Our View
The stars of paranormal reality shows root around in dark basements, attics, cemeteries and other creepy haunts where alleged specters lurk in the mist. The evidence of apparitions comes in the form of barely audible and unintelligible recordings and phantom images on video.
The techniques used by the U.S. Department of Labor to find the 1,000 or so "ghost" workers it says were cheated out of wages by Oregon blueberry growers produced little more credible evidence of their existence.
In 2012 the department forced, under the threat of losing their crop, three blueberry producers to admit to wage and hour violations.
The department claimed many piece-rate tickets — which are used to tally each picker's harvest amounts — actually represented the production of two or more workers.
The growers paid $210,000 in alleged back wages the department said was owed to more than 1,000 workers who weren't on the books.
According to documents obtained by the Oregon Farm Bureau, the department put the word out through area churches and gathering spots, the Mexican consulate and Spanish-language radio that it was looking for people who had worked for the growers and were paid less than minimum wage. It also had access to workers when it visited the growers during the harvest.
But despite an extensive search effort that offered pickers the prospect of an unexpected payday, only 21 of these alleged ghost workers have been located.
It's unclear what proof of their unrecorded employment the 21 were required to produce. Also unclear is how the department determined the amount of their back wages — $22,000 in total. At that rate, the pay-outs would far exceed the amount extorted from the growers if all the imagined ghost workers materialized.
We think this raises serious questions about the accuracy of the department's allegations.
If the ghost workers did exist, wouldn't hearing their colleagues were paid, on average, more than $1,000 each bring more of them to life? If the department really thought it would find anything close to 1,000 underpaid pickers, would it have paid 2 percent of them more than 10 percent of the money?
Maybe. Flawed government math is at the heart of the controversy.
Labor officials relied on a statistical analysis of berry harvests that denied the proven ability of experienced workers to pick more than 55.5 pounds of berries an hour. In their minds, no one could pick any more than that without help.
Objective evidence proves otherwise, and the department's own disbursal of the money suggests it believes some workers pick more than others. The facts don't support the bureaucratic narrative that Oregon blueberry growers are engaged in wholesale wage and hour abuses.
As do paranormal investigators on TV, labor officials say their failure to find the ghosts is no proof that they don't exist. That they claim to have found a handful — unidentified and undocumented — fails to prove the allegations.

Court of Common Pleas
The Courts of Common Pleas are the trial courts of Pennsylvania. Major civil and criminal cases are heard in these courts. Judges also decide cases involving adoption, divorce, child custody, abuse, juvenile delinquency, estates, guardianships, charitable organizations and many other matters. The Common Pleas courts are organized into 60 judicial districts. Bucks County, Pennsylvania Genealogy County has its own judicial district. Judges of the Common Pleas courts are elected to 10-year terms. A president judge and a court administrator serve in each judicial district.[5]
Clerk of the Courts
The Clerk of Courts prepares and maintains the records for the Criminal Division of the Court of Common Pleas. The Clerk signs and affixes the Seal of the Courts to all writs and processes, administers oaths and affirmations, and assumes custody of the seal and records of the Courts. The Clerk certifies and distributes orders of the Court. The Clerk also certifies and prepares bills of costs for the defendants and utilizes the computerized financial management system to disburse fines, costs and restitution.[6] For the Bucks County, Pennsylvania Genealogy Clerk of Courts address see the Courthouse section on this page.

Orphan's Court (see Vital Records)
See Vital Records
The Orphans' Court is responsible for a wide range of matters. The name of the Court is derived from the more general definition of "orphan," that being a person or thing that is without protective affiliation or sponsorship. This would include those not capable of handling their own affairs, minors, incapacitated persons, decedents estates, nonprofit corporations and trusts. It is the role of the Court to ensure that the best interests of the person or entity are not compromised.
It is believed the name of this court was borrowed from the Court of Orphans of the city of London, England which had the care and guardianship of children of deceased citizens, in their minority.[7]

Vital records are handled by the County Orphans' Court. Between the years 1852-1855 Pennsylvania made a failed attempt to record birth, marriage and death events at the county level. While the records for that time period are available, there were few events recorded. County marriage records were kept in earnest in 1885. Births and deaths, at the county level, were begun in 1893 and kept through 1905. Abstracts and copies of vital records are available for some counties, but most are incomplete. For the most complete set of records, always contact the County Orphans' Court.
Early births 1893–1905 are located at the County Orphans' Court. See the heading Court Records on this page for contact information.
Indexes for Pennsylvania birth records are available through the Department of of Health for 1906 and 1907. Once an individual is located in the index a non certified Birth certificate can be obtained by writing and sending $3.00 to:

Mr Intelijent Master Friday 30/09/2011, 04:07
This is the long anticipated DT Guide. I have won DTs in both formats so should know what I am talking about.
These rules apply for both formats.
1.In DT there are two types of decks that generally see great results. The high damaging deck and the low star deck. A High damage deck is one where you will get at least two 6 damaging cards half the time or more. A low star deck in Type 1 Is a deck with less than 23 stars while in Type 2 it is usually a 9 – 10 card deck which is under 27 stars.
2.Normally I say to include these cards but not this time, Damage Reducers, Heal Cards and + Life cards will slow you down. Try not to include them in your deck and if you must then make it 1 Max.
3.Rule 2 being said, Jungo, Pussycats and Sakrohm will generally slow you down and dramatically lower your chances in any format. Recommended you do not use these clans even in half deck.
4.Try and go mono (1 Clan) as this will make your deck stronger. Sometimes the difference between winning and losing is drawing a 3/1 split and not getting the bonus you wanted or needed. La Junta and Montana are good examples for this. That rule only applies for the Low star deck. If you are going for the High Damage deck then using two clans will be the best way. A good example of this would be Bangers with All Stars or Uppers.
Mr Intelijent Master Friday 30/09/2011, 04:39
5. Don't use too many Permanently Banned Cards. These cards give you a 2 point penalty and if you use too many then the scores add up and you can lose 8 points in some circumstances. Also if you feel the need to include a Permanently Banned Card make sure they are game changing. Zatman is a great card, he truly is but with that 2 point penalty he is basically a 4 star in DTs which he would just make him average. Only use a Permanently Banned Card if you feel they should be a star above what they currently are. For Example Jackie CR is easily better then Dorian and Herman so she would be a good choice for DTs. I know this rule may be a bit confusing but note that Temporarily Banned Cards do not have a penalty.
6.Play quick. It is very simple, play fast, win faster or lose faster and join a match faster and gain points faster. A tip for this is after a match is over, pressing enter repeatedly is a much quicker way of leaving back to the room and starting a new battle. It can save you minutes in the end which in DT time is a lot.
Mr Intelijent Master Friday 30/09/2011, 05:08
7.Don't Forfeit! If you have a terribly weak hand. Let's say Samantha, Wendel, Bianka and Burt and you are versing Dj Korr Cr, Rowdy, Tremorh and Gibson then you have two options, either you all pill your 2 star against their Dj Korr Cr (It will give you 8 points) and then you quickly lose, or you just no pill twice and get quickly 2HKO'd. Quitting does not achieve anything, you lose 20 points and then you're down by a match. Either all pill with your lowest star for decent points or no pill and lose as quickly as you can,
8.Relax, these DTs are extremely stressful if you are winning or in the top 10. Best bet is to just stay calm, I personally do not even look at my points during a DT because once you see your name as first or close behind first you panic, you're not yourself and you will mess up sooner or later. Listen to your favourite music, try and relax and if you panic easily don't view your score.
9.Try different decks, I won my first DT with Taham and Mickey T. Doing that now a days is basically impossible so don't be afraid to change your deck, different cards work for different people. I used to win a lot with Uppers now I can't but I can win with La Junta and Sentinels, your style will change over time and if you are not having any luck with one deck, change to a different one. Although you should use your deck at least 5 times because it takes that long to get the hang of it.
fisheatdog Imperator Organized Konfusion Friday 30/09/2011, 05:44
Yay, dt guide! i would also say that playing at odd hours is a nice way to start. its much easier to get top 10, and you end up making more clintz than say if you played at a time when everyone is on and come top 25. it also just feels better.
what's your opinion on using leaders? with the elo bans is it worth playing hugo + attack manip clan?

Mr Intelijent Master Friday 30/09/2011, 11:06
@ Medivh Vickie Cr is pretty good, I would use her if I hadn't sold her.
@ fisheatdog I would have to say I am against leaders, They can work and if you find a way to fit them in your deck then good for you but I would tend to sway away from them personally. If you use a low star deck they ruin your point scoring and if you use a high damage deck then leaders will also damage it because of their penalty and you generally can't 2hko with leaders that easily.
kEv13villegas Novice Friday 30/09/2011, 15:50
When you say temporarily banned cards those that include the staff banned or just the player voted banned.?

I think it is important to list some of the database use cases and the several apps we require:
- Dcarr alike satellite status reporting
- Overview of active satellites including frequencies and modulation types
- IARU coordination data
- Machine readable output for software
- Tracking app on website
- list of decoders / modems etc
- list of central warehouses
We are already discussing several aspects in several topics, and some people already started writing the database scheme. Now we need to extend this and implement some of it.
Please add to the list. We can discuss later what we will focus on.
I know that the tracking app, database scheme and JSON/XML format have been described in some way, shape or form.

When I applied to graduate school I didn't know which subfield of English I would choose for my area of specialization. Contemporary British literature drew me, but so did early American literature. As a high school student, and then again in college, I had gone to England to study, and in my mid-twenties I went back there to work. England felt like my second home, more familiar to me than most of the United States.
A two-month road trip on my way to graduate school changed that. Traveling over the Rockies and through the Great Plains, down the Mississippi River Road, and across the Deep South, criss-crossing the States from the Okefenokee Swamp to Lake Itasca, I felt as though I were seeing this strange and beautiful country for the first time. As a scholar, I value the way literature, too, offers new ways of seeing and thinking about the world. As a teacher, I want my classes to open up new ways of "reading" the American experience, and the human experience, through literary texts.
My first book, In the Company of Books (2006), grew out of several years I spent working in the publishing business during my twenties. Trying to figure out which books to publish and how to get the right books into the right hands made me wonder how authors and publishers in nineteenth-century America dealt with similar challenges. In this book, I analyzed American fiction within the context of nineteenth-century publishing practices. In the Company of Books also gave me the opportunity to explore the growth of children's literature, a subject I first taught more than a decade ago as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Carleton College and continue to teach regularly at Marquette.
My second book, Right Here I See My Own Books (January 2012), is coauthored by Wayne A. Wiegand, an eminent library historian and Professor Emeritus of Florida State University. The book revolves around the World's Columbian Exposition (the 1893 Chicago World's Fair) and a landmark collection of women's writing that was displayed there. By donating royalties to the fledgling National Women's History Museum, Professor Wiegand and I hope to emphasize the continuity between this late nineteenth-century cultural watershed and the current, ongoing effort, more than a century later, to establish a permanent museum of women's history in Washington, DC.
My works-in-progress range across the centuries and overseas, from the eighteenth-century Atlantic World to Henry James's Rome. Together with Marija Dalbello, Associate Professor of Library and Information Science at Rutgers University, I am also planning a coedited collection that will explore the contributions of the twenty-one foreign countries that helped create the Woman's Building Library at the World's Columbian Exposition.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Nursing Home Facility in Mountain Home, Arkansas Fired Employee in Retaliation for Engaging in Protected Activity, Federal Agency Charges
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. – A Mountain Home, Arkansas based company that operates a nursing home and rehabilitation facility violated federal law by discriminating against an employee because she complained about the hiring of a manager who had sexually harassed her at a previous employer, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today. The employee also placed Mountain Home on notice that she had filed a charge of discrimination against her previous employer over the sexual harassment.
The EEOC's suit, Civil Action No. 3:11-CV-03089-JLH, filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Harrison Division, asserts that Care Manor Healthcare, LLC, doing business as Care Manor Nursing Home, violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it terminated Frances Guthrie, who worked for Care Manor at its nursing home and rehabilitation facility in Mountain Home, Arkansas, because she engaged in protected activity.
The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The agency's lawsuit seeks monetary relief in the form of back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, reinstatement and an injunction against future discrimination, among other items.
"The company terminated Ms. Guthrie after she made a statutorily protected complaint," said Katharine W. Kores, district director of the EEOC's Memphis District Office, which has jurisdiction over Arkansas, Tennessee and portions of Mississippi. "This type of blatant retaliation is a priority for the EEOC. Employers cannot engage in such retaliatory acts, which prevent workers from engaging in their federally protected right of filing a charge with the EEOC."
Care Manor Healthcare, LLC, is a limited liability company based in Melbourne, Arkansas. The company operates a facility in Mountain Home, Arkansas under the name Care Manor Nursing Home that provides long term care and short term rehabilitation services to patients.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Press Release
April 21, 2014
On April 17, 2014, a jury found a 62-year-old Anchorage man guilty of sexually abusing his 4-year-old granddaughter in 2011. The defendant's name is not being revealed to protect the identity of his victim granddaughter.
The defendant permitted his homeless adult daughter and her young children to live with him at an apartment in Anchorage. Because the defendant had previously sexually abused another young girl in the family, the adult daughter was worried that the defendant would sexually abuse the 4-year-old.
On September 29, 2011, the adult daughter called 911 to report that she had seen the defendant sexually abuse the 4-year-old. The case was referred to the Anchorage Police Department Crimes Against Children Unit and the Office of Children's Services for investigation.
The defendant was found guilty of one count of sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree. The defendant faces a sentence of 99 years in prison as a result of this conviction. Sentencing is scheduled for August 15, 2014, before Anchorage Superior Court Judge Philip Volland.
CONTACT: Assistant District Attorney Jonas Walker @ (907) 269-6300 at the Anchorage District Attorney's Office.

Death by chocolate? Well, maybe not so. You may have heard that there is a saving grace in that luxurious, seemingly sinful, guilty pleasure called chocolate. Well, here's the latest scoop but I've kept it kiddie size.
Chocolate goodness starts as a sparkle in a cacao tree's eye. Cacao beans are carefully fermented, as they have been for thousands of years, to yield the less bitter, much better tasting cocoa. Now, the next steps are what make it or break it for the health-promoting goodness of your favorite chocolate delight. Dairy fat and sugar can be added in varying amounts by our 'friends' in the food industry changing the balance of power from the healing cocoa to the dangerous effects of the refined sugar and hydrogenated fats and oils.
So, the more pure the cocoa stays, the better it wards off high blood pressure and insulin resistance (conditions that 40% of American adults have and don't even know about most likely). The best advice is to select dark chocolates with a minimum of 70% cocoa and chocolates that list cocoa or chocolate as the first ingredient, and not sugar! Also, since both white and milk chocolate have dairy fat added to the chocolate, the amount of goodness (polyphenols) in a given amount of chocolate gets diluted and the amount of saturated fat, of course, goes up.
Now, I know I did title the post so that I would be able to rationalize your chocolate, but remember balance is key. As with any energy-dense food, cocoa and its derivatives should be eaten in moderation. So, enjoy one ounce of dark chocolate a day and here's a tip to make it last. Take your rich piece of 70%+ cocoa goodness and place it on your tongue and press it to the roof of your mouth. Then, let it just sit there and feel how your brain becomes saturated with the flavor of the overwhelming chocolaty taste. Do not try to chew, bite, nibble or inhale any bit of this piece of chocolate. Otherwise, your brain won't have it's time to get its chocolate fill. Once you complete your mission, you might just notice that you don't need more because you just took care of business (health and craving) in just a few pleasurable minutes!

JACKSON, Miss. -- A federal appeals court has upheld the more than 14-year sentence George Coe Jr. received for his role in a telemarketing scam case in Mississippi.
Coe was sentenced in 2011 after pleading guilty in U.S. District Court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Prosecutors said the scam targeted senior citizens around the country, telling them they had won cash prizes but had to pay taxes and fees to claim the money.
Prosecutors said the scam netted tens of thousands of dollars from victims in California, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire and Vermont. Some of the money made its way to Mississippi.
According to court records, Coe was the seventh person to plead guilty in the case.
Coe did not challenge his guilty plea in his appeal. Instead, he argued that his sentence was too harsh.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled against Coe.
U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock sentenced Coe to 14 years and seven months in prison.
"Coe has not demonstrated error, plain or otherwise, with respect to his argument that the court imposed his sentence on the basis of clearly erroneous facts," the three-judge panel said.
Authorities said the scam began with a call to tell victims they had won a large cash prize. The victims then were told to wire money to cover fees and taxes on the supposed prize. The money was often shifted around the country by members of the scheme.
The scam usually got about $2,800 to $2,900 per payment; five people paid more than once, according to a 13-count indictment. A woman in California allegedly sent more than $12,000 in three payments.

Parent Directory | Revision Log | Revision Graph

|Sticky Tag:
Merge automake into head
Changes to use automake
- Added dynamic colors and strings for more flexibility in visual representations of the tree. - Added keyword rev_idtext to define the revision ID in a revision box. Normally this would show the revision number, but can now be changed dynamically. - Fix dashed lines when stripped revisions have mergepoints attatched
Implemented multiple regex match for triplets merge_{from,to,color} so that merges can be detected with more disjoined tag definitions.
Fix total branch-count when branches are folded.
Added patch from Gordon Hollingworth <Gordon.Hollingworth {at} TTP.com> to use mergepoints as implemented by CVSNT. Adapted the patch to enable both tag-detected merges and mergepoints to be shows at the same time.
- Added drawing of partial trees. You now can select a subtree based on a revision number, branch number or symbolic tag to show only that part of the tree. New config option branch_subtree selects which part is shown. If the subtree is empty, then the whole tree is shown. - Most error and warning messages are now displayed in the graph, instead of being written to stderr. This enables you to see an image eventhough errors might be present. The old method would generate a corrupt image. New configuration options include msg_color and msg_font to control the looks of it. Messages are always printed at the bottom of the image. - Fixed a bug in the folding code where subtrees would not fold correctly. - Added diff links in the map-generation for detected merges so that you can get the differences in merge-operations. The options map_merge_href and map_merge_alt must be set accordingly.
Implement tag-ignoring on basis of a regular expression
Fix the author recognition for CVSNT with broken rcsfile(5) format. This might not be a total remedy, but should fix some.
- Fixed a bug in the initial placing of left to right displaying. - Half-fixed a bug in the kerning code, where a loop-safeguard was triggered way too soon (at 100 iterations). This has now been changed to 10000, but should be dependent on the number of drawable branches, as the function is _at least_ order O(N^2). However, more analysis is required to ensure safe guarding under all circumstances. - Implemented folding of empty branches. Many uses of CVS create many branches on the same revision but have no commits on them. This occurs often with stable files like .cvsignore files and the like. A new configuration option branch_fold enables imaging consequtive brances with no commits in the same branch-box. This reduces images by a huge factor (28000x1700 -> 2100x2300, i.e. a factor of 10). It also speeds up drawing considerably. The branch_fold option is *on* by default. - Fix duplicate branch-boxes (branch_dupbox=true). No duplicates should be created if there are no commits on a specific branch. There is no reason for having two boxes on top of each other.

- add merge visualization - Provide solution for possible XSS bug in tag expansions
- Added a new version of auto_stretch. It seems to work better bit it still needs improvement (a lot) - Added TrueType support. This solves also a problem of missing libraries if libgd needs -lttf or -lfreetype.
Major code update to enable some more features. The new formatting scheme is not yet 100%. This should be close to version 1.2.0.
- Updated the docu a bit - Renamed the branch_mirror to branch_dupbox which is more appropriate - strip_untagged displays now draw dashed connector lines to indicate a jump
- Fixed path problems. Cvsroot and module will always have a trailing '/' if they are not empty so that simple files can be addressed directly from the commandline. This also eases expansions. - Implemented new features: * revisions can have custom text * background colors of boxes working * boxes can have shadow (looks nice) * imagemaps generate diff areas between revisions - Several new config parameters to support above functionality.
Major update of the code. - Complete new method of getting the revision structure by directly reading the rcs/cvs file. This should also speed things a bit because no external program needs to be called anymore. This also means that "remote-graphs" are no longer a possible extension of the program. But, who cares. - Implemented branch-kerning to save place. The images are now much smaller in width, dependent on the settings of the exterior margins. - Fixed disjoint braches by reading the structure direct from the rcs/cvs file. The revision/branch structure is no longer determined from the revision numbers, but solely from the rcs/cvs file structure. - Fixed display of branches with no revisions attached to them. These only have a tag describing the new branch.
This form allows you to request diffs between any two revisions of this file. For each of the two "sides" of the diff, select a symbolic revision name using the selection box, or choose 'Use Text Field' and enter a numeric revision.
