The European Commission has 25 working days after a deal is filed for a first-stage review. It may extend that by 10 working days to 35 working days, to consider either a company's proposed remedies or an EU member state's request to handle the case.
Most mergers win approval but occasionally the Commission opens a detailed second-stage investigation for up to 90 additional working days, which it may extend to 105 working days.
Under the simplified procedure, the Commission announces the clearance of uncontroversial first-stage mergers without giving any reason for its decision. Cases may be reclassified as non-simplified - that is, ordinary first-stage reviews - until they are approved. (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee)

Financial Aid for Prospective Traditional Undergraduate Students
At George Fox, we know an important factor in choosing a school can be cost. That is why we strive to make school as affordable as possible. Virtually every George Fox student who can demonstrate financial need is awarded funds to assist in meeting the cost of attendance.
When students explore what it will cost to attend George Fox, there is a real difference between the total cost of their education (tuition, living expenses, books, fees, etc.) and the amount they're expected to pay. Financial aid is meant to reduce the gap between the two.
There are many steps involved in the financial aid process. Although not every step is required for all students, it is important to complete those required for your situation. To make sure you stay on top of the process, here are some important steps to follow.
- Complete the FAFSA
- The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available Oct. 1 for the following academic year. You must submit the FAFSA annually in order to apply for federal, state, and some institutional financial aid.
- Our Title IV Federal School Code is 003194.
- Become Fully Admitted
- The university will not receive your FAFSA information or be able to process your award package until after you have been fully admitted. Contact the admissions office for help completing this.
- Review your Award Letter
- Award letters are generally mailed out to prospective students beginning in December.
- Accept/Decline Your Awards
- Once you've reviewed your award package, you will need to accept or decline your workstudy and/or loans if you decide to take them. This can be done through your MyGeorgeFox account on the "Accept/Decline Awards" screen.
- Check Your To-Do List
- The financial aid office will inform you of what forms and documents are required from you via your To-Do List on MyGeorgeFox. Items are continuously added throughout the summer, so make sure to check your To-Do List frequently.
- Complete Verification (if selected)
- If you are selected, you will be required to provide specific verification documents. Your award is estimated until verification is complete. Check your To-Do list or contact your financial aid counselor for details.
- Report External Scholarships
- It is important to report any outside scholarships you have been awarded through your MyGeorgeFox under "Report Other Financial Aid."
- Apply for Alternative Loans or Parent Plus Loans (if necessary)
- If you aren't able to cover your balance out of pocket, often it is necessary to take out an alternative loan or a Parent Plus to help cover the gap. It is important to start the process early. Private loans can take several weeks to get processed. You must apply annually to qualify. See Loans for more information.
Continuation of financial aid requires that the student maintains a good academic standing and maintains satisfactory academic progress. Click here for more information concerning satisfactory academic progress.

A good friend of mine is a Star Trek fan*. I put an asterisk there because  he is completely in love SPECIFICALLY with Star Trek: The Next Generation. In fact, I posted the following video on Tumblr Trends (see video below) and he responded with the following:
"At least he likes Capt. Picard…. I'm tired of all the Kirk-fanatics out there! Picard is the better captain, get over it!"
HAH! That made my day.
Here's the video that sparked the outrage:
And that brings us to the newest shirt from our friends from Seattle, Might Tees! They've deviated a little from their Apple/Tech related tees, and instead venture into the outer galaxies of geekdom. The T-Shirt is called Make It So and it features my friends ALL TIME FAVORITE Star Trek captain, Jean-Luc Picard.
I asked my friend if he'd allow Captain Picard to penetrate him, you know, in a jail bait rape kind of way. He's response: "lol." He never gave me an affirmative no. Star Trek fans are hard core.
Make It So is available now from Might Tees for $31.99.

This question already has an answer here:
- The various ways of saying "all" 2 answers
Title basically says it all. I think meanings are very close. Are they interchangeable? Are they appropriate for different contexts or situations? Can one be applied to animate objects and other can't? So far I can't figure out when to use one over the other. Thank you.

No worries - split offer withdrawn.
All such splits must be posted here as opposed to in the Fragrance DIY board. All marketplace and the more specific split board requirements must be met to do so. All current DIY split threads in that board must be moved here if the splitter meets the requirements. If not, the split in the DIY board must be removed or taken private.
No worries - split offer withdrawn.
Last edited by mumsy; 31st January 2013 at 09:44 AM.
mumsy- I appreciate your enthusiasm but the split rules state that the item must be purchased after the split is arranged.
I backed out of a deal awhile back and I had every right to because my gut check told me to do so, period. It turned out that I had too much doubt and probably would have been safe in continuing with the buy...but that was MY choice.
No one should be "excommunicated" for making decisions that they feel are correct.
Stuff happens and that's that. I suggest the main purchasers don't buy anything that they can't afford to hold onto for at least awhile because "stuff happens".
Murphy's law is alive and well and we as people know this, so why try to think (and demand) that everything go as it should?
On a similar note, I am SURE that most situations would go smoothly. If not then the whole idea would be a failure and I don't see that happening.
But let it play out without the "gestapo" attitudes and you'll see better results.
In closing...I do not suggest that ANYONE who can't foot the bill or sustain unsold merchandise for a time, go about taking on these transactions. You're setting yourself up for the inevitable failure that will happen. Not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
If you're taking your rent money to make these deals, then you're playing with fire. If you wouldn't normally gamble, don't start now.
Actually anyone who has backed out of a deal that they already committed to should be "excommunicated" in my view. PLEASE always leave feedback on such people so that the rest of us know.
You have every right to have gut-level concerns about what's a good transaction or not, and the time to make that call is BEFORE you make a commitment to a split. I have never spent my rent money on splits that I hosted, but I have had people back out at the last second which leaves me holding the bag--and with really no recourse since a person can't turn around and sell a decant on here.
I have never spent my "rent money" on hosting a split, but I have been stuck holding the bag plenty of times and it undermines the entire system when you do that.
You're making a blanket statement without regarding the fact that things can change AFTER the fact. Circumstances change and SOMTIMES, the people who initiated the deal can do things to cause this change...which would justify the change.
It's obvious that you are a disgruntled splitter because of past circumstances but your statement, "I have been stuck holding the bag plenty of times" gets me to scratching my head, asking myself, "why would this person want to go for round 2 and 3 and 4, etc?" Perhaps you need to come up with a better plan in regards to who is allowed to enter into your split.
Your situation reminds me of the parents who tell their children "I've told you a hundred times not to do that". End result being that the PARENTS are really to blame for the communication.
I'd be willing to bear the burden of some splits and understand that things happen.
Exactly correct. I didn't used to be careful enough about people I let into my splits. Now I know better not to let people like you in, and things go pretty well.
I wasn't trying to be a wiseguy when replying to you but your first AND second post to me were a bit abusive and abrasive and personal.
I don't have any intentions of ever backing out of deals but of course I could never state that there would be no time that I would. I will state that if there is a time when I'd back out is if the original deal changed after I said that I was in...and that was what caused me to back out. Turns out that I should have stayed in but I didn't and apologized. And quite frankly, if someone approached me and told me that my backing out would cause the demise of the deal..or that it would hurt others, then by all means I'd attempt to remedy the situation.
So i would like to buy some aroma chemical. Anyone wants to share?

What's up with Ecuador?
QUITO, ECUADOR — President Rafael Correa is on a tear this week — thumbing his nose at the United States over Edward Snowden, suggesting he might harbor the international fugitive here in this tiny Latin American country even if it means abandoning trade agreements worth millions to the local economy.
But why?
Story Continued Below
Correa's agitating has catapulted him into the leading anti-U.S. voice in the region, making him heir to another populist Latin American leader famous for ticking off American presidents with leftist rhetoric for 14 years — Hugo Chávez.
( PHOTOS: Pols react to Snowden on the run)
But while Chávez had vast Venezuelan oil fields to force the First World to pay attention, Correa doesn't. So he's latched onto the cases of big-name leakers, like Snowden and Julian Assange — who's holed up in Ecuador's embassy in London — to muscle his way into headlines around the globe in an effort to raise his international profile.
Plus, helping out Snowden — which Correa says reminds the world Ecuador is a bastion of human rights — could even give his image at home a boost since he recently signed a law cracking down on the country's media.
The irony isn't lost on the press here.
"I think that what the government is trying to do is to sell to the outside an image of defending liberties when inside, there is a new law that restricts or gags the press or the people," said Vicente Ordoñez, president of the Ecuadorian National Union of Journalists.
Ramiro Crespo, a Quito-based economic and political analyst and head of Analytica Securities investment bank, said considering granting Snowden asylum is a way for Correa to score political points.
( Also on POLITICO: Ecuadorian business community frets over Edward Snowden arrival)
"Basically, I think he feels that by doing this type of things, he gets the benefits of people backing him, so he gets little local brownie points for doing these type of things," Crespo said.
Correa's anti-U.S. bluster isn't new, but the highly publicized events surrounding Snowden give him a new platform to challenge U.S. sway in the region and boost his profile.
"Part of this is an international attention grab" Dan Restrepo, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama on Latin America said, adding that Correa is one of the first leaders in Latin America to anticipate a world without Chávez.
( WATCH: Politicians sound off on Snowden)
"He has tried over the last 18 months or so to occupy some of the rhetorical space that Chávez had occupied before."
Rhetoric from the Ecuadorian president has been running high in recent days.
"Ecuador doesn't accept pressure or threats from anyone, and it doesn't sell its principles or sovereignty," Correa said to a crowd of supporters last Thursday at the inauguration of a hydropower facility in central Ecuador.
His government earlier that day had renounced a pending trade deal that had eased import taxes U.S.-bound products. "Facing threats, insolence and arrogance of certain U.S. sectors that have pressured to remove the preferential tariffs due to the Snowden case, Ecuador informs the world that we unilaterally and irrevocably renounce the preferential tariffs. Our dignity does not have a price," he said at the event.

What is FarkIt™?
FarkIt™ is an easy way to get news articles on your site linked to Fark.
Unlike purely social news sites, Fark is an edited social news site. Not everything submitted has a chance to reach the main page of Fark. This improves the quality of the links that appear on Fark and goes a long way to preventing spam as well. In short: social bookmarking sites are socialist democracies, Fark is a benevolent dictatorship.
Since Fark reserves final say as to what appears on the main page, FarkIt™ will allow us to balance our main page postings with what readers tell us they want to see on the main page. This way we don't overlook any truly interesting submissions.
What is Fark This?
Fark This is simply another way to refer to FarkIt™.
We provide a few lines of code for you to plug into your pages in order to display a button on your site. This button can be labeled either FarkIt™ or Fark This, or can be one of our 'F' icons shown below. (Note: for simplicity's sake, we will be referring to this button as the "FarkIt™ button" henceforth.)
Links submitted via FarkIt™ will queue up in a new database set apart from our regular submission database. Internal processes on the administrator side of Fark will notify us when we receive a huge burst of FarkIt™ submissions. We will then inspect the submission to see if it passes muster for what we think should appear on Fark's main page.
Please note: Websites displaying the FarkIt™ button prominently will be given Fark listing preference over those that do not
This is our way of saying "Thank You" to websites that appreciate Fark traffic enough to display the FarkIt™ Button. This means that if we receive a large number of FarkIt™ submissions for a link that is already on the main page, we may replace the target URL with the FarkIt™ URL. User-submitted taglines will remain unchanged, and the original submitter of the link will retain submission credit for the link. Only the URL will change.
For example, assume there is a link to a mid-market newspaper wire-service article on the main page of Fark. This mid-market newspaper does not display the FarkIt™ button. If at any time Fark receives a number of FarkIt™ submissions from another website carrying the same wire-service article, we will switch the target of the link to site displaying the FarkIt™ button.
Again, taglines appearing on Fark will remain unchanged, only the target URL will be affected. The original link submitter will retain greenlight credit. If you don't know what this means don't worry about it. Some Fark submitters care very much about the number of greenlit articles they submit.
Summary: taglines will continue to be selected from Fark's regular queue, URLs for those same articles will be selected by volume of FarkIt™ submissions.
You can place the FarkIt™ button on your page in one of two ways - using our easy-to-install script (which includes a button image), or manually using your own image.
To use the Javascript method
- First, at the top of the page in between the  tags, add this line:
Note: Even if you have multiple stories you'd like a FarkIt button on, only put the above code in your page once.
- Second, add this code at the place in the page where you actually want the button to appear:
If you have multiple stories on a page, just repeat the above for each article.
That's it! Now you have a nice, shiny FarkIt button.
The size must have quotes around it, and the currently supported sizes are:
- 80x20 (the default)
- 82x20
- 100x20
- 120x40
- 129x32
- 16x16
- 29x40
- 32x32
- 88x30
If the URL is the same as the page you're placing the button on (which most of the time is the case), and you're OK with the default size of 80x20, simply leave it off and supply just the headline:
If your headline has any double quotes in it, you should use single quotes (apostrophes) instead of double quotes around the headline.
To use the default URL but specify a custom size:
To use the manual method
The FarkIt™ submission engine will accept your incoming link using the following URL:https://www.fark.com/farkit?u=[the url you want linked]&h=[the headline]
You will replace [the url you want linked] with the actual url of the item, and [the headline] with the text you wish to use as a headline on Fark.com. Note that you do not have to include any values for these parameters - if you leave the url parameter blank, the FarkIt submission engine will attempt to build the link using the referring page's url (the page where the FarkIt button was clicked). If the headline parameter is blank, then the user clicking the button will have to supply their own headline text.
Using this URL, you can create links with either text or button images. To link text, simply wrap the text you'd like to link in an anchor tag, like so: The Text You Want To Be A Hyperlink
To use your own image as a button, wrap the image HTML with the anchor HTML:
If using the manual method, the text or image text must be one of the following options:
- FarkIt
- Fark It
- Fark This

Anti-Obama rumor of the day
"I now have it from... four sources (three who are close to senior Republicans) that there is video dynamite – Michelle Obama railing against 'whitey' at Jeremiah Wright's church."
Johnson continued: "Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research. ... I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time. ... It is their October surprise."
Sounds like bullshit to me. I'm willing to bet that this smear will go the way of the Hillary Clinton lesbianism rumor. That is, nowhere.
Even my favorite Obama-hater, Lawrence Auster, seems to suspect this is worthless hype.
According to Wikipedia, Larry Johnson is a Republican, but has posted at the liberal blog Talking Points Memo to bash right-wingers. Johnson is a Hillary Clinton supporter.
The pro-Clinton blog HillBuzz was all over Johnson's rumor last night, with a post titled: "Michelle Obama Caught On Tape At Trinity United Making Racist Remarks."
The rumor has spread this afternoon among conservative websites such as Townhall.com. ("If this is true, it could be lethal.")
I'm telling you... this is nothing.

A lot of Clinton supporters are hoping that this comes out soon.
I'll believe it when I see it.

Johnson has been know for being "factually challenged" for a while.

- A. Charles said...
So the Clintons couldn't put together some cash, borrow some from Bob and Magic Johnson and Roseanne Barr and buy a copy of this supposed tape from somebody?
Or they have it, and they're waiting until the Hillary campaign really needs it?
On top of that, we're supposed to believe that it found its way past Obama's previous political opponents inside the Democratic Party into Republican hands?
Color me skeptical.
- May 16, 2008 at 2:46 PM
Character assassination is all the Republicans have left. What are they going to run on? The War In Iraq? The booming economy?
Even the Mob lays off the wives. But not the party of "values".
- May 16, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Character assassination is all the Republicans have left.
please. Larry Johnson is not a republican and has been the media darling of the left and champion of Valerie Plame. He proclaimed to have sources about massive indictments coming down that never came to pass and no one on the left called him out on his rumors then, because absent proof they like the way they sounded. Now that he's up to his old tricks in trading in unbelievable rumors trying to pass them off as a republican surprise and has been one of the ugliest Hillary supporters out there, are people questioning him? You lay down with dogs, you get fleas. Democrats own Larry Johnson.

Interesting. I haven't trusted Larry Johnson as a source since he linked to the Executive Intelligence Review. Unlike some people, I can't just ignore something like that. For anyone not familiar with the Executive Intelligence Review - click here and here to find out.
I agree with everyone else who said it, I'll believe it when I see it. I 'll add to that: AND get proof that it isn't doctored.

^ Larry Johnson wrote that REPUBLICAN operatives had this material. His affiliation is irrelevant.
- May 16, 2008 at 5:58 PM
arry Johnson wrote that REPUBLICAN operatives had this material. His affiliation is irrelevant.
He has been discredited so many times it's not possible to count. So what he "wrote" is thinner than a piece of tissue. And if his affiliation is irrelevant than any affiliation sitting on a video should be irrelevant too by that logic.

I'm frankly more worried about the gaffes Obama's made himself (like calling a female reporter "sweetie"). He's starting to slip up and the real heat hasn't even begun yet.

I'm not sure if Larry Johnson was ever a registered Republican (I actually seem to remember that he identified his political affiliation as "independent"), but he also identified himself as "conservative" in several forums in previous years, where he was chiefly known as a cheerleader for his former colleague, Valerie Plame.
I had actually been fairly impressed with Larry, until he seemed to become unhinged, and it was actually before he began his vitriolic attacks on Barack. I get that he's all for Hillary--this is America, and he can support whomever he wants--but I don't get his foaming at the mouth attitude when it comes to Barack.
In any event, if Hillaryland had such a tape of Michelle, they would have used it long before now to knock Barack out once and for all. It would have been a one-two punch with Wright and Michelle.
And assuredly, the rabid right
would have used it, because they (in my humble opinion) would much rather run against their ole pal Hillary.
My final(!)point is why in the world would anyone think that Michelle Obama would go on a rant against "whitey", given her family ties? She's going to rant against her husband's mother and grandparents? She's going to denigrate her husband's family? And Barack would have been just fine with that? The whole thing is an absurd notion in the extreme.
I really need this election to be over, and let's get Barack to January 20th. This nonsense has not been good for my health.

Obama instantly apologized to the reporter for calling her "sweetie" (after the event). It's a bad habit of his (he has done this before) and he acknowledged this to her in the apology.

Well, if there's a video, there's a video. Given that John McCain agreed with O'Reilly on National TV that John McCain and O'Reilly are part of the "White Christan male power structure" and that an effort is being made by "The New York Times" and the "Far Left" (code speak for "The Jews"), any some such Michelle Obama video, if existent should pale in comparison.
John McCain is on record in acknowledging the existence of a power structure of white supremacy and his opposition to tearing it down.
If Michelle Obama is found to be on record to tearing such same structure down, is that a disqualifier for Obama's Presidency or a qualifer?

Have you heard the one about Obama being gay? I stumbled upon this Larry Sinclair fellow's website where he makes the claim that he and Obama had a sexual tryst a few years ago. I was baffled by the amount of support he's received on the site... But word is that this is the poison pill that the republicans are planning to use when the time comes... http://larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com/about/
The madness continues...

^ Hey Tambay. That guy Sinclair is so manifestly insane, I can't imagine him being of any value to the GOP.
But if the Republicans indeed try to use that destroy Obama... it'll be time to riot.

Fisher: Why have you and CNulan been flaying the skin off each other at Denmark Vesey's? Add a white anti-Semite to the mix and it's the most bizarrely triangulated discussion I've ever seen on teh intarnetz.
It's entertaining and all. I just hope it ain't leading up to someone getting shot.

"Fisher: Why have you and CNulan been flaying the skin off each other at Denmark Vesey's?"
Well, I guess Nulan thought that a good counterargument against my position that there exists a gobal syetem of racism/white supremacy would be to allege that I am in pursuit of various dietary habits anywhere from sucking penises to consuming maggots.
Though I do find his continuous homosexual alegories interesting. Didn't he brilliantly counter one of your arguments by alleging you are in possession of an estrogen saturated body or some such?
I must concede, Nulan is an intellect par none.

Point is that he shouldn't be making such stupid errors, especially ones that are patronizing and sexist. Bah.

All I can say is that you are

Guess what?!?!
We are smarter that all of that... and we don't believe every rumor we see or hear.... so get over it...
If, indeed she was railing on 'whitey'... she probably had good reason to do so as her people were treated as less than human...they were denied human rights, they were hung and burned because that is what you do to an insolent uppity (read elitist) black person... You disgust me in your narrow minded view of humanity.... go back under your rock... this is a new America where we value our diversity and we admire humanity in any color....

text: eobet 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2013 I've bought about a dozen different Terracolor glazes, which are supposed to have "built in effects", looking very much like Raku... Two of the more solid color glazes look and work as they do on their product images, and one of the effect glazes also works beautifully and looks exactly like their product image. However, all others I've tried are complete disasters compared to the product images, and I've tried to vary water content, bisque firing temps, application thickness, firing temps... the lot! I don't want general tips, because even Terracolor themselves can't give me good pointers as to what I'm doing wrong. My question is this: Has anyone here used Terracolor, and what are your experiences? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Columbus Crew 0, FC Dallas 0 | MLS Match Recap
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Columbus Crew and FC Dallas played to a scoreless draw Sunday thanks to two goal line saves and a collection of missed opportunities in a match that was postponed for 18 hours.
Originally scheduled for Saturday night, officials rescheduled the match after a fan was injured in a lightning storm during a weather delay.
The result was the third consecutive draw for the Crew (4-5-7), leaving them in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 19 points from 16 games. Dallas (6-7-5) earned their second straight tie to remain in fourth place in the West with 23 points from 18 games.
For a variety of reasons, neither team was able to field their first-choice lineup on the afternoon.
The Crew were still missing Costa Ricans Giancarlo Gonzalez and Waylon Francis in Brazil and had to deal with injuries to Federico Higuain – who entered as a substitute in the second half – Josh Williams and Ethan Finlay.
Meanwhile, FC Dallas had a trio of players suspended in Moises Hernandez, Blas Perez and Fabian Castillo.
A hot and humid day seemed to deter both teams from venturing too far from their comfort zone. The first half was a familiar one for the Crew, as they were given the freedom to pass the ball around in the back while Dallas sat in defense.
The best chance of the first half came for Dallas in the 13th minute, when a corner kick bounced in the box and fell perfectly to Michel. The midfielder hit a firm shot at an open net, but Michael Parkhurst was in the perfect position for the Crew and chested the ball off the line to preserve the 0-0 score.
Dallas again should have led after a redoubled effort to start the second half. In the 52nd minute, forward Andres Escobar gathered the ball near midfield and dribbled past three Crew defenders before sliding a ball across the Columbus box. Tesho Akindele had a wide open net for a first-time shot, but the forward somehow scuffed his shot into the post.
It was déjà vu six minutes later for Akindele, when Je-Vaughn Watson's cross found his foot. But once more the Canadian missed his shot, this time high over the crossbar.
Both teams seemed to succumb to the heat for much of the second half, until the game opened up with 10 minutes remaining.
In the 83rd minute, Dallas substitute David Texeira headed down a cross that seemed destined for goal. But a lunging Steve Clark pinned the ball on the line for the Crew's second goal line save of the day.
At the other end, Jairo Arrieta found himself with a golden opportunity for a goal of his own, but the Crew forward missed his shot into the side netting, giving fans only a false sense of joy for what seemed like a sure goal as the match finished in a 0-0 draw.
Dallas are back in action at home against the Philadelphia Union on the Fourth of July, while Columbus play at the Colorado Rapids on the same night.

Bridgeport cut out of regional merger
BRIDGEPORT -- Who knew municipal governance was like high school?
Southwestern Connecticut towns and Danbury and its neighbors have formed a big club, and Bridgeport is the kid they don't want to pal around with.
That's what some believe is essentially going on behind the scenes as state officials try to encourage more regional cooperation among a number of cities and towns around Connecticut.
And it angers longtime Bridgeport boosters who say the situation reveals an unfair and outdated bias toward the state's largest city, with all of its potential and its challenges.
"It's embarrassing thinking and absolutely outrageous," said Joseph McGee, vice president of public policy and programs for the Business Council of Fairfield County and an ex-executive with Bridgeport-based People's United Bank. "The economic vitality of Fairfield County depends on healthy communities. We cannot have Bridgeport isolated ... if this county is to grow."
The controversy stems from a state-led effort to better consolidate the 13, 1950s-era groupings of cities and towns that for the past decades have collaborated on economic, environmental, safety and other issues facing their regions.
Connecticut has 169 individual municipalities and no county governments.
"They provide a forum for communities to come up with ways to solve regional problems or provide services " that might be too expensive if every community has to do it on its own," said Gian-Carl Casa, with the state's Office of Policy and Management.
So last year, backed by the Legislature, OPM began encouraging those existing 13 planning organizations to merge, mirroring larger states than Connecticut which have at best a handful of such groups dotting the landscape.
"Look, Connecticut has a history of local government, local control and we're a land of steady habits," Casa said. "People need to get used to the idea of working with one another."
To OPM and many other observers, there was a natural pairing in combining the existing Greater Bridgeport Regional Council (Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford, Trumbull) with the Southwestern Regional Planning Agency (Stamford, Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, Greenwich, Weston, Westport and Wilton).
Those cities and towns have much in common -- economic development, transportation infrastructure, emergency management and the coastline.
Instead, the southwestern club banded together with Danbury and its nine neighbors in the Housatonic Valley, and left Bridgeport on its own.
"What I think is wrong is that all three are not merging," said Trumbull First Selectman Tim Herbst, a Republican, who in December was elected chairman of the Greater Bridgeport Regional Council and is eyeing a run for state treasurer.
"We can continue developing Stamford, as we should, but Bridgeport from an infrastructure standpoint has tremendous potential with its harbor and (the) Steel Point (waterfront redevelopment site)," Herbst said. "The better Bridgeport does, the better Fairfield County does and the region does."
Why the Bridgeport snub? Critics say it's for all the wrong reasons.
"It has to do with parochialism, politics and the ability of people to come to grips with reality," said Paul Timpanelli, who heads Bridgeport's business council. "To continue to get hung up on our municipal borders the way we do is one reason our economy in Connecticut lags behind."
Herbst said in conversations he has had with elected leaders in the southwestern towns they have made one thing very clear: "They don't want to affiliate or associate with the City of Bridgeport."
Some of that, Herbst said, has to do with money. The smaller towns fear that any dollars that come to the larger regional planning group will get sucked up by the Park City and its urban needs.
"I reject that notion. If you look at the make-up of each municipality ... there will be far more Republicans on the board than Democrats," Herbst said.
But, Herbst added, there is also a continued suspicion about Bridgeport and its Democratic politics.
"It has been inferred to me on multiple occasions there's a concern with the overall political culture in Bridgeport," Herbst said.
It's not uncommon for Herbst to take a swing at Bridgeport Democrats. He and Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch have a prickly relationship, sometimes working together, sometimes at loggerheads.
Finch fought against Herbst being elected chairman of the Bridgeport council, claiming it would further impede efforts to merge with the southwestern towns.
"Mayor Finch explained that during the difficult time facing the council and the preference to merge with the southwest region, he would prefer a chair from a coastal municipality with rail service and interstate highway access," read the draft meeting minutes from December. "Mayor Finch commented that Trumbull is not a coastal municipality and does not have rail access."
Gayle Weinstein, Weston's Democratic first selectman, said practical reasons are behind the southwestern region's hesitation about bringing Bridgeport and its neighbors into the fold.
Though she has an "outstanding relationship" with Finch, Weinstein said joining the eight southwestern partners with the 10 from the Danbury area will be challenging enough.
"We'll have 18 people sitting around a table, which is a lot," she said. "And several of the chief elected officials from a corporate background have said merging two organization together efficiently is difficult."
Weinstein said there is also some suspicion that state officials want to use these mergers to implement regional taxes that will be funneled to the big cities.
"The Republicans in our region have a real concern ... dollars from the small municipalities and wealthier suburbs go to fund cities like Bridgeport, and they look at the needs of Bridgeport being so great that that's a problem," she said.
While OPM continues to urge the southwestern group to take in Bridgeport, none of the parties involved expect that to happen any time soon.
"I'm not saying the idea of Bridgeport ever joining is completely dead," Weinstein said. "What we said to OPM is let us work on getting this merger solidified first."
David Kooris understands regional issues in Connecticut as Bridgeport's chief of economic development and a Stamford resident and member of that city's legislative body.
Kooris said he takes southwestern municipalities at their word their decision not to merge with Bridgeport and its neighbors is mainly over the logistics of getting so many elected officials together at meetings.
"I think it says less about peoples' perception of Bridgeport than that most people still spend the majority of their day and week in one municipality," Kooris said.
And, he added, there remain plenty of opportunities for other partnerships between the coastal cities of Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stamford and New Haven.
Still, McGee laments the situation.
"They've really missed an enormous opportunity to move the state forward," he said.

Not sure what makes you think I would be annoyed by this.
Just teasing, my friend. ;-)(I have had some Pascalians scandalised by some of my coding habits over the years. You are obviously familiar with Pascal -- I thought perhaps you might be just a little bit miffed at my complete lack of respect for unnecessary braces!)
Yes I have done pascal; fortran; (visual) basic (for application); c ; c++; perl script ; bash ; shell; java; and others.I have seen to much code (and have become to old) to get hung up on the formatting style. My advice: take the formatting style you like and let the formatter do the translation.There is 1 exception to this rule though. That is when you start being a team member and having version control. But I won't go into that though.Nor will I let myself be dragged in a naming convention war (which is way out f topic).Best regardsJantje
Re the help. Can you have a hot key (F2?) to bring up the help for a function? Either based on where the mouse/cursor is or maybe you have to highlight the function. Word boundaries. Currently the IDE uses inappropriate characters as word boundaries, for exampleint in_Byte = Serial1.read();If I double click on in_Byte because I want to copy it I only get "in" or "Byte", depending on where I click. In a programming language this should be considered a single word.So either allow the setup of word boundary chars or just exclude some common ones like _.This also applies to ^arrowing, if I ^ left arrow I want the cursor to skip the entire in_Byte, currently it's 3 key strokes to get over the var name.______Rob
Current ide select whole var when I double click vars with "aaa_aaa" :O and CTRL+Shift+F opens the reference
* I really hate the current way you choose serial ports. Is there any way to know what device is connected to a serial port? Can't we detect if the arduino is an Uno vs Leo vs Decimila instead of having to ask the user? I also hate having to use the /dev/usb blah blah names.

The deal, which is worth R630 million ($402 million), is for 63 wind turbines. The projects are Mundaú (30 MW), Fleixeiras I (30 MW), Trairi (25.4 MW) and Guajirú (30 MW), all in Trairi, and Porto Barcas (30 MW) in Parnaíba.
The turbines are set to be installed at the end of 2012.
Siemens received its first Brazilian order at the start of the year — a 78MW order from Empresa de Investmento Energias Renováveis.
At the time Siemens said it was anticipating further orders and is evaluating options to increase its activity in the country with the possibility of building manufacturing facilities.

Let it out. According to new German research, keeping your fear, anger, or anxiety to yourself can boost your risk for high blood pressure, known to be a serious risk factor for cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
A meta-analysis in Health Psychologies looked at 22 studies of more than 6,000 patients and found that when exposed to a stressful task, "repressors"--people who bottle up their emotions instead of expressing them--have a higher heart rate and pulse ratio than non-repressors. And even though they pretend to not be anxious at all, they actually show more signs of stress and anxiety, like sweating and an increase in the stress hormone cortisol, says study author Marcus Mund, Ph.D., a professor at Friedrich Schiller University Jena in Germany.
How come? One theory is that if you chronically repress negative thoughts, a part of your nervous system--the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which controls your reactions to stress--becomes hyperactive, releasing cortisol and increasing blood pressure, Mund says.
So what do you do if you always feel the tendency to keep everything bottled up when your blood's boiling? Start small: Researchers at Aichi University in Japan found that walking once a day can slash anger and decrease diastolic blood pressure by 4 points in just 4 weeks.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
A video workshop on engaging in literature for grade 6-12 literature and language arts teachers; 8 one-hour video programs, workshop guide, and Web site; graduate credit available
This series was discontinued on June 25, 2019.
Workshop 1. Responding As Readers
In this session, the audience meets the readers in this workshop — including Dr. Langer — and their varied literary backgrounds. Dr. Langer introduces the major concepts of her work in understanding the processes through which effective readers interact with literary texts. Go to this unit.
Workshop 2. Envisioning
Dr. Langer explains the four vantage points that effective readers take as they build "envisionments," and the research process through which she identified them. She explains how each vantage point, or "stance" being outside and stepping into an envisionment, being in and moving through an envisionment, stepping out and rethinking what one knows, and stepping out and objectifying the experience contributes to an evolving and expansive understanding of the text. The stances are demonstrated as the readers discuss Gary Soto's poem "Oranges." Go to this unit.
Workshop 3. Stepping In
In a discussion of James Dickey's "The Lifeguard" and Frank O'Connor's "First Confession," the group talks about their impressions, intuitions, and hunches that help them gather information as they first enter a text. They also talk through sticking points when the information they encounter in the text fragments their envisionments, and demonstrate how they work collectively to rebuild them. Throughout, Dr. Langer clarifies and explains content and suggests ways to apply techniques in the classroom. Go to this unit.
Workshop 4. Moving Through
In this session, the community of readers shows how they create an envisionment as they are in and moving through a text, a time of great personal involvement in the action and character motivation. The group works with two texts, Cathy Song's poem "Lost Sister" and Stephen Dixon's short story "All Gone," building on their initial impressions to examine motives, feelings, causes, interrelationships, and interactions as they create a more complete envisionment of these texts. At this point in their reading, the community steps inside each text virtually, living through it as it unfolds. Go to this unit.
Workshop 5. Rethinking
The group demonstrates another important vantage point that competent readers adopt: that of stepping outside the text and using what they find there to rethink what they know. As they discuss Shakespeare's Hamlet, they plumb the familial relationships included in the text to find points of congruence between the text and their own lives, and lessons they can take away from this examination. Dr. Langer stresses that, while not all texts speak explicitly to readers in this way, seeking the places where one's life intersects with the lessons of literature is important for all readers. Go to this unit.
Workshop 6. Objectifying the Text
This session showcases the reader as critic, as the readers step out of the text to reflect on what it all means, how it works, and why. From this stance, the readers look at Alice Walker's "Revolutionary Petunias" and Langston Hughes's "Theme for English B" to examine the authors' craft, the structure of the text and its various literary elements, and the choice of language. Dr. Langer reminds readers of the importance of personal evaluation of the text and encourages teachers of readers to include the techniques explored here in their classrooms. Go to this unit.
Workshop 7. The Stances in Action
This session shows how readers move into and out of each of the stances as they build their envisionments. This program serves as a model of effective reading habits for the viewer, focusing on two extended discussions as the onscreen readers individually and collectively enter and become immersed in their reading, and step back and reflect on its lessons. Viewers will learn to discern the various stances used and how they can influence work with students. Go to this unit.
Workshop 8. Returning to the Classroom
In the concluding session, the readers in this community talk about the ways in which these processes can affect the language arts classroom, sharing their success stories. The audience is also given the opportunity to eavesdrop on classrooms throughout the country to see how teachers can encourage their students to become active and involved readers, creating rich and complex envisionments as they interact with literature. Go to this unit.

I am back from my holidays ladies! You didn't notice? Hmph!
Anyway I am tanned but this was not a good experience – full update later but I got heatstroke and my skin is peeling and flaking off, and that crazy itching is unbearable! It is over for me and sunbathing – forever!
I have also picked up a stomach bug, who I have called Terence, and am waiting for him to disappear!
How do you haul make up from a random beach holiday location anyway? Easy! When you're a mad shopper like me! I'll show you my random holiday and duty free hauls later.
Also I am trying out the Dukan Diet – I have skimmed the book and am starting today and will report back on Sunday as the first "attack" phase is just 5 days and you are supposed to lose a decent amount of weight.
Basically it's proteins only but you can eat whenever you are hungry. I'll update fully on Sunday (if it works that is!).
What else? I am rested, in a positive mind frame and ready for whatever happens next!
Hope you are all having a wonderful week….

Despite Donald Trump's election victory, his campaign committee continues to seek money from supporters, calling into question the amount of debt the campaign racked up in the final days of the race, NBC News reported.
An email to supporters with the subject line "Thank You," has a bright red "Contribute" button at the bottom of the email.
Campaign finance law says a candidate can continue to raise money after Election Day to pay off any debts or to raise money for re-election.
Debt is a possibility. At the end of the last fundraising report on Oct. 20, Trump had an uninspiring $16 million cash on hand and was also $2 million in debt.

Grassland restoration projects, educational efforts garner national attention.
PRATT, KS ––(Ammoland.com)- The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) — the organization that represents North America's fish and wildlife agencies — has honored the Alexander Ranch of Barber County with the 2011 National Private Lands Fish and Wildlife Stewardship Award.
The award recognizes an individual- or family-run farm, ranch, or forest operation that has incorporated proactive conservation and environmental protection measures into its operation. The Alexander Ranch is owned and operated by Ted, Brian, and Mona Alexander.
The Alexander Ranch became eligible for the national award by winning the 2011 Kansas Wildlife Habitat Conservation Award. The national award program receives one nomination from each of the 56 states and territories represented by AFWA.
"The Alexanders' decades of dedication to the improvement of native grasslands in an area once over-grazed and degraded by the encroachment of eastern redcedar deserves statewide recognition," said Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) wildlife biologist Chris Berens, who nominated the Alexander Ranch for the award. "Their management efforts created a diverse grassland that benefits livestock and a wide variety of wildlife species."
The ranch covers more than 7,000 acres and has flourished as a custom grazing operation for the past 27 years. Partnering with several agencies, the Alexanders have leveraged resources to optimize the land's environmental capabilities. Through these partnerships, the ranch operated on a rotational grazing system with three grazing cells, each split into many smaller paddocks, allowing 40-45 days post-grazing recovery time for the grass in each paddock. However, in the past two years, the Alexander Ranch experimented with a higher stocking rate, higher stock density, and herd impact along with a shorter grazing seasons — resulting in longer periods of grass recovery — which seems to be a success.
Additionally, a cooperative effort with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program and KDWPT was key to many of the accomplishments on the ranch, which is home to several wildlife and aquatic species considered at-risk or in need of conservation. This partnership helped the Alexanders interseed forbs on old cropland acres previously converted to native grass, enhance water developments, restore riparian areas, and expand the grazing system.
The ranch has also entered into a "Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances" with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. This voluntary agreement guarantees to address the conservation needs of a species before they become listed as endangered or threatened by specifying actions that will remove or reduce threats to the species.
"Any number of landowners could have won the National Private Lands Fish and Wildlife Stewardship Award based solely on habitat enhancements and other stewardship accomplishments on their ranches," said Berens. "However, it's the off-the-ranch activities that make the Alexanders stand out."
One of the most notable is their willingness to share what they have learned throughout the years with other ranchers, either through one-on-one mentoring or through one of the many conservation organizations to which Ted and Brian belong or serve on the boards. Additionally, they have opened their ranch to training opportunities for public, state, and federal agency staff and have allowed many university students to conduct wildlife research, including the interaction of wildlife and grazing practices.
"The Alexander Ranch is a great example of how excellent ecosystem management can benefit both the producer and Kansas wildlife," Berens added. "Congratulations and many thanks to the Alexander Ranch for their contributions to promoting wise working-land practices in Kansas."

Google+ has these really cool things called Hangouts where you can go and video chat with up to 9 other people. As if that's not cool enough, there are Hangouts On Air where the chat is live-streamed and recorded where it saved on YouTube for everyone to watch.
I thought it would be cool to do panels on different topics having to do with pet blogging. The first one will be soon. I'll announce it once everything is set up, but I wanted to share some possible topics for future Hangouts On Air to see if any bloggers would be interested in joining in as a member of the panel. They'll be in and interview/Q&A type format.
If you are interested in joining in, just complete the form at the bottom of the post and include which topics you be interested in being a part of. To keep the Hangout from going to long, I will most likely limit the number on each panel to 3. And to start I'll do 1 a month and see how it goes.
Let me know if you have any topics you think would be good for a Hangout in the comments. It can be about something having to do with blogging like time-saving, SEO, (if you have knowledge about a topic like these and want to share, please include in the form at the bottom. We don't have to have a panel for these hangouts) etc or a pet blogging microniche like the topics below.

The file, /etc/fstab is short for file systems table. But can be easily remembered by "F Stab" or "FS Tab", either way
Security :
The file itself is the responsibility of the system administrator. It is best to keep this file writable only by the system admins, & not edit the file with a user level account.
Layout :
There are six columns to the fstab file.
The columns are as follows:
1. The device name or other means of locating the partition or data source.
2. The mount point, where the data is to be attached to the file-system.
3. The file-system type, or the algorithm used to interpret the file-system.
4. Options, including if the file-system should be mounted at boot. (kudzu is an option specific to Red Hat and Fedora Core.)
5. dump-freq adjusts the archiving schedule for the partition (used by dump).
6. pass-num indicates the order in which the fsck utility will scan the partitions for errors when the computer powers on.
Options common to all file-systems
The options field contains a comma-separated list of options which will be passed directly to mount when it tries to mount the file-system.
The options common to all file-systems are:
auto / noauto
This is similar to the -a option for the mount command. Mount will do try all known file systems when trying to found the device.
If you don't want the device to be mounted automatically, however, use the noauto option in /etc/fstab. With noauto, the device can be mounted only explicitly.
dev / nodev
Interpret/do not interpret block special devices on the filesystem.
exec / noexec
exec lets you execute binaries that are on that partition, whereas noexec doesn't let you do that. noexec would be useful for a partition that contains binaries you don't want to execute on your system, or that can't even be executed on your system. This might be the case of a Windows partition.
Mounts the file-system read-only.
Mounts the file-system read-write.
sync / async
sync means it's done synchronously.
suid / nosuid
Permit/Block the operation of suid, and sgid bits.
user / nouser
Permit any user to mount the file-system. This automatically implies noexec, nosuid, nodev unless overridden. If nouser is specified, only root can mount the file-system.
Use default settings. Equivalent to rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,nouser,async.
Example :
[[email protected] ~]# cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/data /data ext3 defaults 1 3 /dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 # Network access (shared storage) NetStore:/data/RPMs /usr/local/download/RPMs nfs soft 0 0 # Removable media /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hda /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
If you are dual-booting your system with Windows, or have multiple OSs accross your network, you may wish to access some of your Windows drives via your Linux/Unix servers & workstations. For the Linux kernel provides full read/write support for FAT32 and the older FAT filesystems. Full NTFS read-only support is natively available in the kernel as well, but for write ability, you'll have to do some research. In most situations, mounting your Windows drives is simply a matter of reconfiguring your kernel with the right options. Once the partition can be mounted, you can add an entry similar to the following, to have it auto mounted everytime your Linux/Unix system starts.
/dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs ro 0 0
For more information on how to setup NTFS, there is a good article available here.
