Quick Takes
Oddball occurrences
"Quick Takes" Continued...
Surprised by Smith
She might not be the fastest draw in Pennsylvania, but 85-year-old Leda Smith proved she isn't a great-grandmother to be trifled with. A 17-year-old burglar broke into Smith's Lake Lynn home on Aug. 18. But the boy awoke Smith, who then grabbed for the .22-caliber revolver near her bedside. Only when the intruder heard the sound of the pistol cocking did he realize Smith had a bead on him. "I had the gun on him before he turned around and said, 'you've had it,'" Smith told a local TV station. According to a police report, Smith then told the young man to dial 911 from her white slimline living room phone and report himself. "Don't attempt to throw the phone at me, or do anything bad or I'll just shoot you," Smith told him. State troopers arrived to find the boy spread-eagle on her living room floor with the 85-year-old perched over him with the gun.
Bread alone
James Sham isn't raising money to combat AIDS or cancer. And though he's a resident at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture near Toronto, he's not collecting funds for the arts. Sham's project is a bit tastier. He's gathering cash for a muffin-in perpetuity. In all, Sham collected $9,000, enough for him to set up a foundation that will provide enough residual cash for one 70-cent muffin every day for a customer at Empire Grill, a local eatery. Sham's mission statement: "Provide a muffin a day in perpetuity-as in forever." According to Sham, the Empire Grill wait staff gets to award one muffin to any customer and the foundation will pick up the bill off of income from the $9,000 investment.
This wasn't the sort of pass out Texas country music singer Pat Green had anticipated. Yelling into a crowd gathered for a show at Michigan International Speedway, Green shouted into the audience, "Anyone got a beer?" Indeed, someone tossed one can of beer onto the stage. But another can quickly followed and hit Green squarely between the eyes. It knocked out Green.
Day tripper
By now, Silbestre Penaloza Menera should be a free man. Instead, he's a wanted man. With one day left in his five-day sentence for a misdemeanor driving under the influence charge, the 32-year-old man escaped from the Stanislaus County Men's Honor Farm in Modesto, Calif., by running through a gate and disappearing into a cornfield on Aug. 7. Two weeks later, authorities still had not apprehended Menera, who had just over 24 hours until his release from the work camp. If found, Menera could face up to one year in state prison.
Meet the Robinsons
If your name is James Robinson, you might find it difficult to board a commercial jet as a passenger these days. Even if you are James Robinson, a commercial airline pilot authorized to carry a handgun onboard planes and also a retired Brigadier General in the Air National Guard. That's because Robinson the retired general has found himself on an FBI no-fly list designed to prevent suspected terrorists from boarding commercial planes. "Shocking's a good word; frustrating," Robinson told CNN. "I'm carrying a weapon, flying a multimillion-dollar jet with passengers, but I'm still screened as, you know, on the terrorist watch list." But Robinson the pilot isn't the only James Robinson that has trouble: A former U.S. Attorney in Detroit who also served as an assistant attorney general in the Clinton administration finds himself on the FBI list, as does a California third-grader of the same name who has been designated by the FBI as a terrorism suspect since he was 5 years old. In a sad commentary on the effectiveness of the FBI's list, when the pilot and former general Robinson needs to fly commercial, he simply books himself as Jim Robinson or J.K. Robinson and encounters no difficulties.
Diamond in the rough
Two miracles for Tyler Jones: First, someone actually found the $3,000 diamond engagement ring he lost roadside in West Haven, Utah. Jones had left the black box containing the expensive ring on top of a vehicle just days before he planned on asking his girlfriend, Amanda Anderson, to marry him. Jones lost the box and ring as he drove away. But later, Monte Kirk spotted the box in the middle of the road while riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. "I opened the box and found a diamond ring inside," he said. "You don't find that every day." Knowing what losing such a valuable item might mean to him and his wife, Kirk decided to watch the local newspaper classifieds section for clues leading to the original owner. When Jones' classified ad hit the Standard-Examiner, Kirk called and arranged to return the engagement ring. Second miracle for Jones: Even after losing her ring, Anderson said yes when he proposed to her hours after getting the box back.
Ten will get you 400
For want of $10.12, Summit County, Ohio, sent two sheriff's deputies to Daniel Clark's Bradenton, Ohio, home to arrest him and his wife. The crime: The pair owed just over $10 on their income taxes. 'One of the deputies asked, 'Don't you guys check your mail?' But I still didn't have a clue why they wanted to arrest us,' Clark told the Akron Beacon Journal. 'Then they told me we didn't pay our city income taxes and there was a warrant out for our arrest.' When Clark checked with his wife, she confirmed that she had in fact ignored official notices sent by the city. By agreeing to show up in court that afternoon, the couple avoided walking away in cuffs, even if they will have to pay an extra $400 in court costs.
Cold wire
Here's an idea for would-be car thieves: Check to make sure the car actually has an engine in it before attempting to hot-wire it. Thieves in Marlborough, New Zealand, broke into a car parked just outside a local auto repair shop and began crossing wires to attempt to start the car's engine. But it's no surprise the station wagon wouldn't start: Its engine had been taken out of the rear of the vehicle and placed on the ground for repairs.

Identity theft, piracy and cyber crimes are going to be the next wave of frauds likely to hit India Inc, and companies are ill-equipped to deal with them, says KPMG's India Fraud Survey 2012, which was released on Monday. Calling these 'futuristic fraud', the survey says fraudsters will increasingly targeting organisational knowledge (such a data, codes etc) rather than physical assets to defraud companies.
Moreover, future fraudsters are likely to be helped by technological advance. Which puts the financial services and information and entertainmentsectors at the greatest risk, given theirhigh dependence on technology, large transactional data and confidential information in electronic form.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
If there is no court ordered custody, but both parents are listed on each of the children's birth certificates, then either parent has the right to custody, and there is nothing that one parent can do to prevent the other from assuming custody.
If there is a court order for custody, then the order controls.
For a family law attorney referral in your jurisdiction, see: http://www.abanet.org/legalservices/lris/directory/ and www.martindale.com.
I sense there is more going on here, so feel free to elaborate.
Hope this helps.
Custody issues are the most contentious. You can go in without a lawyer, but unless the other parent does the same, you probably will lose.

I have a rambaler that was built in 1975. I have a wall in the center of the house that runs north and south and my rafters run east and west. Is this a bearing wall. THANK YOU
- Forum >
- Home Design >
- load bearing walls
Based on what I've read, weight bearing walls typically run perpendicular to ceiling joists. Non bearing walls tend to run parallel to ceiling joists. However, whether you have rafters or trusses supporting your ceiling/roof will also have an effect on the answer to your question.
I have trusses supporting the ceiling/roof in my one-story home, and I am trying to confirm whether an interior wall that runs perpendicular to the trusses is a weight bearing wall or not.
Chances are that is the roof is rafters/clg. joists the wall is load bearing. A little investigation above the wall to see if the rafters end will give a definative answer. This can probably be done from the attic, moving the insulation.
Just wanted to open up my kitchen and living room a little more. I'll have to go in the attic i see. Thank you for the info.
You can probably remove the interior wall If your rafters are pre-fabricated roof trusses which normally only bear on the outside walls and require no interior support (common in modern construction). The only way to know is to get into the attic and inspect. If the roof framing is conventional stick built it may require further analysis. In the worst case you may need a truss beam to replace the wall being removed. They can span up to 20' These are basically laminated plywood beams supported on either end by posts that go down to the foundation or slab. Check the basement or crawl space to see if structural support is below. If built on slab there is no way to tell (for sure) if there is bearing below the wall to be removed.

The great philosophical quandaries of the ages…
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?
Is death the end of existence?
How can a cat with no mouth have a restaurant?
Let's answer that last one. Welcome to Hello Kitty Sweets, a Sanrio-approved (rare in Taiwan) Hello Kitty-themed restaurant. How did I end up here, you ask? Well, it was Valentine's Day and my wife loves Hello Kitty.
Need I say more?
Unfortunately, Hello Kitty Sweets is a very popular place and a reservation is highly encouraged. Being Valentines Day, lunch and dinner hours were booked so we settled for a 2pm tea time.
A warning to those like me who are sensitive to pink: wear protective sunscreen and a pair of Raybans. You'll need 'em. Not only is the restaurant decorated in "Hello Kitty pink", but the waitresses and food are themed to0. Yes, the food. Hello Kitty must have a thing for strawberries. Being tea time, our orders consisted entirely of desserts. I ordered the "Apple & Strawberry Pie", which turned out to actually be a cake. My wife ordered a chocolate cake. We ordered strawberry ice cream for the kids. The presentation was beautiful.
We also ordered a tea and latte. One thing I loved is that their coffee is supplied by Lavazaa, probably the best-tasting of the chain cafes. Both my wife's chocolate cake and my "pie" were very tasty, but nothing to write home about. The ice cream was of very high quality (i.e. made with actual cream) and didn't last long… .
Our tea time was topped off with a complimentary serving of jell-o. Bet you can't guess what flavor.
Take away the obnoxious amounts of pink and slightly overpriced desserts (the cakes were NT$340 each) and the experience was a good one.
Oh, one more plus and something I always look for when I go to a cafe or restaurant: They have FREE WiFi! That's very useful for tweeting from your iPod Touch about how the massive amounts of pink are making your eyes bleed…like I did.
Hello Kitty Sweets is at very near to Sogo. #90 Da-An Road section 1 Taipei
UPDATE: I returned recently and tried an actual meal there rather then just tea-time desserts. You can read my thoughts in this article.

Failing physics and flowering forbearance
Faith & Inspiration
"If you pass physics," my mother told me several weeks ago on the telephone, "of course we'll be happy." She spoke for herself and my father. I assented from where I sat in the bushes behind my dorm. "If you fail physics," she added, "we'll be creative."
I blessed her and counted myself the most cared-for person in the world.
Then last week I sat on the steps of the New York Public Library, gazing upon the rump of one of the stone lions, with tears running down my face. I could hardly have chosen a more private place for grieving. New York overflows with people committing strange acts. No one noted me crying over my "F."
Many good nouns begin with the letter "f": fortitude, fearlessness, and fervor-and to grow more particular and perhaps thereby more meaningful-F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The writer of the Jazz Age got expelled from school at 16, then advanced to Princeton, where he got bad grades but made a good showing in campus theatrics.
His story, along with those of other academic failures, served to a degree as anesthetic. In the aftermath of my sad revelation I went to the The Strand, a Manhattan store containing 18 miles of books. I bought a T-shirt of The Great Gatsby, with Daisy Buchanan's eyes blinking out of a blue background. Like me, she happened to be crying.
If anyone deserves to spell "physics" with an "F," I do. Sitting on the steps I wondered: Since I had so much time to avoid my homework, why did I not take opportunity to preorder some sackcloth in size 6?
My educators, among them the deep-hearted Dr. Gene Edward Veith, with his doctrine of neighbor-love through the vocation of schoolwork, conveyed a deep sense of academic responsibility to me. Good ethic, I hear (and believe), would have made up for my scientific deficiency.
"What have you been doing all afternoon?" my mother asked me during finals week.
"Writing," I said.
"How do you justify that?"
I can't. I hunt the Muse with a sword and pistol and hope that words will flood for me in a magic midnight. How little that seems to have to do with microfarads.
But negligence matters in the kingdom of heaven. It is right that heaven's rumblings-in the form of conscience-rattle downward to my kingdom of one. In believing this I resign my right to shirk obligation in favor of mad creative midnights.
In philosophy they call my conduct akrasia: acting against one's own moral judgment. In the Bible Paul stamps it with a cry: "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?"
In the face of all this moaning I continue to hope that from dirt, flowers spring.
My mother, who celebrates when somebody in the household breaks a dish (to remind us that life is about people, not dishes), forbears. She says, "I don't know what God is teaching you."

The Maldives is a democratic republic and has recently launched its local government system. It has two spheres of government: national and local. Local government is provided for in Chapter VIII of the constitution and the main legislative texts are the Decentralisation Act 2010 and the Local Council Election Act 2010. The Local Government Authority Department within the Ministry of Home Affairs has responsibility for local government, which has two tiers: island councils and city councils, all of which are accountable to an atoll council. There are 20 atoll councils, two city councils (Malé and Addu) and 66 island councils. The councils have the power to charge fees or rents for the services they provide and can seek loans as well as create financial instruments such as bonds, bills and securities to fund development activities. Every year the councils are allocated funds from the state reserves for office administration, provision of services and development projects, and revenue generated from state facilities within a council jurisdiction is allocated to that council. Atoll councils must establish and maintain a registration of islands and their lands, assist island councils in seeking technical and financial assistance; and administer and implement any projects in the atoll development plan that have not been assigned to a particular island council. City and island councils' responsibilities include providing roads, waste disposal, pest control, water, electricity and sewage systems; primary healthcare and pre-school education; and educational and vocational programmes for adults.

The Internal Revenue Service has announced a deadline to amend retirement plans for same-sex benefits to reflect the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor, according to Lori Oliphant of Winstead Attorneys.
In the landmark decision [PDF], the court held that the term "spouse" includes same-sex individuals who have been validly married, even when living in a state that doesn't recognize same-sex marriage, explains Oliphant. Prior to this, terms of the Internal Revenue Code were not applicable to same-sex spouses, including with respect to qualified retirement plans.
The IRS has published Notice 2014-19 [PDF] to provide guidance on how the decision will be applied. They say that qualified retirement plans recognize same-sex marriage as of June 26, 2013, if the state recognizes the marriage. However, as of Sept. 16, 2013, all qualified retirement plans must recognize same-sex spouses, even if the state does not, says Oliphant. Sponsors have until the later of either the tax return filing deadline or Dec. 31, 2014, to amend plan documents, or if they're governmental plans, until the close of the first regular legislative session.
In some cases, Oliphant says, amendments may not be necessary. For instance, if the plan refers generally to the term "spouse" as defined in the code, she says no amendment needs to be made.

USA Insider No.73 presented by Lucas Oil – Team USA MXoN Drama
4 years ago
Jason WeigandtWelcome to our weekly web-exclusive column, Transmoto USA Insider Presented By Lucas Oil. Penned each week by our man on the ground, Transmoto's US Correspondent, Jason Weigandt, USA Insider presents the story-behind-the-stories of the AMA supercross and motocross scene.Well, Team USA is going to the Motocross des Nations in Belgium to try to win for the eighth-straight time, but as usual, the team selection got a little nutty.The team features Ryan Dungey and Blake Baggett for the MX1 and MX2 classes. These are obvious choices since these boys are the points leaders in the 450 and 250 classes here. But the MX3 spot goes to Justin Barcia, who will be on a factory Honda 450 over there - even though he races the 250 class here. Mike Alessi is the one getting the shaft on this one, as he's the second-ranked 450 rider in the U.S. right now. But, Mike and his dad Tony are ranked first in bridges burned in the paddock, so the team, picked with considerable influence by Roger DeCoster and Mitch Payton, won't feature them. Mike's team, the MotoConcepts squad, is also a little off-center, with team owner Mike Genova not afraid to butt heads with the established way of doing business. Well, guys like DeCoster and Payton are the establishment, so that doesn't work in this scenario.At least the Alessi's are learning. Too many times, Mike and Tony have said too much and gotten themselves in trouble. It goes back to Mike's amateur days, for example, when he rode for Honda and seemed like a lock to graduate into GEICO Honda's 250 program. But the story is that Tony took the bike for a quick spin and determined it wasn't fast enough for them, and soon they found themselves riding as privateers!They then signed with KTM, and Mike was in the 250 MX title hunt all year. Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Ivan Tedesco had a points lead by the finale, though, so Mike tried to take him out to get the points back. Then he stood atop Tedesco's bike to prevent Tedesco from getting back into the race. I doubt Payton ever considered giving Mike a ride in anything since that.And of course Mike and Tony's days with DeCoster at Suzuki were quite checkered, although they did seem to get along pretty well in a KTM stint last year.This year, no such drama. When Mike was asked in the Southwick post-race press conference what he bought of the des Nations selections, he fired out a quick "No comment." Boom. Now we know Mike probably does't have anything good to say, but we also know he didn't say it, which is the right way to handle these things.Unfortunately, one summer of good PR can't erase so many years of negativity. On the outside, Barcia was picked for his own merits. He railed in a few 450 rides here last year, and is a great sand rider, which is key for this year's track at Lommel. But you have to wonder, if Alessi had a better rep, would anyone have even looked at Barcia in the first place?

A: Apply a mild spot treatment to the blemish twice daily. For a child of that age, look for a gel or lotion formula that's clear and unscented; won't be noticeable; or cause side effects to the surrounding skin. If the problem persists, see your dermatologist.
A: At that age, probably not. However, what is necessary is getting your child in the habit of applying sunblock daily to protect his or her skin from sun damage and skin cancer.
A: Taking a casual approach is a good way to start. Buy an appropriate cleanser for him and place it in his bathroom or shower. Or you can involve him in the process by going to the store together, so he can choose a cleanser he likes.

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Does your advice apply across the board or just in California?
Joanne,Thank you for your reply. As this question had been classified into the CA Employment category, I was answering on the basis of those laws. However, the laws in all other states are similarly protective of an employee's right to their earned wages (this protection is derivative of federal law, which applies to all U.S. states) and so the same principles and guidelines absolutely apply.Please let me know if I can provide any further clarification. It would be my sincere pleasure to do so if necessary.

APR 25, 2013 - Zero Hedge
A Must Read - Share
While not in the throes of a real estate crash, Italian banks are seeing a sharp deterioration in the quality of their assets. And while Italy's bond spreads head back to pre-crisis lows, as BofAML's Alberto Cordara notes, the ongoing pace and depth of asset quality deterioration further erodes the banks' ability to help Italy on the way back to growth. Critically, the lack of demand for banks' NPLs suggests that asset valuations may be overstated, thereby posing doubts on the real solvency status of Italian banks (i.e. they are not being totally truthful about their balance sheet assets);

Slum Village described the various musical influences that played a role in creating their sound, in an interview with Blurred Culture.
"We came up listening to N.W.A, at the same time, Tribe Called Quest, so when you hear our music it's soulful but it'll always have that street vibe to it," T3 says.
According to T3, Slum Village was influenced by non-Hip Hop music genres. He also mentions that Brazilian composer, producer, writer Sergio Mendes as a strong influence.
Not only was Slum Village impacted by other artists, they were also impacted by Detroit. The D helped because the group says they were often forced to stay indoors to work on their craft.
Ultimately, they say they have inspired one another, as well.
"Also, we got limited influences 'cause we just got us. So that's why we got our own unique sound."

Once again, some Indiana lawmakers want to phase out another tax on business — the business equipment tax.
Once again, some Indiana lawmakers want to phase out another tax on business — the business equipment tax. The governor said it would create jobs and make us more competitive with other states. We have all heard that before.
Over the last 10 years the Daniels and Pence administrations have shifted a tax burden balanced between businesses and homeowners to one tilted against wage earners and homeowners. They have cut corporate taxes, cut the inheritance tax, leased the Toll Road for 75 years and forced the state to observe daylight saving time. With their Republican super majority, they forced Indiana to become a right to work state, with Michigan following suit.
They ended the inventory tax in 2008. When this happened, homeowners' property taxes went up some 300 percent. This led to property tax caps. Then there is the never-ending parade of business applying for tax abatements. Much of this has financially devastated local governments, schools, libraries, etc.
It's time for this to end and it's time for business to pay its fair share. It's clear that many legislators are not being influenced by their constituencies, but by lobbyists such as the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
Working-class Hoosiers have had all they can take. This must end.

Douglas Kmiec Makes His 'Catholic Case' for Obama
Suzanne Sataline reports from Denver on the Democratic convention.
Douglas Kmiec knows what its like to be punished for one's beliefs.
The Pepperdine law professor, a Catholic and former adviser to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, says he was denied Communion in April after he wrote last winter that Sen. Barack Obama, who supports abortion rights, was the best choice for Catholics.
Kmiec has turned the experience, and his reasoning into a book aimed at his co-religionists: "Can a Catholic Support Him? Asking the Big Question about Barack Obama" The book, being handed out in galley form Thursday, is written to make the "Catholic case" to vote for the Democrat.
"There are a lot of people out there in the Catholic community that are preparing voter guides. They are not voter guides honest in their construction," Kmiec told a "faith caucus" at the Democratic convention Thursday, referring to the guide's focus on the abortion issue. "One needs a response to that. I hope this small book will help you articulate some of that."
Kmiec, who was raised in Chicago, says that the issue of abortion shouldn't be the only one that Catholics consider. One issue, he says, shouldn't override Catholic teachings concerning "unjust wars" and caring for the poor.
Kmiec noted that Catholics have sided with the winning presidential candidates in the last nine elections and he's hoping that they will consider the candidate's policies on health care and wages.

I have always felt the riders have camaraderie and self respect all along. Harsh words or actions are exchanged at the heat of the moment but at the end of the day (or season) when they look back they have great respect for each other. Just too bad that all the negativities are often sensationalised by the media, the fans being prey, the riders being victims and media the only winner in the situation. How many of us, haters or supporters of Stoner alike, actually knew or even take notice the exact words of Stoner to Rossi? At the end of the day the animosity is not between riders, but fans like ourselves.

Speedy page downloads are a requirement in mobile commerce.
When cruising the mobile web, there is nothing worse than a site that takes forever to load. You have to cut a little slack, since a wireless network simply can't be as fast as a landline. But still, a site has to have extraordinarily compelling content to keep me waiting. And studies have shown I'm not alone: Consumers expect mobile web sites to load about as fast as regular web sites.
Last week Internet Retailer and mobile and web performance management firm Keynote Systems Inc. debuted the Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index, a weekly look into the realm of m-commerce site performance. We selected 16 representative m-commerce sites. They come from various product categories. Some are web-only, some are multichannel. This index, exclusive to Internet Retailer, offers a good look at just how solid a retailer needs to be when it comes to site performance.
This week, QVC again topped the list, with a score of 953 out of 1,000. Keynote creates the score by equally weighing then combining a retailer's mobile home page load time with the rate of success for loading that page. It tests the sites all week, throughout the day. QVC's download time was 1.95 seconds and its success rate was 98.6%.
The lesson here is keeping things light. If you go to the QVC mobile site, you will see that it has pared down its offerings to include only a few links to featured products and very little imagery. Other retailers may find they require more imagery and more content for the home page, but that has to be balanced with speed.
The index average score was 730, with an average load time of 5.29 seconds and a success rate of 98.17%. There clearly is room for improvement, especially with that success rate, which I believe should be well over 99%. But I must say that in my experience with the mobile web, not just m-commerce sites but all sites, a 5.29-second load time is not bad. It's not great, but it's passable. Most retailers won't want to go the QVC route and pare down to that degree, so I would say that for now, striving toward 3 seconds would be a good goal.
But we'll see as time goes on and the mobile web continues to evolve—and as 4G networks speed things along even faster. And Keynote will continue to provide expert commentary every week as it presents this key look into performance.

CSC: Teleservices expand patient engagement on many platforms
A new whitepaper published this month by Falls Church, Va.-based consulting firm CSC outlines the new scope of teleservices in healthcare by supplying definitions for what its authors call the four main areas of teleservice: telecare, telehealth, telecoaching and telemedicine.
The report defines telecare as the use of remote monitoring and assisted living technologies; telehealth as the use of health tracking tools; telecoaching as tools designed to facilitate self-management and patient education; and telemedicine as the delivery of real-time consultations with a clinician.
"The new generation of teleservices, however, does not merely overcome geographic barriers; it also break down barriers in data capture, workflow and communication, and enables patients to become closer partners in their own care," the report's authors say.
An infographic within the report highlights how all participants in teleservices--payers, physicians, employers, allied health workers, peers/friends, family caregivers, social workers, home health workers and pharmacists--are stakeholders in patient care, using technology. The report uses as an example a 25-year old who is connected to his physician, enrolled in a health initiative at work and has one fitness-related mobile app downloaded on his phone.
The report contends that organizations that may have been waiting for these services to mature "can now move ahead" with confidence that their teleservices can be effective.
"As with many technologies that offer a breadth of direct and indirect benefits, quantifying a precise return on investment can be challenging," the authors say. "Experts agree that the best approach to evaluating an initiative is one that takes into consideration not just clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, but also factors such as service utilization, patient satisfaction and patient-reported outcomes."
With states continuing to pass laws requiring private insurers to pay for such services, telehealth appears to be on track for a mainstream breakthrough. Still, barriers to telehealth success remain, including state licensure and prescribing laws, a lack of highly developed protocols and guidelines and privacy and security issues, according to René Y. Quashie, senior counsel in the healthcare and life sciences practice at law firm Epstein Becker Green.

Ukraine Receives EUR 70 mln from EBRD for Chornobyl
Kyiv, July 28, 2011. The financial supervisor of the Chornobyl Shelter Fund and Nuclear Safety Account – the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development becomes the largest contributor to the Chornobyl Shelter Implementation Plan funds. The decision to issue another EUR 70 mln for the Chornobyl projects has been made at the recent meeting of the bank's Board of Governors.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has already contributed EUR 120 mln for the Chornobyl projects during a fundraiser dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Chornobyl tragedy, held on April 26, 2011. With this most recent contribution of EUR 70 mln the bank becomes the largest donor for the cause.
The needed amount of financial resources for the Shelter Implementation Plan (SIP) funding is EUR 740 mln. According to the official statement released by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, at the moment the Chornobyl projects are fully funded as a result of the contributions by the EBRD, the governments of France, Russia, the EU, and the USA.
The decision to provide the necessary financial resources for the implementation of the Chornobyl projects was made at the Assembly of Contributors to the Chornobyl Shelter Fund (CSF) meeting on July 7, 2011, in London. This allows for the immediate start of the SIP execution and its completion by 2015. The new construction will help neutralize any possible future threats to the environment from the Chornobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine.
The EBRD is entrusted to manage the Chornobyl Shelter Fund following the November 1997 Framework Agreement with the Ukrainian government that concerned the execution of the SIP Grant Agreements. The CSF was established in December of 1997 to collect funds for the Chornobyl New Safe Confinement project. The agenda of the Fund is to assist Ukraine in transforming the existing shelter over Chernobyl's destroyed 4th reactor to a stable and environmentally safe state. The Nuclear Safety Account is a multilateral fund set up at the EBRD in 1993 to finance nuclear safety projects in Central and Eastern Europe.

Hole Inside Eyepiece Holder of Mark V
Posted 06 April 2013 - 05:01 PM
I have been using my Mark V Binoviewer with my Lunt solar scope. I noticed a glint when using my Leica ASPH Zooms. It is in the right eyepiece only. I looked inside the eyepiece holder with the eyepiece removed and there is a hole on the upper left. This is letting in light. The 1.25" adapter to my Leica is very short and so light is getting inside the lens and reflecting. I'm not sure why that hole is there and I am wondering if someone else could check to see if you have a hole inside the eyepiece holder on the right side only. There is no hole on the left side. Thanks! Kent

I also am thinking about stuffing something in the hole. I have a Baader Vip Modular Barlow and it has the 1.25" adapter that I linked to above. It is long enough but since I can see through the top easily, I can see light still gets in. It is less light but I wonder if this will solve the problem.

With the help of Rex I found a 1.25 extension at Scopestuff. I measured and it will probably be only about 1mm too long and that should work so I ordered it.
Hi Kent,
I looked at what was available at Scopestuff. I decided to check AgenaAstro as well and found 1.25" extensions in these lengths: 1", .75", .5" and .25" and all are in stock. Page showing all of them is here.

BTW did you ever get your 2.6 GPC to work in the proper orientation in your Herschel Wedge? You may recall this thread.
Thanks again.

BTW did you ever get your 2.6 GPC to work in the proper orientation in your Herschel Wedge? You may recall http://www.cloudynig...5230304/Main....
Hi Kent,
Yes, I did get it figured out, but wasn't totally happy with the whole way of doing it. Let me explain... As we all know, the 2.6GPC must not be screwed into the MarkV as the 1.25 & 1.7 GPCs are, but, rather, turned around and screwed into the top of the diagonal followed by the quick-change adapter. This won't work for the Herschel Wedge since it doesn't have sufficient clearance due to the position of the ND3 & Solar Continuum filter. I continue to consider disassembling the 2.6 GPC and reversing the lenses so that it would have the same orientation as the 1.25 & 1.7 GPCs as was shown in this thread. Here's why I haven't done this yet - it seems like such a simple thing to do, so why didn't Roland Christen design it that way? One has to wonder. Perhaps the spacing of the lens elements require it to be that increased distance from the prisms. Who knows!? I plan to ask when I see him at NEAF in two weeks. So, where was I? Oh yeah. Trying to fit the 2.6 GPC in the correct/approved orientation with the MarkV & Herschel Wedge given the space restrictions. I called George at Astro-Physics and he said to acquire this SCT Gender Changer from AgenaAstro. Using that new part plus the original SCT male threaded adapter that came with the Herschel Wedge winds up giving the additional 7mm space required to keep the 2.6GPC from hitting the filters. You then need to screw on this part (which I already had), drop the 2.6GPC nose-down into this part and screw on the quick-change female adapter. I discovered right away that you had to place a tight-fitting spacer that comes with the GPCs to use when placing the GPCs in the nose of the diagonal. As you'll recall, the GPCs don't screw into the nose, but rather are placed into the diagonal and held in place by the nose - but require the spacer to keep the GPC centered in the front of the diagonal. Why am I not totally happy with this arrangement? I would much prefer that Baader had provided a screw-in arrangement so that the 2.6GPC could be securely attached without messing with that plastic/fiber spacer to keep it centered. Yeah, I know - I'm picky - but this arrangement just seems a little Micky Mouse given the high quality and versatility of the rest of the gear. OK, let the questions begin...

Thanks for explaining this, Dave. At least you got it working. The other alternative would be to use shorter focal length EPs in the bino with the 1.7 GPC which also is not recommended but some do it successfully I have heard. I have the same problem with installing the 2.6 GPC in my Lunt LS100 solar refractor. You can't put it in the Lunt diagonal so I have been using it positioned in the same way as the 1.7. I haven't done a critical analysis and I am not that experienced but it worked for high magnification views of prominences. You mention the thread with the disassembled 2.6. Coincidence that I just bought that reversed 2.6 GPC from George. Just this morning! So I wonder the same thing about why they made it that way and if it will be as good but I am going to try it and compare with the one I have. Maybe they made it for the Maxbright. Don't the GPCs work differently in those binos. Not sure. I seem to remember reading that they do and I also thought I remember reading that Baader was considering making a different version of the 2.6. I am not sure in what way. Anyway, all very interesting. Thanks for your explanation.
The GPCs in the Maxbright binoviewers ALL fit the wrong way for us with the MarkVs (see ad here). Apparently, the 1.25 & 1.7 GPCs are assembled with a reversed-lens arrangement for the Maxbrights compared to those for use with our MarkVs. If that's the case, then why, oh why, is the 2.6 assembled the way it is? I really want this question answered!! Is it something that Baader does just to be ornery? or is there a spacing issue as I mentioned before? I sure hope to find out from Roland in 13 days. Congrats on getting that 2.6 from George. I was thinking of contacting him to see if he'd perform the reversal service for me. I'm anxious to hear your opinion of the views. The reason I was so anxious to get the 2.6 GPC to work with the Herschel Wedge was because I often grab an 80mm Apo for a quick solar fix. This scope won't reach focus with the Herschel + MkVs without the 2.6 GPC. The 102mm and 140mm Apos I use normally can be used with no GPC at all, or any of the three, so that's not normally a problem - only with the 80mm for quick views.

That will be very interesting. I hope he has an explanation.

Despite taking an early lead, Barça Alusport have crashed out of the Spanish Futsal Supercup at the semi final stage to ElPozo, in a repeat of last season's league final
ElPozo Múrcia: Rafa, Bebe, Kike, Miguelín i Paulinho –starting five-, José Ruiz, De Bail, Adri and Álex.
FCB Alusport: Cristian, Ari, Sergio Lozano, Saad, Fernandao – starting five -, Sedano, Aicardo, Torras, Lin and Wilde.
Goals 0-1 Lozano (min 3), 1-1 Álex (min 24), 2-1 Paulinho (min 22), 3-1 (min 28), 3-2 Fernandao (min 38), 4-2 Miguelín (min 38), 5-2 José Ruiz (min 39)
Barça Alusport will not be in the final. El Pozo of Murcia gained revenge for their defeat in the last league final by putting the Catalans out of the Spanish Supercup, and that was despite things starting well for FCB, who started the game with the best football and the first goal. But an equaliser just before half changed the course of the match, and in the second half Murcia took their chances when they most mattered and are on their way to the final.
Lozano imposes his law
Barça Alusport were ahead after just three minutes thanks to Lozano from a set piece. El Pozo struggled to find any reply against a Barça side that was dictating the pace of the play, and Lozano could have made it two in the 12th minute, but not only did he miss but he also hurt his hand in the process. Shortly after, goalkeeper Rafa produced a wonderful save to deny Wilde.
El Pozo's unexpected equaliser
ElPozo were doing very little to worry Barça Alusport, with their only serious chance in the first half coming from a De Bail effort that skimmed the post in the 15th minute. Barça's defence was in complete control, playing with exactly the right amount of aggression until disaster struck just 43 seconds before the break when Àlex robbed Lin of all the ball and found the target. Totally against the run of play. 1-1.
Change of direction
The equaliser seemed to breathe new life and urgency into Barça, but although they took the initiative early in the second half, ElPozo then scored again after Paulinho pounced on a rebound. Barça now needed to take risks to find a goal, and the play opened up – causing dangerous spaces to emerge at the back, which helped Álex get yet another Pozo goal on the counter attack in the 28th minute. 3-1.
Final punishment
The two keepers had plenty to do in the final minutes. Barça Alusport could find no way past Rafa, while Cristian made sure the definitive fourth goal didn't come. Marc Carmona threw caution to the win with a rush goalie from the 35th minute, and that did produce a goal from Fernandao, but immediately after Miguelín scored at the other end. Barça played desperate football in the final minutes, but there was still time for ElPozo to find a fifth and put things beyond reach of an FC Barcelona comeback.

text: The Darcy pattern shown here is a classic "medallion" or "frame" pattern. Typically this pattern is woven in the fabric and is known as a damask or Jacquard . It is very difficult to get the crisp contrast of intense color on a white background with a woven fabric due to the cross color threads inherent in the weaving process. We liked the pattern so much that we converted it to a printed pattern. By printing this pattern on white taffeta, we get a very clean crisp look that would not be possible if the pattern were woven. We printed this pattern in three colors: black on white, apple green on white and garnet red on white. Each color way is striking and makes a fabulous tablecloth statement. When washing, drying and ironing printed patterns it is important not to exceed the heat setting originally used to set the print on the fabric. Although the manufactured heat setting is quite high it is possible to exceed that temperature with an iron. What happens? You can actually unset the ink on the fabric causing the ink to smear. Although difficult to do to professionally printed fabric it is much easier to smear the ink on T-shirts that have been printed. It is impossible to fix this smear as when the ink cools it sets again. Please don't set you iron on high for printed ink items. And of course the other reason not to use an iron that is too hot is that it will just burn your fabric! All good reasons not to iron your cloths. I'm just saying!!!

Ever since colorful hair made its mark in the beauty and fashion world, you can definitely expect brightly-colored locks and creative hairstyles as a key accessory at Coachella this year.
PRAVANA, a professional hair care brand and leader in hair color, teamed up with celebrity stylist Danny Moon and hairstylist Kait Marie to create a beautiful, festive hair color inspired by mood rings. Below, fashion blogger Francis Lola models three festival-appropriate styles. With the simple use of twists, braids and hair accessories, these 'dos are practical and can be easily worn and transitioned from day one to day three.
Would you wear these mood ring-inspired styles? What inspires your festival style?

Barbara Biggins, CEO of the children's advocacy group the Australian Council on Children and the Media, is ratcheting up the rhetoric against gamers in the fight to keep Australia from getting an adult ratings classification. She has accused Australian gamers of "using propaganda" in the very public debate over changing the ratings system.
In an article that appeared on The Drum Unleashed, Biggins alleges that the rhetoric used by those that want an expanded ratings system has changed recently, and now downplays the negative side effects:
"Over the past year … the pro-R18+ lobby has argued that having such a category would provide better protection for children," she wrote. "The push became propaganda."
Her argument is that allowing games into the country that have adult content in them won't keep them out of the hands of children, who will find a way to get them.
"Using the classification criteria for films, R18+ games would have no restrictions on themes … Given that it's practically impossible for even the most conscientious of parents to keep their children away from exposure to portable R18+ items like DVDs and games, how can it be possibly claimed that this would be better for children?"
She went on to say that everyone should wait for the Australian Law Reform Commission to review the entire rating system later this year.
"[G]amers may rant and rave (and they do if anyone dares oppose them)," she said. "But let's take the ALRC opportunity to review the options properly, not respond to propaganda."
This is a pretty common argument among children's advocacy groups but the problem is that it's really censorship in the name of protecting children. To keep Mature rated games out of the hands of children, Biggins and people like her would make it unavailable for everyone – including the adults the content is meant for. Censorship is not a fair compromise.

Those who respond to Walmart opening two stores in Bellevue with cries of "there goes the neighborhood" should be fair.
THOSE opposing Walmart opening two stores in Bellevue ought to shift into building a relationship with the giant discount chain.
The retailer, synonymous with low-priced goods, is making a business decision, one that deserves credit for the potential to breathe fresh life into the darkened storefront at Kelsey Creek Center.
City officials had struggled for a decade to fill the space. Announcement of the chain's arrival quickly attracted other tenants and the building filled up within a month, according to Brian Franklin, executive vice president at PMF Investments, Walmart's landlord at Kelsey Creek.
Walmart brings out strong emotions in people, largely because, as the country's largest grocer, it can have a tremendous effect on retail markets. But critics should square concerns about the chain's impact on local businesses and communities with its evolution as a more responsive company.

In the past, Walmart set up big-box stores that pushed out smaller retail outlets. At Kelsey Creek, Walmart's Neighborhood Market will support local products, such as wines from Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville and gluten-free breads from Zen Bakery. The Factoria store will be much smaller than the average Walmart.
Some don't like the fact that Walmart's employees are not unionized. Some of the chain's competitors, such as Costco, offer better pay and benefits. But Walmart pays an average hourly wage of $12.93 for full-time employees, well above Washington state's minimum wage.
Another criticism needs updated information. Walmart's pay used to be so low that many of its workers have qualified for publicly funded health insurance. But the company improved employee health-care benefits. Amid the recession, Walmart has rolled back some coverage for part-time workers and raised premiums for some full-time staff. Many companies have made similar cost adjustments.
Walmart will not win over everyone. But the retailer's arrival in Bellevue is a key part of revitalizing shopping centers beyond the tony corridors of Bellevue Square, Lincoln Square and The Shops at The Bravern.

Brit director Sally Potter hit the film world with a major splash at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival with "Orlando," starring the incomparable Tilda Swinton. Since then, Potter's films have been impeccably crafted gems with limited appeal, from "The Tango Lesson," starring Potter herself, to "Yes," which she wrote in iambic pentameter. With "Ginger and Rosa," written after her mother's death in 2010, Potter consciously tried to craft her most emotionally accessible film to date.
And yet this 1962 London Bohemian family drama focused on two teen girls (Elle Fanning and Alice Englert, daughter of Jane Campion) coming of age under the threat of nuclear disaster seems destined, with its Thelonious Monk score, to appeal to older art house audiences. Alessandro Nivola and Christina Hendricks play one set of less-than-perfect London parents. Given my own history with narcissistic neglectful intellectual parents, I was a sucker for this material (as well as another similarly-themed Toronto fest entry, "What Maisie Knew"). (Our TOH! review of "Ginger & Rosa" is here.)
"It's an homage to a lost generation who struggled to the best of their ability," Potter said at the Telluride Film Festival Q &A. "I remember well what it felt like to fear that the world might come to an end. And we are now facing apocalyptic global events. As I was telling this story it became clear that we are not only in the world, it is in us. "
I sat down with Potter at Telluride, where she was starting the search for a distributor. (A24 picked up the film and will open it in NY and LA on March 15, followed by 25 top markets on March 22.)
Anne Thompson: Is this the same period and setting in which you grew up? Are these girls slightly older versions of you?
Sally Potter: Not at the same age, no. I was born in 1949, so in 1962 I was just 13. In the story if they're born in 1945, they're kind of 17. They're not even me, really.
AT: I wondered how personal this story is to you? How much does it come from your experience?
SP: Isak Dinesen used to say "exactly 17-and-a-half percent." But no, that's not actually my answer, that's hers. If you want to make a story about intimacy and the very smallest things and the very biggest things that could happen in a person's life, it has to have a quality that's personal. It has to feel completely authentic and real. And in crafting that you're working with the laws of fiction. Otherwise I'd be making a documentary and using home movie footage. I scavenged in my own life, in my friends' lives, but above all I scavenged in my imagination and created a "what if" situation.
AT: What is your writing method?
SP: My writing method is to sit in a very small hut, in France actually, in this instance.
AT: Alone?
SP: Absolutely alone. I write in total solitude. And I write on paper, on hand, and then it gets typed. Normal for me.
AT: And how long does it take?
SP: Well the real work isn't necessarily the work when you're putting it on the page, it's the mental activity. It can go for years. The actual physical writing of this to a first draft goes relatively fast for me, but that's just a first draft. And as you well know, scripts are re-written, not written, and so and finally in the cutting room. So it's taken me therefore two-and-a-half years.
AT: So have you been able to talk to people since they saw the film? Have you had much interaction with people who saw it?
SP: I had a lot of individuals come up to me last night, many of them crying, after the film.
AT: I was one.
SP: So it does seem to have struck a chord, and people came up to me and said it was their story. And I thought, "interesting." Because, unlikely to be exactly their story, the storyline, but maybe the issues of power, family relationships, the disintegrated family relationship, politics maybe, friendship and betrayal, love at any cost, and the relationship between ideas and freedom, and kindness and unkindness, all those things could perhaps lead people to feel that it was their story. What do you think?
AT: What you call the lost generation is many parents who were unconscious of the impact of their actions on their kids. My father was a lot like your guy: charming, he did whatever he pleased. He was reacting to his own parents.
SP: Exactly. So it was a generational thing.
AT: To the extraordinary authority and discipline, everything that that generation went through.
SP: And they'd been through the war. It was life at any cost. It was people, men feeling that they could breathe and take whatever was on offer without consequences, and then the lost generation where it was the women who suffered. The mothers.
AT: Did your mother give up career options?
SP: Yes, she did. She did. And she took her work up again later, but I think it was extraordinarily difficult for women of my mother's generation to balance work, ambitions, and being a mother, and to even have a feeling of entitlement. Even in radical idealistic households, the women took 100% of the domestic labor on. It was a very difficult generation, and many of the daughters of that generation wrongly blamed their mothers. And it's much later that you realize what those mothers were doing. And what they suffered, actually.

Washington State coach Ken Bone, a former Washington assistant, faces the Huskies and his old boss, Lorenzo Romar, Saturday afternoon at Edmundson Pavilion.
Washington assistant coach Homecoming week continues Saturday afternoon.
First Cameron Dollar returned to Montlake and the Huskies handed the new Seattle University coach a 47-point defeat Tuesday.
Now Ken Bone, the first-year Washington State coach, comes back to town with his second team since leaving UW five years ago.
Romar chuckled when asked if he plans to be as hospitable to Bone as he was to Dollar.

"The plan is for us to play to our potential," he said. "And then whatever happens after that will take care of itself."
The Huskies also welcome back Isaiah Thomas, who missed the first game of his college career. The Huskies' second-leading scorer suffered a stomach illness, which forced him to watch the Redhawks game from home.
"I usually don't sit out of games," he said. "It was tough. That's why I didn't come back to the arena because if I did, I'd want to play. They played their (tails) off and it gave some guys some more confidence to do better."
Thomas said he hasn't eaten in the past three days and was a little winded in Thursday's practice. Still, he expects to be close to 100 percent against Washington State.
"We played hard (and) played unselfish," he said of the victory over Seattle U. "That's the difference. … If we do that, we can win some games."
Without playing a game Thursday, the Huskies (13-7, 3-5 Pac-10) fell into a last-place tie with Oregon State and Oregon. Romar said if the Huskies lose one or two more games, their only chance of playing in the NCAA tournament would be winning the Pac-10 tournament.
Senior captain Quincy Pondexter said the Huskies need to win the remainder of their games at Edmundson Pavilion, where they are 13-1 this season.
"It's 9-1-1 and we really have to turn it on," he said. "With the season winding and getting closer to February, it's time where teams need to start clicking to get in the NCAA tournament.
"We have to string (together) some wins and we have to just play smart basketball together and hopefully everything clicks and we're in the NCAA tournament."
Bone noted earlier this week the Huskies are a different team at home than they are on the road.
"They're a team as good as anybody in the conference and maybe even the country at playing on their home court," he said. "They are absolutely relentless. At home those kids are a little bit different than they are on the road, so we're preparing for the UW at home. … They're able to play much more physical at home, and on the road I don't think they get away with the physicality."
Washington State (14-6, 4-4) has been impressive, notably winning at Arizona and USC. The Huskies dropped lopsided games to the Wildcats and Trojans.
Bone scrapped the Cougars' old offense and installed an up-tempo attack led by sophomore guard Klay Thompson, who is sixth in the nation in scoring at 22.3 points a game, and freshman guard Reggie Moore, the former Rainier Beach High School star.
"Both teams know each other very well," said Moore, who averages 14.4 points and 4.6 assists. "There's not a lot of secrets in this game."
Romar takes great pride his former assistants have become head coaches, but admits it's difficult to coach against friends.
"When we were on staff, coach Bone and I, coach Dollar and I, there weren't very many secrets," Romar said. "Now it's the business side of it and we just don't share much information. You keep that to yourself. But in terms of your friendship, that doesn't change."
