Agreed - the release summary Rahul just posted definitely provides information about more features which is a great thing, and merging would seem the sensible idea inline with the the work discussed on Docs and here lately. I could use some help with the merge though, as I see the two documents to serve two different purposes. I wrote the one I did with the explicit intention of it being brief and easily "scannable" by press and lay press a-like; the release notes, on the other hand, seem to provide more information relevant to users and contributors of Fedora and is certainly busier, perhaps leaving more work for press people to do to find the information they need. What do people think about this? Any suggestions? Do we even need a briefer summary for the Alpha release? Jon

Only fourteen percent of Americans approve of the job the U.S. Congress is doing, according to a new CNN poll released Thursday.
While that number is a record low, we're curious … why isn't it lower?
Seriously … fiscal conservatives are furious that House Republicans sold them down the river during the recent debt debate (sort of like they sold us down the river during the shutdown debate). Meanwhile, liberals are furious at Democrats in the U.S. Senate for agreeing to miniscule future cuts.
Independents? They're just feeling jerked around … again.
Congress has never been popular. In fact, over the last five years its approval rating (according to CNN's polling, anyway) has never been higher than 35 percent. But voters of both parties are clearly more fed up than usual these days … and honestly, who can blame them?
The CNN poll was conducted by telephone on August 1. It surveyed 860 adult Americans and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

"Carmello Anthony Goes to Madison Square Garden." That's been a dominant headline in New York news this week, but the only story we're jazzed about at Tiny Prints is "On Mondays, Look Forward to Coming In," an interview with our very own co-founder, Laura Ching.
Since this article came out on Sunday, I wanted to write this post but the week has gotten away from me. Partly I wanted to write about the article just to see Laura blush even more for being in the spotlight, but mainly I wanted to write this to acknowledge my pride for a dear friend who is a clear MVP here at Tiny Prints.
I thought the article did a really great job of capturing the key points that I know Laura would have wanted to publicize, but also of conveying Laura's humble style and honest personality. Laura typifies the management team here at Tiny Prints—young, learning on the job and compensating for what we lack in years of experience with a strong work ethic and commitment to learn things the first time around. She did a wonderful job touching upon both key business decisions we've made and the more warm and fuzzy nature of our culture—all true reflections of who we are as people and as a company.
I love that the reporter chose the Look Forward to Mondays angle. If you've read past posts, you'll know that is one of our six core cultural values. It's one of my personal favorites because it gives meaning to so much of what we want to accomplish and speaks to the other five values. What could a company do to actually have folks look forward to Mondays? Is that possible?
For myself and Laura and many others, it is possible—but not easy. There has to be a purpose, a higher purpose than simply making money, competing, etc. We have to instill a passion to win, at any cost except what would cause internal competition. We must have fun, celebrate, create friendships. We must love what we do, whether it is the creativity of the product, the challenge of the technology, the love of pleasing people. If even one more person than those I know that actually do look forward Monday came up to me and said that they genuinely don't dread Sunday nights, I would be filled with more pride than just about anything else that we've accomplished as a company.
Finally, my favorite quote in the article—"As soon as I saw you, I said, 'basketball player.'" Absolutely brilliant, considering Laura is 5 foot 2 in heels and weighs about as much her five year old son…

I feel that Pennsylvania needs to rethink its helmet law. Many lives can be saved and serious head injuries may be prevented by wearing a helmet.
I used to live i Erie and a couple of friends of mine were seriously injured, one of whom is still effected with motor function issues from riding without a simple item such as a halmet

Now the poor Amish people will be on the bikers hit list.
United States
#3 Jul 27, 2008
oh no,now we are going to ban buggies?
#4 Jul 27, 2008
What kind of negligence does it take to have your horse decide to break free and take off down the road?
Note the complete lack of investigation or suggestion of complicity towards the Amish who failed to secure their animal, thus resulting in a death.
Was the poor animal tied up there all day? Did it have food and water?
#6 Jul 27, 2008
The PA law gives the right for those to choose wear helmet or not. Just like you have the right to smoke, 100x more people die from smoking related problems then by not wearing a helmet but you are still allowed to smoke. Your Choice to smoke if you are a smoker. 100x more people die from alcohol related traffic accidents but they still sell alcohol. Helmets my save some lives but not all. In most motorcycle related deaths the operator or passenger dies from blunt force trauma to the torso not head.
#7 Jul 27, 2008
This is taken right out of my $200 HJC Full face motorcycle helmet manual " Your helmet is only designed for one impact. An impact may fracture the outer shell of compress the impact absorbing liner. You may not be able to detect this damage.
Any impact in a crash or a drop from as low
as 4 feet is enough to damage your helmet.
Does a helmet that can be damage from 4 feet sound like it will protect you in a accident.
The choice is yours not someone elses to make for you. You choose to smoke or you don't ( if you smoke that is )you have the right to choose a lot of things that others may think maybe dangerous but it your choice you make.
#8 Jul 27, 2008
Not all bikers wear colors. A matter of fact less then 1% of them do. As for the Amish it depends what sec. you are from. Most of them around here wear black and blue for men and women wear grays
#9 Jul 27, 2008
States that require helmets also need to consider the life long paralysis that can result from the extra mass that the human neck is incapable of supporting in an accident that would whip ones head around. Such an incident is the cause of death for Dale Earnhardt, and NASCAR has taken precautions to prevent the helmet from being the cause (or contributor) to death. PA has recognized this, wether they admit it or not. Helmets are a double edged sword. Some accidents they are lifesavers and some they can kill or paralyze. It is a very touchy subject with such unique circumstances i dont think either side has a strong enough case. If you cannot see past that, you shouldnt be arguing.

wanna see my sons helmet and then see if you still feel lives arent saved by wearing a helmet. recently he had a horrible motorcycle accident. he was wearing his helmet. the helmet shows what wouldve been his skull/brain injuries!! wait till it happens to you,or a loved one/friend...then see how you will think differently, especially when you have a trach in your throat and cough and choke on blood clots!

This was an unfortunate ACCIDENT and WHY would the bikers put the Amish on any hit list? Skippy you are freaking stupid to even say this. It is obvious to me that the Amish should and probably will be given a ticket for unsecured buggy.
Sad day for the families and my thoughts and prayers go out to them.

In most motorcycle related deaths the operator or passenger dies from blunt force trauma to the torso not head.
in most cases it IS head injuries........and injuries to the thyroid cartelege bone/adams apple/larynax that fractures off and goes down the windpipe resulting in immediate death. talk to any ENT dr and see for yourself what they know!
#14 Jul 27, 2008
Okay this topic went completely off topic, i think the question remains, what caused this horse to get off the tyes that held it to cause this accident that killed a man.
Thats the bottom line, what was the cause? we know the effect, the fact that he was or was not wearing a helmet is not relivent, the fact that he is dead is, and the fact the somehow for some reason this horse got lose & caused him to wreck is, so lets investigate that? shall we?
To each their own, to wear a helmet is to wear a seat belt! your choice !
#15 Jul 27, 2008
Something you should have worn that would have prevented your adult baby disorder.
#16 Jul 27, 2008
1st off,
Helmets do NOT protect against "Thyroid" injuries? I am completely unaware of what this has to do with helmets? The thyroid is located in the center of the neck in the front! I havent seen a helmet that would protect against this injury! Plus i didnt think we were talking about decapitating anyone!
Blunt force trauma to the head is when the skull cracks under undue pressure from impact!
Actually, its blunt force trauma to the chest walls, causing broken bones to sever the lungs, heart and other vital organs! Or damage to the spinal cord that causes quadreplegic or paraplegic results!
The skull is tough, it can stand alot of impact, its like its own shell that protects our brain.
Blunt force trauma to the head is seen more in motor vehichle accidents then in motorcycle accidents.
Bikers get tossed from their bikes, hitting something, either the ground or a tree or a vehichle, they don't fly into mid air & land on their heads! Well not any accidents that i have seen anyway!
<-- Nurse of 18 yrs.
Again choice of the biker, just like its a choice of mine to wear or not to wear a ticket, don't wear it get caught pay $50, wear it , wreck & crush my chest, puncture my lungs & die ! Either way i seem to lose something!
United States

read up on what the thyroid cartlege bone is...it has NOTHING to do withthe thyroid and my son WAS wearing his helmet. the cartlege bone is also known as the adams apple and helemts DO protect from the event of a head injury..like i said want to see the condition of my son's helmet?? if some dummy wants to take his or her helmet for a ride behind them while they go without one, i dont want to be there to watch the paramedics scrape your brains off of the road. WHY risk injury of this type?? just wait till you see your kid in ICU and you help him change the inner canula of his trach in his neck and you worry if he will be able to breathe let alone talk again and see how you feel then! or watch your loved one that will never be able to walk again. wear the helmet. and why did that horse get loose? will the people responsible be charged with neglect in keeping their animal under control? i will not read or post here again, my son needs me more than the losers on hee do. God Bless you who have loved ones that dont wear helmets. my son wore his helmet and it did save his life, he had a serious injury, but i still have my son.

Skippy you ODB go home momma is calling!! No playing with bikers for you!
#22 Jul 28, 2008
Lives are saved by wearing helmets, but my guess is your sons helmet is scuffed because he just started riding. Why dont you ride for 20 years and see 3 of your friends die from motorcycle related accidents, all of which were not their fault. Two of them died from the helmet, and the other died due to blood loss from an object on the road that peirced a leather jacket. When you see that, then tell me that EVERYONE should wear a helmet. It is a gamble, just like getting in the car, walking to work, or swimming in lake erie.
#24 Jul 28, 2008
I knew him. He will be with his brother. Don't blame the Amish........or lack of a helmet. I believe in helmets, but the fact of the matter is that it is as freak of an accident as a baby rolling over in bed and suffocating. Send prayers, well wishes, but please don't argue. He is with his brother, Brian, now. That's all that matters.
#25 Jul 29, 2008
I've been in the EMS system for 20 years now. I have seen patients that would have been better off with a helmet and some that had injuries that no helmet would have fixed. I've witnessed injuries that would make the averages Joe's head spin and 1 biker patient who was decapitated. The bottom line is...as long as there are high speed motor vehicles and careless, disrespectful drivers, there will be accidents causing injury. As for the helmet laws...it has been proven that without helmets, the number of significant head injuries has increased substantially. Am I for or against helmets??? It doesn't really matter...the biker or motor vehicle operator is in charge of his own fate. Bikers are conscious, decision-making adults and know the consequences of their actions. They and their families are the ones who must live with those decisions!
My prayers go out to the family of the deceased biker and to all those killed in motor vehicle accidents. May God Bless You and Watch Over You!

Dont forget it blocks your vision, blocks your hearing and forces your IQ down 20 points... Just how dumb is this "paralysis" argument? Even ABATE acknowledges that you should where a lid.. they just fight for the choice.. Personally , you choice not to wear a helmet just helps clean up the gene pool..

Nope, still like originals better.
-see on Ebay: the new retrofitable quasi-replica 17" x 8" version of original C3 15" x 8" Corvette Rally-wheels, which makes for an interesting option; -although providing better roadability for a heavy car, -will probably ride harsher on expensive super low-profile tires! Chrome-plated apparently in liew of available beauty-rings; -whatdo'ya-think?...
(click to see while on auction) ~Bob vH
-Thanks for the below exemplary pix of these 17"/Rally-wheels (w/chrome rim portion and painted centers to closely approximate original look); --which I visually much like better than the comparative AmericanRacing/alum.spoke-wheels (most people would think them stock, -but wonder why they seem to look better!). However, as Zwede mentions, -the 16-lb per wheel reduced unsprung weight of the latter, is definitely significantly advantageous to improved road handling by more quickly responding to undulations in the road-surface, and one would feel a chuck-hole less harshly as the lighter-weight would jounce-up and back down more easily! Oh decisions, decisions...!!! ~Bob vH
Nope, still like originals better.
I used to have these on my '71. Looked great and rode better than the 15's. I didn't like the feeling of the tall sidewall with 255/60-15 tires. Felt mushy. I used 255/50-17 tires. Handled great also. Only drawback to those rims is the weight. They weigh 35 lbs each, and 66 lbs complete with tire.
I recently switched to American Racing CL205's. These look like the old Torque Thrust D's but are 2 piece and can be had up to 20". I went with 17x8. The American Racings weigh much less at 20 lbs each. For 4 wheels that a 60 lbs difference!
BTW, some pics of the 17" rallys:
And here are the new American racing:
Those A/R CL205's are pretty nice looking and the 17x8's fill the wheelwells up really nice as well. BTW that 's a really sharp looking 71 Shark you got there Zwede, I personally like the color as it is the same color as my 77.
I like them very much, they are on my wish list for the future.
Thanks. The color is '97 Vette torch red. The 255/50-17's have the same overall diameter as the stock wheels. I had to clearence the front fender lips like the factory did on later C3's.Originally posted by C3forME

Next year I plan on looking into ways of rearing a few queens. I would like input on a few things and maybe a few questions answered.
I was watching the fatbeeman's youtube video and how he rears queens. I was thinking about taking an empty medium frame and placing it into the brood nest (deep). After 3-4 days go back in and see if it has been filled. If so take it out and attach queen cups to the bottom of the frame and graft in larvae. Place back into a queenless nuc (deep). I don't need a ton of queens. I just need a few to fill nucs/splits/requeen. Does this sound like a feasible plan? This way I don't have to make special frames. Also will the brood survive all this or will it die from being chilled? Should I attach the cups to the frame before or after I put it in the egg donor hive? It would be easier if I could do it before, but I am not sure if those empty cups would have any effect on the hive.
So my next question is what do I do with all the queens that I don't immediately need? I don't really want to invest on a fancy queen castle. I am a small time hobbiest that hopes to keep 5-10 hives without buying anymore bees. Any creative solutions? Take an 8 frame box and split it in 4?

Half devil and miles from anything resembling heroic, perpetual underdog Frank "Triggaltheron" Trigg is the last man standing against Armageddon. As the favorite nephew of the devil, Frank has led a troubled life, but he'd always had his uncle's influence to fall back on. Now, with God and Lucifer coming to terms and leaving existence to fend for itself, his once exalted status of Antichrist-to-be does little to endear him to the hordes of angels and demons running amok in the godless world.
With help from the members of DRAC, an organization of wizards, psychics, telepaths, and low-end supernatural beings, Frank must thwart the pro-Armageddon forces and rescue an angel in whose life rests the fate of humanity. Better luck next time, humanity.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
An excellent amalgamation of witty humor and despicable violence, this first book in a series is addictive and intelligent. If you tossed Dogma and Donnie Darko into a cement mixer, you might come close. masterfully narrated by Noah Michael Levine (one of my personal favorites) there's plenty of action, tears, affrontery,and seriously awesome imagery, it's impossible not to love this series, no matter what your genre preferences are!
"A great audio version of one of my favorite books!"
I am a big fan of this author, having read books in most of his other series, and even having beta read a couple for him. That being said, I read this before I even knew who he was. It is an excellent start to the series, Starrring the Devils's favorite nephew, who is part of an organization trying to keep the supernatural forces of the world, mostly angels and Demons, in check after God and Lucifer decide to depart for parts unknown and abandon the Earth. Shockingly, The arch Demons and angels vie for control of the Earth. This leads our wisecracking hero into a series of scrapes he sometimes only barely escapes. The plot is fast moving, never lagging, and the characters are engaging, both heroes and villains alike. I would recommend this book to any fans of slightly darker urban fantasy. Noah Michael Levine Does a great job of bringing the characters to life.
"Dumb, Slow, doing!"
nothing to like. story was uninteresting, the narration felt like 1940's radio, and the characters where unlikable.
I don't really care about the $1.99 that I paid, I just want this book out of my library.
The characters just plain sucked. The idea for the story had promise, and I wanted to like it, but after forcing myself to listen until chapter 10, I gave up. If I could give fewer stars than one, I would.

If there's one New Zealand woman who has been able to pick up the shattered pieces of her life and move on to a brighter future, it is Anna Guy.
The former wife of farmer Ewen Macdonald – the man accused of murdering her brother Scott Guy – has now become a household name following the gripping and emotional trial of her husband and her new media career.
And it's clear from the happy expression on Anna's face while she shares a joke with her new partner, marketing executive Brent Jameson (32), that starting a new life in Auckland agrees with the mother of four.
She told TV3's current affairs show 3rd Degree last week she has no regrets leaving Feilding and moving herself and her children to Auckland, where she is living on the North Shore in a house owned by Brent.
Brent – who is formerly of Dannevirke and is now a senior marketing specialist with financial services company AMP – has helped Anna through the worst crisis of her life when her husband was charged and later acquitted of Scott's murder.
Brent's mum Joan Jameson is clearly fond of Anna, saying her son was "getting on really well – they're very happy." Joan says she met Anna frequently and she was "lovely".
"I'm not feeling guilty at all for being in love," Anna told the current affairs show, adding that her children, Finn (9), Jack 8), Lucy (6) and Wade (4) are enjoying having someone new in their lives.
Anna is also making the most of new career opportunities that have come from being in the spotlight, and rejects criticism she has exploited her tragedy.
"I haven't thought I'm riding in on Scott or Ewen's wave at all. But that happens to be my past," she told 3rd Degree. She has not looked for the broadcasting opportunities which have come her way, including a segment on a local radio station, working with the team at 3rd Degree and also helping to present a lifestyle programme.
"Life is short so you might as well do what you want to do," she says. "I want to be known as Anna Guy, not Ewen Macdonald's ex-wife."
With her ex-husband still serving time in prison, Anna has pointed out that it's been left up to her to care for the children. "I need a job and I'm a single mother," she said. "If I've got a choice about what I'm going to do, I'm not going to take on a job that I'm not happy in because if I'm not happy, my kids aren't happy."
She believes her marriage would have ended regardless of Ewen's murder charge. "Ewen with his lies would have come out – whether it was then or five years later."
She doesn't know whether he would be capable of killing her brother, but said that the jury should have been made aware of the allegations of arson, vandalism and killing calves.
"I don't have to have him in my life. He can see the kids sometimes and ring them, write a letter, but he's not going to be an everyday part of our lives."
After the heartache of the past two and a half years, she finally has her spark back.

Housing Refinance Program Offered By Federal Agencies Hopes To Help The Ailing Housing Market
It's amazing how much money can be saved by refinancing. Hopefully this is able to help many people across the country.
In the government's latest attempt to address the ailing housing market, President Obama will announce changes to a federal program Monday that will make it easier for struggling homeowners to refinance to today's near-record low rates.
Under the new program, homeowners who owe more on their homes than they are worth will be able to refinance no matter how much they are underwater, as long as they are current on their payments.
The revamped Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) will also streamline the refinancing process, doing away with certain types of appraisals and underwriting requirements, and reducing or eliminating fees that prevented homeowners from refinancing in the past.
More than 890,000 homeowners have already refinanced under the HARP program, which is available to borrowers with loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that were originated before May 31, 2009. But hundreds of thousands more could not qualify — mainly because of the previous 125% loan-to-value limit on the program or because banks would not take on the risk.
via Housing refinance program offered by federal agencies – Oct. 24, 2011.

Genre Lesson: Fantasy
Lesson Plan
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe | 940L
- Learning Goal
- Identify the fantastical elements in a work of fantasy fiction.
- Duration
- Approximately 2 Days (50 minutes); Independent Practice-Ongoing
- Necessary Materials
- Provided: Elements of Fantasy Chart: Popular Fiction, Fantasy Finder 1, Fantasy Finder 2, Elements of Fantasy page (Student Packet, pp. 2-3)
Not Provided: Chart paper, markers, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
Activation & Motivation
Select two student volunteers to play "Two Truths and a Lie". Have each student share two statements about themself that are true and one statement that is a lie. It is the job of the student volunteers to think of a realistic or convincing lie so that the class will have a difficult time guessing if the statement is a truth or a lie. It is the job of the other students in the class to guess which statement is the lie by asking the student "yes" or "no" questions. The teacher will conclude the game by also stating two truths and a lie about his or herself. The teacher's lie will be a fantastical statement. For example:
- My car broke down this morning.
- I love getting gifts at Christmas.
- I was born with small goat horns.
Ask students which statement is a lie and to explain how they know. Obviously, students will agree that # 3 is a lie, because it is impossible. There is no such thing as a goat/human hybrid, except in Fantasy Fiction.
Teacher Modeling
will define "Fantasy" as a genre of fictional stories not restricted to reality and record the definition on the board or chart paper. I will explain that some aspects of Fantasy are realistic, but what makes Fantasy a unique genre are the imaginative, fantastical elements. I will introduce the genre Fantasy Fiction to the class by comparing and contrasting it with Realistic Fiction. While the volunteers in the game "Two Truths and a Lie" chose realistic lies that were as believable as the truths, I chose a lie that was absolutely impossible. Similarly, Realistic Fiction includes fictional (not real) stories that seem realistic or possible, while Fantasy Fiction has imaginary and fantastical elements where anything is possible. Therefore, it is important to recognize fantastical elements, to distinguish Fantasy Fiction from other genres.
What are the elements of Fantasy Fiction? I will list the elements on chart paper: magical objects, imaginary places, invented languages, nonhuman characters, myths, and a good vs. evil plot line. I will note that all of the elements will not be included in one story, but one or more are necessary to be considered a fantasy. As I list the elements on chart paper, I will provide popular examples for each fantastical element. Each example will clarify what it means to identify fantastical elements in literature. For example, in The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's ruby slippers are examples of magical objects. They protect Dorothy from harm with magical protective powers. These are not realistic shoes but instead important to the journey that Dorothy is about to take in the novel. See Elements of Fantasy Chart: Popular Fiction for an example.
I will model identifying fantastical elements by reading the first excerpt from the Fantasy Finder 1. I will do this by identifying a fantastical detail in the story. I will classify that detail as one of the elements of Fantasy Fiction (magical objects, imaginary places, invented languages, nonhuman characters, myths, or a good vs. evil plot line), and I will probe further by describing this fantastical element. I will describe its appearance, its purpose, and its relation to characters by locating any explicit information about this magical detail I can find in the text.
Think Check
Ask: "How can I identify whether a story is Fantasy?" Students should answer that there should be magical creatures, impossible objects, mythical places, invented language, or a good vs. evil plot line, to be considered Fantasy Fiction.
Guided Practice
will read the excerpts on the Fantasy Finder 2. This handout has four excerpts from fantasy stories. Below each excerpt, we will record any fantastical details we find in the text and we will classify them according to the Fantasy elements charted earlier. As we examine each excerpt, we will discuss what makes each detail fantastical. We will locate and discuss the explicit information in the text about these magical or unrealistic details.
Independent Practice
will receive a Student Packet. Throughout the Fantasy Unit, you will fill in your Student Packet as you read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. You will start by identifying the fantastical objects, words, nonhuman characters, and aspects of setting in Chapters 1-4 of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. You will record your findings on the Elements of Fantasy page in your Student Packet. (See pp. 2-3 in the Student Packet.) You will also use this Student Packet throughout the unit to complete in-class lessons and homework about the novel.
Reflective Practice
will discuss the fantastical elements that have been identified in Chapters 1-4 of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. These could include: Tumnus, talking beavers, the magical wardrobe, time not passing in the wardrobe, magical Turkish Delight, etc. Continue to pause in later sections of the book to identify additional fantastical elements. For example, when Edmund gets to the Queen's castle, what is realistic and what is fantastical about this place?

Why yes! I am a little flustered, turning about in little circles, and having to remind myself that this is all for a PURPOSE.
Some things have gone very well this week. We have moved into a holiday cottage, everything in our house has been cleaned and packed up and sent on its way to New Zealand, the house itself has been thoroughly cleaned and the roses pruned and the paths swept, and the sale went through very smoothly yesterday. Mostly.
We had one issue. And it was a corker.
On Thursday evening, after a hard day of cleaning (I was exhausted!), we went out for a meal. I took out my eftpos card to pay, only to have it rejected, twice. That was embarrassing. I put it on our credit card instead, but wondered why on earth I couldn't access the funds in our account, especially because my last lot of wages had gone in that day.
On Friday, we both tried to withdraw some cash, with no luck. It turned out that our bank had frozen the funds in our account way back on Wednesday, without telling us, so that they could process settlement on Friday. They kindly told us that we should be able to access our money again on Monday. We were left facing the weekend with only a small amount of cash, and an aversion to using our credit card to get a cash advance (the interest rates are outrageous).
Mr Strange Land saw red. He also went to see the bank. It turned out that instead of freezing enough money for settlement, and leaving the remainder of the funds in our account available for us to use, the bank had simply frozen the entire account. We had money sitting in the bank, that belonged to us, that was not needed for settlement, and they would not allow us to access it. Sorry, they said. That's just the way it is.
My husband has many excellent qualities, and one of them is a refusal to give way in the face of mindless bureaucracy. He sat in the bank, and insisted, persistently, that they give us OUR money. Eventually, one of the bank officers found a way to process a manual transaction to give us the amount of cash we should have been able to withdraw from any ATM. "Would that do?" Mr Strange Land said "Yes" very promptly, got the cash, and left quickly, before they could change their minds.
While he was sitting in the bank, watching the bank officers flap around trying to work out what to do, he calculated the difference between asking our bank to manage sending our money back to New Zealand for us, and doing it ourselves via HIFX. The fees are neither here nor there, but the exchange rate they offer does make a difference. $10,000 difference.
We are very glad to be leaving this bank, which offers callously indifferent service and high fees. We could have coped with the freeze on our funds, if they had the decency to let us know in advance that this was their process, so that we could have ensured that we had enough cash on hand for the weekend. But it's a bit richly ironic that their advertising slogan is: "Determined to earn your business."
Grumble grumble grumble.

Road Warrior: Obsolete bus terminal low on Port Authority's to-do list
For bus commuters, waiting a half-hour or more for a late-afternoon ride home from Manhattan's crowded Port Authority Bus Terminal ranks as high on their list of daily road frustrations as foot-deep potholes and mile-long traffic jams.
"Cattle must have it better," complained Mark Nathanson as he described hour-long lines to catch NJ Transit's 163T bus to Paramus.
At age 64, the busy terminal on Eighth Avenue near the Lincoln Tunnel is far past its useful prime. Riders list the flaws as if they were diseases: Narrow passageways. Poor ventilation. Limited cellular service. Minimal access for the disabled.
Even worse, the terminal lacks enough space to park buses, which means empty, 60-passenger behemoths must traverse crowded highways and city streets before entering the building to pick up passengers just as crowding reaches the sardine-can stage.
And there is no relief in sight as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey struggles with competing priorities — roads, bridges and tunnels and the World Trade Center — for a finite number of dollars.
With demand for bi-state bus service expected to rise at least 35 percent the next 30 years, few disagree that the only genuine, long-term solution lies in building a new terminal. But the price would easily exceed $1 billion. So NJ Transit — by far the largest of the 20 bus carriers that uses the place — has concentrated on building or leasing satellite lots in Manhattan, North Bergen, Weehawken, Secaucus and elsewhere to accommodate its fleet.
But this tactical solution adds to the delays when its buses reach the tunnel for the afternoon rush.
Don't count on a strategic solution anytime soon, said Andrew Lynn, the Port Authority's director of planning and regional development. "Considering all the structural issues we'd face, planning and rebuilding a new terminal would take at least 15 years," he estimated.
Here's more bad news:
Should the old complex be demolished, it's unclear how bus service from midtown Manhattan to North Jersey would accommodate the terminal's 225,000 weekday riders, most of whom are among the nearly 155,000 NJ Transit passengers who live in Bergen and Passaic counties.
Unless it can form a partnership with a commercial investor, the Port Authority isn't focusing its long-term spending on a fix for a bus terminal that now loses about $100 million a year. Instead, it's focusing its capital on World Trade Center construction and maintaining its toll roads and bridges — assets designed to produce long-term financial benefits in a struggling economy.
Many commuters and mass-transit advocates believe that strategy means the Port Authority has lost sight of its reasons for being.
"They should sell off their World Trade Center holdings and concentrate on transportation," said Waldwick's Glen Corbett, who faces delays most nights getting to the North Bergen Park & Ride aboard the 320 bus.
The bus terminal should be a main priority, agreed Richard Barone, director of transportation programs for the Regional Plan Association.
"Some Port Authority priorities seem to be outside its core missions, which are bi-state commerce and passenger mobility," Barone said.
At least one Port Authority commissioner seems to agree. Kenneth Lipper, a former Wall Street executive, who opposes granting a $1.2 billion construction-loan guarantee to the World Trade Center developer Larry Silverstein. Lipper believes the agency should focus on projects like a new bus terminal, whose comparable price tag he feels would energize development on the West Side and rid the neighborhood of buses that belch noxious fumes while idling within several blocks of a building that's clearly too small.
So far, though, the Port Authority has not found a corporate sponsor willing to become its partner in a bus-terminal venture.
That's not surprising.
The post-recession period has not been an era for championing billion-dollar mass-transit projects, even when the need to take cars off crowded roadways seems obvious. In 2010, Governor Christie canceled an NJ Transit plan — nearly three-decades in the making — that would have built another rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River by 2018. The cost — $8.7 billion and rising — was much too steep, Christie said.
A year later, Port Authority board members — half New Jersey gubernatorial appointees — withdrew $800 million in capital funding for a garage that would not have solved crowding at the bus terminal, but would have addressed it temporarily by giving buses a nearby place to park instead of roaming in traffic before heading back to the terminal in the afternoon. Again, it was too expensive, said the board, despite that year's huge hike in Hudson River tolls. Much of that additional toll revenue, along with Port Authority borrowing to help finance the canceled tunnel project, would help rebuild the World Trade Center, the Pulaski Skyway and other roads and crossings that have fallen into disrepair.
A version of a once-rejected garage plan is back on the Port Authority's agenda, with Lipper's support. It calls for a one-level garage and bus-staging facility on a parking lot just one long block from the terminal, on Galvin Plaza, near the mouth of the Lincoln Tunnel. The Port Authority has applied for a Federal Transit Administration grant that would cover more than half the $400 million cost of planning and building it.

A Treatise of Human Nature HTML version
PART I.2: Of The Ideas Of Space And Time
Whatever has the air of a paradox, and is contrary to the first and most unprejudiced
notions of mankind, is often greedily embraced by philosophers, as shewing the
superiority of their science, which coued discover opinions so remote from vulgar
conception. On the other hand, anything proposed to us, which causes surprize and
admiration, gives such a satisfaction to the mind, that it indulges itself in those agreeable
emotions, and will never be persuaded that its pleasure is entirely without foundation.
From these dispositions in philosophers and their disciples arises that mutual
complaisance betwixt them; while the former furnish such plenty of strange and
unaccountable opinions, and the latter so readily believe them. Of this mutual
complaisance I cannot give a more evident instance than in the doctrine of infinite
divisibility, with the examination of which I shall begin this subject of the ideas of space
and time.
It is universally allowed, that the capacity of the mind is limited, and can never attain a
full and adequate conception of infinity: And though it were not allowed, it would be
sufficiently evident from the plainest observation and experience. It is also obvious, that
whatever is capable of being divided in infinitum, must consist of an infinite number of
parts, and that it is impossible to set any bounds to the number of parts, without setting
bounds at the same time to the division. It requires scarce any, induction to conclude
from hence, that the idea, which we form of any finite quality, is not infinitely divisible,
but that by proper distinctions and separations we may run up this idea to inferior ones,
which will be perfectly simple and indivisible. In rejecting the infinite capacity of the
mind, we suppose it may arrive at an end in the division of its ideas; nor are there any
possible means of evading the evidence of this conclusion.
It is therefore certain, that the imagination reaches a minimum, and may raise up to itself
an idea, of which it cannot conceive any sub-division, and which cannot be diminished
without a total annihilation. When you tell me of the thousandth and ten thousandth part
of a grain of sand, I have a, distinct idea of these numbers and of their different
proportions; but the images, which I form in my mind to represent the things themselves,
are nothing different from each other, nor inferior to that image, by which I represent the
grain of sand itself, which is supposed so vastly to exceed them. What consists of parts is
distinguishable into them, and what is distinguishable is separable. But whatever we may
imagine of the thing, the idea of a grain of sand is not distinguishable, nor separable into
twenty, much less into a thousand, ten thousand, or an infinite number of different ideas.
It is the same case with the impressions of the senses as with the ideas of the imagination.
Put a spot of ink upon paper, fix your eye upon that spot, and retire to such a distance,
that, at last you lose sight of it; it is plain, that the moment before it vanished the image or
impression was perfectly indivisible. It is not for want of rays of light striking on our
eyes, that the minute parts of distant bodies convey not any sensible impression; but

Wairoa District Council chief executive Peter Freeman is refusing to be drawn on whether he supports a council employee who used his job as a reason for avoiding a drink-driving conviction.
Russell James Wayne Baty, 33, appeared at Gisborne District Court last Friday where Community Magistrate Sherida Cooper granted him a discharge without conviction for a drink-driving offence.
Baty, an administration manager at Wairoa District Council, was stopped by police just after 2am on Lucknow St in Wairoa on November 24 last year where he was tested and recorded a breath alcohol level of 498mcg per litre of breath.
The legal limit is 400mcg.
Police opposed both the discharge without conviction and a name suppression application which was ultimately withdrawn.
Baty's lawyer Melanie Tarsau's submissions before the court centred on his role as a mentor to students at Wairoa College and the possibility of losing his job.
Yesterday Freeman said the possibility of an employee losing his job for a drink driving conviction "depends entirely on the circumstances, and I'm not discussing those".
But he noted the magistrate who accepted the council employee's discharge without conviction said she had no evidence from the Council supporting the claims made by Baty and his lawyer regarding the possibility of losing his job.
"Clearly there was nothing in the court apart from the representations that he and his solicitor have made."
The decision follows a similar ruling by Judge Graham Hubble in Gisborne last month, to grant a sportswoman a discharge without conviction or penalty.
The woman was granted permanent name suppression.

I have been told that 230 grain is the best load for 45 and I have been told that it is too slow that I should be looking at 185 or 200 grain.
What does all you 45 shooters out there have to say?

It's that time of year again. Our Facebook feeds are filled with iPhone pictures of kids holding their "First Day of School" signs, wearing their not-yet-scuffed shoes, sporting that cool new backpack, excited – if maybe a bit nervous – to find out what the coming year will bring. And in that same social media realm, parents are exchanging the, "We made it!" humorous posts about how glad we are to have the kids back in school, tinged also with a little bittersweet sadness over the end of summer and the ever-increasing speed with which the time seems to pass while raising kids.Read More

Those of you who follow the Lauren's Hope blog regularly (and who doesn't?) may recall that I shared a personal story earlier this summer when my 9-year-old son, Will, was diagnosed with Severe Feeding Aversion (that's him, at left, in the hospital) and underwent surgery to place a Microvasive G-Tube. This feeding tube works by way of a port on his abdomen, allowing us to give him all the nutrition he needs while he undergoes long-term feeding aversion therapy, a form of occupational therapy that addresses the behavioral, sensory (texture, smell, temperature, etc.), social, cognitive, and OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) issues surrounding feeding.

For many children and teens, going back to school or heading to "Meet The Teacher" events is a bit intimidating and overwhelming. Kids feel nervous or anxious about a new school year and, for shy children in particular, those first few weeks of learning new names, places, and people can be truly challenging. For children with health care concerns such as Type 1 Diabetes, food allergies, asthma, or chronic illness, this can be harder, as even confident teens are often uncomfortable simply walking up to a new teacher and saying, "Hi. My name is Sally, and I have a peanut allergy." That's not the first conversation they want to have, even though it's such an important topic. They don't want to be defined by their diagnoses or thought of as, "The Diabetic Kid." Their health care status may not be information they want to share in front of other people right away, but they do need to communicate it to the teacher.

stroker that has to run pump gas
need your help on this 350/383 eagle stroker kit flat top pistons pro comp heads 190 runners and 64 exhaust with 202 valve's.....im being told 10.40 cr and using a felpro 1010 and told that will be 10 1 sound ok to you? if i add a 12-210-2cam will i be ok on pump gas
First, are you running a 350 or 383? Next, 10.1 compression with an aluminum head should not ping Or detonate. I run a 10.7 406 with a 231/239@50 hydraulic roller. I don't have detonation problems. Aluminum heads are more forgiven when it comes to compression and pump gas. Your combo should b fine but if a 383, u might can get away with more compression.
yes a 383 and going nuts picking the right cam. i want a nasty idle but i need to run on pump gas. pulse its going in a 4x4 with stock converter but im thinking i may need to go with a 2000+ .im going to stay with stock gears i think there 273 any recondmadations for a cam?
You've already backed yourself into a hole and you didn't even get a cam!
Your compression is way too high for a 2,000 stall with that high of a running load.
You need to knock your compression down to 9:1, then the rest of your parts selection will work fine. To do that you'll need to swap pistons or somehow open your heads up to 76cc+ chambers, 12cc's is a lot to take out of a chamber, but it can be done.
yes i made bad choices right from the start and now im stuck with it.i know buying pro comp was not a good choice and i bought wrong size bummer im not going to pull new flat top pistons and don't dare open the pro comps. i never thought i had to be at 9.1 to run on pump gas of 93 octane
A lot of people read internet stories of "street" cars running 10:1+ on an sbc on premium fuel. They can do that because of the ideal running conditions, yours are about the worst running conditions you can have on a street vehicle.
If you want to step up to a 3,000 stall and some 4.10 gears then you can run 10:1+ too... Pistons are probably your best way out at this point.
BTw even if you open your chambers to 76, you're still at about 9.% which can work
You need to know something about the block and the pistons for that matter. The first thing is whether the block was zero decked or not. This makes a difference of .8 of a ratio. The second thing is the piston and what the distance from the pin to the crown is.
The next concern is the squish/quench clearance, this is the end result of adding the piston crown to cylinder deck distance to the gasket thickness. This should be .040 to not more than .060 inch. Tighter is more detonation resistant than larger, but getting under .040 for a street motor is parts collision risky and above .060 inch the effectiveness goes away pretty fast making the engine for any given compression ratio more ping prone.
The 268 cam is a well traveled path that does not require a high stall converter. For that cost a lower ratio rear end and if an automatic a 4 speed tranny like the 700R4 with its lower low and overdrive high would be money better spent.
Aluminum heads are goo for static compression ratios about one full ratio over cast iron. I figure if this engine has the nominal .025 inch crown to deck piston clearance common to SBCs and if we hold to .040 squish quench that makes a for a .015 gasket, use a rubber coated or multi layer if going this thin (I'll get to why later). figuring that into a 64 cc chamber with pistons having 6ccs of valve reliefs, my SCR calculator drives out 10.9, that's pretty stout but could be made livable with steeper gears. Opening up the squish quench to get .060 total makes for a .035 gasket which drops the SCR to 10.5, still pretty aggressive for this cam but getting there. The GM recommended gasket for aluminum heads is .053 thick. That with an .025 piston to deck clearance makes .078, this is getting weaker but no where as bad as GMs production, this would drop the SCR to 10.05. This is very livable with the set up you have.
If you don't need a high stall converter because of cam timing, don't use one. The point where it has the most slip isn't where you need it, that being the lower transmission gears. These keep the engine would up which gives it a lot of mechanical advantage which keeps the engine from pinging. It's low RPM cruise in high where the problem comes, but at this point the engine has lost a lot of mechanical advantage and no longer can force the converter to slip enough to unload it to where it isn't ping sensitive. Stiffer gears in the rear or smaller tires can be used to give the engine mechanical advantage that stays with it throughout the transmission's gear ranges. For a tranny the 700R4/4L60 (no E) offer a lower low by about a full ratio which will help get launched against those 2.7 rear gears. It also offers a 4th overdrive for high speed cruise.
Other ways to play with controlling too mush compression include cutting back and or slowing the ignition advance rates, lower engine operating temp, lower intake air temp, and richening the mixture a bit.
But overall I think if you go with a thicker head gasket you can drop the SCR to close to 10 to one and with a aluminum head this should work without having to carve the insides of the chambers of piston crown to get there.
The reason for a rubber coated head gasket at the minimum and preferably a multi-layered steel or even a thicker composition head gasket is that cast iron and aluminum have very different rates of thermal movement, aluminum expanding or contracting much more with temperature changes. This causes the aluminum part (heads in this case) to constantly scrub against the gasket. Since most thin gaskets steel and thicker gaskets use steel fire rings, this movement abrades, frets, or brinnels (your choice of words) the softer aluminum. The rubber coating provides a small amount of stress relief, but multi-layers and compositions provide much more to where the shear action is taken inside the gaskets layers instead of the gasket to head interface. This makes a much smaller wear problem for the head's gasket facing surface.
Hopefully, this gets you back on track with a minimum of cost and effort.
I cannot comment on your gears or stall. I can, however, comment on your engine.
I am running a 383 with a CC XE274H cam (12-246-3). Duration @0.050 is 231-236*. TF 23* 64cc aluminum heads. Static CR is 10.30, dynamic CR is about 8.3. Mechanical timing is 34* all in @ 2500 rpm and vacuum advance adds another 15*. Quench, with a '0' deck block and 0.041 head gasket, is 0.041.
I run 89 octane BP gas without problems.
thanks i think i will be OK with this. as im pretty sure im 025 inch from crown and i did not have any deck work also my pistons have two valve and are 4 or 5cc and a felpro gasket 1010 is 039 and i have the 700r4 i don't have any tools to measure piston height. and i will have the heads ported and polished for added assurance. i guess i wont know till it all togather. thank you for all the info
In many ways you lucked out with this engine as it now stands, I wouldn't recommend pushing it further without other changes to overall gearing first to get the revs up which invigorates all these intake flow issues that happen with enlarged ports.
oh i thought that might help with my high cr I thought that woul help bring down my cr.once more i almost did what not to do. i sure do thank you for your help. today i started to think maby i will look around for a shop to finish this.before i buy /do more harm then good. i know i needed 76 cc heads not the 64 i have because i didn't know better.and didn't think about my cr thanks for the help
"porting" or enlarging the chambers will help, and porting those heads can help power from idle on up if done properly.
The port velocity will only fall down if a bad port job is done.
If you want more power have them ported, if you can't afford that having the bowls and chambers done at the very least will pick up power AND will slightly lower your compression.
Also, a cam with more lift would be nice, for your gears the duration is pretty good (your gears are awful though) but more lift would help.
thanks. i was planing on having them done.but oldbogie said its not good to do. what cam do you think i need. and do you think port and polish will do good. i need all the help i can find thanks
The next thing is the piston crown shape. This is important from several standpoints:
1) is squish/quench where you want very close closure between the piston's crown surface and that of the S/Q deck of the head for an area of about 1/3 to 1/2 the chamber.
2) a flat top piston, again the flat top maximizes the effects of squish/quench with the additional benefit of minimizing interference with the burn's progress across the chamber as happens with a dome. All this said, there is a point where no matter how tricky you get with configurations there is a limit to how much compression a given octane fuel will support. So to adjust for this pistons often include dishes to add chamber volume which reduces the compression ratio. There are bad dish and good dish designs. The factory likes to use a round dish because it lets them use one piston on both sides of the engine (cost effective in the millions thye make and use). However, this reduces the effectiveness of the squish/quench and forces the end user to accept a less efficient engine or increase the used octane again spending more money for the power delivered. The compromise design that is used in the hot rod world is the D dish piston but these are side specific so you make half as many common to each other. With this the compression can be controlled with the dish volume all of which is under the valve pocket. At the same time a flat surface opposite the valve pocket maximizes the squish/quench function by keeping adequately large surfaces that close nearly together. So you get the engineering advantages of a flat top and a dish piston and pay the price in that the cost of development and tooling is spread across half the needed pistons instead of all.
Squish/quench is often referred to as mechanical octane. The close clearance as the piston crosses Top Dead Center (TDC) first ejects (squishes) the mixture from the far side of the chamber toward the spark plug. This is one last, and one hell of a, final stir to get fuel and oxygen molecules hugging each other before the spark is put to 'em. This also increases the density (number of molecules) in front of the spark plug which both makes it easier to set the mixture on fire and the higher density burns faster. This gets exceedingly important for long cammed or high ratio rocker armed engine. This is a description of squish; now for quench. The same parts have a second function that is taking the excess heat build up out of the mixture ahead of the flame front that otherwise causes the unburnt mixture on the far side of the chamber to explode before the fire gets there, this is classic detonation. The tight closure presents a zone that has a high surface area to volume ratio so it sinks the heat out as the unburnt mixture is compressed by the expanding burning gases on the other side of the chamber. This is mechanical octane at work, how close the closure, how much the surface area, the possible effects of Singh grooves are variables or tools you can use to tailor this function, within limits of course.
Of course there are limits to how small the camber cam be made before all this comes apart. Back in the late 1950's for an example Chevrolet came out with the 348, that morphed into the 409 and first BBC 427, at the same time the house of Ford released the Lincoln/Mercury (MEL) big block at 383, 410, 430 and 462 inches. The common denominator between these GM and Ford motors what the elimination of the valve pocket from the head entirely. The valves were close to flush with the deck, while the chamber shape was put into the piston. This just didn't work well for a lot of reasons some having to do with breathing and others being it made for a heavy and complex piston that was difficult to balance against on the crank's counterweights. No-one that has gone this route has had much success with it and many beside GM and Ford have tried it, so obviously there are some limits to how small the combustion chamber in the head can be reduced to.
As far as cam goes what can you live with/afford? A hydraulic roller cam would be ideal but its not cheap, a good conversion kit can cost your $700+. If you stick with flat tappets, would a solid cam work or do you mind having to adjust lash? Also, 1.5 or 1.6 rockers? Are you willing to change valve springs?
A good off the shelf flat tappet cam from Comp would be 12-676-4 combine that with the proper springs, EDM'd lifters, and 1.6 rockers and you have a little lower cost than a hydraulic roller conversion with a good amount of lift that won't go flat (as long as you use good oil).

It seems that old myths die hard, very hard. An additional tank WILL NOT!! help and 60 gallons is is just fine so don't waste your time and money trying that tired old trick it does not help, not for more than a few seconds anyway and then even this will be lost to the extra recharge time so NOTHING is gained. This has been covered many times before and the size of the tank will determine the on/off cycle of the compressor and not how long you can run a tool that exceeds the capacity of your compressor, you can not get more out of a tank than the pump puts in. TT, you say you have a 5 HP 60 gallon compressor? but what is the CFM rating? Do you have a regulator now or are you running straight tank pressure?
If you are running out of air, and it sounds like you are, then no regulator is going to make up for a lack of air from the compressor. Does the impact or cut-off tool start out ok for a while and then die down or does it lose power almost immediately? If it only runs a second or two before losing power then it could indeed be a regulator problem or (more likely) a line restriction. If the tool runs for a while and then slowly loses power along with a corresponding lose of pressure in the tank then the compressor is not producing enough CFM and the regulator is not the problem. Check the lines for a restriction and make sure there are no fittings ANYWHERE in the system that are smaller than the line.
Danny, nice set-up you did a really good job on that

Jobs in Deschutes County pay below U.S. average
Bend-metro BLS data looks at which jobs pay more, less
SAN FRANCISCO - Workers in Deschutes County (the Bend metro area) had an average hourly wage of $19.78 an hour as of May 2012, about 10 percent below the nationwide average of $22.01, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.
Regional Commissioner Richard J. Holden noted that, after testing for statistical significance, average (mean) wages in the local area were significantly higher than their respective national averages in five of the 22 major occupational groups, including healthcare practitioners and technical, healthcare support, and building and grounds cleaning and maintenance.
Twelve groups had significantly lower wages than their respective national averages, including management, legal, and computer and mathematical.
When compared to the nationwide distribution, local employment was more highly concentrated in seven of the 22 occupational groups, including food preparation and serving related, sales and related, and personal care and service.
Conversely, eight groups had employment shares significantly below their national representation, including production, business and financial operations, and computer and mathematical.
One occupational group — personal care and service — was chosen to illustrate the diversity of data available for any of the 22 major occupational categories.
The Bend area had 2,630 jobs in personal care and service, accounting for 4.4 percent of local area employment, significantly higher than the 2.9-percent share nationally. The average hourly wage for this occupational group locally was $11.66, compared to the national wage of $11.80.
With employment of 820, personal care aides was the largest occupation within the personal care and service group, followed by recreation workers (340) and fitness trainers and aerobics instructors (230).
Among the higher-paying jobs were fitness trainers and aerobics instructors, and first-line supervisors of personal service workers, with mean hourly wages of $19.04 and $14.29, respectively.
At the lower end of the wage scale were amusement and recreation attendants ($9.43) and tour guides and escorts ($10.17).
Location quotients allow the BLS to explore the occupational make-up of a metropolitan area by comparing the composition of jobs in an area relative to the national average.
For example, a location quotient of 2.0 indicates that an occupation accounts for twice the share of employment in the area than it does nationally.
In the Bend Metropolitan Statistical Area, above-average concentrations of employment were found in many of the occupations within the personal care and service group.
For instance, recreation workers were employed at 2.4 times the national rate in Bend, and fitness trainers and aerobics instructors, at 2.2 times the U.S. average.
On the other hand, childcare workers had a location quotient of 0.7 in Bend, indicating that this particular occupation's local and national employment shares were similar.
These statistics are from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey, a federal-state cooperative program between BLS and State Workforce Agencies, in this case, the Oregon Employment Department.
With the release of the May 2012 estimates, OES data are based on the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system for the first time. The OES survey provides estimates of employment and hourly and annual wages for wage and salary workers in 22 major occupational groups and more than 800 detailed occupations for the nation, states, metropolitan statistical areas, metropolitan divisions, and nonmetropolitan areas.
In addition, employment and wage estimates for 94 minor groups and 458 broad occupations are available in the national data for the first time. Information about the 2010 SOC is available on the BLS website at www.bls.gov/soc.
The May 2012 OES estimates are the first to be produced using the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Information about the 2012 NAICS is available on the BLS website at www.bls.gov/bls/naics.htm. OES wage and employment data for the 22 major occupational groups in the Bend Metropolitan Statistical Area were compared to their respective national averages based on statistical significance testing.
Only those occupations with wages or employment shares above or below the national wage or share after testing for significance at the 90-percent confidence level meet the criteria.
NOTE: A value that is statistically different from another does not necessarily mean that the difference has economic or practical significance. Statistical significance is concerned with the ability to make confident statements about a universe based on a sample. It is entirely possible that a large difference between two values is not significantly different statistically, while a small difference is, since both the size and heterogeneity of the sample affect the relative error of the data being tested.

Ask Now: Will Wauwatosa develop more recreational land at Hart Park and along the Menomonee River?
Is there a rumor you've heard that you would like to track down? Is there something in the city — like playground equipment or a pothole — that needs to be fixed? Rick Romano answers some of the mysteries of life in Wauwatosa and helps solve everyday problems.
Will the city develop more recreational land at Hart Park and along the Menomonee River?
Issue: A reader wants to know those answers and offered a suggestion.
"Tosa has a very large soccer playing population," he wrote.
Status: Other than a possible skate park, Parks and Forestry Superintendent Ken Walbrant said there are no plans to add recreational facilities. He said the plan has been to develop recreational outlets from 68th Street west.
"East of 68th Street, the land has been designated as passive space," Walbrant said. "If someone is looking for soccer fields, I suppose there is nothing to prevent them from putting up some nets and playing there."
Walbrant offered one caveat, noting that there is a plan to "daylight" — open up — the underground portion of Schoonmaker Creek that runs through that area. He said that may restrict recreational access.
City Engineer Bill Wehrley confirmed the Milwaukee Metropolitian Sewerage District is working on the project. MMSD Senior Project Director Jennifer Wright said the work should be done in early 2015. She said the project will include preserving some space just east of 68th Street.
"When the project is complete, there should be an option for the city to develop that," she said.
Schoonmaker Creek, visible in areas such as the Washington Highlands, currently runs in an underground pipe around 61st Street under the site of the former Sears warehouse and contines on an angle between the railroad tracks and the Menomonee River.
