Well, Virginia Governor Robert "Bob" McDonnell abjectly apologized today for declaring April to be Confederate History Month and neglecting to mention slavery. He issued a five-paragraph statement admitting "a major omission" in a proclamation that was somehow "issued by this Office." Ah, the passive voice: God's gift to politicians caught with their pants down.
"The proclamation issued by this Office designating April as Confederate History Month contained a major omission. The failure to include any reference to slavery was a mistake, and for that I apologize to any fellow Virginian who has been offended or disappointed. The abomination of slavery divided our nation, deprived people of their God-given inalienable rights, and led to the Civil War. Slavery was an evil, vicious and inhumane practice which degraded human beings to property, and it has left a stain on the soul of this state and nation…
The rest is mostly talking about the good stuff he's done and how he meant well. He also issued an additional paragraph for the original proclamation, filling in those pesky missing details. It goes like this:
WHEREAS, it is important for all Virginians to understand that the institution of slavery led to this war and was an evil and inhumane practice that deprived people of their God-given inalienable rights and all Virginians are thankful for its permanent eradication from our borders, and the study of this time period should reflect upon and learn from this painful part of our history…
The Washington Post's Lee Hockstader fills in some useful context on the apology:
It took more than 24 hours, but McDonnell finally got that. That's good. What disturbing, though, is how stubborn he was to get it, initially downplaying slavery's significance as just one of "any number of aspects to that conflict between the states." (What history books has this guy been reading?)What really seems to have opened the governor's eyes was one person: Sheila Johnson. Johnson, the African-American co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, was a key backer – the key backer – of McDonnell's campaign. Her support was so important to McDonnell that barely a day passed when he didn't mention it, and she was featured front-and-center in his campaign advertising. Single-handedly, she conferred respectability on him not only as conciliatory on race, but as pro-business.

By: Paolo M. Bustamante
For some reason, exploring the city of Manila makes my stress go away. I needed a break from school, friends and from my life because for some reason drama keeps on following me wherever I go. Drama keeps popping out of nowhere, but when I am in Manila, all of my problems go away. Last Thursday, before going to school, I visited of one of the oldest buildings in Binondo, the El Hogar Building.
The last time that I visited the El Hogar Building was 5 months ago when I saw the Younghusband brothers shooting for a hair commercial. When I saw the Younghusband brothers back then, I remember screaming my lungs off because they are so finnnne. For some reason their charm makes smart girls lose their minds.
Going back, I was there standing in front of the El Hogar Building. It is just so irresistible to look at. The building has this elegant vibe but only a few people could appreciate the beauty of this building. Despite of the rapid depreciation of the the El Hogar, there are still evident traces that would show that it is still gleaming with beauty. You can see that it is very much neglected and the building is deteriorating. It is simply screaming for a serious facelift. If only I had the money to glamorize this building, I will surely pimp it with style.
The El Hogar Building was built as a wedding gift for the union of a Zobel Daughter and a Peruvian Court and it was finished back in 1914 but some account say that the El Hogar was built in 1911. The beautiful beaux-arts structure was designed by architect Goyena. It housed the offices of the lending company, El Hogar Filipino. It is the origin headquarters of the Ayala Life Insurance Company. After the Second World War, the building was bought by the Fernandez clan who still run this building till this day.

In the wake of James 'Tony Soprano' Gandolfini's death, we look back at some of his best quotes from hit HBO series The Sopranos.
Known for his charismatic, complex and sometimes violent character, the boss of the DiMeo crime family had a distinct worldview.
Here are some of his most memorable lines, penned by series creator David Chase.
1. On love: "Well, when you're married, you'll understand the importance of fresh produce."
2. On therapy: "This psychiatry s***, apparently what you're feeling is not what you're feeling and what you're not feeling is your real agenda."
3. "Is this a woman thing? You ask me how I'm feeling. I tell you how I'm feeling, and now you're going to torture me with it."
4. "Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this."
5. On being the boss: "All due respect, you got no f***ing idea what it's like to be Number One."
6. "You don't s*** where you eat. And you really don't s*** where I eat."
7. "If you can quote the rules, then you can obey them."
8. On the internet: "Log off. That 'cookie' s*** makes me nervous."
9. On Chicken Soup for the Soul: You should read 'Tomato Sauce for your Ass'. It's the Italian version.
10. On being in the Mafia: "What use is an unloaded gun?"

An experimental immune-based therapy more than doubled median survival of patients diagnosed with the most aggressive malignant brain tumor, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center researchers reported in Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, published online Aug. 3.
Median survival in a Phase I clinical trial at Cedars-Sinai's Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Brain Tumor Center was 38.4 months, significantly longer than the typical 14.6-month survival of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma receiving standard therapy alone, which includes radiation and chemotherapy.
Median progression-free survival -- the time from treatment to tumor recurrence -- was 16.9 months, compared to the typical 6.9 months with standard care.
The study included 16 newly diagnosed patients who could be properly evaluated between May 2007 and January 2010. At later follow-up, six patients (38 percent) -- ranging from 49 to 66 months post-treatment -- showed no evidence of tumor recurrence and were free of disease without current active treatment. Eight patients remained alive.
"Brain tumors evade the immune system to survive, and the vaccine is intended to alert the immune system to the existence of cancer cells and activate a tumor-killing response. We also are targeting cells that we believe generate and perpetuate cancers," said Keith L. Black, MD, chair and professor of Cedars-Sinai's Department of Neurosurgery, director of the Cochran Brain Tumor Center and director of the Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute, where the vaccine was researched and developed. Black is the Ruth and Lawrence Harvey Chair in Neuroscience.
The vaccine's latest version, ICT-107, targets six antigens (HER2/neu, TRP-2, gp100, MAGE-1, IL13R2 and AIM-2) involved in the development of glioblastoma cells. All patient tumors had at least three of the targeted antigens; 74 percent of tumors had all six. Patients with tumors that expressed large amounts of MAGE-1, AIM-2, gp100 and HER2 had better immune responses and longer progression-free survival rates, suggesting that these antigens may be particularly vulnerable to the vaccine.
The researchers also found evidence that the vaccine attacks some brain cancer stem cells, considered the original source of tumor cells. These self-renewing cells appear to enable tumors to resist radiation and chemotherapy and even regenerate after treatment. Cancer stem cells are especially appealing targets: killing the stem cells is believed to improve the chances of destroying a tumor and preventing its recurrence.
"The correlation of clinical responses to the level of antigen expression gives us confidence in our belief that a strong immunologic response is linked to clinical outcome. This finding supports our previous finding that immune responses are correlated to survival," commented John S. Yu, MD, vice chair of the Department of Neurosurgery, director of the Brain Tumor Center, professor of neurosurgery and senior author of the article.
Three of the tumor-associated antigens (HER2/neu, TRP-2 and AIM-2) are found not only on brain tumor cells but also on brain cancer stem cells, and the researchers reported that a protein (CD133) associated with cancer stem cells was decreased or eliminated from tumors of some vaccinated patients whose glioblastomas returned after treatment.
"Previous studies showed an increase in CD133 expression in patients who underwent treatment with radiation and chemotherapy. Our findings suggest that targeting antigens that are highly expressed by cancer stem cells may be a viable strategy for treating patients who have glioblastoma," said Surasak Phuphanich, MD, director of the Neuro-Oncology Program at the Cochran Brain Tumor Center and professor of neurology with Cedars-Sinai's Department of Neurosurgery and Department of Neurology.
Phuphanich and Christopher J. Wheeler, PhD, principal investigator in the Immunology Program at the Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute and associate professor of neurosurgery, are first authors of the article.
Cedars-Sinai's first dendritic cell vaccine began Phase I experimental treatments in May 1998. With the ability of the latest version, ICT-107, to stimulate a targeted and controlled immune response established in this Phase I study, the vaccine moved into a Phase II multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in 2011. Enrollment in the Phase II trial is expected to be completed in September 2012.
Dendritic cells are the immune system's most powerful antigen-presenting cells -- those responsible for helping the immune system recognize invaders. They are derived from white blood cells taken from the patient in a routine blood draw. In the laboratory, the cells are cultured with synthetic peptides of the six antigens -- essentially training the dendritic cells to recognize the tumor antigens as targets.
When the "new" dendritic cells in the vaccine are injected under the patient's skin in the armpit, they are intended to seek and destroy lingering tumor cells. Vaccine is administered three times at two-week intervals after standard radiation and chemotherapy.

Lilly Phase III Candidate Meets Primary Endpoint of NSCLC Overall Survival
Officials at Eli Lilly say that SQUIRE, a recently completed Phase III study, met its primary endpoint. The trial found that patients with stage IV metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experienced increased overall survival when administered necitumumab (IMC-11F8) in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin as a first-line treatment, as compared to chemotherapy alone.
The most common adverse events occurring more frequently in patients on the necitumumab arm were rash and hypomagnesemia. Serious, but less frequent, adverse events occurring more often on the necitumumab arm included thromboembolism.
"If approved, necitumumab could be the first biologic therapy indicated to treat patients with squamous lung cancer," noted Richard Gaynor, M.D., vice president, product development and medical affairs for Lilly Oncology.
This is good news for Lilly, who have encountered multiple Phase III failures over the past year including the halted Phase III PRELUDE study back in May, which assessed the drug candidate enzastaurin as a monotherapy in the prevention of relapse in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Enzastaurin reportedly failed to show a statistically significant increase compared to placebo in disease-free survival in patients at high risk of DLBCL relapse following rituximab-based chemotherapy.

You want a new variable, which could be constructed like this
gen newvar = .
replace newvar = 1 if strpos(myvar, "500")
replace newvar = 2 if strpos(myvar, "Dax")
-if strpos(,)- is equivalent to -if strpos(,) > 0-.
tab myvar if missing(newvar)
will tell you what you missed.
You will also want to define value labels and assign them.
Philip Hantschk
i have a set of data containing names of indices, like S&P 500, Dax 30 etc. I want to assign numbers to the indices, so that S&P 500=1, Dax 30=2 etc. The problem is, that the in the observations, S&P 500 has different ways of writing, e.g. Standard and Poor's 500, S&P 500, S&P 500 Index, etc.
My question is, is there a way to assign numbers automatically, like tell Stata to give every observation that contains "500" the "1".

Avoid tight-fitting clothing. Clothes that fit tightly around your waist put pressure on your abdomen and the lower esophageal sphincter. Avoid foods and drinks that trigger heartburn. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your heartburn. Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals. Don't lie down after a meal. Wait at least three hours after eating before lying down or going to bed. Don't smoke. Smoking decreases the lower esophageal sphincter's ability to function properly.

North-west firm Weightmans' turnover figure for the first six months of 2011-12 was up nearly 9 per cent on the same time last year at £38.3m.
Weightmans exceeded its half-year target of £38m, billing £38.3m. That figure was up 8.9 per cent on the previous year's £35.2m half-year figure, which was some way short of the firm's £37.1m target.
Weightmans' turnover in 2011-12 was £77.1m, up 32.5 per cent on the previous year when it was £58.2m (9 May 2012). During the 2011-12 financial year, Weightmans bedded in its merger with Mace & Jones (22 March 2011) and its acquisition of Vizards Wyeth's insurance practice (8 March 2011).
According to managing partner Patrick Gaul said that the expansion had given the firm more capability and credibility in corporate transactions, real estate and employment work. Gaul also singled out his firm's employment department as one of the star performers in the first half of the 2012-13 financial year.
"The employment team has really turned things around," said Gaul, who was predicting a steady second half of the year. "The construction and real estate teams also had a really good first six months while insurance, which is our firm's heritage, remains busy."

Chasing the Light Magazine, Issue 46
Photography spanning the globe to inspire and inform
Welcome to November 2015's edition of Chasing the Light Online Magazine for our f11 Members.
In this month's Behind the Lens, David Noton takes a punt by visiting for the first time the Alto Adige region of the Dolomites, where he quickly discovers the region's photographic, and culinary, delights; there is an accompanying Video Blog. In How It's Done, David sheds further light on the important subject of location searching as he bags a shot of the Lago Bain de Dones on the same trip. Meanwhile, in the final instalment of his Bizz mini series, David sounds out the opinion of colleagues within the photo industry for their take on the state of stock photography. He also presents two of his popular Fundamentals of Post-Production Videos.
In Bas Meelker's third piece for his Art of Landscapes column, he moves on to look at photographing waterscapes with particular reference to working on his home turf of the Netherlands – this throws up some key considerations, as well as the intriguing term 'Dutch light'. In Hoddinott's Hangout, Ross Hoddinott takes a practical look at achieving impactful shots through a simple composition, primarily by manipulating backgrounds. Then in Sense of Space, Jeremy Horner goes island hopping around the Mediterranean on a short timescale and low budget, reminding us of the value of these now sometimes overlooked photographic treasures of southern Europe.
And for this edition's Guest Feature, we're delighted to welcome on board professional travel photographer Sean Caffrey, as he presents a completely mesmerizing travelogue around the religious centres of Ethiopia – its impact is truly thought provoking.
To all our f11 Members, we hope you're continuing to enjoy our magazine. If you'd like any of your images to be featured in our Member's Gallery column please send an email to [email protected] with your low-res jpegs and the story from behind the lens for each.
Chasing the Light Magazine Editor
Behind the Lens - The Dolomites: Part One by David Noton
It has happened so many times before; Mother Nature is taunting us yet again with the folly of our leaving. The dawn departure takes us through a landscape draped in wreaths of evocative mist pierced by hills, church towers and trees that stand out against the mauve sunrise sky.
How It's Done - Lago Bain de Dones: Right Place, Right Time by David Noton
This month's How It's Done has been prompted by an f11 Member who asked how much I use apps and technology like Google Earth in my location searching. The simple answer is not much. However, the challenge of deciding where to head and when is so fundamentally important to the whole process of landscape photography.
The Bizz - Rise and Fall of Stock Photography, Part Three by David Noton
The first picture I ever sold for stock was a shot of a truck silhouetted by the rising sun crossing the M5 bridge over the Avon. It sold for £200 - I can't remember for what usage - but the £100 I received from the sale seemed, to an impoverished unemployed graduate deep in debt back in 1985, like a fortune.
Fundamentals of Post-Production - Part One by David Noton
This month I take 5 exposures of a high contrast scene shot recently in the Dolomites and use Lightroom's Photo Merge to blend them into a DNG. I then process that image to make two images, one optimised for the shadows, one for the highlights.
Fundamentals of Post-Production - Part Two by David Noton
I then combine the two images in Photoshop using layer masking and the paint brush tool to refine the merge and achieve a natural look.
Hoddinott's Hangout - The Importance of Simpliciity by Ross Hoddinott
As photographers, we can often be a little greedy, wanting to capture or include too many things within the camera's viewfinder. It is easy to create overly complex compositions by trying to cram too much into the frame. However, doing so will often create busy or fussy looking results - weakening the impact of the final image, rather then strengthening it.
Art of Landscapes - Dutch Waterscapes by Bas Meelker
In my opinion, there is no better place than the Netherlands for shooting waterscapes and the sea. This is because it's a land of water - it always has been, and it always will be.
Sense of Place - Mediterranean Islands: A Race Against Time by Jeremy Horner
In 2003 - back in the days of film and Velvia - I was commissioned to begin a new series of books for Thames and Hudson that would be entitled Island Dreams. The opening book was to cover the Mediterranean: 24 carefully selected islands shot on a budget, which really only permitted two months of shooting. This was going to take some meticulous planning.
Guest Feature - A Travelogue Among the People of Ethiopia by Sean Caffrey
Considering that the media portrayal of Ethiopia primarily consists of images of famine, drought and starvation, it is not surprising that most of my friends had a hard time understanding why I would want to travel halfway around to world to visit this country. But as you will discover, if you are interested in photographing unique traditional cultures and peoples, Ethiopia is well worth the trip.

Eskimo Bob, he eats lots of fish!
Very impressive
This is one of your better submissions and I am not even sure why. It guess it is just great to see that black guy again, even I still do not know what he has to do with the Clock Crew. You also had a great choice of audio (which was made by...Tricky?). The animation was some of your best especially with how the clocks went around. I am glad this threat turned out to be empty and we still have clocks going with us to this very day! I think the cartoon was really subtle but delivered a strong message.
Oh wow
I saw this flash from way before I've joined, and haven't been able to find it since. I was shocked when I found out you made it haha.
What was the song 's name? I <3 thsi flash
MY BIRTHDAY IS ALSO 11 JUNE, so can this be a present to me too?
By the way, nice choice in music there, love the chili peppers!

Rocky Balboa
(Twentieth Century Fox, on release 19 January.)
It's a freak show waiting to happen. Fiftysomething people's champ Rocky Balboa, already 20 years retired, taking on Mason 'The Line' Dixon, a misunderstood boxing machine in his prime who simply can't find anyone worthwhile to beat up. Implausible, of course, but this is Rocky and, as the strap line reminds us: 'It ain't over till it's over.'
Except that, in this case, we're promised it will be. Stallone was reportedly unhappy with Rocky V. It has been eating away at him for 15 years and, like a real boxer who refuses to retire on a bad defeat, he's got something 'lurking in the basement'. Rocky Balboa is Stallone's big final finale. Honest.
The premise is predictable enough. Rocky is lonely and directionless. He may have a nice little restaurant and the respect of everyone he meets, but it's just not the same since his wife, Adrian, died. When he's not waving at passers-by or helping old ladies across the street, he's wandering aimlessly round his old haunts, lamenting how all this used to be buildings and, worst of all, retracing every step he ever took with Adrian. Woe betide anyone who gets into a conversation with Rocky, in case they find themselves holed up in a week-long vigil at Adrian's graveside, listening to endless anecdotes about how he used to put her coat on for her when she was cold. Night after night, wearing his mauve conversation jacket, he regales the diners in his restaurant (called Adrian's) with dramatic tales about how Apollo Creed reintroduced him to his breakfast in the fifth and what it was like being battered back to childhood by Ivan Drago in the third.
Rocky may be fiftysomething, but he's still the affable ex-champ with a heart of gold and chin made of granite. Trouble is, all this living in the past is eating away at him. And that thing lurking in the basement, is getting the upper hand. No one can be quite certain, but there's a vague chance here that Rocky might be thinking about a comeback.
The first half of this film is a juxtaposition of melancholy flashbacks and funny one-liners. Stallone's script is worth the entrance fee alone and we still haven't seen a fist raised in anger. Stallone is having an absolute ball proving he can be every bit the self-effacing jester as he can the hard-hitting sentimentalist.
'Stop living in the past,' implores brother-in-law Paulie. 'It's depressing. Look around you, the whole world's falling apart.'
'Don't talk crazy,' replies Rocky.
Then, just when you think the whole Rocky genre is going to end in tears, it happens. ESPN screens a fictional fight between Rocky (in his prime) and new champ Mason 'The Line' Dixon. The result is a resounding knockout in Rocky's favour. Dixon is furious and demands a rematch for real and Rocky suddenly realises that the thing lurking in his basement can't be cured by Rentokil. Game on.
And this is where Stallone comes into his own: conscious of the absurdity of it all, his film is amusingly self-deprecating. There is no better moment than when he begins training in earnest. The camera pans to a lone figure in the distance, pounding his way across an industrial landscape. As he gets closer, it's clear that he means business. The Rocky theme dutifully bursts forth with a thundering menace and the audience punch the air and cheer as one. It's show time. And then, lumbering alongside our hero, we see Rocky's mangy, mongrel dog. They are both wearing Rocky's trademark grey T-shirt. Rocky's back. And this time he's got a dog in a T-shirt.
This is an extremely entertaining screen road-test of the adage that 'it's never too late to do something with your life'. The big question is: does Rocky die in this, the last episode? Word on the streets is that Stallone shot four different endings. All I can say is: Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago, Tommy Gunn, Union Cane, you boys took a hell of a beating. As for Mason 'The Line' Dixon, I'm saying nothing.
The story so far
Rocky (1976) Backstreet fighter gets shot at the title. Loses, but heroically
Rocky II (1979) After 15 brutal rounds, he defeats Apollo Creed to claim the world belt
Rocky III (1982) Loses to Mr T, but Apollo helps him bounce back to win
Rocky IV (1985) Ends the Cold War by defeating Russian Ivan Drago
Rocky V (1990) Adopts a young fighter who then turns on him. Rocky wins the ensuing street fight

The Orioles bullpen has been a strength throughout 2012.
Chris Davis wasn't supposed to be a factor.
The Orioles first baseman picked up the win Sunday, striking out two on 23 pitches in
two innings of relief in the 9-6, 17-inning win.
Davis featured a split-finger fastball, which he used to strike out both Adrian
Gonzalez and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Davis, who said he was a pitcher in college and was
looking forward to icing down his arm after the win, also touched 90 mph on the radar gun.
He escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the 17th by striking out Gonzalez and getting
Darnell McDonald -- who was pitching for Boston at the time -- to ground into a
game-ending double play.
Davis was the Orioles eighth reliever of the game, with the series of hurlers following
4.1 innings from starter Tommy Hunter. He followed the entire Orioles relief corps, which
leaned on three innings of work from closer Jim Johnson after two-inning stints from Pedro
Strop, Kevin Gregg and Matt Lindstrom.
Davis had to find some way to contribute Sunday -- he went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts
as the designated hitter.

Choosing a Multi-Vitamin
Consumer Conscious
Scientific research suggests that all adults can benefit from taking a multiple vitamin daily. It is best to take multiformula vitamins (multi-minerals and multivitamins) as a foundation if you are self-prescribing: there is the risk that taking high levels of single supplements can disturb your metabolism or increase the chances of toxicity. This is especially the case with vitamins A and D.
Men have unique health needs. Prostate issues will affect more than 50 percent of men during their lifetime. Lycopene has been associated with a reduced risk of certain prostate issues and cardiovascular disease.
Recommended For Men
Rainbow Light Men's One Multivitamin contains herbs to support prostate health including Saw Palmetto for Prostate Protection. This multi-for-men is a top-selling natural men's multivitamin.
A 100 percent natural, food-based supplement, Men's One delivers essential nutrients to support cardiovascular, reproductive, and prostate health, and boost energy levels in just one tablet per day. It contains vitamins, minerals, superfoods, and herbs, plus probiotics and plant-based enzymes for easy digestion. Men's One is entirely free of sugar, lactose and dairy, wheat, gluten, and yeast, and contains no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives or additives.
Recommended For Women
Gnc Womens Ultra Mega Multi Vitamin Gnc Womens Ultra Mega Multi Vitamin strengthens bones with 500 mg of calcium and fights cell aging with an advanced antioxidant blend. Strengthens and protects hair, skin and nails with its blend of collagen and biotin.
Contains 1600 IU of vitamin D3 for breast and bone health. (Emerging research suggests that adequate daily vitamin D intake may play a role in supporting breast and colon health.) Women's Ultra Mega is a premium multivitamin to supplement key nutrients missing in your daily diet.
What to Look For
Whichever you choose, do opt for the multiformulas that provide a broad range of nutrients per tablet/capsule. Always check the labels on multiformula products and aim for the following safe levels of vitamins and minerals:
- Vitamin A 7,500 iu
- Vitamin B1, B2, B6 25-50 mg
- Vitamin B12: 50 mcg
- Vitamin B3 (Niacin): 50 mg
- Folic Acid: 400 mcg
- Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid): 50 mg
- Vitamin C: 100 mg
- Vitamin D: 200 iu
- Vitamin E: 50 iu
- Boron: 2mg
- Chromium: 50 mg
- Copper: 0.5 mg
- Iron: 0.5 mg
- Manganese: 0.5 mg
- Selenium: 50 mcg
- Zinc: 10 mg
Do not be swayed by price, and opt only for the cheapest. In the case of supplements the old adage "you get what you pay for" can apply. Prices generally reflect level of research, preparation and ultimately quality control invested in the product - when we research, we look for quality at a reasonable price. Rainbow Light fulfills both.

Senate Approves Education Cuts Plan Required After Governor Imposes 2% Across-The-Board Reductions
Tue., Feb. 6, 1996, midnight
A $4.1 million cut in general tax support for public schools won final approval on Monday from a state Senate apparently seriously concerned about the impact of Idaho's slowing economy on tax receipts.
The unanimous vote by the Senate, matching the unanimity of the House a week earlier, sent the bill to Gov. Phil Batt.
The governor recommended the approach to maintain classroom support at levels promised a year ago so that an automatic statewide property tax increase was not triggered.
The emergency appropriation simply eliminates $1 million earmarked for Education Department school reform efforts.
It also replaces $12.3 million in general tax revenue with $9.2 million from the budget reserve account and $3.1 from the education endowment - money the schools were constitutionally entitled to anyway.
The action was required after Batt imposed a 2 percent across-the-board budget cut last summer to bring planned state spending into line with tax collections that have been increasing at a slower rate than expected.
The financial manipulation will have no effect on the actual amount of state aid that goes into Idaho's classrooms.
But it reduces by $3.1 million the amount of endowment money the schools could receive next year to help offset the impact of Batt's austere budget plan.
Conservative State Schools Superintendent Anne Fox has said that Batt's plan is at least $10 million short of what is needed.
It is also the first time the Legislature has opted to actually cut back the general tax commitment to public education.
In other budget crunches, taxes were raised or deeper cuts were made in other parts of the state budget to preserve the school aid package.
But Batt, and GOP lawmakers even before his inauguration 13 months ago, have been arguing that the state should be shifting its emphasis from increasing the amount of state aid to changing the way education is delivered in Idaho.
Still, the state remains one of the lowest in the country in money spent per public school student.
And Republican Sen. Stan Hawkins of Ucon went so far as to tell his colleagues that restoration of much of the held-back cash was probably unnecessary.
That's because Fox announced two weeks ago that slower enrollment growth and a large number of retirements by top-scale teachers have created a $7 million surplus in the part of the state aid package earmarked for teacher salaries.
"So we're going to throw the same amount of money at less kids," Hawkins said, and that should be kept in mind when the state aid package is set for the 1996-1997 school year, probably next week.
Some lawmakers have talked about removing the windfall $7 million from basic classroom support - where it is headed now - and designating it for building maintenance or even saving it to augment next year's aid total, which is now proposed at $689.5 million.
That is up from the revised total of $659.9 for this year.
But most lawmakers expect the money will be left for use by schools this year and as a cushion for the potentially even more austere financial picture next year.

I recently came across a healthcare print ad published by Hartford Healthcare in the Hartford Business Journal (December 3, 2012), titled "Healthcare Matters: Communications in Health Care". For some reason that ad caught my eye and as I read it through, I was captivated by a brilliant marketing piece.
What I took away from that ad is that there are specific qualities that make a print ad interesting to a reader. I believe these are the four essential elements for a powerful healthcare print advertisement:
#1. Use Standout Imagery
We eat with our eyes first!
The first thing I noticed in the ad was a great image of the President and CEO of Hartford Healthcare in the lower right corner. I immediately thought "Oh, that's the guy who runs the show." Immediately the article felt personal and relevant, as if I knew him. The image conveyed that he is a real person with whom I was about to have a personal conversation.
The primary goal of imagery in advertising is to quickly capture the attention of your audience and to engage or motivate them to read the remaining content.
#2. Reflect Your Brand Identity
In the upper left and right corners I noticed Hartford Healthcare's simple and elegant brand logo, with its ideal size and subtle, inviting colors. It is important for healthcare marketing strategies to establish brand identity. A healthcare company's brand is easily recognized by its logo, which helps people to understand what your brand stands for.
However there's more to brand identity than a mere logo. In a 2009 article titled "The Significance Of Establishing A Prominent Brand Identity" the author put it this way:
"Trust and credibility are essential to establishing a relationship with customers.
Without them, people have no reason to believe anything about your business.The identity created on a website, through advertising and in interactions with people at a company, persists even after customers leave their computers, close their magazines, or hang up their phones.
Some may suggest that brand is the image, the graphic look, or the logo of a company. But, it is more than that. It's what people remember."
#3. Intrigue and Educate with Content
Here's the first line of another interesting ad I came across, "The Big Apple is not as sweet as it used to be." This is what is commonly known as an impact statement or a lead-in statement. It is a compelling statement designed to hook the reader, draw him in, and persuade him to read further. The article was successful in achieving that goal.
The focus of this piece was to draw attention to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed ban on specific sugary beverages at entertainment venues. I was intrigued by the author's ability to balance just the right amount of opinion with facts, interesting statistics, and enlightening information including the financial impact of this issue. The effect it had on me was:
1. I felt educated and walked away with a greater knowledge about the issue
2. I understood better the proposed government changes
3. I felt my opinion and input were valuable as reflected in the call-to-action
#4. Engage with a Call-To-Action
A call-to-action (CTA) charts a path toward a company's vision or product by asking readers to commit to concrete actions that advance the goals of the company. Your CTA should also include as many contact options as needed to encourage consumers to reach you and find out more about your service.
Hartford Healthcare's CTA was prominently located at the bottom of the article, in a highlighted area that made it easy for me to contact the company with my comments and obtain further information about this issue. For more inspiration on CTA's, check out this article, which highlights some effective call-to-action strategies specifically for healthcare markets and healthcare marketing strategies.
Quick Wrap-up
Including these four elements in your marketing strategy will help you establish the desired results, which are to quickly capture the reader's attention with a strong title and appealing imagery, to generate interest and loyalty to your company through branding, to inform and educate through compelling content and to drive consumer behavior through your CTA. Great job Hartford Healthcare in employing these elements and succeeding.

Item description for Actual Proof of My Existence signed: God of the Bible by Don Christie...Overview
The Actual Proof of My Existence Signed: God of the Bible is a book showing the proof of God's existence through undeniable but simple number patterns in the Bible. Reading the historical and scientifically correct Psalms will be enough to convince anyone that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. More than eighteen Psalms contain information about specific past events from history (1900 to 2003). In each case, the Psalm number is the year of the event; even the years of future events (2003 to 2050) are explored. More than twenty-three Psalms contain scientific "key words" with power numbers matching the numbers of the Psalms. One example is Psalm 27:1: "The Lord is my light"; 1027 power is a photon of light in science. The mathematical odds of these matching Psalms are greater than 1038 power (38 zeroes) to 1 that this would happen by random accident or chance. The Ark of the Covenant is explored and found to have numbers matching anti-gravity from the chemical element table. The Tabernacle of Moses can be proven to be a model of the universe and space-time dimensions, equaling science numbers just recently discovered. The book examines about six hundred key Scriptures showing that the verse numbers equal either the scientific or biblical content of the verses. Many more subjects are numerically explored in the Bible. The book guarantees to show in a simple way using "pattern and number matching" that the Bible is the inspired Word of God beyond any shadow of a doubt!
Promise Angels is dedicated to bringing you great books at great prices. Whether you read for entertainment, to learn, or for literacy - you will find what you want at promiseangels.com!

GBP/USD: Trade ideas for July 30
The GBPUSD is trying to form a bearish pattern below the ressitance level of 1.6965 as the next target for the pair in the bearish road is the support level of 1.6903. We must remember that the GBPUSD made a bullish retracement to the 1.6996 level, so the pair started falling and hitting new low-levels in recent weeks.
If the pair manages to make a breakout in the support level of 1.6903, next target would be the level of 1.6824. Furthermore, we recommend caution when placing buy orders currently on the GBPUSD, as this pair has shown no signs of a trend-change. The CCI indicator is pointing upward and remains above the -100 level.
Trading recommendations: Hold your short positions in the GBPUSD to the support level of 1.6824, but it's recommended to close some positions at the 1.6903 level.

Inside the air was heavy with a thick foreign musk; smoke crawled along walls and the ceiling, it gave the appearance that everything was moving. At times the smoke was so thick it became hard to see as Cliff led his guests through the dark, eerily lit passageways of his abode. The walls were decorated with a variety of strange objects, souvenirs that Cliff had collected in his previous journeys abroad.
Cliff was a handsome young man and appeared to be significantly younger than his old university friend - Iknonov - the years had been kind to him. He had thick dark hair and astonishingly blue eyes. His bone structure was sharp and keen yet there was something just a little soft about his features that made him appear more mischievous, a cheeky character trait.
Smoke rushed through the door into a bright airy space as Cliff held open the door for his guests. "After you..." Cliff gestured to Cornelia with a coy smile.
"Thank you." Cornelia narrowed her eyes at him and passed by. Ikonov followed shortly behind her.
The room was a small glass half-dome, pressed neatly at the back of the large white house. The windows overlooked Cliff's exotic looking garden - plants, flowers and trees blossomed in a shrewd attempt to block out the ever expanding Parisian skyline, which was something of an eyesore as it grew to become more industrial.
"You're earlier than I had expected Harold, my butler won't be here for another hour or so, perhaps I can interest you in a drink? Will Tea do? I don't think it's quite late enough for any other kind of poison yet, eh?" Cliff nudged Ikonov gently with a friendly fist. Ikonov looked far from impressed, and Cornelia looked less so.
"Tea will do fine, thank you." Cornelia smiled falsely.
Cliff left the room for a few minutes whilst Cornelia and Ikonov exchanged awkward glances. On his return Cliff carried a fancy looking tray that held a collection of posh looking blue and white china. "Only the best for my guests." He smiled "Straight from Cathay." he gestured to the tea.
"Let us get down to business." Ikonov begun "Our destination is Crete, a fairly relaxed island in the Mediterranean, yet, there is more in store than just beaches. Cornelia, we are here to collect Mr. Cornwall, he is to come with us on our journey, I do hope that this won't be an issue." He spoke firmly to the both of them. Cliff looked sheepish. Cornelia pursed her lips. "Now Cliff, I believe you have some information on how to get into this Labyrinth at Knossos?"
"Ah yes, I've done some research, spoken to a great deal of historians and theologists from the area and they are all set on the idea that Theseus left the Labyrinth locked. He took the key from the Labyrinth and kept it so no one else could be lost in it."
"Do you know where he took it?"
"Theologists will tell you he traded it with Hades for his life, but historians will tell you that it lays at the bottom of the Aegean, wherever his body lay." Cliff shrugged.
"So you're not entirely sure?"
"Can't be certain really. Though the first story seems a little far fetched to me, as interesting as theology is, I find it hard to believe in such mythical folklore."
"So we must go to the bottom of the sea?"
"From what I hear, that might be the best place for us. I've heard you have upset some very dangerous pirates. I suggest we head south to the coast, there I have an invention you won't believe." He smiled, leaning back in his chair and lighting an impressive looking pipe.
"What might that be?" Ikonov's interest was piqued, he leaned in closer to Cliff.
"It's called a Nautilus..."

Featuring Brett A. Shumate, Adam J. White
June 20, 2016
June 20, 2016
On Wednesday, June 14, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Federal Communications Commission's controversial reclassification of broadband internet service as a telecommunications service subject to common carrier regulation under Title II of the Communications Act. The case, which many observers believe may ultimately end up before the United States Supreme Court, touches on major questions about the Communications Act, as well as First Amendment issues and larger administrative law controversies, including Chevron deference. Our experts discussed all of these angles and the outlook for the case going forward.

Ripoff Report
Greentree dataPO Box 50480 Internet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was reviewing my charges on a recent bill from AT&T and found a charge of $8.43 from Greentree Data Inc. I had never heard of them. I called their 1-800# and talked to a person who was quick to say that they would cancel my services and the charges would be credited within 1 or 2 billing cycles. I said that I should not have to the charge for the next billing cycle because it is cancelled.
She replied that it was too far into the current cycle to stop the charge. I went back and forth stating that I never even ordered the service nor used it. I got no where. I then called AT&T and reported the incident asking for their help to stop any further charges and credit my account for the bill I have being the first charge I recieved. They were very good about addressing it right away and are sending me a new billing and blocking any further charge.
I could not believe that a compny could bill you on an established account (AT&T) without legitimate consent. It is a scam and I suspect that they are expecting to get free money from those who do not notice it. I would not rely on Greentree to credit you for anything. I am betting they go down soon. If you have an issue like this, keep filing complaints here. It helped me realize it was a scam.

Funny doesn't go out of style
Who doesn't like a good laugh? Whether it's slapstick, puns or a good story, we can't get enough of them. While most of today's humor are situational or societal, there are somethings that were always funny. Like farts and poo (though it isn't funny to some people, but don't hang out with those people). These Redditors made educational guesses of what has and will always be funny to us.

Mike Diamond PlumbingInternet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I called "mike diamond" to have a toilet repaired. The first time I called was the day I wanted service. I filled in the information on the web site and waited for a return call. None came. Two days later I called for an appointment. I knew exactly what I needed to repair the toilet. The "ball/c**k" is the insides of the toilet that holds then releases the water. Cost at a hardware store is between 30 and 70 dollars.
The first indication I had of a potential problem is when the operator told me the plumber would be out to "diagosis the problem." I told her it did not need a diagnostic evaluation. I knew what it needed. So the plumber comes out, on time and smelling good, but that's about all. He quotes me $565.00 to repair the toilet or $1,200 to replace it. Mind you this is a $200.00 toilet at home depot and does not need replacing.
In addition he now wants $76.00 for the "service call." At that point I tell him where to put his service call. I call my local plumber who charges me $165.00 and comes out on the weekend.
It appears that "mike diamond" is nothing but a referal service to plumbers willing to operate under that trade name. They dramatically overcharge and are a compete rip off. I should have known that anyone who spends as much money advertising as they do has to charge more for the service but triple the cost is rediculous.

(Rosen 1990:17) 12 My proposal • Verb sequences in question as complex predicates – two verbs act as a single predicate • Complex predicates as argument structure merger (Rosen 1990) • Argument sharing provides the basis for the merger • As head of the clause, the first verb attract the major grammatical markers such as TAM and bound pronouns. 13 Complex predicate formation in Kavalan (1) b. qatiw-an-ku m-ara ya sunis go-PF-1S.GEN AF-take NOM child 'I go and bring the child back.' go (Actori) + take (Actori, patient) argument structure merger in the syntax Complex argument structure: go-take (Actor, patient) 14 Event-sharing in Kavalan (2)a. paqanas-an-ku tata ya sulal slow-PF-1S.G see<AF> NOM book 'I read the book slowly.' slow (eventi) +read (Actor, theme, eventi)(Kratzer 1995) argument structure merger Complex AS: slow-read (Actor, theme, event) 15 CPs in Tsou (1/2): Evidence from focus harmony (09)a. mi-'o ahoi bon-U AF-1S start(AF) eat-AF ta tacUmU OBL banana 'I start eating bananas.' b. os-'o ahoz-a an-a NAF-1S start-PF eat-PF 'o tacUmU NOM banana 'I start eating the bananas.'

(Crowley 2002:81) Three-times (eventi) +do (agent, patient, eventi) argument structure merger Complex AS: do-three-times (agent, patient, event) 20 Typology of CPs 1. Resultative/biclausal (Mandarin) 2. Causative/Infinitival (French, Paiwan, M. Atayal, Amis) 3. SVC (Kavalan, Tsou, Seediq, S. Atayal, Saisiyat, Thao, Puyuma) 4. Verb-particle (English, German) 5.

It cuts across various semantic categories (including adverbials) and syntactic structures (SVCs and non-SVCs). • A possible basis for complex predicate formation is argument sharing (including event sharing). 23 Residual questions (13)a.supaR-an-ku=ti=isu tu babar-an-na know-PF-1S.G=ASP=2S.N OBL beat-PF-3S.G 'I knew that he beat you.'

Fact checks by swissinfo.ch
Ever seen a newspaper headline or a campaign poster and wondered, "Is that true?" Our goal is to verify factual statements public figures make about Switzerland or Swiss current affairs and come to a conclusion about their accuracy.
Fact checks by swissinfo.ch
In a country with a highly developed system of direct democracy, voters must be able to trust what elected officials and other prominent figures in the public eye are saying.
Our aim is to verify factual claims made about Switzerland and draw a conclusion about their accuracy. We do this by examining the facts and providing context using publicly available information.
Our fact checks are objective and our choice of claims to verify is impartial.
If you'd like to suggest a statement to fact-check, write to us (include the statement in full, when and by whom it was said, and any web links.)
