Breaking Medical News and In Depth Medical Stories
(January 14, 2011 - Insidermedicine)
Increasing the number of steps taken every day can help promote weight loss and metabolic health among middle aged adults, according to research published in the British Medical Journal.
Here are some tips to help you take more steps every day:
• Leave your car at home –try walking or public transportation instead
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator
• Finish your lunch break with a quick stroll around the neighborhood
Researchers from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute measured the body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, and insulin sensitivity of nearly 600 middle-aged adults. The investigators also gave the participants pedometers and showed them how to use them to measure the number of steps they take every day. Five years later, the participants were re-assessed.
Increasing the number of steps takien daily during the five-year study period was associated with a lower BMI and waist-to-hip ratio. It was also associated with greater insulin sensitivity, which is a sign of good metabolic health. These associations were not affected by how much the participants ate. The investigators estimated that sedentary individuals who attained a goal of taking 10,000 steps a day would see three times the improvement in insulin sensitivity as those who only increased their activity to 3,000 steps a day, five days a week.
Today's research adds to the mounting evidence that increasing daily activity levels is important for good health.

ALBANY — Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said members will vote tonight on "everything," including new legislative district lines. Voting was not scheduled to begin before 7:30 at the earliest.
Many have said Gov. Andrew Cuomo was using his leverage over the redistricting process, where lawmakers fear he could veto lines ahead of a federal court appearance on Thursday, as the "glue" to win concessions in other areas.
It appears that's the case, with votes coming tonight on plans to restructure the state's pension system, expand a DNA databank and legalize casino gambling.
"The final discussions are still taking place, but I believe we have a deal," Silver said.
Sources in the Assembly Democratic conference said:
— The databank will be expanded to include all crimes except misdemeanor marijuana possession. Having a small amount of marijuana is a non-criminal violation, but if it is visible, police officers can arrest someone and charge them with a misdemeanor. It's the difference between taking the pot out of your pockets or not. There will also be provisions allowing defense attorneys greater access to the database to help prove innocence. It will implement "full discovery" for previously convicted defendants. Criminal defense lawyers can ask prosecutors for everything learned in the course of an investigation, whether or not the prosecution is used the information to build its case.
— There will not be a defined-contribution option, like a 401(k), in the pension plan, the sources said, and it would require a 10-year vesting period. According to two sources, the minimum retirement age will be set at 63 (Gov. Andrew Cuomo had proposed moving it to 65) and workers making less than $45,000 will not be required to contribute additional money to their retirement. The NYPD and FDNY would be exempted from the plan.
— Up to seven casinos will be allowed off Indian lands, with minimal restrictions.
This should greatly expedite passage of the state budget, which must be passed by April 1.

Quote of the day from JK at Three Sources.
After noting 0.6% growth in q1_2008
So, like New Coke® and Coke Classic®, we have a classic recession, where the economy suffers two consecutive quarters or negative GDP growth, and a "New" recession where a Republican is in the White House and growth is sub par. Got it.

Construction inquiry could derail Charest
It is precisely because Jean Charest remembers the Cliche Commission that he's been dragging his feet for more than two years in appointing an inquiry into corruption and violence in Quebec's construction industry.
In 1974-75, long before all-news TV channels, the sensational hearings of the Cliche Commission took down the Liberal government of Robert Bourassa, just as a public inquiry might lead to the same fate for Charest.
Along the way, the Cliche Commission made stars of commission member Brian Mulroney and lead counsel Lucien Bouchard, later prime minister of Canada and premier of Quebec, respectively.
In those days, the tactics of the Quebec Federation of Labour's construction wing included intimidation of its members, with one leader running a loan-sharking operation.
At the massive James Bay construction site, a union leader got on a track, destroyed generators and fuel tanks, and burned the workers' sleeping quarters to the ground.
In all of this, the government looked the other way, and the public was disgusted.
Thirty-five years on, we have come full circle.
Charest's own anti-corruption watchdog, former Montreal police chief Jacques Duchesneau, has turned in a scathing report saying the mob and biker gangs have infiltrated the construction industry, laundering drug and extortion money through it, while companies do their own money laundering, making illegal corporate donations to all political parties through employees who pass on "bonuses."
Duchesneau called for some kind of public or private inquiry and last week Charest finally named a commission to be led by Quebec Superior Court Judge France Charbonneau.
But at first it wasn't clear whether she'd have subpoena power, or the power to compel testimony under pain of contempt of court, or the grant of immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony. The question of how much of the inquiry would be closed, and how much would be open to the media glare, was left hanging.
In the ensuing public uproar, Charest back-pedaled from one day to the next. At the opening of a Liberal policy convention last Friday, he said Judge Charbonneau would have subpoena power if she wanted it.
By the close of the convention on Sunday, he said she could ask for a full public inquiry if she preferred, "and I don't see any reason why I would refuse her."
Well, no, it's up to the government to define her mandate. That's his job, not hers.
And in terms of managing the message, the message changed from one day to the next. It's not that the government looked corrupt, it looked incompetent.
But just as Charest put himself in a very bad place, he caught a huge break this week when the QFL construction wing, the same guys who brought you the Cliche Commission, staged wildcat strikes at Quebec's 100 largest construction sites.
Because of a bill to strip the QFL and another union of their right to decide which workers, and how many, are to be hired on construction sites.
Just to make sure Quebec got the message, someone threatened to break Labour Minister Lise Theriault's legs if she went ahead with the bill to break the union hold over the industry.
Meanwhile, no one in Quebec has been able to answer the simple question of why it costs 30% more to build a road in Quebec than Ontario.
Maybe it's the colder weather.

If you are looking for a great addition to your home workshop equipment, consider purchasing some air tools. These tools are so versatile for a wide variety of tasks, and may be used during many weather conditions, even in the rain Air tools may be used in the rain as they do not use any electrical current. As such, they may be used near water or rainy conditions without carrying the risk of severe electrical shock. While most air compressors contained within tools require an electrical current, there are portable models that operate with gas power instead, requiring no electricity, and thereby dramatically improving the usability of the tool. Considering the aforementioned fact, it should be no surprise why air tools are popular. Furthermore, air tool models require far less maintenance and typically last much longer than their electrical counterparts. The sheer amount of tasks you can achieve using the gas powered air compressor really is quite astounding.!br>
You will require an Air Compressor to use any type of air tool, like an impact wrench. Of course, the air tool runs on air power, just like the name portrays. As such the air tool requires a powerful air supply. An air compressor can supply your tool with the power it needs. Most air tools actually only require a small air compressor to properly run. However, the larger the air compressor, the more power you will be able to deliver to your air tool and the greater it's associated usage. Additionally, a larger air reservoir tank is recommended for your air compressor, as all air tools require high volumes of air. Personally, I am quite pleased with my portable 2HP, 6.4 gallon air compressor that can generate up to 7.8CFM. I bring my compressor with me in order to use all my varying air tools, such as the Ingersoll Rand 2115TI. Since I use my air tools with high frequency, the reservoir tank often drains rapidly, which translates into the air compressor running longer in order to generate power to my air tools. As such, I highly recommend that you look for an air compressor unit that has a tank at least 6.4 gallons or greater in size. Additionally, the CFM rating is highly important in order to get the best possible use of your air tools. As aforementioned, a larger compressor tank for air compressors is far better than a smaller one. Be aware that the larger sizes for air compressors will be more expensive.
A common tool that can be run with an air compressor is an Impact Wrench, and as such, there is a particular model that is highly recommended.
That model is the Ingersoll Rand 231C 1/2-inch Super Duty Air Impact Wrench. This is a high quality model that is durable enough to be used by the vast majority of mechanics, but is simple to use for the average person. The Ingersoll Rand Impact Wrench model utilizes a pressure fed lubrication, an adjustable power regulator, and a excellent handle that allows the tool to be used for a wider variety of tasks than its competitors. Additionally, the model is fairly priced, making it affordable for both the professional mechanic and DYI weekender. The The Ingersoll Rand Impact Wrench enjoys excellent customer reviews, all which verify the model's high quality, long lasting durability, and substantial torque power. Although this model will run you approximately $100, it is truly a cost-effective tool when considering all the tasks it can perform, as well as the highly rated durability. If you require a 3/8" size instead of the standard 1/2", consider the Ingersoll Rand 2115TI - much like it's smaller cousin, this high quality tool will meet all of your demands and exceed expectations.

text: My Etsy shop is open again this weekend with some new fabric bundles! There are bundles of three 1-yard cotton/linen fabrics and bundles of two 2-yard cuts of double gauze. I was thinking that two yards is the right amount for clothing and one yard for bags or pillows. There are limited quantities since this is a fabric destash! I'm whittling down my supply to a manageable level so that perhaps I'll have some space in my sewing room to…I don't know, sew or something?!

Astroinformatics is a recent interdisciplinary field of science that applies modern computational tools to the solution of astronomical problems. The field was born in response to the rapid growth of data volumes corresponding to a variety of sky surveys. Data repositories have gone from gigabytes into terabytes, and we expect those repositories to reach the terabytes in the coming years. An important area in astroinformatics is the application of data mining tools for analysis of large astronomical repositories and surveys. Key issues involve not only an efficient management of data resources, but also the design of new conceptual tools that efficiently address the nature of astronomical data. Astroinformatics intersects with a variety of research areas such as data organization, data description, astronomical classification taxonomies, data mining, machine learning, visualization, and astrostatistics.
August 17, 2013: New extended deadline for full workshop papers.
Note that the June 21st deadline is for the main conference and not for this workshop. You are still on time to send a contribution to our workshop on Astroinformatics!

It was not exactly a grand summit of the minds when Randi Rhodes welcomed Cher onto her radio show on Wednesday for almost 20 minutes. First Cher worried about food stamp cuts under President Romney: "If 46 million people have food stamps and Mitt Romney said that was the first thing he was gonna do, then what do those people do?"
Rhodes snapped back: "Yeah exactly it's a good question. What do they do? [Joking] They start eating each other. It is the zombie apocalypse, I am sure. I really am. "
Cher added: "Well, look, I've been alive for 12 presidents, and I've never seen anything like it. These people are the scariest – this is the scariest time I've ever had in my life, and like, I can't believe – I can't believe we're fighting the birth control thing again." Minutes later, she complained about pro-lifers: "Poor women have no choice. They're just going to be subjected to all these rules that these old white guys come up with. How they ever got control of our bodies – I just don't understand it. How could some guy have control over my reproductive functions?"
Rhodes brought up how Sandra Fluke was called a slut by Rush Limbaugh, and Cher replied, "Who cares what he thinks, truthfully?" Then Rhodes and Cher went on a Glenn Beck-bashing jaunt:
RANDI: It just seemed to me that there's this epidemic of bullying - and that's what I, when I was looking at, you know, what was going on with you, and I was listening to Donald Trump and that mouth...and I'm thinking to myself, she's effing Cher, you're a game show host, shut up! But when I was looking at what was going on I realized, and I wanted to tell you this, just in case you're not aware of the bullying and how it really works. This was all picked up by uh Glenn Beck's website, The Blaze -- and that's where all these lunatics are coming from, okay, all they know how to do is bully people! They -
CHER: Wait a minute - didn't Glenn Beck have like several nervous breakdowns on his television show?
RANDI: I think he's still having a nervous breakdown! He was crying?
CHER: He was like - wasn't he crying and sobbing on his TV show all the time?
RANDI: He has, uh a need for, you know, uh, Prozac or something - he should follow the, the butterfly. I don't know what his deal is, but this is a guy who, you know, if given if he had his TV show he'd probably have your name up there and would drawing lines and connecting you to Woodrow Wilson! I don't understand him! I don't get it! I don't - I don't know what he was driving at, this whole episode, you know, when he got run off of the TV. I really don't know why he's such a case but he's a head case, there's no question.
CHER: You know what really is horrible too - like, you know, this is not the Republican Party of Lincoln or Nixon or Reagan the you know, - they are not the Republican Party, they are the Teapublican party, the Teapublican Party of Joe the Plumber. You know, it's -- it's insane to me and it seems like these are the most extreme people. I was watching this thing about it was a rally where they brought the outhouse -
RANDI: Yes, with the bullet holes in it!
CHER: Yeah, and - and it's - it's just amazing to me. I am in such shock about this that I can't - I keep thinking, this can't be happening and yet it is. It's like, I always thought that George Bush would be my biggest, you know, shock of my lifetime when he was President - but just seems - it seems it would be the good ol days to have him back.
RANDI: Well, I wouldn't go that far dear!
CHER: No.
Cher also insisted Mitt Romnney's rallies have no color to them. "You look at all of the stump speeches, and where are the people Where are real people? Where are the Latinos? Where are the Asians? Where are the black people? It's like fifty shades of white behind him."
Whites aren't "real people"? It's no wonder some called Cher a racist in social media. She replied, "I'm an inclusionist."

You can write and draw with every part of the object! I'm not quite sure how you draw without your entire hand turning grey from the lead but maybe that's a dumb question to ask.

The Assassination of JFK
What Happened?
On June 5, 1963, JFK agreed upon a presidential visit to Texas with three main goals in mind:
to help raise more Democratic Party presidential campaign fund contributions
to begin his quest for reelection
to help mend political fences among several leading Texas Democratic party members who appeared to be fighting politically amongst themselves
President Kennedy's trip to Dallas was first announced to the public in September 1963. His exact route was finalized on November 18 and announced to the public a few days before November 22.
On November 22, 1963, Kennedy and his wife arrive in Dallas at 11:40 AM.
Conspiracy Theories
Who was JFK?
JFK was elected in 1960 as the 35th president of the United States when he was 43 years old.
In his inaugural address, Kennedy called on his fellow Americans to work together in the pursuit of progress and the elimination of poverty, but also in the battle to win the ongoing Cold War against communism around the world.
What did he do?
During his presidency, Kennedy had to confront Cold War tensions in Cuba, Vietnam, and elsewhere.
He also led a renewed effort for public service and eventually provided federal support for the growing civil rights movement.
The motorcade began its route, and at 12:30 PM, three shots were fired.
First shot missed.
Second shot went through Kennedy's neck and hit Gov. Connally twice severely injuring him.
Third Shot hit Kennedy in the head.
Kennedy was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a nearby hospital.
Multiple Shooters
Government Plot
What the Government says
Whom Do We Agree With?
Zaprudor Film: A silent, color motion picture filmed by a private citizen named Abraham Zaprudor with a home camera. It is not the only video, but it is the most complete.
• In 1976 the House of Representatives created Select Committee on Assassinations
During these meetings scientists provided acoustic evidence of four shooters in Dealey Plaza
This contradicts the three shots by Lee Harvey Oswald, suggesting more shooters
Evidence For Theory
Many witnesses who's statements pointed to conspiracy were ignored or intimidated by the Warren
Some even received death threats
Allegations of mysterious or suspicious deaths of witnesses connected to the assassination
Jim Marr (writer) produced a list of 103 people he believed died "convenient deaths"
Many mafia figures were likely murdered to prevent them from revealing their knowledge
Evidence was confiscated, including photos and videos
Start at 2:48 for the "magic bullet"
12 Year-old boy named Mason at Sparks Middle School in Nevada.
Rushed to teachers aid, came face to face with shooter.
Shooter shot him in the abdomen, but bullet went around stomach.
• The CIA wanted to complete political assassinations on "dangerous" leaders of other countries
Fidel Castro; Vietnam's president Diem
They had alliance with Mafia members to complete these hits
• Lyndon B. Johnson was President John F. Kennedy's Vice President, therefore his successor
• On October 11, 1963 President John F. Kennedy signed National Security Action Memorandum no.263
Favors a reduced role of U.S. military in South Vietnam
One man named Lee Harvey Oswald Shot three bullets hitting the President twice and eventually killing him.
He was arrested 80 minutes later and charged.
Two days later he was shot and killed at the Dallas police station on live TV
Was killed by Jack Ruby
Acted alone without influence for reasons not completely known.
House Select Committee on Assassinations launched second major investigation in 1976.
analyzed recordings of the police radio transmissions
concluded from the recordings that there was at least one shot fired from grassy knoll
No rifleman has ever duplicated the shooting feat attributed to Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged single assassin.
one gunman scored two hits out of three shots in 6 to 9 seconds while firing at a moving target from 60 feet up using a Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle
Evidence for Theory
Killed by:
We as a group have decided upon the Governments released solution to the assassination. We believe that the theory that best fits the evidence is the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone to Kill President Kennedy.
In a 2003 Abc News poll, 70% of Americans reported that they believe Kennedy's death was part of broader plot.
Lee Harvey Oswald
Jack Ruby
Sharpshooter capable of making the shot.
Hired at the Texas School Book Depository on October 16th.
This was before Kennedy's route was planned and released on November 19th
Little connection with the mafia, had a history of losing his temper, if mob was responsible, a continuous cycle of killing would ensue in order to make sure no one would know He died on January 3, 1967 due to lung cancer
Explanation of "Magic Bullet"
Positions of the President and the Governor create a straight line that is possible to have been shot from Oswald's position.
Theory of the Secret Service Officer shot
Could account for "ghost shot" or one of the three shots.
Lee Harvey Oswald:
Oswald not in league with Cubans or Russians
neither could trust him as a defector (too obvious)
Castro was interviewed and stated that assassinating Kennedy would have led to the invasion of Cuba which is not what he wanted
CIA: no plausible connection to the CIA
nothing on being an informant or having any history with the CIA

Was O.J. Simpson suffering from a sports-related brain injury at the time of his 1994 arrest?
A former NFL physician who examined him after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman says it's possible.
In an interview with Access Hollywood's Stephanie Bauer airing on Friday, Dr. Robert Huizenga explained why knowledge of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), the degenerative neurological disease found in many retired football players, might have played a role in Simpson's defense had it been available.
"I think it could have been important in the O.J. Simpson case and may have been part of the reason he was in a mindset to do things that doesn't really make sense, that someone else might not have done," he said.
Huizenga told Access that while Simpson did not experience an excessive amount of head injuries during his days on the field, his actions could be similar to those observed among CTE sufferers.
"He didn't have the classic head hits, but he did get multiple sub-concussive head hits and clearly he showed a number of ways -- lack of judgment and some other subtle signs -- that could have been consistent [with CTE]," he told Access. "Not to mention other acts that may have been signs of incredibly erratic behavior and signs of aggression."
The former NFL doctor and author of the book "You're Okay, It's Only a Bruise" testified in the 1995 criminal trial which found Simpson not guilty, and said he was tasked with assessing Simpson's physical and mental state.
"Aggressive behavior is one of the earlier symptoms [of CTE], sometimes before outright dementia. … It was up to me to try to figure out what [Simpson's] medical health was and [if] were there any extenuating circumstances that might account for someone for being overly aggressive," he said.
When asked about a recent "Good Morning America" segment in which Simpson's former manager Norman Pardo said he "doesn't understand a lot of things" and is "like a child," Huizenga said that points to signs of Simpson's declining acuity.
"I think if that, in fact, is true then that would be further evidence of CTE, a progressive neurologic damage of his brain going basically to the third and fourth stage of dementia," Huizenga told Access.

What's in a name? A whole lot. Did you ever consider why French fries, French vanilla, or French toast are called "French" in America, but go by completely different names in France itself? French toast, for example, is known as "pain perdu," or lost bread, because it is recycled day-old bread rejuvenated with the help of a custard and some pert flavors. It is also served as dessert–not for breakfast. This savory version pairs rosemary-roasted asparagus and parmesan with hearty country bread. Top with a savory-sweet homemade tomato jam for a spike of color and flavor.
As always, my French in a Flash series for Serious Eats contains the full text and recipe for this post. Here is this week's Asparagus Parmesan Pain Perdu with Homemade Tomato Jam–easy, quick, unusual, unorthodox, and really, really good.
- 16 asparagus tips
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
- 4 1 to 1 ½ inch slices of dense white peasant bread
- 4 teaspoons unsalted butter
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Toss the asparagus tips with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, the rosemary, and salt and pepper. Scatter on a baking sheet, and roast for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the half and half, eggs, and Parmesan together in a pie plate, and season with mixture with salt and pepper.
- Take 4 cooked asparagus tips, and line them up, facing in alternating directions, on one piece of bread. Dip the bread in the egg mixture, and, holding the asparagus flat to one side of the bread, flip it over so the asparagus side is also coated. Press the asparagus into the soggy bread.
- Heat a sauté pan over medium-low heat, and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Melt 2 teaspoons of butter in the pan, and place 2 pieces of bread, asparagus side down, into the pan. Sauté low and slow, about 4 minutes per side, pressing down so the bread browns evenly. Flip when golden, and brown another 4 minutes on the other side. While it's cooking on the second side, sprinkle the asparagus side with about a teaspoon or so of Parmesan. Keep warm in a 200°F oven. Repeat for the next two slices. Serve with tomato jam.
Tomato Jam Ingredients
- 1 pint halved grape tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
Tomato Jam Procedure
- Place all the ingredients in a sauce pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Advocacy at YWCA O'ahu
Advocating to Empower Women and Girls in Hawai'i
YWCA O'ahu has been at the forefront of women's empowerment and racial justice for more than 116 years. With our various programs located islandwide, we work in local communities every day and shape policies that affect those we serve. In partnership with clients, members, community organizations, and public agencies, we collectively promote our mission through programmatic activities, educational campaigns and events, and legislative advocacy. Our advocacy priorities address the three broad areas in which we offer programs: racial justice and civil rights, women's economic empowerment, and women's health and safety. For more information on our legislative priories for the year, please click here.
Racial Justice & Civil Rights, WOMEN'S ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT and WOMEN'S HEALTH & SAFETY
We seek to increase the equal protections and equal opportunities of people of color. We work to increase economic opportunities for women and girls of color, recognizing the importance of addressing the race and gender inequities that exist for this historically and contemporarily marginalized community. We strive to improve the often disproportionately negative health and safety outcomes for women and girls of color by making sure they have access to high-quality health and safety resources and support systems.
Snapshot of The Status of Women in Hawai'i
The Status of Women in Hawai'i received an overall grade of C+. Hawaii's best grade is in the area of Reproductive Rights and Health and Wellness! Hawaii is ranked 50th for % of women registered to vote, and 49th for % of women who voted. See how we rank in other areas here.
Campaigns & Events
Women's Legislature Caucus Breakfast
YWCA O'ahu coordinates the annual Hawai'i Women's Legislative Caucus Breakfast, featuring women legislators of the Hawai'i State Legislature. The Caucus, consisting of members from both the state Senate and House, present a joint package of priorities for the Legislative Session.
The Legislative Breakfast is co-sponsored by the Hawai'i Women's Legislative Caucus, Organization of Women Leaders, Patsy T. Mink Center for Business and Leadership, Hawai'i State Commission on the Status of Women and supported by St. Andrew's Priory School.
For over 20 years, YWCA has hosted an annual Week Without Violence campaign. During the month of October, YWCA local affiliates across the nation mobilize people in their local communities to take action against all forms of violence. Through leading dialogues on violence to workshops, public awareness events, and community service opportunities, Week Without Violence places the pervasive and intersectional nature of violence and its impact on the communities we serve at the forefront of the conversation.
Stand Against Racism is a signature campaign of YWCA USA to build community among those who work for racial justice and to raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and structural racism in our communities. This campaign is one part of our larger national strategy to fulfill our mission of eliminating racism.

I would like to address Lancaster County Council members: How do you expect people to pay more property taxes and road fees when they can't afford to feed themselves. Steve Willis, if you don't lose your county administrator job when Lancaster County goes broke, are you going to pay the extra $5 road fee for everyone?
Why doesn't council work as hard to bring jobs to Lancaster as it does trying to squeeze everyone for more money?
Jean Melton
I read about proposed tax increases and it appears that again government thinks that the Obama propaganda about the recesssion being over is true.
Foreclosures continue, sales lag, home values continue to drop, unemployment remains very high as do oil prices and the federal debt ceiling has been hit.
I personally think homeowners pay enough taxes on their property. Lancaster County Council should look for ways elsewhere for the extra money they feel like they need.
The federal government feels that the cost of living hasn't increased therefore senior citizens who depend mostly on Social Security for their income haven't received a raise in more than two years and I understand that we won't get one this year either.
I would like to address an issue with Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile. I think it is pretty bad when you will no longer provide an officer escort for a funeral.
It is bad enough when people don't respect a funeral line to stop when they meet one. But to not have an officer at intersections and stoplights has just about hit the bottom of the bucket.
Not everyone can afford to hire an officer to guide traffic for them.
Pete Melton
I attended Andrew Jackson High School graduation on May 27. That was the most well-carried out graduation I have ever attended.
I commend Principal Mary Barry, the faculty and students for their roles. The AJ graduation was done with respect to the principal, faculty, students and the guests who attended the event. Thank you, Andrew Jackson High School.

Long explains Amazon vote
Last week's Amazon decision was the single most difficult vote I have taken as a legislator. In the end, putting people to work and food on their table is an immediate need and requires immediate attention. However, it does not fix the longer, real job creation act of tax reform.
Amazon means jobs
Statism will not work anywhere, now or ever
Everywhere one looks, statism is an abject failure. Look and compare Venezuela with Chile, Cuba with Colombia, North Korea to South Korea. Just look at the United Kingdom in 1950 and compare it to itself in 1990.
The union riots in Europe were not to embrace socialism, but to find someone somewhere to somehow pay for their unsupportable benefits. They believe that the "someone" is probably on some hedonistic island somewhere with a vault of cash to pay for it all.
In order to save on costs, students should be given an option to take courses online through the state's online Provost Academy. Some underprivileged students and those with disciplinary issues may benefit from enrolling in the state's online program of study.

1. Today I want to share with you all a pair of boots that I love, love so much. I've seen these on two other women, and they look so beautiful on them. They're called the Rhumba, and are made by Aquatalia, a brand for boots that I absolutely adore. I bought my first pair in 2009 and have loved them ever since. They are the most comfortable, beautiful and water resistant boot brand I have ever found.
The sad thing for me? These boots for some reason just don't fit my particular legs right…they sag a lot at the ankle too much. So disappointing for me as I've seen this boot look great on so many others. I usually don't recommend items on this site that haven't worked out for myself…but I still think that these boots are worth a try for most. Gorgeous, not too long of a shaft, and so comfortable. Even Kate Middleton likes them, come on!
2. Were any of you in the Greek system (fraternities/sororities) in college? I never joined one, and enough time has passed in my sad old life that the whole system is a distant memory for me. So I found this NY Times article very interesting – the cost of joining the Greek system (sororities in particular), in college. Continue Reading

The City of Vancouver has a dynamic, highly diversified urban economy that is thriving as a result of its global brand, its leading global clusters in the high tech and creative sector, and its role as a global gateway to the Asia Pacific. Visitors from around the world and residents of the metro region come to the city regularly to enjoy our cultural amenities and our unique destinations such as Stanley Park, the VanDusen Gardens, Vancouver Art Gallery, our beaches, and walk our Seawall. Adding to that, each day thousands people travel into our City from surrounding municipalities, such as Richmond, Burnaby and Surrey, to work and take advantage of our great public facilities.
Over the last 50 years, the City has responded to increased urbanization and population growth by building important and much valued public amenities across our 23 distinct neighbourhoods – these include community centres, libraries, parks, recreation facilities, civic theatres, social housing and childcare. At the same time the city has invested regularly in maintaining our public works – water, sewer, streets and solid waste infrastructure.
Key points
• Since 2009, this Council has reduced borrowing by $191M.
• Our overall financial position (our consolidated position) is a $6.13 B surplus as seen on pg.4 of City of Vancouver 2013 financial statements. $180M better than 2012.
• Our capital assets (parks, community/cultural and public safety facilities and all our public works such as roads, bridges and water and sewer infrastructure) have grown significantly over the last ten years.
• We pay off our debt within 10yrs, much quicker than most mortgages. Our capital assets last between 10 -100 years.
• In 2009, the City, with permission from the Province of BC, had to borrow $630M to finance the Olympic Village project in Southeast False Creek; in 2011 our net debt peaked at $419M related to the Olympic Village. This year the City of Vancouver paid off the whole Olympic Village debt, and our net debt position is now lower than 2002.
• In 2011, PwC provided us with advice on debt monitoring metrics and since then the City uses best practice benchmarks in the management of debt.
• We are confident in our ability to manage our debt, we have very favorable borrowing rates, strong credit ratings and we are building a bigger, better Vancouver for our citizens in a responsible way.
Budget and Borrowing
The City's operating budget is balanced with operating revenues at just over $1B per year. About 2.7% of the revenue goes to paying interest on debt. Rating agencies consider interest payments at <5% of operating revenue as an indicator for a high credit rating.
Credit ratings
The City's balanced approach to debt management is reflected in the City's high credit ratings (Aaa/AA) from Moody's and Standard and Poor, which is as good or better than most other major cities in Canada.
Credit ratings are independent assessments of the City's ability to repay its debts and the City meets with ratings agencies annually.
Credit rating agencies also look at the level of total borrowing as a percentage of operating revenues. At 61%, the City of Vancouver is well placed among other major cities across Canada:
Winnipeg –60%
Ottawa 70%
Edmonton –95%
Toronto 35%
Montreal –127%
Draft Capital Plan 2015-2018
As the city continues to experience growth, we have to continue to renew and upgrade our existing infrastructure, amenities and facilities to support our residents and businesses. Thus the 2015-2018 draft Capital Plan focuses 2/3 of the budget on maintenance and renewal, while 1/3 is on new investments.
Like most major cities, in the City of Vancouver, infrastructure is only partly funded through debt. Only 37% of the Vancouver's draft Capital Plan for 2015-2018 is proposed to be funded by debt.

Now enter your shipping address (if you have just created your account) and pay for the amount due. In order to pursue a certificate as a pharmacy technician and pass your exams you may address your inquiry to the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) along with the Institute of Certification of Pharmacy Technicians (ICPT). There are a few websites that supply toll free number by which you can contact in case of any query or further verification.
Certification is reasonably easy theoretically, because you really only have to pass a PTCB pharmacy technician certification exam to acquire certified. Leading pharmacies are licensed and certified and you also get affordable prices, privacy, medical information and convenience whenever you shop. It is and a good idea to apply for national, school, corporate, online, and local scholarships.
while using complex equations used, it became faster to get results, thus leading. Let me start off by proclaiming that regardless of what area you pursue (institutional or retail) for your most part, you will probably be involved in a fast paced environment. Nonetheless, this is a cheaper option than a number of other online pharmacy technician schools and may be suitable for those on a tight budget.
By giving your pharmacy the complete name of one's medication you'll be able to better safe guard your health. Before taking any exams necessary for their state, they should pass the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency examination (FPGEE), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Test of Spoken English (TSE) exams. This is really a common occurrence as January 1 kicks off a new year of pharmacy benefits and beneficiaries are kept in (with minor exceptions needless to say called qualifying life events or QLEs) prior to the next open enrollment season in November.
I come with an even deeper reply to this newest pharmacy tragedy. Don't hesitate to switch to compact florescent light bulbs; the soft light and silence of modern CFLs are indistinguishable from standard incandescent light bulbs. Their recommendations about medicines and dosages needs to become adopted on, that they can need to become acquainted with medicines and that is certainly consequences.

Pre-Calibration: The Gamma Conflict
Note the Gamma information window which pops up during your initial installation of Spyder2PRO software. This window pops up because you have an Adobe Service running, called Adobe Gamma.
If you're going to purchase a calibration system, there's no need to have Adobe Gamma load up when Windows starts. Below is a screenshot of where Adobe Gamma is located. Now, you can delete the files altogether, or, what I suggest, is typing msconfig (which allows you to uncheck particular programs which run in the background and don't necessarily show up in your Task Manager) in your Windows Menu (START --> RUN).
Now that we've taken Adobe Gamma out of the picture, it's time to calibrate. The following screen informs you of what is about to occur, which is, the adjustment of your gamma, color temperature, and luminance.
Now it's time to select your type of display.
Now it's time to select your target values. The most common and standard, is choosing a gamma of 2.2, and a color temperature of 6500K.

New details about the Porsche Panamera have emerged, including the estimate price.
The 2010 Porsche Panamera will be offered with a choice of three engines and will be priced from about $127,000 for the base V6 model to $198,000 for the full-house turbo V8 all-wheel-drive edition.
The latest details on the four-door Porsche, as outlined in the German magazine Autobild, include the news that a new full-hybrid option for the Panamera will mate a 300-horsepower V6 gasoline engine with a 100-hp electric motor, enabling the driver to select from any combination of the two propulsion sources.

"The Greenwich Village Epic," aka "Way Down South in Greenwich Village," or "Down in Dear Old Greenwich Village" is often quoted in books on the Village. It's usually credited to a famous Village character of the '20s, Bobby Edwards, "the Troubadour of Greenwich Village." (I've been assembling material on him, by the way; I hope to post it here […]

Our final fish game is "Go Fish," published in 1951 by Ed-U-Cards. The fronts are simple fields of color, the backs show this cheerful specimen. In later editions, this has been adapted into a flipbook; if you arrange the cards in the proper order, the fish blows bubbles. As a lagniappe, I'll add this interesting miniature […]

Come, let us sit upon the fence; It saves us trouble and expense. Yes, that's my turd in the punchbowl; you can keep it, if you like. You can't prove that no two snowflakes are alike; but you can make a good case for no one snowflake being alike. Skinner's First Law of Economics: Work […]

Ancient coral or ancient ladies' swimming cap? On the first day of spring, which in New York City was particularly welcome and unseasonably warm, I took a long walk on the sands of Dead Horse Bay, a quiet inlet tucked away not far from Floyd Bennett Field (the City's very first airport), now abandoned to […]

When an irresistible force meets an immovable object, let someone else deal with it. Well, of course it burst: it was a bubble. Guy Debord noted that Surrealist techniques had been co-opted by the advertising business: automatic writing became unedited "brainstorming." Similarly, early experiments in computer-generated poetry led to the composition of spam. Hey, look […]

The art of book illustration seems to have evaporated up into the ullage. It lives on, of course, in the lively fields of children's books and graphic novels. But few novelists nowadays turn over a few pages to an artist to draw pictures of their stories. Which provides an excuse to post here one of […]

Greater longevity has multiplied our problems; fortunately, scientists are working to make life shorter. Do these pints make me look fat? The Mona Lisa isn't smiling; she's smirking.

This is the pattern for the 1950s inspired dress that rma designed for our "Past Perfect" contest. It can be worn with a petticoat or you can just leave it away if you prefer a more floaty look for your skirt.
We made our own embellishment for the top but of course you can use something off-the-shelf as well. Ours is detachable, so we can always decide whether we're in the mood for some extra attention or not! :-)
Please consult our size comparison table, our table of body measurements and the "Patterns" section of our FAQs before you download and print a pattern.
Detailed sewing instructions for this pattern are available here.
