Just thought I'd share that, due to the advice from the board, months and months ago I printed off the health information about cavaliers and gave a file on the breed to my vet, who had never had a cavalier patient before.
Yesterday, when Cedar and I stopped in to pick up some heartworm meds, the receptionist told me that, because of those papes, she was able to give some information and advice to a woman who had inquired at the office about Cavaliers. Because of what they learned about SM and MVD through those documents, they were able to educate the woman.

The University of Wisconsin Law School is pleased to host the 2011 Midwest Clinical Law Conference on November 11-13, 2011. We hope you will join us to see old friends, meet new colleagues, and engage in a weekend-long discussion about improving clinical legal education. And where else to hold this conference than the center of news and media attention, Madison, Wisconsin, on a beautiful fall weekend on the vibrant campus between the lakes?
The theme for this year's conference is "True Grit: The Grit of What We Do." Over the course of the weekend, we hope to explore three facets of clinical focus: telling our clients' stories, fostering systemic change in a variety of legal fields, and developing innovative pedagogical teaching methods. We will explore these "grains" of our work through a unique track-based presentation schedule, designed to focus on one of these three areas.
While we encourage you to follow a given track throughout the conference, you are more than welcome to explore the various concurrent sessions going on at any given time. In addition, each day we will have a plenary session from a different "track" to provide a complete coverage of the three topics. In addition to our scheduled track events, we will also have opening day remarks from UW Law School Dean Margaret Raymond and a lunchtime talk from Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson.
In addition to our wonderful speakers and presentations, we also invite you to come to the conference to tell your story. Modeled on NPR's StoryCorps project, this year's conference will provide participants with an opportunity to record and share a story in either audio or visual format. We encourage you to record your story during the conference. Click here for some suggestions for telling your story. In addition, here are mp3 audio files with sample stories from Clinical Professor Meredith Ross, Director of the Frank J. Remington Center and a supervising attorney in the Legal Assistance to Institutionalized Persons Project (LAIP); Clinical Associate Professor Pete DeWind, Director of the Restorative Justice Project; and Adjunct Professor Eric Englund and Clinical Assistant Professor Anne Smith, Co-Directors of the Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic.
This conference is made possible in part through the generous support of the AALS Section on Clinical Legal Education.

Gunshots report is second in Manchester in three days
December 14. 2012 9:52PM
MANCHESTER - Police are investigating a second series of gunshots in the city in three days.
Police said they received a report of shots being fired at the intersection of Hall and Dix streets about 3:30 a.m. Friday and found four 40-caliber shell casings at the scene. Witnesses reported seeing a small car leaving the area shortly after the shots were heard, police said.
About 11 p.m. Wednesday, several shots were reported to have been fired near 171 Union St. Police said they found five casings, also 40-caliber, at the scene.
One man reported seeing two men running away from the Union Street incident. Both were described as Hispanic and 5 feet 8 inches tall. Witnesses reported a small white car with a loud exhaust and temporary registration plates leaving the scene after the Union Street shooting.
"At this point, it is unknown whether the two incidents are related and police have not located any evidence to suggest an intended target in either event," police said in a release.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 668-8711 or anonymously through the Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Former Tennessee Tech All-American Scott Stallings fired a five-under 65 Friday and surged toward the top of the leaderboard halfway through the Greenbrier Classic. Stallings has placed in the Top 25 in six of his last eight PGA Tour events.
Brian De
Jonge shot a 3-under-par 67 Friday and is tied with Webb Simpson at
7 under with two rounds remaining.
Stallings shot an even-par 70 on Thursday, making four birdies, four bogeys and 10 pars. On Friday, he managed five birdies and 13 pars, and didn't card a single bogey. He is scheduled to begin play Saturday in round three at hole #1 at the Old White TPC, where he is paired with Gary Woodland.
Among those failing to advance to weekend play were Phil Mickelson, whose streak of making 17 straight cuts ended, and defending champion Stuart Appleby. Both finished 3 over, missing the cut by two strokes.
Both Simpson and de Jonge are chasing their first career victories. The tournament champion will earn a spot in next week's World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.
Like last year, when Appleby came from a seven-stroke deficit and shot 59 in the final round to win, it's anyone's tournament. Thirty-five players were within five shots of the lead entering the third round.
Simpson and de Jonge were the only two of the top 10 from the first round to break par in the second. The cut was three shots higher than last year.
First-round leader Trevor Immelman made just two birdies, shot 70 and was at 6 under.
Tied at 5 under are Stallings (65), Michael Letzig (66), Gary Woodland (70), Brian Davis (64) and Derek Lamely (70). Lamely was tied for the lead before a stretch of three bogeys and a double-bogey over seven holes.
Canadian Chris Baryla made five birdies in an eight-hole stretch in his morning round to rocket to the top of the leaderboard at 8 under, then made triple-bogey on the par-4 sixth. He shot 69 and was in a group of six at 4 under.
Australian Steven Bowditch moved to 6 under after an early birdie, but had a double-bogey and three bogeys on his final four holes to fall to even par.

by Linda Ellis
Have you ever walked through a cemetery or read an obituary and pondered that small, seemingly insignificant dash between the day someone was born and the date he or she departed? This oftenoverlooked little line ultimately represents every breath and step we take in life.
Until an epiphany awakens us to the brevity of this dash with which we have been blessed, true appreciation of our life cannot begin.
So think about this long and hard;
are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.
When, as newborns, we take that first independent, deliberate breath, we sign an invisible contract with life that we will do everything we can to preserve, cherish and live it. By seizing and inhabiting our moments and living our dash, instead of simply existing, we are abiding by that first unspoken oath.
Because success should not be measured
in what you will buy, or own,
but in the pride you feel
in the person you're with
… when you are all alone.
When we spend our time focused on problems, we subconsciously disregard all that is not a problem. In mulling over yesterday and worrying about tomorrow, we fail to recognize the presence of today. When we postpone living until everything is running smoothly, we forfeit the minutes of our now.
Instead of focusing on the next achievement or acquisition, we need to practice focusing on all the blessings around us—our loved ones and the sheer pleasure found in simply being. The poet in me writes: So live in your now; be conscious, sincere. Let your mind allow you to be in your here!
For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars… the house… the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
Linda Ellis' global touchstone poem, The Dash, was followed by the Live Your Dash poem, and her new book, Live Your Dash. Join the conversation at Facebook.com/

See also Leeds Safeguarding Children Partnership Protocol for Working with Unco-operative and Hard to Engage Families .
Uncooperative families are those who will deliberately choose not to engage and/or co-operate with professionals and who will often display one or more of a wide range of unco-operative behaviours towards professionals. From time to time all agencies will come into contact with families whose co-operation is difficult, including those whose compliance is apparent rather than genuine, or who are more obviously reluctant, resistant or sometimes angry or hostile to their approaches. In extreme cases, professionals can experience intimidation, abuse, threats of violence and actual violence.
The child's welfare should remain paramount at all times and where professionals are too scared to confront the family, they must consider what life is like for a child in the family.
All agencies should support their staff by:
Certain circumstances for some families mean that they too can be difficult to engage with, for example migration (internal and external due to refugee/asylum seeking processes), culture and language. However for the majority of these families there is not a deliberate act which stops or hinders engagement and they would be classed at "hard to reach" families. This document does not cover families who are classed as "hard to reach" although it should be recognised that such families can too be unco-operative or dis-engaging and if such behaviours as outlined by this document are displayed then professionals should respond accordingly.
There are many types of unco-operativeness, including:
There are a variety of reasons why some families may be unco-operative with professionals, including the fact that they:
A range of social, cultural and psychological factors influence the behaviour of parents. The more uncooperative the family, the more likely it is that the main influences are psychological.
In general a parent will try to regain control over their lives, but they may be overwhelmed by pain, depression, anxiety and guilt resulting from the earlier losses in their lives. Paradoxically, the unco-operativeness may be the moment at which the person opens up their feelings, albeit negative ones, at the prospect of help. They are unlikely to be aware of this process going on.
Accurate information and a clear understanding of what is happening to a child within their family and community are vital to any assessment. The usual and most effective way to achieve this is by engaging parents and children in the process of assessment, reaching a shared view of what needs to change and what support is needed, and jointly planning the next steps.

Residents can start casting ballots Saturday for a board of directors candidate, and neighborhood and alternate representative. Voting continues through May 1.
Voting can be done one of three ways: Online, by paper ballot or in person.
Residents are encouraged to vote online through an application developed by the association and election committee to simplify the voting process. Online voting can be done by 3 p.m. May 1 on the community website.
To take advantage of this voting option, login to www.schhnews.com and then click on the voting banner on the homepage. Select a candidate for the board of directors and, if your neighborhood is holding its election, your preference for neighborhood representative and alternate representative. Then click "Confirm Vote" to submit the electronic ballot. Further instructions are listed in the Election Supplement of the April SunSations. A demonstration of how to vote online is on the Association website.
Residents who prefer to vote with a paper ballot can find that envelope in the 2012 Election Supplement. The ballot is attached to the return envelope at the center of the Election Supplement. If your neighborhood is holding an election for representative and alternate, you should have received a colored ballot with SunSations.
Al Burfeind and Frank Szczurek are seeking the seat on the board of directors. An informational session, Meet Your Board of Directors Candidates, will be rebroadcast on Sun City TV. Check www.schhtv.com for times.
In addition to the board of directors, 20 neighborhoods will elect neighborhood representatives and alternate representatives. Those neighborhoods are: Aster Fields, Pelican Point, Basket Walk, Rivergrass, Blue Heron Village, Spring Hill, Bull Hill, Stratford Village, Cypress Run, Summerplace Village, Foxlake, The Preserve, Garden Walk, Water Lily Cove, Hampton Village, Whispering Oaks, Murray Hill, Willow Brook Village, Palmetto Place and Windsor Walk.
If you choose to abstain from the board vote, you should still fill out your neighborhood and activity card number then write "abstain" or leave the selections blank before submitting the ballot, so that your participation will be counted toward the community and neighborhood quorums. If you are voting electronically, you can select the "Abstain" button.
The board of directors candidates must have a 20 percent quorum, meaning at least 20 percent of the association membership must vote, and 10 percent is needed to validate the neighborhood representative and alternate representative elections. Even though some neighborhood elections are uncontested, it is important to cast your ballot. If the community or individual neighborhood does not meet quorum requirements, another election will have to be held at a considerable cost to the community.
Paper ballots can be mailed or dropped off at Palmetto Commons until 5 p.m. April 30.
Cast your ballot in person from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. May 1 in Pinckney Hall. Electronic voting assistance will be available at the polling place in Pinckney Hall.
There is one vote per household and only property owners are eligible to vote.
Check eNews Weekly, SCTV News and SunSations for more information about the election.

The Democrats' effort to keep gas prices high is reaching a crescendo, as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid prepare to adjourn for a five-week vacation without allowing a vote on increasing our energy resources. House Republicans are trying to prevent this from happening.
The Republicans have combined their "all of the above" energy proposals into the American Energy Act, but Pelosi won't allow it to come to a vote. If she did, it would likely pass, as a number of House Democrats disagree with their leadership's policy of keeping gas prices high by limiting supply.
What makes the Dems so perverse? In this rather weird Politico article–who is more pretentious, Pelosi or the reporter?–Pelosi says, "I'm trying to save the planet!" Which is, frankly, idiotic. House Republicans are fighting back by trying to prevent the House from adjourning until its members, Republicans and Democrats alike, have had an opportunity to vote on proposals to lower gas prices by expanding our energy resources. Republicans have vowed to vote "No" on the motion to adjourn, and are hoping that some Democrats will join them.
You might think that the Democrats' position, which takes money out of the pockets of all Americans, would be political poison. Not necessarily. The Democrats know who their friends are. Thus, for example, the Sierra Club, whose executive director wrote an op-ed supporting high gas prices and opposing "cheap fuel," recently announced that it will run political ads in support of House Democratic candidates. If you're in favor of prosperity and economic growth, write your Congressman and ask him or her not to vote to adjourn Congress until members have had an opportunity to vote to lower energy costs by allowing supply to increase.

With the start of the summer vacation, many Saudi families have packed up in order to spend some time abroad to rest and for entertainment.
Young Saudis sometimes prefer to travel with their friends rather than accompany their families. While this ensures their personal freedom, it might also cause them trouble or make them commit fatal mistakes. They might fall prey to organized gangs.
In extreme cases, these gangs could steal their money by making them drug addicts and womanizers, or have them rebel against their country. There are many ways of misguiding young and lonely Saudis who travel without knowing what lies ahead for them abroad.
Arab News spoke to a number of young Saudis about their experiences abroad. One of them, who preferred anonymity so as not to embarrass his family, told a painful story: "My friends convinced me to travel with them instead of my family. They told me that my family would carefully watch all my moves and would not allow me to enjoy myself. I liked the idea, despite opposition from my family. We traveled to a European country where I saw all kinds of irresistible temptations — nightclubs, casinos, theaters, bars, and the streets."
The things he liked most was that he could smoke freely, drink and go out with girls without anyone harassing him. "I committed a number of un-Islamic acts that I have not tried before in my own country. I spent all my money on illegal pleasures and had to borrow from my friends and ask my family back home for more money. I liked the experience and wanted to repeat it the following year."
However, the price was too high — he tested HIV positive. "I regretted my outside travels and wished that I had listened to my father, who always asked me not to travel alone or in the company of bad friends. I am left alone now, just waiting in my room for my death, which is not far away."
Khaled Abdullah Al-Qahtani, another young Saudi, said he refused to listen to his family and traveled abroad with his friends.
"In a European country I had alcohol for the first time. I even smoked hashish and tried all kinds of drugs that we got from one of the girls from that country. She was working for a dangerous gang, involved in drug trafficking and prostitution. The drugs and women depleted my money fast. I was obliged to borrow drugs from the gang after promising to give them the money in a week when I received it from my father. Unfortunately, for some reasons my father was unable to send me money. The gang confiscated my passport and all my belongings so that I could not escape. I had no choice but to take my case to the Saudi Embassy, which returned me to the Kingdom safe and sound, but as a drug addict. I had to go to Al-Amal Hospital for Rehabilitation. I took a solemn oath never to travel abroad without my family."
Saudi national Abdullah Al-Otaibi's only son traveled with his friends to an Arab country to spend the summer vacation. "For two months, there was no news from him: His mobile was switched off. However, he suddenly came back, but as a different man. He became more religious and always wanted to be left alone. I only discovered what had happened to him when he was caught by security forces on charges of plotting to execute a terrorist operation."
Commenting on these experiences, sociologist Faiz Abdullah Al-Hoshan of the College of Social Sciences at King Saud University said society is to blame largely for the mistakes committed by young Saudis when they travel abroad alone.
He pointed out that young Saudis without their families outside were easy targets for organized gangs and were liable to commit mistakes. "They are vulnerable because they are not immune against the hazards they may face outside," he said.
Al-Hoshan said that social and religious enlightenment was the weapon we should arm our youths with. "We should not shy away from arming our young men and women with sexual, cultural and health awareness," he said.
"We should increase the dose of social awareness through media, the Internet and other forums," he added.
Al-Hoshan warned that the outside world looked at the young Saudis from a very narrow perspective, thinking they are only out for booze, drugs and women. This makes them an easy prey for organized gangs, he said.

Big Bad Ben Bernanke vigorously defended QE while acknowledging some risks in a sometimes heated testimony. With the negative outlook, gold and silver and the bonds got a boost and oil was unmoved as it focused on what seems like an ever increasing supply situation. The American Petroleum Institute reported yet another crude oil supply build. This, more than likely, is foreshadowing another build from the Energy Information Administration and adds to the perception of a U.S. oil glut.
The API reported that crude oil supply increased by 904,000 barrels. While supply did fall 206,000 barrels in Cushing, Oklahoma, the supply overall is still more than ample. Declines in distillate and gasoline reflect weather and the fact that refiners are starting to draw down winter supply. The crack spread got cracked and the gasoline market is confirming its major top. Heating oil stocks fell 356,000 barrels, but out East it is natural gas that is becoming all the rage. Ethanol is being influenced in the front end due to tightness in the cash corn market as deliverable supply is hard to find. The new crop is unmoved. The break in crude oil, that we called, is right on target and the products are dutifully following.
Natural gas was flatish with weather holding us up. The market was reluctant to surge higher as the recent run has made traders worried about a correction, but at the same time the demand should be decent. The storage report should show a sizable draw around 160 bcfs due to a big drop in temperatures. Different parts of the country showed strong demand and while Henry Hub may not see all of it, the longer term shift to natural gas continues. Look at long term option plays for natural gas far out in the curve. In the front end, look to write puts on breaks.
Reuters News reports, "The New England electricity grid operator and association of power producers have filed with federal energy regulators to force electricity providers to submit bids for the day-ahead market two to three hours earlier to insure they tap enough supply to support gas-fired power generation. Filing earlier bids may not allow a power provider to see a full spectrum of natural gas prices since the market trades mostly between 10 a.m. and noon EST. Natural gas makes up the fuel component of the power price. The ISO New England and New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) filed a request on Feb. 7 with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to bump up the time to file bids under the Federal Power Act, citing a need to improve reliability of receiving natural gas to support power generation. "Increased demand for natural gas in New England has increased competition for the use of the natural gas pipelines and has made it more difficult for generators to obtain natural gas for power generation," the filing said. Market comments in favor or against the proposal are due to FERC on Thursday. The New England region has too little pipeline capacity to deliver as the fuel has grown in popularity for both power generation and space heating. Prices at a major New England pipeline hub, Algonquin, located in the Boston area, have risen by as much as two-to-six times during peak weather demand. Natural gas accounted for 15% of electricity production in New England in 2000. By 2011, it had grown to 52%.
Reuters also is reporting that Trinidad and Tobago is turning to markets in Latin America and the Caribbean for sale of its natural gas as its exports to the United States, once its major customer, quickly decline in the face of the North American shale gas revolution. Energy Minister Kevin Ramnarine said Trinidad and Tobago has a lucrative role to play in regional energy security through the export of its natural gas. "Our Caribbean and Latin American neighbors are buckling under the weight of high oil prices that have impacted on their balance of payments and contributed to high prices for electricity and transportation fuels," he told an energy conference in Port of Spain last month. Gasfin, a U.K.-based company that develops mid-size LNG plants, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Trinidad and Tobago government last year to build a $400 million LNG plant producing 500,000 tons annually to supply Caribbean markets. Centrica, another British firm, plans to begin development of its Block 22 acreage which is estimated to contain up to 1.3 trillion cubic feet (37 million cubic meters) of gas, and the proposed option for the commercialization of the gas includes a compressed natural gas plant. Ramnarine said the CNG facility gives smaller markets in the Caribbean the option of moving out from diesel or fuel-oil based power generation. Trinidad and Tobago's energy sector contributes more than 40 percent of GDP and 70 percent of foreign exchange earnings, selling natural gas to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and recently to Argentina and Chile. The twin island republic is also eyeing Panama and Costa Rica which are both preparing to build re-gasification terminals as they make the switch to LNG.

Number: 104-14
Date: December 06, 1995
On December 5, 1995, the House passed H.R. 2684, the Senior Citizens' Right To Work Act of 1995, by a vote o f 411-4. Members voting against the bill were: Beilenson (D- CA), J ohnston (D- FL), La Falce (D- NY) , and Watts (D-NC). In the Senate, a companion bill, S. 1432, was introduced by Senator McCain (R-AZ) on November 28. The Senate Committee on Finance is expected to take action on the bill before Congress adjourns for the holidays.
As passed by the House, H.R. 2684 includes the following:
Increase in the Earnings Test Annual Exempt Amount
- Beginning in 1996, gradually raise the earnings limit for the retirement earnings test (RET) for beneficiaries who have attained normal retirement age to $30,000 by 2002 (compared with $14,760 under current law based on the intermediate assumptions in the Trustees Report). The applicable 1996 exempt amount under current law is $11,520. Exempt amounts under the bill would be:
After 2002, the annual exempt amount would be indexed to growth in average wages. The substantial gainful activity (SGA) amount applicable to individuals who are statutorily blind would no longer be linked to the RET exempt amount for individuals ages 65 to 69. Instead, the SGA amount for blind people would continue to be adjusted annually as under present law, i.e., based on the national average wage index.
Dependency Test for Stepchildren
- To get benefits, a stepchild would have to be receiving at least one-half support from the stepparent when the child's claim is filed. (The option for finding dependency based on living-with would be eliminated.) This provision would be effective for benefits of individuals who become entitled after the third month following the month of enactment.
If the natural parent and the stepparent of an entitled stepchild divorce, benefits to the stepchild would terminate 6 months after SSA is notified of the divorce. This provision would be effective for final divorces that SSA is notified of on or after the date of enactment.
One-Year Delay in Benefit Recomputations
Benefit recomputations for workers who have earnings in years after the year in which they reach normal retirement age would not be effective until the second year following the year of higher earnings (rather than the following January), unless the year being replaced is a year of zero earnings.
- The provision applies to benefit recomputations based on wages or self-employment income earned after 1994.
Revocation by Clergy of Exemption from Social Security Coverage
- Clergymen who have elected to be exempted from Social Security coverage can request revocation of the exemption for a limited time. The revocation must be requested by the due date of the tax return for the second taxable year after the year of enactment (by April 15, 1998, if enactment occurs in 1995).
Continuing Disability, Renew (CDR) Administration Revolving Account for Title II Disability Benefits
- Establishes through FY 2002 a CDR Administration Revolving Account in the
Federal Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund as a source of non-appropriated
administrative funds to help finance DI CDRs. The account would be initially
funded with $300 million transferred from amounts otherwise available in the
DI Trust Fund and would thereafter be credited at the start of each fiscal year
with an amount equal to the estimated present value of savings to the OASDI
and Medicare Trust Funds (as certified by SSA's Chief Actuary) fiowing from
CDRs conducted in the prior fiscal year. Expenditures from the Account could be used only for the purpose of conducting CDRs.
- Requires explicit annual certifications from SSA's Chief Actuary. Therefore, the provision also establisbes statutorily the position of Chief Actuary.
- Requires the Commissioner to include in SSA's CDR Report to Congress a final accounting of the amounts transferred to the Account during the year, the amount made available from the Account during the year pursuant to certifications made by SSA's Chief Actuary, and the expenditures made for processing CDRs during the year, including a comparison of the number of CDRs conducted during the year with the estimated number of CDRs upon which the estimate for such expenditures was made.
- The provision is applicable only for fiscal years beginning on October 1, 1995,
through September 30, 2002, and sunsets October 1, 2002.
Elimination of the Role of SSA in Processing Attorney Fees
Eliminates the current law r equirement that SSA withhold and pay attorney fees. Caps the amount a representative may charge for representing claimants in cases in which SSA makes a favorable determination at the administrative level at $4,000. Provides that a court may determine and allow as part of its judgment a reasonable fee for claimant representation, whenever a court renders a favorable determination.
- Applies to initial claims filed and claims with first time representation 60 days on or after enactment.
Initial of Disability Benefits to Drug Addicts and Alcoholics
Prohibits DI and SSI eligibility to individuals whose drug addiction and or alcoholism (DAA) i s a contributing factor material to the finding of disability. This provision would apply with respect to monthly benefits for months beginning after enactment and to current beneficiaries on January 1, 1997. If current beneficiaries whose benefits terminate because of this provision reapply for benefits within 120 days after the date of enactment, SSA must make new medical determinations for such individuals no later than January 1, 1997.
Applies representative payee requirements to any DI or SSi beneficiary who has a DAA condition, as determined by the Commissioner, that prevents that beneficiary from managing benefits. SSA would refer, as appropriate, these individuals to the appropriate State agency for treatment. These provisions would apply to applications filed after the date of enactment.
Provides an appropriation of $100 million for each of FYs 1997 and 1998 to carry out activities relating to the treatment of drug and alcohol abuse under the Public Health Service Act.
Benefit and Tax Statements
Requires SSA to conduct a pilot study of the efficacy of providing retired workers with information about their Social Sceurity benfits and taxes. The study would involve a sample of retirement benficiaries whose entitlement began in or after 1984. SSA would ssend them estimates of their aggregate covered earnings, their aggregate Social Security taxes (including the employer share), and the total amount of benefits paid on their record.
The study would have to be conducted within a 2-year period beginning as soon as practicable in 1996 and a report on its results would be due to Congress within 60 days of its completion.
Other Recent Congressional Action:
On November 29, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Immigration approved S. 1394 which would impose new limits on the number of legal immigrants allowed into the U.S. each year. The Subcommittee also agreed to combine S. 1394 with S. 269 which, among other provisions, would restrict SSI benefits to noncitizens and establish an employment verification and benefit eligibility system (See Legislative Bulletin 104-8). The combined legislation will probably be taken up by the full committee early next year.

Nest adds a weatherproof camera to its smart home line-up
Type: Outdoor IP camera | Resolution: 1080p | Footage recording: Cloud | Audio: Two-way
Nest's stylish camera is backed up by the slickest companion app we've come across, while its Nest Aware service, which stores up to 30-days of footage in the cloud, is the most reliable and accessible around. The only problem is that it's also the most expensive and without paying for a subscription, you cannot access all of the camera's features.
The camera itself is very well specified, and for some folks, its integration with other Nest products, like the brand's smart thermostat, is what will give this device an extra edge over the competition.

In "The Final Years," See the Last Works of a Celebrated Japanese Painter and Set Designer
Kikuo Saito was a color field painter, set designer, and theater director, who began his career as a studio assistant for some of the most preeminent painters of the 1970s and '80s, including Larry Poons, Kenneth Noland, and Helen Frankenthaler. Saito's works are bright and calligraphic, often covered in gestural strokes of color, drips of paint, and stenciled capital letters. Before turning to painting, Saito was a resident at New York's La MaMa Experimental Theater Club, and collaborated on set design with directors and choreographers like Robert Wilson, Peter Brook, and Jerome Robins. Saito returned to the theater in 1996 with his silent production, Toy Garden, which costumed dancers as characters from Vittore Carpaccio's painting Two Venetian Women on a Terrace (1490) in an attempt to reimagine the work's missing half.

Howard Buffett says that no matter what you call it, transferring the right kind of agricultural technology to Third World countries is crucial if the world is to reduce hunger. And teaching farmers to produce more crops is a key ingredient in that effort. Buffett talked about feeding the hungry during a press briefing that followed his speech at the World Food Prize Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa.

Chronic ear infections and yeast problems are frequently a sign of allergies. Allergies are becoming more and more common and troublesome in companion animals. Please read the
short article on our site about Seasonal Allergies & Itching, as this will also apply to a
pet with chronic ear problems and should answer many of your questions.
The Truth About Pet Vaccinations
is another important article to look at. Over-vaccination can contribute to
many chronic health issues including ear infections, skin, allergy and immune problems.
Diet, digestive enzymes & probiotics, and essential fatty acids are the basics for treating
chronic ear infections caused by allergies:
Supplement your dog's diet with
Digestive Enzymes &
Probiotics. The probiotics are especially important for an animal that has been on antibiotics, as they kill the
beneficial gut flora and help set up conditions for the allergies to worsen. Continue to supplement with
digestive enzymes whenever you feed processed food to aid your pet's digestion and
assimilation of the nutrients in processed foods.
Supplement with Essential Fatty Acids (preferably fish oil) to nourish your
pet's skin and coat and help reduce inflammation
in the ears and digestive system. You can increase the dosage above what is recommended on the bottle, but if you see loose stools, then reduce the dosage a bit
until stools normalize.
You also might consider Only Natural Pet Immune Balance.
This supplement is discussed in our article, "Alleviating
Your Pet's Itchy Skin." It is typically recommended to continue using this supplement for 6 months, then taper off, and see if any symptoms return. All of this, however, needs to be done in conjunction with changing to a healthy diet.
If your pet also has digestive problems as is the case for many animals with
chronic ear infections and allergies, gastrointestinal supplements (especially Only Natural Pet GI Support) can be helpful.
Most animals with chronic ear infections caused by allergies have unhealthy gastrointestinal systems that are not able to digest food properly. A condition called "leaky gut" develops in which molecules that are too large for the body to process are allowed through the gut wall, setting off allergic reactions, which include chronic ear infections. The gut must be healed to finally eliminate the allergies. Digestive enzymes help break down the food so that there is less of a chance of the larger molecules passing through the intestinal walls, probiotics help restore a healthy balance of flora in the gut and aid digestion, and fatty acids help reduce inflammation and heal the gut as well as nourish the skin. (It is a long-term process, not like giving a medication to make symptoms go away.)
If you would like to consult with a holistically trained veterinarian, here is a link to the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association Referral Directory.
If there is not a holistic veterinarian within reasonable distance of your home,
many veterinarians will do phone consultations, so you may be able to consult with a holistic veterinarian practicing outside your home state.

NAA - Native American Arrowhead Series.
This series is comprised of 41 geocaches named after Native American arrowhead types, and placed along the entire stretch of Upper Lake Gulch Road. I enjoy looking for such artifacts when I'm not out finding caches, so I thought that I would bring two hobbies of mine together.
Upper Lake Gulch Road is a dirt road most of the way, so you won't have to deal with much traffic. Please be respectful to all of the places in which you will hunt, and come prepared with long pants and gloves (plenty of bushwhacking and thistles that you will have to deal with).
This series is also meant to be a slightly different style of "power trail." While most power trails consist of the same type of container being found over and over again, this series will feature a variety of containers and sizes with many different types of camouflage. I ask that you replace all containers as you found them.
Special thanks to poolsharkycat and imusttravel2000 for being the inspiration of this series with their power trails in Denver and on the Eastern Plains, featuring the variety of containers, sizes, and camos as well. Thanks also to brennan7, who supplied many of the different spice and pill bottles that you will see.
Good luck and enjoy the series!

Compliance matters
Wherever you operate mobile services, you must obey local telecommunication regulations. We can advise you on any aspect of your mobile campaign or billing service. Regulators publish guidelines that must be fully understood before you can use our platform. Operating a mobile service in one country may be very different to running one elsewhere.
This page contains some basic compliance information that may be of use to anyone wishing to run a service in Azerbaijan. However, you should always consult with your account manager or our support team before you launch to obtain more comprehensive guidance.
This is to protect us, your company, and all the consumers in Azerbaijan, where they expect a high quality service. Let us support you to get this right.
The national regulator for premium mobile telecommunications in Azerbaijan is The Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies of the Republic of Azerbaijan.. They have a code of conduct which governs what you can and cannot do with mobile services in that region. If you have any questions about these requirements, you can contact us at any time for further advice.
Opting in to your service
Consumers must demonstrate that they wish to use your service and that they give permission to be charged as appropriate. There are various ways in which consumers can "opt in" to a service, which varies country to country. You should ensure you understand the opt-in requirements for Azerbaijan before you launch.

Question: Is there a way to exploit the volatile September tendencies?
Answer: The SPX/OEX 1-5 strategy
Historically, September is the worst month for equities. It is the only month with a negative average return. In addition, people are so worried about crashes in October that they start trimming their holdings in September, often prompting a sell-off. Yet, some big gains have been made in September as well, making the negative bias no sure thing. September can be a frustrating time for bulls and bears. For example, while 2011 followed the script, the S&P 500 had an extremely strong month in September of 2010 (see "Back to school sale").
Given this history you just may want to avoid the potential September volatility, but there are strategies to exploit these tendencies. Through the strategic implementation of the "1-5 strategy," sound hedged positions can be initiated to leave an opportunity for profit. You no longer need to fear large swings.
One-five is an advanced option strategy that exploits the difference between the S&P 100 and S&P 500 markets — thus "1-5." What is at work here is the tendency of the SPX (S&P 500) to outperform the OEX (S&P100) in both advancing and declining markets. In other words, the SPX usually will fall faster (on a percentage basis) in bearish markets, and advance greater (on a percentage basis) in bullish markets.

Neither was having her 11-year-old daughter as a midwife. But the two worked together Thursday night in their Dallas home to bring baby Lucas into the world. Lucas Kenneth Klaus Dills weighs 6 lbs. 3 oz. Though two weeks premature, the newborn is healthy. He and his mother were expected to be released from CaroMont Regional Medical Center Saturday afternoon. Dills' husband, Jamie, was at work in Newton Thursday night. He walked to his car during his evening break and called his wife. Jessica had been hurting on and off for days, but she didn't expect what happened next. She and Jamie were talking on the phone when her water broke. Jessica was home alone with her oldest daughter, Ivy, 9-year-old Issabelle, and 6-year-old Eli. Jessica went to the bathroom to change her clothes. Ivy helped. But when the contractions started, Jessica braced herself. She sat on the bathroom floor and started telling Ivy what to do. Get clean towels. Grab the phone. Call 911. As her mother yelled out in pain, Ivy talked to the 911 operator. Issabelle tried to entertain her brother in the other room. Despite their best efforts, the scene turned chaotic. The children heard their mother screaming, and they started crying. Jessica put her pain aside and told the children to stop and listen. "It kind of stopped the panic," she said. Within 10 minutes, Jessica was holding her newborn son. She took the phone from Ivy and got instructions on what to do next. Ivy ran to find a shoestring to help her mother tie off the umbilical cord. Minutes later Jamie pulled into the driveway. He had darted from work the minute his wife's water broke. "I walked in and saw her there holding him in a towel," he said. "I missed the whole thing." An ambulance soon arrived and took Jessica and Lucas to the hospital. Friday morning, Jessica and Jamie cradled their baby boy in a hospital bed. The other children were at school. All attend Costner Elementary School. Jessica said there was no keeping the kids from going to school Friday morning regardless of their chaotic night. "They were ready to go. They had a story to tell," she said. Lucas is the Dills first child together. Ivy, Issabelle and Eli are Jessica's. She said all of her births have been relatively fast. This go-round was painful and unnerving, but Jessica said she tried not to get rattled. "I just went with the flow. It wasn't easy," she said. Jamie hated to miss the birth of his son, but he was grateful for a happy, healthy boy. He said he was proud of his wife. "I'm just glad she did as amazing as she did," he said. "I'm super proud of her and the kids."

I had went on a service call and one of the computers I had been working on a Windows 7 computer and was able to pretty much go on any website.
I had been asked to work replacing their router which had 4 Ethernet cables each for a computer on their network and one Ethernet cable that went to a Verizon box with a "faster" router ... what exactly the box did I'm not sure, but I was told that the coax cable that was to allow the Internet connection was connected to the box. In the directions for hooking up the new router it said to plug in the coax cable directly to the new router, but in order to do that I would have had to bypass the box by taking the coax cable out of the box and plugging it into the new router. Not knowing what the box was and not being able to contact Verizon due to the Holiday's I decided to hook back the older router which allowed the Internet connection again.
There was one issue I noticed; however, with one of the computers. It would allow the connection they needed to do regular tasks for conducting business by logging into the database system they used. It allowed one to go to Google and do a search, but after doing a search when you clicked on one of the resulting links it displayed a connection problem. I made sure to connect back the cables back the way they were with the older router and checked that IE was configured to connect with Enabling to Automatically Detect Settings. Also, another computer on the same network using the same router didn't have this problem.
My questions are:
1. Does anybody know what such a box would be used for?
2. Could it safely be bypassed?
3. Why would this be happening with Internet Explorer, and how could this be fixed?

With the cobwebs finally clearing from his devastating knockout loss against Ray Mercer, Tim Sylvia will try to regain some semblance of respect against Jason Riley at Adrenaline MMA's fourth event on September 18. Riley holds a 6-1 professional record, and went 4-0 as an amateur. All of his fights have taken place in Ohio, and he became the NAAFS heavyweight champion after knocking out Justin Black in April.
In other words, he has nowhere near the kind of high-profile, big-show experience that Tim Sylvia does. But you'll never go broke underestimating the Maine-iac. After all, this is a a guy who weighed in at a morbidly obese 310.6 pounds for his last fight in June, and will now have to get back into legitimate fighting shape just one month from now. Will Sylvia snap his three-fight losing streak, or will Riley make his name off of the former UFC heavyweight champ?
According to NWI.com, Adrenaline IV will go down at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and is likely to feature former UFC vets Jeremy Horn and Houston Alexander — even though Alexander hasn't been officially released from his UFC contract yet.

UFV routinely evaluates official transcripts* received from students enrolled in post-secondary programs other than vocational certificate programs. If you are a continuing student and have not had transfer credit evaluated, please submit a transcript from your institution. If you are enrolled in a vocational certificate program, please contact our credential evaluation staff in the Office of the Registrar at 604-854-4501 or toll-free (in Canada) 1-888-823-8734.
Official Transcript Guidelines
For students with post-secondary documents that originate outside Canada, a $75 document evaluation fee is charged for domestic students, and $250 for international students (one fee covers all transcripts submitted at one time).If you intend to use post-secondary credits from another institution toward a UFV credential, apply for transfer credit at least three to four months prior to application for graduation.It is not necessary to have your transfer credit assessed if you plan to transfer to and graduate from another institution, unless you require transfer credit to meet certain course prerequisites.Transfer credit can be assigned in several ways:
Determining transfer credit can sometimes be a lengthy process. If a course has not been previously articulated, you will need to submit a detailed course outline for the department to review, to determine transfer credit. To save time, we suggest you provide course outlines for courses taken outside BC when you submit your official transcript.For information about transfer credit from other BC institutions, consult the BC transfer guide.Once your transfer evaluation is complete, Admissions at the Office of the Registrar will contact you, usually at your UFV email address, letting you know that you can review your transfer credit through your myUFV account.
Transfer credit is awarded on an institutional basis, not for a specific program, so you may not be able to use all transfer credit granted towards a particular program. How much of your transfer credit can be applied to your program will depend upon the type of courses you transferred, and the amount of transfer credit that is permitted in your program. You should discuss how your transfer credit will apply to your program with the program head, program advisor, or an educational advisor in Student Services.The "residency requirement" for the program is the proportion of credit that must be taken at UFV. It varies from 25-50% of the credits required for a program.Check your myUFV record for your transfer credit. For enquiries, contact Admissions at the Office of the Registrar at 604-854-4501 or toll-free at 1-888-823-8734.View more information about high school transcripts.

At this time, mostly lower-level courses are listed. For information about transferring courses not found in the BC Transfer Guide, contact the institution you wish to attend.
Prior learning assessment is a process that can allow you to earn credit for skills and knowledge you already possess, regardless of how and where your learning took place. For more details, contact PLAR.
Advanced Placement (AP) courses may be used in place of regular grade 12 courses in the same discipline, either for meeting course prerequisites or meeting entrance requirements that include Approved Grade 12 courses.Transfer credit may be granted to students who complete certain Advanced Placement program (AP) examinations. Normally, a minimum grade of 4 is required for transfer for AP courses. Transferability of Advanced Placement courses is listed in the B.C. Transfer Guide at bctransferguide.ca under "Block, AP and IB Guides".To use AP courses at UFV, the following documentation is required:

Visiting students are students from another institution who register at UFV and who plan to transfer their UFV course(s) back to their "home" institution.
Visiting student status is only valid for one semester. Students wishing to apply for a subsequent semester will need to submit another application for admission to the semester they wish to attend.
All visiting students are required to present a letter of permission from their home institution in order to be considered for admission at UFV. This letter must be on institution letterhead and may be emailed from the home institution to email@example.com, faxed or mailed, or be brought in a sealed envelope from the home institution.
If you want to take a course at another post-secondary institution and apply that course to your program at UFV, you are strongly advised to complete a Request for Letter of Permission form (pdf). On the form, you will indicate which institution you want to attend, when, and which course(s) you plan to take. Submit the form to Admissions at the Office of the Registrar. We will determine the transferability of your requested course(s), and then forward the request form to your program head for approval. Once approval has been granted*, a letter of permission is emailed to you from the Office of the Registrar. You will need to show the letter to the institution you plan to attend. Please allow a few weeks to process your request. Then request an official transcript upon completion of the course(s), to be sent to UFV.Please note: Only UFV students who are in good standing are eligible to receive letters of permission. Students who are in academic difficulty (cumulative GPA less than 2.0 or on academic warning in their program), or new students who have not yet registered for UFV courses, will not normally be granted a letter of permission.

The Eagles have contacted the agent for Bills free agent linebacker Angelo Crowell but have not made a contract offer, NFL.com is reporting. Crowell is represented by Todd France, who also represents Brian Westbrook.
Crowell visited Detroit on Wednesday and Tampa Bay on Monday, according to the report. St. Louis also has expressed interest.
Crowell, 27, missed all of last season following knee surgery and is not expected to be cleared for full football workouts until after the draft.
He apparently surprised the Bills by having the arthroscopic surgery in late August. Although the surgery would have required a recovery period of one to four weeks, the team put him on injured reserve. That issue seemingly ensured that he would not be back in Buffalo when his contract expired.
He is listed at 6-1, 246 and was a third-round pick of the Bills in the 2003 draft.
A 5-year veteran, he had a career-high 126 tackles in 16 games in 2007. His older brother, Germane, is a former NFL wide receiver.

Prince George might be the most famous baby in the world, but even his royal pedigree can't protect him from the perils of teething.
At eight months old, the little guy is already sporting a few bottom chompers, and here's hoping that he (and Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge) will be spared any more toothy breakthroughs during their three-week trip to Australia and New Zealand.
If his gums do start bugging him, Chef Darren McGrady, who's worked at both Buckingham Palace and at Kensington Palace, says that the delightfully crunchy ANZAC (Australian New Zealand Army Corps) biscuit is a soothing solution for an angry teether.
McGrady, author of Eating Royally: Recipes and Remembrances from a Palace Kitchen, first made these biscuits for Queen Elizabeth during her visit to Australia in 1988. Since that visit coincided with Anzac Day as Kate and William's will, the Queen was curious about trying the country's famous Anzac biscuit.
But since they were traveling aboard Her Majesty's Royal Yacht Britannia, logistics were a bit tricky. "None of us knew what it was, and it was back in the eighties so we couldn't just Google the recipe and we were at sea so we couldn't even call anyone for it," McGrady tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview.
So McGrady took a quick boat ride over to the HMAS Canberra, a guided missile frigate of the Royal Australian Navy that was escorting the Britannia during the Queen's visit, and got a biscuit-making lesson from one of the chefs onboard. He then served them at afternoon tea on Anzac Day, which is a day of remembrance similar to Veterans' Day in the United States.
As for the Queen, she gave them her royal seal of approval: "She said 'it's a fabulous biscuit, it's crunchy and the texture is so nice' and suggested we add them to our regular afternoon tea repertoire at Buckingham Palace, which was exciting," McGrady says.
RELATED: Royal Recipe: Make Prince George's Christening Cake
McGrady suggests using an ice-cream scooper to form the dough into balls, since it can be quite crumbly. The biscuits are traditionally made without eggs to decrease their risk of spoiling, because they originally were sent to Anzac troops. So they're sturdy enough to withstand a long journey, whether it's for an army's tour of duty or a historic royal visit.
McGrady, who worked as the private chef for the late Princess Diana after she moved to Kensington Palace, also prepared these fast, easy biscuits for Prince William and Prince Harry when they were little. "With William currently in New Zealand, I just know that these are the perfect biscuits for George to be teething on," he said.

This past Thursday's USDA plantings and grain stocks reports did a number on grains. The reports showed domestic corn supplies (old crop) higher than expected, and corn plantings this year if recognized will be the highest since 1936. Friday corn dropped limit down and Soybeans slid. Corn closed Thursday at 695¼ and opened Monday's trading session at 679. Nice $0.16¼ gap. Today's price action moved DI Diff from below 5 to above 12.
Like corn we saw larger-than-expected US stockpiles of soybeans. Beans closed Thursday at 1404¾ and opened Monday's session at 1401½. No large gap here.
If corn moves and closes below 650 can 600 be that far off? That will depend on corn's planting season, which if compared to last year will be tough to beat. Last year we saw an incredible planting season for corn. And let's not forget about big money.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – In its first Northeast Fencing Conference competition of the season, the MIT men's fencing team went 3-2 at Brown University on Saturday. The Engineers (3-2) overpowered Boston University (23-4), UMass Amherst (23-4), and University of New Hampshire (20-7) but fell to Brandeis University (15-12) and Sacred Heart University (17-10).
The epee unit amassed a ledger of 33-12 on the strength of victories over BU (9-0), UMass (8-1), UNH (7-2), and Brandeis (6-3). Senior Joey Rafidi (Los Angeles, Calif.) turned in an 8-1 performance while freshman Sam Judd (Wyckoff, N.J.) had a 6-1 outing. Sophomores Giulio Gueltrini (Ravenna, Italy) and Dinis Cheian (Chisinau, Moldova) rounded out the team with totals of 10-4 and 9-6, respectively.
Senior Ehsan Izadmehr (Wayne, N.J.) paced the sabre squad with a tally of 13-2 as freshman Benjamin Lin (Beaverton, Ore.) went 12-3. Senior Luke O'Malley (Malibu, Calif.) notched a mark of 4-7 while sophomore Laphonchai Jirachuphun (Chantaburi, Thailand) won one of the four bouts he competed in. As a group, the Engineers finished with a total of 30-15 courtesy of an 8-1 decision over BU, a pair of 7-2 wins against UMass and UNH, and a 5-4 victory versus Sacred Heart.
The foil team cruised past UMass (8-1) and topped BU and UNH by 6-3 margins en route to a 25-20 record. Freshman Christopher McKinney (Concord, Mass.) led the way with a ledger of 12-1 while junior David Wyrobnik (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) finished at 7-8. Senior Jim Clark (Falls Church, Va.) produced a total of 3-3 as sophomore Dongliang Zhou (Hangzhou, China) went 3-8.
MIT will close out the fall semester action on Sunday, Dec. 8 at the Brandeis University Invitational.
