The Board of Education is once again looking at the possibility of bringing its Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program in-house, a proposal that has some parents worried that the program could face a decline.
The program is currently run by the Capital Region Education Council (CREC). Several parents, all sharing stories of how their autistic children have thrived under CREC tutelage, questioned whether the transition would be successful.
"I think they currently have one of the best programs in the state," said Lisa Davis. "I hope that serious consideration is given to the CREC program."
Davis also questioned the cost savings, about $100,000 in the first year, according to early numbers provided by school officials. She believes the costs will actually increase after the initial savings are had.
Joseph Marino questioned how school officials would be able to the proposed program to one administered by CREC, as no one has established a baseline on CREC versus non-CREC programs, according to Marino.
"I have doubts if this will be a successful transition," Marino said. "I am not sure if this program can replace it."
Both Davis and Marino urged the Board of Education to look at other communities that had tried to bring ABA programs in-house, but failed.
Perri Murdica, the senior coordinator of special education for Southington schools, presented the proposal to the school board at last week's meeting. Murdica said the program would be phased in and would use the existing CREC program as a model. "It's the two groups working together," she said.
Under the proposal, students currently in the program will keep their CREC advisors, but new students entering the program, as other students move up in grade levels, would instead have advisors from within the district.
Several Board of Education members noted similar proposals to bring the program in-house had come before the board over the years, but those typically called for a town takeover, right from the beginning. Board of Education Chairman Brian Goralski said he was hesitant with these types of proposals in the past, but noted that he backed the current proposal due to the phasing in element.
"We want ownership," Goralski said. "I'm comfortable with the plan because of the phasing in."
The school board did not make a decision on the proposal at last week's meeting. Instead they have asked for more information and will take up the issue again at one of its two meetings this month.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is embroiled in a battle of politics vs. biology regarding its management strategy for white-tailed deer.
"What we're doing (with deer management) isn't working," state Sen. Rich Alloway, who chairs the Senate Game & Fisheries Committee, told the Lancaster Journal. "I know that we have to be concerned about the forest and the habitat, but I feel the pendulum has swung so far out of balance in reducing the deer herd."
PGC officials say they're going about their management strategy for different parts of the state based on biological data.
Conflicts like this certainly aren't unusual. Some states have advisory boards and the wildlife agency sets regulations. In others, the legislature handles things after input (or, sometimes not), from agency officials. It can make for some tenuous dancing with folks who know little to nothing about wildlife management trying to buck or ride herd on wildlife agency biologists.
Check out the full story here in the Lancaster Journal.

Ackley backer Waller isn't recusing herself from ethics board for Buscetto hearing
New London - The former mayor of New London, who has been on the Board of Ethics for more than 10 years, said Thursday she will participate in proceedings involving a dispute between a city councilor and the police chief, despite being accused of having a conflict of interest.
Eunice Waller, who has publicly supported Police Chief Margaret Ackley, said Wednesday she will not recuse herself from the Nov. 16 ethics board hearing. The board is set to hear testimony on Ackely's charge that City Councilor Michael Buscetto III violated the city's Code of Ethics when he participated in closed-door City Council meetings involving complaints the chief made against him.
"Because I have an opinion doesn't mean I can't hear the case,'' Waller said Thursday. "I didn't do anything wrong. ... I had a right to express myself.''
Waller made comments in support of Ackley at a City Council meeting in September, before Ackley had filed her complaint with the ethics board.
Waller added that she will check with the state Board of Ethics. She initially said she could step down if asked to do so, when a member of the public raised the conflict issue in September.
Buscetto, who is running as a write-in candidate for mayor, requested Wednesday that four members of the ethics board - Chairman K. Robert Lewis, Dennis Downing, Brian Giesing and Waller - step down from the proceedings because of conflicts of interest.
Giesing, who is running for City Council, agreed to recuse himself, because if he is elected on Tuesday, he would not be able to continue on the board.
Lewis and Downing declined.
If all four members had recused themselves, there would have been no quorum Wednesday night and the proceedings could not have gone forward.
In a separate inquiry, the City Council has hired a retired Superior Court judge to investigate allegations that Buscetto interfered with police department business. Ackley appeared before the council this past summer and complained about Buscetto's behavior and threatened a lawsuit.
Ackley filed the ethics complaint after that meeting, alleging that Buscetto should not have participated in the discussion.
The ethics board hearing is set to begin at 5 p.m. Nov. 16. A second hearing date has been set for 5 p.m. Nov. 30.

Posted on 06/21/2013 1:56:49 AM PDT by markomalley
Would-be mayor Anthony Weiner believes he has found a way for New York City to stand up to rising health care costs: the government, if he gets to helm it.
The former Congressman revealed Thursday he wants New York City to act as a single-payer laboratory, funding employees medical expenses directly instead of paying the employees through insurance companies.
As such, Weiner wants city workers to pay 10% of their own salaries for health careand if they are smokers, a whopping 25%.
He claimed that the savings from this model's first three years could amount to $1 billion, saying, I refuse to accept that these are non-controllable costs.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
O yeah! Another 10% (or 25%) tax, excuse me, fee to NYC. This is going to go well.
What a weener....
OK ... so those who already have been forced into Obamacare will get the pleasure of paying into Weinercare as well.
How you control costs in government healthcare is easy.
The government decides how much to put in healthcare, and that's all that's available.
The fact that people will die on waiting lists is secondary.
Actually, having public employees pay a portion of their healthcare is a good start.
NYC is unionized. Did "Flash" Weiner check with AFSCME on this?
What makes you think they don't?
It's like Leftists wake up each morning and say how can come up with a more dumbass idea then my fellow Leftists? Do they love to compete for dumbass of the day awards?
This is NYC. Ninety percent of NYC employees pay zero on their healthcare:
How much of their salaries should they pay if they are perverts, and take pictures of their naughty parts and send them to unsuspecting cell phone users?
I'm sure NYC unions will be more than happy to tell their members that their health care costs are going from 0% to 25%. Obviously, this pie-in-the-sky scheme will never happen.
"and if they are smokers, a whopping 25%."
What about those who engage in risky sexual practices and contract STS's, AIDS/HIV and HepC? -—ALL lifestyle choices along with smoking.
You hit it partially. Why pick on smokers?
Shouldn't homosexuals pay more?
One of the ways of lying about this issue is the change of language. Single payer is monopoly. Economists have studied monopolies and they are NEVER mysterious. You pay more and get less. And they are enforced by Government.
Anyone who believes a monopoly will result in savings, has to be an insider to the monopoly...they are the only ones who save.
What an idiot. That isn't "single-payer," it's called "self-insuring." A lot of companies do that, and it isn't a laboratory for anything.
This is the problem with politicians who have never lived and worked in the real world. He proposes establishing health care financing for a single employer (New York City) using a means available to all employers (and used by many) right now, and thinks it is a "laboratory" for destroying the very system he'll still be part of.
I truly cannot even find the words to describe how ignorant he is.
Actually, I will correct myself here - BigGovernment's summary is a bit misleading. Following the links back to the Daily News article does not give a much clearer summary, but it does sound like he actually is proposing a single payer system within the city of New York, in addition to the City employee coverage changes mentioned above. The summary conflates these two different aspects of his plan.
Still idiotic, but for many more complicated reasons...
If he were to be honest it would 50% forale homosexuals.
But I thought there were no more pre-existing conditions.
I'm a smoker. I often wondered how the rumored "smokers tax" would be enforced. As for me, if anyone asks, I just quit! What are they gonna do? Blood test for nicotine?(probably)

If you're over age 50 and haven't had a colon cancer check, you're not alone. A whopping 23 million Americans have never had a proper test for this killer, a sobering new report reveals.
If you're over age 50 and haven't had a colon cancer check, you're not alone. A whopping 23 million Americans have never had a proper test for this killer, a sobering new report reveals. This is one club you don't want to be a member of. Here's how to get out — and save your life.
Colorectal cancer claims 50,000 lives annually. But 60 percent of these deaths could be prevented if tiny growths on the lining of the intestines, called polyps, were spotted and removed during a colonoscopy. Most polyps are either non- or precancerous or in early stages of gastrointestinal cancer.
Colonoscopy, the gold-standard gut-check, is recommended when you hit age 50 (younger if this cancer runs in your family) and every 10 years after that if no problems are seen. But a third of you have never had any kind of colon cancer screening. And we sympathize; they're intrusive and scary (both of us had polyps removed at age 50 during a simple colonoscopy) — but battling advanced colon cancer is a whole lot more frightening. So, here's how to get past common fears that may be keeping you from getting a life-saving colon check.
Fear No. 1: It'll hurt.
Fact: Most, if not all, colonoscopies are done under mild sedation using the drugs fentanyl and/or midazolam. You'll feel nothing as you go into in a light sleep. Your privacy, modesty and dignity get plenty of respect, too.
Fear No. 2: Bowel prep is pain in the...
Fact: Your doc needs to see every inch of your colon, without an obstructed view. At best, incomplete prep boosts your odds for a do-do-over; at worst, it ups the risk for undetected polyps and missed cancers. Sure, the prep may keep you home for a while, but try to schedule your colonoscopy for a Monday morning; then you can spend Sunday around the house.
Fear No. 3: I'm scared they'll find something.
Fact: Colon polyps are super-common — 30 percent to 50 percent of adults have at least one; less than 10 percent are precancerous. If you've got a polyp, finding it and having it removed during your colonoscopy is the best thing that can happen to you.
Fear No. 4: Colon cancer runs in my family. I'm afraid I'll find out I have it, too.
Fact: If a close relative (mom, dad, sister, brother or child) had colon cancer, that boosts your risk by 35 percent to 70 percent. Your doc should advise you to start having colon checks at age 40. If any close relative were diagnosed before age 44, then you should begin getting colonoscopies five years before the age he or she was diagnosed. Also, ask about having those earlier checks if more distant relatives (aunt, uncle, cousin or grandparent) were affected. One new report says waiting until age 50 could miss 10 percent of early cancers in this population. If you have colon cancer, you want to know now, not later when it's harder to successfully treat.
Fear No. 5: I can't afford it.
Fact: About one in four people who skip colon checks have no insurance. But thanks to changes in federal health laws, more insurance policies will cover the costs (with no co-pay, thanks to the Affordable Care Act) in 2014. In addition, the federal Colorectal Cancer Control Program could help pay for yours. Learn more at www.cdc.gov/cancer/crccp.
If you can't handle the procedure, you do have options even if they aren't the gold standard. Your best option is a high-tech, at-home test. The latest at-home colon-cancer check, the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), sleuths for blood hidden in stool -- a warning sign for polyps. Just take a sample from two bowel movements and get 'em to your doc or lab pronto. There is no prep, it's cheap (about $22 per test) and nearly as accurate as a colonoscopy -- but you need to do it every year. If blood is found, then you'll need a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy (a scan of the large intestine).

How do you spell relief? S-U-G-A-R Bar Cookies
I am convinced that the headache that is still holding my head hostage is fueled by hormones. I say that because I had a burning desire to eat sugar-- not any kind of sugar, mind you. It had to be white cake with frosting. My only explanation for this very specific craving comes from childhood memories-- when I was a little girl, counting down the days until my birthday. I knew that my mother would splurge and buy the birthday cake of my own choosing. I always asked for white cake with white frosting and lots and LOTS of gooey, sugar coma inducing roses.
In recent year, I've pretty much OD'd on eating grocery store bakery white cake with over-the-top frosting-- and I've developed a fondness for my local bakery "Layers". I've abandoned the not-even-on-the-food-pyramid COSTCO style gooey cakes in lieu of French Buttercream, made with quality butter...100% butter. Better yet, my new birthday cake request is currently a Princess Cake with sponge cake, rasberry filling, whipped cream and almond fondant-- please and thank you.
But, yesterday, I wanted my childhood white cake with frosting.
However, I wasn't feeling up to making a white cake from scratch (I've stopped buying cake mixes years ago)-- and then I remembered a few variations of Sugar Cookie Bars I've seen on various food blogs. I settled on the one from Ice Cream Before Dinner.
I confess, that I usually do not keep Crisco in my pantry. Call me an ingredient snob, but I try to use only real butter, olive oil and canola oil in all of my recipes. I was so ready to make my own buttercream frosting, but I decided to try a recipe I saw that uses vegetable shortening.
Forgive me, "Foodie Purists", but I was hormonally driven to put the stick of softened butter and (with trembling hands) I opened up the small can of Crisco I had purchases for a pie crust recipe I've been wanting to make.
NOTE: Since I posted this frosting, I now use 1/2 butter and 1/2 vegetable shortening.
The cookie dough came together in a matter of minutes, thanks to my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer Workhorse.
Once the baked cookie had cooled, I made the frosting. It made a LOT!
I have a Williams & Sonoma Italian off-set spatula that was given to me as a gift (and it cost a fortune), so I got a little carried away in frosting these-- as in I think I went a little crazy with the frosting.
And I still had leftover frosting-- that I will probably use to make homemade Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes... on another day. According to the recipe, the frosting stores for 8-12 weeks-- kinda scary, huh? I read the Crisco label, by the way. They swear that vegetable shortening has less saturated fat than butter. Truth be told, if I am going to eat a dessert, I am going full speed ahead. Forget trying to make baked goods less fattening. That's what exercise was invented for, right?
I will say this-- I took one bite and my craving had been totally satisfied. The frosting was sweet-- as in very, very sweet. It reminded me exactly of my childhood birthday cakes. Is that what the term "comfort food" really means?
The rest of the cookies are the sole property of my 6'3, 20 year old son, who eats continuously and does not gain weight. As for me, I need to stay away from these. They are sinfully good, and would give any kid a case of hyper sugar syndrome.
The cookie was a little too thick, in my opinion-- but I can only blame myself. Next time, I think I'd use a larger pan than a 9X13 and I'd press the dough too be much thinner. As for the frosting-- I'll stick with my butter cream recipe. This particular vanilla frosting is better destined for cupcakes-- white cupcakes. The next time that my hormones scream for white cake, that's what I'll do.
Still, if you have kids and you want to make a special treat-- brace yourself for the sugar shock. These are fast and easy to make.

So sorry you still aren't feeling better! I'm sure this helped - what a wonderful throwback to birthday parties.
- March 1, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Oh My Goodness you didn't really make those...ROFL They look sooo yuumy and I know that your dear son will have eaten them all by tomorrow!!! I hope you are feeling better at least I hope the headache part is gone...those cookies look sinful!

These may give you a toothache though! They look so sweet and good!

That last photo is fabulous! I've been a purist when it comes to using shortening too. But I've recently relented, if I have to use shortening, and I use an ORGANIC trans-fat free, non-GMO shortening (I know Spectrum makes one). I combine organic shortening with butter in my pie crusts now and it works well, with the flakiness & the butter flavor.

Lady, thanks for the tip on using shortening. I'll see if Whole Foods has that product.

These were good weren't they? MM yum. I usually only bake with butter too, but I had so much frosting left over from a Wilton cake class I'm taking at Michael's Craft store that I decided to throw it on top. It does taste good, so my tongue tries to tell my brain to stop thinking about how much Crisco is in it, haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is a story so of course, none of it is real. Again: NONE OF THIS IS REAL!
Jim Carrey has fans all over the world, right? He acts, he sings, he produces. But what if I told you he wasn't real? You're probably thinking, "Nah, he's real. He's got to be!" But what if I told you scientists thought up a crazy idea of making a robot famous to see how other people react? The world as you know it would crumble, right? You've noticed the things he can do with his arms and face, right? What if I told you he was programed to do all of that stuff? You wouldn't believe me, I know because that's how I acted when I found out.
Should I post more?

Applications for unemployment insurance payments decreased by 4,000 to 323,000 in the week ended May 4, the least since January 2008. The Bank of Korea cut its interest rates today, lowering the benchmark seven-day repurchase rate to 2.5% from 2.75%. It seems as though central banks are taking a much larger role in the valuation of publicly traded assets than ever before.
Equities: The JUN13 E-mini S&P 500 futures are down slightly at -.14%, after hitting another record high in overnight trading at 1631. The market has hit record highs for five straight days, and today is relaxing a little bit from its new high making activity. We believe that this market is still very susceptible for another bullish run higher, but it may take a few days to occur. We think the market is due for one more buying burst and then perhaps will begin to trade in a range. The market should be waiting for more data points to confirm or reject these relatively lofty levels.
Bonds: The U.S. bond futures are up slightly on the day. This goes along with the overall quiet tone of the US financial markets today, as we wait for more important data to give guidance to investors as to the appropriate actions to take in the market. Overall, we believe the bonds are indeed susceptible to a downturn, most especially if the unemployment percentage keeps ticking lower. The next key data for the bond market is the US inflation data.
Currencies: After a strong Aussie jobs report, the Aussie dollar had a very strong rally, which was very short-lived. The Aussie reached 102.50, but then immediately was sold right back down below 1.02, and is now trading at 1.66. The Aussie has been getting its share of negative press recently, with rumors of George Soros going short and now Stanley Druckenmiller saying he believes the Aussie will come down hard. We would not be surprised to see the Aussie approach the 1.00 parity level.
Commodities: Gold continues to stay below our key $1,475 level, trading down $6 to $1,468 this morning. Natural gas is rebound from a small dip below $3.90, and has actually hit the $4 again today, after selling off $.50 in just the past week. We focus more on crude oil today. Crude supply data continues to show large supplies, yet this market has still held up and even rallied over the past week or two. Today, crude is down almost $1 to $95.75. We believe this is mainly fear premium regarding the Syria situation. Technically, it looks as though oil is at the top of its downward channel, and could head lower to at least $92 from here.

Largest Nev. fires still growing near Vegas, Reno
LAS VEGAS -- Two large Nevada wildfires advanced Tuesday through mountain areas near Las Vegas and southwest of Reno, while firefighters added resources and began looking to the weather to help quell flames.
Fifty firefighters were added to the effort at the Carpenter 1 Fire on Mount Charleston northwest of Las Vegas, bringing to more than 800 the number of personnel battling the blaze identified as the top priority in the West, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Jay Nichols said.
"We've got a fire running from 11,000 feet to about 5,000 feet," Nichols said of the elevation of the blaze sparked by lightning July 1 and still just 15 percent contained eight days later.
It's burning in pinion, juniper and bristlecone pine forest in rugged territory covering more than 30 square miles and continues to threaten about 400 homes. More than 500 residents and another 98 teenagers at a youth correctional camp have been evacuated since the weekend.
"It's dry," Nichols said. "We've got torching trees and spotting fire. We're being extremely careful and monitoring the safety of firefighters and the public."
In northern Nevada, the Bison fire grew Monday to 40 square miles in the Pine Nut Mountains near Gardnerville and Carson City. Fire spokeswoman Lisa Ross said one of the 720 firefighters on the lines suffered a knee injury. Containment was reported at 25 percent.
Fires were also burning across the West in California, where 100 mountain cabins were destroyed in San Diego County, and also in Alaska, Idaho and Arizona, where a memorial service is being held Tuesday for 19 firefighters killed in a wildfire north of Phoenix.
In Nevada, 19 elite Hotshot crews and 44 engine companies were battling the Carpenter 1 Fire some 25 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nichols said.
Smoke from the fire created a towering white cloud that stretched northeast, visible from downtown. The Clark County Department of Air Quality issued a health advisory that officials said would remain in effect through Sunday.
No injuries were reported in the southern Nevada fire that started July 1 on the west side of Mount Charleston near Pahrump and quickly spread east into rugged terrain reachable only on foot. Officials said Monday that some $2.4 million had already been spent fighting the fire.
Mount Charleston is a popular weekend getaway, where summer temperatures can be 15 to 20 degrees cooler than in Las Vegas, which has sizzled in the triple digits for more than 10 days.
More than 400 homes in Trout, Kyle, Lee, Harris Springs and Lovell canyons were evacuated during the weekend, along with a Clark County-run youth correctional camp that houses 98 teenagers at a mountain elevation of almost 8,500 feet above sea level. State highways 156 and 157 were closed into the canyons, and evacuation shelters were set up at schools in Las Vegas and Pahrump.
Crews were also working to protect about 100 non-residential structures including barns, sheds and corrals, Nichols said.
Daytime high temperatures on the mountain were expected to decrease over the next few days after peaking at 90 degrees on Saturday, but firefighters were still hampered by gusty winds and humidity levels in the single digits.
The Bison Fire in northern Nevada, which straddles the Douglas and Lyon county lines, nearly doubled in size Monday from a day earlier as it burned through tinder-dry brush, dead trees and pinion-juniper forests. By afternoon the fire was estimated at more than 27 square miles.
The mountain range also stretches into Carson City. Late in the day, fire officials closed popular back-country roads leading from the state capital into the mountains because of the fire's path.
No homes have been lost since the blaze broke out July 4, but officials said several old structures burned in the Slater Mine area.
More than 700 firefighters battled gusty winds, low humidity and temperatures in the 90s, Ross said.

Travel to Ecuador and encounter the extraordinary flora and fauna of the Galapagos' central islands.
When it comes to encountering wildlife up close and personal, a voyage to the Galapagos Islands really is an adventure unlike any other. Wherever you look, opportunities for witnessing nature in its most unaffected state abound. Head underwater off Isla Santa Cruz, Isla Bartolome or Isla Isabela and you'll be snorkelling with sea lions, white-tipped reef sharks, sea turtles and penguins. Look to the skies in North Seymour or Cerro Dragon and you'll spy frigatebirds, boobies, pelicans and more swooping and soaring. Head out for a wander across the volcanic landscapes of Punta Espinosa and you'll likely happen upon land iguanas and flightless cormorants. Prepare to have your expectations of this unique destination more than exceeded.
If there's one ultimate Galapagos adventure, this is it. Combining off-the-beaten-track gems with iconic sights like the Pinnacle Rock, this trip is a microcosm of the Galapagos
This unique, stand-alone sailing adventure shares its itinerary with no other Intrepid trip. Enjoy minimal contact with other travellers and boats
Explore the remote west coast of Isabela on a small Panga boat, and venture to the far-west Fernandino, home of the highest density of marine iguanas
Beach-lovers will be in heaven. The turtle-dotted Las Bachas is about as idyllic as they come, and the richly coloured sands of Espumilla on your feet feel like nothing else
Volcanically active, steeped in myth and flanked by gorgeous cliffs, the old pirate haunt of Buccaneer Cove has something for everyone, from birdwatchers to geology enthusiasts to history buffs
Las Tintoreras is like one big wildlife party. Snorkel among the iguanas and turtles and effortlessly spot sea lions, penguins and frigate birds
Although we don't ask travellers to complete a Physical Participation Form for this trip, we do ask that you read through the trip notes carefully to ensure that this trip is right for you. You'll need to feel comfortable with the included activities and with moving about the boat. The cabins and communal areas of the boat are spread over four decks, and the steps between the decks are steep.
You will be entering and exiting a Zodiac boat (panga) during wet and dry landings and when returning from snorkelling. Although the waters we sail are usually calm, there are times when the sea can get rough and choppy. Steady sea legs (and a sturdy stomach) are needed when walking around the boat during bad weather. Rain or shine, your trusty crew will always be on hand to assist you.
A typical yacht/boat for sixteen travellers is equipped with eight cabins each with ensuites. They are designed to maximise living area space, so sleeping quarters can be a bit cramped. That being said, the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic Galapagos trip more than makes up for any discomfort.
While at sea and when exploring the islands, you may be exposed to the sun for large parts of the day. It's important to use sun protection and drink plenty of water.
Please note that while there is an itinerary in place, some changes may occur due to the weather or because of direction from the local authorities. This can happen with little notice so please be prepared for potential modifications to the route or activities. A sense of humour and flexibility will ensure you have a fun, relaxing trip through this beautiful part of the world no matter what happens.
All of our Galapagos tours begin and end in Quito which is located approximately 2850 metres above sea level so you may experience some altitude sickness.
On this itinerary, you'll be travelling aboard the Daphne
Trip search is unavailable.
There are currently no scheduled departures on our Ultimate Galapagos - Central Islands (Daphne) trip. If you are interested in other trips in the region visit one of the links below.
Before checking in for the flight from Quito to the Galapagos, there is a US$20 transit fee that needs to be paid. On arrival in the islands you must pay the US$100 national park fee to enter Galapagos National Park. If your voyage visits Isabela Island, there is also a US$10 fee to be paid on arrival at the island.
When booking, please make sure that your name is spelt correctly, and that you book using the name in your passport (particularly if you are recently married). If you are issued a new passport with a different number between the time that you book and the time you travel, please take both the old and new passports with you.
Should you have a special diet requirement (for example vegetarian, celiac, vegan, severe food allergies) it's essential that you inform us or your agent of the specific details at least 10 days prior to departure, in order to make sure the chef on board the boat or on the island can request the necessary food supplies.
The minimum age on this trip is 15. Please note that triple cabins are not available. If travelling with a child, the child will need to share with one of the adults, and the other adult will share with another adult passenger, or pay a single supplement.
Please note that from June to August the water is rougher than usual. Consequently travel times will be longer than usual. If you suffer from seasickness you may want to reconsider travelling during this period.
Electricity in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands is 110 - 120V and requires US plugs so you may need to take an adapter.
Wi-Fi is not available on the boat at all whilst in the Galapagos Islands. There is limited access on the bigger islands of Santa Cruz, San Cristobal and Isabela and there may also be internet cafes for you to use if there is time.
Like Wi-Fi, mobile phone coverage is pretty non-existent whilst travelling around the islands. Again, you may find that you have limited service when you are closer to the bigger islands.
There is a satellite phone on board, for the use of shipboard staff, in case of emergency.
We do not offer diving as a part of our Galapagos program and due to our internal safety policy our leaders are specifically prohibited from recommending or assisting with booking this activity.
Our Ultimate Galapagos - Central Islands (Daphne) trips score an average of 4.77 out of 5 based on 61 reviews in the last year.
Intrepid's Galápagos adventure was all it promised to be. Magical moments meeting the unique birds, animals, sea creatures and land forms that make th islands unique. Well organised, excellent facilities, depth of knowledge, thoughtful and engaging staff, wonderful support.
Review submitted 17 Sep 2018
A boat is the best way to visit the Galapagos...the boat is your transport, your hotel and your restaurant and the crew soon become your friends and guides.

Save the date! The Annual Taste of Weehawken returns to the Food Court at Lincoln Harbor on Tuesday April 29. This marks the 14th year for the popular culinary event, which helps raise important funding for the many programs and activities at the Weehawken Free Public Library.
Hundreds of food enthusiasts and library supporters gather at the Taste to savor an evening of food, fun and fundraising.
"The Taste is certainly one of the most anticipated events in the area," said Leona Nersesian, president, Library Board of Trustees. There's something for everyone: abundant sips, samples and signature dishes, unique fare from high profile and emerging local restaurants, fine wines and mouthwatering desserts.
"We are of course always grateful to many fine restaurants and business owners who come together over the years at the Taste," said Nersesian. "They have not only helped make our Weehawken Free Public Library and Media Center among the best in the state, but have also helped us continue to continue our role as a gathering place for our community."
If you are a restaurateur or other food business owner and would like to participate, call the Library at (201) 863-7823.
Tickets to the Taste will be $60 for the Preview Hour (6:30 to 9:30 p.m.) and $35 for General Admission (7:30 to 9:30 p.m.) and will be available for purchase the end of March.

Factory production in the U.S. rose more than forecast in October, indicating the partial government shutdown did little to halt the pickup in manufacturing at the start of the fourth quarter.
The 0.3% advance at factories followed a 0.1% gain the prior month and exceeded the 0.2% median projection in a Bloomberg survey, figures from the Federal Reserve showed today in Washington. Total industrial production fell 0.1% as output at mines and utilities declined.
The report indicates businesses were increasing orders and output even in the face of the 16-day federal government closing in October. The housing rebound and demand for vehicles, the mainstays of manufacturing, will help to sustain economic growth that's forecast to cool in the wake of last month's fiscal gridlock.
"We've seen decent growth in manufacturing," said Brian Jones, senior U.S. economist at Societe Generale in New York, who correctly projected the drop in total production. "Demand is holding up. The economy in general is doing better."
The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a 0.2% rise in total industrial production. September output was revised up to a 0.7% gain from a previously reported 0.6% advance. Estimates of the 84 economists surveyed by Bloomberg ranged from a drop of 0.2% to an increase of 0.5%.
Stock Futures
Stocks rose as investors assessed the data amid speculation the Federal Reserve will maintain stimulus. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index climbed 0.2% to 1,793.41 at 10 a.m. in New York.
Another report today showed a gauge of manufacturing the New York region unexpectedly declined this month. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's general economic index fell to minus 2.2 in November from 1.5 the prior month. Readings less than zero signal contraction in New York, New Jersey and southern Connecticut.
The gain in manufacturing, which accounts for about 75% of total industrial production and 12% of the economy, reflected increased output of furniture, metals and computers and electronics.
Today's Fed report also showed that capacity utilization, which measures the amount of a plant that is in use, fell to 78.1% from 78.3% the prior month.

As a journalist who spends most of his time writing about sports and sports games, I find myself sharing many stories that other people won't have heard before but certainly relate to. The last-minute goal; the brilliant comeback; the record-breaking transfer, and the young star who shone - all of these tales may have similar themes, but the key components are always different. There's been much debate in recent times over the need for modern games to push the boundaries of narrative and offer greater agency - an ability to dictate the outcome. The thing is, we've had choice all along, we just haven't been looking in the right places.
Narrative-driven video games must constantly battle with two concepts that leave players feeling equally frustrated and confused: agency and ludonarrative dissonance. We crave the freedom to do as we please, but game-makers must limit our choice in order to tell a cohesive story. We want that seamlessly-woven story, but we also want to shoot, punch, and fight countless enemies on the way, creating disingenuous lead characters.
Lara Croft is horrified at killing a man for the first time in Tomb Raider, but soon goes on a killing spree without the merest hint of remorse. It's an oxymoron that will exist as long as developers and consumers alike continue to assume we want a Hollywood story, or can't affix our attention to the game without a shoot-out every 10 minutes.
Of course, there have been attempts to move the medium forward, particularly in 2013. Both Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us offered wonderful narratives that concluded in ways that kept the gamer active in the story, but inevitably did keep us under control with no choice but to follow the narrow path toward a single conclusion. To discover a story not yet written; to play a game where anything can happen; play 90 minutes of FIFA or four quarters in the NBA.
Sports games offer the same level of unpredictability as their real world counterparts. The reason why sports grip every nation is because of the endless number of heart-in-mouth moments, which have, somehow, managed to be wonderfully replicated in games for so many years.
While EA often get a lot of flack as a business, the evolution of FIFA in recent years has been remarkable, with Ultimate Team sitting front and centre as the true adaptation of football. Building a team from scratch by bargain hunting in the transfer market, tinkering with the squad until they sing to the tune of perfect chemistry, working through the leagues and cups to achieve glory and earn more funds to spend on new signings, or fall foul of modern football, using the money of a wealthy owner to buy new players with additional funds. The consequence of an open market.
My team - the Prem Gems - were in the lowly eighth tier of Ultimate Team seasons. We lacked the firepower to take advantage of the number of chances created, constantly punished for missed opportunities. Then, a friend recommended Alvaro Negredo. "Manchester City's star striker? Isn't he expensive?" He's not, in fact - he's a bargain. After making the transfer, I moved him immediately into the starting line-up for a must-win match to take the title. A 6-2 victory later, with all goals scored by my new acquisition, and we were the champions.
Everyone who has ever played a sports game will have a story. One moment that has stuck with them no matter how many years have trickled by. These events will live longer in our memories than any narrative-driven game that we've seen, and the reason is because we are the storytellers. We didn't follow the lines of somebody else's script; the quill lay in our hands as we desperately attempt to put balls, pucks and fists in nets, end zones and faces.
Aside from sports games, there is another title that has bridged the gap, and offered us a 'game' in the truest sense of the word. It was arguably the greatest game of the last console generation, possibly ever: Dark Souls. Incredible because it presents us all with a world and no direction, simply the tools to (barely) survive.
On the eve of the release of its sequel, Dark Souls II, Peter Serafinowicz said in an interview: "Dark Souls is a game, and I think games have forgotten to be games... Miyazaki-san said 'games should stop being more like films, and films should stop being more like games, and they should both be more like themselves'".
In order for the genre to evolve, it must move away from the tropes of movie narrative, which have served us well, until now. Games must write their own rule book if we are to truly move forward as a medium and offer experiences that cannot be found anywhere else. I don't want to play movies. I want to play games. This is why those that deal with sports and the likes of Dark Souls are some of the best experiences available: they tell a different story every time I pick up a pad.
The Last of Us was never the 'Citizen Kane' moment - we're not there yet. If writers are looking for inspiration in their narratives, maybe they should look in a different direction than to the lights of Hollywood, and towards the depths of Anor Londo, or the green of Old Trafford...

Community health workers bridge culture gapBy TAMMY BOUCHER
Boucher Public Relations
August 24. 2014 1:41AM
Hayat Wali recently cut the umbilical cord of a newborn, but it was not her own child.
Wali, a community health worker (CHW) with Manchester Community Health Center (MCHC), had this magical experience with the baby of a family she works with through a pilot project to help refugees and immigrants from two different cohorts - Spanish and Arabic speaking - manage their health care.
In the case of Wali, her client, Ashwak A Al Nomany, an Iraqi refugee, doesn't even look at her as someone doing a job. "I never feel like she's a worker. We think of her like one of our family members. We love her," said Al Nomany, explaining her decision to have the CHW with her during her labor and delivery.
Maria Arce, who left the Republica Oriental del Uruguay 11 years ago to come to the United States, feels the same way about her CHW, Jazmin Miranda of MCHC. "For me, Jazmin is a little angel fallen from the sky," she said.
The relationships the MCHC patients have with their CHWs is not surprising, given that these public health professionals are working hard to promote full and equal access to necessary health and social services by applying their own unique understanding of the experiences, language and culture of the populations they are serving. Wali is also an Iraqi refugee and Miranda is from Costa Rica.
Neither Al Nomany or Arce speak English. Al Nomany speaks Arabic while Arce speaks Spanish. Both have significant health concerns, and both have experienced barriers to receiving care, in large part because of the challenges they face due to their inability to speak English.
Grant-funded pilot project
Manchester Community Health Center is looking to break down the barriers. The Community Health Worker initiative is just one of the programs under the broader umbrella of the Center of Excellence for Culturally Effective Care being created by MCHC in response to the growing and spreading diversity in Manchester and throughout the state.
MCHC has been blazing a trail in serving patients from underserved, diverse and underinsured communities in the Greater Manchester service area and is undertaking this project, funded through a grant, to further develop its ability to provide culturally effective care and target health disparities. MCHC also hopes to model best practices to be shared with other health and human service providers to ensure quality health care for all.
CHWs work directly with patients in their own homes in a supportive and empowering fashion, so that the patients improve their health literacy, increase their capacity to navigate the health system, learn self-management, and become engaged and informed patients who work well with their health care providers, manage their chronic illness, and ultimately improve their health outcomes.
Duties include maintaining regular ongoing contact with patients including biweekly telephone contacts, in-person meetings every month, accompanying patients to appointments as needed, facilitating referrals, conducting home visits, monitoring health status, acting as a patient advocate and educating patients in self-management.
According to Health Equity Coordinator Selma Tarahija who directs this program, two cohorts of 75 people each have been selected for the pilot project, one for those speaking Spanish and the other for those speaking Arabic.
The CHWs are specifically targeting diabetes, hypertension, childhood obesity and individuals with one of these conditions and a co-occurring mental health issue, particularly depression. They are working to establish short- and long-term goals with the clients, attacking challenges on multiple fronts, recognizing the cultural barriers that may be inhibiting success.
"As has been said and is so true, having health insurance and access to care doesn't mean healthy," said Tarahija. "Listening and understanding are two different things, and what we are finding is that many of our patients who come from other countries and don't speak English are overwhelmed and struggling to comply with what the doctors are telling them to do."
Helping Arce manage her diabetes
Such has been the case with Arce, whose home visits by Miranda have literally been a lifesaver. Said Arce, "I was very angry about the diabetes. I had no real understanding about it before. Now I do, and I am starting to feel better because of the help."
"I help to educate patients and, little by little, they trust me more and more," said Miranda. She has worked to help Arce take her medication as directed and learn to call ahead when her medicine is starting to run out. She has also taught her about the importance of eating well and exercising.
And while she started working with Arce to assist with her diabetes, she quickly came to see that meant more than just the typical methods of care. She is now helping her work through some of the stress in her life, and seeking dental care for a serious tooth problem that has been ongoing, and, as a result, has derailed their diabetes control efforts.
"You're there for one thing, but you don't know what you are going to find," said Miranda.
Improving Al Nomany's blood pressure, diet
What Wali found when she started working with Al Nomany on her high blood pressure was that she didn't understand how diet was affecting her health. In her country of Iraq, the culture revolved around large meals that often included bread and foods high in calories but low in nutrition.
And while Al Nomany and her family, which includes her husband and five children, loved vegetables, in the United States, they found it expensive to get fresh vegetables and fruits, so they turned to less nutritious fare.
Wali has taught Al Nomany and her family how to read labels and the importance of exercise, even if it is just walking outside around her apartment building multiple times. And she has also helped her overcome other barriers inhibiting her progress that have resulted because of her inability to speak English.
"She was missing medical appointments because she couldn't understand the calls coming in because they were in English," said Wali. "Obtaining medicine at the pharmacy was difficult because if there was an issue, she wasn't able to understand what was being asked of her and basically would just give up and leave." Wali said she has found different ways to help her and to make processes easier, thus enabling her to help achieve her health goals.
Overcoming cultural barriers
Al Nomany and Arce's challenges are not unique. In fact, these types of issues are exactly the reason for the CHW initiative and the building of the Center of Excellence for Culturally Effective Care. "Coming from a different culture and language can have real health impacts in ways people don't think about," said Tarahija. "For example, when I came here, I had never had peanut butter, so when offered a peanut butter sandwich to provide me with protein, I didn't want to eat it. For many cultures, things like peanut butter or pasta sauce or other foods are simply not part of their understanding, culture and habits."
Nor, in many cases, is the concept of asking for help, or knowing how to do it. As Miranda explains, she has been helping patients with diabetes only to find that they aren't taking their medicine because it makes them sick to their stomachs, but saying that they are in fact doing so.
Others have candy hidden in their bedrooms, again not understanding that the CHWs are simply there to help them improve their health. "I tell them I need to know everything," said Miranda. "I ask them to 'pinky swear,' and then I realize they don't know what 'pinky swear' is, and we laugh when I explain it to them."
MCHC is well prepared to provide culturally effective care. The health center serves a highly vulnerable population with disproportionately large numbers of low-income, uninsured and minorities. In calendar year 2012, MCHC provided 37,809 health care visits for 7,886 patients from Manchester and surrounding communities, of whom:
. 93 percent lived at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
. 42 percent were uninsured, 39 percent had Medicaid and 9 percent had Medicare.
. 43 percent were best served in a language other than English.
Today, MCHC's number of active patients is 12,061, with over 5,150 patients requiring an interpreter at visits.
Almost 50 percent of MCHC's staff (including provider and management staff) come from diverse communities and the organization employs six foreign language interpreters on staff, 20 contract interpreters, and over 70 of the most common handouts and forms have been translated into the top eight languages besides English.
With more than 20 years of experience in providing integrated care to a very diverse population, the health center is excited to see that its newest initiatives are already proving successful.
Success stories
For Al Nomany, that means blood pressure readings that have gone from a very unhealthy 148/100 to a reading in July of a perfect 120/80. The 38-year-old has also begun to lose weight.
She has gone from someone who was rightfully fearful of dying a year ago of a heart attack or stroke, to seeing positive improvements not only in her life, but in the life of her family. "This program has helped to save my life so that I can take care of my family," said Al Nomany.
Arce has lost 67 pounds over the course of the past year, lowered her blood pressure and her blood sugar, and is a lot more active and, as a result, happier. "I would not be where I am were it not for Jazmin coming into my home and helping me with everything, teaching me what I should eat and how to exercise," said Arce. "Jazmin is professional and loves what she's doing. You can see it. She has a good heart."
"We're at the forefront of health care right now," said Tarahija, adding that while they still have a ways to go and lots to learn, they must be doing something right. "We had one family come to Manchester Community Health Care after a Community Health Worker visited their home to see if the program was for real. They just couldn't believe this type of help was available."
Manchester Community Health Center (MCHC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) federally qualified health center offering high quality, comprehensive, and family-oriented primary health care and support services since 1993.

In business headlines around the country, the media quoted that several of the handheld computing companies, including Palm, were introducing meal-planning and personal-training software. The value proposition is that more of us are mobile and a large percentage of that population is headed toward a health crisis. In one of these articles it stated that a partnership between a handheld software company and Weight Watchers has created one of the best-selling software downloads of the season.
There are very clear signs that your customers are embracing technology to improve their own health. Last month, Fitness Business Pro's Associate Editor Jennipher Shaver wrote about the trend toward clubs using BMR (basal metabolic rate) and RMR (resting metabolic rate). Neither of these methods is new but both have had a sound following among athletes and other performance aficionados. The news here is that clubs, both boutique and larger chains, are using these methodologies to target baseline measures to show progress. Clubs report success with this in terms of participation and profit. So, what does this mean, and what can we expect for 2005 and beyond? How about:
Technologically simple ways to make strength machines easier to navigate with less user time and motion. Good examples include the latest versions of cable-driven strength training machines.
Using heart rate, VO2 and the aforementioned BMR and RMR as baselines, clubs and trainers will create increasingly personalized programs. Again, these will not be sold as "one offs' but rather as an integral part of a complete program.
Online training will become a much more common extension of in-club personal training. Although much has been written about this subject, and many of the early players have gone, e-mail and the use of online tools will become an important service for many club-based trainers. Some clubs will create and use their Web sites to drive this service while others will partner with proven entities. These services will link with steadily growing "life coaching" businesses that are maturing in the fitness market. The Web will allow coaches a more robust and simpler way to provide lifestyle assessments and help clients with time and stress management tools while away from the club.
Increasingly sophisticated nutritional software programs will not only aid club registered dieticians in assessment and programming, but will also provide the ability to highly customize their recommendations. This will take the form of everything from providing food recommendations based on client preference to helping dieticians make appropriate supplement recommendations.
You'll see simpler and more customized exercise software solutions that your members can use in the club and while traveling. The key here is that these solutions have extremely simple user interfaces and are able to be integrated into existing lifestyles, e.g. Microsoft Outlook, etc. Some will take the form of portable software, and others will integrate with your member's current technology choices. The general rule is that if it takes more than one or two clicks to make an exercise appointment or food entry, your members won't use it.
Cardiovascular machines will get smarter and simpler. Anyone can make an elliptical trainer or treadmill with programs and a display, but the winners will make larger backlit displays that cater to aging eyes and require no learning curve.
Thought-leading clubs will test and use devices that were once strictly used in the domain of mind/body and Chinese medical practitioners to integrate everything from massage to relaxation techniques and herbs to members.
Meridian Stress Assessment System. These systems measure electrical impulses that link to different organs in the body. Manufacturers claim that their products give the user the ability to also determine deficiencies both nutritionally and stress related.
One final thought on the dark side of technology. Many club members rush from their office, soccer practice and other appointments to make it to your club. Their day includes dealing with traffic while talking on the cell phone, checking their Blackberries or listening to news radio. At its essence, taking care of our bodies goes hand in hand with taking care of our mental state. Consider that what many of your members need is to simply come to the gym and be "present" in their workouts. For many, this may mean unplugging from technology and being mindful when they are exercising. It may be the only part of their day where they have the opportunity to focus on just being with themselves without the distractions of more information or having to click through another computerized program. For that reason, you should choose the technologies you install accordingly and wisely.

Illuminate Your Mission
The Veritas Institute fosters ethically and socially responsible organizational conduct by promoting, applying, adapting and continually improving the Self-Assessment and Improvement Process (SAIP). Through its engagements with practitioners and collaborations with scholars, the institute also aids the formation of ethical, effective leaders.
The Business Ethics Assessment Method (BEAM)
The BEAM is an organizational assessment and improvement process based on ISO26000, an international standard that provides guidance on corporate ethics and social responsibility. The BEAM helps leaders perform an evidence-based ethical appraisal of their organization, one that highlights opportunities to more fully embed vital moral values within its operating policies, processes and practices.
The Catholic Identity Matrix (CIM)
The CIM is an organizational assessment and improvement process designed to help Catholic health care leaders strengthen the Catholic identity of their organizations. The CIM yields a qualitative portrait of the current state of an organization's management system, and a quantitative appraisal of the extent to which its operating processes are shaped by six principles for Catholic health care.
- Facilitating application of assessment tools based on the SAIP method within for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.
- Extending the SAIP method to new applications and enhancing the method based on lessons taken from practice.
- Working with academic partners inside and outside the University of St. Thomas to support teaching and scholarship on the institutionalization of ethical conduct within organizations.
The Veritas Institute, in partnership with the James J. Hill Reference Library, has developed eQuiz, a 21-question survey that takes about 20 minutes to complete. The eQuiz introduces executives to the concept of ethical self-assessment and offers ideas on how to build a culture that supports ethical behavior.

Commonwealth bans mid-water trawl freezer vessels
THE super trawler Abel Tasman will not be allowed to fish in Australia's small pelagic fishery region after the Commonwealth banned all large mid-water trawl freezer vessels from fishing such regions.
While Environment Minister Tony Burke previously banned the trawler from operating in Australian waters, the ban has been extended to all similar trawlers from fishing the small migratory fish.
MR Burke said the decision was based on "uncertainty about the environmental impacts" of such vessels on the fish.
The decision comes after various companies and community groups put in submissions to the government about its temporary ban on the super trawler.
Mr Burke said he also had the backing of Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig on the ban, which will run for two years, while an expert panel investigates the possible effects of such large freezer trawlers.
"I will decide on the make-up of the panel and its terms of reference in consultation with the Fisheries Minister," Mr Burke said.
"My aim is to have the panel up and running in the coming weeks so it can begin this important task of assessing the environment impacts of this kind of fishing

Mitt Romney took the initiative and the lead with his thrashing of Barack Obama in their first debate, and little or nothing has changed since then. Today's Rasmussen survey finds Romney leading Obama 49%-47%. So the race continues to be remarkably free of volatility. As we anticipated, the vice-presidential debate sparked a lot of controversy, but has had little or no impact on the race.
One factor that probably buoys Romney is that he is finally equaling Obama's ad spending in the swing states, and sometimes even exceeding it. Until now, what voters have seen about Romney on television, whether in the form of advertising or "news reporting," has been negative by a margin of three to one. Finally getting through to voters in his own voice should help to keep Romney's numbers up.
This ad, based on the vice-presidential debate, came out today. It is called "Fiscal Discipline," and juxtaposes Paul Ryan talking seriously about the nation's financial problems with shots of the buffoonish Joe Biden. It is effective because it pounds on a winning theme: the nation cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama's irresponsibility:

Pit Girl Needs Home
I got a call from a friend that does Pug rescue. She has a friend in the Portland area that took in a 2 yr old? female pit. She's white with reddish brown spots.........she will email me pics later this evening. She's very sweet and doesn't seem to have any issues at this point, at least none that she can see. Any way, the girl can't keep her, she has 2 pugs already and would like to find her a home or surrender her. I said I would post to see if anyone could help down in her area? Or perhaps up my way? Thanks.

28 U.S. Code § 954 - Vacancy in clerk position; absence of clerk
When the office of clerk is vacant, the deputy clerks shall perform the duties of the clerk in the name of the last person who held that office. When the clerk is incapacitated, absent, or otherwise unavailable to perform official duties, the deputy clerks shall perform the duties of the clerk in the name of the clerk. The court may designate a deputy clerk to act temporarily as clerk of the court in his or her own name.
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 8, 222 and 327 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, §§ 4, 125, 221, 36 Stat. 1087, 1132, 1153).
Section consolidates parts of sections 8, 222 and 327 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed.
Sections 8, 222 and 327 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., related only to district courts, courts of appeals and the Supreme Court, respectively. This section applies to all Federal courts and is in conformity with section 548 [546] of this title relating to death of a United States marshal.
The provision for continuance of the salary of the clerk of the Supreme Court until his successor is appointed and qualifies was inserted to preserve existing law as declared in the unpublished opinion of Chief Justice Taft, March 23, 1932 (filed in the Department of Justice), with respect to a deceased clerk of the Supreme Court.
Other provisions of sections 8, 222 and 327 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., are incorporated in sections 671, 711, and 751 of this title.
1996—Pub. L. 104–317 substituted "Vacancy in clerk position; absence of clerk" for "Death of clerk; duties of deputies" in section catchline and amended text generally. Prior to amendment, text read as follows:
"Upon the death of any clerk of court, his deputy or deputies shall execute the duties of the deceased clerk in his name until his successor is appointed and qualifies.
"The compensation of a deceased clerk of the Supreme Court may be paid to his personal representatives until his successor is appointed and qualifies."
1972—Pub. L. 92–310 struck out "and remedies against" before "deputies" in section catchline and repealed provisions which related to the default or misfeasance of a deputy in connection with the bond of a deceased clerk of a Federal court.

'Spontaneously inspired'
Five days after the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Susan Rice appeared on "Face the Nation" to give the public an update on the available information. She explained that it was too early to draw "definitive conclusions," but the "best information we have to date" suggested the violence "began spontaneously … as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo" in response to the anti-Islam internet video.
The ambassador then added, "But soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in Benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that effort with heavy weapons." Asked about a possible al Qaeda role, Rice said this was unclear, explaining, "I think this is one of the things we'll have to determine."
For John McCain and other increasingly-hysterical Obama administration critics, Rice was lying and her use of the word "spontaneous" is itself an outrageous scandal. It's not altogether clear why this is causing far-right apoplexy, but this is where we find ourselves at this point.
In an interesting twist, CBS News obtained the CIA talking points given to Rice in preparation of her interview.
CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan says the talking points, which were also given to members of the House intelligence committee, make no reference to terrorism being a likely factor in the assault, which left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. […]
The CIA's talking points read as follows: "The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the US Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the US diplomatic post in Benghazi and subsequently its annex. There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations."
In other words, what Rice said is, almost to the syllable, exactly what the combined judgment of the intelligence community believed as of the time of her interview. She wasn't lying; she wasn't incompetent; and she wasn't covering anything up.
Yes, the CIA assessment later changed as more information became available, but that only bolsters what Rice said at the time – that the search for answers was ongoing.
McCain's smear campaign simply isn't based on facts. The senator owes Rice an apology.
