Interesting that this is just a rehash of the article published Friday - which has been taking off the Weekly's site. Perhaps Cook-Kalio had a problem with the fact that only 2 of the 18 comments were in her favor and made a call to her friends at the Weekly.
By running on the lie that she's pro-pension reform, yet fully backed and financed by unions - I have to ask just how dumb does she think Pleasanton is?

Cook-Kalio has the public employee unions working for her and calling voters to get her elected. She must have promised them that there would be no pension reform with her as mayor. No way they would all be supporting her if she planned to do anything to work on pension reform or our unfunded liabilities.

PW - you undermine your credibility with antics like this - e.g. republishing the same story with the hope of burying critical comments.
If we are misinterpreting your actions, maybe you could explain them. Otherwise they will remain to be highly suspicious.

White washing the comments is inexcusable.

PW has always been pro union and is part of the union stooges.

". . .doesn't wear any party affiliation on her sleeve." is an absolute joke!! How many pictures of cook-kallio with pete stark has the Weekly printed in the last 9 months? One of them was at a fundraiser for Stark. And look at her endorsements--the very first one is the democratic party!! Then lets think about the fliers for her 2 fundraisers--the list of names on it were a who's who of the democratic party. there were at most 1 or 2 pleasanton names on the list. Speaks volumes for where her priorities are--not with Pleasanton!!
". . .supported by business." Huh? Didn't the Chamber endorse Thorne for Mayor. Aren't they the voice for business?
What's behind this endorsement? The reasoning presented is certainly flawed.

At least the article was removed by Monday. Shameful weekly, shameful.

Topping the list of issues to be solved in Pleasanton (like many municipalities), is dealing with the lack of public union sustainability, as currently structured.
As nice as Ms Cook-Kallio is, I question having a public union member and activist as the driver and decider of putting options on the table. ?

Anyone that thinks the unions are not putting union stooges in office are watching to many cartoons. Of course they are backing people, and giving them money, and having the union members vote for them. Then it's payback time. You have to know that. Ms.Cook-Kallio is in fact part of the union that is taking over everywhere, why would anyone be surprised.

Did you get the bundle on your doorstep from Thorne? Mauser for Senate, yes on 30 and he is on the Republican slate. REALLY?
That aside, being part of a party is not the issue. It is whether you can work with others and represent all segments of the community.
Cook-Kallio is the best choice. She has shown that she can work with everyone. She is courageous and has shown leadership.

How can we ever break free. How can we ever vote on other issues needed by 'the people'. Union greed is destroying every other aspect of our lives in the entire state of CA. Shame on PW. Cheryl is nice, but nice doesn't cut it! simply not enough. Voters need to vote for voter's needs, but there is nothing left when unions suck the life blood OUT of EVERYTHING else ! ! !
Shame on PW...Wrong choice for Pleasanton. Sad. No 'party' is going to change the effects of their errors.

partner... whatever, you better make your 'typo correction' REALLY, REALLY, clear, your bundle was NOT 30... those kind of 'mistakes' are stupid and serious....
Should be NO on 30, NO on 30, no on 30, and

Corporations buying off politicians? YES!
Teachers and students? NO!
All Californians, all the fruits and nuts, need to get their priorities straight.
No on 30! Yes on 32!
Unionized workers should do what job creating heroes tell them to do: shut up and get to work. Leave matters of buying off politicians to corporations. Teachers? Quit flaunting your wealth with that brand new KIA and give us back our tax money!

Speaking of Demarcus, but this would make a fascinating in depth investigative reporting article. Demarcus was a consultant for James Tong regarding a project in Pleasanton regarding Vintage Hills shopping center that New Leaf is currently going in to (demolishing it and building high density housing) and interestingly, did not address the Pleasanton City Council on any matters at all related to 'transportation.' Demarcus operates under the Fictitous Business Name of The Demarcus Group, but did not define that name until quite recently -- August 14, 2008.
Also, she was present and sitting next to James Tong, Martin Inderbitzen, and paid consultant Tom Pico and architects in many of of the Oak Grove hearings at the Planning Commission and City Council in Pleasanton City Council Chambers between 2006 and 2007.
Also, she was present and sitting next to James Tong in the Promenade rezoning hearings in Dublin and photographed sitting next to James Tong in the City Council Chambers on September 20, 2011. If she has not worked for James Tong for 10 years, why is she sitting with James Tong with his team of representatives at all of these public hearings?
And let's not forget her personally arranging for Jennifer Hosterman to use the Chabot Drive Charter Properties Suite 100 location for her mayoral campaign in October 2004 to put mailing labels of 15,000 pieces of Jennifer Hosterman mailers.
What a coincidence!!!
And let's not forget that in 2010 Erlene Demarcus who has obtained thousands of dollars from people with the last name of Tong and Lin is listed as Secretary where Mei-Chun Lin is President for the Boulder Creek Foundation in filings with the Federal government from 2010. If Demarcus claims no business relationship with Tong/Lin in 10 years, why is she listed on forms for a 2010 business filed with the Federal Government?
Mei-Chun Lin is associated with Chang Su-O Lin and Frederic Lin in the Fairway Family Community LP/Fairway Family Community Apts LP company and Dublin Ranch Senior Apartments projects in Dublin as well as being the head of Boulder Creek LLC.

or some oil additive, to attract SHB to traps
or some oil additive, to attract SHB to traps
You don't want it to be too attractive or you'll be luring SHB from outside the hive! I use used vegetable oil that the restaurants usually throw out, but are now giving to me. SHB seem to like it better than clean oil.
I used canola just because that is what I had on hand. I agree, I dont think it is supposed to be attractive.. just a trap.
I have a dummy hive set up in which I use the same formula that is used to attract wax moths. This is apple cider vinegar, sugar and ripe banana peels allowed to ferment. I put this in my traps and catch beetles by the hundreds, hopefully before they get into an actual bee hive.
I also have some traps in this same dummy hive that is baited with pollen and honey but it catches fewer beetles than the other trap.
How is your trap set up? do you have any pictures?
Thats an interesting idea but I'm skeptical of the idea of luring bees outside into a trap. It sounds too much like the japanese beetle trap idea..which resulted in "more" beetles in my yard not fewer.
The beetles are different from the Japanese Beetles in that the SHB is already lured to your beeyard by the bee hives. If not for the trap they would surely enter the hives. I have fewer in hive beetles now due to the trap hive. Of course, I still have to keep traps in all the actual hives.
I have an empty hive body on a plastic bottom board with the entrance restricted so that only hive beetles may enter. Inside I have Beetle Barns with Fipronil inside them. For a lure I use the wax moth bait made from vinegar, sugar and banana peels. This is also a trap as it is desiged so that the beetles may enter but cannot escape. I would not want Fipronil inside my bee hives but in the trap hive it works well and is of no harm to bees. I keep one frame of pollen and honey inside the trap hive as well.
I ate lunch last november w/ the guy who invented the trap, and he had me well versed in the way that it works. To the best of my knowledge use 20 ccs of any oil, the trap is designed as a hiding place.

Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou says any question marks over Marco Rojas' ability to strut a bigger stage were answered with his five-star performance in torching Sydney FC.
Rojas scored one goal, did everything but get the scoresheet credit for another, and stood up big-time in a big occasion match at AAMI Park to help his A-League side to a 3-1 win.
With a contingent from English Premier League club Liverpool at the match to discuss a potential off-season game in Australia, as well as scouts from Italian giants Juventus, Rojas turned on his sensational best.
Postecoglou believes how the A-League's hottest property handled the pressure shows he has the right people guiding his career. And his coach believes he has developed the mental fortitude as well as the on-field ability to excel when he inevitably moves to Europe.
"There's obviously a lot of pressure on him, but I think he's got a pretty good network around him because, when you talk to him, he's not fazed by anything," Postecoglou said.
"That was a pretty big challenge for him with all the focus on him, and apparently there's a couple of thousand scouts out watching him.
"The fact he could perform like that shows if there were any question marks about him stepping up to a bigger stage, I think he answered them."
The win took Melbourne to second spot on the A-League ladder. But he now wants his side to chase down runaway leaders Central Coast Mariners.

After all, the goal of business is to produce appealing products and keep costs in check. Similarly, the goal of school districts is to provide quality education for students and keep costs in check.
Of course, we know that it's not that simple. Many business practices are not applicable to schools as much as we'd like them to be. Perhaps the best lesson that school boards can glean from business is how to avoid decisions that lead to negative results.
Though most school board decisions will have their critics, I'm talking about those that have consequences either damaging to the perception of the board's ability to function or to the community the board serves.
Consider these examples. The first is that of the Boulder Valley School District. In 1995, newly elected board members were more conservative than their predecessors and considered themselves to be very dedicated to improving student achievement.
To that end, the board reversed many earlier decisions of past boards, including policies that adopted new teaching trends that the new board members believed were ineffective. This board made many decisions as quickly as possible and involved the public only when absolutely necessary. It limited the number of speakers at board meetings and restricted those speakers to only two minutes each.

While I was sitting near the hive, yesterday, I noticed the fait odor of fermentation. Now, it has been hot and pretty humid the last few weeks. Although I haven't seen any, should I be worried about a SHB infestation?
While I was sitting near the hive, yesterday, I noticed the fait odor of fermentation. Now, it has been hot and pretty humid the last few weeks. Although I haven't seen any, should I be worried about a SHB infestation?
I've never seen a SHB in my hives and pray I don't, but will deal with it when and if it occurs. If you are in a SHB area you could always put in an AJ Beetle trap and monitor it just to be on the safe side.
As for the fermentation smell...it's been humid as all get-out here and the air is filled with the smell of nectar being processed into into honey. If your smelling what I am smelling, it's a normal smell! Hopefully you are!
I don't know that I'm in a SHB area, but I am in the process of order a bettle trap, just to be safe.
I sure hope I'm just smelling honey being processed.
Don't fret too much, Monie - it will take the fun out of it! The bees usually have a way to work things out for ya. Have fun!
I am slowly learning MapMan's wisdom. Rushing in to "fix" a problem may cause more problems. Then again remember your observation next time you do an inspection. Worrying does take the fun out of it...
I'll bet it's a normal smell. I LOVE that smell. A mixture of wax, honey and pollen. It's almost yeasty.
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
I would not go by smell alone. You should follow up on your next scheduled inspection by looking for SHB adults in the hive if you are concerned.
You are most likely smelling bee bread which is pollen mixed with nectar and honey.
Smells are very subjective. "When in doubt check it out". Honey and bee bread often have a yeasty bread like smell. This should not be too strong nor should it smell like alcohol. Aster and goldenrod honey (don't know which one) often smell like dirty socks. SHB according to those who have smelled it, have a fermented, alcohol, orange peel smell.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
This is definitely more of a faint, yeasty, sour smell. No orange or alcohol smell to it.
I asked a couple of ladies, who have had their hives for a few years, to come and check mine. I'm happy to report that they couldn't detect the odor, nor did they see evidence of SHB. In addition, I was instructed to add a honey super.
If you have aster or goldenrod in your area when the bees begin collecting nectar you will notice a smell comming from your hives. Actually, you'll smell it outside the hives. It's distinctive but also normal. Enjoy!
Try to learn something new every day and give thanks for all your blessings.

My research is in nanomagetism. The magnetization of the sample may be switched from one orientation to another that could be used as a storage device in binary code format. This area of research has recently received a lot of notoriety due to the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded based on the GMR effect (2008).
Most of my work is in magnetic alloys, and how to control the magnetic properties by changing the concentrations of the elements in the alloy. For example, combining just two magnetic elements, Ni and Fe in different ways, you can get a variety of different properties. Invar, which is composed of 65% iron in nickel, is often of interest due to its low thermal coefficient. The magnetic properties of permalloy make it a good choice for magnetic devices like computer hard drive reading heads. Recent research projects have been in studying optical plasmon behavior of magnetic films that uses light as a method to transport information.
Students may have an opportunity to work in all areas of my research projects from creating their own materials, characterizing their properties, to disseminating results in papers and conferences. I am also open to any new ideas of research a student might have. I accept students at any level of experience.
As the advisor for physics/engineering club, I have the pleasure of helping student be active in their pursuit of hands on projects. Recent projects have including a Vermont charity event where students build their own pumpkin chuckin' trebuchet for competition. The club has also held science nights for high school students, tutoring sessions, and built an electric powered bicycle. We are always looking for new projects to take on to better our own knowledge in physics/engineering while having fun doing it.

Back behind the wheel of his Mazda RX7, "Mad Mike" Whiddett was once again atop the D1NZ national drifting championship podium, taking round five of the series, held at Christchurch last weekend.
Fresh from his near flawless win at Hampton Downs last month, Whiddett qualified in sixth place, narrowly behind local driver Cody Collis in his Nissan S13 Silvia.
From then on Whiddett and Collis were on a warpath throughout the top 16, ending up in a showdown for the top spot in round five.
Collis almost had what would have been on of D1NZ's biggest upsets in the bag going into the final against Whiddett.
Although triumphing against one of the scene's most seasoned veterans is no easy task, it looked to be a very possible outcome for the young Christchurch driver.
But his Nissan suffered an untimely electrical fault, handing the win to Whiddett - to the dismay of the home crowd.
As well as winning round five and maintaining his second placing on the championship leader board, Whiddett also secured the BP Ultimate Triple Crown series-within-a-series win.
This entitled him to receive a year's worth of BP Ultimate 98 octane fuel for his efforts over the past three rounds.
After championship points leader Dan "Fanga" Woolhouse left the top 16 early on in the day, 2011/2012 season Pro Am winner Cam Vernon was able to make his way through the top 16 with what seemed like ease over the course of the day.
Driving a Nissan R32 Skyline, Vernon even beat the highly respected Andrew Redwood after his Mazda RX7 broke an axle.
Unfortunately for Vernon, he narrowly missed out on a podium finish succumbing to eventual third place winner Drew Donavan in his Nissan S15 Silvia.
While Woolhouse is still at the top of the table after round five, Whiddett and Andrew Redwood are within 40 points of the lead.
This means the final round of the championship, to be held at Auckland's Pukekohe Raceway, will be of great importance in deciding how this season will pan out.
With last season's champion, Cole Armstrong, and promising up and comer Nico Reid completing the top five drivers going into the final, the rounds will be tightly fought.

Mayor's Notebook: Thanks to Day of Caring participants
Everyone must be wondering where the Pequot Lakes "thanks" were for the wonderful Day of Caring that the high school students provided to the community on May 9, especially since the city of Pequot Lakes had four major projects.
It isn't that we didn't truly appreciate the program. It's that I left town for just over two weeks that afternoon (after working in Trailside Park all morning) and this is my first opportunity to say thanks.
It was a great first event and I do look forward to next year ... that is, of course, if I can ever locate my four rakes that seem to have gone missing!
Events are starting to kick off in town. I would like to remind everyone of the annual Pet Parade on Saturday, June 15. There is no charge to participate but we would love to have lots of pets — the stranger the better — to participate in the parade.
Signup/lineup starts at 10 a.m. in the north parking lot by the middle school, and the parade starts promptly at 10:30 a.m. with the route going down Main Street with a red carpet at the end just in case your pet can do a trick.
There are lots of prizes, games, food and booths, and it's a wonderful, fun event for young and old. Barb Merritt is once again in charge. Call her, 568-4695, if you have questions or would like to sign up for a booth.
By now, everyone should be looking forward to the Park Board's summer Bands In The Park. This free, Saturday night, all-summer-long program kicks off at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 22, at the bandshell right in the center of town. The 7 p.m. time will be the consistent time all summer, and the library's popcorn wagon will be pulled out and in place for the first concert.
Again, popcorn will be free, but donations to the library are always welcome. Also, look at businesses around town, the library, or city hall for the 2013 Park Brochure. This great pamphlet has all of the events going on for the year and names of the bands each week.
After that, it's not much longer until our over-the-top Stars and Stripes extravaganza occurs. Sponsored by the chamber, it starts July 3 with a band in the park and fireworks. On the 4th, there is a parade at noon with booths all along the trail.
There is a real need for donations toward the fireworks. Please consider donating. Checks can be dropped off at the chamber building or at Lakes State Bank to help offset the cost of this event that we all enjoy so very much. Don't delay!
We're off to a great start. Please participate in and enjoy all of our events. I do hope you were able to enjoy last Saturday's Cherry Car Show that the Lions organized. If you missed it, put it on your calendar for next year — it's always the first Saturday of June.

Voyage-Air at Bonnaroo
At Bonnaroo Music Festival, Michael Franti had the opportunity to check out the Voyage-Air Guitar. He was doing an interview and live performance in the hay wrapped trailer you see behind him, the home away from home of Sean O'Connell's Music Allies.
As he stepped out he was greeted by Rev. Dr. Keith Coes, Musical Director for WRLT Lighting 100, who is a huge fan of the Voyage-Air Guitar. Michael Franti and Spearhead are now also fans of the Voyage-Air Guitar! Be sure to check out their new record, slated to drop in August entitled The Sound of Sunshine.
You can chat live with Michael, Tuesday, June 29th and ask him about the Voyage-Air Guitar! Check his website for details. www.michaelfranti.com For live interviews from Bonnaroo, check out www.lightning100.com.

Silicon Image Drops 14%: Cuts Q2 View as Mobile Chips Disappoint
Shares of chip maker Silicon Image (SIMG) are down 68 cents, or almost 14%, at $4.31, in late trading, after being briefly halted just before the company this afternoon warned that its Q2 revenue will miss its prior expectations, owning to "lower than anticipated mobile IC shipments in the quarter to a significant customer and the dealy of expected HDMI royalty revenue."
Revenue for the three months ended in June is now expected to total $58.5 million to $60.5 million, below the prior forecast range of $71 million to $76 million, the company said. That is below the average estimate on the Street of $73.3 million.
Gross profit is also expected to be lower, at 59% or 60%, versus the prior 56.5% forecast.
CEO Camillo Martino said things would get better as the year goes on:
Although the quarter has been challenging, we are confident that we will work through these items over the balance of the year. Most importantly, we remain committed to executing on our strategy of expanding MHL into mid-range mobile devices and addressing the growing 60GHz wireless market for video and data which we believe is key to growing our business and creating long-term value for shareholders.

With more men turning to personal trainers and therapists, perhaps it's no surprise that they are also turning to bespoke tailors in hopes of cultivating that James Bond look.
Many custom tailors say that about 80 per cent of their clients are men who are tired of shirts with excess material around their waist or suit jackets with sleeves a tad too long. Men like to control the details of their clothing.
"The men who come in are information soakers," says Andrew Kozinn of Saint Laurie Merchant Tailors in New York.
"They have jobs that depend on due diligence, and that carries over to buying clothes."
An architect recently asked Saint Laurie's Kozinn to create a suit jacket for him with a big iPad pocket sewn into the lining. Bewildered at first, Kozinn realized that the concept wasn't too far off from jackets decades ago that had special pockets sewn in for cigarette packages.
Of course, the iPad is bigger and heavier. "It can wrinkle the jacket a bit," says Kozinn, "but we accommodate it."
A bespoke suit lets a man express himself, and the process of designing it makes him more thoughtful about his clothing, Kozinn says. "He wouldn't ever think of putting on a tight-fitting suit with goofy square-toed Zappos shoes."
Two-piece suit ($US1,895), three-piece suit ($US2,545), two blazers ($US1,495 each), four pairs of trousers (about $US550 each) -- Saint Laurie Merchant Tailors
Running Tally: $US9,630
A watch collector walked into Ascot Chang tailors in New York with a strange shirt request. He wanted the left sleeve shorter than the right so his timepiece would always be visible.
"We had a bit of a back-and-forth about it," says Ascot Chang's Justin Chang. "What would happen, we wondered, if he chose not to wear a watch one day?"
In the end, the left sleeve was shortened so it would never cover the watch. That was a minor challenge. One man, for instance, didn't come close to having the perfect physique, yet he wanted a shirt that made him look like Superman.
"More men want skin-tight shirts," says Chang. "They want it so tight that if they sit down, I worry their buttons will pop off."
$US2,400: Eight custom-made shirts (the average number bought by first-time customers) at an average price of $US300 per shirt using a variety of popular fabrics -- Ascot Chang
Running Tally: $US12,030
A man in his 60s yearned for the Levi's jeans of his youth. At the Levi's Meatpacking Store in New York, he was able to create a pair just like the ones he remembered. The store is the only one that manufactures bespoke Levi's.
Tobey Hayduk of Levi's says the stitches are made one line at a time and examined by a tailor during the process. Regular jeans go through machines that make two parallel lines of stitching at once. The difference may not be noticeable to everyone, but that doesn't matter, says Hayduk.
"You can be sitting in a restaurant having lunch, and you'll spot a guy at another table wearing bespoke jeans," he says. "Its sort of like being in a club."
$US750: One pair of jeans -- Levi's Meatpacking Store
Running Tally: $US12,780
Dress Shoes
You may never want shoes made out of ostrich skin, but if you do, you won't find them at Payless. Paul Wilson, the shoemaker at John Lobb in Paris, explains that aside from rare materials, a bespoke shoemaker can make dreams come true.
For one man, Wilson boosted his height (and ego) more than two inches by adding a "lift" inside the shoe. For another -- a skinny fellow who wore tight-fitting suits -- Wilson recreated clunky English army boots from World War I with bright red lining inside.
"I like it when a customer knows what he wants, though he looked like an extreme version of Tin Tin," says Wilson.

"For some reason, many celebrities have huge heads," observes Orlando Palacios, the haberdasher at New York's Worth & Worth. For such men, finding a hat is no easy matter. Getting one made isn't easy either.
The size of the hat's brim and crown depends on such features as the size of the head, the squareness of the jawbone and the height of the cheekbones, he says. Even the size of the lapel on an overcoat is considered. In the end, it all has to be proportional.
"You can't put a three-inch brim on a hat for a man that is six feet tall but weighs just 120 pounds," says Palacios. "It would look as if he has wings."

If the idea of having your underwear made to measure makes you squirm, most men would likely agree. Fact is, underwear doesn't really need to be customized. Since waist sizes must be flexible to handle expanding stomachs after big meals, boxer shorts and even briefs don't need to be perfectly fitted.
If you do want something special, make sure the boxer is made of silk or cotton with a yarn number of more than 100 (which makes the material smoother). Or you can buy briefs or boxers made by the Swiss company Zimmerli and have them specially colored for you by Kabbaz Kelly & Sons in New York. When it comes to boxers, that may be bespoke enough.

Why not create a very unique aroma that only you exude? At Scenterprises in Manhattan, you answer a number of questions before a concoction is tailored to your olfactory system.
At issue: Whether you like the feel of wool, silk or cashmere (which says something about the scents you may like) and the smells of flowers, woods or spice. The final test may be the reaction of others.
"Many people overlook the fact that our sense of smell is the most powerful sense after sight," says Sue Phillips, the owner of Scenterprises.
"If it smells bad, though, people will remember."
$US185: Minimum price for initial consultation and 1-ounce customized cologne -- Scenterprises

text: The patient: 2002 Silverado LS 3500 DRW I bought this truck used in 2007. I use it mostly towing a trailer and on long hauls. When I pull into a Flying J / Pilot / TA or any other truck stop to get fuel, I can almost count faster than the digits roll on the fuel pump. For some reason even the lowest setting on the fuel nozzle will cause the automatic shutoff to kick off and splash fuel out. It literally takes me 15 minutes to put the fuel in. Any ideas what to check out would be appreciated. I just can believe this is normal. It's a real pain for sure! :grrrrrr: Thanks!

Orlando Is Your Oyster
Resort Stay Vouchers • Kissimmee, FL
Escape Kit
- A Seven-Night Stay at Your Choice of Multiple Orlando Properties
The Destinations
Surrounded by the lakes and waterways of Central Florida and proliferated with high-flying theme parks and storylines of beloved fantasies, Orlando can be seen as a city of two experiences: Either you find the adventure, or you can let the adventure come to you. Those who wish to uncover a city beyond parades and roller coasters will find airboat rides and quiet gardens, close-knit neighborhoods and exotic foods. But if curiosity leads you into a theme park, there are more than enough rides, sweets, and attractions to fill your souvenir bags with memories to last a lifetime.

Resort Stay Vouchers gives you a choice of numerous Orlando resorts, where rooms can accommodate anywhere from two to ten people.

Print an Authorization for the Use or Disclosure of Patient Health Information form
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system, making it difficult to fight off infections and cancers. Without treatment, the immune system begins to fail, putting the body at risk of infection.
HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse. Fluids which can transmit HIV include semen, vaginal fluids, blood and breast milk.
Most children acquire HIV from perinatal transmission, or transmission from mother to baby during pregnancy, labor or delivery. All women should be tested for HIV during pregnancy. Pregnant women with HIV infection can take medications to prevent the transmission of HIV to their baby. In addition, women with HIV infection should not breast feed their infants because breastfeeding increases the risk of HIV transmission by about 15%.
With no treatment, HIV infection can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome), a condition that occurs when the immune system is weakened and can no longer fight infections and diseases. It is important to know that today, with treatment options easily available, patients living with HIV infection can expect to live an almost normal life span.
The Children's HIV Program provides the following services:
For the past 20 years, the Children's HIV program has cared for hundreds of children, youth, pregnant women and women with HIV and their families. We work with the HIV Program at the American Family Children's Hospital in Madison to care for all Wisconsin children with HIV.
Program social workers and nurses work closely with each patient's primary care provider to ensure that as much care as possible is provided close to home with a familiar provider. We know that care is easier when it is close to home.
Our nurses, social workers and medical providers make home visits and visits to other medical providers to help patients receive coordinated care.
Intensive adherence support
Program nurses, social workers and physicians work closely with patients to help them learn how to take their medications. We help patients pick a time to take their medicines and a safe place to store them. We help patients fit taking medications into their daily routines.
Regularly talking to patients after they start taking medications helps us guide them through any problems. When side effects occur, we are there to assist patients and their families so that medication plans are not interrupted. We make understanding and learning about medications easy by giving patients cards with pictures and names of their drugs.
Transition to adult care services
We work closely with adult care providers to transition youth with HIV to adult care providers at a time that works best for them and their family.
We usually transition in stages. We may start by first transitioning from a pediatric to an adult primary care provider. Once comfortable in the new adult primary care setting, we move their HIV-specific care from a pediatric to an adult HIV specialist.
Our nurses and social workers work with the youth after this transition. We continue to work with the youth until our assistance is no longer needed. This timeframe is different for every young adult making this transition.
Staff from the Children's HIV Program are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If you are a pregnant woman with HIV, Children's nurses and social workers will work with your obstetrician and HIV physician to help you receive the best treatment.
These clinical team members go to your OB and HIV appointments to coordinate care across all settings. We teach the staff of the hospital as well as the mother and baby's medical care providers about the care needs of you and your baby. Our goal is to have pregnant women walk into a delivery room with well-educated staff, facilitating the best delivery experience possible.
Nurses and social workers at Children's Hospital teach the community about HIV infection and its treatment. We teach staff from OB/GYN offices, hospitals that care for pregnant women, primary and specialty care providers and community-based organizations such as day care facilities and schools. We help everyone become comfortable and skilled in caring for children or mothers with HIV.

Reviews of this property
The apartment of Alex and Anastasia was beautiful. It is better than shown in photos and description. We got detailed informations ahead for the procedure when we arrived and have to get the keys from their office, which is nearby the central station. The apartment was just 3 min by foot from there. Furthermore we get very useful informations of hotspots and must seen places in Prague. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay in the heart of Prague. We very recommend this apartment.
We stayed at the hotel over the Easter weekend. The hosts have welcomed us very friendly in their centrally located office. The location is perfect as in the apartment. In Prague 1 you can reach everything on foot anyway. The apartment is also very centrally located. It comes very close to the pictures and was as expected. The beautiful kitchen we liked having the most.
On the whole a nice retreat after extensive sightseeing or partying nights.
Wir waren in der Unterkunft über das Osterwochenende. Die Gastgeber haben uns sehr freundlich in ihren sehr zentral gelegenen Büro begrüßt. Die Lage ist wie bei der Wohnung perfekt. In Prag 1 kann man sowieso alles per Fuß erreichen. Die Wohnung ist ebenfalls sehr zentral. Sie kommt den Bildern sehr nahe und war wie erwartet. Die schöne Küche hat uns mit am meisten gefallen.
Im ganzen ein schöner Rückzugsort nach ausgiebigen Sightseeingtouren oder durchzechten Nächten.
Perfect location, perfect facilities and perfect service!
In particular, the information and advice of the staff are just super! Next time will definitely be back!
Perfekte Lage, perfekte Ausstattung und perfekte Betreuung!
Vor allem die Informationen und Tipps der Angestellten sind einfach super! Nächstes Mal auf jeden Fall wieder!
Absolutely perfect place to stay!
Clean, centrally located to all urban things and in dee apartment everything is there! :) Any time. ..
Absolut perfekte Unterkunft!
Sauber, zentral zu allen städtischen Dingen und in dee Wohnung ist alles vorhanden! :) jederzeit wieder. ..
A lovely home in a very central yet in a quiet street without noise.
But there is a little lack of service, blah. there were only two wine glasses and there may well be 4 pers. So a little more glass also small glass "snaps".
Next time will have to go there will want to stay there again.
En dejlig bolig der ligger meget centralt og alligevel i en stille gade uden støj.
Men der er lidt mangel på service, bla. var der kun 2 vinglas og der kan jo være 4 pers. Så lidt flere glas også små glas til " snapsen".
Næste gang vil skal derned vil vil gerne bo der igen.
Excellent accommodation, spacious, clean and equipped with every comfort. Great location close to Central Station, supermarkets and places of historical tourism, but quiet and peaceful. adjacent to sonagoga, Nove mesto two minute walk, stare mesto to ten minute walk. Underground two minuti.lo highly recommend.
Ottimo alloggio,spazioso,pulito e dotato di ogni comfort. Ottima posizione vicinissimo a stazione centrale,supermercati e luoghi di interesse storico turistico,ma posizione tranquilla e silenziosa . adiacente alla sonagoga, Nove mesto a due minuti a piedi,stare mesto a dieci minuti a piedi. Metropolitana a due minuti.lo consiglio vivamente.
Very nice apartment, which has everything you need. The location of the apartment is very central, so you can walk everywhere.
Would not hesitate to recommend!
Sehr schöne Wohnung, die alles hat, was man braucht. Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr zentral, sodass man alles zu Fuß erreichen kann.
Würde es jederzeit weiterempfehlen!
We had a very good time in this apartment. The office for the key is only 2 minutes walk from the main train station and the apartment too. In a quiet street. Everything in walking distance. For example 15 minutes to the Carls Bridge. Our bikes had a good place inside the apartment. The people at the office where you get the key we were very kind and helpfull.
Definitely a place we would recommand to friends!
Very nice apartment, which is located directly in the city, which makes unnecessary the use of a car (and that saves fuel costs). The entire apartment looks like in the photos, so it is modern, spacious, beautiful to look at and you have all sorts of things that you need for everyday life (also a hair dryer and an iron).
The highlight was of course the bathroom, just beautiful!
Similarly, the communication was with the hosts quite pleasant and you could very easily and quickly pick up the house keys and return.
What was negative, the rather noisy construction activities were directly in the hallway adjacent to the apartment, very early in the morning (this started 7-9 clock in the morning, may I unfortunately no longer remember the exact time). Too bad we were not informed about it, but we were also unclear whether these. Took place directly in the adjacent apartment or in the hallway that had the flats connected In the first case, the host knew probably. nothing about it.
In addition, the parking was a bit awkward, since no separate parking lot was offered and we were in town always had to look for a new parking lot in the middle, which is also, except on weekends, may be slightly more expensive.
I would, despite the two discussed negative aspects to recommend this apartment ever!
Sehr schöne Wohnung, die direkt in der Stadt liegt, was den Gebrauch eines Autos unnötig macht (und das spart Spritkosten!). Die gesamte Wohnung sieht wie auf den Fotos aus, somit ist sie modern, geräumig, schön anzusehen und man hat alle möglichen Dinge, die man für den Alltag braucht (auch einen Fön und ein Bügeleisen).
Das Highlight war natürlich das Badezimmer, einfach wunderschön!
Ebenso war die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern recht angenehm und man konnte sehr einfach und schnell die Hausschlüssel holen und zurückgeben.
Was negativ war, waren die ziemlich lauten Baumaßnahmen direkt in dem Flur, der an die Wohnung angrenzt, sehr früh am morgen (diese fingen zwischen 7 und 9 Uhr morgens an, kann mich leider nicht mehr an die genaue Uhrzeit erinnern). Schade, dass wir nicht darüber informiert wurden, aber es war uns auch unklar, ob diese direkt in der anliegenden Wohnung stattfanden oder in dem Flur, der die Wohnungen verbunden hatte. Bei dem ersten Fall wussten die Gastgeber vllt. nichts davon.
Zudem war das Parken etwas umständlich, da kein separater Parkplatz angeboten wurde und wir mitten in der Stadt immer einen neuen Parkplatz suchen mussten, was auch, außer am Wochenende, etwas teurer werden kann.
Ich würde trotz der zwei erläuterten negativen Aspekte diese Wohnung stets weiterempfehlen!
The apartman is moden and chick set up and what size part was pretty clean. It is centrally located and you can reach on foot super all the important points. Can only recommend it! :)
Das apartman ist moden und chick eingerichtet und was größenteils ziemlich sauber. Es liegt sehr zentral und man kann super zufuß alle wichtigen Punkte erreichen. Kann es nur weiter empfehlen ! :)

I was thinking it might fool the bees in thinking the queen is still in the hive but allowing the resident brood to mature beyond the point of making a queen. Then i could add a queen cell from one of my gentle nucs to place the old queen. Thought it might be easier than tearing two deeps down looking for supersedure cells. Do you think this might work?

Well-located retail property and a childcare centre in Grey Lynn generated plenty of interest and bidding in Bayleys' latest Total Property auction in Auckland.
Seven properties were sold for close to $10 million. The highest price of $3.5 million was paid for two adjoining retail units totalling 826sq m occupied by an Asian supermarket, at 100 Don McKinnon Drive, Albany, which sold at a 7.9 per cent yield.
DH Supermarket has occupied the building, in the Northridge Plaza retail complex across the road from Westfield's Albany Mall, since 2006.
It has exercised a nine-year right of renewal early to take its lease through until 2024.
The property, with three-yearly rent increases based on the Consumer Price Index, was marketed by Damian Stephen and Michael Block of Bayleys North Shore Commercial, James Chan and Quinn Ngo of Bayleys Auckland introducing the buyer.
Some of the strongest bidding at the auction was for another bulk retail outlet, this one a 561sq m unit in The Hub in Ti Rakau Drive, East Tamaki.
Occupied by the Magness Benrow home appliance store, it sold for $1.74 million, more than $100,000 above the "on the market" price announced by auctioneer Richard Valintine. Magness Benrow renewed its lease for a further three years in June last year and the property was sold at a 7.9 per cent yield by Tony Chaudhary and Janak Darji of Bayleys Manukau, in conjunction with James Chan of Bayleys Auckland.
Also attracting spirited bidding at the auction was a restored, early 20th century 144sq m villa at 4 Sherwood Avenue, Grey Lynn, occupied by the Christopher Robin Childcare centre - it was the subject of multiple bids before selling under the hammer for $1.21 million at a 5.25 per cent yield on its six-year lease from 2008.
The lease has two-yearly rent reviews to CPI or market, whichever is greater, and comes with rights of renewal totalling a further 12 years.
Mark Pittaway of Bayleys Auckland, who marketed the property with daughter Rachael Pittaway, says the strong interest and excellent price also reflect the value of the 524sq m site, which has an outdoor playground behind the house.
He says land values in Grey Lynn have risen substantially since the centre was established on the back of surging demand for inner-city residential property.
The Pittaways joined forces with Simon Andrews and Katie Wu of Bayleys Manukau in the mortgagee sale, for $745,000 at a 9.1 per cent yield, of a 413sq m retail unit in the Highland Park shopping centre, off Pakuranga Rd, occupied by Highland Cafe and Bar on a short-term lease.
A 110sq m unit on the ground level of the Metropolis apartment building at 42 High St in Auckland's CBD sold for $1.25 million at an 8.2 per cent yield through Richard Yang and Nicolas Ching of Bayleys Auckland.
It is occupied by the Alp Ice cafe, restaurant and bar on a four-year lease from May 2009 with two four-year rights of renewal.
Over in West Auckland, a two-level building on a 196sq m site at 376 Great North Rd, Henderson, sold for $590,000 at an 8.5 per cent yield through Michael Block and Damian Stephen of Bayleys North Shore Commercial. The ground floor is occupied by a cafe on a three-year lease from June 2011 at $50,000 per annum, with vacant office space upstairs
A 361sq m unit at 701M Great South Rd, Penrose, with warehouse, mezzanine, showroom and office space, sold with vacant possession for $535,000 through James Hill and James Valintine of Bayleys Auckland.

Ok, one of my hive swarmed the other day. I Was so sad but it was a sight to see. It sounded so loud.
anyways, i just looked in the hive and there are queen cells stil in there. Should i destroy them and requeen or leave them. The hive is russians form kellys.
Second question, i open my other hive of russians, same from kellys, and there are alot of drone cells and alot of drones. What would you do. Are they too gonna swarm. Should i kil off all the drone cells. I am building a super right now to hopfully stop them from swarming.
Last question. How do i stop the queen from laying in my honey supper without and excluder. i would like to not use them as i hear it can make the bees not go up in the honey super but she keeps getting in the top super. The hive is 2 fulls and one shallow. Any suggestions or do i have to use a excluder

Bad news in the euro zone: Germany's economy contracts
posted at 12:01 pm on January 15, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
Despite the euro zone's various bureaucracies wheeling and dealing in bailouts, stimulus efforts, and "austerity" programs for years now, they haven't really managed to move the collective needle on coming up with long-term substantive initiatives for solving their members' metastasized debt problems.
Plenty of Europeans seem to hold the blasé, zero-sum notion that Germany should just stop being so darn tight-fisted and simply share the wealth of their relatively sane fiscal management, but even Germany isn't immune from the effects of the EU's long-term poor fiscal policies. The WSJ reports that Germany has finally succumbed to the economic weakness pervading the rest of the euro zone, registering a contraction in the fourth quarter that likely means the common currency shared the same fate:
Germany's federal statistics office Destatis Tuesday said Europe's largest economy expanded 0.7% in 2012, but its gross domestic product probably fell by 0.5% in the fourth quarter. …
That equates to a contraction of 2.0% in annualized terms, JP Morgan estimates. …
Compounding the problems for Germany, the government is cutting its 2013 economic growth forecast to 0.4% from 1.0% previously, a German economics ministry official told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. …
The euro-zone economy contracted in both the second and third quarters as austerity programs and rising unemployment ensured that output fell in large members such as Spain and Italy. …
But those contractions in other parts of the euro zone, and less favorable export markets, finally took their toll in the final three months of the year. And when it came, Germany's economic downturn was deeper than expected, as the majority of private-sector economists had penciled in a quarterly drop in GDP of 0.2% or 0.3%.
The general wisdom (of which I am wildly skeptical, for the record) seems to be that the German economy could rebound fairly quickly, since the absolute worst of the euro zone's immediate economic crisis may perhaps be over as uncertainty wanes and investments and exports recover as other areas of the global economy strengthen.
But, the fact remains that the euro zone is still ripe with miserable economic conditions (Spain's current unemployment rate stands at over 25 percent!), the endemic fiscal problems aren't fixed, and the reigning sense of entitlement will always take a massive chunk out of would-be robust prosperity. Most unfortunately, as The Economist recently lamented, this type of systematic political can-kicking is already a transatlantic sport:
FOR the past three years America's leaders have looked on Europe's management of the euro crisis with barely disguised contempt. In the White House and on Capitol Hill there has been incredulity that Europe's politicians could be so incompetent at handling an economic problem; so addicted to last-minute, short-term fixes; and so incapable of agreeing on a long-term strategy for the single currency.
Those criticisms were all valid, but now those who made them should take the planks from their own eyes. America's economy may not be in as bad a state as Europe's, but the failures of its politicians—epitomised by this week's 11th-hour deal to avoid the calamity of the "fiscal cliff"—suggest that Washington's pattern of dysfunction is disturbingly similar to the euro zone's in three depressing ways.
… The euro crisis deepened because Europe's politicians serially failed to solve the single currency's structural weaknesses, resorting instead to a succession of temporary fixes, usually negotiated well after midnight. America's problems are different. Rather than facing an imminent debt crisis, as many European countries do, it needs to deal with the huge long-term gap between tax revenue and spending promises, particularly on health care, while not squeezing the economy too much in the short term.

Kids health benefit from underground power lines (instead of overhead poles).
Original post made by Tina, Palo Verde, on Jan 24, 2013
Web Link
Thanks for the great article. I want to point out one more issue about power lines.
Children exposed to high level of magnetic fields have higher chances to develop brain cancer and leukemia. This is especially important for sleeping areas.
Overhead power lines are more dangerous than you might think! Although they are not as strong as high voltage towers, they're much closer to residential homes. Magnetic field inside a home under power poles might be as high as 2-3 milligauss (you can easily test it with this: Web Link).
Underground power lines are much better for EMF (Web Link):
"A study prepared by eight major New York State utilities showed that when a 345 kV transmission line is placed in steel pipe filled with oil and buried at a depth of five feet, the strength of the magnetic field measured one metre above the ground over the pipe is only about 1 mG during normal current flow, as compared with magnetic field strengths as high as 60 mG that can be measured at the edge of a 100 foot right-of-way for an overhead 345 kV transmission line."
Vote to continue the underground project, for our children's health!

As long as my compass points north, I'm pretty sure the natural magnetic field (500 milligauss) is much stronger than whatever artificial sources are nearby.
a resident of Leland Manor/Garland Drive

While this is all a good point, the power lines are actually too far overhead to make much of an impact. The larger problem is electrical appliances in the home, especially those at kitchen counter level. They line up with adults' abdomens and children's heads.
This told to me by my father, a retired physicist, long ago.

If you test with the EMF meter (the Amazon link in the original post), you'll see the natural magnetic field is much smaller (around 0.1-0.2mg) without an overhead pole. It gets much bigger (5-100mg) with an overhead pole.
As to home appliance, the magnetic field decrease very quickly, although utility companies always want to claim that the home magnetic fields are from home appliance instead of power line. From my testing, the magnetic field is almost at the background level (0.1-0.2mg) if you're a few feet away from the appliance. Besides, people usually don't sleep or spend 8 hours a day close to fridge or microwave.

The City's argument for not putting anymore power lines underground is it is too difficult and expensive to repair them. Meanwhile, North Palo Alto has about three-quarters of their utility wires under-grounded while South Palo Alto has about one-quarter under-grounded.
So, it's now time to stop under-grounding because South Palo Alto is not important enough!!

I would think underground would be worse. I became somewhat electrically sensitive I can tell all types of things now people are amazed . Anyway I lived in 4 diffrent homes in last 10 yrs 3 with overhead felt fine the one with underground I felt lousy could be coincidence but I was thinking cause all these houses are so close together and there are so many houses that there's alot of power going underground so the electrical just strays to other metal pipes such as water and gas pipes now you have a ton of stray electricity just getting amplified from pipe to pipe then you also loose the connection to the earths natural field, no?

I'm trying to decide whether to re-use some medium drawn frames that went through a wax moth invasion. I don't have a freezer to put the comb in but I do have a strong hive I could at least put a super of the damaged comb on. This has been a sobering experience for me...
When I went to pull supers for my first extracting I thought I would have a good four, maybe five supers...instead I only had three. I was staggered when I opened the hive...wax moths! :( The hive was a total lost, the bees having already absconded. The frames had cocoons stuck to them and you could tell where they had chewed the wood. This had been a problematical hive with swarming and becoming queenless. I had requeened it back about a month ago...I got this colony back in February. It had only been about two and a half weeks since I last inspected it and regardless of the problems it had encountered it still managed to put up almost two complete supers of honey. In the last inspection I only went down to the bottom super being as everything was looking good with two supers about filled and much of them capped. Apparently the moths were down in the brood chamber then. My fault. My fault. :(
The brood combs are a total loss...nasty, nasty, nasty. The only up side is that that takes care of half of my 10-frame deeps, only one more to go and I'll be all 8-frame mediums. :o
The medium combs have damage but some only appear slightly damaged with others damaged enough that I've already pulled what decent looking wax was on them off and got it in my little styrofoam wax melter. Most of the ones that "look ok" have some frass and web along the bottom bar groove and I've dug larvae out of the grooves. There may be a little frass and web hanging on the end bars.
My question is in regards to using the comb that "looks ok". Naturally I'm worried about putting an overload of moth eggs into a healthy hive. Will the bees clean these frames up sufficiently? Would I be better off to just take my whipping and scrap the comb and solarize the frames?
A side note: The brood chamber was a total lost and had NOT been treated with Bt. The two supers had both been sprayed, along with the frames and *foundation*. These were still damaged, but not as severely as the deep frames of the brood chamber. There was some pollen and brood in some of the medium frames and these were damaged the worst. The new boxes and frames with pollen had all been sprayed with Bt to the point of dripping. Reading back through things it appears that the wax moth larvae has to take a bite of *something* with the Bt on it...spraying the foundation appears to be useless. I'm curious about those chewed places on the frames, though, I should have kept a few with the cocoons intact to see what happened to the larvae.
This has been my worst honey bee so far... :(
Anyhow, should I ditch the comb or stick on top of a hive? :s
Here are some of the frames I'm curious about. I've cleaned them up some more and cut a few bad places out. That blasted web is hard to get off in places and they are very adept at burying/hiding those cocoons. In the first picture below there is (was) a larvae beneath that crumbled up looking frass tucked up under the comb in the bottom groove. I ended up cutting the bottom 1/3 of comb out of some of the frames...

Two senior members of the Hope College women's golf team have received national honors from the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA).
Lacey Wicksall of Traverse City (Traverse City Central HS) has been named a second team Division III All-American for the second time in her career while Sarah Scholten of Grand Rapids (GR Christian HS) is being honored as All-Academic Scholar Athlete for a third consecutive year.
Wicksall culminated her collegiate career earlier this month by competing in the NCAA Division III national championships for the third time. In 2001 she was voted the Division III national freshman of the year after achieving All-America honors with a 15th place finish at the NCAA tournament. As a sophomore she finished 22nd at nationals and this spring was 44th. She was a three-time All-MIAA golfer.
Scholten lettered four years and was co-captain of the team her senior year. She achieved All-MIAA second team honors as a junior. Scholten majored in chemistry and psychology.

Pamela Stadus casts glass sculpture in sand moulds, a method similar to that used for casting metal. In this process, a negative impression made in the surface of tray of sand becomes the positive or raised relief of the final work.
Stadus' works are often blocky or columnar and should be viewed frontally, a format well suited to the sand-casting process. Within the clear matrix of these forms she sets graphic motifs, figurative forms or, as here, simple still life compositions.
The internal motifs are 'prefabricated' in coloured glass and suspended in the mould prior to the pour of molten glass. In this way, they appear to float in a watery inner realm.

whittles has a lot of "civil war" type fabric and you just can't beat their prices.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
whittles has a lot of "civil war" type fabric and you just can't beat their prices.
klue- what do you think is a good estimate on the over-all cost if I purchase fabric around $9.00 a yd? Would it be around $171.00? That sounds too low. It would be a king, maybe queen if we downsize our next mattress for our small room.
I'm all ready for it to commence! Still practiceing my software. For a dummy, some of it is not to clear but I'm trying. Doing cream colored muslin and scrappy. Going to be fun!!!!
i designed my quilt in the software and soup to nuts (not including a back but it does include the sashing, scallop border, and the binding) it says i should buy about 25 yards of fabric.
so if you went with that estimate you're looking at $225 or so in fabric costs.
i think the software is easier if you are already used to EQ (its really just EQ lite).Originally Posted by Janstar
if you've never worked with EQ its best to do the exercises that come with the Dear Jane Software Book (its included with the software purchase).
Kelly - thank you so much for putting this together! I'm going to print out the lists and study them hard! I think I have a good start on things, but we'll see.
I plan to use all modern prints for my colors, although I will say my off-white I've chosen is a bit old-school. Still pretty though.
Let the games begin! and KLue - you are amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! :!:
I'm in! I'll be doing my Jane in batiks & muslin.
If we are not sure if we're adding the triangles to our quilt, can we do those in the end? I have a 2.5 inch acrylic but I'm thinking that the larger triangle ruler will be a must. I'm doing a scrappy 30s (eventually :lol: ).
Wouldn't you know I am new to EQ and have misplaced my software book! I'm tearing the house apart looking for it.
I would love to join in, just don't know if I have the focus to last that long in doing it.
At the moment I can't afford any of the supplies either, The fabric I could probably use what I have, but no rulers or software or pattern.

I am pretty sure that if you check Greene, you'll find that this is the formula for obtaining the 2-way error components estimate for a balanced panel using mean deviations. If the panel is unbalanced, the mean-deviation approach requires calculations that are somewhat more involved. Baltagi's book "Econometric Analysis of Panel Data" has a discussion of this.

Kansas Raises Its Educational Bar: Other States Expected to Follow
Original post made by Frank Baum, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Feb 20, 2013
House Bill 2306, introduced last week, says science classes must "provide information to students of scientific evidence which both supports and counters a scientific theory or hypothesis."
The bill says instruction about "scientific controversies" should be objective and include "both the strengths and weaknesses of such scientific theory or hypothesis." The only controversy identified in the bill is "climate science."
Asked repeatedly what objective evidence might be used as counter to prevalent theories of global warming, Committe members refused to say and instead looked down at their shoes until one mentioned his cousin Eddy Rigglesford in Maine who said they had a colder than usual winter last year.
At least one other bill currently in the Education Committee would mandate changes in Kansas' curriculum standards.
That bill would force the State Board of Education to abandon math and English standards that it adopted in 2010. Too many of these standards are thought to obstruct students' Christian religious beliefs and training regimens.
Under Article VI of the Constitution, the State Board of Education has "general supervision of public schools, educational institutions and all the educational interests of the state" except matters covered by the Kansas Board of Regents.
The board sets standards for teaching various subjects, though decisions on specific curriculums are left to local school boards.

I hope we include global warming in our Science standards. I saw an interview with the Japanese Prime Minister last year and he laughed hysterically when a reporter asked him if he believed in global warming. His response was something such as "This is a dead issue in Japan. We look at Science and Science says it is fact". Web Link

And please, please, why can't we elevate Fox news commentators and paid off 'analysts' onto the same plane as science in order to legitimize the controversy? Who cares what science says, Eddie Rigglesford in Maine says otherwise.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
MUV, Your doll quilt is very lovely!
Very nice. Have just started collecting vintage machines. Will be getting my Singer 66 back, in working order, this week. My goal is to make a quilt on each machine.
Your doll quilt is pretty!
Nancy and Muv. Your quilts are beautiful. Nancy yours sure would brighten up any childs room. Muv you quilting is so different from what I am used to. So very pretty.
Quilting with a friend keeps me in stitches.
Here is a quilt I have made for a friend of DH. The grew uptogether here in WV. This part of WV has thousands of people named Lilly. So his friend asked me to make a quilt with the Lilly Coat of Arms in the middle. So here is a picture of just the top. I tried to use all the vintage block patterns because of the name being so old. The first block is a cross stitched story of how Lilly got here. The Coat of Arms is all cross stitched. I used a Brother electric machine a lady gave to me I think it dates late 70's or early 80's. Just wanted to try it out and see why she wanted to get rid of it. Found out it was mostly dirty and needed oiling.

What a great quilt and such a beautiful job on the cross stitch. Love it
