The State Compensation Insurance Fund is terminating one of the three components of its medical system, the "State Fund Preferred Provider Network (PPN) as of April 30, 2006. The State Fund still has agreements with Blue Cross of California and its Medical Provider Network as well as the occupational health services of Kaiser Permanente.
The PPN network began several years ago, as a way for State Fund to negotiate lower medical fees for workers compensation services. Prior to the 2004 workers compensation reforms, employers who agreed to use the PPN or Kaiser programs for referrals and an active "return to work program, could obtain a 10 percent reduction in their workers compensation premiums.
With the advent of Medical Provider Networks in the 2004 reforms, and "life of claim" medical control if the procedures are correctly followed, State Fund added the Blue Cross Medical Provider Network, and revised its rating to eliminate the credit for use of the medical program.
It is important for employers to act now!
Make sure you refer your injured workers to a physician in the Blue Cross or Kaiser Permanente program now. Do not wait until April 30, 2006, since you do not want to get caught up in a problem of shifting care from one physician to another.
Get new MPN notices from State Fund, since the old notices refer to PPN, and will need to be replaced. These notices need to be given to every newly hired employee and to every employee at time of injury. Best practice is to attach a copy of the MPN notice to the DWC 1 claim form.
Make sure that you have posted the required Workers Compensation posters and give new employees the required pamphlets. A recent WCAB ruling allowed an injured worker to seek any doctor he wanted, ignoring employer medical control, because the employer could not prove he had posted the required notices.
Regulations regarding workers compensation change constantly. Staying on top of the situation will help keep business expenses to a minimum while ensuring your employees receive proper medical care.

McChrystal and guns
Yup, if you say things like assault weapons (whatever those are today) shouldn't be in schools, I'll agree with you every time. That's why none of the guns I own have ever been in a school – because the law tells me that I can't take guns (of any type) into schools. But, then, I'm a law abiding citizen.
This load from McChrystal is exactly that…a load. I've stayed quiet since the discussion about his book began, because I really did respect the job he did in the Middle East, but honestly, I think he's a tool. Obviously, he didn't like the job that the Obama Administration was doing in Afghanistan, but he kept his mouth shut after he was effectively fired for what others told a reporter. Soldiers in Afghanistan died while he kept his mouth shut. McCrystal had the horsepower and the capital to spend while soldiers were being shot while the administration disarmed in the face of the enemy.
And now, he wants to jump in behind the Obama Administration on gun control? Seriously? He let the Obama Administration disarm our troops on the battlefield, and now he wants to disarm the folks at home?
In this link, sent to us by FrostyCWO, McChrystal says;
"I spent a career carrying typically either an M16 or an M4 Carbine. An M4 Carbine fires a .223 caliber round which is 5.56 mm at about 3000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It's designed for that," McChrystal explained. "That's what our soldiers ought to carry. I personally don't think there's any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets and particularly around the schools in America."
Yeah, I spent a career carrying an M16, too. I like the feeling of it, it feels comfortable. Like I said, I don't take mine around schools – I take it to the range, like I did during my career. While I agree that there's no need, per se, there's also no need for a Porsche or a Ferrari on the street. But there they are.
Yeah, this is more of McChrystal's blind obedience to Obama, regardless of the consequences.

Not so long ago, Simon Cowell was probably the most powerful man on American TV.
His cranky, caustic judging had helped make "American Idol" an invincible No. 1 hit. As a producer, he makes "America's Got Talent" and similar shows that have long been top sellers around the world. He ranked No. 17 on Forbes' 2013 Celebrity 100 list, with estimated annual pay of $95 million, and famously predicted that his own "The X Factor" on Fox would hammer "Idol," the singing contest he left in a storm of publicity in 2010.
And now? The hanging judge has fled the stage like a bad...

Think about it: if you pay 1/3 the cost of a new node per year in rent and utilities, and nodes get twice as fast for the same cost every 18 months. Let's say that means each year performance increases by 60% (close enough for our purposes.) Year 1: I pay 1.33$ for 1 unit of performance Year 2: I pay 0.33$ for 1 unit of performance -- or 1.33$ for 1.6 units of performance Year 3: I pay 0.33$ for 1 unit of performance -- or 1.33$ for 2.56 units of performance Year 4: I pay 0.33$ for 1 unit of performance -- or 1.33$ for 4.1 units of performance Hey! In year 4 it's about the same to keep the old cluster, or throw it out and buy a new one. (If I want to spend the same $$, I can buy a cluster 1/4 the size, but same performance, as the original one.) And in year 5, it's a big win to buy the new stuff. If you don't pay rent and utilities, then sure, you'll probably keep as much junk as will fit in whatever space you have. Maybe the cluster I put together in 1998 at UVa is still running... -- greg

bryanpwalsh necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 13 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
I am writing a series of books and digital video instructional materials surrounding the theme of Fat is Not Your Fault. Each book/DVD will have it's own webpage and header.
I am a Naturopathic Physician writing a series of "chapters" for a series called Fat Is Not Your Fault. It is based on the premise that, though diet and exercise are necessary for fat loss, there are underlying physiological factors that sabotage our body's ability to lose weight. It is geared towards the general public and will teach people how to test and interpret certain systems in their body that might be holding them back (i.e. thyroid) and will offer solutions based on their results.
This particular project will be called: "Fat Is Not Your Fault: Guide to Hypothyroidism" and will be hosted on http://www.yourguidetohypothyroidism.com
It will teach people about the thyroid gland, where to go online to get their own blood work, how to interpret their blood work (online video - hence the DVD cover) and then options they have based on the outcome of their blood work. It is designed to help people who aren't being helped by their doctor.
Additional books/DVD covers will be needed for adrenal health, gastrointestinal health, neurotransmitter balance, toxicity, etc. These will be the future projects of the winner.
- Something fresh, clean and simple. Not too cluttered.
- Not just a cover, but a 3D cover of sorts. I want this to look good and very appealing to people.
- It won't be as long as most eBooks so perhaps it could have a a spiral bound appearance
- Something that appeals mostly to women ages 25-65
- The title "Fat Is Not Your Fault: Guide to Hypothyroidism"
- Something professional, warm and REAL. Something unique, but not obscenely so.
- A lot of clutter. For example, the book at http://www.themagichundred.com/ really caught my eye because of the uniqueness, simplicity and professionalism.

Pac-12 Weekly Five: 04.27.12 EditionPosted by AMurawa on April 27th, 2012
- For the second straight week, the lead story in our Weekly Five is a UCLA recruiting coup, as the Bruins added to their already impressive class by signing 6'9" center Tony Parker – the #20–ranked recruit in the 2012 class – beating out schools like Ohio State, Duke and Parker's home-state Georgia for his services. After the bizarre 45-minute press conference to announce his choice, ESPNU bumped UCLA's class up to the top-ranked class in the nation (at least for now, pending other decisions — such as the #7 recruit, Anthony Bennett, possibly choosing Kentucky). One of the controversial parts of Parker's commitment to the Bruins was his ties to assistant coach Korey McCray, who was hired by head coach Ben Howland last year. That move wound up paying off, as both Parker and former teammate on the Atlanta Celtics, Jordan Adams, wound up committing to UCLA to rejoin McCray. Regardless, the Bruins now feature a deep and talented squad that will not only be on the short list of favorites in the Pac-12, but should be a Top 10 team nationally and a legitimate threat to advance to Howland's fourth Final Four in his tenure. There are a handful of storm clouds on the horizon though, as Shabazz Muhammad's eligibility still needs to be sorted out and Kyle Anderson may be on the verge of thumb surgery, a procedure which could keep the point forward sidelined for much of the summer before his freshman season. Elsewhere on the Bruin front, the school announced an agreement for a home-and-home series with Missouri beginning next season at Pauley Pavilion, renewing a matchup that was made famous by an NCAA Tournament classic.
- Washington also just announced a new series with an inter-regional rival with whom they've had a couple of Tournament classics, agreeing to begin a two-game series with Connecticut next year (starting the series at either Gampel Pavilion or the XL Center). The Huskies of the Big East will repay the favor to the Huskies of the Pac-12, visiting Seattle in 2013-14. Normally, this would seem to be a game to wait for, but given UConn's ineligibility for next year's NCAA Tournament and the mass defections that have come along with that, UW could in good position to score an early road win next season.
- From the northernmost end of the conference to the southernmost, Arizona had some good news pop up on their radar in their search for a stopgap solution at the point guard position, when it was announced this week that Xavier combo guard Mark Lyons would be transferring out of the program and, provided he completes his coursework in time to graduate this summer, could be eligible to play next season. Given Lyons' ties to current Arizona head coach and former Xavier head man Sean Miller, Tucson is the early favorite to earn his services although his plans are still up in the air. While Lyons is definitely not a true point guard, he is a capable ballhandler that would give the 'Cats plenty of scoring punch in the backcourt. There was some uglier news out of the Zona program last weekend when outgoing senior Jesse Perry was arrested and charged with felony domestic violence last weekend. Perry maintains his innocence, but this type of story is never welcome news.
- A couple Pac-12 schools landed some other transfers this week, as Arizona State inked Valparaiso forward Richie Edwards and Oregon got a commitment from junior college transfer Coleton Baker. Edwards will have one remaining season of eligibility with the Sun Devils beginning in 2013-14, while Baker will give the Ducks a scoring threat at guard to help replace Devoe Joseph. Meanwhile, we learned the landing spot of outgoing USC transfer Alexis Moore this week, as he announced that he would be heading east to play for Penn, with eligibility starting in 2013-14.
- Lastly, in Boulder at the start of the week, Colorado head coach Tad Boyle and athletic director Mike Bohn showed up at a local watering hole to mingle with and congratulate the "OG 50," a group of 50 students who started a renaissance of the C-Unit – the CU student section – that supported the Buffs from their opening exhibition game against Fort Lewis all the way to their eventual exit against Baylor in Albuquerque in the NCAA round of 32. Bohn promised the group a seat at any Buffaloes home game in the future after the group helped the team outperform expectations all season long, including running through four games in four days in Los Angeles at the Pac-12 Tournament to capture the conference's automatic bid.

Barcelona's talisman may have won pretty much all there is to win at club level but Argentina's loss to Chile on penalties means the Ballon d'Or holder has now lost four consecutive international finals.
Argentina's Messi was asked by his Prime Minister and many other fans to re consider his retirement from Internation Football too. Meanwhile Internet world took this event by spreading messi memes and football memes across the socialmedia without any delay. Here we bought you some of the Messi Retirement Memes and Trolls

Halloween Costumes to Avoid at the Hospital
Eve Tahmincioglu | CareerDiva
October 21, 2010
Dressing like a terrorist this Halloween season is probably not going to get you a promotion.
In fact, costumes that are in poor taste might even get you in career hot water if you wear one to an office party or Halloween bash where you might see some of your not-so-close coworkers or managers. And your actions could even get others in trouble.
In 2008, a manager at the Massachusetts transit authority was fired because he didn't reprimand an employee who came to work with a noose around his neck as part of a Halloween costume. The outfit, supervisors contended, "could be perceived as racially insensitive."
Shanti Atkins, president and CEO of ELT, an ethics and workplace compliance training firm, has seen some major Halloween costume faux pas in her work and she's here to warn everyone that costumes you think are funny, sexy, or scary could come back to haunt you, literally.
"There are different levels of conservatism in every workplace," she explained, when it comes to how far you can push the envelope. But in most offices and factories you don't want to wear a costume that offends a certain ethic group or goes crazy on the sex-pot-o-meter.
It potentially can create a hostile work environment and even lead to lawsuits, she added, and no employer wants that.
In one case, Atkins worked with a company where a female manager filed sexual harassment charges against a male manager. In the midst of the investigation into the allegations, the complaining manager wore a over-the-top sexy cocktail waitress costume to an office Halloween parade and the male manager complained to his superiors that her choice of outfit proved her claims were BS.
"That was a sticky situation because her wearing that was not an invitation for harassment but it created a ripped effect," she said. "They basically had to make it clear to him that the two things were separate, but they also talked to the woman, telling her that 'it was not appropriate for you to show up at work dressed like this.'"
Figuring out what's appropriate or not is the challenge. Atkins actually scoured the costume offerings out there this year and provided me with a list of what she deemed to be the most inappropriate workplace Halloween costumes of the season:

A Muslim man was stabbed as he opened the door to a Queens mosque for morning prayers yesterday in what cops are investigating as a possible hate crime.
"I looked behind me and he was there,'' the victim, Ahmad Bashir, told The Post.
"He bit my nose. He was saying, 'I kill the Muslims! I'm going to kill you!' I was telling him, 'I'm the wrong guy. He hit me one, two, thgree, four, five times. He hit my head. He stabbed me in my back. He hit me in the face.''
Bashir said he'd been stabbed "10 or 12 times'' in the attack on Kissena Boulevard in Flushing. He was released after treatment at Queens General Hospital.
Cops described the attacker as a Hispanic man in his 40s. Police sketches show the man in a hat and glasses.

I have already tried that. I called every funeral home in Lancaster County, SC. None of these funeral homes have any record in their archives of a Will Witherspoon. I even went to the church where he is buried. I was told by the deacons that they did not keep any records before 1950. I am at a brick Wall.

You talk about your doers. You talk about alternatives to the lifestyles so many people — men and women — can't (or won't) break out of. You talk about accomplishing something good for yourself that requires a sense of dedication and determination that'll leave you with a no-nonsense feeling of pride (whether or not you can still stand up when it's over is another matter!) that makes your whole body glow. You're talking marathon — the Avon International Women's Championship Marathon.
(Maybe you've never run at all, never had a desire to. If that's the case, read these Successful Jogging Tips. It might just change your mind and — at the very least — get you into attempting the basics. And someday — maybe upon maybe — the mystique of the marathon will sneak up on you!)
The women in these photographs aren't superwomen. They aren't laboratory-raised physiological phenomena. They're people, individuals who've found a fitness addiction they want to maintain. And, in just about every case, they started as joggers, as women who weren't able to run a mile, much less pace themselves over a hilly, demanding 26-mile road course in 75 to 80 degree heat in the company of the world's very best female runners.
That is exactly what these 225 women were doing in Atlanta at the Avon International Women's Championship Marathon, their equivalent of an Olympic marathon. In fact, this is the closest that the females of our species have ever come to such an Olympic race. You see, women aren't allowed to run a marathon in the Olympics. They aren't allowed, in fact, to run any Olympic distance over 1,500 meters.
Why not? Well, that is often the case, for no reason. Essentially, bureaucrats, and an incredible series of restrictions based on the archaic opinions of the gray flannel, sit on the International Olympic Committee, whose dignified but out-of-touch-with-reality membership has already denied women's participation in long-distance running events at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, and, unless something is done, the 1984 Games could easily fall prey to the same tunnel-visioned myopia.
A Brief History of Women and Running: The Crash of '67
Such "females aren't physiologically capable, etc." attitudes kept women entirely out of long-distance runs until 1967, the year when an assertive young lady, Kathrine Switzer, crashed the prestigious Boston Marathon. (Ms. Switzer jumped onto the course unofficially since she couldn't run officially and — believe it or not — one of the race officials actually attempted to wrestle this "presumptuous female" from the race! He didn't succeed, though, and she kept on going and finished.)
Finally, in 1972 — five years after Ms. Switzer had proved that "mere females" could go the distance — Boston officially admitted women to open participation in their 26-miler. (Also, by then, several women had actually run faster times than those of some of the 1968 and 1972 male Olympic marathon competitors!) Other race officials have not been so progressive. Right now, for instance — in 1978, 11 years after Kathrine Switzer blew 'em away at Boston — women have still not been permitted by the "auspicious" Olympic governing bodies to run in an internationally recognized and sanctioned marathon!
As a result of this flurry of official inactivity, Dr. Ernst van Aaken (renowned West German trainer of distance runners) organized and financed the first ever international marathon competition for women only in 1974 in Waldniel, Germany. Dr. van Aaken paid for the event by using the insurance money he received a year or so earlier in a settlement from an automobile accident. (While on his regular evening run one night, Dr. van Aaken was struck by a car. He lost both legs as a result.)
After the successful women-only Waldniel Marathon, the International Olympic Committee and the International Amateur Athletic Federation were once again petitioned to hold an Olympic level event of this nature and they — in their typically Neanderthal fashion — again refused.
Just as predictably, Ernst van Aaken responded by hosting a second ladies-only marathon — this time in 1976 — in Waldniel. Once again the women performed flawlessly in a quality race.
That really got the ball rolling and Dr. van Aaken — plus Atlantan Gayle Barron, Kathrine Switzer, Olympic competitor Jeff Galloway, and the combined energy of the Atlanta running community — was soon planning a women's marathon for the United States. The project's momentum was soon given an added and most important boost when the Avon company offered to sponsor the race (it always takes money, folks). Thus, the Avon Women's Marathon was conceived and nurtured.
The Avon International Race
The field for the March 19 Atlanta run was, without a doubt, unprecedented in women's athletics. The 225 participants ranged in age from 14 to 52 and represented every level of marathoning experience — lots to none! What they all had in common, though, was confidence — in themselves and their ability to perform individually and collectively — and enthusiasm. Their strength showed.
The heat (75 degrees at the start, 80 degrees later) and the hills took their toll. But two hours, 46 minutes, and 16 seconds after the gun went off, Martha Cooksey charged across the finish line. The 23-year-old Californian, apparently, had found the 80 degree temperature and low humidity to her liking. (Maybe not liking, but she was used to it!)
In second place, with a time of 2:51:40, was 34-year-old Sarolta Monspart of Budapest, Hungary. Ms. Monspart was the first competitor from an Eastern Bloc country to compete in a women's distance race in the U.S. As the women fight for Olympic recognition and gender equality, performances from international competitors like Sarolta are increasingly important.
Finishing only 13 seconds behind the blond Hungarian was Manuella Angenvoorth, 31, of West Germany. Manuella ran an incredible race especially since, just a few days before, she'd been in the middle of a rough German winter.
Fourth place went to Cindy Dalrymple of Honolulu, who is — like all these women — quite a story. Cindy was a world-class track and field competitor in the early 1960s, but wanted to run the non-existent (for women) distance events. So she gave it all up, went back to school, got married, had two children, and then — in 1973 — plunged into running long-distance races. Now, at 36, she's once again world-ranked!
Gayle Barron, the local favorite, had put so much effort into the actual organization of the run that it was surprising she could even walk the 26-mile distance. Still, she finished a very respectable fifth.
Where Do We Go From Here?
As Kathrine Switzer sums it up: "Everybody teases me about being frenetic and aggressive and pushy and demanding . . . and I am. I'm impatient. Sometimes it's not good enough to just 'do your own thing.' You've gotta hit 'em hard."
As of 2012, there are five long-distance running events in the Olympics, available to both men and women competitors. Those events are the 800-meter run, 1,500-meter run, 5,000-meter run, 10,000-meter run, and the marathon.

A comment on TAR Family: I noticed on another thread that someone mentioned actually having a clue envelope from the final leg. This would be a dead giveaway that this was a decoy, I think, because decoy teams our season were told to drop the false clues they'd been given so they would end up on the internet. Meredith and Gretchen's detour took them to the famous Book Depository in Texas where no one seemed to care about what they were doing. When they intentionally dropped a clue envelope once, someone ran up and told Gretchen, "You dropped this!!!" and gave it back. I'm just saying, if it looks like too obvious, it probably is.
DrEmphyRegistered UserPosts: 199(8/16/05 5:37 pm)Reply Re: Real finish line or decoy??-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, sorry to report, none of those teams are the one I saw. I know what i saw and I have the video...it just wasnt any of those teams...I took the pictures to the Falls today to see if anyone recognized any of the teams, and I have had such terrible results that I need to go back again. The race was here, but as I was warned the day I went back - it might have been a decoy at Terrapin Point.The actual race WAS here though. You will see, my team spoilers are bunk now though, I guess, because none of those teams I saw...they are all WAYYY too good looking.
Puddin: :<(To quote from your post of yesterday:"CBS today announced the identities of the 10 families set to compete in THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION. For the first time ever, the Emmy Award-winning reality adventure series will feature teams of four instead of two, comprised of family members. The 10 teams of families will compete against one another in a race around the world for a $1 million prize.and...."THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION features 10 teams -- each comprised of four family members -- on a trek around the world for approximately 30 days."and...30,000 miles would take you around the world at least once at the equator (twice at the Artic Circle) And this is an awful lot of miles to run up just by travelling from the East Coast to the West Coast and back (About 7,000 miles; oh well make that 10,000 if they go South and North also) We have had suposedly sightings in Beliz and Panama. Still that would not account for a total of 30,000 miles. So were they able to sneak away and actually travel around the world more or less on a straight line from Panama to Europe to Asia and back to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and then on to Toronto and Montreal???"
:<( Gman ..I havent had time to put the spoilers together , if you want a go at it please do so if not I'll have to make sometime, the BB6 updates is killing me .Time to swipe stuff from the other board again {l{ . ( thanks to greenraven@sucks )Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Just returned from my cousin's wedding in New Orleans and in speaking with my other cousin at the family brunch, our conversation turned to TAR. She asked if I was still a fan, and informed me that one of the bridesmaids' boss (she works at The Ritz Carlton in N.O., as does he) had just gotten back recently with his family from filming the new TAR: Family Edition. The bridesmaid didn't have any other info outside of that/her boss didn't tell her much more, but look for a southern New Orleans family in the next race. Just a heads-up.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------They followed this post with one allegedly from the said N.O. hotel guy Racer posting on some board called Datalounge and added the board isn't the most reliable:Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'm Going to Be on The Amazing Race with my family in September. We just got back (that's no spoiler, because even teams eliminated early go into sequester/decoy mode). The season should start in September. I'm the hotel manager from New Orleans. Can't really say much more, except I had some slight disappointment in the fact that this race took place mainly in North America. But that's understandable because some teams had children as young as 7 with them.Well, hope you guys watch!!!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to CBS the only family from New Orleans is the Schroeder Family. And he is identified as an architect not a hotel manager. So who is this guy claiming that he is a Hotel Manager (Ritz Carlton) not an architect. Is someone just posting to get his own kicks from Route 66? So claiming that the race took place "mainly in North America" still leaves some overseas travelling - Belize, Panama, and Canada are all still in North America as is the USofA, of course. Until more is proven rialable I would not take anything from this source as gospel

I have been puffing and puffing on my pipe and the "arouand the world" quote that keeps coming up has me thinking. Also the grand total of only 30,000 miles also has me puzzled. But as Sherlock said to the good doctor: Its elementary. So here is the pipe dreams to beat all pipe dreams (and , Puddin, please don't ask what I have been smoking in my pipe)This is my wildest guess of where TAR8 goes:Leg One. New York to Washington, DC 205 miles Washington DC to Charleston, SC 447 miles Charleston,SC to Huntsville, AL 404 milesLeg Two Huntsville, AL to Taladega, AL 95 miles Taladega, AL to Beliz City, Beliz 1109 milesLeg Three Beliz City to Panama City, Panama 827 milesLeg Four Panama City to Wellington, NZ 7447 milesLeg Five Wellington,NZ to Sydney, AUS 1384 milesLeg Six Sydney, AUS to Manila, PI 3898 milesLeg Seven Manila, PI to Honolulu, HI 5304 milesLeg Eight Honolulu, HI to San Francisco, CA 2395 milesLeg Nine San Francisco, CA to Jackson, WY 732 milesLeg Ten Jackson, WY to Toronto, Canada 1557 miles (note may be included in Leg nine)Leg Eleven Toronto to Montreal 314 miles Montreal to New York, NY 320 milesThis gives us a total of 26, 438 milesLocations are selected for English speaking ability. English is the primary language in Beliz, Panama and The PhilippinesThere probably is local travel in and around these locations which would account for an additional 3,600 milesIf there are the usual 13 legs, then some locations may include more than one leg.As I said this is a pure pipe dream.
I was on a cruise ship (Monarch of the Seas, RCCL, sailing out of L.A. to Ensenada) on August 5th and Our Man Phil was on board early in the day, apparently filming something on the pool deck. It killed me that I did not have my camera with me - he was all for having his picture taken with people that happened to be up on the deck. It was pretty early in the day and most passengers hadn't even boarded yet, so it was fairly uncrowded. He and the crew disembarked long before the ship departed.Didn't see any TAR-related stuff, so I have no idea what they were filming up there. Promo for something else, mayhaps?
And last night hundreds of invited guests including the Maori Queen Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, New Zealand ambassador to the United States John Wood and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom as well as film personality Rena Owen and The Amazing Race presenter Phil Keoghan, a New Zealander, attended the exhibition's official opening.
And to correct myself, Dad says that production finished about three weeks ago and post production keeps going all the way through 'till about the second to last episode of the current season of TAR. What they do is they start making the first episode during the first couple o' days of filming. The race films over about 30 days and they send the film back to the warehouse in LA where they edit the films and piece together the story lines. So when production finished, the first episode is like.. 90% complete, the second episode is about 70% complete etc. etc.. He says it's an on-going process right through the series. Sometimes they'll make last minute changes on an episode before sending it in etc. Quite a complicated process and me Dad said he's glad he's not part of post-production!

Gulf War SyndromeGulf War Syndrome - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is Gulf War syndrome?
Gulf War syndrome is a widely used term to refer to the unexplained illnesses occurring in veterans of the 1991 Gulf War.
What are the symptoms of Gulf War syndrome?
The following are the most common symptoms of Gulf War syndrome. However, each person experiences symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Musculoskeletal pain
Cognitive problems
Skin rashes
Symptoms of Gulf War syndrome may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis. Symptoms continue to pose a frustrating problem for affected veterans and their physicians. Despite extensive research, the cause of the syndrome remains unexplained.
How many veterans are impacted by the Gulf War syndrome?
According to a report released by the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) in late 2008, about 25 percent to 32 percent of Gulf War veterans suffer from Gulf War syndrome.
What are the possible causes of Gulf War syndrome?
Possible causes include:
Chemical warfare agents, particularly nerve gas, or pyridostigmine bromide, which was given as a preventive measure to soldiers likely to be exposed to chemical warfare agents.
Psychological factors, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Veterans with Gulf War syndrome symptoms have high rates of accompanying psychiatric disorders.
Other chemical agents, such as smoke from oil well fires, pesticides, depleted uranium or exposure to solvents and corrosive liquids used during repair and maintenance.
What is the treatment for Gulf War syndrome?
While there is no specific treatment for Gulf War syndrome, research suggests than an approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy may help patients with nonspecific symptoms syndromes lead more productive lives by actively managing their symptoms.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a two-year, scientifically controlled study to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy for veterans with these symptoms.
Research into Gulf War syndrome, which remains controversial, is taking place in research centers around the country. Please consult your doctor with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this condition.

Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades You Should Know About Today
Our pick of the day's key European equity rating changes and why they're worth watching:
• The European telecommunications sector has been much in focus Wednesday, ahead of the upcoming fourth quarter reporting season. Deutsche Bank downgraded France Telecom and Royal KPN both to sell from hold, and Iliad Group to hold from buy.
The bank expects weaker results or guidance disappointments from these companies, so expects them to underperform peers.
On the flip side, Deutsche Bank upgraded Belgacom to hold from sell, citing a healthy balance sheet with no major refinancing due before 2016.
Credit Suisse has also taken a more positive stance on the Belgian telecoms company, stating that pressure from cable operator Voo is likely to ease off. The Swiss banking giant also downgraded Tele2 to neutral from outperform on slowing momentum in its Russian market and Portugal Telecom to underperform from neutral, reflecting increasing pressure on its fixed line offering.
Finally, UBS downgraded BT Group to neutral from buy, largely on pension deficit concerns and Telefonica to sell from neutral, on concerns over the positioning of its short message services.

text: Hi, I was just wondering if anybody had time to check the 2 patches I posted a couple of weeks ago. Both patches are about DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE 1) Patch number 1 is to fix a bug when shrinking the demux buffer. This bug causes the kernel to crash completely http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024828.html http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024833.html http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024839.html 2) The second patch is about the implementation of the ioctl DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE for the dvr. The ioctl call is currently available but not implemented. Currently the default is 192522 which lasts only about 1 sec when saving the whole TS. http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024829.html http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024834.html http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024840.html Is it possible for the maintainers of the dvb-core (btw, who are they exactly?) to check them? Looking forward to receiving feedbacks. Andrea

A "Dazzling Game"
What if the tables were turned. What if Bella was the one doing the "dazzling"? Just a fun story that popped into my head. Please tell me what you think!!

1. The Dazzled
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1156 Review this Chapter
As I started to wake up, I heard his perfect angel's voice in my ear.
"Good morning, love," he whispered in my ear
I smiled; I loved it when he called me love. As my eyelids fluttered open, I saw his gorgeous face, just inches from mine. His coal black eyes bore into mine, and I was dazzled. I groaned.
"What's wrong?" He asked. There was a smug smile on his face. He knew perfectly well what was wrong. He had me hooked, I couldn't look away.
"You know perfectly well," I told him, not amused.
"I'm sorry," he apologized. "I couldn't resist." He was wearing my favorite crooked smile. My breath caught in my throat. He took advantage of my speechlessness.
His mouth was on mine in an instant. His lips were unrelenting and urgent. Not in the way that scared me. No, this urgent was good. He pulled me closer to him so that I could feel every curve of his body on mine. I put my hands in his hair and he did the same to me. Then, all too soon, I needed to come up for air. He noticed that I was running out of breath and pulled back just an inch to stare into my face. We were both breathing heavy.
"What's the occasion," I asked, still breathless.
"I need a special occasion to kiss the most beautiful woman in the world?" He questioned, the crooked smile returning to his face.
"No Mr. Cullen, you may kiss me whenever you want," I told him.
"Thank you, Miss Swan." As he said this, he trailed kisses down the side of my neck. "How would you feel about staying over this weekend?" He asked.
"I would love to," I told him.
"Good, because your stuff is already at the house. I took it there last night when I went home to change."
"That was quite bold of you Mr. Cullen, I might not have said yes," I told him, trying to use my best British accent.
"Even if you had Miss Swan, I would have persuaded you otherwise," he told me, mimicking my accent, only his sounded real. Again, his coal black eyes mesmerized me and I was unable to look away. If I had said no, which of course I would never do, he would most certainly be able to change my mind.
"Not fair," I pouted. I hated that he had such an advantage over me.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it," he apologized. He looked smug though, knowing that he had this control over me.
I groaned and pushed away from him. Just as I sat up, he caught me around the waist.
"Where do you think you are going?" He asked. He had sat up next to me and was whispering in my ear.
I twisted my body so that I could look at him. "I'm not the one who's leaving, you are," I informed him.
"What?" He asked, looking bewildered.
"Well, if you are not going to play fair, then you have to leave," I teased. "Besides, your eyes are black. If I am going to stay over all weekend, then I want you to be well fed.
"As you wish," he told me, letting go of my waist. He got up to leave through the window when I stopped him.
I crossed my arms across my chest and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you forgetting something?" I asked him.
"I don't think so," he said. He pretended like he was thinking really hard about what he could be forgetting. "I have my jacket, my wallet…"
"Don't play dumb with me," I reprimanded him.
"Ah, I did forget something," he said. He walked back over to me. He took my face between his hands and leaned in to kiss me. I tried my hardest to keep my hands at my sides, but they had a mind of there own. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck. The kiss lasted for a moment longer, and then he pulled away and breathed in my ear, "Until later." He kissed me on the forehead and left out my window.
I got up and went to the bathroom to clean up. After I had changed, I went downstairs to get breakfast. I was surprised to see that Charlie was home. I remembered back to a few minutes ago. If Charlie had known what was going on… I shivered; I couldn't bear to think of what he would have done to Edward, not that it would hurt him.
"Oh, hey dad, I though you were going fishing today," I said.
"No, I'm going up to Billy's later to see the game," he told me. "I hear you have big plans.
"Do I?" I asked. I wanted to know what my story was for going to the Cullen's this weekend.
"Alice called ten minutes ago. The boys are going camping, so she wanted to know if you could come over."
"Oh, right, I forgot about that," I lied. "I guess I had better get going," I told him.
"Okay Bells, have fun. I'll see you Monday."
I went upstairs to grab a bag. I put a couple of essentials in it that Edward had forgotten. Then, I went back downstairs and said goodbye to Charlie.
I got in my truck and I drove out to Edward's house. Finally, I found the turn, and drove down the long winding path. As soon as I cut the engine, Emmett ran out of the house and opened my door.
"Hey Bella, what took you so long?" He boomed.
"Sorry if I drive a little slow for your taste," I told him. I hated when he made fun of my truck. I loved it, even if it was big and hulking. He started laughing. I tried to elbow him out of my way.
"Not so fast," he told me. He grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. The movement knocked the breath out of me.
"Emmett, put me down!" I yelled at him. I was pounding his back, not that I was hurting him. He put me down in the living room. I hadn't even realized that we had gone anywhere.
"Thanks," I told him. I hated when he did that.
"No problem," he told me, ruffling my hair.
"Emmett!" I yelled. He started to roar with laughter. "Ha, that's very funny."
"Emmett, you're getting off track," Alice reprimanded.
"What did I miss?" I asked, puzzled.
"Well," Alice started. She seemed very excited. She could barely stand still. "You know how Edward has total control over you when he "dazzles" you?"
"Don't remind me," I grumbled.
"We have a way you can get him back," she told me.
"I'm listening," I said, intrigued………………….

The pace of Queens home sales was pretty flat in April as the county began to transition out of one of its most severe winters in recent history. Now that we are getting warmer weather and in the peak selling season, we should see Queens home sales start to improve. Both prices and inventory rose in April as the weather improved, encouraging more people to get into the Queens housing market. Tight lending standards and lower affordability than was available at the same time last year have also dampened sales early in the year but their effects have been difficult to discern from those of the weather. Market conditions remain favorable for sellers to take advantage of newfound equity. Queens Home Buyers should begin to find more homes to choose from as inventory continues to loosen across Queens.
Month's Supply: 8.4 Months (Last Month: 7.5 Months)
Interest Rates
Rates dipped slightly from March to April as they continued to hover in the 4.3% to 4.4% range. Rates will likely follow a slow upward trend into the future; however, volatility in several global markets has led to some fluctuation in mortgage rates. Currently, Freddie Mac reports the following figures: 30-year fixed rate, 4.33%; 15-year fixed rate, 3.39%; 5/1-year adjustable rate, 3.03%.
Queens NY Home Sales
The seasonally adjusted annual pace of Queens home sales dropped to 559 homes in April. This is down 16.9% from the same month last year and down 18% from the previous month. Queens Home sales are generally expected to remain below last year's levels; however, the pace of home sales has been slower than expected due to a combination of lower affordability, tighter lending standards, and weather conditions.
Queens NY Home Prices
Median Queens home prices held steady from March to April at $370,000, according to the Long Island Board of Realtors. Year-over-year prices were up 2.8%. As inventory levels continue to loosen year over year, price growth will likely continue to slow but remain positive across Queens.
Queens NY Housing Inventory
Inventory levels have continued to increase through the year with 5,731 homes on the market in April, up 3.6% from 5,534 in March. This is a 8.4 Months' supply of inventory at the current sales pace, up from a 7.5 months' supply in the previous month and a 9.7 months' supply in the previous year. Inventory is expected to continue to ease as we get closer to the peak home-buying season and this should help slow down rises in Queens home prices.

After receiving the rank of Eagle, Jason strove to earn a bronze palm before he turned 18. He then made the decision to stay involved in Troop 39 by becoming an Assistant Scoutmaster. Next year, he will be attending UNC Chapel Hill.
Assistant Scoutmaster, Bill Falquero
Bill Falquero is a fine fellow and handsome devil. Born many many years ago in a small town called New York City, He migrated to Chapel Hill, North Carolina late in the last century. He is a highly trained and cranky Assistant Scoutmaster AKA Troop Bouncer… He enjoys Pina Coladas, getting caught in the rain, the smell of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.

Assistant Scoutmaster, Brent McKnight
Assistant Scoutmaster, Scottie "Bald Eagle" Meyer
Being the youngest of three boys, Scott missed out on the opportunity to be part of scouts because his family did not believe they had the time to properly commit to scouting for my older brothers and in effort to not show favoritism he was not allowed to participate.
Scott began his current journey with scouts when his two sons were in 3rd and 5th grade and they believed they were ready for the opportunity and challenge of scouting. The oldest son finished Webelos I and II in about six months, the youngest decided not to be outdone and when he became a Webelos, he earned the super twenty in nine months.
Scott likes the outdoors, hiking, and exploring to name just a few. He is also a bit of a geek and is fond of some shows from the mid 80's to the mid 90's to this day. He tends to have a bit of a Slapstick style of humor. Shirley he can be serious at times as long as you don't call him Shirley.
As a uniformed leader in the Best Scouting Experience in Chapel Hill he is pleased to see the growth of new scouts and families as they begin their first weekend endeavor thru that first full year. He also values the ability to be another adult for the mid-teen young men to go and be built up.
He is also a proud husband of the Troop's Advancement Chair and a 1st class scout and a Life scout.
Assistant Scoutmaster, Glyn Tomkins

5/2 It's going to be a fun summer
Home runs — gosh, when the wind's blowing out of here, it can happen very easily, especially with these guys and this team. Everybody with the pop they have — Soriano, me, Derrek Lee, even Theriot can get it up in the air and it's going out. Once we get our swings, it's going to be a lot of fun this summer when the wind's blowing out.
That Reynolds' homer in the fifth Saturday — I had no clue where it was. That was one of those where I was trying to jump as high as possible to see if I could get a glove on it. By the time I was on the ground, I saw the ball fall. I wasn't sure if it went over or bounced off. I was going to play it through regardless. I'm still going to play it through even if I know it's a home run. I'm still going to fire it in. They have instant replay now, but you never know.
As far as our offense, the hits are coming. They're coming. You can see everyone starting to get comfortable. I've heard about the Cubs in April and the Cubs from May on. Hopefully that's a trend that continues from May all the way through the playoffs. I know everybody was worried, everybody was wondering, what Rudy was doing. Rudy said from Day One, it takes time. I knew that. When I worked with him, it took me about a year to really understand and get my swing going. You can see it — you can see everybody getting better.
You can see it in Fukudome, you can see it in Theriot. You see guys are a little different. Even with Geo. It's all going to come out. Once we have our one through eight hitting, with the pitching we've been getting, it'll be a lot of wins for us.

dont forget about tyler colvin . ithink he would have 25 or more hr this year . byrd , theriot , lee , colvin . if you need a hit or drive a run in you can count on them they play has a team not for themselves if i was a mgr i would love to have them on my team. it shows that they play for the fans not for the money.
thank you and god bless
Do you like to steal bases yet, hun?
Do you miss being in Texas?
I just want to welcome you to the Chicago Cubs — the best baseball team in MLB. Not only do you have incredible skills, but you appear to have that special charisma possessed by so few. You have a sense of humor; you are intelligent and articulate; you have what it takes to command respect with nothing more than your quiet presence. I see this, also, in Derreck Lee. As an avid, long-time fan, I'm frustrated that I can only know you guys as I watch you play. I watch for those small signals of personality. What I would give for an hour to sit down and just talk . . . chat over a beer . . . with my second-favorite group of guys in the world (oh, did I mention that I'm also a King's Singers fan . . . six men I have chatted with many times)?
Anyway, you are going to help make this summer a joy, and thanks for all you and the rest of the guys do.
Nancy — a grateful fan
There's one word to describe Marlon Byrd……Hustle….. with a capital H! We Cubs fans appreciate and respect that.
Hi Marlon! I agree-it's going to be a very fun summer, especially with you here! This past 3-game win streak (against Arizona) has been really fun to watch, and it looks like it was fun for you guys too. I can definitely see the improvement in the teams' hitting, and like you said, if 1-8 all get hot….look out! We love having you here Marlon, and I wish you continued success throughout this year and every year. Your biggest fan, Rick.
"Rushing Marlon", Pete Rose got to be Proud of you. You put Enthuasism and the Love of baseball back in the game.
Go Cubs
Marlon, it's great the Cubs finally have a solid center fielder that can hit the long ball. Ive noticed that the fans have really taken to you and thats just great. Your personality is what we've needed for quite some time.. I agree with what you've said and I know that when Rudy's plan takes effect the Cubs are gonna shine right thru to the playoffs. IM so darn happy you're here and hope its for several years to come..I truly beleive that the cubs have the total package they've needed for some time now…Agan,, welcome aboard and continued good playing…
Marlon – welcome to Chicago. You're the exact kind of player Chicago fans love. You hustle every minute, you're enthusiastic, you have fun playing the game, and you never gripe or complain. By the time summer rolls around, you're going to OWN this city.
Dude you are fastly becoming one of my favorite Cubs…Im saving up a little out of each paycheck so I can buy one of your jerseys and wear it in the bleachers! Thanks for going all out everyday for us. I know I speak for everyone when I say that any player who plays the game like you and hustles like you would be loved on this team and in this city. I hope your hustle inspires the rest of our guys!
Thanks for everything!
-Ryan Peoria, IL
Marlon, I used to watch you play in Reading and I remember how excited everyone got when you came up to bat. I'm from the Philly area so I'm extremely glad to see you as a Cub. I get to rub it in all these Phils fans' faces how they don't have you anymore. Keep up the good work!
Welcome Marlon! To see your hustle in the outfield and on the bases is the ultimate "pump up" the Cubs need. That energy level has already pumped up us fans! Where do you store that energy at night? Keep that enthusiasm high and it will rub off. Best Byrdplay so far this year…… when you cleared out the opposing catcher while scoring a run, just plain ole Hard Play!….. not to mention the behind-the-back catch. Welcome to Chicago, "Hustle Muscle" Marlon!
Not only are you a great player and hitter but I can see your attitude is going to help our cubbies roll this year.I also love to see your sense of humor out there on the field.It's nice to see players having fun in this beautiful game.Thank you for going to the cubs!
hey man.. told everyone before the season that I thought you were an average pick up and that there were other players i would've rather have seen signed by the cubs BUT I couldnt have been more wrong.. You have been the biggest standout on the team in my opinion and everytime I watch a game you show more hustle and motivation than I can recall in the last few yrs.. and I want to be completely clear when I say that if you were on the Cubs in recent yrs when they actually made the playoffs you wouldve been the one to put them over the top.. I cant wait to see what happens this year and see how you help the Cubs progress as the complete package in the MLB.. keep it up man and thank you for proving this Cub fan wrong and giving me hope once again
I suspect we fans are all pleased to see that Soriano's bat has come back to life. But as I watch the replay of his 2nd home run on Sunday, I am reminded that his feet and legs remain lifeless. The ball just cleared the wall and he's assuming it's out of the park doing his watching – as opposed to running – down the 1st base line. He hadn't made it to 1st base as it cleared the wall!! Mr. Byrd, I suspect you have plenty to spare: please give Mr. Soriano some of your hustle so he can turn those lazy long singles into legitimate running doubles. There will be game situations where this is going to be crucial and I know it's already happened once this year!
Mr. Byrd, you have quickly become my favorite player on the team. Honestly, it is really a whole lot more because of your obvious hustle and great attitude than for your play on the field. Although, your play has been awesome!! Would you please teach some of these other guys to play half as hard as you do? I know Soriano has been hot of late hitting, but his hustle on the base paths and in the outfield would get him benched if he was on a High School team. Also, 7th inning vs Pirates tonight (5/5), Aramis (who seems unmotivated to get out of his slump) didn't even think of trying to get in the way of the double play (much less break it up). Would you please tell him how good it feels to, as Bob Brenly says about you, "knock a middle infielder into the left-field bleachers"? Thanks and Go Cubbies!!
I have to say that you are fast becoming my favorite player. There can never be enough players like you in a clubhouse with your positive energy. I think this was one of Jim Hendry's best free-agent signings to date because there isn't a price tag you can put on a player who hustles and has the attitude that you have. I think your personality can only rub off on your teammates in a good; not just rookies but the veterans, as well. I've been following your career ever since you were the Phillies top prospect and glad that you are finally getting a chance to play on a everyday basis. I know your best years are yet to come. Good luck Marlon!
Marlon, great to see that the Cubs' fans have taken to you so quickly. I came on this site before the season started and told them that they would. You always displayed yourself on and off the field the way a ball player and man should in my opinion. Thanks for all you did for us in Texas. Continued success my friend. I miss you being here.
Texas Rangers' Fan
Mighty Mike can hit them too. His grand slam, pinch hit was awesome. I really like Fontenot and I hate the fact that he once again drew the short straw. He is a really good 2nd basemen, and he has been hitting really well this year. Now he lost his job, through no fault of his own.
Last year he had to learn 3rd base on the fly, and he didn't have a great season. That wouldn't have happened if we would have had a back up 3rd basemen.
The only good thing that could come from this, is that hopefully he will be a better 3rd basemen this year, and we can use him there and bench Ramirez. Let's really put the players on the field that are playing well, and Ramirez is NOT playing well.
hey man whats goin on. I just wanna say its so great to finally have an everyday centerfielder whom us cubs fans can trust to work hard. keep it up man this mini slumps is bound to end soon here just keep your head up, your too good of a ballplayer and work too hard to not.
also you should talk to some people around the cubs organization and see what you guys could do to team up w an a.l. team to get extra votes for you guys in the allstar game like phillie did with detroit last year! the cubs are a lovable franchise w many fans. why wouldnt they wanna team up with you guys! and it would be awsome to see a lot of cubs in the all star game. and if you ask me the best teams would be either the angels or twins haha
good luck w the cards and keep flyin Byrdman!
You are a ray of sunshine this year. Hope the sky clears up more as the season progresses. Thanx for the blog and your positive energy.

John writes to us with a question regarding the Lasix online sales on his Zithromax china:
I love the Cases I bought from you this spring for my R1200GS. Unfortunately, a friend ran into the back of me and marred the back and side of my right Pilot Case. Is there any unusual touch up paint I should look for or will any gloss black spray can type such as Rust-oleum work. It is amazing to me that the luggage wasn't hurt because he hit me pretty hard only contacting only the right side case. I think I did a back flip from the collision but was not hurt. The case was not bent.
Yikes! Glad to hear he's OK. This is a good question that we hear from time to time. The cases are rugged and that powdercoat finish is tough, but sometimes you have a friend crash into you… Hey, it happens.
To repair a simple scratch, we suggest Rust-OLeum. Match the Rust-OLeum cap to best match the color of your cases. [Insider's Tip: For vein colored cases, look for the "Hammered" finish Rust-Oleum]. Instead of spraying it directly onto the case, spray it on to a scrap piece of cardboard and then dab it on with a paintbrush.
Looking for a more exact match? Try an auto parts stores. They typically have touch up paint for sale in small bottles.
For large areas of damage, we recommend you send us your cases. We will professionally grind down the surface and apply a fresh powdercoat finish.
Do you have a question about your Micatech Motorcycle Luggage? Contact us and let us know what's on your mind!

The Positive Reinforcement Opportunity Project (PROP) is a 12-week program that uses positive reinforcement to support gay/bisexual men, other men who have sex with men and trans women who choose to stop using Methamphetamines ("Speed," "Crystal," "Tina") without the use of groups or meetings.
Participants agree to visit our PROP sites three times a week for 12 weeks for observed urine testing. The visits are designed to be short, so they should only take a few minutes after the initial.
Each time participants test negative for crystal meth, they are given verbal positive reinforcements and have the opportunity to earn a maximum of $330.00 in gift cards, and gift certificates of their choosing that can be requested once they have earned at least $20 in their accounts.
If participants do test positive for crystal meth while participating in PROP, they are encouraged to come back the next testing day and try again.
If you are active in a 12-step program, you are still eligible to participate in PROP.
The use of ecstasy, cocaine or certain cold and allergy medicines may cause the urine test used in PROP to react as positive for crystal use. To participate, you will be asked to refrain from using these substances during the 12 weeks.
Participants, PROP staff are expected to treat everyone in an honest and fair manner. Accordingly, a PROP participant who fails to abide to specific site rules and regulations may be immediately terminated from PROP.
Because PROP is a form of treatment that relies on self-motivation to change behavior, current participation in other treatment programs, (i.e. residential, outpatient and treatment based housing programs) prior to enrollment in PROP will exclude you from participation. However, if you seek treatment while enrolled in PROP you are eligible to continue.
Come to our offices during PROP hours:
Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays – 1pm-4pm
We're located at 1035 Market St, 4th floor, San Francisco, CA [map]
Interested in participating, but have more questions? Call us at (415) 487-3115 or (415) 297-4723 also you can email Rick.
If you are a medical provider or agency representative and want more information on referring patients to PROP, or would like an in-service presentation on PROP services, please call us at (415) 487-3115 or (415) 297-4723 or you can email Rick.

HONOLULU — Hawaiian Airlines plans to start non-stop service from Honolulu to China beginning next year and will eliminate service to Manila over the summer.
The airline said the thrice-weekly flights from Honolulu to Beijing are expected to start on April 16, 2014, pending U.S. and Chinese regulatory approval.
This would be Hawaiian Airlines 10th new international destination since November 2010. The new service is expected to produce $81 million in annual visitor spending and $8.47 million in tax revenue for Hawaii, according to the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
Hawaiian Airlines said it is discontinuing nonstop service to Manila because of underperformance. Chief Commercial Officer Peter Ingram said in a statement that high fuel prices and low fares hurt the route.
Flights to Manila, which began in April 2008, were running four times a week. The final flight from Honolulu to Manila will be on July 31.
The company said that its reservations department will make arrangements with other airlines serving Manila to accommodate passengers with flights scheduled to Manila after Aug. 1.
Hawaiian Airlines is a subsidiary of Hawaiian Holdings Inc. Its new service between Honolulu and Taipei, Taiwan, starts on July 9. It also offers nonstop service to Hawaii from 11 U.S. cities and has service from Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa, and Tahiti. The company provides about 160 daily flights between the Hawaiian islands.

HOUSTON - Reading, writing and arithmetic are still at the heart of education in schools. But with a booming oil industry in Houston a new school is taking education a step farther with a focus on energy.
August 26 the marks the first day of school for HISD and at the Energy Institute High School, 200 students will walk into the first of its kind in the country.
"The energy industry is booming since Houston is the center. The thought of having this school in Houston is exciting," said freshman Timothy Chung.
He is among 200 incoming freshmen accepted to Energy Institute High. It's a STEM school focusing on science, technology, engineering and math.
"To be able to connect them to the real world experiences that they're going to have once they graduate from high school," said Dr. Andrew Houlihan, HISD Chief of Major Projects.
Back on April 12 it was announced this school would open in the fall. A passionate advisory board made up of professionals in the industry helped get this former elementary school geared up for the 21st century in energy and science labs and classrooms.
"In four years we look forward to counting your scholarship dollars. Looking forward to these students adding to our industry," said HISD Board Trustee Paula Harris.
This specialized magnet program is designed to help students interested in pursuing a career in energy.
"We know building a strong future Houston and energy industry developing skills the talents and most importantly the passions of our young people," said Sara Ortwein with ExxonMobil.
Enrollment is capped at 200. We're told 50 students remain on the wait list.

by Richard Martin, head of corporate reporting, ACCA
Late 2012 IASB issued for comment what might have seemed an innocent suggestion that it set up a new consultative forum bringing together national standard setters (NSS). The aim is clear – for IASB to co-operate more closely with them to develop and get support for the new IFRS that it will seek to put out.
The joint working arrangements and common agenda with the US FASB are winding down because of a lack of forward impetus in US adoption of IFRS and because the joint standards will be finalised in 2013 (perhaps) either as common standards or as separate slightly different standards. Some new arrangement is needed for a continuing IASB-FASB dialogue. Equally IASB has bilateral relations and meetings with the Japanese and EFRAG for Europe. It all seems better to merge these together, simplify the IASB Chairman's travel schedule and ensure other voices than the US are in the conversation. Hence IASB have suggested this Accounting Standards Advisory Forum (ASAF).
However the problem comes in deciding how many countries can be at the ASAF table and who they should be. IASB have got as far as suggesting there should be 12 seats only, without yet saying who will be selected. The 12 are to be split as three for North America, three for Europe, thre for Asia – Pacific, one each for Africa and South America and two spare. This has created in Europe anyway a huge fight over who will be at the table. There is EFRAG who of course has always wanted to be seen as 'the European voice' on accounting standards, but there also more than three large countries. It would seem to be the same issue in Asia with at least three large countries – China, India and Japan – not leaving enough seats for anyone else. Add to this the problems of parcelling up the world like this – Russia and Turkey are both in Europe and in Asia for instance, and where do the Caribbean countries fit? The risk for the IASB is that this will not just lead to regional squabbling, but IASB is going to have make the decisions and there seem likely as a consequence to be more disappointed NSS disenchanted with IASB, than happy ones.
So what is important is not to put too much emphasis on ASAF, but keep IASB focussed on its due process wide range consultations. There is of course also the possibility that ASAF will turn out to be a bit of a talking shop and not as critical as every standard setter seems to think it will be.

The Chicago Fire and Sporting Kansas City played to a 1-1 draw Tuesday afternoon in both sides' third matches of the 2011 MLS Reserve League. The two teams traded first half goals before playing to a scoreless second half.
Making his Reserves debut, newly minted Fire striker Cristian Nazarit gave the Fire an early lead when strike partner Orr Barouch won the ball at the top of the 18. The Colombian forward ran on to the ball, carrying it into the box before slotting his low effort past Jimmy Nielsen and into the left corner to give the Fire a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute.
Following the goal, the Fire carried much of the possession through the next 20 minutes, but gave up the equalizer against the run of play as Sporting midfielder Luke Sassano rocketed a shot from the top of the penalty arc which beat Fire 'keeper Alec Dufty before coming off the cross bar and falling to the feet of Chance Myers. The fourth year Kansas City player took a touch before burying the rebound past Dufty from close range in the 40th minute.
Myers almost put Kansas City ahead two minutes later when a giveaway in the Fire midfield resulted in Sporting striker C.J. Sapong running towards the top of the Fire penalty area. Sapong laid the ball off for Myers whose chip got taken by the wind and went just over Dufty's goal in the 42nd minute.
Switching sides at the half, the Fire used the wind to their advantage early when midfielder Baggio Husidic played a long ball over the top for Barouch who ran onto the ball in stride, before beating defender Shavar Thomas. Walking in alone on Nielsen's goal, Barouch's low effort was saved by the charging Danish 'keeper to preserve the 1-1 score line in the 50th minute.
Just a minute later, Barouch threaded a great ball to Bratislav Ristic down the left who ran into space before crossing for Husidic at the top of the penalty area. The third-year Fire midfielder fired his effort just over Nielsen's bar in the 51st minute.
Though good offensive spurts came at the start of the half, the rest of the match fell off following a foul on Victor Pineda in the 66th minute. The play resulted in a tussle between the two sides with the Fire's Ristic and Barouch receiving yellow cards, while Kansas City's Sassano was also cautioned.
With neither team able to put much together through the end of the half, referee Michael Kennedy blew the whistle and the two sides shared a point a piece.
With the result, the Fire Reserves move to 2-0-1 (7 pts.) and sit atop the MLS Reserve League's Central division. Sporting moves to 1-1-1 (4 pts.) and stay at fourth spot in the division.
Sporting is back in Reserve League action Sunday, May 29 when they visit the Colorado Rapids while the Fire take a long break from Reserve play, with the next match coming Tuesday, July 5th when they welcome the FC Dallas Reserves to TOYOTA PARK.
