At least four other states are considering a similar trigger.
Paul Demery
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed into a law this week a two-year state budget with a provision that triggers an estimated $95 million income tax cut if the Marketplace Fairness Act pending before the U.S. House of Representatives becomes law. That federal bill is designed to increase the collection of sales tax by online and catalog retailers.
"Should federal Marketplace legislation become law, my intention would be for any resulting revenue be used to provide individual income tax relief for Wisconsin's taxpayers," says Walker, a Republican.
Signed by Walker on June 30, the state budget covers the period from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2015. It includes a cut in income tax for individuals, families and businesses equal to the amount the state would collect in new sales tax revenue under the Marketplace Fairness Act, should that legislation get signed into law while the budget is in effect. Wisconsin estimates that it would receive $95 million a year in sales tax revenue that currently goes uncollected should the measure, already passed by the U.S. Senate, take effect.
At least four other states are considering similar measures. Three other Republican governors—Terry Branstad of Iowa, Paul LePage of Maine and John Kasich of Ohio—support pending state legislation that would also trigger a statewide income tax cut along with enactment of the Marketplace Fairness Act.
"Such reductions would help stretch family incomes, create jobs, and increase our competitiveness compared to other states," says Gov. Branstad. His office estimates that Iowa would gain $18 million in sales tax revenue with passage of the Marketplace Fairness Act.
Governors LePage and Kasich have made similar statements, though estimates of what their states expect to gain in collected sales tax revenue weren't available.
But in Missouri, Gov. Jeremiah W. "Jay" Nixon, a Democrat, opposes the Marketplace Fairness triggering measure, contending that it would cost the state about $300 million in annual revenue. That figure is based on a provision in the pending state budget that would trigger a statewide 0.5% cut in income tax with final passage of the federal legislation.
The Marketplace Fairness bill was passed by a wide margin in the U.S. Senate in May, and is now before the Judiciary Committee in the House of Representatives, where it is expected to run into significant opposition, particularly from Republicans opposed to any measure that could be seen as raising taxes. Proponents point out that consumers already are supposed to pay sales tax on online purchases. But few do, and e-retailers without a physical presence in a state can't be required to collect sales tax under existing federal law.
If enacted into law, the act would replace existing federal law that says states can mandate sales tax collection by retailers only if the merchants have an in-state physical presence, such as stores or distribution centers. According to a study by the University of Tennessee, passage of the Marketplace Fairness bill would result in more than $20 billion in annual sales tax revenue that would otherwise go uncollected across the 45 states plus the District of Columbia with a sales tax, though other studies estimate a lower revenue figure.
A review by Internet Retailer found that the federal bill would impact the tax collection duties of many of the retailers listed in the 2013 Top 500.

What is ZleepAdvisor?
ZleepAdvisor is created for you as a guest, and you are the user. It's you, as our guest, relating and evaluating how you experienced our accommodations and services. And it's you studying the experiences and opinions other people share with you via ZleepAdvisor.
Reviews with quality assurance
In order to maximize quality and give the reviews a guaranteed value, it is necessary that the reviewer indicates a booking number from a realized booking. This is so that only people with experience of the hotel in question are able to share their impressions from a real stay at the destination.
How do I write a review?
By sharing your experiences with others, you give them an opportunity to learn what characterizes various accommodations around the world, in the same way as other peoples' reviews help you to choose exactly that hotel which is most suitable for you during your stay at a destination.
When you write a review about your accommodation experiences in ZleepAdvisor, you can choose a grade from 1 to 6, 6 being the highest grade. The results show both how many people have graded the hotel and what the present average grade is.

Full TitleQuit IT: Preliminary Testing of a Web-based, 3D Coping Skills Game to Increase Quitting Self-Efficacy for Maintaining Smoking Abstinence Following Hospitalization
The purpose of this study is to assess a web-based computer game to help smokers with cancer who are hospitalized at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to quit smoking. The game presents users with fictional characters in a series of scenarios modeled after real-world situations where it is difficult to avoid smoking. Participants will evaluate the situations and choose what they believe are the best coping strategies to deal with each scenario.
Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive usual care, which involves smoking cessation counseling sessions with a nurse who has expertise in helping patients to quit smoking. The second group will receive the same smoking cessation counseling and will also try the online game. They will learn how to play the game while in the hospital, and then will be asked to play it three to four times a week for the next month. Patients who do not have a tablet computer with Internet access will be provided with these tools.
The goal is to compare the smoking cessation rates between the two groups to determine if the game helps increase the rate of quitting.
This study includes English-speaking patients (age 18 and older) who are smokers and are being admitted to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for cancer surgery.
For more information about this study, please contact Dr. Jamie Ostroff at 646-888-0041 or Sarah Borderud at 646-888-0083.

Spoiler!Must say, I love the fact more bug Zoans are being shown, I always felt those where the second strongest type next to mythical
Spoiler!Must say, I love the fact more bug Zoans are being shown, I always felt those where the second strongest type next to mythical
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Just wait until we begin to see Kaido's Zoan army! I'm extremely looking forward to seeing these crazy Zoan creatures! Hopefully Chopper shines in this confrontation. Good chapter, but definitely hope mangastream comes out soon.
Purple monkey? Think its purple Tiger. Issho isn't it?
You know what? I think the original Donquixote may have been one of the 20 kings that created the world government. That would explain Doflamingo's reach, the fact he would have been kicked of the throne if he did not ally with the government, as well as the 900 year history between the Donquixote family and the Dwarves.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Meant Tiger sorry fixed it.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Ah yes, Wisteria Tiger. Got it. I was wondering if you meant him but thought I missed some nickname mention for a character. Eh....
I'm with FenixMarco; I'd much rather have Doflamingo simply be that maniacally resourceful than him be related to the Celestial Dragons. Although, the "young master" honorific, the 900 year revelation, and Doflamingo and his crew often referring to his crew as the "Doflamingo Family" makes me wonder if he doesn't have some great lineage that rivals the WG itself. It'll be interesting on how his history comes to light.
I also want to mention that I'm enjoying (not in a perverted way) Robin's new/current look. Very appealing. Couple that with the way Oda has been more or less sexualizing her lately (post-Punk Hazard bath, dwarf crevice search and frequent bosom hideaway) gives her character a refreshing girlishness that she is not often accustomed to. In it's own way, it's rather comical lol

The plucky city of Napier confirms the adage that every cloud has a silver lining. Napier's darkest and deadliest days, the 1931 earthquake, profoundly altered the future course of the city and the region.
In the wake of the devastating scale of destruction, the city fathers set about rebuilding the heart of Napier in a low-rise Art Deco style, which was then all the rage.
This visionary decision has bestowed Napier with one of the world's greatest collections of Art Deco, luring a throng a visitors from throughout the world.
The city centre is bathed in a palette of soft pastel colours and the stylised detail on the building facades - such as sunbursts, lightning bolts and zigzags - that accentuate Deco's personality.
The Masonic Hotel and the Daily Telegraph building are my pet Deco picks. You can savour the architecture for yourself or join one of the walking tours which start at the Art Deco Shop at 10am and 2pm, at a cost of $16 each.
The highlight of events is this month's Art Deco Weekend. It includes classic cars, aerobatics, steam-train rides, The Great Gastsby picnic, dinner and dance extravaganzas and free concerts.
The seaside spirit unfurls along Norfolk pine-lined Marine Parade.
There are plenty of eye-catching photo-stops, starting with Pania of the Reef. Our very own Little Mermaid story is a tear-jerking tale about Pania, a sea dweller, who fell in love with the land-dwelling Karitoke.
But homesick Pania returned to the sea to see her family, who trapped her in an underground ocean cave, where Pania became a reef, her arms forever reaching out for Karitoke.
Adjacent to the appealing statue are manicured gardens and the New Napier Arch, a memorial to the renaissance following the 1931 quake.
Pause to admire the clutch of elegant wooden buildings on Marine Parade, which managed to survive the quake.
Check out the blue-metal arch on the beachfront which symbolises the spot and the angle of the millennium's first sunrise. Further down the parade is the spectacular National Aquarium, a must-see for families.
This treasure trove of sea life also has land-based exhibits. The star attractions include crocodiles, piranhas, sharks, tuatara, kiwi, a fascinating dinosaur display and the living coral exhibition.
Don't miss the twice-daily displays of divers hand-feeding many of the residents, and the Behind the Scenes is well worthwhile.
If you want to enjoy an impressive ocean panorama head for the Botanic Gardens on Bluff Hill, for a magnificent bird's-eye view.

The Governing Council of UNEP adopted the "Youth Strategy" at its 22nd UNEP Governing Council Meeting in February 2003 to engage and involve young people in environmental issues. Since then, UNEP has devoted a section for youths and youth-related activities called TUNZA and established five youth networks in the Asia Pacific region:
The youth environment networks are a key activity under the TUNZA strategy in Asia and the Pacific. Each unique and diverse sub-region in Asia is represented by a network of active young people making a difference and who bridge young environmentalists and organizations representing the sub-regions of Asia. The networks promote, enhance and support youth participation in environmental activities, broaden the participatory process for sustainable development by inclusion of youth, and inculcate environmental awareness among the youth. The networks also give a voice to youth on their views on their sub-regions.

Just right!
"There was just something about these that caught my eye as I was walking down the aisle. Then I slipped them on my feet and I fell in love. I generally can never get my tennis shoes tied quite right. Either they are too tight or too loose. No worries here, just slip on and go. You literally will forget that you have them on."

Fabulous Shoe
"Recommend this to everyone - while they are Velcro they do not look like an older woman's shoe. They are perfect for running around in and are smarter looking than a regular lace up tennis shoe. Loved them so much talked my mom and sister in to buying them and they love them too."

Parents, staff, and administrators at Morgan Elementary School in Holyoke, Massachusetts made their pitch last night to stop the school from going into state control.
MORNING EDITION EXTRA: Holyoke school disappointment
Morgan Elementary is poised to become a Level 5 school, meaning state administrators could take control and implement a plan to boost student performance. Massachusetts Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester says he's likely to order a takeover. He says few students at the school are at grade level in reading and math.
"That result is not improving, despite a lot of effort to turn the school around, and despite substantial investment of federal and state dollars in trying to improve the school," Chester says.
Speakers at the hearing stressed that outside factors like poverty, homelessness, and the large population of non-native english speakers are added challenges. Rosa Cabrera is a parent of two Morgan students. She says parents need to be more involved.
"I feel kind of upset because teachers here do the work as much as they can, they try to teach the students," she says. "But I feel like if the parents will be more involved with the school, and help the teacher like a team, it will be better."
Cabrera and others at the meeting repeatedly asked Commissioner Chester to allow the school to go without state intervention, but he did not sound like he'd been swayed.

Titanic Clearing Southampton, SI Negative #34,460
Since the ocean liner Titanic sank on its maiden or first voyage, there are very few original pictures of the ship in existence. Most of the photographs that do exist were taken in the Harland and Wolff Shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, while the ship was under construction. There is one that shows the new ocean liner entering the port of Southampton, England with the help of tugboats, several weeks before the ship was to take on passengers. There are also a few taken of the huge new ship as it cleared that port on its maiden voyage on 10 April 1912 with a full load of passengers. The Smithsonian owns one of the last of these photographs, showing the starboard or right side of the ship against the wharf. The wave at the bow of the vessel indicates that it is already picking up speed, as it readies for the open ocean.
Carpathia, the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors
Both the British and the Americans held formal inquiries and hearings on the Titanic loss. The investigations revealed that although several vessels heard Titanic's distress call and one was closer even than Carpathia when the call went out, only Carpathia responded in time to rescue survivors. As a result, Carpathia saved more than 700 Titanic passengers. The ships that returned to the area of the wreck site later only found bodies and debris from the Titanic that had floated up from the depths.

RMS Titanic Life Vest
- Description
- Chicago physician Dr. Frank Blackmarr, a passenger aboard Titanic's rescue ship RMS Carpathia, helped the survivors suffering from hypothermia, exposure, and shock. He collected a Titanic life vest during the voyage as a souvenir. Five days into its maiden voyage in 1912, the White Star ocean liner Titanic struck an iceberg at full speed in the North Atlantic, en route from England to the United States. For the next few hours, the giant ship took on water and began to nose down into the sea. At 2:20 a.m. on April 15, the gigantic ship sank in 12,500 feet of water 350 miles off the coast of Canada. Within about two hours, Carpathia arrived and rescued the Titanic's 705 surviving crew and passengers. Around 1,500 people aboard were lost.

The midfielder, who joined Crawley from Everton in 2011, has agreed a three-and-a-half year contract.
Reading manager Brian McDermott told the club website: "I'm delighted to have signed Hope, we have known all about him for a very long time.
"He has a great pedigree coming through the ranks at a top Premier League side in Everton.
"There were a lot of clubs in for him during this window, but once he heard of our interest this was the only place he wanted to play. He's 21 and is a player we feel can play at this level."
Reading said the deal is subject to final ratification of all the paperwork from the football authorities, but they expect that to be a formality.

The Illinois Film Production Tax Credit Act offers producers a credit of 30 percent of all qualified expenditures, including on postproduction. This has helped the state to gain recognition as a place to bring future productions. "[2012] was an excellent year, and now we're already off to a record-setting pace this year," says Betsy Steinberg, managing director of the Illinois Film Office. This trend should continue, as the state's tax credit has been approved until May 2021 and is renewable thereafter in five-year increments.
Producers in search of premium studio space in the Midwest will be pleased to know that Chicago has its very own high-end facility. Cinespace Chicago Film Studios (an offshoot of Toronto's popular Cinespace Film Studios) boasts ten working stages with another ten on the way, and its largest space is currently 60,000 square feet. Developers took the former Ryerson Steel site's 48-acre complex and converted it into the studio, which opened in May 2011. "When it's all said and done, we should have somewhere around 20 [stages]," reports Cinespace Studio Manager Alex Pissios. "Chicago is a great city to work in. It's got a good labor force so we're excited about building this industry up over here."
According to Pissios, Keslow Camera, Cinelease, NBC/Universal and Gala Catering have set up support services at the facility. The NBC drama "Chicago Fire" is also headquartered at Cinespace along with the TV pilots "Betrayal" and "Influence," and Director Neil Burger's new sci-fi feature Divergent (starring Shailene Woodley and Kate Winslet). Filmmakers Andy and Lana Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending (starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis) is a sprawling sci-fi epic that will soon descend on Chicago to use its workforce, and Director Michael Bay's Transformers 4 (starring Mark Wahlberg) is expected to film in the city later this year.
The Chicago Film Office, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, provides a one-stop liaison for all the city's production needs, including permits, city services and logistical support. "Our operation is about delivering the goods," says Rich Moskal, director of the Film Office. "[It's] about making it as easy as possible for people to shoot here." Moskal notes that episodic television production is particularly good for the city, though working with "Chicago Fire" presented a few challenges. "Given the type of show that it is, [with] every episode there is an emergency attached to it, whether it's a fire or rescue scene or car crash or something like that, I would say things are running quite smoothly." The local community understands the economic impact that comes from productions filming in the city, and they remain supportive. "I would say that the overall response from the community is pretty positive," Moskal reports. "They're seeing the show [and] liking the show, [and] they like seeing it in their neighborhoods."
For the past 10 years, the Illinois Production Alliance (IPA) has served as an advocate for the state's production industry, welcoming a wave of film, television and other visual media projects. "We are a nonprofit organization made up of representatives of Illinois' production industry, including business and labor organizations," says IPA President Jeff Crabtree. "We serve as a legislative advocate in the state's capital. We work to educate Illinoisans about our industry, and we sponsor industry events and networking opportunities throughout the year."

Summary: The standard level goes high-tech with the Empire 48" digital laser level. This tool is reviewed by a real user who used the level the frame out his basement walls. The level was more accurate than a standard level. It can also be used to plumb and was very easy to use. Visit www.toolselect.com [2] to get more great tool reviews.
MARK: Didn't even have to read the instructions. I just played around with it a little bit and then, it was really easy to figure out. You could use this as a plumb bob if you needed to transfer measurements to the bottom.
BARNABY: Hey, what's going on? Barnaby here. Remember when a level was just a couple of bubbles in a bar and that's all it was. Now, they've gone digital and high tech, and that's what we're going to be talking about is a digital level. This one by Empire. It's a four foot, it's got a dot laser on the end of it. It has an audible alarm when you reach level. It also has a 10 memory function. What we'd like to do with tools like this is put in the hands of guys like Mark. Have you take it out to the job site and put it through its paces and then, what we're really interested in is your perception of performance, design, quality, and value of this. But first, let's talk about you. What do you do in life?
MARK: I'm a remodeler. I do kitchens, bathrooms, basements, decks.
BARNABY: All right. So, level is key and so slope. Right?
MARK: Yes.
BARNABY: Yes. So let's talk about this. What do you use it for?
MARK: Well, what I actually used this for was to frame basement walls.
BARNABY: Okay, and so, how did it work for you versus other levels you've used?
MARK: Well, this is a lot more accurate. The standard bubble-type level basically is just close enough.
BARNABY: Right.
MARK: This gets you, gets you plumb when it reads zero or not [inaudible 00:01:21] you know you're perfect, you're right on.
BARNABY: Just some good piece of mind with that because, I mean, I always ... I just remodeled a bathroom and it's like that bubble is just peeking past the line, you go, "Eh, it's close enough."
MARK: Yeah, exactly.
BARNABY: Okay. So, was it easy to use? I guess that's part of the performance. Was it hard to look learn?
MARK: To be honest, I actually ... didn't have to read the instructions. I just played around with it a little bit and then it was really easy to figure out.
BARNABY: Okay. Well, let's get into the design of it and talk about the various features and then we can also kind of overlay how those how those work for you as well so-
MARK: Sure.
BARNABY:Take me through it.
MARK: Well, this is aircraft aluminum. You got your shock absorbers on the end. You got your plumb vial. You got your level vial. And then of course, you have your digital readout here.
BARNABY: Right. Those are nice big numbers for us kind of ocularly challenged guys. Right?
MARK: Yes.
BARNABY: Okay. So, take me through the buttons. What sort of things does it do?
MARK: Well, you can zero it out if you're on one slope or one plane, you can transfer that over to another area.
BARNABY: That's convenient.
MARK: Yes, yes. If you're doing ... especially for landscaping or something like that. That would be very useful. You got your units of measure. You've got inches and feet. You've got percent for grade.
BARNABY: Okay.
MARK: And you've got your degrees.
BARNABY: Okay. And the audio alarm?
MARK: Audio alarm, you turn on if you're having trouble seeing your screen. It starts chirping when you get close to zero. It will do a progressively closer chirp.
BARNABY: Okay. Then what about the numbers? I mean, a lot of times, you get into positions where it's upside down and then, "Yeah, I got to flip it back over."
MARK: Well, yeah, and sometimes if you're a little dyslexic or not thinking, you could transfer the wrong number. This level actually flips the numbers over for you.
BARNABY: Oh good. So when it's overhead and whatever, it will always give you the nice vertically-oriented so you can read it.
MARK: Yes. Just like a smart phone.
BARNABY: Yeah. It's back lit, was that an advantage for it?
MARK: Yeah. If you're in a darker spot. A lot of times when you're doing remodeling, you're in a dark corner or something. You can actually turn that on and off just by hitting the on/off button again, so it can be lit or it can be off.
BARNABY: Okay. Then laser.
MARK: Laser.
BARNABY: Let's talk about that.
MARK: Yeah. This has a laser.
BARNABY: Okay. So, like for plumb?
MARK: Yeah. You could use this as a plumb bob if you needed to transfer measurement to the bottom. It does at the offset right here is 1.375.
BARNABY: Okay.
MARK: What I thought this would really be handy for is projecting a slope. If you're doing landscaping and maybe you're on a hill or something, building a deck, you can use this to transfer your slope.
BARNABY: Yeah.
MARK: So you can level out your pylons or whatever.
BARNABY: Okay. Well let's talk about the quality of it because man, I tell you what. You drop a level and you're thinking, "Oh my gosh! Are those bubbles ever gonna be true again?" This ones electronic, do you think it's going to hold up on the job site?
MARK: Yeah. This thing right here ... it actually, you can recalibrate it. It has a function to ... and you can do that with the zero button too.
BARNABY: Sure.
MARK: You get a [no 00:04:21] plane, [no 00:04:22] level. You know, you can re-zero it. You've got your E-shock what the company is calling their E-shock pads on the end.
BARNABY: Well that's nice.
MARK: If you do drop it. Hopefully you don't have to replace it.
BARNABY: Right. It's aircraft aluminum. What advantage does that bring to the plumb?
MARK: Well, this is a lot lighter. This is ... I've got a wooden carpenter's level ... and this is [inaudible 00:04:43] and that's a four-footer. This is probably a little bit lighter than that one.
BARNABY: Okay. Easier to hold up over your head and move around.
MARK: Especially when you're doing it all day. Yeah. This doesn't really tax you out too much.
BARNABY: Yeah. I guess you could always ... when not in use instead of leaning it out against the wall, like I do, where it's [inaudible 00:04:58] you could put it back in the bag. Right?
MARK: Yes, yes.
BARNABY: Okay. So, let's talk about the value because this guy comes at a price, obviously, with the electronics and stuff. Who do you think it's intended for?
MARK: I think this is more for the pro. The average homeowner probably isn't going to need something this accurate. But if they did have it, I mean, they'd make their life a lot easier.
BARNABY: Okay. And so, would you go out and buy this sort of thing?
MARK: Yes, I would. I've never owned a digital level before. I'm in love with this thing. I'm a true believer now. I want to get a whole set of these.
BARNABY: Isn't that the way it goes with guys. It's like one is never enough. I want the whole set! And so, that's what we do here at ToolSelect.com [3]. Real stats, real people making it really easy to figure out which tool is right for you.

When assembling a crew for a Philmont expedition, make sure to meet the specifications below. In keeping with the policies of the Boy Scouts of America, rules for participation are the same for everyone without regard to race, national origin, age, gender, or disability.
Requirements for Philmont participation are final.
Please do not request or expect exceptions!
For group expeditions, Philmont requires a crew of 7 (minimum) to 12 (maximum) members, including all youth and adult participants and adult advisers. Our experience has proven that this is the best size for a Philmont crew. You will find handling crew chores more efficient, food distribution best, and program opportunities greater. Also, keeping the crew together on the trail will be easier. Campsites are designed to comfortably accommodate a maximum of 12 persons.
Council contingents and other large groups should organize their crews according to hiking and camping abilities. Each crew can then choose an itinerary that corresponds to its ability, and travel at its own pace. Philmont reserves the right to combine smaller crews within contingents or multi-crew groups to maximize staff resources.
Also, please note the following restrictions:
A youth must be 14 years of age OR 13 years of age and completed the 8th grade by date of participation. Youth must be registered members of the Boy Scouts of America, and may participate in a Philmont expedition in one of the following ways:
The best available adult leadership should be recruited to accompany each crew. In keeping with the policy of the Boy Scouts of America, there are no gender restrictions for adult leadership at Philmont except that each coed Venturing crew must have coed adult leaders. Each adult must be a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America.
Each Philmont expedition or group must have at least two BSA registered adult advisers for Scout groups. One adviser must be at least 21 years of age; the second adviser must be at least 18. Each crew is required to have a majority of youth participants, and the maximum number of adults (over 21) is four per crew. Participants 18 through 20 years of age may be counted as youth or adult crew members.
Coed Venturing crews are required to provide coed leadership while en route to and from Philmont and while hiking the trails of Philmont. A coed Venturing crew must have at least one male adviser and at least one female adviser, each of whom must be at least 21 years of age. Male and female youth participants will not share the same sleeping facility. Male and female advisers are required to have separate sleeping facilities. Married couples serving as adult advisers may share the same quarters if appropriate facilities are available. Female advisers must be responsible for female participants; male advisers must be responsible for the male participants.
When staying in tents, no youth will stay in the tent of another adult other than his or her parent or guardian.
Expedition advisers must be physically capable of hiking and camping in Philmont's high mountains for the length of the expedition. Each expedition adviser is expected to reflect high moral standards established by custom, traditional values, and religious training.
Philmont recommends groups identify alternate leadership able to step in at the last minute in the event a leader is not able to attend. Philmont cannot provide staff to meet the BSA's two-deep leadership requirement.
Refer to Guide to Safe Scouting, No. 34416, for additional adult leadership policy.
Philmont places a special emphasis on physical preparation. Each group must carefully select participants who are capable of completing an expedition. The Health/Medical Requirements section of this site can serve as a guide in selecting crew members who can successfully meet the challenges of a Philmont expedition.
Every camper and adviser is required to have a medical evaluation within 12 months of their participation date by a physician licensed to practice medicine. An examination conducted by a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner will be recognized for states where they may perform physical examinations of students enrolled in public school systems. The current Philmont Health and Medical Record must be used. These forms will be mailed to the contact person for your reservation. If additional copies of the Health and Medical Record are needed, you may download them here. Advisers are to collect and hold the forms to be turned in at the Infirmary upon arrival at Philmont. Review each participant's medical form to be familiar with any health restrictions, and to check for parental and physician's signatures and that a copy of the participant's insurance card is attached.
An individual should always contact the family physician first and call Philmont at 575-376-2281 if there is a question about the advisability of participation. Philmont's chief medical officer and other medical staff of the Infirmary reserve the right to make medical decisions regarding the participation of individuals at Philmont.
Participants will be charged for medications dispensed at the Infirmary. Each crew must bring a first aid kit. The Guidebook to Adventure contains a recommended first aid kit supply list. Many over-the-counter medications are available at the Tooth of Time Traders.
Each youth participant and adult adviser must provide verification for the following immunizations:
Immunizations are available at Philmont for a fee for any crew member unable to provide adequate immunization records. The immunization requirement may be waived for persons with religious beliefs against immunization (waiver provided upon request).
Philmont requires that at least 2 members of each crew be certified in Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and at least 2 members be certified in CPR. Any youth or adult crew members may fulfill this requirement, and different individuals may be certified (for example, 4 individuals with 1 certification each could meet this requirement, as could 2 individuals with 2 certifications each). You must present current certification cards upon check-in to verify this requirement.
Equivalent training may include instruction by ambulance or fire department personnel, community colleges, or other organizations. You must have a letter indicating length of training, topics covered, and participant roster.
Units will complete a Tour Plan Worksheet when planning for local, national, or international adventure. The plan helps ensure the unit is properly prepared, that qualified and trained leadership is in place, and that the right equipment is available for the adventure. IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MARCH ADVISORS KIT.
A tour group must have its Tour Plan in its possession at all times and must display it when requested by Scout officials or other authorized persons. All reservations by a tour group for overnight group camping on council properties and military bases will be subject to the presentation of a Tour Plan on arrival. Philmont requires a Tour Plan be presented at registration.
Groups are encouraged to secure the signatures of these authorized persons on the front of the Tour Plan as indications of satisfactory experiences at various stopping points.
Philmont Scout Ranch, the Boy Scouts of America's premier High Adventure™ base, challenges Scouts and Venturers with more than 214 square miles of rugged northern New Mexico wilderness. Backpacking treks, horseback cavalcades, and training and service programs offer young people many ways to experience this legendary country.

A total of 71 bikes revved their engines in unison at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center Sunday morning in Castle Rock bringing Julie Widmer to tears.
The 14th annual Blue Thunder Ride Benefit and Poker Run, ridden in honor of Widmer's stepfather, Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy Ron King, is part celebration of life/part fundraiser for Douglas County children.
This year's ride, which wound from Castle Rock to Monument, east into Black Forest and north to Kiowa, raised $2,600 for the Ron King Organization's scholarship fund as well as financial aid money to help select area high school students pay for such things as school supplies, athletic fees and instruments.
King, 14 years ago, was killed in the line of duty after being struck by a drunk driver. Finishing up his shift, King was riding his motorcycle south on US 85 back to the station when a van pulled out of The Matchbox Bar – which has since been leveled – and plowed into he and his partner, Chris Washburn, who was riding with him.
Washburn, now a sergeant with the department, wound up in the ICU requiring reconstructive surgery. King was pronounced dead at the scene.
{{tncms-asset app="editorial" id="b26791ea-08db-11e3-8e96-0019bb2963f4"}}
One of the first D.A.R.E. officers with the department, King had dedicated his life to helping people make the right choices when it came to using drugs and alcohol and getting behind the wheel, something that made his death that much harder for many.
"Someone like Ron that gave so much to the community, trying to take care of our youth and trying to mentor and educate them on right and wrong and how to grow up and be a good citizen, to be stricken down by a guy who was abusing alcohol, it's like something you see in a movie," said Sheriff David A. Weaver.
What has come out of King's death is perhaps the feel-good ending to a tragic film.
Each year, law enforcement and members of the community alike come together on their bikes for the memorial ride to help pay it forward to area youth. Last year, part of the proceeds also went to help the family of fallen Englewood police officer Jeremy Bitner, who, similar to King, was killed in the line of duty by a drunk driver.
"It took me a long time before I was able to participate in a ride," said Widmer. "I would see a motorcycle and think of him, think of how he died. But once I got on the back of (a bike) and was surrounded by family and by people all here for the same reason I am, it really calmed me down a lot.
"I would love to have more community members come out. That is who we are supporting is their kids. I know there are a ton of people out there with bikes. I want to give them a reason to ride and come support something good."

FabulousI often hesitate to write reviews, but I'm compelled to write one in this case. I am a huge fan of Croc products and own a couple, but this is by far my favorite. I have a type 3B curl and in the past have used the ceramic 1" Chi; while a very good flat iron, it doesn't begin to compare with this one. My hair is left completely smooth and I'm convinced that it is actually healthy for my hair. Prior to purchasing the Croc, I bought a Sedu and Solia, but returned them promptly. This one is a keeper!Jan 18, 2011Alex / NJHAIR TYPEAuburn / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Good For A Starter IronI have to say, I am not too impressed with this flat iron. I decided to give it a try after reading some rave reviews about it, but in my opinion, it works just like the rest of the ones I have tried (Chi, Sedu, Remington). I do not like the fact that I cannot put it close to my head without getting burned like I can with my Remington or Chi . In addition, I found myself having to pull the iron through my hair several times before getting it straight to my liking. However, I will say that it does get the job done (minus a wave or two). This is a great starter iron for someone who only uses flat irons every so often, but for the pro, I recommend something a little more user friendly. The Chi is still my favorite.Sep 29, 2010Natalie / TexasHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Awesome Flat Iron!I have had many flat irons in the past and this is by far my favorite. I have thick, dry, naturally wavy/curly hair and I live in the South so my hair always tends to get frizzy/wavy/poofy in the humidity. This flat iron works wonders on my hair and it is soo lightweight compared to the Chi and doesn't pull your hair out. My friend just bought the wet/dry version where the plates are a shiny silver opposed to this one which has black plates and I actually like it a little better than mine. This one makes your hair feel pretty soft and straight but hers actually made my hair feel even softer and straighter. So I would probably buy the other one if I didnt already have this one.Jul 5, 2010KimHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Best Flat Iron I Have Ever Used!This is the best flat iron I have ever used. I have used the original Sedu and Revolution, also the Solia and the Karmin titanium flat iron. This is by far my favorite. It straightens my wavy hair in less time, doesn't pull my hair and the best part is there is much less damage to my hair. The croc is built sturdy, love the digital temperature control, and just love the overall job it does on my hair. Never thought I would find an iron I like better than the original Sedu, but I was wrong. Croc works the best, at least on my hair it does! I am hoping the Croc flat iron will last longer than my Sedu. I guess only time will tell.May 29, 2010Katharine

Step-up!I have had a basic FHI for 7 years!!! It still heats up and "works" okay but after using a friends brand new CHI I knew it was time to up grade. The Croc is wonderful. Knowing how many friends have burned out their CHI irons, I wasn't going there. In my research I found the Croc and finally setteled on it. I am so glad I did! I just hope that it last's as long as my faithful FHI. I will be keeping it for back-up!May 10, 2010Kristin

Preliminary Review Of This CrocThis review is the first review of two that I will do for this flat iron. I tried the flat iron two times on my wavy, thin in strand thick in number hair. The iron upon first use made my entire head of hair feel dry, not just my ends as I was used to. Ever since then my hair has been all over dry feeling (i used the iron only once more after that). It did not give me split ends (yet) but the dryness was concerning so i stopped using it and havent used it since. The reason i gave it 3 stars now is that there will be one more review when I use the Croc on my hair again in the summer. If it turns out that the condition of my hair is better when straightened in the summer, I will give 5 stars, if it dries out my hair again, I will give 1 star.Mar 26, 2010Elsie

The Best Flat Iron!!This Croc flat iron is THE best iron I have ever purchased. I have owned a GHD and Sedu previously and the Croc, by far, outdoes all flat irons. My Sedu broke after a year and my GHD pulls at my hair and doesn't smooth like the Croc. I have long fine hair but a lot of it. This iron makes my hair silky smooth even without the use of smoothing sprays. It doesn't pull at your hair like other brands do. It glides through your hair effortlessly. I would highly recommend purchasing this iron. I'm extremely picky about my hair and would recommend this over a Chi, Sedu, or GHD anyday. Trust me, I researched the different irons for two weeks by reading all reviews on various sites before deciding on the Croc and never looked back.Jan 31, 2010Amy / Tampa, FL

The prophet Elisha, who allegedly built the synagogue, was said to have anointed King Hazael on its steps, now gone.
Kashgari caused a firestorm recently for tweets that religious scholars have decried as insulting to the prophet Muhammad.
But why did the prophet accept the first revelation as true?
Malaysian authorities have arrested Hamza Kashgari, whose Tweets about the prophet Muhammad inflamed Saudi Arabia.
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.
So Sophonias the priest read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremias the prophet.
It is said that she had predicted that she was to be the mother of a prophet.
The prophet was at times waylaid by wicked men, and sometimes arrested upon unfounded, trumped-up charges.
The three Smiths were the prophet's father and two of his brothers.
Does not the prophet himself say: 'And behold, in the last days there shall come among ye—the false ones.
late 12c., "person who speaks for God; one who foretells, inspired preacher," from Old French prophete, profete "prophet, soothsayer" (11c., Modern French prophète) and directly from Latin propheta, from Greek prophetes (Doric prophatas) "an interpreter, spokesman," especially of the gods, "inspired preacher or teacher," from pro- "before" (see pro-) + root of phanai "to speak," from PIE *bha- (2) "speak" (see fame (n.)).
The Greek word was used in Septuagint for Hebrew nabj "soothsayer." Early Latin writers translated Greek prophetes with Latin vates, but the Latinized form propheta predominated in post-Classical times, chiefly due to Christian writers, probably because of pagan associations of vates. In English, meaning "prophetic writer of the Old Testament" is from late 14c. Non-religious sense is from 1848; used of Muhammad from 1610s (translating Arabic al-nabiy, and sometimes also al-rasul, properly "the messenger"). The Latin word is glossed in Old English by witga.
Someone who brings a message from God to people. The best-known prophets are those of the Old Testament. Their most frequent themes were true worship of God, upright living, and the coming of the Messiah. They often met with bitter resistance when they spoke against the idol worship and immorality of their people. Among the prophets of the Old Testament were Daniel, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, and Moses.
Prophets also appear in the New Testament. Jesus called John the Baptist a prophet; Christians consider him a bridge between the prophets of the Old Testament and those of the New Testament. Jesus mentions "true prophets" and "false prophets" — those who present the true message of God and those who present a counterfeit (see By their fruits ye shall know them and wolves in sheep's clothing). He himself was considered a prophet in his lifetime (see A prophet is not without honor save in his own country) and is still widely revered by non-Christians as a prophet, though not as the Messiah. The New Testament also mentions that some of the early Christians were prophets who spoke inspired messages to their communities.
Note: In general usage, a "prophet" is someone who can foretell the future. The prophets of the Bible often made predictions, which confirmed their authority when the predictions came true, but changing the lives of their people was a more central part of their mission.
(Heb. nabi, from a root meaning "to bubble forth, as from a fountain," hence "to utter", comp. Ps. 45:1). This Hebrew word is the first and the most generally used for a prophet. In the time of Samuel another word, _ro'eh_, "seer", began to be used (1 Sam. 9:9). It occurs seven times in reference to Samuel. Afterwards another word, _hozeh_, "seer" (2 Sam. 24:11), was employed. In 1 Ch. 29:29 all these three words are used: "Samuel the seer (ro'eh), Nathan the prophet (nabi'), Gad the seer" (hozeh). In Josh. 13:22 Balaam is called (Heb.) a _kosem_ "diviner," a word used only of a false prophet. The "prophet" proclaimed the message given to him, as the "seer" beheld the vision of God. (See Num. 12:6, 8.) Thus a prophet was a spokesman for God; he spake in God's name and by his authority (Ex. 7:1). He is the mouth by which God speaks to men (Jer. 1:9; Isa. 51:16), and hence what the prophet says is not of man but of God (2 Pet. 1:20, 21; comp. Heb. 3:7; Acts 4:25; 28:25). Prophets were the immediate organs of God for the communication of his mind and will to men (Deut. 18:18, 19). The whole Word of God may in this general sense be spoken of as prophetic, inasmuch as it was written by men who received the revelation they communicated from God, no matter what its nature might be. The foretelling of future events was not a necessary but only an incidental part of the prophetic office. The great task assigned to the prophets whom God raised up among the people was "to correct moral and religious abuses, to proclaim the great moral and religious truths which are connected with the character of God, and which lie at the foundation of his government." Any one being a spokesman for God to man might thus be called a prophet. Thus Enoch, Abraham, and the patriarchs, as bearers of God's message (Gen. 20:7; Ex. 7:1; Ps. 105:15), as also Moses (Deut. 18:15; 34:10; Hos. 12:13), are ranked among the prophets. The seventy elders of Israel (Num. 11:16-29), "when the spirit rested upon them, prophesied;" Asaph and Jeduthun "prophesied with a harp" (1 Chr. 25:3). Miriam and Deborah were prophetesses (Ex. 15:20; Judg. 4:4). The title thus has a general application to all who have messages from God to men. But while the prophetic gift was thus exercised from the beginning, the prophetical order as such began with Samuel. Colleges, "schools of the prophets", were instituted for the training of prophets, who were constituted, a distinct order (1 Sam. 19:18-24; 2 Kings 2:3, 15; 4:38), which continued to the close of the Old Testament. Such "schools" were established at Ramah, Bethel, Gilgal, Gibeah, and Jericho. The "sons" or "disciples" of the prophets were young men (2 Kings 5:22; 9:1, 4) who lived together at these different "schools" (4:38-41). These young men were taught not only the rudiments of secular knowledge, but they were brought up to exercise the office of prophet, "to preach pure morality and the heart-felt worship of Jehovah, and to act along and co-ordinately with the priesthood and monarchy in guiding the state aright and checking all attempts at illegality and tyranny." In New Testament times the prophetical office was continued. Our Lord is frequently spoken of as a prophet (Luke 13:33; 24:19). He was and is the great Prophet of the Church. There was also in the Church a distinct order of prophets (1 Cor. 12:28; Eph. 2:20; 3:5), who made new revelations from God. They differed from the "teacher," whose office it was to impart truths already revealed. Of the Old Testament prophets there are sixteen, whose prophecies form part of the inspired canon. These are divided into four groups: (1.) The prophets of the northern kingdom (Israel), viz., Hosea, Amos, Joel, Jonah. (2.) The prophets of Judah, viz., Isaiah, Jeremiah, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah. (3.) The prophets of Captivity, viz., Ezekiel and Daniel. (4.) The prophets of the Restoration, viz., Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.

JoJo Sutherland: Funny Money
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2006
Starting life at the top and steadily working her way down, JoJo Sutherland - Comedy Mother, gives an hilarious and fascinating insight into her eccentric, debt ridden and chaotic upbringing.
Original Review:
Excellent Scottish comedienne JoJo Sutherland's father wrote 36 books. And what we have here could be the basis of her own cracking tome, an autobiographical tale which starts in a Scottish castle with its own loch, moves to a cramped caravan, marriage, children, relationship breakdown and marriage to her first husband's brother. And that's the simple version.
Sutherland even appeared on the TV series Wife Swap, the Channel 4 version, not Five's, she's quick to point out.
Along the way, we get meetings with Charlie Chaplin, Dave Allen, Dylan Thomas, debt collectors and wishing the cat would piss in your bed just to keep you warm in a Scottish room you can't afford to heat.
Sutherland is immensely likable, and more than capable of a gag-based act as she proved last year. Now she has developed an easy-going conversational style with humour so interwoven it seems effortless.

It is a cracking good show. Standing room only last night. The gags just kept on rolling, as did the tears down my cheeks! Mind you, as her sister, I am biased - as I lived through it all too - but to see it all brought to life again is a real hoot. Almost unbelievably, it is just about all true!
