Recently one of CIC's analysts bought a car via "group purchase" (i.e. 团购) and shared her experience on our Chinese language seeisee blog here. I thought it was pretty interesting, so I have put a translation below. This one "group purchase" brought the sales of 55 cars to the one dealer who accepted it. Not too small…
I think this is a fine example of how IWOM is not only influencing purchase decisions, but also the way people make purchases.
Group automobile purchasing is nothing new – we wrote about it on our Chinese blog in 2007 and in a recent IWOM watch. As a researcher specializing in automobile industry IWOM, I've watched these trends develop for some time, but I never thought that I myself would be part of a group purchase. Below I've outlined my experience for everyone.
Since I spend my working life studying auto IWOM and reading consumers' views on, I've had my eye on a few car models for quite some time, and I've just been waiting for the right time to buy one. Not long ago, I saw a group purchase post about one of the models I've been thinking about and responded, and began my own group purchase journey.
First Steps: Normally a netizen will post a message in their desired car model's forum stating the group purchase price, conditions, insurance, and other details. The message will also include a QQ group number for that group purchase. Anyone interested in participating in the group purchase can join the QQ group and continue discussing the details of the purchase.
Communication: Interested netizens join the QQ group and discuss the particulars of the group purchase with the group leader (generally, the person who initiates the group purchase is called the group leader, and those who participate are called group members). The group leader plays a very important role in the group purchase process. On one side, he communicates with group members and collects their specific requirements like the car model, color, etc. Sometimes, the workload is such that the group leader will distribute some of the workload to some group members.
On the other side, the group leader acts as the group's representative in talks with car dealers, working to get the best deal for the group while at the time same time passing information back to the group and discussing counteroffers. In this way, the group leader is a window through which group members receive the latest information about their group purchase. Though this bi-directional communication, a dealer and the terms of sale are established.
Making the Purchase: The last step is to meet at a predetermined time at the car dealer to pick up the cars. At the dealer, the members of the group finally meet each other face-to-face for the first time.
It may seem that the group car purchase has ended, but in fact though the purchase process is over the after-purchase communication between the members is only just beginning.
Through the group purchase process, group members become familiar with each other, and, as they are all owners of the same kind of car, they tend to interact even more than normal netizens. Many group purchase group members continue to visit their QQ group, sharing their experiences with their new cars. Group members will often organize together again to purchase accessories and upgrades, or meet for offline activities. Once the group purchase is over, the group leader's leadership position and influence continues on. When group members encounter problems with their cars, they often out of habit seek out the group leader, and future group purchases and offline activities are often organized by the group leader.
We've found that recently, as the global financial crisis deepens, car buyers have become increasingly rational. Group purchase posts are a common sight in every car forum. Group purchases are an excellent solution for car buyers seeking more value, and through group purchases new car clubs are formed from what was once an anonymous group of netizens.

Man sentenced to 25 years for robbery, assault on 80-year-old woman
A man convicted of robbery, burglary and assault for pistol-whipping and choking an 80-year-old woman was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison by State Supreme Court Justice Christopher Burns, Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III announced Tuesday.
Tige Billingsley, 32, was already on parole for burglary convictions when he invaded the woman's Buffalo home and duct-taped her, authorities said. He then pistol-whipped her, stomped upon her and choked her to unconsciousness, according to Sedita.
Billingsley fled Erie County but was captured in Arizona, officials said. He already had 15 criminal convictions, four of which were for violent felonies, authorities said.

The director of the Vatican Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi, asked delegates gathered at the United Nations Climate Change Conference currently taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark, to remember that everyone must assume their responsibility in the area of climate change and focus on its impact on the poor.
Father Lombarid's editorial this week for Vatican TV's news program, "'Octava Dies," is entitled, "Copenhagen and Us."
"For a long time climatic and environmental concerns seemed to many to be a luxury - concerns of the rich."
However, he continued, environmental concerns were also found to have a great impact on the poor.
"When there is drought or when there are environmental disasters, the poor are the first to suffer and die. Those who are in safer places or have more resources to nourish or protect themselves can cope better with the declining environmental conditions," he said.
In this sense, Father Lombardi explained, "We must worry about the health of the planet for everyone's sake, especially for the poor. The planet is like an organism in which imbalances are reflected in each other." He continued adding that, "the altered composition of the atmosphere, the rise of sea levels, the reduced clean fresh water supplies, changes in rainfall and hurricanes, soil erosion and desertification, damage to agriculture and human health," all depend "largely on the behavior and choices of humans."
"The Copenhagen conference on climate will be considered a success or a failure based on the commitments of governments, especially those of larger countries. 'Magic' figures on reductions of harmful gas emissions and on fundraising will be announced," but ultimately, "it all depends on the behavior of us inhabitants of the Earth, who are all too accustomed to passing responsibility on to others," Father Lombardi said.

The rest of us are back on our grind, still taking Twinkies for granted (and Bruce Jenner is getting wasted in his Malibu beachfront property). The perky palm trees just continue to blow in the direction of the KarTrashians. Kris Jenner,(Kardashian wanna-be), snorts the spotlight herself with the highly-anticipated debut of her well earned "pop culture driven" daytime talk show. The infamous family is known for their Va Jay jay popping in social media, attention raping, and media hogging ways. This is Kardashian Country, and fans will wait forever to get a glimpse of baby North West. The royal's baby may as well stay in his or hers uppity womb.
Although the camera loves Jenner, she fell flat within the first five minutes with her boring prolonged story about the birth of Nori West. Had North been born later, or her show's debut would have premiered earlier, this corny opening may have worked. But it failed – Kris trembled and squinted at the cue cards, but it was not funny enough The show is starving for new writers that want Kris to win instead of wanting her money.
The chef feature was completely unnecessary. Viewers likely expected a better guest than "Hollywood Exes" belly dancer and ex-wife of Prince, Mayte Garcia. It would have been better if she featured a bigger star, or brought attention to a relevant cause. "Kris," a one-hour program, runs for six weeks on select FOX stations.
Kris Jenner could launch into national syndication, as long as she continues to pimp the Hollywood fame game like she's doing to Kylie, Kendall , and her grandkids. She opens, and closes the entire first episode blabbing about her family while Hoe-EEE and Kourtney (fake smiling) are there as support.
Kris pretended to "set the record straight" about all the stories she and her family creates themselves. Playing up to her whorish last name, the married mother flirted relentlessly – but sadly, Kris Jenner looked amazing. Her co-host is handsome, but obviously just an accessory. The TV audience went away with the image of Jenner swaddling a fake baby North West, nobody got the joke or saw the point.
Ryan Seacrest has also supposedly made Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick a massive offer to do their own reality show – just them and the kids. Will Kourtney marry for the cameras? This is the perfect time for both Kris and Kourtney since Kim is perfecting her mothering skills, and Khloe is shopping for a new showmance husband. Kardashians give us life, but we don't need a talk show version of her reality series.

I've been fascinated by the simplicity of batch files for quite some time, but now I'm trying to expand their capabilities.
The first thing I've tried is a simple randomizer. It works quite well if I just return the random integer, then use 'if errorlevel' in the batch file, but to make things easier, I wanted to allow the randomizer to directly set a variable in the console.
To do this, I tried
which did not work, even though printing setcmd showed it held the right console command.Code:if (argv[3] != '\0') { snprintf(setcmd, sizeof(setcmd), "set %s=%d", argv[3], r); system(setcmd); }
The weird thing is, other commands such as "echo Foo" and "cls" work, it's just "set var=num" that doesn't.
Any explanation as to why it is so and/or how to go around it would be much appreciated.

Methodologies For Analysis And Evaluation Of Risk In Agricultural Exploitations
Risk is a probabilistic phenomena associated with all economic activities. Size and charge decisions to reduce risk is greater in agriculture, given the conditions in which the production is obtained. Whether is about the risk of production, caused by natural or economic risk factors, influenced by the inherent market interventions, in agricultural exploitations the risk appears to be least controllable variable, making it necessary to use methodology for its analysis and evaluation. This paper supports the assertion that the risk is even lower as the knowledge from the past tendencies of phenomena (production, price, demand, supply, state natural factors) is more analytical and addresses the issue risk management by its evaluation, turning to methods, indicators, mathematical modeling. The aim is to highlight the positive effects of prevision, using the specific methods and indicators, and to reveal that programming has, in addition to the direct role to guide agricultural unit in respect of the allocation of resources, prevision production, income and expenditure, the role to prevision size of risk, through its inclusion in the program.

USFS seeks comments on proposed drilling
The Stillwater mining company's proposal for drilling is seeking public comment as reported by the USFS in last week's Carbon County News. CCN asked the USFS to discuss their role in such requests, specifically regarding whether animal habitat was a consideration in granting permit requests in general for drilling and what the specific nature was of this request for "mineral exploration," a broad area. The USFS provided two responses that explained the nature of the request and how the mining company works with the USFS in practicing disclosure. Beartooth Ranger District's District Ranger Traute Parrie responded first. "Yes, the USFS has a role in protecting habitat. As stated in the scoping letter, this is not the 1st application for exploratory drilling in the area My understanding is there is no fracking involved in this drilling for PGM minerals – this is not related to oil and gas." Dan Seifert, Assistant Forest Geologist for Custer National Forest responded with further details. "Fracking is used to faci l i tate hydrocarbon extraction. No fracking or hydrocarbon extraction is currently proposed on the Beartooth Ranger District. SMC's proposal is to extract samples of drill core for evaluation of mineral and geologic properties in support of ongoing hard rock mining. The rock that SMC is proposing to drill is part of the Stillwater Complex, which is an igneous intrusion. The Stillwater Complex does not contain sedimentary shales." Seifert said that he is unaware of any data indicating that the rocks of the Stillwater Complex contain radioactive metals or mercury. A recent study in the Dakotas revealed significant mercury surrounding fracking sites. Fur thermore, SMC informs the USFS on all drill additives. "Based on past mineral exploration projects of a similar nature, no use of mercury is anticipated. Similar to past projects, SMC will provide Mater ial Safety Dat a Sheets for all drill additives they use. Based on MSDS from drill additives used in past similar exploratory drilling projects, the substances most likely utilized would have no potential to bioaccumulate and are not toxic to fish, microorganisms, and humans." Seifert then responded to USFS' role in habitat. "Regarding the USFS's role in managing habitat, numerous mitigation measures are included in SMC's Plan of Operations to try to minimize or eliminate effects to wildlife and habitat. Based on the environmental analysis, additional measures may also be required. Effects to habitat for Threatened, Endangered, Sensitive, and Forest Plan Management Indicator Species will specifically be considered and disclosed as part of the environmental analysis process. He added, "Because there are threatened species and habitats in the proposed drilling area, the findings specific to these species and habitats will also be reviewed by US Fish and Wildlife Service." For anyone who would l ike addi t ional detai l regarding the current Stillwater Mining Company proposal, the request for comment letter is on the following website beneath the "Under Analysis" heading toward the bottom of the page: http://prdp2fs.ess. usda.gov/projects/custer/ landmanagement/projects. The decision document approving a similar 2012 proposal (Decision Memo for the 2012 Surface Exploration Drilling Plan of Operations - Portal and 23.0 drill sites) can also be viewed on the same webpage under the "Project S c o p i n g d o c ume n t s " heading.

Asia to overtake U.S. as Israel's biggest exporter
Israel's economy minister Naftali Bennet said the Jewish state will take steps towards a free trade agreement with India and China (File/AFP)

The Asian region will overtake the U.S. as Israel's second biggest export destination this year, the Economy Ministry said.
The region is expected to come in as Israel's second-largest trade partner for 2014 behind the European Union, shifting the United States into third place, according to the ministry's Foreign Trade Authority. In 2013, exports to Asia nearly equaled those to the U.S. for the first time, coming within 0.6 percentage points as a share of total exports.
When countries are not clustered into regional groups, however, the United States remains Israel's largest single trade partner.
The ministry expects exports to Asia to grow from 21 percent of total exports in 2013, to 24.5% in 2018, while combined exports to the EU and US will shrink from a 63% share to 59.9%.
Exports to all other countries amounted to 16% in 2013, and are projected to fall to 15.5% by 2018.
A decade ago, Asia accounted for just 15% of Israeli exports, while the US provided more than a third of the market, Foreign Trade Authority director- general Ohad Cohen said.
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett highlighted the ministry's attempt to bolster exports to Asia, such as focusing more commercial attachés on the region and taking steps toward free-trade agreements with China and India. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has cited developing markets in Asia as a growth engine for Israel.
While the ministry emphasized the increasing importance of the Asian market and the persistent growth of Israel's exports since the 2008 global financial crisis, it scaled back its expectations for overall export growth for 2014.
"The export forecast for 2014 is lower than the previous forecast, and stands at 4.2% as a result of disappointing growth and expected demand from India and Brazil, and the expected stagnation in demand from countries such as Canada, Turkey and Holland," said Cohen.
For Asia, the ministry revised expected growth from 8.5% down to 4.7%. Despite the reduction, growth in exports to Asia is still expected to outpace those to the United States (1.3%) and Europe (1.5%).
According to figures from the Foreign Trade Authority, industrial exports to Asia will grow 1.9% in 2014 and rebound to 4.2% in 2015.
The ministry's projections were based on import data from 20 countries, a survey of 75% of Israel's export market and macroeconomic data collected from international bodies such as the World Trade Organization and the World Bank.

Malaysia is not a good place to violate "internal security," a vague offense that allows authorities to lock up suspects and hold them indefinitely with no trial.
But the Muslim-majority nation's draconian "Internal Security Act" -- which forbids infractions ranging from unauthorized protest to terrorism -- is under increasing pressure.
Human Rights Watch and other groups have demanded its repeal. And there are increasing hints that the harsh law may be softened.
According to the Kuala Lumpur-based Star Online, the government may finally allow any citizen over the age of 21 to gather peacefully without a permit.
But the government insists it won't scrap a code allowing police to detain anyone accused of militancy or terrorism indefinitely and without trial.
Their justification?
The U.S. has a similar law. It's called the Patriot Act.
"So, please don't have double standards and we don't want hypocrisy in this matter," said Malaysia's Home Minister according to the Star.
Despite America's push for freedom and transparency in Asia, the U.S. is in no position to pressure the Malays on this one.
Since 2003, America has confined two Malaysian al-Qaeda affiliates at Guantanamo. Both are profiled in Global Post's piece "Osama bin Laden's Asian Disciples."

help me understand how this significant figure calculation is right please!
2.4301x10^1 + 3.125x10^1 x 3.2x10^- 1 = 3.4x10^1
How is that possible I thought it would be 3.430x10^1 because in my intermediate answer for addition I got 55.551 but I am considering the least significant decimal places of 31.35. which is 2 decimal places, technically only 55.55 is what matters. I plug the whole thing in order (otherwise if i do it in chunks i get 0.18 as an answer) after taking them out of scientific notation and i get 34.301. to my comprehension that answer should be rounded to however many sigfigs my intermediate answer was , which was 55.55> 4 sig figs. ( and 2 decimal places such as the 31.25) so to me the answer would be 3.430x10^1. Where did I go wrong?

Danny Rose reveals Erik Lamela's 'disgust' with top four doubts as Spurs title belief grows
Tottenham Hotspur's Danny Rose has recalled the moment he expressed doubt over their top-four credentials with Érik Lamela, only to be greeted with "disgust" from his Argentine team-mate.
The 25-year-old left-back scored the winner as Spurs overturned a one-goal deficit to defeat Swansea City on Sunday and move within two points of Premier League leaders Leicester City.
Mauricio Pochettino, the Tottenham manager, has banished any talk of lifting a first title since 1961 and Rose admits he is wary of becoming "carried away" by their success.
When asked about their chances of winning the League, the Leeds United youth academy graduate defender said: "I refuse to believe... no, I'd like to believe we can, but I don't want to think that.
"Before the Manchester City game [which Spurs won 2-1] I was having dinner with Érik Lamela and I was still asking him if he reckoned we can finish top four. I've never seen someone look at me with such disgust. He said: 'My friend, we can win the league.'
"I realise the position we are in but I don't want to get too carried away. Games like the one Leicester had on Saturday [a 1-0 win against Norwich], with them scoring in the last minute, you never know, it could be a pivotal moment for them.
"Come the end of the season, I hope me scoring the winner against Swansea can be a pivotal moment for Tottenham. I hope it's a vital goal. I haven't seen a goalkeeping performance like Łukasz Fabiański's in my whole career. But we showed a great attitude and we didn't go under."

Panthers make their mark at state track meet
Senior Derrek Pedersen, junior Maddie Skaalrud and sophomore Brett Johnson all made their marks on the St. Croix Central track program this season, capped by appearances in the 2009 WIAA State Track and Field Championships over the weekend.
Pedersen is the state meet veteran, competing in his second straight state track meet. He and Johnson were also part of the Panther cross country team that competed at state last fall.
Skaalrud and Johnson were making their first attempts at the WIAA state track meet.
Pedersen ran late on Saturday, after a day of heavy rain in La Crosse. Pedersen was hoping to reach the 1:59 mark in his 800-meter race, but like many runners, the wet conditions slowed his pace slightly. He was able to place 13th in the race, with a time of 2:01.53. This is an improvement over this 14th place finish last year, when he ran a time of 2:01.94.
"He would have gotten there," Central coach Amanda Webb said of Pedersen's 1:59 goal. "There's nothing you can do about the weather."
Johnson attracted many people's attention with the way he approached his 3,200 meter race on Friday. Johnson was the bottom seed in the race. That didn't stop him from going out and running with the lead pack for the first half of the race.
Johnson ran fearlessly. His goal was to complete the race in fewer than 10 minutes and he achieved that goal, finishing in 9:58.74. He took ninth place, beating six runners who had entered the race with better sectional times.
Johnson came back and ran in the 1,600 meters on Saturday. The race was run at the height of the downpour, with Johnson finishing 12th among 15 runners. His time was 4:50.01.
Webb said she thought Johnson's ambitious race on Friday left him with little energy for Saturday's 1,600. Johnson was one of two sophomores in the state 1,600 and he was one of two sophomores in the 3,200.
Skaalrud is the first Central girl to qualify for the WIAA state meet since Keely Tharp was a multiple state champion for the Panthers a decade ago. She went on to be a NCAA Division 1 track standout at Brown University.
Skaalrud reached the state meet in the 100-meter dash. She finished with a time of 13.21, which wasn't enough to get her into the state finals.
Webb said reaching state was a big accomplishment for Skaalrud and gives her incentive to aim higher for next season.
Last year Pedersen was the first Panther to reach state in several years. With three Panthers reaching state this year, the Central coaches believe that the program has adjusted to competing in Division 2. A weight program has been started at the school to keep the success going. The lifting program will be run over the summer. Webb said the goal is to have every SCC athlete lifting every day.
"We're working as an entire athletic program to get kids into the weight room," she said.

Although it can't be seen there was a white spot at the end of the abdomen.
That's an Ichneumon wasp in the Cryptinae sub-family. Perhaps Agrothereutes sp. which have brachypterous (shorter than body length) wings. Compare to a very similar one I found recently:

Cliftonville ready to rule
Jaimie McGovern is clinging to the hope that Linfield suffer a 'David Moyes-style hangover' and is warning that Cliftonville could be the kings of Irish League football for many more years.
The Reds are basking in the glory of back-to-back title success – the first time the club has achieved the feat in its 135-year history.
Tommy Breslin's charges have proved they have the winning mentality and talent to keep hold of the Gibson Cup but while confidence is overflowing at Solitude, the Irish League's most successful club – Linfield – face an uncertain future.
David Jeffrey, who guided the Blues to nine league titles in a trophy-laden spell as boss, is leaving the Windsor Park stage after just over 17 years in the hotseat.
Former Northern Ireland international Warren Feeney will pick up the Linfield baton in his first managerial role and fans will look on with interest to see whether the 33-year-old will sink or swim in the post.
Former Everton supremo Moyes was axed as Manchester United boss after he failed to maintain the standards set by Sir Alex Ferguson, who won 38 trophies in a 26-year reign at Old Trafford.
Now Cliftonville fans are hoping the new Linfield boss fails to deliver in similar fashion to Moyes.
Reds centre-back McGovern said: "Whatever happens across the road at Windsor Park it's a bit like a David Moyes-Sir Alex Ferguson scenario with the manager having very big boots to fill.
"David (Jeffrey) has been very successful in everything he has done and I'm perhaps hoping they will suffer the same fate as United but we will stick to our motto which is looking after ourselves.
"We all recognise there is an expectation level now that Cliftonville teams of the past have not had to deal with.
"After the title win in 1998 the Reds slipped into a relegation battle but we are at the top on merit even though we won it (the league) more convincingly last season.
"This race was tougher and that's why it's a more satisfying win. Going into next season we are signing players in the right areas and we are setting our stall out so that teams know we are here to stay."
McGovern (below), who joined the Reds from Glentoran in May 2012, has been blown away by the success he has enjoyed across the city and he singled out boss Tommy Breslin and the club's chairman Gerard Lawlor for praise.
"This team is a huge credit to Bressy but also Gerard Lawlor as well as he has secured and attracted players, not on a massive budget but the players here are devoted to the team and want to win silverware," he added.
"Bressy said to me two years ago after I left Glentoran that 'Jaimie, I think you are the final piece in our puzzle that will go and win us the league'.
"Of course I was optimistic but deep down did I really believe him? The expectations then were that Cliftonville would qualify for Europe but Tommy was right to aim higher than that.
"I don't think what we have achieved will sink in for some time."
McGovern admitted there were times during the season when he thought the club would struggle to cross the line first and make history.
"There's no doubt there were times when I thought winning the title was going to be very difficult for us," said the 24-year-old, who made 136 appearances for Glentoran.
"We always believed in our ability but I think we were sitting in sixth position at one time in November. We had problems around the spine of our team and we lacked consistency.
"Marc Smyth was out, I was out, Janty (Barry Johnston) was missing, Cats (Ryan Catney) was out and we had a few niggly injuries.
"Teams like Warrenpoint Town were putting it up to us and we struggled.
"Teams had renewed belief that they could get something at Solitude. They tried to frustrate us and we struggled but since Christmas we have performed in the big games and the run of 31 points from a possible 33 is huge credit to the lads and Bressy.
"Some people say strikers win you matches but defences win you leagues and we have both the best defensive record and best attacking record. Goalkeeper Conor Devlin has been inspirational for us and it's a real honour for me to be playing alongside the guys at the back."

Home healthcare companies made an average 19.4% profit in 2010, a report released Thursday shows, prompting MedPAC to again ask Congress to lower reimbursement rates for these companies. The home healthcare industry is fighting a proposed law that would require them to pay employees minimum wage and overtime. Mark Miller, MedPAC's executive director, said the board expects the industry to see a 19.8% profit margin in 2013 from Medicare.

July brings several reasons for the Eichers to celebrate
We are having thunderstorms most of the evening. Our rain gauge shows like we have over two inches of rain already. I do think we have more because the wind is blowing the rain so it might not be quite the accurate amount going in.
We also had a thunderstorm last night and received a half inch of rain.
We were in need of rain so we decided to water the garden. I told the boys maybe if we water the garden we will get rain. The rain clouds all seemed to go over us, but soon after the garden was watered, the rain and storms arrived.
My husband Joe and sons Benjamin and Joseph spent the day fishing on the nearby lake on Saturday. They came home with around 50 bluegill, perch and crappies. Tonight we fried the fish for our supper along with hash browns and potatoes, cheese, ice cream and strawberries.
Today on our "to do" list was to mop the floors, make strawberry freezer jam and weed the garden. Seemed we were done early. When all the children pitch in to help, the work goes faster. It's nice to be done early and have a long, relaxing evening.
Corn detasseling should be starting sometime after the Fourth of July. Next week Joe and daughter Elizabeth both have the week off for their annual vacation. I'm sure that week will go way too fast for them. So far we don't have any special plans for the week.
On Monday, July 1, daughter Loretta turned 13. Wow! Our fifth teenager in the house. We, as parents, sure cannot complain though. They are all good children and we pray God will always be their guide through life.
Son Benjamin will be 14 on July 14 and son Joseph will be 11 on July 24. Then Joe and I will have our 20th anniversary on July 15. The month of July always brings cake and ice cream.
Sister Emma will be 40 on July 19th and her youngest son, Steven, will be 6 in July. One year after another passes by and all at once we stop to think, where has all the time has gone?
Jacob and Emma's oldest daughter Elizabeth, age 16, will be having surgery on Thursday in a hospital about three hours away. She has to stay overnight, so their four other children plan to come here until they are back home.
Hopefully everything will go OK. They can be back by Friday night.
Son Kevin, 7, is so excited about his cousin Steven coming for the night. He has all kinds of plans on what they can do.
This is now Wednesday morning. We received another inch of rain through the night making a total of 3 1/2 inches of rain this week so far.
The wind blew my sweet corn over. I'm hoping it will stand back up. Otherwise everything looks OK except there are a few branches here and there.

Accused of shooting up fentanyl on the job
Medical board says UCSD anesthesiologist had been to Betty Ford
Don Bauder 9 a.m., Nov. 23
The first thing I heard was a "pang" cymbal, which bummed me out. It's one of those cymbals that has the edges folded up. They were popular in the late '80s. Everything else was pretty good. I liked the Descendents 20 years ago, and if [Plane Without a Pilot] came out when the Descendents did, they would have been on top of shit. They're probably listening to somebody who listened to the Descendents…like Good Charlotte — isn't that one of those bands? What's the other band? My Secret Funeral? I don't even know if that's a band. But, yeah, they sound like those bands. It's not bad. They've got good melodies and shit. There are teenagers out there waiting to listen to that and get bummed out.
I thought it was all right. It lacked a little bit of the soul and scratchiness that I like in the country music that I listen to, but it had a really beautiful intro. Lyrically, it could have been a little bit better. What I got from it was leaving all the stresses of life behind and drinking some whiskey and not worrying. They had a female singer and some really crispy acoustic guitar. I thought I heard a little lap steel in there, but I could be wrong. I could see that on a country radio station. They were very good musicians. The guitar intro was especially well played. I picture some sort of outdoor festival when I hear that song.
I thought it was pretty good for what it was. It sounds like a lot of other underground rappers that I've heard. The beat was all right, but it gets a little boring. It's the same thing the whole time. It was better than a lot of other beats that are out now, though. The first rapper had a style similar to Aesop Rock, and the second guy had much better rhymes and I couldn't really compare him to anybody. They made a lot of San Diego references, which is cool, and they talked about smoking pot, which is cool, I guess. I think they could have an underground following, but I don't think they'll be on MTV. I would probably have to light up a joint and sit back and relax in sunny San Diego to that song.

Child says she was approached by a suspicious man
CAMBRIA –An Andrews Road girl told Niagara County sheriff's deputies that she saw a dark green truck behind her school bus Monday afternoon which pulled into a driveway after she left the bus.
The girl said a man got out of the truck and began to approach her, but she ran into her house and the man then left, heading east on Andrews Road. The man did not say anything.
The girl's parents researched the Niagara County Sex Offender Watch website and found a person that the girl believes could have been the suspicious man.
The truck is described as dark green, dirty, with mud splashes around the wheels, an unknown object hanging from the door and black trim around the doors.
The Niagara County sheriff department was ordered to patrol the area during the bus route time.

State Rep. Toles fears action will encourage discrimination in construction industry
In what can best be described as a stealth move that only came to light this week, Gov. Scott Walker recently suspended an executive order requiring minority and women apprentices on state construction projects.
On March 9, amidst the rancor of controversy and protests over his efforts to deny state unions collective bargaining and a proposed state budget that many observers have described as "draconian" because it severely cuts state aid for a number of quality-of-life programs,
Walker quietly signed Executive Order No. 18, which suspended Executive Order No. 108 requiring employers awarded state construction contracts to participate in Wisconsin's apprenticeship program.
Many minority workforce advocates claimed the apprenticeship program was the only path to employment in the construction trades for minorities and women.
"Again, with a single stroke of his pen, Governor Walker has set our state back decades by eliminating the only 'tool' we have to provide training and support to those starting out in the construction trades," said Milwaukee State Rep. Barbara Toles upon learning of the governor's action.
Toles said news of Walker's action first came to light on the Department of Workforce Development's website, notifying contractors they "are no longer subject to the apprentice utilization requirements" and "in all cases, no further compliance investigations or determinations, including those that are pending, will be made by the Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards."
"This is a victory for Walker's campaign supporters and a crushing defeat for the thousands of minorities and women who have long been excluded from the family-sustaining jobs found in the construction trades," Toles said in a statement.
Walker's decision is particularly shocking in light of a recent audit of the State's Apprenticeship Program conducted by the non-partisan Legislative Audit Bureau (LAB).
Released in September 2010, the LAB's report, "An Evaluation: Minorities and Women in Construction Trade Apprenticeship," found that: "Many eligible minorities and women are unable to find apprenticeships; the Department of Workforce Development was not doing enough to require contractors to hire apprentices on state projects; and that more needed to be done to remedy the significant under-representation of minorities and women in both the apprenticeship program, and correspondingly, in the construction trades themselves."
Toles, who once chaired the Committee of Workforce Development, said the suspension of Executive Order No. 108 does the opposite.
"It leaves those seeking apprenticeships statewide with little hope of obtaining the training needed to secure employment in the construction trades," Toles stated, adding the suspension further delays the development of a skilled workforce that will be essential to Wisconsin's economic recovery.
The Milwaukee assemblywoman noted Walker's disregard for these injustices would be inexplicable if not for a recent quote in the Daily Reporter by a lobbyist for the Associated Builders and Contractors of Wisconsin (ABCWI).
On January 4 of this year, one day after the governor's inauguration, John Mielke, vice president of ABCWI, said "the first thing I'd like the governor to do is rescind Executive Order 108."
"A lobbyist speaks and two months later his wish is granted. This is, unfortunately, indicative of the new brand of responsive government ushered in by the Walker Administration.
Toles said if construction contractors feel the rules put in place to prevent discrimination are too onerous, they should find a model that does not depend on being awarded state contracts.
"Women and minorities make up more than 50% of the citizens of this state, and at the very least deserve an equal opportunity to the jobs that are paid for with their tax dollars.
"It is a sad day when the Governor of Wisconsin thinks that the price of discouraging discrimination among employers seeking government contracts is something we cannot afford.
"The Wisconsin I know and love can always afford to do what is right, and it is my hope that with greater attention to this important issue, Executive Order No. 108 will be reinstated, and move us a step closer towards our common goal of putting all Wisconsinites to work.

Erythema nodosum is an inflammatory disorder that involves tender, red bumps (nodules) under the skin.
In about half of cases, the exact cause of erythema nodosum is unknown. Some cases may occur with:
Other disorders linked to this condition include leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoidosis, rheumatic fever, Bechet's disease, and ulcerative colitis.
The condition is more common in women than it is in men.
Erythema nodosum is most common on the shins, but it may also occur on other areas of the body (buttocks, calves, ankles, thighs, and arms).
The lesions begin as flat, firm, hot, red, painful lumps approximately an inch across. Within a few days they may become purplish, then over several weeks fade to a brownish, flat patch.
Other symptoms may include:
The red and inflamed skin symptoms may regress to a bruise-like appearance.
Your doctor can diagnose this condition by looking at your skin. Tests that may be done include:
The underlying infection, drug, or disease should be identified and treated.
Treatment may include:
Erythema nodosum is uncomfortable, but it is usually not dangerous.
Symptoms usually go away within about 6 weeks, but may return.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of erythema nodosum.

ABBA fans rejoice! There's a 25% chance ABBA might reunite!
For about 30 years now, they've been denying any intentions of reuniting, but now Agnetha Fältskog (the blond one) says she is open to a reunion with her old band mates.
She says: "A reunion, at a one-time occasion, perhaps for some benefit is something I think we all could consider… We will hardly reunite for a tour like The Rolling Stones and other old bands do. But I can consider us doing something in the future."
Abba's last performance together was on British TV in December 1982.
They sort of reunited, or more like appeared together again, at the Swedish premiere of the film Mamma Mia!
And then, when they were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, only Lyngstad and Andersson attended the ceremony.
Now, if you really miss them and you can't wait, may be you could Take a Chance (wink) and go to the Snoqualmie Casino on January 6, when Arrival, an Abba tribute band from Sweden Will be performing. Here's the info on the event.
And here's some Dancing Queen, so take your shoes off and start moving!

A Low Complexity Clustering Approach Enabling Context Awareness in Sparse VANETs
This paper deals with a clustering approach for VANETs operating in sparse highway scenarios. The proposed protocol is able to keep high and stable the network connectivity level to allow data exchange among nodes and, thus, achieving context awareness. The criterion adopted in forming a cluster involves the periodic distributed evaluation of connectivity indicators combining the number of neighbors and their distances, without excessive signaling overhead. In this way, data propagation leverages on vehicles physical movements instead of setting up a communications backbone, which cannot properly face a high mobility level. The performance has been analyzed in a practical scenario adopting IEEE 802.11p communications standard.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Brazilian prosecutors filed lawsuits against six construction and engineering groups, seeking 4.47 billion reais ($1.55 billion) in damages in connection with a contract-fixing, bribery and political kickback scandal at state-run oil company Petrobras.
The five lawsuits, filed in federal court in Brasilia, are against Camargo Corrêa SA, the Brazil unit of Japan's Sanko Co ; Mendes Junior Engenharia SA ; OAS SA ; Galvão Engenharia SA; and Engevix Engenharia SA, the federal public prosecutor's office, known as MPF, said in a statement on Friday.
The lawsuits also name 13 of these companies' subsidiaries and 28 of their executives as defendants.
All the companies except Sanko are Brazilian. Camargo Corrêa and Sanko are being sued together, the rest of the construction and engineering groups are being sued individually.
The lawsuits seek to recover 319 million reais in lost state funds and 3.19 billion reais in damages and to impose a civil penalty of 959 million reais.
The cases stem from what criminal prosecutors say was a scheme where the construction companies and their executives conspired with Petrobras executives to overcharge for contracts. Much of the excess was then kicked back to Petrobras executives, politicians and political parties as bribes and illegal campaign contributions.
During criminal investigations, prosecutors showed that 16 construction and engineering companies had formed a cartel "allowing them to defraud the public auction process related to some of the projects tendered by Petrobras between 2004 and 2014, increasing the profits of the companies by hundreds of millions of reais," the MPF said.
The lawsuits also seek to ban the companies from receiving government business and prohibit them from obtaining tax benefits or loans from state-run or state-owned banks.
Engevix said it would take the necessary steps to deal with the situation as soon as its lawyers are notified of the case.
The other companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Mohammed Shami officially ruled out of IPL-8
New Delhi: The BCCI today officially confirmed that India's pace spearhead Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of the ongoing Indian Premier League due to a knee injury sustained during the ICC Cricket World Cup last month.
"The IPL Technical Committee has approved a replacement for Mohammed Shami in the Delhi Daredevils team. Shami has been ruled out of the ongoing Pepsi IPL season due to a knee injury. The Delhi Daredevils therefore have the option of picking a replacement player," an IPL media release stated.
Mohammed Shami
The Technical Committee of the IPL consists of Anurag Thakur (Hony. Secretary, BCCI), Sourav Dasgupta, Subir Ganguly, Sourav Ganguly and Ravi Shastri.
Shami, who had 18 wickets in the World Cup, missed a match at the mega event against UAE as the knee needed rest. He was being sparingly used at the net session by the Indian team management as they wanted him to bowl full tilt in match situations. He survived the World Cup on "prayer and medication" as a member of the Indian contingent present in Australia had said. However, there may be a necessity of surgery and an intense rehabilitation programme after that.
There is very little possibility of Shami returning for India's next away assignment in Bangladesh but he will certainly be training his eyes on India's full tour of Sri Lanka scheduled in July-August.

Charles Baillairgé
|Charles Baillairgé
September 29, 1826
Quebec City, Lower Canada
|May 10, 1906
(aged 79)
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
|architect, land surveyor, civil engineer, and author
Charles Baillairgé (29 September 1826 – 10 May 1906[1]) was an architect, land surveyor, civil engineer, and an author.
He was from a long line of sculptors, painters, and architects that began with his great grandfather, Jean Baillairgé. He was involved in designing many projects that were under the supervision of his brother, Frédéric, who held a senior position with public works. He completed the neoclassical stone building for the Academy of Music (Music Hall) on rue Saint-Louis in Quebec city in 1853.[2]
Charles Baillairgé and Thomas Fuller (architect) completed work in 1866 as the principal architects on the Parliament of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.[2]
Three of Baillairgé's works have been designated as National Historic Sites of Canada due to their remarkable architecture. The Bon-Pasteur Chapel (1868), a rectangular five-storey stone-faced chapel with a gable roof is part of the motherhouse of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in Quebec City, designed by Charles Baillairgé, was designated a National Historic Site in 1975 as an outstanding example of religious architecture in Quebec.[3][4] Baillairgé's Têtu House (1854), a three-storey, stone townhouse designed in the Neoclassical style by Charles Baillairgé in the same city was designated a National Historic Site in 1973 as one of the most remarkable examples of a Neoclassical townhouse built in Canada during the mid-19th century.[5] The Church of Sainte-Marie (1859) in Sainte-Marie was designated in 2006 due to the unique interiors designed by Baillairgé.[6]
Charles Philippe Ferdinand Baillairgé designed a Roman Catholic church and sacristy, 1849 in Beauport, Quebec. He designed a Roman Catholic church in St. Elzear, Quebec 1852. He designed a Roman Catholic church 1853-7 in L'Isle Verte, Quebec. He designed Eglise Ste. Marie, 1854 in Ste-Marie, Quebec. He designed a Roman Catholic church, 1854-56 in St. Romuald, Quebec. He designed Eglise St. Patrice, 1855-57 in Riviere-Du-Loup, Quebec, which burned in 1883, and was rebuilt. He designed a Roman Catholic church, 1861 in Ste. Marguerite, Quebec. With Joseph F. Peachy, Baillairgé designed the interiors for a Roman Catholic church, Ile d'Orleans, 1863 in St. Laurent, Quebec. He designed a private chapel (1886) at his summer residence; now relocated at La Guadeloupe, Frontenac Co.[7] In 1889, he restored the Breakneck Stairs in Quebec City, the city's oldest stairway.[8]

Art has no influence upon action. . . . The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.
Several weeks have passed, it seems, and Dorian visits Lord Henry. Dorian claims that he wants to reform himself and be virtuous. As evidence of his newfound resolve, Dorian describes a recent trip to the country during which he passed up an opportunity to seduce and defile an innkeeper's innocent daughter. Lord Henry dismisses Dorian's intentions to reform, and he turns the conversation to other subjects—Alan Campbell's recent suicide and the continued mystery of Basil Hallward's disappearance. Dorian asks if Lord Henry has ever considered that Basil might have been murdered. Lord Henry dismisses the idea, noting that Basil lacked enemies. Dorian then asks: "What would you say, Harry, if I told you that I had murdered Basil?" Lord Henry laughs and responds that murder is too vulgar for a man like Dorian.
The conversation drifts away from Basil. Lord Henry then asks Dorian, "'[W]hat does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose'—how does the quotation run?—'his own soul'?" Dorian starts nervously; Lord Henry explains that he heard a street preacher posing this question to a crowd. He mocks the man in his typical fashion, but Dorian cuts him short, insisting that the soul is very real. Lord Henry laughs at the suggestion, wondering aloud how Dorian has managed to remain so young after all these years. He wishes he knew Dorian's secret and praises Dorian's life as being "exquisite." He commends Dorian's mode of living and begs him not to spoil it by trying to be virtuous. Dorian somberly asks his friend not to loan anyone else the "yellow book," which has had such a corrupting effect upon his own character, but Lord Henry discounts his "moraliz[ing]" and remarks that "[a]rt has no influence upon action. . . . The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame." Before leaving, Lord Henry invites Dorian to visit him the next day.
That night, Dorian goes to the locked room to look at his portrait. He hopes his decision to amend his life will have changed the painting, and he considers that perhaps his decision not to ruin the innkeeper's daughter's reputation will be reflected in the painted face. But when Dorian looks at his portrait, he sees there is no change—except that "in the eyes there was a look of cunning, and in the mouth the curved wrinkle of the hypocrite." He realizes his pitiful attempt to be good was no more than hypocrisy, an attempt to minimize the seriousness of his crimes that falls far short of atonement. Furious, he seizes a knife—the same weapon with which he killed Basil—and drives it into the portrait in an attempt to destroy it.
From below, Dorian's servants hear a cry and a clatter. Breaking into the room, they see the portrait, unharmed, showing Dorian Gray as a beautiful young man. On the floor is the body of an old man, horribly wrinkled and disfigured, with a knife plunged into his heart. It is not until the servants examine the rings on the old man's hands that they identify him as Dorian Gray.
The contrast between Lord Henry and Dorian in Chapter Nineteen is instructive. When the novel begins, Lord Henry appears as a figure of worldly wisdom who seduces the naïve Dorian with fawning compliments and a celebration of selfishness and hedonism. Now that Dorian has actually lived the philosophy that Lord Henry so eloquently champions, however, he stands as proof of the limitations—indeed, even the misguided notions—of that philosophy. In the novel's final pages, Dorian is world-weary and borne down by the weight of his sins, while Lord Henry seems almost childishly naïve as he repeats his long-held but poorly informed beliefs. When Dorian all but confesses to Basil's murder, Lord Henry flippantly dismisses him, since his worldview holds that "[c]rime belongs exclusively to the lower orders." Only Lord Henry, who has never actually done any of the things he has inspired Dorian to do, could have the luxury of this thought. By keeping himself free from sin, even as he argues the virtues of sinning, Lord Henry lacks the terrible awareness of guilt and its debilitating effects. While the street preacher's rhetorical question about earthly gain at the cost of spiritual loss (from the New Testament, Mark 8:36) haunts Dorian, it holds no real meaning for Lord Henry.
At this stage, however, not even truthful self-awareness is enough to save Dorian. In his final moments, he attempts to repent the murder of Basil, the suicides of Sibyl Vane and Alan Campbell, and his countless other sins by refraining from seducing and ruining a naïve village girl. The discrepancy between the enormity of his crimes and this minor act of contrition is too great. Furthermore, he realizes that he does not want to confess his sins but rather have them simply go away. The portrait reflects this hypocrisy and drives him to his final, desperate act. He decides it is better to destroy the last evidence of his sin—the painting of his soul—than face up to his own depravity. The depravity he seeks to destroy is, in essence, himself; therefore, by killing it, he kills himself.

In the end of the book, when Dorian stabs his cursed picture: Does it mean his soul is pure again, for his dead body now endures his age and sins while the picture that represented his soul is young again, or it's just about his curse being broken?

First of all, there are only 3 important characters in this book. They probably either represent the id, the ego, and the superego (obviously Lord Henry being the id, Dorian Gray being the ego, and Basil being the superego) or represent Dorian as a normal person with Lord Henry as the devil and Basil the voice of reason. I can't believe you're not even going to discuss this possibility at all!
Second of all, one of the major themes of the novel is paradoxes. Obviously. I mean, that's what Lord Henry does, starting with his very first ... Read more→

Would Lord Henry, or maybe the subject of "influence", play the part of the devil in a sense since he did sell his soul? I am having difficulty determining who or what he sold his soul to?

Peter Kent (Letters, 10 November) may not have heard of "the Scottish cringe" – the shaming tendency to defer to a confident Englishman (or woman) – but his suggestion that my demand for more (indeed most) of the very top jobs in Scotland to be held by Scots, by birth and/or education, is tantamount to "national socialism" is absurd.
It is the norm in all countries – especially, perhaps, in those with an overweening larger neighbour with colonising tendencies – to appoint your own people whenever possible.
Sharing an island, a language and a monarchy is not enough. There are very real cultural, educational and philosophical differences between Scotland and England which will almost always mean a Scottish applicant will be more empathetic, all things being equal – and these are set to widen.
For every splendid English incomer we are lucky to have among us there is a legion of "carpetbaggers" who, not surprisingly, must pinch themselves at their good fortune ("cheap" houses, beautiful countryside, polite and welcoming natives and jobs, seemingly, on a plate), and who can blame them?
There are always exceptions to any rule, but when the "rule" is so often perceived to be that – wildly disproportionately –smooth confidence and an English accent are enough to land the local government, university or quango "plums" in Scotland, then common sense and self-respect are the losers.

Back in the late 70's and early 80's, we had roadside rests just northwest of Lancaster on State Route #33, and just north of town on State Route #37. At the time, homosexuals were using these for their meetings so much that local law-enforcement came to refer to each of these parks as "Lollipop Park". Their perverted activities were carried out in full view of visiting travelers and their families, including little children, who obviously didn't understand what they were seeing. The homosexuals and other perverts frequenting these parks didn't care if anyone was watching or not, and carried on in full view of these visitors as if such public displays of depravity were the norm, rather than the exception. Complaints were made to local law-enforcement, and eventually a series of arrests were made, complete with the publishing of names and dates, to the utter horror of the participants, who never expected to be arrested, much less publicly exposed for their activities. Some were married, some were businessmen, some may have had political connections….you get the idea.
What many may not recall from this period is the name of a man who made these parks a regular stop whenever he needed cash quickly. He made headlines as "The Campus Rapist", but his real name was Billy Milligan, and a book called "The Minds Of Billy Milligan" was later released revealing his story, in part. It was one of the first books of this kind exposing the reality of Multiple Personality Disorder, along with "Sybil" and "Shattered".
Billy would go into these parks and prey on the homosexuals, beating and/or robbing them for fast cash. At trial, it was revealed that one of his many personalities would assume control of him to commit such crimes. The rapes were committed by a lesbian personality. I believe there were 16 personalities in all, but there may have been more or less, as I'm recalling this from memory after 25-30 years. I'm unaware of further details of his life, nor of the many arrested at these parks for their activities.
The point is, you won't see any roadside rests along these routes, and haven't for years, as they became such a public nuisance that they were torn down years ago, as was one along State Route #22 west of Lancaster. One remains along State Route #33 south of Lancaster towards the intersection of State Route #180, and I'm unaware of any nefarious activities that may or may not be going on there.
The point of this is very simple: There were ample evidences of what would happen if transgendered individuals were allowed to go into whatever bathroom they wish, as such things have happened before. One must wonder, therefore, what happened to the law-enforcement officers who made the arrests at these, and other such places? Have they all retired, or otherwise been silenced by official policies? Why have we not heard from them, and why has this information not been shouted from the housetops for the rest of the world to see? Must we keep allowing the same dumb things over and over again with the same tragic results? What ever happened to protecting our most vulnerable citizens? By now, the entire nation has seen news coverage of various perverts once-again getting arrested for their latest activities in public bathrooms, and still everyone seems mesmerized by the lies of the transgenders and homosexuals, among other predators who are obviously not as "well-intentioned" as they say they are.
I propose a simple solution to this dilema that will eliminate risks for everyone concerned: Phase out multiple-occupent bathrooms, and replace them with individual, gender-nuetral bathrooms that allow only one occupent per room, and without the shortened walls that allow the next-door occupent to look over or under the stall walls. A larger room could be easily made to accomodate those with disabilities, and nobody will have to worry about some pervert trying to violate them or their privacy, much less their most vulnerable loved ones.
Americans have some simple decisions to make, and time is running out.
