Lawmakers push 2015 minimum wage boostBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | April 02,2014MONTPELIER A House panel voted Tuesday to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour and is looking to do it next year rather than phase it in over three years as Gov. Peter Shumlin has requested.
Raising the minimum wage has gained steam in the Legislature since Shumlin and other New England governors attended an event last month with President Barack Obama calling for a $10.10 rate.
Shumlin, however, wants the increase from Vermonts current $8.73 rate to come in three increments over three years.
The House General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee charted its own course Tuesday, voting to raise the wage beginning Jan. 1, 2015.
Annual cost-of-living increases will kick in beginning Jan. 1, 2016. Those increases will be the lower of 5 percent or the national consumer price index increase.
The panels two Republicans, Rep. Warren Van Wyck of Ferrisburgh and Rep. Brian Savage of Swanton, voted no.
The committee began the session considering a jump to $12.50 per hour, based on a bill introduced by lead sponsor Rep. Paul Poirier, I-Barre.
But Shumlins support for the $10.10 wage sought by the president took hold in the State House. The bill advanced by the committee Tuesday includes a study due in January 2016 on the impacts of raising the rate to a livable wage.
Several committee members cited a report by Tom Kavet, the Legislatures economist, showing the jump to $10.10 would probably have negligible, if any, negative aggregate economic consequences and could be an important component in advancing some of the lowest-income workers towards a livable income.
The report, as Van Wyck noted to the committee, also found that raising the minimum wage could cost the state 250 jobs.
Connecticut has already moved to raise its minimum wage, and Massachusetts is in the legislative process to do the same. Van Wyck warned that unless New Hampshire, which has a $7.25 per hour rate, does the same, Vermont could see a negative impact.
Unless theres some sort of regional lifting of the minimum wage this could, perhaps, turn out to be a jobs bill for New Hampshire, he said.
Both Van Wyck and Savage indicated they would have likely opposed the bill even if it had Shumlins three-year phased jump to $10.10.
Its too much of a jump, even in 2017, Savage said.
Van Wyck said the wage increase will likely increase teenage unemployment and drive up the cost of goods and services that Vermonters buy.
As wages go up, prices are going to go up also, he said. I think some of the effects of the higher wage are going to be offset by the fact that everythings going to be a bit more also. Like any of these things, theres going to be winners and losers.
But most committee members saw more of an upside to boosting pay for the states low-income workers.
We know that Vermonters cant earn enough money in 40 hours to pay their rent, she said. People have to work like 89 hours per week just to live, said Rep. Cynthia Weed, P/D-Enosburg Falls.
Advocates said they were happy to see an immediate jump to $10.10.
Raising the minimum wage to $10.10 next year means a pay raise for 20,000 hard-working Vermonters, said Dan Barlow, public policy manager for Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility.
Were pretty sure that they are going to immediately invest that money back into the Vermont economy, buying Vermont goods and services, to the tune of about $30 million in economic activity, he said. So, we think this was a good first step.
James Haslam, executive director of the Vermont Workers Center, also said the $10.10 rate is a step in the right direction. Still, consideration of an even higher wage as originally proposed in the House has been thwarted by pressure from the states business lobby, he said.
Shumlin spokeswoman Sue Allen, in an email, said the governor was reserving judgment as lawmakers continue to work on the bill.
The Governor believes this is a good discussion to have, and he appreciates the Houses work on the issue. Gov. Shumlin believes his original proposal continues to have merit, but will let the Legislature do its work because almost everyone agrees that Vermonters working hard for minimum wage deserve a better chance at prosperity, Allen wrote.

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
I been watching since seaosn 1 , i always liked elana , but now omg , when klaus first came into the show , i was like omg they need kill him hes a dick , now i want klaus to ripp elana`s heart out and eat it , I hope silas resurects Kol and all other originals , Then Kol can beat elana to death with jeremy`s arm , Then they all leave and go onto the original`sPRECH And as for your period Kitty, We wouldnt mind the selifshness and the bitchiness of that mary-sue whore if she was really written better and developed a bit like Caroline. Her selfishness is rooted from her hypocrisy and her cravings for more Salvatore-cock.
Her selfishness is rooted from her hypocrisy and her cravings for more Salvatore-cock.
Which would be perfectly fine and GREAT characterization if it was written correctly.
So yet, again. Elena's problem is NOT that she is a hyprocite. Hypocrites are awesome characters to explore...if they are written correctly or well, WRITTEN.
Elena's problem is not that she is selfish or an idiot. Those are also great flaws for characterization...if they are written correctly or well, WRITTEN.
If Elena was actually WRITTEN as a selfish hypocrite who says one thing but clearly disregards it because of her obsession, it would be GOOD writing. Hell I'd actually still most likely be with the show because that would make her INTERESTING.
Let her screw up, be two-faced, be called out on her hypocrisy, disregard human lives etc for her obsession, etc. That's good. that's interesting. But actually ACKNOWLEDGE IT HAPPENING and handle it within the show. TVD never did that, sadly.
the problem is that while she comes off that way, the writing does NOT treat her that way, making the real world logic viewpoint to her character moot in-universe.
I like selfish, egoistic flawed people. because, I mean, seriously, hello, this is me~ remember the shows I follow?In one a borderline sociopath girl is ruining lives of everyone around her for revenge, in another a borderline psychopath dude is shooting people with arrows for the same reason And my guilty pleasure show? Is about someone who has sex every day with a different character(including threesomes), flirted with every single cast member including her own mother(with whom she made out with), just because she found them pretty. Oh and she now started killing people for the lulz because they taste good.(and the rest of the cast is just as colorful)
And then you have my alltime favorite shows like BTVS/ATS, Dollhouse, BSG and so on, which EACH of them is filled with morally bankrupt screw up people.
WHy? because I love that shit.
IF Elena was actually WRITTEN the way she seems to BE when logically looking at her actions(selfish hypocritical egoist who sugarcoats everything in the self-sacrifice tirade to feel better about the shit she does), I would actually like her character.

Rachel Weisz has insisted that despite starring in a rival special agent movie to husband Daniel Craig, she is loyal to James Bond and Jason Bourne.
The Oscar-winning actress stars in action film The Bourne Legacy - billed as the American rival franchise to 007 - but she told Empire magazine there will be no off-screen rivalry between her and hubby Daniel.
Rachel said: "Oh gosh, that's an unfair question! How do I answer that? Where do my loyalties lie? To both. I want them both to do well. I don't have to choose do I? People can see them both. I would like them both to sell an equally enormous number of tickets."
Meanwhile, the 42-year-old star of The Mummy - who co-founded a student drama group called Cambridge Talking Tongues while studying at Cambridge University - claims she was shy about performing when she was younger.
She said: "I wasn't so much a shy child, but I was shy about acting. I wasn't the sort of kid whose mother would put her on the table and make her dance for everyone.
"I wasn't the star of school plays, I was the third lead or something. I was generally very shy of performing. I wasn't a 'performer'. I'm still not really like that, I don't think. I don't have that 'jazz hands' thing in me."
Rachel Weisz has insisted that despite starring in a rival special agent movie to husband Daniel Craig, she is loyal to James Bond and Jason Bourne.
It seems that Kim Kardashian is getting much more than her usual fair share of publicity, following her revelation that she was filing for divorce from her husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage. Now if appears that James Bond actor Daniel Craig has had just about enough of Kim Kardashian and has decided to attack the reality television star for selling herself and then wanting her privacy back.
Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig married in June, but Rachel is still a self confessed 'blushing bride'.
Actress Rachel told The Teleraph: "I'm a newlywed. I'm still a blushing bride and it's really private. I can't tell you anything. Come back to me later."
It was just a year ago when the actress separated from her long time partner Darren Aronosky who is also the director of the hit film 'Black Swan.' After the split she began dating Bond star Daniel Craig who also broke up with his fiancé Satsuki Mitchell.
The two fell for each other as they worked together on the thriller 'Dream House.' According to Rachel, she truly enjoyed working with Craig. The two are actually long time acquaintances already and had been familiar with each other since they were both in their twenties. Rachel, 41, spoke of their first time working together for 'Les Grandes Horizontales,' saying of Daniel: "He is a very good actor."
Weisz has a five-year-old son with her ex-husband but still remains private regarding her plans of having children with her new husband. Rumours have circulated that Rachel is already expecting a baby, but she was quick to dispell the gossip, saying: "I read that I wasn't drinking alcohol because I was pregnant. It's not true."
Bourne trilogy actor Matt Damon has revealed that, despite not appearing in the latest Bourne movie, he hopes that he and director Paul Greengrass will make a return to the franchise. Matt admitted that he is looking forward to seeing how Jeremy Renner does as Bourne but he is hoping to return in the future.
British actress Rachel Weisz has revealed how she accepted the role in her latest movie Dream House because she simply loved everything about it. Rachel stars in Dream House alongside her real life husband, and fellow British actor, Daniel Craig.
Earlier this year Terrence Malick finished filming his latest, as of yet, untitled movie and one name on the cast list caught our eye. Amanda Peet. We were unsure that Amanda was even still acting these days, as she has not been in a movie since last Decembers big budget disappointment, Gulliver's Travels.

Frank Ocean remix featuring Big Boi and Andre 3000 released
The long-hoped-for OutKast reunion finally materialized (in a way) Friday night with the release of Frank Ocean's "Pink Matter" remix, which features appearances by both members of the influential Atlanta rap duo. The song premiered on hip-hop journalist Elliott Wilson's East Village Radio show, and though we can't post it here due to some naughty language, you can hear it now on Big Boi's SoundCloud page.

It was a Saturday and I was moping around the house. I had plenty to do but not in the mood to do any of it. I use to say I have never been lonely but lately I have learned what loneliness feels like. I asked myself, "Self, are you having a pity party?"
When my sister, Vivian, was alive she would tell me she only allowed herself 5 minutes of self-pity. I try to always remember her wisdom.
Then the telephone rang! It was my four year old great grandson, Chayce. He asked if he could come over to see me. His Daddy (my grandson, Ray) and his grandfather ("PowPow" my son-in-law, Herb) were at a Christian Retreat in Texas.
Needless to say I was delighted. Anyone with grandchildren, understand sperfectly. Then the conversation went sort of like this:
MeMe (That's me) – "Yes, I would love for you to come over. I have something for you." (A Lego Kit...he's into Legos these days. Anytime I am out shopping, grocery or otherwise and I see something my grandchildren might enjoy and I can afford it; like most grandmothers, I purchase it).
Chayce – "What is it?"
MeMe – "I can't tell you because it is a surprise."
Chayce – "What's a surprise?"
(How does one explain to a child what a surprise is? So of course, as any hard questions to answer from a four year old, one passes the buck.)
MeMe – "Ask your MeMaw." (my daughter, Carol). "You just com'n over, and you'll find out what the & a surprise is."
When they arrived, Carol also had a surprise for me. She brought along their leftovers from the evening before - Mexican Lasagna which she said was actually Herb's original recipe. It's a KEEPER yawl.
I enjoyed my surprise, aAnd Chayce liked his surprise too. Such an amazing afternoon that turned out to be. It is fascinating to see life through a child's eyes and share their world for a little while
Mexican Lasagna
1 (16 oz.) No-Cook Lasagna Noodles
1 cup salsa
1 cup water
1 lb. ground beef
1 (16 oz.) can Mexican Refried Beans
1 (1.5 oz.) packet Taco Seasoning
1 (8 oz.) pkg. grated Mexican cheeses
In a 13 X 9 inch greased casserole dish, place a layer of the noodles. Combine the salsa and water and spread one-third of this over the noodles.
Mix beef, beans, and Taco Seasoning packet; spread one-third over the salsa mix. Top that with the Mexican cheese.
Repeat layers two more times. (You probably will not use all the noodles).
Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes.
Thanking God for Grandchildren!

More than a dozen years of warfighting in Southwest Asia have changed the face of tactical operations. Program systems continued to work their way into the force, but wartime exigencies led to new technology insertion activities that sped badly needed innovations to warfighters. Now, with the wars winding down, planners are turning back to methodical programs for equipping forces with the best information technologies available. But those lessons learned in Southwest Asia and the corridors of the Pentagon still are being applied as leaders constantly strive to upgrade tactical communications and electronics systems.
The cloud is not the future; the cloud is today. Government and industry are accelerating moves to the cloud, and these activities are opening the door to new capabilities. But with all these efforts comes the same peril that plagues earthbound information systems and networks: cyberthreats. The cloud offers its own set of unique security issues, and with increasing reliance on it comes greater urgency to secure vital data.

Review of the 2006 BMW 7 Series
The 2006 BMW 7 Series is a brilliant luxury sedan scarred by senselessly complicated interior controls. However, toned-down styling and an extra dose of power make it easier to enjoy this year.
- Safety
Superb driving dynamics, world-class drivetrains, highly advanced safety systems, dizzying array of features, sumptuous furnishings.
High-tech toys distract from the task at hand, confusing secondary controls, odd styling details.
What's New for 2006
With the 2006 BMW 7 Series, the company has toned down the car's styling and shifted the emphasis back to performance. After a five-year absence, the 750 badge is back for 2006, but this time it carries a big V8, not a V12. A 4.8-liter V8 replaces last year's 4.4-liter and provides a generous increase in power. The 745 model is history. Walnut wood trim replaces last year's cherry; Bluetooth is now standard; all interior knobs have chrome trim and the CD changer is now MP3-compatible.Read full review of the 2006 BMW 7 Series

What's New for 2006
With the 2006 BMW 7 Series, the company has toned down the car's styling and shifted the emphasis back to performance. After a five-year absence, the 750 badge is back for 2006, but this time it carries a big V8, not a V12. A 4.8-liter V8 replaces last year's 4.4-liter and provides a generous increase in power. The 745 model is history. Walnut wood trim replaces last year's cherry; Bluetooth is now standard; all interior knobs have chrome trim and the CD changer is now MP3-compatible.
As BMW's flagship sedan, the 7 Series offers supreme levels of luxury and performance. The BMW 7 Series is available in four models -- the regular-wheelbase 750i and 760i, and the long-wheelbase 750Li and 760Li. Powering each 750 model is a 4.8-liter V8 with bi-VANOS dual variable valve timing, Valvetronic technology that infinitely adjusts valve lift and a two-stage intake system that matches intake manifold length to engine speed.
Thusly equipped, this V8 makes 360 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. The 760 models sport a 6.0-liter V12 with 438 hp and 444 lb-ft of torque. Abundant power for sure, but still far below what Mercedes-Benz offers in its most powerful sedans. Still, the 760 is the greater technological marvel, as it employs direct gasoline-injection technology, which along with Valvetronic and Double VANOS, allows it to maximize power, torque and fuel economy simultaneously.
Once you step up to the super-luxury sedan segment, you expect prospective cars to amaze you with their fabulous levels of luxury and safety, and the 7 Series does not disappoint in these areas: The front seats offer up to 20-way power adjustments and the rear seats give you 14-way adjustment. And you can heat or cool just about any surface inside the car. The BMW 7 Series also offers a high level of competence when pushed hard on twisty roads -- something that can't be said of most of its competitors.
The most important innovation contained in the 7 Series is also the one that gives us the most pause: the iDrive system. While able to manage a lot of functions -- onboard telematics, including GPS navigation, Internet access and the BMW Assist system (for emergencies), as well as climate and stereo functions -- iDrive has a steep learning curve. Basic adjustments can be made rather easily, but more complex functions require time with the owner's manual and patience to learn -- and we know of more than one driver who has accidentally drifted out of his lane while fiddling with the system. If you're wealthy, love technology like this (and don't mind the frustration that comes with it) and have always wanted to own a large, luxurious sedan, the 2006 BMW 7 Series is likely the car for you. But if you seek a more straightforward experience, one of its many competitors may prove to be a more rewarding daily driver.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
Four versions of the BMW 7 Series sedan are offered: the standard-wheelbase 750i and 760i, and the long-wheelbase 750Li and 760Li. Standard fare on the 750i includes 18-inch wheels, bi-HID headlights, park distance control, adaptive headlights, leather upholstery, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, walnut wood interior trim, a 14-way power driver seat and 12-way front-passenger seat, a navigation system, a 10-speaker sound system with a CD player, dual-zone climate control, one-touch windows and a moonroof. The 750Li adds 20-way adjustable front seats and dynamic front headrests (both optional on the 750i). Both cars are eligible for a long list of options -- the only difference is that the 750Li can be had with power rear seats to complement the extra legroom in the back. Otherwise, options include 19-inch wheels, Active Cruise Control, an adaptive ride package with a self-leveling rear suspension and Electronic Damping Control, "soft-close" doors and trunk lid, heating and cooling for the front seats and a premium sound system with an in-dash CD changer. Almost all of the above items come standard on the 760i and 760Li. A rear DVD entertainment package is also available, and features a rear-seat iDrive controller and screen, along with a trunk-mounted six-disc DVD changer.
Powertrains and Performance
The BMW 750i and 750Li are powered by a 4.8-liter V8 with 360 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque, along with impressive mileage ratings of 18 city/26 highway. The 760i and 760Li offer a 6.0-liter V12 with direct-injection technology -- the first V12 production engine to use this. Mileage numbers are lower than the 750i at 15 city/22 highway, but power is impressive at 438 hp and 444 lb-ft of torque.
Included on every 7 Series model are four-wheel antilock disc brakes with proportioning, cornering and stability enhancements, BMW's Dynamic Stability Control system, front side-impact airbags, head protection airbags for front and rear occupants, and active knee protection.
Interior Design and Special Features
Inside, the BMW 7 Series cabin has a clean appearance, thanks to the minimal center stack controls. The iDrive system was designed to consolidate the vehicle's control systems into one easy-to-use interface, but even with this year's usability upgrades, the learning curve is steep. Backseat passengers will be just as comfortable as those in front, as the rear seatback contours perfectly to support your lower back and shoulders, while headroom and legroom are abundant. Go for the 750Li or 760Li and you'll get 5.6 inches of increased wheelbase, most of it going into rear-seat legroom.
Driving Impressions
Even at high speeds, the 7 Series cabin is devoid of engine and wind noise. Steering feel is typical BMW with relatively high weighting and excellent feedback. Body roll is held in check during cornering via the standard Active Roll Stabilization system. While it may be a stretch to call such a large car nimble, it's easy to confuse the 2006 BMW 7 Series for a sport sedan on the open road.

I am sure that Romney will bring up the ads at the debate and tell people the ads are misrepresentations of the facts. Obama will keep lying anyway, and his faithful will believe Obama because they want to believe the lie is true.
One problem is most of the people who believe the ads don't watch the debates, so any rebuttal won't even reach the deaf ears.
We need to pray the MSM will wake up, see how bad Obama really is, and turn on him -- late enough that he won't have time to plan a major reaction, but early enough the message will have time to sink in.

Trinity Mirror plc is a large British newspaper, magazine and digital publisher. It is Britain's biggest newspaper group, publishing 240 regional papers as well as the national Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and People, and the Scottish Sunday Mail and Daily Record. Its headquarters are at Canary Wharf in London. Listed on the London Stock Exchange, it is a constituent of the FTSE SmallCap Index.
The Daily Mirror was launched by Alfred Harmsworth for gentlewomen in 1903.[3] The company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange on 2 December 1953.[4]
In 1958 the International Publishing Company (IPC) acquired Mirror Group Newspapers, but IPC was in turn taken over by publishing giant Reed International in 1970.[5] In 1984 Pergamon Holdings, a company owned by Robert Maxwell, acquired the Daily Mirror[3] from Reed International. The Company was relisted as Mirror Group in 1991.[6]
The company went on to buy Scottish & Universal Newspapers in 1992, and in 1997 it acquired the Birmingham Post and Mail.[3]
Trinity Mirror was formed in September 1999 by the merger of Trinity plc, a company formed in 1985 to buy the Liverpool Post and Echo, with Mirror Group plc. As a condition of the merger Trinity Mirror was forced to sell the Belfast Telegraph group.[3] The next year, the company acquired the regional publisher Southnews.
During 2005 the company introduced a number of measures to manage discretionary spending more carefully, some of which attracted press attention.[7]
In 2007 the company sought to sell a number of titles: the Reading Chronicle was sold to Berkshire Media Group[8] and 25 Trinity Mirror South titles were sold to Northcliffe Media.[9] On 1 October 2007 it was announced that the sale of the Racing Post had been completed: the entire sale process had raised £263 million.[10]
In September 2008 the company announced that it would be closing the printing plant in Liverpool after 154 years of printing in the city, and transferring the work to Oldham.[11]
In February 2010, Trinity Mirror acquired the regional M.E.N. Media and S&B Media divisions of the Guardian Media Group, containing 22 local titles across Northern England and in Surrey and Berkshire; this includes the Manchester Evening News and Reading Evening Post.[12]
In March 2010, Trinity Mirror stated that it will end its bout of staff cuts and newspaper closures. The announcement came as the company reported pre-tax profits of £72.7m for 2009, exceeding analysts expectations.[13]
In January 2012 it was announced Trinity Mirror acquired Communicator Corp, a digital communications company specialising in email and mobile communications for £8m.[14]
In August 2013, Trinity Mirror announced its partnership with whocanfixmycar.com, a portal connecting motorists nationwide with trusted local garages and mechanics.[15]
In June 2014, Trinity Mirror transitioned its online bingo software from Dragonfish to Virtue Fusion from Playtech for its group of bingo brands.[16]
Trinity Mirror's printing division, Trinity Mirror Printing Ltd,[17] is located at nine press sites throughout the UK, printing and distributing thirty-six major newspapers for the UK, including the Daily and Sunday Mirror, The People, the Daily Record (in Scotland), and other contract titles including titles for the Guardian Media Group.[18] Trinity Mirror also owns a number of local titles in Northern England and in Surrey and Berkshire, after acquiring a number of titles from the Guardian Media Group in 2010. For a list of local and national titles owned by Trinity Mirror, see List of Trinity Mirror titles.
In 2013, Trinity Mirror launched the content websites UsVsTh3m and Ampp3d on an experimental basis. UsVsTh3m is a website similar to Buzzfeed focused on quizzes and Flash games, edited by B3ta founder Rob Manuel and running the Tumblr platform. Ampp3d is focused on data journalism [19][20] and uses the WordPress platform.

In his State of the Industry address, Tony Tyler shared his reflections on the 100th anniversary of civil aviation
Pharmaceuticals are a critical industry that moves one trillion dollars per year. Temperature changes during transportation can be a serious threat to the integrity of these sensible products.
Transporting healthcare products by air needs the establishment of complex logistical methods to maintain shipment's integrity. It requires specific equipment, storage facilities, harmonized handling procedures and, above all, strong cooperation among the cold chain partners.
IATA created a Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) in Pharmaceutical Handling with the aim of helping the industry to improve the transport and handling of pharmaceutical products to meet the requirements of shippers and manufacturers. The CEIV Pharma program includes an assessment of airlines, handlers and forwarders on their cool chain processes and facilities to ensure compliance with international standards and guidelines, as well as specialized training for their employees.
The IATA Temperature Control Regulations (TCR) addresses temperature management issues identified by the industry. This manual provides the requirements and standards for the transportation and handling of pharmaceutical products, including the compulsory use of the Time and Temperature Sensitive Label.
Mandatory from 1 July 2012, the IATA Time and Temperature Sensitive Label is a shipment label specific for the healthcare industry. It must be affixed to all shipments booked as time and temperature sensitive cargo and indicate the external transportation temperature range of the shipment.
It is the responsibility of the shipper (or designated shipper's agent by service agreement) to ensure that the label is applied properly for time and temperature sensitive healthcare cargo shipments booked as such.
The purpose of the IATA Standard Acceptance Checklist is to inform airlines and ground-handling agents of the minimum checks to execute in temperature sensitive healthcare shipments. That ensures that the process meets all the requirements established by the TCR.
Since July 2013, this Acceptance Checklist is a requisite for the transportation of time and temperature sensitive healthcare shipments. See IATA notice (pdf).
The Time & Temperature Task Force (TTTF) develops and maintains standards for the procedures, documentation, cargo handling, packaging and acceptance of goods from the healthcare sector, under guidance from the Live Animals and Perishables Board (LAPB).

"My mom won't let me."
Inside, the TV is still on. "I want to tell you," Alan says to Tracy's mother, talking over the television, "that this young lady has very good safety skills on the bike. She saw a van that we didn't see, and she stopped for it."
Mom looks skeptical.
He continues, "So, I might let her go down to the park and back." Pause. "If you wanted..."
"By herself?" Mom says.
"I had so much fun!" Tracy says.
Mom changes the subject to who got voted out in last night's Big Brother episode.
As Alan and I ride away, he says, "I expect to be involved with Tracy until I retire--or until I quit. But she has a much greater chance of living a full, adult life than her mother."
That seems overly hopeful to me, but I don't say anything. I'm not sure what we accomplished, other than riding around a block with a young, unlucky girl. Later, though, I get an e-mail from an excited Alan. "Our ride that day was HUGE," he writes. "I want Tracy to be the generation that breaks out of that passive way of living, someone who feels powerful and takes care of herself, physically and emotionally. I'm starting to talk more with this family about the benefits of exercise being more than just losing weight....Our ride started an important discussion about Tracy's independence."
"There Are People Who Will Never Wake Up"
Jack Trice is full of stories. "I'm riding the bike through an apple orchard," goes one of his favorites, "and stop by one of the apple trees. Apples are everywhere, on the trees and ground. A man is holding a pig in his arms, letting the pig eat apples off the tree. I say to him, 'You'll save a lot of time if you put the pig on the ground and let him eat those apples.' He turns and looks at me and says, 'Mister, time don't mean nothing to a pig!'"
Some of Jack's stories are even true. "I counted it up once," he says, "and I've almost been killed 17 times." He's 67 now, so that works out to roughly once every four years. He's had a few close calls on motorcycles, a couple of near drownings and, once, when he was coming home from Antarctica, an overloaded Air Force transport plane he was on almost ran out of runway.
A trim, athletic-looking Texas transplant, Trice wasn't interested in losing weight, or in becoming a cyclist. His last bike disappeared from his driveway 20 years ago, and he didn't notice it was gone for nine months. To him, a free Trek sounded like just one more way to enjoy living. He pedals to the barbershop, to his doctor appointments, to visit his friends and go out to lunch. We're supposed to be heading for his favorite Chinese buffet, but we've already detoured through Portland's Evergreen Cemetery, a wooded oasis where Jack paused at a set of Civil War headstones then, improbably, dropped into a gnarly, rooty singletrack that snakes through the woods behind the graveyard.

Professional Interests:
Dr. Sanchez's laboratory studies the pathways that protect genomic integrity and in particular the study of the Chk1 protein, a target of inhibitors currently in clinical trials for cancer. Her laboratory uses different model systems (yeast, insect and mammalian cells) to reconstitute spatial temporal signaling from stalled replication forks and DNA damage in order to dissect the mechanism by which mitosis is regulated by localized activation of enzyme complexes following DNA damage and to dissect the signal transduction pathways originating at a stalled replication fork, which orchestrate the DNA damage and S phase checkpoints.
DNA damage has been found to be an early event in pre-malignant lesions and can be caused by deregulation of cancer driving genes called oncogenes. This finding led the Sanchez laboratory to investigate the role that checkpoint pathways play in the early stages of cancer development. Dr. Sanchez's laboratory uses mouse models to study the role that Chk1 plays in the early stages of cancer development.
Dr. Sanchez laboratory also works on building genetic platforms for the identification of drugs and drug targets for the treatment of cancer.
Rotations and Thesis Projects:
1. The role of checkpoints in embryonic development
2. Optimization of model organisms for high-throughput drug discovery
3. The interplay of Oncogenes and Checkpoints during the early stages of cancer development.
4. Regulation of mitosis by localized activation of enzyme complexes.
5. Dissection of signal transduction pathways originating at a stalled replication fork.

Bare bricks and long, narrow corridors deep beneath the earth
For over 70 years, these underground tunnels and rooms in Tiong Bahru, Singapore have lain forgotten. While the apartment blocks above them bustle with life and activity, the only visitors to these subterranean passageways over the decades have been workers from the local council, who used the space to store waste disposal equipment.
Who could have imagined that beneath their feet was a 16,145 square foot (1,500 square meter) reminder of a time when air raid sirens blared and buildings were razed to the ground, while 100 people huddled together for safety below the surface?

Turnabout is fair play
Oct 10, 2013
By Robert Husseman
Of the News-Register
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
After Willamina held Class 3A West Valley League rival Sheridan to 11 yards in the first quarter and came up with two turnovers in the second, the Spartans dominated the third and fourth quarters in a 22-6 victory over the Bulldogs Thursday night at Glen Larkin Field in Willamina.
Sheridan (2-4 overall, 2-2 West Valley) allowed Willamina (1-5, 0-3 West Valley) 64 yards of offense in the second half while scoring all 22 points in the final 24 minutes. Spartans senior running back Justin Acuff scored touchdowns of 4 and 6 yards en route to a 78-yard day on the ground.
Sheridan wide receiver Boone Meyer put the exclamation point on the rivalry win with a 68-yard fly sweep for a touchdown.
"We started having big miscues," Bulldogs coach Tim France said. "Not everybody was firing on all cylinders like they were in the first half."
Willamina senior Coty Brown led the Bulldogs in rushing with 45 yards and a touchdown.
An interception, a lost fumble and two turnovers on downs hampered Willamina in the second half as the Spartans pressured the Bulldogs' young offensive line.
"Defensively, the second half, we locked up on a man and we sent our outside linebackers and we were able to contain them outside," Sheridan coach Brice Ingram said. "We went with four people going inside with one person staying in his flats. We were gambling, but sometimes we get lucky."

Banks 26, Yamhill-Carlton 0
Jacob Wood rushed for 109 yards on 24 carries and recorded nine tackles on defense, but Banks overwhelmed Yamhill-Carlton in Thursday night's Class 4A Cowapa League game in Yamhill.
Banks (7-0 overall, 4-0 Cowapa) held a 10-0 lead at halftime, bolstered by a 32-yard fumble return for a touchdown on a Tigers option pitch gone awry. The Braves scored 16 points in the third quarter to put the game out of Yamhill-Carlton's (2-5, 1-2 Cowapa) reach.

Although Pam Plummer grew up around hunters in her extended family, she seldom hunted, preferring instead to enjoy nature and the outdoors experience without a deer rifle in her hand. That all changed after a divorce a dozen or so years ago.
"After the divorce, my son, Casey, prodded me to get on with my life and find something fun and relaxing to do. He thought I should consider deer hunting, so I decided to give it a try. I'd go with him and he has always been supportive and a good teacher, showing me tips and hints to help me," Plummer said.Subscribe to Read!

January 12, 1999
To: ASSE Board of Directors
From: Timothy R. Fisher, CSP, ARM
This is an informational update for you on what is currently taking place with ASSE and the Society comment to OSHA on the draft ergonomic standard. It is requested that you circulate this information to your chapter members or other safety professionals who may have interest in this issue. The Governmental Affairs Committee (GAC) is currently working on a draft comment to OSHA which will follow-up on the statement and alternative proposal we submitted to OSHA during 6/99. When the follow-up comment is approved, it will go out to all of the chapters and be placed on the website.
Our review of the draft standard indicates that even though significant changes have been made, the philosophy, contents, and intent are, for the most part, still consistent with the original OSHA working draft. The ASSE 6/99 comments are still more than relevant to the revised draft. These comments are located on the ASSE website (http://www.asse.org) in the governmental affairs section in the folder titled: "ASSE Statements, Testimony, and Correspondence". Our suggestion is that if you are preparing comments for your associates, clients, employer, or yourself, you may wish to use these materials as guidance when preparing such a statement. The comments are:
***ASSE 6/99 Correspondence on the OSHA Working Draft
On 12/17/99 ASSE sent a formal letter OSHA requesting that the comment period for the draft OSHA Ergonomics Program Standard be extended until 4/3/2000. The position of ASSE is that due to the significant size of the draft standard, member interest, and the need to conduct a more detailed analysis, a comment due date of 2/1/2000 is too short. The Society pointed out that an additional sixty (60) days should be adequate enough time for ASSE and other stakeholders to complete a review and prepare comments. While we have not yet received a formal response to our request, we have been told informally there will not be any extensions to the comment period.
Also, attached to this notice is the information off of the OSHA website addressing the upcoming hearings. ASSE will testify as a national organization in Chicago during the final phase of the public hearings. Society leadership chose Chicago for a variety of reasons, and our hope is that the statement will receive attention from OSHA, the ASSE membership, the general public, and the press.
Of importance is that if you, your associates, clients, or employer intends to testify the final date to file a notice to appear is 1/24/2000. It is important that you realize that there is a difference between filing comments and making a presentation at the hearing. Written comments can be filed up to 2/1/2000, but if you intend to testify you must file an intent to appear by 1/24/2000.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and if you should have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact the Society.
Regards - Tim Fisher at ASSE… (OSHA Information Follows Below)
Public Participation -- Notice of Hearing
Key Dates:
A. Written Comments
Written submissions must clearly identify:
Mail: Comments must be submitted in duplicate to:
Facsimile: Comments limited to 10 pages or less may be transmitted by facsimile to (202)-693-1648 by February 1, 2000.

Please note that you may not attach materials such as studies or journal articles. If you wish to include such materials, you must submit them separately in duplicate to the OSHA Docket Office at the address above. When submitting such materials to the OSHA Docket Office, you must clearly identify your electronic comments by name, date, and subject, so that we can attach them to your electronic comments.
All written comments, along with supporting data and references, received within the specified comment period will be made a part of the record and will be available for public inspection and copying at the above Docket Office address. All timely written submissions will be made a part of the record of the proceeding.
B. Notice of Informal Public Hearing
Regional hearings will also be held March 21-31, 2000, in Portland, OR, and April 11-21, 2000, in Chicago, IL. Actual times and addresses for the location of the regional hearings will be announced in a later Federal Register notice.

The name, address, and telephone number of each person to appear;
Mail: The notice of intention to appear may be sent to:
Facsimile: A notice of intention to appear also may be transmitted by facsimile to (202) 693-1634, by January 24, 2000.
Electronic: A notice of intention to appear may be submitted electronically through the OSHA Homepage at www.osha.gov by January 24, 2000. Notices of intention to appear will be available for inspection and copying at the OSHA Docket Office at the address above.
D. Filing of Hearing Testimony and Documentary Evidence Before the Hearing
Each submission will be reviewed in light of the amount of time requested in the notice of intention to appear. In instances where the information contained in the submission does not justify the amount of time requested, a more appropriate amount of time will be allocated and the participant will be notified of that fact prior to the informal hearing.
Any party who has not substantially complied with this requirement may be limited to a 10-minute presentation, and may be requested to return for questioning at a later time. Any party who has not filed a Notice of Intention to Appear may be allowed to testify, as time permits, at the discretion of the Administrative Law Judge.
OSHA emphasizes that the hearing is open to the public, and that interested persons are welcome to attend. However, only persons who have filed proper Notices of Intention to Appear at the hearings will be entitled to ask questions and otherwise participate fully in the proceedings.
E. Conduct and Nature of the Hearings
The nature of an informal rulemaking hearing is established in the legislative history of section 6 of the OSH Act and is reflected by OSHA's rules of procedure for hearings (29 CFR 1911.15(a)). Although the presiding officer is an Administrative Law Judge and questioning by interested persons is allowed on crucial issues, the proceeding is informal and legislative in type. The Agency's intent, in essence, is to provide interested persons with an opportunity to make effective oral presentations that can be carried out expeditiously in the absence of procedural restraints or rigid procedures that might unduly impede or protract the rulemaking process.
Additionally, since the hearing is primarily for information gathering and clarification, it is an informal administrative proceeding rather than an adjudicative one; the technical rules of evidence, for example, do not apply. The regulations that govern hearings and the pre-hearing guidelines to be issued for this hearing will ensure fairness and due process and also facilitate the development of a clear, accurate and complete record. Those rules and guidelines will be interpreted in a manner that furthers that development. Thus, questions of relevance, procedure and participation generally will be decided so as to favor development of the record.
The hearing will be conducted in accordance with 29 CFR Part 1911. It should be noted that §1911.4 specifies that the Assistant Secretary may upon reasonable notice issue alternative procedures to expedite proceedings or for other good cause. The hearing will be presided over by an Administrative Law Judge who makes no decision or recommendation on the merits of OSHA's proposal. The responsibility of the Administrative Law Judge is to ensure that the hearing proceeds at a reasonable pace and in an orderly manner. The Administrative Law Judge, therefore, will have all the powers necessary and appropriate to conduct a full and fair informal hearing as provided in 29 CFR Part 1911, including the powers:
To regulate the course of the proceedings;
In the Judge's discretion, to keep the record open for a reasonable, stated time (known as the post-hearing comment period) to receive written information and additional data, views and arguments from any person who has participated in the oral proceedings.
OSHA recognizes that there may be interested persons or organizations who, through their knowledge of the subject matter or their experience in the field, would wish to endorse or support the whole proposal or certain provisions of the proposal. OSHA welcomes such supportive comments, including any pertinent data and cost information which may be available, in order that the record of this rulemaking will present a balanced picture of public response on the issues involved.
At the close of the hearings, the Administrative Law Judge will set a post-hearing comment period for those persons participating in the hearings. The first part of that period will be for the submission of additional data and information to OSHA. The second part will be for the submission of briefs, arguments and summations. Only those persons who have submitted a proper Notice of Intention to Appear at the hearings will be entitled to participate in the posthearing comment period.
F. Certification of Record and Final Determination After the Informal
Public Hearings
The proposed standard will be reviewed in light of all oral and written
submissions received as part of the record, and a permanent Ergonomics
Program Standard will be issued, based upon the entire record in the proceeding,
including the written comments and data received from the public.

S. 744 - Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act
July 02, 2013
This document briefly highlights the provisions of the Senate immigration reform bill, introduced on April 17, 2013, after it passed the Senate on June 27, 2013. (Updated July 2, 2013)
What Does Smart and Effective Border Security Look Like?
March 01, 2013
While spending on border security has risen to record heights, this paper highlights four areas that continue to need attention: (1) adequate border agent training; (2) adequate resources and infrastructure at U.S. land ports of entry; (3) sufficient oversight mechanisms and procedures to hold agents accountable for misconduct; and (4) effective use of border technology.
Immigration Enforcement Today: 2007 Reform Goals Largely Accomplished
February 01, 2013
At the onset of a new debate on broad immigration reform, this paper examines the progress made toward border security and immigration enforcement benchmarks set in 2007 immigration reform legislation. As this paper explains, the benchmarks set in that legislation have largely been met. New legislation that sets up a similar sequenced structure of enforcement plus reform will have to acknowledge the progress that has already been made.
The "Border Bubble": A Look at Spending on U.S. Borders
November 14, 2012
Despite a sharp decline in the number of persons attempting to cross the border illegally in the last several years, the government continues to increase resources deployed to the border. This paper briefly discusses the technology, infrastructure, and personnel deployed on the border. It also raises cost concerns about some of the technology and programs that have been tried, often unsuccessfully.
Misbehavior at the Border: Are Those Who Control Immigration Out of Control Themselves?
November 01, 2012
This paper looks at corruption and misconduct documented within the Border Patrol and its parent agency, Customs and Border Protection. With rapid growth, high turnover and a high new agent to experienced agent ration, there are questions about the adequacy of training and supervision. Another problem stems from the fact that the Inspector General's office, which investigates many complaints against CBP agents, has not been properly resourced to keep pace with its workload.
Summaries of Recent Immigration Enforcement Reports
October 18, 2012
This document summarizes a number of reports that have been issued 2008 - 2012 by non-profit and governmental watchdog organizations documenting problems with various immigration enforcement programs.
Analyzing Border Enforcement Operations: Interior Repatriation Programs
September 22, 2012
This paper examines the Mexican Interior Repatriation Program (MIRP), which brings certain Mexican immigrants being removed from the United States into the interior of Mexico, rather than depositing them in the border region. It also briefly examines other repatriation and enforcement operations in effect along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Operation Streamline: Unproven Benefits Outweighed by Cost to Taxpayers
September 12, 2012
This paper examines Operation Streamline, an immigration enforcement program along the Southwest border in which persons caught crossing the border illegally are prosecuted criminally rather than through the immigration courts. The paper details the enormous cost of running this program, and its impact on the criminal justice system's ability to prosecute more serious crimes. For all its costs and impact on the criminal justice system, the program has never been evaluated for...

It's really hard to lose weight! It's been a constant battle for me my whole life. I've tried cutting calories, I've tried cutting certain foods out of my diet, I've tried exercising, but none of those really worked for me, with my schedule and my family and kids.
You know, you're looking for something that's going to work, and so many diets don't, but SENSA® really does. It was really amazing for me. I didn't have to make any dramatic life changes.
With SENSA®, I'm still eating the foods I enjoy and the weight comes off. I can still eat what my family is eating. You just sprinkle SENSA® on your food, and it suppresses your appetite. You can still eat the foods you love, you just don't eat as much of it, so the weight comes off.
I lost 50 pounds and went from a size 19 to a 9/10!
I have so much more self-confidence now and I feel better about myself. Every time I see my family, they tell me how great I look and how amazing it is.
I enjoy going to the beach now, and shopping for a bathing suit is fun! I don't have to hide. I feel more relaxed and so much more at ease in my skin now. I can wear these cute clothes that I never thought I could possibly wear…and they fit and they look great on me! I can go out with my husband and feel proud, and have confidence, and talk to people. I was so much more shy before. It's amazing. It's been a complete 180 for me.

Ethan Allen shows consumer pulse
Never mind the sentiment surveys. The maker of custom furniture is a better barometer of consumer confidence.
By Jim Cramer, TheStreet
Do we feel more confident? Do we feel confident enough to buy something expensive rather than go to Ikea? Maybe go to Ethan Allen (ETH) instead and get our own furniture, designed by us, rather than something from the showroom?
To gauge consumer sentiment -- something incredibly important because the consumer represents about 70% of our economy -- I have always used Best Buy (BBY), Tiffany (TIF), Nordstrom (JWN) and Coach (COH). You don't go to any of those if you are feeling down in the dumps.
But after speaking to Farooq Kathwari, the long-time CEO of Ethan Allen, I am wondering if traffic and purchases from his high-end furniture company aren't a better gauge. And if I am right, then we are feeling better, doing better, and much of the credit has to go to the stock market.
In my on- and off-camera discussions with Kathwari, it became abundantly clear that things have improved as the stock market has improved. There aren't really many other variables.
Job growth? Hmmm. Wages? Stagnant. Home wealth? You read what I read, although the notion that houses keep going down in value nationwide is the work of dogmatic journalists leaning on a couple of outfits that seem to be Meredith Whitney-like in their endless negativity.
When the Dow goes up, traffic at Ethan Allen goes up.
As you can tell from Matt Fassler's excellent piece of Goldman Sachs research upgrading ETH to "hold" from "sell," the numbers are too low. That's very significant. An expensive nationwide furniture chain with numbers that are too low.
Just to refresh, the number of furniture makers and retailers that have gone belly up in the past 25 years is staggering. ETH is the exception. Nevertheless, if the numbers were going the other way, we would be worried. Instead they are advancing by about 30%.
I think the power of the stock market over peoples' minds is very strong. It is something that has kept them from being bullish about their own prospects for two years. Now the actual asset class is tarnished from the shenanigans and blowups. However, the rally in stocks is a virtuous circle, one that can affect all sorts of other decisions.
Watch ETH. It is a perfect gauge of the interaction between the asset class and spending, particularly because the price points for custom-made furniture are so high.
It tells you things aren't so bad, a better indicator than the amorphous ones that bearish commentators trot out endlessly to tell you that things are getting worse, not better.
