Internet Technology Systems Integration
computer-support.net integrate converging internet technologies and a wide variety of cloud based services to maximise the simplicity and reliability of the systems you work with so that you can get on with providing your products and services without impeding your creativity.
We specialise primarily in designs that are highly mobile or virtual by nature, which is to say your information can just as easily be used from any internet enabled device. We can show you how you can operate without onsite servers, desktop maintenance, tape drives or PABX's and you can scale to any size in a fraction of the time and it's considerably easier to use, which means - no more geeks.
Smaller organisations are benefiting the most from these technologies that were previously only for the well financed corporate sector. Not only can they do this easily, but they can also easily ride the wave of social media systems that are enabling the previously 'technology challenged' outfit to rapidly get their product or service to the market without the need of the older 'top down' mass marketing methods that are rapidly losing market share.
Larger corporates can also benefit by shifting their well known applications to cloud based systems and in this regard we can assist your organisation with those migrations. Some companies may need to adjust their systems to adapt to the ferocious change in how the market place is shifting to accommodate real feedback mechanisms of the Web 2.0 era.

Unfreez 2.1 (gif animator)

Versions 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 all will run on Win9x with some caveats. Font handling on Win9x sucks ( limited to ~500 I believe ), so you need to install stuff like a Corel suite carefully, de-selecting all fonts. Even then a few still get registered and require manual editing of the Fonts registry key to correct bad paths. Also, All of the suites are registry hogs, and if your Win9x system is right at the limit with a large registry it might push it over the edge into BSOD territory. Of course, all things being relative, you can even more quickly kill the Win9x registry by installing something like the platform SDK and some other related tools that exceed Corel by a mile. If you have a fast computer, lots of memory and a normal or small registry then Corel will be fine though.
I know that Jasc Paint Shop ( version 7 and 8 ) and Animation Shop also run on Win9x.
MediaChance RealDraw and its sibling programs also work with some specific versions. Ulead had some programs as well.
Microsoft also had a basic GIF Animator that worked on Win9x but I am not sure if that is what you were looking for.
Pretty sure all Photoshops worked until the first CS, but I'd let someone else verify that first.

Adobe releases Creative Suite 2 for free [Update: Site is back!] ( NeoWin 2013-01-08 )
It seems at first glance that this Suite ( I think with Photoshop 9 ) might be free now. Many commenters and the author say yes, but there are some that say no.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 02:42 AM
I used to use the bloated XnView and IrfanView programs... but PhotoFiltre is more efficient, easier, and simpler. IrfanView and XnView have gotten carried away with "doing it all." Too many options now.
PhotoFiltre and FastStone Image Viewer are all I need... especially for Win9x... there's nothing better.
**I use versions 2.4 or 2.30 of FastStone, as it only requires 128 MB memory on older machines - according to the system requirements section in the help section.

After reading that Forbes "update", I just don't know what has happened to writers' communication skills these days If you read from around the "---------" divider it just makes no sense to me. His font and size selection further messes it up. This paragraph is out of place compared to the title: "If you have a digital creative streak but your budget doesnt extend far enough to buy Adobes Creative Suite applications, this is for you. Adobe have made available an array of applications from its Creative Suite 2 bundle for free.". Maybe he is just sloppy and neglected to label the "original" and the "updated" parts of the post? Still clear as mud to me.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 04:57 AM
Later info read at TechSpot: Adobe offering Creative Suite 2 for free, but they didn't mean to. Near as I can tell, they -permanently turned off the activation servers used by this CS2 Suite a month ago. Existing customers owning that suite still need to be able to reinstall that software on occasion but could no longer do this without the servers. Consequently Adobe put up that page with altered versions that no longer require activation for use by these existing customers.
The page is still live and will likely remain live. For people that do not own these versions ( the CS2 Suite or the individual standalone versions ) you are on the honor system to not use them!
This is indeed a very unusual situation. Adobe is between a rock and a hard place and had to choose whether to simply abandon those customers by killing the servers in effect killing the software should it ever require re-activation, or just place non-activated versions of the software available on a public server which no longer even requires a sign-in. Many long-timers may remember that this was discussed when "Activation" first became popular around 2000 with Office and then Windows XP. The logistics of how to handle the inevitable future scenario of maintaining activating servers "forever" was one of the arguments against this style of DRM. Now we have just witnessed the choice made by one company, Adobe, and I think they made the right choice, the customer friendly choice.
We are left to ponder, what will Microsoft do? The right thing or the wrong thing?

More About Water Street Tavern
Dark wooden booths and a big, classy wooden bar invite Water Street Tavern customers to relax and enjoy the "real bar" character as soon as they walk in. But even before they find a seat, smells wafting from the kitchen will be hard to ignore. That's the beauty of having Cajun Dave's cooking inside.
Not only is the beverage list extensive, the food can't be beat. Daily pizza pie recipes often feature seafood and innovative combinations. Warm weather means food and beverages can be enjoyed on the rooftop patio.
Live music can be enjoyed at the popular bar at least twice a week. The booths and bar stools are often full, so if you're meeting friends at Water Street, wear comfortable shoes, you may have to stand a while before you snag a seat.

How to Treat Hemorrhoids: Your Guide
A Hemorrhoid is a swollen vein in the anus. It can itch, burn, bleed and cause grave discomfort to anyone stricken. They are caused when there is to much pressure on the veins, caused by pregnancy, sitting to long, straining during a bowel movement, heavy lifting, coughing and a number of other conditions. Whether you are currently battling piles or want to prepare yourself for the future, learning how to treat hemorrhoids is something that you should do. Many quick and easy treatment methods are out there so you do not have to suffer any longer than necessary.
One of the first things that you should do upon discovery of your hemorrhoid is to take a sitz salt bath. Use lukewarm water and sit in the water for 20 to 30 minutes three or four times per day. Sitting in the warm water will provide relief for the itching and burning of the condition. This is one of the best hemorrhoids treatment methods that you can use to ease the pain associated with hemmorhoids.
When wiping the anus, try moist towelettes. These towelettes can be purchased from any pharmacy of health care store, providing a cool touch to the area. Be sure to rub gently when using the towelette.
Placing an ice pack on the affected area several times per day can also help ease the pain associated with a hemorrhoid. An ice pack should be placed on the anus for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. This will help shrink the size of the hemorrhoid.
Remember to always use fragrance free and hypoallergenic products on the anal region. These products ensure that moisture is absorbed quickly and no irritations are given.
A number of different topical ointments are available that can help reduce the size of the hemorrhoid while also providing relief from the pain and itching. Preparation H is one such ointment that comes highly recommended, but there are many others that work well, including home remedies such as Witch Hazel and Vitamin E.

For the last three decades many Americans have puzzled over a system that gives an R to a movie in which a women is carved up by a chainsaw and an NC-17 to one that shows a woman sexually pleasured. From such ratings one might conclude that sexual violence against women is OK for American teenagers to see, but that they must be 18 to see consensual sex. What message does this send to the kids the MPAA presumably means to protect? —
Carrie Rickey
(via fireworkselectricbright)
"You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario which is both complicit and complex. It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film."

And the worldwide attempt to shut down Occupy continues:
Mayor: Occupy LA must leave City Hall camp Monday
MONTREAL – What took nearly six weeks to build came down in a single morning as authorities moved in and dismantled two of Canada's last remaining Occupy camps.
LONDON (AP) — Authorities in London said Tuesday they were resuming legal action to evict a protest camp outside St. Paul's Cathedral after talks with the demonstrators stalled.
More than 200 tents have been pitched outside the iconic church for a month in a protest inspired by New York's Occupy Wall Street.http://finance.yahoo.com/news/city-officials-resume-occupy-london-155913257.html
As we wait to see what happens with Occupy Los Angeles tonight, and Occupy Philadelphia has almost fallen, I can not hep but feel rage when I think about all the hypocritical words spoken by our elected "leaders" in supposed support for protesters in Egypt, and other countries. I listen to the supposed outrage over journalists being arrested there, few even mention all the ones arrested and abused here for trying to cover Occupy, even though America is the one with a Constitution that is supposed to prevent that from happening.
At a time when 15% of our population can not afford to eat without food stamps, 1.5 million of our children are homeless, close to same number are unemployed as in the great depression (when you count the unemployed as they did then), and more and more middle class people fall into poverty every day, our government thinks the solution is to pass laws making homelessness illegal, and throw them in jail so they are out of sight.
America, the country where it is now illegal to sleep in a tent, a vehicle, on the ground, anywhere at all that you did not pay to have the right to sleep at. The country where it is illegal to sleep if you do not have money.
It is time we tar and feather both the Republicans and Democrats and run them out of town! It is time we elect leaders that represent the needs of those that elected them, not the needs of a few super rich so they can become rich themselves!

Moore 'Occupies' Jorgensen
When it comes to giving thanks, Michael Moore is not one to show appreciation to our nation's politicians.
The famed documentary-maker and activist spoke at Jorgensen on Friday, Nov. 18, as part of a lecture series by the Mark Twain House in Hartford. Although he focused on Occupy Wall Street and the global economic crisis, he also shared his opinion on key political issues that are concerning Americans today.
As the audience rose up to greet him, Moore shuffled on stage in a sweatshirt, shorts and a baseball cap. He blamed his attire on his anxiety-filled drive from Manhattan to Storrs and called it his "Occupy Wall Street outfit."
With all the shut downs of Occupy camps all over the world I am happy to report Occupy Hartford is digging in for the winter. We have a permit to camp issued by the state, and military tents, and other gear on the way.
Maybe Hartford will end up being one of the beacons in the night for Occupy this winter…
I dunno Was, I do believe OWS enjoys broad support and mine too, but reading comments on stories on CNN and Fox the majority "99%" of comments are anti OWS and are big on the lazy hippy theme, As I have said before if we the 99% do not embrace ALL the 99% then the movement is destine to doom.
You have to accept that 50% of the people will be Liberal's and the same for Conservatives If we cant accept the other half you are only the 50% and have nothing.

About the only place I see that great left vs right divide is in DC and our media. When I talk to most real people on issues they seem to agree on most of the major ones we are facing now, except for those who don't bother to learn on their own and let themselves get brainwashed by sound bites on the media.

Occupy Bostons camp stands! (for now)
Dec. 1 (Bloomberg) — Occupy Boston protesters may remain in the city's Dewey Square while a state court considers whether to lift a court order that bars their eviction.
Suffolk Superior Court Judge Frances McIntyre in Boston today allowed the order to remain in place until she issues her decision on or before Dec. 15. The judge heard testimony from the city's fire marshal warning that the square is a firetrap plagued by cigarette smoking

How much the Occupy movement has accomplished as far as waking people up, and changing the discussion in America in these short couple months amazes even me, when I was very involved in the discussions when it was just a idea online.
All the leaders that rose up to help organize and lead the fight all across this land in so many cities actually gave me faith in the American people again, when I had just about given up hope that our people would actually stand up like all those people in so many other countries have, and continue to now.
I watch certain people think it is a victory when Occupy camps finally get shut down. I can't wait to see their reaction in the spring after all the Occupy groups, with all their new recruits, spend all winter organizing and strategizing, without having to spend so much time trying to keep camps running all winter, and come out in the spring with an organized army like nothing most people have ever seen.
Occupy DC protesters are becoming increasingly distrustful of labor unions and advocacy groups like MoveOn.org, who, they say, are trying to co-opt their movement to push political agendas of their own.
Labor unions, in particular, have been supportive of the Occupy movement nationwide. In the District, where there are two Occupy protest camps, unions have provided supplies and allowed protesters to use their facilities, including showers, since they arrived two months ago. But tensions have started to mount.To emphasize its political independence, Occupy DC on Thursday marched on a Democratic fundraising dinner hosted by party leaders like Nancy Pelosi at which participants were paying $5,000 to $75,000 for a seat, and later blocked the entrance of the W Hotel where another Democratic fundraiser was being held. That followed a similar protest at a GOP event last month.

It says 481 views on this board today. Someone is still reading here…
I can't even watch the news anymore when mostly all they talk about is Cain and the Grinch.
I hope Cains wife tells him "GET OUT of my life you scumbag!" when he goes home. She should! He represents exactly what is wrong in America now, billionaires that think they are above the law and can do anything they want to anyone because they are so rich. Every time I see him talk I feel like I am watching evil personified!
9-9-9 my ass! All that would do is cut the income for most Americans by over 20% while increasing the income for the elite (like Cain) by over 20%.

I haven't stopped looking, How dare they say that Im not looking! Fu*kers better not say it to my face, Im out of patience.

The first point in the Manifesto is that it seems more natural to define the "Circle Constant" as
instead of
where , and are respectively circle's circumference, radius and diameter. Indeed the circle is defined as the set of the points with fixed distance (radius) from a fixed center, so the radius is more "important" than the diameter.
My point is to forget that we are talking about circles, and consider a (planar) shape , let's think of the points inside a closed simple curve. We can define its diameter as
and we can also define in a standard way (e.g. by integration) its area and perimeter . The radius can be defined as half the diameter, but I don't see any geometrical meaning in it. If is convex then
i.e. the perimeter of any convex shape is always smaller than the perimeter of the circle with the same diameter. The idea behind this inequality is that for any convex set, if you draw the circle with the same diameter centered in the barycenter of the set, the the circle contains the set. (I'm not entirely sure of this, if someone has a rigorous proof he's welcome!).
Then we have the following beautiful (at least for me) variational formulation of :
Moreover the supremum is a maximum (e.g. the circles are minimizers, but also the so called Reuleaux polygons). So is not only the "circle constant", but is the "every convex shape maximal constant". This because the diameter is an intrinsic value of ANY shape.
I hope you agree with my argument and that it is correct. I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm sorry if there are any kind of grammatical errors. Please do not kill me for whose.

Saint Mary's begins its quest for a second straight West Coast Conference tournament title and third in the last four seasons, taking on San Diego in the semifinals Saturday in Las Vegas. The No. 23 Gaels, seeded second behind No.1 Gonzaga, bring a five-game winning streak into the tournament. The sixth-seeded Toreros join ninth-seeded Loyola Marymount as semifinal surprises. They knocked off third-seeded Brigham Young in Friday's quarterfinals, getting 25 points from guard Johnny Dee.Saint Mary's best player started for the Australian national team last summer at the London Olympics. Matthew Dellavedova, a 6-4 senior point guard, averages a team-leading 16.5 points and 6.2 assists for the Gaels. The school's all-time scoring leader has put up no less than 19 points in six of the last seven games. Dellavedova had a season-high 11 assists in 28 minutes of an 81-48 victory against San Diego on Jan. 24 and scored 19 points with seven assists in a 74-64 win against the Toreros two weeks later.TV: 11:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2ABOUT SAINT MARY'S (26-5): Dellavedova receives most of the credit for Saint Mary's success, but the Gaels have a pair of juniors who play key roles too. Stephen Holt, a 6-4 guard, averages 11.8 points and is one of the team's top rebounders at 5.3. Beau Levesque, a 6-6 forward, is third on the team in scoring at 10.5, shooting 47.6 percent from 3-point range. Brad Waldow and Mitchell Young, the 6-9 starting forwards, should enjoy a significant size advantage against San Diego.ABOUT SAN DIEGO (16-17): Dee leads the way at 14.9 points. The sophomore has become more consistent in the last month, scoring 13 points or more in 10 of the last 11 games. Chris Manresa is a 6-9 senior forward who averages 9 points and 6.8 rebounds. He'll be forced to battle underneath with Waldow and Young, something he has struggled with this season. He went scoreless with five rebounds in the first meeting and came back with nine points and two rebounds in the second.TIP-INS1. Dellavedova is second among active assist leaders in Division I with 728.2. Holt has scored 13 points in each of the last three games.3. San Diego 6-11 senior C Dennis Kramer reached double figures in scoring in three of the first four games this season but has reached that mark once in his last 26.PREDICTION: Saint Mary's 75, San Diego 61

text: Economist Expects Good Things This YearFriday, February 22, 2013 - 4:59 AM We can expect to see some progress in the economy this year, at least according to Bob Morgan, the managing director of Austin Associates in Toledo. The Courier reports Morgan spoke in Findlay Thursday and said signs are pointing to more people gaining enough confidence in the economy to buy a house or car. He said new home construction should continue to increase, because the inventory of unsold homes is getting smaller. More people are expected to buy cars this year because the average age of cars currently on the road is a little more than 10 years. It's not all good news though. Morgan doesn't see unemployment falling much until 2015. A couple of the reasons are familiar; too few workers have the training required for the jobs available, and technology is reducing the amount of employees a company needs. However Morgan says there's another factor to worry about; a growing number of people who can't qualify for a job because they can't pass a drug test. MORE: The Courier |

The tour starts in Sarreguemines, where the Blies flows into the Saar. The long-distance cycle route then heads upstream to the river Glan. It's then not far to the Roman and Celtic excavations at the European Archaeological Park in Bliesbruck-Reinheim. As the tour continues there are plenty more good reasons to stop off. Among them are caves, a recreation area, castles and a railbike track. You can also follow in the footsteps of Hildegard von Bingen shortly before the end of the tour at the ruins of Disibodenberg Abbey. In the Nahe winegrowing country the river Glan joins the river Nahe at Staudernheim. Terrain: the long-distance cycle route runs from France across the border into Germany and on through the Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate. Mainly asphalt and low-traffic paths through predominantly flat countryside. Scenery: the route traverses the riverscapes of the Glan and Blies. Narrow valleys alternate with broad river meadows, forests and vineyards.

Securing Maternal Health Through Comprehensive Reproductive Health Services: Lessons from Bangladesh |
>>Available in PDF Summary: By Rounaq Jahan, PhD (American Journal of Public Health, Vol. 97, No. 7, July 2007). Reports findings from a research project launched in 2002 by Columbia University in collaboration with IWHC. Dr. Jahan examines the noticeable reduction of maternal mortality in Bangladesh since 1996, in part because of government policy and program initiatives. The article explores the comprehensive reproductive health strategy adopted in 1996 under the country's first Health and Population Sector Strategy and the 5-year Health and Population Sector Programme (1998–2003). The author assesses Bangladesh's achievements and challenges in the design and implementation of a maternal health strategy, concluding that mobilizing and nurturing political will is the key to sustaining policy commitment to comprehensive reproductive health (5 pages).

Classics is the study of the languages, literature, physical remains, society and culture, and history of Greco-Roman civilization.
The study of Classics aspires to enlarge, preserve and transmit precise and detailed knowledge and understanding of the ancient civilizations which continue to exert a central influence on modern society. Since it involves the study of entire cultures, Classics, by its very nature, requires an interdisciplinary body of knowledge and the rigorous application of several investigative methodologies.
Xavier's program focuses primarily upon literature and language. These pillars stand at the center of this discipline, and they are the sine qua non for further study of any of the specialized aspects of classical antiquity. More importantly, they infuse the undergraduate student with the words and contexts of many of the world's greatest writers and thinkers, broadening and deepening the understanding of the uniqueness and ethical ubiquity of human experience.
The goal is to free the student from the narrow constraints of a provincialism in formed only by one time frame and one place by providing the kinds of timeless insights and knowledge which should assist one's judgment and give moral credence to a comparative and a critical evaluation of contemporary society.
Through a close reading of ancient authors in the original language, the A.B. degree in Classicsis designed to bring students into close contact with the world of the Romans and Greeks focusing upon their thoughts, their concerns, and solutions proposed by the ancients to problems that still bedevil the modern world.

california wine basket December 26, 2012
I sent a wine gift basket to my grandparents for Xmas. I called to ask how I was and they only mentioned the one bottle of wine...when there was supposed to be two. No one called to tell me that one bottle was left out. I don't know how I would ever know that one entire bottle was left our. It was a waste of money. I am happy that someone overnighted a bottle to them but I would have never known unless I asked what they had received.

Turnpike Scheme Cost Pa. Taxpayers $108 Million, Auditor General Says
Interest rate swaps by Pa. Turnpike Commission cost taxpayers and motorists at least $108.9 million, according to Pa. Auditor General Jack Wagner
The following press release was provided by the Pa. Auditor General:
Auditor General Jack Wagner said that an audit released Wednesday of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has found that the turnpike's involvement in interest-rate swaps has cost Pennsylvania taxpayers and turnpike motorists at least $108.9 million.
Turnpike Commission's debt is blamed for driving up tolls
Wagner said the turnpike's strategy was to use the swaps to save money, but it has instead proved to further saddle the debt-ridden commission by not using conventional fixed-rate bonds to finance its debt.
Under Act 44, a Lease and Funding Agreement was entered into by the turnpike and PennDOT, which requires the turnpike to pay PennDOT $450 million a year, or nearly $24 billion, over a period of 50 years to provide funding for roads, bridges and transit. According to news reports, the turnpike raised tolls only five times from its opening in 1940 through 2004. Since Act 44 was implemented in 2007, there have been five annual toll increases, including one that took effect Jan. 6. Wagner reiterated today that the commission's long-term debt has increased by more than 200 percent, from $2.6 billion to $8.3 billion, since the General Assembly approved Act 44 of 2007.
"Given its precarious financial position relative to Act 44 payments, the turnpike should not use these complicated and risky deals," Wagner said. "The Turnpike Commission should terminate its swap deals and ban all swap use in the future for the sake of Pennsylvania taxpayers and the motoring public as soon as it is financially feasible to do so."
Interest-rate swaps are legal agreements between two parties – a debt-financing entity and an investment bank – on which way interest rates will move. The party that guesses correctly gets paid, and the party that guesses incorrectly must pay. The payments are determined by the amount of public debt financed with variable-rate loans.
A 2009 investigation completed by Wagner's office of the Bethlehem Area School District found that on a statewide basis, 107 of 500 school districts and 86 local governments had $14.9 billion in public debt tied to swaps. The numbers have since increased to $17.5 billion in public debt, encompassing 108 of 500 school districts and 101 local governments. In the process, millions of public dollars have been lost in interest-rate swaps deals.
Wagner's audit, which covered the period Jan. 1, 2007 through Aug. 31, 2011, found that the turnpike's 23 active swaps had a negative book fair value of $29.3 million as of May 31, 2011. Furthermore, Wagner's audit revealed that the turnpike had paid $59 million in fees and interest for terminated swaps, and $49 million in fees and interest on active swaps, for a total of $108,972,133 paid out in swaps losses between Dec.16, 1998 and Aug. 31, 2011.
"Swaps may be perfectly acceptable for the private sector, where private citizens are free to decide how much risk they can tolerate when their own money is at stake, but swaps should have no role in government, where the taxpayers' money is at stake," Wagner said.
In addition to recommending that the Turnpike Commission terminate all remaining swaps as soon as it is fiscally responsible to do so and refinance, if necessary, with conventional fixed-rate bonds, Wagner also recommended that the Turnpike Commission promptly adopt a resolution unequivocally and permanently prohibiting the use of swaps in the future.
In all, Wagner's audit made a total of six findings related to the operation and maintenance of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and offered 20 recommendations to fix the noted deficiencies. The five other report findings are summarized as follows:
• Turnpike Commission let employees ride the turnpike toll-free, even for personal travel
• Turnpike Commission provided more than $4.1 million of toll free travel to nearly 5,000 consultants, contractors, and other state government officials
• Turnpike Commission is overly generous and permissive when reimbursing commissioners for expenses, and lacks transparency and accountability with regard to those expenses.
• Turnpike Commission actively monitored the E-ZPass system to ensure correct fares are charged
• Turnpike Commission monitored, maintained, and inspected its tunnels, but it has not implemented fire detection systems in two of the five tunnels (Allegheny and Tuscarora) and critical project management practices that would ensure recommendations resulting from tunnel inspections are not overlooked.
Wagner's auditors found that the turnpike's liberal and inadequate policy of providing toll-free rides to turnpike employees and vendors, not only for business but for personal travel as well, amounted to 7,000 free rides and at least $7.7 million in lost toll revenue between January 2007 and August 2011.
Traffic volume on the turnpike has remained stagnant for the past five years. During fiscal year 2010-11, traffic volume on the Pennsylvania turnpike totaled over 189 million vehicles, including 165 million passenger vehicles (87 percent) and 24 million commercial vehicles (13 percent). The total net revenue generated from tolls in fiscal year 2010-11 was $763 million ($436 million or 57 percent from passenger vehicles, and $328 million or 43 percent from commercial vehicles). An increasing percent of revenue (47 percent in 2011) goes toward debt service mainly due to the burdens of Act 44 – passed in 2007.
The turnpike's workforce consisted of 2,104 employees as of May 31, 2011. It is administratively headed by a chief executive officer and a chief operating officer. The Turnpike Commission manages/oversees 21 maintenance facilities, 5 tunnels, 64 toll interchanges, 17 services plazas, and controls a total of 546 roadway miles.
A complete copy of Wagner's audit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is available at www.auditorgen.state.pa.us.

He is the commonwealth's elected independent fiscal watchdog, conducting financial audits, performance audits and special investigations.

The party that guesses right???? I never heard of interest rate swaps before, but how is that any different than gambling? How and why is this legal to be done with taxpayer money?
Richard Weisgrau
12:05 am on Saturday, January 12, 2013
It is gambling. It is speculative investment. It is legal because there is no law or regulation against it when it comes to taxpayers' or others' money. It appears that such risky speculation is OK in the minds of legislators.

That's a huge amount of money, it's no joke! So what happened after the scheme has been discovered? Is this already setteled?
6:52 am on Thursday, January 10, 2013
Evidently few seem to care about how such public groups waste money to cost all of us more... Use the BASD losses on derivatives as an example. Was anyone really punished, save for those who are now covering with increased taxes?
3:50 pm on Thursday, January 10, 2013
I have nothing to do with the Turnpike, nor do I know anyone employed with them. However, I think that all turnpike employees and families should get to use the system for free. Their use is not the cause of this disastrous financial mess, while it might contribute to it, it was able to sustain such looses prior to this SWAP mess. Let's not take yet another perk away from employees in good old traditional jobs, it's jobs and perks like this that built the suburbs we live in!

I have a few people I would like to give a chrysalis to as a gift. Any recommendations on a cheap, disposable-type container for the butterflies to emerge from? I don't want to give away any of my cages.

Did you detach the chrysalis and just have it laying on the bottom (top) of the glass? Do the monarchs have any problem getting out of the chrysalis if it isn't hanging?
