The Juneau Assembly this week decided not to request lower speed limits as part of an Alaska Department of Transportation project in the Auke Bay area.
That means the section of Glacier Highway from Auke Lake to the intersection with Back Loop Road will continue to be designed for a 40 mile per hour speed limit. However, DOT may consider other changes to encourage slower traffic in the area just north of the Auke Bay business district.
DOT Southeast Region Director Al Clough told the Juneau Assembly Committee of the Whole Monday night that it wouldn't make sense to build a road that was either under or over design.
"If we were going to lower the speed limits we would readjust the road footprint accordingly to be the appropriate design standard for those speeds," Clough said. "That would be a pretty significant change in the project as it's already been scoped, as it's been designed, and as it's gone out to the public."
Clough estimated up to a year delay if the project had to be redesigned and put out for further public review.
Pressure from the public was the main reason the Juneau Assembly asked CBJ staff in September to take a look at the project and recommend whether the city should get involved.
Glacier Highway from Auke Lake to Back Loop Road is currently posted at 35 miles per hour. Engineering Director Rorie Watt said an increase to 40 would be acceptable, because of the state's plan to straighten the curve at the Auke Bay Laboratory.
"From our meeting with Planning, Engineering and Manager's staff, we viewed their proposed improvements in that corridor as pretty good solutions," Watt said.
The speed limit in the business district is also 35 miles per hour, except when kids from Auke Bay Elementary School are in the area. Then it's a 20 mile per hour school zone. At about Waydelich Creek, it picks back up to 45 miles per hour.
Clough said a DOT study from two and half weeks ago showed people driving about the speed limit or little a faster through the entire area.
"Essentially right now people are driving 35 to 40 around the curve and within spitting distance of 35 through past the school and such, except when the school zone's active," he said.
Clough and Watt said it would be easier to make changes to the project north of the Auke Bay business district. One suggestion was to put a traffic island in the middle of the road to encourage drivers to slow down.
Clough said DOT would keep exploring its options, but offered no promises.
"We're continuing to look at other traffic island or pedestrian island opportunities," Clough said. "But with the driveways and such it's not looking good to add too many more. But we'll continue to look at that and some other potential changes."
While some Assembly members still expressed frustration about the speed limits, there was reluctance to slow the process down.
The next step for the project is to go to the city's Planning Commission for permits, and Assemblyman Randy Wanamaker said that's the appropriate place to deal with the issue.[quote]"We have city staff and DOT that can work together through the Planning Commission process to do whatever is necessary to hammer out the details. I do not believe this body needs to take official action and potentially cause delay."[/quote]
Clough said the first phase of the project – a roundabout at Glacier Highway and Back Loop Road – is expected to break ground next spring. Construction on the area between Auke Lake and the intersection had been expected next summer, but Clough said it might be postponed by a few months due to what he called "other issues" unrelated to the speed limit discussion.

How ironic. Some people say that using a phone is old fashioned.
Some people argue that email is dead, and that technologies like Skype and Twitter are the way business is conducted in the "modern age." Even FB is supposed to be on its way out.
This thread is a result of that naive mentality. People unfamiliar with how business is currently conducted, think that multimillion dollar companies will do business through such unreliable and relatively new technologies.
Technological innovation is not always an improvement.

It would have been quicker to phone the real Elite and ask them if they have a Jane Stewart. That also would have put you in the situation of being able to chat with the real Elite.
Model agencies do talk to models about weight, when considering what range of markets the model should aim for, however to bring it up before actually interviewing a model says "scam" to me, because I doubt someone would interview someone who doesn't fit the criteria.

" Im a recruiter but NOT an agent. The beauty of that is I don't take any of your pay as all agencies do (usually 20%). The client pays me ONLY when you get hired so you and I work as a team. They pay you directly via paypal or direct bank wire to your account before or at time of shoot. The US dollar is very weak right now internationally therefore the European clothing companies I hire for prefer to have American models, saving money and avoiding travel costs. I hire for all kinds of clothingand also some promotional print work. All pay very well and no taxes taken out since you are technically working internationally.We contract a photographer within 50 miles of where you live to take all the shots of you and we pay them directly, doesnt cost you anything. The clients I hire for send the clothing and posing instructions to you to wear in the shoot. You also get to keep all the clothes! All of my models love that.. I just had a UCLA student buy her first car after a month of work, did about 11 jobs for $6000. It was a lot of shots but basically short time. Not bad for one month.I have about 18 positions available currently. You need a digital camera to audition and do practice runs for whatever spot you are interested in. I know its a lot of info, just let me know what you think and if you are interested."
I recived this email from
> Ashley Thompson
> Director of Talent, Euro Division
> Benvenuto Cellini 25, 72100
I was offered this and I dont know if this is real or not. I replied back telling her i was interested and that I would love to look in to this opportunity and this is what I got back from her.
"Here are some spots that are open, most of the printwork has been booked until mid May but these pay great. I currently have 2 piece string bikini for LA warez pays $350. Francese lingerie which is boyshorts, thongs, thigh highs, bras, no face shown in shots $650. Athletic underwear which requires some limber poses so I prefer ex gymnasts, dancers, cheerleaders $550 and themed print which is babydoll outfits for Japanese line. Plaid skirts, pigtails, all that. $500. Last is parts modeling for underwear line, basically a of rear and front sectional shots. $750. Another is for a foreign pet rescue like PETA, pays $1000 and is artistic.I also have a spot with Aerie in the works and Bebe. Let me know, thanks "
I then asked again how to get started and that i was down to do theses shoots. she replies with this..
"Cassidy, those are a great fit for you!
For now lets start with basic body check shots for sizing and wardrobe choice. I am required by the clients to review for any scars/tattoos/blemishes before paid final shots even if you say there aren't any. It isn't a problem, they just dont like surprises.
Send me 4 shots in a bikini, half front. half rear, wear heels, hair down, smile big, lots of light and large file sizes.Take 6 identical shots in thong/bra/heels/pigtails only, heavy lip gloss and smile big.
Lastly take 4 Fully nude shots, front, back, each side with arms over your head please. I delete all shots after review for your privacy.I will pull the sheet for the spotsyou want to audition for after these body check shots. A digital cam or phone camera is fine, you can even set up your phone and take a video changing wardrobe if easier.. Have fun and be yourself
Also, as a bonus through May, we are including a Coach or Apple store gift card when hired for three jobs or more so please let me know which you prefer."
okay so shes asking for nudes so Im really hesitant because I don't know if this is legit she gave me the web site to look up the modeling management agency that she works for " http://elitemodel.fr/ " so I looked at it .. it looks legit

Not sure if you guys want to keep such an old thread alive... but just thought of adding my 2 cents"
As someone once said: I've never fooled anyone, I let people fool themselves. No one gets fooled without their consent. And when we allow others to fool us, it's often due to our greed, or being desperate.
If you believe someone can offer you the world on a silver tray, for free, then it's your own problem. Don't blame anyone but yourself. People are looking for opportunities and dreaming of big things. Crooks and scammers feed on our greed. Wanting so much, without giving much back, or working hard for it. If you want Elite, or any other Top agency to contact you, then work on creating a good portfolio, then go ahead, contact them and send your portfolio. Logging on your Skype account won't get you Elite!
MM will not get you far. It can only help you build a portfolio so you can take it to next level. Again: YOU TAKE IT. No one will come here and ask for it. This goes for models and photographers (MAU, Stylists, etc) alike.
You KNEW this was fishy, weird and unrealistic. But you wanted to believe it any way.

It effectively corrects the premature aging of the skin while boosting collagen production. It also heals years of age old spots and prevents the skin from discoloration by improving Melasma. This reduces the puffiness beneath the eyes too, which results in lightening of dark circles. Thus your skin stays tight and firm for all day long.

It is one of the best anti aging products which has been capable to make lines smooth without a single aging scar on my face. You too must try it out as I did to let people confuse your real age with you beautiful skin.

A Productivity Paradox --Dickeson
The glib answer of economists is: "Retain your personnel and increase sales and marketing." Yeah! Easy for the economists to say, but they haven't had to hit the pavement and find other work, have they?
So what is the honest answer to increasing productivity? Throw shoes in the machines? No, that didn't work and won't work. Human capacity will continue to increase. The need for certain skills will continue to decrease. We'll continuously be in an over-capacity condition. We can't eliminate people as quickly as we can eliminate the need for people.
Can we just call a halt to improvement? Stop generating the over-capacity? No. In an economy where price is competitive we must constantly improve or die. If we don't continuously improve our efficiency, our competitor will, and we'll be lost in the dust.
Those who guess right on the demand for certain products, buy the appropriate equipment and constantly reduce prices win the survival race. At the same time, those winners constantly and carefully trim away at staffing and fight to increase market share. That's the winning path. It takes good information, keen intuition and lots of luck.
Unfortunately we're not all equally gifted, positioned or lucky enough to make it into that winner's circle. All men (and women) are NOT created equal in talent, position or good fortune.
Our choice of information has been deceptive. We know that Budgeted Hourly Rates (BHRs) are false and misleading. Yet everyone in the plant sort of believes in them. "Drink the Kool-Aid," says the preacher, "and we'll meet in Heaven." "Buy the new machine," says the sales rep, "and it'll reduce your costs 40 percent." What the rep didn't say was, "Buy the new machine and you can fire three people," even though that was what he meant. We expect suppliers to deceive us because they use the same words to create a never-never-land that we use to deceive ourselves.

Submitted to: Transactions of the ASAE
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 4/1/1999
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Efficient water management is rapidly becoming more important in the arid southwest as water costs and constraints on water availability increase. For efficient management of irrigation water for the short-season (early maturity) cotton produced in the region, better information is needed about the crop's water use requirements. Studies were conducted to determine the ewater use requirements for the short-season cotton. This information was then used to derive and test three crop water use curves to predict daily water use. The results indicated that the three curves closely predicted the actual daily cotton water use determined in the field. The crop curves can be used within a computerized irrigation scheduling program to assist farmers and consultants in achieving efficient water management for the short-season cotton.
Technical Abstract: Basal crop coefficients (Kcb) are used to predict crop evapotranspiration. Field studies were conducted in central Arizona to derive and test three time-based Kcb curves for an early maturity upland cotton. The cotton evapotranspiration (ETc) rates were determined from soil water depletion measurements made during small basin studies for the cotton grown under well-watered conditions in 1993 and 1994. Values for Kcb were developed with the ETc data and a grass-reference evapotranspiration (ETo). The resulting Kcb data were used to derive two Kcb polynomial curves indexed by days past planting (DPP) and cumulative growing degree days (CGDD). A third curve was derived from the data using the FAO-24 "straight-line" method. The curves were tested by comparing predicted ETc rates to soil water balance (SWB) ETc rates determined for the cotton in large basins. Weighted mean bias error (MBE) and mean absolute error (MAE) analyses indicated that tthe three curves predicted ETc for the large basins about equally well. Positive and negative biases in ETc rates tended to balance over the season, resulting in small values for MBE (-0.40 to 0.47 mm/d). Computed over all basins in a given year, the relative MBE (i.e., the MBE divided by the mean SWB ETc rate) for the curves varied between plus or minus 2%. The MAE (0.58 to 1.04 mm/d) and the relative MAE (8 to 14%) indicated that the accuracy of the predicted ETc was good for all three curves. When used in irrigation management procedures for the early-maturing cotton, any of the three Kcb curves presented should result in reliable estimates of ETc for climatic conditions and planting dates similar to those for these studies.

Volunteers Clean-Up Local Creeks
FRANKLIN COUNTY, PA - A rusted piece of metal, bags of discarded clothes and glass were just some of the things volunteers picked up along the Conococheague Creek Saturday morning. The clean-up was an annual event put on by state Senator Richard Alloway and two non-profit organizations, Conococheague Watershed Alliance and the Antietam Watershed Association.
According to Senator Alloway, this is the third year for the event, and even though the streams seem cleaner, Senator Alloway says what he has seen over the years concerns him.
"Last year we actually pulled out a tire that was the biggest tire I've ever seen in my life," says Senator Alloway. "It was actually taller than me," he says.
About 30 volunteers picked up trash along the Conocochegue Greenway Trail in Chambersburg; some volunteers even went into to creek.
Jim Golden was one of the volunteers. Golden was fighting to remove what looked like a part of a car from the creek, along with other rusted metal along the banks. Golden brought his daughter along with him for the clean-up hoping she would learn to be a better care-taker of the environment.
"I think they don't know any better," says Golden, a reference to the people who have left trash along the creek. "A normal person wouldn't discard clothes or plastic in [the creek], he says."
According to Senator Alloway, there is a fine and potential jail time if someone is caught littering, but since it's very hard to enforce the rule, the senator and members of the Conococheague Watershed Alliance are encouraging people to think of the consequences, like fish dying from pollutants in creeks.
"If you're putting chemicals on your lawn, make sure you do it in the appropriate manner and not add pollutants that will eventually run-off into the streams and flow into the Potomac and affects the ocean as well," says Bob Moore with the Conococheague Watershed Alliance.
Organizers say the non-profit is one of the groups that work to protect local creeks. If you would like more information on the Conococheague Watershed Alliance, click here.

Larry Echohawk, the Interior Department's new assistant secretary of Indian affairs, was overcome with emotion this September when he talked about the long, ugly history between Native tribes and the U.S. government. Speaking at a Native American summit in Utah, Echohawk, a member of the Pawnee Nation, decried these "dark chapters" of the country's story. He was especially hard on the U.S. Supreme Court, because it gave Congress the legal justification to gut treaties and rob tribes of 140,000 square miles of land between 1887 to 1934.
According to many in Indian Country, the Supreme Court is still at it. Just weeks after he assumed his new job in May, Echohawk held a series of meetings about the court's February 2009 ruling in Carcieri v. Salazar. The ruling has utterly shaken the relationship between tribes, the federal government and states, and flies in the face of 75 years of Interior Department practice.
Specifically, the ruling states that the Bureau of Indian Affairs cannot take 31 acres into trust on behalf of the Narragansett Tribe of Rhode Island, which wanted to build tribal housing on the land. But in a broader interpretation, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot take land into trust for any tribe recognized after 1934, when Congress passed the Indian Reorganization Act. Ultimately, it raises questions over whether tribes recognized since1934 can receive any of the benefits of the reorganization act. And those benefits are key: They include federal health care and education programs and the ability to enter into legal contracts.
As Scott Quinn, director of planning with the Karuk Tribe in California, puts it, the decision could have "dire consequences."
Among the 50 to 100 tribes likely to be affected are Washington's Stillaguamish Tribe, the Burns Paiute Tribe of Oregon, Arizona's Southern San Juan Paiute Tribe and the Death Valley Timbi-Sha Tribe in California. The question is complicated because there is no complete list of Indian tribes under federal jurisdiction in 1934, and no one, including the Interior Department, is eager to tackle the complicated task of trying to create one. A total of 174 tribes accepted the reorganization act in 1934; 78 tribes rejected it. That leaves 310 tribes unaccounted for.
However, everyone agrees that if the ruling is allowed to stand, litigation is sure to follow. States could challenge all kinds of tribal activities, and the affected tribes be forced to defend not only economic development projects, such as casinos, but also their sovereignty.
Particularly in the West, lands within the boundaries of a reservation may be "checkerboarded," with many entities holding title to different parcels, including tribes, individual Indians, non-Indian individuals and groups, the state, the county and the federal government. Tribes can consolidate their reservations by buying these parcels of land and asking the federal government to take them into trust. In the process, they can solve some of the jurisdictional issues that plague states and tribes alike.
But some state and local interests see Carcieri as an opportunity to re-examine the land-into-trust principle. Colorado's John Suthers and Utah's Mark L. Shurtleff, both Republicans, were among 17 state attorneys general who sent a letter to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs requesting that it delay any action to "fix" the decision. They wrote, "Taking land into trust deprives the local units of government and the state of the ability to tax the land and calls into question the power of state and local government to enforce civil and criminal laws on the land."
Gambling opponents have welcomed the ruling as the death knell for the expansion of Indian gaming, which requires the Interior Department to take land into trust. There are currently 301 gaming tribes in the U.S., almost half of them in the West. Earnings nationwide were $26.5 billion in 2007. The National Association Against Legalized Gambling says that the social costs of gambling exceed the benefits at a ratio of three to one, and that gambling increases crime and invites corruption. Executive director Les Burnell says that over the last 20 years –– since Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which permitted gaming on Indian lands –– "there has been a huge push for off-reservation casinos for newly recognized tribes bankrolled by gambling interests."
But gambling is not the real issue, according to tribal leaders. Quinn says the ruling will have "huge implication for tribes if they are not able to put land into trust for economic development. Our tribe in particular has a number of fee-to-trust applications outstanding because we are trying to consolidate our land holdings."
Currently, a "fix" –– sponsored in the Senate by North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan, D, and in the House by Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, R. –– has been introduced in Congress. The legislation would amend the reorganization act to reflect Interior's longtime practice of taking land into trust for any federally recognized tribe, no matter when that tribe came under federal jurisdiction. If passed, the bill would thus negate the high court's decision.
W. Ron Allen, chairman of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe in Washington and a board member of the National Congress of American Indians, told the Senate committee back in May, "We need to fix this thing and fix it quickly." But with health care and climate-change legislation taking precedence over everything else in Congress this fall, Indian tribes and states alike could be in for a long, rough ride.

HIGH COUNTRY NEWS: Why should the federal government not be responsible for prosecuting felonies in Indian Country?
KEVIN WASHBURN: They shouldn't be responsible in the way they are now because they're not very good at it. The FBI and U.S. attorneys are good at prosecuting white-collar crime and big cases. They're not so good at prosecuting street crimes such as assault, domestic violence and sex offenses.
But it's deeper than that. In the U.S., crime is thought to be a local concern. Usually, the feds are only brought in on things that affect the national interest. We don't bring them in for routine local offenses.
(Federal prosecution of local crime) is inconsistent with our general notions of American justice. For example, we have a jury because the community is supposed to be involved in the prosecution of crime. When a jury of your peers tells you that you're guilty, that hits home in a much more serious way than if strangers do it.
And we just don't have that in Indian Country cases because the courthouses are often 100, 200, 300 miles from where the offense occurred. Imagine the victim who has to testify in court in Phoenix but lives on the northern part of the Navajo Reservation. She may be facing a six-hour drive in a rust trap of a car in extreme weather.
We see this pattern over and over in the West. In Colorado, the Southern Ute Tribe's cases are tried in Denver ... several hundred miles away.
HCN: What other factors make federal jurisdiction over Indian Country felonies a problem?
WASHBURN: Another cultural problem is that federal agents haven't always been beloved on Indian reservations, and tribes have long memories. That's one of the beauties of oral history is that the memories stay very fresh. The FBI agents and federal prosecutors are in some respects the direct descendents of the cavalry officers who committed atrocities on Indian reservations in the last century and the century before that.
So when a federal agent shows up and says, "I work for the federal government and I'm here to help you," people are very skeptical. One outcome of that distrust is that sometimes witnesses don't want to cooperate with federal agents. The worst situation is in child sexual offense cases, which a lot of these cases are. When an 8-year-old girl reports an offense, it's a federal felony that draws a federal investigation. Federal agents come on the reservation to get involved in local affairs. That can be controversial. One ramification is that sometimes the community turns against the girl for bringing the feds onto the reservation. That happens only because of the dynamics of the system we've created.
HCN: How did the federal government come to have this responsibility in Indian Country?
WASHBURN: Until about 1885, Indian nations dealt with criminal offenses on the reservation. But in the 1880s, the federal government was trying to ensure Indians stayed on reservations. The U.S. had some ways of exercising power on reservations: A lot of the treaties called for commodities or other goods and services to be paid to the tribe. One way that Indian Affairs controlled reservations was by deciding who would help distribute those goods. That was a carrot approach. But the government didn't have a stick. There was nothing that they could really do to tribal citizens who refused to cooperate with the government.
In the 1880s, a case called ex parte Crow Dog went to the Supreme Court. The court said the feds didn't have jurisdiction over crimes committed on Indian reservations.
Congress then acted to create federal criminal jurisdiction on reservations. The Major Crimes Act gave the feds jurisdiction over eight so-called major crimes. There are now over 30 crimes covered by the act, and we just added another two years ago.
HCN: What was the effect?
WASHBURN: Over the last century, we have continuously displaced tribal justice systems. By taking authority over the eight major crimes, the federal government caused many tribal systems to atrophy. And they atrophied more and more, so that now the feds are doing a significant amount of it, but not doing that great of a job. While Congress could give the U.S. attorney's office this power, it couldn't make the office really love the work or want to do it.
HCN: What was Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe and what effect did it have?
WASHBURN: In 1978, the Supreme Court said tribes don't have jurisdiction over non-Indians on Indian reservations.
HCN: They had jurisdiction (over non-Indians on the reservations) before then?
WASHBURN: Yes. During that century they still had jurisdiction. Congress acted to give the feds jurisdiction, but it didn't take away tribal jurisdiction. Tribes never negotiated that away in treaties. The Suquamish Reservation was having their festival, and two non-Indians were arrested, one for drunk driving and one for assaulting a police officer. The Supreme Court said summarily that the tribes don't have jurisdiction over non-Indians, and that was news to the tribes because they had routinely exercised jurisdiction. Suddenly, jurisdiction is no longer territorial and geographical, but it's a question of race or tribal membership of the perpetrator and/or the victim. That limited tribes' authority dramatically.
HCN: Would it be correct to say that's one of the reasons there's so much drug trafficking on Indian reservations?
WASHBURN:In a sense. Some people perceive that reservations are lawless places. They are kind of lawless because people are unclear about jurisdiction. State law enforcement officials often think, "Aw, that's the feds' problem. That's on an Indian reservation." Or, "That's the tribe's problem." (Thanks to a 1950s law, some states have jurisdiction over all crimes on Indian reservations.)
HCN: Could you explain the effects on tribal sovereignty and tribal self-determination? What are the effects on surrounding communities, and would changing the system benefit the wider community?
WASHBURN: Let me start with the last part first. One of the things suggested in pending legislation is cross-deputization of everyone involved in law enforcement in Indian Country. If state officers get cross-deputized by tribal authorities, and tribal officers get cross-deputized by county or state authorities, then suddenly it doesn't matter which cop pulls up to the scene of a crime. Either can handle it.
Federal police officers and state police officers tend to be OK with this. It's only when you get into the political realms that there are disputes. Cooperation is one of the things (Sen. Byron) Dorgan, (D-N.D., chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee) suggested in his concept paper for an Indian Country crime bill. (Sen. Dorgan's concept paper will form the basis of legislation on law enforcement in Indian Country expected to be introduced next year.)
Another thing he suggested is that we do a better job of collecting data. Can we figure out where the crimes occurred so we'll have a better sense of whether the reservation communities are really worse than nearby communities? The data isn't good enough to be able to determine that because no one keeps track of exactly (where a crime occurred).
So now the self-determination question. Most everything that Congress has done in the past 30 years has been designed to further tribal self-government. The Bureau of Indian Affairs no longer runs the schools on Indian reservations. Many tribes now run their own hospital instead of the Indian Health Service. So we've had dramatic improvements in schools and in health care and many other areas in which tribal self-determination has been pursued.
Ironically, we have not pursued self-determination in criminal justice. I would argue that criminal justice is the most important place for self-determination because a criminal code and the processes we use for enforcing that code are key places where communities define themselves.
When you decide this is what is illegal in your community, you're saying, "This is who we are as a community." That's key to self-determination. In our criminal codes, we order our moral values and say, "If you violate these moral values, that violation is so serious that we're going to put you in jail." There's no stronger way to protect your moral code. That is one of the things we've denied Indian tribes. Congress or the courts are telling tribes what their values are and how they must define themselves. My argument is we've got self-determination in the environmental laws and health care and education, but self-determination as to crime is far more key - far more important than any of those things - if self-determination is the process of defining a community and letting a community say who it is.
When I say self-determination, I don't mean we necessarily need to restore tribal criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians. Self-determination is a community defining for its internal community how people deal with one another. Tribes don't necessarily need jurisdiction over non-Indians.
Most crimes are matters for the local community. From a good-government standpoint, it's just not sensible to have a foreign community, the federal government, trying reservation crimes. We've taken some of the most valuable tools to address serious problems on Indian reservations away from tribal leaders.

Elmer Carroll Executed by State
BRADFORD COUNTY - A mom is now relieved that her child's convicted killer has been executed by the state.
Department of Corrections officials say 56 year old Elmer Carroll raped and strangled and killed 10 year Christine McGowan in 1990.
The lethal injection proecess started shortly after 6'clock and lasted for 11 mintues.
Carroll was convicted in 1990 for the killing Christine in her home in Apopka.
Corrections officials say the process ran smoothly.
"Yeah it was pretty simple straightforward it happened very well everything went well so unfortunately no statement from the inmate," Ann Howard, Florida Department of Corrections said.
Christine's mom gave a written statement saying "Thank you to all that have worked so hard and justice for all, namely for Christine McGowan, Rest In Peace."

another DWV review... please!
1 Attachment(s)
I'm remodeling a bath/laundry area in an old existing detatched building.
All lines will be ABS at 1/4" per foot. The back-to-back LAV's will have a double wye connection. Cleanouts are not shown but will be added.
I hope the pic isn't too hard to see.
Please let me know if there is a better way.:)
I've got a few specific questions...
1. I know the sink and washer should have their own vents, but can the main stack vent the utility sink and washer since the run is only 5'? I'd rather not hack the existing double 2x4 top plate out for a vent if the stack can do the job. Maybe I could just add an AAV to the sink if necessary?
2.Does the wc need a combo where it attaches the stack, or should I use a sanitary tee since it is also used to drain the (vented) LAV?
Thanks for any feedback!
area location would help, relation plumbing code. under some you may be ok others not. sanitary tee on the toilet drop.
Thanks for the reply
I'm in California. Is the code issue the laundry sink wet vent?
I believe wet vents are allowed for "bath groups only" but I don't see how this would function any different.
199 Attachment(s)
I think you're UPC- TO answer your questions:
1.You can re-vent back to the stack or stack separate trap arms for each fixture as long as they're less then 5ft
Can not use AAV if a vent thru roof is possible
2. Tee is fine but your lav line is now considered the vent for the wc. So it must be 2" underslab as well as through the roof.
Use a "fixture cross" or stack tees for back to back fixtures- not crosses
Hmmm...didn't think of two separate drain lines for the washer and sink.
Guess that's a way to meet code but I still don't see what's wrong with wet venting a washer that is rarely used.

Ok, if you want to read a book you can't put down, read Girl, Stolen. I read this book in two sittings and only to stopped for a break when my husband insisted he was hungry and we needed to eat. Cheynne Wilder is sixteen-years-old and blind. She is also very sick with pneumonia. On the way back from the doctor's, her mother stopped to pick up a perscription for her. While Cheyenne was sleeping in the back seat her mother's car was stolen-with Cheyenne in it! Although Griffen, her kidnapper, only wanted to steal a car and was shocked to see a person in the back seat, he doesn't let her go. Griffen brings Cheyenne to his father's house deep in the woods and things go from bad to worse. How can Cheyenne escape if she can't see? And when Griffen's father discovers Cheyenne is the daughter of the president of Nike his plans for a ransom seem to put Cheyenne even more at risk. This was really a book that I couldn't put down. I was really frightened for Cheyenne and amazingly, felt empathy for Griffen her initial kidnapper. If you want to read a fairly short book that will keep your interest from page one, read Girl, Stolen!

Fondation Mérieux is working to strengthen capacities for diagnosing hemorrhagic fevers in West Africa through several initiatives:
Analyzing suspected Ebola specimens at the P4 Jean Mérieux-Inserm laboratory
International scientific partnerships to increase testing capacities
Analyzing suspected Ebola specimens at the P4 Jean Mérieux-Inserm laboratory
Fondation Mérieux is helping affected countries that are unable to perform diagnostic testing locally. The foundation initiated a system to rapidly test potential Ebola specimens at the P4 Jean Mérieux-Inserm laboratory in Lyon. It was in this laboratory that the Ebola virus responsible for the epidemic was first confirmed and characterized by Institut Pasteur Lyon in late March, 2014.
The system was established with RESAOLAB* member countries, Institut Pasteur and Inserm.
Through RESAOLAB, Fondation Mérieux has offered secure sample kits with user guides to West African countries: the RESAOLAB countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo) as well as Cameroun and Guinea-Bissau.
Transportation to the P4 Jean Mérieux laboratory is pre-paid by Fondation Mérieux.
A secure system for shipping the samples, coordinated by Bioport, enables countries to test samples quickly and reassure the public when a new case is suspected.
Several countries have already benefited from this system. To date, all of the samples have tested negative.
Providing expertise in West Africa
Prof. Dominique Peyramond, member of Fondation Mérieux's board of directors and a specialist in infectious and tropical disease at the Croix Rousse hospital (Lyon, France) and Dr. Aboubacar Sidiki Diakité, president of the National Health Crisis Committee of Guinea and president of Guinea's National RESAOLAB Committee, ran a workshop on Ebola in Burkina Faso as part of the Clinical Biology Days held in Ouagadougou, July 21-23.
Following an assessment visit last May, the virologist Dr. Joseph Fair has been conducting a mission for Fondation Mérieux since August, focused on strengthening diagnostic capacities for Ebola in Sierra Leone. Dr. Fair has been at the Kenema hospital since the beginning of the outbreak and advises the Minister of Health of Sierra Leone.
At the request of the Guinean Minister of Health, experts specialized in working in biosecurity level 4 labs (BSL4) have been sent to Guinea to train local biologists.
Dr. Jean-Louis Machuron, RESAOLAB program coordinator arrived in Guinea at the end of August to advise the Ministry of Health and its National Health Crisis Committee and conduct training programs. He was joined by Dr. Christophe Peyrefitte, a virologist specialized in hemorrhagic fevers who works with the P4 Jean Mérieux-Inserm laboratory.
The training courses and audit of the equipment and practices of laboratories involved in the response to the epidemic began in September.
Training in biosecurity and hemorrhagic fevers
At the start of the epidemic, Fondation Mérieux and its RESAOLAB partners developed training courses adapted to the crisis.
Since the beginning of July, courses are being deployed in the RESAOLAB network.
They cover:
hemorrhagic fevers, including Ebola,
logistics of managing samples,
specific techniques for handling samples,
destruction or conservation of samples,
prevention measures and protecting laboratory personnel/
Over 500 laboratory professionals have already received training in Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal. Training courses for trainers have been held in Togo, Niger and in Guinea.
International scientific partnerships to increase testing capacities
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed September 12th with Institut Pasteur for the development of joint projects to address the Ebola epidemic and other hemorrhagic fevers.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
All is well in the world after the Patriots won Sunday night.
My friend who happens to be a Jets fan might disagree (just a hunch based on the number of expletive-ridden texts he sent me over the course of the second half), but as far as I'm concerned, I have never had a more quintessentially American moment than enjoying a delicious slice of apple pie after a big Patriots win over the Jets.
But this isn't just about the Patriots, this is my expert NFL Power Rankings after ten weeks of football!
We have three unexpected news items to discuss from Sunday: Chris Johnson's breakout, the NFC West's Sunday dominance, and, um, let's see, the third one, uh…the EPA!
Oops. Last week's ranking in parentheses.
Without further ado, the rank and file of the NFL's Tweedledums and Tweedledees through Week 10:
With a two-game lead in the "Suck for Luck" sweepstakes, it looks like the Colts will be able to draft best player available to replace Peyton Manning and his neck that looks like a high school metal fab project.
The Rams barely beat the Browns when a botched snap led Cleveland to shank a chip-shot field goal. You may have won, but sorry, St. Louis: do not pass Go second-to-last place, do not collect $200.
The 'Skins turned back to Rex Grossman to lead them to victory, but he threw two picks instead. I don't know whether to be excited or appalled when Dan Snyder gives up 1,001 draft picks to the Colts for Peyton Manning.
With a completion percentage under 60 and just one more career touchdown pass than career interceptions, it will always baffle me how Colt McCoy can stand to ruin such a cool name with such crappy stats.
I'm officially out on the Panthers after they failed to stop Chris Johnson and the Titans. I don't know who that's worse for: the Panthers since they're terrible, or Johnson since he is bad enough to serve as my measuring stick for bad teams.
The Chiefs let Denver romp for 244 yards rushing even when they knew the run was coming every single play. It's like they pooped in the refrigerator and ate an entire wheel of cheese – I'm not even mad, I'm just impressed.
The Dolphins won their first home game in almost a year behind a retro-Reggie Bush performance. And since he's playing well like he did at USC, it means he's probably cheating. Just remember you first heard it here at SoB.
The Vikings got so owned by the Packers on MNF, they couldn't even keep back-up quarterback Matt Flynn out of the endzone.
Blaine Gabbert broke 100 yards passing this week! I don't know if I'm more impressed by his performance or Curtis Painter of the Colts, who for the second straight week managed to get replaced by the guy who was so scared to be sacked that he ran untouched out of the back of the end zone for a safety.
John Skelton looks to assume Kevin Kolb's starting QB job with three touchdown passes to lead Arizona to a come-from-behind win. Sadly, the Cardinals can't replace Kolb's $63 million contract so easily.
The Seahawks beat the Ravens to give the NFC West a perfect 4-0 record on Sunday. If there were any time to predict the end of the world, now would be it.
Ex-Pat Albert Haynesworth made an impact with his new team by blocking a PAT and recording five tackles, two more than he had in six games with the Patriots. Unfortunately, the Bucs lost by 28, so his impact had roughly the same effect as always: none.
The Eagles blew another lead in the fourth quarter as Michael Vick went 16 for 34 with 2 INTs and a 32.8 passer rating. Maybe the Eagles should have waited for the Dream Team to become a reality before agreeing to give Vick $100 million for playing well in the preseason.
The Chargers lost again to somehow be on the verge of not winning the AFC West. How long can Norv Turner coach this team to mediocrity before getting fired? He's like the Tebow of coaches. Except he doesn't win.
Since trading for Carson Palmer, the Raiders have surged into first place in the AFC West with a win over the Chargers on Thursday night. Let's be clear: acquiring Palmer and being in first are not correlated. I thought they would have been mutually exclusive.
Tim Tebow won despite completing two passes in eight attempts for 69 yards. God must have a thing for beefy quarterbacks who can't throw the ball.
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three interceptions to just one touchdown while averaging 4.7 yards per attempt. Apparently his $59 million contract is not for his on-field performance, but for having to live in Buffalo.
Chris Johnson finally broke out for 130 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. Sure, it was a meaningless touchdown run set up by Matt Hasselbeck running out of bounds at the one-yard-line because Johnson is on his quarterback's fantasy team, but still.
The Bengals lost their first of four meetings with the Steelers and Ravens. You're not
in Kansas at TCU anymore, Dorothy Dalton.
It was a great day for Cowboys fans, as DeMarco Murray ran for over 100 yards and Tony Romo completed over 88 percent of his passes with fully healed ribs. That is, unless you have crush on Cowboys cheerleader Kelsi Reich.
The Jets supposed "shutdown" defense has now given up 67 points to the Patriots in two losses. Even worse, now they have to stir Bill Belichick's drink.
Apparently the Lions have no running game, as Matt Stafford threw the ball 63 times. All to Calvin Johnson.
Coach Mike Smith ordered his team to go for it in OT on 4th and inches from the Falcons' own 29, costing his team the game when they couldn't convert. Smith took full responsibility, acknowledging he probably shouldn't have been the one trying to pick up the first down.
Just when I was getting ready to buy into Houston with their ability to win without Andre Johnson and their top-ranked defense, Matt Schaub goes down for the year with a broken foot. Luckily, back-up quarterback Matt Leinart knows how to win after going 37-2 at USC. Unluckily, that was his record in beer pong.
Starting in the second half, I switched to Budweiser, flirting with the fine line between superstition and alcoholism depending on whether the Patriots won or lost. Luckily, it turned out to be a good karmic decision. I haven't stopped drinking Bud heavy since.
You couldn't have come up short in your fourth quarter comeback last week, Giants? Really, Eli? I'm so bitter.
The Ravens continue to be a total enigma after losing to the hapless Seahawks. Seriously, would a single team I rank second win so I don't have to keep rearranging the rankings each week?
Despite only 12 first downs, the Bears avenged an earlier loss at Detroit and trounced the Lions 37-13 at home by forcing six turnovers. The Lions were caught off guard when Jay Cutler asked them for the ball nicely.
In this week's awful pun, it was a Brees for Drew to continue his streak of 37 straight games with a touchdown pass.
Even after getting swept by the Ravens last week, the Steelers find themselves back in first in the AFC North behind their vaunted defense. They finally convinced Troy Polamalu to stop checking his hair for dandruff long enough to play.
The 49ers showed they are for real in beating the Giants 27-20. Everyone credits Jim Harbaugh with the turnaround, but he said, "I don't take any credit. It's these men. These mighty, strong men." Um, no comment.
A week after getting shredded for 38 points, the Packers defense showed up in a big way to hold their opponent to seven points and complement the offense's 45-point outburst. Like when Lara Croft fit the two pieces of the triangle together in Tomb Raider, the Packers now control time.
What's that? No one wants me to make obscure references to terrible movies? Duly noted.
For next week.

Only reason why I crit you is cause I got sick of seeing your wack ass shit, and I felt a little bad I was so mean to you when you first joined under different name. If you dont paint in the next 3 days I will also not crit anytihng you do, you can be led by the blind in the toy bb thread.

Better delete that vid before you get banned Herbn. Same shit happened to Nah.
And rib, i got painted shit. But its not too hot because it was my first time with the new throw, and you'd flame it none the less.
we cant post videos? the fucks that about
nah got banned for excesive video embedding, and being a fag troll piece of shit. He's still around tho, lol new name is homevideos or homemovies or someshit. He's too pussy to embed shit now tho, im actually suprised he aint post whorin it up right now...
anyways yeah, I assume your paint sucks, but at this moment I also assume it doesnt exist... sorry.
ahhhhhhhh gotcha
And it sucks cause of the new throw? what about the old throw?
I posted up the old painted throw. Cleaner than the new one but its faded at the bottom. Terrible mistake lol and rib also said that its weak so I took his advice and switched up names. I'll go over the new one tomorrow night with the new Fresh Paint I got. Don't know why I have to fucking prove it just to get some blackbook crits. But its true that I get weak crits in the toy section, but if I post in the intermediate thread, my shit will get hated on and moved over. So where does that leave me? Having to prove to someone over the internet that I actually paint. Aint that some shit?
well you really dont have to prove shit. cause we just some nigguhs on the interweb. If no one is giving you crits its probly cause you just need alot of practice. not in a bad way you just gotta do that shit over and over. And throwies gotta have finesse and natural style, which you have or you dont. I dont remember seein any of your stuff but i dont remember alot of things.
@mn nice yeah dude thats some shit. but im an e-wangstapainta, all my shits shooped. you must prove yourself worthy to get any benefits out of my greatness.

Emma and Horace is a short comic I made over the course of 6 weeks as a self-published graphic story. It was made as part of a short course in comic-making and offset lithography, so the 16-page book was planned and made 100% without a computer. It was made as an edition of 12 lithographically printed books. As well as being a tender story of the forming of a relationship, my book was an exercise in how the comic-book form can be used to reflect an interaction (or non-interaction) of two characters. I have only submitted a few snippets from the story, but they are the pages and images which I thought were the most successful.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- University of Michigan women's basketball head coach Kim Barnes Arico and the USA U18 National Team went 5-0 and defeated Canada in the gold-medal game, 104-74, to win the FIBA Americas Championship on Sunday evening (Aug. 10) at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.
Barnes Arico served as an assistant coach for the U18 team, completing her first stint with USA Basketball. She joined head coach Dawn Staley (South Carolina) and assistant coach Jeff Walz (Louisville) on the sideline.
"It's truly been an honor to be a part of this coaching staff and to be involved with USA Basketball," Barnes Arico said. "It's always been a dream to put on a USA shirt and represent your country, so to be out here with this staff, especially with someone like Dawn Staley who has been one of the best in the game -- to be surrounded by her for the last 16 days as well as these incredible athletes has been an incredible experience. I have enjoyed every second of it, and I just feel so fortunate every day to be involved in it."
The United States won its group, going 3-0 against Canada (107-76), Mexico (104-55) and El Salvador (118-50) during a three-day stretch last week (Aug. 6-8). In semifinal action on Saturday (Aug. 9), the Red, White and Blue defeated Argentina by a final of 97-51. In a rematch from the preliminary stage, USA routed Canada again, 104-74, to wrap up the gold medal on Sunday evening.
The gold medal was the USA U18 women's seventh straight and eighth overall, and the USA women are now 48-2 in FIBA Americas U18 Championship play since the event was first held in 1988.
Prior to the start of the tournament, Barnes Arico and the team participated in a training camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (July 26-Aug. 5).

Managerial Economics
posted by Kiersyn .
Can someone explain what is a cubic cost function? I'm taking a managerial economics course, but I've never taken any algebra or calculus; so I'm struggling. I'd like to grasp the purpose of what it is and then try to figure out how to do it. thanks!
A so-called cubic function is nothing else than a polynomial function of degree 3.
f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d, where a,b,c,d are fixed, but not determined constant coefficients, imposed the condition a != 0.
Wow, this definition is like greek. What is a polynomial function of degree 3? I know what a constant is and also a coefficent. But what is "imposed the condition a!=0? Can someone explain this in a simpler way that doesn't involve algebra or calculus? Thanks
Basically, the point of cubic is that you can use the cube (third power) of the number of things produced to predict the total cost of making that many things. It so happens that x^3 (x cubed) very nicely represents certain economies/not of scale in production; it "looks right".
So the whole point is that some algebra can provide a nice formula that approximates the reality of cost functions for which marginal cost (the cost of "making one more") first goes down, then goes up. And some calculus can confirm it.

What People Are Saying
Okay, I've read about composition and studied examples before, but this was outstanding. Reading the book, I was immediately able to identify some past mistakes with photos that didn't quite feel right, and returned to them and recrop them into far improved compositions. I wasn't bad at composition previously, but my successes were all often done by feel and 'rule of thirds', and all too often, RoT just wasn't feeling right for pictures – in the future, I'll be using your far superior points to make sure I get the shots I want."–- Kain

About Trey Ratcliff
Trey Ratcliff is a photographer, artist, writer and adventurer. Each day, Trey posts a new photo to his website StuckInCustoms.com, which receives over half a million monthly page views. Trey has over 10 million social media followers via Google+, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter.
Trey is best known as a pioneer in HDR photography. Chris Anderson from TED called Trey a "pioneer of HDR photography." HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, a technique whereby multiple levels of light are captured for a particular scene and then combined into a single photograph. The resulting images are richly detailed and more closely resemble what you recall of the scene in your mind.
Trey's photo, Fourth on Lake Austin, was the first HDR photograph to hang in the Smithsonian. He has been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOXand the BBC, and his photos have accumulated about 1 billion views. His best-selling book, "A World in HDR" sold out on Amazon in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Using a unique teaching style based on curiosity and discovery, Trey has taught hundreds of thousands of people the secrets to his photography techniques.
Trey grew up blind in one eye, which changed the way he has come to experience and visually map the world. This, combined with his degree in computer science and math, has shaped his unique, algorithm-like, approach to capturing a scene that evokes more palpable memories.
Trey is also a successful entrepreneur. His endeavors include popular iOS and Android apps such as 100CamerasIn1, Stuck On Earth and Photo Voyages. In addition he launched Flatbooks.com, which is a rapidly growing eBook publisher.

Indefinite integration problem on ArcTanh(f(Cos))
I'm integrating Sin[t] / (1 + k Cos[2t]) , over 0 < k < 1, using Mathematica 4.1. I'm plotting spot values k=0.1, 0.8, 0.95 over 0
< t < 10.
This represents the acceleration of a charged particle in an alternating electric field, where k represents a particular modulation
of its effective inertia. Although the velocity plots (the integral dt) look fine (symmetrical about zero), the plots for position
(integrating velocity dt) are clearly wrong; I get a massive expression (about 20 lines!) which will not differentiate successfully
back to the original velocity expression, and they are decidedly asymmetrical about zero. The position plot ought to look like a
sinewave as k->0, but there's no resemblance.

On February 2001, the Philippine Navy (and the Armed Forces of thePhilippines) was rocked by a leadership crisis when the Philippine Marines (PMAR)demanded the relief of the Flag-Officer-In-Command, Rear Admiral Guillermo Wong(Pazzibugan, 2001). The crisis was triggered by the berating of the Marines by RAdmWong for alleged irregularities in the procurement of P3.8 million worth of KevlarHelmets (Pablo, 2001). In the events that followed, the Marines prevailed and RAdmWong was stripped of his command and was 'promoted' to an ambassadorial post. Thecrisis, while it was eventually resolved peacefully, exposed a previously unseen face ofthe Navy—the face of CORRUPTION.
