Montana's senior U.S. Senator Max Baucus introduced bipartisan legislation today to make sure Montana can take advantage of new job-creating export opportunities when Russia joins the World Trade Organization (WTO) this summer. Without this legislation, Montana ranchers will miss out on opportunities to sell more than 60,000 tons of American beef to Russia at a lower cost to Montana.
"This bill will make sure Montana ranchers can sell more beef to Russia and that means more jobs for Montana - it's that simple," Baucus said. "We saw firsthand how trade deals deliver jobs, when I brought the Colombian, Korean and Australian Ambassadors to Montana a few weeks ago to announce major deals with Montana ranchers and manufacturers. I'm eager to get this bill through the Senate, so we can start brokering new deals to sell even more Montana beef to Russia."
In May 2012, Baucus announced a Montana cattle purchase by the Ambassador of Colombia, and a $ 1.5 million sale by a Montana manufacturer to Korea, after traveling to Colombia and leading passage of trade deals with both countries in 2011. Baucus also announced a half million dollar sale by a Montana manufacturer to Australia, with whom the U.S. also has a trade deal.
Earlier this year, Baucus traveled to Russia and met with top leaders -- including, then President, Dmitry Medvedev and the Russian Agriculture Minister Yelena Skrynnik -- to begin his push to get today's legislation through the Senate.
In March, Baucus brought Montana Stockgrowers President Watty Taylor before his Senate Committee to speak on the importance of today's legislation for American ranchers.
Baucus' legislation has broad bipartisan support from:
International Trade Subcommittee Ranking Member John Thune (R-S.D.),
Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.), and
Armed Services Committee Ranking Member John McCain (R-Ariz.).
What Baucus' Bill Means for Montana Beef:
Under Baucus' bill, Russia's accession to the WTO will significantly expand market access for American beef, by allowing 60,000 tons of frozen U.S. beef to be sold in Russia under a reduced tariff of 15 percent. In addition, Montana ranchers will also be able to sell up to 11,000 tons of fresh chilled beef in Russia at the reduced tariff. And, the United States will be able to export high-quality beef above the allotted amount at a 15 percent rate as well.
Russia is already America's 5th largest export market for American beef by volume. The U.S. currently exports 48,000 tons and current tariffs fluctuate from 15 to 60 percent.
Additional background:
American exports of goods and services into Russia are expected to double to $19 billion within five years of Russia's accession to the WTO.
But in order for American companies, and Montana ranchers, to receive the full benefits of Russia joining the WTO, the U.S. Congress must pass legislation providing Russia with what is known as Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR). This is what the bill Baucus introduced today will do.
Russia agreed to open its markets and follow WTO rules as part of its accession to the WTO. Unlike a free trade agreement, the United States will not have to grant any market access benefits to Russia as part of its accession. But American ranchers and businesses will not be able to benefit from Russia joining the WTO without Congress passing the PNTR legislation Baucus introduced today.
WTO member countries formally invited Russia to join the WTO in December 2011. Russia will become a WTO member 30 days after it ratifies the accession agreement, which it must do by July 23.

Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has issued a "come and get me" call to the English Football Association as it searches for a new coach to replace Steve McClaren, who was sacked six days ago. In an interview with British tabloid The Sun, Mourinho suggested he would be interested in an offer from the FA -- an incredible U-turn considering that the Portuguese had been asked repeatedly but denied any interest in coaching an international team while McClaren was still England manager.
"You will have to speak to the FA to see if they are interested in offering me the
job," Mourinho said. "I cannot say what I think until they say they are interested."
"Tell the FA to come and get me," he added. "We will have to wait and see, but I rule nothing out."
Following his comments, one leading British bookmaker cut the odds of Mourinho getting the job to just 2 to 1 -- others have stopped taking bets that the self-described "Special One" would
eventually assume the role as England coach.

Bentonville, Ark. – Wal-Mart Stores said Mike Duke will retire as president and CEO, effective Feb. 1, 2014, and will be replaced by veteran company executive Doug McMillon. McMillon, 47, president and CEO of Walmart International, was also named to Wal-Mart's board, effective immediately.
"This leadership change comes at a time of strength and growth at Walmart," said Rob Walton, chairman of Walmart's board of directors. "The company has the right strategy to serve the changing customer around the world, and Doug has been actively involved in this process. The company has a strong management team to execute that strategy. Doug is uniquely positioned to lead our growing global company and to serve the changing customer, while remaining true to our culture and values."
In his current position, McMillon oversees Wal-Mart's operations outside the United States, which includes 6,300 stores. From 2006 to 2009, he was president and chief executive of Sam's Club.
Duke has been president and CEO of Wal-Mart since February 2009. He will continue serving as chairman of the executive committee of the board and, in the tradition of his predecessors, stay on as an advisor to McMillon for one year. The company plans to make an announcement on McMillon's successor as CEO of Walmart International by the end of the fiscal year.
By the end of the fiscal year — Jan. 31 — the company plans to announce McMillon's successor as CEO of Walmart International.

New to GS.com
Hi there we are a small family from La Palma, Souther Cali. We have join this forum in hope to get a better understanding of the breed and how this breed will fit into our family. We are a family of 4, my dauther is going to be 3 years old soon and my son is only 5 months old. My husban is a traffic light eng... and was raised with a GS from 3 years old. I my self have never been around dogs. My older brother always had Pit-bulls. So that is why we are here to learn from u guys and maybe find a local person to aid us in our joiurny to a new family member.
P.S For some reason my hubby dose not whant to just purchase any GS. His dogs he had before were all AKC and had to be black and red. his last pair is GS were poison. During a attempted home invasion, where he was shoot and was force to sell his house because of it. Its been over 5 years sin this happen to him and i hope hes up to getting his kids the same great memories he haves of his dogs he haves own to date.
Thank you for ur time and all imput, a loving mother trying to find that last piece missing from our family. Anahi B.
Welcome Aboard!!
Welcome to the forum.
Having a puppy is alot like getting another human baby. Many people wait for their children to get a bit older knowing the time and effort kids take let alone adding another!
Make sure you have a good read on Welcome to the GSD/FAQ's for the first time owner - German Shepherd Dog Forums
even more specifically http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...ind-puppy.html there are alot of bad breeders with not so good pups heath and temperament wise, so doing research (no petstores!) on the front end is key.

Welcome!!! I don't know how far you are willing to travel for a pup but Crooked Creek Ranch has amazing well bred German shepherds.

A Summerville mother is still waiting for justice, more than a year after someone shot her son in the chest.Police say Amellio Price was shot last August during a fight with Carlos Underwood, 34.Underwood is back on the streets, but prosecutors say they need more time for evidence to be processed at the state crime lab."I'm very frustrated," Carolyn Perry said on Monday. "It's been more than a year, and I'm just wanting justice."It seems like a simple request. But as Perry is finding out, justice doesn't always come swift.Police say her son, Price, was shot outside a home on Sixth Ave. in Summerville last August. The bullet grazed his heart and lungs. Doctors said it's a miracle he survived.Perry said, "when doctors did the surgery that night, they said if he was any smaller he would have died anyway."Underwood was charged with three felonies, including aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.Someone bailed Underwood out of jail, so he's free, and a grand jury has not heard the case yet. Meantime, Perry has been calling the district attorney's office for answers."All they can tell me is [the evidence] still hasn't come back from the crime lab. But I'm like, what else do they need?"Detective Brian Ozment said right now the state is in "a holding pattern" making sure all evidence is present before going to a grand jury."We want to give them all the information we have. Not spotty or patchy information."Ozment said the initial police work is complete, and crime lab investigators are testing the gun to ensure bullets found inside Price's body match up."Whenever a bullet is fired out of a gun, it leaves almost a unique fingerprint of markings on the bullet," he said.Those tests can take months, and sometimes, like in this case, more than a year. But for moms like Perry, it's too long of a wait. She fears the same thing that happened to her son could happen to someone else."I don't want that to happen, I just want justice."Because of the violent nature of the charges, police tell Eyewitness News there is no real statute of limitations for sending a case to trial.
Channel 3 reached out to GBI to find out what is causing the delay in processing evidence, but did not hear back as of Monday night.

During the next decade, more homes will be built in Wandsworth than any other London borough. As the first residents buy into the Battersea Power Station riverside district, the wraps have come off another dazzling new waterfront quarter in the historic heart of Wandsworth town centre.
For generations, eight-acre Ram Brewery, next to the town hall, has been enclosed by high walls and cut off to the public, corralled by a car-clogged, one-way system hostile to pedestrians and preventing a real sense of neighbourhood cohension.

Tomorrow the first phase of 661 new homes, priced from £300,000, go on sale at the rejuvenated site, which closed down in 2006 after a brewing tradition dating from 1512, including the Young's brewery, the oldest in the UK.
Modern apartment blocks are being built alongside restored heritage buildings that will incorporate a museum with original machinery and a micro-brewery, while a new boulevard with shops, bars and restaurants will run through the site alongside the River Wandle. About half the area will be open public space, with courtyard gardens and a market square.
The river used to be one of the most polluted waterways in England, with 68 water wheels powering tobacco, textile and brewing factories along its nine-mile route from Surrey to the Thames.
But there has been a dramatic clean- up in recent years, with fish species flourishing again and parks and nature reserves created along its banks. At Wandsworth town centre, the river will be opened up to the high street and onwards to the Thames Path. Famous for its low council tax, leafy commons and Nappy Valley yummy mummies, Wandsworth's weakness has been the absence of a convivial town-centre hub.
From £300,000: Ram Quarter includes shared-ownership flats, studios, two-bedroom flats and duplex penthouses
Ram Quarter may provide the answer, an animated place for people living there and a destination for others elsewhere in the borough.
Chinese developer Greenland Group says lessons have been learned from Wandsworth's Thames-side housing schemes, some of which are soulless and sterile, out on a limb and unconnected to public transport, shops and amenities. It is designed as a place for families as well as singles and couples, with architecturally diverse homes ranging from studios to four-bedroom laterals and duplex penthouses priced up to £1.5 million plus affordable shared- ownership flats and underground parking for car-owning residents. Visit the marketing suite or call 0800 088 6777.
The brewery redevelopment links in with other town-centre regeneration. Southside shopping mall is getting a facelift. A Waitrose supermarket has opened, helping to address the "mismatch" between existing local shops and those that people want, and coming soon is a new Debenhams, the district's first department store.
Nearing completion is The Filaments, formerly a gas mantle factory, with 416 homes priced from £460,000. Also for sale are three-bedroom penthouses with large rooftop terraces priced from £1.15 million. Call Mount Anvil on 0845 077 9770.
From £460,000: there are 416 homes at The Filaments, including three-bedroom penthouses with large rooftop terraces from £1.15 million. Call 0845 077 9770
Gathering pace, too, is a radical redesign of the one-way traffic system, a notorious bottleneck. A transport "dowry" paid by Ram Quarter's developer will help fund the improvements, due to begin in 2017 and be completed by 2019. This rejig will divert traffic away from the high street and make the town centre more pedestrian-friendly, with wider pavements and upgraded shopfronts.
"Traffic has killed the town centre, so this concerted regeneration will help enormously, and open up a key area that buyers have tended to avoid," says Ed Mead of estate agent Douglas & Gordon.
By 2018 the borough will also have two new Northern line stations (at Wandsworth Road and Nine Elms), and the council has ambitions for a further extension to Clapham Junction, which is also getting a make-over.
Wandsworth used to be a predominantly family-house district but regeneration is adding a whole new layer of flats. Where once there were wharves and distilleries — the untidy side of commerce and industry — there are now gleaming developments, many with that vital river view.
"What people always forget about Wandsworth is how huge and diverse it is. You cannot paint it with one large brush; you have to cut it up into sections," adds Mead.
Regeneration is rippling out from both the town centre and Nine Elms to the Wandsworth heartland, where there are still up-and-coming areas. Taylor Wimpey's redevelopment of derelict railway arches and industrial land at Patcham Terrace, close to Battersea Park, is bringing more than 300 homes. To register, call DTZ on 020 3296 2222.
The Schoolyard in Eltringham Street is a scheme of 119 flats in crisp, contemporary-design, low-rise blocks, close to Wandsworth Town station. Prices from £400,000. Call 0844 406 9288.
From £4.95 million: substantial six-bedroom houses at Asquith in Spencer Park have 4,640sq ft of living space
The Ramsay effect
Earlsfield offers good value for young families, with four-bedroom Victorian houses for about £750,000. Terraces close to the town centre, currently affected by the heavy traffic, are likely to get a price boost.
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay came to prominence at Harvey's restaurant, now the Michelin-starred Chez Bruce, in Bellevue, a pretty parade overlooking the common. Ramsay stayed loyal to the area and lives in a Victorian mansion close to the "toast rack" grid of roads off East Hill, one of Wandsworth's top addresses.
A smart development of new townhouses bordering the common also has private access to the "secret garden" of Spencer Park, a green sanctuary for the exclusive use of local residents, with tennis court and children's play area. Each summer the residents adorn the park with candles and enjoy a splendid dinner party. Called Asquith, the scheme comprises four substantial six-bedroom houses of 4,640sq ft. Prices from £4.95 million. Call Savills on 020 3430 6900.

The Headteacher has the authority to exclude a pupil (or the deputy Headteacher in the absence of the Headteacher).
Exclusion is used sparingly and in response to a serious breach of the school's code of conduct. Headteachers only take this decision after other strategies have failed and all attempts have been made to avoid excluding the pupil.
If your child is excluded you will be contacted by telephone by the school. This will be followed by a letter from the Headteacher explaining the reasons for the exclusion, your responsibilities and your rights.
An exclusion means that the child is not allowed to attend school or go onto school premises for either a fixed term or permanently.
The legal framework concerning exclusion is set out in the School Standards and Framework Act 1998
Before excluding a pupil the school would normally have used a variety of strategies such as:
The headteacher may have also considered some of the following factors:
You can state your views if your child has a fixed term exclusion of 5 days or more (either separately or in total) or a permanent exclusion. Write to the school's governing body asking for a meeting with the governors to discuss the exclusion.
If your child is excluded for five days or more in one term (either separately or in total) from an Academy, community, foundation or voluntary-aided school your views should be made in the first instance to the Governing Body's Discipline Committee.
In the case of a permanent exclusion, if you wish to take the matter further you have the right to request an Independent Review Panel following the outcome from the Governing Body's Discipline Committee.

Pakistan in grip of dengue fever outbreak
Thousands of infections reported across the country
Activists and children stage a dengue fever awareness walk in Lahore
ucanews.com reporter, Karachi
September 2, 2013
Pakistan is reeling under an acute outbreak of dengue fever that has left authorities struggling to contain the rampant disease.
Dengue, a tropical disease primarily transmitted by several species of mosquitoes, has already infected thousands across the country.
Unofficial figures put the number of infections at 10,000.
The Sindh Dengue Surveillance Cell estimates nearly 930 people have tested positive for the disease and that the majority of these cases have been reported in Karachi.
"Ten people have succumbed to the deadly fever this year, three of them having died in the past week," Dr Shakeel Aamir Mallick, a Dengue Surveillance Cell spokesman said on Monday.
"Around 50 dengue patients are still being treated at different hospitals and 27 new cases surfaced on Sunday," he said.
Officials and health experts fear more fatalities in the absence of an effective dengue eradication program. The surge in dengue cases has also been linked with the recent torrential rains.
The Sindh Health Department has announced that it will launch an SMS campaign to create public awareness about the disease and subsequent prevention measures. It also said that a fumigation drive was already under way in the city.
Many cases have also been reported in the Swat Valley.
At least 2,000 have bit stricken by dengue in Swat, English-language daily The National reported on Monday.
Cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, head of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf , visited Swat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province last week to assess the situation and met patients.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has declared an emergency in three main hospitals of Peshawar and asked health workers to remain on alert.
At least 58 dengue cases have surfaced in Punjab, where over 300 people died in the worst recorded dengue outbreak in 2011, according to the provincial health department.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are between 50 million and 100 million infections each year around the world.
In mild cases, dengue fever causes a high fever, rash and joint and muscle pain. In extreme cases, it can cause death.
About 12,000 people die of dengue fever each year, according to the WHO.

Do you notice how much my blog posts go in waves? 4 in a week....then silence for 4 weeks. :) Sorry - it's the life of a mom!
Any way, as with the rest of you, I'm trying to tackle some big projects and am still riding the New Year wave of inspiration.
We finally added a guest room set-up in the Craft Room.
You might remember my old craft room from our previous house...it never got done because, well, we moved! Then, moving here, having a baby, and starting all over - this room has really become a catch-all that we can close the door on most days and pretend like the mess isn't there.
That's called denial, I know.
Yes, we JUST unpacked some boxes a couple weeks ago. Almost a year after living here. Just keep it real.
It's a new year though. So I moved on.
Scored a great deal last week on Craigslist (you can buy a new one here), and husband whipped it together one night.
Now we finally have somewhere for all of our guests (aka my sister) to sleep!
In a house full of boys, this room is shaping up to be just mine. A little girly, a little tom-boy'ey, a little vintage and lots of stripes.
Oh, do you spy that adorable plaid pillow?
One of my besties, Kendra, just opened up her Etsy shop with the cutest custom pillows you'll ever find. Literally, anything custom.
More on her later, but for now - jump over to her shop and her Facebook page and say hi.
And pat me on the back for getting a guest bed in our house.
Hopefully, I'll be able to do a full Craft Room/Guest Room reveal soon! Stay tuned!

Went down to my local subaru dealership this saturday for their yearly garage sale (all accessories on discount). They were offering the 17" BBS RK's for a good price but you had to purchase the rubber. I argued with the manager but finally was basically told if I don't like the deal, then don't buy the wheels, so I bought the wheels and rubber. Cost to me was 475$ each canadian, works out to around $325 american, was pretty happy still with the deal. Now I'm trying to figure out what type of rubber this is I got with the wheels.
They are Remington XT-120 Z, 215 45ZR17 87W. Should also note it is mentioned on the tire that they are "Steel Belted Radials", made in Japan. 280 Tread, traction and temp with A rating.
What this tells me is a "max performance" all season tire with an extremly high speed rating. What is doesn't tell me is if these tires have a reputation for falling apart is 5000k etc... So if you know anything about these tires, please reply, and let me know $$value as well. I'm debating trading them in for a set of grippier "AA" summer radials which I really want.

Hey Guys,
Since there have been so many threads in here about DSG issues I thought it might be better to have them all orginized into 1 thread. Like we have seen in past threads to make it somewhat easy to read about one particular issue state:
1. Model - Year
2. Miles
3. Explanation of Issues
Hopefully this will help out people who are having issues with their DSG transmission and get the problem remedied. Discuss. [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]

Waitress Receives $446 On $6 Check, Has No Idea Why
An Indianapolis Steak 'n Shake waitress' shift recently took an incredible turn when a customer decided to leave her a $446 tip on a bill that came to $5.97.
The customer, a regular who goes by "Miss Jo," didn't give the waitress any explanation but insisted she take the generous tip.
Sounds like the waitress, CeCe Bruce deserved it though:
"She stays late, comes in early. Whenever we need her, she's here," Gooley told WISH-TV. "It just lets servers know that you work hard and it does pay off. There are people out there that [if] you do your job people reward you for it."

During the first phase of testing, certain frequent fliers and certain members of CBP's Trusted Traveler programs, including members of Global Entry, SENTRI, and NEXUS, who are U.S. citizens will be eligible to participate in this pilot, which could qualify them for expedited screening.
At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County airports, certain frequent fliers from Delta Air Lines and certain members of CBP's Trusted Traveler programs who are U.S. citizens and who are also flying on Delta will be eligible to participate in the pilot.
At Miami International and Dallas Fort Worth International airports, certain frequent fliers from American Airlines and certain members of CBP's Trusted Traveler programs who are U.S. citizens and who are also flying on American will be eligible.
TSA plans to expand this pilot to include United Airlines, Southwest, JetBlue, US Airways, Alaska Airlines, and Hawaiian Airlines, as well as additional airports, once operationally ready. If this pilot proves successful, it would help us focus our resources on higher-risk and unknown passengers, while expediting screening for lower-risk and known passengers whenever possible.
Only those passengers who initially agree to "opt in" from those populations will have the opportunity to participate at this time. And of course, passengers are always subject to random, unpredictable screening measures and at no point would participation in this pilot automatically qualify a passenger for permanent expedited screening.
This will very much be a work in progress. It's important to remember that this is starting off as a pilot program - an effort to validate our ideas on how to move forward. But, if successful it is a substantial shift away from the one size fits all and we think you'll like it.

Florida Baseball Wins Final Mid-Week Game In Dramatic Fashion
Published May 9th, 2012
Loading Video...
Mike Zunino delivered two doubles for the Florida Gator baseball team Tuesday night, and both were crucial in the Gators 4-3 win over North Florida. The first helped the Gators draw even with the Ospreys at 2-2 in the bottom of the third inning, and the second came in the bottom of the 11th- a walk-off double that drove in the winning run. The Gators now hold a record of 36-13 on the season, and have just six games left in the regular season: three against Mississippi State this weekend, and three at Auburn starting May 17.

The FDI destination of choice" has been released by the Foreign Investment Office (FIO) part of the Dubai Economic Department. The findings are encouraging as overall investor confidence in Dubai fared well, indicating a positive position after times of global turbulence.
Asked about their future plans, 81 percent of investors who have investments in Dubai, mentioned that they plan to maintain or increase investment in the emirate. These findings are especially striking when compared to equivalent global figures. When asked about their global investment budgets, 37 percent of global investors indicated that they plan to decrease their investments. Almost half of the investors who are planning to increase their investments in Dubai plan to reinvest in their current businesses.
"The general rule that the current investor is essential to future investment flows appears to hold true in Dubai. This is especially important in times of global turbulence when many investors seek new opportunities" said Mr. Fahad Al Gergawi, CEO of Foreign Investment Office (FIO).
The report finds that approximately 29 percent of the bullish investors plan to enter into new joint ventures with local partners, and 14 percent plan to acquire equity in local companies in order to grow their presence in the market.
The report highlights a number of industries as more positively inclined than others to invest in. The industries that have the most attractive profile in Dubai are telecoms and utilities. Dubai is also a top ten choice among executives from the financial services industry, being the sixth most important destination globally for future investments. Non-financial services executives (representing companies from fields such as transportation, business services, health care, legal services and education) ranked Dubai among the global top 20 FDI destinations. Finally, primary industry investors rank Dubai above the global median while manufacturing industries (both heavy and light manufacturing) are more bearish about Dubai's prospects ranking Dubai below the global median.
"Considering the solid foundation of FDI attractiveness in Dubai and the reported future prospects, the Foreign Investment Office (FIO) will continue to consider ways and venues to further support Dubai in cementing its top FDI destination globally," concluded Mr. Al Gergawi.

Tomas Rosicky may yet miss the Champions League tie at Barcelona because of Karl Henry's challenge on Saturday.
The Wolves midfielder went through the back of the Czech international during the second half at Emirates Stadium over the weekend and was shown a straight red card.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy disputed the decision and, at the time, Wenger himself was unsure over the validity of the sending off but the damage on Rosicky's leg is still evident.
Apparently there are four visible stud marks and, as a result, he is rated as 50:50 for the Champions League Quarter-Final second leg at the Nou Camp.
"We will see about him tomorrow," said Wenger on the eve of the game. "When you look at his calf, you can see the tackle of Henry was not as innocent as it looked."
However the Arsenal manager would be not be drawn into a deep discussion with such a massive game coming up.
"I let people talk," he said. "We have to focus on this game rather than answer the critics. We are used to that. No matter what happens, we always get that. We have to focus on this game."

New York, November 14, 2013 -- Local governments in Rhode Island are seeking new ways to help reduce
their healthcare costs, including shifting retirees onto the new
Affordable Care Act (ACA) healthcare exchanges, reducing healthcare
benefits, and raising employee co-pays, says Moody's
Investors Service. Healthcare expenses continue to increase faster
than inflation, and Rhode Island municipalities, along with
other cities like Chicago, are using multiple strategies to provide
budget relief in this area.
"The State of Rhode Island is exploring how local governments may
be able to reduce costs by moving a subset of retirees from their local
benefit plans onto individual insurance plans that retirees would buy
on the ACA insurance exchange," says Vito Galluccio,
the Moody's analyst who wrote the new report, "Rhode
Island Municipalities Look To ACA Exchanges and Other Strategies to Reduce
Growing Healthcare Expenses."
Only qualifying retirees that are ineligible to receive Medicare could
purchase insurance from the exchange. These include retirees under
the age of 65 with incomes at or below 400% of the federal poverty
level, says Moody's. Retirees who use the exchange
would receive a federal subsidy based on their income level to help pay
the insurance premiums. Any transition of employees to the exchange
would likely require significant negotiations with public employee bargaining
Other strategies Rhode Island local governments are pursuing include reducing
employee and retiree healthcare benefits and increasing co-pays,
transferring retirees onto Medicare, joining municipal insurance
consortiums, and funding OPEB trusts.
Several stressed local governments in the state, including Central
Falls, Providence, and Woonsocket, have employed these
strategies to significantly reduce their healthcare costs, says
Local governments are responsible for the administration of healthcare
benefits and funding of the liability, including determining plan
provisions, obtaining actuarial valuations, making required
contributions, investing assets, and paying benefits to retirees.
Rising at over twice the pace of inflation, high healthcare costs
have strained Rhode Island local governments' budgets and increased
their other post-retirement healthcare benefit (OPEB) liabilities,
which the Rhode Island Auditor General estimated at $3.5
billion in fiscal 2011.

July 13, 2002 — De Kalb, IL . . . A plethora of inspiring notes warmed the hearts of Drum Corps Midwest Championships fans under a gorgeous night sky for the 25th anniversary of the corn country circuit. Jeff Fiedler's Cavaliers confidently demonstrated that last year's honors would not be rested until far more 2002 trophies are added. While the Glassmen and Phantom Regiment had tied at the previous night's prelims, PR edged out the G'men in the finals. In division III, the Blue Stars beat out the Americanos, while Minnesota Brass clinched Minnesota and DCM Senior bragging rights over the Govenaires.
Andrea Birbilis, from Northern Aurora days, performed another spine-tingling Star Spangled Banner to arouse the large crowd. Roman Blenski, executive director of DCM, stated, "Andrea Birbilis, manager of the Racine Scouts, sang the Liberty Weekend Rededication version of the National Anthem originally performed and recorded by Sandi Patty."

Kate's winning way
Few can deny that Kate Winslet was wise to write a winner's speech in the lead-up to the Baftas to prevent a repeat of her gushing performance on the Golden Globes podium last month. But I wonder which film she had in mind when she wrote it? She won, of course, for her role in 'The Reader' but was also nominated for her husband Sam Mendes's film Revolutionary Road (again in the best actress category), for which she apparently received a very modest number of votes from the academy. Let's hope she wrote the winning speech for the right film. Meanwhile, the phenomenally talented Dev Patel, found himself, perhaps a little absurdly for an 18-year old in his first film, nominated alongside the heavyweight Hollywood greats Sean Penn, Brad Pitt, Frank Langella and Mickey Rourke for the best actor gong. Unsurprisingly he failed to win but he didn't look too perturbed. At the lavish Royal Opera House ceremony, he positively glowed all night.
Horsing around
So, the day Mark Wallinger wins the £2m Ebbsfleet Commission, for which he plans a 50m-high white stallion on the chalk pits of Kent, he gets lucky on the horses. Riviera Red, which he part-owns, galloped home at Lingfield. Sadly, Wallinger was too busy talking to the press to place a bet. "I was probably talking to you about Ebbsfleet when Riviera Red won. I don't know whether to laugh or cry," he said.
Yo Shakespeare...
Sir Ian McKellen, who rapped a version of Shakespeare's sonnet "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" after becoming inspired by the kids he was visiting in Limehouse, east London last year, appears to have developed a taste for urban yoof beat. On Tuesday, he launches the Hip Hop Shakespeare Company, with the Mobo award winner Akala. It all kicks off with a workshop, which will discuss similarities between the Bard and the likes of 50 Cent.
Wait till she gets to the naughty bits
Charlotte Roche's X-rated book 'Wetlands', about her 18-year-old narrator's sexual grooming habits (pubic shaving accidents an' all) is now out in Britain in translation. The book's graphic nature caused uproar and fainting fits when it was published in Germany last year. Roche tells 'The Independent' that it would be wise for UK bookshops to prepare for mass faintings, as she plans to do book-readings. "The thing that always happens is people start fainting. I don't even read the hardcore stuff; it's always the first 30 pages, which are quite sexy and light. I hear thumping as people faint. It's a good idea to have people [on call] to carry them out," she says.
Oh snow you don't
It wasn't just Theatreland (and opera land) that came to a standstill when a few inches of snow dusted the land. The Barbican's cinema cancelled its afternoon show, but if staff thought this meant a day building snowmen, they were wrong. A total of 530 calls had to be made by only three box-office staff who made it in to the Barbican to tell ticket holders not to turn up – and another 150 calls were made by staff who hadn't made it in to work after customers' contact numbers had been emailed to their homes.

Help tailights will not work!
So I made a horrible mistake of hooking up a trailer harness up to my tailights not knowing that the difference in gauge of wire would make a difference anyway last night one turn signal stopped working so I took it apart and after I put it back together tailights stopped working all together, so I disconnected the trailer harness guess it was too late, checked all fuses and relays, i don't know what to do, the weird part is, my turn signals and hazards will work when the key is in the on position but not why engine is running, someone help!
Re: Help tailights will not work!
The gauge of wire shouldnt make a difference, It would only be bad if you were running a current too high. As long as the lower amperage of the two can support the current you shouldnt have fried any wiring.
Re: Help tailights will not work!
Also it would seem like in your haste to remove the harness you may have not made a solid connection. We would need more information as this is just a guess going on current info.
Re: Help tailights will not work!
The wires phiscally look fine, and at this point I just removed the harness and its still acting up, everything is back to the way before I even started but its still not right. The dealer said something abou the body control module possibly being damaged, sound right??

There is a continuing dust up between those who claim that commercial photography isn't art and that the photos in museums and galleries shouldn't be sullied by appearing in promotions or ads. Not withstanding the fact that most photographers that fall into the 'collectible' category of fine artists have at one time done commercial work.

Bolton is in a fight for its promotion life, and it has turned to U.S. midfielder Stuart Holden to try and help seal a return to the Premier League. Follow GOAL.COM on Twitter
Bolton recalled Holden from his loan to Sheffield Wednesday a couple of days early amid injuries and its quest to reach the League Championship promotion playoffs. The Trotters currently occupy the final position in the four-team playoffs with games against already-promoted Cardiff City and Blackpool remaining. They lead Leicester City by a point and Nottingham Forest by two for the final playoff berth.
Sheffield Wednesday, which is in its own fight to stay in England's second tier and avoid the drop to League One, had reportedly hoped to extend Holden's loan through the end of the season.
Holden, who is continuing his comeback from long-term injury woes, started four games for Sheffield Wednesday while on his loan. He was held out of Saturday's match against Ipswich Town, though, at the request of his parent club and manager Dougie Freedman, according to The Bolton News.
"Bolton are in a playoff spot, they have one or two injuries, and they want him back," Wednesday manager Dave Jones told the UK publication. "He's got better and stronger as his loan has gone on, and I would like to thank him for his services and wish him the very best for the future."

I have never been able to understand why American conservatives do not like the government of Iran. For a group which seeks an eye for an eye and death is their solution to any crime, one would think Conservatives would regard the current Iranian government as the embodiment of what should be done to criminals. George Bush as governor of Texas presided over the execution of numerous men and refused to show any signs of clemency. Our former president would so enjoy heading the Iranian government which believes death or amputation should be imposed on those who transgress the law. A man known only as "Hamid" will soon lose and eye and have an ear cut off because he threw acid at a man named, "Davoud" which resulted in the loss of an eye and ear. Hamid claimed he had been bullied in high school and his family had to leave town in order to halt the constant attacks on their son. Hamid told authorities, he "couldn't get over it"(the bullying) and bought acid. He waited for students to exit the high school, followed a boy named Davoud and threw the acid at him. Unfortunately, he threw the acid at the wrong person.
Iran handles criminals in a manner that should win praise from American conservatives. A thief had his hand cut off, a man who threw acid was blinded, and over 200 people have been executed the past year for crimes. Isn't it about time we called Iran, "the Texas of Asia?"

UK police explore new line of investigation over missing McCann
LONDON (Reuters) - Police conducting a global search for Madeleine McCann, the British girl who disappeared in 2007, have come up with a new version of events surrounding her suspected abduction and want to question one unidentified man in particular.
McCann, then aged three, went missing from her room at the Praia da Luz holiday resort in Portugal in May 2007 while her parents were dining with friends at a nearby restaurant, triggering a search that gripped the world's media.
In a statement on Sunday ahead of their most detailed TV appeal for information on the case, British police said they planned to release a series of e-fit images of individuals they want to question.
"The purpose of the appeal is to try and identify these men, to eliminate any innocent sightings or to establish if they are connected in any way," British police said.
"The timeline we have now established has given new significance to sightings and movements of people."
Police said they wanted to identify one man in particular who had been seen by two witnesses in the resort area around the time of McCann's disappearance.
"Whilst this man may or may not be the key to unlocking this investigation, tracing and speaking to him is of vital importance to us," Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said.
Working with the BBC's Crimewatch program, police said they had put together the most detailed reconstruction of the day McCann disappeared.
It is to be broadcast in Britain on Monday before similar appeals are launched in the Netherlands and Germany, they said. Continued...

I am so glad that Karma is feeling better. We had company the next day so it is a good thing she wasn't throwing up anymore and that she felt friendly. Mommy's mom and grandma and sister visited. We had lots of fun. I hid great nanny's deoderant somewhere and they still haven't found it. It was nice having someone new to sniff and be petted by. Auntie Emily is lots of fun. She tried to get me to snuggle when she went to sleep. I hung out with her for a while. She was nice. Grandma pretends not to like us cats but I think deep down she thinks we are cute. She actually petted me a few times. They went home yesterday and we all miss them already. I hope they will visit us again soon.
Mom and Dad went to a cat show yesterday. They didn't take us. They thought we would try to run away and we might get trampled by all the people. They think we're big scaredy cats. They also thought we might try to play/fight with all the professional cats and their owners would get mad. They said they saw a lot of strange looking and beautiful cats. Mommy doesn't really like the idea of pure breeding but she said it was neat to see all the different varieties. Some of them she has only seen in books. Mommy also doesn't like some of the new breed trends. The long Siamese heads and the noseless Exotics are just weird to her. I think so too since I have a nice muzzle and a roundish head. Karma has a longer head than me but nothing like those Siameses... they look sort of like snakes. It's neat but mommy thinks we're prettier. They brought us back a toy. It's feathery... I love it! We also got a grooming tool. Who knew I had so much fur. I'm a lot cooler today because mom took a whole cat off of me.
It's been a very quiet day. Normally the parents are here on wednesday because they have it off but this morning mommy got this piece of paper with all her jobs written on it and she got dressed up all nice and even shaved her scratchy legs (thank goodness) now it' s nice to rub against. Then she went to a new place and they had a long talk. Then mommy and daddy had to go and meet with their new vet today. I guess he was pretty good to them. Mommy seemed pleased when she came home. I have spent most of the day napping. I miss mommy and daddy when they are gone but it sure is a great time to catch up on some zzzzs, in fact, I think I may go do that right now.

My name is Lucky Bean. My first name is lucky, my middle name is Bean. I also like the name Steve, but my favorite chew-rope is already named that, and I'm SO not a copydog. If you think I'm perdy, leave me a Rosie, 'kay, dear? I know you will. If you are not, HA, joke's on you! (But at least friend me).
My owner's are twins. Their names are Gwendolyn and Jennifer Morgan. I adore both. They rescued me together, feed me together, take me on walks (more like I take them on walks) together, etc, etc. BSF's isn't a strong enough word to explain their relationship. The only thing they truly fight about is who's gonna pick up after me. ;)

Live or not?
I am curious as to how many electricians and DIY'ers do wiring on the breaker panel while live.
I know it is neither recommended or safe, but sometimes I just feel a little more bold than at other times.
I used to cut the mains whenever I installed or removed any breaker, and always when installing or removing wiring from the box.
However, recently, I have to admit that I have been doing some work on the panel while it is live.
I use the one-hand rule: One hand is always in the pocket while the other is doing the work.
Also, I normally wear safety goggles, just in case there is an arc, and there is any molten copper splashing towards me.
I have never had an incident working live, and have never had one where I was working on a dead panel and made a mistake that would have been an accident on a live one. Then, I don't work on these things every day.
I know that the "right" thing to do is cut the power, but I think as we gain more experience, we also gain more confidence, which can be a good thing or a bad thing.
From what I have seen, most commercial electricians work live whenever possible, as we all know what shutting down a bank of computer servers will mean to the company<g>
I have talked to people who say they don't even kill power when installing a switch or receptacle! Now that takes some very skillful work, especially if you're working with metallic boxes.
I recall once at work our "electrician" was pushing a metallic fish tape through a large conduit, and went a bit too far. The tape made contact with the mains. It created a loud explosion, and knocked out power to the entire plant.
The electrician was OK.
Mean ol Mr. Electricty is invisible until you touch it..
People who do what you are suggesting and continue to get away with it develop a sense of complacency and/or confidence.
Do you really wanna bet your life just so somebody's cornputer wont get shut down while they are playing solitare in thier office cubicle?
Shut down the panel and lock out/tag out. If you plan your work it will only be down a short time.
If you dont, you could be down for a long time. [like forever]
if you work with electricity everyday you build up your confidence and skills and have no problem working on panels that are live.
If you have put on 100's of plugs and switches it is very easy to do it live. Once the wire is on you wrap it in black tape and you don't have to worry about it shorting to the box when you put it in.
Spoken like a man who knows what he is talking about.:no: OSHA has taken it out of our hands and as corporations are educated by their lawyers you will find in the VERY NEAR FUTURE that it will be much easier to have equipment shut down while working on it. Can I install virtually anything live? Certainly, but Google "arc flash" and "arc flash injuries" and you will find out why(besides the fact that it is against company policy) I do it less and less. Often times electricians are killed of disabled FOR LIFE thru equipment malfunction, carelessness of others out of their control, and environmental hazards out of their control. As a DIYer anyone at anytime works anything hot is doing a great diservice to their family.... I really can't state this strongly enough!!!!
I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that often when you shut down a panel, the lighting around it goes out as well.
I have a good headlamp that I love to use. It's a climber's lamp, so I don't get any head protection with it<g>
Rock Climbing... now you want to talk about something that is dangerous?
I don't feel that I am becoming complacent. It's just a little more convenient to work live.
Sometimes, it is the mere fact of knowing that the panel is live that causes you to make that big mistake!
I think of walking over a high bridge which does not have hand rails or barriers.
Sure, I can do it. But my brain would tell me that I am going to fall, so I wouldn't.
So I have to ask myself why I have been doing any live panel work.
I think that I will end that practice here and now.
I will just schedule my work so that I can do it with the least interference.
When it comes down to common sense, I always pride myself in having a lot of it, yet I do things like this.
I suppose there are ways to minimize the risk if you HAVE to work live. I thought of using some sort of flexible plastic shield to cover the live areas while you work in the box.
Thank you for your input to my question. I think what I have read here has forced me to reconsider my choices.
I'll say this one time if you are working live in a commercial (outside of trouble shooting) environment in the USA you are about 10 years behind times. OSHA would not blink an eye for a split second fining your company if they were investigating a compliant for live electrical work. You do not work live!! Anyone working live is working with a company that has no clue of the federal requirements for live work. You do not install receptacles live nor do you install anything on live circuits. If you do... you risk death... be it 120 volts or 480 volts. BTW there are more deaths with 120 volts than any other line voltage.
Anyone that still believes in the one hand rule simply loves to believe in myths. Hearts stop beating from only milliamps of current. Current seeks all paths to ground if that ground is available. If you're that path to ground the current and voltage could care less how many hands you have in your pocket.
In residential work (outside trouble shooting again) there is no reason what so ever to work in a panel with the mains still in the "on" position. In fact it should go to the off position and then your guard either factory or field made should be installed over the mains.
If that electrician at your plant would have had a guard in place he would not have made contact with the mains fishing that tape. These are poorly trained electricians or stupid ones.
I'm a little opinionated in this subject being a union tradesman. Historically the IBEW and other skilled trade unions spearhead safety in the work place. So that an employer cannot put you at risk...you see he will go home to his family...and you may not. And please no one even start with that real world excuse or they will fire me bs. If I worked for a company that ignored the osha regulations in a commercial plant and expected me to work live there would be a real quick issue. If they fired me for refusing to work live they would be some awfully ignorant supervisors....for not realizing the consequences of such an action. In the trade unions we lost a lot of electricians to live work,... their families never to see them again. It was workers that got the safety regulations in place not the companies. So all I can say is... be it residential or commercial or industrial you do not work live !
Oh and by the way if your working live and the company has policy to the contrary (they should) your family will not get a dime of your insurance if you die working live against osha and company policy.
If your company has no lock out tag out procedures then you best sit them down and catch up with the rest of the world.
Lock out tag out is for all companies not just union and is state and federally mandated.
Let me tell you somthing that really can be somehow sligty graphic but let me expain from my experince with this electric shock i did survied that voltage was 600 V DC i was working on the generator have proper LOTO producres [ locked out tagged out ] somehow someone was idiot bypass this safety podcure and i got zonked with full 600 volt from nowhere.
how much i hurt ?? pretty good damm hurt [ i can used the other words but i rather not to in here unless someone can speak in fluent french then they can understand this ]
slightly damaged arm stil using my arm very well but sore little muscule damaged allready heart was out of wreck for short while just feel like a semi truck slam on your chest.
that happend many years ago.
so my simple rule try not to work on hot if possible and if can work at diffrent hours that will be a better choice unless it is a 24/7 place then specal produrce will be ineffect [ i will not expain the details here for safety reason ]
Merci, Marc
sure i got hit with 277 v as well that is nasty as well
In my case, I work only in residential, and then it is only home or family members.
I don't know why I sometimes worked live. It's not any sort of defiance, or overconfidence with me. I think it's more that I just don't want to cause a fuss with everyone when I shut the power off.
I realize that this thinking is stupid, and could get me seriously injured or killed. Then everyone would be asking themselves why I didn't shut off the power.
This is something I have done only a few times, and will do no more.
As far as the guard for the mains; Where do I get one, or what would you recommend in making one for myself?
In the box at home, the terminals and screws are still exposed on top of the mains. I never have liked this. Some of them have the shroud already installed.
In general only a few companies have factory guards available. It is best to make them in the field based on the panel your working in. I've made them from wood, cardboard and plastic. BTW don't go using steel tapes to get your measurements.....:thumbsup: In our plants we had guards for every panel...made most of them in the shop out of 1/4 inch nylon stock and they were either laid in the panels bottom gutter (when possible) or close by the panel for ease of use. Now I realize that not everyone as a homeowner is going to do this but it is an excellent idea if you feel your going to be in your panel(s) very much over the years. Then sometimes we have the luxury of a isolated main disconnect ahead of the dwelling panel....that makes things nice and safe.
I worked as an insurance adjuster about thirty years ago and investigated a case where an electrician was working live with 480 V AC. It was in a University bldg. and they didn't want to shut down the computers. The electrician mistakenly used too long a bolt and made contact with the ground through the hot buss bar. It resulted in a flash which caused severe burns to his face. I visited him in the hospital. He face was permanently disfigured. He was lucky that he wasn't killed.
In reading the original posting, I'm beginning to wonder if this person is for real, or maybe this is an alias for the baloneyman?
After I'd finished my apprenticeship, I got a construction job at a power station (1984). One day, the foreman asked me to disconnect the power from one of the demountable offices because it was being relocated.
I located the fuse board that supplied the office distribution board. The fuse board was in a small room that was always locked. There was absolutely nothing in that room besides the fuse box.
Anyway, I removed the fuses & put them on the floor (I should've taken them with me), left the room & locked the door. I then went to the distribution board & with a voltmeter, checked each phase to earth for voltage. As expected, they were all as dead as doornails.
I had loosened the incoming 3 phase feed to the main breaker & as I was pulling them out (they were all cable tied together), spring tension caused the cables to spring together.
All I saw was a big green dot & nothing else. Basically, I was blind.
Anyway, I got taken to hospital & was treated for 'flash'. I had a total of 2 weeks off work...for 1 week, I couldn't see at all & it took another week to regain normal vision. Even to this day, I suffer constant conjunctivitis...very uncomfortable.
Here's what had happened.
A labourer saw me leave the small 'fuse box' room & decided he wanted to see what was in there so, with a screwdriver, broke into the room. He then proceeded to replace the fuses that I had removed.
He was sacked the following day.
After this incident, if I have had to work on equipment that was isolated elsewhere, I've posted a guard to make sure that nobody plays with things they shouldn't be playing with.
There is only one reason for working on live electrical equipment & that is stupidity!!!
Here's a good reason not to work live.
Do a web search and you'll find out just how disfiguring an arc flash can be -if you live and aren't blind you won't want to look in the mirror.
Here's what had happened.
A labourer saw me leave the small 'fuse box' room & decided he wanted to see what was in there so, with a screwdriver, broke into the room. He then proceeded to replace the fuses that I had removed.
He was sacked the following day.
He should have been more than sacked! Couldn't you have filed a lawsuit?
When I was in High School, there was a kid in my electronics class who was the victim of an arc flash. He had been working with his dad on a live 480V panel. He spent many days in the hospital while surgeons picked copper out of his face. Luckily he was wearing glasses, else his eyes would have been gone.
I think I have been convinced. I will NEVER work live again.
So, is an arc-flash what results when say a piece of copper wire gets shorted between the 110V bus and ground in a breaker panel? This is apparently what happened to my old school mate.
From what I have been reading, an arc-flash is a lot more than that.
That is not to downplay the danger of working on 110/220V panels though.
I watched the video to which jogr's link pointed. Quite impressive, and very scary!
1] a higher than usual voltage usually as a result of a switch opening (back EMF). This high voltage ionises the local air particles, which then conduct electricity & sustains the arc. (Arcs are usually current paths to earth).
2] an electrical fault caused by either a phase to phase or phase to earth fault, although this kind of fault may not necessarily sustain an arc.
In either case, the most important thing is the "Prospective Fault Current", which is the amount of power a transformer (for example) can provide under short circuit conditions. Most general power distribution transformers in Australia (the ones on the power poles) have prospective fault currents of between 20 000 Amps & 50 000 Amps.
As an example, if you were to attach 2 wires to each pole on a 12 volt car battery (100 Amp/hour) & then touched the wires together, you would get a spark.
Do this same experiment with twenty similar 12 volt car batteries connected in parallel (2 000 Amp/hour) & you would get a significantly larger spark...probably molten copper in your hands.
So please don't assume that voltage is the important factor here. It plays a part but Prospective Fault Current is much more significant. Have you ever wondered why circuit breakers have something like "10kA" on them? The 10kA means 10 000 Amps.
