text: In part one of our special report, we showed you there are good paying jobs available in Maine. That is primarily because manufacturing in Maine has changed, and with that transformation so too has the skill set employers are looking for. "I said to someone before, if you work with your hands you're a laborer. If you work with your hands and your head, you're a craftsman. If you work with your hands, your head, and your heart, you're an artist. And we really need artists." Those are the words of Bruce Tisdale, President of Mountain Machine Works. Community Colleges all over Maine are training those artists every day. At Kennebec Valley Community College in Fairfield, where they currently have 16 first year and 16 second year students of all ages and backgrounds, students learn their craft under the watchful eye of John Godin.Godin worked as a machinist for years before getting into teaching. Students in his class should have no problem finding a job in Maine when they graduate. The job placement rate in the precision machining department at KVCC? 90%. "They're at entry level position," Godin said. "They could go in to any shop and work safely, understand the work practices and with a little instruction as far as how their own company works they could do very well." Tisdale says there's a job waiting for them at Mountain Machine Works when they graduate. "What does that education cost? I think it costs $4500, or call it $5000 a year, for two years is $10,000," Tisdale said. "And he would start out here at $15 an hour with great benefits."Employers like Wick Johnson at Kennebec Technologies in Augusta is on multiple advisory boards and maintains continuous dialogues with community colleges, even donating equipment for students to train on while in school. He wants to make sure graduates are ready for work on day one. "I think the community college system does an excellent job," Johnson says. "I mean we're always pleased with the graduates of their programs who come to work here. We do a great deal of training in house. We expect to train we have people training every week. We pay tuition for our employees who get higher education, get more education including community college."Those who choose precision machining as a career path learn quickly that the technology behind manufacturing has changed. "We're looking at a whole new definition of manufacturing," says Maine Labor Commissioner Jeanne Paquette. "Right now you can go into manufacturing companies and you could eat off the floor. They're pristine. They're high end. They're high technology."Those at the Maine Department of Labor see this as an opportunity to get unemployed or under-employed men and women in maine back to work. "That's what we really want to focus on is making sure that we are up-skilling people no matter what their age in order to take those jobs that are in demand," Paquette said. "Some of it is on the job training. Some of it is going back to school to learn what the new machines require."Helpful Links:Maine Department of Laborhttp://www.maine.gov/labor/Mountain Machine Works:http://www.mountainmachineworks.com/Kennebec Technologies:http://www.kennebec.com/Kennebec County Community Collegehttp://www.kvcc.me.edu/Central Maine Community College:http://www.cmcc.edu/

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I was very impressed with the service I received!! I wanted a special gift delivered to a special person in Turkey and this was accomplished thanks to all of you! The customer service was very professional and considerate. I was notified of every step and was also able to make substitutions due to delays, which were not due to the company. I don't know of a single other company that takes the time to personally call their customers to be sure a quality product is delivered and picked up in the same condition. Thank you all for your wonderful service :)"
Michelle - Oklahoma, USA - February 20, 2013
"The service is simply excellent! I confess that I initially had several fears. But considering the positive reviews I decided to take the risk. I ordered a basket for Valentine's and it was delivered today to my husband who is working in Honduras (we're from Argentina). And he just called me very excited because he entered his room and found the gift. They delivered my gift promptly, right on time. And my husband said the gift was very cute. Also during these days their customer service constantly kept in touch with me to arrange the details. I recommend them without any hesitation."
Andrea Q - Argentina - Feb 14, 2013
"I gave a very short notice on my order. Giving them less than 2 business days and wanting it delivered on the weekend. Between those two facts, I figured my package wouldn't be on time. But I was pleasantly surprised to realize it arrived exactly when I wanted it to! The service is fantastic and ill definitely be using them again. "
Austin - USA - Mar 7, 2015

More and more towns are putting lobbyists on the payroll to tap federal tax money through earmarks (those special appropriations that make their way into omnibus bills in Congress). According to the NYT, "since 1998, the number of public entities hiring private firms to represent them in Washington has nearly doubled to 1,421 from 763." Bridges, roads, walkways, pedestrian crosswalks… cities and towns are finding that a little bit of lobbying can go a long way.
Hiring Federal Lobbyists, Towns Learn Money Talks
By JODI RUDOREN and ARON PILHOFER
TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. ? Rebuffed on several requests for state and federal financing to help rebuild its crumbling bridge, this small resort town was all but resigned to raising the money by doubling the 50-cent bridge toll, increasing property taxes and issuing bonds.
But in a last-ditch gambit, city officials hired a federal lobbyist who had known the local congressman for four decades. Within weeks, the congressman, Representative C. W. Bill Young, called the mayor to say he had slipped a special $50 million appropriation, known as an earmark, into an omnibus bill.
The city had originally sought $15 million. But Mr. Young ? a Republican who was then the all-powerful chairman of the Appropriations Committee and, as his lobbyist friend knew, believes public roads should be free ? raised it to eliminate the toll.

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ holds steady ahead of jobs data, OPEC; Europe in focus
* Canadian dollar at C$1.2463 or 80.24 U.S. cents * Bond prices mixed across the maturity curve TORONTO, June 4 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar was little changed against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday as investors awaited the two countries' Friday employment reports for May and oil prices held steady the day before an OPEC meeting. With few domestic drivers on Thursday, market participants were focused on overseas action, where the euro surged and the benchmark for European borrowing costs, the 10-year German Bund yield, recorded their biggest two-day gain since 1998. The moves came after a surprise return to inflation in the eurozone and after Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, indicated it would not add more stimulus because of rising yields. * At 8:56 a.m. EDT (1256 GMT), the Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.2463 to the greenback, or 80.24 U.S. cents, not far from the Bank of Canada's official close of C$1.2453, or 80.30 U.S. cents on Wednesday. * The currency's strongest level of the session was C$1.2437, while its weakest was C$1.2492. * In the United States, the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits last week fell by 8,000, slightly more than expected, to a seasonally adjusted 276,000, pointing to labor market resilience despite only moderate economic growth. * Canada's Ivey PMI data for May is due at 10:00 a.m. EDT . * U.S. crude prices were down 0.52 percent at $59.33, while Brent crude lost 0.45 percent to $63.51. A weaker greenback was offsetting worries over a global supply glut ahead of Friday's meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. OPEC is widely expected to maintain a production target of 30 million barrels per day, despite calls from some quarters to cut supplies in order to support prices. * The Canadian dollar, which was weaker than many of its key currency counterparts, is expected to trade between C$1.2370 and C$1.2500 against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, according to National Bank Financial. * Canadian government bond prices were mixed across the maturity curve, with the longer-term bonds rising. The two-year was up 4 Canadian cents to yield 0.587 percent, while the benchmark 10-year rose 16 Canadian cents to yield 1.762 percent. * The Canada-U.S. two-year bond spread was -8.1 basis points, while the 10-year spread was -57.8 basis points.

Energy Suspension 02-06 RSX Rear Trailing Arm Bushing: Red
Free Shipping
Inside Continental United States
Earn 116 reward points. Learn More
Will It Fit Your Vehicle?
All of Energy's Control Arm Bushings are full-floating and non-binding. Which is especially important for both lowered and raised vehicles that have had drastic suspension geometry modifications.
On the front of vehicles, they make a dramatic improvement in the way they handle-with quicker steering response and greater vehicle control. Whatever your demands, proper alignment (caster and camber) is better maintained by the use of the correct performance durometer of the bushing's materail formulation. On the rear, these control arm bushings are a must for controlling wheel hop and increasing cornering control for competition uses as well as maintaining alignment on and off-road.
Energy's Control Arm Bushings do not rot or deteriorate from oils or atmospheric conditions such as ozone, smog, road salt, chemicals, and other corrosives. They will not deteriorate in a few short years and cause that mushy, uncertain steering response like rubber OEM one often do.

Since 1948, the School of Veterinary Medicine has been serving the public through statewide teaching, research and service programs benefiting animal health, public health and environmental health in California and beyond. In 2013, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine established the Veterinary Center for Clinical Trials (VCCT) to provide centralized support for the clinical investigators and academic departments involved in clinical trials. Our primary responsibility is to help contract, initiate, and facilitate veterinary clinical studies as well as to act as a hub for information about other centers and services around campus.
One of our primary resources is the William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH), the home base of the nation's largest veterinary residency program. Faculty and highly trained staff treat more than 50,000 patients each year while teaching essential clinical skills to veterinary students. This hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, a highly trained technical and nursing staff of 300 and internationally recognized faculty veterinarians in 34 specialty areas, including opthalmology, oncology, cardiology, anesthesia/pain management, neurology/neurosurgery, regenerative medicine, nutrition, equine health, and more.
In addition to the VMTH, we also have access to several more specialized centers, including the Center for Equine Health and the Center for Companion Animal Health. Connections with the UC Davis Medical School and the Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) for human clinical trials provides us with a unique opportunity for interdiscliplinary and translational collaborations.

We lie very close to the Viking Way. This walk is 147 miles long and is linear starting at the Humber Bridge south bank viewing area from where it heads westwards along the Humber bank and passes underneath the bridge. Several access points give opportunities to visit the lakes and observation hides at Far Ings Nature Reserve.
It then continues through South Ferriby and up onto the chalk ridge of the Lincolnshire Wolds from where there are dramatic views of the River Humber, Read's Island, South Ferriby Marina and the Ancholme Valley.
It then leads down into Barnetby-le-Wold, a railway village from where this 14 mile section leaves North Lincolnshire and travels via Caistor, Lincoln, through the Vale of Belvoir, finishing at Oakham in Rutland.
The name of the route reflects the influence of Danelaw in the eastern counties of Britain and throughout its length the Viking Way logo of a Viking helmet appears on waymark signs. Appropriate Ordnance Survey maps together with a guide to the complete walk are available from Brigg Tourist Information Centre.

A Vasectomy Reversal
To understand what a vasectomy reversal involves, it is helpful to first understand your vasectomy.
A vasectomy is a relatively simple, surgical sterilization procedure for men. An estimated 600,000 vasectomies are performed in the U.S. each year. The vas deferens is a long spaghetti-like tube that transports the sperm from the testicles. The vasectomy is often done in the doctor's office as a relatively quick, minor procedure using local numbing medicine though with little or no sedation. During the vasectomy, a small segment of the vas is removed and the open ends of the vas are then closed with stitches, cautery or metal clips. The vasectomy procedure is always a variation on the same basic theme - to damage the vas and block the flow of sperm, though every doctor uses their own slightly different technique. The vas deferens does not transport the male hormone testosterone, which is also made by the testicles but gets into the bloodstream through veins. Thus, a vasectomy has no effect on a man's testosterone, sex drive or erections. Get a no-cost pre-surgical consult to help answer your questions about the vasectomy reversal procedure.
The good news is that because there is usually plenty of extra length of vas in the scrotum, the specific technique used or the amount of vas removed is rarely a problem when the vasectomy reversal is performed by a skilled and experienced microsurgeon. Read about ICVR and the 3D surgery system for Vasectomy Reversals.
What's a Vasectomy Reversal?
A Vasectomy Reversal is a challenging surgery where the scarred ends of the vas are microsurgically reconnected in multiple layers under a high-powered surgical microscope. This allows sperm to flow again through the vas. An estimated 30,000 to 40,000 or more men each year change their minds and want to restore their fertility with a reversal. Regardless of how many years have passed since the vasectomy, microsurgical vasectomy reversal in the hands of an experienced microsurgeon is proven to be the most logical and least expensive way to achieve pregnancy. A vasectomy reversal is an outpatient procedure that does not require hospitalization or overnight stay! This 2 1/2 to 3 hour surgery is considered one of the most technically challenging in all of medicine.
What determines vasectomy reversal success?
The single most important factor for vasectomy reversal success is the skill and experience of the microsurgeon you choose. In fact, this is the only factor that you control. Every urologist has some knowledge or experience with reversals through their residency training or with an occasional reversal in practice. Everyone knows that with anything technically challenging, there will always be a small number who have perfected those skills and achieve the highest level of success. This is especially true in the vasectomy reversal field.
There are only a small number of true urologic microsurgeons who have the experience and surgical expertise needed to offer patients the absolute best technical surgical procedure and the highest possible success. Patients need to be "buyer beware" when selecting a vasectomy reversal center, as any doctor can create a slick website or make impressive claims that may not be true. Every doctor that does an occasional reversal can achieve some successes and some happy patients. But you owe it to yourself to take the time and find the doctor that will give you your best chances for success. You should approach your choice for a microsurgeon and reversal center with the same intense scrutiny as you would if you were choosing a neurosurgeon to perform brain surgery or a plastic surgeon to operate on your face. Experience, reputation and doctor accessibility are other important elements that patients should seek to find in their surgeon. These qualities, with the highest level of success and an unsurpassed level of caring, make ICVR one of the most trusted names for vasectomy reversal in the world.
Don't be fooled, there is no On / Off Switch. The expertise of a microsurgeon specialist that focuses on Vasectomy Reversals with a 99.5% success rate is the best bet.

This year's event took place Tuesday, November 26, hosted by the Office of Spiritual Formation. About 900 students, faculty, administrators and staff dug into Pioneer Catering's turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pie in the Special Events Center on the main FPU campus. Annual highlights included the Parade of Nations, where international students from 42 nations carried their flags into the SEC, and the table decorating contest, this year won by the Commuter/Student Exec & Student Financial Services, Traditional Undergraduate Admissions and Residence Life/Student Life offices. The theme was Agriculture in the Central Valley, suggested by Fay Nielsen, Ph.D., associate dean for retention.
University Pastor Angulus Wilson acted as master of ceremonies and speakers included Karen Cianci, Ph.D., dean of the School of Natural Sciences, as well as President Pete C. Menjares, Ph.D., and his wife, Virginia. Music was provided by the Brass Ensemble, led by Wayne Huber, associate professor of music; and the Concert Choir, led by Zachary Durlam, D.M.A., assistant professor of music, who also led the singing of the congregational hymn and the FPU Alma Mater.

I just went to download PHP (5.2.6) and I noticed one of the options is "debug pack".
OK, silly question, "its for debugging", but who is it aimed at?
Us, developers using PHP, or developers of PHP?
And while you are at it can you tell me why are there seemingly two versions with the same name, but different file sizes and md5 hashes?
Can anyone fill me in?
It seems the information could have been on the page with the links, but if you follow them, one isphp-debug-pack-5.2.6-Win32.zip8,691,561 bytesand the other isphp-debug-pack-5.2.6-nts-Win32.zip8,324,001 bytes
So I guess it depends on whether you want the "nts" (Windows NT server) version or not.
The debug version is for developers of PHP.
"nts" is non-thread safe.
Thanks for correcting that. I was wondering why it didn't simply have "NT' instead. This should teach me to not make assumptions. That's a completely different meaning altogether.
Thanks for the replies people.
What, so you are saying there are so many developers that they put the debug version in public view?
Or, is this like when Firefox crashes, you get this dialog box appearing saying "report this?".
If the latter was the case, then shouldn' more of us be doing the equivalent of "report this?" ( though, granted its more likely to be "send us the content of the last php error", or "send us the content of your cachegrind file" ).
Would we be good community members to download the debug version? And what action should we take.
Or is it the case that - if you have to ask then clearly you don't qualify.
I believe it allows you to hook in a debugger for the purpose of hunting down bugs and/or it dumps debugging information when something goes awry. For most bugs, you can just provide a piece of code to reproduce the problem so most bugs do not need that kind of attention.
Oh I see, thanks sk89g.
Well as I already have Xdebug installed on this machine I am upgrading, which will become my main dev machine.
Should I then run with "debug pack"?
If I did that, as a good php'er, what responsibilities do I have?Are there ways I can contribute to testing bugs?
My first IT job was as a regression tester, so I know what an absolute pain incorrectly reported bugs can be.
Sometimes there is a fine line between user error, error in documentation, an environment setup error and an actual bug - but the time taken to sort out which is which, and to reply to the reporter can take a lot of time that could be used fixing real bugs.
"Its broke" != "a bug"
Anyone point me in the right direction to find out if I can contribute in some very small way?
AFAIK, the bug tickets should have enough information and code to be able to reproduce the error. Not like a forum post saying "it doesn't work", without even an error message included. They don't want code syntax/logic errors or config issues, just bugs with the core code.

The Indiana General Assembly approved just under 300 new laws this year, many of which will become effective July 1. The changes in state law taking place this summer impact a variety of issues. Read on for a brief summary of some of the new laws taking effect July 1, 2013, and several that are already effective.
To see a complete list of new laws enacted and signed by the governor in 2013, visit the governor's Bill Watch page. Additionally, the Senate Democrats' 2013 Session Summary provides a breakdown of each bill approved this year (PDF>>).
Legislators approved the state's two-year, $30 billion budget in April. The most important initiative debated during the 2013 session, House Enrolled Act(HEA)1001 contains proposals advocated for by Senate Democrats, including increased local road funding, additional resources to address back-logged maintenance and building projects for the state's public universities, and an appropriation for statewide programs for community corrections.
However, a number of Senate Democrats were dissatisfied with the budget's lack of action on combating the state's unemployment rate and unequal support for the state's public education system as reasons to not support the budget. The approved budget includes the following:
Roads and Infrastructure
Throughout the 2013 session, Senate Democrats argued that rebuilding the state's aging infrastructure would inject vital funding into local communities and reduce the cost of doing business for Hoosier companies. The budget diverts 1 percent of the sales tax and use tax for the General Fund to the Motor Vehicle Highway Funds – directing over $100 million in additional funding to local units each year. The proposal also creates the Major Moves 2020 Trust Fund, appropriating $200 million each year to be used for major highway expansion projects.
Education funding
Cut in the previous two budgets, Senate Democrats pushed to fully restore funding to Indiana public schools. While K-12 funding increases 2 percent over 2013 levels for 2014 and 1 percent in 2015, compared to 2011 funding, 183 schools will receive less in 2015 than they received in 2011. That's means more than half the state's schools will receive less funding in 2015 than they had four years earlier.
State universities
The state's institutions of higher education receive $215 million to fund new university building projects. The budget also allocates $66 million per year in the form of incentives for universities that meet certain performance metrics set out by the Commission on Higher Education.
The General Assembly declined to take action on enacting the federal health care reform in a way that works for Hoosiers. Since the onset of the 2013 legislative session, Senate Democrats brought to light the possibility of creating 30,000 new jobs, injecting billions of federal dollars into local communities and providing more than 400,000 uninsured working Hoosiers with medical services through the enactment of health care reform.
Language included in the budget bill, HEA 1001, transfers $250M in FY 14 to the Medicaid Contingency and Reserve Account. HEA 1001 also provides that FSSA may not implement a waiver or Medicaid state plan until they have developed a sustainable financing plan for a Medicaid state plan amendment or waiver and plan has been reviewed by State Budget Committee. In addition, HEA 1001 authorizes the governor, with budget committee review, to negotiate with the federal government to receive Medicaid block grants.
The latest on the status of federal health care reform in Indiana>>
In an unprecedented expansion of the nation's largest voucher program, lawmakers narrowly approved language loosening the program's eligibly requirements this session. Rejected by Senate Democrats, HEA 1003 will extend vouchers to any student who lives in an attendance zone with a failing school or has a sibling already participating in the program. In addition, the legislation permanently lifts the cap on the number of vouchers and increases eligibility to those earning up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
Senate Democrats opposed the expansion plan and pointed to the $113 million price tag associated with the current program as reason for a more cautious approach. The state revenue used to pay for the voucher program is diverted directly from the state's public schools.
Senate Democrats successfully secured a commitment to study the impact of the voucher program including who receives vouchers, the performance of schools accepting vouchers and the appropriate limit for state funded scholarships for private education.
The budget bill requires the State Budget Agency and the Department of Revenue to estimate choice scholarship distributions and caps transfer from state tuition reserve fund per year at $25M. HEA 1003 amends the definition of voucher to require an individual or sibling of the individual to receive a scholarship granting organization (SGO) of at least $800 in a prior school year as well as meet 150% of free and reduced lunch program income requirement. (Current definition does not specify the dollar amount of SGO an individual must receive or allow a sibling to be eligible for a voucher). In addition, HEA 1003 increases amount of a voucher for grades 1-8 at $4,700 in FY 2014 and $4,800 in FY 2015.
Approved by a narrow vote in the Senate, provisions in HEA 1427 delays the adoption of Common Core standards and tests while the State Board of Education considers a report from a summer legislative study committee charged with reviewing the standards, and a report from the state office of Management and Budget on the costs to the state and school corporations of implementing the standards. Currently, first grade and kindergarten are already administering Common Core.
If Common Core standards are halted, Indiana schools could lose their Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Flexibility waiver, and would be placed back under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requirements. Such requirements dictate that schools must reach adequate yearly progress toward 100% proficiency in testing by 2014. According to the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, 444 Indiana schools this year would drop from an "A" or "B" to a "C" grade, and half of the state's high schools would be capped at a "C" grade as a result of losing the flexibility waiver. Additionally, if Indiana were to lose its NCLB waiver as a result of halting the implementation of Common Core standards, the U.S. Department of Education could begin to withhold funding, including funds used to help schools with a disproportionate number of low-income students.
The Common Core standards were initiated in 2008 by the National Governor's Association and the National Superintendents Association, and have been adopted by 46 other states to align high-quality curriculum nationwide. Opponents of the standards argue that they handcuff the state's ability to set educational metrics independent of other states.
In an effort to improve student safety, lawmakers approved legislation that will provide state grants to hire and train school resource officers around the state. Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 1, co-authored by Sen. Jim Arnold, requires that a school resource officer, often a former or active police officer, to receive 40 hours of special training to work in a school environment. The officers will be charged with keeping the school secure, as well as helping to educate and counsel the students on a daily basis. The state budget provides $20 million over the biennium for Secured School Safety Grants including a maximum grant of $50,000 per school corporation or charter school that has an ADM of at least 1,000 and is not applying jointly; $35,000 per year, in the case of a school corporation or charter school that has an ADM of less than 1,000 and is not applying jointly; and $50,000 per year, in the case of a coalition of schools applying jointly.
Included in the new law is a provision that makes it an option for schools to hire a school resource officer.
Controversial language was removed from the bill that would have mandated at least one properly-trained employee in each school to carry a loaded weapon if the school resource officer was not on campus. Instead, the new law provides for a summer study committee to research other safety measures schools could initiate.
HEA 1423 provides a clearer definition of bullying and clarifies how schools must address bullying incidents through the implementation of prevention programs and increased accountability procedures.
Following a number of high-profile child abuse cases around the state, legislators initiated a review of the Department of Child Services (DCS). That review, taken on by members of the Department of Child Services Interim Study Committee last summer, received hundreds of hours of testimony over four months, and ultimately a set of recommendations to improve oversight and ensure adequate protections were crafted.
Read more on DCS study committee>>
A number of those recommendations were adopted this session. SEA 125, coauthored by State Senator John Broden, establishes two oversight committees, the Commission on Improving the Status of Children in Indiana and the Child Services Oversight Committee. The commission will serve as an umbrella organization, studying issues concerning vulnerable youth and reviewing future legislation. The oversight committee will review and assess data from DCS and make annual assessments of the department's performance. The proposal also enables each county to employ local child fatality review teams to investigate, report, and relay data on any child deaths.
Budget drafters largely took a pass on one critical issue raised by the summer study committee under persistent protest from Senate Democrats. Led by Leader Tim Lanane, Senate Democrats pointed to the absence of language allowing mandatory reporters – including teachers, law enforcement officers and medical personnel – to contact and report child abuse and neglect directly to local DCS offices. The ability for mandatory reporters to report locally was part of a bipartisan compromise crafted during the summer study committee to address issues raised about the ineffectiveness of DCS's centralized hotline.
SEA 142 extends the length of time a victim of child sexual abuse may bring charges against an offender. Under the act, a victim has until the longer of either seven years after the offense occurred or four years after the victim leaves the care of the offender. Providing these individuals more time to file suits for these offenses gives them the chance to mature, leave the dependency of the offender and find their voice in order to air their grievances
SEA 164 allows a juvenile court to authorize the filing of a petition by a prosecutor that a child is in need of state services. The act is designed to assist children who may not receive adequate care in the areas of physical or mental health. This is particularly important for children with distinct health care needs that are going untreated.
SEA 305 seeks to strengthen and streamline standards for child care providers throughout Indiana. The new quality and safety standards apply to establishments that are licensed and accept federal Child Care Development Fund vouchers as a form of payment.
Five years of study went into crafting comprehensive legislation to reform the state's sentencing laws. HEA 1006 expands the current four-level felony penalty classification system to a six-level system. The proposal requires felons to receive at least 75 percent of their sentences (instead of 50 percent under current law), and will ease sentencing for non-violent offenders by proposing sentences other than incarceration.
The intent of this proposal is to lower the high costs of incarceration in the state by keeping the most violent offenders in prison, while also providing a better system of handling low-level offenders and drug abusers through community corrections and treatment programs.
A number of decisions will be left to a summer study committee that will examine advisory sentences, suspended sentences, criminal justice funding, recidivism, and other issues related to sentencing.
HEA 1482 will allow individuals to expunge records of an arrest that was not prosecuted or of a conviction that was overturned on appeal. In addition, misdemeanor convictions and minor Class D felony convictions may be expunged under certain circumstances.
A proposal to delay action and deny state assistance on a project to build the Rockport Synthetic Natural Gasification Plant gained approval during the 2013 legislative session. The proposal aimed to protect ratepayers from incurring increases at the expense of a contract set up between the state and Leucadia, the corporation backing the project. In the original contract, Indiana would serve as the buyer of 80 percent of the plant's product at a predetermined rate. If the market failed to meet that rate, the difference would have been made up at the expense of rate-payers.
SEA 115 requires state universities to establish a "combat to College" program. Through the program, vets on campus will be provided with centralized locations for admissions, registration and financial services, academic guidance programs, and job search assistance. The act also requires reasonable accommodations at university fitness facilities for disabled vets and counseling services for vets diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Veterans returning from service will benefit under SEA 177 by becoming eligible for resident college tuition rates if they enroll at an Indiana public university with 12 months of an honorable discharge. Vets are eligible regardless of whether they have previously lived in Indiana, or if attending college is their sole reason for moving to the state. Student vets have 12 months from their time of enrollment to provide proof of Indiana residency to receive the benefits.
SEA 290 provides the Indiana Emergency Medical Services Commission the ability to issue licenses to military service applicants who have prior experience in medical service fields with minimal re-training. Applicants must pass certification tests, with possible additional training required.
SEA 153 establishes the conditions under which a child who is employed or works as a youth athletic program referee, umpire, or official is exempt from the requirements of the state's child labor law. These conditions include:
- The child is at least 12 years of age.
- The child is certified as a referee, umpire, or official by a national certification program.
- The child is a referee, umpire, or official for an age bracket younger than the child's own age.
SEA 162 requires corporations receiving incentives to submit an annual progress report to the IEDC and to include the projected number of employees hired versus the amount of jobs actually created and an expected amount of financial investment. In addition, the act provides that incentive funds will be revoked if the company does not meet conditions specified in the incentive contract.

The weather may have dropped a bomb on the 25th anniversary of the Santa Cruz Paddle Fest but longtime competitor Vincent Shay says it couldn't spoil the festivities for the surf kayakers and standup paddlers who came to the infamous break at Steamer's Lane last weekend to paddle and party.
Though Shay, a boat designer and outfitter based in San Luis Obispo, Calif., admits the paddling wasn't anything to write home about, he was inspired by the participants' willingness to take to the water despite the "really cold, windy and ugly" conditions. In the end, Shay says the stoke at Santa Cruz was much the same as when he started participating in 2000.
"I think surf kayaking is unique because the people will go out and have fun in stuff like that," says Shay, who dropped out of the men's high performance competition after Friday's sufferfest. "As a board surfer I'd take one look and turn around and leave."
For the first time in event history, the gusty, 40-50 mph winds and jumbled waves were nasty enough to cancel Sunday's portion of the competition. Top performers on Friday and Saturday were Galen Licht and Kate Duncan in the men's and women's high performance class, Dan Crandall in the master's open, and Rachel Krugman in the women's international class, while overall SUP winners included Frank Knight (surfing) and Zane Schweitzer (shootout).
Meanwhile, Shay says he was most impressed by the efforts of veteran surf kayaker Jim Grossman, who claimed the men's international class title. For Shay, Grossman's "fearlessness" sums up the Santa Cruz experience. "[He] was on fire," says Shay. "I have so much respect for that guy. He's been in the sport as long as anyone and he still goes out and has fun."

Policy Analysis Practicum
The Policy Analysis Practicum is the Price MPP capstone, in which students apply skills and knowledge gained throughout the program to a real-world policy issue and gain practical consulting experience in policy analysis. Students work in small teams to conduct research and identify policy-based opportunities on behalf of a client.
Clients are recruited by the instructor, and group assignments are made based on an assessment of student skills and interests. Most projects employ a mixed-methodology approach that reflects the breadth of the Price MPP curriculum. Projects integrate quantitative methods (statistical analysis, operations research, or cost-benefit analysis) and qualitative methods such as interviewing, focus groups, and archival research.
Explore Recent Practicum Projects | Selected Practicum Project Archive
About the MPP Practicum Course
The Practicum is conducted over two semesters to allow for an iterative process of research, analysis and presentation. In September, student groups meet with the client to begin scoping the project. Students work independently to conduct a review of published literature on the assigned topic and collaborate to structure a proposal/work plan. Research continues into the spring semester. Work is supervised by program instructors, however students are expected to meet independently with the client. Group activities constitute about 10 hours per week of consulting time in the fall and 30 hours per week in the spring.
Deliverables include a review and proposal (to be approved by the client), a draft report to instructors (mid-April), and a draft report to the client. In early May, student groups will make a formal PowerPoint presentation and deliver the final report and a summary brief of findings. The client receives a well-written and professional policy report with accompanying documents.
MPP Practicum Clients
Past clients include non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, private firms, and government agencies.
In 2015, practicum clients included: the California Foundation for Commerce and Education, California School Finance Authority, California Senate Advisory Commission on Cost Control in State Government, The City Project, Civic Resource Group, Congressional Research Service, Council for Watershed Health, Fundar, Innovate Public Schools, Presidio Trust Group, Price Philanthropies/Copley-Price Family YMCA, ProCDMX, United Nations: Division for Public Administration and Development Management, United States Government Accountability Office, and the Youth Policy Institute.

Student Government
Associated Students of University of Hawai'i -Leeward Community College (ASUH-Leeward CC)
Campus Center Building, 2nd floor next to the Student Lounge
Phone: 455-0560
Office Hours: TBD
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Facebook: www.facebook.com/leewardSG
ASUH-Leeward CC is governed by an Executive Board comprised of the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. They oversee five Senators who were elected by the Associated Students of Leeward CC. Student Government represents the Associated Students of Leeward CC to administration and system-wide. They advocate for students concerns and needs. Their major responsibilities include the budgeting and management of the student activities fees, advocating student needs at the campus and system level, and the establishing of policies and programs for students.
Terms of all offices are for one year. The ASUH-Leeward CC Constitution allows students with a GPA of 2.0 or better to run for office. All students are eligible (and encouraged) to vote.
Please visit the office if you have questions or concerns. Please check here for updates.
To all students, Student Government needs your help! Graduation is upon us and many of our members are moving on with their education. We need students who are able and willing to voice the opinion of their fellow students. Student Government is more than just a body of students. It's a body of student leaders whose interest and goal are to better the service of students here at Leeward. Leeward is fortunate to have faculty and staff who are more than willing to listen to the voice of the students so servicing students becomes a fairly simple matter. Administration has also granted permission for Student Government members to sit on many of their committees which allows us to further our impact on student services.
Recycling Bins
Hey did you see them!? Did you see them!? The recycling bins have finally arrived at Leeward! The Student Government is so overjoyed because we've been pushing for recycling bins for about 3 years and we've finally achieved this goal!
Although Student Government had done research and talked about these bins many times, we couldn't have done it without the help of administration. Much praise goes to Vice Chancellor, Mark Lane, and his staff Joy Soma and Sandy Maeda for doing much of the research and paperwork to attain these bins. Without their help, these bins would never have been procured.
We also thank the students for supporting us and showing great concern for these recycle bins. Had the students not shown interest then we wouldn't have pushed so hard for these bins.
Scantron Service
The Student Government is proud to announce the start of our new service for scantrons! We started this service so that students would be able to get free scantrons instead of having to purchase a pack of scantrons when you only need one. Swing by our office that's located at Campus Center 205 next to the Student Lounge, and present a valid student ID card. Tell us which class you are getting the scantron for and you'll receive one scantron per exam. Check out our hours for when we're in our office so you can get your scantron.
The scantrons come from divisions who generously donated them to us. They also come from students who purchased them, but didn't need to use them. This service isn't permanent because it's based on donation of scantrons. If you have extra ones and aren't planning on using them, please donate your scantrons to us so that another student can use them. Let's keep the service going!
Aloha Students!
Aloha Students of Leeward! Welcome back to another exciting semester of college. Hope you all had a great summer! To all those students who took summer classes, we give you kudos for hanging in there. Hopefully by now you were able to enjoy the rest of your break and are ready for the fall semester.

Comments and Initiatives from the Student Government Talk Story Session
From the ASUH-Leeward Community College Student Government,
Aloha and Mahalo to all the students who came out to the Student Government Talk Story Session that was held on October 17th, 2012. Thanks to your participation not in just this event, but in other events, Student Government and Student Life received a commendation from the accreditation team for our work here at Leeward Community College. This would not have been possible if all of you had not participated in our activities. Your attendance gives us confidence that our work is reflecting student' opinions rather than our own ideals.
For those who participated in our Talk Story Session, here is the list of comments that were expressed and the initiatives that Student Government will take in Spring 2013.
Improving Leeward from Within
Accreditation... what is it? As a high school student, you might have heard the word accreditation, but you might not have understood what it exactly does for you when it comes to your education. It's now time for you to know what accreditation is all about.
Accreditation is more than just a word, it's a grading of a college's/ school's credibility. A college wants to keep it's credibility in order to receive more money from the government and to get more students to come to its campus rather than a different college. Why is this relevant to you? There are a couple reasons to why accreditation is important to you as students. First off, if a college is found to be credible, then it will allow them to offer more classes than a non-accredited college. The second reason is the most important part of accreditation for students. A student who graduates from a credible college is able to get into any college of the their choice.
February 28 & March 2, 2017 Minutes are posted!
Hey! Check out the minutes from our weekly meetings!
Remembering 9/11
For the last 200 years America suffered various attacks and has been a victim of terrorism in many instances. Terrorism has been used to achieve political ends and has developed as a tool for liberation, oppression and international global politics. It's an instrument for religious and political extremisms and hate that justifies the use of terror by agitators. Specifically, in the last 100 yrs, we suffered the attack on American soil in 1941 with the bombing of Pearl Harbor by an extremist political entity causing us to go to war and afterwards…..America came back. Between the '60's and 80's terrorism was used to expose a personal cause and further issues for a specific movement. The World Trade Center in '1993, US military HQ's in Saudi Arabia in 1996, a temple in Kenya Africa in 1998, and 2 U. S.

HELP Restore Rights to Concealed Weapons License Holders in Florida
Includes Concealed Weapons License Open-Carry, Campus-Carry, Guns-In-Vehicles and Purchase of Long Guns in other states
DATE: March 6, 2011
TO: USF & NRA Members and Friends
FROM: Marion P. Hammer
USF Executive Director
NRA Past President
Senate Bill 234, introduced by state Senator Greg Evers (R-2), has been scheduled to be heard in the Senate Criminal Justice Committee on Wednesday March 9 at 3:15pm.
SB 234 would make three much-needed changes to the Florida "Right-to-Carry" law -- also known as the Concealed Weapons Licensing law and it would also conform Floridas firearms purchase law with federal law.
This bill basically does the four following things:
1. Provides that concealed weapons license holders may also carry openly -- to prevent license holders from being charged with the crime of violating the "Open Carry" law because a concealed firearm accidentally or inadvertently became visible.
2. Removes the prohibition against concealed weapons license holders carrying firearms on college and university campuses for lawful self-defense.
3. Provides that concealed weapons license holders may store a firearm in a private vehicle anywhere the vehicle is lawfully parked except those places that are exempted under s. 790.251(7) -- the parking lot law.
4. Removes the obsolete law restricting firearms purchases to contiguous states, previously required by federal law for out of state purchases of long guns, and replaces it with language to conform to current federal requirements that allows purchase of long guns in other states.
You must act quickly. URGENT! This Committee Must Hear From You!
PLEASE IMMEDIATELY EMAIL members of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee -- They NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU NOW!
In the subject line put:
SUPPORT SB 234 -- RESTORE Rights to CW License Holders
(Block and Copy All email addresses into the "Send To" box)
# 1. The open carry provision addresses the problem of an accidental or unintentional exposure of a firearm being carried by a concealed weapons license holder. As silly as it may sound, if a license holder is carrying a concealed firearm and the wind blows a jacket or shirt open exposing the firearm, the person can be charged with a crime for violating the open carry law. Anytime a license holder accidentally or unintentionally exposes the firearm whether reaching for something on a top shelf or bending over to pick up something, he/she can be charged with a crime. This bill fixes that problem.
The cries of anti-gunners with predictions of horrible things resulting from "open carry" are pure nonsense. Adding the provision of open carry for concealed weapons license holders will NOT present problems. While some gun haters may not want to remove this needless restriction, there have been no problems in other states.
According to the anti-gun Brady Campaign, 46 states allow open carry. Of those, 34 states allow open carry without a permit or license while 12 states require a permit to carry openly. (FLORIDA TODAY 1/7/2011, Change Would Relax Handgun Law - Byline: Kaustuv Basu)
What the spokesperson (Brian Malte, State Legislative Director) for the Brady Campaign -- the national gun ban group -- said is that open carry COULD BE TROUBLESOME. He said "Open carrying of loaded guns is problematic for public safety and for law enforcement. It is frightening to see people carrying loaded weapons in urban and suburban environments."
What the Brady Campaign fails to report is that open carry is not now, nor has it ever been a problem. Only four states, including Florida, prohibit open carry. It's time to remove this unnecessary government restriction in Florida.
Adding "open carry" for concealed weapons license holders to the law to avoid the "open carry" glitch doesn't mean they will carry openly.
There is also a provision that allows persons to carry firearms on college and university campuses if they are licensed by the state to carry a concealed weapon or firearm. Remember, only persons over 21 years old can obtain a license. A license holder's right to self-defense should not stop when they drive or walk onto a college or university campus. College and university campuses that arrogantly ban adults having guns are dangerous for students, faculty and administrator -- Gun Free Zones are safe havens for rapists, murders and other criminals.
When the University of Florida's current president, Bernie Machen, was president of the University of Utah, he sued the state claiming the University had the right to ban guns on campus. He used University funds and tax dollars and he lost that fight when the Utah Supreme Court ruled against him.
It has since been reported in the Ft. Myers Examiner:
"Since the fall semester of 2006, Utah state law has allowed licensed individuals to carry concealed handguns on the campuses of Utahs nine degree-offering public colleges (20 campuses) and one public technical college (10 campuses).
Concealed carry has been allowed on the two campuses of Colorado State University (Fort Collins and Pueblo) since 2003 and at Blue Ridge Community College (Weyers Cave, VA) since 1995.
After allowing concealed carry on campus for a combined total of 124 semesters (as of June 2010), an average of over five years per school, none of these twelve schools has seen a single resulting incident of gun violence (including threats and suicides), a single gun accident, or a single gun theft."CARRY ON COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY CAMPUS:
To read the article click here.
#3. This bill simply says that if a person has a concealed weapons license, nothing shall prohibit the carry or storage of a firearm in a vehicle -- except the exemptions in the Florida parking lot law.
For example, many of you will remember the case last summer of a cemetery that arbitrarily banned guns on cemetery property.
And you'll remember the distraught father, who had already buried his son (who had been killed in auto crash) in that cemetery. The father has a concealed weapons license and always carries a firearm in his truck and frequently visits his son's grave.
Advised of the new gun ban by the cemetery, the father was given three choices: (1) stop carrying a firearm in his vehicle, (2) face arrest for trespassing with a firearm (a felony) or (3) move his son's body to another cemetery (which might later ban guns as well). Those choices are outrageous. This bill fixes that outrageous denial of Second Amendment rights.
#4. This bill repeals the obsolete language in s. 790.28, which limits purchase of rifles and shotguns to contiguous states and replaces it with language that will make it possible for Florida residents to purchase rifles and shotguns in non-contiguous states.
In 1979, s. 790.28 was passed to conform to federal law. At the time, federal law required the contiguous state language to be passed in order for residents to be able to exercise their right to purchase long guns in adjoining states.
Federal law has since changed to allow the purchase of long guns in any state through a licensed federal firearms dealer. However, in order for Florida residents to be able to exercise those rights, s. 790.28 must be repealed and conforming language must be added to Floridas statutes. This bill does that.
Please contact the members of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee and urge them to support SB 234.

I just read the update from Florida Open Carry
It's always been a pet peeveof mine when people use personal tragedies like Ashley Cowie's story to advance their own unrelated political agendas.
..and don't get me started on the mandatory CCW badges.
I'll keep writing letters.

She's one. I can hardly believe how quickly this year has gone. Here's Kate the morning of her birthday in her new dress.
Kate is holding Pete's baby, which was John's baby. Both boys went through a brief phase of playing with that doll when I was pregnant and had a newborn. It was important, I thought, for them to be able to act out what they were thinking about the baby with the doll. The doll has otherwise sat around the house, not being played with. A few weeks ago Kate discovered it and fell in love. That doll goes with her everywhere. The obvious choice for her birthday was another baby doll. She was thrilled.
I stayed up too late tonight drafting a little doll dress pattern and sewing it up. Now Kate and her baby can match. I could just squeal with the cuteness of it all.

5 Gallon Fluval Chi
Hi! I got this tank a couple months ago but recently decided to do a rescaping with purpose so set this up a couple weeks ago. This is my first try at aquascaping (and really my first fish tank) so criticism is VERY welcome
5 gallon Fluval Chi tank
Finnex 26 watt clip on light
10,000-30,000k bulb
ZooMed 501 canister filter
Tetra 15 watt heater
Anubias Barteri 'Nana'
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Taxiphyllum barbieri
Hygrophila difformis
Cryptocoryne wendtii v. 'red'
Super delta betta
Zebra thorn snail
Amano shrimp
Malawa shrimp
Currently dosing Flourish once a week and Flourish Excel daily. Pictures are taken with phone, so they aren't the best atm, haha.
All the anacharis is temporary just to have something to help prevent excess algae growth while everything is new. And floating stuff is there just cause Loki likes to hide in it.
Finnex clip on light
ZooMed 501 behind the tank
I originally wanted to put driftwood where that rock in the center is but couldn't find any that I liked when I was setting this up. Luckily flood season just ended here and I was able to go hunt for some. I found this piece that I think would look good if I chopped it up a bit.
Right now I'm thinking the driftwood is my best bet to make it look a bit better because everything is so short right now compared to the height of the tank.
looking nice and i agree that it needs some hieght try the driftwood and maybe add some valisneria
Throw some twiggy driftwood in there and it'll look great. I'm not a fan of doing tall plants in a small tank. Throws off the scale too much.
Beautiful tank, and my Betta's name is Thor, so they're brothers!
Thanks for the suggestions/compliments. I'm currently boiling the driftwood to put in. We'll see how that turns out before I add anymore background plants :icon_wink
@Dishy: Norse gods ftw!
So my anacharis has been slowly melting over the past couple days (I thought it was just new plant syndrome) but this morning it was so far gone I had to pull it. Did some reading and apparently excel kills certain plants and inverts so I'm gonna start dosing every other day instead and see how that works. On the bright side the HC is starting to carpet :D
Yeah I heard that Excell also affects Pogostemon helferi (downoi). Let's see if I finally get that plant which by the way I have no luck finding, and see how it does in my tank. I have the same tank as you and the light I think is the same too.
Driftwood was finally ready so I added it in and took out that rock.
I'm not set on how to position it yet. Any ideas? I also have a couple more small spindly pieces I could throw in. The HC is growing, but some bits are also turning yellow. Hoping it's NTS but just in case I started dosing smaller amounts of excel daily and have the light on a timer for 8 hours a day. DIY co2 parts are also coming in the mail and should be here by wednesday. All other plants are growing very well so far.
How do you like the Finnex light? I'm looking into buying one for my nano tank.
Thanks to Diana I found a wood setup that I like and looks more natural in the scape. I'm thinking of getting some more java moss to tie around the top parts of the branches to make it look kind of windswept. Other than that it's time to just wait and let it grow in.
It really looks better comparing the first one and most recent one!
looks very nice! much better with wood
Thanks guys!

Einstein famously said that imagination is more important than knowledge, which is why he also famously referred to the moon as "the night sun." Train your brain with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $49 for a 1.5-hour beginners' art lesson (a $250 value)
- $89 for a three-hour intermediate art lesson (a $350 value)
During beginners' classes taught by award-winning artist, students learn to sketch in black and white with a pencil, focusing on composition, technique, and perspective. Intermediate lessons teach painting techniques using acrylics, watercolors, and oils. Pupils in these classes create a painted nature scene. Both classes may vary in size, but will never exceed more than three students at a time. All students also receive a complimentary print signed by Steven Jordan.

Art may be a subjective experience, but with more than 100 regional and national awards, Steven Jordan's talent is indisputable. A master of watercolor, mixed media, and oils, Jordan's creativity knows few bounds, and his paintings have appeared in nationally published art books, as well as on TV and film. Steven has even painted his own van to look like a giant bumblebee. Customers can also commission work from Steven at an additional cost. The South Carolina native now frequently judges art competitions, gives lectures to organizations and strangers in the grocery line, and teaches classes and workshops.

Ben Affleck Unwinds After a Long Day at Work
Wrapping up his busy work day, Ben Affleck made a stop at a local Starbucks in Brentwood, CA on Monday (November 19).
The "Argo" actor looked handsome in dark pants, a maroon sweater, and a blazer, as he did his best to avoid the waiting shutterbugs.
In related news, Ben was recently named "Filmmaker of the Year" by GQ magazine.
While talking to the mag, the 40-year-old Hollywood hunk opened up about being a director, saying, "I appreciate the fact that I get to do it, and I work really, really hard. I went into it thinking, 'I'm new at this,' but I also went into it with a healthy sense that I needed to succeed, and the one thing I could control was to work as hard or harder than anyone else."
Enjoy the pictures of Ben Affleck out and about in Brentwood, CA (November 19).
