Republican Supermajority In New Legislature
Republicans will hold a supermajority of the Chautauqua County Legislature as of Jan. 1, while four Democrat incumbents are on their way out following Tuesday's elections.
In the new legislature, 13 of 19 legislators will be Republican.
"We gained a couple of seats which is very important," said Allan Hendrickson, chairman of the Chautauqua County Republican Committee. "We'll be able to do things we weren't able to do before."
"We do what we can for the people we have here," Hendrickson added.
Furthermore, the outcome of the election could significantly affect the future of the Chautauqua County Home and the possibility of it being sold to a private buyer.
"In my opinion, the election was a referendum on the County Home," Assemblyman Andy Goodell said. He explained that with the privitization of the skilled nursing facility, money could be used to keep future taxes down.
"The public overwhelmingly said they wanted a smaller government, lower taxes and more jobs," Goodell said.
With the Republican supermajority of the new legislature, the home is more likely to be sold.
Thirteen votes will now be needed to sell real property owned by the county.
Democrats Robert Whitney, Thomas DeJoe, William Coughlin and Thomas Erlandson lost in Tuesday's elections.
Bob Scudder (R, C-Fredonia) beat Coughlin (D, WF, I-Fredonia) in District 3, 966-709.
"I am humbly excited," Scudder said Tuesday night. "I am thrilled to serve. It's an honor to be re-elected. I am looking forward to the downsized legislature and I want to thank all the voters that supported me."
"The voters have spoken," Coughlin said, "I find it all amusing because I was the one leading the fight to save the County Home and cut the budget as much as possible. Scudder is a good legislator, but the people have made their choice, so they can live with it."
Terry Niebel (R, C, I-Dunkirk) beat Susan Baldwin (D-South Dayton) and Amy Farnham in District 5, earning 925, or 60 percent, of the votes, compared with Baldwin's 529 and Farnham's 98.
"I am happy to be unofficially elected," Niebel said, thanking his wife, friends and family for their support.
Whitney (D, WF, I-Jamestown) lost to David Wilfong (R, C-Jamestown) 533-444 in the District 11 race.
Frederick Larson (D, I-Jamestown) won the District 12 race, defeating William Prieto (R, C-Jamestown) 647-450.
Ronald Lemon (R, C-Frewsburg) defeated Erlandson (D, I-Frewsburg) 1,077-641.
P.J. Wendel (R, C-Lakewood) won the District 10 seat 996-663 over Sharon Lisciandro (D, I-Lakewood).
David Himelein (R-Findley Lake) won re-election to the legislature, defeating challenger Edward Carutis (D, WF-Sherman) 882-561. He will represent the new District 18 in the legislature.
Lisa Vanstrom (R-Ellicott) defeated Sam Ognibene, 1,020-485, though Ognibene suspended his candidacy in mid-October.
In District 7, John Runkle (R, C, I-Stockton) defeated DeJoe 850-624.
In District 4, Janet Keefe (D, WF, I-Fredonia) won, defeating Michael Sullivan (R, C-Fredonia) by a margin of 450-338.
Legislators running unopposed were Keith Ahlstrom, D-Dunkirk; Shaun Heenan, D-Dunkirk; George Borrello, R-Silver Creek; Pierre Chagnon, R-Bemus Point; Charles Nazzaro, D-Jamestown; Mark Tarbrake, R-Lakewood; Jay Gould, R-Ashville; Paula DeJoy, D, I-Jamestown, and John Hemmer, R-Westfield.

Fulfilling Your Pro Bono Pledge
Engaging in individual public service can be one of the most rewarding and beneficial experiences during law school. Whether you volunteer to assist refugees and asylum seekers as they navigate the immigration system or coach high school students on a mock trial team, we promise that you will enjoy taking some time away from school to help others in need. Students who elect to participate in the Pro Bono Pledge are encouraged to fulfill 50 hours of pro bono work before graduation.
PSAB is excited to help individuals find service projects that are tailored to their interests. We have long-standing institutional connections with many organizations throughout the larger St. Louis community and beyond. Feel free to contact us with any questions or for advice finding an individual service opportunity or for help fulfilling your Pro Bono Pledge.
Students are also encouraged to find opportunities for public service and pro bono work through student organizations. Student groups volunteer, sponsor public interest speakers, and raise money for the Public Interest Summer Stipend. Several student organizations coordinate their own ongoing public service projects. For example, the Environmental Law Society provides invaluable research for the Missouri Coalition for the Environment. The Women's Law Caucus administers a debating program with the Juvenile Detention Center of the City of St. Louis. In addition, the International Law Society, in conjunction with the American Red Cross, educates high school students about humanitarian law through the International Humanitarian Law Teaching Project.

Service-Learning and Social Work Competency-Based Education: A "Goodness of Fit"?
As social work education moves to a competency-based approach, faculty are increasing their use of pedagogical tools designed to provide students with opportunities, in addition to traditional field placements, to develop practice skills. Faculty are no doubt turning to service-learning, and other forms of experiential education, to provide these opportunities and to offer an additional means for departments to demonstrate and measure student practice behaviors. To help focus the use of service-learning in social work education, this article uses sources from the larger service-learning field and from social work scholarship to examine the nature of service-learning, to review current service-learning trends, to summarize its use in social work education, and to raise questions about its goodness of fit with competency-based education.

March 3, 2008 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1:TXT Update Files for Manual Check Program - Price Increases
SUBJECT 2: Reminder on Using STRM Screen in HANDS
SUBJECT 3: New Satellite Numbers for Selected LWPs
- TXT Update Files for Manual Ck Program - Price Increases: A new folder has been created under WIC Reports on Crystal. This folder, labeled "WIC Manual Check Program and Update Files", contains two links. One link is to download the manual check program itself; the other is to download the current TXT update files. These files in the past have been e-mailed to all WIC coordinators and vendor coordinators at each agency. This e-mail will no longer be sent. By posting these through Crystal, we can assure the most current TXT files are always available.
Once you click on this link, find the header called "WIC Manual Check Updates", and then follow the instructions for saving the three TXT files. Once these files are saved, run the updates through the administration menu. To verify you have the updates installed, follow the instructions on the link in Crystal.
For assistance, please contact Melissa Seaver at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-751-6489.
- Reminder on Using STRM Screen in HANDS: LWP staff have reported to us that staff at other agencies sometimes mistakenly print WIC checks and other documents on the wrong printer. They intend to print to a printer in their agency but accidentally send to a printer in another agency. To prevent this from happening, go to the STRM screen every day before starting WIC business and set the proper print ID.
To check the print ID, key STRM as the transaction identification (Tran ID) and press the right Ctrl key. The STRM screen should be displayed with the terminal identification (Term ID) and the print identification (Print ID). Check the Print ID assigned to the printer. If incorrect, key the correct Print ID and press the F5 key to update.
For you have questions, please contact the HANDS Help Desk at 800-554-2544.
- New Satellite Numbers for Selected LWPs: In the February 11, 2008 WIC Updates, we included an article that stated there are 42 agencies that have at least one satellite that does not currently have a unique agency number. Effective March 3, 2008 all WIC satellites will have a number assigned that will be used when keying information into HANDS for participants at the satellite site. In mid-February Larry Rutledge e-mailed the administrator and WIC coordinator of the affected agencies to provide them details of this change.
If you are one of the affected agencies and did not receive an email from Larry Rutledge or have questions, contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-0226 or 800-392-8209.

here's my take...I've always been the guy to buy a cd, most likely a deluxe version...so I can get the extra song or three. but there always seemed to be a song or two that die hards would get and chat about. where did these songs come from? I would wonder...for about thirty seconds...and just move on.
this is the first time i'm buying a cd from overseas for the sole purpose of getting the whole shebang. it isn't that much extra. and I win by getting a song or two extra. but it's a choice I'm making. and it'll certainly be one that i'll have to live with if another song surfaces.
I get buying locally. I support it. and I practice it. but at what cost? mr h...your own moniker here is named after a song I not only don't own...I heard it for the very first time probably within the last five years. and even then...only because someone here most likely posted (still) videos from youtube so we can enjoy it.
point is...we have an opportunity to get, maybe, the whole thing (or at least 16 of the 20 songs he recorded) that is a big deal considering the album proper is only 12 songs. I have never been aware of this opportunity before. it may have always been there...but I didn't know about it. but now I do. and our little macca family here...I think we owe it to each other to at least make others aware of what else may be out there...other than your local walmart/target/best buy.
I think it is completely possible that this may be paul's last rock album. each one of us must weigh our financial opportunities. should I get this...or that? i'm doing this whole hog. I have, in fact. that lone bellows album, or that Robert Randolph album will always be there for you to pick up...maybe even in the reduced stack one day. but those missing tracks available on import only...on cd (some, like me, like to actually have something to hold)...may not. choose well, pei mei.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Title VI - Law and EPA's Regulations
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more about PDF, and for a link to the free Adobe Reader.
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. §2000d to 2000d-7) (PDF) (13 pp, 23K) prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin in their programs or activities. Title VI itself prohibits intentional discrimination.
Under EPA's Title VI implementing regulations, EPA-funded agencies are prohibited from taking acts, including permitting actions, that are intentionally discriminatory or have a discriminatory effect based on race, color, or national origin.
EPA's Program to Implement Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in all programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. Title VI itself prohibits intentional discrimination.
The Supreme Court has ruled, however, that Title VI authorizes federal agencies, including EPA, to adopt implementing regulations that prohibit discriminatory effects as well as intentional discrimination. Frequently, discrimination results from policies and practices that are neutral on their face, but have the effect of discriminating. Facially-neutral policies or practices that result in discriminatory effects violate EPA's Title VI regulations unless it is shown that they are justified and that there is no less discriminatory alternative.
Title VI allows persons to file administrative complaints with federal departments and agencies alleging discrimination by financial assistance recipients. The Office of Civil Rights has the responsibility within EPA to process and review Title VI administrative complaints.
EPA's Guidance on Title VI
For example, as part of its obligations under Title VI, recipients of EPA financial assistance must provide meaningful access to Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons. To help recipients of EPA financial assistance satisfy its Title VI obligations, EPA issued:
- Guidance to Environmental Protection Agency Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons (LEP Recipient Guidance) (PDF) (12 pp, 226K)
- Title VI Public Involvement Guidance for EPA Assistance Recipients Administering Environmental Permitting Programs (PDF) (11 pp, 6.3M) (Public Involvement Guidance)
- Draft Guidance for Investigating Title VI Administrative Complaints Challenging Permits (Draft Revised Investigation Guidance)
- Advancing Environmental Justice through Title VI (Draft) (PDF) (11 pp, 647K) focusing on Title VI and its integration with Plan EJ 2014, sets forth goals, strategies, and activities that will assist in building a robust Title VI civil rights program. This implementation plan was developed by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), in consultation with the Office of Environmental Justice and the Office of General Counsel.
Title VI Settlements
You can find settlement agreement information at EPA's Title VI Settlements site.

Eudyptes sclateri pairs breed in large colonies usually with rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome). The males usually return to the vicinity of the previous nesting site two weeks before the females return. The pre-egg stage is marked by lots of activity and fighting. The nest site is usually on flat rocky ground no higher than seventy meters above sea level. The female, who usually forms the nest cup, rotates on her breast and kicks and pushes dirt away from the cup with her feet. The male then usually rings the nest cup with rocks and mud and lines it with a little grass if it is available. Egg laying occurs in early October and lasts three to five days, during which time, the female fasts. The clutch normally contains two eggs with the second egg noticeably larger than the first. The eggs are normally a chalky pale blue or green and later become a light brown. After the second egg is laid, incubation begins and lasts for approximately thirty-five days. Usually, the first egg, which is smaller, is lost (at least ninety-eight percent of the time) and the second, larger egg is the only one to hatch. Males and females take turns incubating eggs. Two to three days after the eggs hatch, the female disappears and leaves the male to guard the nest. The guard stage lasts three to four weeks, during which period the male fasts and the female returns daily to feed the chick regurgitated food. The fledgling period, when the chicks leave the island, normally begins in February, at which point the chick enters adulthood (Richdale 1951; Stonehouse 1975; Muller-Schwarze 1984; Williams 1995).

Estimated grade. Sold by B. Max Mehl Jun '41 price realized $41.5
David Akers (1975/88): Being the first year of issue, the 1907 was widely saved as a souvenir or novelty and therefore many exist in very choice or even gem Mint State. There are also some pieces known that are truly superb, if not close to perfection. Below MS-65, this issue is really no problem to locate and gems, although scarce, can generally be found with only a little effort.
After Charles Barber made his "technical improvements" on Saint-Gaudens' original design, the relief was "flattened" significantly giving this issue (and the other No Motto issues as well) the appearance of being weakly struck, especially on Miss Liberty. Actually, the strike is generally quite sharp; it is just that the dies lacked the proper detail. Lustre on this issue is usually good but is slightly subdued (as on most of the early issues) in comparison to the later (after 1920) issues. The surfaces are the 'soft" frosty type seen on most early Saint-Gaudens pieces, particularly the Philadelphia Mint issues. Color varies greatly on this issue from a greenish gold to medium orange. Some rose gold and even coppery gold examples also exist.

Cinnamon - that most popular of spices - comes from the bark of an evergreen tree. Cinnamon's sweet, spicy and warm fragrance adds pungent sweetness to your favorite baked goodies. You can also use it to add a depth of flavor to savory dishes as well.
Though often used interchangeably, cassia and cinnamon are not the same. Cinnamomum cassia (grown primarily in China and Indonesia) is reddish-brown and pungently sweet, while Cinnamomum zeylanicum (from Sri Lanka and India) is buff-colored and mild. Cassia is usually preferred for its more intense color and flavor.
Vietnamese (Cinnamomum loureirri)
Formally known as Saigon cinnamon, this special variety is rebounding in popularity in the U.S., following a more than 20-year absence. Compared to Indonesian types, Vietnamese cinnamon has a distinctly sweet flavor and an exceptionally high volatile oil content. Gourmet cooks rate it as the highest quality cinnamon in the world.
Suggested Use
Cinnamon is the world's most popular baking spice. You'll recognize its familiar taste and aroma in cakes, breads, cookies, breads and pies, dumplings, puddings, pastries and ice cream. It's common in savory dishes, too--soups, chutneys, catsup, pickles, squash, vinegars and meat glazes--and hot drinks like cider, coffee, tea and cocoa
Cinnamon complements fruits like apricots, cherries, apples, blueberries and oranges. Vegetables, too--especially carrots, spinach and onions--are enhanced by cinnamon's pungent sweetness.

This is the best smelling cinnamon I have ever tried. And the taste is wonderful. I use it in teas, chocolate protein shakes. I have not baked with it as I don't eat wheat. update: I am ordering again--but have had this cinnamon for 6 months now in a humid climate and it is still wonderfully flavorful and I stll marvel at how delicious my hot cacao is with this added. This is just absolutely the BEST!!

Frontier Vietnamese cinnamon
this Vietnamese cinnamon has a sweet smell and taste. the good news it doesn't turn slimy when using in cooking unlike the Indonesian by starwest botanical. the bad news is this isn't non-irradiated, which means this has undergone a process of ionized radiation to increase shelf life and kill any bacteria existing on the spice (or herbs). thus most of the valuable, including medicinal, qualities are purged, which may even contain carcinogenic chemicals as a by product. i hope they will have this non-irradiated.

City Council to consider complaints about metal shredder at NU Steel and Recycling
NEW ULM – The New Ulm City Council will meet today at 5 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
The Council will consider having the City investigate the metal shredder at New Ulm Steel and Recycling for compliance with the City code and ordinances, which would require New Ulm Steel to hire the firm IEA, Inc. to test the area.
New Ulm Steel's metal shredder was installed in January. It can break down anything from a toaster to several school buses. It also separates ferrous and non-ferrous metals to sell in bulk. It stands on a 17-feet deep concrete slab and can process up to 100 tons of material in an hour.
The complaints about the shredder are the noise, vibration and any potential hazard from debris being sprayed from the machine. The City has responded to three explosions on the New Ulm Steel grounds in the last few months resulting from the shredding process. Complaints included vibrations and noise being felt on the surrounding properties, including a day-care facility. Although City officials have found metal material that flew from the machine onto surrounding properties, it could not be determined if the material originated from the explosions or the normal operations of the shredder.
City codes cited in the council agenda state that New Ulm Recycling's industrial area requires this type of property to be a good neighbor by muffling noise so it's not objectionable to other properties. The code requires preventing vibrations from being felt on other properties for more than three minutes in any given hour and taking reasonable protection against any fire or explosion hazard.
The agenda urges the Council to require testing of the facility for the vibrations and noise. It notes that the investigated, larger explosions are problematic due to shockwaves and sound emanating outward for three to four blocks.
However, the agenda urges the Council to also make determinations on what it considers "reasonable precaution" against the explosions and how many explosions over what time period are acceptable. There may have been smaller explosions that did not cause problems. It also requests the Council to consider these questions in context of what is reasonable for adjacent property owners to endure.
The cost of the testing is estimated at $3,400.
In other business, the Council will hold a public hearing for the Denoff Companies LLC's request for a modified TIF district for its 50-unit senior housing project with Martin Luther College at 1520 Sunset Ave. in New Ulm. If it is approved, the unit must provide 20 percent of its housing as low-income units.
The Council will also consider a request to the Double Anniversary Committee and the Hermann Monument Society to allow a celebration, cannon fire and fireworks for the "Double Anniversary Celebration" of the 125th anniversary of the Hermann Monument Cornerstone and the 150th anniversary of the New Ulm Battery on Sept. 7 at Hermann Heights Park. The request includes serving alcohol at the event.
Also, the Council will consider authorizing the solicitation of bids for replacing the 1996 condenser/air conditioning unit at City Hall. The replacement will cost between $40,000 and $50,000, but the money is in the budget.
Finally, the Council will consider closing its DARE account and transferring the remaining balance to General Fund 101. The DARE program, which focused on avoiding use of drugs, was implemented in the 1990s. It has been replaced by the Character Counts program. The account has a balance of $59,570.

I believe that we were the 1st band in the UK to get the M80 pick up, so have had it a little while now. It's been great up until a few weeks ago when we turned up at a gig to find the battery flat. In the last two weeks we have fitted two battery's and now the 2nd one is flat. This last week we have even removed the pickup to eliminate the lead being the problem.
Before I return it to the shop does anyone know if this is this a known problem with a simple fix?

Crisis in the Sahel - Help Now
Roll over image above to zoom in
Help us fight desperate hunger in the Sahel.
In 2012, a great deal of media attention was given to the crisis brought on by drought and conflict in the Sahel. Today, the media spotlight is turned elsewhere, but the hunger crisis continues.
Ongoing conflict has contributed to the fact that a million people are still living as refugees in the Sahel region. Even among those who still have homes, the search for food depletes resources and tears apart families. This year, the UN reports that more than 11 million people in the Sahel, many of them women and children, are food insecure.
The losses sustained during the 2012 drought have not been recovered. Seeds intended for planting and livestock that should be an investment in the future are being eaten out of sheer desperation, damaging long-term food supplies in order to survive the current situation. The need for immediate and ongoing aid is still desperate, and international funding has fallen terribly short of goals for the area.
You can absolutely make a difference. Your donation provides food, clean water, emergency aid, and with any luck, long-term aid as well to families still on their knees due to this crisis. Thank you for continuing to fight hunger, and for believing that together, we can make the world a better place.

I don't have puffiness, but have dark circles. After about 2 weeks I've noticed a big change. I don't even wear concealer under my eyes anymore, (and I'm 45!). Great product, great price!
I have been using it all over my face and it really shows a difference! Firmer skin, fewer less noticeable wrinkles and lines.I do not look 20 again (I am 52) but the things that bother me about my face are better. No cream has ever done this for me. I am also taking the oral picnoginol.
Good for hydration

Have been purchasing and using this product for quite some time. Definitely hydrates my under eyes, good in reducing lines and puffiness, but not so effective in reducing dark circles. Recommended nonetheless.

Intel Corp., the world's largest maker of microprocessors, on Thursday said that it would cease using Intel Centrino Atom brand-name. The decision seems to be made in order to attract more attention to the Atom brand and avoid mixing of "Centrino" and "Centrino Atom" devices by consumers.
"Basically, we are simplifying and coalescing our efforts around 'Atom' as the single brand for Internet devices," said Nick Jacobs, a company spokesman in Singapore.
Intel Centrino Atom brand was used to describe a package containing Intel Atom Z-series processor and Intel system controller hub (SCH) single-chip core-logic. Hardware manufacturers were allowed to use Centrino Atom brand for mobile Internet devices (MIDs), but not for small form-factor ultra low cost personal computers (ULCPCs), such as netbooks or nettops.
As a result, the Centrino Atom name could confuse customers, who planned to acquire Intel Centrino notebooks, something, which Intel's partners among laptop makers hardly liked.
Hardware makers have been notified of the branding change, and MIDs will now be branded with stickers that say Atom, instead of Centrino Atom.

Paris: Thales Looks to IFE Future
Thales demonstrated the results of its in-flight entertainment (IFE) research and development efforts at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday, displaying flat-screen displays designed for aircraft cabins with eye-tracking and gesture-control capabilities.
(Stuart Dunleavy of Thales, demonstrating the in-flight gesture control system. Photo: Avionics Magazine)
Stuart Dunleavy, Thales vice president of media and connectivity business, said the two functions are the result of more than 18 months of work. The eye-tracking system allows users to select movies, games, television shows and moving map applications by looking at the screen and moving the cursor with their eyes.
"To be honest, we're not sure this will ever see the inside of an aircraft cabin, but there may be some other uses for this in the future," Dunleavy said, adding military, particularly on the company's TopOwl head-up guidance system, may be an application of the technology.
The gesture-control system, which utilizes the company's next-generation AVANT system—along with two additional cameras—works similarly to home gaming systems, allowing users to control the system with the wave of a hand.
"The model here is you're sitting in a first-class seat and you're able to control the system from a long way away," Dunleavy said.
The application within this system could include digital magazines, 360 degree views of destinations, interactive maps, movies, television shows and games, according to Dunleavy.
Development of the system is further advanced than the eye-tracking system, as the company has already seen interest from airlines for their premium cabins. This capability could be installed in aircraft cabins in 12-18 months, Dunleavy said.

About the Authors: John Schnitter serves in the Office of Public Outreach in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, and Kendra Chittenden serves at the U.S. Agency for International Development/Indonesia in Jakarta.
Assistant Secretary Dr. Kerri-Ann Jones of the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs visited with local village leaders in Bali, Indonesia, on February 27 to learn first-hand about their surveillance system for detecting and preventing the spread of infectious diseases in their communities, particularly the deadly H5N1, or avian influenza, virus. As part of U.S. government efforts to increase bilateral collaboration with Indonesia, Dr. Jones -- along with representatives from the U.S. Embassy Jakarta, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) -- met with members of Indonesia's Ministries of Agriculture and Health, the Sedang village leader, and the local poultry farmers, to learn more about the success and challenges the region has had in controlling H5N1.
In Sedang, a village of roughly 1,000 households in the Badung district of Bali, Dr. Jones interacted with villagers who are at the first line of defense against an H5N1 outbreak. Avian influenza first struck Sedang's backyard poultry farms in May 2007. In response, officers from the Bedang district's Participatory Disease Surveillance and Response (PDSR) team, founded in 2006, took immediate action. Thanks to PDSR's efforts, as well as close monitoring of the poultry flocks by local residents, Sedang has not had another outbreak.
The effort to limit the spread of avian influenza has been successful in other parts of Bali as well. In fact, the Denpasar Local Disease Control Center, which coordinates the 36 PDSR teams located throughout Bali, has only recorded one outbreak in 2010. This is in sharp contrast to avian influenza's height in 2007, when 196 villages in the province were infected.
PDSR continues to provide Sedang support for disease prevention and awareness-raising activities. In addition, Sedang was recently selected to be a pilot village for the UNICEF-funded "Tanggap Flu Burung" (Respond to Bird Flu) program.
The United States continues to see Indonesia as a strong partner in the fight to prevent a global H5N1 pandemic, and is extremely grateful to those in places like Sedang who remain ever vigilant for signs of an outbreak in their own communities.

House Panel Wants to Ban Chinese OEMs from U.S. Smartphone and Router Markets
Jason Mick
October 8, 2012 11:31 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Panel suggests Chinese OEMs like ZTE and Huawei could face pressure to steal U.S. financial secrets
Could your router or smartphone be used to spy on you and betray your nation? That's the allegation the U.S. House of Representatives'
Intelligence Committee
made in a
draft report
[PDF] released Monday.
I. Chinese Phonemakers Could be Spying on You For the PLA
In the wake of
an attack on the White House
by Chinese hackers, potentially working for the Chinese government, cybersecurity tensions are high between the U.S. and China. Unsurprisingly, the new report focuses on
the Chinese cybersecurity threat
to American customers and businesses.
The report singles out
two top Chinese equipment manufacturers
-- ZTE Corp. (
) and Huawei Technologies Comp. (
) -- suggesting that U.S. lawmakers take the unusual step of banning the Chinese companies' products from the market.

Globally, ZTE is the fourth largest maker of mobile phones, while Huawei is sixth. In the routers, switches, and telecommunications market, Huawei is the world's second largest company in revenue, while ZTE ranks fifth. Both companies are looking to expand their sales base in the U.S.
But according to Congress, the companies could face pressure from the Chinese government to include subtle hardware or software constructs to spy on U.S. communications. That could allow the theft of valuable information that could hurt U.S. companies financially or leak sensitive defense secrets.
II. ZTE, Huawei Blast "Baseless" "Political Distractions"
Both companies firmly denied the cyber-spying allegations.
William Plummer, a Washington- based spokesman for the Huawei,
, "Baseless suggestions otherwise or purporting that Huawei is somehow uniquely vulnerable to cyber mischief ignore technical and commercial realities, recklessly threaten American jobs and innovation, do nothing to protect national security, and should be exposed as dangerous political distractions from legitimate public-private initiatives to address what are global and industry-wide cyber challenge."

ZTE released a statement highlighting that it was not owned by China's ruling Communist Party. It writes, "ZTE is committed to provide maximum cybersecurity through transparent, comprehensive, and continuous standards-based assessments of ZTE software, firmware, and hardware."
Chinese government officials were also quick to deny they were applying pressure on their domestic electronics firms to spy on the U.S. Commented Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei, "Chinese telecommunications companies have conducted their international operations based on market-economy principles. Their investments in the U.S. reflect the mutual benefits brought about by U.S.-China trade relations."
III. Huawei, Founded by ex-PLA Officer, is Client of PLA's Cyberwar Unit
But there is some compelling evidence that Huawei may have a close relationship with cyberwar units inside China's "Peoples Liberation Army" (PLA). A source gave a document tying Huawei to an "elite cyber-warfare unit" in the PLA, which the company was contracted to provide "special network services" to. Huawei's founder and chief executive Ren Zhengfei is a former PLA officer.

Previously, U.S. regulators had blocked Huawei/ZTE acquisitions of domestic communications equipment manufacturers on similar grounds. Huawei attempted to acquire 3Com Corp. in 2008 for $2.2B USD, but the deal was blocked on security concerns. Instead, Hewlett-Packard Comp. (HPQ) ended up scooping up the company for $2.7B USD. Likewise the 2011 sale of sale of patents from 3Leaf Systems Inc. was unwound on similar security concerns.
But until now there had been no suggestion to directly ban ZTE or Huawei from the commercial communications market or the consumer electronics market. But that is precisely the unprecedented recommendation the panel -- led by
Rep. Mike Rogers
(R-MI) -- is making.
While the companies strongly deny its claims, the panel complains that both companies failed to cooperate fully with the investigation and tried to dishonestly disguise their relationships with the Chinese government.
U.S. House Intelligence Committee
Reuters [Yahoo! News]
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

By James R. Feucht, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Specialist Landscape Plants
Whether you live in an apartment house, condominium or a home with a small garden plot, you can add color to your surroundings and some tasty vegetables to your table.
You will be surprised at what can be done with a few large tubs or pots in a small patio area. A tomato plant or two grown in a tub or any suitable container with drainage can supply you with fresh tomatoes throughout the growing season. Special varieties, such as Patio, have been developed especially for container gardening. A cherry tomato, Patio is easy to grow and also is decorative, because it usually produces quantities of bright cherry or plum-sized fruits.
Other varieties, successful in tubs, include Fantastic, Early Girl, Better Boy, and even the big slicers such as Beefsteak. These tend to sprawl, so it is a good idea to provide a strong stake or one of the wire cages developed for tomatoes. You can train the plants upright by pinching out the side branches as they develop, maintaining one leader until some ripening fruit is present. Then allow some side branches to develop for later production.
Other vegetables particularly adaptable to containers include hot and sweet peppers, cucumbers and squash. They also will grow in hanging baskets and double as decorative displays. Try growing pole beans in a container. One or two plants will provide enough beans throughout the growing season for at least one meal a week for a family of four.
Pole beans don't need a pole, but can be trained on a string or any type of trellis if it is strong enough for support, particularly during windy periods.
You can plant vegetables and decorative flowers in the same container. A single tomato planted in the center of a tub and surrounded by colorful geraniums or petunias is an attractive arrangement.
Does container planting take more water? It takes less, overall, than a garden plot, but may require more frequent watering. The type of container helps determine water needs. The sides of the container will be exposed to hot sun, so choose one with thick walls that do not conduct heat readily. Metal and plastic containers are least desirable. Ceramic pots are better, but wooden tubs are best from the standpoint of low heat conduction.
You can reduce the problem of overheating from the sun by surrounding tubs with other plants or garden accessories to provide shade.
In a small garden plot, tomatoes, peppers and beans will be the most productive. You may want to eliminate corn, bush squash, bush beans and other large plants, because they take up too much space.
A recent planting trend is French Intensive Culture, which eliminates traditional row planting. Vegetable seeds are more or less scattered in the planting area. This requires some compatibility of vegetables and flowers, grouping types similar in size. This technique, while utilizing space more efficiently, has its pitfalls, including control of weeds and certain insect pests. Harvesting also can be a problem.
You can utilize small space efficiently with successive plantings of vegetables that mature quickly, such as radishes and leaf lettuce. Replant each area as it is harvested.

Clarks Wave.Trek Navy Leather Women's Shoe
Features include:
Have ball of foot pain and with my own orthotics this shoe is great for walking or exercising. Have other Clark shoes with this technology (WaveWalk) and love them.
Excellent comfortable shoes!! One of my best investments as far as shoes. Definitely worth the price.
I love these shoes. I wear them almost daily as my wardrobe allows. I do have my own inserts for the shoes but they are so very comfortable and well made.
I suffer from plantar fascitiis and I usually just purchase insoles. But my back was hurting even with the insoles (I had been using my OLD pair of comfortable shoes) so I decided it was time to replace those. These shoes were a nice surprise. They are a bit heavier than my old sneakers but the sole and insole offer great support. It was a bonus that they are waterproof as I work in a lab. That said, I thought this would create sweaty feet. This has not been the case at all. My feet do stay comfortably warm and I'm not sure how hot they will get in the summer. But right now they are great. I have not needed to put in my insoles and my back pain has decreased!! Also, I love the colors used. I do not like white in my shoes and it's been difficult to find some with good support. These Clark wave trek shoes has been a great find!
Shopped all day in this shoe & loved its complete comfort! My heels do not hurt. It's a great walking shoe as well. Will be a favorite & will be purchasing more.

Finally, a B-complex I can hopefully tolerate. I am allergic to so many things, and that includes many supplements (or the fillers they use in them). I like the fact that Thorne make so many different B complexes - I am also trying the #5. It's early days so I can't vouch for their long-term effects, and I am being very cautious (not taking daily), but I have had no adverse reactions yet...
I like it

Definitely feel it has helped with overall feeling of well being as I have a very high stress environment. However feel that I need more time taking the supplement to know whether it is doing what it needs to do.
Feels good. Notice I can ubsorb the folinic acid
Posted by Reviewer1452756 on May 02, 2015
B-complex pills would always make me a bit nervous, hyperactive and anxious. Untill I found out that was because they usually have pholic acid in them. I don't absorb that well, and then the B12 starts domineering, costing me pholic acid. This B-complex seems balanced for me and I don't experience the nervousness.

Monday, January 7, 2013 -- Today marks the five-year anniversary of the great Flood of 2008 that devastated Pontiac and Watseka.
I remember it well. I traveled to Saunemin for some meetings in the early evening. While sitting in Saunemin, the storms rolled in. I turned to my city administrator and said we might been to take off early to get back to Pontiac to make sure we are not late for the city council meeting that evening. Since he and I drove separately, he left first and I followed a few minutes later.
Driving back to Pontiac was one of the hardest drives I've experienced. The storm was so intense that I couldn't even see the road. I crawled at around 15 MPH at best, doing everything I could to find the lines on the road. If it wasn't for my GPS, I wouldn't have had any clue where I was during the trip back to Pontiac.
It rained and rained. The lights flickered during the meeting. We went as quickly as possible to get the meeting in before completely losing power. Then I went home.
The next morning we knew we were going to have a problem. The National Weather Service was predicting major flooding in Pontiac. The massive amounts of rain that fell east of Pontiac were headed our way. The ground was still frozen, and the several inches of snow we already had were melted by the warmer temperatures and rain. It was the melting snow, plus the major rainfall, running along a frozen ground with no where to go – except through the middle of Pontiac.
The Vermilion River was already pretty full. It was the prefect situation. Even if the rain would have fallen on top of Pontiac, we would have been in much better shape. But if fell between us and Indiana, and all of that water was going to run-off to the streams, then to the rivers -- and Pontiac was in its path.
Pontiac was being taken over from the inside-out as the flood waters began to rise from the river that runs through the center of town. At the same time, Watseka, Illinois was dealing with the same storm event, but it was taking them over from the outside-in. Watseka sits at the junction where a major stream meets their river. The water was rising both the north and south edges of town of that smaller community.
As we met to discuss and plan an hour-by-hour action plan, the water kept rising. We installed a measuring stick to a tree to measure the water, because the National Weather Service equipment was flooded over. Residents and city workers worked like crazy to protect as much as possible.
A few of us took a plane up to access the damage from the air. I couldn't believe what I saw. Everything was flooded. Rivers, streams, roads, farm land... everything. In areas east of town, there was more water than dry land. It almost didn't seem real.
After returning to the Pontiac airport, I was driving to city hall when I came across rushing water on the north side of town. The water was quickly taking over the streets. It was like a major water main break, and I wasn't anywhere near the river. I hurried back to city hall and we sent crews out to block those streets and monitor the water in those areas.
The night the water crested was one of the longest nights of my life. Overnight, I met with department heads every few hours at city hall. I'm told someone snapped a photo of me sleeping on my office floor as I tried to get a few minutes of rest. The police and fire departments continued rescues throughout the evening and night. Some of our police and fire personnel had their own homes flooded, but they reported to work anyway. Each department provided updated information throughout the night, as we reaccessed our strategy and took action.
The water seemed to recede fairly quickly. I remember standing in a flooded street watching massive amounts of water run down the storm system in the dark early morning.
Once residents were able to get back into their homes, the cleanup process started. I must have visited hundreds of homes. I saw the destruction and loss first hand. Piles of ruined personal belongings were being hauled out to the road and tossed in piles. Family photos, keepsakes, and the entire contents of childrens rooms were dumped at the street.
Residents were working like busy bees hauling stuff out of their water damaged homes – yet, while seemingly in a daze. No question some were in shock over what happened, and over the work ahead.
I took photos of the piles of garbage for the record. Most of the appliances were gone as soon as they were brought outside. Trucks cruised the neighborhoods looking for metal to recycle. While residents were trying to save what was left of their homes, vultures were taking advantage.
But I also found many who were coming to the aid of those affected. Businesses, even those from other towns around Central Illinois, came to Pontiac and donated their time and equipment. They pumped basements, pressure washed homes, and provided much needed labor for those who needed to empty their house contents or rip out the interior walls.
Others came with blankets, soap, mops, food, clothing, baby food, bedding, and everything else. The American Red Cross of the Heartland arrived with dozens of volunteers to distribute food, clothing, cleanup kits, and provide temporary housing. The OSF medical system provided medical assistance, including a mobile hospital. And thousands of individuals come on their own and gave of themselves, for those they didn't even know.
Our community came together. Other communities also came to our aid. It was a massive operation of people helping people, unlike anything I've ever witnessed in my life.
There are a lot of untold stories. There are a lot of people who deserve metals and recognition that never received it. There are people we'll never know about, who did good things without ever being noticed or acknowledged. I wish I could shake each of their hands, give them a hug, and thank each one of them.
To me, the flood isn't the story. The story is what happened after the flood. The story is about the individuals who were part of the an emergency agency, church organization, medical team, youth group, the city, and even those who got up on their own and went out to help someone recover from the worst natural disaster we've ever seen.
Five years ago, a situation that seemed unfathomable happened to us. Every year since, I remember all of the good that came from such a horrible situation. I remember everyone who was affected and everyone who helped.
It's been five years. Hard to believe. Seems like yesterday to me.
My home may not have been affected by the flood, but my life sure was...

I'm a noob and have read through most of the oolong posts looking for information about how to brew the Spring hand-harvested, medium-high roasted, Hou De Shui Xiang tea I just purchased that looks like small balls. After reading through most of the threads it's become apparent that 'regular' Shui Xiang is brewed differently than rolled high mountain Taiwan tea. My first question is- what takes precedence in brewing? Shape (balled) or variety (Shui Xiang)?
Please forgive me for asking so many questions but I've really tried to do my homework and feel it's time to call in the the experts
Here we go:
What percentage of the teapot gets filled with the dry little balls, which appear to be somewhat loosely rolled? I've read that with some balled teas it's enough to cover the bottom with 1 or 2 layers, but when I do that it fills only about 2/3 of the teapot after the wet leaves have expanded. Is this as it should be? I assume this is a "good" quality tea, and I read that the better the tea the less you use.
Do you crumble any of the little balls? With "regular" Shui Xiang tea some people crumble some of the leaves and then sandwich them between larger leaves.
Is rolling boil or string of pearls water used with every infusion? It appears that some people don't bring the water to a full boil with every infusion and others do.
How about the rinse time? For "regular Shui Xiang" most people use a flash rinse. For balled teas people seem to use a 10-30 second rinse.
As far as brewing times- some people use short times 5-5-10-20-1 minute; other people use a much longer 1st brew (30 seconds) and longer brewing times all together- 60-60-90-120. I've also noticed alternating timing 30"-1'-30"-1'-30"-1'-30"-1'
What I found, in my own experiments is:
1) when I use 2 layers of tea the wet leaves only fill 2/3 of the teapot. Perhaps I need more tea?
2) when I used quick brews- 20-10-15-30-1 minute-1-1 the tea was weaker than I would like it to be
3) when I added some crushed leaves the tea had more flavor
4) When I used longer times 30-30-30- 70-70-70-90-2 minutes the tea had more flavor and wasn't bitter. But the flavors didn't seem very complex or layered to me, nor did they change much between brews.
I realize that I have to keep trying but some advice born of experience would be very much appreciated. The tea was somewhat expensive and, like everyone else, I'm loathe to waste it in my fumbling around.
Many thanks to everyone for the time and effort you've all put into this blog, making it such a rich source of information and inspiration. I've learned so much and I know that as my experience grows, so too will my appreciation of the massive amount of knowledge contained in these pages. I recognize that I've only begun to tap its riches.
Thank you!

OK drunks may pay for Ellensburg ambulance calls
ELLENSBURG, Wash. - About half the 911 calls for an ambulance for an alcohol or drug overdose in the Ellensburg area result in no one going to a hospital. And Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue doesn't get paid.
The fire district depends on ambulance fees for 70 percent of its emergency medical services budget.
The Daily Record reports the district is proposing a $250 fee when an ambulance is called to a drug or alcohol situation in which no one is transported.
Deputy Chief Rich Elliott says a good share of the no-transport calls come from Central Washington University and law enforcement. He says the department may work with the university and police to make better decisions about when to call an ambulance.

Lew, 58, the former Chief of Staff to President Obama, has been Treasury Secretary since early 2013.

Our opinion: What we should do
There's no way to avoid pain in addressing Pennsylvania's pension crisis, so Gov. Tom Corbett should push for big changes to protect taxpayers in the future.
And to get him moving, Pennsylvanians need to keep the pressure on him and legislators.
Pennsylvania's State Employees' Retirement System and Public School Employees' Retirement System are underfunded by $41 billion based on current regulations, which will require increasingly higher taxpayer contributions for the coming decades to fix.
Some of that we will have to pay. Taxpayers are legally responsible to pay the pensions that have been earned.
But the state can lighten its burden by changing the system for pension benefits that have not yet been earned.
The state's pension systems are defined benefit. Based on years of service, average final salary and a multiplier, recipients are guaranteed to get a certain amount. If investment income isn't enough to cover the cost, the employer must pick up the tab.
These types of pension plans are largely vanishing from the private sector and are being replaced by defined contribution plans. In these plans, the amount being contributed into the plan is fixed, and the retirement benefit varies based on the return on investment.
Pennsylvania should make that change at least for future employees and potentially for current employees after a certain date. Workers won't like the change, but it's the fairest system for taxpayers.
Judges should be subject to the same changes, as should legislators, if members of the General Assembly remain a part of the pension system.
If senators and representatives are wary of taking the heat for such a change, draft it so it becomes a public referendum and allow the voters of Pennsylvania to decide. We think most would favor the switch.
And if the Legislature and governor approve the changes, and state courts block them, then voters will know what they need to do at the next retention elections.
Retirement age and the contributions of both employee and employers will have to be determined with an eye toward fairness to all. We don't want to see an influx of poverty-stricken retirees, but we don't want to see taxpayers being sent to the poor house because of the cost of providing state pensions.
In addition, employer contributions should be set by statute and only changed with a two-thirds vote of both chambers of the General Assembly.
That can avoid legislators reducing contributions to free up money for other things.
When times are flush, the continued contributions by employees and employers will build a surplus that can be used during the next economic downturn when we hope to avoid additional pain for retirees or taxpayers.
The Keystone State needs a big change, and we call on the governor to lead the charge for overhauling the pension systems with an eye to provide fairness and stability for all.
With the vocal support of Pennsylvanians, it can be accomplished.

Residence Hall Information
Residence Requirement
A traditional student is expected to live in a College residence hall if she is registered for twelve or more hours of academic credit unless she is officially designated as a commuting student. Official designation of commuter is made by the Dean of Student Affairs. A student will be eligible for consideration as a commuting student if she lives within a 60-mile radius of the College and is currently residing with her parent(s), legal guardian or spouse. A student who has completed six semesters of college work elsewhere as a full-time student in good standing, or a sophomore, junior, or senior class student also will be eligible for consideration as a commuting student. A student is also eligible for commuter status if she is designated as "independent" for financial purposes. Emergency housing in cases of inclement weather conditions also may be available to students, subject to space availability.
Meal Plan
Campus residency requires that a student have a meal plan. All new students must purchase the 19 meal plan. After the first year, students have the option of choosing the 19 meal plan, the 190 meal block plan or the 150 meal block plan. Each plan provides students with $50 in Flex Dollars. The 19 meal plan is available to all students and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, Monday through Friday, and brunch and dinner on the weekends. All first year students and new transfer students are required to participate in the 19meal plan. The 190meal block plan and the 150 meal block plan offer students greater flexibility in how many meals they choose to eat each week, plus it offers the option to use a meal from their plan to pay for an invited guest. The block plans allow students to use meals in any given meal period in all dining locations. During the last two weeks of the semester, students may use no more than four meals during any given meal period. The residence and dining halls are closed for winter vacation between semesters. During all breaks there is limited food service available through the Bistro, but it is not included in any of the meal plans.
