Chase Utley, #27
August 25, 2007
Tonight's Lineup
Rollins, ss; Iguchi, 2b; Burrell, lf; Howard, 1b; Rowand, cf; Dobbs, 3b; Werth, rf; Ruiz, c; Lohse, p.
Pitching shuffle continues as Brian Sanchez was designated for assignment and John Ennis, a 28-year-old right-hander who has been pitching as a reliever and starter at Ottawa, was added to the roster. He has 13 big league games in his career path, 12 with the Tigers and the other with the 2002 Braves.
Just haven't seen such a pitching funk as we are currently experiencing. But, you play today and put yesterday in the waste basket.
Eaton Rehab
Adam returned to the mound last night, starting the first game of a Reading Phillies twi-nighter against the Akron Aeros.
He gave up two runs on two hits and a hit batter in the first inning and threw much better in the second. He was on a 40-pitch maximum and the two-inning stint got him to 38. Radar had him at 88-92.
He's 5-0 in his career against the Mets and could be on the Citizens Bank Park mound next week when they are here for a four-game series.
Utley Rehab
A packed house showed up for the twin-bill which included Chase Utley's first game action since breaking his right hand. Fans came equipped with cameras and photographed him during each at-bat. When his name was mentioned by the PA announcer, the crowd roared the loudest.
Utley had skipped Reading and AA ball in his ladder to the majors so this was his first appearance at FirstEnergy Stadium. In six at-bats, he had a ground ball single to right. His first five at-bats came against lefties. The very first pitch he saw from Shawn Nottingham was up and in. Chase didn't flinch.
It was strange seeing Utley in the Reading uniform, which for the night was a red jersey and pinstripe pants. He wore 27 (Chris Coste's Reading number earlier this season). He couldn't wear his normal #26 as that has been retired by the Reading Phillies for Ryne Sandberg. One other Reading number has been retired, #24, worn by Mike Schmidt when he broke in pro ball in 1971.
Chase's single came in his second at-bat in the first game, a hard ground ball between first and second. First base coach Greg Gross kidded Chase, "Your first hit in double-A. Do you want the ball?"

I bought into the game purchasing it on Steam Early Access. So far I think it has a lot of potential and I want to support Simon Roth et. al. as much as possible.
See attached, this is a save game of my 4th attempt at a colony, I think I've covered the basics, some people are a bit worse for wear but I think I gave them too much to build too quickly and they are worn out, lol.
Anyway, I thought I would submit because this save game has two big bugs that I've noticed, one is that there is a person stuck near the inside entrance to the airlock, they won't move at all and they have been standing there a while now.
Also, if I load the game and leave it running, the game crashes every time I've tried it (about 5 times) after about 3 to 5 minutes.
So, if you want to investigate some bugs load this save file and it should crash the game on demand after a short wait (no need to interact with anything), so I hope this helps debugging.
Regards, Renegade.
Edit: Looks like the attachment did not upload (.bin is not allowed, tried a zip but that was too large too). Although I've been experimenting, I think the problem is the Livestock room, I noticed a massive number of chickens, so I deleted the Livestock room, it's an invasion of chickens! but the game did not crash again, and some time later the stuck person eventually moved.
Edit again: just read an article and posted in another thread about the infinite chicken spawn "ammusing" feature, which has totally put me off this game at least for a while. WHY would Simon leave a bug like this in there which makes the game unplayable after an hour or so? Why would anyone do such a thing? makes no sense to me what so ever, sorry, I'm out for a while.
Starter colony, but someone near airlock is stuck (bug rep)

Woman's head and hands missing
Victim's name: Karen Pineda Nelson, 29
Where body found: Morgan County
Investigative agency: Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office
Date missing: Nov. 29, 1989
Cause of death: Undetermined
Suspect: husband Charles Ray Nelson
The killer took extraordinary measures to insure 29-year-old Karen Pineda Nelson would never be identified.
He used clean cuts to sever her head and hands from her body.
He headed north from Nelson's farm home near Strasburg along County Road F and pulled over about 12 miles south of Fort Morgan, according to a report in The Fort Morgan Times.
He pulled her body out of the vehicle just above a borrow pit on the north side of the road in thick brush, the report says.

We can't stop laughing over the upcoming documentary, Mansome. The Morgan Spurlock-directed flick (Super-Size Me, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold) delves into the world of male grooming and what it means to be a man today.
And buh-lieve us, there's plenty of manscaping talk in it.
The docu features a slew of stars including Cosmo's 2011 Fun Fearless Male honoree Isaiah Mustafa and our own editor-in-chief Kate White, who dishes on how women feel about dudes who groom.
The movie hits theaters this weekend, and you can check out the trailer below.

Nearly a third of small business owners suffer from significant customer service issues with phone and broadband providers, according to a Market Clarity report (PDF) released by the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN).
Market Clarity interviewed 260 small businesses with less than 20 staff across 14 vertical industry segements. Many reported "significant customer service problems such as difficulty in contacting their provider, being on hold, getting a problem resolved or having to call multiple times".
Such problems were reported by 46 per cent of fixed services users, 29 per cent of VoIP users, 32 per cent of fixed broadband users, 33 per cent of mobile voice users, 21 per cent of mobile broadband users and 11 per cent of Eftpos users, the report said.
Still, most business customers said they were mostly satisfied with their telecom services, the report said. Satisfaction was reported by 88 per cent of fixed voice users, 90 per cent of VoIP users, 88 per cent of fixed broadband users, 88 per cent of mobile voice users, 89 per cent of mobile broadband users and 95 per cent of Eftpos users.
"However, study findings suggest that factors beyond service reliability feed into respondent's overall service satisfaction," the report said. "In a number of cases, respondents reported overall service satisfaction even where they experienced regular service faults (at least monthly), which would have the potential of a severe or catastrophic business impact if the outage lasted for a full day."
Also, the report found that half of the small businesses interviewed had no backup plan in the case of broadband outages, even though 32 per cent said that even a one-hour fixed broadband outage would have a "catastrophic" impact on business.
"This is clearly an area where education could reduce small business' risk exposure," said Market Clarity's chief executive, Shara Evans. "For instance, small businesses could buy a mobile broadband 'dongle', or consider getting a fixed broadband service from multiple providers, across diverse technologies."
ACCAN said the report highlights unacceptable customer service problems for telecom used by small business.
"While the majority of small businesses are satisfied with their telecommunications services, they are experiencing higher levels of faults than is ideal," ACCAN said in a foreword to the report.
"These outages — even if they are for a short duration — can have a catastrophic impact on a small business. Compounding these issues are the problems that some small business owners have in resolving faults when they arise, even though most are paying for business grade services."

Seeing the Digital Light
Television is something we all know and love -- sometimes without good reason. Critics routinely argue that shows like Temptation Island and WWF Smackdown! have pushed us several steps down the evolutionary ladder, but people still watch them. One thing that has evolved is the technology for displaying video images. We're all familiar with the classic cathode-ray tube (CRT), an analog technology that's been around since TV's earliest days. The CRT served us well for over 50 years, but in this digital era, when video can be broken down into ones and zeros and routed through countless conduits, it's become something of a dinosaur.
Enter Digital Light Processing (DLP), a video display technology based on the proprietary Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) from Texas Instruments. Though DLP has been around for a few years, it's only recently started to gain recognition as movie theaters contemplate a move away from traditional film projection. A handful of theaters installed DLP systems to project the much-hyped Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace when it was released in 1999, and it continues to gain momentum. Worldwide, 30 theaters had made the switch at this writing in late March.
DLP is now starting to show up on the home front in the form of front and rear projectors. The advantage of a DLP-based display is that the video signal remains in the digital domain from the moment it enters the set until it's reflected as light onto the screen. DLP's fully digital signal path not only holds the promise of higher-quality images than CRTs currently deliver but also makes it the ideal display technology for folks who want to mix up their TV viewing with videogames and Web surfing.
Compared with CRT displays, which generate images using high-voltage electron guns and bulky glass tubes, the technology behind DLP is elegantly refined. At the heart of a DLP display is the DMD, an integrated circuit covered with an array of tiny mirrors. A lamp inside the set throws light at the DMD chip, and the mirrors pivot up to 50,000 times a second, switching between on and off states in which light is either reflected toward a projection lens or deflected toward light-absorbing material. The amount of time that each mirror, or pixel, reflects light at the lens determines the pixel's brightness -- that is, where it falls in the scale between black and white.
DLP displays handle color in two ways. In three-chip DLP projectors, which are found in movie theaters and a few ultra-expensive home installations, a prism splits the light from the lamp into red, green, and blue components. Each color is directed to a separate DMD chip, and the reflections are optically recombined before the image hits the projection lens. In less expensive one-chip models -- the kind intended for home use -- a rotating color wheel filters the light into red, green, and blue. Although the three separate beams are reflected off the DMD sequentially, the rate at which they flash onscreen is so fast that the eye perceives a full-color image.

This is my fourth look for the 2010/11 regular season at which teams have been hit hardest by injuries by trying to place a value on the games missed by players due to injury/illness. (Last month's analysis is HERE.)
The concept again - multiply each game missed by a player by his 2010/11 cap charge, then take the aggregate of these figures for each team and divide by 82. This indicator of value lost to a team by injury/illness is called CHIP (Cap Hit of Injured Players).
Alternatively...Again, for a different indicator of player "value", I've also illustrated a similar metric based on TOI/G alongside the CHIP numbers. Clearly, neither cap charge nor TOI/G are perfect measures of player value, since each have a number of limitations and inconsistencies, but they provide a decent comparison and the results do vary somewhat.
A quick summary of the alternative metric:
- TOI/G (through games played up to the All-Star break) replaces cap charge as the measure of value in the calculation
- For goalies, TOI/G has been worked out as Total Minutes Played / Games Dressed For* - i.e. a goalie playing every minute of 75% of the games, zero in the rest, would end up with a TOI/G of 45 minutes (or close to it, once you factor in OT and so on). [*Actually, "Games Played by Team - Games Missed by Goalie" - I'm not inclined to disentangle any three-goalie systems or minor-league conditioning stints.]
- This arguably overstates the worth of starting goalies somewhat, but it's simple and you could equally argue that a workhorse goalie is the hardest position to replace, so it's fair for them to have a much higher TOI/G figure
- Where a player hasn't played all year (several examples at this point of the season) or where a player fairly clearly has a reduced TOI/G figure due to getting injured in their only game or one of very few games, I've used TOI/G from last season (or further back if necessary)
- For each player, multiply games missed by TOI/G to get (for a more palatable name) Cumulative Minutes of Injured Player (CMIP)
- Take the aggregate of CMIP for the team and divide by games played by the team to arrive at AMIP (Average Minutes of Injured Players) - it feels more understandable expressing this metric as an average per game (whereas CHIP is a running total)
The table below shows:
- Total CHIP for each team for the 2010/11 regular season (through games played up to the All-Star break)
- The player who has contributed most to the team's CHIP figure
- The number of players with a CHIP contribution of over $250,000 (think of it as being equivalent to a $1m player missing 20 games or a $4m player missing five games)
- AMIP for each team over the same period (e.g. an AMIP of 40:00 could be seen as the team missing two 20-minute per game players for every game this season)
The Rangers' injury-fest continues, with Christensen, Girardi, Dubinsky, Fedotenko and Frolov all going down in January for varying lengths of time. Of the bigger movers elsewhere in the table, Chicago's remaining big-ticket players have stayed healthy recently, while Detroit (Datsyuk, Cleary, Holmstrom, Stuart) and last year's #1 CHIP team, Edmonton (Hemsky, Horcoff, Whitney, Eberle) are moving in the other direction.
The next lists are the top 30 individual CHIP and CMIP contributions:
Finally, another update of the crude injury-by-location analysis. Again, I've just used the descriptions found in the player profiles on tsn.ca, so the figures will encompass all the inaccuracies and vagueness within them. It should give a broad indication, if nothing else, though.
And as an extra, further final bonus, I introduce the Evasiveness Index. This is basically the proportion of injury instances for each team that have been described as either "Undisclosed" or the helpfully pointless "Upper/Lower Body" in the same TSN profiles. I have made no judgement about whether the many instances of "Illness" (i.e. concussion), "Flu" (i.e. concussion) or even "Boogaard Shoulder" (i.e. concussion) should also be included.
Arguably, we can see a weak correlation between the higher ratings and some of the smaller, southern markets with presumably less voraciously investigative media and fans, while two NY teams (OK, the Islanders perhaps a bad example...) and a cluster of Canadian teams are rated lower.
Clearly, a small sample size for Carolina so far, but a quick check back to last year shows the Rutherford/Maurice tag-team went a strong 23-for-37 then too (EI of 62.2), so maybe not just a freak number this year.
- Figures exclude a few minor-leaguers / marginal NHLers who are or had been on the NHL club's IR since pre-season. Generally, if a minor-leaguer gets called up and then injured in an NHL game, his games missed will then count towards the CHIP though. I've tried to exclude minor-league conditioning stints immediately after/during a period on IR from the man-games lost figures
- There are undoubtedly a few inaccuracies and inconsistencies in there - I do the best I can with the information out there. Some corrections are picked up month-to-month too
- The cap figure doesn't really correlate very well to the "worth" of a player in some cases, e.g. where rookie bonuses are included this year, where players are seeing out an old (underpaid or rookie) contract or where players are horrendously overpaid
- Also, for any player who was acquired on re-entry waivers (e.g. Sean Avery), the cap hit will only reflect that for their current team, i.e. 50% of the player's full cap hit (shared between his current and old teams)
- I've once again stuck a full team-by-team listing of games missed and CHIP/CMIP numbers by each player on the web HERE
- Injury/games/TOI info courtesy of tsn.ca and nhl.com - man-games lost info more than likely does not exactly match up with the "official" figures released by individual teams
- Cap info courtesy of capgeek.com

Residents as Teachers / TeachingStar
In June of the third year, the students begin a sequence of clerkships in internal medicine, general surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, geriatrics, and radiology. During this important phase of medical education, the students become virtually full-time inhabitants of the various public and private health care affiliates of the College. The students learn to take responsibility for patient care under supervision and, during this learning process, interact with attending physicians, residents, nurses, social workers, and physician assistants.
Learning experiences during clerkship training are very diverse and include conferences, seminars, lectures, demonstrations, ward rounds and grand rounds. But the essence of this training is, above all, interaction with patients in both inpatient and ambulatory patient environments. It is primarily through direct encounters with patients that students learn a systematic approach to patient care based upon accurate and comprehensive histories, thorough physical examinations, proper analysis and interpretation of laboratory and imaging data, understanding of disease mechanisms, formulation of rational therapeutic goals, and careful evaluation of treatment effectiveness.
While attending to the patient's medical problems, the students are also expected to be considerate and compassionate, appreciate the influence of sociocultural and economic factors on the patient and family, acquire understanding of ethical issues in clinical decision-making, and practice high standards of professional behavior.
At the end of year three, all students participate in a six-hour Clinical Skills Assessment, where faculty review each student's encounter and provide remedial assistance to students who do not achieve an acceptable level of clinical competence. Required clinical clerkships
Year 3
Patients, Doctors, and Communities
During the Ambulatory Care Program, students participate in the evaluation and therapy of adult or pediatric outpatients. Students in this program are expected to develop a sense of responsibility for continuity of patient care and appreciation of the special problems that confront the physician of first contact. Students can complete the program through a four-week experience in our Advanced Ambulatory Family Medicine, Ambulatory Medicine, or Ambulatory Pediatrics clerkships.
All students are required to do a one-month Core Subinternship in family medicine, medicine, or pediatrics as well as a one-month Selective Subinternship in family medicine, medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, or surgery. Functioning as an integral member of the patient-care team, the subintern assumes many of the responsibilities of a first-year resident under supervision of the resident and attending physician staff.
A one-month clerkship in Neurology rounds out the four months of required senior year courses.
A major part of the senior year is a seven-month elective period. Students choose from a wide selection of electives offered by virtually every department. Through the elective program, a student may choose to obtain additional subinternship experience, further training in ambulatory medicine and primary care, or participate in a research project. Electives in clinical specialties such as cardiology, infectious disease, endocrinology, dermatology, nephrology, gastroenterology, pulmonary medicine, and emergency medicine are very popular. Also available are programs in community medicine, drug abuse, alcoholism, and geriatrics. Students may arrange to take the elective in other medical schools in the United States or abroad. Funding may be available for students to travel abroad to participate in exchange programs with overseas medical schools or obtain clinical or research experience in less developed nations.
Highlights of the clinical curriculum include:
Every Einstein student writes a Scholarly Paper (SP) as a requirement for graduation. This can be an opportunity to learn about a new field or to delve more deeply into an established area of interest. Students can write a research paper, a basic science review, a formal systematic review, a case report, or a paper based on a bioethical issue in medicine or research. These papers can be based on global health experiences, bench work, or library research resulting in a systematic review of existing medical literature. Montefiore's Clinical Looking Glass is an existing data source that allows the student to explore clinical questions and can lead to an SP. Although SPs can take many forms, all students work with a mentor to develop their paper idea, write a paper proposal, and complete the SP.

BlueChipCustEng necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 125 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Blue Chip Customer Engineering
Established in 1987; Blue Chip Customer Engineering LTD is an international specialist IT support services company.
The company ethos to "Get the job done" is visible in all areas from the warehouse personnel, technical staff, accounts personnel, sales and management teams, this combined with our continual training and flexibility, has led to our continuing success.
We are the largest independent IBM Midrange specialist in the UK but also provide numerous other areas of expert specialist service and our focus is always on delivering extremely high levels of customer service.
Our market is entirely business to business, therefore we are trying to grab the attention of professionals in a fiercely competitive industry with clear, concise and informative page content whilst making contacting us/ submitting an enquiry as accessible and inviting as possible form a usability perspective.
We are looking to redesign our 'Contact Us' page entirely, whilst retaining a similar look and feel to other pages on the website, in order to increase the number of enquiries and sales leads we generate from this page.
Additionally, we would also like to see a more generic content page that could be used site wide (again this should not depart too much from the current design) and this must include design for drop down menus to appear along the primary navigation bar along the top of each page.
Key Points
1. The 'Contact Us' page design should aim to provide the necessary functionality already on the page in a more modern and enticing fashion whilst remaining true to the current general look of the website.
2. The generic content page must include a drop down menu box to appear when a headline category is hovered over in the horizontal menu across the top of the site. The options in the horizontal menu should see 'Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery', 'Managed Services & IT Outsourcing', Hardware Sales & Ad-hoc Services' and 'IBM Maintenance' replace the following options 'Testimonials', Careers', 'Partners' and 'Sponsorship' respectively.
3. Please feel free to use the images already on the website but any stock images must be declared.
4. The final project should be delivered as a layered .psd file as the final product (RGB) and a PDF version would be appreciated.
The two pages I would like designed are:
1. The 'Contact Us' page, in keeping with the current design across the website/ redesign for generic content page (see below).
2. A generic content page, which must include a design for a drop down menu to appear along the horizontal menu across the site. This design may ultimately be used as the template for all other pages on the site.
Contact Us Page:
This page should retain similar features to the rest of the website whilst improving upon the current 'actions' on the page. The calls to action should be more visible and more attractive to visitors arriving on this page. The main purpose of the page is to generate leads by obtaining information from visitors interested in our services and products.
General Content Page:
The content page should not depart from the current colour scheme of the website but we are open to the text within the left hand navigation being made more visible and images being moved around/ resized and content layout being altered.

Linking Payees to Your CashParking Account
CashParking accounts pay you for ads that display on your domain. If you aren't sure how all that works, check out CashParking FAQ.
The interesting part is getting paid, though. You probably want to get that set up so you can start getting money sent to you. We use a "payee" system to send money to customers; before starting here, we recommend setting up a payee (more info). You'll want to link that payee any time you setup a CashParking account.
Linking Your Payee to Your CashParking Account
- Log in to your GoDaddy account.
- Click CashParking.
- Next to the account you want to use, click Manage.
- Go to the CashParking tab.
- From the Settings menu, select Payee Settings.
- Select the Payee you want to receive your payments, and then click Save.

I've long believed that the number one source of stress experienced by home buyers is all the unpredictability that lies along the home buying timeline: the prospect of unpleasant surprises that seems to lurk around every corner.
Fact is, there are some commonly arising surprises that foul up buyers' plans and expectations, killing deals and leaving expectations dashed and emotions frayed in their wake. These days, that list includes everything from homes turning out to cost more than the home buyer expected to appraisals coming in below the agreed-upon purchase price.
Here's some good news: there are steps you can take to manage the risks of being taken by surprise while you're in the process of buying a home. As I see it, they fall into a handful of buckets.
Here are the five big categories of actions you can take right now to minimize your chances of having an unpleasant home buying surprise:
1. Study up. As a smart manager of your life and your finances, it's your duty to get as detailed a primer on the ins and outs of home buying as you need to feel comfortable and confident as you move forward with the process: what lenders require, the nuts and bolts of a purchase transaction, that sort of thing.
But when you're specifically seeking to minimize the risk of unpleasant surprises, you've got to take your real estate education to the next level, and study up on some very specific subject matter: your local market, in real-time. What I mean is that markets vary a lot from place to place, and individual real estate markets change very quickly.
If you're the sort of savvy buyer that's been stockpiling your cash for a year or more in preparation for buying, it's entirely possible that the market dynamics you'll face when you get out there will be very different from those dynamics which inspired you to buy in the first place. It's a pretty unpleasant surprise to expect to have your pick of the market, then lose out on the first few 'dream houses' you find to other offers.
Studying up on your local market empowers you to rejigger your search and offer strategies to be successful without having to first experience these sorts of traumas and dramas. It may also allow you to explore new alternatives for achieving the results you want, like buying via an online auction or Neighborhoods where homes lagged for months on end a couple of years ago are starting to seem some new life this spring, as buyers like you who have been waiting and saving have begun to sense the bottom of the market might actually have passed.
Anecdotally, I'm hearing many more local agents across the country reporting receiving 2 or 3 offers on homes they couldn't sell at all 18 months ago, and many more buyers reporting that the 'good' homes come on and off the market much more quickly than anytime in recent years.
But, again – this stuff is hyper-local. So ask your agent to help you understand the actual data of the housing market in the neighborhood(s) you'll be hunting in. Specifically, look at how the number of days a home stays on the market (DOM), inventory levels and the list price to sale price ratio have been trending over the last 6 months to 1 year. 2.
2. Team up. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of expertise and plain old help that goes untapped – and the avoidable stress and expense that are incurred – because home buyers don't even think to express certain concerns to their real estate and mortgage pros.
If there are particular potential surprises or other issues that keep you up at night, you should clearly express those to your team of real estate and mortgage professionals, and enlist their help in keeping them at bay.
Obviously, not all surprises are within your real estate agent or mortgage broker's power to prevent; and many of the risks that you worry about are things they're surely already making their best efforts to manage. But if your team knows that your closing cost cash is to-the-penny tight, or that your move-in timeline is hair-trigger touchy, that knowledge might inspire them to call in favors like a free rate-lock extension from their rep at your lender, or to set up a strategic solution, like negotiating your ability to move in a few days before closing.
This knowledge also gives them the signal to educate you about what factors will impact the particular surprises you most dread. And that, in turn, allows you to go from wondering in the wilderness of unknown fear factors, to being able to help them smartly spot issues before they snowball into badness.
For example, the date on which you close your transaction during the month has an impact on how much cash you'll need to bring to the closing table. Generally, the amount of prepaid interest you have to pay if your escrow closes the fourth week of the month is much less than what you'd have to pay if it closed, say, the second week of the month.
But think about that: if you're aiming to close at month's end to keep your closing costs low, and escrow closes even 10 days late (not at all uncommon, these days) you could end up with a big spike in the cash you're required to bring in to close.
Letting your team know that this would break your heart – and your bank – can help them quickly act and react to either keep closing on track or, if that's not possible, pushing it out to avoid jacking up your closing costs.
3. Keep up. Like this closing date/closing costs debacle-in-the-making, there are a number of critical dates and deadlines in a home buying transaction by which decisions and deliverable and course-corrections must be made or the seeds for a scary surprise take root. And only some of the time are you, home buyer, in control of making sure those timelines stay on track; many other times, loan underwriters, appraisers, inspectors and lenders are responsible for achieving these important must-meet dates. What you can control is your own awareness of all these calendar points, so that you can make more or less urgent nudges and check-ins, as needed, in order to ensure that things either (a) stay on track, or (b) don't take you by surprise, if they get off track. Ask your real estate agent and mortgage broker to help you create and stay on top of an escrow calendar containing all the major and minor deadlines and tipping points of your transaction, as well as to leverage this tool to avoid surprises throughout the transaction.
4. Fess up. It's one thing to be surprised by something you have no control over. But imagine how you'd feel if your deal was killed by a surprise that you (and only you) could easily have avoided! I've personally seen this happen a number of times. One buyer I know ended up losing her dream home – and her deposit money – due to false information on her loan application. She'd apparently gotten away with it on a number of credit applications, but a mortgage is an entirely different animal.
Another nearly had the same tragic outcome as a result of telling her team that she was divorced when, in fact, the divorce was not final. (The bank then wanted to vet her soon-to-be ex-husband's qualifications for the loan. And his credit was really, really bad. Really.)
When you are in the loan application process, keep in mind that it in the world of lending, technicalities matter – a lot. This is not just a conversation with friends; rather, it's about as official as you get. So, the things you normally say and do to describe your life, the things that make up your aspirations and plans, the way you see things turning out in the near future – none of these things count as fodder for your loan application.
What does count? The hard cold facts of your status quo situation – right now. So, be brutally honest about the state of your life and your finances, warts and all. This might creates obstacles you'll have to workaround up front, but I assure you that is preferable to getting caught in a falsehood – intentional or otherwise – and having to scramble to try to salvage a deal days before closing.
5. Fluff up. Your cash and time cushions, that is. The reason home buying surprises are so stressful is that they threaten to do one of two things: (a) screw up our timelines for moving, or (b) force us to come up with more cash than we have at hand to close the deal. If you get just a few days away from closing, bags and boxes packed, and are told you need to bring in just an extra few thousand dollars to close the deal, it can feel like your home – actually, your life! – is being held hostage for extra cash, on the one transaction you've already spent years saving up for.
The least stressed-out home buyers are those who have built in time and cash cushions to their home buying and moving plans. Give yourself the gift of a few weeks of planned overlap in your ability to occupy your last home and your future one; even if that means you wait to give your landlord notice until you're well into escrow, it empowers you to avoid looking for hotel rooms and being distressed by the very predictable, very common occurrence of a late escrow closing.
Similarly, if your home buying-related financial plans involve maintaining a nice, fluffy cushion of so-called emergency cash even after your planned down payment and closing costs, you'll be less likely to go off the deep end if the lender requires you to drop $500 on repairs to get the deal closed.

Civilians and servicemembers alike are growing less concerned with the state of the economy, according to the First Command Financial Behaviors Index. The index is a monthly survey of about 530 U.S. consumers between ages 25 and 70 with annual household incomes of at least $50,000.
Forty-nine percent of military respondents and 48% of civilian respondents listed the economy as one of their major concerns. First Command noted these are record lows for both groups.
"These results represent the lowest level of economic concern we have seen since launching the Index in early 2008 at the beginning of the global economic downturn," Scott Spiker, CEO of First Command Financial Services, said in a statement. "So far this year we have seen an 11-point drop among servicemembers and their families and a 13-point drop for the general population."
Spiker noted that though concern is trending down, a significant minority are still worried. "While these results do indicate that concerns continue for roughly half of consumers, the downward trend line is a promising development that reveals an improving economic outlook in the American middle class."
One-quarter of the general population respondents and 30% of military respondents said real estate was a concern. Less than a quarter of each group said the stock market and unemployment were concerning. Military respondents were particularly unconcerned with unemployment, with just 20% saying they were worried, compared with 24% of the general population.
As fears ease over the economy, confidence over their own financial futures increased. Over a third of the general population respondents and 46% of military respondents said they were extremely or very confident that their situation will improve over the next year. Looking all the way ahead to retirement, 34% of the general population and 40% of military respondents are confident they'll be able to retire comfortably.
Spiker noted that sequestration is still a major concern for military families. "At the same time we see an improving economic outlook, though, many survey respondents are worried about sequestration," he said. "Federal budget cuts are a particularly important issue in the military population. Half of families report feeling anxious about sequestration, and they have responded by cutting back on everyday spending. With the lessons of the economic downturn still fresh, our men and women in uniform are preparing for more fiscal uncertainty and getting their family finances squared away. "

From the hellish depths of the NY Giants sack dance pasting to the heavenly skies of a thrilling Philadelphia Eagles beat-up and shut-down, the Chicago Bears are one up and down team.
So far.
Everybody keeps pointing to the offense changing from all-passing to even-steven running and passing for the reason the O switched on.
The D has pretty much been awesome all year.
I was shocked when the Bears beat the Vikings, buy yesterday?
I was prepared for a 20 point loss.
Look what happened.
Matt Forte was unbelievable, Jay Cutler (except for the Carlos Zambrano imitation leading to his penalty) was the best he's ever been as a Bear, and that game-changing red zone interception of a Michael Vick pass was impossible.
Plus, and this will sound insane, but if I'm any other team kicking off in the NFL against the Bears, I might be more afraid of Danieal Manning than Devin Hester.
Yesterday, everything changed with a 31-26 victory over a first place Eagles team.
It's possible that the Bears are actually coming together right when the schedule gets tough (for everybody - see Green Bay Packers).
It's a long, blind roller coaster with these guys, and the bottom can go away at any moment.
If I keep expecting that, maybe I won''t hurl.

Mustang MonthlyNews & Views
Stolen 1966 Ford Mustang Reappears 20 Years Later
Betsy Montgomery thought her stolen beloved classic 1966 Ford Mustang was long gone -- until it showed up 20 years later.
When Betsy Montgomery left her shiny red 1966 Ford Mustang in her parent's driveway back in September of 1992, little did she know that it could be the last time she might ever see it again.
As a young teenager in '72 ready to get her driver's license, Betsy begged her dad to check out a 1966 Ford Mustang sitting in a yard just a couple of blocks from her house. After some convincing, Betsy's father then purchased the 1966 Ford Mustang for just $600 after talking the owner down from $750. Since it was not the family's primary vehicle, everyone casually shared the car and it quickly became a big part of the family.
An ordinary day in 1992 quickly became a tragic one when Betsy's red Mustang was stolen right out of the driveway from where she left it. Needless to say, the Jackson, Mississippi resident was crushed. "We all cried and all looked for it," Betsy said. "I never thought I'd see it again."
Fast forward to October 2012, Betsy just returned home from a cruise to Mexico. Soon after, a strange voicemail was left for her from a man located in California wanting to speak with her about "some stolen property."
Worried something may be amiss after her recent vacation, she called him back the next day. The man, who identified himself as Lou Koven with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), wanted to know if Betsy had ever reported anything as stolen. The only thing that came to mind was the 1966 Ford Mustang that was stolen 20 years prior. That's when the Koven replied with something that changed everything – "we've recovered it."
The stolen classic was finally discovered when the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) was checked right before the car was due to board a ship to its new owner overseas in Australia. That's when the stolen 1966 Ford Mustang showed up on the hot list and was traced back to Montgomery.
Still in disbelief, friends were worried that this whole situation could be a scam. After talking to an officer with the California Highway Patrol, she soon realized that it was far from a hoax. Curious of the current condition of her long lost pony, the trooper told her she'll likely be "pleasantly surprised."
Betsy was in disbelief of how they were able to contact her about the stolen car. Within the past 20 years, her phone number, address and everything had changed.
The classic Mustang was delivered back to Betsy on a trailer full of cars. Seeing that familiar face pull up brought on a flood of memories of her late father and growing up with it in the family.
"Wherever it has been over the past 20 years, it was well taken care of," Betsy said. "I was told that it had changed hands many times."
Just as the trooper told her, the condition was surprising. The body only had a few nicks and scratches which likely happened during transport, and it was missing the battery and carburetor.
And just a few days ago, Betsy picked the classic car up from the "beauty shop", also known as Porter's Body Shop, where she had the minor scrapes, cuts and bruises all fixed up leaving the exterior of the classic like new.
Betsy wanted to thank Cade's Garage out of Brookhaven, MS for helping her get the classic car home and for making sure everything was mechanically sound and taken care of.
With a car that was bought in the early 70's for just $600 could easily be worth over $30,000 today. But don't expect Betsy to part with it this time, this sentimental 'Stang will stay safe and sound now that it is back home where it belongs.

Racing Ahead
But I wouldn't be a very good writer if I hopped straight to the exciting part so let me give you the whole story.
Three or four weeks back, I got wind of a casting call for a new reality television show. The producers of this show were looking for 12 unique romance writers and 12 avid romance readers. The casting call had a list of 5 or 6 questions so I answered them and emailed in my response.
A few days later I hear from the producer. She wants me to expound upon a few of my original answers.
A couple of emails followed. Then a phone conversation.
A phone conversation that was went very well and has me very excited about my chances. I wish I could share more but I can't at this point but man am I stoked about the possibilities before me.
In other news I recently read a fantastic YA book called The Scorpio Races. I'd heard plenty about the talents of the author, Maggie Stiefvater but still I was surprised by the quality of the prose. Here is the blurb as it appears on Amazon.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shiver and Linger comes a brand new, heartstopping novel.
Some race to win. Others race to survive.
It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line.
Some riders live.
Others die.
At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.
Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn't given her much of a choice. So she enters the competition - the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
As she did in her bestselling Shiver trilogy, author Maggie Stiefvater takes us to the breaking point, where both love and life meet their greatest obstacles, and only the strong of heart can survive. The Scorpio Races is an unforgettable reading experience.
And for you poetry fans out there please take a moment and check out this blog written by my good friend Adam. Adam is an extraordinary young man of 23 that is wise beyond his years. He is a seminarian from my church and I can't wait until he is a full-fledged priest because he will writing some spectacular homilies.
Truth be told I'm not a huge poetry guy. I do not always connect with the words of poets but there are few whose prose speaks to me. And as I write this I think the quality that make me connect with these few is TRUTH. The Walking Man who often frequents this blog and Adam write is such a way that it makes me feel as if I am peering into their soul seeing not what they want to show me but he truth hidden in the shadows. I like that as the that often leads to me discovering something about myself I'd never thought of or at least never admitted.

Woo hoo! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! You know, the very first thing that made me take notice of your blog as being truly unique was your bio blurb about being a big ol' Texas guy who likes to fish, eat meat and drink beer but who hankered to be a women's romance writer. That just knocked my socks off!

SOCHI, Russia (BP) -- As the 2014 Winter Olympics comes to a close in Sochi, Russia, medal-winning Christian athletes who gave witness for Jesus Christ say their lives are about much more than winning medals. Meanwhile, the Engage Sochi outreach kicks into its next phase -- church planting.
For 17 days, Sochi was marked by glitter and gold, pomp and ceremony, victory and defeat. Now the Olympic flag is lowered, the flame is extinguished and the baton is passed to PyeongChang, South Korea, for the 2018 Winter Games.
"Athletes, you have inspired us over this last 17 days," International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said during the closing ceremonies on Sunday (Feb. 23). "By living together under one roof in the Olympic village you send a powerful message from Sochi to the world, that of a society of peace, tolerance and respect. I appeal to everybody implicated in confrontation, oppression and violence to act on this Olympic message of dialogue and peace."
American Jessica Lutz, whose father is from Switzerland, won a bronze medal playing on the Swiss women's hockey team, saying, "It is a huge honor and blessing to be able to go to the Olympics and to be called an Olympian."
"But it is so much more of an honor to be able to be called a child of God, to be forgiven of my sin and to be able to have Christ's righteousness as my own," Lutz said in an interview with Baptist Press.
Lutz entered the Olympic arena during the opening ceremonies wearing an Engage Sochi pin, identifying herself with a network of Southern Baptists who set the goal of making a difference for Christ before, during and after the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
Also among those who spoke out for their faith were Kelly Clark, who won a bronze medal in the women's snowboard half pipe and women's hockey team members Anne Schleper and Gigi Marvin.
Marc Hooks, co-director of Engage Sochi, noted that a major part of the Engage Sochi strategy during the Olympics was to use specialized trading pins that facilitated sharing the Gospel.
"The unofficial Olympic spectator sport is pin trading," Hooks said. "People coming to the Olympics love to trade pins, so we designed a pin that is fun to trade, that people like and that they want, but has elements that allow us to share the Gospel."
Colors on the pin represented key aspects of the plan of salvation -- "the same five colors as the Olympic rings," Hooks said, "so we can tie it all together and share God's love with the people here."
Nearly 200 Southern Baptists traveled to the Games to participate in Engage Sochi. They included The Singing Men of Oklahoma; the University of Mobile Jazz Band; the bluegrass Earl Brackin Band, who are members of First Baptist Church of Middleburg, Fla.; and Strong Tower Baptist Church of St. Joseph, Mo.; along with participants from the national Woman's Missionary Union and the Georgia and Oklahoma Baptist state conventions.
As the streets came alive with bluegrass music, Dixieland jazz, clowns, balloon artists and drama groups, a Russian security officer asked one Engage Sochi team, "Are you here to make a spiritual difference? Because it's working!"
Apparently it was. One young woman who travelled from California for the Olympics was among who heard the Gospel. "Hearing this was a shining light from God," she said, "Him telling me that He's still here with me."
Stephanie Brock, wife of Tod Brock, fiddler for the Earl Brackin Band, said, "I saw firsthand magnificent grace that broke through cultural and language barriers. … It was an unbelievable experience to simply say, 'Here's a gift of love' as I handed a new friend a pin and tract. … I know I planted a seed. As I watched our whole team work as one to promote God's love, I have no doubt that lives were changed."
More than 13,000 Engage Sochi trading pins and Gospels tracts were distributed during the 17 days of the Games. Three people told of committing their lives to Jesus while talking to Engage Sochi volunteers and more than 130 contacts were made with individuals who wanted to learn more about Him.
The Engage Sochi strategy is more than pins and Gospel presentations, Hooks noted. There is a church-planting focus as well. "Church planting is based on forming relationships. So, what our Engage Sochi folks are doing here is the building blocks for new churches to be started in Sochi and around the world," he said.
"We want everybody that we came in contact with to have the opportunity to continue the conversations that were started in Sochi," Hooks continued. "So, regardless of where that person is from, we want to connect them with a believer in their area who can make a relationship with that person and continue to speak with them about issues of faith."
Hooks put out a plea for prayer as Engage Sochi enters the final strategy phase. "Pray for us as we finish this part of the project and we move into the next part, as we do follow-up and discipleship, that these new believers would be discipled and be brought into bodies of believers," he said.

Sun Safety for your Children
Many parents question the use of chemical-laden sunscreens on their infants and young children. Even though sunscreens formulated for infants are technically "safe" to use, they may not be the most desirable option. Up until a few years ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended against the use of any sunscreen on infants under 6 months of age due to unknown safety risks. They revised their statement in 2004, since damage from sunburn can certainly outweigh the risks of using small amounts of sunscreen when shade or protective clothing is unavailable. As a Naturopath, my advice to parents of young infants and children is to avoid the use of sunscreen and instead, make sure their child is wearing light weight protective clothing and a sunhat to avoid sunburn. Young infants should also be kept out of the heat since they are more susceptible to heat stroke due to their inability to regulate body temperature effectively. Read the rest of this entry »

The Case of the Missing Sock(s)Posted: July 25th, 2012 | Author: Katie | Filed under: Simple Solutions |
Have we all not been in this mystery…where in the heck is the other sock?
Once, thought I was clever and had a little basket over my washer and dryer to collect socks.
Honestly, I got too lazy to look in it for matching pairs…but…
…now, I have 2 containers that I decorated using my chalk pens with pictures of white and colored socks.
Could this help solve my mysteries? I think so! And they're too stinkin' cute - pun intended!

We are relaunching a new company that is essentially the merger of two ongoing consulting firms and we would like to introduce a new logo as part of this launch.
Aventi Group Consulting Services
We are looking for an eye catching logo that conveyes both excitement and professionalism.

Many of our projects involve 4-6 month stints as interim head of marketing, business developments, strategy, etc. We strive to help companies improve their marketing effectiveness and also to build the marketing infrastructure necessary for success and growth.
There is not much behind the name Aventi other than it was available and we liked the sound. Some related definitions convey strong foundation or platform as well as "leading the charge" which are all themes that we would be comfortable building on

- Not tied to any specific color scheme. Look at http://www.pacifica-group.com for our current colors and look and feel

- Too many new colors

Look, No Double Points with Kellie NussCome and learn the two popular ways of using long circular needles to knit on small circumferences, such as socks, sleeves, baby hats, and the like. You'll never have to use double points again unless you want to! The first method uses two 24-inch circulars. The second way, commonly called The Magic Loop, uses one long (32-40 inch) circular needle. Both methods can be used on any circumference of knitting, enabling knitters to go from cuff to toe of a sock or brim to crown of a hat without ever having to change needles. Knitters should already be comfortable with knitting in the round or have at least tried it before class.
SuppliesAll needles should be US 7 or 8: two 24-inch circular needles, each of a different material if possible (such as one of metal and one of bamboo); one 32- or 40-inch circular needle of any material; and a few yards of smooth, plain, #4 (worsted) weight yarn, wool or wool-blend preferred.

via press release:
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13, 2012 – Continuing its tradition of spotlighting the nation's most pressing health issues in such presentations as "Addiction" and "The Alzheimer's Project," HBO addresses obesity in THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION, helping launch one of the most far-reaching public health campaigns on this epidemic to date. The multi-part, multiplatform series debuts in May, exclusively on HBO.
In the U.S., 68% of adults age 20 and over are overweight or obese, while 31.7% of the nation's children and adolescents age two to 19 are overweight or obese.* Obesity contributes to six of the ten leading causes of death in America, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers and high blood pressure.**
Bringing together the nation's leading research institutions, THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION is being developed in partnership with the Institute of Medicine (IOM), in association with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and with the support of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and Kaiser Permanente.
"Obesity has become one of the most serious threats to the health of the American people," comments Harvey V. Fineberg, M.D., Ph.D., president of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies.
"If we don't succeed in turning this epidemic around, we are going to face, for the first time in our history, a situation where our children are going to live shorter lives than we do," says Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Obesity-related health care costs about $147 billion annually, and, on average, someone who is obese costs $1400 more a year to care for," notes Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "To get healthy, we're all going to have to do our part – individuals, communities, local, state and the federal government. If the obesity trend continues, we're going to face steadily increasing health care costs, as well as more lives lost to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, many cancers and other complications from obesity."
THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION comprises four documentary films, a three-part HBO Family series, 14 bonus shorts, a social media campaign, a book published by St. Martin's Press and a nationwide community-based outreach campaign to support the initiative.
The four-part series debuts MONDAY, MAY 14 and TUESDAY, MAY 15, on HBO, with two films airing back-to-back each night. The three-part HBO Family series debuts WEDNESDAY, MAY 16.
To ensure the widest possible audience, HBO will use all its services, including the main HBO channel, multiplex channels, HBO On Demand, HBO GO and more. All films will also stream free of charge on HBO.com, as well as on multiple platforms by participating television service providers.
Three years in the making, THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION spotlights the facts and myths of this urgent public health issue, showing how obesity affects the health of the nation and cripples the health care system. Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and arthritis are just a few of the diseases directly linked to obesity and will dramatically increase if the status quo does not change.
Like many other public health problems, overweight and obesity have disproportionate impacts on disadvantaged communities and racial and ethnic minorities. Nine of the 10 states with the highest obesity prevalence are also among the poorest.***
Americans are eating too much and too often, and not getting enough physical activity. Less healthy foods, such as soda, chips and candy, have become relatively less expensive, while more nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables have become relatively more expensive. What's more, access to healthy food is a challenge for many communities. Compounding the problem are strong societal forces compelling people to eat more and move less.
The centerpiece of THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION is the four-part documentary series, featuring case studies and interviews with leading experts and with individuals and families struggling with obesity.
The first film, "Consequences," examines the scope of the obesity epidemic and explores the serious health consequences of being overweight or obese.
The second film, "Choices," gives viewers the skinny on fat, revealing what science has shown about how to lose weight, maintain weight loss and prevent weight gain.
The third film, "Children in Crisis," documents the damage obesity is doing to the nation's children, tackling subjects ranging from school lunches to the decline of physical education to the marketing of unhealthy food to children.
The fourth film, "Challenges," examines the major forces behind the obesity epidemic, including agriculture, economics, evolutionary biology, food marketing, racial and socioeconomic disparities, physical inactivity, American food culture and the strong influence of the food and beverage industry.
HBO Family's "The Weight of the Nation for Kids," a series of three half-hour films, looks at children who have taken action to prevent obesity in their own lives and communities. From the Rethinkers, a group of New Orleans students, to the heartwarming story of a Goldsboro, NC high school student, the films offer inspiring examples of kids who have made a difference.
In conjunction with the launch of THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION films, the IOM will feature a new report at the CDC's Weight of the Nation™ conference, May 7-9, that reviews the progress made to date in curbing obesity and recommends selected strategies and actions that can accelerate progress in the near future.
To facilitate community action, the campaign will reach deep into local areas to distribute 40,000 community action kits to community-based organizations working on obesity prevention. The kits, consisting of the entire series, discussion guides in English and Spanish, and tips and supplemental materials for hosting screenings, will provide essential tools to catalyze and support local efforts in communities that combat obesity across the country.

Daily Sound Off: Census software violates federal law
This Daily Sound Off comes from Bob in Elgin, Illinois:
Until Tuesday I was the AMT (Asst. Manager for Technology) for the Elgin IL census office.
Around April 1st, a change was made to DAPPS (Decennial Applicant, Personnel, and Payroll System) so that it required us to ask employees for the last 4 digits of their Social Security Number to reset their passwords. This is a direct violation of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, and placed me personally at risk of fines and jail every time I illegally requested this information of another employee. I immediately notified IT management of this issue, and opened a trouble ticket.
Despite my complaints, this issue was never fixed. A proper disclosure could have been added to the screen to be read to the employee. Or something other than SSN could have been used to verify identity. The system even asked new users 3 security questions (hobby,favorite color, pets name) when they first logged in, but these are NEVER used anywhere. Or we could have continued to reset passwords with no further authentication, since these users were all in the office and personally known. This was not a situation where passwords were being reset from remote requests over the phone or internet where verification of identity is an issue.
On May 4th, I was ordered by my area manager, Richard Earley (Chicago RCC) to do this in violation of the law, and threatened with termination if I refused to comply. I responded that he did not have the authority to order me to violate federal law.
On May 6th, Richard Earley stopped in our Elgin office, again ordered me to violate this law, and wrote me up twice on D-282 disciplinary forms. He indicated that he would provide me with copies of those forms, and indicate exactly what rules I had violated in refusing to violate the law, but never did either of these.
In late May a new NRFU Shipping application was rolled out to replace the severely performance limited PBOCS system. The new ship app was based on DAPPS, and had the same illegal SSN request to reset passwords. I immediately logged another trouble ticket to alert management of this issue.
Tuesday afternoon, June 8th Richard Earley again came to our office with a letter written by his staff ordering my termination, that he forced our local office manager to sign under threat of termination. Richard was the only one that spoke to me, terminating me on the spot, and walking me out the door. Although a D283 is required for termination, I never saw a copy of that form.
In addition, our Chicago RCC has issued an edict that we can't terminate anyone for performance issues, we have to demote them to a lower position. This has been done to other employees in my office, but was not done in my case.
According to the rules on this web site
Both my discipline and termination are illegal actions.
I have contacted several federal regulatory agencies, including EEO, OMB, OIG, and OSC and filed complaints as soon as I was disciplined.
In addition the census bureau owes a $1000 penalty to every employee that has been asked for an SSN to have their password reset (probably 5-10K people at a cost of $5-10M), according to the Privacy Act. And those responsible for this illegal system should be fined $5000 per the same law.
I would be more than happy to provide additional information on this issue, and would really appreciate it if you would publicize the census violations of the law.
The computer systems have so many bugs and performance issues, that I question that this census will produce a true and accurate count of our population.
Our RCC manages by intimidation and harassment. They have gone out of their way to create a hostile work environment for all involved in this operation. I don't know if this is a local issue (IL, WI, IN) or national. In my 35 years of work history, I have NEVER seen so many illegal actions in a place of work as this one experience of working for my own government. I find it disgusting.
