Seib & Wessel: The Debt Ceiling Closes In
WSJ's Damian Paletta says the autumn debt-ceiling showdown risks a replay of the August 2011 crisis. This time, Speaker Boehner promises a "whale of a fight" but the GOP lacks a unified strategy. Meanwhile, the White House says it won't negotiate over the debt ceiling.

Plastic Surgery has long played an important role at Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Dr. Vilray Blair, the first chief of the Division, was one of the founders of the specialty in the United States. His illustrious successors at the medical school and hospital have developed an international center for plastic surgery treatment and education.
Throughout the Division's history — dating back to the early 20th Century — Washington University plastic surgeons have developed many innovations. The "delay" phenomenon, the first reproducible cleft lip repair, full-thickness skin grafts, dermatomes, hypospadias repair, surgical burn management, advancements in oncologic head and neck reconstruction, and reconstruction of irradiated tissues, just to name a few, all stemmed from plastic surgeons at Washington University. Giants like Vilray Blair, James Barrett Brown, Louis "Bill" Byars, and Frank McDowell set a high standard for excellence, and that tradition continues today.
The current division chief, Susan E. Mackinnon, MD, performed the world's first donor nerve transplant. Her dedication to peripheral nerve reconstruction and evaluation of nerve regeneration have revolutionized patient management. She continues to develop new techniques of nerve transfers, which provide faster recovery of nerve function. Based on these principles, nerve surgeons within the division have performed an innovative procedure to restore hand function in patients with C6, C7 spinal cord injuries. For patients with leg injuries, Washington University plastic surgeons have developed novel nerve transfers to restore a more normal gait.
At West County Plastic Surgeons, division members have integrated 3D imaging into their cosmetic practice to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes. The division continues to be a high-volume breast reconstruction center in partnership with oncologic surgeons at the Siteman Cancer Center.
Repairs of fractures and reconstruction of nerve, tendon and ligament injuries of the hand are among many procedures performed by hand surgery specialists in the division.
The division also features a Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Deformities Institute at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Since 1978, the Institute has treated more than 11,200 total patients. These include 3,681 patients with cleft lip and/or palate, 4,985 patients with deformational plagiocephaly and 2,540 patients with major craniofacial anomalies. Our craniofacial surgeons are one of only a few centers across the nation to perform endoscopically assisted treatment for children with synostosis.
Other areas of excellence are cancer and trauma reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery, microsurgery, facial nerve reconstruction, brachial plexus reconstruction, pediatric plastic surgery and management of skin care. Washington University plastic and reconstructive surgeons serve patients in the St. Louis region, the Midwest, and throughout the world.
As an academic institution, the division provides not only leading treatment but also an academically oriented, integrated residency-training program in plastic and reconstructive surgery and fellowship opportunities for advanced training. The program is continuously evaluated and updated to provide the most advanced training that prepares residents and fellows to be leaders in their respective specialties.
Washington University plastic surgeons are also leaders in research with current studies in traumatic nerve injury; oncologic implications of fat grafting; outcomes of various types of breast reconstructions; limb transplant immunology; surgical outcomes in hand surgery; craniofacial reconstruction and developmental changes in the face; and peripheral nerve regeneration. Surgeons within the division are also focused on surgical education and integrating technology with education.

Global Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Tuesday, May 28, 2013 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
So, you've got a seriously awesome busines idea!
All you need now is funding and some support to make it happen, right?
Well what if I told you that CSULA and the Global Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship want to potentially give you +$5000 to help fund your Startup Idea?
Have I got your attention now?
Great!, now lets talk about what you need to do in order to get your hands on all that Moola and get your idea LAUNCHED!
But first let's talk about what a business plan is and why CSULA is choosing to do a FastPitch.
A business plan attempts to reduce the uncertainties surrounding the decisions needed to launch a business. It can be thought of as a blueprint or a roadmap. A business plan helps you determine if the business has a market, can make a profit and can produce the money you need. For our FastPitch event, you will have to complete a ONE PAGE business plan (Example) and email it to Rob Carpenter (email@example.com) by May 12th, 2013 by 5:00PM.
Why a FastPitch?
Traditional business plans, although extremely important, take a very long time to research and write. They are also probably outdated by the time you actually launch your startup. So we decided to skip this part and focus only on the bare essentials needed to get your great idea off the ground: the OPPORTUNITY you're addressing, the PROBLEM you're solving, your proposed SOLUTION, your COMPETITORS, your BUSINESS MODEL, the potential MARKET SIZE you're entering and your idea's POTENTIAL for major success.
That's right. We're focusing just on your idea's POTENTIAL!
How it Works
As a FastPitch participant you'll be required to do the following:
A) Register for competition on this eventbrite page (as a participant) by May 1st B) Submit electronic copy of business plan in Microsoft Word format by Sunday, May 12th C) Craft a 90 second pitch (no slides required) to be given in front of a panel of judges on stage D) Be prepared to answer any questions that the panel of judges might have for you and your idea
What Can I Win? 1st Place Winner $5,000 2nd Place Winner $2,500 3rd Place Winner $1,000
Bonus: Best Presentation Award
How Can I Prepare?
We're hosting a "CRAFT YOUR PLAN" workshop on Thursday, May 2nd to show you how to turn your idea into an actual FastPitch business plan.
We're also hosting a "Perfect Your Pitch" workshop Thursday, May 9th to perfect your 90 second pitch before the big FastPitch event on Tuesday, May 28th.
How Can I Spend My Winnings?
Now we're talking! Believe it or not, there are no restrictions on the way you can use the money! you can go on a vacation, pay for your tuition, or buy a computer. More importantly, though, you will have the opportunity to leverage that money and launch your business idea into something that can create value in the world for your customers and yourself...We're talking serious wealth building opportunities.
If you have more questions please contact the Global Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship Executive Director Rob Carpenter at email@example.com.
Since this is our Initial year, It will only be offered to California State University Los Angeles Students.

Stretched ThinWednesday, April 8th, 2009
Wow, can't believe it's been so long since I last posted. I'm sure those of you who follow regularly have wondered how BJ is doing. First off I want to thank all of you who said a prayer and sent well wishes. She's getting better slowly. At her last doctors appointment she was finally allowed to get out of her braces for a few hours at a time. I'm very grateful to the doctors at the University of Kentucky for all their skill and compassion. I'm sure Bj would agree with me when I say she couldn't have been treated better. The last couple months have been awfully rough on all of us, but more so on BJ. She has had to have on a back brace and a cervical collar any time she was out of the bed at all. I am now thoroughly convinced that she's a lot tougher than me.
Seems when it rains it pours. As if Bj's accident wasn't enough to slow us down. We've had a bit of tractor trouble. One of the wheels supplied to Mahindra by Titan for the 7010 developed cracks all around the lug holes. I was going to be without the 7010 for about a week so I had a neighbor weld in the cracks so we could keep going until the replacement came. Good thing too, because I had finally put the 6000 in the shop to have the clutch replaced and the next day the loader curl cylinder started leaking on the 3316 HST. Without the 7010 in limp mode I would have had no tractors. I loaned the 6000 to a friend when it had about 200 hours on it and he ruined the clutch pushing trees down. Through adjustment and being careful I was able to make it last almost another 800 hours, but during the chickenhouse cleanout it got used a lot and it was getting bad. I'm still waiting on a replacement cylinder or a repair kit for the 3316 HST. Hopefully Mahindra will get me one soon.
The second set of chickenhouses seems to have sprung up from the ground like a spring flower. I know it's been a couple of months, but it seems like just yesterday we started the actual building. Now the builders are finishing up and the equipment and electrical has started. Cobb is pushing for a disinfect date of April 20. I feel confident my part will be done, but the equipment install is going to be too close to call. The 7010 has found itself in the role of a forklift just about everyday as the equipment shows up. The more I use it the more I like the fact that it is so compact for a 70+ hp tractor. It fits my needs perfectly! Some of the equipment installers mentioned to me that they were considering a Mahindra for their farm and that using the 7010 has removed any doubt they might have had about the quality of these tractors.
Spring has sprung, leaving us baby goats and thunderstorms. The goats are cute as can be, but I can do without storms like the one we had a couple weeks back that blew off part of the barn roof and took out 3 or 4 large oaks. Somehow during all the madness here we found time to get to a special cow sale up in Somerset Ky.. I picked up 4 more bred cows. 3 of those have 200-300 pound calves by their side. All are black except one and she's a big red cow. The heifer we had from the last red cow is just so beautiful I couldn't resist buying another. The steer born to our hereford cross cow last year is set for a date with the butcher on May 20th. The pigs are growing by leaps and bounds and they too will soon meet the butcher or find a new home. They have done a wonderful job of making all our scraps, feed spills, and broken eggs disappear. Part of our spring seed order arrived today and the rest is scheduled to ship on the 20th. Everyone here thinks I've gone a bit overboard this time. I have strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, rasberries, grapes, and apple, pear, peach, and mulberry trees all on the way.
Well like always there is lots of work to do so I'll get to it. Be sure to check back, I think this is going to be an exciting year here on the farm. Don't forget to take a peak at the pics I've added and thanks for reading!

Hip Mamas
I see them hanging out after pick up, talking, arranging play dates and what have you and I know if I made a little bit of effort, I'd at least be included in the conversation. But I never do. I smile, I say hello, exchange a couple of sentences and then I scuttle to my car with the girls, mentally berating myself for not being more outgoing, for not trying harder. For being an idiot. Because the other part of my brain, the one that tells me what a dork I am, how much of a loser I am, always takes over at that point. Why would anyone want to include me? What if they didn't, what if they just clammed up when I tried to join in? What if they were just waiting for me to leave so they could make their plans? What if they don't really like me?
That's the crux of it right there. I'm pretty convinced that most people I know casually don't really like me. Sometimes, even people I do know well give me that feeling. I let every rejection eat away at me, dragging up crap that happened in high school, in college, and picking at it until it hurts again, convinced that all those people were right, that basically, I'm unlikeable. I hate that my mind goes down those paths. I wish I knew how to get it out of them.
So I'm wary. I'm afraid to make friends with people I meet, afraid that they'll turn out like everyone else, that they'll leave too. I wall myself off behind snark and sarcasm and a pose that I'm above it all, when really, I just want to be included. More than included. Valued. Appreciated for who I am and what I can offer as a friend. And yet, I'm too afraid to try.
Yes, I'm in therapy. Yes, I'm trying to work on this, but I feel so stuck on this one thing. How do you just get self-confidence? How do you not second- and third-guess every action you take? I'm not sure if it's even possible, but I need to try, before I really go bat-shit crazy.

OMG welcome to my world. Hey, maybe we should double on one of our therapy appointments! *lol* I'll buy the coffee afterward.
Seriously, I could have written this post. You speak so well, the words that live in my head. I think this is one of the reasons I am so terrified to meet people from the blogosphere...or hell, people in general. Rejection is my middle name and I really can't handle any more of that IRL.

Aw! You're no loser! Though I feel the same way sometimes. I'm convinced that people are nice to my face, but then say horrible things to each other about me behind my back. Or that they only include me in or invite me to things because they feel guilty, not because they really want me there. Living inside this head can really suck sometimes!!

You know, I think a lot of the self confidence and being comfortable in your own skin thing comes with age. I find the older I get, the more I like myself and care a little less about what other people may thing of me. I am who I am. And I'm ok with that.
It also helps to think to yourself "what's the worst thing that could happen if I ____" (fill in the blank).
AND I bet a lot of other moms feel exactly the way that you do.
Good luck - sometimes those preschool mom "cliques" can definitely feel intimidating.

Louise Hay's books helped me replace that negative internal dialogue with positive affirmations. I have trust issues with people IRL since my BFF left her hubby, kids and me and started partyin'
Don't worry though when you get to be my age you'll have a "Fuck 'em if they don't like me" attitude!
It's awesome!!

When I was in the 4th grade, the day immediately following my 9th birthday my three best friends met me on the street corner by my house so we could play. Or so I thought. Instead, they told me that they didn't like me and no longer wanted to be my friend.
That hurtful experience has affected my self-confidence and my ability to make close friendships my whole life.
I've come a long way, thankfully. And I know everyone has different coping mechanisms - but what helped me was doing volunteer work. Everything I did for them, every project I took on, was met with such praise and appreciation that it was the first step in helping me start to value myself once again.
All that said ... I still don't have quite enough confidence to approach those Hip Mamas, either. Still a work in progress, am I.

I wish I knew how to change this - if we ever figure it out we can go on tour selling our marvelous system for instant self-confidence. In the meantime, in my world you get social points just for smiling and exchanging a few words.

Um...yeah, you just wrote about me. I'm horribly self-conscious, with low self-esteem. When I do work up the nerve to say hi to others, I often find myself sounding like an idiot, or stuttering. It's embarrassing.
Even online I feel like an outsider. I watch my stats far too closely and as I've seen the numbers drop, I take it personally. Dumb, right?
You're going to be at BlogHer, right? I hope we can meet up and drown our low self-esteem in a few cocktails. Game?

There is a quote of Eleanor Roosevelt's that helps me when I'm feeling like that, which, like so many of us, is much too often. It is: "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." It helps me to remember that *I* control how I feel about myself.
All too often, I continue to feel like crap anyway.
But sometimes, it helps to remember that the hip mamas, or equivalent, don't have that power unless I hand it over.

Holy crow, this post scared me b/c last night, I wrote this to my sister: "I've had a couple other incidents of being blown off by people I tried to make friends with . . .I don't know what it is about this town, but I just don't feel like I fit in with the people here. I have so many acquaintances, it's crazy, but real friends in this area? I could count them on one hand. Seriously."
So, you aren't alone my dear. Can I hang on to your arm at BlogHer???

I can't approach those people, either, and my hood is full of them. I'm not so much worried that they won't like me as that I just feel too disheveled and disorganised and generally NOT together, so it makes my shy self retreat even further to avoid the compaisons I will inevitably make. Which I make anyhow, but only for the few minutes before I escape the playground in favour of my own company in the coffee shop. Good thing I like my own company.

Wow. As I was reading this, I thought "Am I actually schitzophrenic and wrote this in another personality?" Then I read the other comments & decided that if I have multiple personalities, I sure have a lot of them: Hello all you mes!
The situation you describe (school) is me. Both at school & my girls' dance class. The moms (and dads) have their groups all together. There are two things that keep me (somewhat) grounded: (1) I have some very long-term friends that have stuck with me despite some weird crap that I feel I've pulled (2) a friend/parent at the school who appears the same way (together/plugged-in/knows everyone, etc etc). I know her personally, and while *I* think she's got it (mostly of course!) together, I'd bet she'd say otherwise and echo your comments here.

Here's a hint I learned in Journalism school: it's not about you being likeable. It is about you finding something to like in them. When people sense that you are interested in them, they really open up and blossom and leave space for you to be yourself, too.
That's my little Dale Carnegie lesson for the day. You might read his book - how to win friends and influence people. It is still right on.

It dawned on me the other day while talking with some friends after preschool drop-off that I am one of those types of women you're intimidated by. I'm in a clique. Without the funky haircuts and cool clothes, but still part of a clique. It sort of happened over time but now we're a group of friends who congregate to talk about playdates and mom's night out trips to the bar.
So, as one of those women, I am telling you to go say hello. I speak from personal experience when I say that I've met some wonderful women who had the nerve to start a conversation with me because I was too shy to start one with them. And now they're part of the group too. Personally, I hate feeling as if someone thinks they can't join our group. The more the merrier!
(Of course, I can't speak for those women. I'm working out my own issues here. You're welcome.) :)

I was just like that. You know what changed me? My dad died. Yeah, that's "it." It's when I realized there were such horrible things that could happen, everything else was a breeze. Ever since then, I'm definitely so much more going for it.
Weird blessings, eh?

You don't get the self-confidence first. You approach that first time and it's terrifying and you get self-confidence form having done it, and then the next time it's easier.
This is what I tell myself, but it's a hard hard struggle, because I have the same voices in my head too. Hey, for all you know, those two crazy-together moms are thinking, how does she have it all so together? Doesn't she have four kids? Oh my god, I could never function in the morning with four kids! And her husband's away all the time....
A suggestion I got from a friend once (about something else, but kind of related) was to try what OCD-sufferers are told to try when their obsessions kick in: tell yourself it's only your brain firing random signals. The signals mean nothing; there is actually no danger. Sometimes it makes it easier to ignore those messages.

God, I wish I had an answer for that myself. Sometimes I just suck it in and go for it realizing that I could just end up looking like an idiot....

I think we all feel that way at times.
I did when my son was in public school and now again in University.
I don't fit. I'm younger than most of the other parents, not as well off and make inappropriate comments when I'm nervous.
All I can suggest hon is that you believe in yourself a little more. I know your not all those things you said about yourself and I know the people you know are not thinking that.
Stop beating yourself up and start remembering what a wonderful wife, mother, woman you are. You have a lot to offer.
- 13 May, 2009 22:12
OMG, I totally get this. I think everybody must feel that way at some point, but it sucks all the same. And I know what you mean about the scary-together mommies, too. Especially when I'm around the SAHMs after school on the one day a week I pick up my 6yo, I feel like I really don't belong. It took me the whole school year to talk to them, and now that I have, the school year's over!
I find that if I can fake the confidence, it usually gets easier, if not completely real. It's like, if I pretend that I'm completely comfortable in my skin (which in truth, I am, except when confronted with such pulled-together women as the other moms at school), I might be some day. Honestly, I don't think anyone is ever truly self-confident all the time--some are just better at faking it than others.

Allen Meadows and the Wines of Domaine Fourrier
Allen Meadows, a.k.a. Burghound, moderated this entertaining Seminar featuring the owner and winemaker of Domaine Fourrier, Jean Marie Fourrier. Domaine Fourrier has a four generation history in Gevrey-Chambertain and was one of the first Domaines in Burgundy to export wine to the United States. The Domaine experienced a revitalization with the arrival of Jean Marie Fourrier in 1994, and the wines, as Allen Meadows noted at the Seminar, "Are built on balance, not concentration." Jean Marie Fourrier says his wines are only crafted from vines at least 30 years old, and represent "terroir in a glass."
Join us at this seminar from the 2010 World of Pinot Noir.

Tobago International Cycling Classic Invites Teams for 2008
In 2007, we celebrated yet another immensely successful year of the Tobago International Cycling Classic. Now the platform is set for the biggest ever staging of this world class sporting event in Tobago. Our planning is already set in motion to take this positive momentum into the 2008 version of the region's Premier International Cycling Event.
The Cycling Classic continues to attract large contingents of international Teams, Cyclists, Journalists & Friends from Europe, Australia, North America, South America & all of the Caribbean to our shores annually... In just over two decades the Tobago International Cycling Classic has move from a one day road race among local club mates to being an established international cycling stage race event competing over 4 days in 5 races.
Last year saw a record number of 75 international and regional competitors from 12 countries challenging the best of the Caribbean. Among them - Olympic Champions, World Champions and Professionals of Tour de France fame. A cycling pedigree that is hitherto unprecedented of Road Cycling in the Caribbean. Little wonder that the popularity of this event continues to endear itself on the local and Caribbean sporting communities. In fact this endurance event is now being regarded as the "Tour de France of the Caribbean".
Over the years the Cycling Classic has unearthed a great deal of local talent, chief among those is the Caribbean most successful and dominant Road Race Champion of all times, Tobago's own Emile Abraham, who created history for T&T in 2007 when he won a Silver Medal at the Pan American Games, becoming the first road cyclist in the Caribbean to do so. What made this even more significant was that Cycling achieved the highest award among all T&T sporting discipline at these Games. Cycling is now more visible to a larger audience from T&T, throughout the Caribbean and internationally.
In our quest to stay ahead of the game and position this Event among the best international road stage race on the International Cycling Calendar, we introduced a new and dynamic Stage 5 in 2007...The Tour of Tobago. After years of the same tested and tried course that had become the hall mark of the Cycling Classic, the organizing committee decided to change gear in midstream. With the opening of the much anticipated New Link Road from Bloody Bay to L'Anse Fourmi then on to Charlotteville and Speyside, an awesome strip with a series of brutal climbs, undulating through the lush green rainforest reserve on one side and a steep decline down to the blue Caribbean Sea on the other side, described by some as the 'Beauty and the Beast'....
In the past, Local & Foreign riders were intrigued by the sun, sea and lush greenery that Tobago adds to the Event year after year, but this new piece of roadway is the 'icing on the cake'. It takes "Stage Five" to a whole new dimension for the Cycling Classic and has been able to stimulate much interest with the top Pro Teams from around the world. It also allows cyclists to circumnavigate the island, point-to-point, coast to coast, in a race that seriously challenged the body but satisfied the mind.
Click Here to open Stage 5 map in a new window
This New Cycling Course was given a 5 Star Rating by all of our experienced international competitors, some openly expressed that it was indeed the best road race course they had encountered.
The execution of the event is good and improving every year. Our competitors are our top priority and every precaution is taken to ensure their comfort and safety while in Tobago. For Caribbean Cyclists, the event provides a platform for them to compete against some of the world's best athletes, and interact with experience coaches & managers. It also helps them gain valuable international exposure, make new friends and develop a networking of contacts in pursuit of international contracts.
As has been customary over the years the 'Cycling Classic Village' will be located at Crown Point Beach Hotel and Johnston Apartments Compound. It is a point where a melting pot of cultures interact with each other over 7 days. Relations are formed, nurtured and strengthened. Cyclists, Supporters, Sponsors, Officials, Media and Friends share ideas in an atmosphere that facilitates friendship and lighthearted conversations.
In recent years, we have developed the contacts and associations with many international cycling & sporting associations, professional cycling clubs and the cream of the international sporting media. The Tobago Classic now enjoys a stream of intricate networking systems through our website www.trinbagowheelers.com with many sporting and media web-based organizations with a massive readership worldwide. In short, we now have the organizational capacity, stature and competence to take this event to the next level. We can now put into effect, repositioning and re-branding of Tobago as the premier bastion of sports tourism in the region.
We plan to heighten the profile and increase the appeal of the Tobago International Cycling Classic to a wider international audience. As we look ahead to the Tobago Cycling Classic carded for September 24-29, 2008 with great anticipation, we invite you to contact us, as we showcase the Tobago International Cycling Classic and the beautiful island of Tobago to the rest of the world.

Salina man garners award for exceptional volunteer servicePRATT — The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism's (KDWPT) Hunter Education Section has announced that Shannon Clarkson, Salina, has been selected the 2011 Kansas Hunter Education Instructor of the Year. Clarkson joined the volunteer hunter education instructor ranks in 1994, adding bowhunter education certification in 1997.
Wishing to better his skills in instructing young students in the technical details of shotgun shooting, Clarkson has taken the National Rifle Association (NRA) Shotgun Training Course. In addition, he holds certifications as an NRA range safety officer and a muzzleloader instructor, as well as training as a National Bowhunter Education Foundation tree stand safety instructor.
Dubbed by Salisbury as "Mister Hunter Ed of Salina," Clarkson routinely coordinates hunter education classes in and around the city. He has embraced use of KDWPT's instructor intranet portal for ordering supplies and submitting student rosters for the classes he organizes.
"Shannon encourages and tutors his fellow instructors to do everything he does," Salisbury added. "He is the prime recruiter of new instructors in this area, assisting with new instructor orientation workshops in Salina and surrounding counties."
Clarkson has been an active member of the Kansas Hunter Education Instructor Association (KHEIA) for many years and is the association's sitting president. The KHEIA is instrumental in securing locations for instructor workshops, staffing the registration table at the statewide instructor academy (held once every three years), and purchasing pellet gun ranges made available for use by all instructors in their programs.
In addition to his involvement in hunter education, Clarkson is deeply involved in community activities, including school events with his sons and with the local kennel club with Spark, his Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever. Clarkson is a Cub Scout master and an assistant Webelos den leader in a Salina Cub Scout Pack. He serves on a new committee attempting to develop a public shooting range in Saline County and instructs conceal carry classes in Salina.
For his efforts, Clarkson will receive a collector Henry Golden Boy .22 caliber lever action rifle and a Browning model 322571 knife, made available through the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA), commemorating the 60th Anniversary of hunter education in North America. The set will be presented at the KHEIA Annual Meeting in June.
Also nominated were Marshall Rhea, Oakley; Greg Babcock, Lincoln; Tom Van Hoecke, Olathe; Bill Van Deventer, Wichita; and Michael Corby, Haysville. Each nominee will receive a pewter Order of the Buffalo pin and Certificate of Appreciation.
"Our thanks to each of these great instructors for contributing to the on-going success of the Kansas Hunter Education Program," said Monica Bickerstaff, KDWPT assistant hunter education coordinator and bowhunter education coordinator.

Federal Employees and College Costs
For a long time now I've been writing about how student aid fuels explosive college costs, while Chris Edwards and Tad DeHaven have been highlighting the ever‐cushier compensation of federal workers. Well, I'm pleased to have finally discovered a direct linkage between these topics: A new U.S. Office of Personnel Management report on student loan repayment programs for federal workers.
According to the report, in calendar year 2009 "36 Federal agencies provided 8,454 employees with a total of more than $61.8 million in student loan repayment benefits."
Now, 8,454 employees is a small chunk of the entire, roughly 2‑million‐person federal workforce. Still, $61.8 million isn't anything to sniff at, and loan forgiveness is one more perk that needs to be considered when thinking of federal worker compensation. And then there's the trajectory of forgiveness: According to the report, spending on student‐loan forgiveness by federal agencies in 2009 was "more than 19 times" bigger than it was in 2002. Were things to continue at that rate, in 2017 the cost would be almost $1.2 billion, and then you'd almost be talking real money!
The important point from a student‐aid perspective is to emphasize something that must never be forgotten: While many analyses of student aid will only count grants – because they don't ever have to be paid back — as "aid," the reality is that that hugely under counts the true cost of federal aid to taxpayers. In addition to grants, taxpayers fund all federal student loans (and eat them when they aren't repaid), help finance work‐study, and pay for federal expenses that people taking federal education tax credits don't pay for. So when you look just at federal grants, the bill for taxpayers in the 2008-09 school year was about $24.8 billion (see table 1). Add in loans, credits, and work‐study, however, and the bill suddenly balloons to nearly $116.8 billion.
"But wait," will say the only‐grants‐are‐aid crowd, "isn't a lot of that $116.8 billion loan money that will be paid back?" Yup — it's just that at least $61.8 million of that repayment is coming, once again, from beleaguered federal taxpayers. And that, to be sure, is just the tip of the federal loan‐forgiveness iceberg.

By Adrian Croft and Conor Humphries
DUBLIN (Reuters) - France and Britain failed to persuade the European Union to back their call to lift an arms embargo on Syrian rebels on Friday despite warning that President Bashar al-Assad could resort to using chemical weapons.
Paris and London want to exempt Assad's opponents from an EU arms embargo, a step they believe would raise pressure on Assad to negotiate after two years of a civil war that has claimed 70,000 lives.
But they won little support from other EU member states at a foreign ministers' meeting in Dublin, diplomats said, despite raising concerns about chemical weapons to bolster their case.
"I insisted that very close attention must be paid to the possible use by Assad of chemical weapons ... There are indications that he might have used them or that he might use them," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters at the close of Friday's talks.
Assad's supporters and opponents accused each other of using chemical weapons after 26 people were killed in a rocket attack near the northern city of Aleppo this week.
In a letter to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton setting out their case, Fabius and British Foreign Secretary William Hague said they were "increasingly concerned about the regime's willingness to use chemical weapons".
Countries such as Germany and Austria remain opposed to lifting the arms embargo for the rebels. They fear it could lead to weapons falling into the hands of Islamist militants, fuel regional conflict and encourage Assad's backers, Iran and Russia, to step up arms supplies to him.
"We are reluctant about lifting the embargo ... We have to avoid that weapons could come into the wrong hands and that terrorists, jihadists, extremists would misuse these weapons," Germany's Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told reporters.
The EU has until June 1 to decide whether to renew or amend its sanctions on Syria and discussions on what to do about the arms embargo will continue in EU working groups.
Changing the arms ban needs the backing of all 27 EU states. Without agreement, all EU measures against Syria, including asset freezes and travel bans, would collapse on June 1.
Hague and Fabius signaled their readiness to compromise by saying in their letter that they would accept "some very serious amendment" of the arms embargo, short of its complete lifting.
The embargo was previously amended in February to allow non-lethal assistance for the opposition.
Austrian Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger said he could not see any reason for a compromise. "We are totally against so I can't see where there could be a compromise," he said.
If the arms embargo were to be lifted, Spindelegger said it would make it very difficult for Austria to leave several hundred troops on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights as part of a U.N. peacekeeping force, because the EU would be perceived as taking sides in the Syria conflict.
Some opponents of lifting the arms embargo are ready to look at easing economic sanctions on rebel-held areas of Syria to try to strengthen the opposition.
One option would be to ease a ban on EU oil imports from Syria to permit opposition groups to sell oil to Europe, EU diplomats said.
"We must look at how we can increase assistance to the moderate Syrian opposition, in particular through political and economic support," Ashton said in a statement.
Ministers would look at "all options" to help bring about a political solution in Syria, she said.

I'll mention right off that these are not the film related Aurora Awards but the Prix Aurora Awards voted on by Canadian fans/readers/writers for Canadian speculative fiction, art and fan achievement. They differ from SFWA's Nebula Awards because only SFWA (Science Fiction [& Fantasy] Writers of America) membership can nominate a writer, and only the membership (made up of professional writers, editors and agents) can vote on the nominations. The Bram Stoker Awards, which I also mentioned yesterday are also nominated by the Horror Writers Association and the HWA membership votes on the finalists and winners.
Like the Hugos (for SF) and the World Fantasy Award, Auroras can be nominated by anyone. You can vote for the Hugos if you're an attendee of the World Science Fiction convention and it is entirely fan based. World Fantasy Awards are juried for the final decision. For the Auroras, you must be Canadian to vote and pay the fee of $5.50 which is missing from the site until you register and pay to vote. http://www.prix-aurora-awards.ca/ This cost pays for the production of the awards and administration of the site. So the Aurora Awards are also fan based. There is also the Sunburst Award for Canadian speculative fiction, which is juried.
Recent years have seen a bit of changing of the categories for the Aurora, and next year will see a more succinct defining of categories since now we have magazines, poems and anthologies lumped together. Here are the nominees for the Aurora Awards and voting closes May 22. These awards are given for French and English works.

Encouraging participants to maintain good hydration and make healthy beverage choices.
When considering event layout, sponsors should make an effort to place bottle filling stations in convenient locations, as well as provide an adequate number of stations to prevent long lines. In addition to commonly identified map points such as restrooms and first aid booths, hydration stations should be prominently labeled on event materials and signage. Vendors selling beverages must be provided with a sign/language explaining the Packaged Water Ban, along with directions to the nearest hydration station. Additionally, event sponsors should encourage participants to bring refillable bottles so that they can easily access the fill stations and remain hydrated throughout the event.
Public water sources in San Francisco.
The SFPUC maintains and ensures the quality of water up to the meter. Owners of public or private properties are responsible for ensuring the quality of water on site. If there appears to be aesthetic (i.e. taste, color, odor, etc.) or health problems, or if you have general concerns with your water, please contact 311 for assistance. The SFPUC regularly tests water quality within facilities/private property for a nominal fee.
It is the responsibility of the event sponsor to protect the water from being tampered and/or contaminated at any point after the meter connection. The following considerations should be made when determining how the water will be provided to attendees after the point of connection to the meter:
Making more permanent public water sources available.
Since 2010, we have installed outdoor water bottle refilling stations ("tap stations") around the City as part of our Drink Tap Program. Drink Tap aims to provide everyone with free access to high-quality Hetch Hetchy tap water while on the go. Our tap stations enable you to reuse your own container rather than purchase costly single-use bottled water.
The SFPUC does not grant access to certain water sources for events.
Below grade connections (such as sidewalk vaults) are not allowed due to concerns for cross-contamination of the water supply. Access points on private businesses may in fact be an option for potable water for an event, but the water from such a source is metered through the private property owner. The City does not have jurisdiction to provide access to private water for public events. If such a water source is used, an agreement must be reached between the event producer and the property owner.
Educating Event Producers on the Packaged Water Ban
SF Environment (a Department of the City and County of San Francisco) holds Zero Waste Event Workshops two to four times a year. These workshops include information and resources on how event producers can comply with the Packaged Water Ban. For more information or to sign up to attend a workshop, contact email@example.com.
Waivers for the Packaged Water Ban
A waiver of the Packaged Water Ban requirements in full or in part may be granted by SF Environment if it is clearly demonstrated that the strict application of the requirement would not be feasible, would create an undue hardship or practical difficulty, or that circumstances otherwise warrant granting of the waiver. Please email all waiver requests, including detailed justification for the request to: email@example.com.

text: It was my birthday last week and to celebrate we invited some friends over for a celebratory feast. I wanted to make something that was a fun throwback to my childhood, a little treat/present to myself that could be shared with friends. With adding another item to the birthday food smorgasbord, it had to be simple enough to be done ahead of time and not take too much effort to serve up to the guest upon arrival. Simple, childhood, fun…Frito Pies! Growing up in New Mexico, the Frito Pie is a well-known staple of high school sports concession stands everywhere. Some will say that the Frito Pie is of Texan origin, made by the mother of the chips inventor, but I among others believe it was the creation of Teresa Hernandez at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Am I being biased? Yes. Yes I am. So I ventured to my local snack chip store, the bodega, and bought every last bag of single serving Frito's. On a side note, the look on a cashier's face when you drop 27 bags of Frito's on the counter is priceless. I only thing I said was, "they're not all for me", and left it at that. Onto the cooking!

Where will I be found on the days prior to the Official start of the Rootstech?
I'll be looking for ancestors in the Family History Library but won't be doing this all day as I'll take time out from the microfiche to hear some international geneastars give some lectures. I've heard that the Best of British: Audrey Collins, Else Churchill and Alec Tritton may be in the lineup.
I just noticed that there is now an email to register for classes on the page that lists the classes so if you wish to make sure you have a seat for the classes you'd like to attend it might be a good idea to shoot an email off to the people at the library.
STOP PRESS: Although the website has a link to register for classes I have just had an email that this is not necessary. All one needs to do is rock up on the day.

Statement on April 1988
Auditing Standards 58 Issued by the Auditing Standards Board
A ICPA American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants
Reports on Audited
Financial Statements
This Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) changes generally
accepted auditing standards by —
• Prescribing a new form for the auditor's standard report. Most significant
among the changes from the previous standard report is (a)
the addition of an introductory paragraph that differentiates management's
responsibilities for the financial statements from the
auditor's role in expressing an opinion on them based upon his
audit, (b) an explicit acknowledgment that an audit provides reasonable
assurance within the context of materiality, and (c) the addition
of a brief explanation of what an audit entails.
• Revising the second standard of reporting to require a reference to
consistency in the auditor's report (through the addition of an
explanatory paragraph following the opinion paragraph) only when
accounting principles have not been consistently applied.
• Changing the manner of reporting on a material uncertainty to
eliminate the "subject to" opinion qualification while retaining the
requirement to discuss the matter (through the addition of an
explanatory paragraph following the opinion paragraph). This SAS
also expands the guidance for addressing and evaluating uncertainties.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mustang68 from Use them daily Love these glasses! Be very careful, as they are extremely delicate. I handwash and dry them but so worth it. I can not ony taste the difference but hear the pour difference from my previous wine glasses. Glad for this set since you have the ability for red/white usage. Highly recommend.Date published: 2016-09-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Grummitt from Wonderful, but fragile I truly enjoy these glasses. The set is a nice way to not overspend for very good tableware that adds to the enjoyment of a nice bottle of your favorite. Only problem is my parents keep breaking them when visiting (both washing and using them). I don't have the heart to tell them each glass is more than the box wine they're drinking out of them.....Date published: 2015-08-23Rated 4 out of 5 by NashvilleArt from Beautiful, but not lead free These wine glasses are beautiful, but unfortunately the crystal is not lead free so I returned them. Some of their wine glasses are lead free, but not the Vinum line.Date published: 2015-02-06Rated 5 out of 5 by amberleigh from like fine crystal The stem makes this very fragile due to its height. I hand wash because of etching conditions in our water supply. Husband is afraid to dry them; but, not afraid to drink from them. lol! They do look very nice on the table, tho'. i would buy more pieces from the collection.Date published: 2015-01-18Rated 5 out of 5 by khold from Great All-Around Wine Glasses We're on our second set of these glasses and love them. Although they are fragile and over time, we've nearly lost a whole set (we like to entertain a lot), I will soon happily be buying a third set. If you're not ready to invest in varietal specific glasses, but still want to drink out of a lovely, delicate glass that enhances the flavor of any wine, these are the ticket. I love having different glasses for red and white. The price is great for such high quality glasses. Must be hand washed carefully, but so worth the extra care.Date published: 2014-04-02Rated 5 out of 5 by LisaDB from Very good quality , Very satisfied I am glad my husband and I decided to add these glasses to our wedding registry. We received one set and were so pleased with them that we decided to purchase another set on our own. The shape is well balanced, the quality of the glass is exceptional and it justifies the price. They are obviously fragile and need to be treated with extra care.Date published: 2013-08-28Rated 4 out of 5 by mc3318 from beautiful but so fragile My husband and I received this set from friends for Christmas. They were sent directly from WS, and one of the red glasses arrived broken. We called WS and a replacement was sent - it too arrived shattered. We are now awaiting our second replacement, and were told it would include extra packaging. Very lovely glasses though, and have been enjoying them thouroughly! Wash with care - we have been using a special Riedel cleaning brush.Date published: 2012-12-28

Minecraft at the movies – hit game to become a film
After the success of the Lego Movie it was perhaps inevitable. Minecraft, the creative building simulation that has so far sold over 35m copies, is on the verge of becoming a film. The game's creator, Markus 'Notch' Persson took to Twitter on Thursday evening to confirm rumours. "Someone is trying leak the fact that we're working with Warner Brothers on a potential Minecraft Movie," he wrote. "I wanted to be the leak!"
Film blog, Deadline Hollywood, first revealed the news, claiming that Warner Bros has bought the rights, and is already in the planning stages of a live action tie-in – although a release is far from confirmed at this stage. The site claims that Roy Lee, the producer of the smash hit Lego Movie, will oversee the project via his company, Vertigo Entertainment.
First launched in 2009 as a modest indie project, Minecraft has become a worldwide phenomenon, with over 100m users registered on its official site. In 2012 the game made almost $240m in revenue. Described as a digital Lego set, players are free to explore a vast, blocky landscape, building whatever they like, from castles to spaceships, with a large range of materials. Originally launched for the PC, the game is now available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and versions for the next-generation consoles are also in development. The title has a fanatical audience of committed builders who often spend months on intricate architectural projects. Teachers are now using the game to teach children everything from mechanics to urban planning.
Speaking to the Guardian, Persson confirmed a deal is in progress, and insisted that his studio, Mojang, will retain at least a level of creative control over the project. "I wish I knew what was secret," he said referring to the manner of the film's announcement. "But I can tell you that signing a 'do whatever you want to this IP' movie rights deal doesn't seem like something Mojang would do."
Earlier this month the developer moved in to shut down a fan-made Minecraft movie that was seeking $600,000 on crowd-funding site, Kickstarter. Persson tweeted, "We don't allow [...] kickstarters based on our ip without any deals in place. :/"
It remains to be seen exactly how a live action movie will capture the essence of what is essentially a sandbox building sim. Although Minecraft contains enemies in the form of zombies, exploding creepers and skeleton archers, there's little in the way of a set narrative beyond what players create for themselves – the game didn't even get an ending added until 2011.
These are trifling concerns to Warner Bros though, which no doubt sees the game's vast audience of loyal fans and a licensing operation that has already made many millions from books, toys and clothing. Hollywood, like most Minecraft fans, is adept at building mighty things out of the most basic of materials.

Mill House Brewing Company to Open in Poughkeepsie in Fall 2013
The Valley's newest brewery takes up residence in a Dutchess County city's rehabilitated mill house

Goodbye, Panda — hello Pub!
When local favorite Chinese restaurant Mill House Panda — a fixture on Poughkeepsie's Mill Street for the past 25 years — shuttered its doors this March, we wondered what would become of the cute space on the corner. We didn't have to wait long to find out: Mill House Brewing Company — helmed by the brothers Crocco (general manager Chris and executive chef Daniel), Eric Baxter, and brewmasters Jamie Bishop and Larry Stock — is set to open its doors later this month. Expect a slew of artfully crafted brews as well as tasty dishes that employ local ingredients.
We dropped by for a look-see as soon as we heard the hammerings of construction on the shiny new brewery (craft beer is our latest obsession). View our gallery below for a sneak-peek at its progress, and keep an eye out for our article in the November print issue.

Just an update that I am still doing well! :) I feel like I've really gotten my focus back and I haven't weighed what I weighed this morning since April 4th!
I've noticed that a lot of people are struggling. The people that were dieting at work are falling off the wagon. It actually makes me feel like I am successful. Because I have lost 50 lbs and am still keeping it up. Usually, I'm like my co-workers and I lose 10 lbs. and fall off of the wagon. This time, I've got it right.
Today is my last day of classes so I am psyched! This is the first time all semester that I fell behind in the reading for class today, so I'm a little nervous about going to class! But it's the last day…what's the worst that could happen? I figure I'll have this weekend to play catch up as I prepare for finals, etc.
What are your plans for the weekend? I plan on writing a 12 page paper, doing 100's of pages of reading, preparing a presentation, and studying for a final. Sounds like fun, huh!? I'll definitely sneak in some me time in there somewhere. We have city-wide garage sales tomorrow, so we'll be sure to check those out for some steals! :)
Have a great day and Don't Quit!

The annual Taiwan LGBT Pride Parade takes place this afternoon, with more than 50,000 people expected to fill the streets of downtown Taipei.
Now in its 10th year, the Pride Parade has come a long way since it first started with a relatively small group of 500 lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders and their supporters. Now it's one of Asia's largest LGBT pride parades, known not only for its festive carnival atmosphere, complete with rainbow flags and flamboyant costumes, but also as a platform for social causes.
This year's theme centers on same-sex marriage, and is entitled "I Do! Do I? Equal Rights to Marriage, Diversity in Partnership" (革命婚姻 婚姻平權 伴侶多元). Organizers are seeking to draw attention to the lack of institutional and legal rights for same-sex couples.
"We think the right to marry is a basic human right," said Chen Chia-yu (陳家玉), one of the conveners and spokespersons for this year's parade. "And whether or not a person actually wants to get married, marriage should be a basic right that all citizens have."
Same-sex couples should be allowed the same legal protections that married heterosexual couples have, she says. "If [one partner in a same-sex couple] gets in an accident, and has to go to the hospital, that person's partner might not be granted visitation rights. Or when someone passes away, they can't give their inheritance to their partners."
Taiwan first attempted to legalize marriage and adoption for same-sex couples with the proposal of the Basic Human Rights Law (人權基本法) in 2003, but the bill never passed in the legislature.
But the Pride Parade organizers are also looking beyond legal issues surrounding same-sex marriages. They want Taiwanese society to reconsider the traditional notions of marriage and family to allow for a "diversity in partnerships" such as same-sex relationships and heterosexual couples without children.
Chen says the institution of marriage is such that men and women are encouraged to have children, but doesn't account for "different kinds" of families and relationships. One simple example, she says, is same-sex or heterosexual couples without children. They face the challenge of receiving proper care when they become elderly, particularly in a society where children traditionally look after their parents in their old age, she says. "Our country hasn't paid much attention to these issues."
Other causes and issues will also be covered at tomorrow's parade, with groups devoted to HIV/AIDS awareness, labor rights — and even protesting the construction of the Miramar Resort in Taitung — slated to attend the march.
The procession starts at the Presidential Office on Ketagalan Boulevard (凱達格蘭大道) at 2pm and splits in two. The north route follows Zhongshan South Road (中山南路), Qingdao East Road (青島東路), Changan East Road (長安東路), Nanjing East Road (南京東路) and Linsen South Road (林森南路). The south route follows Zhongshan South Road to Roosevelt Road (羅斯福路) and passes through Hoping East Road (和平東路) and Jinshan South Road (金山南路).
Both processions will converge on Renai Road (仁愛路) and return to the Presidential Office, where the parade ends with speeches and performances from activist and rights groups, as well as a "massive group hug-in," according to Chen. There will also be performances from Hong Kong singer Anthony Wong (黃耀明), who notably announced he was gay during a concert earlier this year, acclaimed Aboriginal singer/songwriter Suming (舒米恩) and environmental activist and new age musician Matthew Lien.

The request line is open on bald t-shirted madman Joerg Sprave's Slingshot Channel, and apparently the one thing you've wanted to see more of is razor-sharp blades slicing through frozen chunks of meat. Thank god.
It's mostly a victor tour for our favourite vaguely European death carpenter, a welcome review of some greatest hits (slingshot guillotine!). And while I'd love to crack open a hearty mead with Joerg, I have to confess that I got unduly nervous when I saw all those kitties walking around. Nervous, and titillated and the idea of seeing how Cougar did against a moving target. [YouTube]

If you suffer from asthma and allergies, you may be more sensitive to the irritation caused by Christmas trees and holiday decorations this year. Trees have been known to trigger allergies for several reasons. Some people are allergic to a substance in evergreen sap that is released when the branches or trunk are cut. Trees may also carry mold or pollen on their branches. Moreover, artificial trees will collect dust in the time leading up to Christmas, unless stored in airtight containers.
One article suggests several ways to ensure your holiday is allergy-free. Make sure all holiday decorations are cleaned outside before bringing them into indoor living areas, as air quality is often worse indoors. In addition, cleaning regularly can help you avoid breathing in air contaminants. Consider a HEPA vacuum filter, as these are most efficient, and make sure to change your air filters after your decorations go up!
Christmas is only a week away, and you don't want to be coughing, wheezing, and sneezing when it's time to open up your gifts.
Speaking of gifts, check out our top picks for unique Christmas gift ideas that you can buy online. If someone in your household is suffering from bad indoor air, FiltersFast.com just might be your one-stop shopping place this holiday season!

text: I have question about this because I have this problem. On the left side of my nexus 7 the screen is slightly raised. If I push it down slightly it stays for a little and it goes back to being a little raised. I do not hear creaking noises unless I repeatedly press very hard on the black portion in the middle of the left side next to the rim. Question is - Is this an issue that can get worse and make ghosting appear because I have not been seeing any of that or will my screen slowly come apart? I want to know this because I can call google to get it replaced or just live with it because it is really not bothering me. As long as it will not get worse I do not think I will have any problems.
