Sec. 31-307. Compensation for total incapacity. (a) If any injury for which compensation is provided under the provisions of this chapter results in total incapacity to work, the injured employee shall be paid a weekly compensation equal to seventy-five per cent of his average weekly earnings as of the date of the injury, calculated pursuant to section 31-310, after such earnings have been reduced by any deduction for federal or state taxes, or both, and for the federal Insurance Contributions Act made from such employee's total wages received during the period of calculation of the employee's average weekly wage pursuant to said section 31-310; but the compensation shall not be more than the maximum weekly benefit rate set forth in section 31-309 for the year in which the injury occurred. No employee entitled to compensation under this section shall receive less than twenty per cent of the maximum weekly compensation rate, as provided in section 31-309, provided the minimum payment shall not exceed seventy-five per cent of the employee's average weekly wage, as determined under section 31-310, and the compensation shall not continue longer than the period of total incapacity.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, any employee who suffers any injury or illness caused by his employer's violation of any health or safety regulation adopted pursuant to chapter 571 or adopted by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and listed in 29 CFR, Chapter XVII, after the violation has been cited in accordance with the provisions of section 31-375 or the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 84 Stat. 1601 (1970), 29 USC 658 and not abated within the time fixed by the citation, provided the citation has not been set aside by appeal to the appropriate agency or court having jurisdiction, shall receive a weekly compensation equal to one hundred per cent of the employee's average weekly earnings at the time of the injury or illness.
(c) The following injuries of any person shall be considered as causing total incapacity and compensation shall be paid accordingly: (1) Total and permanent loss of sight of both eyes, or the reduction to one-tenth or less of normal vision; (2) the loss of both feet at or above the ankle; (3) the loss of both hands at or above the wrist; (4) the loss of one foot at or above the ankle and one hand at or above the wrist; (5) any injury resulting in permanent and complete paralysis of the legs or arms or of one leg and one arm; (6) any injury resulting in incurable imbecility or mental illness.
(d) An employee who has suffered the loss or loss of the use of one of the members of his body, or part of one of the members of his body, or the reduction of vision in one eye to one-tenth or less of normal vision, shall not receive compensation for the later injury in excess of the compensation allowed for the injury when considered by itself and not in conjunction with the previous incapacity except as provided in this chapter.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes to the contrary, compensation paid to an employee for an employee's total incapacity shall be reduced while the employee is entitled to receive old age insurance benefits pursuant to the federal Social Security Act. The amount of each reduced workers' compensation payment shall equal the excess, if any, of the workers' compensation payment over the old age insurance benefits.

I think the Beach Patrol does a great job and I feel very safe on the beach because of it.
Beach Patrol an asset
I read with interest your story about the Volusia County Council debating if it's a good idea for the sheriff's department to take over the Beach Patrol. I noticed the story had a lot of comments from all the different political figures, but no comments from people that actually use the beach (the common citizen).
We own a condo unit in Daytona Beach and our unit overlooks one of the county public restroom buildings. There are a lot of strange people who hang out there on occasion. I've noticed that the Beach Patrol comes up very frequently to check things out, and keeps this problem in check.
Sometimes officers do not come much (not sure why, maybe short on staff or something) but when they don't come frequently, I've noticed a lot more strange goings-on there.
I think the Beach Patrol does a great job and I feel very safe on the beach because of it. I rent out two units to vacationers, and have had my renters comment to me how nice it is to see the Beach Patrol doing its job. Even though there have been mistakes in the past, I think the Beach Patrol does a good job, makes people feel safer and sometimes gets a bad rap in the paper.
Pocono Pines, Penn.
A recent letter writer feels the president is politicizing the recent killing of 20 children to encourage gun control.
Since when is the murder of 20 children a political event? Since when is murdering firemen a political event? Since when is murdering high school and college students a political event? Since when is murdering theatergoers a political event? Since when is murdering or attempting to kill someone a political event?
It is not politics, but guns, that kill or injure people. It is time for constructive debate on gun control.
Ormond Beach
First, let's take a minute and examine the language of proposed assault-weapons bans. The term "assault weapon" is a made-up term, used by lazy liberal journalists who think it distinguishes them from ordinary guns. They repeat the term endlessly until everyone within listening distance is also repeating it without thinking.
An assault weapon is anything used to assault another human being. It could be a kitchen knife or a piece of iron pipe. Rapid-fire automatic weapons have been banned since the 1930s, yet we are led to believe by Piers Morgan and even conservative news anchors that banning "assault weapons" removes the threat faced by the kids of Newtown or theatergoers in Aurora. This is a patently deceptive message by journalists with a liberal agenda.
Prior to Newtown, there was a mall shooting in Clackamas, Ore. in which just two people were killed. Why don't we hear from these same learned heads why the body count was so low? An armed bystander confronted the shooter, who then shot himself. Otherwise, the body count may have been much worse. This situation doesn't fit the agenda of the control crowd, who think more laws will make criminals respect them. That's why we don't hear more about the Oregon shootings.
Be careful when using language loosely. Words matter. They are used to make laws that matter, not laws that don't.

This module will cover best practice for glaucoma detection, investigation and monitoring methodologies used in both Optometry and Ophthalmology service. While discussing all of the treatment options, emphasis is placed upon the advanced optometric management of this group of disorders. Moreover, differential diagnosis of optic disc cupping will also be covered.
Principles of screening for glaucoma will be covered and their significance discussed in terms of standard diagnostic techniques; perimetry, intraocular pressure measurement and optic nerve head appearance. The limitations of these techniques will be discussed in the context of emerging technologies for the detection and monitoring of glaucoma. At the end of this module, candidates should be able to describe the types of glaucoma, understand their management and be able to select the appropriate diagnostic tests to efficiently diagnose glaucoma whilst understanding their limitations. The level of understanding achieved by candidates should enable them to take an active part in referral refinement and co-management schemes between Optometrists and Ophthalmologists. In some instances, education beyond current optometric practice is introduced in an effort to prepare the candidates for advanced clinical challenges that this group of disorders might show.

Alzheimer Society of Canada receives $1-million boost for research - Mother Parkers gift helps find a cure
Feb 13, 2013, 08:00 EST
TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2013 /CNW/ - Alzheimer's research received a huge boost today as one of Canada's iconic brands Mother Parkers donated $1 million to the Alzheimer Society of Canada. The donation represents the single largest contribution to the Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP), a peer-reviewed grant and awards program that supports Canada's top talent in bio-medical and quality-of-life research to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease and improve day-to-day care.
The $1-million gift is the culmination of Mother Parkers Remembers, a year-long campaign initiated by Co-CEOs Paul Higgins Jr. and Michael Higgins to commemorate the company's 100-year history and to honour the memory of their father, Paul Higgins Sr., who succumbed to Alzheimer's later in life.
"Dad's disease had a significant impact on the whole family and the company," says Paul Higgins Jr., Co-CEO, Mother Parkers. "It made sense that the money go to the Alzheimer Society because of their strong commitment to research. Our father would have been proud to know that this money will provide more opportunities for finding a cure."
Throughout the campaign, donations poured in from Mother Parkers' long-standing customers and suppliers from across Canada, including employees, friends and family. As part of the campaign, the Higgins restored their family's historic 1924 rail car, The Pacific, making special trips to and from key Canadian cities to raise funds, with in-kind support from CN, VIA and GO.
"The magnitude of the Higgins's generosity is a significant boost to our research efforts," says Mimi Lowi-Young, CEO, Alzheimer Society of Canada. "This is a fantastic time in dementia research. This gift will help our best and brightest minds continue to explore exciting avenues in the diagnosis, prevention and a cure for this disease. We're extremely grateful to Mother Parkers and all those who gave generously."
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Age is the biggest risk factor but it can also occur in people in their 40s. Of the top 10 death-causing diseases today, Alzheimer's remains incurable and will affect 1.4 million Canadians by 2031. The disease is also the least funded but its social and economic impact outstrips that of any other chronic condition, including all cancers combined.
"A million dollars is a powerful gift of hope," adds Lowi-Young. "It could one day lead to the breakthrough we desperately need."
About Mother Parkers:
Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee is a family-owned Canadian company and one of the largest private label coffee and tea manufacturers in North America. The Company also manufactures and markets its own brands under the Higgins & Burke, Mother Parkers, Brown Gold, and Martinson labels and has recently entered the single-serve market with their RealCup brand of hot beverage capsules. Established in 1912, Mother Parkers combines technology and new product innovation with years of experience to deliver a better beverage experience in mainstream and specialty coffee, tea and complimentary beverages.

Need some advice on a tank bag.2009 1200Rt. Don't want one too high, just for small items. Any ideas?
Need some advice on a tank bag.2009 1200Rt. Don't want one too high, just for small items. Any ideas?
By high -- do you mean too "tall" or "expensive"? I bought the BMW tank bag for my RT -- but it was expensive -- occasionally you might find a used one on ebay, but they go fast. Does a great job and is easily removed for fueling. It's expandable, too. Seemed tall and bulky at first, but I got accustomed to it and appreciate how much stuff it carries.
There are lots of other tank bag suggestions -- give the forum search tool a try if you don't find what you're looking for in the thread I provided..
John H | TexanRT | Lafayette | IBA
BMW K1600 GTL '18 | Honda Goldwing '12
I really didn't want a tank bag at all because they look out-of-place to me. But after a few weeks of riding, I realized the pure utility of them. I checked every forum and looked at dozens of web sites. Then I just sucked it up and went with the BMW bag for my '09 RT. In the end, I felt like nothing else would attach as simply, look like it belonged there, and remove easily for fueling. It was more expensive that any other option, but I'm happy with it.
I'd love to hear about other options and how they work out.
I really like my Wolfman Enduro, although I ride a GS. It is fairly small but still holds the necessities.
I own a Marsee tank bag and think it suits me just fine. Not too expensive, not too tall, turns into a backpack, came with a rain cover and a small bag that attaches to it for electronic items (cell phone, I-pod etc.) Bag can be attached to your belt, easy to move for refueling etc. etc.. Great quality. They have a variety of models, so you would be smart to check them out.
Good luck! Have fun! Ride safe!

I really like my Marsee 6L Caio Borsa tank bag. I ordered it from the factory installed with the Powerlet option. I've run a Powerlet cable up from the bike's accessory port, under the seat, under the fuel tank and cable-tied to the front. the bag plugs in there, and inside I have a split cig. lighter adapter, one for power to the cell phone and one to power my Garmin.
I ordered it with the Corona mount, so nothing is touching the gas tank except the locking ring around the fuel filler port. The bag is just right for carrying the small essentials, cell phone, a can of Plexus and a bottle of water. Also keep a cable in there to lock up my helmet/jacket/pants to the bike when I'm away.

Thanks guys XCN has been working hard behind the scenes too; do thank him as well.
To answer your question, Jecht2,
Spoiler for screenshots:
Without further ado, here is the latest preview build of Clannad FV, codenamed Starfish Senses. To use, extract the zipped files into your Clannad installation folder and replace the old ones. Warning: Old saved games are probably incompatible, but your progress (routes, CG, etc.) will be unaffected. Updating is not recommended if you're in the middle of a route; wait till you finish that route.
http://www.mediafire.com/?zb9p5xcv2sju5bc EDIT: http://clannad.game-maps.net/
(For the Full Voice version)
Features/bugfixes for players
- Decent-looking pranks menu
- Decent-looking pranks level-up banner
- No more perma-muted BGM after getting Fuko Master/Fuko Ninja
- No more missing lines of text
- Some improved translations (but there's a long way to go still)
Known issues
- Fast-forwarding stops at prank menus
- Prank menus aren't marked as a "Return to previous choice" point (but 6 out of 8 come immediately after another selection point. Does anybody mind?)
- Prank menus might have slightly reduced responsiveness for some when you try to bring up the right-click menu
Please help me test it out, and verify that the features work as they should. If you find that the prank menus are too unresponsive, please let me know. Comments, suggestions and requests are welcome.
Next planned update: Translated menus for Clannad VP

Need help :(
Hello I've just finished installing this and applied the voice patch, but when I started the game, the dialog was still in japanese (the main menu was in english though except for the config page), so then I downloaded the above files from
and extracted it into C:\KEY\CLANNAD folder and then when I start the game it opens up with a black screen and flower cursor only.. and sometimes it says "!" at the bottom. Then I tried the the next one
and now when I start the game it opens up with a black screen and my regular cursor (not a flower)
Heres a screenshot:
although that shot probably dosen't help that's all the comes up :/ heres a shot of the game folder because I'm not sure if this is supposed to be like this:

Hi shadyone,
There are 3 versions of Clannad:
You have the original version, but your first download link is the translated dialog for the Full Voice version (that's why you get a black screen) -- that file isn't useful to you.
Your second download link is the translated menus for the original version -- that file IS useful to you.
I haven't produced updated dialogs for the original version yet, but you can get an old copy (1.5 years old). Follow the directions at http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...24#post3504624, and you should be good to go.
Check back here once in a while; I'll post an update soon that fixes some issues like missing dialogue and unexpected muting of BGM.

I'm interested in buying the Memorial Edition of Clannad, but as for translations, I haven't found conclusive information of the translation's progress. I assume at least some version has been 100% translated. And all translation patches I've ran into are for either the original or Full Voice version. So, is there a translation patch for the Memorial Edition and how complete is it? If not, is there a way for a patch of another version to work with it, like the Full Voice version patch working with Memorial Edition? They're not much different right?
I haven't really acquaintanced myself with Clannad or Key's other work, just heard it's really good. I'd like to start with the original, even though I heard the anime is pretty loyal to it. I'm kind of torn between buying Clannad or the upcoming Rewrite, especially as the latter has Ryukishi07 writing some scenarios. I'm leaning towards Clannad, because it already has a translation, costs less and stuff. I'm trying to learn Japanese, so I'll read my next VN with dictionaries at hand if I have to, but I'd not like the feeling suffer from my language skills. I also like Clannad's uniform design better than in Rewrite, those pink garments are a bit distracting.

Hi Bluemail, there are currently 2 (maybe 3) obstacles:
1) I'm still looking for a way to get the translation tools to understand on the Memorial Edition's (ME's) game interpreter (the program that reads the data files and displays the story). Till then, no English patch can work on the ME. You're right about the similarity though; most of the Japanese data files are identical between FV and ME, and replacing/transferring a few files converts one version to another (if you ignore the FV's digital manual and player review form)
2) The translation quality is still poor, which spoilt the game experience for me. You said "I'd not like the feeling suffer from my language skills", so this issue will probably affect you too. My current (very rough) estimate for the time required to polish everything is 9 months.
3) The Memorial Edition introduced a "Japan only" lock that stops non-Japanese versions of WinXP from running the game. Changing your locale doesn't help. However, due to a programming bug, the lock fails on Vista/Win7. This MIGHT affect Rewrite too -- ask around before you buy if you have WinXP.
I have only played+watched Kanon and Clannad myself, but I can vouch for Key's skills in weaving stories. I'm sure you'll have a great read no matter which product you choose!
I'm inclined to play a VN before watching its anime too. For Kanon and Clannad, the animes are loyal in merging all routes into one coherent story, which I felt improved the presentation of each story... and after going through the "true end" with the on-screen characters, playing through the alternate routes again felt odd to me.

Thanks for replying!
There is a method mixing machine translation and rikaichan which I find promising, so I could use that to read Rewrite, and maybe wait for Clannad to get a satisfying patch.
Well technically I could get Clannad anytime afterwards, while now they have pre-orders for first press edition Rewrite. It is a bit expensive though, and I don't even know what extras it contains. And I fear they might release a better version later again (well, might happen with Clannad too, but Memorial Edition was 2010 already). I am however prepared to pay the same amount for the shipment whichever I choose, as I am going to order some manga volumes along with Clannad if I choose it. Or maybe I should buy both! Goodbye savings...
I'm also interested in other VNs after being struck hard by the atmospheric story of Umineko. Something with a mystery would be nice I guess, so I'd like to try those of Infinity series (Ever17 for example) or Chaos;Head (its anime was badly butchered, wasn't it?). Another VN I heard was good was Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo. The problem is, I can't find PC versions of them anywhere, at least something that ships them to Europe. With somewhat of a reasonable price. Anyone knows an online site where I could buy other VNs for PC? For I don't have a PSP, Playstation or Xbox, and they can't have translation patches can they?
EDIT: I think I heard somewhere that an official English patch for Clannad is in the plans. I might have read it wrong but does anyone have deeper knowledge?

Such a patch involves hacking the game engine to make it skip the Japan-region check. They're quite common (not just for VNs, but usually for piracy purposes), but I don't know if any exists for Rewrite.
To put things in perspective, original Clannad came out in 2004, then Full Voice in 2008, then Memorial Edition in 2010. The "better version" came in the form of Full Voice, with voice acting and higher-res graphics, 4 years after the initial release. There's no visible improvement for players from Full Voice to Memorial edition... just that those who bought the Key 10th Memorial Box got a boxful of VNs + memorabilia for an awesome price.
I bought Clannad from JBox; they seem to have a few other titles, including Remember11 (another mysterious Infinity title) which has an English patch available. For free VNs, try True Remembrance which has some good surprises, or Narcissu (1 and 2) for something to get you thinking about life, death and God.

The blood and shrapnel are finally gone.
But change is coming slowly at the Forum restaurant since one of the Boston Marathon bombs exploded outside its patio. The facade is still shrouded in black plywood, and its owner, Euz Azevedo, is waiting for new furniture and carpeting while slogging though a seemingly endless insurance process.
"I'd open tomorrow if I could," said Azevedo, a 33-year-old immigrant from Brazil. "But when this thing blew up, it blew shrapnel everywhere — all these little fragments went into the walls, all the wood, the floors and the ceiling."
The Forum is the only Boylston Street business yet to reopen since the April 15 bombings. But Azevedo is using the downtime to start fresh at the Forum — creating a brighter, bolder interior with no hint of the horrific suffering that unfolded on Marathon Monday. Several patrons and bystanders were badly injured outside the restaurant, leaving a trail of blood that seems impossible to forget, no matter how much new flooring is laid down.
"People will definitely still think about what happened, but I want them to see something new, something more colorful and happier," Azevedo said on a recent afternoon. "I'm hoping we can bring a little joy to people."
The alleged bombers, immigrant brothers from Kyrgyzstan, were said to be hostile to their adopted country. But Azevedo came to the United States at age 18 in 1998 and seized on the opportunities offered.
He earned an undergraduate degree from Fisher College in Boston and a master's degree in business administration from Northeastern University. In 2006, he bought The Tap, a Faneuil Hall bar, and then opened three more restaurants: Griddler's, Noche (since closed), and Forum, all of which operated under the umbrella of his company, Boston Nightlife Ventures.
It was video from the Forum's security cameras that helped investigators single out Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev as the bombing suspects. In the government's complaint charging Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, prosecutors said footage from the Forum's camera shows the brothers carrying backpack bombs along Boylston Street in the minutes before the explosions and then the younger of the two dropping his bag onto the pavement outside the restaurant before swiftly walking away.
"One of the things that has helped me rest easier is knowing that I somehow played a small role in getting these guys," Azevedo said. "Even the FBI was like, 'The cameras were awesome, guys. Thank you very much.' "
The explosion instantly turned Azevedo's flagship eatery — a cavernous two-floor space overlooking Boylston Street — into a scene of bloody chaos.
Manager Chris Loper said he was going into the restaurant from a back alley when he heard the blast and felt the building shake at about 2:50 p.m. A moment of stunned silence was followed by frantic evacuation, with Loper helping people out the back door. He then rushed to the front of the restaurant and saw wounded patrons and bystanders, some with missing limbs and bleeding profusely, many in shock.
Loper and another manager used some curtains for rags, while several pulled off their belts to make tourniquets.
"We brought out ice and as many linens as we could find," Loper said. "People just held on to the victims until help arrived."
Two of the restaurant's employees were injured by the bombs, but both are expected to recover fully.
The damage to the restaurant was extensive. Its front windows were blown out, and shrapnel was embedded in the furniture, murals, and ceiling. For 10 days, Azevedo and his staff were unable to get inside while the FBI collected evidence. Investigators ripped out the carpet on the second floor and plucked out bomb fragments all over the restaurant.
The blur of those first days gave way to the cold reality of rebuilding. He first threw out the leftover food and then spent two weeks photographing the damage and tabulating his losses for the insurance company.
That pushed back the repairs, and he and his carrier are still negotiating what will be covered. More recently, he has been huddling with designers and pressing ahead with renovations but is unsure about when the Forum will reopen.
In the meantime, Azevedo is trying to help a staff that has been out of work for six weeks. He is still paying his managers and trying to find shifts for wait staff and bartenders at his other restaurants.
His new chef, Matthew Barros, is also revamping the Forum's menu, testing new dishes at sold-out fund-raising dinners at the company's other restaurants, such as Noche, to benefit the staff and the bombing victims. Letters of support have poured in from around the world, including e-mails from North Dakota, Alaska, New Zealand, and Australia.
"It's basically the same message from everywhere: 'God bless you, and we're thinking about you,' Azevedo said. "It's really been quite humbling."
Azevedo said he is hoping to give back with a series of events later this summer, marking the Forum's reopening. One of the first will be a fund-raiser for the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, which provides money to help cancer patients and their families.
The foundation had been holding an event at the Forum on Marathon Monday when the bomb went off.
"We want to finish what we started, but couldn't finish that day," Azevedo said. "We're going to reopen in a way that will erase all the negative vibes that are still lingering. I'm very much looking forward to it."Casey Ross can be reached at email@example.com.

Game On Dude didn't quite have enough game. Mucho Macho Man had insufficient macho.
And so Saturday's Breeders' Cup Classic, a Hollywood show taking place before 55,123 well-dressed and well-entertained people at a horse track long established in star-studded Los Angeles as the Great Race Place, got its best moment via a wonderful little old lady from Kansas.
Janis Whitham's Fort Larned won the Classic, the $3 million that comes with that, and the affection of thousands of new race fans.
Fort Larned seemed to be one of the other horses filling a race field expected to be dominated by celebrity horse Game On Dude, owned in part by celebrity baseball legend Joe Torre and prepared by celebrity trainer Bob Baffert. Game On Dude took a run at the front going into the second turn. Fort Larned had jumped on the lead and never relinquished it. Mucho Macho Man, with jockey Mike Smith putting trainer Kathy Ritvo's horse in perfect position on Fort Larned's shoulder, had been there for most of the race too.

Every other week or so, fifth-grader Hayley Faith Negrin of Weston hops on a Metro North train with her mom after school and heads to a studio in Brooklyn.
Somewhere along the way, the perky 10-year-old becomes the even perkier and younger voice of the newest PBS kids show "Peg + Cat," which premieres on Oct. 7.
The new animated math series may concentrate on the solutions to real-life math problems, but it also includes such whimsical turns as the talking-cat companion of the title and a pig who sings opera.

By bowing out of the MLS Cup Playoffs in the knockout match last week, the Colorado Rapids now know they'll once again hold the #11 pick in January's draft.
MLS has yet to reveal details of the annual draft, but going off the 2013 edition, the first nine selections were held by clubs that did not qualify for the 2012 Playoffs, in reverse order of regular season finish. The remaining 10 positions went to the clubs that were eliminated in the same round of the 2012 Playoffs, also in reverse order of regular season finish.
Assuming the same rules apply for the 2014 draft, in the Rapids case, their playoff run ended in the same round as Montreal's. However, since the Impact finished with 49 points in the regular season, two fewer than Colorado, Montreal would hold the 10th pick and Colorado the 11th selection.
The Rapids also had the 11th pick in the most recent draft, where they selected midfielder Dillon Powers from the University of Notre Dame. Powers went on to have an outstanding rookie season, scoring five goals and adding six assists on his way to being named the team's Most Valuable Player and a leading candidate for the MLS Rookie of the Year.
The 11th pick has introduced solid players to MLS in previous drafts, with players such as Ross Paule, Tyrone Marshall, Evan Whitfield, Sasha Victorine, Brian Carroll, and Scott Sealy all playing at least seven seasons in MLS, and more recent #11 selections Roger Espinoza, Jeremy Hall, David Estrada, Will Bruin, and Matt Hedges all playing key roles on MLS teams or in Europe.
Extra Note: The Rapids also hold two picks in the second round of the 2014 draft. The team traded their own natural pick second round to Vancouver in January of 2012 for allocation money, however Colorado hold both the Houston Dynamo's and LA Galaxy's second round picks.
In February of 2012, Colorado traded forward Mac Kandji to Houston for a conditional pick in the 2014 draft. Kandji played in 34 regular season and playoff games combined for Houston in 2012 before leaving for Greece when his contract ended, thus meeting the conditions which resulted in Houston surrendering their natural second round 2014 pick to Colorado.
In June 2013, Colorado acquired the Galaxy's natural 2014 second round pick in the trade that sent Pablo Mastroeni to LA.

This plea asks residents of the western part of Massachusetts to be generous with donations toward famine relief for Ireland. Articles in previous issues of the newspaper had reported on money that had been raised. This appeal asks for donations of food and clothing, not money. The writer thinks that everyone should be able to spare at least a bag of corn or some "half-worn garment." He felt the railroads would be happy to carry these goods to Boston for free. He further goes on to say that the goods would do the most good in the town of Bantry, where they would be distributed in a fair manner.

Spearheaded by Irvine-based Marketplace Events, the inaugural American International Motorcycle Expo rolled in to Orlando, Fla., on Wednesday, where several motorcycle companies used the show to unveil new two-wheeled products.
A trade show fused with a consumer motorcycle show, the five-day AIMExpo is the first new U.S. motorcycle show in decades.
Following are highlights from AIMExpo's opening day.
Since Harley-Davidson terminated Buell Motorcycle Co. in October 2009, Erik Buell Racing has risen like a phoenix to take its place. On Wednesday, the Wisconsin company spearheaded by retired Superbike racer and namesake Erik Buell unveiled its new EBR 1190RX sport bike – a street-legal descendant of the 1190RS Super Bike limited-edition racer introduced at the Long Beach International Motorcycle Shows last December.
Priced at $18,995 and powered with a 1,190 cc V-twin that makes 185 horsepower and 102 pound-feet of torque, the 419-pound 1190RX is designed with a user-friendly, wide torque band that's paired with 21 traction control settings that can be matched to riders' abilities and road conditions.
Like any modern sport bike worth its horsepower rating, the 1190RX's electronic controls can access track data and also inform the rider of the bike's service needs. EBR estimates fuel economy at 40 mpg combined. Production is slated to begin in December at EBR's East Troy, Wis., headquarters.
India's largest maker of motorized two-wheelers, Hero MotoCorp is also a 49.2 percent stakeholder in Erik Buell Racing. During AIMExpo, the company announced plans to introduce "high-quality, high-value, small-displacement motorcycles and scooters" to the U.S., with EBR handling exclusive distribution in North America. Originally founded as a joint venture between Hero Cycles in India and Honda of Japan in 1984, Hero MotoCorp separated from Honda in 2010. In almost 30 years, it has produced about 50 million motorcycles and scooters.
Suzuki unveiled the update of its V-Strom 1000 adventure bike with ABS and, for the first time on a Suzuki motorcycle, traction control. Powered with a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 1,037 cc V-twin mated with a six-speed transmission and new slipper clutch, the 2014 V-Strom 1000 ABS traction control system can be operated in two modes or turned off entirely with the flip of a handlebar switch.
At 503 pounds, the 2014 V-Strom is 17 pounds lighter than the outgoing model, but buyers will be tempted to pack the pounds back on with various accessories. Saddlebags and a top case are available. The patent-pending ratcheting and spring-loaded windscreen, with three adjustable angles and three adjustable screen heights, is stock. Delivery is expected in February. Pricing wasn't announced.
Suzuki also pulled the wraps off a new 200 cc version of its popular Burgman maxi scooters, which have long come in 400 cc and 650 cc displacements. The 2014 Burgman 200 ABS is powered with a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 200 cc single cylinder. Weighing 359 pounds, the 2014 Burgman 200 ABS uses a continuously variable transmission and is belt driven. Pricing and availability were not announced.
Yamaha Motor Corp.'s cruiser division, Star Motorcycles, didn't reveal any new bikes, unless you count the many customized Bolts, including one ridden onto the carpet by racing legend Kenny Roberts. His was customized with a blacked-out exhaust and checkered yellow paint. Another Bolt was customized scrambler style, with retro '70s gold paint, blacked-out race plates and an aftermarket exhaust.

South Plains College Foundation Investment and Spending Policy
The South Plains College Foundation is a publicly-supported foundation whose purpose is to attract charitable contributions, prudently invest and administer Foundation funds, and financially support the objectives of the Foundation.
The purposes of this Investment and Spending Policy are to:
- Establish the philosophy and investment objectives for the Foundation, its Board of Directors, donors, grantees and investment managers.
- Serve as the basis for assessing and monitoring the performance and progress of each investment manager.
The Board of Directors of the South Plains College Foundation has, in addition to its other responsibilities, the responsibility for the following:
- Establishing overall financial objectives and the setting of investment policy, within the scope of their authority.
- Obtaining high quality investment management.
- Monitoring performance to see if the objectives are being met and if policy and guidelines are being followed.
- Recommending appropriate action if objectives are not being met or if policy and guidelines are not being followed.
The investment manager(s) will be responsible for determining the investment strategy and implementing security selection within the policy and guideline limitations.
This Investment Policy statement applies only to those assets for which the investment manager(s) and the Foundation have discretionary authority. For other assets, the investment policies are continued within the individual donor agreements.
Investment Objectives
- Primarily to provide long-term growth in fund assets with preservation of capital and purchasing power.
- Secondarily to provide sufficient current income to support activities of the Foundation.
- Regarding the fixed-income portion of the investment portfolio, the objective is a stable and secure return with limited interest rate risk and controlled credit risk.
- Regarding the equity portion of the investment portfolio, the objective is a total return which, over the long run, will perform comparable to or exceed the Standard & Poor's 500 Market Index at a level of risk commensurate with the Index.
Investment Management Guidelines
Asset Allocation
It is expected that the investment portfolio will be well-diversified among equity securities, fixed-income securities and cash equivalents. Consistent with the investment objectives previously defined, the following asset mix parameters have been determined in the following table:
Asset Class
|Fixed Income
|Barclays Aggregate
|Core Bonds
|Distressed Debt
|Direct Alternatives
1 Equities performance will be broadly measured against the S&P 500. Sub Strategies
within Equities will also be evaluated against their relevant market benchmarks, i.e.
International to MSCI World ex US, etc.
It is expected that the asset mix will be altered to either reduce market risk or optimize opportunities to capitalize on expected market movement. The investment manager(s) will have discretion with regard to individual asset selection, although risk should be minimized through prudent diversification, both among individual assets and by asset class.
Philosophy – Equity Investments
A. The management policy to be followed should be disciplined and consistent. It should accommodate all those events and occurrences considered reasonable and not contrary to the philosophy of the South Plains College Foundation, which is to invest funds at a prudent level of risk.
B. Policies applying to Equity Investments
- Industry and company investments shall be based upon demonstrable analysis of prospects for above-average return over a three- to five-year period. Emphasis should be placed on growth of earnings. Portfolio turnover will be carefully monitored by the Treasurer.
- Investments shall be made in well-seasoned, quality companies with securities which have sufficient market capitalization to enjoy good marketability. No more than 5% (at time of investment) of the net assets of the Foundation shall be invested in securities of issuers having a record less than three years' operations.
- Concentration in any single industry and in any company shall not exceed 15% and 5% respectively of the market value of the Foundation at the time of investment.
C. The investment portfolio should be diversified as to equity holdings. The purpose of this diversification is to provide reasonable assurances that no single security or class of securities will have a disproportionate impact on the total portfolio. Diversification will also be achieved by using two or more managers whose styles and investment strategies are sufficiently distinctive to justify their employment.
Philosophy – Fixed Income Investments
Policies applying to Fixed Income Securities
- The fixed income portfolio shall be diversified between different sectors (Governments, Agencies, Corporates) and different issues within each sector with no one issue comprising more than 10% of the aggregate fixed income portfolio.
- A minimum of $ 50,000,000 outstanding in each debt issue and call protection emphasized to assure stable, current income and marketability.
Philosophy – Alternatives
Direct Alternatives may include:
Private Capital Partnerships - Investment allocations may include venture capital, private equity and international
private capital investments, held in the form of professionally managed pooled limited
partnership investments. Such investments must be made through funds offered by professional
investment managers.
Marketable Alternative Strategies - Investments may include equity-oriented or market-neutral hedge funds (i.e. Long/Short,
Macro Event Driven, Convertible Arbitrage, and Fixed Income strategies), which can
be both domestic and international market oriented. These components may be viewed
as equity-like or fixed income-like strategies as defined by their structures and
Natural Resources – Investments may include oil, gas, and timber investments, held in the form of professionally
managed pooled limited partnership investments. Such investments must be made through
funds offered by professional investment managers.
Real Estate - Investments may include equity real estate, held in the form of professionally
managed, income producing commercial and residential property. Such investment may
be made only through professionally managed pooled real estate investment funds, as
offered by leading real estate managers with proven tracks records.
Derivatives and Derivative Securities - Certain of the Fund's managers will be permitted under the terms of their specific investment guidelines to use derivative instruments. Derivatives are contracts or securities whose market value is related to the value of another security, index, or financial instrument. Investments in derivatives include (but are not limited to) futures, forwards, options, options on futures, warrants, and interest-only and principal-only strips. No derivative positions can be established that create portfolio characteristics outside of portfolio guidelines.
Tax Considerations
The South Plains College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) corporation. Therefore, tax-exempt securities are not appropriate.
Review Procedures
The investment manager(s) or their representative will meet with the Investment and Finance Committee at least annually for the purpose of evaluating the continuation of investment manager(s). The evaluation of the manager(s) will focus on:
- Adherence to investment policies and guidelines.
- Appropriate communications and reporting to the SPC Foundation.
- Comparison of investment results against relevant market indices.
- Cost of investment manager services.
- The current market outlook.
Following the annual review, the Investment and Finance Committee will make its recommendation to the Foundation Board of Directors for the continuation of investment manager(s), subject to Board approval.
Spending Policy
Based on the above-stated objectives, the current spending policy shall be expressed as a maximum of 5% of a three-year moving average of the market value of Foundation assets. Such a policy will allow for greater predictability of spendable income for budgeting purposes and for gradual, steady growth for the support of objectives by the investable assets. In addition, this policy will minimize the probability of invading the principal over the long term.
Since there may occasionally be situations requiring a higher percentage of spending from investable assets, in order to assure the short-term economic viability of the objectives, the Finance and Investment Committee is authorized to increase the spending rate as necessary on a temporary basis. Such an increase should not be undertaken without clearly justifiable cause and in no case shall exceed the 6% level without explicit approval of the Board of Directors since spending above this level results in an increasing probability of invasion of the principal value of investable assets in real terms.
Spending from Underwater Endowment Funds
Spending may take place from an underwater endowment fund, subject to the rule of prudence and the guidelines set forth in the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (2006), so long as such action is determined to be prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes and duration for which the endowment fund is established. In making a determination to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund, the Finance and Investment Committee and Board of Directors shall act in good faith, with the care than an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and shall consider, if relevant, the following factors:
- duration and preservation of the endowment fund;
- the purposes of the institution and the endowment fund;
- general economic conditions;
- effect of inflation or deflation;
- the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments;
- other resources of the institution;
- the investment policy of the institution.
All expenditures from endowment funds are subject to the approval of the Foundation Board of Directors.
Revised 2/10/2010 by the Finance and Investment Committee
Approved by the Board of Directors 3/30/2010

After installing SP1 to SQL Server 2012 (11.0.3000) on one of our servers, I noticed higher than normal CPU loads due to msiexec.exe running non-stop. The cpu percentage would bounce from 0% to 13%, and the application log would have five new entries about MsiInstaller and RestartManager about every 30 seconds. There is a Connect bug about it at msiexec.exe processes keep running after installation of SQL Server 2012 SP1, and a fix has just been released at Non Security Update for SQL Server 2012 SP1 (KB2793634).
After installing the fix, SQL Server will be at version 11.0.3128, you will no longer see msiexec.exe running, those log entries will stop, and your CPU usage will drop.

NHL, players talking about talking
The NHL and the NHL Players' Association held talks Sunday to try to set up talks.
If you're confused, don't worry. You're not alone.
But as the two sides try to get a collective bargaining agreement in place they exchanged phone calls and e-mails on the weekend and it looks like they could meet again Wednesday in New York. Details are expected to be worked out Monday.
After holding an unannounced meeting Friday at the NHLPA's office in Toronto, the two sides agreed to keep in touch to see if there was any reason they could get back to the table this week to try to hammer out a new CBA.
While Friday's meeting was characterized by both sides as an attempt to "move the process" forward, it's believed not a lot of progress was made because the NHL still expects the NHLPA to come forward with a new proposal.
The NHL insists it won't claw back any further on the offer it made Sept. 12 during a meeting in New York.
Union head Donald Fehr has been crafting a new offer for the league, but after a conference call with more than 60 players a week ago, the feeling was the NHLPA had gone far enough to try to get a deal done and shouldn't give up anything further.

So many genealogical societies have FB pages -- so little time!
I just spent some time on Facebook (I typically try to "limit" my time on the site to a few minutes early in the day and a few minutes later in the day
For a lark, I decided to search on the term "genealogical." I was pleasantly surprised to see that many many "genealogical societies" now have a Facebook presence. Check out the images showing just a "fraction" of the societies I found listed. As you can also see, I have "liked" only a few. Part of that is relevance to the research that I do and part of it is there are only so many minutes (cough hours) in the day that I can spend on Facebook.
Don't forget that NGS has a Facebook page. In fact, every post from this blog is cross-posted to this Facebook page.
Are you on Facebook? If so, besides access to the news of genealogical societies and related services, why are you on Facebook? For someone who has not yet joined Facebook, from a genealogical and family history perspective, why might they join?

Street Address:
DENVER (AP) – Sitting quietly at his locker, Andre Miller tore the stat sheet into shreds and put the bits of paper in the trash.
He knew that the last of his six turnovers cost the Denver Nuggets a potential game-tying shot in the final seconds.
O.J. Mayo also was mad at himself for committing six turnovers, but at least he could take satisfaction – and considerable satisfaction at that – in his shooting touch.
Mayo matched his season high with 22 points, including a critical 3-pointer in the closing seconds and the Memphis Grizzlies hung on to beat the Nuggets 94-91 on Sunday night to sweep the three-game regular-season series for the first time in their history.
"I definitely did have it going," said Mayo, who came off the bench. "So mad, had so many turnovers. I know how important it is to take care of the ball when you're playing the one (position) and I failed in that area. I'm happy it didn't cause us to lose."
Mike Conley, who returned to play after suffering a cut above his right eye, had 13 points. Dante Cunningham added 12 points and Tony Allen 10 for the Grizzlies, who also snapped an eight-game losing streak in Denver.
"O.J. was super. He carried us tonight," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "He was the man. I was really upset with our guys early. I didn't take them out to rest them. I took them out because we weren't competing like I thought we should. As soon as that other group came in, they got us back in the game. I could see I was going to need the bench a lot more tonight and they produced. It was good to see."
Nene, Al Harrington and Corey Brewer each scored 15 for the Nuggets, who dropped to 2-2 on a season-high nine-game homestand.
Memphis stretched its lead to 85-80 after Allen hit a 21-foot jumper with 6:20 remaining. But the Nuggets fought back to within a point at 88-87 when Ty Lawson connected on a 3-pointer with 2:55 left.
The teams traded free throw shots over the next two minutes before Mayo drained a 3-pointer with 57 seconds remaining to put the Grizzlies up 94-89.
Nene and Brewer each hit one of their two free throws in the final 40 seconds, pulling the Nuggets within three. After a Memphis miss, Denver rushed up the floor in the waning seconds but failed to get off shot after Miller lost the ball.
"I just fumbled the ball, that's all," said Miller, who also had 14 points, three steals and seven assists. "In that case, you don't want to give the team an opportunity to set up on defense. I fumbled the ball and that was the game."
Nuggets coach George Karl afterward had second thoughts about his strategy to push the ball upcourt immediately after Harrington rebounded Cunningham's missed shot with about 9 seconds remaining.
"In hindsight, I should have called a timeout," Karl said.
The bottom line for Karl, though, was that the Nuggets, who had 24 turnovers, committed too many giveaways, a thread that ran through all three of their losses to the defensive-minded Grizzlies.
"We lose because we throw away too many possessions," Karl said.
Memphis had 21 turnovers of its own, but still managed to come out on top.
"This is a tough environment to play in, a tough team to play," Conley said of the Nuggets. "They've been playing very well. This is a huge win for us."
Trailing 58-55 after Nene made a pair of free throws, Memphis went on a 14-1 tear to grab a 69-59 lead with 3:35 left in the third, their biggest lead to that point. But they lost Mike Conley during the surge, when he had to leave the game for the locker room to have a cut over his right eye treated. Conley returned early in the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets got back into it with a 9-0 run of their own, capped by Arron Afflalo's 20-foot jumper pulling Denver to within 69-68. Mayo hit a long jumper to stall Denver's momentum and the Grizzlies held a 73-70 lead going into the fourth.
Denver led 53-50 at halftime, helped by Nene, who broke through for a pair of dunks and hit two free throws during the last 2:18 of the second period.
Notes: The Nuggets' Timofey Mozgov (left ankle), Kosta Koufos (left knee) and Rudy Fernandez (lower back) remain sidelined. ... Memphis has won 10 of its last 12 games. ... Denver was playing the first of five straight games against winning teams. Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Boston and Dallas are next. ... All three of Memphis' wins over Denver this season were by three or fewer points.
