Health officials remind Minnesotans to practice healthy swimming behaviors this summer
Germs on and in swimmers' bodies can make people sick; actions steps can prevent illness; caution recommended regarding swimming in stagnant or low freshwater when temperature rises
Awareness of illness and healthy swimming behaviors play an important role in stopping the spread of illnesses through recreational water, according to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).
"Germs on and in swimmers' bodies end up in the water and can make other people sick," said Dr. Kirk Smith, epidemiology supervisor for MDH. "Even healthy swimmers can get sick from recreational water, but the young, elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are especially at risk."
The best way to prevent recreational water illnesses is to keep germs out of the water in the first place. Follow these steps for a safe and healthy swimming experience:
- Don't swim when you have diarrhea.
- Don't swallow pool or lake water.
- Practice good hygiene. Shower with soap before swimming.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after using the toilet or changing diapers.
- Take children on bathroom breaks or change diapers often.
- Change diapers in a bathroom, not at poolside or beachside.
From 2000 to 2010, 23 swimming pool outbreaks and 15 beach outbreaks were identified in Minnesota, resulting in over 900 illnesses. The most common symptom of recreational water illness is diarrhea, which frequently is severe enough to result in hospitalization. Symptoms may not begin until a week or more after swimming.
The parasite Cryptosporidium, one of the most common waterborne disease agents, is a chlorine-resistant parasite that can survive and be transmitted even in a properly maintained pool. That's why it's so important to follow the steps above to prevent spreading the illness, health officials said.
If warm weather persists such that water temperatures climb into the 80s, swimmers should be aware of a different but rare kind of risk. The free-living ameba Naegleria fowleri, proliferates in stagnant freshwater lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers when water temperatures exceed 86 degrees F. It causes a very rare but fatal infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis. Thirty cases were reported in the United States from 2000 through 2009. The first confirmed case of this infection in Minnesota was reported in August of 2010. This infection happens when Naegleria gets in the nose and travels to the brain.
"The risk of infection from Naegleria in Minnesota is very low," Smith said. "Swimming is a very healthy summertime activity and we do not want to discourage people from swimming. Rather, simply avoid swimming, diving or other activities in obviously stagnant water when temperatures are high and water levels are low," he said.
Some additional precautions one could take while swimming during extremely warm periods include keeping your head out of the water, using nose clips or holding the nose shut, and avoid stirring up sediment at the bottom of shallow freshwater areas.

Sure he made a lot of crap, but he hired Jack Nicholson man!
As of late critical opinion on Roger Corman has veered from "he sure made a lot of crap, didn't he?" to "sure, he made a lot of crap but some of it is actually good, plus he helped people such as Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicolson, Robert De Niro, Joe Dante and James Cameron early on in their careers."
Critical opinion on Corman has in fact so dramatically changed from the days of being called a schlockmeister" and "King of the B's" that he recently won a lifetime accomplishment Oscar. Heady stuff for the dude who wrote and produced fare such as Attack of the Crab Monsters and The Wasp Woman.
This new documentary takes the latter critical approach of "sure, most of these movies might make you want to gauge your eyes out, but Corman's such a swell guy and besides, he gainfully employed Jack Nicholson for 10 years when no-one else wanted to." And sure, some of them are "cult" gems such as the original Death Race 2000 and Battle Beyond the Stars. Most however is still simply Mystery Science Theater 3000 fodder . . .
But don't let that put you off. Corman's World is a fun and affectionate look at the director / producer's life and career even though it easily skips over the past few decades except for the bit about him making crap for the Syfy channel right now. Interestingly James Cameron does not figure at all in the flick. The man was probably too busy filming Avatar 2 on location in Rigel-6 or whatever.
In short
Along the way this documentary interviews the likes of Nicholson, Ron Howard and (of course) Corman himself. Add some scarce footage and you've got a winner that is sure to please die-hard fans as well as newbies.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome to our site!Students on F1 visa are generally considered nonresident aliens as long as they comply with their visa terms. That is not a matter of choice. Under the residency rules of IRC section 7701(b) most foreign students are considered to be "exempt individuals." That is, they are exempt for extended periods of time from counting days of presence in the United States for the purposes of determining whether they are resident aliens of the United States. Thus, most foreign students remain nonresident aliens in the United States for extended periods of time.
Foreign Student Liability for Social Security and Medicare Taxes - see this page for requirements - http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/Foreign-Student-Liability-for-Social-Security-and-Medicare-Taxes See - Off-campus student employment allowed by USCIS - thus this specific employment has to be authorized by USCIS.As a lawfully employed nonresident with F1 you are not subject to FICA withholding, however, the law requires that FICA tax be withheld from wages received from unauthorized employment. To claim an exemption, you must provide (1) verification of visa status and (2) proof of work permission to the employer.
I-9 form was filled out and now we are completing a W-4 . What do we use use for a SSAN and how do we determine how much Medicare and Social Security and Federal withholding
Students on F1 visa are generally considered nonresident aliens as long as they comply with their visa terms. That means - special authorization is required for any work performed as an employee.In general aliens performing services in the United States as employees are liable for U.S. Social Security and Medicare taxes.Foreign students who work with special authorization as part of their educational process and comply with visa terms are excluded from Social Security and Medicare Tax withholding.
W-4 form directs income tax withholding.
If you are a nonresident alien, see Notice 1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens, before completing this form - www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/n1392.pdf
Line 2. You are required to enter a social security number the highest-paying job and zero allowances are claimed on the (SSN) on line 2 of Form W-4.
Line 3. Check the single box regardless of your actual marital status.
Line 5. Generally, you should claim one withholding allowance.Line 6. Write "nonresident alien" or "NRA" on the dotted line.Line 7. Do not claim that you are exempt from withholding.
If that is Off-campus student employment allowed by USCIS - there is NO Medicare and Social Security.If that is NOT authorized employment - Medicare and Social Security are withheld as for other employees.For income tax withholding - you will use W4 information and withholding tables from IRS publication 15 -
This gentleman does not have a social security card. He has an employment authorization card. It has him as student post- completion opt
For employment purposes - he need to apply for SSN.An employment authorization card is OK - but SSN is needed for tax reporting. Tell him to contact a local SSA office.As he is on OPT - Medicare and Social Security are withheld as for other employees.
Thank you.

ELECTION PREVIEW: Ionia road repairs up for vote
The overall poor standing of roads in Ionia County is no secret to anyone who has traversed a county road.
On Tuesday, voters will have the opportunity to voice their opinion on whether a millage is necessary to improve them.
Ionia County residents will vote on a request for 2 mills that, if approved, would raise approximately $3.1 million countywide for the county, city and village roads, streets and bridges, per year, totaling approximately $18.6 million over six years.
"The revenue generated will not fix the whole road problem in six years, but at least they will not be letting roads get worse for their families and communities," said Ionia County Road Commissioner Albert Almy. "We have a road problem in Ionia County, a big one, and it has been coming and growing for several years."
There are 390 miles of primary paved roads and 684 miles of gravel roads throughout Ionia County, and nearly 65 percent of the county's paved roads are rated in poor condition by the state from many years of a lack of investment of funds.
Almy said 15 counties in Michigan currently have a road millage approved by voters, and now Ionia County, after much discussion and research, is looking that way.
According to Ionia County Road Commission Managing Director Dorothy Pohl, the owner of property with a taxable value of $100,000 would pay approximately $200 toward the millage, while the owner of property with a taxable value of $125,000 would pay $250.
According to a 2012 study by the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PACER) system, 77.7 percent of Ionia County roads are in poor condition, 15.2 percent are in fair condition and only 7.1 percent are rated in good condition.
If the millage were to pass, the estimated revenue that the city of Belding would receive is about $165,000 per year. All revenue collected from Belding residents would stay in Belding to be used for street and bridge work only.
The same PACER study showed that in Belding, 11.8 percent of streets in the city were in "good" condition, 33.4 percent were in "fair" condition and 54.7 percent were in "poor" condition.
According to Belding City Manager Meg Mullendore, those statistics from 2012 have not improved. She said over the period of six years the city would receive "at least" $970,000 in road funding.
"We would really start going to town, spending money, to make improvements to our streets," she said. "We currently don't receive much in funding."

RENO — Shabazz Muhammad missed his final shot as a Bishop Gorman senior on Friday night.
It was about the only thing Muhammad did wrong all game.
The 6-foot-6-inch senior swingman scored 36 points as the Gaels rolled to a 96-51 win over Hug in the Class 4A boys state title game at Lawlor Events Center.
"It means a lot," Muhammad said of the title. "It's a great state title for us, and we just came out and had a lot of fun tonight."
Most of Muhammad's fun came in the first half. He scored 30 points, and was 13-for-14 from the field as the Gaels (28-4) took a 59-25 lead over the Hawks (24-4) at the break. Muhammad was 15-for-17 for the game.
"I think I was in a zone," Muhammad said. "My shot and I was getting to the basket and trying to elevate over them. I did so, and had a great night."
Muhammad had five dunks in the first quarter, including a windmill that was only upstaged by a 360 moments later.
After he was done punishing the rim, Muhammad turned to the perimeter as his final three shots of the half were 3-pointers, including one from 25 feet to close his scoring.
"The first half was quite a display," Gorman coach Grant Rice said. "He's just a special player. And he's going to go down in Nevada history obviously as one of the greats in Nevada high school basketball."
Muhammad's younger brother, Rashad, also had a big first half, scoring all 14 of his points. Rashad Muhammad was 5-for-5 from the field before halftime.
"I probably won't play with him anymore," Shabazz Muhammad said of his younger brother. "It's pretty sad. He did a great job and I love him."
Gorman was 24-for-30 from the field in the first half.
"We shot the ball really, really well," Rice said. "Shabazz had quite a first half. And Rashad came in and showed what he can do."
Rice was quick to credit several other seniors: point guard Gio Guzman, forwards Rosco Allen and Ben Carter, center Demetris Morant and reserve post player Ronnie Stanley. Allen (Stanford), Carter (Oregon) and Morant (UNLV) have all signed to play college basketball.
"Those kind of guys, they're the glue to our team and they do the little things and get it done," Rice said.
Guzman had six assists, Allen had nine rebounds and four assists, Carter had five rebounds, five assists, two blocked shots and two steals, Morant had 12 points and two blocked shots and Stanley grabbed 10 rebounds.
"It's an extremely unselfish team," Rice said. "And Shabazz would be the first to say he gets the spotlight because of his scoring and his highlight dunks and his rankings, but we don't win the championship without all those guys. We don't even come close."
Still, the night belonged to Shabazz Muhammad, who widely is considered the top senior in the country.
"A lot of people may consider him the greatest player to ever come out of Nevada," Carter said. "It's great to play with him and just to see how he finished his career off at Gorman with such a great game. I'm so happy for him."
Rice said he's not sure where this team ranks among the best in state history, but it's hard to imagine too many that were better.
"I've only been coaching 10 or 11 years here, but this group of seniors," he added, "if you go back in history, it would be tough to find a group that's been as talented as a group and has played together as much and accomplished big-time things."
Carter said it was important for the group of seniors to go out with a state title after losing to Bishop Manogue in the state semifinals last season. Gorman won the title two years ago.
"I wanted to win one for myself," Carter said. "That sophomore year, I was on the team, but I didn't really consider it my ring. To earn this one and to be on the floor playing with these guys for the last time, it's a great feeling."
Said Rice: "We told these guys: 'You've got to win this state championship this year to leave a legacy. Even though you guys were on the team two years ago, we had seniors like Johnathan Loyd and Anson Winder leading the way.' I made it clear to those guys that they needed to win one for themselves. And they've been on a mission."

Brandon Rios comments on Adrien Broner "He is a stupid a**, he is a clown, 100% I will knock him out"
Originally written on Fight Hub TV | Last updated 10/6/14
Last week on twitter, former lightweight champion Brandon Rios and current lightweight champion Adrien Broner got into a twitter flaming war, as the two went back and forth online over comments made from both fighters in the last weeks. It all stemmed from a post fight interview Adrien Broner conducted in which he mentioned Brandon Rios after the thought of him facing the former champion was brought up. Last week, Rios responded to those comments by speaking to us in this video here, but he also made some comments to our man Marcos Villegas in this Boxing Channel video. Though we all now know how Rios feels about the young Broner, it is especially interesting to hear his opinions in this video interview as his tone is more aggressive than in other interviews. The banter back in forth between the two fighters makes for some good fun as we all know a Rios-Broner match-up will not happen in the foreseeable future but for the meantime, it sure makes for some LOL moments as we all suffe...

Miller Brooks, Inc.
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. (June 28, 2012) - Rinnai America Corporation, manufacturer of the No. 1-selling tankless water heater brand in North America, and Ryland Homes–Atlanta Division has formed a strategic partnership to bring local homebuilding into the 21st century. The new agreement states that all Ryland Homes–Atlanta Division homes with gas appliances specified, will come standard with a Rinnai® Luxury Series Tankless Water Heater.

"Our HouseWorks® Program is designed to preserve the environment, conserve energy and improve the comfort and lifestyle of our homeowners, and Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters help attain this goal."

We're proud to partner with a builder that is focused on both the environment and the lifestyle homeowners demand."

Capable of delivering up to 9.4 gallons of hot water per minute, the 199,000-BTU level units can provide continuous hot water for up to five plumbing and appliance outlets simultaneously.

Unfortunately, the same desirable climate that makes Turks and Caicos so special also makes it a perfect home for pests. Cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, rodents and other common pests thrive in the islands' warm, moist environment. Unchecked, they can hurt your business by undermining your hard-earned reputation, causing expensive property damage or threatening your visitors' and employees' health.
We won't let that happen.

Date of Stay: July, 2015
Stopped at this park on our way home from the redwoods. The man who checked us in was very nice and since there was only one other RV there, he let us park at the end spot along the lake even though our rig is 35 ft. The site was concrete, level and shaded by some large trees. These sites are so narrow I doubt if you could even put your slideouts out if there was someone next to you. There are pull thru sites across the street that have more room between sites. If it is not 100+ degrees, the sites across the street would be ok, there is just very little shade. It was fine for an overnight stay.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Nice park. Only a few shaded spots. Long pull-throughs. Pool has shaded canopies to sit under and a grassy area. We always stay here when in the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
When I made the reservation at this park I was told we had a pull-through with w/e/sewer. When we arrived we were told to drive through the park and pick a sight (a few back-ins were available) and that all sites with sewers were taken. We have a 35' with a tow. The roads were so narrow, filled with huge holes, steep hills and sharp turns that we drove through and left this park.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Very nice, clean park. Not really any shade. We were escorted to our site by a very nice man. The only drawback to this park is getting there. The pavement ends and it is a dirt road for quite a ways, so the rig behind us was fully covered in dust.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
This is the only campground so close to the Devils Tower so we stayed here. The sites were OK but we had a very wide deep hole next to us with no tape or fencing around it, so it was an accident waiting to happen. There was no soap or even a dispenser in the restrooms. No toilet paper at all in the men's restroom. Three of the 7 showers had no lights (but plenty of spiders). One had no shower curtain and the one I used, the shower curtain fell down while I was in there. We would not stay here again.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI is decrying the commercialization of Christmas and urging the faithful to look beyond the holiday's "superficial glitter" to discover its true meaning.
Benedict made the comments Saturday night as he presided over Christmas Eve Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. The Mass kicks off an intense two weeks of public appearances that will test the 84-year-old pontiff's stamina amid signs that fatigue is starting to slow him down.
In his homily, Benedict laments that Christmas' commercialization obscures the simplicity of the message of Christ's birth.
He says: "Let us ask the Lord to help us see through the superficial glitter of this season, and to discover behind it the child in the stable in Bethlehem..."
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Christmas Eve Mass on Saturday night, kicking off a busy two weeks of public appearances that will test his stamina.
Wearing cream and gold colored vestments, Benedict processed into St. Peter's Basilica standing on a moving platform — a new concession to spare the 84-year-old pontiff the fatigue of having to walk up and down the long center aisle.
Hours before the evening Mass began, Benedict lit a candle in his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square in a traditional sign of peace. A few hundred people had gathered in the square to watch the candle lighting and the unveiling of the Vatican's larger-than-life nativity scene.
The Christmas Eve Mass was moved up to 10 p.m. from midnight several years ago to spare the pope a late night that is followed by the important Christmas Day "Urbi et Orbi" speech, Latin for "to the city and the world." The speech, delivered from the central loggia of St. Peter's overlooking the piazza, is usually a survey of sorts of the hardships and wars confronting the globe. At the end of it, Benedict is also due to deliver Christmas greetings in dozens of languages.
Next weekend, he'll preside over a New Year's Eve vespers service, followed by a New Year's Day Mass. A few days later he'll celebrate Epiphany Mass followed by his traditional baptizing of babies in the Vatican's frescoed Sistine Chapel.
Security was expected to be tight Saturday night as it has been in recent years. In both 2008 and 2009 there were Christmas Eve security breaches, in which a woman with a history of psychiatric problems and wearing a telltale red sweat shirt jumped the wooden security barrier along the basilica's central aisle.
In 2008, the pope's security detail blocked her from getting to Benedict. But in 2009, she managed to grab Benedict's vestments and pulled him to the ground. The pope was unhurt and continued along with the service, but a French cardinal who was nearby fell and broke his hip.

Insurer Failures:
Property/Casualty Insurer Insolvencies and State Guaranty Funds
GGD-87-100: Published: Jul 28, 1987. Publicly Released: Jul 28, 1987.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information on property/casualty insurance company insolvencies, specifically the: (1) incidence of insolvencies; (2) characteristics of selected insolvent companies; and (3) system of state guarantee funds established to pay claims against insolvent insurance companies.
GAO found that: (1) the incidence of insolvencies has generally followed the profitability cycle of the property/casualty insurance industry, and has been geographically widespread; (2) there were about 140 insolvencies from 1969 through 1986, 42 percent of which occurred after 1983; (3) the number of companies designated for regulatory attention due to troubling financial conditions increased from 132 in 1978 to 590 in 1986; (4) insolvencies in the late 1960's and 1970's generally could be attributed to companies that were small, handled mostly automobile insurance, and operated in one state or on a regional basis; and (5) there were no characteristics or trends common to the companies that were liquidated from 1977 through 1986. GAO also found that: (1) claims against insolvent insurers are paid from assessments states levy on the companies they license; (2) there is considerable variation in states' administration of such funds; and (3) inconsistencies in state fund laws have caused confusion and conflict and raised questions on whether the state-by-state approach is appropriate.

I went to ChrisEleanor's every week from the age of 8! I was there 2 or 3 times a week when I was in HS. That place was my 2nd home, I loved ballet & I loved Chris - Eleanor was gone by then (late 60s thru 1976, when I graduated HHS). It was on Court St near Washington, I think the bldg is now used for county offices. Have such great memories of ballet lessons there.

Does anyone remember Rivenbergs at the corner of King Street?
This is going back, remember when the politicians finally opened the poolhouse after marching down South Main Street, pool was on the southside, I think there is/was a motel there. The kids (me) were thrilled to have a bath house divided down th middle one-side for boys, the other for the girls. The canal took many a young persons life back in the day, we were sooo happy to have that pool in the summers.

I also remember Jimmy' Stuffed Shirts Pizza, Quinto's Pizza,(Pizza then was under $5.00 for a large pie).. Herkimer Chief , Messick's, Aiello's Markets...TP Drive in (Mexican Hots)....Herkimer Bowling Alley... Late night Study for exams with a break at Dan Dee Donuts for great fresh ground coffee and fresh made donuts. I remember the woman that worked midnights was so nice...Anyone remember her name? Woods Tire I remember when school started my roommate had a bad tire and they gave him credit for a pair of tire until his student loan check came in (over a week).
HERKIMER BACK THEN WAS VERY LOW CRIME ALSO... I knew someone that got a disorderly conduct for spinning his wheels in the parking lot at Chicago Market and the School found out he was fined $15 and HCCC put in on probation and he could not play sports that semester.
I remember the people of Herkimer being so friendly and it was being in a time warp 40 years earlier.

Indoor/Outdoor Drape Panels and Rods
You know all of those citations you keep getting for standing in your living room naked? Oh, you don't get those? Well ... really, you're sure that's never happened to you? So I'm the only one who didn't realize I could put these drapes over my windows while I'm getting dressed? I am? Hmm, that's embarrassing.

The filmmakers must have imagined sparky, engaging conversation between these duos similar to a high-speed tennis bout between skillful pros; what emerges is more comparable to a lazy afternoon table-tennis knockabout in an old people's home. While these pairs talk and talk and then talk some more, either directly or indirectly touching on some current and always broad American political divisions, we witness some action in the dark mountains of Afghanistan and the tragedy of two soldiers played by Derek Luke and Michael Peña. We later discover that these two young men are former students of Redford who, considering how best to engage in political discourse, have boldly decided to enlist. And so with these two men on the mountainside, the film's plot is complete: Redford and Carnahan know all too well that 'important' Hollywood movies these days must have circular stories that tie together different, apparently unrelated strands in a flash of slightly corrupted chronology. That way lies universality, greatness and sometimes even awards.
Back to the two soldiers – I'm not sure whether we're meant to think that these young men are regretting their choice to join the army or that we're meant to see them as ordinary heroes as they find themselves surrounded by shadowy armed figures on a deserted mountain-side. They emerge as both – not an entirely different perspective to writer Matthew Michael Carnahan's recent 'The Kingdom' in which he also argued that Our Boys – or Their Boys – are suffering the effects of poor decisions by central government. It's a crafty – some might say cowardly – way of ensuring both dissent and patriotism in the same film. There's another scene here in which Cruise gives a monologue, the message of which amounts to: 'Don't ever forget 9/11'. He's a smarmy politician and we're not meant to trust him, yet the music blares up for this speech. It's have-your-cake-eat-it time.
politics of this film are basic beyond belief, which would be
acceptable is they weren't also so muddled and unconvincingly
expressed. Apathy is a theme: the promising student is obviously a
symbol of latent intelligence which, if roused, might make for a more
varied and powerful political debate among the American people. Yet
this tack is heavily compromised by the casting of the director in the
role of the selfless humanitarian with a message; personally, I don't
like being lectured by Hollywood millionaires, especially when their
script bears little evidence of real engagement with ideas. The
conversation between Redford and Garfield – about grabbing life by the
balls, about avoiding regrets, about whether to engage or just to coast
along through life – is not very interesting or credible. It's very
stagey, and its point is made early on. Some lines are designed for
Oscar-night clips: 'Rome is burning son,' says Redford, 'and the
problem is with us.'
Over in Washington, the pairing of Cruise and Streep has a little more dynamism to it. Cruise is fairly charismatic as a teflon politician who tries to charm and flatter Streep into delivering the good news of a new offensive action in Afghanistan, batting away any suggestions that there might be a draft coming and declining to dwell on past errors. But Streep looks like she doesn't buy a word of her character's apparent transformation from willing servant of a television network to someone who two hours later throws her editor the most hackneyed line – 'You were good once' – while refusing to spin in the usual fashion the government story fed to her by Cruise. Are we meant to believe that this woman who writes features for Time magazine and is a leading American journalist with decades of experience is only jolted into chronic self-doubt and able finally to see that television networks may push a populist agenda after an unexceptional hour-long conversation with a senator about a quite unremarkable foreign policy development? I know Tom Cruise is meant to be charming, but come on... The look on Streep's face says it all: unconvinced. When she steps out of an anonymous government building in Washington, we're supposed to recall 'All The President's Men'. That film puts this nonsense to shame.

Those that don't understand this film are the people that would be represented by Tom Cruise. Stupid, ambitious and above all Trevor Johnson. Time Out really got their monies worth with this fool!

It is not a new thing for young men to be duped into going to war, it has been happening for centuries. The army were at my son's Primary school teaching the children to march, and they had not even consulted the parents beforehand. I think the job of the army is to defend us against attack, but not to interfere in the poltics of other countries. You do not see the Australians or the Swedish getting involved the way America and Britain do. There are lots of evil regimes in the world and the way to deal with them is to shame them in the way that apartheid was shamed. But blasting people with rockets is really not a civilised way to behave, and makes us no better than them. This was a very unusual film and perhaps the reason people do not like it us because they expect special effects and explosions and car chases. I agree that it was more like a play than a movie, but the script is excellent, as are all the performances. I am glad this movie was made and I hope it provokes people to think about the "war on terror" and whether that is what it really is, or is it just a question of America and Britian protecting their economic interests abroad.
this is the worst film ever,its not a triller,documentry,action film,love story,war film,its americans blown there own trumpet about how educated,and more advanced to the rest of us.newsflash...their not
Probably the worst movie I've ever seen. It looks like someone gave some big hollywood stars a lot of money to read a school boy's drivel. It is inconceivable that any studio ever released such nonsense. Robert Redford,l have followed you all my movie going career, but this is one I'm just going to forget you had anything to do with. Too mind bloggling bad to contemplate. Don't even buy the DVD.
well, i didnt understand the film, i thought that if it was on a saturday, it could have benn much better, but no, it was on a friday .... i mean who do they think i am .... even though i am not part of it, it must be said i am.
Within the first 15 minutes, this movie, which started with a lot of promise, gets dull and boring. I don't think it is worth the effort of watching it.
An earnest and well-intentioned film which attempts to deal with the problem of how America was duped into a nasty and seemingly endless war. Trouble is, the people who have by now realised that they were duped will find nothing new here. And those who still do not realise they were duped do not go to see this type of film. I admire Redford and I hear he put a lot of his own money into this film. This must be another proof of the man's decency and altruism, Unfortunately altruism alone does not make good films and this one is stagey, lacking in drama and somewhat tedious in parts. Meryle and Tom put on a good show but, being boxed into a room all the time, their potential is wasted. Full marks to Robert, but low marks for his film. It just doesn't work.
A very earnest film with excellent intentions. To wit: the Iraq war is an endless quagmire and unless we (the American public) wake up to that there's no end in sight. Also, we (the American press and the the American public) were duped once before so we should not believe in 'new strategies announced by politicians during the run up to electionor we will end up getting duped again. And so on. Thing is, those who already know they were duped won't find anything new here. And those who do not know they were duped do not go to see a film like this. I admire Redford and I'm told he put a lot of his own money into this and this must be another good mark towads his reputation for altruism. Unfortunately altruism alone doesn't make good films and this one is static and sometimes quite boring and ultimately leaves one thinking that it is just another hand-wringing exercise by the Americans on the theme of 'how could we, such a kind and loving people, have gotten ourselves into such a nasty mess'. 'The Deerhunter', Platoon' and other films had a similar theme but made far better use of it. So, full marks to Robert (and Meryle and Tom certainly do their best), but not a good film.
This film is worth seeing for Meryl Streep's performance which was incredible. Contrary to what some fellow reviewers have written, the film was interesting and emotionally and intellectually gripping. This perhaps is not the type of film for the person who wants to see a film to be entertained but more for the person who has an interest in political issues and great performances. Cruise was convincing as a charismatic Senator and Redford had some thought provoking lines.

This is not a good film. If you want a film that's interesting, engaging, gripping or anything else that's positive, go and see something else. If you want a film you can fidget in, get bored in, consider leaving - repeatedly - and come out saying, 'That was really rubbish', then this is the film for you. Quite a Republican film, lots of references to 'the axis of evil', and 'they attacked us first' - Afghanistan, apparently; if George Bush didn't write this film he certainly approved the script, wholeheartedly. Nothing much happens, zero on the tension front, seen more gripping breakfast cereals. Good performances from Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise and Robert Redford, either they were fed Rohypnol when they agreed to do the film or they're closet Republicans or half the film was cut out. Though, finally, after an hour and a half's waiting and without warning a really good thing did happen, it ended. You have been warned.
Worst film that I have seen this year bar none! Tom Cruise was unconvincing as a Senator and I didn't feel that I was being entertained. After half an hour I could have happily walked out of the cinema.

We report the first direct measurement of the Dirac point, the Fermi level, and the work function of graphene by performing internal photoemission measurements on a graphene/SiO2/Si structure with a unique optical-cavity enhanced test structure. A complete electronic band alignment at the graphene/SiO2/Si interfaces is accurately constructed. The observation of enhanced photoemission from a one-atom thick graphene layer was possible by taking advantage of the optical interference in the SiO2 cavity. The photoemission yield was found to follow the well-known linear density-of- states dispersion in the vicinity of the Dirac point. At the flat band condition, the Fermi level was extracted and found to reside 3.3 eV below the bottom of SiO2 conduction band. When combined with the shift of the Fermi level from the Dirac point we are able to unambiguously ascertain the position of the Dirac point at 3.6 eV with respect to the bottom of the SiO2 conduction band; yielding a work function of 4.5 eV which is in an excellent agreement with theory.

|st: RE: Bar color in complex bar graph
|Fri, 27 May 2005 08:36:19 +0100
You need to tell it to change bar 1 (all of the bars are "bar 1" because you are using -ascategory-), so add: bar(1, bcolor(red*.5) blc(red*.8)) (Although I have to say red*.5 is one of the most hideous colours known to mankind... what's wrong with blue?) David -----Original Message----- From: Margo Schlanger [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: 27 May 2005 02:15 To: email@example.com Subject: st: Bar color in complex bar graph I feel kind of dumb for this one, but I've worked on it and come up only with a very tedious workaround. I'm hoping someone knows a better way for next time . . . I'm running a fairly complicated bar chart: graph bar (asis) portion1-portion12 if year > 1983, ylabel(0(.1).2, grid) ascategory by(dummy year, [other options]) the variables (portion1-portion12) name 12 variables, each of which is labeled. So here's my question. It defaults to blue, and I need it to be red. (In particular, bcolor(red*.5) blc(red*.8)). But I can't figure out how to get the color to work as syntax). No matter where I put it, I get an error message. (I can do this by omitting the ascategory, and then doing it bar by bar, but then I have to label the bar widths, too, and I figure there's got to be a better way.) Any help is much appreciated.

The color pros at Pantone would approve of these must-have shades—and we couldn't agree more. Universally flattering on all skin tones, each hue is daring, but not so out-there that we can't wear it in the office or to dinner with Grandma.
I have this polish in the red color. It's not the ideal red for my fair, cool-toned skin, but it applies nicely and smoothly. Almost fully opaque in one coat, which is nice, but as usual a second coat perfects the look. However, even with my favorite top coat, this polish starts chipping after only one or two days of wear. Disappointing!2

Date of Stay: April, 2012
Lots of trees and some grass. Friendly and helpful on site managers. Not much to do in the area if you do not fly fish or use the mineral pools.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
There was no shade, no grass, all gravel. You were packed in like sardines. The dirt walking trails were so overgrown that you could not find them. There were no benches in the shower stalls to put clean clothes or towels. The toilets only had curtains for privacy. The permanent residence did not have to obey the same rules as over night visitors. Would not recommend and would not stay there again.

Study: Idaho Falls is 2nd-happiest city
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Researchers on the East Coast are giving the people of Idaho Falls something to smile about.
A new study from the University of Vermont says Idaho Falls is the second happiest city in the country.
Researchers took to Twitter, analyzing 10 million tweets from nearly 400 U.S. cities.
The study assigned higher numerical value to "positive" words, including "cafe," "pub," "art" and "library." Negative words like "bored," "hate," "tired" and "stupid" were given low value.
The analysis aligns with a surge of new coffee shops and bars in Idaho Falls, plus the city's proximity to world-class skiing and national parks.
"We've got a good clean city, we've got home prices that are fairly low if you look at home prices compared to other areas of the country. I think it's a great place to raise children and I think people are generally nice to one another," said Dr. John Landers, a psychologist at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. "If you're in a higher-cost area, where people are struggling with unemployment and meeting their basic needs, then they're not going to be able to focus on those happier things."
"I can't imagine what city would be happier than the overall here," said Idaho Falls resident Walter Roth.
The only city that did rank higher was Napa, Calif., otherwise known as "wine country."
"They have a chemical inducement, so it's not fair!" Landers joked.
Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman thinks the key to happiness is simple.
"We're very blessed to have the people that we do, who go out of the way and serve other people. Of course we're going to be happy," Fuhriman said.

Each year since his untimely passing family and friends gather at the Washington Township Fire Department to celebrate the life and accomplishments of a remarkably gifted individual, Drew Shearin. Saturday August 2, is the annual Drew's Gift of Music and Stuff.
Drew was only 17 years old when he lost his life in a car accident. Though he was young, he had mastered a number of instruments, served as drum major of the Knox High School Band, composed his own concert pieces and won two composition awards from the Indiana Music Educator's Association, not to mention touched the lives of so many people.
In honor of his memory his family started the Drew's Gift of Music foundation. Part of the mission behind the foundation is providing instruments to aspiring musicians who can't afford them. An instrument drive will be a part of this year's event. If you bring an instrument it will pay for your dinner ticket. The foundation also collects money for a scholarship given to young musicians every year.
There will be a variety of other events as well, including a motorcycle ride, a truck ride and hog roast with live entertainment and auctions.
Registration for the motorcycle ride begins at 11 a.m. It is $20 for one rider and $30 with a passenger. This price includes a t-shirt and the dinner ticket(s). Riders will leave from the Washington Township Fire Department around noon and return around 4 p.m.
Registration for the truck ride begins at noon and drivers will depart around 1 p.m and return at approximately 4 p.m. The truck ride is $20 for the driver and an additional $10 for each passenger. The price includes one t-shirt and the dinner ticket(s).
Doors open at the Washington Township Fire Department for the hog roast at 4 p.m. Tickets for adults are $10 and are $5 for children under 7 years old. The live and silent auctions will take place from 5 until 6 p.m. Live entertainment is provided from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m.
Drew's Gift of Music is this Saturday at the Washington Township Fire Department in Knox at 20 N. State Road 23.

Jitters on the first day of 4G operations
By Ted Chen, The China Post Saturday, May 31, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan --Yesterday marked the first day of commercial operations for Taiwan's first 4G mobile broadband network, launched by Chunghwa Telecom (中華電) on Thursday. However, it was not without first day jitters and misgivings among subscribers.
Despite the overwhelming volume of inquiries at Chunghwa Telecom service outlets, reports indicate that a number of current 3G subscribers remain tentative about upgrading to 4G due to numerous lingering concerns over cost, the compatibility of their current mobile device and questions concerning the fledgling network's stability.
A number of subscribers also complained that they were notified by Chunghwa Telecom service representatives that 4G service is only offered to first-time subscribers and that the option to upgrade their existing mobile numbers to 4G is not currently available.
Internet forums gave inklings of Chunghwa Telecom's first day 4G jitters with users reporting slower than expected data transmission speeds during tests at various MRT stations throughout Taipei City.
Most notably, subscribers expressed concerns over the lack of unlimited mobile data usage plans for 4G, stating that with the same usage pattern, the cost of 4G is not comparatively cheaper than 3G, as claimed by telecom carriers, due to the fact that connection speeds will be throttled beyond the allotted usage amount.
Apple Handsets not 4G Compatible until End of June
Meanwhile, users of Apple's popular iPhone handsets, including the iPhone 5, 5C and 5S variants, may not utilize the 4G network until the company's firmware update is released toward the end of June. For Android-based smartphones, HTC yesterday announced that timely firmware updates will be released to allow for 4G compatibility for six handset models, the One M7's LTE variant, the One Max, the Butterfly S 4G LTE variant, the Desire 816 and Desire 610. Samsung stated yesterday that the firmware for its Galaxy S5, Note 3 LTE, and Note 3 Neo handsets have been upgraded with 4G compatibility.
3G to 4G Upgrade for Current Subscribers Dependant on Regulatory Approval
Chunghwa Telecom yesterday stated that the National Communication Commission (NCC) has yet to approve carriers to upgrade their subscribers' existing 2G or 3G accounts to 4G, explaining why its 4G service is only available to first-time subscribers or customers seeking to acquire an additional cellular number.
The company stated that as the market for mobile phone users in Taiwan is approaching full saturation, upgrading its existing 3G usership to 4G remains its top priority. The company expects to overcome regulatory hurdles as soon as possible and offer 3G-to-4G upgrades in early June. According to the company, about 70 percent of its 4 million 3G subscribers are under NT$1,343 monthly contracts and, following regulatory approval, 3G-to-4G upgrades will be made available to current 3G subscribers at no additional cost and without extended contract periods.

When Jon Papernick sits down to write, he imagines a tiny rabbi sitting on his shoulder, guiding his Jewish education, which he explores through craft of writing short stories. The author of the collections "The Ascent of Eli Israel" and most recently "There is No Other," Papernick was a journalist in Israel after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and before he began writing harrowing, often satirical stories about Jewish identity and faith.
He is a father, an on-the-page problem solver and sufferer of celiac disease — an autoimmune intolerance of wheat, which he wrote about recently in the New York Times. Come October, yet another identity will emerge: Papernick: The Book Peddler. To overcome a handicap many authors face — limited availability in major bookstores — he will sell his fiction by homemade pushcart in New York City, in the immigrant tradition. Papernick hopes to connect to new readers by actually placing his books in their hands.
He journeyed from Boston to talk with me.

Bad experience at Munhall
We had a very bad experience at Munhall and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The vet was very rough with Izzie, called him vicious, and had him muzzled...which Izzie is many things, but vicious is not one of them. Stay away!

Washington — The decision to launch a divestment campaign against Sudan has once again put the Jewish community at the forefront of the struggle against mass killing in Darfur.
Delegates to the annual plenum of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs — 10 national organizations, the synagogue movements and 122 local communities nationwide — passed a resolution this week calling on Jewish communities to end all investments in companies that are "directly or indirectly helping the Sudanese government perpetuate genocide."
Despite nearly wall-to-wall support among Jewish organizations for intense international pressure on the Sudanese government to crack down on militias accused of carrying out massacres, the idea of initiating a divestment campaign turned out to be a thorny issue, with some organizations fearing that such a step could end up complicating the fight against those calling for boycotts of Israel.
"Divestment is a very bad thing that will come back and bite us on the backside," argued Elihu Davison, a member of the JCPA executive committee, during Monday's open debate on the resolution held at the Omni Shorham Hotel in Washington. This concern was echoed by many other delegates, who have been fighting divestment campaigns in their local communities aimed at Israel.
A delegate from Cleveland said, "Divestment should be one of the seven dirty words," suggesting that the term be replaced by a word not as easily associated with anti-Israel efforts.
But supporters of the resolution, which was sponsored by the Union for Reform Judaism, the American Jewish Committee, Jewish War Veterans and 13 local Jewish Community Relations Councils, or JCRCs, were not willing to make changes.
"I don't like the Presbyterians making us not use that word," Shelly Shapiro of New York said. Shapiro was referring to the Presbyterian Church (USA), the largest organization to have approved some sort of resolution calling for divestment from Israel. On domestic issues, the JCPA lived up to its liberal reputation. The resolutions approved this week included opposition to tax cuts that affect funding of social programs at the federal and state levels, a call for more regulations on handguns, reaffirmation of the Jewish community's commitment to human rights, endorsement of immigration reform and a call to end America's dependence on foreign energy sources.
The resolution dealing with energy, which has become a leading cause on the agenda of many key Jewish groups, framed the issue primarily as a national security concern, stressing the need to free America from its dependence on oil coming from regimes that support terrorism. The majority of Plenum delegates rejected amendments, proposed by local federations, that would have put an equal emphasis on the need to conserve energy.
Several speakers in favor of the resolution said that Israeli officials have made clear that a divestment campaign against Sudan would not harm attempts to shield Israel from similar efforts. Supporters of the resolution also argued that divestment could be a useful tool in pressuring the government in Khartoum to allow international forces to secure the Darfur region.
The American Jewish Congress wanted an amendment to the resolution that would mention the need for military intervention in case divestment and economic sanctions do not work. The amendment, which was brought up at the last minute, was eventually pulled back by the AJCongress. After the vote, the group's director of international affairs, David Twersky, said that the resolution would have been more effective had it focused on more than just economic sanctions. "Our people are so allergic to any kind of military intervention," Twersky said.
The language adopted on Sudan calls for "targeted divestment," which would focus on companies dealing with the Khartoum government, making sure civilians are not harmed from these economic measures. Sudan's main source of foreign currency is its oil revenues. Its biggest client is China.
Ruth Messinger, president of American Jewish World Service, which has already launched its own divestment campaign against Sudan, commended the JCPA for the resolution and for recognizing that "we must use whatever means we have available to make 'Never Again' a reality."
In sharp contrast to the debate surrounding the divestment resolution, an argument was averted over a resolution regarding the fate of Israeli settlers evacuated from Gaza, thanks to a last-minute compromise.
The resolution, sponsored by the Orthodox Union and by B'nai B'rith International, called on the Jewish community to help Israelis affected by last summer's Lebanon war and former settlers evacuated in 2005 during the Gaza disengagement. "This is simply a matter of humanitarian concern," said David Luchins of the O.U. when presenting the resolution. Hadassah and the Anti-Defamation League opposed the linkage made between the plight of those affected by Hezbollah's attacks against Israel and those who were displaced following the Israeli government's decision to withdraw from Gaza.
A last-minute deal brokered by the Reform movement divided the issues into separate resolutions, both of which were approved by an overwhelming majority.
Last week, B'nai B'rith became the first and only member organization to adopt a platform opposing any further unilateral withdrawals by Israel.
The resolution, adopted by B'nai B'rith's executive committee at its meeting in Boca Raton, Fla., expresses opposition to any territorial compromise by Israel if it is not part of a negotiated agreement with the Palestinians.
"B'nai B'rith International remains committed to a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians," the resolution reads.
"However, given the experience of Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, and deeply concerned over the Hamas-rejectionist-led Palestinian Authority, we are now opposed to further such withdrawals or any territorial modifications absent good faith bilateral negotiations between the parties."
Dan Mariaschin, B'nai B'rith's executive vice president, said that "this is not an ideological vote, but rather a practical look at the situation on the ground." He also pointed out that the organization was among the first groups to endorse then-prime minister Ariel Sharon's proposal for a unilateral pullout from Gaza.

The house smells amazing.
We took these to the Hawkesbury today. The weather was hot, humid and windy. Poppet struggled with the heat before falling asleep in her stroller with a hibiscus print muslin wrap draped over it to keep the sun and the flies off her sweet sweaty skin.
Sweetie was beet red and desperately unhappy until he found a spot in the cricket chair under the shade of a willow on the banks. Those willows may not be good for our rivers but they are languorously beautiful and lent a little shade to our unhappy picnickers today.
G, J and JW swam in the tea stained water along the banks of the river and took turns riding on the flat deck tube squealing with delight as they bounced along the wake and the hot wind tore through their hair. They sat on the edge of their seats with their hands gripping the boat rails and their eyes wide as their aunts and uncles (and dad) took turns water skiing. C watched from the banks, joining in the swimming but not joining in the tubing until she had watched everyone else take their turns and then she rallied herself and had a go. She has a deep and impressive strength that girl. It is not as easy for her to be brave as it is for some of the others but she breathes deeply into her belly, takes her time and then goes for it. Every time I see it it amazes me. I admire her.
They ate chicken and lettuce rolls for lunch, drank bottles of water warmed by the day to quench their thirst and proudly shared the gingerbread they had made and decorated.
I waded in 'til the water was over my knees and the hem of my dress was wet to be close enough in case my little ducklings wandered a little too far out or forgot about the current coaxing them downstream. My new brother-in-law came past on the ski kicking up a spray to impress the children and showered me with warm river water. My hat and dress were soaked but it was the kind of day where things like that are delightful and not annoying.
We listened to Haim, Flight of the Conchords and Passenger in the car on the way home with the a/c turned up high and everyone safely clipped in to their seats. We sang loudly, wondered aloud about how lucky we were to have had such a great day and then the little ones fell into that lovely sun-warrmed sleep. Mr Duyvken and I carried them into the house when we got home feeling their warm cheeks on our shoulders and laid them gently on their beds so they could sleep off some of the heat.
We hung out load after load of laundry and talked about our Christmas plans, and as we passed pegs to each other under the clothesline I felt the wet grass beneath my bare feet, the warm breeze on the damp hair at the nape of my neck, and a deep contentment settled within. I want to remember this, I said, I am truly happy.
Contentment and joy to you, dear reader, with lots of love from me.
