Jobs unwraps faster iMacs, Power Macs
NEW YORK--Apple Computer Chief Executive Steve Jobs unveiled speedier iMacs and Power Macs during his keynote speech Wednesday at the Macworld Expo here, though the announcements lacked the punch he usually offers at the trade show. Jobs introduced a 500MHz iMac, with 128MB of RAM and a 20GB hard drive, for $999. It comes in indigo and snow, which Apple resurrected after retiring the color earlier this year in favor of Flower Power and Blue Dalmatian. He touted another model in snow and graphite that runs at 600MHz, with 256MB of RAM and a 40GB hard drive, for $1,299. These two models are available now. The third model, which will be available in September, runs at 700MHz, with 256MB of RAM and a 60GB hard drive for $1,499. It will also come in snow and graphite. Each of the new models will include a CD-RW drive. Previously, the iMacs ran at 400MHz to 600MHz. Still, Jobs' speech lacked its typical surprise ending when he unveils the latest and greatest. Instead, Jobs … [Read more...] about Jobs unwraps faster iMacs, Power Macs
Subway to create 150 new jobs combining IT and marketing in digital omnichannel transformation
Fast food chain Subway is launching a new digital division that will add 150 new jobs to support the push for more digital technology within the organization and create an omnichannel strategy.Subway, which passed McDonald's in 2011 to become the world's largest restaurant chain, is teaming with Accenture to help fill the available digital jobs until permanent hires can be made, said Carman Wenkoff, Subway's CIO and chief digital officer."We'll be recruiting for all these positions now. We literally have 150 positions that are open and what we're doing is because we're also realistic about our timeline and relocating people, we're not going to rush it. So in the interim we'll fill many of those seats with our partner Accenture as we recruit more," Wenkoff said.The digital group is based at Subway's headquarters in Milford, Conn., and each new job will be located there as well. The job titles include diverse types of talent such as data analytics, campaign management, software … [Read more...] about Subway to create 150 new jobs combining IT and marketing in digital omnichannel transformation
The 8 best places in the Midwest to find a tech job
While tech jobs are plentiful in Silicon Valley and New York City, companies across the country are looking to hire tech workers as well, according to new research from job search site Indeed."Even outside the main tech hubs, job-seekers can find opportunities," said Indeed chief economist Jed Kolko. "It's true that none of the leading eight tech hubs are in the Midwest, and higher-paying tech jobs are increasingly clustered in those tech hubs. Still, some Midwest markets — like Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Milwaukee — offer some of the cutting-edge jobs that you find in Silicon Valley. Others, like Dayton and Kansas City, are seeing more tech job openings." Many of the available tech jobs right now are found outside of large tech companies or tech startups, Kolko said. "Today, nearly all sectors of the economy rely on technology and need technically skilled workers," he added. "Many industries that have traditionally had a strong presence in the Midwest, like retail, … [Read more...] about The 8 best places in the Midwest to find a tech job

Businesses Cautiously Optimistic in Wake of Jobs Report
With unemployment near its lowest of the past three years and consumer confidence numbers making the biggest one-month jump since 2003, suddenly the jobs picture and the economic outlook seem totally different as 2012 kicks off. According to the December 2011 jobs report, the unemployment rate fell again in December as 200,000 new jobs were added in the final month of 2011. These additions drove the unemployment rate to 8.5 percent, the lowest number since February 2009. This number marked the fourth straight month in which the unemployment rate has dropped and the sixth straight month in which 100,000-plus jobs were added to the economy. "The good news is that the number of owners cutting jobs has 'normalized'. In the past several months, reports of those cutting workers have been at the lowest levels since the recession started in December 2007," said William C. Dunkelberg, chief economist for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB)."Only time will tell … [Read more...] about Businesses Cautiously Optimistic in Wake of Jobs Report
5 Ways the Job Market May Change in 2017
Hiring may have dominated in 2016, but this year, analytics will become a larger part of the human resources department, the gig economy will reach a tipping point, and employers will return to more traditional benefits packages, one researcher predicts.After studying the job market over the past year, Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at Glassdoor, saw big labor-market trends unfold in 2016, and he expects some of those trends to carry over into 2017.According to Chamberlain, several job trends defined 2016. There was a significant increase in hiring (about 2 million new jobs added), but employers had difficulty finding the right candidates: Millions of those new jobs went unfilled, said Chamberlain. [See Related Story: Quiz: Are You Making the Right Hiring Decisions?] "Today, the ratio of unemployed Americans to open jobs stands at 1.4 to 1, down sharply from 6.6 to 1 during the last recession in July 2009," Chamberlain wrote.

Need a Gig for the Holidays? 8 In-Demand Seasonal Jobs This Year
With the holiday season upon us, hiring for seasonal jobs is well underway. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that over the past three decades, November and December are the two most active hiring months of the year for such jobs.New research from CareerCast finds that jobs in the retail industry have the most vacancies right now. Specifically, approximately 4,500 retail job openings are listed on the CareerCast site. The job search website shows that there are also a large number of openings for customer service and hospitality workers.Many of the jobs, however, aren't front-line positions. Out of the top eight jobs, three of this year's most in-demand seasonal jobs are management positions. Kyle Kensing, online content editor at CareerCast, said that this is being driven by the need for additional supervisors to be in charge of all of the new staff that's being hired for lower-level jobs.

Moral status" is a concept very well worth exploring. In many moral dilemmas, such as whether it is wrong to bring the life of someone terminally ill to a premature end, whether abortion is permissible, whether research using live human embryos or laboratory animals, should be prohibited, the question is often said to turn on the moral status of the entities concerned. So Mary Anne Warren's enterprise, to delineate "obligations to persons and other living things" is potentially fruitful, and of considerable importance.
Yet the argument of the book, though painstakingly thorough, seems somewhat hesitant. In the first part, Warren examines various criteria that have been suggested by moralists and philosophers as determining moral significance: life, sentience, "personhood", the ability to act as a moral agent, or to form relationships with humans. She sensibly concludes that moral status depends on a variety of factors, no one of which alone is sufficient or even necessary for its being accorded to a creature. In the second part, this multiplicity of criteria is shown at work, applied to the issues of euthanasia, abortion and animal rights. The central weakness lies in her reluctance to state clearly what her own starting point is.
We need to know to what extent she feels herself bound, like Aristotle, to the way things are, the "phenomena": the way, that is, in which people on the whole actually do believe that they have duties to other people or other animals, and the importance they actually do, for the most part, accord to one another or to their non-human environment. Sometimes she speaks of the need "not to stray too far from common sense"; elsewhere on the other hand, she seems afraid that she may be guilty of "rampant human chauvinism", or the sin of anthropocentricity. Yet at other times she denies, or nearly denies that it is a sin: she very reasonably allows that "we are not gods but human beings, reasoning about how we ought to think and act. Our moral theories can only be based upon what we know and what we care about, or ought to care about. If this makes our theories anthropocentric, then this much anthropocentrism is inevitable to any moral theory that is relevant to human actions". Quite so. But she is unduly respectful of the view that morality must encompass non-human animals.
She appears to hold, moreover, that our being able to "emp-hathise" with fictional characters from outer space (such as E.T. in the film) entails that we must in actual fact have duties towards any such characters as we may one day encounter. One could, equally, say that we must have duties towards certain fairies, on the grounds that we can understand the distinction between good and wicked fairies. It is necessary to distinguish between such hypotheses, and those concerned with a foreseeable future, in terms of which we might define moral duties we now have.
Warren's insistence that there are multiple criteria according to which we accord moral status to things, fits with how most people actually feel. As she says: "The multi-criterial account permits us to take account of a wider range of both intrinsic and relational properties (in the awarding of moral status). One desirable result of this ethical eclecticism is that we will often find moral theory moving closer to moral common sense."

The Lexington Legends took a 2-0 lead in the first inning Sunday, and their bats took the rest of the day off.
The Rome Braves held Lexington scoreless from the second inning on and won 3-2 at Whitaker Bank Ballpark to salvage a split of the four-game series.
Lexington had just three hits in the game, one past the first inning. Rome had 10 hits, including a tie-breaking homer by Robby Hefflinger in the seventh inning.
Ben Heath's sacrifice fly and Daniel Adamson's RBI single gave the Legends a 2-0 lead.
After Heath's single in the third, the Legends went hitless against Rome pitchers Carlos Perez, Ronan Pacheco (3-6) and Cody Martin.
Rome trimmed the lead to 2-1 in the fourth inning on a single by Chris Garcia.
Garcia drove in another run in the sixth to tie it 2-2, this time on an RBI groundout.
Legends reliever Gabriel Garcia replaced starter Michael Foltynewicz to open the seventh inning, and Hefflinger greeted him with a leadoff homer to left for a 3-2 Braves lead.

'Mediterranea' University of Reggio Calabria, Reggio Calabria, Italy
Rice University, Houston, TX
This paper deals with the interaction of sea waves with a moored floating rectangular structure. The problem is of interest in various practical situations such as the design of floating breakwaters and of artificial islands, and the modelling of wave-ice sheet interaction. In the paper the incident wave field is modelled as a Gaussian stochastic process of a specified spectrum. In this context a diffraction problem and a radiation problem are posed. The related boundary value problem is discussed and solved by an eigen-functions expansion matching method. The method renders an estimate of the velocity potential at the first order in a Stokes' expansion and, thus, of the wave pressure and of the wave forces. Several hydrodynamic quantities of interest are investigated. Specifically, reflection and transmission coefficients are derived and represented as a function of the structural dimensions. Further, the added mass and radiation damping terms are estimated. Then, the dynamics of the floating structure is examined by considering a 3-D-O-F system. Next, the wave-structure interaction is investigated in the context of a Quasi-Determinism theory. It is shown that the developed approach can be employed to account for both the dynamic and hydrodynamic effects of a structure in which diffraction is not negligible. The theoretical results are supplemented with data from pertinent Monte Carlo simulations.

Let God Help You Decide On A Spouse Series
Contributed by Tim Pollock on May 19, 2016 (message contributor)
Summary: Sermon Series by Dr. Tim Pollock
The well-known novelist, C.S. Lewis once mused, "Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives." I could not agree more! Truly, love is what makes life worth living.
We know from reading the Bible that God cares about morals. The Old and New Testament both, brim with incredible principles of integrity for the home, business and community. But our God, who is love, is also touched by our personal lives! He cares deeply that we have our needs met. In fact, God is so compassionate He even longs for us to receive the very desires of our heart. God's greatest gift to Adam was a loving spouse!
1. A Godly Spouse Brings the Greatest Comfort in This Life
God saw that Adam was alone and saw that it wasn't good. So, obviously He said, "I'm going to bring someone into Adam's life that's going to be the best possible thing to solve his loneliness - a dog?" No! It is said that a dog is a man's best friend and to be sure they can be a wonderful companion. But as wonderful as they are, they are still just an animal. God didn't say, "Adam, it's not good that you are alone so I'm going to bring you a son or a daughter." Now truly, what could bring more joy in life than having a godly son or a virtuous daughter who shares the same blood? What could bring any greater satisfaction than that? And yet, as great as that is, God didn't say I'm going to bring a child into your life. God also didn't bring a parent, or sibling, or friend or mentor despite the many benefits of such relationships.
The one thing that God DID give to Adam was a woman...a wife. In that one person you have all of those things, and more, rolled into one package. When friendship is needed your wife is your best friend. When touch is needed your husband is there. When counsel is needed, it is your wife or husband that is your number one person to go to. When ministry is needed two can serve together in an amazing way. When care is needed a husband comes alongside his wife and a wife comes alongside her husband. What better possible thing could God have done than to have said, "I'm going to bless you Adam, and I'm going to bring someone perfectly suited for you."
2. A Godly Spouse Brings Favor
"…and obtaineth favour of the LORD" (Proverbs 18:22).
Notice in this verse how that a godly mate brings "favor." There are a number of ways in which our mate brings the blessing of heaven, but one big way is through growing Christ's attitudes in us. Our marriage partner choice will become the "heavenly sand paper" that takes our rough edges off, but that is part of God's favor. Grace, which is defined as God's favor, comes to the humble (James 4:6). A mate can bring us to a point of great humility before the Lord as we cry out to God for a mate and perhaps even because of our mate. A husband or wife's actions and attitudes can get into places in our soul that nobody else can and that's why God uses a mate often to massage and soften our spirit. The favor of the Lord doesn't come cheaply. God doesn't just pour out His favor on us because we drive a certain car or have a certain color of skin or denominational name on our church…God pours favor on people who have plowed deeply into their soul of souls.

Couldn't get a hold of WH, panicked...false alarm...

callmesteph posted 7/4/2014 20:00 PM
I drove to LA for surgery earlier this week and my WH stayed back to work. I have many friends and family here to help take care of me after surgery so we agree for him to fly and meet me tomorrow (Saturday) so he could help me drive home next week.
I tried to call him at 4:30pm repetitively today and could not get a hold of him. Did not answer my texts either.
I panicked.....haven't done that for months. I asked my friend to come over my house to check to see if he was at home as there was the possibility he was sleeping. If he lied that he was at home then I would also have evidence. She checked and he was not home.
Thirty minutes later, after endless anxiety filled moments he called to tell me that he just landed at LAX airport and wanted to surprise me a day early. He had called to ask my niece my hotel room number earlier in the day but of course I was not in on it.
So I am here...,,part relief but part sad that I have to feel this way because of what he did. I guess it's normal to feel this way afterward the betrayal that we go thru.
I also feel very happy that it was a false alarm! Thought I share just in case others want to chime in on similar experiences!
Happy 4th to all you wonderful folks here on SI.

NeverAgain2013 posted 7/5/2014 08:24 AM
That was a lovely surprise that he came a day early!
You know, it took me a long, long time to finally stop involuntarily triggering about certain things or actions that had always caused me anxiety. Over time, you find yourself not reacting as deeply as you used to. I think with time and the security you're slowly rebuilding once more, you'll see one day you won't react nearly as much as you did this time.
Schadenfreude posted 7/5/2014 10:12 AM
Glad you are feeling better about the situation.
But I am confused. YOU are having surgery but drove. HE is just visiting but flew? Isn't that a little backwards?
callmesteph posted 7/5/2014 10:14 AM
NeverAgain2013.....I used to be such a carefree person, very independent of WH actions. PostA....every little red flag spontaneously stimulates a verification reaction since that complete trust is no longer present.
I think with time and the security you're slowly rebuilding once more, you'll see one day you won't react nearly as much as you did this time.
Thank you for that...I can't wait til that day comes!
callmesteph posted 7/5/2014 11:29 AM
Schadenfreude.....lol again! Yes my life seems backwards in many respect :). It's just that we don't have family where we live and I preferred to drive since I have 3 kids that love to be around cousins their age down south (BTW my WH can not handle watching the kids x1 wk by himself!). So H flies to see me for a couple days...while I get clearance from the surgeon 7 days post-op then he would drive us home instead of flying.
Hope that clarifies the confusion and thank you for your concern....I was also very "kind" to him for surprising me early!
P.s. He did offer to drive us to LA (8 hrs drive) but I didn't think it was necessary so I declined. Although I had to go under, the surgery wasn't life threatening to warrant his presence.

Gotta try to have a little humor here that isn't A related, right?

Serious Protection from RansomwareSubmitted by trifecta-admin on Tue, 06/06/2017 - 02:15
Cybercriminals are always looking for a new angle, and everyone is a potential target. Over time, organized crime has become better at targeting people and entities that are more vulnerable to cyber attacks.
One of the most popular ways to obtain money illegally is to engage in ransomware activity. This is the process of encrypting files or otherwise restricting access to a computer system until money is paid to the criminal.

This is a new song specially composed for the new Disney movie Oz The Great And Powerful. The poppy midtempo might be a tad too sweet for some, but within the context of a Disney film, one would expect it to be like that. Mariah really sings her heart out on this. She sings with her full voice versus some of the breathy whispering she has done on some of her songs throughout the last decade. She really lets loose in the final parts of the song with the thundering ad-libs one would expect from her. Overall, this song is really beautiful.

There's a new head honcho Crossroads Demon, and he's got an offer the Winchesters can't refuse: a surefire way to find Jack. He just needs them to do one little thing first….
Supernatural – "The Scorpion and the Frog", Season 13, Episode 8
Airdate: November 30, 2017
Director: Robert Singer
Writer: Meredith Glynn
Created by: Eric Kripke
What You Should Know:
At the end of season 12 the former King of Hell, and once King of the Crossroads, Crowley, saw an opportunity to trap Lucifer in another world and he took it. But it cost him his life.
After accidentally killing an innocent man during a confrontation with a monster, Jack panicked and fled the safety of the bunker, Castiel, and the Winchester's protection. For reasons unknown, no one has been able to find him since. This includes Asmodeus, the Fourth Prince of Hell, who has taken over the throne and captured both the newly returned Lucifer and Castiel in the process.
What You'll Find Out:
At 7:45PM on a Friday, an unfamiliar woman enters a museum in England. With a few surreptitious glances around to make sure no one's looking she sneaks downstairs, into an 'employees only' area. Coming upon locked door she extracts a piece of paper with a code written on it and types it in, but the code fails. When the code fails again she results in breaking the door in with force, then hurriedly moves past the stored artifacts on shelves and begins to shuffle through the drawers. She paws through rolled up scrolls and laminated parchments, looking for something specific. Eventually, she finds what she wants, two pieces of parchment which appear to be written in the language of the angels, Enochian. She takes them and slips them into her large purse. But as she's doing this a guard enters the room and catches her.
Seeing an opportunity for an easier escape, the woman looks at him and opens her mouth. Black smoke pours out, revealing that the woman had been possessed by a demon all along. The demon takes possession of the guard and the woman's body, likely deceased, falls to the ground. The guard takes the purse and exits the room.
In an alley behind the museum the guard, with the purse, meets up with a man in a business suit. He hands the Enochian papers over and eagerly asks the other man, presumably another demon, how much he thinks Asmodeus will reward them for this acquisition. The other demon takes the papers and promptly kills his companion. Then he pulls out his cell phone and calls Dean Winchester.
Dean, cleaning his gun for lack of anything better to do, and Sam is at the bunker, again discussing their lack of findings on Jack's whereabouts. Sam mentions he'd recently spoken to Castiel with no luck. Dean's phone rings, the caller ID labeled 'Unknown', and he answers on speaker. The caller is the demon in England, offering a proposition. He says he has a surefire Nephilim tracking spell, and he's willing to give it to them if they'll meet him at a specified location. Dean and Sam exchange looks, knowing enough about demons to know it's a trap of some kind, but also know they can't just ignore that kind of possibility. With Sam's urging, Dean reluctantly agrees to the meet.
Dean and Sam make their way to the specified diner, Dean expressing his displeasure at the idea. He tells Sam that he'd decided after Crowley died, that they needed to be done with demons. Sam agrees but insists they need to hear the guy out. They step into the diner and find a well-dressed man, obviously the demon, sitting alone at a four-seater table with a plated slice of pie in front of him. The Winchesters take the seats across from him and the man slides the pie to Dean as a sort of peace offering. He introduces himself as Barthamus, or Bart, the new 'Head of the Crossroads.'
Sam cuts right to the point, asking about the spell, and Bart pulls out one of the pieces of parchment and hands it over. But the boys are no amateurs dealing with demons, especially crossroads demons. There's always a catch. And when pressured, Bart confesses that there is something he wants in return. He says the paper is only half the spell, and he'll gladly hand over the second half if they do just one favor for him first. This raises Dean's hackles and he asks why he shouldn't just kill Bart and take the other half, or why they should trust him at all.
Knowing when to step out, Bart gets up and addresses Sam, saying since he's the "smart one," he should look into the spell to verify its authenticity. And when they find he's right, they can give him a call to negotiate the terms for retrieval of the second half. He leaves his number and walks away before any more death threats are issued. Sam examines the paper and Dean watches Bart leave with a frustrated expression before turning forward, picking up the fork, and eating the pie. Sam gives him a mildly horrified look but Dean keeps eating because there's no sense in wasting good pie.
Back at the bunker, Sam has done some research on the parchment and discovered that Bart seems to have been telling them the truth. As far as he can tell, the paper is one half of a larger spell created a long time ago by a jealous husband in order to keep tabs on his Nephilim wife, the legendary Queen Sheba. Bizarre as it is, everything points to this being their best chance at finding Jack. So, with extreme reluctance, Dean and Sam make their way to Bart's location.
Bart and two of his henchmen are waiting in some kind of warehouse with a couple of desks set up and an old, portable board covered in photographs and various other papers. A makeshift office. As Sam and Dean walk up the two henchmen, unaware, grumble about getting bored waiting and how they don't think the brothers will show. Barthamus assures them they will moments before the Winchesters enter the space.
Bart greets them and introduces them to his companions, a female with earplugs in her ears called Smash, and a male finishing off a second cup of presumably fast food soda called Grab. Dean repeats their names incredulously, to which Smash sarcastically assures him they're not their real names. Bart clarifies that Smash is a human and Grab is a demon, and that Grab is an expert at finding the location of things – namely vaults and other such things – and Smash is particularly talented at breaking into them. It's about at this time that Dean and Sam realize they're being asked to help with an honest to goodness heist. Something they aren't especially suited for, or comfortable with.
Drawing their attention to the board, Bart shows them a photo of a skinny, older man with a malicious face. He introduces the man as Luther Shrike and explains that Luther has something of his which he wants back very badly. The obvious question, of course, is why can't Bart simply get it himself. And the answer is because Luther knows that Bart wants this item, which is locked away in a large pine box, which itself is inside a secure vault, and Luther has warded it very tightly. Bart looks squarely at Dean and declares that only a man – a human – who has been to Hell and returned can open that vault. And to emphasize his point he asks if Dean knows any men like that. Dean flashes back to a brief few of his memories from his time in hell before gathering himself but doesn't actually answer.
Still not convinced this is a deal they should agree to, Sam and Dean try getting Bart to tell them what's in the box, but Bart refuses. The most he will give them is that it is very important to him – that it's personal. And that Luther is a genuinely bad human being, so they shouldn't feel too bad about taking something from him. Seeing their hesitation, Bart pushes the envelope by reminding them the weight he has over them. He tells them that he, of course, made a copy of the first page before giving it to them. And that if they refuse he'll simply hand over both copies to Asmodeus, stating that he only gave them the chance first because he hates Asmodeus more than them.
The brothers request a moment to themselves to talk over their options and step away. Neither like the idea of helping steal from a human on behalf of a demon. But both agree they really need that spell. Both also agree it's almost certainly some kind of trap, and that in the end, Bart will likely betray them. Sam asks Dean what they intend to do about that likelihood and Dean says their best bet is to just kill Bart before he springs the trap. Sam agrees and the brothers return to Bart, agreeing to his terms. They'll be taking Smash and Grab along with them after they devise a plan to even get into Luther's place. Bart assures them Luther won't even see them coming.
An unidentified demon warns Luther that Barthamus is coming. He implores Luther to work with Asmodeus. Luther leads the demon to his door, as if walking him, but walks him instead into a hidden devil's trap. He declares he takes orders from no one and he is always ready as he performs a quick, flawless exorcism from memory, sending the demon back to Hell.
Sam pulls up to Luther's gate in the Impala that night, telling him via the intercom that he's the man Luther had spoken to through email regarding a family heirloom. Luther lets him in. Hidden in the back of the Impala, covered by a dark blanket, are Dean and Smash. Dean pokes his head out from the blanket to tease Smash about her ridiculous '90s shoes and she tells him to shut up. Since Luther's property is huge, Sam stops in a dark area so Dean and Smash can sneak out to begin the search for Bart's mystery box. Before they depart, Dean reminds Sam to stall Luther as long as possible, and also to "not get dead." Once they're clear Sam continues on to the large house, takes a plain box from the seat beside him, and approaches the steel door. It's covered in protection spells from top to bottom and opens on its own. He slowly steps in, taking in the grand foyer entrance complete with devil's trap. Luther calls to him from another room and Sam follows the voice to find Luther sitting behind a desk in a room boasting several relics.
Dean and Smash make their way to a barn-like building out of sight and Dean begins preparing a demon summoning spell. While she's waiting Smash pulls out a can of soda, "Nerve Damage," which has since gone out of circulation. Dean comments that he used to love the drink, insinuating this is due to the fact that it had something like ten times the legal limit of caffeine, so Smash offers him a can. He takes a long drink, seems to smile at the memory, before resuming his work and striking up more of a conversation. He tells her working with demons is a bad idea and she retorts that he's working for a demon, too. He grumbles he has no choice and she gives him a pointed look. Dean pauses to ask if she's in some kind of trouble, but instead of opening up further Smash urges him to finish the spell. He does so and Grab appears. Not wanting to waste more time, Dean immediately asks where the vault is, and Grab explains that he can't tell because the vault is under a cloaking spell. Recognizing Dean's frustrated expression Grab adds that Dean himself holds the answer in his blood, summarizing it as "you have it, the vault wants it." He then casts a sort of guiding spell on Dean, which takes hold of Dean's right arm, initially swinging it out and wide in all directions until finally settling on one, indicating the direction they need to go.
Sam compliments Luther's collection, attempting to strike a bit of a conversation. Luther seems to entertain this at first, going so far as to draw Sam's attention to one of his items, calling it a Basilisk fang. Sam examines it and cautiously explains that it's actually not a Basilisk fang, but a Gorgon tooth, which is "still cool." At this point Luther declares he'd rather focus on business, so Sam complies and opens the box, presenting the item he's claiming to be there to sell. A one-of-a-kind demon-killing knife.
Trudging through the forested property with Dean's outstretched arm in the lead, Dean demands to know how long it will take to find the vault. Grab absently replies it'll take what it takes, aggravating Dean, who returns that nothing had better happen to Sam while they're out in the woods. Grab comments that if Sam gets hurt it's his own fault. Dean turns around, somehow temporarily overpowering the spell, with an angry and threatening "What'd you say?" But the spell takes control again, preventing any conflict, and guides them around a few more trees until they come face to face with an unlocked basement hatch. The spell releases Dean, indicating that they've reached their destination. Grab declares that he's not going inside, as he's already done his part, and tells his "Hand Puppet" to get moving. Dean turns around long enough to promise that he wholly intends to kill the demon before leading Smash into the basement. They flick on the light at the bottom of the stairs and find a door covered in more wards and an old lion's head style mount at the center, its mouth open. Smash declares that Dean will probably have to stick his hand into the mouth to open the door.
Luther, pleased with the knife, asks Sam his price. Sam awkwardly says the price they negotiated in the email is fine. Luther accepts and pulls out a wad of money, but instead of handing it over declares that he knows it's not the money Sam's really there for. He picks up the knife, standing now, and says Sam is there to rob him. That Bart sent him. Sam steps back, raising his hands in defense, denying the accusation and claiming Luther misunderstands. But Luther attacks as he states that he doesn't believe Sam, calling Sam a demon and going to stab him. They break into a fight, with the knife getting knocked sideways briefly. Sam is thrown to the ground so Luther goes for one of the guns he has on display. Sam's able to avoid the shotgun blast, scoops up the knife, and while Luther reloads he rushes Luther and stabs him. Only to realize that Luther barely even bleeds. Luther looks him the eye and reveals a detail Bart had omitted: while he remains on his own property, he can't die. Luther takes advantage of a stunned Sam to hit him in the head with the rock piece containing the Gorgon tooth, rendering Sam unconscious.
Meanwhile, Dean's freaking out over having to stick his hand into a mysterious and likely booby-trapped hole where "there could be anything!" He has to take several deep breaths, and talk himself up to it before he can make himself slide his hand into the lion-faced mount on the door. When nothing happens he visibly relaxes, even turning to Smash as if to express his relief. But then the mechanism inside clamps down on his hand, holding him in place, and the panic resumes. He struggles, but can't pull out, and his finger is pricked. A drop of blood falls onto a medallion inside the hidden system and Dean shouts at the sharp prick. Then his hand is released and he jerks it back, to find only a small drop of blood on one finger. His embarrassment is evident as Smash asks him "You gonna live?"
The vault door swings open, revealing a short hallway to the safe itself, and Smash steps forward to do her part. A single step on the warded tiles sets off a trap and Dean only barely pulls her out of the way of a flying projectile that might have killed her. Grab shouts down from outside to check on their progress but Dean ignores him in favor of finding out if Smash knew anything about these traps. Smash assures him she didn't. Grab turns away in frustration, coming face-to-face with Luther in time to get stabbed and killed with the demon knife. Dean runs a hand down his face as he tries to figure out how to handle the "dollar store Indiana Jones crap" when Smash calls for his attention and he turns to find Luther standing at the bottom of the stairs, knife in hand. In a rush of panic, Smash flees, but Luther stays to deal with Dean.
Dean asks about his brother and Luther answers honestly, that he left him alive after realizing he wasn't a demon. Dean spots the knife and pulls out his gun. He offers Luther the chance to surrender, hand over the safe and they can all be on their way, but Luther declines. Dean shoots him several times but only succeeds in slowing Luther's progress. Sam, having rushed in from behind, shouts to Dean that Luther's immortal. So Dean adjusts his grip on the gun and punches Luther with it, knocking him out.
While Luther's unconscious Dean and Sam tie him to a post and when he wakes up Dean takes over the interrogation. He tells Luther to give them the secret to getting to the safe but Luther tells them they'll never get past the 'riddle,' and if they try they'll be struck with 1,000 darts. Each dart is silver tipped and filled with arsenic, holy water, and holy oil. Perfect for repelling any shifters, humans, demons, or angels. He laughs and wishes them good luck, so Dean slaps duct tape over his mouth to shut him up.
Smash makes it all the way to the entrance gate, constantly looking behind her to be sure Luther isn't chasing her. But right when she reaches the gate – and her chance at escape – Barthamus appears on the other side. He asks what she's doing and she breathlessly exclaims that the job went sideways, Grab is dead, and probably the Winchesters, too. He doesn't seem to find this a good reason to be abandoning ship but she pushes, saying she'll just do another job for him. Bart calls her "Alice," her real name, adding that he won't renegotiate her deal just because he likes her. She asks what he wants her to do.
Dean and Sam, leaning on either side of the entrance to the hallway to the safe, discuss their options. Sam explains that he thinks the floor works like a giant keypad and they have to step on the spaces in a very specific order, an order that only Luther – whom he refers to as Shrek – knows. Rolling with the new nickname, Dean agrees but points out that Shrek's not talking. They go back and forth until Sam spots the item, a rolling wooden cart, which Dean had left the duct tape on. And declares he has a crazy idea. Having no problem with crazy, Dean helps Sam secure 'Shrek' to the wooden cart and roll it into position in front of the hallway. Still bound and duct taped, Luther has no way to resist. And still, on his property, he won't die. So the brothers shove him forward, letting Luther trigger all the traps and take all the deadly darts. Then Dean ties him back up and the brothers step up to the safe. Only it's an old style safe that neither of them has seen before. Needless to say, neither of them knows how to crack it.
Smash, aka Alice, arrives, declaring that she does. The brothers turn, surprised to see her, and Dean calls her out on running away. She snaps that she wouldn't be there if she had a choice and Sam realizes aloud that she made a deal and sold her soul. Alice gives him a pointed look, replying she wishes she could take it back, but now she's "gotta take care of me." They offer to help her but she vehemently refuses and shoulders past them to crack the safe. She gets it open, Sam and Dean haul out the large wooden box Bart told them to get, and when they exit the hallway they find Luther has managed to escape his binds. But chasing him isn't their priority, so they rush back to the Impala.
On the road, somewhere just beyond Luther's property, Dean turns a corner and nearly runs head-on into a parked red pickup with Luther in the driver's seat. His expression is that of a madman and it's clear he intends to run them off the road with his truck. Dean throws the Impala into reverse, barely managing to keep from being creamed by the larger vehicle as Luther attempts to plow into them. After several long seconds, Dean angles the car around enough for Sam to lean out and shoot out one of Luther's tires, ceasing his forward momentum. Everyone climbs out of their vehicles and Luther snaps at them that they don't know what they're doing. That Barthamus is evil.
Luther tells them the story of how he sold his soul many years ago. That his young son was sick and dying, so he sold his soul to Barthamus in order to save his son's life. And his son got better, but in just two years' time, his son drowned. That he'd gone to Barthamus in anger and Barthamus had callously brushed it off as a random accident that was out of his control. Luther went on to say that when his time eventually came and he was pulled down to Hell, he made a second deal with Barthamus. The deal which made him immortal so long as he remained on his property. Sam and Dean, surprised to hear that anyone could manage a deal after death, ask how he did it. Luther explains he pulled it off because he had leverage. He tugs a key from a chain around his neck and tells them to open the box they stole from him, so they can see for themselves. They take the key, pull the box from the Impala, and open the box to find a pile of old, semi-dusted bones. Barthamus' bones.
Then Barthamus shows up, making his entrance by lopping off Luther's head with a machete. He makes a taunting remark about how Luther should have known better than to leave his property before turning his attention to Sam, Dean, and Alice. With a smile he congratulates them on a job well done. He extracts the second half of the spell, as promised, and asks them to slide over the box. But Sam and Dean hesitate. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill a dangerous demon, and save the girl standing beside them. On the flip side, though, they really do need that spell.
Bart sees their hesitation and reminds them of how important this tracking spell is. Reminds them of their arrangement. When this fails to work he quickly snatches Alice, grabbing her by the throat. He assures them that even if they set his bones on fire, thereby killing him, he will have enough time to snap her neck before he dies. And they'll never get the spell. Seeing no other choice, Sam and Dean slowly agree, on the condition that he let Alice go. They kneel down as if to slide the box closer, but Bart sends Alice to lock it back up. Alice makes a comment to them quietly, as if ashamed, in apology, to which Dean responds that he understands. She has to "take care of you." He inclines his head and she looks into the box, seeing that he's somehow slipped his lighter on top of the bones. She kneels down, pretending to reach up to grab the lid, but instead grabs the lighter, flicks it, and tosses it in. Bart realizes too late he's been betrayed. His body goes up in flames moments after his bones, but seconds pass before it occurs to Sam to try and rescue the parchment. He manages to pull it from Bart's burning grasp but fails to save it. The spell is lost.
Dean and Sam walk Alice to a nearby bus station to see her off and wish her well. She thanks them for helping her escape Barthamus and giving her a new lease on life. In return, as she steps onto the bus, Dean asks her to "stay weird." She responds by sticking out her tongue at him.
Back home at the bunker, the brothers are sharing a beer as they absorb what happened. Sam admits that he's frustrated and Dean points out the positive, that they did save someone, and that's a good feeling. Sam counters that they're back to "square one" in regards to finding Jack. Dean nods and says they'll find another way. And if that way fails they'll find another after that, and another, and another. That they'll keep moving, keep fighting. Because that's what they do. Sam smiles and says it's good to hear him talking that way again.
What Does This Mean for the Future?
For starters, it obviously means no one is any closer to finding Jack. It's beginning to feel as if Jack has been captured, possibly due to his general naivety about the world. Or perhaps it's a subconscious effect of his power. In which case he will likely have to voluntarily return or reach out to the Winchesters.
This is also the first sign of discontent among the demons with regards to Asmodeus' reign. Before now every demon has seemed to be happily following along – or quickly killed. This could be a hint of a larger faction which will help Lucifer escape, or at least flock to his side when rumor of his return spreads.
Mostly, though, the story was a sign of Dean's resettling with himself. He's seemed more himself since Castiel's return, but also things have been rush-rush-rush with the ghoul hunt in Dodge City, the explosion of Jack's vanishing, and the run-in with Ketch that followed. Here he was the Dean Sam was earlier trying to help him get back to. That was the point in the final scene, and a necessary step forward for the Winchesters to be able to face the threats looming ahead.
Rating: 7.5/10
Final Thought: There's a lot of what makes Supernatural so good in this episode. An unexpected, atypical case, a shady deal with a shadier demon, moments of moral importance, and plenty of interspersed humor to keep it all moving along. If there had been more of a real tie-in with the overarching plot of the season I could've rated it higher, but the 'tie-in' was pretty weak and ultimately a fail. In the best of ways, of course.
Let's break it down some. First, Barthamus. Honestly, he did great. He seemed like a really good character to fill the void for the role of 'head crossroads demon,' whatever actual title that may be. Somewhat business-oriented, definitely still demonically shady and manipulative. But way less charming and witty than his predecessor, Crowley. I was a bit surprised that he was killed off in his debut episode. Not going to complain, he certainly had it coming, but definitely surprised. I think Sam and Dean showed a decent amount of growth in the way they handled Bart, too. While they've often approached a demon-heavy situation with caution, they've also frequently get caught up in it, too. Not uncommonly barely escaping with their lives, usually resulting in the lead demon escaping. This time they kept control through most of it, even when it came to sacrificing their endgame for the sake of an innocent life.
Do I think we'll see "Smash," aka Alice, again? Probably not. But it's not impossible, either. I think the real takeaway here is the heavy sense of familiarity that we haven't seen in a little while. Sam and Dean, another case solved, another life saved, walking the would-be victim to a bus station and the start of a new, safer life. Proof that they'd done good. It was a positive, a reminder of sorts. As if to say 'so we didn't find Jack today, but you know what, we did some good. There's always tomorrow.' Or, you know, next Thursday.

I need help shooting Kodachrome

Assuming the footage is repeatable, I'd be tempted to reshoot, ditch the faulty stuff and save the cost of processing.

All Super 8 cameras, more or less, have the internal 85A filter and K40 does require it. A daylight-balanced cartridge would push it out of the way automatically- that's what the notch below the gate is for, it leaves that push button where it is so the filter stays in. You don't add another. If you have, the film will be very warm in tone assuming the TTL meter gets the exposure right through the 85A. It's a significant overcorrection and I don't know if it is correctable in telecine.
Assuming the footage is repeatable, I'd be tempted to reshoot, ditch the faulty stuff and save the cost of processing.
Who knows what a double filtration will actually do, especially if the film was exposed properly. The film is 19 years out of date and I think it would be fun just to see what actually happened.
If shooting indoors and if you want to remove the filter, you might find that a quarter fits in the slot and will work. Some cameras slots would allow a quarter to be used, but not all. I don't know if the canon has the proper slit or not to fit a quarter.
If you have enough light, the filter color can probably be removed in post. I think its easier to remove color from film than change a too blue film, especially if the blue is on people's faces.

For the smallish amount of money involved, go for it. But don't double-filter the rest!

If you want to shoot K40 outdoors, put the switch on the right-hand side of the camera on the sun symbol: this will engage the internal conversion filter, converting tungsten-balanced film to day light. If you want to shoot indoors (with tungsten lights), put the switch on the bulb symbol: this will disengage the filter.
I shot K40 as old as 13 years. If you have always kept it refrigerated (in the freezeer preferably) it should turn out well, Speed may be am issue though for stock so old; perhaps you should overexpose by a stop or so.
Good luck

i'm pretty sure you double filtered this. You can do all filtering and exposure manually when you tape the notches on the cartridge. See HERE for a printed version of the notch ruler for the s8 carts.

It is extremely likely that every teacher will encounter learners with SEND at some point in the career and yet for many in the profession supporting those with additional requirements can be challenging.
This reflection framework - developed as part of a suite of SEND Reviews and resources - aims to support teachers to evaluate the extent ot which they can meet the reuirements of leaners with SEND. It can be used as a valuable tool for both individual and whole school self-assessment and improvment, and to support a process of school-to-school review and support.
While created as part of the SEND REview Programme, run by Whole School SEND, it is important ot note that this Framework - like others - has a value beyond SEND learners.
Understanding how you evaluate yourself and develop your professional attitudes and practices can lead to much broader improvements in performance.
The Framework can be adapted to a local context, and a white label version is available for those wishing to adjust it for specific settings.
We are very grateful to those who have contributed to this Framework, particularly the parents, carers and young people who have had a profound effect on its development.
We are delighted to be part of the Whole School SEND community of practice, and excited by the potential it has to transform outcomes for children and young people.

"This isn't really a recipe. These really aren't pickled garlic, even though they taste like pickled garlic after a couple weeks. It is just a good way to preserve garlic for all other uses now that the U.S. Department of Agriculture says you shouldn't store garlic cloves in a jar of olive oil. Other than that, my preference would still be storage in oil. If you are a garlic-freak, these are good munchies after setting for a week or so."
Pickled Garlic
0 recipe photos
READY IN:5mins
YIELD:1 quart
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 quart fairly large garlic, cloves,peeled,left whole
- distilled white vinegar or white wine vinegar, as needed
- **Many supermarkets now sell pre-peeled garlic cloves at a reasonable price.
- This is the only way to go when fixing this unless you love peeling garlic!
- Loosely fill a one quart canning jar with garlic cloves.
- Top up jar with white wine vinegar.
- Store in refrigerator.
- Use garlic a little more generously than you would when using genuine freshly peeled garlic.
- It loses some of its flavor to the vinegar and mellows out quite a bit.
- The loss of flavor is more than offset by the flavor of the vinegar.
- A couple of tablespoons, added to the regular vinegar used in salad dressings, is great!
- Just be sure to add a little fresh vinegar to the jar to keep the garlic covered.

Tundra, aka Whistling Swans down the beach behind the big sand bar at Port Republic. They'll be leaving about the time the Ospreys return.
Tundra Swans wintering in Chesapeake Bay feed almost exclusively on clams that they dislodge from the mud. But it can be challenging to enjoy a peaceful meal: often the swan has to fend off a Ring-billed, Herring, or Greater Black-backed gull that swoops in to grab a clam from the swan's bill—a successful tactic in about half of these "kleptoparasitic" encounters.

I have not been very consistant at the blogging thing since I returned from my trip. Most of the issues that got me started have slowed, but there are still big questions about the directions of higher ed in our state.
Here is a profile of the increasing number of college students in the US. The percentage of students at 4-year schools continue to grow, though the percentage at public schools declined slightly. I suppose this is what the legislature envisions--if they keep cutting funds for us and raising tuition, we will all be transformed into private schools.

COOS COUNTY — The last time Frank Jay Pettingill was seen, he was promising his wife he would to return home with a TV guide.
He was headed to Curtis Mathes, an appliance store that used to sit where the Prefontaine mural now stands in Coos Bay.
It's unclear if he ever made it there.
That was on Saturday, Sept. 2, 1991, on Labor Day.
Mushroom pickers found his body on Blue Ridge in Coos Bay the next morning. They led a a Coos County Sheriff's deputy there, who walked as close as he could to the body, looked around and could tell there had been homicidal violence.
Detective Dan Looney, now the criminal division captain for the Sheriff's Department, arrived at the scene and activated the Major Crime Team. At the time, the team was still young, having come together after the murder and continued cold case of Jeremy Bright four years prior.
"We had members from Coos Bay Police, North Bend, Myrtle Point, Coquille, the (sheriff's) department, State Police, all responded and began an investigation," said Capt. Kelley Andrews with the Sheriff's Office.
Even Andrews was on the case as a reserve deputy. He vividly remembered seeing detectives from the Coos Bay Police Department in on a holiday "which never happened unless something bad was going on."
To make it worse, Pettingill's murder was one in a string of murders seen around the county that year. There had been a homicide in July where a woman was shot over a reported drug deal in Barview, a homicide in August where a man was stabbed in the Bellvey Tavern, which is now O'Brady's in Empire, and then Pettingill's homicide in September which would be followed by another murder in October when a woman was shot by her son while she was making cookies. Then in December, a Hispanic male was stabbed to death behind the Red Lion, also in Coos Bay.
"It was a very active year for us," Andrews told The World while he looked through three binders containing Pettingill's cold case. "This is the only one that remains unsolved from that year."
Labor Day Weekend
According to Andrews, Pettingill lived in the county. Between where he lived with his wife and the convenience store in Coos Bay, there was no reason he would have to drive near Blue Ridge. In fact, Blue Ridge was nearly 20 minutes out of his way.
Andrews said they have no idea why he was there, but they also don't believe it was a dumping site. Rather, they think he was killed there and left on the side of the road.
"On Sunday, when his body was found and the investigation began, his wife was calling him in as a missing person," Andrews said. "It was almost simultaneous that afternoon."
On Monday, Sep. 3, his 1974 Chevy GMC was found at Bastendorf Beach mired down in the sand.
Witness interviews led authorities to a woman seen at the truck and pulling items out of it. She is still considered a person of interest, though has never been identified.
"That weekend was busy," Andrews said. "We had this unknown female and started asking around about her when we learned she was later seen in Coos Bay talking with guys from two motorcycle clubs."
In 1991, Coos Bay was home to the international headquarters of the Gypsy Jokers. The motorcycle "club" is known throughout the United States, Europe and Australia.
"During that weekend, they call it their Coos Bay Labor Day Run and were going to a few locations," Andrews said. "With them was the Outsider Club. They were all over town, which wasn't unusual then. We would see motorcycle clubs all over town back in those days."
The main suspect in Pettingill's murder, the unidentified woman, was spotted by witnesses asking where she could find members of these clubs.
"Because of that, we thought there was a connection," Andrews said. "We went through extensive investigations and sent detectives to other clubs in the state and even into Washington, but we couldn't make a connection with them to this homicide."
One of the interesting aspects of the case was when authorities questioned members from the Gypsy Jokers and Outsiders about the woman.
"Whether they are being tight-lipped, we don't know," Andrews said. "Women can't be members in those clubs, but are more like property, so if she wasn't a 'member' then I'm not sure why they wouldn't give her up. She may have just been trying to connect with them for a dream of hers and they may not be connected at all."
The mystery woman was also seen using a pay phone at the Blue Moon, where a lot of the motorcycle club members were hanging out.
"We had a lot of personnel on the ground with this homicide," Andrews explained. "Back then we had a crime lab with the Oregon State Police here, which was shut down in 2003. Personally I sat on the crime scene as a reserve all night long. Our sheriff now was a detective sergeant at the time, so this case has been one that I know we really look back on and wish we could have solved.
"Not that there is no hope. We are pursuing leads, but most leads have petered out."
Female DNA
At the crime scene, DNA belonging to an unidentified female was found.
"We have made efforts through science that may help us in the future," Andrews said. "Some evidence was left at the scene, so there is DNA being run through the system every month."
Because that DNA hasn't had a hit after nearly 20 years, some of the investigators believe the woman is either dead or is on the straight and narrow and staying out of trouble.
Andrews pointed out that Pettingill's wife was quickly ruled out as a suspect. As for whether or not Pettingill was having an affair, that's unknown.
"Even though leads are minimal, we are keeping some things back, including how he was killed," Andrews said.
With cold cases, information often surfaces decades later when relationships change. Through giving this interview with The World, Andrews hopes someone who knows something about this case is now free to speak.
"She may have had a boyfriend she told stuff to and ended the relationship," he said. "We find people who come forward who know suspects and are no longer friends and they come to us, saying they heard a story from them. That's often how we solve cases like these."
From witness accounts over that Labor Day weekend, a sketch artist created a rendering of what she looked like. The Sheriff's Department is releasing that composite sketch again with hopes that someone recognizes her.
"This is what she would have looked like in 1991," Andrews said. "No one has ever been able to identify her. If she is still alive, she would be in her 50s."
For Andrews and others still in the department, they are attached to the Pettingill homicide.
"We worked on it and we continue to get tips on this, though it's been a few years since our last tip, but I think it's solvable," he said. "The key is going to be finding her."

Last month, the Santa Monica lawyer and nonprofit director contributed $300,000 of his own money to his effort to succeed longtime west county Supervisor
Speaking last week at a debate at Temple Israel in Hollywood, Shriver said he'd be willing to put even more of his money into the campaign, if necessary. "If I felt I had to tell my story, sure,'' he said in response to a question. "Particularly if I felt I got attacked on an unfair basis."
Spending limits have become one of the clearer points of separation for the top three candidates in the race. Shriver has called the county's current campaign finance laws outdated and probably unconstitutional. But his most prominent rivals, former state lawmaker Sheila Kuehl and West Hollywood Councilman John Duran, also lawyers, have said the county's campaign spending laws are working and the voluntary cap on expenditures is sufficient to mount a credible campaign.
Under existing rules, candidates who abide by a $1.4-million spending limit can collect individual donations of up to $1,500.
But if a candidate rejects the voluntary spending cap and makes large personal contributions — as Shriver did in early March — he or she is restricted to maximum donations of $300. At that point, all other candidates in the race can begin raising individual donations in unlimited amounts. Shriver says that unfairly punishes those who self-fund bids for public office.
Shriver's criticism of the campaign law comes as a package of 1996 reforms is facing its first real test. After decades of little movement on the
New leadership could usher in changes on a number of policy fronts in the county, including how political spending is regulated.
Experts in campaign finance law say portions of the county's law may be vulnerable to legal attack because of recent
"There could be a legitimate case made against'' the county rules, said Robert Stern, former president of the Center for Governmental Studies, which analyzes campaign finance laws. "But as long as no one challenges it, it remains law.
Some analysts say Shriver could run the risk of alienating voters who supported the county campaign reforms, coauthored by Yaroslavsky and former Supervisor Yvonne Burke. But Shriver's political consultant, Bill Carrick, said his candidate has received sympathetic reactions when voters hear he was limited to $300 per donor.
Shriver favors regulations on campaign fundraising, Carrick said, but wants more "realistic" rules that account for the cost of buying TV ads, radio spots and mailers. Shriver says he will seek guidance from a panel of experts before introducing election law changes.
In 2008, Carrick said, Supervisor
Kuehl said the current county law is appropriate and takes a carrot-and-stick-approach, encouraging spending limits but not requiring them. She questioned how that could be illegal. "The county offers each candidate a choice," Kuehl said. "Mr. Shriver has chosen not to limit his spending and therefore he can't complain that the county forced him to accept lower contributions."
The most recent campaign finance statements show that as of mid-March, Shriver led in fundraising, partly as a result of his six-figure personal donation. In all, Shriver reported collecting $848,000. Kuehl collected $717,000, including donations of $20,000 from William Resnick, a retired Los Angeles psychiatrist, and $75,000 from the California Nurses Assn. after the limits were lifted as a result of Shriver's action. Duran reported collecting $187,000.
Duran said his greater concern with county campaign expenditures was being able to track contributions in a timely manner. Candidates aren't required to file finance statements electronically, which delays posting of information on the county's website by days and sometimes weeks.
Tracking activity by independent committees that can spend unlimited amounts trying to influence elections is even tougher, he said. By contrast, he said, the city of Los Angeles' Ethics Commission operates a campaign finance website that is frequently updated and relatively easy to use.
"The county's systems are antiquated,'' he said at a recent debate in Hollywood. "They are ineffective."
Yaroslavsky, for one, thinks the law he helped write still works. It was intended to level the playing field for candidates who can't write themselves a big check, he said. Shriver, the supervisor said, "still has a distinct advantage over the other candidates."
"I understand his frustration," Yaroslavsky said. "But the rest of the candidates don't have the options he has."

Are you ready to awaken the dream and follow the Dream Giver by taking that step of faith and fulfilling your destiny?
If so, then join us on a seven week journey as we delve into Bruce Wilkinson's book "The Dream Giver".
"Daniel's Prayer" by Anne Graham Lotz
The Daniel Prayer is born deep within your soul, erupts through your heart, and pours out on your lips, words created by and infused with the Spirit of God quivering with spiritual electricity. It's really not an everyday type of prayer. It's a prayer birthed under pressure. Heartache. Grief. Desperation. It can be triggered by a sudden revelation of hope. An answer to prayer, a promise freshly received, a miracle that lies just over the horizon.
Join Anne in a thrilling discovery of prayer that really works.
This book will help you pray effectively for your nation, for your families, and for yourself.
"My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,
but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not
rest on men's wisdom but on God's power."
