For servers, tightening economy is clear
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) - Plenty of people are worried about what the tightening economy will bring, but for some restaurant servers, the pain is already here.
St. Cloud waitress Jackie Moll says her tips have dwindled from about half of her annual income to about 20 to 30 percent.
The 31-year-old Moll says her tips have gotten more inconsistent in the past year, too. One day she'll make $50, the next day $20.
Tips usually make up a majority of the salary for Minnesota's more than 49,000 servers.
The story's the same for Steph Wellen, a waitress at a Famous Dave's in Waite Park. She says her usual tip has dropped from 15 percent to 10 percent in the past year. That means she's had to cut out $50 to $100 per week from her budget.
Moll says she has no plans to quit waitressing because she's a "people person."

Do You Have A Good Recipe For Homemade Butter?
I've been doing research on how to make my own butter. I like a recipe I found on Epicurian.com because it seems so simple, and I can make it in an electric mixer.
However, I know nothing about making butter. Have you made butter? Do you have a recipe to share, or any advice to offer?

Girls tennis
What: USTA junior nationals for 18s and 16s age groups.
When: Through Aug. 11.
Where: Barnes Tennis Center (main site) and San Diego State and USD (satellite sites).
Top prize: The 18s champion receives a spot in this year's US Open women's draw.
Online: ustagirlsnationals.com
When a U.S. player finished No. 1 in the world junior girls tennis rankings last year, the spotlight again reached longtime San Diego pro Gretchen Magers.
That's because Chicago native Taylor Townsend became the first American atop the rankings since Magers in 1982, when she was known as Gretchen Rush.
The two also are being linked this week at the USTA Junior Nationals for the 18s and 16s age groups at the Barnes Tennis Center, where play began Saturday. As part of the Opening Ceremonies, Magers and tennis great Billie Jean King addressed players and spectators.
For Magers, this tourney is a chance to survey players as the second-year coach at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges. For Townsend, this is an opportunity to bid for the U.S. Open berth awarded to the 18s champion.
The top junior ranking led Magers to four All-America college seasons and 10 years on the WTA Tour, where she reached 22nd in the rankings. She also was left with fond recollections of her youth.
"It's a beautiful memory, just wonderful," said Magers, who lived in San Diego from 1989 until last year.
Players in Magers' era could not accept prize money at pro events and retain status to play in amateur events such as the Junior Nationals, but recent changes have allowed Townsend that option.
Townsend preceded this tourney with a runner-up finish in doubles Saturday at the Citi Open WTA tournament in Washington, D.C.
Into this year, Townsend turned pro, yet still appeared in top junior tourneys. As a highlight, she reached the singles final of the Wimbledon Junior Championships.
"I finished the year No. 1 (as a junior), and that was a goal that I wanted to accomplish," Townsend told the Connecticut Sun in May. "I kind of had a feeling (then) that it was the right time to turn pro."
In that regard, Townsend is hardly alone in the junior nationals field. At No. 338 in the WTA rankings, she's among nine tourney players ranked in the top 500, led by top-seeded Sachia Vickery (241) of Miramar, Fla.
"We are in a fortunate time when we have a lot of top American women, and the groundswell is juniors, including this tournament," said USTA President David Haggerty, on hand for the Opening Ceremonies.
Said Magers: "Whenever I get to talk to young people, I like to tell them that they can follow their dreams. There's nothing in this world that stops them from what they want to do except themselves."
As Magers and Townsend have proved decades apart.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Positive signals: Is Northern Ireland witnessing the green shoot of recovery?
After six painful years our economy looks to be on the road to recovery but it's likely to a long journey, writes John Mulgrew
'What word? Recession? What should we call it then?" "I don't care. Call it a boat show, or a beer garden, or a bagel."
It's the cautious reverence used in the often witty and occasionally self-aggrandising US political drama The West Wing in order to avoid using the 'R' word — a word now in common usage throughout Northern Ireland.
We've come to accept 'recession' and the slightly more alarmist 'financial meltdown' as everyday catch-all terms for our severe lack of fiscal buoyancy.
But in the past few weeks and months, a host of what are often termed as 'business barometers' — including economic activity, house prices, |unemployment and car sales — have pointed to an upturn in the region's outlook, and for us all to ask, is that it?
Two cautiously optimistic leading economists have said Northern Ireland has both "turned the corner" and "it's just the beginning for us — but we're starting to grow slowly" — only days after the 'official' sixth birthday of the downturn.
"The recession was like falling off a cliff, and then walking back up the stairs to the top," said Neil Gibson, a director at Oxford Economics.
Ulster Bank PMI report for July, the latest, showed the region had witnessed its first rise in business activity since November 2007 — led by the manufacturing industry — despite continuing to lag begin the rest of the UK.
"The PMI is a good way of looking at it. It's saying, up until July you were having some firms reporting growth, some reporting declines, but from July the balance had shifted," said Ulster Bank's chief economist Richard Ramsey. "Almost a third of firms reported higher levels of activity, month on month."
Unemployment levels have also |fallen to below the average for the UK, based on the latest labour force survey.
Yet despite a further 500 less on the dole queues, the number of those classed as economically inactive grew by some 10,000 over the last quarter — significantly higher than that of the UK average.
Northern Ireland also suffers from above average levels of youth unemployment.
One recent initiative, proposed by the Executive, is aiming to rejuvenate what has been one of the worst hit groups of the recession, by introducing 50 new apprenticeships for younger people — bringing an opportunity to those keen to join the ICT (information and communications technology) workforce in Northern Ireland.
It's a sector which, in the past few months and years, has witnessed a tranche of technology companies |dipping their toes in the chilly waters of Northern Ireland, or, in some |cases, further expanding already well-established operations.
US firm Allstate announced in May it was to create up to 650 new posts in Belfast, Londonderry and Strabane — the second largest single tranche of jobs since devolution in 2007, and further bolstering Northern Ireland's position as a tech-hub.
Put simply — Northern Ireland's ever-burgeoning portfolio of top-end tech-savvy firms from across the water is bigger than it was in the most |recent pre-recessionary days.
And according to Neil Gibson, inward investment has an often unintended effect.
"We are a small business economy and there is no doubt that in terms of confidence, as well as the shot in the arm it gives us, it's very impactful," he said. "The symbolism, the jobs. People hear about the new posts, suppliers then hear about that."
But while some areas of the service sector and local manufacturing giants such as Wrightbus continue to fuel a return to growth, the impact of inflation is also a "silent killer", noted Richard Ramsey.
"The recovery in the economy is taking hold, but the recovery in household standards of living is probably not at that stage yet — that's the difference," he said.
Northern Ireland faces a more difficult climb out of the doldrums, due to its diminutive private sector.
"Structurally, Northern Ireland is likely to lag somewhat because we have a smaller private sector — we have a very big public sector," said Mr Gibson.
"However, we have a much greater potential for picking |up in the housing market and construction sector. We should have significantly more demand in property, but not necessarily at the moment."
As the costs of homes see some form of stabilising, |according to the latest figures, we may not want to see a return the big-ticket prices in the days before the property collapse.
"We would like to get back our transactions. But, we have to very mindful, basing them on a solid foundation, rather than a bed of debt," said Mr Gibson.
On a wider scale, although Europe — and more specifically the eurozone — has suffered from an often crippling economic situation, last month it managed to pull itself up by the coattails and produce growth — albeit modest.
It's the first time that output in the single-currency bloc has risen since the end of 2011.
So, if we're on the right track, but haven't yet reached a plateau on which both businesses and consumers can sit back, what indicators should we be looking for? According to the two senior economists, there's one key |sector which can be used as a litmus test.
"The biggest, single, tangible example of what recovery will look like is the construction |sector," said Mr Ramsey. "After losing jobs for five or six years, once you get jobs there, that is a key sign to things turning for the better."
Mr Gibson said "the real |potential will be to get the |construction industry going".
"The whole thing — it's the start of a challenging and long journey, but at least we are on it.
"My view is we really have turned the corner, but turning the corner is the start of a longer process. But it is getting better."

This term, through its decisions in Comcast Corp. v. Behrend and Standard Fire Ins. Co. v. Knowles, the Supreme Court has continued down the path set in Wal-Mart v. Dukes. The Court's decisions have potentially limited the tools used by plaintiffs' counsel to obtain early class certification and pressure defendants to discuss an early resolution. The universal lesson to be taken from both cases is that preparation and evidence is king. Plaintiffs must have solid evidentiary support earlier on their cases to help ensure successful class certification and obtain their choice of forum. The practical effect of these decisions is that the costs of litigation may become more front-loaded and discourage large class actions. The Suprme Court cases may be largely seen as a victory for defense counsel because they may make it more challenging for plaintiffs to obtain class certification and obtain their preferred forum. Nevertheless, plaintiffs' counsel may continue to find success obtaining class certification if they limit the application of these decisions to very large, unworkable class actions, present sufficient evidence to meet Rule 23 standards, and skillfully structure more manageable class actions.
Set forth below is a short discussion of each decision, and plaintiffs' and defense counsel's consideration of the practical effects of these decisions.
Comcast Corp. v. Behrend, 133 S.Ct. 1426 (2013)
A divided (5-4) Supreme Court, in Comcast Corp. v. Behrend, held that an antitrust class action was improperly certified under Rule 23(b)(3) because the plaintiffs' damages model failed to establish that damages could be determined on a class-wide basis. 133 S. Ct. 1426, 1432-33 (2013). Accordingly, the Court vacated the district court's certification of the class.
The District Court had certified a class of more than two million cable subscribers who claimed that Comcast monopolized the Philadelphia cable market through a strategy known as "clustering," whereby Comcast allegedly concentrated its services in a particular region by acquiring competitors in the region, and entering into swap transactions wherein Comcast would swap its systems outside the region for competitor systems in the region. This strategy allegedly allowed Comcast to increase its market share from about 23% to 69%, which allowed Comcast to charge "supra-competitive" prices. The Third Circuit affirmed the class certification.
The Supreme Court held the plaintiffs' damages model established by their expert was not sufficient evidence to show that damages could be measured on a class-wide basis, as required for class certification by Rule 23(b)(3), which requires that common questions of law or fact predominate over any questions affecting individuals. The Court noted there were four theories of antitrust impact advanced by the plaintiffs, but the District Court had found that only one--the "overbuilder theory"--was subject to common proof, such that the class could only be certified as to that theory of antitrust impact. Fatal to the plaintiffs' class certification, however, the plaintiffs' damages model did not disaggregate the impact of the four different theories of antitrust impact. Thus, the Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs' damages model was insufficient to establish that damages could be measured on a class-wide basis.
Almost immediately, the Supreme Court's decision was cited in decisions related to labor and employment class actions, leading to inconsistent results. For example, in Martins v. 3PD, Inc., the District of Massachusetts, in a wage and hour dispute, granted class certification under Rule 23(b)(3), holding that the Supreme Court's decision does "not to foreclose the possibility of class certification where some individual issues of the calculation of damages might remain . . ., but those determinations will neither be particularly complicated nor overwhelmingly numerous." CIV.A. 11-11313-DPW, 2013 WL 1320454, *8 fn.3 (D. Mass. Mar. 28, 2013). In contrast, in Roach v. T.L. Cannon Corp., the Northern District of New York, also in a wage and hour dispute, denied class certification under Rule 23(b)(3), finding that plaintiffs failed to offer a damages model that could be determined on a class-wide basis. 3:10-CV-0591 TJM/DEP, 2013 WL 1316452, *3-4 (N.D.N.Y. Mar. 29, 2013).
What does this mean for plaintiffs' counsel? The Court's decision in Behrend reminds putative class counsel that motions for class certification must be supported by evidence rather than conclusory arguments and must show the court there is a common methodology for determining potential class members' damages. However, the dissent in Behrend persuasively points out that the "opinion breaks no new ground on the standard for certifying a class action under [Rule 23(b)(3)]." Behrend, 133 S.Ct. at 1436 (dissent). Although the dissent cautions that "the decision should not be read to require, as a prerequisite to certification, that damages attributable to a class wide injury be measurable 'on a class-wide basis'" see id., defense counsel will undoubtedly use this decision, like Wal-Mart v. Dukes, to raise the bar necessary to obtain class certification.
The class certified in Behrend included over two million subscribers spread out over 16 counties. Plaintiff's counsel must distinguish between (1) cases where there are some individual issues of damages, although common questions of liability predominate; and (2) cases where the damage calculation is so complex, or where it implicates so many potential class members, that the damage issues overwhelms liability issues. See Martins v. 3PD, Inc., 2013 WL 1320454, at *8 fn.3. Because the Supreme Court did not expressly address the first type of case, common issues will likely predominate if the damages calculation is not complicated, and the class is not overwhelmingly numerous. See id. To meet the predominance requirement plaintiffs' counsel must be prepared to show (1) evidence of an injury common to the class rather than individuals; and (2) that the damages are measurable "on a class-wide basis" through use of a common methodology. See Behrend, 133 S. Ct. at 1430. Thus, some of the perceived challenges created by Behrend may be overcome through the creation of sub-classes with simple and clear methodologies to determine damages. In the alternative, plaintiffs' counsel may consider asserting multiple separate individual lawsuits, which will undoubtedly increase the costs of litigation for all parties involved.
The potential impact of Dukes and Behrend on the Rule 23(b)(3) class action certification standard may become synonymous to the impact of the Court's decisions in Twombly and Iqbal on the Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal standard. As plaintiffs' counsel begin to learn how broadly or narrowly district courts will interpret the Supreme Court's decisions, counsel will need to adapt and ensure compliance with the Court's standard.
What does this mean for defense counsel? Although Behrend was an antitrust case, its holding is likely to have impact in all types of class actions. Defendants will certainly use Behrend to argue that plaintiffs have failed to "establish[] that damages are capable of measurement on a classwide basis," and accordingly that class certification should be denied. The practical effect of the Behrend decision is that class certification will certainly become a battle of the experts. This will drive up the cost of litigating for all plaintiffs, and make it more difficult for plaintiffs to extract settlements after successful class certification motions in cases that are less strong on the merits.
Standard Fire Ins. Co. v. Knowles, 568 U.S. ____, 133 S.Ct. 1345 (2013)
The Supreme Court, in Standard Fire Ins. Co. v. Knowles, unanimously held that putative class representatives cannot avoid removal to federal court under the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA") by stipulating to seek damages for the class in an amount below the CAFA's $5,000,000 jurisdictional threshold.
Mr. Knowles's home in Arkansas was damaged during a hail storm, and he made an insurance claim to Standard Fire Insurance Company ("Standard Fire"), under his homeowner's insurance policy, for the repairs. Standard Fire refused to pay for Mr. Knowles's general contractor's fees.
Subsequently, Mr. Knowles filed suit in state court on behalf of himself, and on behalf of a putative class of "hundreds, and possibly thousands" of similarly-situated Arkansans. Both via the complaint itself and via an affidavit attached to the complaint, Mr. Knowles stipulated that both he and the class would seek to recover total aggregate damages of less than $5,000,000.
Standard Fire removed the case to federal district court based upon the CAFA's $5,000,000 jurisdictional threshold. On the basis of evidence presented by Standard Fire, the district court found that the "sum or value" of the amount in controversy was "just above" the $5,000,000 jurisdictional threshold, but that, because of the stipulation, the district court concluded that the amount in controversy was below the jurisdictional threshold and ordered the case to be remanded. The Eighth Circuit declined to hear the appeal, and the Supreme Court granted Standard Fire's petition for a writ of certiorari.
The Supreme Court based its holding on a simple principle--"[s]tipulations must be binding," and Mr. Knowles lacked the authority to concede the amount in controversy issue for absent class members. Accordingly, Mr. Knowles's pre-certification stipulation was not effective to reduce the value of the putative class members' claims.
What does this mean for plaintiffs' counsel? The Court's reasoning was unambiguous, and its holding was unanimous. This case will likely not have a significant impact on employment class actions. Many employment class actions, for example, are subject to federal jurisdiction on the basis of federal question jurisdiction (i.e. FLSA, ERISA). Accordingly, the jurisdictional limit under CAFA is only an issue in labor or employment class actions that assert only state or common law causes of action, such as state law-based wage and hour claims. If defense counsel chooses to argue and show the court that the amount in controversy is greater than $5,000,000, when plaintiffs' counsel estimated a lesser value, plaintiffs will likely welcome that argument and will remember it when defendant later wants to discuss settlement. The Knowles case, however, should remind putative class counsel that they lack authority to make decisions on behalf of a putative class, if the court has not yet certified a class.
What does this mean for defense counsel? This case should be seen as a significant win, as it effectively shut the door on the plaintiffs bar's efforts to circumvent the CAFA's jurisdictional limit in order to litigate in states that are believed to be especially plaintiff-friendly. While litigating in federal court is certainly no panacea for defense counsel, defendants in federal court benefit from the generally stricter class certification standards in federal court, particular after the Supreme Court's 2011 decision in Wal-Mart v. Dukes. Th Knowles decision will likely lead to plaintiffs' counsel filing more cases directly in federal court, as there is less of an incentive to filing in state court, particularly because plaintiffs' counsel would have to do more work up-front to demonstrate the aggregate amount in controversy. Defense counsel cannot forget, however, that if they do seek to remove a case filed in state court, the defendant still bears the burden of demonstrating that the amount of controversy exceeds the $5,000,000 jurisdictional threshold.

There are only two reasons I can think of that you might steal a sea turtle awareness sign from the beaches on Bolivar Peninsula:
- You anticipate needing the information on the signs in the future, but you don't have a phone handy. But you do have a screwdriver.
- You want to a have a unique dorm room decoration.
Or maybe you have some kind of grudge against the turtles.
In a post on their official blog today, the Houston Zoo reported that someone had removed some of the sea turtle awareness signs that the zoo had recently put up on the beach in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
From the blog,
While we appreciate that the general public must really enjoy the brand new signs designed by the Houston Zoo's graphics department, we were upset to see that we would need to use signs meant for other areas along the beach to replace the stolen signs. So, throughout our day looking for stranded or injured sea turtles on the beach we hopped out of the vehicle several times to install new signs and replace the stolen signs.
For shame, whoever you are.
If you do find a sea turtle on a Texas beach, you should call Texas turtle hotline at 1-866-TURTLE-5. It's inadvisable to touch a turtle without checking with authorities first. As an endangered species, it's illegal to harm, harass, intentionally injure or kill a sea turtle.

Aaron takes an in-depth look at the Samsung Conquer 4G, Sprint's first 4G handset to come in under $100. Specifications include a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 3.5-inch display, 3.2-megapixel camera, front-facing shooter for video calling, and Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread). Best of all, it's running a near-vanilla version of Android; there's no custom user interface installed. It's not going to compete with the high-end options on the market, but with features like Sprint Hotspot and 4G, it's a nice smartphone for many.
It's priced well, but it's entering a market that the HTC EVO 4G and Apple iPhone 3GS dominate. Can it hold its own? Part 2 of 2.

Skilled Migrant Category - Expression of Interest Selection – 22nd September 2010
The following EOIs were selected from the pool for validation on 22nd September 2010:
345 EOIs were selected that had a points total of 140 or above:
309 with job offer
36 without job offer
78 EOIs were selected that had a points total of 100 or more but less than 140, and included points for offers of skilled employment or current skilled employment in New Zealand.
61EOIs were selected that had a points total of 120 or more but less than 140, without a job offer, but with 15 points claimed for work experience in an area of absolute skill shortage.
(A total of 559 EOIs were therefore selected)
Conclusion: Leaving aside the EOIs in areas of Absolute Skills Shortage, only 9% of applicants managed to achieve the selection point without a job offer. Thus, 91% of ordinary applicants needed a job offer to qualify. Clearly, getting a job is of paramount importance to your application, which is where our Jobsearch Programme is best placed to help.

Statement of Liz Reynolds
State Affairs Manager
National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies
"We commend the efforts of Governor Rick Scott, CFO Jeff Atwater, Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty, and Insurance Consumer Advocate Robin Westcott to build the case for PIP reform and continue the pressure for meaningful change throughout the legislative process. The bill would have died on several occasions if not for the stellar debate and negotiation skills demonstrated by Representative Jim Boyd, Representative Bryan Nelson, Senator Garrett Richter, and Senator Joe Negron, along with the support of Senate President Mike Haridopolos, Speaker Dean Cannon, and other legislative leaders.
"PIP reform was a brutal, hard-fought battle in both the Florida House and Senate, right down to the final day of session. While the final PIP legislation does not contain every measure needed to fight PIP fraud and abuse, it is still a win for companies writing auto business in Florida and especially a victory for the policyholders they represent."

Race-row comedian Bernard Manning dies
BERNARD Manning, a British comedian who enjoyed mainstream fame in the 1970s but whose jokes about women, the Irish and ethnic minorities later fell from favour, has died, it was announced yesterday.
North Manchester General Hospital said Manning (76) died yesterday afternoon. He had been admitted earlier this month with kidney problems.
Born in the working-class Ancoats district of Manchester, Manning left school at 14 and worked in a tobacco factory. He began entertaining fellow troops while posted in Germany as a teenage conscript.
In the 1950s he sang with big bands and began to appear as a standup in working men's clubs, eventually running his own Manchester club, the Embassy. He gained national fame with the 1971 TV series 'The Comedians'.
The show brought Manning a mass audience, and a fortune. But with changing social attitudes and the rise of a new generation of young comedians in the 1980s, his material began to seem dated and was often deemed offensive.
He denied he was racist, once saying, "I tell jokes. You never take a joke seriously." But increasing numbers of people failed to see the humour in his material.
He appeared infrequently on television in later years, and in 2002 was barred from performing in an English seaside town by local authorities who feared a breach of race-hate laws. He is survived by a son.

I have voted Dorn the last couple of polls, as I think he had a solid season last year. There is a considerable amount of doubt, however, as to whether he can be a starting outfielder when he reaches the major leagues.

I voted Rosales. Guy has played everywhere in the infield and has hit well except in 2006, when he was hurt all year.

I voted again for Waring. In my personal top 10, I had him at 8. I love the pop in his bat. I think of him as the next Ryan Braun.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
Braun: Waring:
games: 113 69
averages .324 .313

rbi 97 63
ops 1.004 .987
Those look pretty similar to me.

I love Lotzkar's stuff. But I have doubts about him, for one he's still extremely young. The other doubt I have is that I remember reading a scouting report on Lotzkar that stated he was a big injury risk because of his mechanics. He has a chicken wing motion, similar to B.J. Ryan's, that could make him very prone to elbow problems.
If he turns into BJ Ryan (a top closer) then that is actually a very good thing.
Lotzkar is 5 years younger than BJ Ryan when they made their Pro Debuts.
In fact his 1st year is better than Bailey's first year, and he is a year younger
What we see often is that as guys move up, reality sets in. We are less and less able to wishcast their flaws away. We focus on what they can't do and minimize what they can. The exact opposite happens with that guy who hasn't done much of anything yet. He's still a blank slate for our imaginations.
Don't get me wrong; I don't think Dorn is a future all-star. I do think that guys who move 3 levels in a year and hit .300/.400/.500 along the way tend to become major leaguers. It's one thing to take a top 20 pick who performed well in his first season in rookie ball and put him in the top 10 prospects. It's another to take the 53rd overall pick who has 29 decent professional innings and put him ahead of a guy who excelled in AA at an appropriate age.
I'm excited about Lotzkar. But at what point do you start giving credit for actual performance? At what point do you stop brushing away their problems as fixable. If Dorn goes .300/.400/.500 split between AA and AAA next year, and Lotzkar goes 140 IP with a 3.50 ERA, 9 H/9, 3 BB/9, and 9 K/9 in Dayton, where will they stand? I get the feeling that because he wasn't a high draft pick, Dorn will be considered a virtual non-prospect until he's a major leaguers.
And if Dorn is going to be railed for his problems with lefties, than Fransisco shouldn't even be on the radar until he learns the strikezone. That's one skill that is quite projectable and a big strike against him. He's got a ton of power, but how is that going to translate up the the line when his contact issues are exploited even more?

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I voted Lotzkar; will vote Dorn next. It's just a close call on potential upside, value of a starter vs. corner outfielder (plus problem of whether Dorn will ever actually get a chance in Cinti with the abundance of outfielders.)

Odor causing a stink at Woodsonia
At Monday night's School board meeting members discussed what was referred to as the "odor issue" at Woodsonia Elementary. But the community will have to wait two weeks to find out what that odor is.
A Johnson County environmental group is in the process of running tests to determine the source of the foul scent.
Board member Jim Thomas said he had heard plenty of complaints and concerns from parents regarding the unknown odor, especially since he said some of them wondered if it had anything to do with the substantial number of students who had been ill lately.
Woodsonia Principal Cathy Grube said she didn't know what the source of the problem was, but she had noticed many children sick so she informed the board that janitors were instructed to spray everything down with disinfectant spray twice a day to keep germs from spreading.
Board members were assured that the odor coming from the south end of the building was unrelated. Some speculated that the odor might be related to sewage.
Others thought the problem might be related to mold, a common problem this time of year. Whatever the source, most agreed the smell was highly disagreeable.
Board President Curtis Allenbrand said he thought the odor was noticeable now because of the lack of wind.
"It's just unseasonably not windy right now and when the air just lays there, well, it smells," Allenbrand said.
Grube told the board that there had been some relief from the smell though.
"We've gone two whole days without that smell," Grube said.

School entry cut-offs by state
Australia is working towards a national curriculum and uniform starting ages, but this won't be fully implemented for some time. All states and territories have their own Departments of Education, though they may have different titles. In addition, there are major offices and commissions for the Catholic Education System, Technical and Further Education [TAFE] and many other educational bodies including those for curriculum, vocational education, university admissions and more.
Kindergarten/Kindy – can start in first term if turning five by July 31st that year.
Prep – can start in first term if turning five by April 30th that year.
The preparatory year is offered in primary schools and is an early education program that is not compulsory. To enrol in Prep, children must turn five by June 30th in the year they are enrolled. To enter Year 1 children must turn six before June 30th in the year they are enrolled. Instead of Prep, parents may choose to keep their children at home or to send them to an alternative early childhood education and care service before Year 1.
Pre-primary – can start in first term if turning five by June 30th that year. Pre-Primary begins at the age of four or five (as long as the child with turn five by June 30th of that year).
Reception – multiple intakes either on first day of term after turning five or on fifth birthday.
Prep – must be five by January 1 of the school year. In Tasmania you may enrol your child in Kindergarten if that child turns four on or before January 1st in the year they start. A child that turns five on or before the January 1st must start school that year! Children will start in the Preparatory Year.
Kindergarten – can start in first term if turning five by April 30th that year.
Transition – multiple intakes.
In NSW, Victoria, WA and ACT children can start well before their fifth birthday or parents can decide to start them the following year after they turn five. Home schooling is a legal option in Australia, provided parents comply with their state laws. Home schooling offers parents and guardians an alternative to state or private schooling. Parents take on the primary responsibility for their child's education.

Does muliplication Rule of probability apply on sexes?
Debate and discussion of any biological questions not pertaining to a particular topic.
Moderator: BioTeam

Does muliplication Rule of probability apply on sexes?
I am reading two Biology text books and it seems to me like they conflict their veiws on some of the probability problems.
Campbell's Biology said
"To find the probability of two independent events happening, multiply the chance of one happening by the chance that the other will happen.
For example, the chance of a couple having two boys depends on two independent events.
The chance of the first child being a boy is 1/2; and the chance of the next child being a boy is 1/2.
The chance that the couple will have two boys is therefore 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4.
The chance of having three boys is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8."
Here is a sample problem and solution form Baron's Biology.
"A couple has 6 children, all girls. If the mother gives birth to a seventh child, what is the probability that the sevent child will be a girl?"
a) 6/7
b) 1/128
c) 1/2
d) 1
Following the Multiply Rule; 2^7 = 1/128, therfore (B) would be the answer.
And here comes the problem; The Answer accordingto Baron is (C), becuase No matter how many children a couple has, the chance that the child will be aboy or a girl is always 1/2. Although it is true that whether the sperm carries an X or a Y sex chromosome dtermins the sex of the child, that is irrelevant to the question here.
Can you clear my thoughts on this, please?
Thank you.
I've run into this before - there is a statistics of conjoined events, which the "It's always one out of two" disagrees with. It may be a matter of perspective.
Hey, it's statistics, it seems like it should make sense, but it often doesn't. I just know that I learned the multiply rule in an actual statistics course...
This is because you are looking at 2 veryy different questions:
In Campbell's they calculate the probability that all kids are of the same sex, in Baron's they are looking at the probability for the 7th kid to be of a given sex.
The basic assumption behind each question is that each draw is an independant event whose probability is therefore constant no matter the number of draws (Baron) which allow the calculation of a given series of particular events as the product of the individual probabilities.
Darby I would have expected better from one of our older member with usually good and level headed abilities :p
I hate stats but they are not despicable tools of the devil made to annoy people. They are valuable tools with so many cutting edges that they must be handled very carefully, and then they can do magic. Actually it just in par with juggling with burning working chain saws blidfolded while staying afloat on an unstable raft on lake of gasoline. Basic science skillset
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without
any proof. (Ashley Montague)
potatoyuu: how would you calculate the probability, that they will have 7 girls and 1 boy? As
So, here you see all your odds for particular cases (i.e. girl in the first case, girl in the second case ... and boy in the eigth case;)
Cis or trans? That's what matters.

One is daughter Brooke, now a morning-show radio producer here, and the other two are Brooke's friends, all sharing a downstairs apartment while the most successful coach in NBA history and his dog, Bo, shuffle around upstairs.

Pascal programming
Problem Solving and Programming
1.Develop an algorithm to keep track of the number of available rooms and the number of visitors. The program should calculate the cost of accommodation, any discounts that may apply, the final cost for each visitor and the overall total bill for the company. The program should accept as input the name of one of the companies and the visitors' information for that company. Accept the first name, last name, status (resident or non- resident) and duration of stay for each visitor and also prompt the user to state whether or not the visitor is an early bird. The program should then display the name and the total amount that should be paid by the company, the number of registered guest and the number of available rooms. The program should also produce a listing of all the visitors for each package. Include in the list of names the final cost, discount amounts and room numbers assigned to each visitor. 2.Design and execute a trace table that accepts data for reservation for that company. Data should include the names of the visitors, early bird option, package type, status and duration of stay for the visitors. The table should trace the cost, discount, final cost for each visitor and overall total cost for the company. The number of registered guest and available rooms should be counted. The table should have at least 10 iterations.
Programme Implementation
3.Using the programming language Pascal, write a program code to implement the algorithm in (1).

Thank you.Originally Posted by Dave_Sinkula
And I'm in the process of realizing how to implement it. Once I find the time to open the source code up again ( I have a very busy schedule right now ) I'll see if I can't understand enough to put that loop around the switch statement.The "how to deal with it" was already presented.
But atleast then it would be from my failure to comprehend my book, and not from the misdirection of others on this forum. In all honesty, I plan on getting other books, and if I find myself frustrated with this one, I'll likely drop it in favor of another and yet another. If, however, I use the knowledge presented to me here on this forum, at a time I'm not prepared for, it would likely cause me trouble later on down the road. This of course assumes that the book in would prepare me before telling me about said functions, which it very well may not. I prefer to learn from the ground up. Your functions may be better, but I feel it would be valuable to understand why they're better suited for certain tasks, and before I can understand that, I would have to first understand why scanf is considered flawed. If I have a half-decent book, I think it plausable that the book would point these things out to me later on down the road, where I'd have a better chance of comprehending exactly what it is you're trying to get across by reccomending alternate functions to me.Even worse, if you don't listen to the presented advice, you may become discouraged with programming altogether.
Right now, I'm hoping in the next few chapters my book will point out the buffer problem associated with scanf, and show me these great new functions you guys are talking about. If not, I'll take a break from the book and seriously look into the functions mentioned.

Brewery ensures its facility is energy-efficient
Revolution Brewing has upgraded its Chicago facility to include several energy-efficient systems, including highly efficient lighting and heat recovery.
Tate Walker, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, senior project manager from Energy Center of Wisconsin, talks with Amara Rozgus, editor in chief/content manager of Consulting-Specifying Engineer, about the energy-efficient systems Chicago's Revolution Brewing incorporated into its facility.
The owner and design team used incentives and technical assistance from local utility companies (the ComEd and Nicor New Construction Service) to support energy-efficient elements in the lighting design and other aspects of the retrofit.
Revolution Brewery is a new Chicago craft brewery. It's housed in a 43,000-sq-ft renovation of an existing warehouse in the Logan Square neighborhood, and earned the "Best Chicago Microbrewery" award from Time Out Chicago in 2013. The building includes both a large brewing operation and a tasting taproom.
Learn about the energy incentives and the brewery's operation in this video.

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.

Moscow recommends citizens to refrain from visiting Iraq following abduction of eight Russians
Eight Russian citizens have been kidnapped in the southern suburbs of Baghdad, Russia's Itar-Tass news agency confirmed Tuesday. Several hours later, Interfax reported the eight Russian workers had been released.
Interfax quoted an unnamed senior source in the Interenergoservis firm - the company the eight worked for -as saying all eight had been released and were now at home. Three of the workers were Russian and the other five were Ukrainian nationals.
Late Monday, the Qatari television channel Al-Jazeera reported that 11 Russian specialists had been taken hostage. However, Itar-Tass said this number was not accurate. Information on a gunbattle during their seizure has not been confirmed either, the news agency added.
The eight Russians, who worked as adjusters with the maintenance staff at the Southern Dora thermal power station were driven to an unknown location. Some 20 masked gunmen kidnapped the Russians when they were having a rest in the yard of their house after work, the Russian report disclosed.
Alexander Yakovenko, spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said in an interview with Itar-Tass on Tuesday that the eight were employees of the Russian company Interenergoservice.
According to his information, the Russian embassy in Baghdad was making efforts to find out all the circumstances of the incident and to secure the release of the abducted people.
The Russian Foreign Ministry strongly recommended Russian citizens to refrain from visiting Iraq because of the "dramatic" worsening of the situation in that country. (Albawaba.com)

Condo of the Day: 1 Main Street, #2H
Most of the units we've seen at 1 Main Street tend to have a similar look and feel, but this new listing on the second floor has managed to create its own look, in no small part because of a raised portion of the living room and some very modern leanings in the design department. The 2,000-square-foot pad has two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms and its corner orientation means lots of light and windows. The asking price is $1,850,000, not unreasonable on a per square foot basis for this part of town.

Montreal's Icy Sparkle
Despite its fragile economy and faded exterior, Montreal retains an allure that's hard to find in other parts of North America. The French-Canadian culture and language give the city a European feel, yet English speakers can still move around with ease. Its location 37 miles from the U.S. border and a Canadian dollar that's worth about 65 cents U.S. make it especially attractive to Americans looking for a quick getaway. No wonder more than 10 million people visit each year, including about 1.5 million Americans.
But few foreigners think of visiting in winter. January temperatures average in the teens, and snow can easily exceed the height of most boots. While it's possible to traverse the city center through a subterranean network of shops, hanging out underground is no way to experience wintry Montreal.
Pack a warm parka, and you'll find plenty of reasons to venture outside. Heading the list is the Montreal High Lights Festival, or Montreal en Lumière, which runs from Feb. 13 to Mar. 1. The city is alive with fireworks, outdoor performances, and a sprawling roster of other cultural events. Numerous streets, monuments, and famous landmarks, such as Notre Dame Basilica, are also illuminated. Several top-name acts normally come to town, while dozens of theaters, orchestras, dance troupes, and others host special events. A culinary festival will feature workshops, wine and food tastings, and dining specials with guest chefs from around the world.
Montreal boasts most of the marquee luxury hotel brands, including Ritz-Carlton, Westin, Inter-Continental, Fairmont, and Loews hotels. Good hotel rooms can be had for the equivalent of $150 U.S. per night. More important, the city is a dining delight. A personal favorite: Gibbys, a fabulous steakhouse located in the 200-year-old Youville Stables in Old Montreal. You can order wine, appetizers, and dessert along with your entrée and still pay less than $100 a couple for a romantic meal. Before or after you eat, take some time to wander around the streets of Old Montreal and the Old Port. In winter, horse-drawn sleighs depart from Jacques-Cartier Pier, and skaters head for the massive Bonsecours Basin Skating Rink.
A winter weekend in Montreal offers other pleasures. Head downtown to the Casino de Montréal for gambling and the musical variety shows of its Cabaret. Take in a Montreal Canadiens hockey game at the Molson Centre on St. Antoine Street West. Walk around Mount Royal, which offers fabulous views of the city. Explore the architecture and vibrant student life at Canada's top-ranked McGill University or go shopping in the malls and stores along funky St. Catherine Street. (If you spend at least $150 on hotels and items during your stay, you'll be able to claim back much of the 7% federal goods-and-services tax at duty-free shops near border crossings.) When you get hungry, munch on local specialties such as tortière, or meat pie, baked beans, pea soup, or poutine, an addictive concoction of french fries, gravy, and cheese curds sold throughout the city.
And you must try Montreal bagels. They're smaller and chewier than their New York counterparts and, locals insist, far tastier. The most famous spots are Fairmount Bagel Bakery at 74 Fairmount Ave. West and St. Viateur Bagels, which is at 263 St. Viateur West, and various other spots around the city. The stores are all open 24 hours, and Montrealers fiercely debate whose product is better.
The Montreal winter can be a challenge, but it's worth the trouble. Indeed, you might find that the white wonderland is a welcome relief from the slush and damp chill that typifies winter in other cities. While the cafés may move indoors and locals may bundle up, Montreal remains a lively destination even during the coldest months.
