This project has run into a problem and I think it's very important to tell you about it.
LRFF has one employee and that's only part time work, one or two days a week, his name is Jimmy Acosta Elizondo, LRFF's field director. All other work is temporary for planting or maintenance.
Oh, what a team we all made planting together and afterward watching after the trees by keeping the other vegetation cleaned around them. Over the past two years we have become close friends with healing our Mother Earth in common, the love of restoring her natural environment. Last September, when the intensive maintenance was finished Deibys Villalobos Sibaja and Argelio Garcia Talavera, our last temporary employees, felt that they had been working full time with indefinite employment on the project. Consequently when there was no more need of their services until the next project starts they reported LRFF to the Ministry of Work.
Ever since last December we have attended court processes at the Ministry and this month at the courthouse in Guatuso. They are reporting that they worked full time for LRFF more than one year and demanding more money in back pay than they every earned. It's not over with more court dates to come.
This is very common in Costa Rica and so many times I've thought about how I should've been a worker in Costa Rica and an employer in the United States. In the US, as an employee, we were lucky to get a dead turkey for Christmas. Bottom line, in Costa Rica an employer must pay each full time employee three months pay in bonuses, severance, vacation and holidays each YEAR. Hmm.
Good news! The trees are a forest now on all sides. Up in Viento Fresco at Marvin Castro's farm, down to Franklin Mojica's in Tonjibe and on down the Rio Sol to Lillian and Julio's where the corridor began two years ago. Thirty-five hectares of newly forested land that otherwise would've sloughed off into the Rio Sol. Please don't forget we still need funding for this project. The maintenance continues and inspections for the next five years. We have done this project under funded and have a lot to make up for, especially if we must pay Deibys and Argelio.
Many thanks to you all for your continued support.

This monument memorializes Elijah P. Lovejoy, whose work and death in Alton gave him a place in history for the abolition of slavery. During the slavery era, Elijah Lovejoy was a pastor who wrote anti-slavery editorials so controversial he became an object of hatred by slaveholders. Despite threats to his life, he continued his anti-slavery writings in the Alton Observer, even after three of his printing presses were thrown into the Mississippi River. It was this persistence that led an angry pro-slavery mob to attack and kill him in 1837.

Thanks for helping!
We had the Big Burger combo. The burger was good, but nothing special. The fries were great. We also had some onion rings. They are home made and we really liked them. Great service.
Love this place so much! Their chicken philly is to die for! The kids love their cheese speedy burgers. Very friendly staff!
It's a local shop if you want to "eat bad" here's a good place to go. The little cheeseburgers look suspiciously like Krystal burgers.
They did... The burger tasted like a prepackaged soy patty. The fries were extremely greasy, I won't be back. Went through the drive through so I can't speak to the cleanliness of the inside.
Speedburger is a local fast food place that has good food and good service. It is not a Drive-in. It does have a drive through window but is primarily a go in and sit down place. Burgers, hotdogs, fries, and shakes are the standard fare but you will find other things like fish sandwiches, fried chicken or shrimp. Strongly enough...
This place is a staple in Jasper. They have wonderful food and it's always served hot and fresh. You can't go wrong with a burger, but their plates are really good too. My favorite plate is the hamburger steak. My husband loves their onion rings, and my daughter loves their corn dogs. Whatever you decide to order, wash it down...
Burgers and Fries are what I normally get. Hot dogs are wonderful too. The service is fast, and food has always been fresh. We get the ice cream after dinner and it's good too. Eat here and you will be back for more!
Stopped by here while visiting area. Cute little fast food place with small Krystal's like burgers but better. They have a wide selection of food including fried chicken and more. Will definitely go here again!
I ordered two speed burgers to go. They are 75 cents apiece. I ate them at home and they were very good. They remind me a little of Krystals. Small hamburger patty on a roll-like bun. The bun was freshly made and very good. Very tasty for the price. The restaurant is very small and has a fast-food ambiance. Service...
My family has been eating here for years. The food is very good and the staff is always friendly. Not sure when the yuppies from Atl visited and had such bad service but they are welcome to stay in atl. We don't need you coming up here telling us how you do it in the city. Enough said

This conclusion from a survey of 333 insolvent businesses in the year to June 1994 contradicts criticisms of the insolvency profession by many bankrupt businessmen and banks, that accountants face a conflict of interest if they are subsequently appointed receivers.
The laws governing how insolvent companies are treated are under review by the Government. The survey by the Society of Practitioners of Insolvency (SPI) is seen by the profession as a key weapon in its lobbying effort to avoid being forced to separate the roles of investigating accountants and receivers.
For every investigating accountant who recommends to the bank that he be appointed receiver, two other investigators help save the company and avoid any formal insolvency procedure.
And investigators who do become receivers are far more likely to succeed in rescuing the company, either as a going concern or as part of a trade sale, than if a totally fresh accountant is brought in as receiver, the survey found.
When investigating accountants are appointed only a fifth of businesses are broken up and 47 per cent are either completely rescued or sold on.
Insolvency specialists are keen to show that the great bulk of their work is now concerned with rescuing companies 'behind the scenes' and that only a minority of cases become public in the form of a receivership or liquidation.
The SPI estimated that 7,000 companies in the year to June 1994 were of such concern to their banks that investigating accountants were appointed and that a significant majority were saved behind the scenes.

The vortex called to him as its opening swirled round and round. Soft whispers from its depths called his name, begging him to enter and discover its secrets. Beads of sweat dewed on Aizane's forehead as he struggled with himself to remain seated on the ground, his back against the cavern wall.
"Aizane! Aizane!" The soft voice coming from the vortex cooed his name sinisterly. Oh how he longed to throw himself into their unknown world. Join them... Control them...
"Aizane!" This voice sounded closer to his ear, and snatched his thoughts out of the zone they were trapped in. "Are you alright?" a man with a dusty face and reddish hair stepped into his line of view, blocking the portal from his hungry eyes.
"Of course I am." Aizane snapped at the man as he climbed to his feet. "Are we nearly ready, Tzar?"
"I do believe I've figured it out." Tzar's fingers clenched into a fist nervously. "It will take a large amount of power, but it can be done."
A small hint of a smile played across Aizane's lips. "Very good. Let us get to it at once."
Tzar's green eyes widened as he stared into his companion's cold blue gaze. "Now? Do you really think we are prepared?"
"I've waited long enough." He growled through clenched teeth. "Now do whatever it is you have to do."
The wizard nodded curtly, his red hair falling into his eyes. He did nothing to remove it as he faced the portal and his hand found the blood red crystal, forever located around his neck. Following a deep breath, strange words flowed from his mouth, as Aizane looked on. Tzar's crystal began to emit a soft glow, which soon grew into a brilliant shine. The light engulfed the wizard as the chanting grew louder, faster.
Aizane's eyes grew wide and the smile his lips formed could never be mistaken for joy. Pure evil showed on the man's illuminated face as the red light reached out to the portal, engulfing it while Tzar began shouting bizarre words.
"Well I'll be damned," Aizane whispered to himself. "The twit has actually done it."
After a few more moments of shouting at the vortex, the wizard fell to his knees as the glow retreated back to the crystal. His pale face turned to his friend's as he struggled to breathe. "It is done," he wheezed, "the portal shall not close unless I command it to do so."
"And that will be when I tell you to." Aizane extended his hand to the weak looking man on the cavern floor. With a groan Tzar climbed to his feet and stumbled. The other man caught him easily, and supported him as they began to walk into the cave, leaving the vortex behind them.
"Wha- What are you doing?" Tzar's voice was barely above a whisper. "We can't leave the portal like that, something could-"
"You need water and a moment's rest before we leave this wretched place. The journey could kill a man as weak as you are right now."
Tzar could only nod in agreement as they followed the many twists and turns the cave offered. After a short time, they came upon a small opening, which was home to the only water source they discovered in the many years they lived on the mountain. Aizane pushed the wizard through, rather harshly, and then followed closely. Tzar dropped to his aching knees once more, as he cupped his hand and thirstily slurped the water they held. A few gulps later, color returned to his cheeks and his gaze met Aizane's.
"Now there's just one thing left to do…"
"What would that be?" Tzar questioned, not failing to notice the coldness in his companion's voice.
The movement was quick, and before the wizard realized what was happening, Aizane had his beloved crystal in his hand.
"What are you doing?!" Tzar gasped as his hand flew to his throat in disbelief, his fingers wanting the comfort of his chain, but grasping only his tunic. "You can't possibly get any use of that! It chose me!"
"Ah, but you see my friend," he spat the word nastily, "that's where you're wrong." With a maniacal laugh, Aizane lifted the crystal into the air as a reddish orange glow burst from it, blinding its owner harshly.
The ground began to shake, and confusion added to Tzar's weakness made his head spin. He had never felt more disoriented in his life. The cave walls began spinning as Aizane's voice filled the air. He was chanting words the wizard had never before heard, and without warning, Tzar's world went dark.

Turbulent transport of momentum and heat --

The statistical description of turbulence --
Turbulent transport --
Spectral dynamics.
|H. Tennekes and J.L. Lumley.
The subject of turbulence, the most forbidding in fluid dynamics, has usually proved treacherous to the beginner, caught in the whirls and eddies of its nonlinearities and statistical imponderables. This is the first book specifically designed to offer the student a smooth transitionary course between elementary fluid dynamics (which gives only last-minute attention to turbulence) and the professional literature on turbulent flow, where an advanced viewpoint is assumed. Moreover, the text has been developed for students, engineers, and scientists with different technical backgrounds and interests. Almost all flows, natural and man-made, are turbulent. Thus the subject is the concern of geophysical and environmental scientists (in dealing with atmospheric jet streams, ocean currents, and the flow of rivers, for example), of astrophysicists (in studying the photospheres of the sun and stars or mapping gaseous nebulae), and of engineers (in calculating pipe flows, jets, or wakes). Many such examples are discussed in the book. The approach taken avoids the difficulties of advanced mathematical development on the one side and the morass of experimental detail and empirical data on the other. As a result of following its midstream course, the text gives the student a physical understanding of the subject and deepens his intuitive insight into those problems that cannot now be rigorously solved. In particular, dimensional analysis is used extensively in dealing with those problems whose exact solution is mathematically elusive. Dimensional reasoning, scale arguments, and similarity rules are introduced at the beginning and are applied throughout. A discussion of Reynolds stress and the kinetic theory of gases provides the contrast needed to put mixing-length theory into proper perspective: the authors present a thorough comparison between the mixing-length models and dimensional analysis of shear flows. This is followed by an extensive treatment of vorticity dynamics, including vortex stretching and vorticity budgets. Two chapters are devoted to boundary-free shear flows and well-bounded turbulent shear flows. The examples presented include wakes, jets, shear layers, thermal plumes, atmospheric boundary layers, pipe and channel flow, and boundary layers in pressure gradients. The spatial structure of turbulent flow has been the subject of analysis in the book up to this point, at which a compact but thorough introduction to statistical methods is given. This prepares the reader to understand the stochastic and spectral structure of turbulence. The remainder of the book consists of applications of the statistical approach to the study of turbulent transport (including diffusion and mixing) and turbulent spectra.

Dancing With the Stars Christina Milian Eliminated After Receiving a 10
Dancing With the Stars had a shocking elimination when Christina Milian was sent home last night, October 14th, after receiving the first 10 of the season for her cha cha with Mark Ballas.
The judges praised the dancer for her performance, but that wasn't enough. Christina and Mark did not have the fans votes. Christina and Mark were the top scoring team of the evening and they were pitted against Leah and Tony, who were the lowest scoring team of the night. Since it isn't about one night, it didn't matter. Christina and Mark's scores from the entire competition, along with the votes from last week, determined which duo stayed and which dance team was sent home.
Although Christina and Mark scored the highest for the evening and even received the first 10 of the season, they did not receive enough votes last week to keep them in the competition.
The audience was shocked by the eliminationm with a lot of booing, but Christina was completely gracious with her exit. Can we say the same for Mark, who was upset with Julianna Hough's criticism, when she was the guest judge on Dancing With the Stars, last week?

rd: Stata Module for Regression Discontinuity Estimation
Statistical Software Components (2014)
rd implements a set of regression-discontinuity estimation methods that are thought to have very good internal validity, for estimating the causal effect of one explanatory variable in the case where there is an observable jump (discontinuity) in the level of the explanatory variable. Local linear regression is used to construct point estimates. Graphics dictate Stata 8.2 or later. An older version of the software is also included as rd_obs.

The Federal Government and Opposition are at odds over the merits of the proposed sale of Medibank Private, including whether it will lead to a rise in insurance premiums.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann has announced the government-owned company will be sold through an initial public offering in the next financial year, 2014-15.
He says the details are yet to be finalised but that an independent scoping study has found no evidence that premiums will increase as a result of the privatisation.
Senator Cormann says no one investor will be able to buy more than a 15 per cent share in the insurer, which was valued at more than $4 billion in 2006 but recently estimated at being worth around half that.
But the Opposition believes Medibank Private should stay in public hands and has raised concerns about premium rises and the future of the insurer's employees.

A private health scheme that guarantees members priority bulk-billed care contravenes the "spirit" of Medicare laws designed to ensure equal access to health care, an Australian Medical Association (AMA) official warns.
Medibank Private began trialling the program last November at six north Brisbane medical practices and aims to expand it to 30 more sites in Queensland, as well as other states.

If people take avoidable health and injury risks, why shouldn't they be asked to help cover the costs when things go pear-shaped?
With government health budgets severely stretched, surely it's reasonable to send these people a substantial emergency department bill, or review their Medicare benefits, if they need to be stitched up, patched up, or otherwise sorted out after their misadventures.
If we knew that irresponsibility had consequences, we would all make better decisions about our health.

net neutrality
The ability of the U.S. government to regulate broadband internet service is back in court, as the Washington D.C. federal appeals court on Friday heard arguments by the cable and telecom industry challenging rules the FCC established earlier this year regarding net neutrality. Re/code Senior Editor Arik Hesseldahl joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss. Continue reading
WASHINGTON — Lawmakers are getting their chance this week to weigh in on the "net neutrality" debate that has pitted Internet activists against big cable companies and prompted a record number of public comments filed to U.S. regulators. Continue reading
In our news wrap Thursday, communications regulators approved new net neutrality rules, meaning Internet service providers must act in the "public interest" and can't slow or block online traffic. Also, National Intelligence Director James Clapper announced that Russia has become the leading cyber-threat to U.S. national security, displacing China. Continue reading

WASHINGTON — Is President Barack Obama taking over the Internet? Not by a long stretch, but that's not stopping political banter in the "net neutrality" debate. Continue reading
The Federal Communications Commission unrolled a plan to preserve equal access to the Internet for all users, treating broadband in a way that's similar to a public utility. Leading up to the announcement, more than 4 million commenters weighed in on the net neutrality debate at the FCC in the past year. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler joins Gwen Ifill to discuss the decision. Continue reading
In an exclusive interview with Gwen Ifill on the PBS NewsHour, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said his new proposal would stop companies from blocking content or creating fast lanes on the Internet through paid priority. While "we don't know what the Internet will look like in five years," Wheeler told Gwen on Wednesday, his new proposal for the FCC would essentially create "a yardstick to measure what's fair for consumers."

Internet service providers, including those selling wireless connections, would be prohibited from slowing down or speeding up web traffic, under rules proposed Wednesday by a top U.S. regulator that would subject the broadband industry to unprecedented regulation.

Computational neuroscience conceptualizes the brain as a parallel computer that is built from biological hardware. The hardware consists of neurons and their interconnections. Biologists can measure many aspects of neural function but they encounter great difficulties in directly measuring how these neurons work together as a unified system. Computer simulations and mathematical analysis are used as a means to try to fill in these gaps and to generate new ideas and hypotheses about how the various brain subsystems work, singly, and in concert, to form a unified mind.
There are also practical sides to this subject. Is it possible to reverse engineer the brain to build an artificial intelligence system capable of human-like perception or thinking? This is known as biomorphic artificial intelligence. Can we construct brain/machine interfaces to assist humans who are handicaped, such as paraplegics or the visually impaired? Is it possible to develop brain simulations of mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia?

O.C. duo shares Olympic dream
COSTA MESA – For nearly a year now, Kyla Ross has kept a framed copy of the 2012 Olympic Games gymnastics competition schedule near her bed.
"If I'm feeling good one day or I might not have the best day I try to look at it for some motivation," Ross said.
McKayla Maroney keeps the same schedule in her head.
"London is the dream I've always had since I was little," she said.
Photos: McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross
Competing in the Olympic Games is a dream Maroney, 16, a double World Championships gold medalist in 2011, and Ross, 15, billed as the next big thing in American gymnastics, have shared since they first met nearly a decade ago in an Orange County gym. It is a dream many in the sport believe they are on the brink of fulfilling at U.S. Olympic Trials this week in San Jose.
"That would be like the coolest thing," Maroney said. "When I think about it, it makes me want to cry almost. To have that childhood friend, to have somebody you've worked so hard with, we went through so many things together, to have two girls from the same place like Aliso Viejo to make it to the Olympics would just be awesome."
They have been by each other's side and cheered each other on through world conquering triumphs.
Maroney followed up winning a gold medal with the U.S. squad in the team competition at last year's World Championships in Tokyo with a world title on the vault. Ross, in only her second senior international competition, won the all-around, uneven bars and balance beam title at Italy's Cup of Jesolo, a check point on the Road to London.
And they have been someone to lean on in more trying times.
Maroney's participation at the Trials was thrown into doubt when she crashed while practicing at the Visa/USA Gymnastics Championships June 10. She suffered a fractured nose and a concussion but has been cleared by USA Gymnastics' medical staff to compete in San Jose after passing the same concussion test required by the NFL and NHL for athletes to return to competition three times.
"They compliment each other as friends," said Kiana Ross, Kyla's mother. "They bring out the best in each other."
"We're still best friends," Maroney said. "We're so close. We pretty much know everything about each other. That's what happens when you grow up together, when you're in the gym with somebody all day."
Ross and Maroney grew up near each other in Aliso Viejo and followed similar paths to gymnastics.
"When I was younger," Maroney said. "I would be watching 'Tarzan' and running around on all fours. My mom was 'I need to put this child in gymnastics. She's crazy.'"
Ross left similar wreckage on her way to the sport at age 3, swinging off the edges of tables, using the family couch as a balance beam, breaking it in the process.
"She was very destructive," Kiana Ross said. "We would go to the park and everybody would say 'Who's baby is on top of that jungle gym?' And I would say 'Oh, that's my baby. Don't worry about her, she's fine.'"
But not everyone saw a future in the sport for Ross.
"She was born with muscles," Kiana Ross said. "She was very stocky."
Among the early skeptics was Jenny Zhang, who has coached Ross at Gym-Max in Costa Mesa since she was 8.
"She had this square body, no legs, square shoulders," Zhang recalled.
But Zhang's husband, Howie Liang, a veteran coach, spotted Ross' power right away.
"Howie said 'Don't worry about her she will have long legs,'" Zhang said.
What was evident to Zhang early was Ross' competitiveness.
"If somebody did 20 or 30 leg lifts she would do 60," Zhang said.
Maroney's commitment was also clear.
"I realized that I had a dream that I wanted to go to the Olympics and I wanted to go as far as I could go," Maroney said. "I thought I should probably move to a new gym and start thinking about the Olympics."
She was 9.
Shortly thereafter she moved with Ross to Gym-Max.
"She was happiest in the gym," said Maroney's mother Erin. Maroney has since moved to the All Olympia gym in Los Angeles. "When she walks in the gym there's a feeling that comes over. It completes her."
"I just loved doing stuff that most people can't do with their body," McKayla Maroney said. "I can flip in the air and just fly on certain things. And I just love that feeling of working so hard on something that you really, really want and reaching that goal. It's the best feeling."
When the young Ross and Maroney weren't in the gym they were in a local pool talking about the Olympics.
"We had these foam noodles in the pool and we'd make up beam and bar routines in the pool," Ross said.
They continue to make a splash at the international level, emerging as global stars and coming under constant scrutiny from the media, USA Gymnastics national team director Martha Karolyi and the sport's devoted fans as the U.S. makes another run at the Olympic team gold medal that has eluded the Americans since 1996.
"I don't think it's weird to me," Maroney said of the pressure. "I think in my mind I've already accepted the fact that's the path I want to go on."
A path she's shared with Ross.

Pros: Picks up all the stations in my area with no problems. Easy to use.
Cons: Only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 eggs is you have to be within 8 or 10 feet to use the remote control.

This review is from: RCA ANT111 Indoor Passive Antenna
Pros: It's just plug and play. If there is a broadcast in your area it will pick it up.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I researched this inexpensive unit and found it does just as good a job as the more expensive brands so I decided to order it.
It took me 5 minutes to plug it in and it's all the reviewers said it was. A great Antenna at a low price.
This review is from: netTALK DUO VOIP Telephone free USA and Canada Calling
Pros: Low Price, Clarity is great and it works perfect with no lag in dialing etc....
Cons: Non so far
Other Thoughts: I had Vonage for years and didn't realize Vonage had a usage limit of 3,000 minutes per month. That is the same limit of 3,000 minutes for NetTalk. I was paying $35 a month for that Vonage. Then I switched to Century Link because it was less expensive with a bundled internet package but the line quality of Century Link was really bad. I had techs come out and check the phone lines twice. Finally I decided to take a chance on NetTalk.
I installed it in about 5 or 10 minutes. Worked perfect the first time and clarity of voice is better better than Vonage and Light Years better than Century Link.
Last.... I called Century link to drop my phone line... They tried to give me some good pricing but I said no. Then they said "Well, we want you to keep your DSL line so instead of charging you $50 per month we are only going to charge you $24.95 per month! They gave me an offer I couldn't refuse!
