Seven states have told the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that they want to share control over health insurance exchange (HIX) programs in their jurisdictions with HHS.
Another 16 states and the District of Columbia are hoping to run a total of 17 exchanges, and HHS itself seems to be on track to oversee 27 exchanges.
Analysts at Avalere Health have published those figures in a report based on a review of state exchange filings.
The final application deadline for states that want to set up partnership exchanges together with HHS was Friday.
States that hope to run their own, state-based exchanges were supposed to notify HHS earlier.
The states that have applied to work with HHS to run partnership exchanges are Arkansas, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire and West Virginia.
Those states could enroll a total of about 722,000 residents through exchange-based health insurance plans in 2014, Avalere analysts said.
That enrollment projection includes enrollment in Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plans as well as exchange-based commercial plans.
Avalere analysts reported that officials in three states — Ohio, Utah and Virgina — hope to let HHS set up exchanges for their residents but retain some local control.
Utah wants to run its small business exchange.
Ohio and Virginia want to control reviews and certifications of the plans sold through the federal exchanges in their states.

So I'm just squeezing in under the wire, but I wanted to get this posted in time to link up to Faith's Mini Quilt Monday series on her blog, Fresh Lemon Quilts! I figured it was a great opportunity to blog about a mini quilt that I recently completed, and the swap for which I made it.
A couple of weeks back, Sharon (who blogs at Craizee Corners) asked me if I'd like to be a guest blogger this month on her blog in celebration of Sweetwater month. Sharon likes to feature a fabric designer each month, and invites her friends to come talk about their experiences working with that designer's fabrics.
At the same time, I was planning a mini quilt for Kait as part of the Triangle Modern Quilt Guild's mini quilt swap -- a perfect opportunity, I thought, to pull out my small but beloved scrap stash of Authentic, Sweetwater's first line with Moda. These scraps were my leftovers from my pillow project featuring the line on the Moda Bake Shop.
I really, really loved how this little quilt came out. You can read my full Sweetwater month post on Sharon's blog here, and see Kait's blog post about receiving this quilt here.
Julie, a fellow TMQG, made this amazing and beautiful mini quilt for me. Isn't it fabulous? It's made from hexagons -- which she machine pieced! -- from Tula Pink's "Prince Charming" line. (Oh, so she caught on to my weakness for Tula Pink fabrics. I guess I don't hide it too well.)

When I was in college, back in the Stone Age, the coolest guys on campus always seemed to gravitate to girls who belonged to sororities.
That still may be the case.
But let's make it real: On a Saturday afternoon in mid-September, the women of Epsilon Nu Omega, an alumnae chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, had a luncheon at the Marriott City Center to celebrate the accomplishments of 13 exceptional Colorado men. Twelve were honored as M.O.D.E.L. (Men of Distinction, Excellence and Leadership) citizens; a 13th, former gang member Terrance Roberts, was recognized for starting The Prodigal Son Initiative, a nonprofit organization that builds community by offering programs and opportunities for young people living in one of Denver's most underserved neighborhoods.
Seven hundred people were at the event chaired by Barbara Johnson and Erin Brown and emceed by TaRhonda Thomas of 9News to pay tribute to Wiley Daniel, Colorado's first African- American federal judge; Gary Wilson, the first African-American to serve as director of corrections and undersheriff for the Denver Sheriff's Department; and wildlife biologist Scott Gilmore.
They also applauded fellow M.O.D.E.L.s Ryan Ross, dean of students and retention at the Community College of Denver and one of the Denver Business Journal's Top 40 Under 40; Elvin Caldwell Jr., owner and president of Caldwell-Kirk Mortuary and member of the Junior Achievement and YMCA boards of directors; Gregory L. Moore, editor of The Denver Post; William "Bo" Matthews, a former player in the National Football League and founder/CEO of the Bo Matthews Center for Excllence; the Rev. Frank Davis, pastor of Zion Baptist Church and a founder of 62 churches in Africa; Dr. Johnny Johnson, an obstetrician/gynecologist who has delivered more than 15,000 babies; K.C. Matthews, traffic standards and specifications manager for the Colorado Department of Transportation and a member of the Blacks in Colorado Hall of Fame; David Reed, an auto broker and co-founder of East Ridge Elementary School's Brotherhood program; and Richard Lewis, the founder, president and CEO of RTL Networks and a 9News Business Leader of the Year.
In addition to being feted at the luncheon, the 12 M.O.D.E.L.s also are pictured in a 2012 calendar, wearing clothes from the Larimer Square men's boutique Moda, that can be purchased by visiting the chapter website. Moda also furnished the suits that the honorees wore to the luncheon.
Proceeds from both the luncheon and the calendar sales go toward college scholarships that Epsilon Nu Omega awards to outstanding African-American girls.
Epsilon Nu Omega chapter was chartered on Oct. 22, 1949, and is the first graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority to be established in Colorado. It has 120 members, 20 of whom have belonged to AKA for over 50 years. One of them, 98-year-old Marie Greenwood, is a 75-year member and was one of those attending the luncheon.
Denver's first lady, Mary Louise Lee, also was a guest, joining such others as Thelma Gash and her daughter, Lee Kathryn Gash-Maxey; Fannye Evans; Elma Hairston; Janet Buckner; Mickie Smith; Deborah Parsons; Charleszine "Terry" Nelson; Will Jones and Jan Dunn; Stacey Walker; Rosemarie Allen; Emily Tarleton; Scott Mitchell; Vanessa Thomas-Jones; Rosalind "Bee" Harris; Sandra Dillard; Lee Hill of Colorado Public Radio; chapter president Patricia Conyers O'Neal and keynote speaker Farrah Gray.
Gray grew up in poverty on the south side of Chicago and made his first $1 million when he was just 14. Today he is known throughout the world as a philanthropist, best-selling author, syndicated columnist, motivational speaker and CEO of Farrah Gray Publishing.

Dalglish Has The Right Attitude
I understand priorities. I deal with them everyday. Deciding what is more important and what to deal with first, second, third, etc. is a daily occurrence for most people. So it doesn't surprise me that football managers prioritize too. They decide what game is more important and what players to start. Depending on the importance of the game, that can determine who plays and why.
A lot of fans as well as the media often jumped on Benitez's back for all his prioritizing. It was obvious he focused his sights on Europe. So much so that it gave the impression he wasn't as concerned about the league or the domestic cups.
I can't lie, I too was frustrated watching Fernando Torres rested in a league match if there was a Champions League game to think about. Because it seemed that points were often dropped due to this and while a great cup run is always wonderful, Liverpool fans are ready for the focus to be on the league (and all domestic fronts in general).
This season poses an interesting set of circumstances. As we all know, Liverpool will not be competing on four fronts. Europe was too far a reach last season, and whether good or bad, we are not in European competition.
Some see this is as a great opportunity to focus on the league, and the domestic cups. With no European distractions (and even more importantly, no European hangover), the team should realistically be able to field strong starting XIs for just about every game.
If Benitez didn't have Europe to contend with, perhaps he would have given more thought to the league and started his best team every week. It's hard to say.
But one thing I will say about Dalglish's approach so far this season, which was evident following Wednesday's win in the Carling Cup, is that he isn't afraid to field a strong side in a game that might not be deemed as important as another. When many teams believe the competition isn't worth their time, and it's silly to risk first team players, Dalglish believes otherwise.
"We said before the game we'd make changes. But we also said it shouldn't be taken in any way, shape, or form as a sign of being disrespectful towards Exeter or the Carling Cup. We are Liverpool Football Club and we will try to win every game that we've got to play."
Dalglish continued, "I think the most important thing was our attitude to the game and I think we started it in the right frame of mind."
Dalglish's quotes concisely encapsulate how I feel about Liverpool. I'm not an advocate of the attitude of being disgruntled or annoyed by "lesser" competitions like the Europa League or Carling Cup. I want Liverpool to be playing in and winning everything they possibly can because that's what this club is all about.
Argue all you want about how the team needs to build back up to being a stronger squad in order to not have to prioritize so much. But my feeling has been and always will remain that "We are Liverpool Football Club and we will try to win every game that we've got to play."
Nice to see my manager feels the same way.
One Response to "Dalglish Has The Right Attitude"
Well said! Everyone always knocks the Carling Cup at the start but come Feb when the trophy is being handed out we all feel bad when we are not there. So I'm glad the tie and Exeter were given the respect they deserve!

Stuttgart 1993Well, what can I say, it was my very first U2 show and the best so far...the show was just amazing! Best track? Highlights? From the very beginnig to the end...The most "best" track was probably Ultraviolet with the calling of Chancelor Kohl. I have a very personal memorable moment just when Bono poured out a bucket of water right on me...amazing and honestly refreshing after a hot day in the 40s. Eversince I feel a certain connection... Thank you Bono! Thank U2!

In winter, the frozen, snow-draped Triberg waterfalls are illuminated by half a million lights, providing a breathtaking backdrop for star-studded international shows and live music. In the evenings, a spectacular firework display lights up the sky above one of Germany's most famous natural features. Afterwards you will need to warm up with some food and a hot drink in the illuminated Christmas village – a winter wonderland in a class of its own.
The Children's Christmas Magic in the fantastic children's adventure world in the Burggarten by the town hall makes children's eyes shine. The Triburg Christmas magic is even more fascinating: the ice and winter landscape in the Kurhaus, the lantern forest (Laternenwald), the 100-m-long light tunnel, and much more.
The finishing touch to the eventful days are the marvelous firework displays at 9:00 p.m. Triberg – a superlative winter experience.

An ultra-Hasidic newspaper in Brooklyn stirred up outrage after digitally removing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (and National Security team member Audrey Tomason) from the iconic photo of President Obama and others watching the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound.
The paper, Der Tzitung, has a policy against showing photos of women, considering them "sexually suggestive." Sure, that's the first thing readers would have thought when Golda Meir was Israeli prime minister.
Jezebel pointed out that the action may not even be legal, since the terms on the Flickr photo stated it could not be manipulated in any way.
Writing in The Jewish Week, Rabbi Jason Miller wrote: "Der Tzitung edited Hillary Clinton out of the photo, thereby changing history. To my mind, this act of censorship is actually a violation of the Jewish legal principle of g'neivat da'at (deceit)."
Meantime, a parody cartoon showing the nation's leaders as superheroes shot to the top of Reddit this morning. President Obama makes a pensive Captain America, Vice President Joe Biden a hefty Flash and Clinton a relatively tame Wonder Woman, presumably covering her mouth against Kryptonite germs carried by Brigadier General Marshall B. "Brad" Webb as Superman. The headline: "That's why bin Laden had no chance to escape."

Hi,i wanted to install pluto in my vmware (running on win xp home ed.). The installation from the iso-image cd worked, but if i want to boot pluto, then the boot process halts with the message "waiting for the /root filesystem" for about 5 minutes and fails.Has anyone seen the same problem or found any solution?Yours Johannes
Try using the ide emulation instead of scsi one on vmware. Also i think you should boot without the bootsplash since starting x11 may get the vesafb console unusable on vmware.

Transgender: Truth and Compassion
Imagine a woman telling you, "I'm transgender. Please call me Michael." What do you do? Here's how to answer with truth and compassion.
A Reformation the Church Doesn't Need Part 2
Since the birth of the church, no Christian authority—no theologian, no church council, no denominational confession, no seminary—ever hinted that homosexual behavior was morally legitimate. Now congregations across the country are becoming "gay friendly" at an alarming rate, convinced that for two millennia we've all simply misunderstood our Bibles.
A Reformation the Church Doesn't Need Part 1
A New Reformation is a reformation we do not need. These people are organized, serious, and single-minded—and you need to be ready for them, because and they are coming to your church.
Nature or Nurture?
Lady Gaga's mega-hit song, "Born this Way," expressed what many believe: Homosexuality is hardwired in the genes. And if genetic, immutable. And if innate, nonvoluntary. And if not chosen, morally benign. There is therefore (to paraphrase Paul), now no condemnation for homosexuals. To many, that reasoning flows unhindered given Gaga's starting point. But was she right? Birth of the Born-that-Way Theory

Season of drunken bees and too many events
There's more going on in gardens — and at gardens — this weekend than you can shake a blooming branch at. Tonight at the Denver Botanic Gardens, David Salman, owner of High Country Gardens, Pat Hayward of Plant Select, Panayoti Kelaidis and wholesale grower Bill Adams will speak on "Redefining the Well-Adapted Regional Garden." And that's just a preview for Saturday's Garden Conservancy Open Day in Denver — an amazing, traveling tour of five private gardens. The talk at the Gardens is $13 for garden and garden conservancy members, $15 otherwise, and attendees get free admission to one of the private gardens on display.
It's a good weekend to be outside.
Meanwhile, back at my house, there's nothing that makes me happier than a happy bee. I've refrained from pulling swaths of dandelion because they were full of bees. I let the catnip exercise territorial ambitions because of the bees. I bought "Petit bleu" spirea because the fat, clumsy, furry, orange-striped bumblebees are nuts for it.
This year, I'm so happy that my flowering crabapple got its season of drunken bees, and I got my week or so of their music, even if I had to get very quiet to hear it. Even if they kept to the top of the tree where the sun was hitting the blossoms. I just had to get even quieter. And that's what a garden's all about. (If your season of drunken bees has you contemplating hives, go for it.)

Apple Logic Pro X 10.1
Apple Logic Pro 9 (2012)
ProsBeautiful new compressor UI. Drummer plug-in can now stand in for a DJ as well as a session drummer. Plenty of helpful UI tweaks. Terrific interface welcomes pros and GarageBand users alike. Brilliant iPad integration. No copy protection, unlike many of its competitors. Amazing value.
ConsMore existing instrument and effects plug-ins, especially EXS24, are in dire need of a UI makeover.
Bottom LineApple Logic Pro X 10.1 is a powerful update to an already-excellent digital audio workstation, and if you own Logic Pro X, it's free. The update seems geared towards electronic music producers at first glance, but the UI improvements alone are worth the download.
If it's not broken, don't fix it—just refine it. Apple's pro-level audio workstation software gets its first major point release after a dramatic makeover back in 2013. The long-awaited Logic Pro X 10.1 contains another round of brilliant innovations that are worthy of note. Still just $199.99, Logic Pro X 10.1 remains an amazing value, and various small upgrades throughout make it even easier than before to realize complete music projects from start to finish. Unless you need Pro Tools for compatibility with other studios, or simply because you're more familiar with it—perfectly valid reasons to go with Avid—Logic Pro remains our favorite mainstream DAW and a clear Editors' Choice.
Setup and InstallationFor this review, I tested Logic Pro X 10.1 on three machines: a 2.2GHz Core i7 MacBook Pro 15-inch With Retina Display Apple loaned to us, running OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite; my own MacBook Pro 15-inch (2012), which I upgraded with 16GB RAM and an internal SSD; and a MacBook Air (2013) with a Core i7 upgrade. I tested the program with both a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface and each Mac's built-in audio, and as expected, I ran into no problems.
The system requirements haven't changed much, although Logic Pro X 10.1 now demands Mavericks 10.9.5 or later. As before, Logic Pro X 10.1 is fully 64-bit; that's less of a problem these days than it was in the middle of 2013 with regard to third-party plug-in compatibility. Just feed it RAM and it will be very happy. It also opens project files as far back as Logic 5—though good luck if you've got any 10-year-old third-party instrument or effects plug-ins in those!
Since Logic Pro X 10.1 is an App Store download, you can install it on any machine you're registered on with Apple. It can now top 35GB for the full download, but you can get started with much less as the basic install. There's no hardware or software copy protection, and your purchase is safely stored in the cloud in case you ever need to reinstall it. Having no copy protection is novel and awesome in the realm of digital audio workstations, where Avid Pro Tools 11 requires a PACE iLok key, and Steinberg Cubase 7 requires its own proprietary eLicenser key. It's great if you're on a MacBook Pro with just two free USB ports—and USB hubs aren't an answer, because too many audio devices (not to mention other peripherals) prohibit using hubs in their user manuals.
User InterfaceDespite its immense power, Logic is a simple program to start recording with, because the main screen can include everything you need from start to finish—depending on how you populate it, of course. Basic tracks are available in several kinds: audio, for recording live instruments; MIDI, for recording MIDI data from a keyboard, electronic drum set, or other input device; and instrument, which combine the two for use with virtual synthesizers and other plug-in instruments.
The main view doesn't see much change in 10.1 (aside from the Mixer, which I'll get to below). There's no way I can get to all of the UI improvements in this review—there are hundreds, as detailed in Apple's Release Notes. I'll try to hit a few of the highlights, though.
First, a quick recap: The transport is located at the top of the screen and away from any keyboards, mixing surfaces, or other things you may have sitting at the bottom of the monitor and blocking part of the view. The Library contains all available media content; it's on the left and easily collapsible. The top right portion of the screen contains the arrange window, which is where you'll do most of your composing and editing. Each track in the arrange window has volume and pan controls.
Below that is a multi-mode window that can display the mixer, a piano roll, a score editor, or a sample editor. To the left, a track inspector window shows the mixer channel strip for the individual track, plus the track's output bus—be it the master stereo or 5.1 surround bus, or an aux. The right side pops up a number of windows that cover the tempo and time signature of your project, as well as the current MIDI track's event list, which when combined with the piano roll or score editor, makes it simple to edit your tracks.
With a new Brush Tool, you can now paint notes with the cursor in the Piano Roll, which makes it much easier to spray a bunch of hi-hats across a track, to give one example. You can collapse any note rows that aren't being used, which helps a lot when programming drums or repeating instrument parts. New timing handles on the edges of notes let you easily compress or expand the timing of a group at the same time.
Recording and Virtual Instruments
Drummer was one of Logic Pro X's star features, and it gets a big update this time around. For the uninitiated, Drummer is an artificially intelligent session player—one of 25, in fact, each with different styles, personalities, and drum kits for a distinctive sound. You can adjust the frequency of fills, whether they're using the toms or hi-hats more in a given section, and even the frequency of ghost notes and whether they're rushing the beat (a la Stewart Copeland) or relaxing the groove (a la John Bonham). Drummer can follow other tracks for inspiration; for example, the bass player can set the groove for a performance, and Drummer will take cues from the bass track to figure out where to lock in the kick drum.
Now, though, Drummer can also do electronic music—and with aplomb. You can dial up any number of styles and kits, from house and retro to hip hop and electro pop. Ten new electronic drummers sit alongside 18 other acoustic personalities, and cover dubstep, techno, and other styles. These drummers produce awesome-sounding beats, and eliminate the need for third-party sample libraries. Meanwhile, the interface changes, when appropriate, to something that models a drum machine or Akai MPC-style unit. There are new step sequencing features—notably Note Repeat and Spot Erase—which make it simple to lay down your own grooves, and go for the big swells and rises and drops common in dance music.
The companion Drum Machine Designer looks and works differently than the existing Drum Kit Designer. Between the both of them, you've got thousands of recorded samples for electronic drums as well as acoustic kits. You can swap individual drums and cymbals around, and make changes depending on the kit. For example, for acoustic drums, you can adjust the tuning, add or subtract dampening, and adjust the gain and even stereo room mics and leakage. As before, the Producer Kits include excellent-sounding, multi-channel mixes done by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain—complete with EQ, compression, and additional processing and routing—and you can even see all of the settings to learn what he did with the stock Logic plug-ins.
Apple updated Logic Pro X's built-in sound set with over 200 new sounds, plus 10 Mellotron instruments for anyone nostalgic for the popular 1970s tape-based sampled string machine. All told, there are over 1,800 instrument patches, including 750 sampled instruments, plus 3,600 downloadable loops. EXS24 continues to be the workhorse sampler it has been for over a decade, and provides the core workstation-style sample set, including drum kits and pianos. Logic's venerable E-series plug-ins (such as ES1, ES2, ES P, the EVP88 electric piano and so on) provide plenty of synthesizer and keyboard sounds, although many of these sound a bit thin when stacked against today's top plug-ins. The vintage keyboard collection gets a makeover, with a much nicer interface, complete with B3-style drawbars, a vastly configurable Leslie simulator, and a suitcase-style electric piano.
Retro Synth now lets you drag any waveform into the wavetable module; the plug-in will automatically look for pitched information and transform it into a playable virtual instrument. All of the old Jam Packs are still available as free in-app downloads if you want them. You can also stack up to eight voices now inside Retro Synth—and you thought your Roland JUNO-106's Unison mode sounded thick!
Perhaps the biggest news, at least for this OCD-affected engineer: You can finally organize your own plug-ins into folders! Instead of dealing with clumsy nested menus, you can set up folders just for the plug-ins you use all the time, and mix and match third-party plug-ins with the ones that come built into Logic.
Mixing, Effects, and Other New FeaturesThe main console offers large faders, pan and other track controls, and as many inserts and sends as you need. There are now analog-style VCA faders available. Instrument tracks keep everything neat and tidy, though most sequencers now offer some form of that, in lieu of messy audio + MIDI track combinations. At the top of each channel strip, the built-in console EQ really just pops up the EQ plug-in, which offers eight bands, plus configurable Q settings and customizable low-pass and high-pass filters. It offers enough musicality for rounding out the high-end of an electric bass or tightening up the boom of a loosely tuned kick drum.
Smart Quantize can now figure out if you meant to do a staggered chord, as if simulating a strummed guitar or rolled piano chord, and then "quantize around it" so as not to ruin the feel. You can also write automation to regions, which makes it much simpler to move around and arrange your project without destroying recorded fader and knob movements. Speaking of mix automation, there are new Relative and Trim modes for adjusting existing automation data; you can use them to ride a fader and smooth out an edit. There's a new Region Gain, which is similar Clip Gain, one of my favorite features in Pro Tools. And fades are now generated in real time, rather than stored as separate audio files with your project, which greatly simplifies both file management and Flex Pitch edits.
Speaking of which, Flex Pitch and Flex Time are still there, and still make quick work of tuning vocals and fixing mistakes in recorded audio tracks; Flex Pitch in particular is a godsend if you're used to working with an entirely separate app (like Melodyne) or needing to budget for one.
Logic's effects plug-ins really come alive in the compressor and reverb department. The compressors in particular shine, with their Platinum (transparent solid state) and Opto (tube-like) modes, which behave differently and provide exactly the kind of warmth and crunch you'd expect from actual vintage hardware. The best part: There's an entirely new, scalable (to 5K Retina iMac levels) paneled interface for each of the modes, including a new dBx 160 emulation called Classic VCA. In all, there are over 4,500 presets available across the various 80 bundled plug-in effects, plus roughly 1,000 sampled convolution reverb spaces in Space Designer. It's tough to imagine a mixing situation these tools can't cover.
One downside: With the exception of the new Compressor, pop up an existing effect or even instrument plug-in, and you'll see the same old interface you've seen for a decade—complete with now positively tiny controls (there's a pixel-quadrupled view, although it looks blocky). It's about time Apple went through and refreshed the cluttered UIs for the entire plug-in lineup, now that we're all running 1080p (or greater) displays. EXS24 in particular has needed an update for years; while it's optimized for playing hundreds of voices concurrently on a modern Mac running inside Logic Pro X, it could use a refresh, post-Kontakt 5 and MachFive 3 (which, admittedly, cost hundreds of dollars each, whereas EXS24 is free with Logic).
If you've got a compatible interface—think Apogee, although soon other vendors will join in—you'll now be able to control the interface's mic inputs and other settings right from within Logic, instead of having to move over to a clunky separate application. This didn't work with my Scarlett 18i8, so I couldn't test it, but my fingers are crossed.
Logic Remote and ExportsIf you haven't used it before and have an iPad, the Logic Remote app turns your tablet into a remote control for all of Logic Pro X's major functions. For example, you can record tracks with on-screen keyboards, guitar fretboards, or other smart composition tools pulled directly from GarageBand on the iPad. You can make fader moves and control the transport as well, of course. But what's most interesting is that the iPad becomes the front end for Logic Pro X, if you want it to be. You can control your entire Logic Pro X-based studio from the couch.
With version 1.2, a new Plug-In View lets you access Logic or third-party AU plug-ins right from the iPad, which is a huge improvement, as well as reorganize or reorder the plug-ins on a given track. You can also control an audio interface from here, assuming it's compatible as detailed above, and use multi-touch gestures to adjust Logic's EQ on each track. This doesn't feel natural to me in particular, but I could see learning on something like this and then it would be second nature. (Given how long ago I first started recording, I'm lucky I can work a mouse instead of needing hardware knobs and sliders for everything!)
Finally, you can import and export XML for scoring in Final Cut Pro, and even export your projects direct to SoundCloud—the days of mixing down to a CD, then figuring out how to duplicate it, encode it to MP3, put it online, etc. are long gone. Logic Pro X 10.1 also supports Mail Drop and Air Drop for sharing projects in OS X Yosemite.
Still the Logical Choice
With this update, Apple accomplished much of what it needed to do to keep Logic Pro at the top of the heap. All told, Logic Pro X 10.1's cons don't really matter. Any quibbles we have with the program—and some are to be expected, given the sheer breadth and depth of what Logic Pro offers—pale in comparison with its incredible value. Add Logic Pro X 10.1, a small USB MIDI keyboard, and a pair of headphones to a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro—plus an audio interface like the wonderfully designed (and very Logic-friendly) Apogee Duet for Mac and iPad, and some microphones if you're recording live instruments—and you've got a portable music studio that was simply impossible on this scale even just a few years ago, let alone using the same software professionals use on a regular basis.
Even so, it would be silly to say that Logic is clearly superior to the others for all musicians and engineers. All of the major DAWs have become so good over the years, and experienced users have their favorites and produce professional results with them on a regular basis. But I can say confidently that you're not going to get this level of power, usability, sound quality, and customizability anywhere else for 200 bucks.
Once again, I'm giving Logic Pro X a very rare five-star rating—not because it's perfect, as that's not what our five-star rating means, but because it's an outstanding software product. If you have a Mac and haven't decided on a proper recording studio program yet, or if you're aching to upgrade from an earlier version of Logic or even GarageBand (project files from which, incidentally, still open seamlessly in Logic), Logic Pro X 10.1 is a a great bet—and our Editors' Choice for digital audio workstations. And the latest update makes it even better.

At Moo-Lolly-Bar we dispatch all orders via either Australia Express or Registered Post (depending on the size or number of shipping boxes required) or Fastway Couriers, as we believe collectively they are the safest, most reliable and cost effective way of dispatching confectionery items to customers in a warm weather country like Australia. Both methods are also fully trackable.
Of the two, Fastway is our preferred method so if you live in non-remote areas of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria or Adelaide and Canberra we will more likely than not send your order via this courier as standard.
Similarly if you live in parts of the country that Fastway does not service in a timescale of less than 1-4 working days then your order will be dispatched via Australia Post.
As a general rule any order that can fit into an Australia Express or Registered Parcel Post 3kg or 5kg satchel will be sent via that method. If the products you ordered do not fit into an Australia Express or Registered Parcel Post 3kg or 5kg satchel then they will be sent to you via Australia Registered Post.
Regardless of the courier we use you will receive via email a tracking number that will allow you to track the progress of that order. Either by visiting http://www.auspost.com.au/ or http://www.fastway.com.au/.

Regional Data
Annual Traffic Count Program
Pima Association of Governments, along with some of its member jurisdictions, regularly collect traffic counts on major roads and intersections throughout the region. In addition to being a vital input to PAG's transportation planning and travel forecasting, traffic count information is used by:
To maximize the value of this data, PAG annually compiles and distributes all of the traffic counts collected throughout eastern Pima County. These data are available in a number of formats:
Additional traffic count data are available from:
PAG collects weekday traffic count data for selected regionally significant roadway segments and signalized intersections within the Tucson metropolitan area. PAG's traffic count data is collected by a consultant firm, usually on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in the Spring or Fall. Typical traffic data collection methods involve the placement of pneumatic tubes connected to recording devices at selected locations along roadway segments for a period of at least 48 contiguous hours, and specialized video camera setups at intersections to capture turning movements of traffic for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon when traffic peaks.
PAG's goal is to collect a representative traffic count for each roadway segment. However, counting devices can and sometimes do malfunction, resulting in erroneous results. Nearby roadway construction, traffic accidents and other unknown incidents can significantly affect traffic and result in non-typical counts. Even without specific incidents, traffic counts can vary significantly at different locations within a given segment and from day-to-day, month-to-month and throughout the year.

Traffic Volume Forecasts
Pima Association of Governments (PAG) maintains the regional travel demand models and databases to forecast the future travel, in support of the annual Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Long Range Transportation Plan (RTP) development and a wide spectrum of other regional planning studies in the Tucson region.
Use of Information
Commuting and Travel Characteristics
1990, 2000 (and coming soon 2006-2010 Five-Year) Pima County Journey-To-Work Data – the 1990 and 2000 Census and 2006-2010 American Community Survey ACS) collected and reported data on the commuting patterns and characteristics of workers 16 years and older.
PAG 2000 and 2010 Household Travel Survey – The objective of PAG's 2000 and 2010 Household Travel Survey wereto obtain data about activity behavior and travel patterns of Tucson area households. The survey collected data on the activities and travel over a 24-hour period for all members of more than 2,000 households, a representative sample of the households in the Tucson area.
Tucson Transit 2004 Onboard Survey-- In October 2004, the City of Tucson conducted an On Board Origin and Destination Survey of the passengers on the fixed route transit services in Tucson, Arizona. The survey included the City of Tucson transit system (SunTran); the University of Arizona campus transit system (CatTran); and City of Tucson Inner City Express Transit (TICET) downtown transit service. The purpose of the survey was to collect data on the regional travel patterns and demographics of transit riders.
Transportation System Performance Measures
Transportation System Performance Measures are important for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the transportation system as a whole so as to identify the proper multi modal solutions to the traffic congestion problems.
Pima Association of Governments (PAG) sets the programs to collect the traffic and travel data to develop performance measures for monitoring the current traffic congestion; employs the modeling and other techniques to forecast the travel pattern change and traffic congestion evolution; and, works with member jurisdictions to develop the transportation plans to mitigate traffic congestion in the region.
1. Historical Urban Mobility Reports
The Texas Transportation Institute's Urban Mobility Reports use data from federal, state, and local agencies to develop estimates of congestion and mobility within urban area throughout the United States, including Tucson. The methodology developed by several previous research studies yields a quantitative estimate of urbanized area mobility levels, using generally available data, while minimizing the need for extensive data collection.
2. Volume-to-Capacity Ratios
Congestion also can be measured by a volume-to-capacity ratio (V/C Ratio). For the purposes of congestion calculations in this regional analysis, congestion levels are defined as:
In 2003, Pima Association of Governments contracted with Carter & Burgess to collect data on roadway characteristics and field measured travel time and speed. Travel speed data was collected using the floating car method from April 2003 through June 2003 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, during the morning and afternoon peak, and during the midday off-peak period. Intersection delay for through vehicles was recorded at signalized intersections to determine level of service. The study results are documented in the report titled 2002-2003 PAG Regional Travel Time & Travel Speed Study.
Currently, PAG is parterning with Metropia, Inc. to update the regional travel time and speed data.
4. Emergency Evacuation
The recent report titled Emergency Evacuation Report Card 2006 evaluates the 37 largest U.S. urban areas to identify the evacuation challenges facing planners and residents in each area. The report uses a computed "Evacuation Index" to score, grade and rank each urban area based on automobile accessibility, internal traffic congestion and the highway capacity of major exit routes. The report finds that 25 of the 37 "could face greater challenges than New Orleans experienced after Hurricane Katrina." Tucson was not one of the 37 urban areas included in the report. However, the evacuation index for Tucson has been computed by Pima Association of Governments (PAG) using the report's methodology, resulting in the following scores, grades and rankings:
Phoenix has an evacuation index score of 43.6, which earns it a grade of "F" and rank of No. 31 The methodology used for the Emergency Evacuation Report Card 2006 is relatively simplistic. And it can be argued that Tucson's score, grade and rank should be worse than computed above because the report's methodology does not take into account the distribution of Tucson's population relative to the location and orientation of the Tucson's major exit routes, and the physical constraints associated with getting Tucson's population onto the major exit routes. Even so, the results of this study are useful because they highlight the very real issues and challenges facing many U.S. cities, including Tucson, in planning and preparing for a mass evacuation. Like the 25 urban areas identified in the report, Tucson too could face greater challenges than New Orleans experienced after Hurricane Katrina.
The following approach and data was used to compute the evacuation index for Tucson:

Short Stop Diner
The Short Stop Diner is originally from Belleville, New Jersey. Just after World War II, several diner companies offered a "dinette" style to appeal to returning G.I.'s as a low-cost, easy-entry into the diner business as an alternative to their much larger 60-plus-seat diners. Many of these units were bought as outlets for regional chains of White-Tower-like burger restaurants, sporting names like White Crystal, Red Tower, White Manna, and others. At the time Diversified Diners purchased this Short Stop, another still operated not far away. Sadly, that unit became a Dunkin Donuts franchise.
We think this unit is perfect for the same reasons that Paramount Diners designed and built it in the first place: As a low-overhead, easy-to-install, maximum-efficiency, short order restaurant specializing in burgers, hot dogs, and soft drinks. Done right, the operator can have a hit in the real sweet spot of diner operation.
This unique 1949 Paramount Dinette is as attractive as it is rare. Designed with limited seating within the 12 foot by 27 foot frame it has great style and design. It was removed from it's original site in Belleville NJ and awaits a qualified owner.

Vinod Reddy, MathWorks
The introduction of Model-Based Design provides several opportunities and challenges when the development of embedded software crosses the OEM/supplier interface. Traditional development processes tend to be serial, have well-defined handoff points, and lend themselves to outsourcing. But their weaknesses include a heavy reliance on written documents that are subject to misinterpretation, the discovery of problems occurring late in development, and reliance on slow and error-prone hand coding. Model-Based Design knocks down the walls between requirements, design, implementation, and testing in pursuit of cost, quality, time to market, and capacity for dealing with increased complexity. A key component of Model-Based Design is the notion of model elaboration. When all design work is done in-house, there is no confusion about who does what or who realizes the advantages of Model-Based Design. Introducing one or more suppliers into an embedded systems development process built around Model-Based Design requires careful consideration. This session details a number of OEM/supplier collaboration models that allow for the advantages of Model-Based Design to be realized and shared by both OEM and supplier.

The myth of Palestinian innocence
My organisation, Harif, aims to tell the story of 2,500 years of Jewish history and culture in what is known as the Arab world. It's a story with a dramatic ending: 99 percent of these Jews – numbering a million in 1948 – have fled in the space of one generation.
When people learn about the Jewish expulsion, they usually respond with sympathy. Jews from Arab countries are entitled to recognition and redress, they acknowledge.
But that recognition and redress must come from Arab countries, they say.
Indeed, one of the most enduring myths is that Palestinians bear no responsibility for the exodus of the Jews from 10 Arab countries. The Palestinians are innocent of any wrongdoing.
Regrettably, that position is borne of ignorance and wishful thinking. From the outset, the Palestinian cause was a pan-Arab nationalist cause. It has also a powerful Islamist dimension: Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood do not aim to set up a Palestinian state, so much as reclaim Islamic wakf land from the Jews. From an early stage the campaign for Palestine took on an antisemitic hue. If the Fatah and Hamas unity deal lasts, there will be nothing to choose between nationalist and religious rejectionism of a sovereign Jewish state.
Yet the role of the Palestinian Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, in inciting anti-Jewish hatred and violence as early as the 1920s and 30s, is incontrovertible. Not only did the Mufti instigate deadly disturbances in Palestine in 1920 and 1929, it is well known that the riots which led to the murders of 133 Jews in Hebron and Safed were sparked by the lie that the Al-Aqsa mosque was in danger.
Wherever the Mufti went in the Arab world, persecution and mayhem followed against the local Jews.
In December 1931, the Mufti held a World Islamic Congress in Jerusalem. An Iraqi delegate remarked, "If the Jews carry on we will have no choice but to treat the Jews in the only way they know."
"The only way they know" meant that Jews should be treated as submissive dhimmis, inferior to Muslims and at their total mercy. Following pressure from the Western powers on the Ottoman empire in the 19th century, dhimmitude had been largely abolished. But in 1921, Yemenite Jews claim it was due to Palestinian pressure that the decree forcing Jewish orphans to convert to Islam was reinstated. It happened after a Palestinian delegation had visited Yemen to demand that the Imam stop all immigration to Palestine. The Orphans' Decree, argues scholar SD Goiten, was the single most important reason why Jews were desperate to flee Yemen.
From 1931 on, the Mufti ceased to speak of Zionists but Jews. All Arabs were exhorted to treat the Jews of their countries 'as the Jews treat the Arabs of Palestine'.
The congress was followed by violence in Morocco – in Casablanca in 1932, Casablanca and Rabat in 1933, Rabat and Meknes in 1937 and Meknes in 1939. In Tunisia, an entente between Tunisian nationalists and the Palestinian Arab Higher Committee sparked violence in Sfax in 1932. All this well before the creation of the state of Israel.
British reports noted the intense propaganda in Yemen. Jewish refugees tried to make for British-controlled Aden. In 1939, a crowd was incited against the British and the Jews when they were shown fabricated photographs of Arab children hanging from telegraph poles. Other newspapers mendaciously reported that thousands of Arabs had been killed and bombs thrown at the Muslim holy places in Jerusalem.
But the worst incitement, with the deadliest consequences of all, took place in Iraq: In 1939, Palestinian teachers expelled by the British to Baghdad together with the Mufti, along with Syrian and Lebanese emigres, played a key role fanning the flames of Jew-hatred with false propaganda. The Mufti himself plotted a pro-Nazi coup to overthrow the pro-British government. With the British army at the gates of Baghdad, the Mufti was forced again into exile – but not before he had primed the Arabs of Baghdad to unleash the Farhud of 1941. The pogrom claimed the lives of at least 140 Jews, with many mutilated and raped, and 900 shops looted and wrecked.
Thereafter, the Mufti's collaboration with the Nazis, despite strenuous Arab efforts to downplay it, has been well-documented. Taking refuge in Berlin, he sought Nazi license to exterminate Jews in Arab countries as well as Palestine "in the same way as the problem was resolved in the Axis Countries." He raised a Bosnian Muslim SS division which slaughtered 80 percent of Bosnian Jewry. Before the mass Palestinian exodus, the Arab League hatched a postwar, coordinated Nuremberg-style plan to persecute their Jewish citizens as enemy aliens.
The Arab League's decision to launch their ill-fated 1948 war against the fledgling state of Israel came after fierce lobbying by the Palestinian Mufti.
No, the Palestinians are not the innocent victims they claim to be.
The Palestinians must face up to their responsibility not only for driving the conflict with Israel, but playing their part in the ethnic cleansing of the Jews from the Arab world – now 50 percent of Israel's Jewish citizenry. If their choices have led them down the path of misery and disaster, they have only their leadership to blame.

By Brian Nearing, Times Union, link to original post
For the first time in more than a century, thousands of acres of Adirondack land around the Essex Chain of Lakes is open to the public for hiking, paddling, skiing, fishing and hunting.
Held for years by the Finch Pruyn timber company, the lands were opened for public access Monday under an interim plan by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
In August 2012, the state bought 69,000 acres of former Finch lands from The Nature Conservancy, which had bought it from the timber company. With the opening of the Essex portion, about 22,000 of these acres are open to public recreation, which permits day use, but not overnight camping.
Motor vehicle access to Essex lands is open on Cornell Road and on the Boots to Cornell Road. Cars and trucks are allowed to drive on Cornell Road from Woods Road to a gate on the Boots to Cornell Road. A parking area allows access to Deer Pond.
Paddlers may portage canoes and kayaks about a quarter mile to Deer Pond. From there, a half-mile portage reaches a put-in on Third Lake. Paddlers can travel by water to explore First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Lakes of the Essex Chain.
Members of private hunting camps that held leases with Finch retain rights that permit motorized access not available to the public, and also have one-acre exclusive-use envelopes around their camp buildings.
A map of the Essex Chain Lakes tract is available online at http://bit.ly/1fGv8Pf

Editors Note: Congratulations to Paige on her 3rd place finish and a bronze medal at the ISAF Worlds. Paige will represent the US in the Laser Radial class at the 2012 Olympic Games.
Paige is also on the shortlist to receive US Sailing's Rolex Yachtsman & Yachtswoman of the Year Award.
I caught up with Railey at her home in Clearwater, Florida to learn about her mental conditioning, and to hear what it's like to share her Olympic dreams with her big brother, 2008 Finn silver medalist Zach Railey.
You've been sailing so well recently—Have you been doing anything differently from 2007?I took up Buddhism three years ago, so I've been doing a lot of meditation. I've learned to control my feelings and to understand who I am as a person. Meditation has taught me how to calm my mind and to keep myself focused, rather than getting carried away by thoughts and emotions. Buddhism has made me a better, happier person.
How does the Buddhist notion of mindfulness apply to your sailing?I've learned to live in the present. For example, in a medal race, I know that I can't change what's already happened. Instead, I focus solely on the moment and what I have to do now. I view every race as hundreds of opportunities to improve. That's why I like nerves and pressure—when you understand mindfulness, you don't focus on the end, but instead on what's happening now.
What have you learned about managing career highs and lows since 2006?I was really young when it all happened, and I was really inexperienced with handling the press, stress and pressure. Since then, I've learned how to lose. It's not fun to lose, of course, but I don't let the emotion consume me. Instead, I use it as a motivation.
I've matured a lot in my sailing. It's been a combination of my meditation, the sailing that I have done with my coach, Luther Carpenter, and my physical training.
Can you tell me about your work and involvement with Olivia Lives? I had a really good friend named Olivia Ceraolo who died of cancer in 2004. Seeing that and holding her mom in my arms when she was crying made a huge impact. So my twin sister [Brooke], Zach and I, and some other people, started a foundation called Olivia Lives (olivialives.com). It helps the community, for example the homeless, troubled teens, and other cancer patients. One of the biggest things that I'm doing is donating ten percent of my bonuses to the National Sarcoma Foundation of America to help aid in cancer research.
What's more nerve-wracking—sailing your Olympic medal race, or watching Zach race his? Watching my brother race! There's no controlling my emotions at all—the Buddhism goes out the window, big-time!
What advice would you give Zach, going into the 2012 Olympics?I'd tell him not to worry about the pressures that others are going to put on him, because he already won a silver medal. Take one race at a time—every situation for what it is, and be in the here and now.
Would it be too weird if Brooke was also on the USSTAG?If she sailed Radials it would be! I wouldn't want to be competing against my twin sister! It's so hard to describe what a twin is—she is literally my other half; I can't function without her. Brooke keeps me tied to the real world. We really don't speak much about sailing. She lives a different life compared to me—going to college, having a high-school experience and working—all the stuff I missed because I was gone. I get to live these things through her.
What are your favorite Harken and McLube products? Any items you'd never roll tack without? HARKEN: I use Harken blocks for everything. The boat comes with a bunch of supplied blocks, but I change everything out because Harken's ball-bearing blocks take a lot of load off the lines when you're pulling. Also, Harken's full-finger gloves are the only gloves that I'll sail with.
McLUBE: I use HullKote on my boom to first get rid of any debris or salt, and then I spray it with SailKote—it makes the clew tie-down strap slide super easily. I think it's the best thing that you can do for your boom. And I always use HullKote to polish my boat.

LONDON, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Amphibious all-terrain armored vehicles BAE Systems Hagglunds is producing for the French Army will have remote weapon stations from Kongsberg of Norway.
The RWS to be provided by Kongsberg to BAE's Swedish subsidiary is the fully stabilized Protector, designed for small- and medium-caliber weapons.
"Being the world's largest producer of remote weapon stations, it is exciting to be integrated onto a new vehicle platform," said Espen Henriksen, president of Kongsberg Protech Systems. "France is an important market for us, and we look forward to strengthening our relationship with both of these customers."
The value of the contract was not disclosed in the announcement, which was made in London at an international defense and security equipment exhibition.
Deliveries of the Protector RWS are expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.
Kongsberg said the RWS can operate in all environmental conditions and more than 17,000 units have been delivered to military forces in 17 countries.

You know you're in trouble when you call poison control and the attending toxicologist just laughs and laughs at your consult. I don't mean a little snicker, but a full-throated guffaw, lasting thirty seconds, followed by, "Seriously? You're not shitting me? I've been doing this 25 years and even I've never heard of that one!"
The case was, I must admit, unique.
The patient was a 22-year old man with a known history of schizophrenia, who had been admitted to the hospital for a soft-tissue infection which had subsequently developed into CA-MRSA osteomyelitis, an infection of the bone. This required long-term IV antibiotic therapy, so the patient had a PICC line inserted. I'll give the hospitalist team credit -- they considered the wisdom of sending a mentally ill person home with an indwelling venous catheter, even to the point of having an inpatient psychiatry consult regarding that issue. The big risk is generally that patients might inject heroin or other illicit substances into their line, or that they will not keep it clean and they will develop line sepsis. However, the patient had never been known to abuse drugs, and his delusions seemed well-controlled on his medications, so it was ultimately decided to be safe. They arranged close home health support and frequent checks with his case manager and home he went for six weeks of IV antibiotics.
Somewhere around week four, he quietly began getting more delusional. The thought of having an infection in his bones seemed so dirty, so impure. He spent more and more time dwelling on how filthy and repugnant he was inside. He wanted to cleanse himself, to undergo a purification, a catharsis. The antibiotics clearly weren't working, because he still felt unclean, tainted. So he started casting about, looking for something he could do to quickly eradicate the pollution from his bones. What could he use to get rid of this contamination?
So he consulted Google: what kills germs best? The answer:Yes, bleach. Good old household, undiluted 5.5% sodium hypochlorite. It kills all germs, doesn't it? That'll fix what ails me, he figured, and proceeded to draw up 40cc of bleach into syringes and inject it into his central line.
The home health aide came over shortly to get his daily antibiotics started, but the patient cheerfully and proudly informed her that he wouldn't be needing any more antibiotics, because he had cured himself. I can only imagine her reaction when he told her how.
Thus he came to me.
As I mentioned above, poison control was not exactly helpful to me. He thought it was hysterical, but could give no meaningful guidance. A lit search was more or less fruitless as well. I had a feeling that he would be fine: many suicidal patients try to kill themselves by drinking bleach, but wind up disappointed at what a benign and well-tolerated substance it is. So we worked him up.
We had the hardest getting labs on him. The lab techs reported that when they tried to spin his blood down, they couldn't -- it had just turned to a gelatinous goo in the tubes. The bedside chemistry machine reported more or less normal electrolytes, but the tea-colored urine coming out of his foley catheter looked ominous.
Eventually I was able to calm the toxicologist down enough to rationally discuss the case. We figured that the bleach probably would have been pretty rapidly diluted when injected directly into the central circulation (I still somehow can't believe I'm typing those words), so the likelihood of end-organ injury was probably low. But the portion of the blood that was exposed to the higher concentration bleach probably would hemolyze, spilling hemoglobin into the extravascular space.
So we could think of this as resembling rhabdomyolysis, with elevated myoglobin levels, or, more aptly, like blackwater fever. We hydrated the hell out of him, since hemoglobin is very toxic to the kidneys, monitored his potassium, renal function and blood pressure, and admitted him.
I'm pleased to say that he did fine. Full recovery, and off to a med-psych facility within forty-eight hours.
And now I've got a great case to write up if I ever feel like getting published. (I suspect I'm too lazy.)
Man, I love my job.
19 August 2008

This happened once to a dog at a vet hospital where a vet tech friend of mine worked. Someone accidentally hung a bag with 50cc bleach in 1L saline, and infused it IV overnight (the dog weighed about 70 pounds). When they realized their major fuck-up the next morning, they pulled a CBC/chem prof, which came back perfectly, perfectly normal, and the dog was happy as a clam. No one could ever explain that one.ReplyDelete

So here is one for you about bleach, I was dealing with a couple of nasty boils. Nothing was working until I put bleach on them. Did'nt hurt much and they healed up within a couple of days rather than a couple of weeks like they usually do.ReplyDelete

Do you know if the bleach affected his infection? Ie. was there a change at the wound site? Were there any signs of infection on the labs you did get? Were there any adverse affects of the bleach? Why do you think his blood was hypercoagulable?ReplyDelete

Check out this timeline to learn what it will take for your community to meet 90% of its energy needs through efficiency and renewables by 2050, as well as where your community's energy use currently stands (Baseline Year).
This data is based on best available information. Vermont's energy mix is rapidly changing and consistent tracking of this complex information is being refined in collaboration with our utilities. The progress timelines will be updated annually as official data becomes available.
Visit our Municipal Resources Page for guides, case studies and stories on how Municipal Governments are working to reach the 90% by 2050 goal.
Data Methodology
These graphs rely on the best available official data sources, including: i) Efficiency Vermont, for electricity data; ii) US Energy information Agency (EIA) for energy use across sectors and fuel types; iii) Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTRANS) for VMT and average fuel economies; and iv) US Census for population and other demographic information.
The Dashboard provides directionally correct projections based on best available information. To estimate the 90% by 2050 projections, it draws on energy scenario work contained in Vermont's 2016 Comprehensive Energy Plan, modeling by VEIC using the Long-Range Energy Assessment Planning (LEAP) tool, and EAN's 2050 Energy Pathways analysis. Note that these statistics are pre-Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and do not reflect RECs transferred to a utility or sold out of state. As this information is made public, it will be included. For more information on the data methodology, please download the PDF.

If you read The Onion as your only source of news, you'd be under the impression that Vice President Joe Biden is a Coors Light-drinking, Trans Am-driving, Dave and Buster's-banned, womanizing former Senator from the great state of Delaware.
While most of that isn't actually true, a group is trying to make part of it come to life.
Biden's fictional Trans Am has been a running gag since The Onion decided on Biden's satirical persona. A grassroots group loves the idea of Vice President Biden owning a Trans Am so much that they have started an indiegogo project to buy VP Biden a Trans AM.
The group is working to raise $25,000 to buy the car for Biden so that he can ride around Washington in style this election season — and then the car will actually be auctioned off with the money to "be distributed to the Biden Breast Health Initiative, Doctors Without Borders, the Wounded Warrior Project and GLAAD."
So far, they have raised just $920 towards their goal. There are only 48 days left to help get the Vice President a sweet car to wash in the White House driveway while he reminisces about his awesome summer of 1987.
