If the Government is to make maximum use of the information we hold we must be able to find it, share it responsibly, trust it, know what we publish and allow users to locate and consume that information. We require rules to make sure we describe our information in a standardised way to support sharing and re-use, and to enable us to understand the information created by others.
Citizen - finding and using government information using semantic web search will be enhanced.
Government business - managing, storing and sharing government information will be made easier and more effective with a shared standard including machinery of government changes and systems migration.
Government partners and suppliers - a clear information/data interoperability standard used by government will help systems integrators, suppliers, service providers and partners to create usable systems and reduce costs of re-engineering.
Consumers need to be clear about the ownership and licensing conditions associated with government information and data, particularly when it is published.
Secure and cost-effective management of the full range of information we create and hold (documents, datasets, images etc.)
Effective management of our information for the full life-cycle, from creation, sharing and re-use to timely disposal or archiving.
Interoperability, enabling migration between different environments. For example, sharing or publishing, movement between internal systems, transfer between departments for business use or, ultimately, for permanent preservation as the historical record of government.
Discovery of internal information through effective search and categorisation (collaborative working environments, content management, document management, intranets, etc.)
Government is publishing increasing amounts of information in different forms, from official publications, to open data. Descriptions of information is increasingly used by search engines like Google (with initiatives like schema.org) and improves discovery.
Clear indications of the licence and any third party rights associated with our information.
A single government standard for describing our information will streamline procurement activities, enabling departments to tailor or re-use a common approach to data management, data description and data sharing when defining their requirements.
We require rules to make sure metadata is created in a standardised way. Metadata is simply a structured description (of a document or collection of information). Without metadata, discovery and reuse of information is much harder. The purpose of metadata is to help users to locate data and validate information. This supports sharing and re-use, and enables us to understand the information created by others.
Any mandatory elements should be:
1) Low barrier
2) Included by default in most business systems (including cloud based, social media, Software as a Service, etc)
3) Support reuse and transparency across government, including lower costs for data migration activities at system end of life.
The standard should be open, flexible, future-proof, fit for purpose and require no or minimal maintenance by the Government's standards authority. It should be tailored to UK Government business requirements. For example, a set of minimum elements for description of digital objects such as images, datasets, geospatial data, sound files, documents. It should define a set of fields that can be used and the format of those fields so that government bodies can ensure a standard presentation that can be used across systems when moving, sharing or searching for data.
The Government's current metadata standard (e-GMS v3.1, last updated in 2006) is outdated and needs to be revised to support transparency and reuse of data across government and public sector bodies.
The e-GMS v3.1 includes guidance on encoding schemes. In 2012 the Public Sector Information Domain - Metadata Standards Working Group agreed to remove the requirement for the use of IPSV and recommended SKOS. The full announcement can be accessed on the Wikipedia e-GMS page. Other small, incremental changes to the current version of the standard would be possible; however, a more significant revision is required to deliver the benefits described below.
There are no updates for this challenge.
The Open Standards Board recommended in September 2013 that this challenge and its associated proposals and draft standards profile should be archived, and a new challenge be developed which more clearly defines the use case and user needs.

Jeff Merkley wants consistent, across the board accountability, and he was a tireless advocate for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and for getting rid of tricks and traps hidden in the fine print of mortgages, credit cards and student loans. He fought to fix our housing market and he pushed for a strong Volcker rule to protect boring commercial banking from outrageous risks.
Taking on the big banks, corporate Super PACs and right-wing interest groups has made Jeff Merkley a big target in 2014. But if we get to work now, we can make sure Jeff can stand up to Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers, and everyone else lining up to defeat him. I know we can take those guys on and win because I've seen us do it before.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:15am
One year ago today — on April 19, 2012 — Inside Lacrosse welcomed ILGear.com to its network of websites, giving the lacrosse world a new home for equipment, apparel, lifestyle, instruction, fitness — all the content the player craves.
It was the culmination of several years of careful planning to aggregate and present the mountain of lifestyle-related content that has appeared in our magazine and on InsideLacrosse.com over the years and expand it.
As far back as the late 1990s, Inside Lacrosse was featuring content in the magazine related to stick stringing and dyeing, equipment, Xs and Os, fitness and more. But with the rapidly increasing amount of hard news we're funneling through InsideLacrosse.com, the time came for this line of content to have its own venue, its own place to live.
Since getting ILGear.com off the ground, we've been pleased with the response from readers, as the traffic has quickly swelled, making it one of the fastest-growing lacrosse websites around. We're aiming to continue that growth, and we're looking to grow our network of contributors throughout the rest of the year and as we move into 2014.
We value and invite feedback on the site and encourage anyone with ideas or suggestions to send them to us at email@example.com. As we push forward and continue to create new content and strengthen some of ILGear.com's current content areas, we'll keep at the front of our minds the stories that have most strongly resonated with our viewers.
Here's a look at the most-viewed ILGear.com stories since the site was launched last April. Be sure to follow us on Twitter via @IL_Gear and "like" our Facebook page.
1. Reactions to the New NCAA Stick Stringing Rules
The biggest gear story of the year, the NCAA Rules Committee changed the way players are allowed to string their shooters, essentially outlawing the U or V shooting string. We had reactions from all across the lacrosse world, and it became our most popular story of the year.
2. Paul Rabil Will Wear His New Warrior Equipment Line Saturday
After Rabil's much-publicized move to Warrior and the TV ad campaign that ran throughout the spring college season, his product was set to hit the web in late April. On the eve of his first Boston Cannons game, ILGear debuted his new line, which he wore all summer.
3. Pocket Knockoffs: Tim Desko Edition
Pocket Knockoffs take an in-depth look at some of the best players' sticks, starting with Denver's Mark Matthews in March before the launch of ILGear. Syracuse attackman Tim Desko, king of the trickshot, diagnosed his pocket in the third-most read story of the year.
4. Johns Hopkins Blue Jays 2013 Gear & Apparel Madness
The beginning of a trend, Johns Hopkins and their gear gets eyeballs, so when ILGear did what it does best — premiers college gear — and gave the Blue Jays the premium treatment, the story went big.
5. 'Merica Shorts by Chubbies
Definitely the weirdest inclusion in ILGear's top stories, the elastic waistband short shorts for men by Chubbies has had staying power, getting a fair amount of views every month since last July's debut.
6. ILGear Awards: Best One-Off Uniforms
Last year was a banner year for custom one-off gear, so to end the season, we asked our readers which team did it best.
7. Syracuse To Wear Cascade Matte Grey CPX-R, Grey Nike Vapor Jerseys This Weekend
The most recent story on the list, Syracuse's Grey uniforms that they dropped in advance of their Princeton game earlier this month quickly made its way around the internet.
8. Stringers Spotlight: Hopkins Attack — Stanwick, Palmer, Benn
Unit side-by-sides are a 2013 addition to the ILGear arsenal, and Johns Hopkins' attack was the first to get the treatment.
9. Johns Hopkins Blue Jays Zima Gear SIlver Wings, Cascade Pro7
Rounding up the Blue Jay hysteria, Hopkins' chrome winged helmets in advance of their Syracuse game in March.
10. Lake Placid Sights: New Easton Helmet, More
Lake Placid brings enough to the table that people who can't make it want to check out coverage, but when a manufacturer drops a first-look at a prospective helmet, the story gets a ton of eyeballs.

My overarching goal as Supervisor is to identify and support policies that enhance employment opportunities for our County, particularly in the fields of "green" technology, "high tech" and related fields, and encouraging economic models that strive toward economic and environmental sustainability.
Support for local agricultureThere is a strong local and regional movement seeking regulatory relief that would enhance our "mom and pop" small businesses.
Two concepts that would aid small ag/home food producers: (a) deregulating "direct marketing" food production, meaning relaxing regulations of direct sales between producer and consumer, and (b) promoting "scalable regulations", meaning working to have regulatory burdens proportionate to potential community impacts (small impacts, fewer regulations). While I recognize and support the importance of protecting the physical health of our citizens, I have also come to realize that "community health" also includes economic and social health (the latter refers to how, by supporting and partnering with our local businesses, we strengthen our community in ways other than just monetarily).In support of these goals and concepts, I supported AB 1616, sponsored by Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles), a "cottage food industry" bill that relaxes regulations and allow certain food products to be made in home kitchens and sold directly to consumers. This bill has now become law and Nevada County is working to implement its provisions.
I will continue to work with County staff and the community to seek ways to support local agriculture, and continue to attend ag-related events to learn of new opportunities and challenges.Support for legislation to protect Domestic Workers' rights.I supported AB 899 (Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco) which would give basic labor protections such as overtime pay, meal and rest breaks to a class of workers who have been working without them and who typically work for minimum wage. Many of the people who do the most difficult jobs--caring for children, the elderly, and disabled; house cleaners and other in-home care workers --- do not enjoy such benefits. These jobs are not only hard, but crucial to society. They are also commonly held by immigrants and women. AB 889 failed in the legislature but is expected to be reintroduced, a necessary bill that would go a long way to address their abuse and exploitation by providing them the same basic rights as most Americans see as basic and necessary. Development/implementation of local and regional energy resourcesI strongly support the use of existing local and regional renewable energy resources to provide local sustainable jobs. Two current options with possibilities: biomass and biogas. More details of my work on biomass is outlined on my Projects page. With regard to biogas, the passage of energy bill AB 1900 (also sponsored by Assemblyman Gatto) last year relaxes California regulations by allowing use of biogases produced by landfills, sewer plants and large animal farms. This use of local energy sources has the potential to reduce current disposal costs, provide new revenue streams and reduce harmful climate gases. California currently allows import of these gases from other states.
I continue to explore options to better utilize energy resources in Nevada County, such as (1) the feasibility of a small cogeneration system to offset site energy needs, and (2) possibly forming a local task force to identify challenges and opportunities to expanding the use of solar energy. Repeal or reform of the SRA Fire FeeAs the SRA (State Responsibility Area) Fire Fee has now been implemented, it has become clear that the program has significant flaws. The fee is intended to offset the higher costs of fire fighting in rural areas and the funds are to be used for fire safety education. It applies to anyone with property, defined as a living structure, and assumes that the property owner owns the land under the structure, thereby creating a nexus between the fee charged and the service rendered. However there is no consideration for mobile home owners who rent land but have no control over fire safety of the land, or for the economic hardship it places on very low income residents.At my request on February 26, 2013, the Board of Supervisors agreed to support three bills authored by Senator Ted Gaines; SB 17, SB 125 and SB 147, that would repeal or reform the SRA fee program. I continue to lobby Sacramento independently to address what I consider inequitable and unfair treatment under this fee. Supporting local community groupsI have lobbied for grant funds for the Hospitality House including obtaining support from the Board of Supervisors and key County department heads.I continue to explore funding opportunities for the St. Joseph's Cultural Center and the Northstar Julia Morgan house.Member, Grass Valley Kiwanis, Center for Performing Arts, Think Localand beyond…Personal advocacy for important national and international issues related to environmental and energy security, alternative energy and related policies

That sounds good.
It's awesome that it looks like he will still be a part of the company.
Dave is DCB and DCB is Dave. I think it would be difficult for the business to go on and be sucessful without Dave still being involved in some capacity. I think every business owner out there (especially Marine Businesses) has felt the same way Dave feels here today. It's not easy! It wears you down! I know because I sure feel it sometimes more than others. I wish Dave and his family all the best.
The marine business has been difficult for all of us the past 4 years. The OEMs in particular have had it the worst. As we travel around the country,
we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope that Dave and his crew will keep things tight and continue delivering great product.

Problem with new shower/tub install
I recently remodeled my bathroom and used Pex on all of the new plumbing. We installed a Moen valve, spout and shower head. I overlooked the part on the instructions about not using Pex after the valve to the head and spout. I understand that copper should be used. I understand this was a silly mistake and I now get some water from the shower head when running water from the spout. I am also getting a whistling sound from the spout when the shower is on. I can live with the first problem, but the second is VERY annoying. I tiled on top of schluter and grouted and sealed the tile, so opening it up is out of the question. Are there any solutions to my problem without tearing into the wall? Would adding pressure reducing valves to the incoming pex lines solve my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The pex to the shower head can stay but the pex to spout needs to be copper. No way around it
Would removing the water saving washers from the shower head and spout decrease pressure? And why would a pressure reducing valve not work? Just curious.. Thanks

The inside diameter of the pex is causing a restriction to the water flow. Adding a prv will only reduce the flow more. You need to enlarge the inside pipe diameter
Sent from my DROID2 using DIY Chatroom
I removed the water restrictor from shower head and fixed the whislting from the spout! Still have a bit of water coming from head when using spout to fill tub, but I can live with that.
What's on the other side of the wall behind the shower control? Can you get to it and take a section of drywall out to change your shower head feed?

I'm curious, how did you anchor the spout to the pex?
Sent from my DROID2 using DIY Chatroom
Thanks for the replies. I used blocking behind the elbows and behind the valve and screwed it to the blocking. Going from the other side would almost be more difficult than just removing a few tile. The instructions said the pex was fine going to the shower head just not to the spout. I can live with a little water coming from the shower head as long as the high pitched noise is gone for good. I hate to leave it like that but I hate to cut out a section because I used Schluter-Kerdi on the substrate and think I would have a difficult time patching it with the 2" lap needed.
you could try one of these

How high a pitch is the whistling?
Would the addition of some harmonica music ease the tension while you are showering?

We reported on the demise of Microsoft's long serving Messenger instant chat and video calling service some time back. If you are already an existing user then you'll have been greeted with pop up notices urging you to update to Skype over the last month or so.
Seems like Microsoft is now putting the word out in full, an official email was sent to users today explaining what you'll need to do and how long the service will continue to work for.

Jordan Reed returned to the practice field for warm ups on Tuesday, according to Mike Jones on Twitter. Reed had missed practice the past three days due to a stomach virus. The sophomore tight end has been impressing teammates in camp, and they are hoping to see him pick up where he left off. In 2013, Reed emerged as a fantasy viable tight end with 45 receptions, 499 yards and three touchdowns in nine games. With a year under his belt, things are only looking up for him.
Fantasy Analysis:
Reed produced extremely well last year sans the fact he was a rookie. He is still learning a new offense and needs more time to fully develop. Aside from the development, Reed also needs to pace himself. After suffering a concussion last year and being placed on injured reserve, some are worried he's injury prone. Reed gets constant praise from his coaches and teammates, proving there is some major talent there. Reed is a young, developing tight end in a fast-paced offense. He is easily a TE1, and if you're worried about the concussion history, you may want to snatch a backup.

Instant Classic: The Florence
We know. We give Billy Reid a lot of love around here. But when our most well-heeled editors caught wind of the Alabama designer's new collaboration with Coach, there was clearly more fawning to do. True to Billy Reid's nostalgic Southern aesthetic, this ladylike handbag, named after the town he calls home, comes in a textured blue nubuck leather that's far more versatile than you'd think. We're declaring it the new Southern "It" bag, and considering you'll wear it, oh, every day for the rest of your life, the price is justifiable when you do the cost-per-wear math. Yep, we're smitten.

Services (DHHS) and hospital management to collectively improve the
way hospitals operate.
Using a relative Stay Index (RSI) model, it has identified
widespread variation in acute patient length of stay (LOS) between
many of Victoria's largest public hospitals. This indicates
inefficiencies—lost opportunities to free up hospital beds, to
treat more patients and to reduce significant unnecessary costs.
Even after adjusting for patient characteristics and peer-grouping
hospitals, potentially almost 145 000 extra bed days could be made
available and $125 million per year could be directed to other
The reasons for differences in LOS performance, even among
similar hospitals, vary and are not always captured by performance
data. However, public hospitals can improve LOS performance by
implementing better practice around patient management, from
admission through to discharge.
The data used in this audit comes from DHHS and yet it is not
using it to identify what is significant variation in hospital
efficiency. As the health system manager, DHHS should use its data
and—in collaboration with hospital management—actively seek to
understand, explain and reduce LOS variances.

Everyone is familiar with Facebook and Twitter, but here are five social networks you might not know about that offer a twist on the usual social networking options.
Classmates.com has been established for well over a decade, having been set up in 1995 by Randy Conrads, but has recently escaped the attention of mainstream social network users. The site is intended to provide nostalgic content, as users are given the opportunity to seek out people that they attended school, college or university with. This site provides a great way to look up that classmate whose name you can't quite remember, as the software allows you to search by educational institution and the year you attended. Figures indicate that Classmates had 50 million subscribers in 2008, and 3.8 million premium subscribers.
Flixster is a social networking site that is aimed at movie buffs and fanatics. The site enables people who are passionate about motion pictures to befriend, contact and chat with other movie fans, as well as providing a wealth of information about the huge database of films that has been uploaded to the site. Flixster and its sister site Rotten Tomatoes were acquired by Warner Brothers in May, 2011, giving the site a huge boost. The site proved very popular when it first came online, reaching a peak of over 8 million daily page views during January, 2008. Recent figures indicate the site has 3 million active users.
My Heritage is a site aimed at anyone interested in genealogy and family trees, and will appeal to anyone who's ever wanted to delve into their familial history. My Heritage allows users to create their own family websites; a typical feature of which are customisable family trees. The site also has resources available to enable users to search for their ancestors, in order to help build their family tree. The site has proven very popular, and the owners have continually improved the site's resources by the acquisition of various genealogy companies around the world. The site has over 64 million users, and over 1 billion online profiles.
Gaia Online is very much a cult social networking site, aimed squarely as it is at fans of Japanese anime. The whole theme of the site is anime-based, but Gaia Online is an English language site that is aimed at English fans of the Japanese cartoon genre. The site is a very fun one for fans of anime to participate in, with opportunity for users to create their own customisable anime avatar to represent them in cyberspace. Gaia Online has proved very popular with anime fans, garnering over 26 million registered users and 7 million website visits per month, and the site won the Mashable Best User experience Award for 2010.
Meetup is a social networking site that addresses one of the biggest criticisms of social networking in general - how does using such sites help the real world? Meetup was set up in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks as its founder Scott Heiferman was inspired by the way that people in New York co-operated in the aftermath of the tragic events. Meetup aims to facilitate offline meetings, by enabling users to join up with groups, which then get together in the real world and attempt to positively influence their local community and area. Meetup has 2,000 such groups, and 8 million members in over 100 countries.

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Klamath County Records Inventory
Circuit Court Case Files
Series documents cases heard before the circuit courts and the U.S. district courts. U.S. district courts were administered by the federal government during the territorial period and subsequently replaced by the circuit courts upon statehood in 1859. Case files include exhibits, transcripts, indexes, and legal documents such as indictments, subpoenas, fee bills, articles of agreement, bonds, summons, executions, petitions, and injunctions. The case files document civil and criminal actions such as debt, theft, divorce, land claims, arson, murder, rape, assault and battery, and boundary conflicts. Circuit court records continue after 1983 under authority of the state and are maintained by the trial court administrator. Circuit court records have been inventoried through 1983. For information on more recent court records, contact the trial court administrator. Portions of these records may be restricted.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes recurring seizures. An abnormal area in your brain sometimes sends bursts of electrical activity that cause your seizures. A birth defect, tumor, stroke, dementia, injury, or infection may cause epilepsy. The cause of your epilepsy may not be known. If your seizures are not controlled, epilepsy may become life-threatening.
Informed consent
is a legal document that explains the tests, treatments, or procedures that you may need. Informed consent means you understand what will be done and can make decisions about what you want. You give your permission when you sign the consent form. You can have someone sign this form for you if you are not able to sign it. You have the right to understand your medical care in words you know. Before you sign the consent form, understand the risks and benefits of what will be done. Make sure all your questions are answered.
- Antiseizure medicine will help control your seizures.
- Antianxiety medicines may been given for immediate control of a seizure. These may be given orally, rectally, or through an IV.
- Pulse oximetry measures how much oxygen is in your blood.
- Telemetry is continuous monitoring of your heart rhythm. Sticky pads placed on your skin connect to an EKG machine that records your heart rate and rhythm.
- Arterial blood gas (ABG) measures how much oxygen and carbon dioxide are in your blood.
- Blood and urine tests will show if you have an infection. These tests can also give information about your overall health, such as kidney function.
- An EEG records the electrical activity of your brain. It is used to find changes in the normal patterns of your brain activity.
- A CT scan or an MRI takes pictures of your brain to check for abnormal areas. You may be given contrast liquid to help the pictures show up better. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast liquid. Do not enter the MRI room with anything metal. Metal can cause serious injury. Tell the healthcare provider if you have anything metal in or on your body.
- Oxygen may be given if your blood oxygen level is lower than it should be.
- Surgery may help reduce how often you have seizures if medicine does not help. Ask your healthcare provider for more information about surgery for epilepsy.
After a seizure you may feel confused or have a headache. The recovery phase can last minutes or up to 2 weeks. Epilepsy may increase your risk for depression and anxiety. Fear of seizures may affect your independence, such as driving, employment, and social relationships. Seizures can cause serious injury or sudden death.

My Mx-3 Recaro front seats need to find a new home. They are in pretty good shape and have little to no stains/burns. They are tan with a maroon middle. Rails will be included. I am looking to get $90 for the set of front seats. I am located an hour north of Philly. I do have pictures if anybody is interested.
I will be at the sloppy beef meet later today in PA if anybody would like to look at the seats. Look for a green lowered Escort..

One of many attractions of minor league baseball is that fans get a chance to see the major leaguers of tomorrow.
That's been particularly true of the Bowie Baysox this year.
Through the first half of the 2015 Eastern League season, eight Orioles have made appearances for the Class AA Baysox while working their way back to the majors from injuries.
The Baysox have never had more than eight Orioles appear in a single season — and there are still two months left on the schedule.
"It seems like it's been a lot of them ... in a short amount of time," said Baysox manager Gary Kendall, a Baltimore native who grew up rooting for the Orioles.

In Reply to: RE: Are both these stations in the same direction? posted by Timbo in Oz on November 22, 2011 at 17:01:32
WRR FM 101.1 is a 98kW station located in Dallas, TX at 184 degrees from true North at a distance of 61.7 miles with a signal level of -50.3dBm.
The offending station is KWRD 100.7 also a 98kW station at 42 degrees from true North at a distance of 4.7 miles with a signal level of -10.6dBm.
I use an outside Winegard FM only antenna with 13 elements oriented to the WRR location in Dallas. This data was obtained from FM Fool's website based on physical address. You can see that the offending station is quite stout. Without an outside directional antenna picking up WRR is a really difficult task for any tuner. About the only other thing I could do on the RF levels would be to put a balun transformer right behind the tuner, convert to 300 ohm twin lead and put a tunable trap there to try to create a suck-out at 100.7 mHz. I don't currently have the needed 9-180pFd variable capacitor to make the trap. If the trap creates too broad a suck-out it could reduce the signal level of WRR making acceptable noise free reception of the desired station worse than it is currently. It might be worth a try though.
I still think that I need a slight boost in the IF gain and selectivity of my TU-915 by changing at least one of the current IF filters using one of Bill Ammons boards that provides moderate gain plus selectivity, or maybe even an extra stage of filter & gain compared to the existing 3-filter arrangement.
Follow Ups:
A great FM tuner is expensive- just look at high-end Kenwood, McIntosh, Sansui, Accuphase tuners. Being an inexpensive mod, I would simply install the IF filter kit.
and connected out-of-phase with the main antenna, you'd need a combiner on the mast as well. If you are not using a rotator, there's just the issue of vertical spacing on your existing mast, 6ft being the minimum.
Of course the offender would have to be a station you'll never bother listening to! ;-)
Better IF filters -might- do the job on their own, and the tuner has a wide/narrow switch?
Option 2: ONLY IF you have a truly large loft space with a truly long diagonal in the direction of your WRR!? Getting an even bigger signal from it than any retail Yagi or LPD could manage - even stacked. A rhombic wire made from twin lead, with sides well above (double?) the wavelength at 100Mhz of about 10 feet. The existing Wineguard could then be used for an even deeper notch, or for any other station you've wondered about. When the 3 element would be needed for the notch.
If it were me I'd get the filters, then consider how much quieter and clearer I'd like WRR to be, as well. You'd also know how problematic the offender is after the filters.
I've posted the URL for the rhombic article below.
Good luck.
If you've read this, a response is preferred.

'Still not saluting.'
Oops! I was wrong on the direction of KWRD 100.7mHz, the angle from true North is 346 degrees, which is essentially off the back side of my Winegard FM only antenna. A recheck using FM Fool shows the signal level at my location of this station is -9dBm, a very stout signal.

Valuing Mortality-Risk Reduction: Using Visual Aids to Improve the Validity of Contingent Valuation
- Cite this article as:
- Corso, P.S., Hammitt, J.K. & Graham, J.D. Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (2001) 23: 165. doi:10.1023/A:1011184119153
We investigate the validity of contingent valuation (CV) estimates of the value per statistical life (VSL). We test for sensitivity of estimated willingness to pay (WTP) to the magnitude of mortality-risk reduction and for the theoretically predicted proportionality of WTP to risk reduction using alternative visual aids to communicate risk. We find that WTP is sensitive to the magnitude of risk reduction for independent subsamples of respondents presented with each of three alternative visual aids, but not for the subsample presented with no visual aid. Estimated WTP is consistent with proportionality to risk reduction for the subsamples presented with a logarithmic scale or an array of 25,000 dots, but not for the subsample receiving a linear scale. These results suggest that CV can provide valid estimates of WTP for mortality-risk reduction if appropriate methods are used to communicate the risk change to respondents.

It looks like it's time to update my Value of a Hacked Email Account graphic: Real estate and title agencies are being warned about a new fraud scheme in which email bandits target consumers who are in the process of purchasing a home.
In this scheme, the attackers intercept emails from title agencies providing wire transfer information for borrowers to transmit earnest money for an upcoming transaction. The scammers then substitute the title company's bank account information with their own, and the unsuspecting would-be homeowner wires their down payment directly to the fraudsters.

Hot Chocolate Cookies
My kitchen looks like elves threw up all over it. There are dishes e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e..there's glitter on the floor,dried peppermint frosting,cookie crumbs,flour sprinkled in places I didn't realise it could reach, butter smears on the counter tops,door handles and my clothes..my tongue is numb from taste testing everything and you know what? I'm so happy :)
Here is another last minute cookie you seriously need to make if you can. If you love hot chocolate you are going to love these cookies. It uses hot chocolate powder and is crammed full of white,milk and semi sweet chocolate chips. Alot of people have started leaving out 1 cup of the chocolate chips in place of mini marshmallows..that could totally work. I didn't have any on hand and no milk chocolate so I just used the other two and it was still perfect. They are slightly chewy with a soft center and if feel like seriously rocking it..enjoy it with a cup of hot chocolate!
Hot Chocolate Cookies
1 cup Unsalted Butter,softened
1 cup Sugar
2/3 cups Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
4 (1oz) pkgs Hot Chocolate Mix (about 1 cup) Not sugar free!
1 tsp. Salt
1-1/4 tsp. Baking Soda..I used just 1
1 cup each White,Milk and Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
Preheat oven to 350 or 180 celcius. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl,whisk together the flour,hot chocolate mix,salt and baking soda;set aside.
In a large mixing bowl,cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix in with a wooden spoon ( the dough will be stiff yet soft and that's ok!)
Chill dough between 30 mins-1 hour ( I'm not sure why you even need to chill the dough since it's pretty solid. I chilled it long enough to eat lunch and that was around 30 minutes)
Drop tablespoons size pieces of dough onto prepared pan. Bake 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. ** I baked mine for exactly 10 minutes and they still looked slightly underdone in the middle..but we love that gooey part of it.** Allow to cool on pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
Yield: 30 plus cookies..depends on the size of your dough balls

Chocolate Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
The christmas music is blaring and I'm running around like a mad woman. I'm happy of course but crazy behind schedule! I do this to myself every single year. I always think I have more time than I really do. It doesn't matter though because in the end you push the stuff thats important up front and let everything else go. As long and I make the important christmas cookies my family could care less about the peppermint bark I never got around to making..and who says I cant make it for Valentines Day?
I whipped these cookies up this morning. They are HUGE and chewy and wonderful and about the only thing that could make them even better would be a hint of cinnamon. I will be adding that next time.
Is anyone else baking today??
Chocolate Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
1 cup Unsalted Butter,softened
1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
6 TBS Sugar
2 Eggs
1-1/2 tsp. Vanilla

1-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
2-1/4 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats or Quick Cooking Oats
1-1/2 cups Shredded Sweetened Coconut
2 cups (12oz) Mini Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
Preheat oven to 350 or 180 celcius. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with a nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl,beat together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time,beating well after each addition. Beat in vanill,salt, and baking soda. Add in flour and beat just until combined. Add in oats,coconut and chocolate chips and beat until combined..(I went ahead and mixed in the oats,coconut and chocolate chips using a wooden spoon.)
Place 1/4 scoops of dough onto prepared sheet,atleat 3 inches apart. Pat down to circles 1/2 inch high.
Bake for 15 minutes,rotating cookie sheet halfway though the baking time. Cool for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completly.
** I went ahead and used a 2 inch cookie scoop and was able to get close to 30 cookies out of this recipe. I also cut the baking time down to about 12-13 minutes.**
Yield: 20 Big Cookies

Cranberry Pistachio Pudding Cookies
I love pistachios..love love love them. I love pistachio ice cream, cookies, cake, pudding and just sitting on the couch and cracking their shells open and eating them one by one.
The delightfully chewy cookies are made with a pudding mix that was sent from home. I hoard my pudding mixes because the mixes they sell here are limited to only a few flavors and they don't mix up correctly and have an odd taste to them. I was given a candy cane pudding mix for my birthday and I'm trying to tell myself to just enjoy the moment,don't hoard it, and make it this christmas...maybe with a chocolate pie crust to pour into :)
These cookies are perfect for christmas! They have a wonderful light green color from the pudding mix and the bright red cranberries pop against the green. These are buttery,delicious and will look great on your cookie tray!
Cranberry Pistachio Pudding Cookies
1 cup Unsalted Butter,softened
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 (3.4oz) package Instant Pistachio Pudding mix

Raw-Lemon Coconut Bars
The shooting in CT has been all over the news here in The Netherlands. I sat on the coffee table in front of the tv with my hands over my face. I just couldn't believe it. I don't even have the words for something like this. The grief is being felt all over the world and my thoughts and prayers are with the families during this time. I can honestly say that the older I get, the more I don't understand alot of things...espically when it's these types of things.
I do know that when I'm stressed and thinking about things I tend to head into the kitchen and make something. I was thinking of my two boys and the panic quickly rises in you and you want to keep them inside and away from everything. The only way I know how to do that is by baking. I whipped up this nutritious snack that went over way better than I had ever imagined. I guess these are like Larabars..have you ever had those? I haven't and I'm not sure where to buy them here if I could. I did notice that alot of my friends from back home complained of the price tag and it was then that I started noticing all of these home made versions of the bars. A friend on facebook came back from the U.S. raving about them and set out to find a recipe she liked. She came back with this one and I made it right away. I loved it..more than I thought I would. Now Im on the look out for more of these recipes.
The only change I made was to use sweetened coconut instead of the unsweetened. I think it went better with the lemon zest and added a touch of sweetness to the whole mix.
Raw-Lemon Coconut Bars
3/4 cup Plus 1 TBS Almond Meal or 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1-1/2 cups Pitted Dates or 1-1/4 cups Chopped Dates or Raisins
1 cup Unsweetened Dried Shredded Coconut
Zest of 1 Lemon
2 TBS Lemon Juice
If using chopped dates,cover them with warm water, and let them soak for 5 minutes; then drain. If using sliced or slivered almonds,place them into your food processor and mix until a meal forms.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of almond meal over the bottom of an 8 inch square pan. Add the remaining mix to the food processor and mix until well combined..(looking back I should of whirled them longer.,mine came out slightly crumbly and it should be more of a dense type of mixture..so whirl the poo out of it all). Press into prepared pan.
Chill for atleast 2 hours or until firm and then cut into 12 squares. Wrap each piece in wax paper and keep covered in an airtight container. ( I went ahead and just layered wax paper between each layer of bars. They didn't last more than a day in my house!)
the website has some variations on this recipe if you aren't a fan of lemon..make sure to check them out!

Chocolate Rum Snowballs
Have you started your holiday baking yet? I know that so many bloggers out there start their posts close to the end of November but honestly, I am just not in the mood for it until December actually hits. Then when the time has come I pretty much know what I'm baking. We stick to what we love the most and then I will add a few new ones here and there.
This is one of the newer recipes I have tried over the last week and we LOVED it! These are very much like a mexican wedding cake only with chocolate and rum! The original recipe calls for rum but I don't keep alcohol in the house. I have no ide as to why either. I'm not opposed to the odd drink here and there but for the most part I am not a fan of the alcohol flavor. So I swapped it for the extract and it was incredible. If you aren't a fan of rum flavoring no matter what,sub in 1 tablespoon of strong brewed coffee..if you aren't a fan of coffee flavor then I'm totally out of options for you at this point :) These are buttery,chocolatey and a new favorite around these parts!
Chocolate Rum Snowballs
3/4 cup (170grams) Unsalted Butter,softened to room temp
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 TBS Dark Rum or 3/4 tsp. Rum Extract
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/3 cup Sugar
1-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
6 oz Chopped Dark Chocolate or Semi Sweet Chocolate
1 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans
1 cup Powdered Sugar..for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 350 or 180 celcius. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl,combine butter,vanilla,rum,salt and sugar. Beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until creamy,about 3-5 minutes. Add the flour and cinnamon and beat until well combined. Stir in the chocolate and nuts by hand using a large wooden spoon until evenly distributed ( you can of course use a stand mixer in which case,use the paddle attachment to cream and then switch over to a large rubber spatular and stir in the chocolate and nuts).
Form dough into 1-inch round balls. Place the balls of dough onto prepared sheet,leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each.
Bake 18-20 minutes,until the edges are golden brown and tops are very dry. Allow to sit for 2 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool a further 5-6 minutes.
While still warm,sift desired amount of powdered sugar over the cookies. You can also just dip the tops into a bowl of powdered sugar..which is what I did.
Yiled: 19-20 cookies

She's the daughter of famous hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, and Paulina Gretzky proves that athleticism runs in the family with her latest magazine spread.
In the May 2014 issue of Golf Digest, the 25-year-old model chatted about playing sports as a child and revealed more details about her relationship with professional golfer Dustin Johnson.
She dealt with tons of backlash after posting numerous sultry shots of herself on her Twitter page, and now Paulina Gretzky reveals her true thoughts about the criticism in Maxim magazine's December 2013 issue
Love is in the air as summer winds down and Paulina Gretzky is proof of that as she just confirmed her engagement to pro golfer Dustin Johnson.
Posting a photo of the two sharing a smooch on Instagram, the daughter of legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky wrote, "Never Been Happier @djohnsonpga."
After nabbing a spot on Maxim's Hot 100 list, Paulina Gretzky showed just why she was picked to be a part of the elite grouping with her sexy cover of the February 2013 issue of Flare magazine.
Taking a break from her quest for prominence in the music industry, Paulina Gretzky put together a hot, new feature included in the August/September 2012 issue of Complex magazine.

Welcome aboard Jacqui, hopefully using the seach function you found the answer to your questions. If not, repost your question as a new thread.
I bet if you do a search using Bluetooth as the keyword a boat load of information will surface.
Again, welcome and congrats on the new car.

WMC Board Member Gloria Feldt Discusses Public Reaction to Komen Decision
| February 7, 2012
WMC Board Member and former President of Planned Parenthood Gloria Feldt has written an article for the Daily Beast on the implications of the recent Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to pull funding from Planned Parenthood.
"If this were just about Planned Parenthood," she writes, "or yet another battle over abortion, the outrage would be dissipating."
The reality, however, is that "women saw enough red to get over the pink" and are in no place to forgive the Komen Foundation any time soon. "The American Association of University Women cancelled plans to incorporate a Race for the Cure into their National Conference for College Women Leaders" and they haven't changed their minds even after the Komen Foundation's apology and semi-retraction of their decision.
Feldt views this public refusal to forgive the foundation as a step towards a stronger feminist solidarity. "Embracing our power," she writes, "is how to overcome the shaming and false allegations toward women's human right to make their own childbearing decisions and reproductive health services that have saved the lives of everyday women, pro-life in the largest sense of that word." Check out the full article here.

Racing Sails
I race my O'Day 34 on Tuesday nights. Unfortunately, we blew out the mylar genny on the last race of the series. I need a new one for next year, but the price is unbelievable.
I'm going to get a price on replacing the bottom panel on my old one, but I have a feeling this may be a harbinger of things to come.
Does anybody know if there is a market for used racing sails?
Bacons or the Sailwarehouse have a fair number of used sails, although a word of caution with used sails, racers tend to use them and abuse them, so finding competitive used ones may be difficult. The exception is highly competitive one design classes where someone may use a set for one regatta and sell them.
We got a lightly used set of J 105 sails that were a close fit for a good price... dacron main and pentex jib... very satisfied.
Honestly, if you're just Tuesday night beer canning, why not just get a tri-radial pentex or other form of dacron sail? I'm guessing a brand new one would be around $2800 from a smaller local loft. A Kevlar of the same variety, add 1k. Add $800~1k to either of those numbers if made by a loft that likes blue.
Try Summerset sail they have new and used, but there are many used racing sail sites with gently used sails
There's not going to be a market for an O'day 34. Sorry.
What's the price on another Mylar sail? Don't replace the bottom panel, mylar shrinks with age, the entire sail is probably shot, you'll be throwing good money after bad. A tri radial dacron laminate might be a good compromise, but buying used racing sails usually isn't a great idea. Unless, as said above, it's a J24, Melges 24, etc.
Get lots of sail quotes, and you might be surprised at what you can talk your way into.
I would not do a dac/mylar laminate, like Norths Norlam or equal, these do not get the mileage that straight dacron gets, or for that matter, My Ullman Fiberpath is doing better after many more tacks, miles etc than the Dac/mylar sail I have.
I would look at a sail made with Dimension Polyant in the DP or GPL cloth, may be equal to a triradial pentex mentioned earlier. Or Ullman has a CAL sail, a panel sewn scrim laminate with a cost just about a GOOD dacron sail. I paid about 1700 for a 140, a dacron would have been about 1500. I could find some lofts as low as 1000 in dacron for my boat. My Fiberpath was $3K-3500 IIRC. $$ are shown only as examples, my boat is 5' shorter.
I use the CAL as a daysail/cruise sail, and occasional race, pulls really well, better than a dacron, not as good as my FP tho. From a cost standpoint, the CAL or a DP/GPL/pentex tri-radial sail frankly would be your best $$ options.
I do know one person with a sister boat to me on the east coast, that looked at Bacon's website almost daily, after a few months, did find a pentex sail in great shape for about half the cost of a new on.
That is a lot of useful information. Guess I have some calls to make. Even though it's just beer can racing, Dacron just won't do. You can't keep a crew happy without being competative. Thanks for all the help.
You can also try Atlantic Sail Traders in Florida, they make new sails and sell used ones. Nice folks to work with.
The problem is, why did someone get rid of the old racing sail? Right, either it was shot, it wasn't flying right, or, what, the sail is perfectly good but the boat sank so they have sails to get rid of? (Unlikely but possible.)
AST has some glue-seamed foresails that are pretty competitive and not a whole lot more than "good" used sails. Try asking them about that, although glue doesn't seem to be as durable as sewn sails. (3-4 years instead of 5+)
The problem with used sails, is that even with a money-back guarantee, you lose two-way shipping if you return them. And that can really take a bite these days.

Governor Kitzhaber appointed two people to key economic development positions Tuesday.
Sean Robbins was named as the new director of Business Oregon, the state's economic development department. And Kitzhaber also named Vince Porter as his senior policy advisor on jobs and the economy.
"Oregons economy is moving in the right direction. We need to maintain our focus to ensure our economic recovery reaches every corner of the state," said Kitzhaber. "Sean and Vince both have proven track records and hands-on experience in economic development. Both are ready to get to work, leveraging Oregons natural assets and homegrown talent to generate new opportunities for communities large and small."
Robbins currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Greater Portland Inc, a public-private partnership that has helped attract more than 1,000 new jobs to the region. Under Robbins' leadership, it has also teamed with the Brookings Institution to launch an initiative aimed at doubling the export economy, and broadened collaboration between private and public sector leaders.
Robbins holds a Master of Science in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Iowa.
If confirmed by the Senate, Robbins will begin his new job on June 1, following Tim McCabes retirement after six years leading Business Oregon. McCabe's career includes working in the Governor's Office and at PacifiCorp.
Porter is currently Executive Director of the Governors Office of Film and TV, where he has served since 2008. In that role, he has helped strengthen Oregons film and television industries, recruiting record amounts of production spending in the state over a two-year cycle.
Prior to joining the state, Porter was Vice President of production at Showtime Networks from 1996 to 2008. He received his Bachelor of Science from Ball State University, where he majored in telecommunication. He begins his new position on April 7.

Great results when used once per week. Does smooth the skin, improve texture and eliminate fine wrinking around mouth and forehead. It is possible the skin is slightly thicker, but I really can't tell.
I have used it for 6 months. The eye area was treated with no adverse effect(once every 2 weeks). It improved the eye area, minimally but would not dare to use it more often. Few side effects in the beginning, limited to flakiness.
Overall, a great product at a great price. I have almost half the tube left after 6 months.

Camera Purchase - Which one?
I need to purchase a new digital camera and I've read the forums here, forums on other web sites, and reviews across the board. I just can't decide what I should get. I started out just wanting a point and shoot, but a good one. I ended up at the DSC-T700 Sony, but at 400.00, it seems a bit steep for a point and shoot but small and handy. On the other hand, I really like the reviews on here and other forums of purchasing a Nikon D40 or Nikon D80 or D90 Series camera. The D40 is only a 6.0 megapixel camera but has a rather fast shutter speed and seems to take very clear pictures. I looked at the D60 but it seems it's not much better than the D40, just 4 more megapixels. So what should I do? I'm really leaning on the DSLR Nikon cameras, just not sure which camera is more appropiate for me to purchase. It will be used for everything from watching my girls grow up to vacations, school events, weddings, what ever else is needed. I will be vacationing around the US over the next several years as well. Sorry for the long haul here but I figured you guys would want more info.
