Son of Kyoto: Same ol' fleecing
The seeds for a new, legally binding United Nations agreement to supposedly fight "climate change" will invariably produce the same rotten fruit as the preposterous pact it replaces.
The so-called "Durban Platform," being hailed as a "hard-fought" agreement, is nothing more than a reconfigured wealth-transferring scheme in the troubling tradition of the Kyoto Protocol, whose commitments expire next year. Various bodies would redistribute billions upon billions of dollars each year from wealthy nations on the pretext of helping poor countries adapt to changing climate conditions.
The supposed "breakthrough" under the new accord is that China, India and other "developing" nations, which were granted exemptions under Kyoto, have agreed to accept some form of legal commitment come 2015 -- so long as it isn't too punishing.
But this latest push to save the planet -- and thoroughly fleece the U.S. -- is premised on climate "conclusions" that are challenged by dissenting scientists and hamstrung by allegations of improprieties. To wit, leaked e-mails from the University of East Anglia's climate researchers reveal "conspiracy, exaggerated warming data (and) possibly illegal destruction and manipulation of data," writes Heritage Foundation analyst Nick Loris.
The illegitimate son of Kyoto is no more acceptable than his pocket-picking parent.

Referencing members when setting watch breakpoints
Technote (troubleshooting)
When you set a watch breakpoint for a variable or expression, it must be in scope and referenced correctly in the Add a Watch Breakpoint dialog box.
This information applies to the Compiled Language Debugger that is shipped as the IBM Debugger for AIX, IBM Debugger for z/TPF, and IBM WebSphere Developer Debugger for zSeries - and in other IBM Application Development Environments.
Resolving the problem
Before you can set a watch breakpoint for a variable or expression, you must be in a context where the expression can be evaluated. One way to ensure that the variable is in scope is to set a breakpoint on the line after the declaration of the variable and then, when you are stopped on that breakpoint, create the watch breakpoint.
After ensuring that the variable is in scope, you can proceed with creating the watch breakpoint in the Add a Watch Breakpoint dialog box. When the Breakpoints view is in the foreground, you can right-click inside of it and select Add Breakpoint from the pop-up menu. This menu item opens to a sub-menu that allows you to choose from a variety of breakpoint types to add. In the sub-menu, select Watch to open the Add a Watch Breakpoint dialog box.
In the dialog box, complete the Address or expression field with the variable name. The variable must also be referenced correctly if it is a member. For example,
- If you are debugging C or C++ and you want to watch member2 which is a member of class/struct var1, enter var1.member2 in the Address or expression field.
- If you are debugging COBOL and you want to watch elementary item variable2 which is belongs to group item groupitem1, enter variable2 of groupitem1 as the expression.
After you complete the Address or expression field correctly, select the number of bytes to watch and then click Finish to set the breakpoint - or click Next if you want the breakpoint to be conditional.

On Tuesday, April 30th, Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE:VLO) reported the results of what I believe to be a very strong first quarter. The company's Q1 EPS of $1.18/share beat Street estimates by $0.18/share, and its revenue of $33.47 billion beat Street estimates by an impressive $3.06 billion. In the wake of the company's impressive first quarter, I wanted to examine several catalysts behind my decision to consider a long-term position in this oil and gas play.
According to Valero's Chairman and CEO, Bill Klesse:
"Valero achieved solid results in the first quarter, despite a heavy turnaround and maintenance workload; our refineries had good performance that was aided by wider diesel margins and crude oil discounts plus contribution from our new hydrocracker at the Port Arthur refinery. Our strong cash flow enabled us to return $415 million in cash to our shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks in the first quarter."
Valero also demonstrated a $700M increase in operating income, which was primarily due to higher refining throughput margins in each of VLO's operating regions (with the exception of the west coast region of the United States), the result of higher margins for diesel and jet fuel, and wider discounts on crude oil and feed stocks.
Recent Performance: On Monday, shares of VLO, which currently possess a market cap of $22.83 billion, a P/E ratio of 11.08, and a forward P/E ratio of 7.08, a PEG ratio of 1.08 and a yield of 1.94% ($0.80) settled at $50.97/share at the end of the trading day. Based on its closing price, shares of VLO are trading 0.45% above their 20-day simple moving average, 5.71% below their 50-day simple moving average, and 18.60% above their 200-day simple moving average. These numbers indicate a short-term and long-term uptrend for the stock, which generally translates into two-thirds of a buying mode for traders. Although the company's 50-day simple moving average is negative, it's not something I'd worry about considering today's announcement of a very strong first quarter.
Dividend Behavior: Since February 12, 2010, VLO has increased its quarterly dividend a total of three times by an average of $0.05 per increase each time. From an income perspective, the company's forward yield of 1.94% coupled with its payout ratio (currently 17.00%) and its continued annual increases could equate into a very viable income option for long-term investors.
VLO Dividend data by YCharts
Upcoming Spin-Off: On Friday April 5th, Valero received some positive news from the IRS regarding the company's planned spin-off of its CST Retail Brands business. According to the company's press release regarding the upcoming spin-off of CST:
"Valero has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings set forth in the ruling, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution of CST Brands common stock and certain related transactions generally will not be taxable to Valero or U.S. holders of Valero common stock, except with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares."
The transaction is expected to occur on May 1st, in which Valero shareholders will receive 1 share of CST stock for every 9 share of VLO they currently hold.
Conclusion: When it comes to those who may be looking to establish a position in Valero, I'd continue keep a watchful eye on not only the company's dividend behavior over the next 12 months, but any key developments that may occur that would affect the company's earnings growth, such as the continuation of improved refinery performance and any potential catalyst that would help improve the company's cash flow.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in VLO over the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Arraignment of a San Dimas teacher's aide accused of having a sexual relationship with a student, which reportedly led to her giving birth to his child, was pushed back more than a week at a court hearing Friday.
Mandy Amanda Morales, 30, was not present at the hearing in Pomona Superior Court following her arrest Wednesday evening, Pomona Superior Court records indicate.
She posted $50,000 bail and is scheduled to be back in Pomona Superior Court on Sept. 19. Her previous arraignment date had been Sept. 11.
"I think it's pretty messed up because we trust people in those types of positions to watch out for kids and to take care of them," said Lance Sewell of Covina, who was visiting someone in Morales' neighborhood.
Morales was arrested at her home in the 700 block of Aguirre Avenue, a quiet cul-de-sac made up of well-maintained homes.
"I remember seeing a couple of sheriff's vehicles going up that street a couple of days ago," said Nick Morones, who lives less than a block from Aguirre Avenue. "But I don't think I've ever seen her around,"
Morales allegedly had a sexual relationship with a then-16-year-old student at Canyon View School, a private school that provides education for students with special needs, such as developmental and learning disabilities, as well as behavioral issues, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said Thursday.
The student was attending the school reportedly because he was not thriving in a traditional school environment, according to sheriff's officials, but the now-19-year-old is not considered developmentally disabled.
Investigators learned of the alleged crime in December, after an employee at Canyon View School who was searching for learning materials, found a journal belonging to Morales that had been stored in a locked file cabinet. The journal reportedly detailed Morales' relationship with the student.
The employee noticed the cabinet had been secured with a non-school-issued lock, which led to school officials' removing the lock and the discovery of the journal, authorities said.
The relationship with the student began in 2011 and resulted in the birth of a child, authorities said. Sheriff's investigators determined through DNA testing that the victim fathered the child, sheriff's investigators said. Detectives do not believe there are any more alleged victims in this case but their investigation is still ongoing.
Anyone with information on the Morales case may call sheriff's investigators at 562-946-7960.

Alexander McCall Smith has created an internationally beloved franchise with his No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. While the books always contain a mystery or two for Precious Ramotswe to solve, the main themes of McCall Smith's work are relationships, kindness and honoring the long-held traditions of Botswana.
In the 14th book, "The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon," Precious Ramotswe, the traditionally built private investigator at the center of the action, is working on two cases while dealing with her secretary, Grace Makutsi's, impending motherhood.
Mma. Ramotswe is hired by Mma. Sheba, a less-than-ethical attorney, who believes a long-lost heir to an estate she's probating may not be who he says he is. In this case, Mma. Ramotswe is suspicious of everyone – the lawyer, the dead man's housekeeper, the "nephew" – and digs deep to find the truth.
Mma. Ramotswe travels to the farm as she tries to put the pieces of a puzzling family together. Scandals, secrets and family shame bubble to the top, leaving Mma. Ramotswe to decide what needs to be told and what needs to stay buried.
While she ponders the thorny situation on the farm, she is approached by Mma. Soleti, the owner of Gaborone's latest beauty shop, who has received the feather of a ground hornbill bird, the traditional symbol of hate. In addition to the omen, vicious rumors are swirling about damaging skin treatments received at the establishment.
Needless to say, Mma. Soleti's business is suffering, and she fears she might not be able to keep the doors open.
Mma. Ramotswe has a more difficult time pinning down the culprit behind Mma. Soleti's problems. McCall Smith, who usually handles the novels' mysteries with deftness, flounders a bit here, tossing too many red herrings into the mix. We know who-done-it long before Mma. Ramotswe, which feels just a little bit awkward. She is usually one step ahead of us.
In the meantime, Mma. Makutsi's growing girth presents its own set of problems. Grace, who never fails to remind all in earshot that she scored an unprecedented 97% on her final exam at Botswana's secretarial college, is torn between two worlds.
In the old Botswana, she would remain in seclusion during her pregnancy, cared for by relatives – in this case, her husband's cranky aunt – who move in and stay forever.
But Grace is a modern girl who left her small village, went to college, looked after her dying brother and worked her way from Mma. Ramotswe's secretary to being her assistant. She also married for love. Her husband, Phuti Radiphuti, is the proud and successful owner of the Double Comfort Furniture Store.
Grace also has a serious affection for shoes. Some of them communicate with her, calling her "Boss," which doesn't sound nearly as unusual in the books as it does in this review.
Perhaps what sets this book apart from the previous 13 is the evolution of the characters' relationships.
Mma. Ramotswe's devoted husband, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, decides he's not modern enough and enrolls in a class led by one of McCall Smith's most disagreeable characters.
Embarrassed by the teacher, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, proud owner of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, decides to demonstrate his affection for Mma. Ramotswe in another way – by cooking dinner.
The fact that he doesn't know a pot from a piston only makes the scene more endearing.
Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni's apprentice, Charlie, a confirmed bachelor who clashes with Grace about almost everything, does an about-face when Itumelang Clovis Radiphuti is born. The tenderness between him and the infant is palatable.
The most interesting development, however, comes between Mma. Ramotswe and Mma. Makutsi. The two women have always been respectful of each other, but after Grace gives birth, they spend quality time together away from the office, each learning to appreciate the other's gifts.
"This is the best woman in Botswana," Grace says about Precious while they sit on the front porch, watching the sunset "as night embraced" the land they both hold so dear.
This may be my favorite book of the series because, at its heart, it's about friends – best friends.

During a chat with longtime coaching buddy Sean Miller last summer, Colorado coach Tad Boyle went out of his way to talk about how high the elevation is at the Buffs' home arena.
It was more of a friendly warning, the way Boyle explained it, than any sort of psychological ploy.
Both Colorado's Coors Events Center and Utah's Huntsman Center, which Arizona will visit this weekend during its first-ever Pac-12 Rocky Mountain swing, sit about a mile above sea level with air that Boyle insists is different.
"I'll be honest with you," Boyle said. "I don't think it's psychological. It's reality. The players feel it when they run up and down the floor. Wherever they're coming from, they feel it from the first time they work out.
"It's not a matter of trying to plant it in coaches' heads. There's less oxygen than at sea level and it's an advantage."
Well-traveled Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak, a former Utah Jazz player now in his first season at the 4,800-foot Huntsman Center, also swears it's true.
"Definitely," he said. "I played here and even when I came into this environment (as a coach), some of the workouts on the treadmills, there was a difference for me, and I know our guys feel it."
Experts suggest the high-altitude coaches may not be bluffing, though it's a smart strategy for them to get everyone else thinking about it.
"I think there is a mental component but clearly a physical impact as well," said Ben Honigman, director of the Altitude Medical Clinic at the University of Colorado.
Benjamin Levine, director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine and a professor at Texas-Southwestern, said there's "absolutely" no doubt there is some impact for basketball players at higher altitudes.
Having consulted with soccer governing body FIFA, Levine said the aerobic and stop-start requirements in basketball are similar to those of soccer.
In a paper published by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, Levine wrote that "altitude has a profound effect on exercise and sports performance" because aerobic performance is impaired and because the thinner air reduces drag resistance, which can affect the spin of a basketball or soccer.
Levine said basketball players may be thrown off by a ball that spins and arcs differently because of the lesser air resistance.
"The same push sends the ball farther and (the air) slows the curve," Levine said.
But basketball hasn't been studied as much as many Olympic sports, and there are two arguments that say it may not matter much for the Wildcats this weekend.
For one thing, says Ray Browning, an assistant professor of physical activity at the University of Southern Colorado, the elevations of the Utah and Colorado arenas are on the lower end of the altitudes that can impact performance.
For another, there is some anecdotal evidence in Denver that argues against it making any sort of difference.
"Professional teams come in and play the Nuggets and they'll do very, very well," Honigman said, chuckling. "So a lot of it is talent and a lot of it is fine-tune conditioning."
That's what Miller says he believes. Boyle is 27-3 at Coors Events Center since taking over the Buffaloes before last season but that mark, Miller says, has more to do with Boyle than the air.
"I'm sure if I was him, I'd bring it up constantly - it's to his advantage," Miller said. "Colorado is an excellent team probably more because of their coaching and talent than because of the altitude, I would think."
Miller said the topic of altitude didn't come up when his 14th-seeded Xavier team lost to third-seeded Gonzaga by only four points in the 2006 NCAA tournament and Arizona's recent history at high elevation also suggests no major trend.
Only at New Mexico (1-4) have the Wildcats routinely struggled since entering the Pac-12 in 1978. At high elevation in the NCAA tournament, the Wildcats are 7-5, with a mix of memories at Salt Lake City: They were shocked by Santa Clara there in the 1993 tournament and ousted by Wisconsin in 2000 but held off Gonzaga in an exhausting double-overtime effort in 2003.
While most of the NCAA tournament games were against teams that also came from low elevation, the Wildcats did beat a respectable Wyoming team at Albuquerque in 2002.
This season, the two Pac-12 coaches who have already made the Utah-Colorado swing downplayed the thin air.
Washington State coach Ken Bone, whose team lost to both the Utes and Buffaloes, said he didn't think "it made any difference at all," while Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said he was still uncertain.
"I'm still trying to find that out," Romar said. "I've played at altitude many times as a player and I remember for the first couple of minutes thinking 'Wow, this is crazy.' But the first seven minutes at Colorado we were up 14-5."
However, the Huskies wound up losing to Colorado, 87-69. Washington guard C.J. Wilcox, who hit three early shots to help put the Huskies up by nine, said after the game that he became winded by the altitude.
Of course, it's difficult to tell how much fatigue was really a factor for Wilcox and the Huskies: They've long had a tough time on the road and are 1-5 away from Seattle this season.
But Levine said recovery is particularly difficult at altitude, noting that an athlete typically needs three times the amount of time for rest as used in a sprint.
"The ability to do a single sprint is certainly unaffected," Levine said. "The first sprint is always faster. But the ability to do multiple competitive sprints is impaired."
The good news for Arizona is that the Wildcats will first play the weaker Utes tonight, then travel to Colorado via charter after the game. So they'll have plenty of time to get ready to face the Buffaloes - and the air - on late Saturday afternoon.
"They'll be better" Saturday, Levine said. "If Arizona goes to Colorado on Friday they'll be a little more acclimatized. Their shooting should be better and they should have more understanding what it takes."

What Sean Miller should do
Recommendations for high altitude basketball play by Benjamin Levine, director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine and a professor at Texas-Southwestern:
1) Practice shooting as soon as possible after arrival, to get accustomed to the different arc and spin of the ball in the thin air.
2) Substitute more often
3) Keep players hydrated and have extra oxygen on the sidelines.

Tasting for Tyler Celebrates 25 Years of Festive Fundraising
To mark the milestone, guests may enjoy tethered hot-air balloon rides during the event Friday June 7.
The Bucks County Community College Foundation proudly presents the 25th Annual Tasting for Tyler (formerly Tyler Tasting Party) from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Friday June 7 in historic Tyler Hall on the Newtown campus.
The fundraiser, which has become one of Bucks County's premiere food and wine events, features more than 30 restaurants, wineries, caterers, and bakeries throughout the first floor of the mansion and its formal gardens.
New participants this year are the Black Horse Tavern, Concerto Fusion Cuisine, Corner Bakery Café, Greenstraw Smoothies, Hamilton's Grill Room, Irish Rover Station House, O'Neill's Catering, Rosa Bianca, Steam Pub, the Tea Can Company, and Wycombe Publick House. Fresh flowers and live music make it a feast for the eyes and ears as well.
To celebrate the event's silver anniversary, from 6 to 8 p.m., guests will have the opportunity to take a ride in a hot air balloon that will be tethered on site. What's more, a professional auctioneer will solicit bids on vacation destinations, spas, restaurant gift certificates, Phillies tickets, and other items. In addition, a silent auction will feature hand-crafted jewelry, gift cards, and other indulgences.
The event raises funds for Historic Preservation scholarships and the restoration of Tyler Hall, the 83-year-old French-Norman mansion which served as the home of banker George F. Tyler and his wife, sculptress and patron of the arts Stella Elkins Tyler. The building became the cornerstone of Bucks County Community College when the two-year public college opened in 1965. The 60-room mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. To date, the Tyler Tasting Party has raised more than a half-million dollars for restoration projects and scholarships.
Tasting for Tyler is made possible through presenting sponsor First National Bank and Trust Co. of Newtown for the 12th consecutive year, and the work of a 20-person committee of volunteers. Other corporate sponsors are Comcast, Gasper Landscape Design & Construction, KCBA Architects, Newtown Rental Center, Stark & Stark, and Video Gold Productions. Free valet parking is available through a generous donation from Lawrence Lexus.
Tasting for Tyler takes place from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Friday June 7 on the campus at 275 Swamp Road, Newtown, Pa., 18940. Tickets are $125 each; purchase five tickets and get the sixth free.

The language we call Pidgin here in Hawai'i is actually a creole language which developed on plantations. There are many creole languages spoken around the world, including Jamaican Creole, Louisiana Creole, Papiamento (Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao), Tok Pisin (Papua New Guinea), and Haitian Creole.
In the nineteenth century in Hawai'i, Cantonese, Hawaiian, Portuguese, and English speakers came together in the context of sugar plantations. To communicate, they developed a simplified language (called a pidgin) which used the resources they had -- vocabulary from Hawaiian and English, and very basic grammar from Hawaiian, Cantonese, and Portuguese. When large numbers of Japanese immigrated in the 1880s, Pidgin English was already the main language for communication on plantations, so the Japanese workers learned it quickly and contributed their own vocabulary items to the mix. These plantation workers then had children who grew up with Pidgin English as their main language for interethnic communication, particularly in schools. Over time, the second and third generations used this language extensively, and the result was that it developed into the fully-fledged language that linguists call Hawai'i Creole. This language has its own distinct grammar which is entirely different from English. Though much of the vocabulary is borrowed from English, Hawaiian, and Japanese, the meanings are often quite different. So, the question is, why do we call this language Pidgin, even today? The answer is that even though Hawai'i Creole isn't technically a "pidgin," the original name has simply stuck with us since early plantation days.

A governess falls in love with the lord of the manner in 19th century England. When she finds that he is married, she flees the mansion and makes a new life for herself.
OK, I'm a guy, and some might think I'm not supposed to appreciate love stories as much as the distaff side. However, this one really touched me. I also have a fondness for this as it's one I remember from my original RMT listening days. It's an adaptation of the Charlotte Bronte classic (I saw it the other day for older kids at the Barnes and Noble children's section). Bronte was supposed to be an unusual lady but along with her sisters wrote some special novels. Jane Eyre was an orphan who's now a young woman. She's also a self-motivated lady, and is crossing the English countryside by herself on her way to a job as a governess. At once, she's aware of a horseman just about to pass her by on a road when his horse slips and falls on an icy patch. She helps him to his horse and he rides on. Turns out he owns the mansion where she's going to work. She also finds herself falling in love with him (he's played, again, in a fine job by Arnold Moss) and he with her. There are some other things in that house that are strange, though, as Jane hears shrieking noises in the vicinity of the attic that another woman in the mansion's staff says are coming from a maid who supposedly behaves strangely every so often. Jane and the rich man become engaged, but right before the wedding another man who's a friend of the rich man's says he can't marry her...he's already married. (Jane had a terrible night before the wedding, as she dreamt that a demon like creature was in her room, ripping apart her wedding dress and staring at her.) He is indeed already hitched, and he knows a lot more than Jane has been told about the shrieking lady...

Situated at the crossroads of 3 main expressways – East Coast Parkway, Pan Island Expressway and Tampines Expressway, Singapore EXPO is a mere 15-minute drive from the CBD and a 5-minute ride to Changi International Airport.
By Taxi
There are numerous taxis available in Singapore that offer reliable service. The taxi fare from the airport to Singapore EXPO is about S$15 and to the city about S$20, subject to surcharges.
By Train
Singapore EXPO has a dedicated MRT station next to Hall 6. Trains arrive every 5 minutes from Changi International Airport and Tanah Merah MRT station while it takes about 25 minutes from the city.

U.S. companies can access reliable information and personalized services at every step of the exporting process – from strategy and planning to financing and logistics to market entry and expansion to advocacy and dispute resolution.
Contact a local trade specialist to learn more about the full spectrum of export counseling services provided:
Trade barriers inhibit fair competition in export markets. Examples include high tariffs, investment restrictions such as local content requirements, weak enforcement of intellectual property rights, non-transparent regulations and licensing regimes, and burdensome certification requirements not required of domestic manufacturers, non-uniform application of customs procedures, lack of competitive bidding for foreign government tenders, provision of direct or indirect subsidies by a foreign government in favor of its domestic suppliers
Report a trade barrier to the U.S Department of Commerce's Office of Energy and Environmental Industries by filling out the online questionnaire. (Trade barrier inquiries remain private).
The Advocacy Center at the U.S. Department of Commerce helps to ensure that U.S. products and services have the best possible chance competing for foreign government tenders. Advocacy Center assistance entails the coordination of senior U.S. Government communication with foreign governments or government-owned corporations on behalf of U.S. businesses in a competitive bid contest.
Examples of advocacy assistance include:
The Advocacy Center also has liaisons to five multilateral development banks (World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Africa Development Bank and Asia Development Bank) to assist U.S. firms and to advocate on their behalf when they compete for tenders from these banks. The liaisons counsel U.S. companies on how to work with the banks and advocate on procurement and contracting issues to ensure fair and equal treatment for U.S. companies.
The U.S. national interest is the overall basis for determining the nature and extent of U.S. government support for a viable bid or proposal in connection with an international transaction. Please see the Advocacy Guidelines for more details.
Get started with your advocacy request by filing an Advocacy Questionnaire and Anti-Bribery Agreement with the Advocacy Center. Along with the questionnaire, the company must complete the Anti-Bribery Agreement, certifying that neither the company nor its affiliates will engage in bribery of foreign officials. Learn more about the Advocacy application process here.

USTDA is facilitating the creation of favorable business and trade environments for U.S.-based goods and services worldwide.
Reach out to USTDA regional staff directly to learn more about programs in markets of interest.
Opportunities to conduct USTDA-funded technical assistance and feasibility studies are usually advertised on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website. Links to relevant FBO announcements are posted on USTDA's website. USTDA-funded and U.S.-led feasibility studies link foreign project sponsors with U.S. businesses at the critical early stage when technology options and project requirements are being defined. These studies evaluate the technical, financial, environmental, legal and other critical aspects of infrastructure development projects that are of interest to potential lenders and investors. This specialized form of assistance is designed to provide the detailed professional analysis that major infrastructure investments need to move forward to financing and implementation, thereby opening new export opportunities for U.S. companies.

I have Guest and Login on the top right at http://dot.kr/x-test/layOut/02/ with strong.
I like to make the strong Guest and Login to the normal Guest and Login.
If I remove #guest-login strong in code below, I can get the result which is the normal Guest and Login but it breaks the layOut of the Guest and Login area
#guest-login span, [B]#guest-login strong[/B] {
border:1px solid #555;
How can I make the strong Guest and Login to the normal Guest and Login without breaking the layout?
The easiest way would be to remove the  tag from your HTML, but if you can't do that for some reason then just add font-weight:normal to that bit of the CSS.
The  tag is removed at http://dot.kr/x-test/layOut/03 which has 2 problems; the one is there is no background-color in the block of quest and login, and the other is the text "guest and login are not align-centered.
The result of it is good. Thank you for that.but the below code which is at http://dot.kr/x-test/layOut/03 is somewhat awkward.
Guest
Login
How can I replace the awkward code above with the same result of it?
before modified
after modified
Dont use CSS inline. It is awkward, and it really paint s you into a corner as far as specificity goes.
#guest-login span, #guest-login strong {
border:1px solid #555;
should do the trick.
Making strong first and back to normal later is not redundancy ?
STRONG indicates strong(er) emphasis is isn't meant for making text bold, were you actually wanting to make LABEL text for a form?

he Linux market share continues to flatline. Here's a piece on why. My explanation? Same as for a lot of things: People are morons, by and large. The article linked to mentions very good reasons that Linux should indeed not be adopted by others. But most of those reasons actually apply to other OS's as well, so why are THEY adopted? Most of the reasons people give for not even trying Linux are references to things that simply are not true.
There is another aspect of this phenomenon tht should be mentioned. We Linux users don't want the rest of you using Linux. Most of us formerly used Windows, and we were constantly being bugged by other Windows users to make their computers work. Now, we just say: "Oh, I use Linux. Would you like me to install it on your system?" and then kinda rub our runny nose with the back of our hand and snort while scratching our arm pit. Then the person goes away and never bothers us again for help with their computers.

I have m0n0wall 1.22 on a net4801, WAN, LAN, DMZ
I want to add OpenVPN for remote access, and I have a spare net4801
laying around. What is the best way to turn a net4801 into only an
OpenVPN server?
Would it make sense to use Peter Allgeyer's net48xx-1.21-ovpn1.img
version of m0n0wall as the OpenVPN server? Or use embedded pfSense?
I plan to NAT forward port 1194 to the OpenVPN box and allow remote
users access to the outer m0n0's LAN, (in the same manner as PPTP).
What is the simplest routing setup for this scenario?
Any help is appreciated.

When I graduated from law school, I got a job working for a big law firm, making great money. Little did I know that they were paying me well for a reason — the job stunk. I spent all day, every day, alone in the law library, reading case law and drafting motions.
So it is probably no wonder that within a year I was already plotting my escape. While still working at this unsatisfactory job, I began to interview every lawyer I knew who had successfully made the leap from employee to entrepreneur. The question I asked every one of them was: "Where do I get clients?" Here is what they told me (and what I have learned along the way):
This was some of the best advice I received. You can't just rely on one idea. The guy who explained this to me told me to make a list of 25 people that I knew that I could send a brochure to. That was one source. Did I have any clients from the firm who might want to hire me? That was two. Did I know any lawyers who could refer business to me? That's three. The idea is to think creatively and pursue all of your contacts.
It amazes me that many people open up shop without an advertising budget, assuming their great location (or great product or idea) would send clients their way. Not advertising is a major reason why businesses fail. Besides newspaper ads, try radio and the Yellow Pages. Lots of advertising, is usually key.
People love a bargain, and a job well done for a fair price can go a long way in securing a client base. Once you are established you can raise your fees, but not until then.
When I started my own law firm I found that I needed a hook that made me stand out. I began to put on free seminars for the public — bankruptcy seminars, living trusts, and so on. I would rent a room at the local Holiday Inn, advertise the seminar extensively, and people came, mostly because it was free. Many would later hire me to do their legal work. Develop a hook like this.
Customer service is key. In fact, Amazon.com bases much of its success on good customer service. If your customers are happy with the way you treat them, they're sure to come back.
Good luck. Although finding customers seems like the hardest part, if you offer your services/goods for a fair price, let people know you are out there (advertise!), and treat them well, you should have more customers than you can handle.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
I am glad that overall the structure of your eyes are OK. However, vision as we measure it on the Snellen chart is only one part of overall vision. There are corneal aberrations and contrast sensitivity that we do not measure routinely that can be affected.
Higher degree aberrations of the cornea are not something that you can see or treat easily. For instance, when some people have LASIK, their Snellen acuity is measured at 20/20, but they complain of poor vision. Some of that (when we measure on the wavefront scan) is caused by higher order aberrations of the cornea.
The same goes for contrast sensitivity. Both contrast and aberrations are also products of aging. Dry eyes can also cause corneal aberrations. Early macular degeneration can also cause contrast problems. Even though the Retinal specialist says that you do not have any membrane or edema, it doesn't mean you don't have a very early stage of degeneration that can manifest as contrast problems or color problems.
You put all that on top of glaucoma and that can complicate matters. I would treat the corneas for dryness with artificial tears. I would wear glasses with anti-reflective coating. I would also take vitamins (like Ocuvite) to help the macula as well.
Hope this helps and thank you.

Post subject: Fracdaddy14's 2014 Mock Offseason 2.0 (RIP 2013)
The 53-Man Roster was makes it in under the estimated $124m salary cap. Tom Coughlin retires after the season and neither coordinator is kept. Hakeem Nicks is franchised tagged and traded for a 2nd Round pick to a team needing a #1 WR and willing to give him $11 million/year (Oakland or Carolina might bite).
Head Coach- David Shaw
-If there is one NFL coach firmly on teams radars, its Shaw. He may have his choice of teams, but the Giants combination of having a QB with multiple Super Bowls and with organizational stability will be alluring. He bounced around the NFL as a positional coach before teaming with Harbaugh at San Diego and Stanford, so he has enough of a NFL resume.
Offensive Coordinator- Hue Jackson
-Jackson has been around coaching staffs with Shaw and has head coaching experience for Shaw to lean on.
Defensive Coordinator- Darren Perry
-Perry has been a hot name around college circles for a while, but doesnt have a big resume. Hes been the DB coach with the Packers. With experience in the 3-4 both playing and coaching, he would bring us tools to help the transition and we would give him more experience to use for future jobs.

QB- Eli Manning- $20,400,000

P- Steve Weatherford- $2,925,000
LS- Zak DeOssie- $1,150,00
RB- Toby Gerhart (3 years, $6 million)
- With Shaw as OC, Gerhart was a legit Heisman candidate. He could return to same coach and bring his toughness to the power-running game.
WR- Kyle Williams (1 year, $1.25 million)
- 2 year ago, he was the villain for the 49ers against the Giants in the NFC Championship game. Williams is a good KR/PR despite that play and is a decent WR too.
TE- Garrett Graham (1 year, $1.25 million)
- Sitting behind Owen Daniels, Graham will look for a one-year prove-it contract and to 2015 for a chance at a bigger contract.
OL- Alex Mack (5 years, $32.5 million)
- C is one of the most important positions on the OL and one of the hardest to develop. Mack has already proven to be a pro-bowl caliber C and should hit the open market. Developing our OL is an obvious priority and should start inside.
OL- Anthony Collins (1 year, $2.5 million)
- If there is a top-tier of backup OTs, Collins would be near the top. He has played well in multiple opportunities filling in for Cincinnati. With both OTs entrenched there, Collins could test the market to a team that has an opportunity to start.
LB- Arthur Moats (1 year, $1.25 million)
- Bills have bounced back and forth between 4-3 and 3-4 defenses over the last few years. Moats is ideally a backup/ST, but could get an opportunity to start at ILB in the Giants new look 3-4.
LB- Parys Haralson (2 years, $2.8 million)
- Another veteran of the 3-4. He is young and experienced enough to start and will understand the schemes.
DB- Alterraun Verner (3 years, $18 million)
- While not considered by many in the upper-tier of CBs, Verner is having an outstanding season. He is picking up 4 INTs and 8 Pass Deflections with a 36.4 Comp % against so far.
K- Dan Carpenter (1 year, $1 million)
- The typical veteran pickup at kicker. Josh Brown wont be back.
-(Giants trade theyre 1st Round Pick- #3ish, to the Cleveland Browns for their 1st Round Picks, #12ish and #27ish)
#1- Mike Evans- WR- Texas A&M- 65- 225
- Was a superstar playmaker for the Aggies and could leave with Manziel. Is massive, has enough speed, and should develop a quick connection with Eli.
#1- Kyle Van Noy- LB- BYU- 63- 235
- An instinctive OLB who make plays and a long-term star on the strong-side.
#2- James Hurst- OT- North Carolina- 66- 305
- Hurst has started since being a true freshman. He has a good combination of mental and physical aspects and technique to be a top-tier OT and immediate starter.
#2- Bishop Sankey- RB- Washington- 510- 203
- After Sankey shredded Stanford this year, Shaw knows all about him. He is a bowling ball RB who will get on the field immediately due to pass-catching and pass-blocking versatility.
#3- Yawin Smallwood- LB- UCONN- 62- 244
- A tackling machine and playmaker at UCONN. He is versatile and should compete to start immediately at ILB.
#4- Jaylen Watkins- CB- Florida- 60- 188
- Florida could have 3 CBs in this years draft. Watkins is a backup to the two top prospects, but is good in his own right. He is reliable with good size and skills.
#4- Arthur Lynch- TE- Georgia- 65- 254
- Lynch looks like a more-skilled version of the type of TE that Eli has turned into a solid players. With Shaw bringing in multiple TE packages, a TE will be more of a need.
#6- Spencer Long- OG- Wisconsin- 64- 315
- Long could go as high as Day 2, but injured his knee and is out for the year. His injury could give teams pause and move similar players above him.
#6- Hakeem Smith- DB- Louisville- 61- 180
- A solid run-defender with good instincts. Smith gives depth now and could be a future starter if Cooper doesnt develop as expected.
#7- Zack Kerr- NT- Delaware- 61- 322
- A prototypical space-eater NT that will need start adding to complete the move to 3-4.
#7- T.J. Jones- WR- Notre Dame- 60- 195
- Another player Shaw has seen a lot of. Jones played well despite dealing with one QBs growing pains and anothers horribly inaccurate passes. He emerged as a reliable target and leader.

- Looking at the influx of top front 7 prospects on the edges, it is obvious many fit a 3-4 mold. Other than Clowney, there isnt an obvious top 4-3 DE. Players like Anthony Barr, Van Noy, Vic Beasley, etc fit best in a 3-4 pass-rushing role. 4-3 DEs are getting expensive because the really great ones are getting rare.
- Shaw has been talked enough around here and is an obvious candidate. Sometimes Head Coachs are at one place so long their talk becomes repetitive. TC has done very well by the Giants, but its time for a change.
- Nicks is a hard decision. With a major cap rise projected in 2015, he could sign for a projected $11 million/year with the Giants and have his hit be low this year. Then again, he would still be expensive, always has nagging injuries, and still has great value. Considering Harvin netted a 1, 3, 7, and conditional pick, we can tag Nicks and reasonably expect a 2nd Round pick.
- I dropped Baas, but left Snee. The reasoning is that I dont like changing more than 2 starting OL in one season. I get this OL is terrible, but Snee will just have one more season and we can ease in a replacement in 2015. Baas carries more dead money but can be designated a post-June 1 and give us half that money back. Snee is a leader and fits next to Mack rather than making Baas a G.
- A note about Veldheer. He is a great player and will be worth the roughly $9 million/year he gets. But there is no way he hits the open market. The Raiders are projected $60 million under the cap and will easily re-sign or tag Veldheer long before the Giants have a shot.
- Rolle is owed a lot of money, but can be cut for much less. He is a leader in the locker room and will help provide stability during a coaching/scheme transition. Offer him around $6 million, which is far more than he will get in the open market. Kiwi would be a similar situation and makes sense in a 3-4 given his history as a 4-3 elephant SLB.
Well, here it is. Im sure things will change, but this is my best shot right now. Let me know what you think.

Evans is an absolute monster. If we do get rid of Nicks, this is a very sexy way to get the fan base excited.

I like it. If we can somehow trade down and get another 1st round pick, I'd be all for that. This is supposed to be a good draft class. You certainly have the right idea in free agency. The Giants are going to have many holes to fill on the roster, and will likely be active in free agency.

Yep. Not much of a fan of getting a WR in the 1st when we have Randle, and Cruz, but Mike Evans is definitely something else.

Are Browns trading up for Clowney in this scenario? I feel like they only move up for a QB, if so who is it?

I'm assuming our pick is high, but not high enough for Clowney. Giants and JR wouldn't pass him up anyway. Definitely, a team trading up would be targeting a QB or possibly Barr/ Matthews. Cleveland would be for a QB. While the Giants wouldn't know or care which one, Hundley would best fit Cleveland's vertical passing offense.

Besides Jordan Matthews in Round 2, Evans is the only WR I'd target in the top 2 Rounds. He could be an absolute beast and isn't a "project" like many his size who just get by on that. I can't see Watkins fitting this team's style that would justify our first pick. And Marquise Lee seems off this year. He went from a heisman candidate to non-existant. If his knee injury is bad enough, why does he keep playing a half then sitting out the rest? Just rest it and come back healthy.

Thanks. I think, unlike last year where the Giants were tight against the cap, we have some cap room to play with. I firmly believe JR won't go hog wild and blow it on every FA possible. Instead of trying to pick out just vet minimum players, he can make a splash or two and pick up some good, cheap pieces. Bringing in a Parys Haralson or Arthur Moats type will help bring experience in a 3-4 while being solid contributors. If a player has trouble adjusting, they can fill in. Hopefully, there will be more to pick from. I haven't even looked at potential cuts from other teams.

I'm not buying into the Mike Evans hype train. He gets literally no separation, in college. His route running is not as good as people make it to be, he isn't quick and doesn't have great explosions out of his breaks. I just don't like him.
And of course he has his positives, as does every prospect (for the most part). He's a very good jump ball receiver. He's got one of the most ridiculous catch radius' I've seen in a long time. He's a QB friendly wideout. By that I mean, when the play goes south he's normally the quickest person to notice, and as a result makes a lot of plays where he becomes a safety net in a dire situation.
Also the one positive that I don't see people saying a lot, but should be. Is when it's 3rd & 10+, he thrives off the getting the ball short and just forcing his way to the first down.
I just don't see him being as good as everyone thinks he will be though.
Someone who get's harped for his speed, but is probably a lot faster than Evans. Is Allen Robinson. The more I watch him, the more I see Brandon Marshall. I just don't know what it is, but some teams don't know how to slow down Robinson. He's too gifted. Also he in my honest opinion is the most complete wideout in this class. He's got sub-4.4 speed, I expect him to run in at least the low 4.5's. He's got excellent jump ball skills, one of, if not, the best in the class at highpointing the ball. He breaks tackles on a consistent basis, he is a hugely underrated YAC monster. Has some really soft hands, just seems to make all the plays with more than one DB covering him. He's so underrated on FF, but he's going to be an absolute stud.

Steelers' top pick Jones eager for opportunity
The Steelers could have gone in any direction during the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday. Instead, their compass pointed them toward an outside linebacker who wowed them at his pro day.
Jarvis Jones didn't blow away general manager Kevin Colbert and coach Mike Tomlin with his speed or athleticism. Instead, it was his tireless motor and passion for the game.
"When you watch him play, I don't care what he runs," Colbert said. "He's a football player in every phase of the game, and that was what was really exciting."
The Georgia product possesses many of the skills that enabled James Harrison and Joey Porter to excel on a defense that demands a great deal from its linebackers against the run and pass.
Lawrence Timmons and Larry Foote were the Steelers' top tacklers in 2012, totaling 113 and 106, respectively. Also, Timmons added a team-best three interceptions.
"It means a lot to me, and I want to take full advantage, and I want to maximize my opportunities," said Jones, whose history of injuries and poor pre-draft workouts jeopardized his draft status. "I'm excited because everything has fallen in place for me.
"I love to win. It's something they take really seriously around here."
Jones, who might be asked to add weight to his 245-pound frame, was one of the best pass-rushers in college football. He lined up at defensive end and linebacker and registered a school-record 14 1⁄2 sacks last season.
"There's been a few times where he put his hand on the ground, but predominantly, he's a two-point stance player," Tomlin said. "He also plays a little bit of rover for them, where he'll stack and play at the linebacker level and in some sub package stuff like we've done with our outside linebackers."
Jones, one of the best defensive players in the SEC the past two seasons, will arrive at rookie orientation next weekend with lofty expectations. Already, he's being considered as a legitimate contender to replace Harrison, now with the Bengals.
There's little doubt Jones will contend for playing time. However, he expects to duel with fourth-year linebacker Jason Worilds for the starting outside linebacker job opposite LaMarr Woodley.
"I won't compare myself to anybody," said Jones, who has spoken with defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to gauge his expectations. "I think I have a style of my own. I want to come in here and give it everything I got. I'll sacrifice everything to be great.
"I'm just coming in to do what my coaches ask me to do. I'm trying to get on (Harrison's) level but trying to make a name for myself. I want to be a good teammate."
Worilds, though, welcomes the challenge he's likely to face when training camp begins in July at St. Vincent.
"There's always going to be competition, and that's part of the game," Worilds said. "I've been preparing myself for whatever it takes for me to compete."
The Steelers were sold on Jones, in part, because of his willingness to compete. Georgia outside linebacker and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham shouldered Jones with plenty of responsibility and allotted him the freedom to capitalize on his instincts and aggressiveness.
Tomlin, too, was impressed with how the 17th overall pick adjusted to the Bulldogs' defensive scheme after spending a year at Southern Cal.
"He's been through a lot," Tomlin said. "He's been to the West Coast and back. He's dealt with an injury that could've potentially put his career in question.
"Kevin and I remarked at his pro day that he moved around then like a veteran player. He's going to be a rookie, and he'll go through the same thing rookies go through."
Jones is looking forward to the challenge.
"I think I just made a great fit with the Pittsburgh Steelers," Jones said. "I'm just trying to stay on the positives and enjoy it and get to work."
The work begins for Jones at rookie minicamp and orientation. The heavy lifting begins at training camp.

Ethnic restaurants provide a taste of variety for everyone not lucky enough to travel frequently or secretly live in the United Nations food court. Have a far-flung feast with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $7.50 for three Groupons, each good for three tacos (a $15 total value)
- $9.49 for two Mexican entrees redeemable after 3 p.m. (up to a $9.50 value each; up to a $19 total value)

The menu includes cilantro- and onion-toppped tacos filled with carnitas, lengua, or asada, along with entrees such as ground-beef sopes, pozole, and nachos piled with ground beef, beans, and jalapeños.

La Mex Taqueria
The food truck turned restaurant known as La Mex Taqueria may be the brainchild of George Azar, but in truth, the eatery is a family affair. Azar was originally inspired to open a taco truck by his grandfather, who sold tacos in his native Mexico City. Azar's uncle Rogelito, meanwhile, put his heart and soul into a restaurant that never got off the ground. Even Azar's choice of business partner had familial ties—Pete A. Cornejo, Jr. is Azar's brother-in-law, and Cornejo's father, aunt, and grandfather are all steeped in the culinary world. With all these experts by his side, it's no wonder that Azar finds it easy to infuse mouthwatering flavor into his signature tacos.
He begins with a double layer of corn tortillas, which he fills with a choice of nine meats ranging from standards of chicken and grilled steak to the more exotic tongue, tripe, and beef cheek. After sprinkling on cilantro and onions, he lets his customers decide the spiciness with the shop's self-serve salsa bar. The tacos headline a menu of Mexican staples, including burritos, ceviche, sopes, breakfast specialties, and fresh guacamole that's only made the minute it's ordered. As customers savor their meals with imported Mexican beers, three flat-screen TVs show the sporting events and critically acclaimed static channels of the moment.

Taylorsville • Shelby Richards and her Riverton teammates draw a goldfish on their inner wrist to remind them to believe in themselves, that they are for real.
The Silverwolves made some golden moments with a 54-47 overtime victory against Fremont in the semifinals of the Class 5A girls' state tournament Friday evening.
"Our motto this year is that we were called 'Fool's Gold,' " said Richards, who scored a game-high 16 points. "We wear fish on our wrists, and in every game we look down and remind ourselves we are not fool's gold. We are gold. We can do anything as long as we do it together."
That includes outscoring Fremont 9-2 in overtime and forcing four turnovers in the extra period to reach Saturday's championship game against Layton.
Riverton guard Jamie Smith turned in a 24-carat effort that included a 35-foot 3-pointer that beat the third-quarter buzzer and grabbing a rebound among four Fremont players after her missed free throw with 34.6 seconds left in overtime.
"It's something you always dream about, right," Smith said about her long-distance basket. "I got lucky to get the ball and shot it up."
Smith's basket put Riverton (21-3) up nine points the largest lead by either team. But Fremont (13-11) stormed back and tied it on Shelbee Molen's fourth 3-pointer of the game with 51 seconds left in regulation.
Richards scored 10 points after halftime, including two free throws that broke a 47-47 tie and gave Riverton the lead for the final time.
Riverton employed a box-and-one defense against Molen, who scored 14 points. But Fremont was hurt by Amanda Wayment's foul trouble she went to the bench with two fouls less than two minutes into the game.
"We just had to buckle down on defense," Smith said. "That's what we're known for, our defense. Offense comes from our defense, and we buckled down on their 3-point shooter and their posts."
Senior forward Whitney Saunders scored 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Riverton, which outrebounded Fremont 34-25.
And that means Richards and her teammates will break out the gold pens once more this season.
"I'm too excited," Richards said about reaching the final. "I can't even talk right now, I'm so excited. It means everything."

Luca Badoer was unfortunate because he got 'Look how bad you are' last year
Baldi…because well I'm immature.

He was just in F1 Racing so Zsolt Baumgartner
Francious Cevert was just cool.
I always liked "Gilles" but the driver became so popular that he didn't even need a last name for people to recognise him and that's hard to come across.

23rd June 2010, 20:44 at 8:44 pm
I first heard of Desmond Titterington on F1Rejects' podcast, when they did a "Top 10 British sounding names" feature :D
Some of the others I can remember off the top of my head.. Archie Scott-Brown and the best one: Robin Montgomorie-Charrington, haha…
23rd June 2010, 21:34 at 9:34 pm
Haha yeah I remember that Rob, there were some great ones there!
Here's the link for anyone who's interested, it's on the 2006 British GP edition. I'd encourage everyone who hasn't heard them before to try one of their podcasts, they're great
23rd June 2010, 21:46 at 9:46 pm
"Francious Cevert was just cool."
Agree, quite possibly the coolest name ever.

Nothing can be quite as unique as:
Wolfgang Alexander Albert Eduard Maximilian Reichsgraf Berghe von Trips
23rd June 2010, 21:55 at 9:55 pm
I think the most common F1 name is probably Sebastian Hill… or Nico Schumacher
23rd June 2010, 22:25 at 10:25 pm
That's why his friends called him "Taffy" Ratboy.
23rd June 2010, 22:29 at 10:29 pm
Am not surprised Jagged, Bet the worst person in the crowd was the one that shouted "Give us a W" lol
23rd June 2010, 22:58 at 10:58 pm
von Trips was nicknamed 'The Count' wasn't he? That's got me thinking about other driver nicknames. Here's a few off the top of my head:
M Schumacher= Schumi/ The Rainmeister
R Schumacher/ Vettel= Baby Schumi
Massa= Felipe Baby
Fisichella= Fisi
Baumgartner= HWNSNBM
Hakkinen= The Flying Finn
Coulthard= DC
Prost= The Professor
N Rosberg= Britney
Raikkonen= The Iceman
Heidfeld= The Beardinator
(ok so I made that last one up!)
Can anyone think of any others?

New York State Senate Moves to Save Conservation Funding
Senator Bill Larkin Concerned Federal Matching Funds in Jeopardy
The New York State Senate this week passed legislation (Senate bill S.5921) sponsored by Senator Mark Grisanti which would preserve New York's federal matching funds for two key conservation programs geared for fish and wildlife restoration. It will bar the transfer of state funds from any account contingent upon a matching requirement for the receipt of federal revenues.
"We cannot afford to lose the federal matching funds for these vital conservation programs," said Senator Bill Larkin (R-C, Cornwall-on-Hudson). "New York stands to lose close to twenty million dollars in federal funding without this legislation. New York State does not have the means to make up for this reduction in funding and we cannot allow these programs to lapse or deteriorate to a point where it will take years to bring them back to the standards we enjoy now," said Larkin.
Under current law, the NYS Division of Budget can transfer excess funds from any special revenue fund to the general fund. This includes the New York State Conservation Fund which serves as a required match guarantee for federal funds currently available to New York State pursuant to the federal Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act and the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act. If this legislation is not signed into law, New York stands to lose $9.13 million from the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act and $11.22 million from the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act.
This legislation now heads to the New York State Assembly for action.
