Took about 6 weeks for me to hear back from OPR yesterday after my last meeting with the BI. Said they would be conducting my final adjudication soon. Keep the faith bro! I'm ready for this to finish up as well.
No announcement yet.

OPR called. Had an issue on section 22.1. I failed to disclose some speeding tickets. So was given an advisory letter explaining my BI was found favorable but had to ensure that does not occur anymore.
DP23 as the BI told me the number doesn't necessarily matter. I checked no in regards due to tickets because of the $300 on the SF-86 but I still got flagged. It was a minor pain in the *** but it's over with now.
DP23 you should be fine ......... I had a few plus the one I was flagged on was exactly 7 years out. Basically forgot one and I was popped.
Signed up on here because I've been in the pipeline for 11 months and was hoping someone can give me some answers/intel. I received my BPA conditional offer as a veteran for the GL-9 in March after applying to the FEB2018 listing. I've completed the structured interview, E-quip, and have been waiting on medical. In June they asked for more from my pile of military medical history and I submitted it in mid July, waited until the end of October until I heard back from them asking for more documents. Submitted them on October 30th and haven't heard anything since despite several inquiries. Still stuck at 38%. Does anyone have any idea what this means, or how much longer I need to wait on this stuff, or if I should scrap it and shift gears to secondary and tertiary plans? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
12-06-2018, 05:55 PMEditing a commentYou're used to "hurry up and wait" since your prior service but CBP takes it to another level. I believe there's a direct line to a nurse at medical. You'll have to ask around or do a bit of research to get it.
I passed the structured interview back in the first week of September... The investigator told me "be ready, it will move fast from here" and I said "Ok, great! I'll be ready and waiting!"
And that is the last Ive heard from the border patrol... which is almost exactly 3 months ago on the dot.
Gotcha. Hurry up and wait more. But without the hurry. Thanks for the help guys. I can't imagine that this method of hiring will procure the cream of the crop or that your average applicant will want to stick around through this when other fed/state jobs are quicker to pick up.
12-07-2018, 09:34 PMEditing a commentI mean most BP applicants don't have three letter agencies fighting over them. My class had 3 prior LEOs, 2/3 didn't have a degree, and most (including myself) were blue collar, <$15 hour wage workers. So yeah. And it isn't new. My current 1811 gig was 2.5 years and it is a big agency that hires relatively frequently, so it's not like it took that long due to it being some elite position with a lot of steps. That's not an insult, BP still runs in my blood. But I think you need to manage your federal hirng process expectations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
12-07-2018, 10:18 PMEditing a commentNo, there is a lot of hurry, as soon as they contact you via e-mail/call you have a short period to respond or you'll lose your spot. For example, the polygraph. If you don't e-mail your polygrapher ASAP after offering you select dates to take the exam, you will lose your spot in the queue and have to wait for the next batch. There is a hurry portion but you'll be waiting a lot more. Just the way the feds work.
Yea, I wish they would figure out a way to streamline the process... I applied in June... passed everything so far with ease... Literally havent heard a word since the first week of September... And what blows my mind is that I get NON STOP advertising from BP on Facebook and Instagram asking me to apply... So they are spending mad money on recruiting... such a waste of my tax money/their budget.
I'd happily start BPA training tomorrow if they'd let me... I'm in excellent shape, clean background, smart, educated, combat/war experience, current TS/SCI clearance...
It does seem like a great career.. probably better than than the Washington LEO jobs.
I got the call today! Or 2 calls whichever you wanna call it! Received offers from both CBPO as well as BP. I'm ecstatic as I have options, but am open to hearing opinions on which direction I should go! I'm excited but want to make sure I make the right call I guess you could say. Love to hear from everyone in regards to this. Thanks!
My timeline is:
12/7/17 Exam (BP)
12/11/17 Exam (OFO)
Medical Exam 1/10/18
Physical Fitness Test 1/18/18
Poly 6/12/18
Poly NOR 6/26/18
BI Cleared 11/5/18
Drug Test 12/5/18
TSU Email 12/5/18
The Call 12/7/18
Felt like such a long road. Completed everything exactly one year to the day. I had one thing kicked back to me and it was a medical. Other than that I can count my blessings and say it was smooth.

Which isn't even your fault because on your seventh hour of the shift that happened on, your supervisor told you that you were going to have to work another shift, another eight making for an unplanned 16 hour shift, so you were tired and upset you were going to miss your cousins birthday barbeque. Which happened at the same time as the next lane over someone illegally entered the country by running through the port and your partner couldn't chase them because it is against customs policy.

Ack all and good to know micdrop451, was considering only checking every so often. Thanks for the guidance.
And OrdiOrdi, I KNOW! That is what is maddening. "Join the most elite Homeland Security Position out There!...We'll use all 2 of our applicant managers to sort through all of the applicants and get you the job you deserve!"
12-08-2018, 06:35 PMEditing a commentYou two keep going on and on about complaining about the hiring process time when one of y'all had been in it since June, barely six months (if even). There was a time when BP hiring in the last few years was 2+ years when I came in until EAC Linda Jacksta and her team came in and seriously revamped and go time down to under a year for an applicant without any issues. If you think this is a long wait, you're going to have a bad time in the Patrol and federal government as a whole where things that revolve around seniority (read: almost all of it) are measured in half decades and decades. I'd say the BP hiring timeline is one of the best in the fed government right now for an off the street hire.
I'm sure y'all are just anxious, but surely sounds a lot more like complaining than impatience with the sudden expertise in advertising and recruiting and what the hiring time frame should be. Don't mind me though I'm just being a grouch. The wait is worth it. Greatest job in the federal government.
12-10-2018, 08:31 PMEditing a commentbattlewagon this is MILD compared to OFO's forum. The applicants there are constantly complaining about how medical is taking 6 months due to a red flag from a visit to a shrink. I'm not going to lie, it sucks being in the BI portion since July but that's my fault due to my "complex" background. Can't blame anyone except me and standby for Uncle Sam to flip the switch.
Thanks for the heads up battlewagon, I had no idea that it used to be a 2 year process. Sure glad that's not what I'm looking at now.
You have to think too... there may not be THAT many people working in CBP HR to process apps... it could be 1 or 2 peopleFormer Police Officer (Injured LOD)

i might have finally passed the poly, i've done about 3 polygraphs for this agency and 2 for other agencies and this is the first time there wasn't a post test interrogation in fact he said i should be good. I know i'm taking it with a bucket of salt but i'm still feeling pretty good about itofficially sworn into the Us Marine Corps, going in with an 03 contract leave for bootcamp on January 9th
Not sure if I asked this already but if I applied out of San Diego what are the odds of receiving a San Diego duty station?
12-11-2018, 07:30 PMEditing a commentWhere you apply out of is irrelevant. To the opposite, like said above, you can be assured you won't get a station within 100 miles of your home address

In my experience Poly is next and then the background investigation. Drug test is the last thing. I am just waiting for the drug test and a job offer. The background does take a while. So you will most likely be waiting a couple months more.
Lay_Tactical commented12-10-2018, 03:54 PMEditing a commentI should be meeting with background investigator soon.
12-10-2018, 08:33 PMEditing a commentIf you haven't passed your poly and don't have an active TS clearance, no you will not be meeting with a BI soon. That is one of the final steps in the process AFTER you pass your poly.

I have a question regarding the modifier 78. We had a patient that had to returned to the OR unplanned. I know the 78 modifier states that the global period does not start over. This occurred towards the end of the patients global period. The patient came into the office (now out of the global period) and we billed an OV. Insurance is denying stating the patient is still in global due to the 2nd surgery and that the 78 modifier just shows that it was unplanned return. Any guidance would be helpful.

It's one of those stereotypes we didn't want to believe, that men are turned off by intelligent women. But a new study that looked at volunteers on speed dates suggests that the stereotype may actually have some truth to it.
We need to have a sit down with all men. Can we arrange that? Because this just doesn't make sense.
The study published in the journal of Personality and Individual Differences surveyed 560 Columbia University students and a total of 4,000 speed dates. Each couple was given four minutes to get to know their partner, and then asked to log their thoughts—and make a rating on attractiveness and intelligence—for each of the potential mates.
The results? Kind of depressing, actually.
According to the findings, men are less attracted to smart women unless they are also incredibly good looking. So semi-attractive women who ranked high on the smarts chart were less attractive in the men's eyes. In other words, smart is fine up to a point, then she's too smart and has to make up for that fact by being increasingly good looking.
What the heck is going on, dudes!?
Us ladies, on the other hand, were struck by guys who were either attractive and/or smart. Nope, you don't have to be some super Chris-Hemsworth-meets-Bill-Nye-the-Science-Guy hybrid to win over our hearts.
The study seems to suggest that cleverness is inversely related to attractiveness, from a man's perspective at least.
Now, generalized statements like this one above certainly don't mean that EVERY guy in the world finds intelligence unattractive. We know plenty of dudes who find smart sexy. So we're a bit skeptical of the findings… or maybe it's just disappointment. Or a maybe a mix of both.
Either way, we're never going to dumb ourselves down. Nope, not happening.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Brokerage stocks led overall gains Friday in the financial sector amid upgrades of Charles Schwab, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs and overall market strength.
U.S. stocks rose as optimism that the market is recovering helped investors brush aside mixed signals on inflation stemming from personal income and spending reports.
The Amex Securities Broker/Dealer Index $XBD rallied 2.1%. The Philadelphia Bank Index $BKX advanced 0.4%, as did the S&P Insurance Index IUX.
Schwab SCHW, -2.62% gained 2.4% after an upgrade to buy at Bank of America. Analysts cited its evolution away from stock trading to asset gathering. Charles Schwab also doesn't get enough credit for its strong management, the broker argued.
Goldman Sachs GS, -1.49% rallied 3.8% after an upgrade to buy at UBS. Goldman is still the best positioned broker with its attractive business mix, premium returns, risk-management expertise, strategic foresight, compensation flexibility and recent pullback, analyst Glenn Schorr said.
"While markets have turned a bit rocky over the past few weeks and we think there could be a good deal of hesitation among investors, we view the risk/reward at the brokers as increasingly attractive and believe it makes sense to increase exposure post the sell-off," he added.
Merrill Lynch MER, -1.02% rose 1.8% to close at $72.79 after Wachovia upgraded the stock to outperform from market perform and cited a $4.4 billion goodwill transfer to BlackRock BLK, -0.94% as a lift to the company's capital.
Nasdaq NDAQ, +0.53% rose 5% to $31.91 after Sandler O'Neill analyst Rich Repetto said the company's could see a profit boost from its stake in the London Stock Exchange.
He said the bourse is incrementally closer to its goal of buying the exchange since the likely merger between the NYSE Group NYX and Euronext will reduce the chances of a bidding war for the LSE. Meanwhile, shares of the New York Stock Exchange fell 0.7%.

Ghana to Launch New Kit During Egypt Game
Ghana will unveil a new PUMA kit for next year during their final 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Egypt on Sunday.
The Black Stars will host the already qualified Pharaohs in a dead rubber match at the Cape Coast stadium.
The new kit has been designed to reflect the passion, excitement and freedom seen in traditional Ghanaian dance.
The shirt comes with bespoke identity – a trait typical of PUMA and their partnership with their African nations.
The 2018 Ghana home shirt incorporates a stylish graphic interpretation of the Ghanaian people's rhythm, beat and pulse.
Below are photos of the new kit

This home is a beautiful example of Georgian architecture, constructed with convict-made red bricks on sandstone footings, rough-hewn structural timbers, pit-sawn floorboards, and was originally roofed with timber shingles. It is now a self-contained Georgian townhouse that has been beautifully renovated to reflect the needs of the modern visitor while maintaining the historical integrity of the building, which was originally constructed in 1856.
The property is ideally located in the heart of the Salamanca district, just 200 metres to the famous Salamanca Market and waterfront precinct. And a short walk will find you in Hobart's historic CBD.

For the second month, now, I have a show of my work at Eureka Fabrics, 420 2nd Street in Old Town Eureka. I hung an additional six pieces yesterday, and I'll be there this evening for Eureka's Arts Alive! The show includes some recent art quilts, some from last year including Overlooking Eden above, and two pieces of handwoven artcloth. If you're in Eureka, please drop by this evening and say hi!
I'm also having an Open Studio Sale this weekend and next, Saturday and Sunday both weekends, 11-5 pm all days, at my studio in Fortuna. Circles 2, above, is just one of the many pieces I have for sale and on sale (meaning at a significantly reduced price). If you're in the area this weekend, or traveling here next weekend and you'd like to stop by, email me for directions and info.
Hope you have a great weekend -- looks like we're in for more rain. Something tells me it may never stop raining this year...I hope I'm wrong!

Over the past three years, my blog has come a long way. I have become much more selective in the choice of topics for my post. I have found my small group of friends in the blogging world whose blogs I have learnt a lot from. I have also tried to improve the quality of editing and language, though there is still ample room for improvement. One area which I hope to work on is a fresher look on the blog in the coming year and more categories of posts.
To mark its anniversary in my own small way, I have decided to go back in time and paste snippets of some of my favourite posts, favourite not necessarily because they make a good reading but because they had a meaning in my life. So here goes.
Blame it on the Shadows (3/1/2007)
'Darkness is not concealed in the night
It is in our hearts and minds
Once there is radiance in the soul
The night will never be baselessly blamed for our woes.'
29 people, one team, one cause, and one grand event! There are few events which are etched in your life forever, and for me Focus '07 is definitely going to be one of them.
The Crossroad (3/4/2007)
The best alternative or the right one
The crossroad is hazy and vision is blurred
In darkness, when the sun sets
For enlightenment, I look up to the stars.
Resistance and Tolerance (7/5/2007)
I see my grandparents telling my 5 year old cousins, not to fight when one person hits the other and rather go and complaint to one of the elders at home. Two of their favourite lines are "You don't have the right to punish your sibling" and "Revenge doesn't get you anywhere". All this is forgotten when they defend the perpetrators of the riots in Gujarat or the policeman responsible for fake encounters of Muslims. Is it hypocrisy? Or is it just the post independence mind-set? Or is it just the feeling that India means Hindutva n Hindutva alone?
Just Kidding (28/6/2007)
You could cry when in pain, without having to feel embarrassed about it. You could dance in the rain and you would not have to straighten up, when you see a pedestrian staring at you. You could crack stupid jokes and laugh at the silliest of things, because a good sense of humour didn't matter.
Ouch! (4/8/2007)
In the end, she added more instructions: "You will have to bite and hold this swab in your mouth for an hour till the bleeding stops completely. Apply ice intermittently. Your face is likely to swell. You can't eat solid food today at least, though cold milkshakes and ice-creams are allowed." If she hadn't said that last bit, I would have felt a lot worse, being a complete foodie.
I know death is painful, but I really pray I don't end my journey the way my wisdom tooth did. May it rest in pieces and let me be at peace.
Teacher Teacher (5/9/2007)
To conclude, I have compiled a potpourri of quotes by great academicians.The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. Today, however, a teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary. There's nothing happy about teacher's day.
Viva for Dummies (2/11/2007)
Act One and only, Scene two:
(Students emerge from the room and crowds gather around them)
DX: Kya poocha?
D1: Vaat hai yaar. Lagta hai fail ho jaaoonga.
D2: Bahut kuchh poocha lekin ek bhi answer sure nahin tha. Pata nahin kya marks degi. Saala kameena examiner.
Relations Management (20/1/2008)
Pehchante ho?" Since it is not good to be asocial, I try to blink, smile, then blink again, feigning the 'I am pushing my memory hard to conjure some name' look. On a memory miss, I say a polite and soft "No". Knowing the consequences of the reply, I force myself into a trance to skip the huge chain of relations that emerges out of the conversation, more so, if the reply is in English. "I am your father's maternal uncle's wife's sister-in-law." It would have been way better on my behalf to add an " and I am not interested in knowing you" tag after the first "No" but being curt is not a trait appreciated by most.
Stalk Talk (15/2/2008)
What do you do if a stalker who had lost your trail comes back into your life? What do you do if he knows where you stay exactly and has just dropped a gift at your doorstep on your birthday? Well, something of this sort happened to my PAL. I will call her PAL itself for ease of reference throughout the rest of this blog.
It was her 20th birthday. As is usually the case with people celebrating their birthdays, she too received a number of birthday greetings. On one of this calls, she heard an unrecognizable voice and that's when her ordeal began.
Children's Tales (3/4/2008)
Another fine afternoon, around a year ago, this question was put up to me from no where, "Do you have a girlfriend?" I was speechless not because I didn't have an answer. I was in complete awe. "No," I answered, "I don't have the time to look for one." Pat came another googly, "Then what do you do in the recess? Woh to free time hai na." Now I was speechless because I didn't have a smart answer. So I redirected the question to him. He proudly accepted the fact that his bench-mate is his best friend and she is a girl, so he has a girlfriend. She even kissed him on the cheek. I reconfirmed and the answer was the same. My jaw dropped open. When I called my sister to inform her of where today's kids have reached, he screams "Ullu banaya!!!" God save tomorrow's parents!!
Melancholy (13/4/2008)
Living strong his head held high
Despite the hurts that made him cry
He continued to grow old
The soul fading faster than its abode.
The holy lights guided him
Between that period interim,
The second he stopped living
And the moment he died.
It's so hard to say good-bye... (24/4/2008)
This was a bunch of people who would never hesitate to tell me, "Dude, you are wrong" and who would also say "Man, go for it!!" both with equal forthrightness. We have debated over petty issues, but always in the healthiest spirit. I doubt the walls of diplomacy will ever lower to such a level again, as they had in this last year.
I can go on and on about them and what they mean to me, but of all the feelings, I can now identify the most overpowering one. Their presence may have mattered, but their absence surely will. It is a matter of great pride to have been in their company.
The End (6/6/2008)
But you don't want to get cover. You want to stand up, raise hands and feel the rain. It gives you the impression that you are standing on the edge of the world with no one else around you. The thunder overshadowing all the sounds of a busy city and the lightning giving a cosmic feel to the surroundings. You feel free, you feel powerful, you feel overwhelmed, all at the same time. That is all until the shower becomes so heavy that it hits you on your face and you start feeling like a damp sponge.
ग्रीन सूप फॉर मोब्स्टर्स इंक (25/9/2008)
I thought of calling it chicken soup but then I didn't want to offend the vegetarians in any group. I didn't even use a name of a Chinese variant of the soup because there might be members from the Jain community whose sentiments I might hurt unintentionally. So here I am labeling my next post "Green Soup for Mobster's Inc" Do I need to tell you why? I do not want to be the next person beaten to death with iron rods by a mob of 60 men in broad day light in a buzzing corporate complex for doing what is required of my job. Lastly, as an added precaution, I will write the title of this post in Devnagri script to prevent the MNS hackers from tearing my blog down. Since all measures are in place, I guess I can start with the recipe now.
While I was Sleeping (27/11/2008)
While I was sleeping
While I was dreaming
Mumbai was burning
Mumbai was bleeding
At those very places I have once been
I can imagine how it would have been
If imagining the ordeal is so painful
I will be lying if I told you
"I know how it feels."
Sorry (6/2/2009)
Seeing the bread in my bag, the other one asked, "bread milegi." I told her "Yeah ghar ke liye hai. Sorry." I don't think I needed to explain to her, but I felt obliged. I don't think I said sorry because I was sorry for what I did, but because I felt sorry for them. "Sorry is a funny word", I said to myself. Once again, my mind was brimming with thoughts.
What are friends for? (31/3/2009)
- To confide in you how cute they found that girl who just passed by to be which was exactly what you were going to tell them.
- To fuel your imagination. "Imagine Salma Hayek is standing right here in my bedroom" "Yeah, and she is naked."
- To reinstate faith when you think you are being sucked in a black hole. "No it's ok. They won't touch your arm. They will only chop your finger"
- To call you up and ask for "instant tips on how to start a convo with a girl you have seen on your morning walks" when standing next to her!
- To cry without the fear of being mocked, unless its for a lost sock.
Why God Exists? (9/7/2009)
''...I have never asked anyone for help in my whole life, not even my children. I can't change my way of living as a result of a handicap...If you have faith in God and he will take care of you." There was an inkling of truth in this considering he has been living like this for the past 10 years and living well.
As cliched as it sounded, there were forces up there that were at work, an invisible hand guiding the ones who believed, ones in need. 'God'da take Him seriously!
In My Blue Pyjamas (17/8/2009)
As soon as the lecture got over, I rushed back to my room. Had a look in the mirror and realized why I managed to capture everyone's attention for a few minutes. I couldn't stop laughing!! I was a total mess. It was only natural of the others to be so 'nice' to me. But then there are always firsts in lives. Today was my first lecture in pyjamas. I hope it is the last.
I still don't know why I wrote this on my blog. Do you?
Whether Forecast? (13/11/2009)
The winter season is here
The search for reason is here
Are you cold under the feeble sun?
Did my heart unfold a story unsung?
Embrace me
Once again be strong
The divine light beckons
To eternity you will belong.
Yonder lies a world
The abode of the soul
End the battle within
Let the pieces form a whole.
That was the last snippet in the super long flashback post. Phewww!! I should do this annually. It was fun to once again go through everything I had written. Now I will let the birthday party begin.

The $2.2 billion Salesforce Transit Center, which opened to much celebration on Aug. 11, closed down abruptly Sept. 25 after workers found a cracked steel beam. A second cracked beam was later found. Work began Sunday to shore up the structure.
San Francisco Chronicle
The 2019 New York City budget includes $106 million to subsidize half the transit fare for qualified residents for six months. The city joins the ranks of Seattle, Toronto, and the Bay Area that offer income-based discounts for transit fares.
The New York Times
The city attorney vows to bring order to the streets (and sidewalks) of San Francisco by requiring electric scooter share companies to apply for permits. First step: all e-scooters must be removed by June 4, or risk a $100 fine per day per scooter.
San Francisco Chronicle
By building a diesel-powered train line for the 9.2-mile extension to Antioch in East Contra Costa County, BART saved almost $500 million and began service earlier than had it extended the existing line, though a transfer is required between trains.
East Bay Times
Two difficult votes last year, both requiring super-majorities, are paying huge dividends to 28 transformative projects throughout the Golden State to improve rail and transit service and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Los Angeles Times
On April 9, FTA awarded $43 million for a new, 12-mile bus rapid transit line in Everett; $30 million to extend BRT 10 miles in Kansas City and $22.5 million to extend a North Bay commuter rail line two miles to a ferry terminal on San Francisco Bay.
AASHTO Journal
While there has been no lack of criticism (some might say condemnation) of the $200 billion investment that aims to generate an additional $1.3 trillion, some individuals and groups have stepped forward to praise the plan, or at least parts of it.
DC Velocity
Not all of them, just the I-580 lanes. One of the reasons is that most users are actually paying, unlike the other two express lanes where a majority of users are clean-air vehicles or carpools, neither of which pay.
San Francisco Chronicle
It is now up to the Bay Area's transportation planning agency to determine when to ask voters to hike tolls on seven Bay Area bridges, by how much, and whether to phase the increase. A bill to allow voters to fund Caltrain was also signed.
SF Gate
Due to the high level of existing congestion, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission warns motorists that the new I-680 Contra Costa Express Lanes will offer relief just before and after the peak commute hour.

Essentially that's what UC Davis, Yale, and MIT researchers found among California families who purchase very fuel efficient vehicles—they also pair them with gas hogs. If your family owns two vehicles, do you meet the profile?

Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) train is set to start service Friday, running between Sonoma and Marin Counties in the Bay Area. Future extensions are planned that to take it to Larkspur for ferry service to San Francisco.
SF Gate
In 1995, planners forecasted that the Millbrae BART Station in San Mateo County, where riders can transfer to/from Caltrain, would attract 16,500 weekday riders. Fourteen years after it opened, ridership is 7,000. Planners were off by 58 percent.
San Francisco Chronicle
The gas tax bill couldn't pass soon enough for the Bay Area's metro system. Service cuts and fare increases, scheduled for approval April 13, were greatly reduced due to an unexpected $16 million BART will receive, and the bill has yet to be signed!
SF Gate
A report produced by the county authority that built and operates the I-580 Express Lanes in the Bay Area declares them a success. Operating speeds are faster and congestion is reduced. About 11 percent of the freeway traffic uses the toll lanes.
SF Gate
The Geary bus corridor was the #1 pick for a subway according to a Muni survey, but commuters will have to settle for bus rapid transit. A milestone was reached when the San Francisco County Transportation Authority approved the design and EIR.
SF Gate
San Francisco's red, transit-only lanes are a demonstration project. The lanes first appeared in 2013 and were supposed to last two years, with state and federal regulators to determine whether they would continue. The state evaluation began Dec. 6.
San Francisco Chronicle
Before the ballot measure would go to voters, state legislation needs to be written, passed, and signed by Gov. Brown. The first step was taken Dec. 14, when the region's planning agency discussed the option. Tolls are $5, last raised $1 in 2010.
SF Gate
Two 'good news' stories greeted suffering BART riders this past week. First, service was back to normal between North Concord and Pittsburg/Bay Point stations. Second, new cars have arrived, though they will not be put into service until December.

'Affair' is quite a common word these days, but all affairs are not the same. Infidelity finds its way through in 7 ways. It is important to know what kind of affair a cheating partner had so as to make the decision to end the relationship or continue with it can be easily taken. Not to say that an affair is not detrimental to a relationship or a marriage; but they affect the people involved in different ways. Know more about the 7 types of affairs.
7 types of affairs you did not know about
If you were just adjusting yourself to the idea of emotional and sexual affairs, then you have a lot more to think about. Extramarital affairs don't just stop till here. In the age of self-exploration and digital enthusiasm, affairs go far beyond just these two. You want to avoid cheating on your partner and try to find an outlet otherwise. You build a connection with someone that is surely going to be frowned upon and before you know it, you realise that you have been cheating all along! How many types of affairs are there and what is the main reason of infidelity. Here are 7 types of affairs and everything you need to know about them.
1. A sexual affair – the classic cheating
The sexual affair is the most popular and the most common of all types of affairs. You know that you are unfaithful, but are still doing it anyway. It is a casual fling to satisfy your sexual fantasies and desires. Your interest in it is not beyond sex and you avoid any kind of emotional attachment with your fling.
It adheres to what it says, 'just sex'. It could be with a random person or a friend with whom you are seeking benefits. The person doesn't matter, but the activity does.
There is no emotional intimacy and you are in it with no strings attached. The life of these affairs is limited to the satisfaction of your sexual needs. Once your sexual needs are satisfied, these affairs come to an end.
However, they affect a partner deeply and sex and intimacy form the foundation of a committed relationship. Among all types of affairs this is the most common.
2. An emotional affair – cheating without physical intimacy
An emotional affair begins with harmless friendship and slowly evolves into a deep connection. Sometimes, it manifests as a platonic relationship which can eventually harm a marriage. You deceive yourself by leading yourself to think that it does not come into the category of cheating, but deep down you know that you are cheating. About 35% of wives and 45% of husbands report having emotional affairs, according to the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. Among the types of affairs men indulge in emotional affairs more.
Women are usually drawn towards emotional affairs because they are never really emotionally satisfied. The emotional void in their marriage makes them connect with someone to satisfy their emotional needs.
Men too, have emotional affairs with their close friends or colleagues. This relationship involves great emotional intimacy which isn't limited to 'just friends'.
An emotional affair may involve physical intimacy, but it is much stronger than it. One can easily get attached to a person, but it is much more difficult to detach yourself from that person. You think that it's harmless because of no sex involved, but it's even worse.
3. The digital affair – the peril of technology
What is the main reason for infidelity? In the era of the world becoming digital, it is difficult for one not to have a digital affair – the modern type of affair. When you connect with someone through online dating sites or social media and engage in conversations that you should be having with your husband/wife, it is a digital affair. You are involved with this person almost every day and share your experiences, fears, emotions and even feelings. You start to confide and slowly a bond starts to develop. People who have digital affairs entice each other by sending seductive, sexy text messages and build a virtual intimate relationship. Among the 7 types of affair it is the easiest to indulge in an affair like this.
You may or may not meet the person physically, but the chats in your phone are enough to say that you are cheating on your partner. When do you plan on telling your spouse?
4. The one-night stand affair – the opportunist
A one-night stand affair is usually a moment of weakness or an impulse. You didn't plan to do it, but it just 'happened'. Whether you were angry or drunk doesn't make it any less than cheating. These affairs are usually based on impulse and are had with strangers. The fact that it was a one-time affair makes you want to keep it under wraps.
Most people who have one-night affairs don't let their partners know about their actions. They feel guilty of their actions and don't want meaningless sex to ruin what they have with their partner.
At times, people have one-night stands to take revenge on their partner and make sure that their partner knows about it. They sleep with someone and enjoy the night as a way to take revenge for cheating or mistreatment in a marriage. Such cases almost always end in divorce. Take all the revenge you want, as long as you can live with it.
5. The distraction affair – being emotionally unavailable
This is when you are cheating on your partner without even realising it. You think it's a distraction, but it turns out to become a mode of destruction in your marriage.
Most people try to engage themselves in their work or some kind of activity that keeps them involved for long. It could be a game, a project or a series of movies. They use these distractions as an outlet to avoid the real problems of their marriage. They don't want to face it, so find a way of avoiding it instead of talking about it. As a result, they become physically and emotionally distant from their partners by giving priority to their distractions.
6. The 'double life' affair- longing for something outside the marriage
Well, this is cheating through and through. This is when you have an actual meaningful relationship with someone else behind your partner's back. It is like you have two relationships running parallel. There is both emotional and sexual intimacy and maybe even love. You are cheating on your partner with a person who can actually replace him/her. People who have this affair end up becoming masters of manipulation and experts in lying and deceiving.
They live a married live, no matter how imperfect it is, and fulfill their needs elsewhere – both emotional and physical. It's a double life that such people live.
Such people get into relationships because they are unhappy with their marriage, or this is what they say. They are unable to leave their spouses for some reason or the other; maybe the kids, the alimony, not wanting to hurt them or may be some crazy obsessive behaviour. Whatever the reason is, they feel trapped in the marriage and are unable to get out of it and thus indulge in this double life.
These affairs are for the sex addicts and ultimate playboys. They go on and on, affairs after affairs without caring about what their partner feels. They don't have feelings for their spouses and thus love is just a word for them. Sex is like a drug they are addicted to and their sexual needs are never going to be satisfied by just one person. They easily get bored and go on multiple sex drives. They are controlled by their sexual needs and it is not going to stop. Such people are adept in hiding their affairs from their spouses. They don't want their inner beasts to be revealed and thus ensure that they don't get caught. People in this type of affairs most often get away with it.
Sex or no sex, an affair is an affair. Cheating on your wife or girlfriend could be your out for some time. It is only time before she finds out. Cheating is very common, but that doesn't change the fact that it is wrong. It weakens the entire foundation of your marriage. Infidelity, though wrong, has a way to seduce frustrated couples into it and thus come the various affairs. Which one did you see yourself or your partner in?

SAL: More from the wonderful world of Binth! I bought this notepad yesterday at one of my favorite local stores here in Venice - Urbaninc - a treasure trove of stationery goodies on Abbot Kinney. Today I found the same notepad online at another of my faves A + R - who are now also opening up a bricks and mortar on Abbot Kinney here in Venice! What serendipity! Anyway - I love this notepad - it's large and square - and very pretty. Form and function working together. Nice.

SAL: There's a lot of hooplah in the press right now about having a green Christmas - see the NYT article Jolly Green Christmas about the green evangelists set to sabotage the joy of giving for all and sundry. I'm thinking green this Christmas for sure, but I'm also not going to be dogmatic about it - show by example rather than by tirade is my motto. So with that in mind I've been saving all my Anthropologie tissue to use as wrapping paper, I'm avoiding vacuum-packed toys, and I'm on the lookout for gifts that are green and cool. Vivavi is run by the Josh Dorfman who many of you may know as the author of The Lazy Environmentalist. They have a lovely range of eco-friendly furniture that's really beautiful. Perhaps a bit pricey for Christmas gifts, but there are some home accessories that are reasonable - such as these hemp Birch Accent Pillows for $100 from Loop Organic.

HARRY: This is a quickie…gonna be flat out tomorrow with kids and work. That joyful work/life balance in action. So wanted to get this off tonight. IKEA has a new line of oak storage pieces called Estetisk. It includes a very nice magazine holder…although not sure how practical it is. Might be better for storing toys. I also like this shelf system from Umbra (below). It's a little chaotic, imperfect, less neat, easier to see your mags. Probably more me. I don't love the dark brown. It would look much better in oak.

Controlled Open Enrollment is Right Around the Corner!
This is a friendly reminder from Dr. Desjardins, Assistant Superintendent of School Support Services for Charlotte County Public Schools, alerting parents that the months of February and March are designated as the school district's controlled open enrollment window (school choice). During these months, parents and guardians may select a school in our district other than their child's assigned geographic school for the upcoming 2020-21 school year as long as that school is not closed due to being at capacity enrollment. If a school is "open" to reassignments, it is important to note that your child is not necessarily guaranteed a spot at that location. If there are more reassignment requests for a particular school than available seats, then the district will use a random lottery to determine which students will be allowed to attend that school. If a random lottery is needed, it will be conducted during the first two weeks of April.
Any student who is currently on reassignment to a school other than his or her assigned geographic school is no longer required to renew his or her reassignment every year. Your student will remain on that school's roster until your student has completed the highest grade level offered at that school (5th grade for elementary school and 8th grade for middle school). Out-of-County residents no longer need to renew their reassignment application each year they wish for their student to attend a Charlotte County Public School unless they decide to change the school their student is currently attending.
Reassignment forms are available at any Charlotte County Public School, Charlotte County Public Schools Murdock Center, or on the web at www.yourcharlotteschools.net. A complete listing of schools that are at capacity (closed to reassignments) is also available on the school district's website. If you decide to select a school other than your child's assigned geographic school, be careful to research the special conditions such as athletic eligibility that are attached to reassignment obligations. Transportation is not provided for students who have obtained a reassignment. Out-of-County students no longer need to obtain a signature (release) from their county of residence.
Parents or guardians who have any additional questions may call 941-255-0808, extension 3005.

Health Law & Economics: The Necessity for Efficient Compliance
Why is healthcare compliance necessary or desirable? At a global scale, it may be suggested that it is. Notable examples, like the $1.7 billion Medicare fraud in the Columbia/HCA case, suggest that poor compliance may lead to significant monetary losses. Worldwide, other scandals reached the news, not only pertaining to fraud but also to other issues, like privacy and safety breaches, drug prices, and over-prescription of medication and services. This course gives insight into (the causes of) these problems - including the economic issues of an inefficient health care marketplace - and the preventative function of a good compliance plan.
Health Care is a highly charged topic in the US and the EU. Many diverse, often conflicting views indicate the importance of healthcare as a "right"; where quality and quantity can vary greatly among regions and socioeconomic groups, and where costs have been soaring much faster than in their economic sectors. Compliance - (the duty to) act according to legal rules and accepted standards - affects all healthcare providers, big and small. While some providers perceive it to be an essential part of ensuring quality, safety, availability, and costs, others perceive it to be bureaucratically complicated and often over-reaching. Many healthcare providers and hospitals have been affected by scandals that were caused by inadequate compliance. Internationally, well-known British cases include the Alder Hey Organs scandal, which involved the unauthorized removal, retention, and disposal of human tissue; the Stafford hospital scandal which concerns poor care and high mortality rates amongst patients and the Furness General Hospital scandal which is about the intentionally destroying of medical records alongside the discovery of major wrongdoing on behalf of midwives. In addition, the VUmc faced criminal proceedings after it came to light that this Dutch hospital had allowed a TV-show to film seven patients in emergency care without prior permission. Also, the Dutch Meavita case indicates how inadequate corporate governance of a home-care provider may lead to bankruptcy.
A very recent case with important economic overtones (August 2017) is about two of the USA's largest cancer-care providers, which are accused of closing an illegal "gentlemen's agreement" to divide up treatment services in Florida.
Fraud and other threats to the sustainability of the healthcare system and/or the healthcare provided to people cannot be cured by the market. Legal and ethical rules are needed to discipline healthcare providers. The first known rule of Health law is the Hippocratic Oath which dates back to the days of the Ancient Greek around 420 BCE. This oath contains the promise to keep everything the practitioner sees or hears in the lives of his patients secret (actually the first known protection of privacy of the patient), the promise to do no harm to the patient but also to not do an abortion or give a lethal medicine to the patient even when he asks for that (actually a ban on euthanasia). Since then the scope of what is called Health Law has widened enormously.
According to T.K. Hervey and J.V. McHale, European Health law, Cambridge Press 2015, p. 20 the following six core elements of modern Health Law can be identified: "a concern with human rights; professional liability; access to and practising of health care professions and regulating health care institutions; funding and organization of health systems; public health and regulation of human material in health contexts."
From an economics standpoint, the critical question can be posed asking why a free-market seems to be inadequate in addressing health care provision, and the ethical questions of profit-driven enterprises being entrusted with the provision of what society sees as a critical public good.
Obviously, not all elements of Health can be dealt with in this introductory course of one week. The focus will be (a) on how healthcare institutions are regulated and the way compliance of these rules within a healthcare institution should be organized (day 1 and 2), (b) how health systems are funded an organized (day 3); (c) how the right to privacy of the patient (which is a fundamental human right) is protected in the EU and why patients deserve protection of their privacy (part of day 3); (d) how the compliance of Healthcare rules can be monitored by one (or more) national Healthcare Supervising Authorities (the other part of day 3); (e) how healthcare systems are organized and funded (day 4) and (f) how a fair competition between healthcare providers is (in the Netherlands and the EU) regulated and how problems in a healthcare institution can be detected by, e.g. by facilitating whistle blowers (part of day 5).
An interesting part of this course will be the group presentations of the participants in which they will discuss a topic case of a Health scandal in a country of their choice, and analyse how this could have been or can be prevented (second part of day 5).
Course leader
Prof. dr. Wilco J. Oostwouder
Course aim
To equip law & economics students and young professionals with an insight into the background and development of Healthcare Law and Compliance. This course is also recommended for those who study or have studied health sciences or medicine. The assignment will stimulate participants to apply this knowledge to one of the big scandals while also practicing academic writing skills.

text: Jaco Groeneveld Netherland 0 Posted April 21, 2019 Hello, I have a problem that is a little bit complicated. I am using a good working PMAX 5K and P3D4.4, but when I am trying to activate my new VR glasses my view in the cockpit changes to an outside view next to the airplane flight deck/cockpit. I am facing the nose from the aircraft instead of inside the flight deck/cockpit. The view keeps moving to an outside view I want it to stay in the cockpit. When I have my VR glasses on and I'm moving my face, the cockpit moves with me instead of me just moving. Normally when you move your face you can see the whole cockpit, but that's not possible when the cockpit moves with me. The landscape view on the other hand is a good working function. I understand it's a long complicated story but I hope someone understands the problem and perhaps knows a solution. Greetings, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites


text: Hey all, Hoping to get some well needed knowledge on why my fireplace is not operating properly. Hope this is the right section for this type of post. I moved into my new home (50's era) in January and decided I wanted to convert our (illegally installed) propane fireplace (originally wood), back to wood burning. Everything was still in its place, so all I had to do was remove the gas log set and gas line. With the flume open I can clearly see the outside, its a single story house so the chimney is not very tall. There doesnt appear to be any obstructions. Since we have hit some cooler temps as of recent, I've had the chance to test out the fireplace a few times. Overall, it works well.. But our house clearly smells of smoke, and at times Ive seen some smoke being "pushed" into the house. Last night the fire was dying out and it seemed as though without the heat or the fire pushing the air up, its easiest escape was to fill the house with smoke. Im wondering if its simply becsuse of the design of the fireplace it self, the opening of the flume seems rather small to me. Maybe the top of the chimney needs a cap on it? Will post pics soon, thanks!

About Artist: Aya Takano (タカノ綾 Takano Aya?, born December 22, 1976) is a Japanese Superflat artist, manga artist, and science fiction essayist.Takano was born in Saitama, Japan. She spent her childhood reading her father's library, which consisted of many books on natural sciences and science fiction. Exotic animals and landforms combined with an urban city are common themes in her artwork, and are intended to show the juxtaposition between future and fantasy. Takano cited in a documentary made by the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin that she was always fascinated by the unusual forms of nature and animal life, and desires to have such shapes represented in her work.Osamu Tezuka's science fiction was another early influence in Takano's life, and had a lasting impact on her dreamy perception of the world. She cites in the book Drop Dead Cute by Joan Vartanian that she really believed everything she read was true until she was nineteen. Takano states that sometimes even now she imagines possessing the ability to fly and is uninterested in the constrictions of being grounded.

My friend Alana and I went to go see Twilight a couple of weeks ago. We both had some major beef with the book, so we knew we'd have a blast. Photos might explain our night the best:
Me, getting ready for the evening:
Alana and I. I believe that I might have screamed when Edward came on screen. Because what better than a much-too-close-up to make a girl swoon?
Ahhh! He's fine. And that's glitter on her face… not sweat… unless this was a Carlisle scene… then I think she might have been panting next to me.
Washing her hands of the whole thing (and possibly vowing never to go out with me in public again…)
I knew she'd relent eventually, though. Who can resist some Katy-love?

Up to 12 officers, working in pairs, will walk the central city streets from 9pm to 5.30am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights helping to raise residents and visitors perception of safety in the central city after dark.
"Perceptions of safety take the longest to change but the Council is committed to making Christchurch the safest Image by publik16 via Flickrcity in New Zealand and will look to introduce whatever is necessary to make our city safer for both residents and visitors.
"Statistics show in cities where Safe City Officer programmes operate the perception of safety after dark is 76 per cent higher."
Mr Parker says with the Safe City Officers and 25 additional crime prevention cameras, which will be operational in the city before Christmas, Council is looking for a significant improvement in the public's perception of safety in the city.
The Safe City Officers will focus on being highly visible in public areas already identified as high-risk for criminal offending and anti-social behaviour. Their prime roles will be to provide people with information and assistance; deter crime and anti-social behaviour through their visibility; collaborate and provide information to the police, Council and other agencies; and help identify hazards and other issues to help create a safe, vibrant night-time environment.
The Safe City Officer programme will be operated by a local security company during the first six months while Council scopes the long-term operating requirements of the programme.
Mr Parker says the safe city officers will be easily identified in their uniform and yellow and black high-visibility jacket.
"It is great to have this new safety initiative operating in the week the city will be hosting 500 delegates from 28 countries at the 17th International Safe Communities Conference."
