.....its normally about £16-18 i think for the full marathon....so a little less for the half. Fairly big field for the half.....tiny fo rthe full!
Wonderful race, very friendly atmosphere.....good organisation, but hard as nails....especially the last descent!
The entry form is now on the website http://www.greatlangdaleraces.org.uk/marathon.htm
I heard a rumour recently that, just for a laugh, Rod is considering reversing the route this year - don't know if there's any truth in that (and the map on the website indicates going the 'normal' way round) but the start would be a hell of a challenge if he did.
I'm still wavering as to whether I want to put myself through this again this year.
Nick - before you start - I was planning to do the full this year until I injured my back in April (before I could do a spring marathon as a warm up) and I'm still gently working my way back to fitness - there is no way I will be fit for a marathon in September, least of all this one.
Got my number today, along with a letter from Rod.
'The course will run in an anti-clockwise deirection, not for masochistic reasons, but to make it safer to marshall'
Here's a map of the course - not quite perfect as I am missing 3/4 of a mile!?
Hope to see you there!
Thre'll be lots of people walking that second mile!! though a fairly flat last 3 miles might compensate for it.

Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said today that he would work with Congress to establish a more independent nuclear weapons program as a remedy for security problems, but key details of the proposed reorganization are still in dispute, officials said.
Mr. Richardson changed his previous position and said he would consider a semi-autonomous program within his department. ''I'm ready to move on it,'' he said, adding that he would seek bipartisan agreement.
Mr. Richardson's change in position was first reported in Thursday's editions of the Washington Post.
But even Mr. Richardson's acceptance of the idea may not resolve the issue.
Some House Republicans have demanded creating a wholly autonomous agency or moving the nuclear weapons work to the Pentagon in response to accusations that China obtained weapons secrets from one of the Energy Department's laboratories.Continue reading the main story
Three Republican Senators, Pete V. Domenici of New Mexico, Jon Kyl of Arizona and Frank H. Murkowski of Alaska, have been pushing for reorganization. But Mr. Richardson has resisted changes that would remove the weapons program from of his control.
A crucial issue -- and one on which there is no agreement with Congress -- is whether the department's counter-intelligence and security chiefs would report to the head of the new weapons program, as some Republicans would like, or to the Energy Secretary, as Mr. Richardson wants.
Mr. Richardson has maintained that having those officials report to the head of the weapons programs would create conflicts and would not benefit security.
The concept of a semi-autonomous agency, its definition still under negotiation, was proposed in a report issued in mid-June by President Clinton's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.
Mr. Richardson had been resisting the proposal. ''I hate the 'agency' word,'' he said at a Senate hearing on June 22.
The plan now under discussion, which would create an Agency for Nuclear Stewardship, would be headed by an undersecretary.
It would include the three main weapons laboratories, Los Alamos, Sandia and Lawrence Livermore; the weapons-assembly operations at Pantex, in Amarillo, Tex., and at Oak Ridge, Tenn.; the naval nuclear propulsion program, and various nonproliferation and bomb-fuel storage programs.
The last two barely existed when the department was formed in 1977.
Under Mr. Richardson's view, the undersecretary would report to him. But focusing the program under the control of one high-ranking official would improve accountability, department officials believe.
Mr. Richardson has argued in the last few weeks that he has already taken steps to improve security, including naming a ''security czar,'' Eugene E. Habiger, a retired four-star Air Force general.
Since the Energy Department's establishment, it has had an office of Defense Programs, which oversees weapons production and reports to an Assistant Secretary of Energy.
The Energy Department has a surplus of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium, which it is no longer producing.
It is trying to safely store the excess material until it can dispose of it, and help the Russians do the same with theirs.Continue reading the main story

Congrats the NY Giants on an amazing season...
The Niners lost as a team yesterday. We are not blaming anybody. Everything went wrong for us yesterday from the missed ints to the injuries to the TOs to the foward progress, but it's ok, that's how the game goes sometimes. We had our chances to wrap up that game still but give credit to the Giants D for blanketing our WRs. We win and lose as a team, we didn't roll over and die all year--we are proud of that.
BTW Eli Manning is tough SOB. He was taking a beating all game and was still stand up. He looked like Alex Smith the way he was absorbing those shots. I respect that.
Good luck in the SB. Peace!

I guess it's not obviously logical, but at some point I found some location information on the shipping information page referring to local pickup.
There's also the contact page available at the bottom of the home page along with a subtle Niwot, CO linked to a map among those at the very very bottom of the most pages.
I agree that it could be more prominent, but it only seems useful for people in the area already. I had better luck finding an address via a Google search as an out-of-town visitor for AVC 2015.
The laundry robots have already been created. They are called, interestingly enough, a "washing machine" and a "dryer". You can pick one up a local retailer. Many are quite hackable, too!
I am looking forward to seeing the redux on the system performance during the event. Most of what I got was a whole bunch of non-response from the servers and the resulting unhappy browsers. (I tried Firefox, IE, and Chrome.) I'd logged in 5 minutes before the start of festivities without a problem. It was a tad sluggish, but perfectly workable. As soon as the timer got to NOW, though, maybe one try in 20 didn't timeout. I was never able to get to the free_day page. I did get redirected to the login page at one point and from then on I didn't get anything useful back. Maybe 10% of the page load attempts got me an error page back from the server.
No public wish lists :(

Statements To Be Presented At The HALLOWEEN HEARING on PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING and SHELTER CAPACITY
I would like to begin by reminding you, Councilman Wells, that we discussed Permanent Supportive Housing on September 19th during the Winter Plan Hearing, due to the Winter Plan having not been ready at that time. At that time, I pointed out to you that people with serious drug problems were being housed through the fiasco known as "Housing First" and were abusing the system. I told you that I had not been offered housing though I've been at Franklin Shelter for over 3 years. (I have actually been homeless elsewhere for much longer.) You asked me whether or not I would accept housing if it were offered to me. I said, "Yes".
Well, I still haven't been housed. However, those who still have drug habits are being housed and losing their housing. They are selling their furniture, appliances and even the vouchers themselves. It is my understanding that DHS has now taken back 50 of the housing vouchers that they gave out. This is not an indictment on the drug users but rather on DHS. They set people up to fail. Who could've guessed that a user who sold things out of his mother's house would sell his own furniture?
This speaks volumes to what a philosophical fiasco the Housing First model of Permanent Supportive Housing really is. Housing First might work well for those with mild physical ailments or employment issues; but, it doesn't work well for those with acute illnesses or drug addictions. A certain man with several severe physical conditions including heart, lung and back trouble attended the ICH meeting on October 10th. He mentioned that he was afraid to be home alone in his new unit; because, he might have a heart attack or stop breathing with no one there to help him. I've already mentioned the problems associated with users having not been given adequate counseling prior to being placed in housing.
I also told you of how the original plan called for several levels of monitoring within the PSH program. The vouchers are part of the scattered-site model of housing whereby clients are placed in apartment units and monitored at a low or moderate level. There was also supposed to be site-based housing which would consist of DC Government owning the entire building. With this model, the program's clients would have apartment units upstairs and there would be service providers downstairs. They would include doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists. This type of housing has yet to be built here in DC. Those who need close monitoring are being placed in scattered-site housing that doesn't meet their needs. Once again, the bad behavior of the drug users is an indictment on DC Government.
An additional indictment must be stated as well. I was informed that Pathways to Housing tried a similar program about 5 years ago with similar results. If this proves to be true, then DC Government should've known from this past experience what could and would happen. Furthermore, the alleged successes of housing first programs in other major cities across the nation have been called to question. Let's not forget that all perceived successes of the housing first programs throughout the nation are being offset by the economic crisis and recent house foreclosures. We are housing people on one end and they are losing their housing on the other end. How does this constitute success?
Let's change our thinking on this matter. Let's begin to house the best of the worst first. That is to say that we should house those who are homeless but don't have any addictions or serious behavioral or mental issues first. Those who need close monitoring should be placed in the site-based housing when it is built. In the meantime, they should be transferred to facilities that can meet their needs. This would open up the apartment units for those who are responsible and capable of maintaining a residence – people like me.
I've not said anything about shelter capacity at this point. I'm sure that others will. However I will say that, as people lose their housing, they are returning to the shelters. The mayor was in such a rush to close Franklin that he didn't give his housing program time to work first. Now those who were evicted from Franklin are being evicted from their housing during this early winter.
I'll end by saying this. It is quite ironic that November 1st falls on a Saturday this year. That means that people who get SSI checks will get them on Halloween. Many of those people get high. Needless to say, tonight they'll be getting spooked in more ways than one.
(I mentioned some of these concerns to you, Councilman Wells, on September 19th, the birthday of my dearly departed girlfriend, Joyce Williams. I also made mention of some of these matters at a hearing in front of Marion Barry on October 16th, even though they don't fall within his purview. I wanted to add those statements to this testimony; but my computer was working like DC Gov. – very poorly. I might just e-mail those testimonies to you.)

Quote:Hello CVV:Is there a meaningful difference between so called secret & merely hidden IYV?J
Quote: These principles imply good knowledge of the human body, knowledge of the technique used and the consequence of that application and knowledge of the kata.You need to be thaught and you need to train this. I think a lot of the knowledge of the fighting principles is not openly thaught.
Quote: As a youngster on Okinawa (Soken), grappling was taken very seriously and it was not uncommon for individuals to suffer broken arms and legs as a result of taking part in this light form of entertainment. (Soken-sensei used the terms "te-kumi" or "gyaku-te" as identifying this old Okinawan art form). .Grappling is an old Okinawan custom that is commonly practiced in all villages. In America, the children played at "cowboys and indians." In Okinawa we played by grappling with each other. We would have contests for grapplers in every village and one village would pit their best grapplers against all comers. It was very exciting. .Some people see the grappling and call it Okinawan jujutsu but this is not right. It is the old method called "ti" (often written as te. When pronounced in the old dialect of Okinawa it sounds like the word "tea"). Ti practice was very common during the Meiji / Taisho era (turn of the century) but with the Japanese influences, these methods have almost disappeared.
Quote: There are many secrets in karate that people will never know and will never understand. These ideas are really not secret if you train in Okinawa under a good teacher. You will see the teacher use these so-called secret techniques over and over again until they will become common knowledge to you. Others will look at it and marvel that it is an advanced or secret technique to them. That is because they do not have good teachers or their teachers have not researched their respective styles.
Quote: Erica Estrada Fighting must have been very different at the beginning of the century..Soken Sensei: Yes, you don't know these old days. In a fight... if you would lose, the loss would be suffered by your family. They could die. You would work hard to support the family working all day. If you were injured or killed while fighting, then your family would starve... maybe even die. Okinawa life was very hard.
Quote:Not all kata are "masking" secret techniques. In a classical okinawan karate system if you know what you are looking at it is clear. In okinawan dance there are some masked karate techniques, but not kata. The reason that techniques in kata may not be clearly one technique or another is becasue they are meant to adapt to a situation.
Quote: I actually find that the longer I train the fundamentals (kihon) the better able I am to breakdown the kata into small parts and extract the principles that were always there.Its funny but the longer I train the smaller things I work out ripple right through my training and have a dramatic effect on it, and I thought the learning curve got easier...............................................
Quote:and of course it would seem that time, different masters and styalistic 'development' would also add to the disguise in many systems
Quote:a simple example would be over use of the flat fist formation in most 'modern' traditional kata.another example would be 'fixed' kiai points leading many to think that is the 'finishing' technique when in fact it might not be, this could be at the end of say 4-3 techniques that are in a combination, when in fact they may not be a single combination.kata tends to also be 'forced' to look nice within many systems, this makes many movements 'bigger' than perhaps they should be for application.just some basic examples
Quote:Shoshinkan said:Quote:and of course it would seem that time, different masters and styalistic 'development' would also add to the disguise in many systems Would you or anyone else care to comment on techniques you have seen that add to the disguise? (A great expression, btw.)-Kakushite

The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
I'd wait a year or two to let the flaws float to the top...

The 'shorty' looks like you gotta' be real careful with your other hand....might lose the tip of something you may need.....
Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
---Ronald Reagan
That could be awesome. An alternative to Kahr, Kel-tec, Rohrbaugh. Price point is unfortunate. Somehow we justify dropping that on 1911's, but it looks horrendous for anything else. For that kinda jack, it better be dead nuts reliable.
I hope they get ALL the bugs worked out before it goes into production. (How many sales do you supposed Kahr and Kel-Tec lose to abounding horror stories??? Even after you weed out the operator error, the barrel peening, parts breakage, and general finickiness scare a lot of people off).
I'd like to see that puppy chambered in 45acp, and sized like a 3" 1911.
It's been a long time coming, and I'm not holding my breath, but when/if it actually goes into production I'd like to fondle one. It has some real potential on paper.
Looks interesting...They've still gotta way to go, before production...

Last I had heard, they hoped to have the first one's out end of this year, early next. I think it's an interesting concept, but like most, I'd wait a year or so and see what bugs arise.
When Guns Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws will have guns
Just remember, When seconds count help is mere minutes away
Also remember, When you go to trial by jury you are putting yourself into the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
Too complicated for a slight increase in veolocity. It is about the same size as the KelTecs, but heavier than the PF-9 with the same magazine capacity, and about as heavy as a P-11 loaded with 11 rounds. If you don't feel safe with hot loads in 9mm, then why not go with a Kahr 40S&W or 45ACP and skip this Rube Goldberg pistol.
Maybe if it fires trounds or gyro-jet cartridges I'll give it a look.

It looks a little Bond, James Bondish.

Why not get a 3" 1911 then?I'd like to see that puppy chambered in 45acp, and sized like a 3" 1911.
It kind of reminds me of a downsized Steyr M9 series.
I viewed the website, very intriguing gun....I would entertain it if not too pricey.
"I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy!" - Dorothy Parker
Looks to complicated, and the bore axis looks high. I'd go Kel Tec or Kahr myself.
Get the U.N. out of the U.S.
Get the U.S. out of the U.N.
I dont know, looks like an interesting piece, but kinda like reinventing the mousetrap concept. Like the old Mateba Semiauto Revolver.
I know not what this "overkill" means.
Honing the knives, Cleaning the longguns, Stocking up ammo.

Welcome to Europe Meets China: A Forum for Young Leaders (EMC)Europe Meets China: A Forum for Young Leaders (EMC) is a network of young professionals and individuals who have an interest in exploring and strengthening the relations between Europe and China. The ultimate goal of the forum is to educate, enhance and sustain the European-Chinese relationship by empowering the next generation of young leaders from Europe and China.
China, with its fastest growing economy in the world and as one of the BRIC countries, is ever-becoming a prominent member of international politics. The potential for stronger relations with Chinese has not skipped the attention of European countries. The economic cooperation between China and the European region started in the 1970s but the EU only became significantly active with China in the 1990s. Today China has one of the largest economy in the world and it is the second biggest trade partner after the USA for the European Union.
Despite the deepening economic relations, political and cultural co-operations are becoming more and more outlined. Leaders of the EU and China have started to emphasize the importance of mutual acceptance and understanding and they are fostering cultural diplomacy to solve issues related to human rights and the environment between their nations.
Bilateral cooperation promises to bring more economic, political and cultural benefits in the future for both the EU and China.
The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy now provides a forum to embrace and examine the field of cultural diplomacy and its importance in European-Chinese relations.

Speakers during the seminars include individuals from the fields of politics, diplomacy, academia, culture & the arts, civil society, and the private sector.

Need New Community Involvement
The following is an open letter to the Rockaway Beach community. Dear Editor,
An active and vibrant civic association is critical to the quality of life in any neighborhood.
Rockaway Beach has been without an active civic association for a number of years and the quality of life has declined as a result.
Peninsula Hospital closed, Peninsula Preparatory Academy closed, zoning is changed, the beach erodes and what's left is filthy, the boardwalk goes unrepaired, the streets are torn up, legal parking is confused or eliminated, traffic lanes are eliminated and bike lanes are put in unsafe locations, the wooden jetties that drowned a surfer three years ago are still there, 100 year old trees are destroyed, a summer construction moratorium is mysteriously missing from the sewer contract, dog walkers are hounded by the police to pick up after their dogs yet DFD's litter our community with impunity, a senior citizen is raped and a 17 year old is murdered by gangs on the Boulevard. Yet the voice of the community is silent since there is no way to be heard. Politicians who were once required to stand before the community and defend their policies now answer no questions and instead get a photo op with everyone smiling. Political debates that were so popular are a thing of the past. We have become politically enfeebled as a community and we have only ourselves to blame.
The impact of an effective civic association can be seen in something as simple as parking regulations. Alternate side of the street parking and the street sweeping schedule are very important to keep the neighborhood clean. But can we clean the streets without harassing residents and harming local businesses? Scheduling should be at the convenience of the community, not DOS.
The reality of ineffective neighborhood advocacy was made apparent to me when a local resident took the initiative, went to the community board to express concern about the eroding beaches and the only response he got from the chair of the community board was a shrug of the shoulders and "your time is up, next speaker."
This community needs an organization to bring individual voices together so government must address important neighborhood issues. The result will be a better community, a higher quality of life and higher property values since the community will be more desirable.
At my own expense, I have arranged for a meeting at the Knights of Columbus Hall (333 Beach 90 Street) on Wednesday, August 22, at 7 p.m. to give local residents the opportunity to come together and form a new civic association, if they so choose. If you prefer to come and just drink coffee and eat cookies, then so be it. The choice is up to you.
The first order of business will be to elect a committee to map out a plan for a new civic association. All are welcome.
I will chair this meeting of concerned neighbors until a committee is elected and then I shall pass the gavel to the newly elected committee chairman.
I hope you will participate in this grass-roots civic effort to make government responsive to the people of Rockaway Beach.

The Calgary Flames have officially announced the hiring of former NHL coach Bob Hartley as their new head coach. Hartley, who won a Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2001 and whose last NHL coaching job was with the Atlanta Thrashers in 2007-08, spent last season as coach of the Zurich Lions in Switzerland.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Scratch Hartley from the list of potential coaching candidates for the Montreal Canadiens, who were also interested in him. Have to wonder if there will be any difficulty getting him out of his contract with Zurich. One would assume the Flames sought and receive permission to speak with Hartley.

Potential investors in the newly liberated Libya became more nervous last week after learning that an armed militia group had cut through a perimeter fence at Tripoli International Airport (HLLT) in broad daylight. The militia then drove their heavily armed vehicles onto an airport ramp in search of their leader, whom they believed was being held on the field.
Sources said the militia group occupied the airport for several hours before leaving empty-handed. Airport security forces, reportedly short of resources to stop the attack, took no action during the occupation.

Published: 2011-06-06, by Ana Gracia.
The ancient game in your smartphone: everyone knows it, although not everybody knows how to play. Still, don't worry if that is the case, since you have a good and easy list of Game Rules to learn.
The options are the following: you can choose to be White or Black, change the level of difficulty from 1 to 5, select the name of rounds and activate or deactivate Doubling Cube. You can play by yourself or with a friend, so this is not only a one player game.
When playing, the board will tell you the Pip Counts (the total distance that pieces from one side must move in order to get them all together into that side's home); so the lower the number, the closer you are to win.
When you roll the dice, the board will specify the legal moves by showing them in green and you'll have to choose your best strategy. Options for undoing, hints and save and quit are also available.
It seems that some users are complaining about the convenience of the opponent's dice rolls, so maybe this can be improved by adding an easier mode. Anyway, we assume that the ways of randomness are inscrutable.
Be sure to check this game out if you want to entertain yourself by playing a classic game by yourself or with a friend, as well as exercise your mind. AI Factory Limited is specialized in developing classic games for smartphones in an excellent way, so if you like this one you're bound to enjoy the others, such as Chess, Four in a line, Sudoku, etc.

Now thats a city that works
Matthew LaFollette, the bookkeeper over at Central Drug on Southwest Fourth and Alder, was standing outside the store just before noon Wednesday, smoking a cigarette and watching the guy from the city remove the heads from the old mechanical parking meters. É The new electronic meters were already in place and ready to go Ñ but since the old meters were there, of course, everyone had plugged them. É Matthew watched as the guy from the city worked his way down Taylor, leaving one headless meter after another behind him. É And he was watching a minute or so later, when, to his astonishment, a meter reader came by, slapping parking citations on the windshields of every car parked along the street Ñ because, of course, none of them displayed tickets from the new meters in their windows. 'I still can't believe it,' says Matthew, who is normally a hard guy to impress.

The wife of federal appeals judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain is reportedly furious with him for wanting to turn the Pioneer Courthouse Post Office into a private parking garage for himself and his colleagues. É At least, that's the word from last weekend's Dorchester Conference, a Lincoln City get-together for Republican muckety-mucks, where a senior lawyer from Stoel Rives was overheard chuckling about it with one of the conference organizers. É The judge himself will neither confirm nor deny the vile rumor, as well he shouldn't.

Chemistry: Perfect
Followed by the punch line:

What in the world? É Turns out, it's an ad for Domestica, a household cleaning service owned by Shannon Latimer, who probably wouldn't mind if you give her a call at 503-222-2334.

Overheard at Dante's: A Radio Cab driver comes in, yelling, 'OK, who wanted the cab?' The bartender points to a young hipster-looking guy at the bar. É 'Not me,' says the hipster, starting to blush. 'All I wanted was a glass of wine. You know, a É' The cab driver looks at him. 'If it's not too much trouble next time, just say cabernet, OK? É The Classical Chinese Garden folks may not know how their pond could be losing 26 gallons of water a minute, but graphic designer Stephen Sasser has his suspicions. 'Don't they know that just across the street' Ñ at 304 N.W. Second Ave., as a matter of fact Ñ 'there's a little restaurant called Spring Hollow?'

Hold the phone for another nude-in for peace alert. Who knows, maybe this one will even happen. É Theresa Reed, otherwise known as Darklady, is sending out invitations for what she expects will be a 250-person nude anti-war protest on March 16. It's being sponsored by the Explorers Club, a local New Age-y, 'sex-positive' group usually interested in matters like tantric sex. For more information, check out www.explorers-club.com/peace/. É The event will be on private property, says Theresa, but at the proper time the press will be invited. 'Let's just hope Donald Rumsfeld is watching.' É Now, he wouldn't do that, would he?

Stefaan Kindt, Alaska, heeft het genoegen om op maandag 7 juli mevrouw Marlies De Ruiter (OESO) te introduceren op de EMEA Tax meeting van Prime Global in Birmingham.
"I have the Honor to introduce to you Marlies De Ruiter of the OECD.
The agenda of this conference announces Mr. Yves Leterme, Deputy Secretary -General of the OECD as speaker. But a sudden career move decided otherwise. From July on Mr. Leterme will be working for IDEA, the Internatonal Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. IDEA is helping emerging democracy's.
His choice can be inspired by his place of birth.
Just like me Mr. Leterme is Belgian and we do know each other because we come from the same city in Belgium called Ypres. Ypres is very well known in the UK because it was the centre of World War I. Being totally destroyed and rebuilt it became a symbol of the insanity of warfare. The number of Commonwealth casualties was approximately 1 mio. Many of them are burried in my region.
To try to avoid such insanity helping developing democracy's all over the world can only be encouraged.
After the little slice of history back to business. Mr. Leterme is not here so I can speak freely: with Marlies we may even have a yet better speaker!
Marlies de Ruiter is Head of the Tax Treaty, Transfer Pricing and Financial Transactions Division at the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration of the OECD.
Marlies' division is responsible for the Action Points in the BEPS Action Plan relating to Tax Treaties and Transfer Pricing and with that directly responsible for 7 of the 15 Action Points in the BEPS Action Plan. Marlies also participates in the BEPS Management Team steering the BEPS project.
BEPS stands for: base erosion and profit shifting
Before coming to the OECD in 2012, Marlies worked in the fields of direct taxation and international tax issues in the Dutch Ministry of Finance, first as an expert and later as the Deputy Director of the International Tax Policy and Legislation Directorate.
so in one word: she will tell us how to realize a more fair worldwide taxation. And who knows this can contribute to a better world."

The Congress,
1. Referring to:
a. the Committee of Ministers' Statutory Resolution (2000) 1 on the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Europe;
b. the principles laid down in the European Charter of Local Self-Government;
c. its Recommendation 192 (2006) on local and regional elections in Ukraine observed on 26 March 2006;
d. its Recommendations 48 (1998) and 102 (2001) on local and regional democracy in Ukraine;
e. reports CG/BUR (4) 132 rev, CG/Bur (8) 164 on the 1998 and 2002 local and regional elections in Ukraine, adopted by the Bureau of the Congress;
f. its Resolutions 68 (1998) and 123 (2001) on local and regional democracy in Ukraine;
g. the conclusions of the round table on the local and regional elections of 26 March 2006 in Ukraine,
2. Welcomes:
a. the progress made by the Ukrainian authorities concerning the conduction of elections in line with the principles and values of international standards in electoral matters;

Hi Jake,
At this time we do not reference the vertical clearance of bridges when delivering a route. We can deliver routes defined as shortest, fastest, avoiding Highways, and/or avoiding toll roads. This is a concern that I am sure a number of people might find useful. I can share your idea with the appropriate teams for consideration. In the mean time, as I am sure you know, there are some great sites from some state's Department of Transportation and some trucking sites that are great resources for this information.
Hope this helps.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Austin Frakt read my defense of debit card fees on Friday and says today that it all makes perfect sense. But he's still annoyed by them. "That I feel this way is irrational, but I don't care....The irrational, feeling part of me wants things to go back the way they were, even as the economist in me knows things are better now."
Right. Even though we won't admit it, most of us are far more likely to accept hidden costs than transparent costs. After all, they're hidden! We don't really know about them. Austin says there's a lesson here for healthcare:
Many policy experts and economists think it'd be far better if people knew the cost of health care, if they were aware what their full, employer-sponsored premiums cost, etc. I agree. Transparency is the right way to go.
But make no mistake, people will be annoyed. No, that's not right. A $5/month debit card use fee is annoying. Suddenly learning that your income is lower than it would otherwise be by $10,000 because of your "employer-paid" premium is not annoying. It is enraging.
What will Americans do when they finally recognize the full cost of health care?....I think many people will be furious at how much of their paychecks are, effectively, being piped into the pockets of health insurers, health care providers, drug manufacturers, health IT gizmo creators, massive radiology machine developers, other device makers, and government programs. Some will think the return is worth the price. Many will not, particularly those who think insurers are wringing them dry.
Once you start thinking about it, you'll be surprised at just how addicted we all are to hidden costs. There are all the hidden bank fees, of course, which become enraging when they turn into transparent fees and we realize just how high they actually are. There's the hidden cost of healthcare that Austin points to — hidden because, in the American system, employers pay for most of it and most of us never really realize just how much we're really paying.
There are hidden taxes, too. If we want to reduce greenhouse gases, the single best way to do it is via a carbon tax. But that's transparent and produces a gigantic political battle. So instead we end up with direct EPA regulation, something that every economist in the world agrees is less efficient, less effective, and ultimately more costly than a tax. But the cost is hidden, so we all put up with it.
Ditto for tax expenditures, all those subsidies that we give people via breaks on their taxes. They don't seem like government spending, but they are — and they're less efficient than simply flattening the tax code and then making the subsidies directly.
Or there's Matt Yglesias's favorite hobbyhorse, zoning and construction regulations that hide the actual cost of keeping neighborhoods the way current residents like them. Or the hidden cost of supermarket "loyalty" programs, which fool us into providing retailers with valuable information in return for the mere illusion of lower prices.
We hairless apes have a seemingly infinite capacity to enjoy being fooled. But it's worth reminding ourselves every once in a while just how the high the cost really is for preferring inefficient hidden costs to the more efficient transparent kind.

I doing some soccer shopping this morning and driving on Upper Roswell; I was coming from the Mill going towards the 120 Loop. Speed limit is 45 so I'm doing my normal 50-55 at some points. Sometimes traffic was doing 10 "below" the speed limit so I just go into the other lane and accelerate to my normal driving speed and pass everyone.
Well something really pissed this old tan/brown Ford van off. I know I passed this van a while back and he's next to me at a light on Upper Roswell and Johnson Ferry. We're both the second cars as both of us are behind other cars; he's in the left lane and I'm in the right. Light turns green and I'm just driving like normal when I notice the van coming into "my" lane. I let it go figuring he's on the cell phone or just not paying attention. Then he does the same thing again. I'm now thinking to myself what's wrong with this person so I slow down. I figure drinking this early in Cobb County is a little weird. As I start to accelerate to pass him, he come into my lane ... no blinkers, etc. Now he's sitting infront of me and take "both" lanes literally so no tarffic can pass. I just sit back and wait for him to chose a lane. He decides to come into my lane so I use the blinkers and move into the left lane. As I'm about to pass him he comes into my lane yet again w/ no blinkers and hits the brakes? He was a little too close to my car so I was not happy.
I was going to let him slide earlier but this really pissed me off. Pretty boy wouldn't let me pass so I pulled out the cell phone and called 911. I reported a tan/brown van driving below the sped limit in both lanes all over the road and cutting traffic off who's trying to pass. This whole time we're going "below" the speed limit. I gave the operator the license plate and location on Upper Roswell where we're at. She stated that she'll notify the officers in the area so I gave my thanks. Granted maybe nothing happened to the van but at least I said something. The samething happened to me a few years ago when I was in college coming back home around 2am. Why are people so weird?

observer ONLINE
by Dhaneshi YATAWARA
Minister of Social Services and Social Welfare Douglas Devananda
and Northern Province Governor G.A Chandrasiri inspecting the
Ariyalai barrage reconstruction work.
The North of Sri Lanka is different from the rest or the country in
its geography and culture. Its agricultural concepts and practices have
the rich inbuilt qualities. For the Northerners agriculture is the main
economic base. Facilities promoting agricultural sector bear a
significant impact on their economic life.
Located in the dry zone of Sri Lanka, Jaffna, faces shortage of water
vital for its agriculture. There are no streams or rivers in the Jaffna
Peninsula, where the land is largely flat. In addition, the topography
does not permit construction of reservoirs. This makes ground water the
potential source of the peninsula. Paddy cultivation is essentially
rain- fed.
Cash crops and cottage garden crops are mostly irrigated using well
The Jaffna peninsula largely depends on the annual rainfall of about
1270mm received mostly during October to December monsoon rains. The
rain water is collected in wells and it is believed that in the entire
peninsula roughly about 100,000 wells exist. Meanwhile, water pumps came
into use since 1950s.
The supply of adequate fresh water has been the perennial problem of
the peninsula. Studies have already shown that due to over exploitation
of the aquifer in Jaffna peninsula most wells have become brackish. Thus
it is essential to meet the increased demand for supply of fresh water.
"Over pumping the fresh water in the limestone aquifers permits sea
water percolation through the fractured limestone as no part of Jaffna
is more than about 15 kilometres from the sea. Now about 30% of the
wells are saline," Engineers Thiru Arumugam, K. Shanmugarajah and D.L.O.
Mendis states in 'A River for Jaffna' article published in a Colombo
daily in August 2008.
The article was published to commemorate the 103rd Birth anniversary
of Senior Engineer Sanmugam Arumugam, an acknowledged authority on the
country's water resource. The salt water intrusion has its serious
impact on the ground water level, water quality, soil salinity and
related environmental problems.
In 1859, British Colonial Secretary Sir James Emerson Tennant
described the importance of well water for agriculture in Jaffna, as
follows: "The value of these wells is extreme in a country where rivers
and even the smallest stream are unknown, and where the cultivators are
entirely dependent on rains of two monsoons. But such has been the
indefatigable industry of the people, that may be said to have virtually
added a third harvest to the year, by the extent to which they have
multiplied the means of irrigation around their principal towns and
Sir Tennant continues to describe the market gardening that existed
in Jaffna. He says, "In the immediate vicinity of Point Pedro (and the
description applies equally well to the vicinity of Jaffna and the
Western Division of the Peninsula in general), the perfection of the
village cultivation is truly remarkable; it is horticulture rather than
agriculture, and reminds one of the market gardens of Fulham and Chelsea
more forcibly than everything I have seen out of England. Almost every
cottage has a garden attached to it, wherein are grown fruit trees and
flowers, the latter being grown in great quantities for decorations and
offering in the temples. Each is situated in a well-secured enclosure,
with one or more wells."
According to historical records, it was nearly 350 years ago was the
earliest known proposal was made to improve the fresh water in the
peninsula. It was Dutch Captain Hendrile va Reede who conceived the idea
of improving the fresh water supply in the peninsula.
In 1879, Government Agent Twyneham proposed that dams would prevent
salt water from entering the lagoons, which he withdrew later.
Then in 1916 Government Agent Horsberg suggested that as an
experiment the reaches of Vadamarachchi lagoon be made into a fresh
water lagoon by blocking some culverts. This was done in 1920. The
scheme operated successfully for four years but was not made permanent.
Then as records indicate in 1940s the Divisional Engineer Webb, had
produced detailed plans for the Thondamannaru and Ariyalai barrages.
Construction works of the barrage at Thondamannaru had started
following the World War II in 1947 completed in 1953. Then, later the
Ariyalai barrage, where the Upparu lagoon connects the sea, was
completed in 1955. Due to years of negligence and difficulties in
maintaining these barrages the wooden gates and stop logs perished and
sea water has started passing through them freely.
Engineer S. Arumugam published 'A River of Jaffna' in 1954 which
later became famous as the 'Arumugam plan'. The Arumugam plan proposed
to utilize monsoon rain water from the mainland streams for the benefit
of Jaffna people.
As Engineer Mendis has mentioned in his article the openings in the
road and rail bridges in Elephant Pass causeway at the Western and
Elephant Pass lagoon were closed to prevent fresh water going to the
A bund has been built in the 1950's at the Eastern end of Elephant
Pass lagoon at Chundikulam to isolate Elephant Pass lagoon from the sea,
with a spill way provided to discharge excess flood water to the sea.
With these alterations, the lagoon turned in to a fresh water lagoon but
the Chundikulam bund breached by heavy floods allowing sea water to flow
in to the lagoon.
At the Annual Sessions of the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka in
October 2007 a resolution on improving fresh water lagoons was handed
over to President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
A sum of Rs. 100 million was released for restoration of
Thondamannaru barrage. The work is now completed thus initiating the
process of making the Vadamarachchi lagoon a fresh water lagoon.
Also in the Arumugam Plan, a 40 feet wide 2.5 miles long channel,
called the Mulliyan Link Channel was proposed from the North Eastern
side of the Elephant Pass lagoon to convey fresh water from the Elephant
Pass lagoon to the Vadamarachchi lagoon at its southern end. This
included regulatory gates to control the flow. Unfortunately as reports
indicate, only about two and a quarter miles of channel was completed in
the 1960's.
Another link channel has been built between Vadamarachchi and Upparu
lagoons so that the fresh water from Elephant Pass lagoon can be
supplied to Upparu Lagoon via Vadamarachchi lagoon. At present, the
gates are no longer water tight and sea water seeps in to the lagoon.
At the moment, about 11,000 acres of land bordering the Vadamarachchi
and Upparu lagoons are uncultivable. There will be a dramatic
improvement of the 30% of wells in Jaffna which are now saline.
"Fresh water prawn farming can commence on the banks of the lagoons,
with potential for export earnings. Converting the Elephant Pass lagoon
into a 30 square mile fresh water lagoon will provide fresh agricultural
possibilities on both sides of the lagoon i.e. the Jaffna peninsula side
on the North and the Vanni side on the South, once the salinity has been
leached from the soil," Engineer Mendis states in his article.Repairing
of the Arialai Barrage, which is under the consideration of the present
development plan of the Government, will greatly contribute to the
improvement of the fresh water in Jaffna.
According to reports the peninsula originally had about 1000 small
ponds which collected the North East monsoon rain water. But at the
moment many of these ponds are neglected and silted due to poor
maintenance. The authorities have already planned to initiate a project
to reconstruct, rehabilitate and improve and desilt these ponds.
The ground water is the potential for water resources development of
the Jaffna peninsula. Of the 1000 square kilometers of the Jaffna
peninsula about 60% are covered by dwellings, home gardens, roads,
parks, public buildings. About 13% is cultivated with food and
subsidiary crops and 13% is cultivable with rain-fed rice paddy. 4% is
not arable due to salinity. Another 10% is covered by the two lagoons.
Recent reports from agricultural experts conclude stating that more than
4500 hactres of fertile agricultural land have turned saline and have
become unsuitable for cultivation. Thus the uncultivable lands can be
treated for soil salinity if the water table gets stable with more fresh
water seeping in.
The supply of adequate fresh water has been a perennial problem of
the people of Jaffna. And it is important at this stage to ensure an
adequate supply of water meet the increased demand.

(AMERICAN FALLS, ID) – Two California men were arrested in Power County Sunday morning on felony drug charges. Idaho State Police say 25-year-old Jadd Shammas was pulled over for a traffic violation along I-86 near American Falls. During the stop, officers discovered just under 14 pounds of marijuana in the vehicle. Shammas and his passenger, 24-year-old Jedediah Bright, were booked into the Power County Jail. This is the third major drug bust along the I-86 corridor in the past two weeks, resulting in almost 100 pounds of pot being seized.

It's business as usual for CN Rail operations on the first day of the Gitxsan First Nation's eviction notice.
"The British Columbia and Canadian governments are working to address issues raised by Gitxsan chiefs and CN hopes the process will resolve the situation."
That's Mark Hallman with CN who says they continue to have a good relationship with Gitxsan leaders.
Last night Chief negotiator Bev Clifton Percival said there would be "activity" on the tracks.
Percival says the issue is that the crown has failed to consult with First Nations, which means the company is trespassing.
