2014 Louisiana Hurricane Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday
Saturday, May 24 & Sunday, May 25
Louisiana Revised Statute 47:305.58 provides for an annual state sales tax holiday on sales of hurricane-preparedness items or
supplies made on the last Saturday and Sunday of each May. During the two-day annual holiday, tax-free purchases are authorized on
the first $1,500 of the sales price of each of the following items:
La. R.S. 47:301(10)(ee), and 301(18)(o), as enacted by Act 462 of the 2007 Regular Session, provide a permanent state sales and
use tax exclusion for storm shutter devices. La. R.S. 47:337.10(m) authorizes, but does not require, political subdivisions of the state
to provide a similar exclusion from their sales and use taxes. Accordingly, the state sales tax exemption on storm shutter devices is not
limited to the two days of the sales tax holiday. The term "storm shutter device" is defined for purposes of both the holiday and
the permanent exclusion as materials and products manufactured, rated, and marketed specifically for the purposes of preventing window damage
from storms.
Conditions for Exemption
The following activities will be eligible during the two days of each annual holiday for the sales tax exemption:
Special Provisions
The Act provides that:
The sales tax holiday does not extend to hurricane-preparedness items or supplies purchased at any airport, public lodging establishment or hotel,
convenience store, or entertainment complex. Since these terms are not defined by La. R.S. 47:305.58 the department has published a rule, LAC 61:I.4423,
to define the terms.
The 2014 sales tax holiday will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, May 24 and conclude at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 25.
Return Filing Procedures
Retailers should report exempt sales on Line 24 of the Sales Tax Return (R-1029).

"Candide ... said to himself, 'If this is the best of all possible worlds, what are the others?'" Monday night was the first time I got to see our production of Candide. I spent the weekend working in the supertext booth, where, because there are four follow-spot operators for the show, I'm relegated to a seat with a window measuring roughly 5" x 5". Since I don't really need to see in order to run the supertext, I didn't bother to adjust my chair to window height (tall), and spent three nights just listening to the show, which I found increasingly hilarious.I've never seen Candide before, although I played the concert version of the overture at least twice in college. (And what a piece of music! Talk about an overture that demands a listener's attention). Nevertheless, Candide is a piece that feels naturally familiar -- one of those that you know even without knowing it. It's so very Bernstein, and so very American. It's beautiful, and charming, and fun. And what a refreshing change of pace from Very Serious Opera!
© Jason Potter
Anyway: back to Monday night. As we have done in the past (Barber of Seville, Rigoletto), we invited several local comic artists to Monday night's dress rehearsal, where they got a backstage tour and then were encouraged to draw whatever inspired them from their seats in the first few rows of the orchestra section. This year, for the first time, we also invited several prolific local Twitter users to come and live-tweet the opera. What a hoot! I also use Twitter, so I took the opportunity to join in on the fun; it was so interesting and hilarious to read other peoples' reactions to the show in real time. (And also strange and a little thrilling to be allowed/encouraged to use our phones during the show.)

Possible issue with latest release 0.1.1
I had a problem when I had installed the "buddypress moderation" plugin. Once activated, the admin screen was blank never to return unless I disable all the plugins and reactivate them one by one.
To ensure that the problem was not one of the other plugins, I installed a new wp/bp even using new db. Installing (via wizard) "bp moderation" was fine until I activated it — then got same behavior as before. [using latest wp & bp]
Is there something I am missing? All the admin screens disappear (go blank) (anything under …/wp-admin) once "bp moderation" is activated.
Thank you in advance

Soon the next Mars Rover, Curiosity, lands on the Red Planet
Less Than a Week Remains Before NASA's Biggest Rover Yet Lands on Mars
NASA's newest Mars rover is less than a week away from its high-stakes landing on the surface of the Red Planet.
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover is scheduled to touch down on Mars at 10:30 p.m. PDT on Aug. 5 (1:30 a.m. Aug. 6 EDT, 0530 GMT). The car-size robotic explorer is designed to investigate whether Mars is, or ever was, capable of hosting microbial life.
With six days to go until Curiosity arrives at the Red Planet, project managers are bracing themselves for what NASA calls the riskiest part of the mission: the rover's harrowing descent through the Martian atmosphere to the ground.

Go nuts in the kitchen over the holidays. They will seduce you and your guests with their delicious flavors and textures, and they'll give your table an international flair.
With each crunchy bite, you will also be helping your joints loosen, giving your heart a little assist, and taking in protein, energy and fiber.
• Although nuts in the shell keep longer than those out of the shell, it is impossible to judge their freshness. Nuts are harvested in late summer and fall, so logically they should be perfect for the holidays, but find out when they were harvested. Avoid any whose shells are cracked.
• Buy nuts from a shop where there is plenty of turnover, which indicates a better chance of freshness.
• Use your eyes. The nuts should have a light, even color without dark or oily spots. They should look plump; a shriveled, dried-out nut won't taste good. If nuts are packaged, check the "sell-by" date.
• Use your nose. If the nuts are in bulk, smell them. There shouldn't be an oily or off aroma.
• Use your palate. If the nuts are in bulk, taste them. Any reputable store should let you do that.
• Pay special attention when you buy pine nuts, walnuts and pecans; those are particularly perishable, as they are among the oiliest nuts.
• Store shell-on nuts in a cool, dark spot when you get them home, and crack them/use them as soon as you can.
• During the holidays, you're likely to use up nuts quickly. They'll keep in an airtight container in the dark for about two weeks. If you don't plan to use them that soon, seal them in a plastic bag and/or container, label it, and store them in the freezer. (I measure them first, so I'm sure what I've got.) This is true for all nuts, nut flour (also called "meal") and sliced nuts. Nuts can be used without being defrosted.
I have a rule of thumb for roasting nuts, but it varies based on the freshness and moisture content of the nut, the type of oven, the depth of nuts in the pan. Nuts help you know when they are toasted by filling the kitchen with their aroma. Stay close by your roasting nuts so that you can smell when they are ready; they will burn in an instant.
To roast nuts, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spread the nuts in a single layer in a metal baking pan or baking sheet. Roast until they begin to send a gorgeous, nutty aroma through the house, which can take anywhere from seven to 15 minutes. Check them after seven minutes, then every five minutes after that. Once they are roasted to your liking (I like mine on the dark, rather than light, side), let them cool thoroughly before storing them. Once cooled, they are fragile and should be used or frozen immediately.
Nuts can be skinned after they're roasted, but different nuts require different techniques:
• Andy Ricker, chef-owner of the famed Thai street food restaurant Pok Pok in New York, taught me a trick for skinning peanuts. He lets them fall into a bowl in front of a fan, which blows away the skins. You can also do this by blowing on them as they drop into a bowl. Another method is to rub peanuts in a sieve, then shake them vigorously. The skins fall to the bottom of the sieve; then you have to pick out the skinned peanuts one by one. The takeaway lesson: There isn't an easy way to remove skins from peanuts.
• Hazelnuts are a little easier. Roast them, then transfer them directly to a tea towel. Fold the towel over the nuts and let them cool, then vigorously rub off the skins in the towel. If some hazelnut skins are stubborn, you can roll them between your fingers, or if they can afford more roasting, return them to the oven and repeat. Some skin left on a hazelnut will not adversely affect a dish.
• Almonds are simple. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add raw, unsalted almonds; once the water returns to a boil, use a slotted spoon or Chinese skimmer to transfer the nuts to a colander. As soon as the almonds are cool enough to handle, squeeze them on their fat ends, and they will pop right out of their skins. If they become cool and the skins stick to the nut, just dip them back into the hot water.
• Walnuts are tough to skin, and few recipes call for them that way. But it is possible and the results are stunningly delicious. Plunge raw, unsalted walnuts in boiling water for one minute, remove them, and with a paring knife, peel off all the gold skin you can.
• Roast pistachios, then follow the directions for hazelnuts above, or roll the nuts individually between your fingers.
Hot Cashews
• Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl.
• Heat 2 cups mild oil, such as peanut or canola in a wok or deep saucepan over medium or medium-high heat.
• Once the temperature reaches 375 degrees, add 2 cups raw, unsalted cashews. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the nuts are deeply golden.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the nuts to the fine-mesh strainer to drain. Salt them generously, tossing to distribute the salt evenly.
• Drain for 10 minutes, then transfer the cashews to a mixing bowl. Add 3 small, fresh medium-to-hot red peppers, cut crosswise into thin slices, and toss to incorporate.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice over the mixture, then toss again to distribute evenly. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Cool completely before serving or storing. Makes about 2 cups (8 servings).
Walnut-Stuffed Dates
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spread 40 or more raw, unsalted walnut pieces on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast for about 8 minutes or just until fragrant. Cool completely.
• Stuff each date with a piece of walnut (or two).
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the dates and stir to coat. Cook until they are thoroughly heated through; this should take about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Season the dates with fleur de sel. Transfer to a serving dish and serve right away, or freeze for up to 1 month. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

The CMOS Device and Reliability Project will develop advanced metrology tools to enable high performance CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) devices with sufficient reliability.
This project develops metrology tools to characterize advanced transistors to understand the physics governing their performance and degradation. We deal with current problems as well as expected problems in the future. By working closely with semiconductor manufacturers, we deliver solutions that are important and timely.
Electron devices and their reliability have long been important topics of research at NIST. Over the years, we have always played a central role in this important field. Many of the commonly used test structures and test methodologies in the industry were developed at NIST. NIST also led many of the standard setting efforts.
CMOS technology has advanced at a steady, but rapid pace for many decades. It is now a global business with over $300 billion in annual sales. The larger electronics industry that leverages the CMOS technology has annual sales of multi-trillion dollars. Everything electronics, as we all have come to expect, get cheaper and better every year - a benefit of the relentless advance in CMOS technology.
The CMOS transistors currently in production are as small as 20 nm, and those in advanced development are smaller than 10 nm. Properly characterizing these devices and understanding factors that affect their performance and reliability are extremely challenging. Our work focus is on meeting these measurement challenges by pushing the known measurement technologies to the limit and developing new measurement capabilities. By emphasizing fundamental understanding of the measured phenomenon, we amplify our impact to the industry.

Baseball moves on to post-season play
by Jack Kintner
Blaine senior left-hander Grant Sanders picked the last inning of the last game of the regular season on Tuesday to hit his first home run of the season, a two-run shot off senior fastballer Bryce VanKooten of Meridian. Sanders broke a 2-2 tie and then struck out the side in the Meridian half of the inning for a two-hit, ten strikeout gem that sent Blaine into the district playoffs this weekend in Mount Vernon. Meridian�s loss eliminated them from post-season play.
Playing at Meridian, Blaine scored twice early and nursed a 2-0 lead into the sixth, when Sanders appeared to tire.
For the second time in two games he threw a wild pitch allowing Meridian to score from third, in this case tagging out the tying run himself at the plate only to drop the ball. The run counted, and as Sanders walked back to the mound Blaine Coach Gary Clausen reminded him to �stay within himself,� that is, stay balanced in his delivery.
Whether it was that comment, Sander�s determination or both, the game changed completely. Sanders quickly retired the side, and then Laird Dickie led off the seventh inning with a walk.
Batting second in the inning, Sanders took the first pitch for a called strike and then tagged VanKooten�s 0-1 fastball to the opposite field and out of sight. Sanders and senior Kyle Green both went 2 for 3 for the game, and as a pitcher Sanders finished the regular season with a record of three wins and three loses.
In summing up the season and preparing for post-season play, 23-year head baseball coach Gary Clausen said this year has been a �real Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing, with some good games and some games we�d just as soon forget. Of our eight losses in league play, six were by one run, so we know we�re competitive.�
Blaine loses three seniors this year, Clausen said, �but we�ve got only two returning juniors on this year�s team so it will still be young. Joey Paciorek�s eligible next year.�
Paciorek, an 8th grader, is the nephew of Blaine resident and former Seattle Mariner left fielder Tom Paciorek, and his father played in Japan.
�Baseball�s in his blood,� Clausen grinned.
Blaine plays Lynden Christian on Saturday in the first game of post-season play. The teams will play at Sherman Anderson Ball Field at 10 a.m. in Mount Vernon, Washington. If Blaine wins, they play Nooksack at 4 p.m.; if they lose, they play Tuesday at a time to be announced.
To get there, head south on I-5 and take the Kincaid exit west through the stoplights to the four way stop at Cleveland. Turn left (south) and the field is seven blocks down on your left.
Golf team scoring well in leagues, two players invited to tournament
Results of Blaine�s golf team so far this season are as follows:
April 17 at Shuksan, league match: Blaine 220, Lakewood 240, Meridian 231, and Mt. Baker 231.Kevin Farmer 39, Doug Goldsby 40, Travis Black 44, Justin Farmer 47 and CJ Stauffer 50.
April 23 at Raspberry Ridge, league match: Blaine 199, Meridian 229, and Nooksack Valley 241. Kevin Farmer 37, Doug Goldsby 38, Justin Farmer 38, CJ Stauffer 41, and Travis Black 45. Kevin Farmer earned Medalist Honors.
April 29 at Semiahmoo , non-league match: Sehome 384, Lynden 411, Blaine 440 and Mt. Baker 448. Played 18 holes in this match. Kevin Farmer 78, Doug Goldsby 87, Justin Farmer 88, CJ Stauffer 89, and Jacob Hillard 98.
May 1 at Semiahmoo, league match: South Whidbey 217, Blaine 220, Lakewood 235, and Nooksack Valley 270. Kevin Farmer 38, Justin Farmer 41, Doug Goldsby 43, CJ Stauffer 49 and Jacob Hillard 49. Kevin Farmer earned medalist honors.
Coach Steve Barthlow said South Whidbey is the only league team to beat Blaine this season. �In the first match we played against them they beat us by 28 strokes on their course. This time we were able to close the gap three strokes on our course.�
On May 2 at the Skagit Golf and Country Club, Kevin Farmer and Doug Goldsby received invitations to participate in the prestious Egbers Invitational Golf Tournament, one of the top tournaments held in the state, Barthlow said.
�I have been very pleased with the effort thus far this year,� he said. � Justin Farmer, who played on the JV team last year, has been scoring very well thus far.�

2012 Writing Contest: Economics on TV?
Third Place Creative Writing
The Colony: Demands of Survival
John was brainstorming. He had only a few days to create a new source of electricity to charge the power source for the entire colony. Luckily, his travels in Europe had lent him enough knowledge of World War II to know some tricks used by those who were devastated by war. Just as a "wood gasifier" allowed cars to run on wood power during the war, a successfully built gasifier would create a powerful generator for electric power. As an eccentric engineer, John knew his proposed contraption would not fail, and with the supply of electricity running low, his time was limited. Mike's protests, however, forced John to understand that unintended consequences of creating such a generator could include a deadly explosion. Yet John realizes that the opportunity costs of exploring alternative energy sources could be the possibility of having a reliable, working generator. "ls risking an explosion a worthwhile cost of producing energy?" John asks himself repeatedly. "Yes, yes, it is. A trade-off of this decision may be a safer power source, but my gasifier will produce results and benefits that far outweigh this trade-off," he decided after hours of debate with the other colonists.
Other members of the colony began to experience the deficits of resources and feel the pinch of limited supply and high demand. In the pantry, George and Allison discuss the inventory of other vital supplies. As cans of food and buckets of fresh water dwindle, the trauma nurse and doctor must face the effects of demand. Additional colonists attempting to survive the apocalypse threaten the existing supplies. Demand for goods in the colony creates intense scarcity, and the survivors experience difficulties in choosing which benefits are the most important for life. As the two young, healthy medical personnel in the colony, George and Allison are charged with distributing provisions according to nutritional need for survival.
Feeling the pressure to make the food last longer, George desperately divides the remaining cans of food, trying to maximize the benefits of the limited supplies. As provisions quickly disappear in the colony, the value of precious resources like food seems to inflate; the fewer resources the colonists have in their possession, the more valuable they seem to be.
Meanwhile, former convict Joey leads the quest to find food outside the colony's complex. Slashing the air, scaring those that may threaten him, Joey resorts to scavenging and looting deserted areas in the locality. Nearby, John struggles internally with the theft he committed, yet he knows that the cost of survival is defying his moral standards. In order to survive, all of the scavengers must accept the costs of obtaining benefits from goods and resources. The desperation of the colonists drives them to extremes: They fight over how to distribute scarce resources, they compete with one another for positions of power, and they resort to theft and ransacking others' camps. "I understand that we need food, but we just took vital resources from those campers. How can we steal from others that are just trying to survive, like we are?" John probes Leilani for comfort for his throbbing conscience. "They would have done the same to us," Leilani replies gently. "When resources are scarce and demand is great, there are costs we must pay in order to survive and benefit from others. With supplies so limited and scarce, not everyone's demands can be met, and the strongest live."
"Ah, very well. I guess that supply and demand is a fact of life and that sometimes, your life depends on it."

To what extent can an idea be unique?
Are all ideas just the combination of known principles or trial and error? Examples and peronal experiences are good as well as just opinions. This question could be expanded to any thought at all, not just ideas. If there is a thought that is almost entirely unique, there can't be any previous oppposite idea. What I mean is if an idea is the exact opposite of another it isn't really original. It just stated the opposite. If an entirely original idea can be made, how will it be formed?
I have some opinions currently, but I'm sure they'll change after your comments. Please ask me to expand or clarify if needed.

Milo KelleyAug 8 2013: I was a little surprised at how literal and academic some of the answers became. Definition became the point not a thougthful answer. thanks for those taking a different road.
I guess to answer this one would have to determine what is meant by unique and by idea. Also needing answered is if unique for the individual or for the 7 billion others living today. By idea, one would have to determine if it is only a cognition or something turned into physical reality. Such as something another can sense with their 5 senses or gain an image in another's mind. So much for the definitions. You can sort those out.
I'm not sure where you were going with this when you first asked the question. But while the unique for the 7 billion maybe more definitive, I'm more intrigued by the individual. I think unique for an individual has meaning and application. The unique for the billions while thought provoking, has little utility. And from the conversation so far, would you say we have some unique answers, maybe even some unique ideas? I would say there were some unique ideas, but only from the point of view as individuals. From the more strict interpretation, the 7 billion, likely not so much. And therefore for me that lacks interest.
Unique for me would be those firsts. The first time some little person touches the hot stove. That experience was only unique to that person. I'm sure there was a unique idea planted in his/her brain. Once in a while someone does venture out to something nearly unique to the 7 billion. But even then I believe they were "standing on the shoulders of" others. The other idea of sharing it may be relevant here. Others may have thought it, but only until one shares it can it be "determined" to be first or unique.
So for me the academic questions of can something be truly unique for all history or all future doesn't give me much to be excited about. But make it unique to me and you have a winner.
Aug 10 2013: What an interesting view..
Having the 'first' feeling of the experience would be the unique moment of your life, then I would also say having constant relations with the experience would also be 'unique'.
"individual" that you point out, I think, is one of the main factors of being unique.
Actually it's the key point, I believe.
But what if it goes with a group experience?
Or continuous, boring experience?
Does it ever lose its peculiarity?
Might sound too obvious, but does it?
Want to share your thoughts on this :)
Aug 10 2013: As far as the group experience, it may be an experience while in a group, but the individual still has the unique first experience. So the sense or feeling, or image, etc is still a personal experience and while in a group setting, still that individual's experience and maybe unique. It can only be unique once. So continous is no longer unique.
The thought of peculiarity is a completely different line of thinking separate from unique. As for losing it's peculiarity that is situationally depend. What is the event, thought, image, experience and how does the person respond to it. Depending on which definition of peculiar you use could make a difference on how one would view the experience(s).
For example, My girlfriend has a peculiar way of kissing which I love and makes me want more. Versus, that peculiar odor coming for the frig makes me wonder what may be growing in there. The first one may never lose it's peculiarity or sought after or enjoyable experience for me. The odor may remain that odd smell you had that given day. I hope this got my point across. I'm not sure but right now can't think of another way to explain it.
But I think we are mixing the unique (from the TED question) with repeated events (continuous). I think unique from the TED conversation was meaning the first idea without just extension or combination of existing ideas for anyone along the continuum of time. Your comments are not referencing this uniqueness.
As I stated earlier, the uniqueness of the TED question isn't all that interesting to me. Make it unique/new to me and you have a winner. As an extension to your thought(s) make it something I find pleasuseable and I will hope it can be continuous.
Good luck figuring out what I'm actually trying to say. I just reread it. I'm even a bit confused.
Either way, Smile and have a great day.

Hans Hoyer Heritage 6802 Bb/F Double French Horn String MechanismKey of Bb/F double, string linkage. Includes case and mouthpiece. Kruspe was the inspiration for the famous Conn 8D which helped define the sound of greats Vincent De Rosa, and Myron Bloom.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I bought the 6802NSA which has string linkages and a detachable bell. I compared with the Hoyer 7802, new 8D's, and some of the new Vintage 8D's, and this horn played better than all of them. The horn centers very well, has a wide color palette, and is very responsive. It's now wonder that so many of the Hollywood horn players have switched to these horns. I have received many positive comments from my colleagues and from audience members as well. I did have a longer main slide built to bring me down to A440. I was replacing a 900,000 series 8D, and wish I had done it earlier. This is a truly world-class horn!
I purchased my Hoyer Heritage 6801 after comparing it with an "Elkhart era" Conn 8-D and several Holtons. The biggest thing to win me over was the clear, rich tone it produced. Attacks are clean, notes are well centered, and pitches are clear and easy to reach. A couple of the Holtons were a bit easier to reach the highest notes in my range (C above staff), but none of them could match that Hoyer tone, and, for me, that made the extra work on the highest notes worth it. Other strengths include a mid to lower range that is more powerful than a some other horn's I've played on, and valves (mechanical linkage in my case) that are smooth, quick, and very quiet. I could wish for the master tuning slide to be a hair longer - it is out almost all the way to be in pitch with an American band (European orchestras tune a hair sharper than American). Bottom line, however - I love this horn, and a year and half of ownership and further comparisons in the price range have continued to validate my choice.
Have not played the horn in 20 years. I decided to start again playing an instrument I have always enjoyed. A borrowed Conn 8D had been the only instrument I knew about. After receiving a suggestion to try a horn I never heard of, I decided on model 6802. WOW! The valves are so quick, the sound so nice, and the centering of pitches incredible. I sounded like a pro. Needless to say, I bought it last month and have been practicing almost daily. I'll be playing a Mozart horn concerto for my mom and dad's 50 anniversary with confidence! Try it, you'll like it. I promise.
