After a month of night duty (and no sleep) every other night and a lot of hard graft every day, this week something had to give. I’m really sorry that it is SnC, it is one thing that has been keeping me motivated and sane.\nI’m hopeful that it will only be this week and that we’ll have a more sustainable regime in place very soon.\nIn the meantime please check out what Codger and the like are playing over at AMP and be sure to give this excellent video from Jordan Reyne a look. She does have a way with a song that woman!\nAll being well, I’ll catch you next week.\nPeter\nRecent Discussion"}

{"text": "It sometimes is challenging to find straight-forward, science-based information related to infant formula, its nutritional efficacy and safety. We believe it’s important to provide accurate and unbiased information in order to help separate fact from fiction. Below, we’ve put together answers to some of the most common misconceptions related to formula. If you wish to ask us about any questions, please see our Contact Us page.\nThe health and safety of our consumers is and always has been our highest priority.\nParents can be completely confident that infant formula containing biotech ingredients is safe for consumption. There is a large body of scientific evidence supporting the safety of foods produced through biotechnology. In contrast, there is absolutely no credible research that suggests foods produced through biotechnology cause negative health effects for those who consume them – including infants. Ignoring proven science and improperly implying that foods with ingredients derived from biotechnology are somehow unhealthy only serves to needlessly confuse and concern parents who only want the best for their children.\nA broad range of regulatory agencies, scientists, and health professionals, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the World Health Organization, have reviewed the extensive body of scientific evidence and agree that foods and ingredients produced through biotechnology are completely safe for adults and children – including infants – to consume. In its most recent clinical report in this area, the American Academy of Pediatrics notes, “Nutritional differences between organic and conventional produce appear minimal…no direct evidence of a clinically relevant nutritional difference between organic and conventional produce exists.” In addition, the American Medical Association has stated bioengineered foods have been consumed for nearly 20 years and “during that time, no overt consequences on human health have been reported and/or substantiated in the peer-reviewed literature.”\nInfant formulas are among the most highly regulated foods in the world. Likewise, biotechnology products in the United States are regulated more strictly than any other agricultural or food product in history. In all markets, we carefully adhere to all government and health authority rules and regulations – in addition to our own very stringent Mead Johnson standards. This comprehensive and thorough oversight provides extra protection for the safety of all ingredients used in our infant formulas and toddler products.\nFor more information, please see:\nMead Johnson does not add table sugar to any of its infant formulas. Similar to breast milk, most of our milk-based formulas contain a carbohydrate called lactose, and sugar is a naturally-occurring component in lactose. Our infant formulas are designed to provide a level of carbohydrate similar to the level of carbohydrate in breast milk. In our lactose-free formulas, corn syrup solids are often used to replace lactose as a carbohydrate source because they result in a formula with a carbohydrate level, taste and tolerance similar to human milk. Corn syrup solids are NOT the same as corn syrup or high-fructose corn syrup. Corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup have a sweet taste because they contain fructose. They are not intended for infants and are not used in our infant formula products.\nChildhood obesity is a complex issue and many factors – including caloric intake, physical activity and genetics – are involved in maintaining a healthy weight. An extensive body of research shows no direct cause and effect relationship between infant feeding and obesity. Specifically, no studies have shown that breastfeeding prevents obesity or, conversely, that feeding infant formula causes obesity. In fact, the largest study to date examining breastfeeding and its influence on adult weight status found that women who were breastfed did not have lower incidence of overweight or obesity in adulthood when compared to women who were not breastfed.\nMead Johnson is committed to promoting breastfeeding, and we've never seen any evidence that our marketing practices discourage it. We also recognize that – for a variety of reasons – some mothers cannot breastfeed or chose not to, or choose to supplement or discontinue breastfeeding at some point. In those situations, the only recognized, safe alternative to breast milk is iron-fortified infant formula.\nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) monitors infant formula products as part of its responsibility. The agency conducts yearly inspections of all facilities that manufacture infant formula, and collects and analyzes product samples. The FDA also inspects new facilities.\nIn addition to FDA monitoring, Mead Johnson is committed to using the most stringent manufacturing, packaging and quality assurance procedures in order to continue to provide safe, high-quality and beneficial products to nourish children for the best start in life. No product is released if it does not meet our rigorous standards for safety and quality.\nA representative number of samples from every batch we produce are tested to ensure the product meets our stringent quality specifications and samples of every batch we produce are retained as an extra measure of safety.\nFor more information, please see:"}

I would have loved to work with her. Thankful to have met her though. Rest in Peace Jean x.”\nSean Tully actor Anthony Cotton said Alexander was “magnificent”, adding: “My favourite episode of Coronation Street ever, was Hilda singing ‘Wish Me Luck...”’\nCurrent Corrie actor and comedian Les Dennis posted: “Stan-What’s that smell? Hilda-Woman, Stanley, woman.\n“Goodbye to a true @itvcorrie great. You enriched all of our lives. RIP Jean Alexander.”\nThe soap's Eva Price, Catherine Tyldesley, said: “RIP Jean Alexander ... What a mark you made. Legend xxxx,” with Georgia May Foote adding: “Jean Alexander such an incredible actress. My thoughts are with your family. #womanstanleywoman.”\nSally Dynevor , whose character Sally Webster appeared alongside Hilda in the late 1980s, described her co-star as a “wonderful woman, and such an amazing and talented actress”.\nBut it wasn’t just the acting world that mourned the loss of Alexander.\nBoy George tweeted: “Some folk get in where castor oil can’t” R.I.P Hilda Ogden, Jean Alexander. A great British character actress.”\nTalkSPORT’s Mike Parry wrote: “Really sad to learn of the death of Jean Alexander .. Hilda Ogden .. of Coronation Street fame. Grew up with her and Stan on the cobbles ..”.”\nAlexander started her career in Macclesfield, Oldham and Stockport, before she began her stint on the cobbles in 1964 and left in 1987.\nThe following year she joined BBC sitcom Last of the Summer Wine as bric-a-brac shop owner Auntie Wainwright, remaining on the programme until 2010, describing her time on the show as the “absolute favourite part” of her career.\nFans also paid tribute on the M.E.N.’s Facebook page with more than 1,000 tributes after we broke the sad news.\nLiz Sherriff wrote: “What does that lipstick taste of?”. “Woman, Stanley. Woman”. R.I.P Jean Alexander X\nJoanne Hassall said: “A true corrie legend. Two of my childhood memories of her are “woman stanley, woman” and after Stan dies and she opens his glasses case and cries....so reminds me of when my grandad died and my nana did the same - thankyou Jean Alexander for a lifetime of memories and laughs and condolences to your family at this sad time.

{"text": "Chapter 2: Data Analytics Life Cycle\n- Christiana Parker\n- 1 years ago\n- Views:\nTranscription\n1 Section 1. Data Analytics Lifecycle Overview The Data Analytics Lifecycle is designed specifically for Big Data problems and data science projects. The lifecycle has six phases, and project work can occur in several phases at once. For most phases in the lifecycle, the movement can be either forward or backward. This iterative depiction of the lifecycle is intended to more closely portray. The following are the key roles for a successful analytics project: Business User: Someone who understands the domain area and usually benefits from the results. This person can consult and advise the project team on the context of the project, the value of the results, and how the outputs will be operationalized. Usually a business analyst, line manager, or deep subject matter expert in the project domain fulfills this role. Project Sponsor: Responsible for the genesis of the project. Provides the impetus and requirements for the project and defines the core business problem. Generally provides the funding and gauges the degree of value from the final outputs of the working team. This person sets the priorities for the project and clarifies the desired outputs. Project Manager: Ensures that key milestones and objectives are met on time and at the expected quality. Database Administrator (DBA): Provisions and configures the database environment to support the analytics needs of the working team. These responsibilities may include providing access to key databases or tables and ensuring the appropriate security levels are in place related to the data repositories. Data Engineer: Leverages deep technical skills to assist with tuning SQL queries for data management and data extraction, and provides support for data ingestion into the analytic sandbox, which DATA ANALYTICS LIFECYCLE was discussed in Chapter 1, \"Introduction to Big Data Analytics.\" Whereas the DBA sets up and configures the databases to be used, the data engineer executes the actual data extractions and performs substantial data manipulation to facilitate the analytics. The data engineer works closely with the data scientist to help shape data in the right ways for analyses. 1\n2 Data Scientist: Provides subject matter expertise for analytical techniques, data modeling, and applying valid analytical techniques to given business problems. Ensures overall analytics objectives are met. Designs and executes analytical methods and approaches with the data available to the project. Although most of these roles are not new, the last two roles-data engineer and data scientist. Section 2. Background and Overview of Data Analytics Lifecycle The Data Analytics Lifecycle defines analytics process best practices spanning discovery to project completion. The lifecycle draws from established methods in the realm of data analytics and decision science. This synthesis was developed after gathering input from data scientists and consulting established approaches that provided input on pieces of the process. Several of the processes that were consulted include these: Scientific method [3], in use for centuries, still provides a solid framework for thinking about and deconstructing problems into their principal parts. One of the most valuable ideas of the scientific method relates to forming hypotheses and finding ways to test ideas. CRISP-OM [4] provides useful input on ways to frame analytics problems and is a popular approach for data mining. Tom Davenport's DELTA framework [5]: The DELTA framework offers an approach for data analytics projects, including the context of the organization's skills, datasets, and leadership engagement. Doug Hubbard's Applied Information Economics (AlE) approach [6]: AlE provides a framework for measuring intangibles and provides guidance on developing decision models, calibrating expert estimates, and deriving the expected value of information. \"MAD Skills\" by Cohen et al. [7] offers input for several of the techniques mentioned in Phases 2-4 that focus on model planning, execution, and key findings. Section 3. illustrates the overview of the Data Analyics Life Cycle Phase 1- Discovery: In Phase 1, the team learns the business domain, including relevant history such as whether the organization or business unit has attempted similar projects in the past from which they can learn. The team assesses the resources available to support the project in terms of people, technology, time, and data. Important activities in this phase include framing the business problem as an analytics challenge that can be addressed in subsequent phases and formulating initial hypotheses (IHs) to test and begin learning the data. 2\n3 Phase 2- Data preparation: Phase 2 requires the presence of an analytic sandbox, in which the team can work with data and perform analytics for the duration of the project. The team needs to execute extract, load, and transform (ELT) or extract, transform and load (ETL) to get data into the sandbox. The ELT and ETL are sometimes abbreviated as ETLT. Data should be transformed in the ETLT process so the team can work with it and analyze it. In this phase, the team also needs to familiarize itself with the data thoroughly and take steps to condition the data (Section 2.3.4). DATA ANALYTICS LIFECYCLE Phase 3-Model planning: Phase 3 is model planning, where the team determines the methods, techniques, and workflow it intends to follow for the subsequent model building phase. The team explores the data to learn about the relationships between variables and subsequently selects key variables and the most suitable models. Phase 4-Model building: Phase 4, the team develops data sets for testing, training, and production purposes. In addition, in this phase the team builds and executes models based on the work done in the model planning phase. The team also considers whether its existing tools will suffice for running the models, or if it will need a more robust environment for executing models and work flows (for example, fast hardware and parallel processing, if applicable). Phase 5-Communicate results: Phase 5, the team, in collaboration with major stakeholders, determines if the results of the project are a success or a failure based on the criteria developed in Phase 1. The team should identify key findings, quantify the business value, and develop a narrative to summarize and convey findings to stakeholders. Phase 6-0perationalize: Phase 6, the team delivers final reports, briefings, code, and technical documents. In addition, the team may run a pilot project to implement the models in a production environment. Key Concepts to keep In mind: Developing Initial Hypotheses Developing a set of IHs is a key facet of the discovery phase. This step involves forming ideas that the team can test with data. Generally, it is best to come up with a few primary hypotheses to test and then be creative about developing several more. 3\n4 These IHs form the basis of the analytical tests the team will use in later phases and serve as the foundation for the findings in Phase 5. Hypothesis testing from a statistical perspective is covered in greater detail in Chapter 3, \"Review of Basic Data Analytic Methods Using R.\" Preparing the Analytic Sandbox 2.3 Phase 2: Data Preparation Do I have enough good quality data to start building the model? The first subphase of data preparation requires the team to obtain an analytic sandbox (also commonly referred to as a workspace), in which the team ca n explore the data without interfering with live production databases. Consider an example in which the team needs to work with a company's financial data. Section 4: The following Common Tools are use for the Model Planning Phase R [14] has a complete set of modeling capabilities and provides a good environment for building interpretive models with high-quality code.ln addition, it has the ability to interface with databases via an ODBC connection and execute statistical tests and analyses against Big Data via an open source connection. These two factors make R well suited to performing statistical tests and analytics on Big Data. As of this writing, R contains nearly 5,000 packages for data analysis and graphical representation. New packages are posted frequently, and many companies are providing value-add DATA ANALVTICS LIFECVCLE services for R (such as training, instruction, and best practices), as well as packaging it in ways to make it easier to use and more robust. This phenomenon is similar to what happened with Linux in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when companies appeared to package and make Linux easier for companies to consume and deploy. UseR with fi le extracts for offline analysis and optimal performance, and use RODBC connections for dynamic queries and faster development. SQL Analysis services [1 5] can perform in-database analytics of common data mining functions, involved aggregations, and basic predictive models. SAS/ACCESS [16] provides integration between SAS and the analytics sandbox via multiple data connectors such as OBDC, JOB(, and OLE DB. SAS itself is generally used on file extract s, but with SAS/ACCESS, users can connect to relational databases (such as Oracle or Teradata) and data warehouse appliances (such as Green plum or Aster), files, and enterprise applications (such as SAP and Salesforce.com). 2.5 Phase 4: Model Building 4\n5 The following are more Common Tools for the Data Preparation Phase Several tools are commonly used for this phase:: The following are a list of the key outputs for each of the main stakeholders of an analytics project and what they usually expect at the conclusion of a project. Business User typically tries to determine the benefits and implications of the findings to the business. Project Sponsor typically asks questions related to the business impact of the project, the risks and return on investment (ROI), and the way the project can be evangelized within the organization (and beyond) Project Manager needs to determine if the project was completed on time and within budget and how well the goals were met. Business Intelligence Analyst needs to know if the reports and dashboards he manages will be impacted and need to change. Data Engineer and Database Administrator (DBA) typical ly need to share their code from the analytics project and create a technical document on how to implement it. 5\n6 Data Scientist needs to share the code and explain the model to her peers, managers, and other stakeholders. Although these seven roles represent many interests within a project, these interests usually overlap, and most of them can be met with four main deliverables. Chapter Summay: This chapter described the Data Analytics Lifecycle, which is an approach to managing and executing analytical projects. This approach describes the process in six phases. 1. Discovery 2. Data preparation 3. Model planning 4. Model building 5. Commun icate results 6. Operationalize The above steps are used by Data Scirnce teams to identify problems and perform rigorous investigation of the datasets needed for in-depth analysis. Big Dat Pilot Program Requirements and Planning Define and articulate Big Data Solution requirements, scoping and planning Solution Outline Create a conceptual high-level view of the solutions by defining the components of the solutions and the scope Macro/Micro Design Top-level logical design for the big data solution including the data integration system, data repositories, the analytics system and the access system. Deliver the final, detailed set of blue prints for the building the big data solution Build Construct the big data solution/environments including the data integration system, the data repositories, the analytics system and the access system Deploy Implement the big data solutions in the productions environment and deliver to the user community. Training and knowledge tranfer 6\n7 Full Scale. Exercises; 1. In which phase would the team expect to invst most of the project time? Why? Where would the team expect to spend the least time? A team would invst most of the project time in the Phase 1: Discovery because of the amount of time to examine the following steps: o Learning the business Domain o Learning the resources o Framing the problem o Identifying Key stakeholders o Interviewing the Analytics Sponson o Developing Initial hypotheses o Identifing Potential Data Sources The Phase 5 Communicate would be the lease time because of the presentation and conferences as well as promoted through social media and blogs. 2. Whar are the benefits of doing a pilot program before a full-scale rollout of a new analytical method-ology? Dicuss this in the context of the mini case study. A pilot project can refer to a project prior to a full scale rollout of new algorithms or functionality. This pilot can be a project with a more limited scope and rollout to the line of business, products, or services affected by new methods The teram s ability to quanity the benefits and share them in a compelling way with the Stakeholders will determine if the work will move forward into a pilot project and ultimately be run in a production environment. Therefore it is critical to identify the benefits and state them in a clear eay in the final presentation. 7\n8 3. What kinds of tools would be used in the following phases; and for which kinds of use scenarios? a. Phase 2; Data preparation Phase 2 which includes thye steps to explore. Preprocess, and condition data prior to modeling and analysis, In this phase the team needs to create a robust environment to explore the data that is sepate from th production environment. This is done by preparing an analytic sandbox. The following tools are known to be used for Phase 2 of Data Preparation: 8\n9 B. Phase 4; Model building Common Tools for the Model Building Phase: There are many toolsavai lable to assist in this phase, focused primarily on statistical analysis ordata mining software. Common tools in this space include, but are not limited to, the following: Commercial Tools: SAS Enterprise Miner (17) allows users to run predictive and descriptive models based on large volumes ofdata from across the enterprise. It interoperates with otherlarge data stores, has many partnerships, and is built for enterpri se-level computing and analytics. SPSSModeler [18) (provided by IBM and now called IBM SPSS Modeler) offers methods to explore and analyze data through a GUI. Matlab [19) provides a high-level language for performing a variety of data analytics, algorithms, and data exploration. Alpine Miner [11) provides a GUI front end for usersto develop analytic workfiows and interact with Big Data tools and platforms on the back end. STATISTI CA [20) and Mathemati ca [21) are also popular and well-regarded data mining and analytics tools. Free or Open Source tools: Rand PL/R [14) Rwas described earlier in the model planning phase, and PL!R is aprocedural language for PostgreSQL with R. Using this approach means that Rcommands can be executed in database. This technique provides higher performance and is more scalable than running Rin memory. Octave [22), afree software programming language for computational modeling, has some of the functionality ofmatlab. Because it is freely available, Octave is used in major universities when teaching machine learning. 9\n10 WEKA [23) is a free data mining softwarepackage with an analytic workbench. The functions created in WEKA can be executed within Java code. Pyth on is aprogramming language that provides toolkits for machine learning and analysis, such as scikit-learn, numpy, scipy, pandas, and related data visualization using matplotlib. SQL in-database implementations, such as MADl ib [241. provide an alterative to in memory desktop analytical tools. MADiib provides an open-source machine learning library ofalgorithms that can be executed in-database, for PostgreSQL or Greenplum.

{"text": "I sent out my thank you notes just after the 4 month mark. But since sending them out we've received several comments form our guests ? one at Thanksgiving saying he received the thank you note... with a whole lengthy convo about how long its been and that its \"better late than never\", one of K's colleagues at work straight out asked him \"why bother after so long?\".\nMaybe I shouldn't be, but I'm a little offended. The reason i took so long to send them out is that i wanted to make sure that each note was personal, and not just copied from a template... plus i waited to receive our pro pics back (which took over 3 months) so i could include pics with our thank you notes. Now I am wishing that I just whipped something generic out on the honeymon flight b/c it seems that is what people would have preferred...\nI guess I am just surprised about this b/c I was under the impression that it was acceptable to send thank you's out out up to 6 months after the wedding (and some even say a year!). Anyone else get snarky comments from their guests about your thank you's??\nRe: thankyou notes snark\nMy Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)\nMy 101\nOctober 2013 February Siggy Challenge: Valentine's Day Fail\nEDD 10/3/13\nLucy Elizabeth 10.27.12\nI think it's rude to make any comment like this. I wouldn't dream of saying anything along these lines to someone. However, one of my BFF's took about 5 months to send hers out (did not include photo) and I was honestly very shocked by that. I hate to admit this, but in a way, it made me lose a little respect for her I think. But thank you notes are important to me and my mom always made us write them for everything growing up so I may take it more seriously than most. I sent out 2 rounds of wedding thank-yous--one round the Wednesday after the wedding with personalized messages and another round about 6 weeks later when I had our photo card made up that just had the thank you printed on the inside.?\nThis may be why I am not sending out Christmas cards this year! I am carded out...\nHomemadebyHolman\nFollow me on Twitter\nBecome a Fan on Facebook\nMarried\nWell........\nYes, it was rude of them to say something. There is no question about that. No, I haven't had anyone say anything like this to me, and I would probably point out their rudeness in doing so (which would be rude of me...oh, the viscious cycle).\nBut the six months to one year thing actually applies to sending gifts for a wedding, not to writing Thank You notes. Thank Yous are supposed to be written and sent 6-8 weeks after the ceremony or after you receive the gift (if it's well before or well after the ceremony). However, all ettiquette experts/books/websites agree that late is better than not at all.\nNow, did I get all mine written and sent by the 8 week mark? Heck no! But it is the \"standard rule\"...I just recognize that I broke it, and I recognize that there are probably people who jusge me for it.\nThe only thing I've heard about our thank you's was how everyone loved that they had our picture on the front.\nThat all being said, I had mine done 6 weeks after the wedding. B wrote his own and got the last of them out in early September. I do know that we forgot one of his aunts, however, so I need to jump on that ASAP. To be fair, she sent a card way late, so it's kind of sort of not our fault, but I need to remember to do it before we send them a Christmas card haha\nThis is funny to me that this is a topic today because I just got a thank you in the mail for a wedding that occurred Memorial Weekend. DH and I both said at the same time - \"why'd they even bother?!\" I guess I view thank you cards in the same way angelfire does as my mom was also a stickler about them. But now I am too! I had mine done and in the mail within 2 weeks after the wedding (but I also had a good motivator as I wanted to get them done before our honeymoon, which was 2 1/2 weeks after the wedding). I feel like 3-4 months is fine, 6 is pushing it, and a year is just too long.\nAlso - the only reason I didn't worry about that person getting the gift is because it was a check and she cashed it right away. I always hope that the couple gets the gift and I feel the thank you is a good way to know for sure. I don't expect them from anyone, but I do think they are a nice way to express appreciation.\nOctober 2013 February Siggy Challenge: Valentine's Day Fail\nEDD 10/3/13"}

{"text": "\nA -- regardless of income -- $400, the council ties its credit to income level.\nThe council wants to give tax credits to businesses that hire welfare recipients, former felons, or people with physical or mental disabilities. It also would like to increase the city's Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income workers..\nThe city’s spring budget process looks to be an especially interesting one, as substantial proposals get debated at City Hall.,\" she said.\nÂ\nWith\nNorm\nWhen in his State of the City address, Mayor Michael Bloomberg promised New Yorkers a billion dollars in \"tax relief,\" he described it as \"a broad-based package of tax cuts, designed to \"make New York an even more attractive place.\"\nSo, should New Yorkers be rejoicing? Should they expect a windfall in their tax bills?\n\"Not really,\" said Doug Turetsky of the Independent Budget Office, answering the second question.\n\"It's clear that this is largely symbolic,\" said James Parrott of the Fiscal Policy Institute, answering the first.\nBudget experts across the political spectrum say that the average New Yorker will not see a change in their tax bill, and that the plan will not do much to spur the economy. Some say Bloomberg's plan is a positive step, but could have been stronger; others say he has \"squandered\" an opportunity to reform a property tax system they see as much in need of reform.\nFor the fifth time in the last six years, the city has a large surplus. According to the Independent Budget Office, this year's total is $2.1 billion (report in pdf format), the windfall coming from big profits on Wall Street and the continued success of the real estate industry. The surplus will carry on into the next year, says the agency, but the city will face deficits in 2009 and 2010.\nLast year (fiscal 2007 started last June), Bloomberg decided to use much of the $3.3 billion surplus to pay off debt. He also squirreled away $2 billion of it in a trust fund for retiree health benefits, citing projections for future budget gaps and the possibility that uncontrollable costs would increase. This pleased fiscal experts who had criticized Bloomberg, and Giuliani before him for spreading surpluses around in the past by cutting taxes and increasing spending.\nBut feeling flush, Bloomberg decided to spend much of this year's surplus on a $1 billion tax cut. The plan he laid out in the State of the City essentially sets off the annual budget season. He is scheduled to present his full budget sometime during the week of January 22.\nThe plan consists of four parts:\nâ€˘ A five percent across the board reduction in the property tax, which will cost about $750 million;\nâ€˘ An extension of the $400 property tax rebate for homeowners;\nâ€˘ The complete elimination of sales tax on clothing and footwear;\nâ€˘ New tax credits for small businesses.\nAll of these measures require the approval of lawmakers in Albany, except for the property tax cut, which only the City Council must approve.\nTax cuts are almost always popular politically, and these were no exception. What criticism there has been has been mild. The New York Times questioned whether the mayor was putting political considerations ahead of careful fiscal management, but then said that the \"new tax cuts are not wildly imprudent.\" The City Council has been supportive, with Council Speaker Christine Quinn saying that officials will \"make good on [the] promise\" to cut property taxes in good times. Tax cuts had been on the agenda of many city council members even before Bloomberg's speech.\nBy making tax cuts the focus of his State of the City address, Bloomberg has essentially defined what the centerpiece of the budget for fiscal 2008 will be, say experts. Additional uses for the surplus â€“ paying down future debt, infrastructure investments that may lead to lower operating costs in the future, or large spending initiatives â€“ are probably unaffordable unless the council rejects the mayor's plan.\n\"It certainly puts a damper on any significant ongoing spending increases,\" said Doug Turetsky of the Independent Budget Office.\nThe centerpiece of Bloomberg's plan is his property tax break, which city officials say is the first cut in property tax rates in over twenty years.\nBloomberg has long been working to recover from the fallout from the 18.5 percent property tax increase he pushed through in 2002, arguably the least popular action of his tenure to date. For the 4th consecutive year he is looking to give homeowners $400 rebate checks; this year the mayor also wants to give all property owners a single-year five percent reduction in property taxes.\n\"We can't know that we'll be as fortunate in the future with our revenues and expenses so right now it would not be fiscally sensible to commit\" to permanent changes, said Bloomberg.\nMost New Yorkers won't see a change in their housing costs, say budget experts.\nThis is partially because the cuts will just about offset the higher property taxes that will come with a recent reassessment of property values in the city, which showed a sharp rise. (This also makes Bloomberg's cuts more affordable for city government, of course).\nThe design of the tax cut also contributes, however.\nMost New Yorkers do not own real property, so they experience property tax rates only through increased rents of various ways in which commercial property owners pass on the cost of their own high taxes. Renters helped pay for the recent increase in property taxes, say economists, but they won't receive any benefit from a temporary cuts in their landlords' taxes, because property owners are unlikely to lower prices when they know their own costs are set to go right back up.\n\"I would argue that a one year tax cut doesn't do what a tax cut is supposed to do, which is change behavior,\" said Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute. \"Even if [Mayor Bloomberg] had to do a smaller tax cut to make it permanent, that would be better.\"\nParrott suggested a tax incentive directed at renters as a better temporary measure.\nAlmost all experts agree that the best action would be to address the inequities in the property tax code. Estimates vary, but commercial property owners and landlords pay rates that are four to eight times as high as private property owners (with the help of their tenants). Thus, while commercial landowners in New York pay the country's highest property tax rates, individual homeowners pay less in property taxes than they would if they moved to the surrounding suburbs.\nBut, as Gotham Gazette explained in a recent article, property tax reform is a political dead end, since any correction would likely mean much higher property rates for homeowners who, as the mayor might recall, are quite hostile to officials who raise their taxes.\nGlenn Pasanen, who teaches political science at Lehman College, has been in charge of Gotham Gazette's finance topic page since 2001.Â"}

{"text": "Are You Eligible for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?\nFind out if you are eligible to have your debts discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.\nChapter 7 bankruptcy provides very thorough relief from debt by wiping out most unsecured debt and allowing the debtor to have a fresh start. To prevent consumers from abusing the system, however, Congress has provided eligibility requirements for filing a Chapter 7 case. Here are the main requirements to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy relief.\n(For more articles about Chapter 7 bankruptcy, including how it works and how to file, see our Chapter 7 Bankruptcy area.)\nPrior Bankruptcies\nIf you filed a Chapter 7 petition and received a discharge in the past, you must wait eight years from the filing date of the previous bankruptcy before filing another one.\nIf you filed a previous Chapter 7 case but did not complete the case and did not receive a discharge, you may file a new Chapter 7 at any time, provided the court in the previous case did not bar you from filing again and you otherwise qualifies for Chapter 7.\nIf you previously filed and received a discharge in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, you must wait six years from the date that Chapter 13 was filed before filing for Chapter 7. If you did not complete or receive a discharge in the previous Chapter 13 case, you can file a Chapter 7 case at any time assuming you otherwise qualified for Chapter 7.\nSee Also: How Often Can You File for Bankruptcy?\nPrebankruptcy Credit Counseling\nBefore you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you must complete a prebankruptcy credit counseling course conducted by an approved agency. You must complete this course within six months prior to the date you file for bankruptcy. Once the counseling is complete, you will receive a certificate that you must file with the court.\nSee Also: Credit Counseling Requirement for Bankruptcy.\nThe Means Test\nThe means test is a calculation of your gross household income for the six-month period prior to the date you file bankruptcy. The means test calculation takes the average of your gross household income over that six month period and compares it to the median gross monthly income for families of that same size in that area, set forth by the Internal Revenue Service.\nIf your average gross monthly income is below the IRS median income, you pass the means test and can file Chapter 7 if you meet the other requirements.\nIf your average gross monthly income is above the median, you must complete more sections of the means test and can make certain deductions to try to get below median. If you are then below median after making allowed deductions, you have passed the means test and can file Chapter 7 if you otherwise qualify.\nTo learn more, see The Means Test in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.\nTalk to a Lawyer\nNeed a lawyer?

The cold, overcast conditions did not deter a group of 40 runners from their fight against child hunger; they were motivated by the children that suffer and die each day from a preventable and unnecessary affliction.\nOn Sunday, November 5, 2006, the first annual World Run Day: Syracuse was held at Barry Park. The 5K run kicked off at 10AM and was sponsored by a committee of students of the Maxwell School at Syracuse University.\nJessica Swan, the event’s organizer, expressed her delight at the events success: “It was so uplifting to know that we were united with individuals across the world to make a difference in the fight against child hunger.”\nThe event raised $962.85 in cash for the World Food Programme in addition to the donations from online registrations.\n“In just three weeks of planning, it is phenomenal to consider the impact the Syracuse run will make. We have given the gift of food…the gift of life…to 5068 children,” Swan noted.\nCommittee Members: LaJune Barnes, Lisa Chice, Farah Dib, Heather Klein, Caroline Kouassiaman, Mark Migliacci, Chris Mulkins, Kelley Osterthaler, and Jessica Swan.

{"text": "The revised version of “100 Things Dodgers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die” is on sale now. I’m pleased to say that there will be a booksigning event May 4 at Barnes & Noble on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, beginning at 2 p.m\nThe new edition of “100 Things Dodgers” features several new chapters (including Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw) and other tidbits, as well as new information for some existing chapters. If you want to be a completist — or moreover, if you never bought the original — this is the time to buy.\nAt 6 p.m. May 4, the Dodgers play the Giants on the road. If all goes well, maybe we can hang out or reuinte afterward and watch the game somewhere. In any case, come on by to the booksigning to get your signed copy … or just say hi.\nConfirmation of the booksigning came, conveniently enough, on Jackie Robinson Day. So with that in mind, here’s the first chapter from 100 Things Dodgers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die to give you a taste of what’s inside the book and as a tribute to the Dodger hero.\n* * *\n1.gers fan, his fable belongs to you. There’s really no greater story in sports to share. For many, particularly in 1947 when he made his major league debut, Robinson was a reason to become a Dodger fan. For those who were born or made Dodgers ’47gers TAv). He was an indispensable contributor to the Dodgers’ most glorious days in Brooklyn — six pennants and the franchise’s first World Series victory.\nIt also helps to know that some of Robinson’s moments on field were better than others, that he didn’t play with an impenetrable aura of invincibility. He rode the bench for no less an event than Game 7 of the 1955 World Series. He was human off the field, and he was human on it.\nIn the end, Robinson’s story might just be the greatest."}
{"text": "Caitlin Haugen, Executive Director of Global Teacher Education, takes a look at research showing that international experiences help prospective teachers find jobs and succeed in the classroom.\nBy Caitlin Haugen\nInternational experiences are extremely beneficial to future educators. Fred Carter, Director of Teacher Services at Western Kentucky University (WKU), illustrates why.\nIn the spring of 2009, two groups of students graduated from WKU's teacher certification program—those who had participated in an international student teaching program and those who had not. Twenty percent of graduates in the latter group were employed as teachers that fall. And the graduates with experience abroad? Fully 100% of them were employed in teaching positions.\nCarter reported this eye-opening finding at NAFSA's Colloquium on Internationalizing Teacher Education—one of several specialized colloquia that focuses on internationalizing curricula in key disciplines. This year's colloquium for teacher educators convened last week, and explored international experiential learning opportunities for pre-service teachers, such as student teaching abroad or short-term study trips.\nRigid course requirements coupled with state certification requirements often make these experiences difficult to incorporate into traditional teacher preparation programs. Throw in financial considerations and risk management issues, and colleges of education face serious challenges to providing sustainable international programs for their students. To address this challenge, NAFSA brought together over 80 deans, faculty, and professionals in the teacher preparation space to discuss how to make these experiences a reality. Attendees discussed how to create programs on their campuses and how to partner with third-party providers such as Educators Abroad or the Consortium for Overseas Teaching (COST) to facilitate experiences abroad.\nWhy should future teachers go abroad? In addition to improving their employment prospects, international experiences help educators develop key skills. Laura Stachowski presented research on former participants of the Cultural Immersions Projects, which she directs at Indiana University. During their student teaching placements in nearly 20 countries, former participants reported that they developed leadership, public speaking, cross-cultural communication, and problem-solving skills. They also felt they were more confident in their role as teachers as a result of their international experience. Other research supports these findings, but colloquium participants called for more studies on the effects of these experiences. Next year's colloquium will focus on assessment.\nCurrent research supports that pre-service teachers begin to develop global competency skills when they are exposed to other cultures and provided meaningful personal and professional experiences abroad. These skills are crucial to educators in our classrooms. In 2008, 20% of students in American K-12 schools spoke a language other than English at home, and minorities are projected to make up 55% of the population by 2050. In the U.S., 22% of jobs were tied to international trade in 2009. Our students, however, rarely study foreign languages and know little about world affairs.\nGlobally competent teachers have the potential to develop their students' worldviews, and teach them skills that will make them more competitive in today's workforce. They are more sensitive to the needs of diverse learners, able to teach them how to navigate an increasingly globalized society. Carter, a former principal, noted that teachers who can address diversity in their classrooms are in high demand. As an administrator, he actively sought candidates with previous international experience.\nExperiences abroad, however, are only one way pre-service teachers can develop their global competency skills. Colleges of education all over the United States are working to internationalize their teacher preparation programs using a variety of different strategies, often in support of campuswide internationalization goals. The colloquium provides a strong support network for professionals in teacher preparation interested in internationalizing their programs, and NAFSA provides a wealth of relevant information on its website—including detailed reports and resources from past colloquia. Global Teacher Education, the website I manage, also supports efforts to promote internationalization in colleges of education by providing resources and connecting interested and committed educators.\nAll of these efforts are important as we work to provide beneficial international experiences to our future educators that can facilitate their global competency development so they may better meet the needs of the next generation of learners in this country.\nFollow Asia Society on Twitter.\nWe encourage lively debate, but please be respectful of others.

{"text": "Spartans’ Title Odds On the Rise As We Approach Start of College Hoops\nPreseason rankings just came out so I guess it’s time to take a look at the latest college hoops title odds (though I had already planned this a couple days ago.)\n#1 Duke had a massive odds improvement in August after they landed Marvin Bagley, perhaps the best incoming freshman in the nation. That is when we last updated our odds…what has happened in the interim?\nObviously the big move that you’ll first notice is Michigan State going from 10/1 to 4/1.\nThe Spartans will have last year’s freshman standout Miles Bridges returning, who is expected to be one of, if not the best player in the country. Along with Bridges, sophomore center Nick Ward, another top player in the country, will be returning. They’ve also added a top-10 recruit in PF Jaren Jackson.\nThe big question is whether or not they can keep up with the big boys at Duke. They’ll have the always-controversial Grayson Allen returning to ensure they’re hated by casual fans across the country. Along with some of the most active feet in the nation, Allen brings a ton of experience and skill to a roster loaded with youngsters.\nAlong with Bagley, Duke also managed to bring in three more top-10 recruits, including the best point guard in Trevon Duval. At their 3/1 price, it doesn’t appear that they have received much attention from Vegas bettors, though, as you’d almost certainly be better off waiting until later in the season.\nKentucky and Arizona have also seen minor increases in odds. Like Duke, Kentucky has brought in a slew of top prospects who have big potential. They don’t have a top 10 recruit according to ESPN, but they do have five of the top 25.\nArizona doesn’t have a glut of incoming studs, but they do have DeAndre Ayton. A traditional center, Ayton is expected to be the fourth best player in the country according to The Big Lead.\nPerhaps the biggest loser of the bunch is Louisville, who has slipped from 15/1 to 40/1 (~4% drop in implied probability) following the Rick Pitino scandal and subsequent firing. They don’t have any elite players on their roster and will have to make do with rookie Head Coach David Padgett.\nWe’ll kick the season off with a bang in a couple weeks when Duke and Michigan State face off on Tuesday the 14th. This early season clash should serve as a title odds barometer and if one team seems overmatched, we’re likely to see some big movement the next day."}

{"text": "Israelis have been complaining about the density of their country for years. Yet, not many realise how bad the situation really is.\nFirst in Terms of Density\nDr Eliyahu Ben-Moshe, an Israeli demographer and a former deputy director-general of the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, says his country is one of the most densely populated nations on Earth.\n“In the developed world, there are only two other states that are denser than Israel – South Korea and the Netherlands. But density is something we can handle, by placing people in areas that are less crowded [such as the Negev in the south or the Golan Heights in the north – ed.]. What we cannot handle are the high fertility rates”.\nIsrael’s population has grown dramatically over the past decade.\nIn 2005, it was 6.9 million people. Ten years down the line that number was 8.4 million, and today the Jewish state is home to more than 9 million people.\nHigh Price to Pay\nAccording to projections, by 2050 Israel’s population will nearly double to around 16 million people. About a quarter of that amount will be Ultra-Orthodox individuals.\n“On average, a secular Jewish woman produces 3 children during her lifespan, much higher than any other OECD country.\nIn the Bedouin and the Ultra-Orthodox communities, the fertility rates are even higher, and Israel is already paying the price”.\nIsraeli schools are overcrowded with children, with up to 34 pupils per class. Roads are packed with cars, whereas the country’s real estate prices have reached unprecedented heights, especially in large cities such as Tel Aviv, hailed as the most expensive in the world.\n“We could have invested the money we have in infrastructure and the construction of roads. We could have used this cash to develop the country even further. Instead, we are using it to cater to the needs of the growing population, whether this is in education or medical services”, said Ben-Moshe.\n“No other country in the world has managed to maintain that balance of being developed and sticking to that fertility rate. Neither will Israel. Something will have to give”, he added.\nPoliticians Dragging Their Feet\nThe expert says Israeli governments, past and present, have been aware of the situation but nothing has been done to change the trend. And the reason for this is politics.\nIn a country that cherishes children, high fertility rates are highly encouraged and Israeli women are often pressured by society to produce more offspring. No politician in Israel will risk going against that “sacred cow” without endangering their seat.\n“It is truly a Greek tragedy. We are doing nothing to dampen that trend. It is not that the country will fall apart but the quality of life here will definitely suffer, and we will feel it in every walk of life”.\nAlthough Ben-Moshe is not optimistic about the future, he does say that the situation is still reversible and in a bid to improve it Israel needs to raise awareness of the phenomenon.\nIt also needs to lower its fertility rates and make sure that the weaker segments of the population, the ones that produce many children, obtain the relevant assistance.\n“We need to talk about this issue and explain the situation. If people only knew how much profit there would have been if we lowered our child production from three to two, maybe things would have been different. Because things won’t change on the level of decision-makers unless there is pressure from the bottom”.\nSource: SPUTNIK NEWS"}

{"text": "Three blog posts in one week?! It’s like Christmas!\nI mean, it’s Cinco De Mayo, so close enough? Who doesn’t love a holiday that gives you an excuse to eat Mexican food? I mean, I personally don’t feel the need for an excuse, but some people… I’m thinking leftover tacos and maybe some tasty nachos for dinner tonight. Cinco De Mayooooo!\nAnyway. There’s a point to this post, and it is this: in my ripe old age (of almost 26), I seem to have gotten a pretty good handle on coping with stress. I’m definitely better than I was, considering the amount of stress I’ve been under this week has been steadily increasing but I have yet to meltdown, have a panic attack, or even cry. It might seem ridiculous how proud I am of that fact, but given that I used to cry at work every day due to stress, it’s a monumental improvement. It really is. (To be fair, I did have a panic attack during my PRT, but that was due to not being able to breathe.)\nThis week has been pretty insane. Between my collateral duties at work dumping unexpected workloads on me, struggling to deal with walk-in patients with an already-full schedule, still coming to terms with my PRT failure, and numerous other stressors, I cannot believe I haven’t already fallen apart.\nAnd yet, somehow, I’ve managed to keep calm and carry on, and do it well, if I may say so myself. The whole PRT failure thing aside, let’s talk about the rest of this week. It really wasn’t all that bad, but it would have been so much better if everything hadn’t all cropped up at basically the end of the week. If I had found out on Monday or Tuesday how much extra stuff I was going to have to do this week, it would have been completely copacetic. But, being that this is the Navy and we excel at last minute “by the ways,” it all happened on Thursday.\nBeing the TPO (training petty officer) for Optometry is normally a pretty chill gig, as my coworkers are normally pretty on top of it when it comes to getting their trainings knocked out. However, when the fiscal year reset and all of our annual trainings became due, they didn’t automatically get assigned by SEAT (Staff Education and Training) like they have for the past few years and no email went out, like it always has. This time, it fell to the TPOs to disseminate the trainings… but no one told us. So Thursday afternoon I got a polite email from the directorate TPO and my good friend with a list of delinquent trainings and a request to get them done ASAP. I also received a nastygram informing me that if my entire department didn’t have their trainings done by Friday, we would have to come in as a department on Saturday, regardless of who wasn’t finished with their training. Again, this normally wouldn’t have been that big of an issue, but our Training Thursdays (afternoons with no clinic schedule specifically for training) recently got taken away AND we have a brand-new boot sailor on-board who hasn’t gotten ANY of his trainings done because he’s been in face-to-face classes literally since he got here. I spent literally all day Thursday trying to get everyone’s trainings assigned, complete my own trainings, help run a clinic, and keep the stress from affecting the way I treat my junior sailors. It was definitely a tense day. Add to that the four walk-ins we had to squeeze into a full schedule yesterday and you start to get a picture of what my week has been like.\nI’m also attempting to get myself and my clinic thoroughly prepared for our upcoming hospital-wide inspection in a week and a half, when The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Medical Inspector General (Med IG) come through. TJC handles hospital accreditation, so if we fail their inspection, our hospital gets shut down. It’s only the most stressful time of year, and combining that with the Med IG is making things really interesting. Unfortunately, we only recently got the hard dates for their arrival, and my only experience junior corpsman will be on leave, leaving me and a boot to try to make it through the inspections unscathed. That should be interesting.\nAnd then there’s this morning – the final straws that might actual break this poor, tired, stressed out camel’s back. I have chosen orders not one, not two, but THREE times, and I still haven’t gotten selected for orders. On every single one, there’s been a flag that reads “PFA STATUS 1” which is the code for PRT failure. Unfortunately, I can’t help but worry that this might keep me from getting orders at all, much less getting sent anywhere I’d want to go.\nAdd to that having a huge discrepancy crop up with another of my collateral duties – I swear to God, if my old ALPO had just done a proper turnover, this would not be happening – which has added one more thing to my plate. I refuse to let this make me freak out, though. Thankfully, I remember all of my martial arts training, including the centering breath that helps me shed stress and focus, and also ADHD meds. I may have to work late today, but so help me God, this is going to get done. Just because the person who used to have my collaterals was a total dirtbag doesn’t mean the tradition needs to carry on.\nIt’s been a long week, but it’s almost over. I can do this!\nUntil next time, stay frosty, nerds!"}

This certainly holds true in the case of Dayakar Padayachee, a rather young writer, director and independent producer, who has more than proved himself a force worth reckoning with.\nTwenty-six-year-old Padayachee from Isipingo (now living in Musgrave) is known for his award-winning film productions, being the master-mind behind Glances which won the Best Audience Choice Award in 2014 for the 48 Hour Film Project. He worked again on a horror film called Artwork for the 48 hour film project 2015 and plans to continue in the horror genre with his new project, Hadez. He also worked on a proof of concept short for a new series called ‘The Cobra’ which aims to be the first South African Superhero show.\nDayakar, studied under acclaimed cartoonist Nanda Sooben for three years at the Centre for Fine Art Animation and Design and fourth year in Film. He is flamboyant, keeps to his circle of friends and is open to trying new and different things and meeting many different people.\nHe also does film review video blogs for an online company called FYI ONLINE owned by a Christopher Augustine. He has done media coverage for the Durban International film festival.\nHis company name behind his productions is called HGProductions. He is now working on two films consecutively, as a creative director with a new upcoming independent film maker, Ashan Singh, who plans to release later this year a local feature film, ‘Dear Jasmine’ and another indie short film, ‘Shadow,’ which he has been completed and aims to send to film festivals.\n“I have lived in Durban for 26 years and think that Durban needs exposure it deserves, about time Durban gets a chance to shine,” said Dayakar.\n‘Shadow’ is a new short drama that involves a cast of fresh talents, Tazme Pillay (Tyrone Sharma), Geaneviv Pillay (Liana Maharaj), and professional well-known actors, like Kajal Bagwandeen (Karen Sharma), Yateen Dayaram (Sanil Sharma), Lihle Dhlomo and Rizelle Januk who offer supporting roles. Others in the cast are Ismail Ganie (Rijay Maharaj), Joshua Milne (Travis), Jerome Naidu (The Neighbour) and Sanele Sibiya.\n‘Shadow’ is also the first film of the miniseries anthology he is working on.\nThe film also includes the talents of Sanam Sitaram a new upcoming vocalist who wrote a song called Black Lake which will have a music video on Youtube soon, as well as her own track she produced ‘Paper Doll.’"}

I organise my freetime as much as possible so that I can enjoy enough time with them.\nOn the right you can see a picture of my sister Joëlle and me.\nI’d like to share an experience with you I had one year ago which strengthen my testimony:\nI was hiking in Ticino, Switzerland. While I was there, I slipped off the edge and fell down – about 20 meters. When I landed on the ground I couldn’t move my legs anymore. At first I tried to call someone for help but I didn’t have any connections on my cellphone. I knew that if it will never work, I would die. I prayed a long time to our Heavenly Father and then after 5 or 6 hours I got a signal! I was able to organise help, who came to look for me, but they couldn’t find me. I was lying there already for two days, unable to move, my faith in God as a savior was extremly tested. After another day waiting I started doubting that they would find me. Fear began to fill my heart. Suddenly a good thought came into my mind. I asked myself, why shouldn’t God help me now when he has been holding my hand all the time by letting me survive a 20 meter fall, get signal on my cellphone and organise help. Would he really leave me alone, now? It doesn’t make any sence! That was the first time in my life where I knew I have to have complete trust in him. After realizing this, a warm feeling filled my body. I knew, God will help me again. After one more night the searching-group found me and I safely got to the hospital."}
{"text": "This article on the use of recycled oyster shell appeared in the Fredericksburg Virginia Free-lance Star. it does a nice job talking aobut the use of oyster shell in oyster restoration programs.\nThe shell recylcing program at Mass Oyster is gaining momentum as we recently collected shell generated from the Battery Wharf Oyster Festival at the Fairmont Battery Wharf and the mandarin oriental in addition to our stalwart participants at the Langham Boston.\nThis Summer we worked with three scout troops (one girl, one boy, and one cub) to place shell in three locations in Winthrop. Sadly despite the presence of oysters nearby we did not see much of a set upon them. The size of the oyster set can vary considerably. This year Wellfleet had a terrific set- last year a bit less so. The direction of the prevailing winds and temperatures during key times can make a difference. We will continue to monitor the shell as it is there waiting for a spat to call it home.\nOyster shells a hot commodity in Virginia\nREEDVILLE—For Richard Harding Jr., the cascading clatter of oyster shells and the “beep, beep, beep” of a tractor moving between a 20-foot pile of shells is the sound of success.\nUp until three years ago, Harding, who manages Purcell’s Seafood, a relatively small oyster house on the Little Wicomico River in Reedville, was selling his shells to the state for reef restoration projects.\nNow, he uses it all in-house. The pile is his personal Fort Knox, an insurance policy to cover a year when harvests might dip.\n“Years ago, oysters weren’t growing and living that well,” he said. “Now I’m more optimistic about the oyster industry than I ever have been.”\nThat optimism goes all the way to Richmond. In July, Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared Virginia “the oyster capital of the East Coast.” He said the industry is now worth about $58 million to the state economy.\nBut the phenomenal growth of oyster farming over the last decade has an upshot: As the supply of shells declines, the price keeps going up.\nThe shells, once so abundant they were used for roads and foundations, are now a limited resource.\n“Shells are the currency for oyster success,” said Jim Wesson, who heads the state’s oyster conservation and replenishment efforts. “In nature, we’re never making back enough oysters with big shells because we have oyster diseases in the bay.”\nIt used to cost 75 cents for a bushel of shells. Now a bushel can sell for as much as $6.\n“It’s really gone up in the past several years as the kind of market shortage of shell has occurred,” said Susan Conner, who heads the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ oyster restoration program.\nIn fact, oyster shells have become so valuable that Virginia uses them as matching “funds” to qualify for federal funding for oyster reef restoration projects with the Corps of Engineers’ Norfolk District.\nStates and the federal government are supposed to split costs 75–25. So if a project costs $2 million, Virginia has to come up with $500,000. But the state, burdened by a heavy budget deficit, doesn’t have the funds for its share.\nSo the corps agreed to accept dredged fossilized oyster shells from the James River in lieu of cash.\n“They have been able to provide that kind of funding through their shell value,” said Conner. “We use a market value of a bushel of shell to evaluate how much to give them for the shell they dredge up.”\nConner said the Corps is studying additional fossil deposits in Virginia that might be used in the future.\nHELPING BABIES GROW\nNo story about Chesapeake Bay oysters can be told without explaining that during the last century the population has dwindled—victims of disease, loss of habitat, pollution and over-harvesting.\nOver the last five years, science and aquaculture have worked together to bring the industry back, some by way of a lab-grown, disease-resistant, sterile oyster called the triploid. The state provided the incentive by leasing public oyster grounds for a small fee.\nEvery year, more watermen are ditching their crab pots and taking up oystering either on public grounds or as oyster farmers.\nToday, there are 764 licensed aquaculture harvesters leasing nearly 114,000 acres (more than twice the size of Washington, D.C.) at $1.50 an acre per year. That price has remained the same since 1960, according to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. Before that, it was $1 per year.\nTo understand why shells have become such an important commodity, you have to understand the needs of a baby oyster.\nOnce waters have warmed, oysters begin releasing sperm and egg. Fertilized eggs drift in the water eating phytoplankton and developing a foot-like appendage.\nNext they move to the bottom of a river, where they search for a hard surface, preferably oyster shell, to “strike” by attaching their feet to it with a kind of oyster glue. From this point, they grow their shell and become what’s called spat.\nOysters grow about 1 inch in a year and are considered market size at about 3 inches.\nFarmers grow either native Virginia oysters or the triploid using two methods. This is where the shells come in.\nSpat-on-shell is a method where larvae are introduced to tanks filled with empty oyster shells onto which they attach and grow. The shells will be planted in a river bottom or grown in cages, racks or floats, and eventually harvested for shucking.\nThe second method is more specialized for the half-shell market. It uses crushed oyster shell to obtain the single-oysters prized by restaurants.\nPurcell’s grows native Virginia oysters using both methods. On an average day, Harding harvests 30 to 40 bushels of oysters he’s planted on grounds he leases from the state.\nPurcell’s shucks its own oysters in addition to those it buys from local watermen. Some of the shells will go into the river, put down as a hard surface onto which spat-on-shell oysters are “planted.”\nOthers are planted with a cooperative of aquaculturists in the nearby Great Wicomico River, so wild oyster larvae can strike.\nHarding will transplant the wild baby oysters to his leased oyster grounds and eventually harvest them for market.\nSHELLING OUT BIG BUCKS\nWhen Harding was selling his shells to the state, they went for about $1.25 for a bushel. Now, he says he could sell them for about $3.\nHe has about 10,000 bushels piled up.\n“They’re worth more to me than selling them to someone else,” he said.\nNeighboring oyster houses said they are being offered up to $6 per bushel by North Carolina and Maryland.\nThere is another factor driving the need for shells. In 2009, President Obama signed an executive order directing the federal government to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Part of that initiative is to restore oyster reefs in 10 tributaries by 2025.\nOyster shell is key to reef restoration because oyster larvae prefer it more than any other surface. It’s what the corps, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and environmentalists like the Chesapeake Bay Foundation try to use.\n“Unfortunately, there aren’t enough shells for restoration in Maryland and Virginia,” said Jackie Shannon, CBF’s oyster restoration manager for Virginia.\nCBF has established a shell recycling program with restaurants, localities and other large oyster consumers in Virginia and Maryland. The foundation also uses clam and mussel shells for their projects.\nStill, that’s not enough.\nSo the states, the corps and groups such as the CBF have begun to innovate with oyster shell surrogates.\nCBF has had great success with a concrete reef ball, an igloo-like structure that stands 2 feet tall and 2 feet at the base and is seeded with oyster larvae in a large tank. Once the larvae become spat, the balls are planted around an existing reef.\nDepending on the reef size, CBF will plant anywhere from 100 to 300 balls. Since 2010, CBF has planted more than 900 reef balls in the Piankatank and Lafayette rivers.\nAcross the bay, Maryland has deployed more than 2,500 reef balls since they began planting them in 2008; some incorporate concrete from Baltimore’s demolished Memorial Stadium.\nThe state also is spending nearly $9 million to haul more than 112,000 tons of fossilized oyster shell from Florida for a large restoration project that will also incorporate granite.\n“Luckily the state can use our fossil shells and we don’t have to get into the bidding wars with other people trying to get shells,” said Wesson.\nHe said the state also buys from recyclers who save concrete from demolition jobs.\nThis year Virginia received $500,000 from The Nature Conservancy for a project in the Piankatank. The money will be used for another partnership with the Corps and NOAA to experiment with using clean ground concrete for a reef in the river.\nWesson said the method has proved successful in rebuilding reefs in the Gulf of Mexico after Katrina and the BP oil spill decimated oysters there. The Gulf, still the No. 1 oyster producer in the U.S., is also experiencing a shell shortage."}

Yeah, part of it is that I don't have time because Hellfire and Damnation need raising. Part of it is that I lost my Ruth!voice and I can't find the balance between being silly while still projecting an air of professionalism. Part of it is that I can look back and point out the times when I could have (and maybe should have) wrapped things up (e.g., after graduation, after taking the bar, after passing the bar, after getting a job).<br /><br />But I didn't wrap things up. I always thought there was more to Ruth's story. And, honestly, I wasn't ready to let go. The AC really brought me a lot of joy, and--quite frankly--I like the attention.<br /><br />Now, though... it's just time. If I'm being honest with myself, I lost Ruth the moment I reported for work. Ruth is silly, prone to folly, overly fond of alcohol, and disdainful of those to who do well. Now that I'm working, I have to be serious (sometimes) (like when I'm explaining to a client that if he didn't like jail he probably shouldn't have violated his probation by repeatedly getting high and breaking curfew), I try to avoid folly since I'm supposedly a professional, I only drink alcohol in moderation, and... I'm doing okay. Some might even say I'm doing well. I've become the anti-Ruth, with nothing to complain about except the occasional asshat family members of my clients and the fact that my kids sometimes act like spoiled brats. Ruth reveled in mediocrity, but I kind of don't want to be mediocre anymore. Ruth was sarcastic and a little cynical. And lately... I've been... earnest. Honestly, y'all, that last part is the worst. Ruth laughs at people who are earnest, and do you know how disturbing it is when your semi-fictional alter ego is laughing at you? I mean, it's hard to wrap your mind around that concept without grabbing for the DSM-IV.<br /><br />So this is it. For the 30 or so of you who still stop in a few times a week, thanks for sticking with me until the end. I'll miss you guys.

I find myself being <i>responsible</i> (BAH!) and doing things like asking myself whether a certain post would violate confidentiality rules and/or whether it's appropriate to post that a particular client annoys the hell out of me. I hesitate to post about other attorneys because what if they find this blog, figure out it's them I'm talking about, and then act all weird around me from then on. And I can't post about the super handsome judge because, um, so much more inappropriate than blogging about a super handsome law professor.<br /><br />It's as if the bright line rule of inappropriateness that I could see so clearly while in law school has wasted away to the point where it's not really a line at all so much as a blur, and something that I wouldn't have thought twice about posting during school would now never make it on the intrawebs.<br /><br />All of this, of course, makes it hard to really get the feel for Blogging While Employed. I've actually written ten or so entries that I kept locked because I wasn't sure where on the blurry \"line\" they fell. (Okay, yeah, that's totally just an excuse for my poor blogging habits these days, but it's somewhat valid, right?)<br /><br />So, I'm going to try to come up with a list of bloggable topics (feel free to contribute) and see if I can't salvage the AC. Right now I'm leaning towards an in-depth post looking at bailiffs and whether or not they're date-able. ;) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:230197 More Proof That I'm a Fantastic Mother 2009-01-05T00:20:33Z 2009-01-05T00:20:33Z I had Hellfire's and Damnation's school stuff all packed and ready to go for tomorrow only to discover that they don't actually go back to school until Wednesday.<br /><br />Hmph.<br /><br />That sort of conflicts with my plans to return to work tomorrow. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:230064 Ruth's Christmas List 2008-12-19T01:47:14Z 2008-12-19T01:47:14Z 1.

This joyous day is supposed to be marked by a meeting with one of the higher-ups and the removal of my probationary status. It is not supposed to be marked as being the busiest day of my (still very short) legal career. I've had days when I've had more things scheduled than I did yesterday, but yesterday everything was URGENT.<br /><br />I walked into my office that morning and already had a client waiting for me. I didn't have time to do more than toss my purse on the chair, grab her file, before I HAD to get up to court with her to take care of something urgent. No sooner did I get back to my office after putting out that fire that I was called back up to court on a new appointment. I got back from the new appointment to have voicemails from not one, but two panicking clients. One of them was facing an (you guessed it) urgent problem and so I began my running around to fix it. In the middle of that, I was called to another court for another new appointment. After dealing with that I had to draft a motion and get it filed before the clerk's office closed. By the time all of that was done, it was time to go home.<br /><br />I came in this morning to find out that I have a client in the hospital, that my urgent motion wasn't necessary after all, and that apparently the world won't be ending today (although you wouldn't have guessed it to talk to my clients yesterday). Of course, I could only find all this out after a second day of non-stop running around. I usually pride myself on my organization at work, but right now my office is. in. shambles. My desk is currently a file folder orgy. I have a To-Close stack, a To-File stack, a To-Update stack, an I-Don't-Know-What-Exactly-Is-Going-On stack, and about six court dockets to wade through to make sure the court isn't expecting me to show up to a setting I haven't written down yet.<br /><br />And normally Friday would be the day to fix all of that, straighten up the desk and files, and get ready for the coming week. But because that probationary status is ending, I have to meet with the higher ups, and also take Damnation to the dentist to cap <a href=\"\">his darned tooth</a>, and make time to partake in yummy office Thanksgiving lunch (you know where my priorities are there).<br /><br />So when I was asked on Tuesday (the day before my probation ended) how I was liking my job and whether it was stressful, and I answered, \"Oh, it's great, and it hasn't really been stressful so far,\" I should have found some wood to knock on, for real. O_O<br /><br />(On the plus side, I've held down a real attorney job for six months, and not once have I woke up dreading having to go into work. I think that's a decent six months. On the down side, we don't get a pay raise at the six month mark, which would have really been awesomesauce.) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:228534 So you failed the bar exam... now what? 2008-11-04T06:00:49Z 2008-11-04T06:00:49Z it.<br /><br />What do you do if you fail?<br /><br />Now, I can't commiserate personally on the matter. But I didn't pass by much so my fears about failing were at least credible. I wasn't one of those assholes who goes around trolling for sympathy by whining that I'd fail and then pass with flying colors. No. My score was low enough that it's plausible that a few lucky guesses and a handful of keywords on the essay when I didn't know what I was talking about may have made the difference. So when I cringed at people who reminded me of the statistics or told me they were sure I'd pass because I was so smart, I wasn't feigning modesty. And due to my own weird mash of faith in a higher power, a belief in what's meant to be is meant to be, and fear of jinxing things, I absolutely refused to answer this question for myself until it needed answering. As the days ticked down, though, the question nagged at the back of my mind and were accompanied by visions of various and increasingly unlikely scenarios. In the end, it was a bridge I didn't have to cross, but I'm going to try to dig through those repressed memories and see if I can help you cross it, should the need arise.<br /><br />So... what do you do if you fail?<br /><br />1. Cry. No, really. Go ahead. It's okay. You probably need it. Let the disappointment and frustration and self doubt wash over you and just cry it out. Cry for a few days if you need to. In fact, for the first week, go ahead and cry every time you have to tell someone that you failed. And yeah, telling people that you failed will be humiliating and depressing. But it won't kill you.<br /><br />2. Figure out why you didn't pass. Be honest with yourself. Did you totally freak out and stare blankly at the MBE instead of, you know, filling in bubbles? Did you go get hammered the night before? Or every night leading up to the exam? Did you only attend a third of the Bar/Bri lectures? Did you just never get the feel for the stupid fill-in-the-blank procedure questions? Was it a combination of more than one? Whatever the reason(s), figure them out, and figure out whether they could be addressed if you decide to take it again.<br /><br />3. Understand that failing the bar does not mean you're not smart. One of my biggest pet peeves was when people insisted I'd pass because I was \"so smart.\" But <a href=\"\">smart people fail the bar exam too.</a> And if you click that link, you'll see that even famous smart people can fail the bar exam.<br /><br />4. Once you've done 1-3, pick yourself back up and make a decision: are you going to take it again in February or not? This will depend a lot on the answers you come up with in Step 2. For example, if your dog died the day before the exam and you couldn't read the exam questions through your tears, that may not be an issue come February when you've had some time to move on from your loss. On the other hand, if you hate the law, hate the study of it, hated Bar/Bri, and therefore had a hard time putting in more than two hours a week of preparation, that might still present a problem in another few months. If you think that whatever kept you from passing in July poses a serious threat of doing it again, then do some soul searching and figure out whether being a lawyer in Texas is really what's right for you. <br /><br />And if you do decide to take it again, there's no shame in that either. I took the bar exam at the same time as a bunch of other El Pasoans. We'd gone to various law schools, including UT, Yale, Wisconsin, Indiana, and others. More than one of us did not pass. One of those guys took it again in February, passed, and started working in the same courthouse as I did during the same week that I started. His life wasn't over. I see him a lot and he's doing just fine.<br /><br />So end of the world? No, but I'm pretty sure it'll feel that way at first. Which is why Step 1 is crying. But when your tears run out, figure out what you want to do from there and just do it. And if someone tries to make you feel bad about not passing, shove your bar review books up their ass. But not if you've decided to retake it, because then you'd have shitty bar review materials, and shitty bar review materials won't help matters at all. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:228266 Is a weekend too much to ask? 2008-11-02T02:21:40Z 2008-11-02T02:21:40Z I finally had a weekend where I didn't have anything to do but soccer and church, and Damnation wakes up with a possible abscessed tooth. So off to the urgent care clinic we went, because it was too much a pain in the ass to try to find a dentist who takes our insurance AND who is open on Saturdays. I figured that with all the swelling around the gums they wouldn't be able to do much at the dentist's office anyway, other than give him the same antibiotics that the urgent care clinic could give. It was pretty scary though seeing as his face was blown up like the time my dog ate a scorpion and her face ballooned to three times its usual size. Fun times. His face has gone down to 1.5 times its normal size now, so that's encouraging.<br /><br />Not to be outdone, Hellfire tripped and fell down and scraped her knee pretty good. I only make one trip to an urgent care clinic in a weekend, though, so she's totally out of luck. She'll have to make due with Hydrogen Peroxide and a band-aid like in the good ole' days. She's currently hobbling around for extra sympathy, but twice I've caught her walking normally when she thinks I'm not looking.

And my office won first place in the County's group costume contest. I was supposed to be a citizen of the Emerald City (Wizard of Oz), but I looked more like a leprechaun pimp thanks to my coat tails and sparkly green bowler hat.<br /><br />Alas, we did not recapture the coveted Traveling Trophy for the door decorating contest. We were last year's champions. From what I understand, this decision may have been political. Apparently my office has dominated the Halloween contests in years past, sometimes taking first place in all three categories. And since we were obviously going to win the group costume category...<br /><br />I'll see if I can find a picture or two to post. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:227608 Is this thing on? 2008-10-24T03:56:48Z 2008-10-24T03:56:48Z Oh, yeah. It turns out I do have a blog.<br /><br />I wish I had some exciting story to tell that also explained my absence, but... I don't. Here's some bullet points instead:<br /><br />* Being a single working mom is really starting to take its toll. I find that I'm tired most of the time, my kids are lucky to get a hot meal most nights, and housework and laundry only get done when absolutely necessary (i.e. when we're having guests). We do manage to put the trashcans out on trash day, but it usually takes a few days to bring them back in. I have rediscovered the genius of pasta, ramen noodles, and Hamburger Helper.<br /><br />* I had a hearing this week where I was asking the judge to reconsider my client's sentence. I thought I made really good arguments and that my motion was pretty solid. I still think it'll get denied. I'm trying to find a balance between worrying about it and realizing that I did my best and that's all I can do.<br /><br />* The Halloween decorations in my office make the law mentor office look like a third grade classroom in a school that can't afford art supplies. I think I'm still sworn to secrecy on this year's theme, but prior themes have included Willy Wonka and Pirates of the Caribbean. If I'm allowed, I'll post pictures after. Anyone who knows me will see how this is the most perfect job ever for me.<br /><br />* I voted yesterday and I must say that I'm really loving the stickers. I put mine on my bulletin board, but I'm really thinking about going back and asking for another one.<br /><br />* My weekend will be spent carving pumpkins and going to see HSM3. After soccer game is over, of course. I would rather be shopping and then coming home to read a book.<br /><br />* I had a scare today when I thought the judge wasn't going to accept a plea bargain. In one of my courts, this actually happens more often than not, but I've only done maybe 3 pleas in this particular court and my client was already more stressed out than my clients are normally. Her stress must have been rubbing off on me because after the judge pronounced sentence and accepted the deal, all I could think of was how I could use a drink and a nap. (I didn't get either.)<br /><br />* I was totes disappointed re: Project Runway finale. Hellfire and I were rooting for Korto, but I was also a big Kenley fan too.<br /><br />* There are three ADAs that I would totally date. I've had an on-and-off crush on one of them since 2001. It's like every three years or so the crush comes back. In true Ruth fashion I have no plans to act on any of the three crushes.<br /><br />* I wish someone would spend $150,000 to outfit me and my family. That would probably buy us like every single outfit combination we could come up with at Old Navy AND Target. And then I'd still have money left over to go have everything altered to reflect how short I am.<br /><br />* I managed to get stuck on a PTA committee. So far I've managed to make it through each meeting without screaming at certain moms to cut the umbilical cord already. But only just. I make it through by muttering under my breath instead.<br /><br />* Apparently my son, Petulance, is a natural at the viola. One of the rare not-annoying PTA moms was telling me how awesome he was at it. Which is surprising, because he never practices at home and right now doesn't even have a viola to practice because his needed repairs. So apparently Petulance is a musical genius. He certainly didn't get that from me.<br /><br />* I am very stressed out lately. I don't know if this is because of the election, work, the fact that Petulance isn't doing so hot in school, that I'm paying for my kids' health insurance for the first time ever, that I never get any time to myself, the economy, hormonal reasons, or all of the above. But I realized that I'm super stressed when I went to the gym and did two miles on the treadmill and hardly broke a sweat despite the fact that I'm in awful shape and can't remember when I last did purposeful exercise. Apparently I had some pent-up energy to burn. Hopefully that pent-up energy is called \"fat.\" urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:227453 My Stress, Let Me Show it to You 2008-10-10T23:00:46Z 2008-10-10T23:00:46Z There was a fire in the courthouse today. Two floors above mine. I was on another floor when they made it clear that the fire alarm was FO REALZ and NOT A DRILL and GET THE EFF OUT ALREADY so I didn't have time to grab my purse, car keys, etc. It was a very stressful two hours while I watched as 90% of the fire trucks in El Paso pulled up to the courthouse and actually started pumping water into the building. After an hour they told us that the County Judge had ordered the building closed for the remainder of the day. All I could do was pray that (1) I'd be able to get back in my office once they gave the all-clear to at least retrieve my stuff and (2) no water or fire damage to my office.<br /><br />On top of this, my hormones are a mess right now, and I was on the verge of hysterics the minute I realized that there was really a fire and this was not a silly bomb threat (because, really, who does those on a Friday?). I managed to make it through the whole thing without actually crying, although I came close two or three times. It was surprisingly stressful. I still have one of those post-adrenaline-rush headaches.<br /><br />After two hours of standing around wondering whether I would be carless and without access to money over the weekend, the fire marshal gave the all-clear and Sheriff's deputies began escorting us up one floor at a time to retrieve our belongings. I was even able to make it on time for my meeting with Damnation's teacher.<br /><br />On the bright side, I was supposed to take two hours of leave this afternoon for my meeting, but since the courthouse was evacuated shortly after noon, now it's a freebie!<br /><br />But right now, I could sure use a <s>glass</s> bottle of wine. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:227226 Baby Lawyer's First Year: Fan Mail 2008-10-07T00:35:58Z 2008-10-07T00:35:58Z I GOT MY FIRST CLIENT FAN MAIL!<br /><br />It read:<br /><br />Dear Ruth's Boss,<br /><br />The other day, Ruth waltzed in the courtroom and gave the DA the smackdown.

But he was just so excited that I actually got him a dismissal that he quickly saw what a great idea it would be for him to write a letter to my boss and tell him how awesome I am. And if it had been an obvious dismissal, I probably wouldn't have brought it up at all, but it was a hard sell and at one point I was pretty convinced that the only way to make it go away was an acquittal, and we all know that's not guaranteed. So we were both pleasantly surprised by the dismissal (and so was the guy next to him, who immediately asked for my card). Plus, my probationary period ends in just over a month, and since I'm not this big trial dawg yet, I need to take those boosts where I can. ;) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:226687 Yessss 2008-10-01T00:24:50Z 2008-10-01T00:24:50Z There are far worse ways to end a Monday night than to watch Maksim Chmerkovskiy dance the Paso Doble. Mmmmm.<br /><br />And it's a darn good thing my Monday ended on such a good note, because Tuesday sure as hell started as a train wreck. I really need to get better at detecting when people are bullshitting me. I really hate to just assume that everyone is bullshitting me, because that level of cynicism doesn't really jive with my core Pollyanna-like personality. On the other hand, I think that tending to believe people might not be the best thing either.<br /><br />But the nice part about work is that it doesn't tend to follow me home. So when I opened my mailbox to find DVDs from Amazon, I was able to forget about lying clients and squee about having Season 3 of Supernatural and Book 3 of Avatar all to myself!

After sending him to get my coffee (and then sending him back because he got my order wrong), I set him to work on my large pile of Stuff To Do When Time Permits, and eventually assigned him all the research I need to do but don't feel like doing. Then I took advantage of my significantly diminished To-Do list by enjoying a three-hour lunch and then leaving early to go visit a crime scene.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />sigh Of course, seeing as I'm still in my probationary status at work, only 5% of the above statements are actually true.

At first I was amused, but then one of the scientists was all, \"Oh, well if one gets made, it will be so small that it will just close up again. It won't have any gravitational pull or anything.\" But what he didn't say was that it's impossible, so now I'm going to have nightmares of being swallowed up by rogue black holes that just appear in random places, like my office for example. Where first I lose a few paperclips to the black hole, but then it's my phone, and then my computer, and then me.<br /><br />So I guess what I'm trying to say is that just in case we all get swallowed up in a black hole soon, I love you guys, and it's been fun. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:224212 My Favorite Cases 2008-09-10T01:10:26Z 2008-09-10T01:10:26Z Whenever I have a Deceptive Trade Practices case, how come the County Attorney is not interested in my \"assumption of the risk\" arguments? I think it's a pretty valid argument, quite frankly. When people try to get a deal by hiring their wife's cousin's boyfriend's uncle to install their new hot water heater and they give him a $2000 check up front without having first confirmed that he's licensed and bonded, what do they honestly expect when they never see the guy again? I'm not saying they deserve to be swindled because they don't, but they're practically begging to become victims.<br /><br />But maybe I'm just annoyed by the whole Deceptive Trade Practices statute. I've seen more than one case where the matter should have been taken up in small claims court but the complaining witness found it easier (and less expensive) to call the police.<br /><br />In the end, they're actually my favorite cases, if only because I enjoy County Attorney's expression when I say the victim assumed the risk and this is a civil matter. It's a fantastic place to begin negotiations. ;) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:223958 Yikes 2008-09-08T02:29:09Z 2008-09-08T02:29:09Z Hellfire and Damnation have both enrolled in orchestra this year.<br /><br />I quickly laid down the following House Rule (prominently displayed on a poster board in the kitchen): ALL VIOLA PRACTICE WILL BE DONE IN YOUR OWN ROOMS WITH THE DOOR CLOSED!<br /><br />This rule will remain active until they give up music lessons or are accepted to Julliard, whichever comes first. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:223647 Yes, but 2008-09-05T02:39:19Z 2008-09-05T02:39:19Z On the plus side, when the workday is spent almost entirely in the courtroom, the day seems to go by faster. And days spent entirely in office with no court settings are long and boring.<br /><br />On the minus side, I often leave work with my office in shambles, piles of files waiting to be sorted through, updated, closed, opened, deep fried, or input. And if I try to tidy up by putting them in their places, then I forget to make the necessary updates. And so I leave work just a little more frazzled.<br /><br />The ideal balance would be mornings spent in court, afternoons spent in office. Sometimes I get those days. Mostly I get random. But at least I don't suffer from having every day look exactly like the one before it. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:amicus__curiae:223480 Curse MySpace 2008-09-04T00:16:59Z 2008-09-04T00:16:59Z As far back as I can remember, I knew that I had an older half-brother out there in the world somewhere. I knew the gist of what had happened between my dad and his first wife, knew that in the end my dad had relinquished his parental rights so that my brother could be adopted by his step dad. I also knew that most likely my brother didn't know anything about us.<br /><br />So for as far back as I can remember, I've wanted to find him, to meet him. When I was really young, I imagined that one day I'd be walking around a crowded city plaza, and someone who looks just a little too much like me would catch my eye. As I got older, my imagination shifted. Instead, I would hire a private investigator, armed only with my brother's name and birth date. We would have a tearful reunion on Oprah, or at the very least, Jerry Springer.<br /><br />Then in May I found his MySpace page. I sent him a quick message explaining who I was and he wrote back. Then he called my dad and talked to him, and he chatted a bit with my sister online. This week his family is having dinner with my parents (who are currently in his neck of the <s>woods</s> country). It's still been relatively emotional, but without the TV cameras of my dreams. I'm happy to be in touch with him after all these years, but darn it! MySpace totally robbed us of our 15 minutes. <br /><br />And our chance to meet Oprah."}

{"text": "Twitter's direct messaging feature appears to be experiencing technical difficulties by not allowing certain messages to be sent if they contain links.\nThe issue was first noticed by some users Wednesday night, with tweets flagging the issue continuing to appear through Thursday morning and into the early afternoon.\nApparently, whether a message can successfully be sent depends on the link it contains. In internal tests, messages containing links to Twitter.com, Facebook.com, YouTube.com and NYTimes.com appeared to work fine. But messages containing links to Google.com did not go through, and neither did messages containing links to Businesswire.com, Inquisitr.com, PCWorld.com or Computerworld.com.\nTwitter could not immediately be reached to comment on the issue, though in other reports the company described the problem as a \"technical issue with URLs.\"\nSome users' problems, however, suggest there might be more going on. When trying to send a message containing a link, some users reported seeing a message that read, \"Permission denied. There was an error sending your message: Text contains malware.\"\nTweets and direct messages containing links can be dangerous on Twitter, and in the past have been used to hijack members' accounts. In the Netherlands, users reported earlier this year that they were targeted by malicious malware. In that case, hackers used links within Twitter to land people on external sites that would attack their browser and deliver malware.\nTwitter already tries to flag certain URLs to prevent phishing and scams, by blocking the posting of suspected malware URLs and flagging suspected harmful shortened URLs. Harmful sites may include phishing sites, sites that download malicious software to the user's computer, or spam sites that request personal information, the company says.\nBetter policing the links users send through direct messages, therefore, would make sense for Twitter.\nTwitter's direct messaging feature has lately been undergoing some experimentation. Last week a new account appeared on Twitter called \"Event Parrot,\" which uses direct messages to keep users up-to-date on the news. On Thursday, direct messages were still sent through that service, with functioning links to sites like NBC News.\nZach Miners covers social networking, search and general technology news for IDG News Service.

Yet, the world continues and so we may have one foot on the Way and another in our lives at home.\nAfter my Camino, I returned to my Northern California home, about 100 miles from raging fires and smoke and my own darkened community, with a PG&E preventive power outage that lasted several days for safety.

{"text": "Père Marquette and the Indians\nWilhelm Lamprecht (German 1838-1906)\nI once heard the Jesuit order of priests called the Marine Corp of the Catholic Church. In their quest to convert new souls to Christianity the Jesuits were always the first men on the beach, at the forefront of exploration all over the world..\nThe first missionaries to arrive in New France were Recollet priests in 1615. However, their missions ultimately failed and ten years later the Jesuits arrived. They were hearty men of action and their zeal to gather the souls of the indigenous people to God took them into the Great Lakes region and Michigan's upper peninsula. Fr. Jacques Marquette founded a mission at Sault Ste. Marie in 1668 and St. Ignace in 1671. He later traveled by canoe down the Mississippi River with explorer Louis Joliet, almost to the Gulf of Mexico.\nBesides their search for new souls to evangelize, the Jesuits tried to protect indigenous peoples from exploitation by the French traders--Brandy, for furs or prostitution among the native women, drunkenness and gambling destroyed the Jesuit's good works, leaving the local tribes in chaos. The Jesuit's public denunciations of these activities set them into trouble with the powers of commerce in New France, including Detroit's founder Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.\n\"The establishment of Detroit (1701) by La Mothe Cadillac, the French commander at Mackinac, drew away the Hurons from the latter post, and (Fr.) Carheil could no longer remain there. He had, moreover, provoked the enmity of Cadillac, and also of the fur-traders, by his opposition to the brandy traffic, so prevalent at all the trading-posts, and so demoralizing to both French and Indians.\"\nFr. Carheil was adamant in denouncing bad behavior at the French garrisons and called to abolish them.\n\"CLXXVII. (Fr.) Étienne de Carheil, who has been long stationed at Mackinac, writes (August 30, 1702) to Governor Callières a long account and vigorous denunciation of the lawless conduct and licentiousness that Prevail among both the savages and the French in that region.\n“the two Infamous sorts of Commerce which have brought the missions to the brink of destruction: . . . the Commerce in brandy, and the Commerce of the savage women with the French. Both are carried on in an equally public manner, without our being able to remedy the evil, because we are not supported by the Commandants. . . . All the villages of our savages are now only Taverns, as regards drunkenness; and sodoms, as regards immorality — from which we must withdraw, and which we must abandon to the just Anger and vengeance of God.”\nThe Jesuits must have had successes with the native tribes because in 1728 the Hurons requested a \"Black Robe\" as they called the Jesuits, be sent to Detroit to minister to them. Fr. Armand De La Richardie, S.J came from Quebec to establish a mission among them. That mission eventually became Assumption Church in Windsor Ontario.\nIn researching The Last Lord of Paradise, I found this seventy three volume set to be especially interesting. However it is now only available through a subscription.\nThe Jesuit relations and allied documents : travels and explorations of the Jesuit missionaries in New France, 1610-1791 : the original French, Latin, and Italian texts, with English translations and notes / edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites..\nThis set is also available at though not all volumes are yet entered.\nI know, it's a very long title, but these books contain first hand accounts of the earliest explorations and interactions of Jesuit priests with the indigenous peoples of North America. This collection of reports, letters, journals, reveals their sincere efforts to convert them to Christianity. Sometimes they were successful, often not, but they admit their disappointments and despair, along with their successes. Their deep faith in God and their religious zeal shows on every page.\nFrom Lake Superior to Detroit to Little Traverse Bay, Jesuits are mentioned on fourteen historical markers that dot the state of Michigan.\nThe Society of Jesus exists today, a world wide community still in service to Christ and the Pope.\nVivian"}
{"text": "“Peeyew!” “What is that smell?” “Oh, yuck!”\nDo you hear these comments every time someone walks in your door? Could it be that you have a severe odor problem in your home? Well, have no fear. Here are several tricks to help you sweeten the smell of your house.\nDON’T JUST MASK IT\nThere are a number of products and sprays available that claim to eliminate household odors, but the truth is most of them simply mask the smells. Truth also is that a lot of those products contain potentially dangerous ingredients, especially if used over and over again. However, there are a number of items you probably have in your refrigerator or pantry that can efficiently and safely eliminate odors.\nIDEA: CITRUS\nGRIND IT\nA number of products on the market boast an orange or citrus scent, so why not go right to the source. Grab a lemon, orange or lime and cut it into quarters. Then place one piece into your garbage disposal, turn on the hot water and grind away. (Save the other pieces in a closed baggie in the refrigerator for another day) You can also eat or use the inside for a recipe and just grind the peel. Any way you look at it, those ground up fruits will keep your kitchen smelling delicious. This is especially helpful if you’ve put something with a pungent smell in the disposal recently.\nPOUR IT\nIf you have a wooden cutting board or countertop that smells, consider pouring some lemon or lime juice on a wet rag and wiping the board or counter with the rag. Leave it there for a few minutes and then wipe the counter again with a clean, wet rag to keep the surface from getting sticky.\nIDEA: BAKING SODA\nEverybody knows about placing an opened box of baking soda in the freezer or refrigerator to eliminate odors. Here are a few other uses for baking soda to consider as well:\n- Sprinkle baking soda at the bottom of the trash can before placing a bag in.\n- Sprinkle a generous portion of baking soda in the disposal before turning it on.\n- Place a box of baking soda behind the toilet in the bathroom, behind the diaper pail or in a corner of the crawl space.\n- Sprinkle baking soda on your carpets or rugs, leave for a half hour or so and then vacuum up.\nIDEA: INFUSE WATER\nIf you still have odors in the kitchen, consider placing a pot of water on the stove to boil. You can throw in a variety of items depending on your preference-citrus peels, a cup of vinegar or cinnamon and cloves. Once the water is boiling, set the pot to simmer and enjoy the aroma! These items not only eliminate odors but make your house smell great as well.\nIDEA: VINEGAR\nEver get a nasty smell from your washing machine? I did and none of the suggestions from the company got rid of the stink. It was vinegar to the rescue.\nFill the tub of the washing machine and add about a cup of vinegar to the water. If you want you can throw in some stinky exercise or gym clothes as well and continue through the wash cycles. The smell should be gone.\nIDEA: SWEET SMELLS\nDo you like different aromas? Do you have any cooking extracts in your pantry? Soak a cotton ball in an extract and put the cotton ball on a saucer or lid and place it on the kitchen counter, in the bathroom, in the front room and even in your car. The best part is there are many different flavors to choose from including vanilla, coconut, mint, raspberry and chocolate.\nWith just a few household items your house can smell wonderful in no time at all and those negative comments will turn those of praise.\nGreat suggestions.\nI like the approach of non-chemical oder removers. The lemon juice on the counter technique is one I am going to try.\ni threw mothballs in my attic when storing winter clothes in plastic bags. the aroma has pulled thru the a/c duct work and my entire house smells of moth balls. how can i get rid of the smell?\nGreat question, Carolyn! You’re definitely on the road to a smart selling process, as you’re looking into these important issues now!\nWe did a little research for you and have found the following articles online, all detailing ways to get rid of that horrible mothball smell. Let us know what works for you!\n1. Online forum at thriftyfun.com.\n2. Some suggestions at Yahoo! Canada forum.\n3. “Removing Odors” from HGTV.\nI recently had a sewer back up under my home. The previous owners had that problem as well. Now i have the icky smell trapped in some cupboards and under the vanity in the bathroom. Any way of eliminating these odors without replacing vanity?\nThe vinegar option might be your best bet in this case. You’ll want to clean throughout the house with the vinegar wash, and allow it to dry near a fan.\nAlso, try pouring some down the pipes and around the drains. It should be able to rid the smell. Good luck!"}

They are urging DFO to change the 2018 Chinook Management Plan. The management actions announced yesterday by DFO are not precautionary enough to meet DFO’s own management objectives which are to support conservation and promote rebuilding of the Northern BC wild Chinook populations by reducing their overall exploitation rate by 25-35%. DFO’s management actions are not expected to reduce the exploitation rate on Northern Chinook by even the minimum objective of 25%, while requiring Skeena First Nations to limit their harvest of Chinook to numbers equal to the average between 2012 and 2016. Given that the Skeena sockeye forecast for 2018 is very low, this action by Canada means that our communities are at risk of not having sufficient food. This is unacceptable when non-First Nations fishers will still be allowed access to Skeena & Nass Chinook. More concerning is that marine sport fisheries on the North Coast have been allowed to exploit Skeena & Nass Chinook as usual until today and unofficial assessments of the fishery this year indicate that early-season effort has been much higher than what has been observed in past years. Skeena & Nass Chinook were certainly harvested during these early fisheries, but no data was collected, and this early-season harvest has not been accounted for in the decision-making leading to the management actions. We also want to point out that Canada’s actions are contrary to Canada’s Salmon Allocation Policy whereby the priority right to access salmon for food, social and ceremonial purposes is guaranteed to First Nations through section 35(1) of Canada’s Constitution and is only trumped by conservation. This priority right has been supported by many Court decisions since the ground-breaking Sparrow case of 1990. “How can we believe the Trudeau government’s statements about the importance of its relationship with Canada’s Indigenous peoples when it allows non-First Nations fishers to take salmon from our people? This is not just our battle; First Nations on the Fraser are also fighting for their priority access to Chinook.” said Charlie Muldon, Coordinator of Gitksan Watershed Authorities. In 2017 we voluntarily reduced the harvest of Skeena Chinook to promote conservation of the stocks. We will again ensure that our harvest of Skeena sockeye and Chinook in 2018 will not compromise the conservation of the wild component of these stocks. Considering this, we advised DFO to take a more precautionary set of management actions for the conservation of Northern BC Chinook. The set of management actions we presented to DFO were expected to result in a 30% reduction in exploitation rate on Skeena Chinook, while allowing us to harvest a reasonable number of fish, still well short of fulfilling our Food, Social and Ceremonial needs. Unfortunately, DFO rejected our proposal. Walter Joseph of the Office of the Wet’suwet’en said “The Wet’suwet’en have decided to conserve Chinook since we really don’t have a choice. Sockeye has been a problem for a long time due to DFO’s mismanagement of the Bulkley/Morice stocks. The Wet’suwet’en are running out of options for food fish.” We urge DFO and the Government of Canada to review their decision regarding the 2018 Northern Chinook management if they are serious about supporting conservation and promoting rebuilding of BC wild salmon populations as well as improving relations with Skeena First Nations.
