Industries Environmental Documents
Final Environmental Impact Statement for theToledo Bend Hydroelectric Project
Project No. 2305-036
Issued: December 20, 2013
Commission Staff prepared a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the relicensing of the Sabine River Authority of Texas and Sabine River Authority, State of Louisianas (Authorities) existing 81-megawatt (MW) Toledo Bend Project No. 2305-036. The Authorities filed its relicensing application on September 30, 2011. The draft EIS was issued on June 14, 2013.
The existing project is located on the Sabine River between river mile (RM) 147 and RM 279, affecting lands and waters in Panola, Shelby, Sabine, and Newton Counties, Texas, and De Soto, Sabine, and Vernon Parishes, Louisiana. The project occupies lands within the Sabine National Forest in Texas and the Indian Mounds Wilderness Area, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture--Forest Service. The Authorities propose to install a minimum flow turbine that would increase the projects capacity to 82.3 MW.
Settlement agreements were reached with the Forest Service on recreation, shoreline erosion, and invasive species and with the other stakeholders on aquatic issues.
The final EIS recommends adopting most of the provisions of the settlements, including increased minimum flows in the spillway channel, decreases in maximum flow releases from the powerhouse, supplemental weekend releases, eel passage, cofferdam monitoring to maintain downstream dissolved oxygen levels, invasive plant control on Forest Service lands, erosion monitoring on Forest Service lands, and a Forest Service Recreation Facilities Plan. The final EIS also recommends the Authorities proposed plans for Recreation Management, Shoreline Management, and Historic Properties Management that are not part of the settlement.
The final EIS recommends the following modifications to settlement measures: (1) additional cofferdam monitoring should include bathymetric surveys; and (2) the Authorities should be responsible for invasive plant control instead of paying Forest Service $20,000 annually. Additional staff-recommended measures include increased whitewater boating access to the spillway channel, invasive plant control and erosion monitoring on lands owned by the Authorities, and bald eagle protection measures.
In the final EIS, Commission staff recommended the staff alternative, which consists of measures included in the Authorities proposal, as well as the mandatory conditions and recommendations made by state and federal agencies and non-governmental organizations, and some additional measures developed by the staff.

Last night (02/17), the Montreal Canadiens suffered yet another defeat this season, this time at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche. In the words of head coach, Michel Therrien, "it's too bad an individual mistake cost us the game". PK Subban lost the puck and Avs scored, so to punish the star defenseman he was benched for the last few minutes of the game, and in the post-game scrimmage his coach threw him under the bus. (Nevermind that Subban is the team's point leader and has been involved in 61.3% of the team's goals). Now this is not the first time Therrien has attributed the team's poor form on individual players. Indeed, it may be the case that some players just aren't cutting it and you can rip them to shreds for that in private, but in the public eye you ought to take the loss as a team, as a unit, because that's what you are. Or at least what you're supposed to be.
The team started the season in a blaze of glory, their best in franchise history, then they lost Carey Price and Brendan Gallagher to injury and it's been a slippery slope from there. Let's be real – you weren't winning because of Price, he was the only thing that stopped you from losing! The team is lacking in offensive prowess but these problems can't be easily solved when Therrien is reluctant to provide rookies an opportunity, demonstrates poor utilization of players like Galchenyuk and favors Weise and Desharnais. He has already shown a terrible response following Galchenyuk's girlfriend assaulting him by announcing "he'll learn". (This post goes into it in more detail). Therrien's public treatment of players runs the risk of him being shut out of the dressing room as Darryl Sutter was by the LA Kings. When speaking of Lars Eller, the coach had this to say:
"To be on top of his game, he has to be responsible defensively. I trust Plekanec, I trust Desharnais."
The coach recently had the team do suicide sprints on the ice to send a message. What message? That you are an incompetent coach? That you're stubborn as hell? These are professional athletes whose fitness should be no issue, but suicides are awful and clearly Therrien is using it as a form of punishment. Let's not focus on our terrible powerplay, instead you can do something unproductive as punishment. The message is clear: Winning doesn't matter, the points don't matter, me being in charge matters. A coach should be in charge and respected, but respect is earned. I would argue that the team's cohesiveness will have taken a big hit this season, but when your coach is coming out and attacking individual players in public, maybe they are all working and hoping for his firing.
The only thing I #BlameSubban for is the fact the Habs aren't dead last in the league. He's saved your asses over and over again, is met with racist crap constantly, shows great humility despite his coach's treatment, and is an overall wonderful human.

Who can resist a tropical tipple served in a novelty ceramic tiki mug?
The Cliff Dive in Darlinghurst has recently launched Yurippi, an underground tuck shop which offers a more relaxed lounge vibe for a early evening catch up and a cocktail or two.
There's an extensive cocktail list, created by Michael Chiem (ex Sokyo, Black & Bulletin Place) who is the creative drinks director. It's a tough task choosing from the menu as all the cocktails sound tempting!
These colourful garlic crackers are dangerously addictive and a welcome distraction to our drink indecisiveness.
Pina Colada
The Cliff Dive's pina colada is impressive served in a impeccably hollowed out pineapple; it is served with Bacardi, 151, coconut salted pineapple and chinese five spice.
Random tangent - Every time I think of pina coladas, the 70's song by Rupert Holmes often pops in my head "If you like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain..." ♪♪
Don the Beachcomber's Zombie
Bacardi, Appleton Falernum, Pernod Grenadine & citrus. The cinnamon dusted slice of orange on the top adds a lovely fragrant touch.
I adore the cocktails here; well crafted, with good quality, balanced flavours, and the custom-made ceramic tiki mugs are very cute!
Yurippi is all about street food with a South East Asian island touch. Chef Honky has been inspired by his time frequenting yakitori bars in Japan, and wanted to bring the skewers concept back to Australia.
The Hungry Honky
This neat little platter of goodies include: one of each skewer, pickled vegies and coconut pandan rice.
To complement the drinks served at The Cliff Dive, Honky worked with his network of Sydney chefs on a menu that incorporates the sweet, sour, and spicy, flavours of South East Asian food. With ingredients sourced from local Thai grocers, each skewer has its own unique marinade.
The skewers can be ordered individually ($3 each) and the choices consist of:
Beef - Wild ginger with caramelised sweet soy
Pork - Turmeric & lemongrass, with sweet tamarind sauce
Chicken - Lemongrass with peanut satay sauce
Octopus - Chilli & ginger, with homemade sweet chilli
Tofu - Chilli & tamarind, with som tom sauce
House-pickled vegetables and the fragrant rice are a welcome addition to make the skewers into something more substantial.
If cocktails aren't your thing, there are 40 rare rums imported from the UK. There are also beers available; from light island lager all the way to thick creamy dark beers. The wine list is focused and international, hopping from China to Spain and back, all available by the glass.
It's a great place to catch up with friends (or take date), feast on skewers and have some delicious tiki cocktails.
The Cliff Dive is open Wednesday to Saturday from 6pm and take non-exclusive bookings in the booths for groups of 10+
missklicious & +1 dined as guests of The Cliff Dive, thanks to Hill+Knowlton Strategies.

Title: Before I Fall
Author: Lauren Oliver
I just finished reading that book about an hour ago and WOW it was great! I absolutely adored the ending! I can really picture this book being made into a movie with narrations and a few flashbacks included, everything is described in such detail that the story just unfolds in your mind as a movie!
Before I Fall is about a girl called Sam Kingston (kept making me think of USBs) who is in high school and is part of the popular crowd. She has the kind of cliched life where she used to be a dork and at the bottom rung of the social ladder until the school's most popular girl decided to make her her best friend. This little group of 4 included Lindsay (the girl I was just talking about), Ally, Elody and Sam.
At first, you would think that they were those typical shallow, materialistic, popular girls who only hung out because they needed their own posse and could stab each others' backs without a second thought. However, as you read on, you would realise that these 4 girls really loved each other and thought of each other as family, doing stupid things together that you can only do with your bestest friends in the world.
Basically, Sam dies at the start of the book. This is so not a spoiler because it's clearly stated in the synopsis on the back cover. So how can the main character die in the first chapter? It's because (like the cover states) she dies and wakes up again on the morning of her death, forced to live through her last day alive again.
Pretty soon she realises that she's been given a second chance, a chance to 'get things right'. But not only is there a second chance for Sam, she also has a third and fourth and fifth and sixth and seventh chance! Yes, you read that right, she relives her last day SEVEN times.Wait I'm sorry, Day 1 was the official day she died, which means she relived her last day SIX TIMES. Oh this is just too confusing to explain. In short, she gets seven chances to live her last day right.
She spends her first few chances doing stupid things just 'cause she can. But the story gets more and more meaningful as it goes on. By the seventh day, she has changed into a different person and finally knows what she has to do to move on. I'm not telling you what, you go read the book.
The story is about an average girl who lives a life like many others. It's about how she learns to appreciate the little things in life and about realising how important certain people are to you. It makes you think about your own life and wonder what you would change if you knew this was your last day alive. How would you want to be remembered when you're gone? What memories will you leave behind? What will your last words to your loved ones be? Will you regret the decisions you've made so far and how can you change them? It's about living and sacrifice, learning from your mistakes and most importantly, accepting the repercussions of the choices you've made.
And I have to say, the last sentence of this book gave me chills. Don't skip to the end, read to the end.
Before I Fall comes highly recommended. Prepare a box of tissues if you're the emotional type.

Corvette Wins 2011 Motorist Choice Award!
by Keith Cornett
Corvette Blogger
IntelliChoice and AutoPacific have once again teamed up for their sixth annual Motorist Choice Awards which recognize vehicles that deliver a combination of high consumer satisfaction and lower-than-expected ownership costs. Vehicles are categorized into a collection of 15 popular lifestyle segment categories and the Chevrolet Corvette was chosen the ?popular? winner of the Performance category.
The 15 categories that shoppers can easily identify with include those with names like ?Fun to Drive?, ?Eco-Friendly? ?Performance? and ?Head Turner?. The winners of these categories were divided into two market segments called Popular and Premium. The segments are essentially separated by budget based on the recommendations from a panel of consumers.
While IntelliChoice monitors and adjusts the cost of ownership metrics of over 1800 models to provide customers with the financial impact of ownership over a 5-year time period, AutoPacific performs the broadest and most widely followed owner satisfaction surveys in the US with over 72,000 responses in 2011.
The Motorist Choice Awards combines these complimentary reports into one set of results which are then categorized based on the vehicles usage.
In addition to the Corvette, the Chevrolet Camaro was chosen the ?Popular? winner in the ?Head Turner? category. The only other General Motors vehicle named at the awards ceremony was the Cadillac Escalade which won the ?Premium? segment in both the ?Performance? and ?High Tech? categories.
Here are the winners of the IntelliChoice/AutoPacific 2011 Motorist Choice Awards
|Active Lifestyle
|Dodge Ram HD
|Land Rover LR4
|Cargo Hauler
|Ford Expedition EL
|Volvo XC70
|Scion xD

|Ford Expedition EL
|Lincoln Navigator
|Chevrolet Corvette
|Cadillac Escalade
|Road Trip
|Ford Expedition
|Mercedes-Benz GL
|Hyundai Elantra

The results are interesting to say the least as the unique categories offer consumers an alternative to judging vehicles based on their traditional class. We also find that the Corvette to be a suitable choice in all the categories save ?Cargo Hauler?.

(updated 07 September 2015)
If you are over the age of 25, Bodrum isn't the place for you. And by a happy misunderstanding, I happened upon Yalikavak, approximately 18 km over the hill and around the bend, for a relaxing and amazing holiday experience.
Okay, so I'm going to start off with my complaint, and that's pretty much because I just looked at their website again (so that I can provide it to you) and remembered what my issue was. The 4Reasons Hotel (http://www.4reasonshotel.com/) states on their website "a hip, small, luxury boutique hotel in Bodrum." Traveler beware: they are NOT in Bodrum. They are in Yalikavak and it will take you about 40 minutes to arrive, and cost you 110 TL to get there and back if you don't have a car. So be forewarned. But truly, if this is the only flaw that I can note – and it is! – then this is where you want to stay!
The above said, however, I loved this hotel! The staff were amazing, the rooms lovely, and depending on what room type you choose – I had the Passionate, even though I was traveling alone, simply because I wanted a large room with a view to the sea – it can be the perfect vacation location. Within 45 minutes you can walk down to the beach and rent the requisite sun bed and umbrella but, really, why? The pool is amazing and peaceful! And since the previous writing in 2014, the rooms have been updated with larger beds and a lovely banquet along the right-hand wall that is far more functional than the 2 wicker chairs that used to be in the room.
P.S. If an all-inclusive place to stay is what you want, there are a number lining the road to Bodrum. I can't vouch for any of these, but here are some options that you can investigate further: Club Blue Dreams, Rixos (looks like Vegas!), Golden Savoy (another that looks like Vegas!) and Kervanesse (I think that is the spelling).
If you've read any of my other blog posts, you will know that I prefer not to eat at hotel restaurants. As luck would have it, my first night in Yalikavak, I didn't have a reservation so I stayed at the hotel and ate at their restaurant. What a joy! The views to the sea were stunning, the soft jazz a perfect accompaniment, and the food truly outstanding! By the time I arrived here, I had already started to go through pasta withdraw so how happy was I to see their version of pasta with 4 cheese sauce? The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the different cheeses than what I was used to was a happy experience.
But don't stay here every night (although you could). Walk down to Yalikavak and you will find the "boardwalk" lined with all variety of restaurants.
Although I didn't eat here, I met two fellow travelers who ate at Sofi's and they said it was outstanding. Apparently, there was a "show" of belly dancers and whatnot, which I wouldn't have enjoyed, but if that's your thing, I trust their judgment.
I opted to go to Elma Restaurant (regrettably, this restaurant is now closed due to the growth of Yalikavak with the new, large, Marina). I had heard that they had vegetarian options – they don't, really, at least nothing that is different from every other restaurant in Turkey – but the mezzes were amazing and the Mediterranean salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and cheese the absolute highlight. And the owner/manager, Ali, was a charmer and totally engaging with stories of Turkey, literature, and the books he's read. I would return just for the conversation!
1 new find, which I think is also new to the Yalikavak dining scene is Giggles (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Giggles/239981516202222) which was an absolute dream recommendation from the Four Reasons. The night of our reservation, there was some confusion about a rental car we arranged and, as we passed by, the staff asked if I was Mr Panner, I said I was, and he said that Ali from the Four Reasons (Ali is the best!) was coming to meet us, and that Giggles would hold our table until we were finished! 1 hour late, we returned and the mezze were phenomenal and the pasta and fish outstanding. And the staff?! They were so nice and attentive that, on subsequent nights when just passing the restaurant, they would wave and smile. Love it!
And very new to the restaurant scene in Yalikavak is Ege Restaurant (https://www.facebook.com/Egerestaurantbar) as it has only been open for a couple of months. Once again, Ali from the Four Reasons recommneded this (in place of another reservation we had) and it was incredible. I tell you, make this the first restaurant you run to when you arrive in Yalikavak! Situated on the water front, with lovely views out to the sea, are reason enough to run to this restaurant. But then the mezze selection is simply over-the-top incredible! My friend had the catch of the day and couldn't stop raving about how tasty it was and utterly perfect. And for this vegetarian… I was a very happy boy; they didn't have anything on the menu for a vegetarian (other than more mezze) so the owner, Esat – an incredibily lovely and helpful man – said "leave it with me" and I did. And up comes a lovely tomato and cucumber salad and although not much, I would have been fine with that. But then comes the most incredible pizza/flat bread type things that I have ever seen, nor eaten. I can't really describe them, but I can tell you that I am drooling about them right now. And still smiling! Love. This. Restaurant.
I can't comment on Bodrum and couldn't even fathom to venture over there – crowds aren't my thing I'm afraid – so I'll leave it to you to venture out and explore.
The one thing that you must do is take a bus tour to Pamukkale. Your hotel may try and arrange a private car service but, to be honest, it's a long haul and you see a lot of villages and nothing else, so why not take the cheaper route and do a bus tour? Traveler be warned however: it takes about 4.5 hours to get to Pamukkale from Bodrum, and they stop along the way for a "break," a carpet tour, and "lunch," but as long as you know what you are getting in to, it's worth it.
Since I've been to Pamukkale before, and absolutely loved it, and recommend that everyone go at least once in their lives, I now have more insight! On my second return, I opted for the rental car option with a GPS. You can do an organized tour as described above but I honestly thought the car option was better. But be warned: GPS in Turkey is not the best and we were often concerned that we were lost and it took a bit longer to drive than the tour bus did, but it was worth it. My recommendation: pay attention to how you arrive at your hotel – if I hadn't, I may still be driving around! – print maps from home that you understand, and be prepared for an adventure!
Pamukkale and the ruins around it are absolutely stunning and even though it may be 105F/43C, the sheer beauty and natural wonder of the place will make it all worthwhile! And for about $15, you can wade in an ancient pool that is supposed to cure some of our ailments. (I didn't do it because it looked overpriced and not worth the crowd!)
So Yalikavak isn't in Bodrum. And so it may be a "suburb" albeit a hike away. Don't hold it against them and go here for further recharging. And if you need a bit of culture, do the trip to Pamukkale: it's worth your time and a numb butt!

Cain Velasquez Gives Post-Surgery Injury Update, But Can't Provide 'Definitive Timeline'
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titlist Cain Velasquez wants to get back into the Octagon, but just can't say when it will be feasible.
On Monday evening, Velasquez took to Twitter, posting a lengthy explanation of his current injury predicament, his recovery from surgery and when he expects to get back into the Octagon. Unfortunately, the American Kickboxing Academy product was non-committal on that front.
"As you know, I underwent surgery in early January. That surgery was very successful and I hope the issue doesn't come up ever again," Velasquez wrote. "However, right now I am listening to my body and the advice from my medical team and choosing to take it easy."
"I have to be smart about going back and can't rush just to make a fight and then risk another injury. My body needs to be 100%," he continued. "I can't provide a definitive timeline on when I'll be ready to go, but you'll be the first to know when the time comes."
Quick update for all my fans. #SiSePuede pic.twitter.com/bvZGq0eaQ4— Cain Velasquez (@cainmma) March 14, 2017
Velasquez underwent back surgery in January. He was originally scheduled to rematch Fabricio Werdum at UFC 207 on Dec. 30 of last year, while admitting prior to the contest that he was postponing back surgery until after the contest. However, Velasquez was pulled from the bout just over a week out by the Nevada Athletic Commission after his pre-fight medical revealed that he had been using a cannabidiol (CBD) oral spray to fight the pain from his ongoing injury.
Velasquez, 34, last fought at UFC 200 last July where he thrashed Travis Browne in under five minutes. It was his first bout in 13 months after losing the UFC heavyweight title to the aforementioned Werdum at UFC 188 in June 2015 in Mexico City. The former Arizona State University wrestling standout has been besieged by a bevy of injuries throughout his 10-year pro MMA career: his slate of surgeries, non-inclusively, is a list that also features three knee surgeries, two on his left shoulder and one on his elbow, his foot and his hand respectively (online betting).

Charities: Debt or equity interests in a company
IEIM404760: Charities: Debt or Equity Interest in a Company
Some charities are set up as companies, for these entities the debt and equity interests are different from those of trusts and similar structures. In this context companies includes all types of bodies corporate, including companies incorporated under Royal Charter, charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs) and Scottish charitable incorporated organisations. The debt and equity interests are defined for the purposes of the AEOI agreements as follows.
Equity Interest
An equity interest in a company is held by all shareholders, and all other persons with an interest in the profits or capital of the company. This includes shares held by way of a program-related or social investment. HMRC do not consider that the members of a company limited by guarantee, charitable company incorporated under Royal Charter or CIO hold an equity interest in the company.
For charities set up as companies, the recipients of charitable grants will not be equity interest holders unless they have an interest in the profits or capital of the company, as indicated above. Unlike trusts and foundations, the mere receipt of a grant will not make a grantee an equity interest holder.
Debt Interests
Debt interests include all loans made to charitable companies and other forms of indebtedness, including formal and informal arrangements, and whether or not any interest is attached to the debt. Debts owed by a charity to trade creditors that do not relate to the lending of money are not included.
Once a charity has identified its debt and equity interest holders it will have to carry out due diligence on them to identify whether any of them are Reportable Persons [see IEIM404800].

Don't look for first mover advantage
Parables, cliches, and axioms are wonderful things. They tend to exist because they tend to reflect generalities that have been tried and tested through time. So, it goes without saying that the tortoise does win the race against the hare, and the guy who doesn't have first mover advantage tends to have the best shot at avoiding the mistakes, and expectations, of the guy who jumped to market first.
Microsoft didn't invent the OS, Google didn't invent search, Facebook didn't make social networking, and Apple didn't come up with WIMP, digital music, or mobile phones all on its own. Every entrepreneur looking to succeed should think seriously about how far ahead of the curve they want to be these days.
Now, I know that the money guys like to see first mover advantages, paradigms shifts, and things that are disruptive, but that's likely to be less of a concern in a down economy than solid growth, cost management, and proven market opportunity. Now is not the time to think about change. Leave that to the politicians. Anyhow, I suspect that those terms mean something different to VCs: Be different, but not so much that no one gets you.
I know. It's hard to step off the hype wagon and assume pragmatic stances, but you can be an entrepreneur and shrewd all at the same time. It really isn't that difficult. Just put yourself in the shoes of someone who isn't spending all of their time doing what you are doing.
And that's the key: what would your average customer/client/user/viewer be looking to do these days? They're probably likely to be a little nervous about spending, very concerned about value, and a little involved in self-preservation. That translates into less interest in being swept up in the tide of history or innovation, and therefore, wary of new stuff that is too new.
New stuff that does the familiar better, or provides added value, or benefits – that's going to work just fine. Innovation is a nice word, and sounds great, but people don't buy innovation. They buy a benefit or a resource or a service. Frankly, if someone came up with a horse that could run at a 120 mph, could live in the garage, and lived off of Fruit Loops there'd be a lot of people who'd be willing to ditch the innovation of the internal combustion engine.
But, I digress. I may be phlegmatic because the areas that interest me most – digital media, consumer facing, online – are rife with start-ups and want-to-be-start-ups who have replaced the need for common sense business practices with Field of Dreams scenarios built on advertising revenues. Take a look at this article by Hank Williams. Pay particular attention to his take on building small businesses.
By the way, does anyone actually read fables, or Poor Richard's Almanac anymore?

Now that electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) is permitted in all US states, pharmacists can expect e-prescriptions to gain momentum.
Ken Whittemore Jr, RPh, MBA, senior vice president of professional and regulatory affairs at Surescripts, provided an update on EPCS at the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Annual Convention, which is taking place in Washington, DC, from October 10-14, 2015.
In his presentation, Whittemore reviewed some of the challenges that paper prescriptions for controlled substances pose, such as fraudulent prescription pad forgery. EPCS, on the other hand, can reduce fraud and abuse, secure electronic records, and improve safety and patient care, Whittemore noted.
EPCS Product Directory Drummond certified
He also highlighted research from the US Department of Justice that found e-prescribing could result in an annualized cost savings potential of $700 million. Plus, EPCS can reduce the number of callbacks between pharmacies and prescribers and can remove the need to store paper prescriptions.
Whittemore noted that it has been 5 years since the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published its interim final rule (IFR) that allowed for EPCS, but there have been challenges slowing down its adoption.
"We still find that many doctors and pharmacists are not aware of the fact that EPCS is legal, probably moreso on the physician side than the pharmacy side," Whittemore noted.
He also spoke about networks, such as Surescripts, that enable pharmacy and prescriber applications of EPCS, provide standards for implementation, and connect pharmacy and prescriber software through a "trusted national health information network."
Whittemore outlined several EPCS readiness steps for pharmacies:
· Upgrade the software system so that it can receive and archive electronic prescriptions.
· Achieve network certification, which involves the network and the pharmacy vendor working together.
· Undergo a third-party audit to ensure compliance so that pharmacy software applications meet DEA requirements for recording, receiving, and storing e-prescriptions for controlled substances.
The steps for physicians are similar, but they also have to go through an identity proofing process involving 2-factor authentication (TFA) credentials. These TFA credentials call for 2 of the following: something you are, something you know, and/or something you have. Whittemore likened this to how individuals use an ATM machine. The card is something the individual owns, and the PIN is what the individual knows.
For physicians, TFA credentials may take form in tokens or in biometrics, such as fingerprint scans. In other words, a physician might need a code and a fingerprint scan to write an EPCS.
EPCS momentum is growing, and Whittemore applauded pharmacists for their steady adoption.
"The pharmacies have done a good job stepping forward," Whittemore said.
Nationally, EPCS monthly volume was around 1.8 million in September 2015—up from around 1.1 million in July 2015.
"It's starting to take off," Whittemore said.
Meanwhile, nationwide pharmacy EPCS adoption was around 64% in August 2015, meaning 64% of pharmacies had seen at least 1 EPCS in that month.
Whittemore noted that back when e-prescribing for non-controlled substances was gaining ground, it wasn't until around 80% of pharmacies were accepting e-prescriptions that physicians started to show more interest in sending e-prescriptions for non-controlled substances.
"Once you get to that 80%, that seems to be the tipping point," he said, suggesting physicians could react the same for EPCS.

text: A former North Hollywood bank executive has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for embezzling $2.5 million from customers and the bank. Fereidoon Mafi Vassegh, 49, took out nearly three dozen loans in the names of customers at American Pacific State Bank and kept the money, government prosecutors said. He pleaded guilty to three counts of embezzlement on Nov. 12. A senior vice president and the third-ranking executive at the bank since 1980, Vassegh was caught after missing a payment on one of 34 loans he had taken out under other people's names in August, 1983, prosecutors said. When the supposed borrower denied ever getting the loan, the bank began an audit and later contacted the FBI. Authorities said some of the stolen money went to repay at least $384,000 of Vassegh's Las Vegas gambling debts. U.S. District Judge William Keller also ordered Vassegh to pay full restitution to the bank and defrauded customers.

The Financial Times has reported that Wagamama founder Alan Yau has sold Hakkasan and Yauatcha, his two Michelin-starred Chinese restaurants, to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority for £30 million! According to the FT, Yau will retain a minority stake in the two restaurants, which seem to take turns representing London among the world's most highly ranked restaurants.
Londonist wishes to congratulate Yau on his mega-success (you lucky duck!) and hopes that (although Hakkasan and Yauatcha will never be affordable) these two dining phenoms will continue to produce exciting and quality dishes for many years to come.

Can Detroit Really Be Saved? History Isn't Good
As Detroit continues to beg Washington for immediate financial aid to avoid financial collapse, and both Nancy Pelosi and President-Elect Barack Obama seem very willing to offer this aid, the fact of the matter is that the history of rescuing ailing American automakers has never been very good.
At one time many American states produced an automobile brand by at least 1930, but with the huge 1929 crash on Wall Street, many american automobile brands faced their biggest financial survival challenges since their upstart history during the boom years of the American automobile industry of the early 1900's.
When Henry Ford was able to mass produce the Model T, he was able to drop the price to a mere $300 for these simple one door automobiles by 1920, while other car brands might have sold for an average near $3,000 only a few years earlier. Ford was even able to make additional profits by recycling the wood shipping crates that suppliers shipped the parts to his assembly factory in, creating the Kingsford charcoal brand. Henry Ford was a real master at low cost production and profit maximization. But since this time few ailing automobile brands have been nearly as fortunate.
During the Great Depression, the excellent car brand company of Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg was only able to survive for a while financed by a rescue plan from the Roosevelt Administration that had the company building kitchen cabinets for homes that the Roosevelt Administration was helping to be built under part of their NRA programs and other programs to build homes and get Americans home ownership. Despite building some very fine automobiles, this company just could financially survive the economic tailspin that it ran into after the start of the Great Depression, where celebrities such as Clark Gable and other customers simply did not purchase enough of their fine cars to keep them in business.
American steel tycoon, Henry J Kaiser, had failed in his bid to build small inexpensive automobiles known as the Henry J in the early 1950's despite a sales agreement with Sears to also market the cars under the Sears brand name, Allstate, that were sold in Sears stores. But in 1950, few American car buyers were all that interested in a $1,300 car with no glovebox, spartan interior, and just a 68hp 4 cylinder engine. The competing Chevrolet model 150 was unfortunately available for not much more money, which made it even more difficult for the ultracheap, but durable little Henry J cars to compete as well. By 1954, the little cars were gone, when Henry Kaiser had formed a merger with the Wills-Overland Company to build the Jeep models, and created the Kaiser Jeep Corporation. It was one of the first of several desperate modern attempts for American brands to survive by merger. But by 1970, little American Motors Corporation had purchased the Jeep brand. Eventually, Chrysler purchased AMC by 1987. Jeep is the only example of an American automobile brand that has outlived several owners and manufacturers in American history that still survives today. The Jeep product turned out to be a product so good that it remains around today while the manufacturers of the brand have struggled since the 1950's to actually make enough money with the product to survive in business. It is an amazing story of the difficulties of the American automobile brands to survive in business, even with a great product.
American Motors, which purchased Jeep, is also another important story of the sheer struggle of some American automobile brands to remain in business. During the early 1950's despite postwar auto sales where Americans were buying cars, smaller American car brands struggled to compete with larger companies such as General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, and the four remaining smaller car companies, Hudson, Nash, Studebaker and Packard entered into negotiations to merge to not only survive financially, but also have the capital available in order to keep developing new brands in order to keep up with the rapid product development over at Chevrolet and Ford for example. However, the very sick financial state of Packard, as well as the financial weakness of Studebaker, it really was a real concern of Hudson and Nash, and instead only these companies formed what was at the time the largest corporate merger in American history, although it only involved just $188 million in capital in January 1954.
Sadly, Packard and Studebaker were forced to create their own troubled merger for survival sake in 1954. While Studebaker was financially the stronger of the two companies, it was the real financial problems of the very troubled Packard company that would help to doom this company in the long run. These two companies were even compared to two drunks attempting to hold each other up, because of the sheer weakness of both companies. Although the beautiful 1953 Studebaker models were greatly admired, by 1958, the large luxury Packard brand was simply doomed by poor sales. The 1958 Packard models were no longer a large car body of their own, but merely a dressed up version of the 1953-era Studebaker models. It was the last of the Packard brand ever. And Studebaker struggled along to survive into the 1960's with declining car sales with attractive car models still based off the 1953 design, along with the compact Lark models, and the beautiful Avanti sportscar brand. The problem with the Avanti was that it was another beautiful Studebaker design that was greatly admired, but once again sold poorly. Ironically, Studebaker purchased the Chemical Compounds Company in 1960, and the STP brand engine additive was to become what was left of the Studebaker company after the company ceased automobile production in 1966. Studebaker went from a blacksmith business formed in 1952 to becoming an automobile manufacturing company, to becoming merely a company that produced an additive for automobiles. It was a classic nearly Shakespearean tale of the tragic rise and fall of an great American automobile company.
Meanwhile, American Motors Corporation struggled on to survive years after Studebaker despite tightening finances as well. The early 1960's Rambler models were a huge success, but the desire of little AMC to compete model for model with larger American companies such as GM really strained the finances of little AMC. And although they built some durable cars that sold for lower prices than most comparable models from the larger brands, the sales at AMC continued to weaken after the early 60's sales success of the small Rambler models. AMC hoped to recapture some of it's early success with the introduction of the 1970 Hornet models which were tooled for just $40 million in production costs, and for only a mere $6 million more, the little subcompact Gremlin models were introduced in April 1970. But little AMC never realized that the 1970 Hornet, which was based off a 1966 design prototype car called the Cavalier, would become it's longest running car platform ever. From the 1970 model year until 1987, American Motors produced some sort of car based off the 1970 Hornet in some way, including four wheel drive models. This long model run for a platform ever exceeded the long run of the failed Checker Motors which produced cars from 1958 until 1974. Checker also proved that even though an American car company could build cars capable of running up to a million miles, it simply wasn't enough to stay in business.
Little AMC was acquired by Chrysler in 1987, but only because Chrysler really wanted to own the Jeep brand, and certainly wasn't interested in owning the AMC cars. The last AMC cars were part of a failed attempt by French automaker Renault to have a 49% ownership in AMC in order for the company to survive. However, few of the Renault designed cars ever sold, and most of the Renault designed Eagle models were actually produced by Chrysler as their own products before very poor sales forced Chrysler to drop the Eagle brand cars from the Jeep dealers they owned.
But Chrysler has had it's own difficult history. By the late 70's, Chrysler's sales were terrible due to Chrysler's failure to offer smaller cars to deal with the gas crisis of the 70's, and the company needed it's own federal government bailout by 1979 in the form of $1.5 billion loan guarantee to avoid bankruptcy. Chrysler's easrly history as an industry innovator that once created new ideas such as the automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, was so challenged that French carmaker Peugeot helped to design the subcompact Plymouth Horizon and Dodge Omni models, and numerous models based of the K-car design that was produced after the loan guarantee, helped Chrysler to limp along until German auto brand Daimler purchased Chrysler, but even with the introduction of numerous new innovative models, Daimler sold to American investors only in recent years.
The fact of the matter is that no matter how important it may be to make the American automobile industry survive, the real history is that nothing has really worked to ensure their long-term survival. Most every attempt at mergers, foreign investors or government loans has only bought American car brands a little more time, and only delayed the inevitable collapse of these American brands.
The American television industry ran into similar problems as well with better and stronger and more innovative foreign competition from Japan, where American brands like Magnavox, Emerson, General Electric, RCA, Quasar and Zenith all failed. While RCA was purchased by an European company, Zenith continued as the final holdout in the American television industry until they owed so much money to a South Korean bank to finance their losses in business that they were taken over by the bank and became a South Korean brand, and no American television brands exist today.
Detroit may also be on the same bad side of history as well. It is highly likely that nothing, not even a large multibillion dollar bailout of the American automobile industry will guarantee the survival of General Motors, Ford or Chrysler for too many more years. The financial stresses of this huge recession, a lack of technology as modern as Toyota or Honda, and huge financial losses might mean the eventual loss of at least American car maker, where only Ford might be the most likely to survive of the three remaining American auto brands. The reality here is certainly frightening.

Burnham Station House was built in 1888 as part of the Southminster Branch Line, renamed recently as the Crouch Valley Branch Railway, from Southminster to Wickford. Its main use was to house the station master. Although the branch line escaped closure in the 1960s by Beeching, as it was used to supply the nearby Bradwell nuclear power station. However there was no longer a station master at the station and the house was used for storage and as a base for the British Rail Yacht Club. By 1980 it was empty, vandalised and used by rough sleepers.
The branch line provides off-peak services to Wickford with direct services to and from London Liverpool Street during rush hour, thus allowing the town's inclusion in the London commuter belt and supporting tourism. The Station House is the first building seen by tourists arriving by train.
Burnham Town Council wanted to take on the station house, for approx 20 years but although several attempts were made to make this happen, it was never possible.
In 2014 a partnership was formed between Burnham Town Council, Essex County Council and Abellio Greater Anglia and Essex and South Suffolk Community Rail Partnership with the aim to refurbish the house and use as a community hub with the objectives below:
Essex County Council provided funding of £56K made up of £40K from the Economic Growth and Development team and £16K from the Cultural team, Abellio Greater Anglia provided £19k towards the project, with a total budget of £75K. Burnham Town Council has committed to underwrite the net operating cost of the building, estimated at approximately £7k pa. Essex & South Suffolk Community Rail Partnership provided the funding to produce the business case.

Military Monday - Lieut John Tomson
5 comments:
Was John Tomson of Leiden, Netherlands, like some of the other people who came to Plymouth? A Walloon or of English origins?ReplyDeleteReplies
In reading "Early Settlers Before King Philip War", it tells us that John Tomson was born in the northern part of Wales in 1616. He came to America in 1622 at the age of six either on the Sparrow or the Charity and Swan. In reading further, it states that he is of Dutch origin, but doesn't seem to explain that comment.Delete
Hi, Kathryn,ReplyDelete
I found your interesting blog and am enjoying reading it. I am a descendant of John Tomson through Dr. Asaph Thompson, son of Peter Thomson. Asaph T. moved from Halifax to Norridgewock, Maine about 1802. We have Thompson samplers and docs back to the early part of the 1800's. Could you please tell me where the John Tomson marker (hearth or doorstone) is located in Halifax / Middleborough? Thanks!Replies
The marker for John Tomson is located on Thompson Street off of route 106 in Halifax. The Tomson Cemetery is also found on this street.Delete

I'm trying to create a form to allow votes for the board of directors. We will have a handful of candidates and want members to be able to vote for "X" number of "Y" candidates.
I know how to limit the maximum choices within a field. I also understand how the CountIF function works in Excel, but I don't know how to make it work with results like the sample with 6 candidates and a restriction to vote for a max of 3.
Results: Option 1; Option 2; Option 6 Option 2; Option 3; Option 4 Option 1; Option 2; Option 3 Option 1; Option 4; Option 6
Since they are no single choices, it seems checkboxes are the better option over radio buttons. Your survey tools appear to allow for ranking not voting on a list.
I searched the archives and couldn't find an example that did this unless it was a single vote per line. With scripting I could parse the candidates based on the ";", but would prefer to have something more readily analyzed.
Is there a better way to do this that I'm not seeing?
Thanks for your help!Page URL:

In addition - the voting results would be secret. I don't need to display a pie chart or any other representation of the data online.
We would tally the votes and notify the winning candidates. All other details from the vote would remain secret.
- BenAnswered on December 07, 2015 at 12:36 AM
I would first like to suggest one widget since I think that it might be a good idea for your use case, even if it is not exactly what you have described. You can see it here: Orderable list
- Basically you place the names, and others sort the names in the order of preference, allowing you to see the results.
Now in regards to what you are asking.
The best way to do it would be to have 6 different checkboxes, hide their labels so they look as if they are a single checkbox and then check the form through conditions.
Now, instead of creating tons of conditions to check if specific sets of fields are filled out or not to see if there are 3 or more checkboxes selected, we will use a set of fields and form calculation which we will check and see if the number is bigger than 3.
Basically, we create a condition for each checkbox that sets the value as 1 on the corresponding field (a textbox that is hidden on a form) if it is filled out.
Now you set the form calculation to sum the values of these textboxes:
Now when we have done this, we can add additional usable things to the form, such as error message (by adding text to Text field) and by disabling submit button if the value is bigger than 3.
We do this through conditions as well:
Once you do it, the form looks like this: https://form.jotform.com/53400934277960
Now, in your spreadsheet you will see one reply per checkbox field.
If you are using Excel reports, you can just select the fields that you wish and not include the ones that you do not want to see in the Excel, or if you are using Google Spreadsheet, simply deleting the column (not the data in the cells) will make the integration stop posting that data in there.
Hope this helps, but do let us know how it goes and we would be happy to help further if needed :)
- nysteaAnswered on December 07, 2015 at 02:54 PM
All of that makes sense. Thanks!
I made some test submissions and let them sum using the inserted 1 concept.
I also discovered that by having the individual checkboxes, I can just use CountIF and count the candidates by the candidate's named (Option 1 in this case), etc.
This does not allow for a maximum limit. It would work well for a list of preferences or choices where a participant could choose everything that appeals to them.
The part I can't figure out is how to hide the field labels. I assume it is done with CSS, but I have zero CSS skills. The fields don't have to be hidden as the candidate's names could go in those spots. Can you let me know how to modify that?My next step is to decide on loose vs strict submission controls vs trusting the voters to vote only once. As it sits this form is anonymous and everyone can vote secretly but there's no way to prevent multiple votes..
I want to prevent stuffing the ballot box. Can strict controls be enabled with a generated token instead of forwarding the name or email address to us? Something that would store the data but not necessarily share it with us? Do I hide those fields from the confirmations and let the voter think they're being anonymous and live with it?
Loose control would work with just IP address capture assuming people didn't vote at work, at home and on their phone.
I am not truly worried about the group doing this, but having the systems in place prevents grousing, finger pointing and general discontentment. It's also a good thing to learn for other forms
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
- BenAnswered on December 07, 2015 at 04:21 PM
The part I can't figure out is how to hide the field labels.
Yes, you are correct, I have used CSS for that.
The great thing about not knowing CSS is that there is Form Designer waiting for you to test it out :)
This is a rather short videos set, but they pack all the right info in them: Video Course: Form Designer Basics
We are also here if you need help with a specific part of the form (some CSS that is not as easy to do within designer).
This does not allow for a maximum limit. It would work well for a list of preferences or choices where a participant could choose everything that appeals to them.
I presume that you are talking about Orderable list widget since the multiple checkboxes can be set for maximum value - we set it for 3: https://form.jotform.com/53405445586965 (your form)
It is not set as such directly (on the checkbox), but it works.
Now since we need to keep one question or issue per thread, I have moved your question about submission limits to a new thread here: http://www.jotform.com/answers/719787 where we will be answering shortly.

Are NFL Underdogs Undervalued in Low Scoring Games?
In tonight's Monday Night Football matchup, two of the league's premier defenses will face off with the San Francisco 49ers (6-2-1) hosting the Chicago Bears (7-2). Currently, these two teams rank one-two in the league in scoring defense, and points will definitely be at a premium tonight — especially with both starting quarterbacks out.
The Bears' Jay Cutler sustained a concussion in last week's 13-6 loss to Houston and will be replaced by veteran signal caller Jason Campbell. Likewise, San Francisco's quarterback, Alex Smith, suffered a concussion last week and will be replaced by the young, fleet-footed Colin Kaepernick. The second-year player from Nevada had been used solely in a Wildcat-esque package up to this point.
Of course, with backup quarterbacks taking center stage against arguably the two most ferocious defenses in the league, it's no surprise to see a low total. With that in mind, we analyzed whether there has been historic value on games that bookmakers expect to be low scoring. Currently, 66% of wagers have taken the under in what could easily be a preview of the NFC championship. That is particularly interesting when you consider that since 2003, the over has gone 83-62 (+17.4 units, 12% return on investment) in games where the total is 35.5 or less.
We can see that these presumed defensive struggles often times produce more points than anticipated, but what's really interesting is the production of underdogs in these games. Our hypothesis was that in low-scoring games, underdogs would be more likely to keep the game close and cover the spread.
To test this theory, we used our BetLabs software to determine how various underdogs have performed since 2007. The table below, with line data taken from Pinnacle, shows the results of our analysis.
|Win %
|Units Won
|All Underdogs
|Underdogs of 3.5+
|All dogs, Total <37
|Dog 3.5+, Total <37
As you can see, betting all underdogs would produce a very slight profit while betting all dogs of at least 3.5 points would produce a winning record, but it is not profitable enough to cover the vigorish. However, when we look at games in which the total is 37 or less, you can see impressive results. Betting all underdogs in low-scoring games would result in a 55% winning percentage while slightly larger dogs (of at least 3.5 points) have covered at a 58.5% clip.
The line on this game has been extremely volatile, particularly this morning since the announcement that Alex Smith would not be playing. At 9:36 AM yesterday, the line was SF -7.5 at Pinnacle, but has since moved to -3.5. Likewise, the total at Pinnacle opened at 37.5 yet has dropped to 35.
We will continue to monitor the line movement on this game, but we're always curious about your thoughts. Do you see any value on the game tonight? Is the public right to pound the under? Which team will suffer more without their starting quarterback? Please leave your thoughts and questions in the comment section below.

Out of stock
For the first time ever at the Salzburg Festival, Mozart's Die Zauberflöte is performed on period instruments - Nikolaus Harnoncourtreturns to the composer's native city to conduct his famous Concentus Musicus Wien 'with precision and finesse' (Financial Times), presenting 'much that is new, most of it fascinating, some of it astonding in its musical interpretation' (Kurier). A strong ensemble cast of some of today's finest young singers is led by Bernard Richter as Tamino and Julia Kleiter as Pamina; Markus Werb shines in the role of Papageno. The conflict between 'the world of light and rationality' and 'the world of night, of feelings, of imagination, of dreams' is at the heart of acclaimed theatre director Jens-Daniel Herzog's dramatic and captivating new production of Mozart's much-loved Singspiel.

So this blog post is an examination of some of the inspirations, challenges, and final thoughts for my newest short story WarLight (formerly known as "Project Light.") This has been a hard story to complete, but it is finally finished. I will let it "sit" for a while and will revise it based on feedback from my "Beta readers."
- The genesis of this story is simple: it is the "Halo-Killer" that I always wanted Sony to develop for the PlayStation. Bungie originally intended Halo to be a multiplatform game and I followed its development with great interest. Then Bungie's website "went dark" and then when it came back, the game was suddenly Microsoft only. I despised that tactic of "buying" a 3rd party game to "deny" it to your rivals and MS lost me as a customer for their game system with this philosophy. There was always talk of Sony developing its own Halo-Killer, but Killzone, the game that was touted as the sci-fi shooter of the PlayStation, didn't achieve the level of heights that Halo commanded.
- Halo worked because it started with a cool sci-fi premise and then added an "everyman" character on to it. Add in awesome vistas, cool secondary characters, a menacing enemy and a story where one man could save the world, and you had an instant sci-fi classic (the "new" Star Wars).
- I tried very hard to start off with a cool sci-fi premise: what if your world's sun would go not just supernova, but hyper-nova. This would generate a shockwave of light, heat, and radiation that would all obliterate everything in its path for hundreds of millions of light years. What if a civilization could just barely stay ahead of the wave, their technology only allowing them to "jump" up to a couple weeks ahead of the doom–a vast array of ships, collectively known as the Fleet–all jumping, emerging into real space for a week or so scavenging resources and jumping out again?
- And then, what if the Fleet got trapped?
- This is the story that I try to tell in WarLight.
- The hero of the story was born in the weeks after my grandmother passed away, so he has a "darkness" about him that is unusual for my characters (no, he is not "morally ambiguous"–a term I hate with a passion–rather, he looks at the death and destruction and wonders what is the use of trying).
- The actual story takes place on a planet and that is taken from a dream that I had about kids arriving on world with a long dead civilization and awakening an ancient evil.
- The theme was originally going to be "Fight on no matter what," with epigraphs taken from "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night" by Dylan Thomas. However, he is contemporary enough that his poem is still under copyright laws and not in the public domain, so I was unable to use it without obtaining permission.
- The story floundered for two years–I'd write the first paragraph down (sometimes more), but each time I'd be unsatisfied with the way it turned out. It never made it past the first couple of paragraphs.
- I was determined to write it this year and I was originally going to write it to be submitted for Visions IV. It was the 1st story I started working on in 2016. I then reread the guidelines and saw that stories for that anthology needed to be in space not on a planet and so I had to switch from writing WarLight to Ship of Shadows.
- After, I had finished and edited Ship of Shadows, I thought it would be easy to finish up WarLight. Boy, was I wrong! I still had the same problems and issues as before, not having a way to illustrate my theme and not understanding enough about my main character (named Tyrian in early drafts).
- Finally, in late April/early-mid May, I happened to be going through my Literature books and remembered "Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. I was able to adapt that poem to my use for epigraphs and also to refine my theme to be "find something to live for even in the face of great tragedy."
- I copped out on the original ending. I needed another day to finish it, but I had literally an hour before the place where my "alpha readers" worked closed, so I wrote a dreadful ending. I wrote the "real" ending over the weekend and emailed it to the beta readers, but I don't know which one they prefer yet–although I know which one I prefer.
- The artwork is by the artist Geoffroy Thoorsen via ArtStation and you can find his work there and at his website (DjahaLcom). The title of the piece is called "The Demon Killer," and the suit is similar to what I'm hoping to convey to readers of the story. This is another artist I would love to work with in the future. He "gets" my type of sci-fi.
- I plan to revise it when it is time to submit to Carrol Fix's next Visions anthology.
- Read Skin Deep for Free at Aurora Wolf
- Read Childe Roland for Free at Electric Spec
- Read Faerie Knight in the anthology Fae, Rhonda Parrish, Ed. or the Kindle Edition
- Read Ship of Shadows in the anthology Visions IV: Space Between Stars, Carrol Fix, Ed. or the Kindle Edition.
- Read WarLight in the anthology Visions VI: Galaxies, Carrol Fix, Ed. or the Kindle Edition.
- Read Dragonhawk in the magazine Tales of the Talisman, Vol. 8, Iss. 3, David Lee Summers, Ed. or the Kindle Edition.
