Mouline was built as a small water mill in about 1850. It was burnt down
38 years ago and stood as a ruin for 35 years. The owners have completed a
sympathetic restoration that combines many of the original features with
the extensive use of glass to take advantage of the magnificent views.
The Play Therapy Training Centre uses a converted barn as a teaching
facility and shady areas of the grounds and other structures for the
experiential and practical exercises.
The Centre stands in 26 acres bordered by a mill stream, set in the beautiful Tarnaise countryside. The grounds contain a
small lake with an island and rowing boat. There is a heated salt water
swimming pool for your use. Most students have a dip before lunch and at
5pm after the teaching. We grow all our own vegetables and you will
be able to pick fruit that is in season from a selection of over 70
fruit trees.
Although the nearest neighbour is a kilometre away La Mouline is only 10
minutes from the charming small town of Realmont which has an excellent
supermarket, 5 bakers, 4 butchers, 2 pharmacies a doctor with fluent
English and 6 ladies' hairdressers(!) The beautiful city of Albi,
(Toulouse-Lautrec centre), with many hotels, is a 20 minute drive way.
Normally the weather is warm to very hot in

Cape Horn & the Glaciers/Fjords of Tierra Del Fuego
There are four or five places all over the world in the presence of which man feels perturbed, surrounded as they are by a perennial mystical aura of spirituality. If, as it is the case of Cape Horn, they are the craved destination, the obliged passage, the insuperable difficulty, everything takes the aspect and the importance of the sanctuary and of the unconsciously supernatural place. After all, its positioning of 55°56' south and 67°19' west, the particular orographic formation and the intensity of atmospheric phenomena which surround it, turn Cape Horn unique and matchless. Cape Horn, loved and hated by seamen over the last four hundred years.

Visited this collective over a few months ago. I wanted to say although I haven't been to this collective in a min. My ex drove me there & I had a blast. Good service, phat hook-up & a cool sista' w/ knowledge of buds was very helpful. Don't know if she still works there but moving here from Tacoma makes it easier to visit this location.
I'm coming back for that great service & nuggets.
Only issue is there is no reward system for customers who take time out of their day to reward for a free gram??? Too many paces to choose from so look for the one that gives love for all the money you spend on non-free meds.
Seattle Quality Hey there! Sorry about the lack of rewards program. We are actually working towards getting a rewards/loyalty/punch card program in place. There have been a few transitions in the store lately, and we apologize for the delay. come back and see us and we will make sure we show you some love! :) Thanks for the review!
To the rude fat guy, whom I had never seen before this morning...
Your rudeness lost SQC a long time customer. Your people profits before people attitude
is better suited for dealing out of you house or your car, and wasted on me.
The joy is, I go to my other guys, they gave it to me for ten dollars.
" any time Jess "... They said, so they did.
I won't set foot in the Seattle quality collective again
until the rude fat man has been dropped into a volcano...
which means never.
5$ fat man?
Seattle Quality To the rude gentleman who graced us with his radiant presence this morning: You came in to my shop (Of which me, the fat guy, is the manager.) and immediately demanded a discount on a very well known and good-selling product. You don't go in to another store (i.e., Safeway, Rite-Aid, etc.) and ask for a discount on your items for no reason, do you? If one of their competitors has the same product for a similar price, you tell them where it is and let them verify it. You simply told me "I get it for cheaper down the road." You didn't tell me where or what kind of quality it was. I informed you if what our specials were, and you were not enthused by it. That I get, but trying to shame someone/a company for not giving in to your immediate demands is a little silly, don't you think? I am sorry these reasons caused you to want to leave. I really do still hope you have a good day.

It's official, I've found my favorite place EVER! My first visit with Holly and her husband was so much fun and so informative, I've been searching for a shop to see regularly, and I'm IN LOVE! The shop is much cleaner than any other I've seen, a HUGE selection, and the best budtenders I've found yet! Plus, the buds go from great to AMAZING, with pricing that fits my tight budget. THANK YOU HOLLY!! THANK YOU SEATTLE QUALITY COLLECTIVE!! These people care about their patients because they are sick like us, this lady is a survivor, and understands how important these meds are. The level of compassion and education here blows the rest out of the sound!!!!!!
Im a little bit angry. Ive been coming here since they opened, seen a lot of changes, this one in particular was for the worse. Im sure it was in effort to remain competetive, they recently added daily specials. Medible monday being my favorite. Not anymore! I went in today and saw they changed the sale to a free bon bon. You cant advertise one thing, then change it on loyal patients who rely on those price breaks to help us save $ on our already grossly overpriced medicine. Not holding this against the budtenders, just frusterated at the lack of consistancy with the owner.
We're sorry that some of the daily specials changed. Our plan was to try and change some of the specials around each month and to maybe change some days around too in order to give people that aren't able to make it that day a chance to get it. Thank you for letting us know and in the future we'll try and give some more notice of our changes.
Im actually a regular at this place. Usually visit my favorite budtenders Holly and Blake on their sale day tuesday when all the grams are $10. Decided to stop in this weekend and to my disappointment, met the owner. I have MS and a lot of trouble sleeping, Holly always sends me home with what I need. In her absence, I mistakenly listened to the recomendation of the owner. He pushed the strain he had the most of, a big huge jar of some sativa that made me feel crazy when I tried it last nite. EDUCATION PEOPLE, please! Educate yourself so you dont ruin another persons day!! I always felt he was a money hungry dork, I just never expected him to ignore my requests and act like he didnt care. I dont give my money to people who dont care, sorry Seattle Quality Collective, despite the good, the bad has prevailed, I wont be back.
I'm very sorry to hear that the Pineapple Express didn't work well for you. It's usually a very good strain for people who have nerve issues. I wouldn't have recommended it if I knew sleep was an issue though, it is more of a day time strain.The reason the Pineapple Express is in the big jar is because it and Girl Scout Cookies are our two most popular strains. I care very much about our patients here and to hear that you had that bad experience I've very sorry. We have a full return policy in case something doesn't work the way it's suppose to and I'm truelly sorry that you had a crazy experience.
My first time at their shop, was greeted by a nice guy who introduced me to his cool ass wife. This chick is a tride and true weed nerd! She knew every bit about the hundreds of products they have, impressive stock. Got a great deal on my meds and enjoyed the talk with two nice kids from my homestate of michigan. Go see Hollie and Corey, you wont regret it, Thanks you two for making my experiance memorable, see you soon!
We have many Fantastic Strains to make sure we have something that will work for you. Very Knowledgeable staff to help find you the best medicine for you medical needs. For Pain Relief, Nausea, Appetite, Migraines, Crohns Disease, and Skin Issues we can help find the right strain, lotion or medible to help relieve your symptoms.

Follow-Up Audit of the After-School Plus (A +) Program of the Department of Education
Follow-Up Audit of the After-School Plus (A +) Program of the Department of Education
Report No. 98-18
The Department of Education provides after-school care services to public school latchkey students in grades kindergarten through six through its After-School Plus (A+) Program. During School Year (SY) 1997-98 the program served about 22,500 students at 177 public school sites at an approximate cost of $ 11 million. Parents paid the State about $5 million in fees that year.
The Office of the Auditor conducted a follow-up audit of the A+ Program for SY1997-98. The audit examined the extent to which the findings and recommendations contained in our Audit of the After-School Plus (A+) Programs of the Department of Education, Report No. 96-20, are being addressed.
In our follow-up audit, we found that the department has made improvements in the management controls of the A+ program. However, the department continues to experience difficulties in limiting the program to eligible students, efficiently staffing the A+ program, and enforcing fiscal controls.
We found the screening practices for program eligibility and reduced program fees remain deficient. We estimated 2,700 ineligible students may have been enrolled in A+ during SY1997-98 at a cost of about $364,000. We also found parents provided the department with inconsistent employment and income information when applying for A+ and reduced school lunch fees, indicating a strong possibility of intentional misrepresentation to obtain benefits from both programs.
Staffing problems continue to plague the department and result in higher student to staff ratios, the employment of unqualified staff, the appearance of nepotism, and the practice of not openly recruiting for the highest paid A+ positions. Furthermore, the department has not ensured that additional staff or special needs students are hired only as needed, thereby draining A+ resources unnecessarily.
We also found that the department has established additional controls to ensure proper program collections and reimbursements; however, staff ignore these controls resulting in uncollected program fees, the tolerance of extremely late fees, the arbitrary assessment of program fines, and overpayments to private providers. Furthermore, fiscal controls over cash receipts are inadequate and do not ensure all collections are deposited into the state general fund. Specifically, cash is not safeguarded against theft and the segregation of duties over cash receipts, deposits, and reconciliation is not enforced. The failure to enforce the segregation of duties resulted in the misuse of personnel funds at two sites. At the time of our audit only one site coordinator had taken any action to recoup overpayments made to herself, her daughter and other staff.
We found many of the non-compliance issues identified in our follow-up audit were also identified in our previous audit, by the department's own internal auditor, and by an independent accounting firm. The department's failure to establish clear lines of authority in the A+ Program and the lack of formal disciplinary procedures have contributed to the department's inability to hold staff accountable for non-compliance with established policies.
Recommendations and Response
We recommended that the superintendent of education ensure all staff are trained in program procedures, clarify the chain of authority for the A+ Program, and formalize disciplinary procedures to ensure accountability. We also recommended that the department improve procedures to identify student eligibility for A+ and reduced program fees; staff sites based on attendance patterns; develop criteria for allocating special needs staff; and implement fiscal controls to ensure proper fee collections, timely deposits, and the safeguarding of cash.
The Board of Education and the Department of Education agree that problems remain with the implementation and enforcement of program guidelines. The board and department responded that they are committed to providing quality and affordable after-school care for latchkey children and that they will take appropriate action where non-compliance occurs, including removing district and site coordinators and replacing A+ site coordinators with private providers. The superintendent also plans to issue a directive that identifies specific expectations for A+ program fiscal accountability, and that adopts our recommendations.
The board and department do not agree that criteria should be established for allocating special needs staff; however, they do agree that special needs staffing requests should be annually reevaluated. The department also does not agree that A+ should be staffed on the basis of attendance patterns rather than enrollment. The department believes staffing to attendance would be difficult to implement and would affect student health and safety.

Right of the bat I would say that rivers could not originate from a sea and flow outward, being that the location of the sea would be the lowest point in the terrain, and as far as I know water only flows into oceans and sea's, except in cases of things like tidal bores, where the salt water flows back up the fresh water course due to tides....but it really made me think, as sometimes what we think we know is not always true, so I did a google search and could not find any reference of rivers out flowing from a sea. but as there are sea's below "sea level" i could be wrong. The definition of a sea though is a saline lake that lacks a natural outlet
Large fresh water lakes could have outflows though. The great lakes are connected by atleast 5 rivers, and are called inland seas by some, so it is possible to have your seas have outflows. So if your terrain suits an eastward and westward flowing river, it may work.

But it seems that everyone's spirits are brightened with the upcoming holiday season and fond memories of family gatherings and scrumptious meals.
Many of us who are so blessed naturally think of those less fortunate in our community. Several organizations just this last Tuesday were overwhelmed with generosity in the form of charitable donations through the Coastal Bend Day of Giving campaign.
Among those who benefited from this annual outpouring was the Beeville Vineyard, which received $36,118 – along with the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, HALO-Flight, Women's Shelter of South Texas and 25 others.
Some $562,614 was raised via online donations in 24 hours to help these local nonprofits, with $310,000 in matching funds given by 15 donor organizations – for a total of $872,614, a phenomenal increase from last year.
Vineyard officials, including Pastor Larry McRorey, were overjoyed with the response and thanked the Bee-Picayune for its "wonderful cover stories which helped raise awareness."
Obviously, it's not too late to get involved with efforts to assist The Vineyard and its Christmas Angels program, which helps make the holidays a little brighter for those in need.
In our last edition, the Toys for Tots project was touted. This is the first year that Beeville has had its own homegrown Toys for Tots program, thanks to the efforts of coordinator Kay Past, who attended the training.
"I know it will help the Christmas Angels get better toys for the kids, because the Marines offer a lot of support," Past said. "We have already bought $1,000 worth of toys."
"Christmas Angels will continue to collect money to give food and toiletries to the families," she said. "So, the Toys for Tots will simply take over the toy portion."
Lupe Sanchez, executive director, said that the Vineyard began registering families this week. The Vineyard is registering up to 400 families and 200 elderly residents for the giveaways, which will be hosted at family shopping days for three weeks in December.
Toy collection boxes can be found at more than 20 locations throughout the community (including our newspaper office).
Starting Dec. 1, volunteers will be needed to transform the Vineyard warehouse into Santa's workshop. Many more volunteers will be needed from Dec. 5-21 to assist parents in shopping for their children and wrapping the toys.
Anyone who wishes to volunteer should call the Vineyard at 358-7500 or go by the agency at 210 N. Monroe St.
We wish all our readers a happy Thanksgiving and memorable holiday season.
– Chip Latcham

I started work in the B2B and EDI industry almost a decade ago and many of the same EDI myths that were prevalent then are still common. Even in the face of a decade of evidence to the contrary, they seem to persist. In this blog, I want to address three of the most common myths about EDI.
Here are the top three EDI myths that I encounter:
- EDI is on the decline. The top myth by far is that EDI will disappear in favor of Internet standards such as XML and its variants or some unknown technology to be discovered. Though this notion comes up less often than it used to; however, this myth does not go away, even after years of continued EDI traffic growth. IBM Sterling Collaboration Network, which is IBM's value added network, has seen year over year growth in traffic during the decade since I started working there.1 Additionally, companies continue to depend on EDI. Looking at 2013 research, 46% of the companies surveyed use EDI "heavily" with an additional 31% reporting "some: EDI usage2. On its face, this is an easy myth to bust; EDI has worked for decades and is deeply entrenched in companies and supply chains. And as the old saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I don't see companies ripping and replacing EDI anytime in the foreseeable future. Sure companies will add on to EDI and complement it with newer technologies and formats, but EDI shows no signs of going away.
- The Internet will replace EDI. When the Internet and World Wide Web first came into wide usage, many industry commentators speculated that EDI could not be used with the EDI network technology. Nothing could be further from the truth. As we have seen the Internet is the communications backbone of choice for most current EDI systems. Instead of being incompatible with EDI or replacing it, the Internet has spurred growth in traffic and in EDI users, making it more accessible to more organizations.
- EDI is prohibitively expensive, and ROI is hard to achieve. As with any technology, EDI has start-up costs and a learning curve as companies get ramped up. Programming interfaces, creating maps and other upfront tasks can be more than new organizations expect when they first begin down the path to implementing EDI. However, that does not mean that return on investment (ROI) is difficult to achieve. Automating transactions that were done manually provides a significant savings on each transaction. For example, on average the cost savings from automating a manually processes purchase order is $9.89, for an invoice is $11.58 and a remittance is $12.963. So you can see the savings for each document transacted and when you multiply that savings by the number of manual documents that are automated, you understand how a positive ROI can be achieved.

My new Wicked1 strings!
Here they are!
They are Joe's Wicked1 blend. I think they turned out great except I ordered too much red on the cable. Not Joe's fault, that's how I ordered them and that's the only thing I would change. I shot the heck out of them last night and no peep rotation last night. I wasn't shooting well but I think it's just getting used to changing things once again. Only one more thing to change and then I think I am done lol!Proudly representing BowTech, Oak Ridge Archery, Vaportrail, Gold Tip, Dead Center Archery Products and CNC slings for the 2012 season

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
I'm trying to collect some thoughts about this issue, I launched a feed service recently and want to know what people prefer? to host a feed with a feed service? or to use a feed script right from their own server?
Now if you prefer to use feed script from your own server, how I can change your mind? meaning, what is the features you ask for to start using a hosted feed service?
I appreciate any help.
I prefer to keep control of my feeds even if I use a third-party like FeedBurner to host them. I use a 302 redirect [webmasterworld.com] to help keep visitors subscribing to a feed with my URL. Now that FeedBurner has been acquired by Google you can now also use their MyBrand service for free. That lets you change your DNS to serve feeds from your domain.
The biggest problem with using an outside service is that it's hard to know how long they'll be around. If you build up a large subscriber base and the third-party company disappears there goes all your work. The third party need to make the process as transparent as possible for the user.
I'm aware of "mybrand" service that feedburner provides, so I took this step already and added this feature to my service, I almost added every feature that feedburner has and more but still on my test server and will go live soon.
The only thing I can't compete feedburner with is " reputation ", so you're totally right, I need to make people trust my service, "trust" is way important than any feature :) and I'll start working on this point.
Thank you for your thoughts, they really helped

Research firm Gartner reports that what it terms the "e-recruitment software" market is growing at a strong pace. In 2006, it estimated that total revenue grew more than 12 percent, to $410 million. In its June 2008 report on the market, Gartner said similar or slightly higher growth rates were expected last year, but offered no predictions for 2008. Gartner observed that customers for these systems "are ready to move beyond basic recruiting automation toward overall effectiveness."

etnies Girl and BlueStarrMX team riders Tarah Gieger and Sarah Whitmore kicked off the highly anticipated 2005 Women's Motocross Association (WMA) National Series at Glen Helen this past Saturday by taking first and second place, respectively. Coming off a pelvis injury sustained in late January, Tarah swept both heats and won the Sick Racing Holeshot Award in the second moto, earning her the overall win. "I've never won both motos, so I am really excited about this accomplishment," she said. Sarah battled it out against Jessica Patterson to secure second place overall.

etnies Girl motocross team manager Matt Chapman was thrilled with the team's results and said, "I can't think of a better way to kick off the season than by taking the top two positions in the race this weekend and emerging as the WMA leaders. We wish the girls best of luck in round two this weekend at Hangtown."
Fuel TV's "GKA" was on-site to catch all the action for an upcoming episode, as was Speedvision's "2 Wheel Tuesday." "With almost a full gate here today these women put on a great race for their fans," said WMA President Miki Keller. "Our pro program has been growing by leaps and bounds with more and more amateur girls turning pro each year, so the races will just continue to get more competitive."
Both Gieger and Whitmore have been in Southern California since early last week preparing for the race. Next up, they're off to round two of the WMA National Series held in conjunction with the AMA National Outdoor Series on Saturday at Hangtown in Sacramento, Calif., followed by round three at Thunder Valley in Lakewood, Colo., on July 23-24, round four in Washougal, Wash., and round five at Steel City in Delmont, Penn.

Gov. Kasich's Bias Toward Secrecy
German Lopez
0 Comments · Wednesday, August 21, 2013
Like many politicians, Gov. John Kasich touted transparency and openness on the campaign trail, but this year's JobsOhio controversies have proven that the governor was all talk and no action when he made such claims.

Homeless shelters report rise in calls, Cincinnati loses jobs, JobsOhio controversy continues
Greater Cincinnati homeless shelters are reporting a 31 percent increase in the number of families calling for help — a sign that homelessness may be trending up. Meanwhile, City Council managed to avoid cutting funding to human services that help the homeless this year, but the local government has steadily provided less funding since 2004, as CityBeat covered in further detail here.Cincinnati lost 4,000 jobs from June to July, but it gained 14,000 between July 2012 and July this year, far above the 3,000 necessary to keep up with annual population growth, according to data released yesterday by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was at 7.1 percent in July, down from 7.3 percent in June and 7.4 percent in July 2012. The labor force shrunk in comparison to the previous month and year, which means the unemployment rate fell partly because many people stopped looking for jobs. In comparison, Ohio's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was 7.2 percent in July and the U.S. rate was 7.4 percent. More JobsOhio controversy: The state panel that approves tax credits recommended by the privatized development agency has never said no, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Gov. John Kasich and Republicans say the Ohio Tax Credit Authority is supposed to be an independent watchdog on JobsOhio, but both JobsOhio and the Ohio Tax Credit Authority have their boards appointed by the governor. Democrats have been highly critical of JobsOhio for its lack of transparency and privatized nature, but Republicans say both are good traits for an agency that needs to move fast to land job-creating development deals. Meanwhile, two Democrats in the Ohio House are pushing a ban on Ohio officials, including the governor, receiving outside pay. The proposal is largely in response to JobsOhio recommending $619,000 in tax credits in 2012 and 2013 to Worthington Industries, a company that paid Kasich through 2012 for his time on its board. The Ohio Ethics Commission refused to investigate the potential conflict of interest because it said Kasich made a clean break from Worthington when he was elected. Hamilton County taxpayers might have to put up $10 million to give the Cincinnati Bengals a high-definition scoreboard, thanks to the team's lease with the county. Economists generally see stadiums as one of the most over-hyped, unsuccessful urban investments, according to The Nation. No City Council member supports the tea party-backed pension amendment that would privatize Cincinnati's pension system so future city workers, excluding cops and firefighters, contribute to and manage individual 401k-style accounts. Currently, Cincinnati pools pension funds and manages the investments through an independent board. City officials and unions claim the measure will cost the city more than the current system and hurt retirement gains for city employees. But tea party groups say the amendment is necessary to address Cincinnati's growing pension costs, including an $862 million unfunded liability. CityBeat wrote about the amendment and the groups that could be behind it in further detail here. Ohio is partnering up with the Jason Foundation to provide training and information to teachers, coaches, other school personnel, parents and students about suicide, the second leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds after car accidents. The measure aims to curb down suicide rates. Hamilton County and Cincinnati are pursuing joint funding of technology upgrades for 911 services, and the two local governments are moving permitting services to one location, according to a statement from Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann's office. Hartmann has long pursued more city-county collaboration so both can run more efficiently and bring down costs. The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati is now called Interact for Health. The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) yesterday reported 2013's first case of West Nile Virus. A 72-year-old woman in Cuyahoga County is apparently being hospitalized for the disease. ODH Director Ted Wymyslo said in a statement that, while Ohio has dealt with West Nile Virus since 2002, cases have dropped in the past year. The University of Cincinnati is set to break another record for enrollment this fall. Dunnhumby USA yesterday unveiled the design for its downtown headquarters.

Cincinnati Loses Jobs in July
Employment down from June but up compared to last year
The Cincinnati area lost 4,000 jobs from June to July, but it gained 14,000 between July 2012 and July this year, far above the 3,000 necessary to keep up with annual population growth, according to data released today by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was at 7.1 percent in July, down from 7.3 percent in June and 7.4 percent in July 2012. The labor force shrunk in comparison to the previous month and year, which means the unemployment rate fell partly because many people stopped looking for jobs. The unemployment rate gauges the amount of unemployed people looking for work in comparison to the total civilian labor force, which means a decrease in the labor force can bring down the unemployment rate even if employment also drops. Economists generally prefer looking at year-over-year numbers to control for seasonal factors, such as teachers leaving the work force at the end of the school year. July's job gains were largest in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality and educational and health services, but the city lost jobs in mining, logging and construction, manufacturing and all levels of government. Ohio's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was 7.2 percent in July. The U.S. rate was 7.4 percent. Since the job numbers are derived from surveys, they are often revised in later months.

Ohio's jobless rate unchanged, Port patches parking lease, anti-abortion bill returns
Ohio's unemployment rate remained at 7.2 percent in July, unchanged from June, according to new data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The amount of employed Ohioans went up by 5,300 from month-to-month and 37,700 year-over-year, showing stronger signs of job growth than earlier in the year. But the amount of jobless Ohioans still looking for jobs went up by 3,000 between June and July. In the past year, the private service-providing sector, education and health services and leisure and hospitality have gained the most jobs, while local government and construction jobs have plummeted. The Port Authority of Greater Cincinnati proposed keeping neighborhood parking meter hours the same under a lease agreement with Cincinnati in which the city is handing over control of its parking meters, lots and garages to the Port and the agency is tasking private companies with operating the assets. Keeping the meter hours the same as today, instead of expanding them as previously suggested, would lower Cincinnati's upfront lease revenue from $92 million to $88.3 million and reduce annual payments, which were originally projected at $3 million but estimated to go up over the life of the lease. Still, the move would satisfy neighborhood residents and businesses who were worried the expanded hours would quickly become a financial hassle. CityBeat covered the parking lease and the controversy surrounding it in further detail here. Republican legislators are reintroducing a bill that would ban abortions in Ohio as early as six weeks after conception, even though questions remain about the proposal's constitutionality. The bill has been dubbed the "heartbeat bill" because it prohibits abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. A federal judge on July 22 blocked a similar law in North Dakota after deeming it unconstitutional. "The United States Supreme Court has unequivocally said that no state may deprive a woman of the choice to terminate her pregnancy at a point prior to viability," wrote U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland, who was appointed to the District of North Dakota seat by former President George W. Bush in 2002. Health experts generally agree viability is not reached until 24 weeks into the pregnancy. Part of the Cincinnati streetcar route could be operational in late 2015, much earlier than the Sept. 15, 2016 date the city previously announced for the entire track. The Ohio Ethics Commission won't investigate Gov. John Kasich's relationship with a company that received $619,000 in tax credits from JobsOhio because Kasich supposedly made a clean break from the company upon taking office. JobsOhio, the privatized development agency established by Kasich and Republican legislators, has been mired in controversy in the past few weeks for providing state aid to companies that have direct financial ties to JobsOhio board members and the governor. Meanwhile, Kasich is fueling speculation that he will run for president in 2016. Cincinnati mayoral candidate and ex-Councilman John Cranley on Thursday unveiled an innovation plan that he says will boost government transparency and help foster Cincinnati's newly gained reputation as a tech startup hub. The plan would take $5 million in capital funds over four years and ask local startup incubators Cintrifuse, The Brandery and CincyTech where they would like to see the money going. It would also call for hiring a chief innovation officer (CIO) and creating "CincyData," a transparency initiative that would gather and publish city data to create "a more efficient, effective and user-friendly City government." Under the plan, both the CIO position and CincyData would be leveraged to find new ways to carry out city services in the hopes of running the local government more efficiently. Cincinnati Public Schools' ratings are likely to dip as the school district transitions into Common Core standards and a new state report card system. Superintendent Mary Ronan says the district is doing well but needs to work on getting kids' reading scores up to grade level. CityBeat originally covered the ratings drop here and some of the hurdles faced by CPS in the past few years here. New data show the growth of health care costs is slowing down in the Cincinnati area. Ohio will come up with a new plan to execute condemned inmates no later than Oct. 4 to deal with the state's expiring supply of drugs used to carry out capital punishments. Specifics were not detailed in court filings. Procter & Gamble is recalling dog and cat food because some of the product may be contaminated with Salmonella.

Cranley Unveils Innovation Plan
Mayoral candidate hopes to continue Cincinnati's tech startup momentum
Cincinnati mayoral candidate and ex-Councilman John Cranley today announced his two-part innovation plan, which he said would boost government transparency and help continue the nationally recognized momentum Cincinnati has recently gained as a tech startup hub. The plan would take $5 million over four years from the capital budget and ask local startup incubators Cintrifuse, The Brandery and CincyTech where they would like to see the money going. As one example, Cranley said the money could help host an annual "hackathon" in which savvy innovators compete to create apps that could better connect residents and city services. When asked specifically where the money would come from, Cranley said it would be part of the $30 million the city allocates each year to capital projects. Cranley also remarked that the city will have more capital funds if he dismantles the streetcar project, which he has long opposed. Cranley's innovation plan also calls for hiring a chief innovation officer (CIO) and creating "CincyData," a transparency initiative that would gather and publish city data to create "a more efficient, effective and user-friendly City government." "This is about improving customer service for city services," Cranley said. The CIO and CincyData would also help find new ways to carry out city services in the hopes of running the local government more efficiently. Cranley said he's in preliminary talks with Cincinnati Bell to see what it would take and how much it would cost to establish CincyData. As for the CIO, paying for the position's salary would cost the city about $50,000 to $60,000 a year, according to Cranley. That's about 0.01 to 0.02 percent of the city's operating budget. Cranley said he currently has no one in mind for the CIO position. Cranley is running for mayor against fellow Democrat Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who has publicly supported Cincinnati's startup incubators during her time in City Council; Libertarian Jim Berns; and Independent Sandra "Queen" Noble. Cincinnati recently gained national recognition for its tech boom in Entrepreneur and CNBC, with Entrepreneur calling the city "an unexpected hub for tech startups." City Council on Aug. 7 approved using $4.5 million to help move Cintrifuse, The Brandery and CincyTech to new Over-the-Rhine headquarters. Cintrifuse claims the new home will make it easier to attract and keep businesses in Cincinnati, especially since Over-the-Rhine is currently undergoing its own economic revitalization. An Aug. 14 study from Engine and the Kauffman Foundation found high-tech startups add jobs more quickly than new businesses in other sectors, but the startups are also just as likely to fail as other businesses in the long term. The study also found that tech startups are more likely to cluster, so establishing a city or other location as a hub can help bring in more similar businesses.

Report: Childhood Poverty Worse in Hamilton County than State
Despite higher median income, county scores worse than various statewide averages
Hamilton County fares worse than Ohio overall in a series of measurements for children's economic well-being, health, education and safety, according to a report released Aug. 7. The 2013 "Ohio's Kids Count" report from the Children's Defense Fund and Annie E. Casey Foundation finds Hamilton County has a higher median income than Ohio does on average. But the county fares worse than the state in various categories, including childhood poverty, fourth-grade reading and math proficiency, felony convictions and the amount of babies with low birth weights, an early sign of poor health. One example: Hamilton County's childhood poverty rate is 27.7 percent, while Ohio's overall rate is 23.9 percent. If the county brought the rate down to the state average, it would pull more than 3,000 local children out of poverty. Hamilton County's childhood poverty rate dropped from 28.5 percent to 27.7 percent between 2010 and 2011. The report uses state data from between 2009 and 2011 to look at various indicators for children under the age of 18. Some of the data differs from findings from other groups, such as the National Center for Children in Poverty, which found about 48 percent of Cincinnati's children are in poverty. The report claims many of the measured indicators are socially and economically linked, so it should come as little surprise that Hamilton County is doing worse across the board. Still, it advises local, state and federal officials to continue taking action to bring down the troubling numbers. In Cincinnati, City Hall has historically failed to meet its goals for human services funding, which in part helps homeless youth and other struggling children. But local leaders, including city officials and business executives, have backed the Cincinnati Preschool Promise, which aims to place more low- and middle-income Cincinnati children in early education programs. Shiloh Turner, vice president for community investment at the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, today wrote in an email to CityBeat that Preschool Promise backers are currently looking at funding options and will iron out plans and partnerships through meetings scheduled for the next three months. The Kids Count report credits Ohio officials in particular for approving a new voucher program that will subsidize preschool for families at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. The program is expected to reach 7,000 children in the state over the next two years. But the state has generally cut education funding since Gov. John Kasich took office, leaving Cincinnati Public Schools with $15 million less state funding than it received in 2009. At the same time, the federal government is set to cut its food stamp program in November, which progressive think tanks like the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities argue will hurt low-income families in Ohio.

An M1134 Anti-Tank Guided Missile Vehicle (left) from 1st Squadron, 14th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., and an M1A2 SEP Abrams from 2nd Combined Arms Battalion, 136th Infantry Regiment, Minnesota Army National Guard pair up together as part of a hunter-killer team acting as the opposing force during an eXportable Combat Training Capability exercise at Orchard Combat Training Center, south of Boise, Idaho, Aug. 14, 2014. "We're working together at pairing up a Stryker with a tank … so the scouts (act as) the hunter and they're using the tanks to act as the killer and take action on the blue forces," said Capt. Craig Isaacson, a Bloomington, Minn., native and the company commander for Company C, 2-136 CAB. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Chris McCullough)

I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. I'm all for the holiday, for a little mid-winter joy for the turning of our rather arbitrary calendar system. But another revolution around the sun doesn't provide enough impetus for me to declare a personal revolution. Most resolutions are hour-by-hour affairs, not watch-the-ball-drop-and-it's-a-new-me overnight sensations. This may be the year I stop biting my nails, loose twenty pounds and send holiday cards, but it won't be because this is the year I *really* wanted to- it will be because this is the year the incremental work built up to a new habit. We mostly become better people, learn more, improve our skills, break bad habits, build good practices in a creeping, inefficient way. Tempting though it is, the quick fix raises our eyebrows and suspicion. We change ourselves by creating new connections, internally and externally.
Libraries, built by their communities, in turn create communities by building connections. Earlier this month, danah boyd mused about technology and efficiency:
Social technologies that make things more efficient reduce the cost of action. Yet, that cost is often an important signal. We want communication to cost something because that cost signals that we value the other person, that we value them enough to spare our time and attention. Cost does not have to be about money….Time and attention are rare commodities in modern life. Spending time with someone is a valuable signal that you care.
and today, Seth Godin posted about nickel and diming customers:
Wifi is a great example. The marginal cost of hosting one more person on a wifi network is as close to zero as something can be. Charge people more than $10 a day and suddenly you're making hundreds or thousands of dollars of extra profit. Or promise free scuba, but charge people $70 for a checkout course before you let them dive… low marginal cost, high incremental profit.
I have no doubt that this works in the short run. It might even work out to be a viable marketing strategy in some markets. However, the alternative is worth considering. Not only do everything you say you're going to do, but do more.
Offering low marginal cost items for free is a shortcut to generating word of mouth, which is a lot cheaper than buying ads.
Libraries charge for very little, but as we've discussed here before, "it's free" is often code for "it will cost you in minutes and hours." Libraries have the opportunity to be the perfect intersection between technologically-enabled rapidity and community-generating inefficiency.
One of my constant projects (which could be expressed as an annual New Year's resolution, except it lacks an end point) is to keep increasing the efficiency of the paper-shuffling aspects of my life. Anything that doesn't require thought or depth of interaction shouldn't be eating up too much time- on and off the job. We're in the business of connecting people with information which sometimes means connecting them with each other. It almost never means connecting them with long, pointless forms (insert tax season joke here). How are we nickel and diming our patrons' time? Are we efficiently inefficient?
The last thing we want to do is build social solidarity by creating a library where people bond by complaining about the library. Our institutional inefficiency shouldn't stand in the way of the personal, probably inefficient, connection-building that our users came to the library to do. The effort we expend on our patrons should be for them and their needs, not in pushing them down our paper-strewn hallways of information bureaucracy.
This isn't something a New Year's resolution can address. It's a constant process of tiny reinventions, automating the silly, small details of our organizations and workflows (insert Sirsi joke here) and looking every day for ways to facilitate connections between our patrons, each other, and information without getting in their way. 2008 will surely be a year of continued, breakneck speed changes in technology. Instead of feeling defeated and overwhelmed by everything that's whipping towards us, let's meet it head on and use constant change as an excuse for constant improvement.
Happy New Year.

By Matthew Archbold |
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will be speaking at Santa Clara University this month as part of the University President's Speaker Series, which, according to the university's website,"welcomes speakers to campus to further the University's commitment to intellectual rigor, critical thinking, and scholarly and professional excellence."
Rice has been quoted many times expressing her pro-abortion beliefs. According to promotional materials, Rice's lecture will reportedly focus on her diplomacy during her years in the White House following the 9-11 attacks on America. But, her position on abortion gained attention in 2012 when Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was reported to have been considering her as a potential vice presidential nominee.
At that time, her views on abortion rights were pushed to the forefront. When asked by Christianity Today about abortion and her faith, she responded by saying:
I'm generally pretty libertarian in these matters, because Americans are quite good, actually, at finding a way to deal with these extremely divisive and difficult moral issues.
And it's not that I'm a relativist. It's not that I believe everybody has their own morality. But I do understand that there are different ways of thinking about how these issues are going to play out in people's lives, and I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt in governing their own lives. Sometimes when things are out of whack the government has no choice but to step in. But I'm wary of the government stepping in to too many issues…
I'm still coming to terms with it. I don't like the government involved in these really hard moral decisions. While I don't think the country is ready for legislation to overturn Roe v. Wade, certainly I cannot imagine why one would be in favor of partial birth abortion. I also can't imagine why one would take these decisions out of the hands of the family. We all understand that this is not something to be taken lightly.
Rice also described herself in a 2005 interview with the Washington Times as "mildly pro-choice." When asked to elaborate on that in another interview she said that abortion should be legal in the United States ,according to CNSNews.com
Earlier this year, Santa Clara hosted pro-abortion rights author Amy Tan as part of its President's Speaker Series.

Smell-o-Vision and Serious Comedies
François Truffaut, the Friars Club Comedy Film Festival and More in This Week's Repertory Film
'Go Down Death'
124 S. Third St., Brooklyn
Friday–April 3
The scrappy Williamsburg venue presents its first theatrical premiere run. Writer-director Aaron Schimberg's feature debut is an oddball and often inscrutable fantasy set in an imaginary folkloric world that might be a lost outpost of the 19th-century American frontier. The production, in fact, used a Greenpoint warehouse and antique-looking 16mm film to achieve its uncanny design—which nods to classic silent cinema and the early work of David Lynch. Friday and Saturday midnight screenings will be presented in "Smell-o-Vision."
Friars Club Comedy Film Festival
Multiple venues
Tuesday–April 5
Just because they're funny doesn't mean the selections in this annual festival can't be taken seriously. Sleepers such as "Doomsdays," in which a pair of slackers embrace a post-apocalyptic lifestyle only to have the world fail to end, make for a nice surprise. There is an international reach, as well. Social anarchy reigns in the dark Dutch fairy tale "Borgman," while the Spanish "Witching and Bitching" is like "Ghostbusters" gone Goya. Lively shorts programs tackle everything from metaphysics (Sundance audience award winner "Chapel Perilous") to the strange life of sex toys ("Plastic").
Tout Truffaut
Film Forum
209 W. Houston St.
(212) 727-8110
Friday–April 17
A founding figure of the French new wave whose films also found an enduring popular audience in the U.S., François Truffaut (1932–1984) made 21 features during his lifetime–including the five-part " Antoine Doinel" cycle of films begun with "The 400 Blows," his forever-influential 1959 debut. This retrospective includes those, as well as films associated with the director, such as Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," in which Steven Spielberg cast him as a scientist on the trail of alien life. Most screenings are in 35mm.
New Directors/New Films
Multiple venues
Through Sunday
A strong edition of the annual festival devoted to rising cinematic talents wraps up with a Sundance favorite ( Gillian Robespierre's comedy "Obvious Child") and a hallucinatory mystery from Belgium ( Bruno Forzani and Hélène Cattet's "The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears"). Also notable is Anja Marquardt's chilly and disquieting drama "She's Lost Control," with Brooke Bloom as a surrogate partner who does exactly that with a difficult client ( Marc Menchaca of "Homeland"). Closing night brings "20,000 Days on Earth," a playful and intriguingly structured portrait of the musician Nick Cave that pokes at the pretenses of rock 'n' roll biographies.
'Hide Your Smiling Faces'
Cinema Village
22 E. 12th St. (212) 924-3363
Friday–April 3
Traces of classic coming-of-age dramas such as "Stand by Me" and "River's Edge" are evoked in this lyrical and low-key reflection on sudden mortality and childhood's end, as two brothers seek emotional refuge during a troubling summer. Writer-director Daniel Patrick Carbone favors atmosphere and interior life over obvious plot turns, while Nick Bentgen's cinematography turns suburban New Jersey into a landscape Terrence Malick could admire.

Technology update
Sep 23, 2011
Show report: Nanotechnology for sport
Smart textiles, plug-in breath sensing for mobile phones and even fighting robots! Just a few of the applications up for discussion at Nano4Sport in London, UK.
Martin Kemp, theme manager of engineering applications for the UK's NanoKTN, wants to get the creative sector on board with nanotechnology. "It's about building bridges between two worlds," he said. Kemp and his colleagues are about to launch a Nano4design sub-group to introduce designers to micro- and nanotechnologies.
One designer looking to move into nanotechnology is Tom Waller, head of Speedo's Aqualab research and development facility. "The buzz words are biomimicry, superhydrophobicity and shape management," he explained to the audience. "In the water, skin will slow you down."
Laser racer
Speedo has been tremendously successful with its microtextured swimwear (94% of gold medal swimmers at the Beijing Olympics wore suits made by the firm) and the company is now reaching out for technical direction at smaller length scales. Waller pointed out that opportunities extend beyond fast suits. For example, 40% of Speedo's business is in goggles. He went on to add that the high-performance market is dwarfed by opportunities in "play and fun" and "health and well-being" sectors.
Health was a key talking point during one of the event's quick-fire technology pitches. Victor Higgs, CEO of Applied Nanodetectors, grabbed the attention of mobile phone owners with the firm's nano-enabled breath-testing chip. Higgs explained that the company can embed the sensor in portable devices to help asthma sufferers manage their medication levels. The detector responds to a range of biomarkers, including nitric oxide, which is used to track asthma. If you want to view the technology in action, the device will be on display at Innovate UK next month.
Nothing beats seeing an invention being put through its paces. Liz Mallen of Dow Corning had a great example of how demonstration kits are good for business. Thinking "beyond the chemical", Mallen called on the help of designer Chris Lefteri to promote Dow's silicone-based impact protection material dubbed DEFLEXION. The team created swatches to inspire product designers and the material's customer base jumped from one to more than 13 partners as ideas started to flow. Today, the energy-absorbing product can be found in knee pads for downhill bikers, in ski and snowboard wear, and even in rodeo jackets.
At the event, it was fascinating to see how ideas springboard from one application to another. P2i's water-repellent pulsed plasma technology, now used on golf shoes and trainers, started life as a treatment for battlefield clothing to protect soldiers from nerve agents. And there were other examples.
Xennia Technology's industrial inkjet printing kit has found success as a way of applying marbled effects to ceramic tiles, but the piezo-driven head is also ideal for dispensing nanomaterials in picoliters of fluid to enable flexible displays and electronics, to name just a couple of uses.
David Lussey, CTO of technology licensing firm Peratech, is no stranger to diverse applications. The firm was established in 1996 to exploit quantum tunnelling composites (QTCs) and the material can be found on the fingertips of NASA's space robonaut.
QTC is a class of material made from conductive filler particles combined with an elastomeric binder, with the unique ability to smoothly change from an electrical insulator to a metal-like conductor when placed under pressure.
Martial arts training
The pressure-sensitive material has been used to line the arms of a "fighting robot" designed for martial arts training, but can also be applied to make textile switches and affordable fencing jackets (more applications can be found on the Peratech website).
According to Lussey, this is just the beginning for QTC. He revealed that the composite can be formulated as a transparent material, which could open the door to pressure-sensitive touch screen uses.

• Nano4Sport took place at IOM3 in London and was sponsored by Materials and Design Exchange (MaDE) and UK Trade & Investment. The event was organised by the NanoKTN in partnership with the Creative Industries and Materials KTNs.

Four hundred miles up the Yukon River at Kaltag, Alaska, Dolly Solomon and Hazel Olsen work with their mother, Mary Lene Esmailda, to clean and split their salmon catch for drying. All five species of salmon run in the Yukon, although chum and chinook (king) salmon are the primary subsistence fish in this village. Approximately 6,000 chum and 1,100 chinook are harvested here in an average year.

Not new to bicycling, but I am new to forums. I just started riding again, after not for about 10 years, you know pretending to be too busy. Well I am back and hope to keep it up. Not alot of miles last year, but I did do 89 on my 50th Birthday!
I hope to get going again once the snow melts! I live in North Central Iowa on a nice paved county road with a couple of good hills; unfortunately it is now also the major road for grain, feed, and livestock trucks. I have great roads all around me where I can ride in solitude except for the occassional dog or three, but it takes 2 miles to get to where they are not busy. That is the problem! It is not always light out and the wife doesn't like me riding in the dark when there are all of those dangerous vehicles out there. I have bright lights and the traffic does notice you at night, but what about the day when they force you off of the road in broad daylight?
