Pests come in distinct kinds. Managing these pests helps shield us from the harm they inflict.
harm includes, but is not restricted to, spreading disease, contaminating our food, threatening our health and injuring our home. By defining this harm, assistance for pest-control is firmly validated, as proven by rodent control San Francisco.
It's really important to get appropriate pest management around any place where food exists. Including everywhere in the farms where it's sold where food is grown for the supermarkets. Pests can contaminate foods, which makes it impossible to eat and raise, if not correctly managed. Effectively managing these pests could be achieved by using substances or natural pesticides, setting traps, constructing fences or making other deterrents.
Disorder could be spread quickly if appropriate pest management isn't completed. Insects and bugs can transfer strands of viruses and influenza to people, creatures and food. Our government attempts to handle and prevent this from occurring by putting rigorous guidelines on what's permitted to be introduced into our nation. This is really a kind of pest control. People must take such steps in the home too. Applications of compounds to borders and yards of dwellings will restrict the amount of pests that may affect our health, along with the wellness of our home pets.
Taking actions to manage pests which cause harm to your property is just as important. Spraying chemicals to construct nests within our trees, burrow holes within our houses, manage bugs that eat wood and chew holes within our landscape helps ensure the survival of such property. The price of pest-control is quite trivial for the expense of fixing or replacing things which have incurred destruction from pests. For instance, consider the price of new plant materials for a lawn. People that decide not to employ any pest-control are operating the danger of dropping these crops to leaf-eating insects. If this occurs, they'd incur the price of new plant material, maybe replacing earth along with the job costs for the installment. By managing pests in the start this endeavor, they'd just have had their first investment.
Lots of individuals are against using numerous compounds on or surrounding their residences. There are many other choices, like rodent control Boca Raton now with all the choices in the marketplace which are very successful too. People must think about the effects of appropriate pest management. The spread of illness could be discontinued or decreased as well as our food will remain healthy. Our crops will grow powerful and our residence will remain intact. Pest control is essential for most of this to occur.

The impact of paying a collection account on credit scores
Dear Experian,
Does settling a debt that is showing negative on my credit report as a "collection", get removed from my report as soon as it is paid? Does paying this debt help raise my credit score?
Categories: Report Advice, Score Advice
Paid collection account not deleted immediately
Dear Experian,
How do I get something I have paid removed from my credit report? I'm trying to get approved for an apartment and I need it taken off ASAP. I have the letter from the collection agency showing the debt has been paid in full.
Categories: Report Advice
Benefits of paying a collection account
Dear Experian,
I have a credit card account on my report that has gone to a collection company and was written off by the credit card company. If I make a deal with the collection company to start a payment plan and pay this off, will it affect my credit in a positive manner or is it too late for that? Also, does the collection company have to report the timely payments to you to show it is being paid?
Categories: Report Advice
Paid collection accounts not removed from credit report immediately
Dear Experian,
If I pay the bills that were sent to collection will they come off? How do you get them off? I'm trying to get a home in the next few months and my credit score is low.

Jackson, Miss.
Mississippi's spring turkey hunting season is March 15 to May 1.
Dave Godwin, wild turkey program coordinator for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, says hunters killed about 30,000 turkeys in the 2013 spring season.
Hunters are allowed to bag one adult gobbler per day and three in the spring season.
Godwin says it takes about two years for a turkey to gain maturity. He says this year's turkeys would have hatched in 2012.
Godwin says the length of the turkey's beard determines whether it can be hunted. He says the rule is six inches for a legal beard.
Most year old turkeys will have a beard in the three- to four-inch range. By the second year that will grow to the eight- to 11-inch range.

Finally! I have been waiting 10 years for my husband to agree with me (patience of a saint I know) that we should get cats. Hurrah! They moved in on Wednesday and seem to spend most of their time under the bed. Or on top of it. That's it.
What did I expect? Well, to at least follow me around the house chatting as I went about my business. Or to come home and see they have found an alternative place to sit and watch the world go by, or perhaps be advanced and not only opened the mail but sorted it too into Junk Mail and Reply Now piles? Or at least to give me a meeow by way of thanks when I top up their bowl of water.
The cats (names; Lucy and Oliver…not our choice) came from the Battersea Dog and Cat home. They were 'gifts' as their previous owners broke up and neither partner could look after them, so like many children these days they are cats from a broken home. I naively thought you could pay your £1 for visiting, chat to the nice staff, stroke a few cats and take them away with you all in one afternoon. No! You are interviewed… Have you had cats before? (i see they don't ask what happened to your previous cats if you answered Yes to this question..) Do you rent or own your property? What do you and your partner do for a living? (is there a right or wrong job?) Why do you want a cat? (I dunno…cos they are funny, furry and don't answer back?) Are you pregnant? Is there a chance you could be pregnant now? How many children in a year visit your home? Bog off with your personal questions; I JUST WANT A CAT FOR GOODNESS SAKE, not to fill in a questionnaire about my life and achievements so far!
We now feel an overwhelmingly sense of responsibility towards them. Is Lucy eating? Is Oliver eating too much? Being brother and sister will they get on? Why do they spend so much time under the bed; is this healthy? Is it too dusty? Will we get fleas?
How people come to the decision to have children is beyond me….

Easter, hope and light
In some ways, now is a terrible time to be a Catholic.
I involuntarily wince every time another Catholic scandal — another revelation of sin and evil in the Church — hits the headlines.
It hurts me, because I'm embarrassed. But it hurts me more because I love Jesus Christ. And I can only imagine that these scandals — from the lapses to the outrages — hurt him very much.
Our Lord founded the Church — by that I mean, he commissioned us, his disciples down the ages — to proclaim the Good News. To attract people to him.
Sometimes I think we're not doing a very job of it. When I read those shameful headlines, I often think of Mahatma Gandhi's words:
"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ."
We all know people who are so disheartened by the Church's dysfunction, that they are leaving. But then there are also people who — despite everything! — are coming into the Catholic Church.
Four young men — ranging in age from 12 to 28 — became Catholic during Hamilton's Easter Vigil last night. They are accompanied by more than a million others, all over the world, who are receiving the sacraments this Easter.
So in other ways, now is a wonderful time to be a Catholic! Jesus Christ is risen! Light has overcome darkness. Life has vanquished death.
If the headlines I mentioned evoke the betrayal of Holy Thursday and the darkness of Good Friday, then the reception of our new Catholics evokes the dazzling light of Easter Sunday.
A new dawn. New life.
It's no coincidence, of course, that the Church celebrates so many baptisms at Easter. The two are closely related. As Archbishop Coleridge so memorably puts it, "Baptism is Easter with your name on it."
(If you've got six minutes, watch his Easter message.)
Given this link between Easter and baptism, and the phenomenon of so many adults coming into the Catholic Church at Easter, it's a good time for all of us to ask, "Why am I a Catholic?"
The bloggers at Patheos' Catholic channel have answered just that. There are as many answers as there are posts! That speaks to the catholicity of Catholicism I think.
Our faith is sometimes painted as narrow and authoritarian. Sometimes, we're even tempted to view the faith that way ourselves. But we should reject that!
In the words of James Joyce, "Catholic means, 'here comes everybody.'" Our faith is too big for any one person to get a handle on it. The Catholic faith is as large as the heart and mind of God, which is eternal.
When we live the Catholic faith sincerely, when we "become like Christ," as Gandhi put it, then our own hearts and minds are enlarged, so that we can bring to others the hope and the light that Easter brings to us.

Every time I hear of another scandal within the church being sensationalised by the media, my heart breaks a little for all the wonderful people within the church who carry the pain of the perpetrators of evil. I have a theory…So complex…Society is sick and the scandal of sexual abuse is undermining the Family unit.
People are afraid to uncover, reveal and report abbhorrent crimes committed within supposedly respectable families…Way too shameful…much easier to project frustration and despair at the Catholic Church who are honest and willing to [ now] take responsibility and be held accountable. As a survivor of abuse, who has been lucky enough to heal, with the help of some very caring, compassionate and concerned priests, nuns and Christian Brothers, I feel I have a right to speak my mind. I cannot report my Mum, who did not protect me..With the help of my faith, I have found the strength to forgive. I love my Mum and we now have an O.K. relationship. Disclosing this abuse would have torn my family apart and wounded so many people. As I said the issue is complex..Would just like the good people within the church to go easy on themselves. The problem is manifestly rife throughout all of society. It is good that there are enquiries etc and the silence is being broken. It breaks my heart that so many trustworthy people are carrying the pain of the inherent evil within a sick society. Keep the Faith…eventually all will be well. I have so much respect for your courage in speaking out about these scandals and hope that this first effort at speaking my truth might help you in some small way!!
With Pope Francis at the helm I am truly hopeful..Confident even, that our church will be rebuilt!!
I watched this the other night. Was excellent. The bishop showed more polish than in his Lenten message as well.
I went to have another look, and it seems to have been restricted. A "private" video it says. On YouTube. That's an oxymoron if ever there was.
Hello Happy Easter to all of you!
Holy Thursday is also called ordination of priest. Does anyone know any priest who got ordinate last week? We must not to forget to pray for the priest who keep the churches going in this great country of ours. Here is prayer
Jesus our sheperd, Christ our high Priest, you taught us that o be greatin this world is to be a servant.
Lord call priests to your church who do not wish to be served, but to serve.
Provide for your church, Lord priests of mercy and healing.
May they be alert to the wonders of the universe, sensitive to the sufferings of the world and servants of the banquet of your Body and Blood.
Lord Jesus call forth priests for us who will nurture the call of all disciples to follow you with love and gladness toward the kingdom that you promised where you intercede for us still,
Priest and Lord , for ever and ever. Amen.
Hi Fr. John! We are SO BLESSED to have good leaders during this difficult time in the Church. Bishop Anthony Fisher OP (my local ordinary) has also released an Easter message via YouTube and I've linked that from my site, along with this one by Archbishop Coleridge. I was troubled by a most unfair characterization in the news from the first or the second day (can't remember) of the Commission last week. It portrayed our bishops as arrogant, lacking compassion and not at all interested in truly helping victims of the scandal. I am pleased to see positive messages like this one of Archbishop Coleridge being propagated. There truly is no darkness so great that Christ cannot bring to it Light in abundance.
Finally -its a while since I'd seen that Ghandi quote – its very telling, really. We need not to work harder but to trust more, to cooperate with the promptings of grace in our lives. Our Christianity is SUPPOSED to be making us more like Christ, such that we can bring Him to others. I pray that the disjunct between Christ and His followers that was evident in Ghandi's day begins to disappear. This is crucial to the New Evangelization!
I hope you're enjoying the Easter Season, Father!

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
That depends on the subject, experts say. In Holler's case, the PR degree paid off. She said it helped her get her current job as the marketing communications manager at Kettley, a financial technology firm, and the CEO told her as much. Other degrees, such as those in computer science or computer engineering, also equip students with specialized skill sets and lead to specific jobs and salary ranges, according to experts.
For example, the median salary for someone with a computer science degree and less than one year of experience is $49,756, PayScale salary information shows. Individuals with computer science degrees who work as senior software engineers report a median salary of $87,534, while those serving as computer programmers earn $48,740.
Liberal arts degrees in disciplines like English or economics don't necessarily lead to the same types of careers. Dr. Katharine S. Brooks, director of Liberal Arts Career Services at The University of Texas at Austin, offered the example of two recent UT grads who majored in English. One went to work at AmeriCorps, earning a $10,000 salary, while another pulled in $52,000 at a job in marketing.
"They're not career-specific majors like electrical engineers. If they major in that then they're electrical engineers, and you get a basic range of salaries in that field. But in English, it's non-specific, and their opportunities are so wide-open. It depends what they want to go into, so their salary will very much correlate with the field or the job title," Brooks said.
According to PayScale salary information, a UT-Austin graduate with up to one year of experience can expect to earn an average salary of $42,500 a year.
A bachelor's degree is a good idea no matter what the major, experts say, because earnings tend to rise as education levels increase.
According to the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics, between 1980 and 2005 "young adults with at least a bachelor's degree consistently had higher median earnings than those with less education." In 2005, male workers ages 25-34 with a high school diploma or GED had a median income of $29,600, while those with a bachelor's degree or higher earned $48,400. Among women with the same characteristics, those with a high school diploma or GED made $23,500, and their counterparts with bachelor's degrees or higher earned $39,500.
And while it may be difficult to pinpoint the value of a liberal arts degree, there are some ball-park figures available. A recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers offers a glimpse into the average starting salaries for a variety of majors. English majors receive an average offer of $32,553, economics majors get $48,483, and starting wages for computer science graduates are somewhat higher, at $53,396.
Mentioning the value of a degree generally stirs thoughts of salaries and money. Ideally, though, a degree helps its owner follow his or her passions.
Holler said her initial interest was in journalism, but studying PR proved a better fit because she uses her verbal and written communication skills, which she enjoys.
Andrea Koncz, NACE's employment information manager, said the group has found "over the years that students choose their majors based upon what they 'like to do.'" She pointed to NACE's 2006 survey of graduating students and alumni, which says 67 percent of respondents indicated they chose a major because they liked the work it would enable them to do. Only 6 percent picked their majors based on earning potential.
Brooks of UT-Austin said in a past job she advised pre-med students; when some didn't get into medical school, instead of pursuing other health-related careers, they opted for investment banking or consulting.
"They wanted something high-paying, that's why they were going to medical school in the first place," she explained. "You'll look at any field that will pay you what you want to earn."

"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial"
You know what? It has to be on the list. It's not just that it's such a monument either. When I re-watched it the thing that struck me was the honest and complicated portrayal of Elliot's family. Their relationship is filled with tough moments, heartbreaks, and sacrifice. It's actually pretty damn dark... but you never get the sensation they're going to end up on "Jerry Springer." These are people who rise to the occasion with dignity, regardless of the cost, and family comes first -- because that's what you do. It's worth noting that the both the alien and the initially terrifying government stormtroopers have a fair share of dignity too. Imagine that, no over the top black and white antagonist and we still get all the conflict needed...
"Pan's Labyrinth"
Ugly can be breathtakingly beautiful and beauty, at least for it's own sake, is sure to fade. Or at least work out pretty badly for everyone involved... Whatever, you get it. If that was all that was here it would probably still be enough to be make the list, but there's more. There's the raw wonder of visiting a completely new world played against the raw wonder of an unflinching look at a world you're very familiar with. Either of those would have put this on the list too, but you don't have to chose. You get both, with wonderful performances and a shit load of tension on top. I admit there's some stuff in here that might be a little tough for an extremely young audience, but most of it's worth the risk.And sometimes it's healthy to want to cover your eyes.
Another film that simply has to be here. This roller coaster has some pretty rough edges and at the time these weren't edges we saw regularly on the big screen. They're were just... dirtier. Actually, there's almost no 'gloss 'to speak of. Maybe that's what made it feel so real and gave it a sense of possibility that was so infectious you stopped noticing and fell for the ride. Afterwards you got your friends together and broke a bunch of your parents shit looking for your own lost treasure map -- and it actually felt like you might find one.
"Super 8"
Man, what a set up. It's understated, powerful, and doesn't spoon feed. It trusts that the audience came here to pay attention, that they're watching... and then lets the pictures do the work. Basically, good cinema. I shouldn't even have to call this out, but I am. And this film is so accessible to a younger audience that you have to give them (yeah those guys) credit for not dumbing it down -- or maybe they figured the kids would engage less if they made it easier? I don't know, but part of me wants to. The other part doesn't care because it works. I love it when a film has clear expectations of the audience and tries to make them work while enjoying. Add that to the powerful potential of kids collaborating to successes beyond their years -- hell, they save the town and manage to make their own movie -- and you've got a good thing happening. The ending was a mild disappointment, but I think it's because I'm old and jaded. I'll still be watching this with my kids.
"Christmas Story
My parents still have the letter I wrote Santa asking for the Millennium Falcon. I'm 40, but I totally remember unwrapping it... it's almost an out of body experience, still so vivid that I can tell you what I was wearing. I remember the blue struts on the landing ramp were pretty flimsy and eventually broke -- you know the first ding on your new car? Thank god for crazy glue. The Millenium Falcon was (and is) the present by which I judge all other presents. "A Christmas Story" is the only movie I can think of that genuinely captures the sense of childhood dread... If I don't get this, how will I ever go on in this incomplete life? You watch this movie and you know that level of desire -- the need -- is on the dicey edge of right and wrong for all kinds of reasons... but damn do you want Ralphie to get that gun. You make a choice for the little guy, climb on his team and root for him regardless of all that 'shoot yer eye out' crap. I mean, it's Christmas, right? Plus, he's got two eyes. The strength here for me -- like so many of the movies on the list -- is that it takes you to this complicated place (given Ralphie's perspective) but never takes the fun away from you. And it doesn't hurt that the world Ralpie lives in is presented, proverbial warts and all, in a completely non patronizing manner -- he's part of a real family, not just some kid who's gonna learn a hard feel good lesson.

Crop cronyism's destructive results
We talk about it. Politicians condemn it. Nothing ever happens to change it though.
This year's agriculture bill again redistributes your money to rent seekers:
Combine a Midwestern drought with pointless ethanol mandates, and the supplies of corn inevitably dwindle, driving prices sky high. Politicians like Sen. Claire McCaskill, Missouri Democrat, are citing the crop crisis as an excuse to ram through a near-$1 trillion farm bill. While a bit of that cash might find its way to a small farmer, the bulk of the loot will be transferred to individuals who are anything but poor. Like the bank bailouts and TARP, the farm bill illustrates the capture of the legislative process by special interests.
The last farm bill in 2008 was the focus of $173.5 million in lobbying expenditure, according to a report released Tuesday by Food & Water Watch. This is all money spent on what the Mercatus Center's Matthew Mitchell calls "unproductive entrepreneurship" where people are organizing and expending their talent to become rent seekers, and the end result is wealth redistribution, not wealth creation. Real entrepreneurship innovates in ways that are socially useful. Cronyism diverts resources — both money and talent — into a system that rewards privileges to favored groups. In the case of the 2008 farm bill, recipients of subsidies of $30,000 or more had an average household income of $210,000.
Mr. Mitchell argues that "government-granted privilege is an extraordinarily destructive force" because it not only results in a misallocation of resources and slower growth, it undermines civil society and the legitimacy of government by providing a rich soil for corruption."
She's absolutely right. And, of course, when you mess with markets, like has been done with the corn market and mandated ethanol, the expected results occur when something unanticipated, like a drought, happens:
Corn and soybeans soared to record highs on Thursday as the worsening drought in the U.S. farm belt stirred fears of a food crisis, with prices coming off peaks after investors cashed out of the biggest grains rally since 2008.
Corn prices crossed into uncharted territory above $8 per bushel — about three-and-a-half times the average price 10 years ago of $2.28. Soybeans punched past $17 for the first time — also three-and-a-half times the 2002 average.
Analysts said that while forecasts for continued dry weather are expected to sustain the rally, corn prices could be vulnerable to any move by the government to lower the amount of corn-based ethanol blenders are required to mix with gasoline.
Notice what entity is mentioned in the last paragraph? Yes, government. A key player in the increase in corn prices (yes, understood, they'd be higher with the drought alone, but government's ethanol mandate has driven them even higher yet).
Meanwhile, as mentioned above, we're subsidizing agriculture to the tune of $1 trillion dollars of your money (in cash or in debt to be paid back in the future). Meanwhile, you'll be paying more for corn based products at the grocery store as well.
Nita Ghei lays out the bottom line problem with this sort of cronyism and rent seeking:
Government privileges come in many forms, direct and indirect. It might be a monopoly, such as the one granted to utilities like Pepco. Regulations such as licensing can be used to limit entry to a particular field to the benefit of existing businesses. Lobbying and the revolving door in Washington create what economists call "regulatory capture," which is what happens when existing firms use regulatory agencies to benefit themselves. Tax breaks, loan guarantees and subsidies are the most direct signs of a government's favor. Bailouts of big banks under TARP, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when the housing bubble burst, are the most recent examples of direct action.
Extending each of these privileges reduces America's economic competitiveness. A monopoly protected by the government has little incentive to provide good service. The greater the availability of privileges, the greater is the incentive to indulge in rent seeking, which diverts resources from truly productive activities. In the long run, the result of anti-competitive policies is less innovation, lower growth and a smaller pie to share.
The greatest scourge to the honest Midwest farmer is not unfavorable weather, pestilence or disease. Far worse for them is the plague of politicians who create an artificial market in which only those with influence can truly compete. Defeating the budget-busting 2012 farm bill is the best chance at a good harvest.
The chances of that happening, however, are slim to none. Regulatory capture is as common now as government debt and unemployment. It is a systemic problem that rewards rent seekers and the well connected to the detriment of innovators and competition. It is the antithesis of capitalism.
Unless we have the will to stop this sort of cronyism, we're on a short road to failure. This is another, in a long line of government programs, that are unsustainable, destructive and just flat something government shouldn't be involved in.
But my guess is, this time next year, we'll still be talking about it, politicians will still be condemning it and nothing will change except the higher national debt number.

Why Is The President Pushing Pond Scum?
Well the Washington Free Beacon has an idea:
President Obama's most recent green energy fixation—algae—may suffer from the accusations of cronyism that have plagued his broader effort to promote non-fossil fuel energy sources through massive federal subsidies.
May suffer? Read on:
Solazyme, a San Francisco-based firm that specializes in the plant matter, has received more than $25 million in federal grants and contracts as part of Obama administration's controversial stimulus package, and is poised to receive millions more as part of the president's recent efforts to promote green biofuels such as algae.
The firm employs a former member of the Obama-Biden transition team who, according to one online bio, "played a key role in developing the energy provisions in the economic stimulus bill."
That's right, the usual – crony capitalism. And in this case, you get a twofer. San Fran Nan's district benefits.
Be nice if the guy who claimed he was going to change "politics as we know it" wouldn't revert to "politics as usual" at every opportunity to pad his re-election campaign and help out his cronies, huh?

Peter Schiff engages OWS and makes some good points
Watch and listen. Schiff makes a lot of points we've been hitting for years. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of capitalism and what it is that drives a lot of the OWS supporters to focus on the wrong entities. Schiff has a lively discussion with them. Interestingly some agree and some simply won't take the ideological blinders off. You'll quickly identify who is who.

More Econ 101, more lies
Have you been following the latest gambit of our president? It's time to pull the youth vote back to him with some candy. Taxpayer candy of course. In his latest "policy" swing, he's offering a way out of student loans to … students with loans, of course.
And of course there's the convenient lie – you can essentially get something for next to nothing. Go borrow money and the government will help you "satisfy" the loan after so many years if you do things like "public service". Oh, and it will never cost you more than 10% of your salary … so go for it.
Wait, one more thing from the Candy Man as he addressed a crowd of college students at the University of Colorado's Denver campus:
But, he added, "young guys, I need you involved, I need you active … I need you to get the word out."
Of course that's code for "hey, vote for me and I'll solve all your student loan problems". Cronyism at its finest and all without legislation. Wasn't it the Democrats who said they feared the "executive President". But I digress.
Here's the basic truth:
But the colleges fees have to be paid somehow, even when repayments are stopped, said Burke. Sooner or later, this "will ultimately result in tax increases — in putting this on the backs of three-quarters of Americans who did not graduate from college."
Working-class people will end up paying for middle-class graduates' basket-weaving and women's studies degrees, she said.
That's right … these are government guaranteed loans. So they will be paid. The creditor doesn't care who pays it. The student or the taxpayer. So what Obama is more than willing to do is to buy votes today, by executive order, for taxpayer bailouts of deadbeat students tomorrow.
Obama is "shifting the burden of paying for college to all of those Americans who did not graduate from college — the waitresses, construction workers, mechanics — and that should infuriate the taxpayers who worked hard to pay off their loans, who decided to live a modest lifestyle to pay off their loans," said Lindsey Burke, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation.
Obama's policy is also widening the class division between working-class Americans and those with college credentials, said Matthew Denhart, a researcher at the Center for College Affordability and Productivity in Washington, D.C.
In case you were wondering, Colorado is a swing state and one in which polls show the Candy Man below 50%.
Crony Capitalism isn't the only form of cronyism in the world as Barack Obama (and politicians of all stripes) have been proving for years. And all funded by your money.

Joe Biden: Scaring the little people in flyover land
In another version of the "pushing granny over the cliff" scare which typified the resistance mounted by Democrats to Social Security reform, VP Joe Biden is out there trying to scare the people about crime in order to spend more on shoring up the Democratic base (more political cronyism) to be found in teacher's and public servant's unions:
"Murder will continue to rise, rape will continue to rise, all crimes will continue to rise," if the Democrats agenda isn't passed, he added.
Because, you know, there's a direct correlation between murder, rape and the number of cops on the beat.
Except both murder and rape stats have been in a downward trend since 2006. In 2006 the murder rate per 100,000 was 5.7, rape 30.9.
In 2010 the rate for murder was 4.8 and rape 27.5. In the two intervening years, those numbers continued to fall. And we all know we've been in the recession for at least 3 years and there have been cutbacks in police during that time.
So, unsurprisingly Biden is wrong and is pushing a myth (they'll "continue rising") when in fact, the stats show a steady drop for the past 4 years.
But he's shameless in his fact free attack:
Then in the same speech he wished Republicans were themselves rape victims. "I wish they had some notion of what it was like to be on the other side of a gun, or [to have] a 200-pound man standing over you, telling you to submit."
Amazing. Vice President of the US and trying to pull this political hackery complete with the usual scare tactics off. Of course, look at his boss.

Harry Reid: Crony jobs bill to shore up the political base
If you've ever wanted a good argument against seniority as a good way to pick leaders, Harry Reid is your poster boy. The Nevada Democratic Senator and House Majority leader manages to make himself look stupid on any number of occasions during a legislative year. His latest:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday indicated Congress needs to worry about government jobs more than private-sector jobs, and that this is why Senate Democrats are pushing a bill aimed at shoring up teachers and first-responders.
"It's very clear that private-sector jobs have been doing just fine; it's the public-sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers, and that's what this legislation is all about," Reid said on the Senate floor.
Really? That's the sector "government" needs to worry about more because "private-sector jobs have been doing just fine?" Where in the world, other than the Senate cloak room, has this man been?
What this is, and anyone who can't figure this out doesn't deserve to be in a political discussion, is just another version of cronyism. Teachers unions and government unions are where you find the Democrat base. This is throwing taxpayer money to that base in order to shore it up for the upcoming election. Nothing more.
He has access to your tax dollars and spending them in this way benefits his party. Screw the country, he has an election to win. Of course he's also the Senate leader who hasn't offered a budget in over 900 days. That's dereliction of duty.
Reid reiterated his emphasis on creating government jobs by saying Democrats are looking to "put hundreds of thousands of people back to work teaching children, have more police patrolling our streets, firefighters fighting our fires, doing the rescue work that they do so well … that's our priority." He said Republicans are calling the bill a "failure" because they are "using a different benchmark for success than we are."
Yeah, they're using the private sector where jobs generate revenue for taxes to pay for all the nonsense Reid spouts.
Government workers are not producers in the sense of the production we need to get the economy going. But they are voters. This is an attempt to keep them in the Democratic corral long enough to get Democrats re-elected. Then Harry probably won't care very much again.
Remember, when Obama was calling for his jobs bill to be given priority, Harry Reid was on the Senate floor expounding on the virtue of … bike paths (and, naturally, calling for government to pay for them).
Ever get the idea that we're all now serfs on a huge plantation paying for the whims of our "leaders".

More ObamaCare waivers an indication that it is bad law
There's a lot being written and said about the latest batch of ObamaCare waivers and the fact that many have gone to companies in Nancy Pelosi's area. And, of course, the agency granting them has claimed that Pelosi had absolutely no effect on them being granted.
Okay, that's not the important point anyway. Tim Pawlenty actually manages to stumble across it as he claims cronyism in their grant:
"I don't blame people for trying to get out from underneath it — that it is an awful law," Pawlenty said. "But when you have that many needs for exemptions, it tells you that the law — it is a warning sign that the law is broken and doesn't work."
Ya think? You have about 26 or 27 states challenging the Constitutionality of the bill and its individual mandate. You have hundreds, if not thousands of companies, agencies and businesses seeking waivers. And obviously, there's an organization in place to grant those waivers. Imagine a job where you review and grant waivers to a law. I don't know about you, but that would tell me there must be something fundamentally wrong with it.
Pawlenty is also correct about his broader point – those without the ability to appeal for a waiver are stuck with paying the piper:
"Another example of really crony politics or crony capitalism, if you've got the right connections, the right lobbyists, the right interest group, you get your special deal, and the rest of us get our wallet out, and that's in the tax code, it's in earmarking, and now you see it in ObamaCare."
Yes, exactly. His larger point is absolutely correct. Those without the connections do indeed end up having our wallets looted. Cronyism is certainly alive and well and very prevalent not only in the treatment of ObamaCare, but in other areas as well. Which brings up an ironic point – for the party of "fairness" this seems singularly unfair. Yet Democrats aid and abet it – in fact, just like Republicans, they use this sort of process to gain favor with certain constituencies … at the expense of others. And by expense, I'm including paying the bill too.
ObamaCare is an obviously wretched law. What was supposed to be insurance reform ended up being a polyglot of government bureaucracy at a huge and unaffordable price.
Now we hear the House GOP members saying that repealing it is "hard". We hear candidates like Romney and Gingrich saying they agree with parts of it, like the individual mandate. Cronyism is directly linked to power – it's a give and take process that benefits politicians. It comes as no surprise to me that both sides are engaged in it up to their necks. The problem is it is unlikely to ever get fixed since it is the fox guarding the hen house and enjoying the job.

text: I was using Outlook 2010 on Win7 with a different email host. I used gSyncit to sync my calendar and tasks to Pocket Informant Online which in turn synced to Pocket Informant on my iPhone 5. When I switched to Zimbra, the zdb created by Outlook file is only partially compatible with gSyncit (which is designed for pst files). Some appointments sync, but most of my recurring appointments produce a "Not a legal OleAut date" error which indicates a problem reading the appointment's end date. Recreating the recurring appointments didn't help. If there's no fix for this, I'll have to make a decision about going back to my old system (I'd rather not) or staying with Zimbra and giving up Pocket Informant (equally disappointing). Does anyone know of a fix or workaround?

Dr. Wallach starts the show discussing the fact that many areas of the U.S. are experiencing triple digit temperatures. Asserting the importance of staying properly hydrated. Contending that water alone is not enough to replace the soup of nutrients that are lost through sweating. Recommending one ounce of Yougevity's "Rebound FX" product in one quart of water as a good method of staying properly hydrated.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach disucss a news story concerning "wrong-site" surgery. An 86 year old Rhode Island man went in to have blood removed from from the left side of his brain. Unfortunately the surgeon operated on the other side of his brain. According to the Archives of Surgery some 1300 to 2700 "wrong-site" surgeries occur each year. In Pennsylvania alone this happens on average once a week.

Key, Mechanical Bank, Duro, Mercury
This original key unlocks the coin compartment on a Mercury model metal bank manufactured by Duro Pattern & Mold Co. of Highland Park (Detroit), Michigan in the early 1950s. Although labeled on its packaging only as a "Rocket Bank," this model was known as the Mercury model. Shaped like a comic-book-style rocket ship, with curved sides and a pointed end, the Duro Mercury bank had a mechanism that allowed the owner to shoot coins (pennies, nickels, or dimes) into a slot in the "nose cone" of the bank. The key opened a hatch on the underside of the bank through which the coins could be retrieved.
Raymond Reines donated this bank to the Museum in 2011.
Gift of Raymond R. Reines. Dedicated to the Berzac Family, in honor of Team NASA.

I have a Suntour BB with Suntour Sprint cranks.
Just got a Shimano 600 Crank, (I wanted longer arms).
They are both square taper but the Suntour cranks go about 7/8 of the way on the spindle and then get tightened.
The Shimano crank goes almost all the way onto the spindle to the BB shell.
I am guessing the BB is not the correct taper for the Shimano crank since if tightened it would be against the BB shell.
Any ideas?

Butler (11-4-4, 5-1-3) vs.
St. Bonaventure (8-10-1, 5-4-0)
|Thursday, Nov. 1 - 1:30 p.m. ET
|Kingston, R.I. - URI Soccer Complex
|Live Stats | Twitter | Championship Central | Watch Live
Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year Sophia Maccagnone and the Butler Bulldogs will look to continue their historic season when they face off against St. Bonaventure Thursday in the semifinal round of the 2012 A-10 Women's Soccer Championship in Kingston, R.I.
Fourth-seeded Butler is enjoying its winningest campaign since 2002 when the squad recorded a record of 15-6, 5-1. The Bulldogs (11-4-4, 5-1-3) have already clinched the school record for fewest losses in a single season and have lost just once since Sept. 7.
Led by a stalwart defensive unit, the Bulldogs lead the A-10 in goals against average (0.69) and shutouts (10). This year's squad has allowed just 14 goals, the fewest in team history (20 in 1997).
Offensively, the Bulldogs are paced by Maccagnone, the team's first conference rookie/newcomer of the year since Kate Lord in 2002. Maccagnone's 11 goals are the most by a freshman in school history, tying Joy Aschenbrener's mark set in 1995.
Thursday's meeting will be the first match-up between Butler and St. Bonaventure.
The fifth-seeded Bonnies (8-10-1, 5-4-0) will enter the contest riding a three-match win streak.
St. Bonaventure is led by sophomore midfielder Brittany Charles, who has scored two goals and dished out eight assists on the year.
Senior defender Shannon Van Riper and sophomore forward Molly Curry lead the Bonnies offense, scoring five and four goals, respectively.
The winner of Thursday's match will play the winner of the No. 1 LaSalle - No. 8 Charlotte contest.

Project Description
The Project is a Girdler Nitric Acid Plant (NAP 1) located at a facility in East Dubuque, Illinois. NAP1 was commissioned in 1978. Plant specifications include a nameplate nitric acid production capacity of 220 short tons per day, a typical gauze campaign length of 120 days, operational 330 days per year, oxidation pressure of 120 psig, and a flue gas temperature of approximately 1000 to 1100 F. Project owners have retained ClimeCo America Corporation to engineer the fit-up of the CRI Catalyst N2O tertiary system and oversee all aspects of the CAR process. The CRI teriary catalyst is designed to oxidize 95% or greater of the inlet N2O concentration. The N2O catalyst will be installed downstream of the Ammonia Oxidation Reactor (AOR) and upstream of the tail gas expander. The installation will include a new N2O analyzer designed by EcoChem. The new CEM will be located upstream of the tertiary catalyst. Project owners have already installed and performed a RATA on the N2O analyzer and mass flow meter for the downstream location. The start-up of the system occurred on or before July 1, 2011.nnhttps://thereserve2.apx.com/mymodule/reg/prjView.asp?id1=811

text: On linux, readline completion queries whether you really want to complete when there are many items, and also runs the completion query list through pager. I'm starting to feel this is rather annoying, and against the typical ipython usage patterns. You can disable it by doing: import readline readline.parse_and_bind('set completion-query-items 1000') readline.parse_and_bind('set page-completions no') Is there anyone that actually likes the default behaviour? I'm asking this because I'd like to change the default behaviour to give a better out-of-the-box experience for linux users. If there is someone that likes the default behaviour, I'll add these (commented out, of course) in template ipy_user_conf.py. Otherwise, I'll add it to ipy_defaults.py or ipy_profile_sh.py -- Ville M. Vainio - vivainio.googlepages.com blog=360.yahoo.com/villevainio - g[mail | talk]='vivainio'

BERKELEY - Former Cal men's water polo player Mike Sample (2006-09) has made a habit helping people, but saving someone's life certainly classifies him as a hero. Sample was one of a group of people honored last week by the American Red Cross of Marin for performing heroic deeds. For a video of the event on ABC Channel 7 click Here.
On June 18, 2011, Sample, former Cal swimmer Kenny Bower and former Johns Hopkins water polo player Chris Hanson were on a ferry near Angel Island.
Sample tells what happened next on that fateful day:
We were traveling back from Tiburon to San Francisco on the Blue and Gold Ferry. The boat makes a stop on the backside of Angel Island to pick up day hikers. The ferry docked in the harbor and was waiting for people to board. I was with a group of people including Kenny (Bower) and Chris (Hanson) and other friends standing on the outside back deck when we noticed a kayak had flipped over and a woman was trying to swim herself to safety. The back of the ferry (where were located) was facing the beach.
She was fully clothed and not a strong swimmer. The crowd on our ferry started screaming, "help them...where did he go?...where did he go?...someone do something." There was another ferry parked behind ours and the crew was attempting to throw a life ring into the water and a rope to help the woman. People kept yelling, "where did he go?..where did he go?..do something. Get him out of the water." I didn't actually see the man fall out of the kayak, nor did I see him in the water, until about 30 second later when he floated to the surface with his head down and his body lifeless.
At that point it became clear that someone needed to do something fast or the man may die. No one was jumping into the water to save him and his wife did not seem strong enough in the water to help.
Kenny and I are fairly experienced ocean swimmers. Our friends knew this and one turned to me and said, "Sample, do something, go get him." I leaped off the back of the ferry and Kenny and Chris joined in. I got to Jim (Thompson), flipped him over and his eyes were rolled to the back of his head. Jim had white foam coming from his mouth. I braced his neck and grabbed him by his pants and started egg beating (a treading water technique used in water polo) to the closest dock.
It was about a 25-yard swim to reach Jim from the Blue and Gold Ferry, and another 20 or so yards to the dock. Kenny and Chris each grabbed one of Jim's legs and all three of us swam him to the dock. Kenny began yelling for a back board and the Angel Island Rangers showed up and lifted Jim out of the water. A tourist on Angel Island, who happened to be a doctor, saw all of this unfold and began performing CPR. The rangers shoved tubes down Jim's mouth and forced air into his lungs. He was lifeless, but by the time the helicopter landed on the island's beach I believe the Rangers had got Jim's pulse back, although he was still unconscious. The Rangers airlifted Jim out of the park and we gave our report to the Park Rangers.
We did not hear whether Jim had survived or not for about five days, until we received a phone call telling us he had made it.
Jim received our contact information from the Park Rangers and reached out to thank us. He wanted to meet those who had saved him and take them out to a "thank you" brunch.
About four months after one of the craziest days of our lives, and certainly a crazy day for Jim, we joined him and his extended family (nieces, nephews, grandchildren, kids and wife) for a delicious brunch at Sam's in Tiburon. Chris, Kenny, and I along with the tourist doctor were all invited. We all went.
Jim had made a full recovery and is alive!
Mike Sample was a member of Cal's 2006 and 2007 national championship squads and team captain for the Bears in 2009. Also in 2009, Sample was the recipient of the Walter A. Haas, Jr. Community Service Award given to a student-athlete for outstanding contribution to community service. A three-time member of the ACWPC and MPSF All-Academic Teams majoring in interdisciplinary studies, Sample concluded his Cal career with 39 goals, 72 assists and 58 steals in 104 matches.
Most recently, Sample was involved with the April 15 "Swim With Mike" fundraiser at Spieker Aquatics Complex. "Swim With Mike" helps raise funds for students who have overcome life-challenging accidents or illnesses, be able to pursue both undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Tim Eyman proposed a new initiative on Monday that would chop billions out of the state budget unless the Legislature moves ahead with a constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds vote to approve new taxes.
The state Supreme Court ruled last year that requiring a two-thirds vote in the Legislature to raise taxes was unconstitutional and said only a constitutional amendment could put such a restriction in place.
Democrats, who control the House and the Governor's Office, have not been interested in doing that. Changing the state constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate, and simple-majority approval by voters.
Voters first authorized the two-thirds requirement in 1993. They reimposed it in 1998, 2007 and 2010 and reaffirmed it in 2012, at least in part because of lawmakers' penchant for suspending the requirement to raise more revenue.
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Eyman, who makes his living sponsoring initiatives, successfully sponsored measures in the past to keep the two-thirds requirement on the books — until the Supreme Court ruling.
Eyman's new proposal would reduce the state sales tax by a penny, cutting the state portion from 6.5 to 5.5 percent. That would represent about $1 billion a year in lost revenue. The Legislature could prevent the tax cut by putting a two-thirds constitutional amendment on the ballot.
Eyman is aiming the initiative for the November ballot but will need to get at least 246,372 valid signatures for it to qualify.
Under state law, it takes a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to amend an initiative in the first two years after voters approve it. After two years, lawmakers can change voter-approved initiatives with a simple-majority vote.
Eyman said that while state lawmakers might call his proposed initiative blackmail, "we would say we're giving them a strong financial incentive to let the people vote."

Pong iPad Case Review
We recently had the opportunity to try out the Pong iPad 2 Case. We've been so pleased with it that we haven't seen our old case since this one arrived.
What we love about the Pong case is the incredible array of features. Some of our favorites include:
- The soft leather faux cover that can be folded into a a variety of configurations.
- The cover puts the iPad to sleep when closing it and wakes it up when opening.
- Pong is the only case certified by the FCC certified laboratories to protect users from electromagnetic radiation. Pong's patented antenna technology spreads and redistributes the electromagnetic radiation lowering the specific absorption rate by up to 82% below FCC limits.
- The unique design and technology allows the iPad 2's antenna to be exposed at all times which keeps the transmission power optimized.
The Pong case is durable, attractive, stylish, and lightweight. Folding it up in various ways is fun and allows us to turn the iPad into a vertical or horizontal stand in a number of ways.
Here's a video of some of the ways we like to use the case.
We recommend the Pong iPad 2 Case because of the features mention above and when you use the iPad as much as we do, it's nice to know we are being protected from electromagnetic radiation simply by using the case. Pong also offers a number of cases that protect against cell phone radiation as well. And the Pong New iPad Wifi and 4G LTE cases will be available for shipping in late April.
To learn more about Pong cases, "Like" Pong on Facebook.

WATCH: How condoms are made
- 7
Wed 28th Mar, 2012 in International News
A lot of work goes into your condoms – and a new video from the Trojan brand sheds light on what actually happens in condom factories around the world.
Wearing condoms and using water-based lube for sex is the best method for protecting yourself from HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, so it's important that each condom meets exacting medical standards – and since each one has a shelf-life of five years, make sure you check the use-by date on the packet before you slip it on.
Here's a behind-the-scene look at the Trojan factory which produces 1 million condoms daily:
The video emerges in a week when social media geeks are giggling about the similarity between the names of new Android phones and condom types.
As the graph below shows, 'Desire', 'Sensation', 'Touch', 'Cruise' and even 'Wildfire' are all names given to both Android phones and condoms.

Microsoft's Windows Phone Marketplace has now reached 20,000 applications.
The software giant only recently announced that it had 18,000 applications, during a VIP Windows Phone Mango event earlier this week. Microsoft has approved over 1,200 apps just this week, further evidence of the Marketplace growth rate. Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 Marketplace has taken 219 days to reach 20,000 apps since launch. Apple's iPhone App Store took 215 days and Google's Android store took 419 days. The speed of application growth shows that Microsoft is doing well with its app momentum.
Marketplace trackers windowsphoneapplist.com is currently tracking 19,789 apps in the U.S. Marketplace alone. WP7applist is tracking 20,185 applications worldwide and explains 1,166 of them are inactive, 48% are available for free and the average price is $1.45 per paid application. Microsoft's Windows Phone Marketplace is growing at an impressive rate. The software giant added 3,000 applications in April alone after reaching its 12,000 milestone in late March. The Marketplace passed 15,000 apps in April just in time for its six month birthday. WP7applist says that 175 apps are updated on average each day. In the last 24 hours, 99 apps were updated and 288 were added.
Windows Phone 7 launched on October 26 with 1,000 applications available. Six months later and the platform has increased impressively. Microsoft appears to be building up a good momentum amongst application developers. Microsoft says it now has over 32,000 Windows Phone application developers, who deliver an average of 100 new apps per day. The Windows Phone Developer Tools have now been downloaded more than one million times.
Despite delays with its first platform update, "NoDo", developers have a lot to look forward to this year. Microsoft's new Nokia partnership is a great opportunity for new and existing developers as more and more consumers take advantage of Windows Phone. Nokia said recently that it plans to ship Windows Phone branded devices to developers when they are available later this year. Nokia is currently engineering Windows Phone devices and is expected to wait for "Mango", the next version of Windows Phone, until it unveils them later this year. "Mango", the codename for what will likely be named Windows Phone 7.5, is currently in the final development stages at Microsoft. The software giant revealed a number of new enhancements recently and promised over 500 features at launch. Nokia has also promised a batch of Windows Phone Mango devices, due later this year.

A rumor circulating around cyberspace that Kroger plans to locate a new store in Simpsonville is false, company officials said.
"It is a hot rumor," said Kroger spokesperson Tim McGuirk, who said Wednesday he has gotten several media inquiries about the topic.
"We're not sure where the rumor got started, but we do not have any plans [to locate] in Simpsonville right now."
A real estate-oriented website called bestofshelbycountyky.com has a post called,
A Shelbyville resident is the owner and operator of music schools in Middletown and St. Matthews in Louisville.
Brian Curella and his wife, Heather, and three children moved to Shelbyville from Jefferson County seven years ago after falling in love with a historic home on Main Street.
Curella, who has been in the music business his entire life, established his school, called the Flying Hands of Music School, in 1997.
A music enthusiast from an early age, he began playing the guitar at age 9 and played his first "gig," at the age of 11.
Pennyman, a thrift and consignment shop, formerly located at Washington and 8th streets, has moved to 702 Main Street.
The shop is in its third year of operation, and is owned by three sisters, Nancy Winters, Judith Nigh and Kristen Basham, and features home goods, furniture and home accessories.
Nigh encourages people to check out the shop's Facebook page.
If you going shopping for products from Shelby County farmers, you won't find very much in Shelbyville stores, farmers say.
One reason, said Mary Courtney, who owns Courtney Farms on Vigo Road along with her husband, Shane, said there's not as much demand for fresh produce in Shelby County as there is in Jefferson County.

"We don't really do specials," said Jason Baker, area manager for TNT fireworks.

I would usually be cool with this transition, newer is better, right? But I honestly can't see anything "new" in newer versions of Skype. Chat, voice, video... still the same, just more RAM usage, more FB integration nags, and more ads. Also lack of API - which borked my PBX system.
I can't receive calls anymore on my PBX, I would have to purchase SkypeConnect. 7-8$ for having ONE Skype SIP channel? Geeez... for that kind of money, I can buy a few virtual phone numbers in the US, Canada and Europe, usually with more than one inbound call channel.
I'm just wondering how long will all those Skype-enabled TV hold on before a newer version kills it too.

Hi all,
I know this is a 99% chance that I am doing something both wrong and foolish here but I can not get the zmslapcat -c command to work in a migration from a 32 bit server to a 64 bit server
The Zimbra server is running on Centos 5.2 and is version 6.0.12. I am following the Wiki guide for migration from 32 to 64 but fall at the first hurdle!
I have no trouble with this line in the Wiki
'6. Backup the LDAP data, as zimbra, type /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat /backup'
it creates an ldap.bak file in the /backup directory and I run this as the Zimbra user but I can't get this one to work
'5. On ZCS 6.0 and later, backup the LDAP config database, as zimbra, type /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat -c /backup'.
All I ever get is something like
'mkdir: invalid option -- c
Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
-c/ldap.bak.20110830154307: No such file or directory
cp: invalid option -- /
Try `cp --help' for more information.'
I have created a /backup directory with the zimbra user and group having permission to access, read and write to it. What am I doing wrong? If it is permissions to the folder then why does the standard zmslapcat command work fine?
I know it must be something simple but need a nudge in the right direction

I am trying to install ZCS 7.1.0 RHEL5_64 in my CentOS 5.5 64bit with the --platform-override. Everything goes fine until my DNS resolvation.
My hostname is mail.myfriend.co.in and my DNS records are managed by my domain registrar. The A record points to my public IP. and the MX record mail.myfriend.co.in also points to my public IP. I have done port forwarding of port numbers 22, 25, 80, 443, 143, 993, 110, 995, 389, 7025, 194 to my local IP 192.168.2.25.
Here i have attached my installation procedure and the error msg. as a text file (dns-resolvation). and also i here are the entries in my /etc/hosts file and the /etc/resolv.conf file.
cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
220.127.116.11 mail.myfriend.co.in mail
cat /etc/resolv.conf
search myfriend.co.in
nameserver 184.108.40.206
nameserver 220.127.116.11
please look for the error in the attachment and guide me. what is the additional configuration has to be done.
