Hello--Am a total "newbie" on this website, and, what's more, NOT a beekeeper ( -- just a life-time avid consumer and user of raw honey (mostly in tea, but also in cooking and baking)... Therefore, please forgive my great lack of knowledge on anything having to do with beekeeping .
I came upon this website upon my attempt, yesterday, to find an online reference that would tell me the source of the following problem--and am hoping someone here can clarify the problem .
Trying to support our local economy/farmers/beekeepers/etc., I bought a large jar of raw honey from a local beekeeper yesterday. (He evidently has been doing this for a few years and had all his certificates or licenses displayed.) When I got home and tasted the honey, it shocked me, because the honey had a "bite" to it. The only thing I could associate the background taste with was---lighter fluid! I researched a bit online, and found a reference saying that when one is smoking out a hive (hope that is the correct way of phrasing it), one should never use lighter fluid or butane.
Can that be the reason why the honey has that odd, very unpleasant taste? I would feel awkward going back to the gentleman and claiming this, if I can't be sure--(and even then, I still will feel awkward...)
Also, the honey is opaque (not creamy), although it isn't cold and doesn't have any cappings, etc. in it. The raw honey I typically buy in stores (organic, mostly) is usually pretty "clear." Is the opaqueness normal (no filtering), or is that also something to be concerned about?
Sorry for sounding like such a novice and so uninformed, even though I've been having honey for years! Thank you very much in advance for anyone's expert opinion, here ! I hope to be back and learn some more! This is a neat site!

Rob Flannagan is to step down as managing director of Tower following the completion of the listed insurer's strategic review and sale of its health and investment units.
Flannagan will work out the 12 months of his notice, the company said in a statement. He has led Tower for seven years.
"Tower now has a refreshed board with a clear direction of where it wishes Tower to be in the future," he said. "It is time to step aside to allow a new leader to guide the company in its preferred direction."
Tower embarked on a review of what were then its four operating units in 2010 on the basis that its share price didn't reflect the value of the underlying businesses.
Fisher Funds acquired Tower Investments for $79 million last month to add to its KiwiSaver pool in a deal backed by new shareholder TSB Bank.
It sold its medical insurance unit to Australia's nib in November for $102 million and plans to return $120 million to shareholders.
Tower shares rose 0.5 percent to $1.88 and have declined 3 percent this year. It is rated 'hold' based on the consensus in a Reuters survey of four analysts, with a median price target of $2.


text: I don't know if I used the correct term or not, but when a commercial beek drops off their hives for a growing season, do they expect or factor in a certain amount of hive losses? I heard it can be up to 50%? If that is the case, how often are the hives checked to see if they had absconded and if they have, do they replace with splits?

TLOU Movie - Dream cast[ Edited ]
I know the game has not even come out yet, and we only know about a few characters from the trailers Naughty Dog has given us, but this day and age, it's never too early to start planning for the movie.
So, I thought I would post my "dream cast" for a TLOU flick, based off what we've seen so far.
James Brolin as Joel
Okay, complete fantasy, since James is much older looking now. But, I think his son Josh could do a great job. Just give him some make-up / thicker facial hair. Both have proven to be great dramatic / action actors. Plus, the deep voice to go with it.
Ellen Page as Ellie
I know i'm not the only one who saw the resemblance between the "old" Ellie model and actress Ellen Page.
She has the attitude, height, and looks for a perfect Ellie. Sure, the actress has gotten older, but movie magic could make her look younger.
Annie Wersching as Tess
No brainer. She did the motion capture AND voice work for Tess. You may recognize her from the show "24" or many of the other TV Shows / Movies she has appeared in.
W. Earl Brown as Bill
Same with Annie to Tess, Mr. Brown here did the motion capture / voice for Bill. You may recognize him from "Scream", "Deadwood", "Justified", or one of the many other supporting roles he has had through out his career.
(P.S. I apologize if someone has already created a thread like this. I searched, but nothing popped up except the Uncharted movie cast thread.)
"You must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared."
Re: TLOU Movie - Dream cast
I would say for me,
Joel: Gerard Butler or Ben Affleck(Argo, looks similar)
Ellie: Ellen page or even Ashley Johnson with shorter hair.
Not too sure about anyone else though. It's always better if they can get the performance actors to do it. Have Blur Studio and Naughty Dog team up. That'd be one hell of a fine movie. I would prefer a tv series, they tend to last longer and you can flesh out the characters more.
Re: TLOU Movie - Dream cast
If i get to cast the TLOU movie this will be the line up
Tom Hanks (or ray liotta or Christian Bale lol) - Joel
Chloe Moretz - Ellie (don't look alike but Ellie has that Hit Girl attitude in her)
Gwyneth Paltrow/ Halle Berry - Tess
I have no idea who should be bill. I have only seen one trailer with him on it.
Re: TLOU Movie - Dream cast
Alyson Hannigan for Ellie
Mellisa Mcarthy for Tess
Ben Kingsley (aka not the real Mandarin) for Bill

Meh. If those guys were cast no one would watch the movie. Well, maybe Wersching could draw an audience. They wouldn't be there for the movie though, just her **bleep**.

This information does not assure that this product is safe, effective, or appropriate for you. This information is not individual medical advice and does not substitute for the advice of your health care professional. Always ask your health care professional for complete information about this product and your specific health needs.
(IN-sue-lin LISS-pro PRO-tah-meen(NPL)/IN-sue-lin LISS-pro)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Humalog Mix
USES: Insulin lispro protamine/insulin lispro is used along with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar. It is used in people with type 1 (insulin-dependent) or type 2 diabetes. This product is a combination of two man-made insulins: intermediate-acting insulin lispro protamine and rapid-acting insulin lispro. This combination starts working faster and lasts for a longer time than regular insulin.
Insulin is a natural substance that allows the body to properly use sugar from the diet. It replaces the insulin that your body no longer produces, thereby lowering your blood sugar. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
HOW TO USE: Read the patient information leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Follow all package directions for proper use/injection/storage of the particular type of device/insulin you are using. Your health care professional will teach you how to properly inject this medication. If any of the information is unclear, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Do not inject cold insulin because this can be painful. The insulin container you are currently using can be kept at room temperature (see also Storage section). Wash your hands before measuring and injecting insulin. Check the product visually for particles, thickening, or clumps before rolling and turning the container. If any are present, discard that container.
To avoid damaging the insulin, do not shake the container. Gently roll and turn it between your palms at least 10 times. If using a cartridge or prefilled syringe, turn it upside down so that the glass ball moves from one end to the other. Gently mix the insulin until it appears evenly white and cloudy. If it does not appear this way, discard it.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Measure each dose carefully, and use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Even small changes in the amount of insulin may have a large effect on your blood sugar levels.
Before injecting each dose, make sure the injection site is clean and dry. Inject this medication under the skin of the abdomen, upper arms, or thighs, usually twice daily, 15 minutes or less before the morning and evening meal or as directed by your doctor. Do not inject into a vein or muscle. Eat promptly after taking this insulin to avoid low blood sugar (see also Side Effects section). Change the location of the injection site daily and do not reuse the same site for two weeks to avoid problem areas under the skin.
Do not mix this product with other insulins or use it in an insulin pump.
Use this medication regularly as directed by your doctor in order to get the most benefit from it. Carefully follow the insulin treatment plan, meal plan, and exercise program your doctor has recommended. Monitor your blood sugar on a regular basis. Keep track of the results, and share them with your doctor. This is very important in order to determine the correct insulin dose.
If you are measuring doses from vials, do not reuse needles and syringes. If you are using the cartridges or pens, use a new needle each time. Do not share your pen device with another person, even if the needle is changed. You may give other people a serious infection, or get a serious infection from them. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens (your blood sugar levels are too high or too low).

Karrueche Tran and Rihanna are in an eternal love triangle with Chris Brown, and they're ALWAYS competing for his attention. Thanks to a provocative new spread, Karrueche is pulling a Rihanna by trying to distract Chris with her sexy topless body!
Karrueche, 24, appears on the new cover of Rolling Out magazine, and she looks amazing in this topless spread. Naturally, the shoot made us think of another oft-topless superstar: Rihanna, also 24!
In the interview that accompanied the provocative spread, Karrueche admits that her time with Chris, 23, is not always picture perfect.
"Honestly, all I want is happiness," she says. "There was a lot of dysfunction and negativity [with him]. I just want to be happy. I have so much fun and I'm a better person when I'm happy. That's all I want in 2013. Everything else will fall in place."
She also revealed how she manages to deal with all of the drama that comes with being a celebrity in her own right.
"It was very hard," she said. "I try my best to just ignore the negativity. Which is hard for me because it's a lot to deal with. But I try to keep a positive mind and stay strong and not put energy into it."
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — which of Chris' sexy women do YOU think is more tempting while naked?

Turkey Almond Salad RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
Our congregation was holding a luncheon at which I was helping, and we were supposed to use turkey left over from the church's Thanksgiving supper. I thought back to a salad I had tasted years before, then tried to come up with something similar. Everyone liked it so much that—at another church luncheon—we cooked a turkey for the specific purpose of making my salad. There was only one problem with this salad—as usual, I just created it as I was going along. When the other ladies asked me for the recipe. I had to scramble to put something on paper! At home, I make this whenever we have leftover turkey (it's also good with chicken). My husband and I have four grown daughters and seven grandchildren. We're grain and beef farmers.
Recommended: Healthy Main Dish Salad Recipes
- 3 cups cubed cooked turkey
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 3/4 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup sliced green onion

A Whirlwind of Wonder in Wistful Winchester

- 15% Spa Discount
- 15% Dining Discount at The Dancing Goat Restaurant and Half Note Lounge
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Six Nights
The Destination
Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee apparently found the town of Winchester, Virginia, worth fighting for—the historic hamlet changed hands a total of 72 times during the Civil War. In addition to a strategic position in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, the town has always been blessed with stunning geography—rolling hills, shady tree-lined streets, and an abundance of apple blossoms lend a picturesque backdrop to Winchester's must-see museums, 18th-century homes, and Old Town boutiques.
The Digs
Built at the height of the Jazz Age and located just an hour and fifteen minutes from Washington, DC, the 89-year-old George Washington hotel recently underwent a $30 million renovation to restore its soaring ceilings, Tennessee-marble floors, and Roman-style indoor swimming pool to their former opulence. Modern amenities include, free high-speed Internet, flat-screen TV's, in-room Wolfgang Puck Coffee, and room service. The hotel's Dancing Goat Restaurant draws guests and locals alike with its organic ingredients from local farms, while the on-site Saumaj Spa works wonders after a day walking through Old Town. The convenient location places the town's top shops and museums within walking distance.
The Diversions
• Loudoun Street
• Stonewall Jackson Headquarters
• Shenandoah National Park
• Virginia National Golf Club
"We had a wonderful stay... We had never been before, but will make sure to do so again and recommend [the hotel] to our friends. Hospitality was great, the food was fantastic, and the bed was very comfortable."-- Hotels.com

Reviews of this property
Die Wohnung war sauber und wie wir sie uns vorgestellet hatten. Besonders gefallen hat uns die sehr guter Lage- sowohl zum Strand als in die Stadt braucht man zu Fuß nur wenige Minuten.Unser Auto konnten wir direkt vor dem Haus parken. Rovinj ist einfach wunderschön und wir würden gerne wieder einmal dorthin fahren. Die Wohnung ist ganz gut ausgestattet, auch wenn man mit den zwei Herdplatten keine großen Koch-Sprünge machen kann. Sowohl vor dem Haus als nhinter dem Haus gibt es einen Tisch, an dem man essen kann, was wir besonder schön fanden. Es war ruhig und die Vermietrein empfing uns herzlich.
Gute Lage nahe der Stadt Rovinj. Vom Meer weiter entfernt als angegeben. Für Personen mit Haustieren sehr gut geignet. Wenn sie keine Hunde mögen, dann ungeeignet. Parkplatz am Grund sehr gut. Fahrradverleih im Nahbereich.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)

Movie Review: Looper
Mostly avoiding the trip-wires of illogic that tend to plague the gobbledygook of time travel, Looper, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt is finally in theaters.
Director: Rian Johnson Rating: R Studio: FilmDistrict
This writer-director Rian Johnson is one clever guy. His work also demands to be paid attention to and listened to because he's got a highly idiosyncratic voice. Best known for the tough-talking, stylized high school noir Brick, Johnson now takes on that seductive sci-fi and fantasy plot device, time travel, in the strong, exciting head-scratcher Looper.
Mostly avoiding the trip-wires of illogic that tend to plague the gobbledygook of time travel, Johnson dodges the bullet by veering away from plot twists and special effects and instead focusing on relationships, character and emotions. Told you this guy is clever.
Looper stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt and is set in 2044, a crime-ridden world of mob bosses, junkies, sleazy dive bars, haves and have-nots, in which surveillance devices are as plentiful as drugs and time travel is 30 years off but already banned by the government. Well-paid assassins known as "loopers" stalk the mean streets waiting for their targets to be sent back in time so that they can blast them to smithereens. But the loopers also have pull dates, and they know it. It's all a matter of time. So when the 60-year-old Willis gets hurled back in time hog-tied and covered in a hood, it's to face Gordon-Levitt, his shifty, thuggish younger self who awaits him in a cornfield with a blunderbuss and a vintage pocket watch. But things go awry, Willis gives Gordon-Levitt the slip and the chase is on, making way for nifty action set pieces and very nice acting cameos for Jeff Daniels, Piper Perabo and Paul Dano, among others.
The ever-watchable, flinty Gordon-Levitt, who also starred in Brick, is just right here, even handicapped by odd makeup that doesn't make him resemble Willis so much as Henry Silva or a nipped and tucked Burt Reynolds. He's especially good in his scenes with an also on-point Blunt, who plays the mom of a scary five-year-old son (terrific work from Pierce Gagnon) with whom our hero hides out on a remote farm. Willis, too, is right up in Gordon-Levitt's grill with a savvy, compelling performance. They make excellent Freudian sparring partners. Looper is good, smart, stimulating, pulse-racing fun.

text: Today my 18 month old grabbed my keys. He likes to hit the panic button and hear the truck honk in the garage. I quickly took them away and put them out of his reach. Well, after 4 1/2 hours of searching I still can not locate them. Luckily I had a copy made as the truck only came with one key when I bought it. I am having remote start installed on Tuesday so I am not concerned about the key fob.(plus, I have eight of them laying around anyway). There are not any important keys on the ring other than house keys and we have copies of those. I know they are somewhere in the house. Guess I will be having another copy made in the morning. I will share where I find them (if I ever do). I will ask him in the morning, he probably climbed up where I put them and stuck them somewhere else. I figured that you guys probably have some pretty funny stories about misplacing your keys. Whether it be at home like me or out in the middle of no where. Please share your story. One time I lost the key to my sonoma. I could not find it for months. Spring rolled around and I took the dog for a walk. I found the key laying on the ground where I had piled the snow from the driveway all winter. It was there for more than 3 months and did not have any rust on it.

Michael Boley - Seems that Coughlin and crew are done with him judging by the way he was handled at the end of this season. My magic 8 ball says he's a goner.
David Diehl - Cut. Take the cap hit and sign him for vet minimum. He's a mope but will suffice as depth. Nobody else would have this mope.
Will Beatty - Giants will try to get him on a reasonable deal. He's not exactly God's gift of Left Tackle like he is sometimes painted on these boards. above average, but often injured. Promising enough to get a better deal from another team.
Kenny Phillips - Agree that he might be offered a T2 kind of deal from the Giants as someone mentioned. He is above average, but often injured. Will he get a huge deal from other teams?
Marty Bennett - I love a guy who is vocal about his commitment to the Giants. I hope he is re-signed. 3 million per year is more than reasonable for Bennett.
Keith Rivers - Agree with PT, we have to take another chance on this guy. Should come cheap anyways.
Tynes - He will be missed but Traina is probably spot on.
I follow Patricia Traina on Twitter, she definitely knows her stuff.
Good Read.

For Long Island, New York, there is one possible bright spot emerging in the wake of Hurricane Sandy's whirling devastation last October: a new breach has opened up on Fire Island, the narrow barrier island that hovers protectively a few miles off the coast of Long Island's southern shore.
The once-contiguous stretch of beach at Otis Pike High Dune Wilderness at Fire Island National Seashore is now split by a 400-foot-wide channel that is being called "Old Inlet" because it occurs at the same site as a previous breach that closed in the early 1800′s.
The result?
A potential improvement to the beleaguered health of the Great South Bay, the amniotic sac that sits between the mainland and the barrier beach and was declared an "impaired water body" by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 2010 — as long as the government leaves the breach open, instead of closing it as currently recommended and supported by New York State Senator Chuck Schumer.
The fresh exchange of clean water from the Atlantic Ocean into the bay that the "Old Inlet" breach provides could reduce the brown and red tides that chronically plague the region, devastating the local shellfish industry and often closing beaches to recreation.
These brown and red tides are a by-product of Long Island's high population density (between 1,600 – 4,700 people per square mile) as well as its' half a million septic tanks. Prior to the opening of the breach at Old Inlet, the Great South Bay was flushing itself of toxins only once every 100 days. With this new infusion of water from the Atlantic Ocean, however, that period has been greatly reduced, with estimates from the Save the Great South Bay organization putting the current flush-rate closer to once every 40 days.
An improved flush-rate complements some of the "soft infrastructure investments" suggested by NYS 2100, a new commission formed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo that is charged with figuring out how New York should adapt in the long term to worsening storms and continued population growth. Turning some of the state's industrial shoreline back into shellfish beds, wetlands, and tidal salt marshes that can filter the bay and absorb some of the force of incoming storms could protect the region moving forward. A cleaner, healthier bay will in turn protect the shellfish and wetlands.
Because of this, rather than immediate closure by the Army Corps of Engineers (as has been accepted practice), the commission's report supports a pragmatic approach to the Old Inlet, saying:
The State should monitor the impact of the Fire Island Wilderness breach on the barrier island, the bay, and the mainland to determine whether or not to close that breach in the near future. Limited monitoring to date suggests that the inlet is stable or closing slightly. This has resulted in improved water quality in Great South Bay and created a platform for new eelgrass and wetland growth, which may actually reduce flooding in certain cases (i.e., when winds blow from the west).

text: I have recently purchased a 1998 Chevy Suburban. Only a few days into owning it and am liking it a lot so far. As any older car, it has its problems and I'm doing what I can to get them taken care. I have to figure out which can be fixed now, which can be fixed later and which can be overlooked all together. Hopefully, I can find most all answers here. Hope all have a great year and happy Chevy'ing.

When I brought it home and transferred the frames into my hive I didn't see much for capped brood, but I did it quickly without spending too much time to study the frames so I wouldn't upset the bees. A week later I opened the hive and again no brood, but I thought well maybe there's eggs and I just can't see them - I'll give them a chance. Went in again last night and no capped brood-I have also looked for the queen and cannot see one. Now maybe it is my fault for not inspecting the nuc when I picked it up but I thought I should be able to trust the supplier. Has anybody had this happen? I'm upset because the whole point of getting a nuc was to get all stages of brood to give the hive a head start as opposed to a package. Do I have any recourse? Sorry for being so wordy.

Under the skin, numbering systems are all alike. Numerals in various bases may well look different, but the numbers they represent are the same. In decimal notation, the numeral 19 is shorthand for this expression:
1 x 101 + 9 x 100.
Likewise the binary numeral 10011 is understood to mean:
1 x 24 + 0 x 23 + 0 x 22 + 1 x 21 + 1 x 20,
which adds up to the same value. So does the ternary version, 201:
2 x 32 + 0 x 31 + 1 x 30.
The general formula for a numeral in any positional notation goes something like this:
... d3r3 + dsrs + d1r1 + d0r0 ....
Here r is the base, or radix, and the coefficients di are the digits of the number. Usually, r is a positive integer and the digits are integers in the range from 0 to r–1, but neither of these restrictions is strictly necessary. (You can build perfectly good numbers on a negative or an irrational base, and below we'll meet numbers with negative digits.)
To say that all bases represent the same numbers, however, is not to say that all numeric representations are equally good for all purposes. Base 10 is famously well suited to those of us who count on our fingers. Base 2 dominates computing technology because binary devices are simple and reliable, with just two stable states—on or off, full or empty. Computer circuitry also exploits a coincidence between binary arithmetic and binary logic: The same signal can represent either a numeric value (1 or 0) or a logical value (true or false).
The cultural preference for base 10 and the engineering advantages of base 2 have nothing to do with any intrinsic properties of the decimal and binary numbering systems. Base 3, on the other hand, does have a genuine mathematical distinction in its favor. By one plausible measure, it is the most efficient of all integer bases; it offers the most economical way of representing numbers.
How do you measure the cost of a numeric representation? If you simply count digits, then the biggest base will always win; for example, base 1,000,000 can represent any number between 0 and decimal 999,999 in a single digit. The trouble is, that single digit can be any of a million different symbols, all of which you must somehow recognize. At the opposite pole are unary, or base-1, numbers. The unary representation of decimal 1,000,000 needs only one type of symbol, but that symbol is repeated a million times. (Unary notation is in a category apart from other bases—it's not really a positional number system—but in the present context it serves as a useful limiting case.)
Among all possible ways of writing the numbers up to a million, neither base 1,000,000 nor base 1 seems ideal; as a matter of fact, you could hardly do worse than either of these choices. Minimizing the number of digits causes an explosion in the alphabet of symbols, and vice versa; when you squish down one factor, the other squirts out. Evidently we need to optimize some joint measure of a number's width (how many digits it has) and its depth (how many different symbols can occupy each digit position). An obvious strategy is to minimize the product of these two quantities. In other words, if r is the radix and w is the width in digits, we want to minimize rw while holding rw constant.
Curiously, this problem is easier to solve if r and w are treated as continuous rather than integer variables—that is, if we allow a fractional base and a fractional number of digits. Then it turns out (see Figure 1) that the optimum radix is e, the base of the natural logarithms, with a numerical value of about 2.718. Because 3 is the integer closest to e, it is almost always the most economical integer radix (see Figure 2).
Consider again the task of representing all numbers from 0 through decimal 999,999. In base 10 this obviously requires a width of six digits, so that rw = 60. Binary does better: 20 binary digits suffice to cover the same range of numbers, for rw = 40. But ternary is better still: The ternary representation has a width of 13 digits, so that rw = 39. (If base e were a practical choice, the width would be 14 digits, yielding rw=38.056.)

This fact sheet is intended to provide a general summary and not legal advice. Specific legal authority concerning state utility withdrawal proceedings can be found in the Indiana Code (IC 8-1-1 et. seq.).
While the rates and charges of most investor-owned utilities (such as NIPSCO, Vectren, etc.) in Indiana are approved at the state level, those decisions for most municipal utilities are made at the local government level.
487 water, electric and natural gas utilities are owned and operated by city and town governments in Indiana. 449 of these utilities (92 percent) have withdrawn from Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) jurisdiction over their rates, charges and finances as allowed by state law.
Indiana Municipal Utilities
Natural Gas
Under IURC Jurisdiction
To withdraw from IURC jurisdiction, municipal utilities must follow specific processes provided by state law.
A municipal utility seeking to withdraw from IURC jurisdiction may do so either by a vote of the city or town council, or by a public vote in a city or town election.
When a city or town council considers an ordinance that would remove the utility from IURC jurisdiction in most cases, it must mail a written notice of the meeting to all of the utility's ratepayers and to the IURC at least 30 days before the meeting.
In addition, a second class city (defined by law as a city with between 35,000 and 599,999 residents) must hold at least 2 public meetings before the council's final vote on the ordinance. The meetings must be held at different locations and must include an explanation of the withdrawal process.
An ordinance withdrawing a municipal utility from IURC jurisdiction takes effect 60 days after the council approves it, unless the council receives a petition within that 60-day period. Consumers who consider drafting and circulating such a petition are strongly urged to review the Indiana Code sections that apply (IC 8-1.5-3-9 and IC 8-1.5-3-9.1).
Q: When a utility is withdrawn from IURC jurisdiction, does that mean its rates are no longer regulated?
A: No. However it does mean that all rate regulation occurs at the local level. For a municipal utility outside IURC jurisdiction, the regulatory body is the city or town council.
Q: Does the OUCC advocate for or against proposed withdrawals?
A: No. The OUCC recognizes that these are local decisions to be made by local governments and/or voters.
Q: If I'm dissatisfied with a municipal utility's rates, have discussed my concerns with locally elected officials, and the utility is not under IURC jurisdiction, what can I do?
A: In most cases, a circuit or superior court at the county level is the proper venue. The general common law standard is that rates must be "nondiscriminatory, reasonable and just." Consumers who wish to challenge utility rates in court are urged to first consult with private legal counsel.
Q: Can a utility be returned to IURC jurisdiction after it is withdrawn?
A: Yes. The same statutes that create the process for "opting out" also include processes for "opting in." See Indiana Code 8-1.5-3-9.5 and 8-1.5-3-9.6.
Q: If a municipal water utility withdraws from IURC jurisdiction, does that change the environmental standards with which it must comply?
A: No. Water and sewer utilities must comply with regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and other agencies regardless whether their rates are under IURC jurisdiction.
For more information, including the advantages and disadvantages of utility withdrawal, please visit www.in.gov/oucc/2367.htm.

No Superbowl for South Florida
South Florida won't be hosting a Superbowl for at least the next five years.
NFL owners this week eliminated Sunlife Stadium from the competition to host the 52nd Superbowl in 2018. Miami also lost out on other recent attempts to bid for a chance to host the big game.
The reason is believed to be the lack of a plan to renovate the stadium where the Dolphins play. It was built back in 1987 and is already considered to be one of the oldest venues in the league. Ten Superbowls have been played in South Florida, but without a canopy roof to protect fans from rain, it appears the NFL just won't budge on any future games.
State lawmakers declined to consider a bill during the last session that could have led to the taxpayers covering half of the $350 million in renovations.
The Palm Beach Post reports the Miami Marlins ballpark, plagued by low attendance, may be hurting Sunlife's chances...it was largely paid for with tax dollars.
Minneapolis, Indianapolis and New Orleans are the finalists for the 2018 Superbowl.

Mobilising the guns at Fort Nelson - Tuesday, 5 July 2011
A highly skilled operation to move some of the most famous big guns in history into the spectacular new glass-sided gallery at Fort Nelson started today (4 July 2011).
Britain's oldest museum, the Royal Armouries, has contracted international engineers Beck & Pollitzer to carry out the removal work as part of a £3.5m revamp, part funded by a grant of more than £2m from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
Beck & Pollitzer are moving the first exhibits – two anti-aircraft guns – into the new gallery, The Voice of the Guns, at Fort Nelson, near Portsmouth. A further 12 guns will now be moved into position during the next two weeks, paving the way for the museum relaunch on August 6.
Sean Mannie, Head of Royal Armouries South, said, "It's particularly fitting that we're starting with anti-aircraft guns, because, in World War II, Fort Nelson supplied ammunition to the AA batteries that defended the south coast. These weapons gave the local civilian population hope and a sense of fighting back, as they suffered through the blitzes of 1940-41."
Moving the guns from storage to the new gallery is a major milestone in a yearlong construction project to refurbish the Victorian Fort, sympathetically, into a museum fit for the 21st Century. Other major improvements include a new visitor centre, café, education centre and extended parking.
Guns to be moved early this week include:
- British 3.7-inch Anti-Aircraft gun and Searchlight – During the grim nights of the Blitz, the guns' skilled crews worked closely with the searchlight batteries. Fort Nelson had its own gun batteries and also supplied the ammunition for the other guns in the area.
Weight: 8,120 kg
Date: 1943
Fire rate: 8 rounds per minute.
- Bofors 40 mm Anti-Aircraft Gun – With one of the most rapid rates of fire, this versatile light anti-aircraft gun was used by Britain on both land and sea for over 30 years and was particularly effective against low-flying, attack aircraft. Whether operating in the North African desert campaign, or on a convoy in the Atlantic Ocean, the Bofors' firepower saved countless Allied lives.
Weight: – 1,920 kg
Date: – 1940
Fire rate: – 120 rounds per minute.
Other guns to be moved into the new gallery include a French cannon, captured at the Battle of Waterloo; a bronze Russian cannon from the Crimean War of the 1850s, and sections from the barrel of the infamous Iraqi Supergun.
The Fort remains open during the gun movement operation. For more details

This activity investigates how you might make squares and pentominoes from Polydron.
If you had 36 cubes, what different cuboids could you make?
How can you put five cereal packets together to make different
shapes if you must put them face-to-face?
You can make all kinds of designs, perhaps pretending that you are making an animal or an alien or designing a house or some futuristic building or in fact you can just imagine that you are creating rather interesting shapes and are happy with that.
It is quite a good idea to set some sort of rule or rulesthat you have to follow and see how many models/designs you can make if you follow those rules.
I think a good challenge to start with is;
Now let's say that the cubes have to be joined "properly", that is with no twists, so a that a square face is flat against the next square face.
So the two main rules that will control how we will build are as follows:-
Well I wonder how many different designs you can discover or forecast?
When you've done a few it would be good to see if there is a "system", or "particular way of working" that you are using or could use to make things easier.
Some pupils:-
There are some variations that many children come across. Some times they ask "Are these allowed?". A good reply may be " Well, what are the rules that we are using? Do these keep the rules?".

So has anyone put there or think about putting these in their cars?
i was considering getting one, not to use to speed around and have cars get out of my way, but everyytime i find myself doing 65-70 down the parkway in the right lane some jerk comes up behind me riding my bumper, then jerks the wheel around me to try and get me to stomp the gas. i just wish i could get behind him and flick on a light and scare the living piss out of him. my friend is a firefighter and claims that its legal if i keep it off and if it is behind the rear view mirror and isnt an 'obstructed view'. just wanted to know what everyone else thinks, would it be easy to install, is there a huge risk involved, etc.

One FFL swore by US Postal money orders and said the BATFE processed the payment immediately and started the transfer immediately. He said that personal checks delay the process since they take time to clear and the process starts after they clear.
Another one yelled at me for not supplying a personal check. In the end both transfers took the same amount of time.

Listening to Republicans' immediate reaction to President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night, you'd almost think they didn't hear the same speech. "I thought he did a good job—he almost sounded like a Republican," freshmen Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho), said minutes after exiting the House floor. Another freshman, Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), told Mother Jones, "It sounded like a lot more of the same—a lot more government spending." Rep. Allen West (R-Florida) hit both points at once: "It was a president caught between two worlds—the world of trying to be a fiscal conservative and the world of trying to appease his base."
Though Republicans were quick to slam the key pillars of Obama's speech—his call for greater innovation, infrastructure spending, and education investments—as just "another stimulus," but the president's biggest critics were willing to admit there was a lot to like as well.
Obama's promise to revamp the tax code garnered praise from Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), a top-ranking conservative. "If he wants to work with Republicans to fundamentally flatten the tax code of all the various loopholes and credits and deductions, [we're] happy to work with him on that," Hensarling said, as he waited in line for a cable appearance.
Firebrand conservative Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said that he was pleasantly surprised by the president's nod to clean coal. "It was couched in the language subtly," he said. "But maybe he is giving us some openings for all energy all the time, which I'm for."
West, the Florida freshmen, even showed off his copy of Obama's speech: In the margins, he'd scribbled, "Good point!" near the president's lines praising teachers and addressing illegal immigration.
To be sure, the parts of the speech that drew the most Republican cheers also have the dimmest chance of becoming law: there's little political drive on either side for a comprehensive energy bill, immigration refrom, or tax-reform legislation. And Republicans are still bent on beating up Obama on the budget. Though the president's call for a freeze on all discretionary government spending drew a few gasps, King noted that that the freeze would only be "a good thing" if Obama were to roll back spending to 2008 levels—a massive cut that House Republicans are demanding.
In King's view, even the much-ballyhooed across-the-aisle seating arrangement showed the limits of bipartisanship: Members of each party couldn't applaud as a block, he noted, and so "there wasn't much response from the crowd. I've never been a SOTU address and seen such a flat response."
Kevin DrumJan. 26, 2011 12:20 AM
I decided not to liveblog the SOTU this year because I was pretty sure it would be an unusually uneventful speech. And I think that's how it turned out. (Transcript here.) In the end, the only thing that surprised me was how uneventful it was. With only a very few exceptions that were passed over pretty quickly (healthcare reform is great, student loan reform is great), there was almost literally nothing in there that couldn't have been in a George W. Bush speech. It was intensely technocratic and bipartisan: we need better education, we need to invest in infrastructure, we need to concentrate on innovation, we need tax reform, we need to get the deficit down, we're going to crush the Taliban, etc. etc. And even if you grant that "invest" is just another word for "spend," he was mostly talking about the kind of spending the Republicans could, in theory, go along with.
As for the responses, what can you say? Paul Ryan probably did about as well as anyone could do with one of those things, but his speech was mushy and vague to the point of parody. Michele Bachmann had a bit more pep to her step, but her attempt to pretend that the economy was great under George Bush was pretty laughable.
All in all, not a memorable night. Which is too bad, in a way, since I think Obama's education/technology/infrastructure message is actually pretty important. It's too bad nobody is really in a mood to hear it right now.
POSTSCRIPT: And a note to John Boehner: dude, we know you're a Republican. Obama is the opposition. We get it. But your preposterously ostentatious boredom during the entire speech really needs to go. You should at least pretend you're not in junior high school anymore.

Last night, I asked Parent Revolution to send me a copy of the letter that the Compton Unified School District mailed out to parents of students at McKinley Elementary School. Compton Unified printed the letters on Wednesday, Jan. 19th, and sent them to parents who requested that this chronically low-performing school be turned into a charter:
"As part of the District's responsibility to evaluate the Petition, we ask that you come to McKinley Elementary School on January 26 or 27, 2011, between the hours of 7:30am-9am or 3pm-6pm (on either date) to sign a form verifying your signature on the Petition. Please make sure to bring photo identification (such as a California driver's license) as you will be asked to show identification before being provided a signature verification form."
"As part of the District's responsibility to evaluate the Petition, we ask that you come to McKinley Elementary School on January 26 or 27, 2011, between the hours of 7:30am-9am or 3pm-6pm (on either date) to sign a form verifying your signature on the Petition. Please make sure to bring photo identification (such as a California driver's license) as you will be asked to show identification before being provided a signature verification form."
(See full letter below.)
Why such extremely narrow window of time? The Compton District officials know that most Compton residents are low-income parents, often working two jobs. Do they open their mail every day? I don't. Will parents be able to get time off from work on such short notice? I can't. Not to mention that the district requests that all parents come with photo IDs, which will surely be an issue for some undocumented parents in this predominantly Latino school.
Then the letter says that the signatures of no-shows will be disqualified.
This gives me serious pause. I've been working with the San Francisco Unified District since November, where I report on a high school with test scores similar to McKinley's, and I haven't seen anything like this in SF.
To be fair: Parent Revolution doesn't seem like a fair player in this political fight either. The signature gathering process was done under the radar; Louis Freedberg over at California Watch rightfully calls it a "stealth campaign." The district, the school, and even McKinley's PTA didn't know anything about it in advance. As state PTA president Jo Loss told California Watch, the Parent Revolution's petition gave parents only one option: to turn this school into a charter, even though the law provides three other choices.
If nothing else, it's hard to shake the feeling that the Compton District's extremely narrow window for verifying signatures of this most controversial and important petition in education reform was unprofessional at best, deliberate at worst. Ron Suazo, Compton School District spokesperson, didn't want to comment on the phone when I called this morning. He told me he'll email me the official response by the district explaining their rationale later today. I'll post it as soon as it comes in, but it's 6:30 pm PST and so far, nothing.
[Update on Jan. 27: Good news for parents who signed the petition, after two days of calling and emailing by MoJo, the Compton Unified sent in a statement from Acting Superintendent Karen Frison:
"We understand McKinley parents/guardians may not be able to attend our signature verification process, so we will offer a make-up date the following week, and we will also contact them if they have been unable to meet with us. The district is open to developing other ways for them to participate in an effort to accommodate their work schedules. The signature verification process is designed to protect the voice of McKinley's families, regardless of their position on the parent trigger law."]

Barack Obama plans to propose a five-year discretionary spending freeze in tonight's State of the Union address. Is this a good idea? A preemptive capitulation to Republican deficit hawks? Or what?
I vote for "or what." Let's all keep in mind that budgets are set one year at a time, and they're mostly set by Congress. The president has a certain amount of agenda-setting power, but that's about it. Members of Congress will do whatever they want, and next year they'll once again do whatever they want. If that means spending more money, they'll spend more money. Obama could announce a hundred-year discretionary spending freeze and it would mean about as much as a five-year freeze. This is more a PR exercise than anything else and should be evaluated on those terms.

Over the next few weeks, yours truly is going to highlight the political sideshow that is the Sunshine State in a little feature I'd like to call "What's the Matter With Florida?" From the new billionaire ex-CEO governor who can't count or set a budget, to his regulatory logjamming and pro-corporate political appointments, to the GOP-run legislature's fight against fair voter districting (2000 anyone?), to statewide Republicans' preoccupation with residents' poop tanks—it's a real-time lesson in what conservative-dominated governance looks like in America after George W. Bush.
As a taste, here's but a single development on a single day:
Screw the Fountain of Youth. Florida House Republicans have discovered something better in one of their smoky, hubris-filled back rooms: a hot-tub time machine.
At least, that seems the most plausible explanation for today's developments: They dropped trou, jumped into the warm frothy waters of their whirlpool, and used it to travel six years hence, when they shall continue to reign benevolently over the state's lower legislative chamber. The St. Petersburg Times reports:
We're hearing from a top Miami Republican lawmaker that Miami-Dade's Republican delegation, the biggest in the state, voted as a bloc to make Rep. Richard Corcoran House Speaker in 2017-18. Though he's a Suncoast guy, Corcoran had big Miami bonafides: He was the chief of staff to Miami's only House Speaker, Marco Rubio, the current U.S. senator and Republican star.
...from what the lawmakers and consultocracy are telling us, Corcoran is well on his way to succeeded Chris Dorworth who will succeed Will Weatherford who will succeed current House Speaker Dean Cannon.

Wuzzat? You wanted to know how it's possible that a political party already has its next four speakers of the 120-seat Florida House picked out, when voters have yet to go to the 2012, 2014, and 2016 polls and grant that party a majority of the seats? And you don't buy the hot-tub thing?

Photo: Wikimedia CommonsI recently picked up a copy of George R. Stewart's Names on the Land. It's a fascinating account of the naming of America: How we got places like Mugfuzzle Flats, Coeur d'Alene, and Fort Worth, and (to put it in unsufferable press release-ese) what that says about us.
Among other things, we learn that the Senate debate over the naming of West Virgina briefly devolved into a discussion of whether Queen Elizabeth was, in fact, a virgin. And that before Congress settled on "Nevada" (over the superior and geographically relevant "Washoe"), there was a proposal to name it "Bullion," after its only notable export.
The big revelation, though, is that despite all appearances to the contrary, "Oregon" is actually a misspelling of "Wisconsin." Or rather, it's a corruption of the original French corruption of the original Native American word. A somewhat erroneous 17th-century French explorer suggested that the Wisconsin River might lead all the way to the Pacific Ocean, so when the Americans finally got around to the Pacific Northwest, it seemed like a logical name. Here's the process, according to Stewart:
Wisconsin <— Ouisconsink —> Ouariconsint —> Ouaricon-sint —> Ouaricon —> Ourigan —> Ouragon —> Oregon
Wisconsin <— Ouisconsink —> Ouariconsint —> Ouaricon-sint —> Ouaricon —> Ourigan —> Ouragon —> Oregon
Simple enough, I guess. Anyways, this officially makes Oregon redundant. Perhaps Obama can address this in his State of the Union?*
*Update: No.

Was economic growth in the period 1950-80 really significantly higher than it has been in the period since then? Yesterday I said that growth rates in those two periods were actually about the same, and today Stuart Staniford and Ryan Avent say I'm wrong. They both have a point, so let's revisit this.
Stuart points out that a 100-year logarithmic chart hides small differences. Ryan points to decadal averages for real GDP. So here's a new chart that addresses both of these concerns (GDP and population data from FRED.):
First off, I'm using GDP per capita, not raw GDP, since that's a better measure of actual economic growth. Stuart suggests that GDP per working-age person might be a better measure, and I'm open to that depending on what it is we want to measure. Still, GDP per capita is the usual measure, so that's what I used.
The most obvious conclusion that pops out from the data is that growth has been fairly steady for the past sixty years with the exception of a nice growth spurt in the mid-60s. You can see that in the average growth rates per decade:
For the 30-year period 1950-79, growth averaged 3.18%. For the 28-year period 1980-2007, growth averaged 2.53%.
There are a couple of conclusions here. (1) The 60s were great, the 2000s were lousy. (2) Overall growth in the most recent three decades was indeed lower than in the three decades of the postwar era. (3) But not by a lot.
So I overstated things yesterday, but I'd still say it's the economy of the aughts that's a problem, not the entire post-70s era. The fact is that the post-70s economy as a whole simply wasn't a lot worse than the post-40s economy. The problem during this era wasn't primarily that growth was lackluster, it's that middle class wages consistently lagged growth by upwards of a percentage point per year.
So to revisit yesterday's point: yes, growth is important. You can't have 2% wage growth if the economy is growing 1.27% per year. But it's not enough. We had good growth for three decades after the end of the 60s and it didn't produce steady middle-class income gains. Distribution is important too.

An interesting analysis in Environmental Research Letters of the accuracy of media reporting of climate-related sea level rise. The premise: That the mass media associates sea level rise with climate change and reports on it frequently, yet the scientific community remains dubious of the media's accuracy.
So how good or bad is the situation really? The authors examined the accuracy of reporting between 1989 and 2009 by seven prominent US and UK newspapers:
Credit: Environmental Research Letters DOI:10.1088/1748-9326/6/1/014004
There's been little to no coverage of direct research, the completion of specific projections, or the publication of incremental but important papers. For those milestones, the mass media is largely silent. Obviously this speaks to the different tool sets of media and science—media being the microphone, science the microscope. If we can ever get them working together, we'll get real traction against the flood.
Credit: Wikimedia Commons.
The authors conclude:
Mass media presentations of climate change remain key influences that bound discourses and shape the spectrum of possibility for climate mitigation and adaptation actions. Amid much recent criticism of climate science and the media on the high-stakes, high profile and highly politicized issue, accurate reporting on projections for sea level rise by 2100 demonstrates a bright spot at the interface of climate science and mass media. These findings can contribute to more measured considerations of climate impacts and policy action in the public sphere.

Topic: Early contact
Is part of topic Oceania: Early encounters
European explorers began venturing into the vast Pacific around 500 years ago. By then, they had developed the ships and techniques to voyage long distances across the open ocean.
The explorers set off in search of the 'Great Southern Continent' – a place they believed must exist to balance the weight of northern-hemisphere land. They imagined this place to be rich in resources.
The first contact between Europeans and Pacific peoples in the 1700s and 1800s sparked a range of responses, from curiosity and friendship to misunderstanding and violence. The objects in this section recall these extraordinary times, before widespread European settlement of the Pacific.

Binghamton University seeks former Peace Corps volunteers
BINGHAMTON, NY -- The US Peace Corps will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in March 2011 and Binghamton University is planning a variety of events in recognition of this milestone.
As one of the top volunteer producing universities, Binghamton University has more alumni serving in the Peace Corps than any other SUNY campus. Since the Corps' inception in 1961, over 230 Binghamton University alumni have joined its ranks, serving in countries around the world, including Botswana, Cape Verde, Guatemala, Mongolia and Ukraine.
Binghamton is hoping to gather as many Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCV) as possible to participate in the celebration – even those who may not have gone to the University. Festivities will include exhibits, panel discussions, guest speakers and presentations.
For more information, RPCV-ers can contact Meg Mitzel at 607-777-6758 or email@example.com.

Bayou Pierre Wildlife Management Area is located in extreme northwest Red River and east-central Desoto Parishes, 20 miles south of Shreveport. Primary access routes to the area are Red River Parish Road 410 and Yearwood Road off of Louisiana Highway 1. The Department maintains a limited system of regular and restricted-use ATV trails. Parish maintained roads also provide access to and through the area.
Bayou Pierre WMA lies in the Red River Alluvial Valley and is comprised of approximately 2,212 acres with Bayou Pierre bisecting the area. The area contains soil that drains poorly and is subject to periodic annual flooding. The terrain is essentially flat with only a five feet change in elevation across the entire area. There are drainages, wet weather ponds, sloughs, reforested areas, grasslands and supplemental food plots that create habitat favorable to supporting a diversified wildlife community.
The original bottomland hardwood forest on the area was cleared and the area drained in an attempt to convert the area to farming during the mid-1900?s. Following several failed farming attempts the area was deeded to the Department in 1992.
The Department has developed wildlife habitat featuring four distinct types, a 160 acre moist soil waterfowl refuge, 800 acres in ridge and swale / reforested bottomland hardwoods, a 200 plus acres reforested hardwood area and the remaining acreage being managed in planted dove fields and open grasslands. The wildlife habitat on the area has benefited from several cooperative projects among the Department and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, the National Wild Turkey Federation, Quail Unlimited, American Energy Producers and the USDA?s Natural Resources Conservation Service.
White-tailed deer, rabbits, squirrel, raccoon, snipe, waterfowl and dove hunting opportunities are available on the area. Deer, squirrel and raccoon hunting are limited due to the young age of the reforested hardwood area. Waterfowl hunting is very limited due to the small acreage and the Department?s effort to have the area serve as a migration refuge for waterfowl during the winter months. High concentrations of snipe use the area during late winter months when local rainfall allows for sheeting of shallow water and saturated soil conditions. Trapping is allowed on the area except in the waterfowl refuge. Dove hunting opportunities range form excellent to fair depending on dove migrations and agricultural practices on the surrounding farms. Dove hunters should scout the area during the later portions of the dove seasons when winter cold fronts push additional flights of doves into the area and hunting pressure is generally very light.
Bayou Pierre WMA is a well-known birdwatching area from early fall throughout winter and during the northward spring migration. The area is noted as an excellent area to see hawks and owls during the winter months. Also, white-throated, white-crowned, chipping, field, fox and song sparrows are regular winter residents. Red-tailed hawks, northern harriers and American kestrels are also common. Spring transient warblers include the yellow, Tennessee, black-throated green and magnolia. Common summer nesters on the area are scissor-tailed flycatchers. Numerous species of reptiles, amphibians and insects can also be found utilizing the diversified habitat.
Camping areas are not available on the area.

text: Hey, my name is Lynnzy and I own a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 extended cab. I live in Suffolk County, NY. I am having an issue with the door moldings fading, and showing the yellow of the plastic under the paint. Chevy says they can't cover it because it's out of new car warranty since August of 2011. But I only have 42K on the truck, and it's in perfect condition, no damage, dents, etc. They only started fading after the warranty was up, does anyone have advise on how to get this covered by Chevy?
