FRA has received written comments submitted by interested parties related to various parts of the NPRM and a written request for a hearing on the NPRM. The purpose of the public hearing is to permit the exchange of information and concerns regarding FRA's proposed amendments. The public hearing is meant to allow interested parties to fully develop and articulate the issues and concerns they have with the NPRM so that these concerns can be fully addressed in any final rule that is developed. Interested parties are invited to present oral statements and proffer evidence at the hearing. The hearing will be informal and will be conducted by a Start Printed Page 72441representative designated by FRA in accordance with FRA's Rules of Practice (49 CFR 211.25). The hearing will be non-adversarial proceeding; therefore, there will be no cross examination of persons presenting statements or proffering evidence. An FRA representative will make an opening statement outlining the scope of the hearing. After all initial statements have been completed, those persons wishing to make a brief rebuttal will be given the opportunity to do so in the same order in which the initial statements were made. Additional procedures, as necessary for the conduct of the hearing, will be announced at the hearing.
On December 18, 2008, the comment period for the NPRM will reopen for thirty (30) days so that the FRA can make the public hearing transcript available for review and comment by the general public, interested parties can provide additional comments and documents related to the NPRM, and interested parties can provide responses to matters that arise at the public hearing.
Public Participation Procedures
Any person wishing to participate in the public hearing should notify the FRA Docket Clerk by mail at the address or by fax at the number provided in the ADDRESSES section at least five (5) working days prior to the date of the hearing and submit three copies of the oral statement that he or she intends to make at the proceeding. The notification should identify the party the person represents, and the particular subject(s) the person plans to address. The notification should also provide the FRA Docket Clerk with the participant's mailing address and other contact information. FRA reserves the right to limit participation in the hearings of persons who fail to provide such notification.

Dylan & Levi
Easy-going but hard to tell apart – twins Dylan and Levi were born with a double dose of heart trouble. Just hours old, they came to Children's Hospital and Medical Center.
Complete Story
The NICU at Children's Hospital & Medical Center practices a philosophy of care that is family centered and developmentally supportive to meet the unique individual needs of each infant.
Typically, parents may lose some sense of control when their babies are in the NICU. However, with family-centered care, we involve parents in everyday care-giving by encouraging them to perform tasks such as diaper changes, bottle-feeding, participating in kangaroo care and providing comfort measures when the baby is in distress.
In addition, our unit has been designed to support the developmental needs of premature infants by perfecting the environmental variables and science of nursing care to provide optimal support of their needs. Seeking to mirror the womb for these young preterm infants, our unit minimizes outside stimuli, uses gentle-touch interventions, pain control and other comfort measures such as swaddling and containment to support a baby during care and at rest. Our staff promotes family bonding and participation in everyday care giving. Each infant (unless sharing with a twin sibling) has his own room; sound level is kept at a minimum; dimmers are used as well as indirect lighting, filtered shades and darkened rooms at night. Overnight accommodations also are available for parents.
Our comprehensive approach to care is developmentally supportive and individualized to an infant's goals and level of stability so that each infant may realize optimal health outcomes. Research shows that babies who receive individualized developmental care have improved growth and weight gain, decreased days on the ventilator, decreased severity of lung disease and fewer medical complications as well as shorter length of stays. Additional research on long-term outcomes has shown that babies also show better intellectual processing and improved neuropsychological functioning at later ages.

A presentation in the Print Gallery
Abraham Bosse was a French artist of German origin. He was born around 1603 in Tours. Bosse is principally known for the large number of etchings he made, circa 1,600 in total. Many of these were intended as illustrations for books, but he also sold them separately.
Bosse made series of prints in which he illustrated episodes from Bible stories or other moralistic tales. In the manner in which he depicted these scenes as everyday, almost trivial situations, he was influenced by Dutch and Flemish art. The setting, however, is clearly French, and his preference, respectively that of his clientele, was for the higher social milieus. This combination makes his work extremely original. One striking aspect is the close attention he pays to clothing, a characteristic he may have inherited from his father, who was a tailor. Bosse died in Paris in 1676.
The Groninger Museum has several dozen etchings by Bosse in its collection. A representative selection has been made for this presentation in the Print Gallery.

Edward de Bono, the guru of creative thinking, has been called in by the Foreign Office to help sort out the Arab-Israeli conflict. Ever willing to help, he has conjured up a solution straight from a jar - Marmite.
The celebrated master of lateral thinking is promoting supplies of the yeast extract spread as the means to resolve the region's seemingly intractable problems.
The logic, briefly, is this. A lack of zinc makes men irritable and belligerent. You get zinc in yeast, which is fine for your average lover of Mother's Pride. But in the Middle East, the bread is unleavened. Ergo, the great man says, Marmite is the answer to easing the way to peace.
Dr de Bono gave two lectures to the Foreign Office last week. The first was open to several hundred officials at all levels and was packed out. For the second, the Middle East team won a bid for a special dedicated session.

I've been thinking more about this and wondered about human noses? They do seem to be a unique shape among mammals (can't think of any others myself anyway and certainly not among primates) They also seem to be suited to a semi-aquatic life. Do any of the theories mention this?
The visible part of the human nose is the protruding part of the face that bears the nostrils. The shape of the nose is determined by the ethmoid bone and the nasal septum, which consists mostly of cartilage and which separates the nostrils.
A similar protuberance to the human nose is not present in the apes. Despite its size the human nose is less able to smell than an ape's nose, so another purpose has been proposed in the aquatic ape hypothesis.
This theory provides a potential explanation for the hooded nose and philtrum[1]. The hooded nose in the human species is seen as an adaptation that prevents water from entering the nasal passage while swimming. Several people have also reported an ability to block their nostrils completely with the philtrum. This would have been a further useful adaptation for a diving species, though millennia of living on dry land means that this adaptation has not been retained by all people. The time of the appearance of the nose in human evolution is not known. The nasal spine bone is a late adaptation and may have reinforced pre-existing cartilage which does not fossilize.
The philtrum (Greek philtron (φιλτρον), from philein (φιλειν), "to love; to kiss"), also known as the infranasal depression, or Bruce's Fossa is the vertical groove in the upper lip, formed where the nasomedial and maxillary processes meet during embryonic development.

I think it would be more prudent to try to establish the facts and not shoe-horn them into a desired outcome.

You sweat, and you piss like a racehorse - These are silly traits to evolve in an environment where water is at a premium. Most savannah animals have highly-developed functions within the kidney that remove water from urine, making it extremely concentrated. Humans have a far inferior form of this. And naturally, none of these comparative animals sweat. In addition, you need more water in a day than would be reasonable for an animal your size, because of the body's inefficiency in managing it.
Its known that sea level and rainfall patterns change relatively rapidly over time - the most recent ice age is a perfect example with sea level hundreds of feet lower and the Sahara a verdant grassland.
If we ever did live semi-aquatically, the evidence could be on the continental shelf hundreds of miles offshore, or in a place no one would ever think to look

Its an old theory... I was heavily reading Anthropology and Archeology as a teen in the early 70's (I was a strange kid ) and that is when I first came across the theory and it makes as much sense as any other I've heard... and in some ways far more than the needing to stand to look out for danger on the savannah theory. After all modern apes who live on or near the savannah will its true stand and look around but they continue to walk on their knuckles.

TLMOE Thanks for the reply,I've never looked at this aspect before...and I do piss like a racehorse.
Its been said that, if we did live semi-aquaticaly, then any defining evidence would not be found where anthropologists are currently looking.

The argument against the aquatic ape theory is to point out that the Japanese Macque are quite aquatic in their behaviour and still don't walk upright... but then again perhaps they haven't been at it as long.
In 1979, during a 14-month stay at the Arashiyama macaque study site, Michael Huffman, a primatologist at the Primate Research Institute (PRI) at Kyoto University, noticed one female monkey playing with stones. "I had never seen, or heard about, anything like it. It was like a child playing with building blocks."
When Huffman returned to the site a few years later in 1983 he was astounded by what he saw. "Half the group was playing with stones, banging them on nearby roofs and making a total racquet," said Huffman. "I couldn't understand why a behavior that seemed to have no adaptive significance—it didn't provide an edge for survival or reproduction—could spread through a group and be maintained in a society for so long."
The great innovator within the Koshima troop was a one-and-a-half year old infant female named Imo. In 1953, Imo was the first to begin washing the sweet potatoes. She passed the behavior to her mother and it slowly began to spread. A decade later, potato washing had become a fixed behavior in the troop. Most newborns picked up the skill quickly. By 1962, about three quarters of Koshima monkeys over two years old washed their food.
Imo's second feat of genius was to develop a method for sorting wheat from sand. Imo discovered that rather than eat the wheat handouts grain by grain, a mixture of wheat and sand could be dropped in water allowing the wheat to float and the sand to sink. Within several years many of the younger monkeys practiced this behavior.
When behaviors or innovations are adopted by other members of the group, passing from parent to offspring, infant to parent, or adult-to-adult, a "culture" or tradition is born, said Satoshi Hirata, a primatologist and a colleague of Huffmans at PRI.
"Culture and innovation are often ways of adapting to environmental changes, or a response to a change in lifestyle," said Huffman, who studies both chimpanzee and macaque behavior.
Japanese macaques are the most northerly-living non-human primate, living in mountainous areas of Honshu, Japan. They survive winter temperatures below -15 degrees Centigrade, and keep warm in naturally heated volcanic springs.

Geology Of Coal-Bearing Palaeogene Sediments, Onshore Torquay Basin, Victoria

Journal Article: Geology Of Coal-Bearing Palaeogene Sediments, Onshore Torquay Basin, Victoria
AbstractNew mapping at Anglesea coal mine, and coal resource and deep groundwater drilling have provided new perspectives on the economically important Eastern View Group coal-bearing sedimentary succession in the onshore Torquay Basin. In the Anglesea Syncline, the upper 35 m-thick brown-coal seam of the Eastern View Group is overlain by a low-angle unconformity, Units overlying the coal seams include high-energy, cross-cutting sand channels of the Boonah Formation and lower energy channel and interchannel systems of the overlying Salt Creek and Anglesea Formations. The mine section can be correlated from borehole data with the Eastern View Group and Demons Bluff Group exposed in coastal cliff sections along the adjacent Anglesea to Torquay coast. Recently drilled coal and groundwater exploration bores provide new data on the extent of the coal measures in the Anglesea area, and details of the underlying Tertiary succession that include typical Otway Basin units such as the Pember Mudstone and Pebble Point Formations. The stratigraphy below the coal measures suggests that the Otway Ranges were not present during Polaeogene times. The rank of the brown coals on and around the Otway Ranges is higher than any other Tertiary coals in onshore Victoria, and they preserve similar patterns of rank distribution to the high-rank black coals in the underlying Lower Cretaceous Otway Group. Evidence for large overburden thicknesses is lacking, and the high ranks may have been augmented by higher than normal geothermal gradients in the Early Tertiary. Comparisons between the observed depositional cycles, sequence-stratigraphic cycles, and worldwide coastal onlap curves suggest that the observed disconformity boundaries are sequence boundaries that provide a chronostratigraphic framework. Sequences present may include TB4.1-4.5 in the overburden units, and TB 2.4-3.6 in the coal-bearing interval.

Job descriptions should contain information about key job responsibilities, where the job holder will work, what the formal job title is and to whom the job holder will report, according to American Express. It is important for job descriptions to be detailed without being overwhelming, so it is a good idea to use bullet points to outline between five and 10 key job responsibilities within the job description. Additionally, the job description should give the reader a good idea of the day-to-day responsibilities of the position in addition to high-level goals.Continue Reading
Key responsibilities should be described as short phrases that focus on action verbs pertaining to job activities. It is not necessary to use complete sentences for this part of the job description. However, other parts of the job description, such as a written job overview, should be written in a few concise but complete sentences.
Job descriptions should also outline an ideal candidate's qualifications, including their level of education and essential technical skills, as reported by the HR Daily Advisor. It is also a good idea to include any special requests in a job description, including whether a position requires the ability to travel, lift heavy objects, operate specialized machinery, cope with extreme temperatures or work nonstandard hours.Learn more about Applying & Interviewing

Congress at its last session author
ized the construction of twq 'addi
tional new cruisers and two gunboats,
at a cost not exceeding in the aggre
gate $2,995,000. The appropriation
for this purpose having become
available on the first day of July
last,-eteps were at once taken for the
procurement of such plans for the
construction of these vessels as would
be likely to insure their usefulness
when completed. These are of the
utmost importance, considering the
constant advance in the art of build
ing vessels of this character, and the
time. is not lost which is spent in
their careful consideration and selec
tion. All must admit
to-a nation like ours, having such an
extended sea coast to protect, and
yet we have not a single vessel of
war that could keep the seas against
a first class vessel of any important
power; such a condition ought not
longer to contiue T}e_nation that
t ano t g essRon is cons;aitly
iee to it. Its foreign policy"is
of necesiAf weak, and its negotia
tions are conducted with disadvant
age be'ease;itis not in a condition
to enforee the rms dictated by its
sinew of right and justice. Inspired
as Inam by the hope showed by all
patriotic citizens that the day is not
very far distant when our navy will
bi sac hsb.odnetndingsmno
the nations of the earth and rejoiced
at every step that leads in the direc
tion of such a consummation.
I deem it my duty to especially
direct attention of Congress to the
close of the report of the Secretary
of the Navy in which the humiliating
weakness of the present organization
of his department is exhibited and
the startling abuses and waste of its
present,wethods are expressed. The
conviction is forced upon us with the
certainty of mathematical demonstra
tioni that before we proceed further
in the restoration of. a navy we need
a thoroughly reorganized Navy De
partmnent. The fact that within sev
enteen years more than seventy-five
millions of dollars have been spent
in construction, repairs, equipments,
and armament of vessels, and the
further fact that instead of an effective
and creditable fleet, we have only the1
discontent and apprehension of a
nation undefended by war vessels,
which added to the disclosures now
made, do not permit us to doubt that 1
every attempt to revive our navy has
this far, for the most part, been mis
directed, and all our efforts in that
direction have been little better than1
blind groping and expensive aimless
Unquestionably, if we are content
with the maintenance of a navy de
partmnent simply as a shabby orn a
mnent to the governmient, a constant
watchfulness may prevent some of
the scandal and abuse which have
found their way into our present or
ganization and its incurable wastes
Imay, be reduced to the minimum, but
if we desire to build ships for present
usefulness instead of naval remind2ers
of the days that are passed, we must
have a department organized for the
work, suppalied with all the talant and
ugniyour country affords, pre
pared to take ad.vantage of the expe
rience of other nations, systemnatized
so that all effort shall unite and-leadi
in one direction -and fully imbued
with the conviction, that war vessels,
though new are useless, unless they
combine all that the ingeuity of man
has up to this day brought forth re-i
lating to their construction. I earn
estly co-nmend this portion of the
Secretary's report devoted to tis
subject to the attention of Congress
in tfie hope that his suggestions
touching the reorganization of -his
department may be adopted as the
first step toward the reconstrurtion of
on: navy.
The affairs of the postal service are

Whatever may be
fled that it should not be done under

as to the recipients of the subsidy,

gifts of the public money are to be
made for the purpose of aiding any
enterprise in the supposed interest of

the amount to be paid, and the bene:
ficiary, might be better determined
by Congress than in any other way.
The international congress of del

February last, and after a session of
some weeks the delegates signed a
convention amendatory of the present

ticulars designed to advance its pur
poses. This additional act has had
my approval and will be laid before
you with the department report. 1
approve the recommendation of the
Postmaster General that another
assistant be provided for his depart
ment. I invite your consideration to
the several other recommendations
contained in his report.
THE JUDIcIARY.
.The reportof the Attorney General
contains a history of the conduct of
the Department of Justice during the
last year and a number of valuable
suggestions as to needed legislation,
and invite your carefnl attention to
the same. The condition of busihess
in the courts of the United States is
such that there seems to be an im
perati""e necessity for remedial legis
lation on the subject. Some-of these
courts are so overburdened with
pending causes that the delays in
determining litigation amount often
to a denial of justice. Among the
plans suggested for relief is one sub.
mitted by the Attorney General.
Its tnain features are the transfer of
all the original jurisdiction of the
Circuit Courts to the District Courts
and. an increase of judges for the
latter where necessary, an addition of
judges to the Circuit Courts, and
constituting them exclusively courts
of-appeal and reasonably limiting
appeals thereto, further restrictions
of the- right to remove causes from
the State to Federal Courts, permit.
ting appeals to the Supreme Courts
from the courts of the District of
Columbia and the Territories only in
the same cases as they -re allcwed
lfrom the State Courts, and g;uarding
~gainst an increasing number of ap.
?eals from the Circuit Courts. I
approve the plan thus outlined, an~d
ecommend the legislation necessary
For its application to our judicial
system. The present work of com-.
ensating United States Marshals
md District Attorneys should, in my
>pion, be changed. They are al
owed to charge against the govern.
nent certain fees for services, their
neome being measu red by the
Lmount of such fees within a fixed
imit as to their annual aggregate.
['his is a direct inducement for them
o make their fees in criminal cases
Ls large as possible, in an effort to
each the maximum sum permitted.
~s an '.:ntirely natural consequence
mscrupulous marshals are foundi
arcouraging- frivolous prosecutions, I
trresting people on p)etty charges of <
rime and transporting them to dis-.
ant places for examination and trial e
or the purpose of earnimg mileage
ndl fees; and district attorneys use- r
essly attend criminal examinations I
ar from their p)laces of residence for
he express purpose of swelling their j
ccounts against the governmnent.ia
he actual expenses incurr-ed in these
ransactions are also charged agrain sfl;
he government. Thus the rights
nd freedom of our citizens are out- t
aged and public expenditures in- t
reased for the purpos of furnishing
ublic officers p)retext for increasing t
be measure of their compensation. n
think marshals and district attor
eyhhol e paid salaries, aidjus
d by' rules, which will make them t
ommnensuraie with services fairly t
endered. In connection with this o
ubject I desire to suggest the ad- n
isability, if it be found not oh:ox- c
us to constitutional objection, ofp
ivesting United States Comnmission- t
rs with the power to try and de
ermine certain violations of lawi
rithin the grade of misdemeanors. c
uchi trials might be madle to dependa
pon the option o1 the accused. The
1ultiplication of small and technical s
Kenses.especially under the provi- t
ions of our internal revenue laws
~ider some change in our present t:
ystem very desirable in the inter-r
sts of humanity as well as economy. r
'he district courts are now crowded It
rith petty prosecutions involving a',
runishmenit in eases of conviction of
nly a slight fine, while the parties y
ecused are harassed by an enforced I
linane upon courts held hun-,
dreds of miles from their homes. If
poor and friendless, they are obliged
to remain in jail during months, per
bsps, that elapse before a session of
the conrt is held and are finally
brought to trial surrounded by stran
gers and with but little real oppor
tunity for defense. In the meantime
frequently the marshal has charged
against the government his fees for
an arrest, the transportation of the
accused and the exrense of the same
and for summoning witnessn before
a commissioner, and district attor
neys have also made their charge
against the government. This abuse
in the administration of our criminal
law should be remedied. and if the
plan herein suggested is not practi
cable, some other should be devised.
THE MoIRMON PROBLE3M.
In the territory of Utah the law of
the United States passed for the sup
pression of polygamy has been ener
getically and faithfully executed du
ring the present year with measurely
good results, a number of convictions
have been secured for unlawful co
habitation, and in some cases pleas
of guilty have been entered and a
slight punishment imposed upon a
promise by the accused that they
would not again offend against the
law nor advise, counsel, aid or abet
in any way its violation by others.
The Utah commissioners express
the opinion based upon such informa
tion as they are able to obtain, that
but few polygamous marriages have
taken place in the. territory during
the last year. They further report
that while there cannot be found up
on the registration lists of voters the
name of a man actually guilty of po
lygamy, and while none of that class
are holding -office, yet at the last
election in the territory all the offi
cers elected except in one county,
were men who, though not actually
living in the practice of polygamy,
subscribe to the doctrine of polyga
mous marriages as a divine revela
tion and a law unto all, higher and
more binding upon the conscience
than any human law, local or nation
al. This is the strange spectacle pre
sented of a community protected by
a Iepublican form of government to
which they owe allegiance, sustaining
by their suffrages a principle and a
b;lief which sets at naught that obli
ation of absolute obedienee to the
aw of the land, which lies at the
oundation of republican institutions.

OV;R AGICIULTURAL INTEREsTs.
The agricultural interest of the
untry demands just recognition
ud liberal encouragement. It sus
dins with certainty andl unfailing
~rength our nation's prosperity by
le products of its steady toil, and
ears its full share of the burden of
nxation without-complaint. Our ag
culturalists have but slight personal
apresentations in the councils of
ie nation and are generally content
'ith the humbler duties of citizen
hip, and willing to trust to the
ounty of nature for a reward of-their
abor, but the magnitude and value
f this industry is appreciated when
the statement is made that of our
total annual exports more than three
fourths are the products of agricul
ture, and of our total population
nearly one half are exclusively en
gaged in that occupation.
The department of Agriculture
was created for the purpose of acqui
ring and diffusing among the people
useful information respecting the
subjects it has in charge, and aiding
in the cause of intelligent and pro
gressive farming by the collection of
statistics by testing the virtue and
usefulness of new seeds and plants
and distributing such as are found
desirable among agriculturalists.
This and other powers and duties
with which this department is invest
ed are of the utmost importance, and,
if wisely executed, must be of great
benefit to the country. The aim of
our beneficent government is th(, im
provement of the people in every
station and the amelioration of their
condition. Surcly our agricultural
ists should not be neglected. The
department established in aid of the
farmers of the land should not only
be well equipped for the accomplish
ment of its purpose,' but those for
whose benefit it has been adapted
should be encouraged to avail them
selves fully of its advantages.
The prohibition of the importation
into several countries of certain of
our animals and their lproducts, based
upon the suspicion that health is en
dangered in their use and consump.
tion suggests the importance of such
precautions for the protection of our
stock of all kinds against disease as
will disarm suspicion' of dcnger and
cause the removal of such an injuri
ons prohibition. If the laws now in
operation are insufficient to accom
plish this protection I recommend
their amendment to meet the neces
sities of the situation, and I commend
to the consideration of Congress the
suggestions contained in the report
of the Commissioner of Agriculture
calculated to increase the value and
efficiency of this department.
The report of the civil service .com
mission, which will be submitted,
contains an account of the manner in
which the civil service law has been
executed during the last year, and
much v:luable information on this
important subject. I am inclined to
think that there is no sentiment more
general in the minds of the people of
our country than a conviction of the
correctness of the principles upon
which the law enforcing civil service
reform is based. In its present con
dlition the law regulates only a part
of the subordinate public positions
t,broug'out tiie country. It aprplies
the test of fitness to applicants for
these places'hy means of a competi
tive examination, and gives large
discretion to the commissioners as to
the character of the examination, and
many other matters connected with
its execution. Thus the rules and
regulatione~ adopted by the commis
sion have much to do with the prac
tical usefulness of the statute, and
with the results of its application.
The people may well trust the Com
mission to execute the law with per
feirness and with as little irritation
as possible. But, of course, no re
laxation of the principle which un
:lerlies it, and no weakening of the
safeguards which surround it, can be
expected. Experience in its admin
istration will probably suggest the
amendment of the methods of its ex
ecution, but I venture to hope that
.ve shall never again be remitted to
the sy-stem which distributes public
positions p)urely as rewards for par
tisan service. Doubts may well be
mntertai ned whether our government
could survive the strain of a continu
anee of this system,' which, upon
every change of administration, in
pires an immense army of claimants
for offce to lay siege to the patron
age of the government, engrossing
the time of public officers with their
reportunitieCs. spread inrg abroad their
contagion of their disappointment
and filling the air with the tumult of
their discontent.
The aliurements of an immense
number of officers and places exhib
ited to the voters of the land, and
the bestowal in recognition of parti
:ari activity, debauches the suffrage
ad robs political action of its thought
'ul and deliberative character. The
evil would increase with the multi
>)lication ot officers consequent upon
our extension and mahiia for office
holding, growing from its indulgence.
.would pervade our population so
enerally that patriotic purpose, the
support of principle, the desire for
the public good and solicitude ?o
te national welfare, woul'
banished from t -.
grace ful str .-de5
of office and public place.
Civil service reform, enforced by
law, came none too soon to check
the progress of demoralization. One
of its effects, not enough regarded,
is the freedom it brings to the politi
cal action of those conservative and
sober men, who, in fear of the confu
sion and risk attending an arbitrary
and sudden change in all the public
offices with a change of party rule,
cast their ballots against such a
change. Parties seem to be neces
sary, and will long continue to exist;
nor can it be now denied that there
are legitimate advantages, not dis
connected with offiee-holding, which
follow party supremacy. While par
tisanship continues bitter and pro
nounced and supplies so much of mo
tive to sentiment and action, it is
not fair to hold public officials in
charge of important trusts responsi
ble for the best results in the per.
formance of their duties and yet in
sist that they shall rely, in confiden
tial and important places, upon the
work of those not only opposed to
them in political affiliation, but ao
steeped in partisan prejudice and
rancor that they have no loyalty to
their chiefs and no -desire .for their
Civil service reform does not ex
act-this, nor-does it require that those
in subordinate positions who fail in
yielding their best service, or who
are incompetent, should be retained
simply because they are in place.
The whining of a .clerk discharged
for insolence or incompetency, who,
though he gained his place by the
worst possible operation of the spoils
system, suddenly discovers that he
is entitled to protection under the
sanction of civil service reform, pre,
sents an idea no less absurd than
the clamor of the applicant who
claims the vacant position as his
compensation for the most question
able party work. The civil service
law does not prevent the discharge of
the indolent or incompetent clerk,
but it does prevent supplying his
place with ti.e unfit party worker.
Thus, in both these phases, is seen
the benefit to the public service, and
the ' eopie who desire good govern
ient having secured this statute,
will not relinquish its benefits with
out protest. Nor are they unmind
ful of the fact that its full advan
tages can only be gained through the
complete good faith of those having
its execution in charge, and this they
will insist upon.
I recommend that the salaries &f
the civil service commissioners be
increased to a sum more nearly com
mensurate to their important duties.
THlE CONGBEsSIONAL LIBRARY.
It is a source of considerable, and
not unnatural, discontent that no ad
equate provision has yet been made
for accommodating the principal li
brary for the government. Of the
vast collection of books and p)amph
lets gathered at the capitol, number-.
ing some 3,700,000, exclusive of man
uscripts, maps and the products of
the graphic arts, also of great. vol
aine and value, only about three hun
:lred thousatnd volumes, or less than
balf the collection are provided with
shelf room. The others which are
ncreasing at the rate of from twenty
Wve to thirty thousand volumes a
ear, are not only in.accessible . to
he public, hut are subject to serious
lamage and deterioration from other
~auses in their p)resent situation. A
~onsideration of the fact that the li
rary of the capitol has twice been
lestroyed or damaged by fire, its
laily increasing value and its imnpor
ance as a place of deposit of books
mnder the law relating to copyright,
nake manifest the necssity of
>romnpt action to insure its proper
recomUmodation and protection.
DIsTRICT OF CoLC3IBIA.

he condition of the law relating to

Foxtrot: "Can't act, slightly bald, also dances".
Photo: Foxtrot's Torsten and Kicki Allander
If you have encountered a wine from Foxtrot Vineyards without knowing the back story, the bear on the label will have puzzled you.
Fortunately, this Naramata Bench winery explains it on its website:
Every year, just in time for harvest, Foxtrot has had a resident Black Bear around the vineyard. Sometimes he has been known to make an appearance at picking time and pickers would comment that it looked like he was dancing when standing up on his hind legs. At the winery we have come to affectionately call him Fred.
When it came time to design our label we enlisted Bernie Hadley Beauregard of Brandever Designs to assist us with coming up with a design. We wanted a label that told our story and conveyed a sense of place. Thus on the front label you will see an image illustrated by Michael Halbert, of our vineyard at harvest time and a bear asking a picking girl to dance the Foxtrot with him, gramophone in hand, harking back to the era the dance was most popular. Many people ask, what does the quote on the back mean?
The Quote: "Can't act, slightly bald, also dances".
The Foxtrot dance made its debut in 1914 and from the late 20's through the 1940s was the most popular fast dance in North America. The vast majority of records during this time were Foxtrots.
In 1933 MGM studios made a musical movie, starring Joan Crawford, called Dancing Lady. For one of the dancing scenes involving the Foxtrot in the movie they loaned a dancer for a few days from neighbouring studio RKO pictures. Of the screen test the tester wrote, "Can't act, slightly bald, also dances". The actor was of course none other than Fred Astaire one of the preeminent and most influential dancers of his time. The picture became a big hit and Fred Astaire went on to have a successful movie career.
The winery is owned by an elegantly-mannered retired pulp and paper engineer, Torsten Allander. In 2002, he and his wife Elisabeth (the family calls her Kicki) retired to a 1.4-hectare (3.5-acre) on Naramata Road planted entirely with Pinot Noir. After selling the grapes to another winery for a few years, Torsten enlisted Lake Breeze Vineyards in 2004 on a three-year winemaking trial with his grapes. "I wanted to convince myself before I invested a lot of money in a winery that we can produce a top wine that can compete on a world level," Torsten recalled.
The acclaim which the initial vintages received left no doubt about the quality of the Foxtrot Pinot Noirs. In 2008, Torsten and his winemaker son, Gustav, built a winery and cellar with the barrel capacity for 2,000 cases of wine. They will need to consider expansion in a few years because, in 2012, Torsten bought an adjoining two hectares (five acres) of orchard. The fruit trees are being replaced with Pinot Noir vines propagated from cuttings of Foxtrot's clone 115 Pinot Noir.
Foxtrot has no tasting room and the wines seldom show up in private wine stores. Those who want to buy a single bottle or two are directed to the Naramata General Store.
Here are notes on the current releases.
Foxtrot Chardonnay 2014 Four Shadows Vineyard ($46.15). This elegant wine begins with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit subtly framed by toasted oak notes. There is a pristine clarity to the fruit, with flavours of lemon and apples and very subtle oak. The wine has good weight, with a rich, almost creamy texture and a persistent finish. 93.
Foxtrot The Waltz Pinot Noir 2013 ($49.50). The Waltz is the winery label for Pinot Noir made with grapes not from the home estate; or from young vines. But do not consider this a lesser wine. It begins with spicy cherry aromas with a slightly volatile lift to the aroma. On the palate there are bright flavours of raspberry and cherry. Decanting hells the wine express its flavours and develop its silky texture. 91.
Foxtrot Pinot Noir 2013 ($57.90). The wine begins with aromas of cherry and raspberry with a slight volatile lift on the spicy nose that makes the wine pop from the glass. On the palate, there are bright flavours of cherry and raspberry mingled with spicy oak. The wine's lush and silky texture is revealed with decanting. The bright acidity adds a tangy note and the assurance that this will age well. 92-94.

Kaanapali Trail is a 4.4 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Lahaina, Hawaii that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

wild flowers
Walked this trail at 6:30 a.m. with a large group of folks with varying ages all the way to Black Rock and back to the Ka'anapali Beach Club. Running or walking shoes are recommended. Mostly exposed to the sun but for a few stretches of shade from trees, so definitely wear a hat and other protective wear if you're sensitive to the sun. Enjoy views of the resorts along the trail, ocean, beach, and take in all that fresh island air.
This is a great walk!
How could it be anything's my but 5 stars when you're running in Maui? Beautiful views and happy faces.
Easy walking trail, as others mentioned better to do early in the morning.
Nice walk
I walked this trail from the south end. It actually continues farther south than the map indicates - to a total of about 3.5 miles one way, 7 miles round trip. I walked to the northern end and then a little farther through the village where I had a nice dinner at Fish Market Maui, then walked back. It took me about 2.5 hours, including half an hour for dinner. The trail is paved, well marked and completely flat. It gets a bit confusing at times where it goes through resorts and intersects with other walkways. I had to reference the map a couple of times. Overall very pleasant and I feel like I have earned my dinner.
This is a perfect route for a walk or jog and to travel between the south and north sides of Black Rock.
great early morning walk.
flat trail by the beach. follow beach walk sign
Great walk along the beaches!
Gorgeous beach with very beautiful sand and amazing views. Many high rise condos very near.
We would go again in a heartbeat!
Just for two or for the whole family to get out & enjoy God's creation! Absolutely Incredible! Memories for a life time.
Too many tourists for my tastes, its great for a run at night, but crowded during the day.
Nice walk but very heavily populated. Beach Walk is actually closed right now (1/23/2017) and the detour takes you along the front of hotels. Not the best beach walk while under construction.
An extremely easy trail with a defined, maintained path that shows gives amazing views of the water from every angle! Don't forget water...
Great walk
It is beautiful. Easy to walk on the trail or along the beach. The only problem is all the people. It is crowded most of the day, but very crowded at sunset. If you like to walk shoulder to shoulder with people it great. You can also practice evasive maneuvers as you work your way around all the people that stop in front of you to listen to time share sales people.
For a social trial go in afternoon evening. If you want to have a more peaceful walk get on the trail early.
Great easy walk. With plenty excitement when 3 whales went by. They seemed to swim very slowly for photo opportunity. Plenty places to get on and off the trail. Perfect for families with little ones.
Lae X.
Resort walking path along the beach. Absolutely beautiful and very easy. Lots of joggers and runners in the early morning. We start out from the Westin Villas at the north end of Kaanapali and ended our walk at the Hyatt. Grab breakfast there and head back. It is not a straight path when you reach the Sheraton. Follow the detour path or just cut through the hotel.
Resort walking path that leads to Black Rock. There are several hotels and shopping areas on this path that make it great for an evening stroll. The views are incredible and the family friendliness of this area is amazing. Black Rock is great for kids snorkeling and adult cliff diving. Writing this makes me want to move to Maui.

Our fresh and new ChocoJazz event; this time not 10 courses but 4 different edible musical paintings. The whole show is in the theme of four elements; red, yellow, blue and black/white, represented by four old Dutch Masters and what they have in common with 'de Stijl' (you know Mondriaan and such). Vocal jazz and a string quartet (yes, violins…) will accompany the interpretations of the masters and the sweetness.
(June 2016 & January 2017)
All culinary one-bites are based on art, emotions and music and are driven by haute cuisine techniques. Don't expect only chocolate, but also cake, coffee foam, kardemom gel, infused rosewater, amarena-cherries blanched in port wine, hibiscus crumbles and other explosions in your mouth. And, while Ted is filling the evening with his goodies, Vivienne mixes her original compositions with the electronic inventiveness from Dutch bass player Robin Koerts. Together they are combining jazz, live loops, visuals and soundbites. The efforts of Robin, who is also known from the video-samples of the Wereld Draait Door (a Dutch tv-show), and Vivienne's vocal jazz songs (with voice, loops, ipad apps and synthesizer) blend together in this new musical concept. Video fragments like youtube drummers, tennis players, didgeridoos, the Simpsons and Wally, with their visuals ánd their sounds, are all part of the compositions.

New Book on Jimmy Page Due In October
Before the days of social-media, rock stars were able live in obscurity. That was much of the fan appeal (the music) and wanting to know about their favorite stars. Jimmy Page has long had admirers longing to get at the mystery of the enigmatic guitarist. Page has shied away from the press much of his career, but a new book about will shine some light on and provide a greater understanding of the rock superstar.
Light & Shade will include discussions with the influential rocker on a variety of aspects of his career, from his years as a sought-after session musicians, through his Zeppelin heyday and beyond, to his various endeavors following the band's 1980 breakup.
Brad Tolinski longtime editorial director of Guitar World is compiling material from some 50 hours of interviews conducted with Page over a twenty year period.
Ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash calls Light & Shade "the most comprehensive & compelling collection of interviews, insights & historical anecdotes of one of rock and roll's premier guitarists, songwriters and producers ever compiled."
Page's work speaks volumes and is some of the most revered classics of all time. His influence on a generation of guitarist (young and old) is unmatched.
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett adds that the book "illuminates the haunted genius of Jimmy Page in an original and completely satisfying way," while ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons says, "This fine work will rock you!"
Light & Shade is scheduled to be on book store shelves in October.

Getting patients diagnosed correctly and treated appropriately depends on providers gathering both quantitative data, which is typically structured, and qualitative data, which is typically unstructured. When comparing both types of data, it's more challenging to manage and derive value from unstructured data.
Quantifiable, measureable data such as lab results, blood sugar levels and cholesterol are considered structured data. This type of data is objective and can be entered discretely into EHRs via predefined fields. Since the data is structured, software systems are able to understand the meaning of the data, interpret the data and report on it. Structured data can be put to use by clinicians at the point of care to aid their decision making.
Qualitative data, on the other hand, such as symptoms like pain, discomfort and fatigue, is considered unstructured data. This type of data is subjective to the patient and is often gleaned through conversations based on what the clinician asks and what the patient discloses.

If a patient encounter were like an academic exam, gathering structured data like vitals would be the fill-in-the-blank portion of the test. Gathering unstructured data would be like the essay portion. While it might seem like a simple exchange of niceties, these communications provide a lot of information to a clinician, such as whether a patient is experiencing depression, or has shortness of breath upon standing.
Correct diagnoses and appropriate treatments are dependent on managing both structured and unstructured data. Managing structured and unstructured data also greatly influences the outcomes a health care organization is able to deliver. As the amount of reimbursements tied to outcomes increases, delivering outcomes becomes all the more important.
Managing structured data is usually handled well. It's in the management of unstructured data where the problems arise. There are two primary problems with unstructured data:
* The first problem is process-related. Unstructured data is not gathered consistently or systematically. A clinician only knows about symptoms if he or she asks the patient, which doesn't always happen, or if the patient discloses the information, which, again, doesn't always happen. When symptoms are overlooked or patients withhold information, clinicians can't make the right diagnosis or give the best treatment.
* The second problem is technical. Unstructured data is most often recorded in EHRs in free text fields or note fields. Data stored this way makes it very difficult for software systems to interpret, understand and analyze.
The ballooning amount of data available is its own issue. And guess what? Up to 80 percent of all health data could be unstructured data.
So, what if technology could not only ensure patients were being diagnosed correctly, but also automate the process? Care management and patient engagement software provides a new way for health care organizations to unlock the value of unstructured data. How? In essence, by creating "structured symptoms," which is the gathering of patient-reported symptoms, and discretely capturing them in a way the data can be analyzed.
Get Social

These platforms systematically assess patients for symptoms (and signs) that they might not get asked about directly by a provider, and that they might not self disclose because they don't think it's important or simply forget. Care management software then stores patient symptom info in a structured way, allowing this previously unstructured data to be analyzed and made actionable.
For example, let's consider the use of alerts that signal clinicians that a patient needs attention. Instead of discovering issues at a late stage, after a disease has had time to progress, clinicians are alerted early to leading indicators of a decline in a patient's health status. In this way, delivery of care becomes less like fighting fires and more like preventing fires.
The bottom line? Whether it's gathered via care management software, EHR or patient-specific physician insights, all data should be structured and be ready for interpretation and analysis.
This is especially critical in value-based models: For any risk-bearing entity, getting this complete picture is absolutely critical to give patients the right treatment at the right time, to improve outcomes and prevent adverse health events.

Martin Solveig – Sur La Terre
Versions (12)
Reviews Show All 2 Reviews
scoundrelSeptember 21, 2015
referencing Sur La Terre, CD, Album + CD, Comp, Enh, TERRE01CD
Martin Solveig hit the scene with SUR LA TERRE, an album of pure disco house that kicks off with the funk bass and groove of "Rocking Music." "I'm A Good Man" leans more in a blues direction with the vocals to strong effect, while "Madan" brings in the African chorus, but "Destiny" takes Solveig back to his disco, though with the African roots still audible. Even the slower groove of "Burning Ethnic (Wake Up Mix)" carries some Afro-flavor. But when the Afro-torch burns bright, as on "Linda (MS Nasty Remix)," it's lovely to behold. The deeper house of "Someday" or the Chicago-tinged piano chords of "You Are My Friend" offer a delicacy that also stands out. Indeed, "Sur La Terre" closes the album with a slice of sunny downtempo warmth, beamed directly from Brazil. On the disc of remixes, "Heartbeat" goes straight and unabashedly for the club, while Warren Clarke makes "Rocking Music" into a bongo frenzy. Mousse T takes a gospel-breaks approach to "I'm A Good Man," and Kenny Dope shoots "Linda" into some cosmic disco. But it's DJ Gregory's mix of "Someday" that stands out; an already-great track gets a minimal rub. This album certainly helps you keep your feet on the ground.

I don't really like a of of house stuff, but I bought this on a whim at the time & I have to say that it still stands up quite well. A lot deeper than his more recent big roomy stuff.

Bursa Malaysia ends lower on profit-taking
Posted on 13 September 2017 - 06:35pm
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia ended lower today after recent gains, in line with most regional peers, on profit-taking in selected heavyweights, consumer and technology counters, dealers said.
At the close, the key FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) was 3.79 points weaker to end at 1,786.07 after moving between 1,785.50 and 1,793.22.
It opened 0.48 of-a-point weaker at 1,789.38 against Tuesday's close of 1,789.86.
Market breadth was negative with losers leading gainers by 480 to 385 with 387 counters unchanged, 581 untraded and 26 others suspended.
Volume shrank to 2.70 billion units worth RM1.85 billion from 3.66 billion units valued at RM2.26 billion on Tuesday.
Among the top losers, Nestle dipped 48 sen to RM85, Genting Malaysia fell 15 sen to RM5.75, Hartalega declined 31 sen to RM6.39, Dutch Lady shed 30 sen to RM59 while Globetronics went down 23 sen to RM6.34.
Having touched fresh 10-year highs benefiting from record highs on Wall Street, several emerging market indices heavyweights in Asia had retreated, particularly Apple-related stocks, a dealer said.
Unveiling its iPhone X on Tuesday at US$999 (US$1 = RM4.19), Apple, however, said that the new model would not ship until November, despite new iPhone models usually going on sale at end-September.
The dealer said investors were also concerned over the re-emergence of possible tensions on the Korean peninsula, as US President Donald Trump recently described United Nations sanctions on North Korea as a "very small step".
Regionally, Japan's Nikkei 225 was up 0.45% to 19,865.82, Hong Kong's Hang Seng eased 0.29% to 27,89.95, South Korea's Kospi shed 0.22% to 2,360.18 while the Singapore Straits Times index decreased 0.22% to 3,228.73.
For heavyweights, Maybank and TNB were flat at RM9.70 and RM14.58, respectively, Public Bank eased four sen to RM20.58 while Sime Darby improved one sen to RM9.14.
Among active counters, D.B.E. Gurney earned half-a-sen to 3.5 sen, Sino Hua-An added 1.5 sen to 25.5 sen, Trive Property advanced two sen to 13 sen while MQ Technology slipped one sen to 7.5 sen.
The FBM Emas Index was 39.28 points lower at 12,708.45, FBMT 100 Index contracted 41.56 points to 12,370.27 and the FBM Ace reduced 15.03 points to 6,727.02.
The FBM Emas Syariah Index lost 27.68 points to 12,920.35 while the FBM 70 dropped 108.79 points to 15,165.40.
Sector-wise, the Plantation Index rose 37.61 points to 7,984.57, Industrial Index shed 2.75 points to 3,239.50 and the Finance Index declined 26.18 points to 16,816.73.
The Main Market volume increased to 1.77 billion shares worth RM1.67 billion from 1.44 billion shares worth RM1.96 billion on Tuesday.
Volume on the ACE Market dwindled to 783.61 million units valued at RM158.31 million from 2.04 billion units worth RM275.96 million yesterday.
Warrants fell to 134.75 million shares worth RM17.11 million from 176.47 million shares worth RM22.55 million previously.
