For some reason I cannot explain, I'm fascinated with the Tiger Woods saga. Or, at least I was, until this week.
In the Montreal Gazette this past Saturday, sports editor Stu Cowan wrote "Who Will Cry for Tiger Woods?" In the editorial, Mr. Cowan cites a book by Tom Callahan: "His Father's Son: Earl and Tiger Woods". The book apparently describes Tiger as a mimic to his father's ethics and conduct; both are depicted as controlling womanizers.
Millions have followed the downfall of the Great American Hero who was Tiger Woods; the billionaire with a beautiful Nordic wife, two children, a diamond-mine grin, and a stratospheric golf game. Within twenty months, his now former spouse has fled the Florida heat for the cooler comfort of Scandinavia, his sponsorship opportunities have become nearly skeletal, and Tiger's existing wealth is reportedly diluting. In the middle of all this, fortunately sheltered from the media, are the two children - experiencing the joys of shared custody - who call Tiger Woods "Daddy."
With the blossoming of mobile phones, internet streams, and the wave of the information age, it will be difficult to protect the kids from discovering the definitions of 'philander', 'divorce', 'sex-ting', and 'cheat'. It will most likely, and unfortunately, be outside their mother's control to decide when and how they will learn the details of Daddy's saga. At some point in his own life, Tiger reached a deeper understanding of the personality which was his father, and, either consciously or not, absorbed many of his traits. How do I know? It's out there for all to read, watch, download, and capture; it was even deemed the worthy subject of Mr. Callahan's non-fiction book. The circus has reached maturity; some of the actors will, no doubt, benefit financially through books deals, reality shows, and interviews. This is how things are done. There is an existing machine ready to apply its template to whatever crisis it's fed. Chomp, chomp, chomp...next!
I don't know why I was so interested in watching this self-destruction. I think partly it was due to the unbelievable nature of it all; at the height of his popularity - before it transformed itself into notoriety - was there another athlete with a brighter sheen to their marble than Tiger Woods? Following this present-day tragedy was like taking a sledge-hammer to Mount Rushmore, with Mr. Woods's children being sheltered by an umbrella.
What words can be used to describe Tiger's pattern of behaviour? Psychopathic? Sociopathic? Ego-maniacal?
At home several days ago, what began as a dinner conversation about the fall of Empire Woods, morphed into a theoretical debate about the ability of the powerful to deal with their power, and whether corruption is an inevitable symptom of prestige and authority. At the time I capitulated to the belief that no individual with a billion dollars in the bank, and a coterie of cocktail waitresses at their feet, could resist corrupt sources of temptation. Now I think that's a bunch of hooey.
Sure, there are very few Tiger Woodses out there; a marriage of physical beauty and athletic ability witnessed only once or twice every other generation. But I have to believe there are billionaire fathers commanding heaps of clout within their dominions who manage to keep it in their pants. To assume that absolute power corrupts absolutely is an insult to the powerful. I refuse to accept that a great dad and husband will inescapably become a faithless Lothario following a financial or sociological windfall.
Maybe we should just accept that Tiger became his father's son, a person he would have grown to be whether as a sports legend or a telephone repairman. After all, there are repairmen who are philandering oafs and can't hit a golf ball worth a slice of cheese. We don't hear about them because they are in every way commonplace, and perhaps it's time we bestow upon the fierce Tiger the same fate deserved by the whimpering repairman: ignore him.

If you've tried to park near Lowest Greenville in the past six months, you know: This neighborhood is so hot it's almost hellish. But once you snag your spot, you'll be treated to one of Dallas' most exciting dining neighborhoods. Staples such as HG Sply Co., the Blind Butcher, Nora and Truck Yard are getting a new neighbor with new bistro Rapscallion.
The word "rapscallion" meant "scoundrel" long ago, if that tells you anything. The restaurant menu has a Southern edge but "will never be confused with classic southern cooking," according to a statement from the restaurant.
Rapscallion opened July 7 near Trader Joe's on Greenville Avenue. It comes from owners Brooks Anderson and Bradley Anderson (of Veritas Wine Room and Boulevardier) and chef Nathan Tate.
Tate will remain executive chef at Boulevardier in Dallas and will take on the executive chef title at Rapscallion, too.
Tate's Rapscallion menu includes cabrito (goat) kebabs, cornmeal-dusted catfish and a pimento cheese burger. Meats will be cooked over a wood grill, dry aged in-house or roasted on a rotisserie.
Rapscallion also has a raw bar, with cocktails made to pair with oysters.
With the owners' experience at Veritas Wine Room, they're rolling out a hefty wine program, with 60 bottles priced at $50 or below.
Take a look inside this happenin' new restaurant:
2023 Greenville Ave., Dallas. 469-291-5660. facebook.com/rapscalliondallas. Opens at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday. Weekend brunch expected later.

Maths is often thought to be one of the hardest subjects to revise, but with a little thought and preparation, that doesn't have to be the case. Success in maths is certainly an achievable aim, particularly when the correct guidance is made easily available for all students.
Below are 5 useful maths revision tips that both students and teachers can follow to improve learning, understanding and revision in maths.
(1) Practise without a calculator.
In exams, students can very often find that they run out of time. This could be a result of relying too heavily on a calculator, subsequently resulting in a lack of confidence when it comes to mental calculations. This can lead to wasted time and a negative impact on performance. By regularly practising mental arithmetic, students will be encouraged to forget the calculator when it comes to simple sums.
(2) Use real-life examples for studying.
A major barrier to understanding in maths is that students often struggle to comprehend how topics such as fractions, algebra, and Pythagoras' Theorem, can be used outside of the classroom. Of course, maths in itself, alongside the skills it develops; reasoning, critical thinking and problem solving to name a few, are integral to the functioning of daily life.
To covey this to your class, real-life examples should be incorporated into both classwork and homework, so that students develop a greater understanding of the importance of maths and its role in the wider world.
(3) Display posters with content that needs to be remembered.
When it comes to learning maths, there are formulas, methods and rules that ideally, students should always keep in mind. Displaying visual reminders of relevant maths content will help students to grasp the most complex topics in small daily steps, without even realising that they're learning.
(4) Encourage the completion of homework.
Unfortunately, maths is not a topic that students can look over and immediately understand. Instead, success in maths requires daily practice, which can be guaranteed through effective homework. If small tasks are set on a regular basis, formulas and methods will be kept fresh in your students' minds, which could help to avoid the dreaded 'cramming' the night before a test or exam.
Too many students give up on difficult exercises before even attempting to solve the problem, which is an attitude that can result in lost marks and lost opportunities for growth. Homework however, can encourage students to work through problems independently, and only ask their teacher, parent or private tutor for help if they're really struggling. This will build upon existing maths knowledge and increase students' confidence in their abilities.
(5) Keep old lessons in mind.
Another important aspect of effective maths homework is to include elements of topics taught earlier in the year, as well as what students are currently learning. As previously mentioned, maths formulas and their usage tend to be forgotten over time. This inevitably results in panic setting in when students realise that they must relearn everything for their end-of-year exams. To avoid this, try and include one or two exercises from some previously taught topics, so that every topic learned is revised at least once a month.
By following the above top tips, students will feel confidently prepared for their exams and tests through effective homework, revision and learning techniques that are systematically implemented throughout the academic year.

One or two of you may possibly recognise this Panda from a tag I made last year.
My husband had asked me to make yet another dreaded 8x8 card - this time for a woman in the office due for maternity leave, so I had the idea to combine this tag with a patchwork theme.
Patchwork and Nature have nothing to do with each other, I know. But once I have an idea I just have to try and make it work...
Try being the operative word, but hey - it kept me busy for a while!
'Inventive' was the word they used in the office!
Silly hubby thought it was a compliment...
It's an 8x8 so I'm gonna hate it to some degree or other not matter what.
But that dungaree charm IS just THE cutest... don't you think?
Thanks for putting up with my plethora of posts today!
Just playing catch up and trying to stay on top of things...
Hugs to you...

The brand was established in 1999, lingering on the concept of transformation. The founders wanted to transform the idea of a "hang out" into something that's more than just a shack which serves coffee. A desire to connect to the energy of the young and peppy as well as hold on to the dapper demeanor of the distinguished, made what Aqua Java is all about today. There is nothing cliched about Aqua Java, from its very inception. It is a place that broke all rules of the neat and the ordinary. Not only was it the first kind cafe, but also was an entertainment bulldozer when it came to introducing Pool table and an excellent selection of food and beverages. The real Espresso was brewn in the minds of people here and educating them about coffee was the most interesting thing that one could come up with.
Aqua Java is also unique when it comes to in-house creation, like Crunchin' Java TM, Brownie Java TM and The Rockie road Cappuccino TM. AJ brings the most quirky creations ever and makes the Sunday not-so-boring indeed. There's always a curiosity in trying something new and its important for an experience that you would want to revisit down the memory lane when you are "hanging-out" with your best mates.

China's private sector logged a moderate growth in September as improved services activity was offset by softer manufacturing growth, survey data from IHS Markit showed Monday.
The Caixin composite output index rose marginally to 52.1 in September from 52.0 in August. A score above 50 indicates expansion.
At the same time, the services Purchasing Managers' Index picked up to 53.1 from 51.5 a month ago, to signal the strongest increase in activity for three months.
However, manufacturing production showed a marginal pace of expansion that was the weakest since October 2017.
New business followed a similar trend, with services companies registering a stronger rise in new orders. The service sector sale was the fastest since June as firms linked their growth to new product offerings and increased client bases.
Composite new order inflows continued to expand at a relatively subdued pace, with growth picking up only slightly from August's 26-month low.
Staffing levels fell across both the manufacturing and service sectors in September. Although the decline in services employment was only marginal, it marked the first reduction in the sector for over two years.
As a result, headcounts at composite level fell at the fastest rate since August 2016.
On the price front, the survey showed that the rate of input price inflation in services accelerated to the second-steepest since May 2012. Measured on a composite basis, input price inflation accelerated to a three-month high in September.
Despite the faster increase in input costs, services companies signaled broadly no change to their output charges. Overall, prices charged for Chinese goods and services increased at a marginal pace that was the slowest recorded since June 2017.
Chinese companies are generally optimistic that output will increase over the next year. Measured across both sectors, expectations fell to their second-lowest in ten months.

Red Cross assisting those in need- pic by FullShangwe Blog
As I listened to the political leader from Stone Town (aka Mji Mkongwe) I kept thinking that it is enlightening that we have Members of Parliament of such calibre. We all appreciated the fact that an MP is bold enough to stand for victims of that horrible military accident, where at least 25 innocent lives were lost.
An individual who has promoted our culture and images for five decades deserves attention. It may be a minute detail but observed from a wider perspective contributes to our national character, strength and panorama.

Imatinib in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia: current perspectives on optimal dose
the Cancer Therapy Advisor take:
Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) is a first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used for the treatment of patients with Philadelphia chromosome–positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast crisis, accelerated phase, or in chronic phase after failure of interferon-alpha therapy.
The TKI, which inhibits activity of BCR-ABL1 kinase, was the first of its kind to be successfully used in the treatment of CML.
Several clinical studies established that 400 mg daily of imatinib is safe and effective; however, doses ≥600 mg daily have also been explored to improve treatment outcomes.
One meta-analysis in particular that compared frontline imatinib 400 mg daily with high-dose imatinib in patients with CML in chronic phase demonstrated significantly higher rates of complete cytogenetic response and major molecular response at 12 months in patients who received the high dose; however, high-dose imatinib does not improve overall survival or progression-free survival and is therefore not recommended for patients as frontline therapy for chronic-phase CML.
Furthermore, high-dose imatinib is not recommended in standard-dose imatinib-resistant patients, as second- and third-generation TKIs have been shown to be more effective in these patients.
On the other hand, high-dose imatinib is recommended as a potential treatment option for CML in acute phase or blast phase.
Imatinib was the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor, successfully used in a clinical setting.
Abstract: Imatinib was the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), successfully used in a clinical setting. It inhibits activity of BCR-ABL1 oncogenic tyrosine kinase which is crucial in the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
The safety and efficacy of imatinib dose 400 mg daily was established in several clinical studies. Nevertheless, imatinib dose escalation (≥600 mg daily) has been widely explored as an option to improve clinical outcomes.
Results of the meta-analysis comparing frontline therapy with imatinib 400 mg daily vs high dose (HD, ≥600 mg daily) in patients with chronic phase CML (CML-CP) showed that the rate of complete cytogenetic response as well as major molecular response (MMR) at 12 months was significantly higher in HD imatinib group. However, HD imatinib does not improve overall survival and progression-free survival.
Thus, the routine use of HD imatinib as frontline treatment for CML-CP is not recommended. In patients with CML-CP resistant to standard dose, HD imatinib does not significantly improve patient outcomes without a prior cytogenetic response.
Therefore, in second-line therapy, the current CML-CP treatment guidelines do not recommend imatinib dose escalation but the use of second-or third-generation TKIs.
In the therapy of TKI-naïve patients with accelerated or blastic phase of CML, HD imatinib (400 mg twice daily) is one of the recommended standards. In case of disease progression while on imatinib, second- or third-generation TKIs should be administered.

How can I defend my rights?
Are you the owner of a trade mark, design or patent? Have you discovered that your goods are being counterfeited?
If so, there are three ways you can defend your rights in Switzerland. Contact the following institutions:
Report the incident to the police: the commercial sale of counterfeit and pirated goods is punishable with a custodial sentence and a monetary penalty. You can find more information on this topic on the website of the police.
Go to court: the court rules on compensation for damages, reparation and recovery of profits, as well as on any potential punishment for the perpetrators. The court can also help you remove the counterfeit goods from circulation and obtain more details on the fake goods (i.e. origin, quantity etc.). For court proceedings, we recommend you seek legal advice. More information on legal advice is available at the website of the Swiss Bar Association.
Request assistance from customs: as a rights holder in Switzerland, you can prohibit the import, export and transit of counterfeit copies of your goods. At your request, customs officials will check parcels and luggage for counterfeit goods and withhold them. In this way, counterfeits are intercepted at the border before entering the country.
You can find more information on this topic on the Swiss Customs Administration website.
Is someone infringing your copyright? Then you can take action against such an infringement by exercising your copyright (Art. 10 CopA).

So I was completely shocked. I had no clue. My Bunco group completely surprised me with a shower for the baby. It was so sweet and I got so spoiled. There were lots of diapers, wipes, diaper cream, baby wash, and lotions. Some very cute gender neutral onesies, sleeping gowns, blankets. So cute! And on top of all those goodies they also gave me cash to pick out a diaper bag and They were so kind and even gave up winning prizes- all the prizes came in the form of Babies R Us gift cards so I can buy a new double stroller.
I am BLESSED. Thank you to all of you Bunco Babes.
I am so blessed by your friendship and love.

Supersaturation: Driving Force For Crystal Nucleation & Growth
This is the third blog post in a series dedicated to crystallization. In case you missed the first and second in the series, they are available here: Introduction to Crystallization and Precipitation and Common Ways to Reduce Solubility and Drive Crystallization.
Supersaturation is the driving force for all solution crystallization processes. Crystallization scientists gain control over crystallization process and product quality by carefully controlling the prevailing level of supersaturation during the process. Continue reading
BIWIC 2010: Optimization & Scale-up of Anti-Solvent Crystallization
Later this week, scientists and engineers will join together at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany for the BIWIC 2010 – International Workshop on Industrial Crystallization. Topics at this year's International Workshop on Industrial Crystallization will include fundamentals of crystallization (thermodynamics and kinetics), process design (monitoring and modeling), product design (polymorphism, salvation, stability, chiral separation, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals), industrial applications, and intensified processes and equipment (external fields, micro technology, hybrid processes). Continue reading
Supersaturation Or the Crystal Size Distribution
Which Measurement Is More Important?
In an ideal world, you may want to directly measure the crystal population within the crystallizer (a critical product quality attribute) and measure the supersaturation which is driving the process (a critical process parameter). Today's advanced Process Analytical Technology (PAT) allows you to measure both of these critical parameters in real time. But where should you begin – especially if budget constraints limit you to implementing only one advanced measurement. Continue reading

Summary responses required
The Environment Agency will soon ask CaBA Catchment Partnerships to give them feedback on their new Catchment Summaries, which will ultimately feed into to the second generation of their River Basin Management Plans.
Catchment Summaries are documents produced by the Environment Agency: "A catchment summary is a standard Environment Agency product to provide information to help people respond to the consultation from a catchment perspective. It consists of information about 'operational catchments' grouped under summaries at the larger management catchment-scale."
Before they are finalised later in the summer, there is an opportunity for catchment partnerships to provide additional commentary on the content of the Catchment Summaries in relation to key parts of the document. Catchment partnerships are also being asked for their views on the likely scale of improvement at the operational catchment scale that might be achieved by 2021, based on a series of questions about known delivery mechanisms.
The invitation to Catchment Partnerships to help shape the Catchment Summaries and Impact Assessment will come from their Environment Agency Catchment Coordinators in the next few weeks. The partnerships need to finalise the material they want to input with the Environment Agency by the 11th July at the latest.
The Environment Agency has released a briefing note (DOWNLOAD HERE) to describe how catchment partnerships can contribute to the EA's Catchment Summaries that are being produced to support the next river basin planning consultation.

Stuck: A Night Crawler's Tale
The road was dark and long. I heard the creepy insects and the hush sound of the wind bending trees with its arms.
It was 1.a.m and I was returning from a party –my first party. A kind fellow had dropped me at 'Mokola Round About' but I couldn't get a taxi to Orogun. I stood there, waiting for a miracle to happen!
On that lonely road, I could hear a pin drop. The silence could beat that of a graveyard. The only car I saw flew back me like a kite which had caught it prey
Left with no option, I took the long trek from the 'Round About' to Orogun.
As I marched through the rain-soaked road, the cold wind wrapped its chilly arms around me.
I walked with the speed of light but few metres away; I heard thudding steps of a giant. I turned, but saw nothing. My heart raced fast. I increased my steps; the footsteps became heavier, this time, closer; it was following me.
The smell of fear and rotten bones filled my nostril. My bones quaked. When I looked up, three broad-shouldered giants stood at the entrance of the Iyaganku Cemetery.
One had a lump on his head with blood dripping from it. The other two were covered in stubble, their faces as hard as Olumo Rock and dressed in flowing black robe.
I tried to run, my legs couldn't move. They stuck like glue to the ground.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Where do you think you're running to?" one of them asked, puncturing the long silence. "Get him in!"
They grabbed and pinned me to the ground. I tried to shout. The words couldn't come out. It was like a heavy stone had been placed in my mouth.
Sweet dripped like early morning dew from my body.

Pence signs for scholarship with Bossier Parish CC
Hailey Pence's new address will end with La. (Louisiana) next fall, but it will be the place she will begin her college career with a softball scholarship to Bossier Parish Community College.
There were lots of tears and plenty of smiles at her signing on Jan. 22 - partly because the recruiting process was over and also her future is now set.
"I just want to thank everybody for pushing me to get me where I am," she said as she wiped away tears.
"For my parents for being there for me for everything," she continued, "and for my teammates for supporting me."
She wasn't the only one crying. Her mom was in tears and her dad was also shedding a few.
"This has been a long journey," her father Calvin Pence said.
Pence waddled around in diapers with a bat in her hand, her mom laughed.
"She has a real high passion for it," he said. "She's an outside kid. She has never wanted to stay inside, watch television or any of that," Calvin said.
In fact, Hailey was having a difficult time deciding on a major at college because she didn't want anything behind a desk, only something that would take her outdoors.
She played in 7U and played with her golfing brother growing up, but soon left the league ball to join select ball in Kingwood, Barbers Hill, and now a team in Lumberton.
"We've been on the road to Pascagoula, Miss., Tyler, Texas, a lot in north Texas, and Louisiana," he said about their travels.
Calvin said he hated that they jumped teams, but believes it has paid off for her.
"She's been able to work with different coaches and it has made her a well-rounded player," he said.
"She's played every position," her mom Dana said.
Hailey and her dad are very close. He spent a lot of time catching for her in the front yard when she was pitching, but he's glad her pitching days are over - for now.
"I got hit in the leg on the shin a couple of times," he said. He joked he learned to turn sideways to catch her pitches so he wouldn't get hurt.
"If I wasn't watching her arm and that release, I couldn't see the ball," he smiled.
Both of her parents are happy that she chose a community college.
"There she will get some playing time. If she had gone to a DI or DII school, she might have sat the bench for the first year," they said.
Plus, she will only be a pleasant four-hour drive from home.
Her parents, who are her biggest fans, will get to see her play in Beaumont, at San Jacinto College, Angelina and other area schools, making travel a little easier.
That might not have happened about a month ago.
Calvin, who travels around the country working in refineries, was checked into a hotel in New Orleans just before Christmas.
"I came home that night and I didn't feel right," he said.
After vomiting up a dark fluid (dried blood), he called 911 and doctors said he had a heart attack.
He had a 100 percent blockage in one of his main coronary arteries and after surgery and a stint, he's a new man.
"I'm still recovering my strength but I'll be fine," he said.
He said he was fortunate to be able to still be around to see his daughter's successes.
"She's daddy's girl but momma's world," her mom said.
"My heart is happy for her, but it's also broke," Dana said.
Her aunt lives only a mile from the school and she can go there and get a home-cooked meal.
"It helps us out and makes it a little more comfortable for her too," her mom said.
Pence is a four-year starter for the Dayton Lady Broncos softball team and was named to the 21-5A All District teams her sophomore and junior year as an outfielder.
"Hailey has been a big part of the success that we have had in the last four years," said Lady Broncos head softball coach Daryl Bell.
Bell said she gives everything she has to be the best at her position in softball.
"We will truly miss Hailey after this year but wish her all the success in her softball future," he said.
For Hailey, it's the fulfillment of a life-time dream.
"I just love it. And I love to be outside and compete," she said.
It didn't come easy; it took work.
"I began to get scouted with the select leagues and then I realized, I can do this," she said.
She set a goal of being on varsity as a freshman and has been playing varsity since.
Hailey traveled with her team to BCPP to play an exhibition game.
"I liked how their coach worked with the players and the team was bonded together," she said.
During a game where the teams were split up, Hailey endeared herself to the coach when she snatched a sure homerun hit from going over the fence at centerfield.
She was offered a scholarship and is now a Lady Cavalier. She will be the first in her family to attend college.
Hailey has already made her mind up that she wants to help people so she will pursue a degree as an Emergency Medical Technician/Paramedic and maybe a degree in nursing.
While she will play ball in Louisiana, her address is E. Texas Street. She won't be far from her heritage.

GLENDALE – After displaying an impressive arsenal of passing and running, many NFL teams are wondering if Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles will come out in May?
Bortles, a 6'4, 230-pound junior, completed 20-of-31 passes for 301 yards and three touchdowns en route to the Knights 52-42 upset win over the Bryce Petty-led Baylor Bears in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
The biggest riser in many mock drafts, Bortles is currently projected to go as high as number one overall to Houston and as low as number four to the Cleveland Browns.
Mobile, athletic and an ability for extending plays in the pocket when they break down, Bortles has been compared to two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers and 2012 top pick, Andrew Luck for his knack of heads-up smarts on the field.
Bortles displayed his running ability in rushing for 93 yards and one touchdown on nine carries. While throwing two interceptions early in the game, Bortles helped keep his stock high in making big plays throughout the game.
As of now, it is not know whether or not Bortles will declare for the 2014 NFL Draft,or wait till next year, but if there was ever a time for Bortles to bolt for the NFL, it would be now, due to the number of teams in need of a franchise quarterback such as the aforementioned Browns, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings.
Add in the fact that three of the teams—Cleveland, Houston and Minnesota—will have new coaches in need of "their guy" and Bortles could indirectly influence various NFL war rooms.
Another factor to consider in the case of Bortles is that with Oregon's Marcus Mariota—possibly UCLA's Brett Hundley—and Florida State's Jameis Winston set to head a potentially stacked 2015 class, Bortles has a better chance of being taken in the top five in 2014, thanks to a marginal class that features Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Fresno State's Derek Carr and Clemson's Tajh Boyd.
They say that when opportunity knocks, one should open, in the case of Bortles NFL door knocking, the question is will he answer?

has asked the International Registration Plan to remove the state's exception
to the IRP's owner-operator rules.
law previously required owner-operators leased to a carrier for 30 days
or more to register their vehicles in the carrier's name. That was an exception
to IRP rules. A bill signed into law by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius March 26,
SB130, changes the language of that law to allow trucks to be registered
by "the lessee or the lessor" and bringing the state into compliance with
IRP regulations.
SB130 was
supported by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association.
Sen. Les
Donovan, R-Wichita, chairman of the Transportation Committee and assistant
majority leader, added an amendment to the bill that could move its effective
date. Normally, new laws take effect in Kansas July 1, when they are published
in the state's statute book; however, the amendment will move that up to
the date the bill is published in the Kansas Register, which could
be months earlier.
The amendment
was suggested by OOIDA, Gary Green of the association's Business Services
division said. It was targeted at Kansas truckers who were registered in
Oklahoma but could no longer register their trucks in that state.

Cam'ron and A-Trak Pose Like Suave Bank Robbers on Complex Cover, Star in 'Two the Hard Way' [VIDEO]
After announcing their collaboration in January, Cam'ron and A-Trak finally open the lid on the new project that everyone's talking about, 'Federal Reserve.' The Fool's Gold founder and Dipset rapper sit down with Complex to talk about the Damon Dash connection, their first meeting and how food and music make for a better recording process.
Cam'ron is known for being a stickler for first impressions and not the easiest person to get a hold of, even if it's an important matter. So when he was asked if he would have even hit the studio with A-Trak if Damon Dash, the executive producer of 'Federal Reseve,' the rapper gave a very honest answer.
"I'm type bipolar," he says. "My mood swings change, so sometimes I may want to do something, sometimes I may not, but being that A-Trak knew Dame, it was all good. To be honest, sometimes I get in my shell and I don't want to do stuff, and sometimes I'm real active. After getting to know A-Trak, I'm really happy that I did do it. Now if he ever calls me direct, I'll answer the phone."
This isn't the first time A-Trak has worked on a Dipset project. Plus he wants everyone to know that the music they're creating is not a "throwback project." Instead, the DJ and producer is bringing Cam's timeless rhymes to the forefront again.
"To me, Cam is forever relevant. People want to hear this now," A-Trak explains. "With the world that I'm in through Fool's Gold, we're very much plugged into the generation where all these scenes interact. Cam with Dipset was one of the first ones. He laid the blueprint for that model, where kids don't only want to hear their music, kids want to rock the pink fur and post the picture on their Tumblr and live the whole lifestyle."
He continues, "For me it makes perfect sense, because this is the artist that wrote the book without realizing it a long time ago. Now everybody's living through that model and they still want to hear it. It's forever current, it's forever relevant. That's what I like to be involved with."
Music aside, we also learn that Cam'ron has many other talents including whipping up a batch of his "Killa shrimp." "It's a secret," he answers when asked about his recipes. "I can't really reveal what I put in my seasoning. I might bottle that up and sell it soon. I'll let you know when it's time to reveal my secret. It wasn't always food, but I always did my thing around the kitchen. I can't wait to put that on my resume. I'm a caterer, interior decorator -- a lot of hobbies people don't know I do."

Semi collision closes rural Louisiana highway
NORWOOD - Highway 67 south of the state line was closed Wednesday evening as State Police worked a crash involving two 18-wheelers.
Authorities said little information was available shortly after the wreck, but did describe the crash as being a "serious injury" collision. The wreck happened about a mile or two from the state line.
Highway 67 is a rural, two-lane highway that connects Clinton to Liberty, Mississippi. After crossing into Mississippi, the highway becomes Hwy. 569.
"The road is shut down because there are logs and diesel fuel all over the roadway," Jared Sandifer, with Louisiana State Police, said.

There are so many things that those who are interested in purchasing their first vessel are completely oblivious about, that it's enough to make your head spin. They make so many mistakes because they just don't take the time to educate themselves about buying and owning a boat. Oftentimes, owning a boat has been a dream, and all of a sudden, they see one with a For Sale sign, and make a spur of the moment purchase. This is the absolute worst thing you can do. It is so very important that the vessel be thoroughly inspected by a professional marine surveying company. They will be able to inspect the boat, evaluate all of the systems, and provide you with a detailed report about it. This will give the potential buyer a head up as to what is wrong with the boat, what may be going wrong in the near future, as well as be a useful bargaining tool for negotiating a fair price. It can prevent you from buying a boat that will cause you to be throwing good money after bad. Simex Marine Surveyors offer pre-purchase evaluation surveys throughout South Florida.
For the vast majority of boat owners, their vessels are no less than children in their hearts and minds. We all have (what others call strange) attachments to our vessels. This is certainly not outside of the norm when it comes to boat ownership. You are part of a very large group that spans across the globe. When your vessel is damaged in one way or another it, it can truly be a problematic thing. Handling everything with the insurance company and marine repair facility can be super stressful, and confusing at times. The one thing you should know is that you will be required by your insurance company to have a professional marine surveyor perform a marine damage survey. There is no way around it. It's no different from having the car insurance adjuster evaluating the damages that your vehicle sustained in an accident. It's the way things work with insurance. Simex Marine Surveyors provides in-depth surveys for damage to vessels in Fort Lauderdale and throughout SE Florida.
Those who have owned watercrafts before, understand the intricacies involved with obtaining the proper insurance coverage for their vessels however; newcomers to the boat world are usually oblivious to how the marine insurance company world works. Unfortunately, once their blinders are removed and they become educated about the requirements, most of them are utterly baffled. They generally think vessel insurance is like car insurance; you pick up the phone, give them a VIN number and poof, you're insured. They're flabbergasted when they find out they need an insurance evaluation done by a marine surveyor. This is why it is important to do the research before you jump feet first into owning your own vessel. A marine insurance survey is an in-depth evaluation of the vessel and all of its systems. The insurance company needs this to gauge the value of the boat, and how much it insurance they are willing to provide. Simex Marine Surveyors offers comprehensive marine insurance evaluations throughout Palm Beach County.
If there is one thing that the vast majority of people living in South Florida can agree upon, it's the fact that they all love the water, and everything that living near it brings. From basking in the sun on the silky sand beaches, and frolicking in the water as the waves lap at the shore, to casting into the bay in hope of catching a big fish, and feeling the waves under the boat as you race across the Atlantic, most residents love it all. It is most people's dream to actually own their own boats, so they can go out on the water whenever they feel the need to experience that freedom that boating provides. Unfortunately, many people see a vessel that looks nice, and make a spur of the moment decision to buy it. Unfortunately, most of those buyers quickly realize that they were bamboozled, and spent their hard-earned savings on a money pit. This can be avoided very easily, if you make sure to have a professional inspect the boat before you hand over your cash. Simex Marine Surveyors offer complete pre-purchase inspections for vessels in Palm Beach County.
There are plenty of yacht owners who firmly believe that they can easily take the helm of their vessels and make their way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean by way of the famous Panama Canal. While it definitely sounds like it would be an incredible adventure and experience to do so, many mariners find it difficult to maneuver their large vessels through the narrow locks. In all reality, the locks are only a little bit wider that one hundred feet across. This could certainly pose a major league problem for the average boater. It can truly be quite daunting however; a professional Captain could handily take on this task without issue. All of the YouTube videos and Yachting magazine articles in the world cannot make up for lack of experience with a vessel. It is absolutely essential that an expert Captain handle the trip from coast to coast for you. Of course, you certainly could stay aboard the vessel during the transoceanic trip. Simex Marine Surveyors provides complete yacht delivery services from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Coast.
No matter how experienced the average mariner is, learning all of the functions and quirks involved with mastering the operation of an unfamiliar vessel can be nothing short of a nightmare. It takes a lot of time to know and understand all of the intricacies involved with maneuvering an unfamiliar vessel through oftentimes, narrow intracoastal waterways. Being on the water without having a thorough knowledge of the yacht you are at the helm of can prove to be dangerous for all onboard, as well as for others which you are sharing the water. Safety should always be the top priority on the list when getting a vessel from one area to another. By hiring a professional company to take care of getting your boat from where it is to where you want it to be, you can rest assured that the vessel will get there without issue. It seems to be the smartest thing to do. Simex Marine Surveyors provides the highest quality vessel delivery services for SE Florida inland route transport available in Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas.
Relocating a large vessel from one coastal waterway to another can be a daunting task, even for a seasoned mariner. This is especially true when it comes down to manoeuvring the vessel through the locks of the Panama Canal. Considering the locks are only a little over one hundred feet wide, there's no shame in finding it to be a bit more than the average yacht owner can handle. In all honesty, it's much wiser to play it safe, rather than be sorry later on down the line. You certainly would not want your precious vessel to be damaged because of your lack of experience going through the canal! Many mariners opt to hire an experienced Captain who is extremely familiar with the transoceanic delivery of vessels. You should never let your lack of expertise jeopardize the safety of your vessel, and those who are aboard it. Or those who are aboard yachts in the area. Simex Marine Surveyors offers a seasoned Captain with decades of experience for transoceanic yacht delivery worldwide.
Many people and even new boat owners do not realize that you are required in Florida to insure your watercraft vessel, it is a state requirement just like insuring your vehicle on roadways. This protects you, your vessel and other' property. The biggest difference between insuring your vehicle and your watercraft is that the insurance companies for watercraft vessels require a marine insurance evaluation survey. This must be completed by a vessel evaluation inspector. Until this evaluation survey is completed you cannot secure the required insurance for your vessel in West Palm Beach. Simex International Marine Surveyors will relieve all the stress of getting this completed.
Most seasoned mariners know that it is of the utmost importance to have a trusted and knowledgeable marine surveyor on which they can rely. Those new to boating tend to believe that they can watch a few YouTube videos and read a couple of webpages about boating and they will be experts on the subject. Unfortunately for them, that miniscule amount of information can prove to be incredibly dangerous and expensive in the long run. You wouldn't believe the number of people who go out in search of their first boats, and turn over their hard-earned money without having the boat evaluated by a professional marine vessel surveyor. Nine times out of ten, the person has simply thrown his money out the window. The issues with the boat they got a "great deal" on, more often than not will cost far more than the value of the vessel. All of this headache could have been avoided by contacting an inspector for the boat. Simex Marine Surveyors offers professional consultants for inspections before you buy a boat in Palm Beach County.
Most of the families who live in the Palm Beach County area either have boats, or are saving as much as they can to make their first vessel purchase. It seems that each time a vessel owner decides to by a new boat, they constantly get larger and larger vessels. Once you find something that you love to do, you always want bigger and better equipment, and the same holds true with boating. Eventually, the avid mariner will work himself up to a yacht. As you probably know, every vessel is different. It would surely be beneficial for the lucky family to take part in training sessions with qualified yacht instructors. The training classes will help everyone learn how to safely operate the vessel, as well as all of its systems. This is very important for everyone's safety. Simex Marine Surveyors offers classes with highly skilled boating consultants in Boca Raton.
There are many requirements that an insurance company expects the Fort Lauderdale owner of a vessel to comply with, including a mandatory marine insurance survey. When you need marine consultants in Fort Lauderdale, it would be wise to contact the most widely sought after vessel insurance inspectors in the area, Simex International – Marine Surveyors in Fort Lauderdale.
A Marine Survey is an impartial critical examination of a marine vessel to ascertain facts regarding its condition. The exact nature of the survey will determine what is to be inspected. Most frequently asked for, is a Condition & Valuation Survey, commissioned to satisfy a potential buyer of the Fair Market Value of the subject asset. The vessel's structure, its support systems, equipment and electronics are inspected and tested, the vessel is dry-docked and Sea Trials conducted.
Insurance Surveys may be as stringent, but depend on what the Insurers demands are.
Customs Valuation Surveys relate to the importation into the USA of foreign built vessels.
Valuation Surveys for the IRS are related to the donation of vessels to charitable causes, to enable the owner to gain a tax write off.
Marine Surveys should be conducted by experienced and competent inspectors who are licensed and insured.

I thought I'd share some weird moments of my week with you all. I know, I know, it's exactly what you've been hoping for. Well, here we go:
1. This story about Charlotte Crosby getting a boob job because she has a 'uniboob deformity' which immediately resulted in me panicking that I secretly also have a uniboob deformity, spending most of my afternoon trying to check out my boobs under my top at work and looking up how much a boob job would set me back. (£5k min, for the record.)
(Big up my best friend in the world Amy, who all the way from Singapore was able to offer me words of wisdom. And yes, she has seen my boobs.)
2. I discovered a part of Youtube where there is a community of people who 'dumpster dive' and make haul videos on all the things they've found in bins. This makes my germ-phobia tingle in a bad way. But at the same time I started watching one in horror and three hours later I think I've watched all of them. *SPOILER: All they find is shit*
3. I've cried (several times) in front of (several different) people at work this week, which yes, is just as horrifying and shameful as you would imagine it to be. In fact, I've replayed it several times in my head every second of every day since and every time I am filled with more embarrassment. It's boring but it's part of my life.
4. I bought some velvet flared dungarees. They sound repugnant but make me feel like Christmas, and Steven doesn't actively hate them and try to put them in the bin when I'm not looking like most of my clothes, so that's a great sign.
5. I watched all of Stanger Things, cried a little too much in the last episode and decided that yes, I do indeed fancy Steve, and yes, even with the mullet.

My favourite Rangemaster function
Posted by Alexandra Dibble Thursday, 2nd June 2016
I have been asked to pick my favourite function on a Rangemaster but I can't choose just one function, so I am going for the multifunction oven and all of the functions therein!
To explain why, I think it will be easier for me to describe cooking something in the multifunction oven which will use 3 of its functions. An all-time favourite – a quiche or a savoury tart, is a good example.0 Comments
Supersized Christmas
Posted by Hayley Gilbert Tuesday, 1st December 2015
They say that good things come in small packages and whilst this is true in many respects, bigger is definitely better when it comes to cooking the Christmas feast. When you consider all the elements that make up this traditional family meal, from the roast potatoes crisp with goose fat to the turkey surrounded by little pigs in blankets, not to mention the vegetables, the gravy and the Christmas pudding, as well as any extra sides and vegetarian dishes, it's essential to have the biggest ovens you can sensibly squeeze into the kitchen. Rangemaster's Excel 110 range cooker is guaranteed to take the stress out of the big day as it comes with two large A-rated ovens, a smaller slow cook oven, grill, warming zone, griddle and six-burner gas hob. Take your pick from silver, gloss black, stainless steel, royal pearl, slate or, perfect for the festive season, a mouthwatering cranberry shade to suit your scheme.0 Comments
5 Step Plan to cooking for a party
Posted by James McIntosh Wednesday, 18th November 2015
Four chickens cooked in one oven at a time. That's right, Four. Or 4 lasagnes' or 4 cottage pies or even 4 quiches. And I don't mean small ones. That's just one of the features of selected Rangemaster range cookers.
With Christmas coming up and family occasions to cook for, most of us host a big meal at least once. It can be stressful planning not only what to cook, but also to ensure it's all cooked perfectly when served. Ovens can cook more than one thing at once, but do be careful of putting items straight from the fridge into the oven as it will lower the temperature. Rangemaster ovens will come back to temperature quickly though.0 Comments
Defrosting Food in your Multifunction Oven
Posted by Alexandra Dibble Monday, 2nd November 2015
We have probably all defrosted food in a microwave oven with varying degrees of success as the food often becomes partially cooked which isn't what we want at all! The key to defrosting is to not apply any heat but microwaves do apply heat!
Defrosting food in your Rangemaster multifunction oven is easy; just put the food in the oven and select the defrost function and away you go! If your oven shelves are clean you can put the food directly on to them, if not, put the food on a rack over a tray, this way the air can circulate all around the food (check out my blog on oven cleaning!).

The Rapid Response Function In Your Rangemaster
Posted by Alexandra Dibble Monday, 19th October 2015
This function does exactly what you would expect it to – it heats the oven up quickly!
It is really useful for one of those 'oh blow it, I forgot to turn the oven on' moments that we all have! Rapid Response heats the oven up faster than normal with the extra heat from the element in the top of the oven. All you need to do is select Rapid Response - R - on the multi-function control knob and then the temperature you need; the oven will then heat to your chosen temperature faster than normal. The light on the fascia by the R symbol will come on and will go off when the temperature you have selected is reached. The fan function then takes over.0 Comments
The Fan Assisted Function in your Multifunction Oven
Posted by Alexandra Dibble Tuesday, 30th June 2015
This is another in the series of blogs on each of the oven functions you will find on Rangemaster ovens. I hope you have found each of them useful. Don't forget, if you have any questions or comments, please let us know.
Not all oven manufacturers use the same terminology for each of the oven functions so it is important to know what is happening in your oven when using them. The fan assisted function in your multifunction oven operates using the fan without the fan element; the element in the roof of the oven and another below the floor of the oven produce the heat to cook your food.0 Comments

Once the New Year is underway, it's time to brush off those New Years' Resolutions and start as you mean to go on. For many of us, that means embracing a whole new healthy lifestyle, including moderating the way we cook. Okay, so the gym membership may not make it past March but I find that changing cooking and eating habits is a lot easier – and more fun, too.0 Comments
