Illegal parking on the pavement has become such a problem in Whitnash, that the town's neighbourhood police team has placed it as an issue of priority to tackle.
Police community support officer Steven Sample said that because parking on the pavement is illegal, those who continue to do so are being issued with parking tickets - and the Whitnash police team are no longer taking any excuses for such parking.
Among those most affected by the issue are people with pushchairs and prams and those who use mobility scooters, like Coppice Road resident Bob Parkes (pictured), who is disabled and depends on travelling by mobility scooter for independance.
He said: "The other day, a pizza delivery man parked his car completely on the pavement outside the Plough and Harrow pub. I had to sit and wait for him to come back before I could get past.
"On another occasion, I had to ride on the main road in Tachbrook Road because I could not get past a people carrier parked on the pavement. It's dangerous.
"I have seen people with prams having problems as well. This is not just happening in Whitnash, but all over the place."
Pcso Sample said: "At the Whitnash community forum, this has been identified as a priority issue for the town, because we have had so many complaints about it.
"Particularly around school-run times, people with buggies and mobility scooters are really struggling.
"We have issued tickets and we will carry on doing so, but people are saying that they did not know about this because they do not live in Whitnash.
"But it is illegal to park on the pavement. It is obstructing the highway."
He added: "The message is that cars are for the road - that's where they belong. The pavement is for pedestrians, who should not have to walk on the road."

GBP/USD (a 4-hour chart)
General Overview
The British pound was the most vulnerable currency at yesterday's session. Selling the pound leveled all its last Friday gains and almost returned to levels at which it was a week ago. The currents doubts about recovery processes are not so encouraging than they used to be harming the British currency in times of uncertainty are pushing the market to sales.
The rising trendline 1.6340 is a sufficiently strong resistance from which the pair is likely to rebound.
The northern movement is canceled after the pair broke the cloud downwards. The price is below the cloud and above the Chinkou Span.
The downward movement will be in a force as long the price is below the Kijun-sen. Kijun-sen and Tenkan-Sen are directed horizontal. Tenkan-Sen is crossing Kijun-sen down.
Bollinger bands indicator is broadening.
The MACD histogram is in a negative zone, showing a decrease.
Trading recommendations
Breakthrough of the level 1.6465 was on the rising volume, this is a good signal for the British pound growth.
The nearest growth target is the intermediate resistance level 1.6525. Still if the pair returns to a decrease it will go to 1.6313.

Pressure gage ranging and accuracy
Dear Control Engineering: I was reading the recent article on differential pressure sensors, and I had a question coming out of that discussion. The author made the following statement: "The pressure in the line may be upwards of 1,000 psi, but the pressure drop is usually very small. Using two separate gage pressure devices and subtracting the readings would result in the combined error of two devices having wide measuring spans. The result would likely be a very poor measurement seldom suitable for control." Could you explain that in greater detail?
That statement was made in the context of using a DP (differential pressure) sensor to measure flow using an orifice plate flowmeter. His point is that a single DP device is better than trying to do the same job with two pressure gages and calculating the difference.
Here's why: Using his example, let's say your process line is running with a pressure of 1,000 psi, and you have an orifice plate. Under normal operating conditions, the pressure drop across the plate is 5 psi. That means if everything is perfect, the upstream gage reads 1,000 psi and the downstream gage reads 995 psi. For appropriate ranging, both gages are identical with a scale of 0-1,500 psi. The problem emerges when you consider the accuracy of the two devices. If they have an accuracy rating of ±1% full scale, that means any reading can be high or low by 1% of the full scale, or 15 psi. So the first gage could indicate 1,000 psi as anything from 985 to 1,015 and still be in tolerance. Similarly, the second gage could indicate 995 psi as anything from 980 to 1,010 and still be in tolerance. Do you see the problem? You'll never be able to know when your pressure drop is, in fact, 5 psi.
The differential pressure device, if it has a range of 0 to 15 psi, will give you a much higher accuracy since 1% of 15 is 0.15 psi.
Now, the tricky part is making sure you're gage isn't exposed to 1,000 psi on one side and 0 on the other. This could damage it, so you will have to ensure that the device won't see pressure level imbalances outside of its ability to withstand them.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Anonymouswrote a review of Stoic Bombshell FZ Pant - Men's on November 26, 2012
meh - typical first year stoic issues
Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Typical Stoic - well built, good value for the construction and quality, light, cut is a little long - I'm 6'2 (33" inseam) and had to pull the larges up to Urkel levels for them to not drag. Also in what seems to be typical stoic fashion, the first iteration of these just aren't dialed. They lack what I think are a couple key features for making them a good all purpose pair of pants but they might do well for touring and/or mountaineering (btw nobody doing these activities wants pants that are this long).
1. No hand pockets. I like a place to keep my keys/change, wallet etc. when wearing my pants to and from the mountain. The two dinky cargo pockets just aren't going to cut it and i never really trust cargo pockets with a vertical zipper
2. No mesh lined vents. Really the only venting is on the full zip, which might seem fine, but i'm guessing is pretty useless if you actually want to ski with them slightly open.
I'll be trading these in for the bibs. Didn't really see the need to spend the extra $ for the bibs but will give them a shot since I've had good experiences with most the stoic gear I own.

Is Accountability Part of the Change Agenda
As early as April last year, candidate Obama stated his commitment to investigate and, if the facts support it, prosecute those who perpetrated acts of torture during the Bush Administration. In August, the commitment to prosecute if appropriate appeared to remain intact, but days after the election had already fallen from favor, though a commitment to truth appeared to persist.
As the burdens of pragmatism, or perhaps appeasement, have mounted, President-Elect Barack Obama ("PEBO") appears all but to have abandoned even the possibility of an investigation.
More thoughts after the jump.
PEBO's exchange with George Stephanopoulos on This Week last week appears to tell the story:
STEPHANOPOULOS: The most popular question on your own website is related to this. On change.gov it comes from Bob Fertik of New York City and he asks, "Will you appoint a special prosecutor ideally Patrick Fitzgerald to independently investigate the greatest crimes of the Bush administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping."
OBAMA: We're still evaluating how we're going to approach the whole issue of interrogations, detentions, and so forth. And obviously we're going to be looking at past practices and I don't believe that anybody is above the law. On the other hand I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards. And part of my job is to make sure that for example at the CIA, you've got extraordinarily talented people who are working very hard to keep Americans safe. I don't want them to suddenly feel like they've got to spend all their time looking over their shoulders and lawyering.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So, no 9/11 commission with Independence subpoena power?
OBAMA: We have not made final decisions, but my instinct is for us to focus on how do we make sure that moving forward we are doing the right thing. That doesn't mean that if somebody has blatantly broken the law, that they are above the law. But my orientation's going to be to move forward.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So, let me just press that one more time. You're not ruling out prosecution, but will you tell your Justice Department to investigate these cases and follow the evidence wherever it leads?
OBAMA: What I — I think my general view when it comes to my attorney general is he is the people's lawyer. Eric Holder's been nominated. His job is to uphold the Constitution and look after the interests of the American people, not to be swayed by my day-to-day politics. So, ultimately, he's going to be making some calls, but my general belief is that when it comes to national security, what we have to focus on is getting things right in the future, as opposed looking at what we got wrong in the past.
I am on record with my sympathy, both practical and normative, for excusing many of those who carry out the directives of an abusive regime, but I am not at all persuaded that the same argument would extend to those who, while in service of a country whose core values hold sacrosanct respect for basic human rights and the laws of war, were principals or close accessories in acts of torture, even if they did so under the direct authority of a Presidential directive or wrapped in the thin tatters of highly suspect legal advice.
I am more sympathetic with claims that specific circumstances may have demanded the use of harsh interrogation techniques or, perhaps, torture. The affirmative defense of necessity is, after all, clearly established; and I certainly allow that a particular agent may well have done the right thing, all things considered, if he engaged in torture in the good faith and objectively reasonable belief that it was necessary to stop an imminent terrorist attack. However, that sympathy maintains faith in the rule of law. Necessity is an argument for a jury based on the facts of a particular case, and cannot ground either a prospective policy in favor of torture or an uncritical retrospective default amnesty.
Paul Krugman has expressed his concerns with PEBO's new inclinations toward oblivion, but one is left to wonder "Whence the shift?"
One account traces PEBO's changed thinking to a meeting with outgoing CIA Director, General Michael Hayden. Hayden has argued publicly that where CIA officers engaged in acts of torture or aided and abetted torture with an apparent nod from the Bush Administration, "[we] have no right to ask a guy to bet his kids' college education on who's going to win the next off-year election." That, of course, sounds like an order-following defense, though cast politically rather than legally. Some outlets also are reporting that Hayden all but threatened Obama that any investigation would result in a strike by line intelligence officers. (I heard something similar on NPR, but cannot find a definitive link—guidance in comments most welcome). That is a maneuver reminiscent of the protests by the Argentine Military that led to both the Full Stop Law and the Due Obedience Law. Of course, these policies inverted the proper relationship between the military and civilian leadership, broke the promise of Nunca Mas,
violated international human rights law, and ultimately were revoked in 2003.
While I am happy to be persuaded otherwise, I find it hard to identify a solid distinction between the Argentine oblivion and failing to investigate, and where appropriate prosecute, violations of law perpetrated under the Bush Administration. As to the message sent by an investigation to those who bravely sacrifice to serve in the intelligence agencies, I think it is clear: You are asked to serve because of your intelligence, skill, and bravery; you choose to serve out of honor. None of these should be left on the dais when you take your oath.

Parker boys fall on road
MADISON--Janesville Parker's boys basketball team has fallen on hard times.
The Vikings lost their third straight Friday night as Madison East pulled away early in a 67-31 Big Eight Conference win.
Parker (2-6, 1-5) trailed 20-8 after one quarter and 34-16 at half.
"We're just not playing very well right now," Parker coach Ryan Masterson said. "As well as we played early in the season, we've really struggled, especially on the offensive end, the last couple of games.
"I can't fault our effort because we continue to play hard. The problem is we've fallen behind right away the last two games and can't recover. We just don't have any rhythmn on offense."
Senior point guard Adam Thompson led the Vikings with 10 points.
Parker plays a nonconference game at Beaver Dam at 1 p.m. today. The game was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. but was moved to the afternoon due to the winter storm watch for the area.

SHANGHAI, March 19 (Reuters) - Chinese stocks took a break from a six-day rally on Thursday, when most Asian stock markets had solid gains after the Federal Reserve indicated it won't start raising U.S. interest rates for some time.
The China market, which is largely insulated from global capital markets due to tight capital controls, gave muted response to the Fed's remarks.
On Thursday, the mainland market saw a correction in financial stocks but gains in industrial companies as investors bet on fresh government stimulus to support the struggling manufacturing sector.
Analysts said there are signs that China could see a resumption of its recent bull run.
Last week, net inflows into securities deposit accounts totalled 818.7 billion yuan ($132.17 billion), the highest weekly increase on record, while 1.38 million new stock trading accounts opened during the first two weeks of March, exceeding February's total.
The CSI300 index of the largest listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen fell 0.2 percent, to 3,839.74, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.2 percent, to 3,582.27 points.
Among the most active stocks in Shanghai were Bank of China , down 1.2 percent to 4.28 yuan; Hainan Airline , down 0.2 percent to 4.32 yuan and China State Construction, up 4.0 percent to 6.82 yuan.
In Shenzhen, BOE Technology, down 1.5 percent to 3.83 yuan; TCL Corp, up 0.7 percent to 5.83 yuan and Pangang Group, up 1.3 percent to 3.78 yuan were among the most actively traded.
Total volume of A shares traded in Shanghai was 53.6 billion shares, while Shenzhen volume was 31.1 billion shares. (Reporting by Samuel Shen and Pete Sweeney; Editing by Richard Borsuk)

Habitat for Humanity of Montezuma County held its annual meeting on Nov. 15 at the First National Bank of Cortez. Elaine Bridges from Osprey Packs presented the affiliate with a check for $2,575, representing a portion of the proceeds from Osprey's recently held Locals' Sale. She said the sale was a great success, and this donation is one way that Osprey "gives back" to the community. These funds will be used for new and ongoing Habitat programs.
Attendees got a recap of the projects Habitat completed this year and a preview of new programs for next year. The local organization completed six "A Brush with Kindness" projects in which volunteers helped local homeowners needing assistance to spruce up the exteriors of their homes. Detailed information on these projects can be found on Habitat's website (http://habitatmontezuma.org/). President Gary Harding also shared plans to open a resale store in the future, specializing in building supplies and furniture. An resale outlet would provide sustainable income for Habitat, allowing the affiliate to take on larger local projects.
This has been a very productive year for Habitat for Humanity of Montezuma County. To get involved, visit the website and submit a contact form or call 565-8327 and leave a message. For people interested in donating to the local Habitat, contributions can be made on the website using PayPal or checks can be sent to the local office at P.O. Box 1261, Cortez, CO 81321. Donations made to Habitat International do not go to your local affiliate. Building materials, tools, furniture, appliances and other usable items can also be donated - call 565-8327 to schedule a drop off or pick up.

Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
In Texas do I file for divorce first are seek the attorney general for child support?
1 Answer from Attorneys
If you file for divorce then the child support will be included in the divorce process.
If you do the c.s. first then the TX A G will still be involved in your divorce and must sign-off on the divorce. Once they get involved, they will be "involved" in your family's life "forever". I suspect that you won't enjoy that! I usually recommend that you avoid the TX A G office if at all possible.
So, I'd avoid going to the TX A G. It won't speed up your divorce and in fact could slow down the final divorce since you will have to have someone in the TX A G office "sign" the Final Decree of Divorce.
It appears you live in Harris County, TX.
I recommend attorney Patricia Bushman at 713-807-9405. She takes payment plans. I rent space in her office. Her first appointment is free. Tell her that I sent you!
You can always email me at [email protected] if you have any other questions.
My office phone is 713-847-6000.
I only mediate these days.
Good luck!

General: anthro
An anthro (short for anthropomorphic, meaning "human-shaped"), in the context of this site and the furry fandom in general, is a non-human animal with a human-like shape. Generally speaking, anthros stand upright and have small heads and hands relative to their body size, long limbs, and a well-developed physique. Anthros are often drawn with features usually thought of as human, such as long hair on the head, or clothing.
Anthros alone are not usually allowed on WildCritters, but, in a borderline case, if a particular post is thought to be cute enough, and the image is of a high-enough quality, we'll probably let it slip. (Just don't let it happen too often.)
As a tag, [code]anthro[/code] should be added to any post where the image prominently features an anthro character.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate costs for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $6.4 million compared to $7.5 million in the prior-year period. For the year, corporate expenses totaled $23.5 million versus $22.6 million in 2004.
Pre-opening and Development Costs. During the quarter, the Company incurred $3.3 million of pre-opening and development costs associated primarily with its St. Louis projects, versus $4.0 million in the 2004 period primarily for LAuberge du Lac and, to a lesser extent, the St. Louis projects.
For the year, pre-opening and development costs were $29.6 million, compared to $14.4 million in 2004. This reflected the openings of the LAuberge du Lac facility and the Argentina facility in May and July 2005, respectively, and the ongoing development of the St. Louis projects.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. The Company refinanced its bank credit facility in December 2005, increasing its size and flexibility and reducing its pricing. Although the refinancing was structurally and economically positive for the Company, it resulted in a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the prior facility of $2.4 million in the period. The Company has had a series of such refinancings in recent years, as its credit position has improved and it has taken advantage of lower interest rates and positioned itself to fund construction of LAuberge, the St. Louis projects, and the three expansions of existing properties. As a result, there was also a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the fourth quarter of 2004 totaling $3.5 million. For the years 2005 and 2004, such debt extinguishment on refinancing charges were $3.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively.
Discontinued Operations. As noted, the Company is in the process of selling its California card clubs. California law effectively does not permit a public company to operate card clubs. Hence, the Company for many years had leased these card clubs to a third-party operator. In 2004, the Company helped sponsor a voter initiative that would have permitted card clubs to offer slot machines. The measure was heavily opposed by Native American tribal casinos in California, which funded an extensive media campaign, and the measure was defeated. The Company determined that the upside of ownership of such leased facilities was limited and that it would prefer to focus its resources on businesses that it can manage directly. Furthermore, because of the value of its California real estate positions, the Company believes it can obtain a relatively high price relative to the rental income generated by these facilities. Hence, as of December 31, the card clubs have been reclassified as a business held for sale and past results show it as discontinued operations. The Company hopes to close the sale of the card clubs during the first half of 2006.
Income Tax Expense/Benefit. During the 2005 fourth quarter, the Company recorded net federal income tax credits of approximately $1.6 million relating to wage continuation payments to workers displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, approximately $752,000 of which related to wages for Casino Magic Biloxi.
During the 2005 third quarter, the Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $9.8 million associated with its Belterra operations. Belterra generated losses in its first periods after its opening in 2000. Such losses would ordinarily create a tax benefit to the income statement. The Company fully reserved for the income tax benefits for Indiana state income tax purposes as the realization of such benefits was deemed uncertain. Belterra has shown a remarkable turnaround in recent years, assisted by a guestroom addition completed in 2004. Meanwhile, Indiana courts have taken an unusual position that, under Indiana law, gaming taxes are not deductible in determining net income for Indiana state income taxes. Between the improvement in operations and the tax rulings, management now believes Belterra is likely to someday incur state income taxes and therefore utilize the benefits. As a result, the Company reversed approximately $9.8 million of valuation allowance for its Indiana state income tax Net Operating Loss carryforwards.

Since their inception in 2013, what are people's experience of Local Eye Health Networks in England?
Have they been inclusive with their membership? Have certain professions been excluded to the detriment of public health commissioning and eye health pathways?
And have they been a force for the better - lifting standards of care and commissioning for patients in communities?
BIOS is conducting a survey with Head Orthoptists during the first week of October to get their views.
Don't know where your LEHN or who to contact? Here is the list kindly updated regularly by LOCSU to help key_local_contacts_for_lehns_v24,_jul16.pdf
Examples of good practice LEHNs
We know that in London the group has a wide membership and a document has produced: Eye Health Network for London: Achieving Better Outcomes. This report describes a more co-ordinated approach to the commissioning and delivery of eye health and sight loss services.
The main recommendations have been produced through the London Network working groups, although along with the Portfolio of Indicators, many will have broader recognition and implications outside of London.
And Angela Henderson, Chair – North East & Cumbria LEHN posted this blog update on the NHS England site https://www.england.nhs.uk/north/angela-henderson/
The Royal College of Ophthalmology (RCOphth) strongly recommends orthoptist led UK National Screening programme for children. The BIOS and orthoptists are delighted to have this support!
The UK National Screening Committee (NSC) has recommended orthoptist led screening for visual impairment in all children aged 4 – 5 years. http://www.screening.nhs.uk/vision-child
From October 2015, responsibility for the funding of vision screening of 4-5 year olds was passed from NHS CCGs to Local Authorities. However some Local Authorities fail to commission this vision screening, or are even decommissioning screening, because of budgetary pressures. This shows lack of awareness of the NSC guidance and results in failure to provide a quality assured care pathway for those children with visual impairment or ocular disease who would have been picked up by the vision screening.

Zero Hedge
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
About a month ago, some took offense at our characterization of the Chair-hewlettpackard-man as a "bearded mutant-cum-supreme genocidal overlord" after we predicted to the dot that his monetary policy would eventually lead to a global, well, genocide, presumably first in the developing world.
Following riots, self-immolations and outright revolutions in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Jordan, Yemen and Egypt, in the span of a few shorts weeks, we believe we have been once again validated. Putting the period in any debate of what Bernanke's runaway money printing means to the life-expectancy of increasing number of people, is the latest news coming out of Sudan where "security forces on Tuesday arrested opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi and eight other party officials after they called for a "popular revolution" if Khartoum did not reverse price rises."
And since economic slack in Sudan is roughly in line with that of the abovementioned other 5 countries, it is safe to say that the bulk of this move is speculation frenzy related, which in turn is purely a function of pervasive and free global liquidity. And this is still just the beginning. As Bernanke will not stop before the Dow hits roughly 36,000 expect these kinds of headlines to be an hourly occurrence.
More from Reuters:
Turabi's arrest comes at a politically sensitive time for the government of President Omar Hassan al Bashir, who stands to lose control over the oil-producing south which last week voted in an independence referendum.
It also comes as Tunisia grapples with fallout from the ouster of its long-time president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, who fled the country on Friday after three weeks of violent unrest sparked by social grievances.
Sudan's opposition threatened on Sunday to take to the streets if the government did not remove its finance minister and dismantle parliament over the decision to raise prices on a range of goods.
"This is criminal – how can they arrest a man who is 78 years old and put him in prison? We are scared for him," Turabi's tearful wife Wisal al-Mahdi told Reuters.
Ben Ali's overthrow in Tunisia has reverberated across the Arab world, raising concerns about stability in other countries in the region which share the same mix of social, economic and political problems.

And on the topic of price increases specifically:
Sudan's price increases have sparked student protests in the country's northern agricultural heartland and Khartoum.
The country is grappling with a current account deficit and a currency devaluation that is driving up inflation.
This month Khartoum cut subsidies on petroleum products and key commodity sugar, prompting protests over the past week, quelled only by baton-wielding police firing teargas.
Perhaps it is time someone at 60 Minutes had a follow up interview with Blackhawk Ben, asking him if a united developing world revolution is something he is 100% confident he can also contain…

L'opzione della piccola impresa nello sviluppo economico della ex Rdt dopo la riunificazione tedesca
L'opzione della piccola impresa nello sviluppo economico della ex Rdt dopo la riunificazione tedesca (di Michela Parise) - ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the reunification process in Germany, with particu-lar attention on some problematic due to the economic integration of DDR in Federal Germany. The resolution of German question answered to a po-litical issue, but it didn't consider some important factors of economic inte-gration, as a real evaluation of costs for both Germany and the fair politics to stimulate oriental economy to western levels. In fact, Germany still suf-fers of this process. This paper proposes some reflections on economic order and on the state role in economy, with specific regard on industrial districts and small and medium enterprises. It will consider the international background of unification process, peculiarities of the two German economic-productive systems, the transition costs and the process of catching up of new Laender. Finally, the research of development policies to better the economic situa-tion of DDR and to reduce the too high unemployment rate.

YEAR six pupils at Lacey Gardens Primary School found out first hand the true meaning of charity when the school organised a 'Big Give' event.
The event, sponsored by the Reed Foundation gave the children the chance to research local and national charities in-depth and think about what charity means to them.
Pupils were given £15 in vouchers to give to the charity they thought deserved it most.
Managing Director of the Big Give project, a project that provides a secure way for donors to give online, Ashley Bowe, a former pupil of the school said: "It's really nice to come back and see the children get excited about charity.
"They were really engaged in the project."
Visitors, staff members and parents also got to vote for their favourite charity that would receive an extra £40 each in funding.
The winning charities were Rej's Dream, Wishing Well and Dogs Trust.

Wachovia Name Will Not Appear On PGA Tour's Charlotte Stop
TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING? In Charlotte, Peter St. Onge writes under the header, "Is Golf A Splurge Or Local Surge?" Wells Fargo Senior VP & Corporate Communications Manager Mary Beth Navarro said that the company is "reducing costs of the tournament, including some related to client entertainment," but the "specifics haven't been determined." St. Onge notes the tournament has "cultivated a reputation on the Tour as a top-notch tournament, from the cars the players drive in Charlotte to the perks their wives get to the swankiness of the corporate parties." The PGA Tour's "elite don't come to Charlotte merely for the pricey perks," but the tournament's "glossy feel certainly contributes to the lure." Even if those perks "stay intact, cutting some non-player luxuries means cutting back on things local businesses provide." St. Onge: "Excess helps stir commerce -- in this case, our commerce" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 2/27).

text: Youth bowlers experience USBC Open February 20, 2012 By Kevin Albarez USBC Communications BATON ROUGE, La. - A day after the opening ceremony of the 2012 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships, youth bowlers from across Louisiana converged on the Baton Rouge River Center for a taste of the championship experience. More than 230 competitors, ages 8-19, started the day with a march down Center Aisle, a USBC Open Championships tradition since 1954. "I liked marching out," said 18-year-old Kay Rawls of Central, La. "It was fun and exciting. It's a good experience for us to bowl on the kind of shots the adults bowl on." The bowlers enjoyed the chance to be a part of the big-time event, even though most are quite a few years from their Open Championships debuts. The high ceilings, custom scoreboards and bleachers filled with hundreds of family members and friends made for a one-of-a-kind experience. "I like that you're not in a regular bowling alley," said Angela Falgoust, a high school junior from Baton Rouge. "It makes it feel more professional. I liked the scoreboard being big and over all the lanes." The day was not only remarkable for the youth bowlers, it also meant a lot for the coaches and parents to watch them bowl on the same lanes they will compete on at the 2012 Open Championships, which will run for 151 consecutive days from Feb. 11 to July 10. "I love it," Louisiana USBC Youth Association Manager Cecilia Santangelo said. "I put in around 100 hours getting it all organized. It is all about the youth bowlers. I had kids who bowled for me in 1986 who have kids bowling today." While many bowlers found the Open Championships lane condition challenging, they were still excited to bowl and hope to bowl in the USBC Open Championships in the future. "Kids enjoy watching the adults bowl," Louisiana USBC Youth Association President Stuart Moss said. "They also enjoy bowling on the same pattern, even if it's difficult." The tournament awarded $4,760 in scholarship money split into six age divisions, three for boys and three for girls. The final results from the youth event can be seen here. Sponsors for the 2012 USBC Open Championships include Circus Circus Reno, Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno and Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno. Other sponsors include the Belle of Baton Rouge, official brackets sponsor; Kegel, official lane maintenance provider; Humana, official registration sponsor; Bud Light and Budweiser, official beer sponsors; The Advocate, official publication sponsor; Brunswick, official lane provider; Steltronic, official scoring system; Storm Bowling Products and Nationwide Insurance.

Doctors and hospitals won't be the only ones driving new technology into the health care field.
Consumers — already plugging into fitness sensors and other devices to monitor their health — could play the critical role in pushing digital health into the mainstream.
San Diego attorney Wainwright Fishburn Jr., a board member of the Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance, delivered that message during a keynote speech at the International Consumer Electronics Show this month.
How big is digital health among gadget makers? Ten percent of exhibitors at the 2014 show — or about 330 firms — were health care companies, Fishburn said. The digital health footprint at CES was 30 percent larger than in past years.
The collision of digital health technology with consumerism is just one of the themes Fishburn touched on in his speech. Afterward, he spoke with U-T San Diego about the latest in the industry. Here are some excerpts.
Q: Can you set the stage for the state of the digital health industry? It seems like the business model for digital health is a challenge.
A: To lay the foundation, in 2013, almost $2 billion came into the sector through venture and other institutional investment. That was up about 40 percent since 2012. Against that backdrop, I focus on what kind of market cap is necessary to yield a venture return for those investors. And I project something in the order of $15 billion in market cap value is required by 2019, give or take.
Q: What are some of the breakthroughs that will lead to that kind of growth?
A: Against the backdrop of CES, the big thing for digital health is the focus on consumerism. I look at it as coming in waves. The first wave of companies actually generating revenues are in the nonregulated, unreimbursed sector. And the primary velocity is in the area of wearable devices measuring biometrics.
The point I would make is there is a high consumer demand fueled by curiosity, price point and products that were easily gift-able over the Christmas season. Fitbit, for example, was available in 20,000 or so stores in the Christmas season.
What I think is the interesting part of the conversation is consumers are now developing a familiarity with measuring their own biometrics. Take, for example, Misfit Wearables and the Shine (fitness band) product, where you drop the device on your iPhone, it connects through Bluetooth and immediately pops up with feedback.
Where I see the next generation going is the consumer taking that information into the doctor and having it be medically relevant and actionable. In particular, I believe the role of the physician will be enlarged as we go through this tide of health care reform.
Simply stated, the complete continuum of my medical history — doctors I've seen, medications I've taken, therapies I've received — should be in a single, easy-to-use, easy-to-access place. It should be as easily movable on mobile devices as it is today for me to change phones and get a new phone with the same phone number and in a matter of minutes transfer all of my email accounts, all of my contacts, all of my texts, all of my social media accounts.
Q: It is an interesting picture you're painting of this being consumer driven rather than being physician driven.
A: That's right for the following reasons. Comprehensive insurance will increasingly come with a larger part of that insurance being paid for by the consumer.
It is not unusual today to have health care plans that have a higher deductible, as high as $5,000. One speaker (at CES) estimated the typical American family today spends about $20,000 a year on their insurance program, much of it borne by employers but an increasing percentage borne by the consumer.
So the image is that the American consumer is buying a new midsize car for their family every year — year in and year out. Hence the consumer is going to be much more focused on the value they receive for that health care dollar.
Combine that with the reality that the consumer, for the first time, will have these tools enabled by digital health at their fingertips.
Going out a few years, you have a physician and consumer/patient interaction where the consumer comes to the physician with the electronic medical records systems and digital devices that all interface seamlessly.
So the interaction with the physician has 80 percent of what consumes time and energy and money today easily available at his or her fingertips. The physician patient interaction can be focused entirely on areas where the physician can provide the greatest insight and the greatest quality of care, all enabled by the tools of digital health.
Q: Is the technology ready yet, where the sensors can really provide meaningful information to the physician?
A: The answer is yes and no. Each generation of the technology is building upon the last. The early technologies are readily available and already deployed.
So where is all this going? I think the next generations will be increasing sophistication around the collective analytics. Using big data will allow deeper analysis of the usefulness and medical implications of all of the data and information being gathered together by these tools.
Q: What are some of the hurdles?
A: The big challenge that I see is for digital health to truly realize its potential, there needs to be strong, early adoption of standards of interoperability and basic platform design so you don't end up with the same challenges we had in the early days of electronic medical records, where we had a fragmented system.
Q: What's going to happen long term?
A: It is not my vision alone, but one day we will have implanted, onboard sensors in our body that are much like the onboard sensors in your car or in your smartphone, which will constantly monitor your condition and give advance warnings in time for actionable behavior changes controlled by the consumer.

Just in time for back to school shopping, Connecticut's sales tax-free week on most clothing and footwear runs from Sunday, Aug. 19, through Saturday, Aug. 25.
The seven-day tax holiday exempts clothing and footwear priced under $300 from the state sales tax.
The sales tax is applied to merchandise after the use of any coupons or discounts, so any coupons or discounts that bring the final price of an item under $300 benefit from the exemption.
There are restrictions.
The state Department of Revenue Services says special clothing or footwear primarily designed for athletic activity or protective use, accessories, and jewelry do not qualify.

I have had patient's request pics of their pressure sores on one occasion. Our wound nurse took some and showed them the ones for the record. No photos were take on their phone.

In my current job, we have had to remind people not to take pictures d/t the confidentiality issue. One guy wanted pics of nurses, which is also creepy.

It sucks having to call security on family members but by taking pictures they're asking for it. And I will post up some experimental pictures as soon as I have my next set of days off. Remember though, I'm a newbie!

Mark - I agree. Most people have no patience but that doesn't mean I'm going to drop everything else to make their wait times shorter.

Dr. Grumpy - I've had to repress the urge to grab the phone/camera out of their hands and stomp on it repeatedly.

Micheal - I really hope that the incidences I witnessed were the rare exceptions. I don't want to have to ask patients to put away all electronic devices prior to assessing them.

Not Nurse Ratched and Old MD Girl - I usually have no problems with taking pictures at the patient's request, no matter how gory the injury is. But I'm not going to take them at the expense of doing more important things. I've had plenty of patients ask me for copies of their x-rays/ct scans for facebook. I guess it's their info so they are free to do whatever they want with it. I still wouldn't be posting pictures up of any gory injuries I may get.

StoryTellERdoc - I'm also hoping that stopping people from taking pictures does not become a daily part of my job. And cellphone cameras in the gym? Just wrong.

Little d - Excellent point! It's just a shame people don't stop to think about things before whipping out their phones! Just because something is available doesn't mean it has to be used right away!

ERP - Next time that happens, I'll use that threat! Public relations skills be damned!

Midwest woman - I'll post some pics up, I promise! Some potential candidates are in post-processing.

Assessing the effects of using demand parameters estimates in inventory control and improving the performance using a correction function
Inventory models need some specification of the distribution of demand in order to find the optimal order-up-to level or reorder point. This distribution is unknown in real life and there are several solutions to overcome this problem. One approach is to assume a distribution, estimate its parameters and replace the unknown demand parameters by these estimates in the theoretically correct model. Earlier research suggests that this approach will lead to underperformance, even if the true demand distribution is indeed the assumed one. This paper directs the cause of the underperformance and quantifies it in case of normally distributed demand. Furthermore the formulae for the order-up-to levels are corrected analytically where possible and otherwise by use of simulation and linear regression. Simulation shows that these corrections improve the attained performance.

Judges have more say over families' futuresNov. 18, 2004
By EDITORIAL STAFF
On Nov. 10, in a unanimous 14-page opinion, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the state's judges can approve the adoption of foster children even when child protection workers object.
Judges now can overrule the Florida Department of Children & Families in cases of children who were placed in the agency's care due to neglect or abuse by the child's birth parents.
For one Florida woman, called B.Y. in case documents, the court's ruling is a victory. The Associated Press reported that the woman moved to Palm Beach County in 2002 to care for her daughter's three children, but the department of children and families took them away from her. A judge ruled in the case to allow the woman to adopt them, despite the agency's objections.
Although the department appealed the case, many more people in the state now will have the opportunity to adopt children regardless of what one agency has to say.
The Lariat editorial board believes this is a wise move on the part of the Florida Supreme Court. Judges routinely have more information from several sources when deciding cases, whereas the Florida Department of Children & Families only has its own information on which to base a decision.
Justice Raoul G. Cantero III wrote in a concurring opinion that the department of children and families, "like every other nonparent involved in an adoption proceeding, cannot unreasonably thwart an otherwise beneficial adoption," the AP reported.
Because of the possibility for the agency to make a grievous error in judgment on behalf of the child's future in a possible adopted family, we believe the judge should be the one who makes the ultimate decision in all adoption cases. While there certainly is room for the judge to err, with more information at his disposal, we believe the best action lies in allowing the top person in legal procedures to render the verdict.

Just two days ago out of the blue while transitioning from home to the train with the Tegra on off (I remember turning it off during charging before I left) as I sat down on the train I found it turned on (unusual) I didn't think much of it but since then I later noticed that my Wifi was stuck on the "Turning Wifi on" message and that the app wouldnt allow me to click the cog in the top left to return to the settings page (moreover when I click the open programs buttons it just disappears..strange) the only reason my attention was brought to this was because my Bluetooth gave me an error saying it couldnt share bluetooth anymore.
At the time I thought a simple restart would fix it but nope it didn't. My tegra is rooted but I have had no problems until now!
Since then I have done
- Factory data reset
- Cleared memory cache
- Factory restored using the advent factory 4.3 image http www adventcomputers co uk / product-download-select/296 (sorry first posts and I don't seem to be allowed to post links).
Right now I find myself stuck at the "Welcome" screen as after I select a language and press next the wifi tries to turn on and I cannot skip this.
Any suggestions on what I should/could try please? Is it a hardware problem like it happened with the Samsung Galaxy?
Thank you

We don't generally report on firms winning awards, because it's your job to brag. But we get how awesome it is to win stuff and we pay attention to those honored for doing great work.
That said, we think you'll all agree that awards shows get to be a little ridiculous, and Canadian agency Rethink turned the whole self-congratulatory mess into a joke with the help of something close to our hearts here at Mediabistro: 3D printing. (Check out our upcoming events!)
Of course, Rethink created this spot to play at a local awards ceremony so everyone in attendance could laugh at themselves while still feeling all the jealousy and glamour and frivolity that comes with winning "the most awards in the world."
So what we're saying is: nice stunt, guys.

PUBLIC MEETING: Sonora City Council, 5 p.m. today, Sonora City Hall, 94 N. Washington St.
Two new Sonora City Council members and a new mayor will take their seats today.
As the first regular meeting of the city's fiscal year, today's business will include the swearing in of councilmen-elect Jim Garaventa and George Segarini. The two will replace 12-year councilman and recent Mayor Hank Russell and four-year councilman Matt Hawkins.
Garaventa and Segarini received the two highest vote totals in the June 3 primary election out of four candidates. The final results were very tight, with only 16 votes separating the first and last vote-getters, and remained in doubt for almost two weeks as mail-in and provisional ballots were counted.
Russell, who will finish his third term and a stretch as mayor today, opted not to run for re-election this year. His successor, who will run the council meetings as mayor, is also scheduled to be chosen by the councilmembers after Garaventa and Segarini are sworn in.
Also on today's agenda is a public hearing on the city's Community Development Block Grant funding application. The city can apply to the federal program every year, offering projects or services that benefit low-income populations like homeless shelters, housing projects, low-interest loans and others and can sponsor local groups or projects to receive funding.
The application project is competitive, meaning funding is not always guaranteed.
