Australian retailers isn't the GST. It's poor service, not having stock and much higher prices - higher than what can be put down to GST. I wanted to buy new blades for my electric Shaver. The local Shaver Shop staff in Adelaide weren't helpful - they continued their personal conversation while I waited at the counter. Then they told me they were sold out of those blades and didn't know when more would come in. I then checked their online store and their prices were over twice as much as Amazon. I had the blades and a foil delivered from USA for $55 including postage. The Aussie stores wanted over $100 just for the blades, plus postage. Even with GST it's cheaper over seas.
Michael of Woodend Posted at 3:54 PM December 14, 2012
Mr Zimmerman, you and the retailers just dont get it do you, Google has already pointed out the problems and yet you still whine about the GST. If your retailers could offer free delivery and immediately delivery, then most of your problems would disappear, but if I am forced to wait 2 months to get something thats advertised on a local site,then I may as well shop overseas and get the item within a week. Also when I can buy a pair of quality runners in the US for around seventy five dollars delivered and the same pair over here is 169 dollars, then having to pay another fifteen bucks for GST and duty IS NOT going to stop me from buying overseas. In fact I have now stopped shopping at all the places that are complaining about the GST and have now instead gone shopping on overseas sites, because quite frankly I am sick of you lot winging all the time. (I have saved myself thousands.)
Cynic Posted at 3:54 PM December 14, 2012
Even if they charge GST when the identical Chinese made camera costs 50% less sold in the us or the uk than when it is eventually sold in oz. That camera will still be 40% cheaper. Offer me a reasonable price or service that is worth the extra price and I will buy oz if not I will buy from overseas. Business today have to work for my money not simply have it handed to them at what ever they want

Appreciation of:
The pleasure-protector. Aesthetic of security.
Rashi of Shukra's planetary enemy Chandra.
Shukra-Karkata .
Karkata loves the landed properties, the parental culture, and the old familiar ways
Karkata dislikes large groups and electronics (6/8 Kumbha) and loves the near and dear, the home-made, and old pre-modern way of life. Shukra-Karkata is very sentimental, loves the land of birth, and likes to stay home whenever possible.
Shukra-Karkata seeks to partner (Shukra) with those who are parental, caretakers;
who love their mothers; like to have a happy home and live there; who values lands and properties and who will care for these and nurture; who love the oceans, estuaries, and ocean-side habitats; who love the past;
prefer a rooted family life taking shelter in one fixed place, or at least has the ability to establish a stable home in any location regardless of the length of residence;
those who dislike large impersonal networks, social change movements, mobs of fans, and futurism; dislike a life geared toward material goals and achievements, (Karkata = 6th-from-Kumbha).
Sensual pleasures through the breasts, chest, heart-chakra, center of back, torso, embracing and holding fast to the chest.
Aesthetic love for:
above all, the Mother
domesticity, schooling, schoolteachers
real-estate, vehicles, parents and parenting,
home and homeland, shelters, shells, shawls, and shields
security and protection, ownership and boundaries, deeds and titles, licenses and diplomas,
cultural roots of a people, ethnic manners and customs,
Oceans, the seashore, beaches, sandy properties near ocean
Often malcontent, because it's difficult to get the sweet Taste of return to the total embrace of mother's womb. Attracted to immersion experiences, intensely maternal and protective partners, and tightly sheltered, predictable home life.
One likes parenting and being parented; seeks emotionally needy and/or exceptionally nurturing partners. This Sukra-Karkata aesthetic attracts them into codependent relationships.
Both males and females seek a parent-partner who promises to absolutely protect.
Hatha Yoga Balance Polarity Asana
The male with Shukra-Karkata may prefer a female partner with maternal qualities
A traditional at-home wife and mother
likes the ocean and marine life
Attached to her parents
keeps the customs of one's land and people
PEOTUS-45 Play to Win Donald Trump = Shukra in 12 + rogesha-6 Shani
Shani = L-3-from-Chandra = commerce
Mr Trump used to complain that his wives were unfortunately all brilliant businesswomen; which he respects (Shani) and understands (Shani = L-7 = physical experience);
but what he prefers, according to himself, is a stay-at-home partner-mom who is dedicated to family, home and hearth. According to him, this dilemma is the reason why, despite his conservative social-political values, he feels restless in relationships and has multiple marriages.

|From Slea Head one can see the Blasket Islands which are the last outposts of Europe and are known as the "next parish to America". They are famous for the literary and linguistic heritage of the former inhabitants. However, these remote islands have been uninhabited since the 1950's following an evacuation. This Western end of the peninsula is a Gaeltacht area that has produced a number of nationally notable authors and poets: O'Siochfhradha and Peig Sayers among others. Being an Irish speaking district traditional customs are still very much alive
The area is also very popular with cyclists. Some of the most noteworthy stops on the Peninsula tour include the village of Inch, which has a glorious beach, the now uninhabited Blasket Islands, and the Gaelic-speaking Ballydavid and Ballyferriter.
The region is littered with with relics from both the Stone Age and Bronze Age and, more recently, the Ecclesiastical period, when Ireland was known as the "land of Saints and Scholars", due to its high number of monasteries and religious schools. The Dingle Peninsula is also associated with the film industry. Ryan's Daughter was filmed here, as were parts of Far and Away, which starred Tom Cruise.
Once described by the National Geographic Traveler as "the most beautiful place on earth", the Dingle Peninsula is a place of intense allure, with a plethora of green landscapes, rocky hills, long sandy beaches and staggering cliff edges. The warm Gulf Stream reaches the peninsula, giving has a wonderful mixture of sometimes rare and unusual flora and fauna.

I had a Shakespeare prof who talked about how Big Willy's plays took way too long to run their course in the modern era. Supposedly back at the dawn of the 1600s they went off inside of two hours. They can run four hours these days.
His point was that the plays were more accessible in two-hour form.
I tend to think the same applies to baseball. There's no reason for a nine-inning game with less than 10 total runs to exceed 150 minutes. If they make a few rules to cut down on the dead spots and keep the game moving, that's more than fine by me.
I'm a fan of keeping hitters inside the box. I also think teams should be allowed only one mid-inning pitching change per game. Forget about the James run-allowed loophole. IMO you'd see a far sturdier type of reliever if that were the rule, not to mention that it would add strategy and excitement to the mix. Does the manager use his lifeline now or should he wait? Is this reliever about to blow what once seemed like an easy win?
Maybe you let a replacement come in after four runs or so cross the plate, but otherwise get out on the mound and play baseball.
James called the '80s the most exciting baseball ever played.
I think the heyday probably stretched from 1975-1993, though I'm probably a little generous in including the late '70s. Those years were spent with a few dominant teams ruling the roost, though they set the template for punch and run baseball.

El Monte High School Team
Visits China
El Monte
The El Monte High School Spirit Team has returned from a week-long trip to China where they were guests of the Chinese educational system.
"El Monte High School has hosted several Chinese schools over the years and as a result one Chinese group enjoyed the cheer and song performance so much that our team was invited to visit and perform in China," said then Principal Keith Richardson.
El Monte High School Assistant Principal Joseph Vu accompanied the team as they performed at five Chinese schools in Beijing and Tianjin teaching the students various cheers and other routines.
"Teaching the Chinese students cheers was a lot of fun," said one student. "They caught on very quickly and seemed to have fun with us."
While in China, the students learned how to make dumplings at a restaurant, attended a Chinese language class and visited historic sites including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.
The students stayed with oil executive families and felt truly pampered by their host families.
"To truly understand Mainland China and its people, it's imperative that one visit the country," said Richardson. "It's a nation rich in many cultures, with warm, friendly and inviting people eager to share their lives with you."
"We all loved our visit to China and wish everyone could experience the country's hospitality," said another student.
"The team was very proud to represent the El Monte Union High School District in China," added Richardson. "And the students returned with memories they will cherish for a lifetime."

Before you begin, remember that this Quest is a challenging one. The levels are not ridiculously hard, but they do make you think. Lots of puzzles are in this Quest... trust your gizmos.
So, for your enjoyment, I give you... MOLKA!!
***Updated 8/14/07*** Fixed some long-outstanding bugs, such as not being able to exit from a later dungeon until you've beaten it (and that dungeon required Bait too, so O_o on that), various Continue bugs (though they're not eliminated, they are now no longer game-stopping) and I also removed the things the Bosses say to you when you fight them 'cause Link can't move and the Boss often can get in a free hit. Not cool. Lastly, I added 4 new screenshots.
Ganon always seems to revive himself after being defeated, huh? It's true. Link and Ganon have faced off so many times it's not even funny. (That's thanks to anyone who's ever made a Zelda Classic Quest!) So, Ganon revives himself again and goes at it, thinking of another way to defeat Link. After 3 days of thinking, Ganon bolts out of his chair and yells, "I HAVE IT! I know how to defeat Link! I just have to kidnap Zelda to a land with tougher enemies!" All his minions applauded. What a plan! It was brilliant!
Ganon sent out scouts to find a land with really hard enemies. They found one: Molka. "Great job, boys!" Ganon said to the scouts. "Let's prepare to strike!" And with that, Ganon and his minions started building the Dark Base, a floating dungeon that could travel anywhere. In 2 weeks, it was finished. Ganon took Zelda the next night, as she was walking out on her balcony to gaze at the stars, and transported her up into the Dark Base. Then they flew to the mountain of Molka, putting Ganon's plan fully in action. Ganon just had to wait for Link.
The Hyrulians didn't panic. This has happened before. Zelda's been kidnapped a lot, so they knew the drill. Rebuild the Triforce, send Link to Level 9, defeat Ganon. Right? Well, that's when the Hyrulian messenger reported that Ganon escaped to Molka. OOPS, this ain't part o' the drill! NOW they panicked. But Link didn't. Already he was thinking of a way to get to Molka.
He went home that night with no plan. His sidekick, a Wind Wizzrobe (who he met secretly in A Link to the Past), tried to cheer him up a bit. He knew how to play Link's whistle better than Link, so he played a song for him. Link didn't cheer up. "I've been on many adventures before, but Molka... I don't even know where Molka is!" The Wizzrobe stopped playing and looked at Link, hard. "Did you say, MOLKA?" Silence. "Link, I lived in Molka during your first adventure! I know where it is!"
By the next day, Link was prepared to go. The laws of Molka stated that most Hyrulian items were not allowed within the land. So, Link was bringing his Boomerang, Wooden Sword, and a Blue Potion with him. Even the Red Ring stayed behind. Once he was all ready, the Wind Wizzrobe blew him in a tornado to the city in Molka. It worked!
Now, Link knew where he had to go. The Triforce of Gizmos, still undetected by Ganon, was hid away hundreds of years ago in 8 pieces, each piece inside one of the dangerous Forts of Molka. These Forts also contained legendary Molkian items (like the Whistle of the Winds), allowing Link even more power. Only once Link had completely mastered his items would he be able to reach the Dark Base floating over the northeastern corner of Molka. And the best part is, Ganon doesn't even know Link is prepared so well. He doesn't know what he's askin' for!!!

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Release Date: November 4, 2003Contact: Sue PatrickPhone: (502) 573-1555
(Frankfort, Ky) The Council on Postsecondary Education approved an operating and capital budget recommendation for Kentucky's colleges and universities for the 2004-06 biennium. It totals $2.3 billion, an increase of $65.8 million for 2004-05, and $113 million for 2005-06.
"This budget reflects Kentucky's needs: it will help our colleges and universities handle rapidly expanding enrollments, keep higher education affordable for Kentucky families, strengthen our workforce, and provide adult basic education opportunities to the one in four Kentuckians who lack a high school credential," said Council President Tom Layzell.
The Council's top priority is funding increases for Kentucky's public universities, the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, and Lexington Community College to help pay for the over 42,000 additional students who have come to their campuses since 1998.
The budget also includes an expansion of Kentucky's adult education program. Since 2000, enrollments in adult education have increased from 51,000 to over 109,000. The goal is to triple that number by 2010. The recommendation also includes a fourth round of Bucks for Brains to help Kentucky continue to attract researchers who will solve problems and create jobs.
The Council also recommended $378.4 million to build new space and to renovate existing space on the campuses, including research buildings at the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville, a new classroom building at Lexington Community College, and new facilities in cities like Owensboro, Manchester, Franklin, Ashland, Henderson, and Madisonville.
According to President Layzell, "This budget recommendation reflects the success of the first six years of postsecondary education reform and the need to maintain Kentucky's momentum. It helps pay for the over 42,000 additional students on Kentucky's campuses, provides the institutions with the resources they need to help their students be successful, and continues to expand access to postsecondary education across the Commonwealth."
The request will be submitted to the governor's office this week.

Big Snow In The Cascades
SEATTLE (AP) — Forecasters expect another 10 to 20 inches of snow to fall in the Cascades today on top of the 1 to 2 feet of snow that has fallen in the last two days, creating winter driving conditions in mountain passes. Chains are required on all vehicles early today on Interstate 90 at Snoqualmie Pass. Some snow will likely accumulate today on lower elevations in the eastern third of the state, including Spokane.

Elizabeth and Dave, thanks for reading the book with me! I'll think we're in for a really interesting discussion.
To answer your question, Elizabeth, I'm going to 'fess up and admit that I actually am not a big sports fan. And by that I mean, I usually hate sports. I haven't played any team sports since junior high. I haven't watched basketball since the University of Arkansas Razorbacks won the NCAA tournament in 1994 (woo! pig! sooey!).
Which isn't to say sports doesn't sometimes interest me. I would have liked to see LeBron James play Kobe Bryant this year, but it wasn't meant to be. And while baseball hasn't interested me as a sport, baseball writing intrigues me because it can be more about the people who play than the action on the field. I had a professor once who believed that was the reason Americans liked baseball, and probably explains why I don't; fans are devoted to the histories and personalities of their teams, and watching the game on the field allows you to take part in the story-telling. I have a friend who goes to as many Mets games as she can, no matter how badly they're doing, because she and her dad went throughout her childhood.
There are two sports books on my to-read list in addition to the A-Rod book, however: "A Few Seconds of Panic: A 5-Foot 8-Inch, 170-Pound, 43-Year-Old Sportswriter Plays Football with the Pros" by Stefan Fastis, and "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game" by Michael Lewis.

A handyman who was house-sitting in Prairie Township apparently tried to stop a burglary and was fatally shot yesterday morning, investigators said.
William David Keen, 49, was found dead on Oxley Road, next to the house he was watching at 5012 Palmetto St., Franklin County Sheriff Zach Scott said.
Scott said that Keen, who lived on Wilson Avenue on the South Side, was staying the night at the Palmetto Street house, where he had been doing renovation work for the homeowner. There were some tools and other equipment he wanted to keep an eye on, Scott said.
Investigators assume Keen was shot after he heard a noise and went out to investigate.
"We're going to treat this as a potential burglary gone wrong," Scott said.
The garage door of the small ranch home was ajar and crooked, as if someone had attempted to jack it open.
Neighbors, including Margaret Hogan, who lives on the corner opposite the Palmetto house, said the garage door is not usually like that.
She woke to the sounds of two or three gunshots about 2 a.m., she said, but her husband told her to go back to sleep, thinking they were firecrackers. At least one neighbor told investigators he heard a woman scream and saw a white four-door sedan speed off about the same time.
A man coming home from work found Keen's body just after 6 a.m.
According to Franklin County auditor's records, the house was purchased in June by Chet Seng, who could not be reached yesterday.

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is a well-described entity that is believed to be caused by abnormal anatomy of the optic disc and to be precipitated by several stressor-s or disease states. Activated protein C resistance (APCR) is a recently described mutation of factor V (FV) gene that renders FV resistant to cleavage by activated protein C. APCR predisposes to thrombotic events. The case of a 61-year-old woman with AION and activated protein C resistance is presented, and the management is discussed. We thoroughly review the literature on these two conditions. We propose that a prospective analysis of the potential role of APCR in some cases of AION is needed and suggest that physicians consider this and other prothombotic states when evaluating patients with AION.

Senior executives of newly listed, state-controlled Mighty River Power are in line for shares in lieu of cash bonuses worth $1.2 million for the year to June 30, one of the company's first disclosures to the NZX and ASX as a listed company show.
Some $418,750 of that total will be owed to chief executive Doug Heffernan, assuming bonus benchmarks are met. Heffernan draws an annual base salary of $934,125 and earned a total of $1.49 million after bonus in the year to June 30 last year.
Heffernan, MRP's founding chief executive, is also being paid an additional $500,000 for agreeing to stay with the newly part-privatised company until June 30, 2014.
The rest of the company's senior executives are also being offered MRP shares paid as bonuses worth up to $1.44 million if new performance benchmarks are met under a revised long term incentive scheme in the 2015 and 2016 financial years.
The disclosures show that of the five senior managers covered by the long term incentive scheme, only Heffernan and MRP's development general manager Mark Trigg spent their own money to buy shares in the MRP float.
Counting bonus shares that will only vest if they hold their shares for a minimum of three years, trusts associated with Heffernan bought two lots of 6,200 shares, while Trigg bought 10,100 shares.
General manager of operations, Fraser Whineray, retail general manager James Munro, and chief financial officer William Meek did not buy shares in the May 10 float, which saw 113,000 New Zealand retail investors buy 49 per cent of the company along with local and foreign institutional investors.
The government retains a controlling 51 per cent interest.
The existing bonus scheme ties bonus payments to the company's "total shareholder return performance relative to benchmarks."
However, the new plan will benchmark performance to MRP's share price performance against the NZX50 index of the country's top 50 listed companies, with half of the available bonuses payable if MRP performs above the 50th per centile for the index.
They will be eligible for their total bonus if the shares perform at or above the 75th per centile for the index.
MRP is New Zealand's second largest listed electricity company, after Contact Energy and displacing TrustPower, and is expected to be included in the NZX50, perhaps in July, once it has satisfied NZX rules requiring shares to trade and demonstrate their qualification for inclusion.

I went to Kuala Lumpur, alone. A breathe of new air, seeking of new adventures, finding old friends, could do no harm. On that lonely night, travelling across the dreaded causeway was a breeze, I found myself to be earlier of schedule, bus schedule that was, by one and a half hours. So what I did? I ate. This was supposed to be a feasting journey, and my first meal started with Fillet O' fish from our good old MacDonald.
The journey towards KL was much faster than I anticipated, so I arrived there 4am in the morning, and found a place which was open and had roti prata; I ate again. This was, the start of my feasting week.
And it was all very exciting indeed. I did it the typical tourist way; monorails, Lrt, cabs and of course walking about. Conversing in "English" with flabbergasted hand signs, I managed to find my way around, somehow.
To whoever who says that the only good food in Malaysia is their street food. I'm sorry, but I don't agree. The whole dining scene in Malaysia is so vibrant! There's plenty of creative concepts everywhere, I was so amazed by it that most of the time I was walking around checking out ideas which I've never seen before.
And I didn't mention about the shopping yet. Unfortunately, it was the Malaysian annual sale when I went, everywhere was screaming the four letter word, S-A-L-E! It was almost like a scene out of "Confession of a shopaholic"; every store I walked past, the mannequin seems to be waving and beckoning me to step inside the shop. Among the malls that I went to, KLCC, Pavilion and Sunway shopping mall; the spacious Pavilion stood out with a good mix of the luxury and other mid-level brands.
When I ate with my uncle's family, we mostly had Chinese food, everything was freaking cheap there (1SGD to RM2.45). So I ate, and ate, and ate some more.
My short four days stay had a typical routine, I'll wake up to have breakfast from places like Oldtown & it's competitors like OldBoy. Kaya toast, nasi lemak, soft boiled eggs, and a cup of kopi-o.
And then we will go shopping, until our legs are tired and the stomach started to growl. Then we'll have lunch, the la-mien was from Chinese restaurant Dragon-i; a Malaysian version of our Crystal Jade. Their sister restaurant, Canton-i recently opened in Ion, Singapore too! Since I NEVER ate at Crystal Jade before, there's no way I could compare the two, but the food was pretty decent for the price, considering a restaurant setting.
After lunch, we continue to shop, and shop, and shop. I love the tai-tai life, and how can there be no high tea? We had cakes, ice cream, every afternoon. Then we continue to shop, until dinner.
One of the highlight of the trip that I was looking forward to, was meeting the KL Bloggers. I've always enjoyed reading their food adventures across the straits. I managed to meet up with Sugar Bean, Kampungboycitygirl, and ivyaiwei for dinner.
And our pursuit of good local street food brought us to Jalan Alor – a long stretch of road where there's so many stalls to eat from! Our mini food-tour started with the very delicious BBQ chicken wings, siew yoke mee (roasted pork noodle), and fried bee hoon.
Us: Hello, twelve chicken wings (for four of us) please.
Staff: Stunned for a moment. Are you sure about it?
The chicken wings, were freaking awesome, so was the siew yoke mee, althought I would prefer the roast pork to be sliced bigger! We headed to our second stop for BBQ Stingrays and squids. Their interpretation of the stingray was quite unlike our local version (which was closer to JB); it was dried with no wet chilli gravy on top. It was fascinating to hear from the rest about the difference in the rojak too.
Adjacent to Jalan Alor, is Changkat Bukit Bintang which reminded me of Holland Village; another stretch of road for the night owls, very hip & happening, with lots of restaurants, a complete opposite to the street food from Jalan Alor, but they complimented each other perfectly.
It was such a coincidence when we bumped into thenomadGourmand on the street.We chatted like old time friends by the road, and she decided to join us for desserts. But first, she knew that Masak-masak, awhiffoflemongrass, fatboybakes and gang were in the same area too. So we dropped by and say hi!
After some deliberation, our group ended at in Le Bouchon, a fine-dining restaurant for some sweets. It was hilarious and embarrassing at the same time when the complimentary breads seemed to be more than what we ordered for desserts.The creme brulee was pretty decent, while the tiramisu was disappointing. The latter didn't have any texture, it was more like just mousse with totally no alcohol and coffee flavour.
* * *
This is more or less, the summary of my short trip to KL. Four days were too short, I didn't want to come back at all. It was a paradise, eating, shopping, eating, shopping. I want to go back again! And there will be three more places, which I'll like to highlight and show separately in the next post.

Australia's largest electricity retailer Origin Energy has pushed back its next debt repayment to 2015 after securing a $2.4 billion syndicated bank loan facility.
Origin has been actively chasing long term debt over the past year to meet its funding share of the massive $US23 billion ($A22.56 billion) Australia Pacific LNG project in Queensland, in which it has a 37.5 per cent stake.
The new loan facility has terms of four and five years and will be used to refinance existing loan facilities maturing next year and in 2014, removing any requirement for refinancing until the 2015 financial year.
Origin's executive director of finance and strategy, Karen Moses, said the company had received strong support, as evidenced by high demand from lenders.
It raised 500 million euros ($A640.45 million) through a bond issue this week, following the printing of $US500 million 10-year bonds last year and a $900 million hybrid issue in Australia.
Origin is also trying to sell down its stake in APLNG to 30 per cent to ease its balance sheet.
At June 30, Origin reported $5.9 billion of debt but $1 billion of that was attributable to New Zealand's Contact Energy, in which it is a majority shareholder.
Its undrawn facilities totalled about $4.2 billion.
Morningstar equities analyst Gareth James said he did not see Origin as having debt problems, unlike highly-geared iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group which also recently refinanced its debt so it did not fall due until late 2015.
"Unlike Fortescue with volatile earnings, Origin produces a strong cashflow from its energy retailing business as the largest provider in Australia," he told AAP.
About 90 per cent of earnings come from Origin's energy retail and generation business.
But there are concerns about its near-term growth, with capital expenditure stopped due to its focus on the LNG development in Queensland.
Origin shares had climbed six cents to $11.64 at 1.00pm.

We knew Assassin's Creed II was getting downloadable content and Ubisoft even announced the names of the expansions -- Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanities -- but Ubisoft has released more details today, including a price breakdown (it's more reasonable than you think).
Battle of Forli will be released in late January, and consists of six memories (read: missions) that involve Ezio being wrapped up with Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza as they defeat the Orsi brothers. Participating will cost you $3.99. Bonfire of the Vanities will arrive not long after, sometime in February, and include ten missions inside Florence, a new move (the "spring jump") and cost $4.99. You'll be tasked with taking out the monk Savonarola to finish the job.
These additions are the two "corrupted" memories you may have noticed in the game.

Columbus By The Slice: Todd's Pizza
TODD'S PIZZA: 139 E Main St, West Jefferson, OH 43162.
PICTURES: Click here for pics of the pizza at Todd's!
Atmosphere: 4.5/5.0 (really unique, homey).
Price: 4.0/5.0 (just a few bucks above our normal $10 range).
Location: 3.5/5.0 (in West Jeff, so a bit of a drive for some).
Service: 4.0/5.0 (overall a solid job).
Taste: 8.5/10 (didn't have a bad pizza).
Bottom Line: 24.5/30 is their final score! Todd's Pizza marries two things - great pizza and a welcoming, charming atmosphere. No major frills or anything crazy. But, what they have is something corporate chains simply cannot do: have a history in a small town like West Jeff. Loved this place. "BLT" pizza was tasty, but the best bet is either the "Big Kahuna" or the "Meat Lovers." While it can be a drive out 70W for some, it's worth the trip... and it's a trip we'll gladly make again.

Oakland Athletics Continue Their Offseason Overhaul
It may be a brand new year, but it's proving to be the same old Athletics.
A team known in recent history for their offseason trades and signings that leave them with a completely different looking ball club from one year to the next, the A's have once again used the offseason to this point to make a lot of moves (some good, some bad) to change up the overall structure of their team.
The most recent case coming on Saturday with the trading away of John Jaso and a couple of top prospects, in Daniel Robertson and Boog Powell, to the Rays in exchange for Ben Zobrist and Yunel Escobar, who will both help what has the potential to be a good A's team in 2015.
Despite losing John Jaso, who was a solid player for the Athletics in 2014, as well as Robertson and Powell, the A's got back a fairly good package in return.
After an extended period of trade rumors surrounding Ben Zobrist, a transaction for him finally occurred, sending Zobrist off to the A's. Two years removed from back-to-back 20 homer seasons, Zobrist hit a mere 10 bombs in 2014, but is still more than capable of impacting any team he's on, as he has over the course of his All-Star career with the Rays.
Other moves the A's have made so far to go along with the Zobrist and Escobar trade that could turn out to have major impacts began with the pickup of Billy Butler on a three-year, thirty million dollar contract. The Athletics then proceeded to swap their All-Star third baseman, Josh Donaldson, for fellow hot corner defender, Brett Lawrie, from the Blue Jays.
While the Butler deal was applauded by many, the Donaldson move was one that left many people scratching their heads. However, they weren't done there.
Following the initial offseason additions of Butler and Lawrie, the Athletics kicked off the 2014 Winter Meetings, trading slugger Brandon Moss to the Indians, and almost immediately after departed ways with Jeff Samardzija for a few potential valuable but unproven players from the White Sox.
Even though there are some things the Athletics have done that I don't agree with, for the most part I like where the A's are headed.
Losing Yoenis Cespedes to the Red Sox via a trade for Jon Lester, and knowing they wouldn't likely retain Lester upon the end of the season, the moves the A's are making should help them in their attempt to make up for those losses.
Even after losing Lester, the Athletics' rotation will still be decent, with Sonny Gray leading the way, along with Jarrod Parker who is set to return to health, and their lineup always seems to find a way to produce runs. Having finished with a win-loss record above .500 for each of the past three seasons, things are seemingly lining up to make it four.
The Injury Bug: Numerous Players To Miss Time
Another day, another injury. It seems that's been the common theme as of late, with Michael Bourn, Yu Darvish, Aroldis Chapman and Jurickson Profar being the most recent players to fall victim to what's become somewhat of an injury epidemic around Major League Baseball.
While every year brings injuries throughout both the offseason and the regular season, this year seems to be above average in that department, and the season hasn't even begun yet. Including names such as Patrick Corbin, Manny Machado, Matt Kemp, and Jarrod Parker, among many others, the list of players set to miss Opening Day — the entire season for some players — due to injury continues to grow larger. Although some players aren't that big of a loss overall, some will have a drastic impact on their team's success.
None more so than the loss of Brandon Beachy and Kris Medlen for the Braves. Both are set to miss the entire season due to the second Tommy John surgeries of their careers, and losing these key pieces to the Braves' starting rotation will likely have a profound impact on how they perform as a whole. I had the Braves winning the National League East division in 2014, as they did last season, however, the subtraction of these players from the roster could cause them to fall down in the rankings a bit.
But the Braves aren't the only team that could fall down a bit due to an injured player.
Patrick Corbin being out for what could be the entire season will have an effect on the Diamondback's performance this season. Corbin really broke out last year, and was set to lead their starting rotation throughout the coming season. But without him, while the D-backs should still be a good team, they won't be able to give the Dodgers a run for the division title like they previously would've possibly been able to do.
However, the team that will likely see the second biggest drop, behind the Braves, from their predicted finish will be the Athletics, who will be without A.J. Griffin for a good bit of time, but more importantly won't have Jarrod Parker for the entire season. He, like many pitchers I've discussed, is undergoing Tommy John surgery that will keep him out until 2015. With Parker out, the A's will have a difficult time overtaking the Rangers in the American League West division as they've done the past two seasons.
Not all of these injuries have occurred recently, though. A few players that won't be ready for Opening Day had their injuries happen much earlier than this offseason or Spring Training.
Manny Machado, Jose Iglesias, Matt Kemp, and Matt Harvey are all missing a good deal of time due to nagging injuries from 2013, with Matt Harvey (and possibly Jose Iglesias as well) out for the full length of the season. When healthy, all have extreme impacts on their respective teams, so, obviously, not having them being their productive selves is a big loss.
But despite all of the injuries that seem to grow in number everyday, these are the types of things teams just have to play through. You have to compete with what you have. And therefore, it's sure to be an interesting and exciting 2014 season, with there now being just six days until Opening Day.

The charitable mission of St. Francis Pet Care (SFPC) is to help keep people in our most vulnerable communities together with their pets, so both can benefit from the human-animal bond. To this end, we provide primary non-emergency veterinary care to the companion animals of homeless persons, veterans referred from the VA, and very low income residents of Alachua County, Florida.
We provide exams, treatment, vaccines and medicines, consultations, spay/neuter services, monthly flea and heartworm preventives, pet food and pet supplies. We work to reduce the number of companion animals turned into shelters because their owners can no longer afford their care, and to increase the proportion of spayed and neutered pets in the population we serve. We educate our clients in responsible pet care and help them improve the lives of their pets. We do home visits when necessary to ensure the well-being of the animals and reduce the incidence of zoonotic diseases in these communities.
St. Francis Pet Care provides primary non-emergency veterinary care and services to responsible but homeless or very low income pet owners at our weekly Clinic. We only see pets belonging to clients who meet our eligibility criteria and have attended a screening and orientation session.
Veterinary care at the Clinic is provided by veterinary students and faculty of the shelter medicine elective at the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine and by local veterinarians donating their time. Non-veterinary functions such as scheduling, client screening, cleaning, and record keeping are handled by students and other community volunteers.
Primary veterinary services provided include exams, vaccinations, and treatment for common problems. Our vet techs do nail clipping and microchip implantation. Patients are provided with medications for common ailments such as ear infections, skin conditions, and pain. Clients are supposed to come in monthly to pick up doses of flea and heartworm preventives, and they can get pet food weekly. Pet supplies (leashes, collars, harnesses, coats, beds, cat litter, toys and treats) are offered when available.
A major objective of SFPC is to teach responsible pet ownership and to encourage the spaying and/or neutering of all cats and dogs. Clients are allowed to have no more than two animals in the program at any one time, and in order to be accepted as clients, all animals in their household must be spayed/neutered. SFPC arranges and pays for intact animals to be sterilized and in some cases provides transportation.
