DériveAdded February 27th 2006 @ 12:21 am
Among the various situationist methods is the dérive [literally: 'drifting'], a technique of transient passage through varied ambiances. In a dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.
One can dérive alone, but all indications are that the most fruitful numerical arrangement consists of several small groups of two or three people who have reached the same awakening of consciousness, since the cross-checking of these different groups' impressions makes it possible to arrive at objective conclusions.

Undertake a dérive, and report your objective conclusions to your fellow players.

In Maori culture, when you formally introduce yourself in a meeting house it is called a "Mihi". You tell people your canoe, tribe, sub-tribe and family, but you ALSO identify specific geological features to which you "belong". For example, "your" lake, mountain, river, forest etc.
Chose at least three geographical features that you consider "yours". Document them.

Go on a walking journey and every fifteen feet draw a chalk arrow in the direction you're going. At the end of the trip, leave a big pile of chalk so a stranger can continue your journey.
Walk a short route alone, then send a collaborator the last segment of your trip so that they can pick up where you left off. You may complete this in separate cities by using more generic instructions (e.g. walk three blocks, then turn left). Finally, walk the complete route you and your collaborators have created.

Find a building which is in active use. Explore it thoroughly and get to know its secrets.
Politely talking your way into the heart of the building is an excellent way to understand its psychogeography, and see how it affects those who occupy it. Your interactions with the building's owners and inhabitants (employees, residents, etc) are to be strictly positive; recruiting the authorities as guides is a far, far better thing than being ejected by them.
Completing this task in proper exploring attire, which may include such accoutrements as a waistcoat or a monocle, will likely result in additional votes.

Future is releasing something new that will likely redefine rap as much as he first did with his alien style two years ago. He refuses to choose between singing and bleating or rapping and groaning and that refusal has brought him to new planes of robot rap existence. Here's one version of his song "Rock Star."

Fox Sports Australia has co-opted multicultural free-to-air TV broadcaster SBS in the new $160 million deal for soccer coverage in an attempt to drive pay TV subscriber growth.
Fox Sports will retain live coverage of all A-League games, while SBS will also telecast live Friday night matches in a new four-year broadcast rights deal with Football Federation Australia starting in July.
SBS will also show on a one-hour delay all A-League finals matches plus Socceroos World Cup qualifiers.
"The idea is to give the public a look on Friday nights what's going on," Fox Sports chief executive
Fox Sports has been under financial pressure after a softening of pay TV carrier Foxtel's subscriber growth. Fox Sports' subscriber revenues grew only 2 per cent in the 2012 financial year, while earnings declined 2 per cent.
Mr Delany said
The deal consists of $148 million in cash plus $12 million in marketing and promotional support from Foxtel. It is believed Fox Sports will pay almost $30 million in cash a year and SBS about $6 million to $7 million in cash.
"Of course, we would like to have more but we are happy with the amount," Mr Lowy said.
The combined annual payment is almost double what Fox Sports is paying under its seven-year contract that began in 2005.
Mr Delany said the talks had been "tense" and that Fox Sports' deal had essentially been finalised about three weeks ago.
It is understood the federal government took several weeks to ensure SBS's commitments would comply with the new sports anti-siphoning legislation, which is yet to be re-introduced to the Senate.
Communications Minister
"This gives every Australian the chance to watch their football heroes on the platform of their choice," Senator Conroy said.
While Fox Sports previously owned all digital rights, under the new terms the FFA can show live on digital platforms the Friday night games plus the finals and World Cup qualifiers. The FFA can replay on digital platforms all other games on a 24-hour delay.

Previous Article / Next Article
Patterns of challenging behavior have long been associated with the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD.) Anyone with experience with such children has likely observed problems with toileting, sleep, excessive activity levels, self-stimulatory or stereotypic movements (e.g., rocking, hand flapping), and more serious behaviors such as aggression towards others (e.g., hitting, kicking), destruction of materials and the physical environment, and self-injury (e.g., hand biting, head hitting and banging). Consider Randall*, a 7-year-old student labeled as having an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Randall has been diagnosed as also having severe intellectual disabilities, and does not exhibit any functional verbal communication. He exhibits a variety of challenging behaviors, including forcefully smacking the backs of his hands on table edges, dropping to his knees on hard floors, and a variety of aggressive behaviors such as hitting, pinching, and scratching others. He spends most of his time in a self-contained classroom for students with disabilities, working on a variety of pre-academic and functional skill training activities (e.g., toileting, dressing, communication skills). Such behaviors can have a variety of negative physical, social, educational, and economic consequences. They can result in significant pain, injury, and emotional distress for children and families, and for teachers providing support to them. Participation in schools, residential programs, and other community settings may be jeopardized and there is an increased risk of readmission to public residential facilities. Providing necessary support results in greatly increased costs (e.g., $100,000 or more per year for persons with severe self-injury [NIH, 1991]). Such behaviors may place children with ASD at greater risk for abusive treatment by support staff. It is clear that challenging behavior is frequently exhibited by children with ASD, and that without intervention they are at much greater risk for a variety of negative outcomes.
The two primary intervention approaches for such behaviors have been behavioral intervention and the administration of psychotropic medications; this article focuses on the former. For many years behavioral strategies predominantly focused upon reinforcement of appropriate behaviors and punishment or extinction for challenging behaviors. In recent years, concerns with such procedures have led to a more positively oriented and comprehensive approach, typically referred to as positive behavioral support (PBS). This approach includes a broader perspective on outcomes, an emphasis on careful functional assessment as a basis for selecting and implementing intervention strategies, comprehensive programs involving multiple components, and consideration of needed skills and systems that need to be in place to support students (e.g., Koegel, Koegel, & Dunlap, 1996).
PBS has its roots in the field of applied behavior analysis. However, along with specific and important reductions in the frequency of challenging behavior, PBS approaches also emphasize that behavior change should result in broader positive changes in educational and community settings for students receiving support. This includes where they spend their time (e.g., more inclusive vs. more segregated classrooms), with whom they spend their time (e.g., more time with typical peers vs. paid support staff), and what they spend their time doing (e.g., engaged in more typical educational, domestic, leisure, and community activities). In thinking about Randall's situation described above, it would be critical to achieve reductions in his problem behavior, but if that is not accompanied by broader changes in what Randall is doing, where he's doing it, and with whom, we will not have done the best we can by him.
A seminal research report by Iwata et al. (1982) is credited with sparking a resurgence of attention to the need for conducting systematic analyses as a basis for implementing interventions. Iwata et al. collected data on the occurrence of self-injurious behavior (SIB) of persons with developmental disabilities while systematically manipulating various environ- mental conditions. These functional analysis manipulations attempted to determine the reinforcement contingencies that were responsible for maintaining the SIB. Since the publication of the Iwata et al. report there has been an increasing frequency of pretreatment experimental and nonexperimental analyses (collectively known as functional assessments) reported in the literature, as well as an increase in the implementation of successful treatment strategies based on such analyses (Johnston & O'Neill, 2001). The success of such approaches led a National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference panel to recommend that interventions for severe challenging behaviors be based on pretreatment assessments (NIH, 1991).
In recent years a number of states have adopted regulations that explicitly call for a functional assessment to be conducted prior to significant behavioral intervention. Along with state level standards, the last two enacted versions of the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) explicitly mandated that a functional assessment be done in situations involving serious challenging behaviors. Conducting a functional assessment of challenging behaviors prior to intervention has become an expected professional standard (O'Neill et al., 1997).
Coming back to Randall, school consultants and staff working with him conducted functional assessment interviews, and also conducted structured functional analysis manipulations in his classroom setting. These sessions involved systematically responding in various ways to Randall's challenging behavior to determine what antecedent and consequence events were setting off and maintaining it. The results indicated that the vast majority of his challenging behavior was motivated by escaping and/or avoiding when he was asked to complete various pre-academic activities. This assessment provided a solid foundation for identifying intervention strategies.
It is clear that students with complex histories of challenging behavior require a comprehensive approach including (1) responding to broader setting events such as sleep, diet, medication or social interaction issues (e.g., making sure a child has breakfast before coming to school); (2) more immediate antecedent strategies (e.g., changes in levels of task difficulty); (3) strategies to teach students more appropriate alternative behaviors (e.g., teaching a child to sign "break" when frustrated with a task or activity); and, (4) providing reinforcing outcomes for appropriate behavior (e.g., honoring requests for breaks, providing preferred activities contingent on task completion), minimizing or preventing reinforcement for challenging behavior (e.g., not allowing a child to escape a nonpreferred task), and, in some cases, providing appropriate punishing events contingent on challenging behavior (e.g., blocking aggressive hitting).
In Randall's case, assessment data indicated that he frequently was allowed to stay up very late at night, increasing problem behavior on subsequent days. Classroom staff worked with Randall's parents to implement an earlier bedtime routine. Classroom staff also modified curricular activities to more gradually lead to the eventual desired performance (e.g., providing easier tracing activities prior to moving on to more difficult printing activities). They began to provide Randall with choices about which academic or functional skill activities he would work on during a given period. A communication disorders specialist began to teach Randall some basic sign language to communicate his wants and needs in difficult situations (e.g., signing "break," "help"). Randall was provided with some graphic picture cards signifying "break" and "help", and received training in how to use those in situations likely to evoke challenging behavior. Classroom staff frequently and consistently provided desired outcomes when Randall exhibited appropriate communicative behavior (e.g., pointing to his "break" card), and provided breaks and preferred activities contingent on periods of problem-free task completion. Staff attempted to minimize or prevent reinforcement for problem behavior by attempting to keep him engaged in task activities. Even if Randall did escape task activities for a brief period, he was redirected to complete them as soon as possible. This comprehensive approach to Randall's situation produced reductions in problem behavior and an increased frequency of appropriate communicative behavior and engagement in desired tasks and activities (O'Neill & Sweetland-Baker, 2001).
We need to think about the broader systems issues that need to be addressed to enable school personnel to support a broad range of students. Support may come either from within the building, or from external resources such as district consultants, but requires some person or persons with significant behavioral expertise who can take the lead in conducting assessments and helping to develop intervention strategies (Sugai et al., 2000). Such schoolwide efforts include (1) strategies for all students in a school as a whole; (2) group strategies for the smaller portion of students at-risk for more significant challenging behavior; and (3) strategies for those requiring more intensive individualized support (e.g., students such as Randall labeled as having ASD exhibiting severe challenging behavior).
In a recent review, Horner et al. (2002) concluded that the literature does not identify any types of behavioral support interventions that are uniquely effective with children with Autism. Providing support for students requiring intensive individualized strategies is best accomplished in a broader schoolwide context. Schoolwide efforts typically involve team-based approaches which should include (1) personnel familiar with the student, including teachers, paraprofessionals, parents/family members, and in appropriate cases, the student him/herself; (2) administrative personnel who can make decisions about resource allocation; and, (3) personnel with behavioral expertise who can conduct functional assessments and develop and implement behavioral support plans. Ideally, someone on the team would also have expertise in the characteristics and performance of students with ASD; however, given the lack of unique behavioral support interventions identified for such students, this may not be critical.
School-age students with ASD who exhibit challenging behavior may require a variety of behavioral supports to maximize participation in typical classroom and community settings. Perhaps the most critical issue is to focus on the needs of individual students, as opposed to assuming various support needs based on whether or not a child has an ASD label. It is hoped that this article provides some guidance to those school personnel and families providing such support to children and adolescents exhibiting challenging behavior in school and community settings.

The Springboks' rush defence never let the All Blacks settle into their stride and a Jean de Villiers interception try helped the hosts build a 13-0 lead.
But two Daniel Carter penalties and Rico Gear's try helped the All Blacks claw back to 16-13 down at half-time.
Two more Percy Montgomery penalties proved enough though to secure victory.
The win sees the Springboks, who edged Australia by the same score a week ago, leap above the Wallabies to second in the world rankings.
The home side got off to a perfect start as Montgomery landed a well-struck penalty, and were 13-0 to the good after a ferocious opening 10 minutes.
Fly-half Andre Pretorius dropped a smart drop-goal after Bakkies Botha had disrupted an All Blacks line-out, before South Africa claimed an interception try.
But the All Blacks refused to be cowed and were level by the 27th minute.
Carter landed a penalty before the visitors conjured a superb try, huge cut-out passes from Aaron Mauger and Jerry Collins sending Gear over in the right corner.
Carter's conversion and a subsequent penalty made it 13-13, but the Springboks edged ahead again before the interval.
After Pretorius missed another drop-goal attempt and Montgomery failed with a penalty, the full-back was successful with his next effort after 37 minutes.
Gear almost created another try for the All Blacks on the resumption when he stepped inside two defenders only for his pass to fall to ground.
South Africa's rush defence almost brought another try when Jaque Fourie picked up a loose pass from Keven Mealamu to touch down, but the centre was adjudged offside.
Pretorius missed two further drop-goal attempts as he tried to extend the Springboks' lead, and they were grateful to wing Bryan Habana for a try-saving tackle on Carter.
The All Blacks fly-half brought his side to within a converted try of victory with a fourth penalty seven minutes from time.
But the Springboks held on amid rapturous scenes at Newlands for their first win over New Zealand in Cape Town since 1976.
South Africa: Montgomery; Paulse, Fourie, De Villiers, Habana; Pretorius, Januarie; Du Randt, Smit (captain), Van der Linde; Botha, Matfield; Burger, Smith, Van NiekerkReplacements: Shimange, Steenkamp, Van den Berg, Cronje, Du Preez, Julies, Van der Westhuyzen

WEA Caught Using Dues for Politics - Again!
Local watchdog group wants union declared a PAC
The WEA requires that teachers who do not join the union must pay "agency fees" of about $600 per year for collective bargaining and other union benefits. State officials charged that the WEA illegally spent "tens of thousands" of non-member dollars on political action over the past five years after improperly depositing the money into a general fund.
Judge Tabor fined the WEA $200,000, then doubled that amount as a punitive action because the union's violations were proven intentional. He also required that the WEA pay attorneys' fees, investigative costs and court costs. The fine is expected to exceed $500,000, the largest amount ever levied against the WEA.
"WEA officials are used to breaking the law and having their way with teachers' paychecks because they think no one is big enough to stop them," says EFF executive director Lynn Harsh. "Judge Tabor has sent those union officials an expensive reminder that they are not above the law."
In 1998, the WEA paid $430,000 in fines to settle a lawsuit filed by Washington Attorney General Christine Gregoire for similar violations of state law. It was one of the largest campaign-finance penalties in state history at the time. (See Education Reporter, December 1997 and October 1998.)
In his July 31st ruling, Judge Tabor found that Washington's Public Disclosure Commission (PDC), which is charged with upholding the state's campaign finance laws, failed to carry out its policing mission. "The PDC clearly did not move decisively to enforce this statute," he noted. "In fact, the PDC acted only when spurred by citizen complaints." Nonetheless, the judge rejected the WEA's defense claims that the PDC did not spell out "what was expected" of the union. "A person speeding down a roadway does not have the right to speed just because a police officer does not make a traffic stop when the opportunity arises," the judge stated.
On October 16, the EFF argued before the Washington Court of Appeals that the WEA "should be declared a political action committee and required to report as one, due to its extensive involvement in Washington elections."
EFF attorney Steven O'Ban stated: "The [state's] Public Disclosure Act requires full and complete disclosure of campaign contributions and expenditures. The law was intended to protect fair elections by keeping citizens informed about special interests. The WEA is a powerful political force that operates under the radar."
A decision by the Appeals Court is expected in 30 to 90 days.

Radiation effects 6 months after?
- Question from Mary: I am 6 months post wide excision and radiation. Sometimes I am so exhausted. Am I still feeling radiation effects?
- Answers - Marisa Weiss, M.D. There are no residual radiation in you, that is, you were never radioactive, most likely; but the draining effect of the daily radiation treatment over weeks, that comes on top of the scare of the diagnosis, the surgery, and some people, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy--all together--combine to take your energy away. It can take a long time to recover from these accumulative effects. Also, I find that just the disruption of your every day routine to make room for these treatments can really throw off the rhythm in your life. You may find yourself no longer exercising properly or eating well or doing the things that you enjoy doing. Many of these things may have been what gave you a flow of energy when things felt more normal.
- Lillian Nail It is not unusual for women in our studies to tell us that they still feel more tired than they think they should 6 to 8 months out of radiation therapy. That tends to get better over time but a lot of women still tell us they still feel some fatigue up to a year out of treatment.
- Russell Portenoy These syndromes of prolonged fatigue after treatment—including radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy—are not well recognized by many physicians. If a physician tends to ignore the complaints or simply offers reassurance that everything is fine when the fatigue is severe enough to interfere with function, a patient should not be concerned about insisting on the kind of evaluation that we spoke about before or the possibility of seeking another opinion from a physician who would take the complaint more seriously.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. Don't worry about "complaining" when you are describing fatigue to your health care taker although it can sometimes feel like that, but as Dr. Portenoy said, the only way they will know that you are feeling so fatigued is if you tell them.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Ease Fatigue, Boost Energy featured Lillian Nail, Ph.D., R.N., Russel Portenoy, M.D., and Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about ways to manage fatigue and increase energy levels.

hopes to utilize in the 2012-13 school year for Delta Shoreline Tours for elementary schools. This park will have the added
benefit of having a science lab in the new Big Break Visitor Center on the Delta building.
Big Break Regional Shoreline Park and Big Break Visitor Center At The Delta
The park is located at 69 Big Break Road, Oakley, CA 94561
Telephone: (510) 544-3050
When the Delta Science Center committee first started planning in 1995 the idea was wrapped around finding a location along the shoreline where visitors can experience the ecology of the Delta first-hand. Over the years many locations and partnerships were discussed. By the early 2000s the East Bay Regional Park District began working on a site that would allow the Delta Science Center committee a place to offer science related programs.
EB Parks added the Delta Science Center to a bond they were bringing to the voters. This was great news to the committee as their plans would have a home in Oakley (located in East Contra Costa County) right on the shoreline of Big Break. The bond measure passed and plans for building commenced. The location is now called Big Break Regional Shoreline Park.
The most important feature of the park is that it is located right on the water's edge. There are few places in Contra Costa County where people have the chance to explore the shorelines of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta without a boat or access to one of the many islands.
The first project completed on the Big Break Regional Shoreline was a pier where people can walk out over the water, enjoy the view and even do a little fishing.
The next step took several years to complete but soon the Delta Discovery Area was built.
The Delta Discovery Area
The prime location for a lecture area features a podium that has room for an overhead display. There are also lights available so that evening events can take place at the site.
Another nice feature is a fire pit set up that can be used during the cool evenings on the Delta.
The area is covered to keep students cool and shielded from the hot sun.
During the summer it isn't uncommon to see a family enjoying the benches with a picnic lunch.
Other features include a shaded sitting area, restrooms and a kayak launch site.
Delta Regional Map
Perhaps the most exciting feature in the Delta Discovery Area is the map that has been embedded in the walkway.
Designed and built by Scientific Art Studio out of Richmond, California, the map features a 3-D Mount Diablo and all the waterways that run down the mountain through the flowing rivers of the Delta.
The map features locations of the local rivers that make up the Delta region as well as many of the islands within the area.
The map also features tiles with satellite pictures of the larger surrounding cities of the Delta region.
This is a big help when describing the features of the Delta to students who come to visit the park. As with all East Bay Regional Parks District's programs the park is open from sunrise to sunset. There are programs available during the weekends. Check out the park display board for more information.
Big Break Visitor Center at the Delta
This 5,000 square feet building features a display area that soon will feature multimedia displays depicting the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta past and present, a science room where students can come and do science experiments on the Delta and a community conference room. Currently the building is open Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays 10 am - 4 pm, however in other times if the EB Parks staff are around just knock on the window and they would be glad to show you around. At this time EB Parks and community members are working on planning the inside of the building, hopefully the displays will be complete during 2014.
Natural Environment at Big Break Regional Shoreline
From the EB Parks website:"Big Break is home to 70 species of birds and several species of mammals. Twenty-seven special-status wildlife species have the potential to occur within the parkland; six special-status wildlife species are known to occur. Nesting is confirmed or suspected for black rails, northern harriers, white-tailed kites, and yellow-breasted chats. Many wading birds, including great blue herons, great egrets, snowy egrets, green herons and white-faced ibis, forage in the tidal sloughs and freshwater marshes. These areas also provide habitat for Western pond turtles, a California Species of Special Concern. Big Break is suitable breeding habitat for turtles, and females can lay their eggs in the sandy banks and well-drained upland soils. The tidal sloughs, freshwater marsh, and riparian areas also provide valuable habitat for beavers, muskrats, and river otters, which forage and potentially den at Big Break."

1993 Commodity Flow Survey Commodity Movements Summary Maryland
1993 Commodity Flow Survey Commodity Movements Summary Maryland
In Maryland, the CFS measured $99 billion of goods shipments weighing 123 million tons. Maryland accounted for approximately 2 percent of the value and 1 percent of the weight of total U.S. shipments. The CFS data cover shipments by establishments in mining, manufacturing, wholesale, and selected retail and service industries. The data exclude most shipments of crude oil; therefore, the totals and percentages do not fully reflect the contribution of pipeline shipments.
The major commodities shipped by establishments in Maryland vary when measured by value and weight. The main commodities shipped from Maryland by value were: food or kindred products; transportation equipment; chemicals or allied products; electrical machinery, equipment, or supplies; and machinery, including computers. The main commodities shipped by weight were: nonmetallic minerals; food or kindred products; petroleum or coal products; clay, concrete, glass, or stone products; and chemical or allied products.
Local transportation of freight is important to Maryland's commerce. The CFS shows that in 1993, about 31 percent of the value and 57 percent of the weight of total shipments from Maryland were shipped to destinations within the state. About 39 percent of the value and about 69 percent of the weight of all shipments were between places less than 50 miles apart. In comparison, about 30 percent of the value and 56 percent of the weight of total U.S. shipments were between places less than 50 miles apart. In Maryland, about 49 percent of the value of shipments and 80 percent of the weight of shipments were between places less than 100 miles apart.
About 69 percent of the value and 43 percent of the weight of all shipments from Maryland went to other states. Some of the most important destination states by value were: Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia. Important destination states by weight were: Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, the District of Columbia, and New Jersey.
Most commodities were moved by trucks, about 81 percent of the value and 84 percent of the weight. Rail was used to move about 4 percent of the value and 5 percent of the weight of shipments. The CFS data confirm the rising importance of parcel, U.S. postal, and courier services that have emerged in recent years. In 1993, this mode of transport was used to ship 484,000 tons of goods worth about $11 billion or 12 percent of the value of all shipments in Maryland. In comparison, about 9 percent of the value of total U.S. shipments were moved by this mode.
The Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) is a comprehensive effort to learn where and how goods are shipped in the U.S. The CFS measures shipments of commodities by establishments with paid employees and engaged in manufacturing, mining, wholesale trade, or selected retail and services industries. Prior commodity surveys covered shipments only by manufacturing firms. Commodity flows are estimated for a universe of approximately 900,000 establishments.
Data collected on individual shipments include total value, total weight, commodity type, modes of transport, domestic origin and destination; data for export shipments include the city and country of destination, mode and port of exit. Information is also be obtained on whether shipments are containerized or a hazardous material. Some firms provided data concerning on-site shipping facilities and access to shipping facilities, plus data on ownership and leasing of transportation equipment.
The CFS is conducted by the Bureau of the Census as part of the Economic Census. Funding and technical guidance is provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Initiated for 1993, the CFS is scheduled for 1997 and every 5 years thereafter for years ending in 2 and 7. Commodity surveys were conducted between 1963 and 1982, but data for 1982 were not published. No data were collected for 1987. Participants will report for a sample of shipments during a 2-week period each quarter during the reporting year.
The CFS is a mail-out/mail-back survey of 200,000 sampled employer establishments in selected industries. Establishments were selected by stratified sample, with strata based on geographic location and industry. Geographic strata are the 89 National Transportation Analysis Regions(NTARs), which provide nationwide coverage and are aggregations of Bureau of Economic Analysis economic areas. Within the strata, all establishments with annualized employment above a specified cutoff were selected with certainty, and the remaining smaller establishments were sampled with probability proportional to annualized payroll.
For 1993, each sampled establishment reported on a sample of individual shipments during a 2 week period in each calendar quarter. In addition, about 20,000 establishments will provide information on transportation facilities and arrangements in their final reporting period.
For further information about survey design and printed products, contact the Commodity Flow Survey Branch, Services Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233, or by calling 301/457-2805 or 2114. For information on related data programs and studies, contact the Bureau of Transportation Statistics at 202/366-DATA for voice, 202/366-3640 for fax, or firstname.lastname@example.com for e-mail.

South African referee arrested for match-fixing
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — One of South Africa's top referees has been arrested by a high-priority crime unit for match-fixing, the national football association said on Thursday.
The statement came on the same day sportswear company Puma said it was exercising its right to terminate its sponsorship of South Africa's national team because of previous fixing allegations in the buildup to the country's hosting of the World Cup three years ago.
SAFA said the unnamed referee was on its panel of referees and was implicated in the case of Phil Setshedi, a former South Africa assistant coach who was sentenced to three years in prison in February after a sting operation caught him trying to bribe a referee to fix the outcome of a league promotion playoff. Setshedi was caught out by an undercover police officer posing as a referee, but his court case led SAFA to initially suspend this referee and place him under investigation.
"The arrest of the match official is an outcome of ongoing collaboration between SAFA and the Directorate of Priority Crimes Investigation which is aimed at pursuing all other persons of interest in the said case," SAFA chief executive Dennis Mumble said. "We would like to reiterate that we will leave no stone unturned until all the implicated persons are brought to book."
Mumble said the national association would not release any more details on the referee arrest, but had committed to "act swiftly, effectively and without fear or favor should we receive evidence of wrongdoing."
Mumble's assertion that SAFA was acting decisively was in stark contrast to the apparent lack of progress of a government-led investigation into allegations of fixing in warm-up games ahead of the 2010 World Cup, despite South African officials agreeing with FIFA in April that a probe must happen.
FIFA believes at least one of South Africa's friendlies in the weeks leading up to the last showcase was fixed but South African President Jacob Zuma has yet to appoint a panel to investigate.
Some of those South African warm-up games are believed to have been manipulated by referees working for the Singapore-based betting syndicate of Wilson Raj Perumal and Dan Tan, who was recently arrested and is accused of coordinating a global crime syndicate that made millions of dollars betting on rigged matches.
The South Africa matches that might have been fixed haven't been identified, but South Africa's 5-0 win over Guatemala and 2-1 win over Colombia in May 2010 have long been under suspicion.
Three penalties for handball were awarded by Niger referee Ibrahim Chaibou in South Africa-Guatemala, which is the match that raised the most concern. FIFA also wants to question Chaibou for his handling of other suspicious friendlies in Africa, Asia and South America, where a high number of penalties were awarded, apparently to feed illegal betting.
South Africa-Colombia was the official opening of Soccer City in Soweto. All three goals in that game, which was refereed by Kenyan official Samuel Langat, came from penalty kicks.
Langat was dropped from FIFA's list of referees authorized for international matches at the end of 2010, while Chaibou reached the mandatory retirement age of 45 in 2011 and FIFA hasn't yet tracked him down.

1741. I am not sure if he was actually born in Dublin or in the surrounding
vicinity. He actually could have been born in England, but I just don't have
verifiable information, only the Dublin data written on a piece of paper by
an ancestor. He was apparently raised and enrolled for the priesthood, but
at sometime during this training changed and became a doctor. He appears to
have immigrated to America via Philadelphia, in 1770. I don't know if he was
a certified doctor when he left Ireland and came to America or not. I have
no additional information on John while in Ireland.
He came by ship to America and to the state of Pennsylvania, USA and married
a "Hannah Armstrong". They had three sons, John A. Moore Jr., Armstrong and
Abraham. It is also stated they had five daughters, but I have found no
record of such. They owned farm lands, called Example, Moorefields, and
Station on the south branch of Whiteley Creek. He was in the Rev. War as a
private, although our family papers stated he was a doctor. He was also
called "schoolmaster" of Big Whiteley Creek in Greene Co. PA. He died on
December 2, 1818 in Greene County, Pennsylvania. He and Hannah are
buried in the Armstrong Cemetery near Carmichaels, PA.

Normally, Austrian polititians repeat a lot of prior German governmental actions, such as privatization of public services. Today was different. The Austrian Minister for Agrarian and Environmental Affairs, Nikolaus Berlakovich, has halted the introduction of 'bio-ethanol fuel' E10 at the pumps for 'his' Alpine republic.
How come? Brains sent by heaven, or just common sense?
Well, the EU is currently re-evaluating its 'politically correct' stance toward conversion of 'food to fuel'. The EU has been subsidizing this non-sense program to the delight of EU farmers who had then converted their fields for fuel production in order to get more cash by being 'fuel producers', thus reducing their space for nutritional purposes.
But, the EU is NOW planning to phase out this allegedly environmentally friendly approach by 2020.
The EU "good-people", really naive in thinking of effectiveley tackling the CO2 issue, are quite disenchanted by reality because the carbon footprint of burning down the rain forests in order to make room for corn and suger cane fields is counter-productive to "climate amelioration". To the contrary, this conversion produces more CO2 in developing nations, and produces more hunger to the despair of hungry people. Is this humane?
When Germany's Foreign Aid Minister, Dirk Niebel (FDP), visited some very poor African countries, he suddenly was enlightened by the lack of humanitarian sensitivity the "food for fuel" program really implies.
His wake-up call has obviously resonated in the brains of some big heads in Brussels and Strasbourg, and obviously in the Austrian minister's consciousness as well.
But, the b.s. has been going on in the U.S. for years - making some 40 per cent of corn production assigned to bio-ethanol fuel production of E15 petrol at the pumps. Isn't it the top of insanity?
The Austrians would have been very wary as well as the Germans were when this 'E10 moon-shine' had been introduced in installments in the eastern and southern parts of Germany before it also reached the northern and very populous western parts of the Federal Republic.
E10 has been still a non-seller at the pumps in Germany since despite being cheaper by 3 to 4 euro-cents per liter (or some 20 US-cents per gallon). E5 is enough for German consumers who don't wanna damage their older cars (5+ years) by this new formula of E10 stuff.
Mr. Berlakovic, thank you for having the guts to make this step.
The Austrian consumers and the Austrian automobile club ÖAMTC have already been applauding this brave move of a minister who would have liked to distribute goodies to farmers but ultimately came to a common sense evaluation.

Ordination requirements - anyone know?
May 24, 2008, 02:01:07 PM »
Quick question about ordination: Are any of you knowledgeable on the subject?
Do any of you know the up-to-date legal guidelines for ordination? If the state requires someone to be ordained before they can perform marriages, I would guess there is some standard they require so they can be sure someone is truly recognized by some group – truly ordained.
It used to be that any group could decide they recognized someone as being truly called of God, and therefore ordain that person into the ministry.
Reason for my asking: The pastor of one of the Cowboy Churches we attend has been increasingly asked to conduct many other services as he travels around North America doing his tent making job to do with horses. These days, he is almost more involved in the ministry than he is with horse stuff.
It is
to all that he is truly called and anointed of the Lord to be in this ministry.
I have been feeling it on my heart for some time to see him ordained. At the calf branding Thursday, he confided in me that his ministry has grown such that he now sees the need for becoming ordained. He does not feel he needs to be ordained to do what he has been doing thus far. It is just that others expect a minister conducting services etc. to be ordained. He can also see that he will be asked to perform weddings from time to time. Additionally, he is receiving "donations" for his ministry. There needs to be some sort of legal framework set up for accounting for that money – and so the donors can receive donation tax paperwork at the end of each year.
Maybe I am asking two questions here: One regards legal ordination (as accepted by the state and feds), and the other regards possibly needing to form a 501-C-3.
He does not want to be associated with a denomination or group that would cause others to question his ministry. I.e. COA type churches. I agree with him.
I told him I thought any group of people could ordain him. I added that I did not know if that group needed to be a 501-C-3 first. If it is necessary, I think WE could form our own separate 501-C-3 ministry with all the bylaws etc. If that is the case, I wish I knew where my lawyer created 501-C-3 paperwork was and just duplicate it for his ministry. My 501-C-3 ministry has long been closed down. My paperwork is also long gone.
Anyway, I don't even know if having a 501-C-3 is necessary for having something the state and feds would recognize when it comes to accepting someones ordination.
As a last resort, I could direct him to the organization that ordained myself and several other former CC ministers (not while in CC). The problem is, is that he does not know them, and they do not know him. Their procedures for ordaining him would be cumbersome, but possible. (They are in Florida.)
Do any of you have up-to-date knowledge along this line that could help us/him?
As a side note: This particular Cowboy Church is closing, and this pastor friend is moving his family to NW Oregon in June. I will be in frequent contact with him. Last Thursday, I was asked to take over the church but declined for various reasons.

I understand there is no government "requirement" to incorporate. It is just expected. Once incorporated, it gives way too much control to the feds.
If people gave to a ministry as a "gift" and not as a payment for services, then there would be no need for incorporation - as I see it. Those wanting their offering to be accounted for for tax deductions at the end of the year make need for a 501-C-3, and all the troubles it brings.
We have been givers, tithers, etc., but have always given as a cash "gift," or a check with "gift" clearly marked on it; never requiring an accounting of our giving.

In my opinion,
If your cowboy minister is going to be looking for donations, he should incorporate as a 501-C-3.
He should have articles of incorporation, a board of directors, and a set of bylaws.
Every 501-C-3 should make their finances public. First of all, they should have published their mission objectives, and then they should show how donations are achieving those objectives, including a financial report.
As for ordination, it is odd that ministers have to seek ordination from complete strangers. Somehow, that just seems off. Are there no ministerial organizations operating in the cowboy community that would recognize the calling and then ordain this person?
I do believe strongly that ministries need to be accountable for their finances. And, I believe there needs to be a reasonable system of accountability in place (and I don't mean a board of "yes men" or family members.)
This is partially why I question ordination by a ministry in a far away location that doesn't know the minister or has no ongoing relationship in his ministry.
A few thoughts off the top my head.
Your confidence in a proposition should be proportional to the strength of the evidence supporting it.

I agree with you.
Howbeit, up to now, he has never asked for monies. People just hand him money to help pay his way.
As far as ordination, the IMA (the one in Florida) has member ministers all over the nation (as I am sure you know). There would be a local (somewhere in the state) oversight board.
The Cowboy Churches nationwide represent several differing ministries, and do have various oversight headquarters. However, the ones we are knowledgeable about are into the hyper faith/name-it-and-claim-it/don't ever confess a lack or need, type of doctrines. They are also into helping to bless the Christian by constantly soliciting tithes and offerings - so the Christian attending can be blessed by giving. Our friend is not into these types of excesses. Rather he rightly flees from them.
It is for this reason I would like to see those of us that know him be the ones to ordain him. It is just that I do not know if that is sufficient when it comes to States and the Feds requirements.
Thanks for your thoughts. Keep um come'n.

If I might make a suggestion:
Have your friend contact a local community college that offers classes in business, business law and etcetera. 'Hate to say it, but once money moves from one hand to another, "business" is involved, and the government is watching.
A little education now could save him a lot of grief later. It's worth the investment.
There are also several good computer programs that are aimed at church finances. These make record keeping much easier, and can generate the end of year tax receipts.
Heb 11:13 All these faithful ones died without receiving what God had promised them, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed the promises of God. They agreed that they were no more than foreigners and
here on earth.

The way it is.
A Church does not have to be a 5013c. EVER
But this guy is not a church but is starting a paraministry. So he probably should be a non profit corp.
A 5013c for a church is to protect the ministers and leaders of the church. It does NOT protect the church but instead makes it much easier to sue the church.
If he is the head of the paraministry then he does not need it. If he wants to marry someone then he needs to be licensed by the state just to do that.
Some people think they need to be "ordained" to minister. But that really is just a "church" thing. God can anoint you and then you can just "go".
Being ordained does open some doors for you.
I will over come at least untill I think up something new

How does one go about being licensed by the state? When I performed a marriage, all it took was my ordination certificate. (But, that was 20 years ago.)

I found out the answer to the original post of this thread.
I have been researching the "law" when it comes to legally performing weddings in Washington and in Oregon. In so doing, I've talked to departments in both states.
In Washington, the marriage form only asks for
performed the wedding. They actually said the preference, from the State's perspective, is that someone is married. They trust the person performing the ceremony is in fact a member of the recognized clergy. They don't check to verify the information on the form unless someone contacts them with a complaint that the information could be bogus. I found this out by calling Washington State in Olympia at Statistical Services at (360) 236-4330. No "clergy" needs to register with the State at any time.
In Oregon, the person performing the wedding
need to be an ordained minister that is recognized such by some/any recognized church or organization. This organization or church does need to be "official" and have a physical address where they can be contacted. This church or organization does not need to be in Oregon. The ordained minister (clergy) does not need to register with the State of Oregon prior to performing weddings.
When I asked Oregon about someone that had a traveling ministry and did not have a "church" physical address, I was told that the marriage form had two places for address's that the clergy needed to fill out: One is the physical address for the recognized church or organization that has recognized the officiating person as clergy, and, the form will ask for your physical address. In Oregon I called their Center for Health Statistics / Marriages / Darcy Niemeyer at 971-673-1160.
The simple bottom line is that in these two states you just fill out the marriage form. Washington will trust you to be who you say you are. Oregon will trust you, but wants two address from you to verify your authority to do weddings.
Now, when it comes to performing weddings in other states, you would need to contact each State's Vital Statistics office to find out their laws/regulations, prior to performing a wedding.

---I have performed weddings since CCBTC days. I have considered my ordination to be for life. Since my vision & faith have not changed I still perform weddings for those I know. I might add that I was blessed to marry both of my adult children. That was a highlight of ministry. The WA state paperwork is as you say. On a practical note someone can marry without a minister. Just file the paperwork yourself.

By now I'm sure that you've used or last seen Excel's formula autocomplete.
While you could go to the File tab / Options choice to turn it on or off, it's much faster to do it right in the worksheet.
All you have to do is use Alt + Down Arrow while in a cell of the worksheet.
This is a toggle combination so Alt + Down Arrow again will turn it back on.
On – Off – On – Off… it's as simple as a key combination without a single trip to the Options dialog.

BRUSSELS (Jun. 28)
The smallest Jewish community in Belgium, the 65 Jews of the Ardenese town of Arlon, celebrated the 100th anniversary of its synagogue, the oldest in Belgium. The community was among the most active and flourishing in the country in the 19th century.
The mayor and all of the town officials, as well as many Catholic, Protestants and lay leaders attended the ceremony. The Jewish communities of Belgium and Luxemberg also were represented. They included Paul Philippson, president of the Jewish consistory and Chief Rabbi Robert Dreyfuss of Belgium.

My desoldering iron wont work on some pc boards
First try adding some fresh solder to the joint from which you've removed most of the solder. Old solder doesn't tend to flow very well. Then, try sucking it out again.
The next thing to try, if possible, is to heat the lead from one side with a soldering iron, and heat it on the other side with a desoldering iron. This added heat may allow the joint to go completely molten, allowing it to be sucked out.
You can also try pre-heating the whole board in an oven, but I don't recommend doing this in an oven you also use for food.
Is it a desolder iron with suction? Hold it in your other hand and use at the same time as the iron, or if you have one, a normal solder sucker.
It's cheap and easy.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6252 <or etc.
I have that stuff and its top notch for the price.
TIP #1... APPLY MORE HEAT. If solder sucker is not sucking then you are NOT HEATING the joint enough. Apply a 2nd solder iron to add more heat or use a BIGGER iron. Usually this problem occurs when trying to unsolder larger pins or large components connected to heatsinks.
TIP #2..... You SUCKED too soon. Let the junction heat up real hot before sucking the solder.
TIP #3.... If your first attempt didn't work... then you will likely need to RESOLDER the junction and try sucking junction AGAIN.. This time heat it up HOTTER before sucking.
TIP #4.... The tip of the iron must not have BLACK CHARCOAL look to it. Tip must be silvery clean and tinned. Use wet sponge to keep tip clean or if tip is VERY carboned-up... you might need to use some radioshack TIP CLEANER stuff. (only a couple bucks... dont be cheap BUY ONEj). If tip still doesn't clean up... you may need to wire-brush or knife-scrape the tip lightly and RE-TIN with solder.
TIP *5.... you may need to heat BOTH sides of the pc board at the same time with 2 soldering irons to get enough heat to melt the solder.
All of this takes PRACTICE and Patience.... then you will get it. Too much heating of the pc board will eventually damage the board. You will discover it is better to heat the junction ONCE REAL HOT and succeed.... rather than to heat it SIX TIMES and fail... and have damaged board.

- Coordinated care health insurance
Stop denying my baby his RSV shot
Coordinated care health company sent me a letter saying that they are denying to pay for my 5 month old sons RSV shot because he doesn't have a congenital heart defect. My son has SVT ( super ventricular tachycardia)and WPW(wolf parkinson white) they are defects of the heart and if born with it its congenital. If I take my son of his medication he will die. Coordinated Care said its just an arithmia but its not, its a malfunction of the valve that makes the heart beat faster than it should. Because of his congenital heart defect he costs the health incurance company a lot of money and they don't want to pay for his shot because he's so expensive for them. If my baby doesn't get his RSV shot he could die because his heart is weak. We tried to appeal the denial but they still refused to pay for it. I am fighting this tooth and nail and I will show them that what they are doing is wrong and that its not fair to deny a baby something that could save his life. I need help to show coordinated care to stop being so selfish and give my baby his RSV shot.Please help me by signing my petition to show them that they should stop denying my son his shot.

What are examples of mammographic modalities? What types of training would be acceptable as training in new mammographic modalities?
The term mammographic modality refers to a technology for radiography of the breast. 21 C.F.R. 900.2(z). Examples of long available mammographic modalities are screen-film mammography and xeromammography. An example of a relatively new mammographic modality is full field digital mammography (FFDM). Personnel whose training pertained solely to screen-film mammography would be required to obtain 8 hours of training in FFDM, if they are to begin providing services or interpretations using this mammographic modality after April 28, 1999. However, if those personnel gained their experience using investigational FFDM units (units that were used for research purposes before being approved by FDA for commercial distribution), they are considered to have met the 8 hour requirement.
New mammographic modality training can be in many forms, including, but not limited to, residency training, special training courses, continuing medical education, and training provided by the manufacturer. For interpreting physicians, this does not have to be category I continuing medical education.
