Births by Day of the Year
I've prepared this page as a response to the End of year effect? blog entry in Kaiser's Junk Charts blog.
Kaiser cites a December 20, 2006, New York Time article, To-Do List: Wrap Gifts. Have Baby. which claims that parents routinely schedule induced or caesarian births just prior to the first of the year, to gain a tax deduction for an additional dependent child for the entire year. The article includes a very uninformed graphic (shown at right) that shows births for the narrow period from 23 December 2002 to 10 January 2003, which supposedly backs up the claim. However, if you take averages of the plotted numbers, the January numbers are greater than the December numbers.
The chart suffers from a number of problems. The greatest problem is that the chart only shows 19 days of data, not enough to account for the day-of-the-week variations which become obvious when looking at a whole year's racords. In addition, it has special colors for Mondays and Fridays, without indicating what makes these days of the week special.
I went to the web site of the National Center for Health Statistics (part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) to find this data and correct the shortcomings of the chart. I could not find the specific years that were plotted in the Times article, but I found complete year data for 1994 through 2001.
I constructed a panel chart below, showing data for the period from 1 November of one year through 31 January of the following year. The actual data are shown with blue lines and labels with the initial of the day of the week(S-M-T-W-T-F-S). The red lines show the average by day of the week for the three month period, not including the Monday-through-Saturday period around Thanksgiving and not including the period from 21 December through 4 January. The day-of-the-week labels for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day are highlighted with a red-outlined, yellow-filled square. The panels range from 1994-1995 at the bottom to 2000-2001 at the top.
An obvious pattern for births by day of the week is seen: Weekend births (around 8000 per day) are significantly lower than weekday births (about 11,000 to 12,000 per day). This is due to scheduled births (both induced normal births and non-emergency caesarian births) taking place during the week, not on weekends. This daily pattern is consistent for most weeks of each three month period in this chart.
When a more complete record of the data is viewed, the assertion of the New York Times article can be examined more closely. It is obvious that births on 1 January are markedly lower than would be expected for the day of the week. Births on 25 December (Christmas Day) are also lower than expected for the day of the week, by an even greater amount than the New Year's Day variation. In fact, the day of the year with lowest number of births is Christmas Day. Thanksgiving also shows a pronounced decrease in births compared to typical Thursdays, and perhaps more of an effect than New Year's. The day of the year with the greatest number of births is either the Tuesday before Thanksgiving (as in 2000), the Tuesday before Christmas (1999), or the Tuesday before New Year's (1998).
It is evident that more births are induced just before these three holidays, so the patients and doctors are not tied up during the holidays. I plotted data for the entire year 2000 to see whether this was true for other holidays during the year. The blue line shows the actual data, while the red line shows the value for each day of the week averaged over the whole year. Sure enough, while the general weekend-weekday pattern held for most weeks of the year, the chart below shows that Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day also had declines in number of births compared to the expected number for the day of the week. These declines were significant but not as pronounced as those on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
Because the New Year's dip in births is not as pronounced as those at Christmas and Thanksgiving, I surmise that the holiday effect of induced births is due more for the convenience of patients and doctors than simply for the tax deduction.

when we were beginning the journey of making this record we wanted to find some inspirational images. we came across the punk and monk image on the Internet and it really solidified what we were trying to get across on the record- the idea of old and new clashing. tradition and change coming together. there was something striking about it. obviously this is an image that means a lot to many people- we felt like we wanted to be part of this conversation. these kids represent the youth, change and irreverence that we hope our record is listened to with. at the end of the day we just want to take the rules and start all over with save rock and roll anyway.

New Thrifting video is up with a haul! :D
we hope this dude found a date last night
Uh, I'd go with some random guy - even if it meant being raped. I'd take the rape if it meant seeing Fall Out Boy. Just be like, "Hey, if you're gonna rape me, that's cool. I just ask you to do it after the show."
I'd die at the show. So…there'd be no rape….

I'm actually enjoying seeing all the people on Facebook complain about not getting tickets and demanding they upgrade the venue. No, they've decided to play in a small venue for a reason.
I did see someone who likes Don Broco get a ticket though and that's just not on. If your music taste is that bad that you like Don Broco you shouldn't be allowed a ticket.
I saw someone had tickets …but was going to see One Direction around the same time. AGE. GAP.
23rd February - One Direction at O2 Arena
24th February - Harry Potter Studio Tour
25th February - Fall Out Boy at Camden Underworld
26th February - The Big Reunion w/5ive, B*Witched, Atomic Kitten, 911, The Honeyz and Liberty X at Hammersmith Apollo
I'm so cool it hurts.
I can't believe this person is seeing One Direction…and then Fall Out Boy. WTF?

For thousands of years silver has been part of human civilization around the world. Not only used as jewelry, but kitchenware, weaponry, money and furnishings. Over the centuries, silver has been adapted and changed to suit many different purposes, as well as denoting its regional origins.
Because of these variations, silver grading is essential to identify the various standards that have been in use over the years. As with other precious metals such as gold and platinum, the quality of silver alloy is measured in millesimal fineness. This indicates the percentage of purity in the metal; for example, sterling silver has a millesimal fineness of 925, because it is 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining percentage made up of other metals and impurities.
Here's a list of some of the various grades of silver, with a little bit of background:
- 999.9 silver: the purest silver bullion, and used to make the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf – a silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint every February.
- 999 silver: used in silver bullion, this is the closest pure silver available on the open market. Originally used in commerce, 999 silver bullion is now more frequently purchased by collectors or acquired for industrial uses.
- 980 silver: Back in the 1930′s and 40′s, Mexico experienced something of a boom thanks to the discovery of a rich vein of silver. This silver had only the most minimal impurities, creating the beginnings of a thriving jewelry industry for the country.
- 958 silver: Also known as Britannia silver, 958 silver was introduced by William III in 1697. Designed as a replacement for 925 Sterling silver, it was far more malleable, making Britannia silver easier to work with. Sterling silver began to re-emerge in the early 1700′s, diminishing Britannia silvers use considerably.
- 950 silver – 950 silver also goes by the name French 1st Standard. Its purity means that it is still rather too soft for many other purposes than jewelry making and will tarnish easier than Sterling silver.
- 925 silver – Still a little too soft for industrial and functional use, 925 Sterling silver is often alloyed with copper, although other metals can be used to improve lustre. Primarily used to make 925 silver jewellery, this alloy is perfect for creating stunning pieces of incredible intricacy.
- 900 silver – While the hallmark for 900 silver is a European standard, it is also known as Coin silver in the US. With a higher level of impurity, this silver is ideal for use in jewelry and coinage, although in North America, the latter used much less silver after the mid-60s.
There are more grades, including 875, 830 and 800 silver. Each of these silver grades have a higher level of impurity, improving the hardness and functionality of the metal. While they have their purposes, it is the fineness of silver that attracts us. There's an elegance and tastefulness to the look of silver, especially when used to create stunning jewelry.
Parriss Jewellers brings a range of stunning silver and gold jewelry, featuring precious stones and gems for men, women and children.

Very disappointed. Sometimes it works, some times it does not. Has to remove batteries, put them back and here we go until the appliance will stop again. Does not seem to like high intensity, as it will most likely stop working when reaching 25.The wands should be flexible (a slight bend in the middle) because both pads do not necessarily touch the skin at the same time.Poor design (needs to adapt to different shape of faces). Headset has issues as well. Unfortunately too late for me to return it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

does not turn on -defective
By Bill
from Oshawa
Batter cover does not go in easily...takes 10 to 15 minutes...without batteries goes in easily...with batteries, a poor fit and very frustrating.Once I got batteries in and finally got cover onit would not work at all....clearly defective, as I followed all instructions correctly, including locking cover in place and batteries polarity.I returned it and will try an exchange to see if it will turn on so I can try it. But so far poor marks for defective unit, and not good manufacturing tolerance on battery cover.

Read reviews BEFORE purchasing...
By Christineeo
from Surrey, British Columbia
I learned a lesson here...read reviews before purchansing. If I had done that I wouldn't have purchased it in the first place.It does stimulate your facial muscules but as others have reported it is very short lived. It's also difficult to apply the conductive gel on the pads when using the headset. I am returning it but will continue to shop with the Shopping Channel since I really appreciate that you can try items first & return them if they don't meet your requirements.
Like this product.
By Glo
from PG..BC
What an experience; but of course I was skeptical at first. After viewing the before and after photos, I had to give it a try. I'm in my late 60s and feel if I get anything positive whether it's the facelift or muscle stimuli out of this product, I'm happy. Also, knowing and realizing not all products work for everyone's facial muscles and nerves. I found my right side muscle required more encouragement to move compared to my left side has, both pads were not complete aligned with each other but the same muscles worked. I experienced an eye brow lift on my first try in only 8 minutes; but I didn't like having to hold the wand that long since it would move slightly after getting tired of holding it. I feel if the pads would have a slight bend to them it would have stayed better since no one's forehead is straight.Second suggestion was the headset. The sides pads were easy to adjust but the top of the headset should be adjustable or more flexible for smaller heads. I found anytime I had to bend down the headset would move forward and fall off which was very annoying. Also, a small clip holding the wires in place would help from the wires catching onto anything while moving since who has time to sit and relax. I was doing chores and having a facial at the same time which is great!!! This product has great potential with a few small minor adjustments needed. I can see and feel a difference and it makes me feel and look better. A facelift or even a facial would be very expensive beyond the price I paid for this product; but for both comparisons I'll take the Ageless Wonder for the convenience also price and if it makes me feel good, then I'll look good as well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Doesn't work for me!
By RITA
from RICHMOND HILL
I took a picture of my face before and after use there was absolutely no difference. Faithfully for 2 weeks at least 3 hours a day with wand and with headband I worked my whole face. I expected at least a slight improvement I was hoping to lift my eye lid and jowls a little...no nothing nadda... as one other reviewer said it lifts for a minute and then goes right back to where it was. I'm sending it back.

Don't recommend this product
By Donner

I watched the demo on TSC and thought wow this is what I need. I purchased the product and faithfully tried it for three days and did not notice any difference.
Very Happy customer!
By Lari
I am so glad that Ageless Wonder is back with an even better product than the original. I purchased the original but had to return it as the headset broke. I was very pleased to see that they now have an adjustable headset so I immediately purchased it again. I have only been using it about 2 weeks but I am seeing a lift to the lower part of my jaw line, which is my area of concern. I am looking forward to seeing my results after the 10 week recommended usage.

By Carol
from montreal, qc
please those consider buying, read the product overview. Activates nerves, muscle contractions, electrical impulses? Exactly... that is all this product does. Simply put, it shocks the muscles under the skin & makes u think you are actually getting results. What u are getting is a quick impulse/shock to the skin then in a short amount of time the skin will go right back to the way it was before. Very temporary results. Get strung by a bee & u will have the same results.

Maud Menten
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2012)
Maud Leonora Menten[pronunciation?] (March 20, 1879 – July 26, 1960) was a Canadian physician-scientist who made significant contributions to enzyme kinetics and histochemistry. Her name is associated with the famous Michaelis–Menten equation in biochemistry.
Maud Menten was born in Port Lambton, Ontario and studied medicine at the University of Toronto (B.A. 1904, M.B. 1907, M.D. 1911). She was among the first women in Canada to earn a medical doctorate. She completed her thesis work at University of Chicago. At that time women were not allowed to do research in Canada, so she decided to do research in other countries such as the United States and Germany.
In 1912 she moved to Berlin where she worked with Leonor Michaelis and co-authored their paper in Biochemische Zeitschrift (1913;49:333–369) which showed that the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is proportional to the amount of the enzyme-substrate complex. This relationship between reaction rate and enzyme-substrate concentration is known as the Michaelis-Menten equation. After studying with Michaelis in Germany she entered graduate school at the University of Chicago where she obtained her PhD in 1916. Her dissertation was titled "The Alkalinity of the Blood in Malignancy and Other Pathological Conditions; Together with Observations on the Relation of the Alkalinity of the Blood to Barometric Pressure". Menten worked as a pathologist at the University of Pittsburgh (1923–1950)[1] and as a research fellow at the British Columbia Medical Research Institute (1951–1953).[2]
Early life[edit]
Little is known about her parents and childhood other than that the Menten family moved to Harrison Mills, where Maud's mother worked as a postmistress. After completing secondary school, Menten attended the University of Toronto where she earned a bachelor of arts degree in 1904 and a master's degree in physiology in 1907. While earning her graduate degree, she worked as a demonstrator in the university's physiology lab.
A talented student, Menten was appointed a fellow at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City in 1907. There, she studied the effect of radium bromide on cancerous tumors in rats. Menten and two other scientists published the results of their experiment, producing the institute's first monograph. After a year at the Institute, Menten worked as an intern at the New York Infirmary for Women and Children. She returned to Canada and began studies at the University of Toronto a year later. In 1911 she became one of the first Canadian women to receive a doctor of medicine degree.
Her most famous work was on enzyme kinetics together with Michaelis, based on earlier findings of Victor Henri. This resulted in the Michaelis–Menten equations. Menten also invented the azo-dye coupling reaction for alkaline phosphatase, which is still used in histochemistry. She characterised bacterial toxins from B. paratyphosus, Streptococcus scarlatina and Salmonella ssp. and conducted the first electrophoretic separation of proteins in 1944. She worked on the properties of hemoglobin, regulation of blood sugar level, and kidney function. She wrote or co-wrote about 100 research papers.
Personal Life and Aside Work[edit]
Despite suffering from arthritis she was also an accomplished musician and painter;[3] there were several exhibitions of her paintings.
Skloot portrays Menten as a petite dynamo of a woman who wore "Paris hats, blue dresses with stained-glass hues, and Buster Brown shoes." She drove a Model T Ford through the University of Pittsburgh area for some 32 years and enjoyed many adventurous and artistic hobbies. She played the clarinet, painted paintings worthy of art exhibitions, climbed mountains, went on an Arctic expedition, and enjoyed astronomy. She also mastered several languages, including Russian, French, German, Italian, and at least one Native-American language. Although Menten did most of her research in the United States, she retained her Canadian citizenship throughout her life. After her retirement from the University of Pittsburgh in 1950, she returned to Canada where she continued to do cancer research at the British Columbia Medical Research Institute. Poor health forced Menten's retirement in 1955, and she died July 20, 1960, at the age of 81, in Leamington, Ontario.
Throughout her career Menten was affiliated with many scientific societies, and in 1998 she was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. She was also honored at the University of Toronto with a plaque and at the University of Pittsburgh with memorial lectures and a named chair.
At Menten's death, colleagues Aaron H. Stock and Anna-Mary Carpenter honored the Canadian biochemist in an obituary in Nature: "Menten was untiring in her efforts on behalf of sick children. She was an inspiring teacher who stimulated medical students, resident physicians and research associates to their best efforts. She will long be remembered by her associates for her keen mind, for a certain dignity of manner, for unobtrusive modesty, for her wit, and above all for her enthusiasm for research."

Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues in the body. Your anemia may need to be treated with an erythropoietin stimulating agent (ESA) medication called epoetin (Procrit®). This medication sends signals to the bone marrow to make more red blood cells.
During your appointment, the pharmacist will go through your medications, allergies and immunizations, check your blood pressure, and review your lab results. The pharmacist will determine the appropriate epoetin (Procrit®) dose and administer the medication. Most visits only take 20-30 minutes.
Your pharmacist will coordinate care with your physicians, treatment teams and clinics to to make sure that everyone is on the same page and to ensure you receive the highest quality anticoagulation and medication management.

Park City • Robert Redford had an idea for a big opening for the 2014 Sundance Film Festival's opening night.
Noting that this is the 30th year Sundance has been running the festival, the actor-director told the audience Thursday night at Park City's Eccles Theatre that he asked his team " 'How about we roll, a big cake out on the stage and I jump out of it?' "

"That got shot down pretty fast," Redford quipped wryly.
Instead, the festival audience gave Redford a surprise: A sustained standing ovation when Redford, without any introduction, took the Eccles podium.
The ovation was the Sundance audience's show of appreciation for Redford's performance in the one-man drama "All Is Lost" — a role for which Redford had been talked about for an Academy Award, but was snubbed when Oscar nominations were announced Thursday morning.
"I can't tell you how much that warm welcome means to me," Redford told the audience.
Redford then got a little nostalgic about the early years, when his nonprofit Sundance Institute took over operations of the U.S. Film Festival.
"I wasn't sure whether it was going to last," Redford said. "I said, 'Three years from now, we might not be here.' Now, 30 years later, here we are."
Nearly two hours later, the audience gave loud applause to the first movie on the Eccles screen: "Whiplash," an intense drama about a college drummer (Miles Teller) striving for greatness and butting heads with an abusive bandleader (J.K. Simmons).
Writer-director Damien Chazelle came to Sundance last year with a short film called "Whiplash," starring Simmons in the same role, and festival director John Cooper called it "the fastest turnaround from short to feature" Sundance has ever seen.
"Without Sundance, this movie wouldn't have happened in the first place," Chazelle said, adding that exposure of the short drew interest in making a feature-length version of the story.
Earlier in the day, in a press conference to open the festival, Redford led off by talking about the Oscar omission — and clarified to industry naysayers what the festival is and isn't.
"Would it have been wonderful to be nominated? Of course," Redford told reporters at the Egyptian Theatre. "But I'm not disturbed by it or upset because it's a business. I was so happy to be able to do this film because it was independent. So that's what's on my mind, the chance it gave me. I'm happy about it and I'll stay happy with it. The rest is not my business, it's someone else's."
Nominations for this year's Academy Awards were announced just a few hours before the news conference; Redford, who starred in "All Is Lost," was not on the list.
Redford also felt the need to address a recent article that suggested that Sundance wasn't what it could be. The article criticized the festival for its lack of support in the areas of film distribution and other financial matters.
"That's got nothing to do with who we are," Redford charged, adding it always has been the mission of the film festival to help new artists hone their craft and provide an opportunity for them to share their work.
After that, he said, "it's our hope [that they will get distribution] but it's not our business."
The annual festival, which brings a host of Hollywood actors, directors and producers — as well as musicians, athletes, media and even top chefs — to Utah, runs through Sunday, Jan. 26, in Park City and at venues in Salt Lake City, Ogden and the Sundance resort. Five premieres were set on the Day One slate in Park City.
The lineup is filled with 117 feature films from 37 countries. Of those, 54 films come from first-time directors.
The competition and Next films boast big names, including Oscar winners Anne Hathaway, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mary Steenburgen, while the documentaries cover a range of topics from Alzheimer's and obesity to gay marriage, dinosaurs and the Major League Baseball pitcher who threw a no-hitter while on LSD.
Redford was joined onstage by Kari Putnam, Sundance Institute executive director, and John Cooper, festival director. Tribune movie critic Sean P. Means was the moderator.Next Page >

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Five For Friday, Tuition, Books and Housing Included:
1. Put former Louisville coach Howard Schnellenberger on the list of guys that don't want Charlie Strong to become a former Louisville football coach, too. Orangebloods.com, a site devoted to Texas sports, posted a story Friday afternoon declaring Strong and Vanderbilt coach James Franklin as two of the finalists for the vacant UT football job.
Neither Strong nor U of L athletic director Tom Jurich returned text messages regarding the story.
"Heavens yes, of course, I hope he stays," said Schnellenberger. "I think he's terrific. He's won many big battles and can win many more."
Schnellenberger attended the Cards' victory over Miami in the Russell Athletic Bowl. He left Orlando convinced of one more thing: Teddy Bridgewater will have a successful career in the National Football League now that Bridgewater is bound for the 2014 Draft.
"He can make all the throws that a quarterback needs to make," Schnellenberger said. "He takes care of the football. He might need to put on a little weight, but as he matures in that league that won't be a problem."
2. There will be another game when Tim Henderson saves the University of Louisville basketball team the way he saved the Cardinals against Wichita State in the 2013 NCAA Final Four.
He'll make a three-point shot. He'll back-tip the ball away from somebody. He'll find Montrezl Harrell for a layup. Depend on that.
But when it happens this time, something will be different. Henderson will be a scholarship player with the Cards.
After 3-1/2 years of persistently positive contributions as a walk-on, Henderson was rewarded with a scholarship for his final semester with the program. Rick Pitino gave him the word Friday after the Cards' final practice for the game Louisville is favored to win by 17-1/2 at Rutgers Saturday.
"While we were watching film, (Pitino) just turned around and said, 'By the way, you're on scholarship,'" Henderson said. "Everybody kind of gave me a round of applause and we were all happy.
"It was a goal. I eventually wanted to get on scholarship … Might as well make that a goal. Don't just be OK with walking on."
Henderson has played 69 games during his U of L career. His career high? Depends upon how you define the term. He scored a dozen points against Western Kentucky three weeks ago, but those 12 points weren't even half as important as the six Henderson scored in 10 minutes against Wichita State in Atlanta last April.
3. Must-win for Indiana against Michigan State in Assembly Hall Saturday?
No. It's the first Saturday in January.
But it's around the corner from the Must-win Neighborhood.
The Hoosiers are 1-1/2-point home underdogs against the Spartans, the first time IU has not been favored at home since Dec. 31, 2011 against Ohio State.
IU (10-4) was bounced from Joe Lunardi's projected 2014 NCAA Tournament bracket on ESPN.com this week. Indiana lacks a victory against a Top 100 opponent this season, although the Hoosiers' strength of schedule benefited Thursday when Washington won at 11-3 Arizona State. IU beat the Huskies in Madison Square Garden by 18.
4. Chane Behanan has arrived in Houston, where he intends to undergo counseling with former NBA star John Lucas. Behanan, who was dismissed from the U of L team Monday for repeated violations of university policy, posted this message on his Twitter account:
"Just landed in Houston. #blessed."
Let's hope Lucas and his program can assist Behanan the way he has others and then help him fulfill his potential as a man and as a basketball player.
5. Remember former U of L reserve Angel Nunez? He's off to a solid start with his new team – Gonzaga.
Nunez has scored 27 points in three games, including 13 against St. Mary's Thursday. He also has 16 rebounds, although Nunez has yet to play more than 14 minutes in any game. Maybe Nunez, who is 6 feet 8, has improved his post-up game. He's made 10 free throws and only a single three-point shot. He left U of L a year ago with a reputation as strictly a perimeter guy.

GOLD MEDAL 93 points The Beverage Tasting Institute
GOLD MEDAL 2009 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
Silver Tree American Small Batch Vodka is the highest rated vodka distilled and bottled in America according to the Beverage Tasting Institute. The 2009 San Francisco Spirits Competition, the largest of its kind in North America, agreed, awarding Silver Tree a Gold Medal.
We distill Silver Tree seven times from a unique blend of potatoes, malted barley, and summer wheat to give our vodka a smooth finish. It is this blend which gives Silver Tree Vodka its subtle, rounded notes, giving it the character of a grain-based vodka and the silky finish of a potato vodka.

CUSTER, WI (WSAU) - Eight people were injured in a crash east of Stevens Point Sunday afternoon on Highway 10.
The crash happened at 3:16 p.m. when a full-sized SUV towing a camper trailer overturned in the median near Custer. There were eight occupants inside the SUV. An adult female and a juvenile were flown from the scene to Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield. The remaining occupants were taken to Saint Michael's Hospital in Stevens Point. Several emergency units including two medical helicopters were at the scene. Portage County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Jacob Wills says the driver lost control of the vehicle, over-corrected, and then flipped into the median of the highway. He says alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash.
Names of the victims have not been released, and their present medical condition is unknown.
Traffic was backed up for over three hours

Storms can alter the course of elections, and thus it was that the political world woke up to several big questions in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Has the monster maelstrom scattered the last of Mitt Romney's right-wing positions to the winds, leaving him completely free to finish his moderate makeover? And will Romney shortly be proposing a massive new Marshall Plan to rebuild the infrastructure in Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Iowa, and Colorado?


text: Duluth, MN (KDAL) - There are new regulations on the books for Duluth pet owners. Carrie Lane of the city's Animal Services says the changes were made to help offset costs. But she adds that the bigger goals are to create a safer community and lower costs by encouraging pet owners spay or neuter their animals. While the cost of a license has risen from eight-dollars to ten dollars, Lane says Animal Services will offer a one-time free ride home for licensed stray or lost pets. They're also offering a lifetime license. The city has also boosted the fee for those pets who aren't licensed and have not been spade or neutered to $350. It had been $35.

Editing PDFs with OpenOffice.org
Practical Hybrid Format
Although the name doesn't suggest it, the PDF Import extension also includes an export function that creates a really practical format. This unspectacular feature, which is tagged onto the normal PDF export dialog in OpenOffice (Figure 6), lets you create PDFs in a hybrid format. The document has a .pdf suffix and can be read in any normal PDF reader. In addition, it contains the original file in its native Open Document Format.
This allows OpenOffice or StarOffice users to open the original document for editing in the PDF Import extension. Instead of Draw, it opens the module used to create the file (e.g., Writer, Calc, or Impress). The hybrid document thus combines the benefits of both formats: The recipient can edit the file normally and, just to be on the safe side, is given a "proof copy" in PDF format, with fonts and graphics that show what the original author meant the document to look like.
PDF Import for OpenOffice.org demonstrates its potential despite its fairly early development stage. Already it is useful for minor corrections to PDFs, and the developers are working on improving the extension. It will be interesting to see the changes in the next release.
Despite all this, you should always remember that PDF is a display format that does not lend itself to editing. If you need to exchange editable documents, it makes far more sense to use a format like ODF or to create hybrid PDFs that give you the best of both worlds.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- A proposed new Kwik Trip on Bridge Street on Wausau's west side may not be happening just yet.
Wausau's plan commission has voted to not recommend a request to rezone some property on the corner of Bridge Street and Stevens Drive currently owned by St Anne Parish for the construction of a Kwik Trip store and car wash. That's on the corner just east of the US 39/Bridge Street interchange.
A number of residents spoke out against the plan, saying they don't want traffic and lights coming into the residential area 24 hours a day.
The commission voted against recommending the request 4 to 2. That will now go on to City Council which will have the final vote. If approved, this will be the ninth Kwik Trip in the metro area.

Coverage of both events and broader trends is presen...ted as part of major global movements, through the lives of the people who lived them, and as succinctly and vividly as possible. The author has made a substantial effort to restructure this fifth edition ofThe Human Venturewith emphasis on classroom use, student appeal, and clarifying the broad patterns of human history. New features include: Reorganization to a thirty-chapter format. New "Glance Ahead" chapter openers to introduce main themes early on. Many new "Voices from the Past" boxes to make some of these long-vanished people "come alive." New timelines in each section and a number of new maps and photos. [read more]

With American flags in hand the Trehey family and friends patiently waited at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport to welcome their veteran to Washington D.C.
Kevin Trehey was especially waiting for his dad, World War 2 veteran Harold Trehey.
"Kevin is an army person. He graduated from West Point so his dad was his support system, getting him going to West Point," said Beth Trehey, Kevin's wife.
Some time after graduating from West Point, Kevin was diagnosed with M.S. and now lives in the D.C. Area. It was a little challenging to get him to the airport to greet his dad.
"I just never thought this would work out honestly. He is very ill and just to get the two of them together is amazing," said Beth Trehey.
"I was hoping he would get here. Haven't seen him in a good many years," said Harold Trehey.
It's this reunion at the airport that these two veterans will never forget.

It's hard to believe Amish Tripathi when he says he never set out to be a writer. The banker-turned-author of the popular Shiva trilogy recently won a million-dollar advance for a new series – and he hasn't even finalized the topic yet.
Before his books took pride of place in shop windows, Tripathi was already living what some would call a charmed life. A management degree at one of India's top business schools had led to a successful career in private and retail banking. But it was his admiration for Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, that catapulted him to literary stardom in India.
When "The Immortals of Meluha" and "The Secret of the Nagas" topped bestseller lists, the 38-year-old quit his job to become a full-time writer. "The Oath of the Vayuputras," the third book in the mythological fantasy series, was launched in March.
Tripathi spoke to Reuters about his unexpected success, why he chose to write about Shiva, and what he plans to do next.
Edited excerpts from the interview:
Q: What led you to retelling myths? What was happening in Indian society or in the literary market that made you think the timing was right?
A: The question has an implicit hint that I kind of planned this … I never even wanted to be a writer, frankly. When I was young I was an academically oriented guy like most academically oriented guys. I graduated in science, did an MBA. My dreams as a young boy were I wanted to be an industrialist or I wanted to be a scientist. I never really wanted to be a writer. I know it sounds strange but I honestly believe that I didn't pick the story, the story has picked me. I've written absolutely no fiction before "The Immortals of Meluha". Not even a short story in school, absolutely nothing.

After a 7 minute single in "Lawman" at the start of the year, a 24 second follow-up in "The Cha Cha Cha", and then the critically accalimed, visceral hissy-fit of "De Bom Bom" ("could this be the best track ever?" - Tom Ravenscroft, BBC Radio 6) the Irish four piece today join us here at Domino Publising.

Avi Buffalo | 10/09/14
We are pleased to welcome new signing Avi Buffalo to the Domino family. Embarking upon a sophomore effort can be a daunting task for any young upstart, and there's no denying Avi Buffalo's own bar was set quite high with 2010's celebrated eponymous debut. Fear not, dear fans/family/friends/friends of friends/newcomers, there's nothing in this tale about The Second Album—a.k.a. At Best Cuckold, due September 8th in Europe and September 9th in North America on Sub Pop—that even remotely...
Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig and Amelia Randall Meath met at Bennington College, in the small town of Bennington, Vermont. They are from the West, Middle West and Eastern United States. Recorded in an old ice cream parlor from the turn of the 20th century, each track of Made the Harbor demands intimacy between the art and its listener. Each member of the group writes for the band.

3 weekend visits in a row!
Our first visit was about 40 mins prior to their close time, and there was no one in the restaurant and no one at the front desk.
We were beginning to think they were closing up shop already so we called out and a motherly woman came out to accommodate us.
She was very helpful in assisting us to choose dishes so we got:
Tea Leaf Salad -- This was an explosion of flavor and different textures. I didn't expect it to be so crunchy and there were varying notes of tanginess, sweetness, and bitterness. You really have to try it out to understand what's going on with this. xD It was refreshing though!
Mustard Greens Soup -- We originally wanted a Watercress soup but she didn't have anymore so not sure if this was a spin off or actual menu item. But it was delicious, reminiscent of the Chinese version, and a hearty portion. We sucked that bowl dry!
Yoma danpauk -- Another recommendation of hers, and this was AMAZING. We were presented with a large mound of colorful rice, and when we poked into it, we realized there was a tender and large chicken leg underneath. SO DELICIOUS. This was our favorite of the night. Rice was uber fluffy, (kind of like bismati rice) and there were raisins, cashews, and more tea leaves. Loved the mix of savory and slight sweetness notes. LOVE LOVE.
Freebie Fried Bean Appetizer -- Since it was our first time, she gave us a freebie appetizer of fried beans that look like flattened falafel things. Yummy!
Freebie Coconut Jelly Dessert -- She also gave a small plate of delicious coconut jelly :D So awesome!!
Our 2nd visit was during off hours again, at 3 PM for an uber late lunch.
We wanted to try all new things so with the aid of the owner again, we got:
Coconut Noodle Soup -- I really enjoyed the soup in this, since it was creamy, flavorful and had those important crunchies of fried onion bits and peanuts. The noodles themselves seemed placed in, so it didn't soak in the flavor. If you request this, ask them to remove the noodles.
Shan Noodle -- This was a saucy noodle dish in a bowl that needs to be well mixed to get the full flavor. It also came with a small bowl of peppery broth that was a bit too peppery for me. My BF loved this noodle dish, whereas I liked the soup in the Coconut Noodle Soup better. It's similar to the texture of Dan Dan mien if you enjoy that.
Beef Curry -- The beef chunks were super tender and the sauce was delish but kind of a small portion for the price. Maybe we got too many carbs in this visit xD We made quick work of all the meat chunks and was left with a lot of sauce that would've been sopped up with the rice if we didn't have so many noodles to finish.
She was very happy to see us again, and encouraged us to visit some more which we'll happily oblige!
My favorite is still the Yoma danpauk so far, but my BF loves the Shan Noodle :D Can't wait to come back and try some moooooooooore!!!!

Voices Question
View all Early Childhood Education questions
Early Childhood Education: Do you believe your legislators have made early childhood education a high priority?
Comments: 17
No, but they should. Early childhood is where a lot of students get the requisite skills to become good citizens and good students. In addition to academics, early childhood focuses on social/emotional skills that are necessary for students to grow into well-rounded individuals.
Jameelah Wright
No, we are underpaid and we wear many hats, but we do it for the children. We love our jobs and we love childern, whereas legislators focus on elections. The only time you will see legislators in the low-income areas is around campaign time. They need to come around in the housing development and get involved in the community.
candy Brunson
No! We are struggling to maintain a center that is continually bombarded with hits from the legislature. Our license fee just went from $150 to $7,800. Studies show that the first five years are the most important, and the legislature is trying to cut voter-protected funding to early eduction in our First Things First program. Our last govenor spent emergency funding and now this govenor is sweeping education funds to compensate. Why not use a Pell Grant system to send toddlers to preschool instead of waiting until college when the brain has already pruned vital synaptic connections?
Gwendolyn Sherwood
No,the biggest problem I see with ECE is there is no consistency when it comes to education. There are too many different standards in different states. Yes we have to deal with the demographics. However, there are many basic needs that all ECE programs have, which include all-day assistance(a paraprofessional) and a class ratio of 20:1. Also be realistic and stop expecting pre-K classrooms to administer state assessments and report cards every 6 weeks. Our students need time to grow. Mandating state assessments to 4- and 5-year-olds takes the love out of what we do...and we just want to teach.
Stacy Dixon
Yes. Unfortunately forty years of data relating to universal pre-k in Georgia and Oklahoma have taught us that these students do not improve their academic success. Many of the parents/guardian of student's attending Head Start or pre-k are at home. An out reach daily reading readiness program requiring attendance with a parent or guardian is the appropriate intervention and prevention program.
Melanie Lawson
What we need to do is to expose private corporate run childcare centers. It needs to start with that. They are involved for profit by seeing that there is a need in communities. They are less interested in the well-being of the child and in providing a living to their staff. We also need to do a better job of educating the public (start with your friends and family) about the professional work we do and that it does not equal the salary/hourly pay early childhood teachers and staff receive.
Mary Pikul
Despite evidence to the contrary, legislators continue to ignore the importance of early childhood education. With the demise of so many "intact" families, early education becomes even more important in providing the experiences that are absent in so many homes due to poverty or lack of parental oversight. Kids want to learn and they will soak up what's around them. We need these amazing "little sponges" in an educational environment that nurtures both experiential and social readiness. Early childhood education is the foundation that we need before we can "rebuild" a first class education system in this country!
Linda Ray
No! I do not believe legislators focus on much more than re-election. For example, in Connecticut, the legislature wants to include a "parent trigger" in an education bill that would allow parents to call for the closing of an under performing school simply by filing a petition. This is parent NEGATIVE involvement. Perhaps they should truly spend time in schools and find a method to encourage POSITIVE parent involvement. The latter would require more time and effort than politicians are willing to invest.
Richard Hamasian
I looked at the salary survey and I would be a little pleased if I made that amount now. I take home an estimation of $805 every 2 weeks. I make only a couple of dollars more than my highest paid teacher. I own a very small child care center and cannot afford to pay my staff what they are worth and maintain our school environment to the highest quality. The early years are the most important, so why are the teachers, providers and caregivers not compensated for the service we provide to human life?
debra Bright
Early childhood education never has been a priority for legislators. I hope this will change. I know too many ECE teachers who give more than 100% of themselves and can't make enough money to support their own children. What a shame!
Soma Preciado
In the past year children were placed into my classroom from situations where problems were identified and I knew nothing. Children who had past identification had all of this dropped. We ended up with screamers, truama, etc. on the first day of kindergarten. There was nothing in place for success of children with problems. Children are screened but, nothing is done in the beginning to help their teachers prepare for them. It is sad when the first months of school become a nightmare for students and teacher. It is easy to blame the teacher but, sometimes too much is expected of one person.
Lynn Morris
Much Moore can be done.
Deborrah Hines
No. Early chiildhood is the most important developmental phase of a child's life. So many of our children lack continuity in their lives to prepare them for the educational experience that we have to support them in different ways, and early education plays a pivotal part at the beginning.
Barbara McCall St John
need to do more for early childhood.
peggy cobbins
I don't think they value early childhood education as much as grammar or high school. Most people don't believe that preschool is necessary, however by the time most children get to kindergarten the teacher expects them to know basic information they would need to learn in preschool.
Rasheda Phinn
No! St. Paul has an initiative that was started in the business community. It has been amazingly incredible with an astronomical payback in terms of investment vs. benefits to the broader community. This program is reaching the end of its cycle but should be expanded all over the country!
Patricia Knoblauch
More and more regulations are making it harder for home childcare businesses. Requiring anyone who cares for > 2 children to get a state license and earn a CDA diploma is a high burden which drives many to simply operate without a license. Having so many businesses operating "under the radar" means that many children may be at risk because basic health and safety guidelines are not being followed. Other rules such as allowing someone to care for up to 12 children, but only 6 for pay pressures childcare providers to cheat and sets a low limit on income. Providers who offer high quality care are being burdened with more regulations.

Get this custom made game of your own kind of ms-pakman, mr-pakman, or "your-pakman" for only $15.00.
There are also some differences between Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man:
- The game has four different mazes that appear in different sets of colors.
- Three of the four mazes have two sets of warp tunnels, as opposed to only one in the original Pac-Man.
- Unlike the original Pac-Man, the spaces in between the walls are filled in, making it easier to see where the path is.
- The ghosts' behavior patterns are different and include semi-random movements, preventing the use of patterns to beat each level.
- Instead of appearing in the center of the maze, fruits bounce around the maze, entering and leaving through the warp tunnels. Once all fruits have been encountered, they appear in random sequence for the rest of the game.
- The orange ghost is named Sue, instead of Clyde.
- The three intermissions have changed to follow the developing relationship between Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man (from when they first meet to having a stork drop off their baby).
- The sound effects and music of the game are quite different from the Pac-Man sounds.

That is a rare occurrence for an awards ceremony that tends to recognize the same people over and over and over again.

Given the nature of politicians, grand claims of accomplishments and overblown rhetoric about historic efforts are to be expected at the close of any legislative session.
But I must say that some of the things we are hearing from the Republicans about the 2013 session of the Indiana General Assembly are staggering indeed.
The largest tax cuts in Indiana history!
More than $1 billion back to the people of Indiana!
A budget of opportunity!
I gather that we are supposed to take such bombast without any kind of further examination. The idea is that we should just sit back and watch those tax cuts roll into our pockets.
Except for one small thing...
If there is a living definition of a phantom tax cut, it is what was passed in the 2013 session. Something was approved, but I would challenge the idea that these cuts offer relief where it is needed the most: middle-class families across Indiana.
Let us examine some of these cuts:
Hoosiers will see their state income tax rate cut from 3.4 percent to 3.3 percent, effective Jan. 1, 2015. Not now, not next year, but the year after that.
Then they will have to wait another two years – Jan. 1, 2017, to be exact – before seeing it cut from 3.3 percent to 3.23 percent.
What will that cut mean for the average Hoosier, who makes about $50,000 a year?
In two years, it will mean about a buck a week. Two years after that, another buck a week in savings.
And that, for all the talk about these cuts, is what most Hoosiers are going to see from this legislative windfall.
Most of us will see nothing from the elimination of the inheritance tax, unless we have relatives die. Most of us don't own corporations and financial institutions, so we won't benefit from reductions in taxes affecting those areas.
If we are to be honest with you folks, we might as well also admit that the process of cutting some of these taxes – the inheritance tax, for example – began a few years back.
In 2012, we began the process of phasing out the inheritance tax over a nine-year period. That we decided to speed it up doesn't mean we already weren't heading down the road.
Nor should anyone be hoodwinked into thinking that cutting taxes is an exclusively Republican tradition. We've been doing it on a bipartisan basis for quite a while now. Thanks to information that's been put out by the Republicans themselves, here's a recap of the taxes that were cut when Democrats controlled the Indiana House:
1997: Property and income taxes
1999: Property taxes again
2002: Property taxes once again and the repeal of the corporate gross income tax
2004: Started phasing out the inventory tax
2007: Property taxes again
2008: The largest property tax cut
I would argue that any or all of these cuts were as substantial and will have a longer-lasting effect than anything passed this year.
I certainly would say that the cuts in property taxes have done a great deal more to help Hoosiers than anything that was done this year. You certainly were able to see more benefits sooner, and it put a lot more in your pocket than a buck a week.
There was a chance to do more this year, especially for the middle class. Indiana House Democrats proposed a plan that would have cut income taxes by 15 percent for Hoosiers making less than $25,000, 10 percent for people making between $25,000 and $50,000, 5 percent for Hoosiers making between $50,000 and $100,000, and 2.5 percent for people making between $100,000 and $200,000.
Again, it was relief aimed at the people who needed it the most. Our Republican colleagues chose not to agree with our plan.
Instead, they are bound to their billion-dollar tax cut.
They are welcome to it, especially in a couple of years when that extra dollar a week starts rolling in, and most Hoosiers start wondering where the largest tax cut in Indiana history went.
And that means the legacy of this legislative session will not be about the opportunities we provided but of the ones we missed.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The Detroit City Council will challenge the Governor's plan to appoint an Emergency Financial Manager, but the Mayor won't be with them.
The council will be restricted to arguing that the numbers that a state appointed Financial Review Team came up are wrong. The Team found that the city faces a 327-million dollar deficit and 14-billion in long term debt.
Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh says an appeal could lead to an expanded consent agreement which would be preferable to an EFM.
But Mayor Bing says he thinks they are wasting their time. He says he doesn't agree an EFM is needed either, but says it now looks inevitable.
