Census of Population and Housing, 1990 [United States]: Summary Tape File 420, Place of Work 20 Destinations File (ICPSR 6212)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
Summary Tape File 420 (STF 420) contains sample data weighted to represent the total population of workers 16 years old and over as well as 100-percent counts of all persons and housing units. Included are five population tables and one housing table for each state and its subareas in hierarchical sequences down to the census tract/block numbering area (BNA) level. For workers 16 years old and over, data for 20 places of work and for those working elsewhere are provided for five race groups: (1) White, (2) Black, (3) American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut, (4) Asian or Pacific Islander, (5) other race and Hispanic origin by race. In addition, a supplemental file, Part 80, is provided that includes a machine-readable list of the total number of workers living in each county and, for that county, the number of persons working in the 20 destinations listed as well as a "worked elsewhere" category for the remainder of places worked. The list also applies to the sub-county geographic units (census tracts/BNAs) and contains a variety of geographic entities as destinations (the number of destinations may be less than 20).

Are you hoping to hold your own little bundle of joy soon? Trying to get pregnant can be a lot of fun, but for many couples it can be frustrating too.
Fertility is the result of many factors coming together at one time. Knowing the basics can help you make changes that could increase your chances of conceiving.
During ovulation, an egg is released into the fallopian tube. Sperm must come in contact with the egg within 24-48 hours for pregnancy to take place. If the egg is not fertilized, menstruation will usually occur in about 2 weeks. Tracking your menstrual cycle will help you determine your best chance for pregnancy.
A woman's menstrual cycle starts from the first day of her period to the first day of her next period. It is usually 23-35 days long. Although ovulation can be irregular, it typically occurs 12-16 days before the start of your next menstrual period. For example, in a 28-day cycle, ovulation often occurs on the 14th day.
Because ovulations may be irregular a calendar tracking may not work for you. The following methods can also help you determine when you are fertile:
Rise in Basal Body Temperature
Right after ovulation, many women have an increase in basal (early morning) body temperature. It may increase about 0.5°F-1.6°F. By taking and recording your temperature every morning before rising, you should note a pattern over the next few cycles. Plan to have intercourse during the 2-3 days before your temperature normally rises. The downside of this method is that you must be vigilant in taking and recording your temperature every day for several months.
Keep in mind that drinking or smoking and poor sleep patterns can have an effect on your basal body temperature.
Physical Changes
You may be able to determine ovulation by observing changes in your body. One change is that your cervical mucus becomes clear, slippery, stretchy, (similar to raw egg whites) on the days before ovulation. This mucus helps to increase the movement of the sperm through the uterus to the fallopian tubes where it meets the egg.
Some women also experience discomfort, achiness, or twinges of pain in the lower abdomen during ovulation. The discomfort may last for a few minutes or several hours.
Ovulation Test Kits
Easy-to-use kits for determining ovulation are available in many stores. They involve urinating on test strips which change color when you are ovulating. The changes are caused by hormones specific to ovulation. Accuracy varies depending on the product, so try different ones to see which one is more accurate for you.
Increasing Your Chances of Conceiving
Understanding ovulation is just one factor in pregnancy. If you are trying to get pregnant, keep these factors in mind:
- Frequent intercourse will increase your chance of getting pregnant during your fertile period. It will not decrease male fertility.
- Lubricants can slow sperm motility. You may want to avoid their use if you are trying to conceive.
- Use a combination of all these methods.
- It may be more difficult to conceive in the first few months after stopping the use of birth control.
- Lifestyle factors can effect your ability to conceive. Avoid smoking. If you are overweight, consider losing weight. Reduce stress.
- Increased age can affect fertility.
Remember that even if conceiving your previous child was easy, it does not mean that future pregnancies will be easy to achieve. Knowing your how your body responds to hormonal changes can increase the chances putting you on the road to a healthy pregnancy. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are planning on becoming pregnant.

Not to add any fuel to this fire.. but Robert Randolph is apparently close friends to Dolan. He tweeted the following:
Source - @rrtfb:
He apparently announced Melo's signing to NY before anyone else. Hopefully this is crap.steve nash has agreed to play for the #nyknicks!!!!! #3peat #dynasty!!!!
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...why is nobody else picking up on this? Must be fake it was tweeted four hours ago
I hope BC has a solid plan B otherwise he's going to get absolutely killed
Here's a question: Does BC up the offer? $45 million over 3 years? How high can he conceivably go?
Just based on my personal business experience, desperate buyers make irrational decisions. BC needs to make this happen. It's not just his job that's on the line here but the his personal reputation and the organization's. If he can't get the GOAT Canadian to sign as a FA when he's got more money than anyone else, what the hell can he do? What can Toronto do? He needs this deal to happen. This isn't over yet....
FYI Berman deleted the tweet confirming Randolphs report.
From Knicksworld:BREAKING NEWS: Marc Berman says via Twitter that the Knicks are closing in on a sign-and-trade for Steve Nash. He says Robert Randolphs tweet looks right.
If this includes Shumpert I will kill someone.
Update: Strangely, Berman has now deleted that Tweet. Either that means a sign-and-trade isnt going down, or he was saving that one for later.
Maybe ESPN and Yahoo are taking the day off for the 4th of July?
Eh follow my TWITTER!
http://www.latimes.com/sports/basket...,3998936.storyThe Lakers are trying to land Nash, though it would have to be via trade and not free agency because they can offer him only $3 million next season, the mini mid-level exception.
The Lakers could try to acquire him via the $9 million traded-player exception they received from the Lamar Odom trade last season. Trade exceptions are hard to explain, but the Lakers would have to entice the Suns to sign Nash for $9 million in the first season of a new contract and then trade him to the Lakers for a draft pick.
Nash, a free agent after spending the last eight seasons in Phoenix, has already been offered a three-year deal with the Toronto Raptors for about $36 million.
If $12M doesn't cut it, no thank you Steve.
I respect his right to go where he wants but this flies in the face of his many public comments about money (most Knicks can do is $8M I believe), old school, growth of sport in Canada to name a few.

Toshiba has announced the availability of its new HD-A20 HD
DVD player. The player was first shown earlier this year at the Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas and was projected to have a price tag of $599 --
instead the HD DVD player will be priced at $499.
HD-A20 supports full 1080p resolution unlike its cheaper HD-A2 brother
which only supports up to 1080i. Unfortunately, the HD-A20 doesn't feature the
HDMI 1.3 interface found in Sony's BD-1200 or PlayStation 3 and instead relies
on HDMI 1.2. Without HDMI 1.3, the HD-A20 misses out on xvYCC support, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and automatic audio syncing. In order to get HDMI
1.3 on an HD DVD player, you'll have to step up to the $799 HD-XA2.
Sub $500 players which support 1080p are few and far between
these days. Besides the HD-A20, there's also the $499 USD 20GB PS3 -- the only
problem is (1) the 20GB PS3 is extremely hard to come
by and (2) it has been discontinued by Sony.
Microsoft's $199 HD
DVD drive supports 1080p over VGA and when paired with a $299 Xbox 360 Core
comes in under $500.
Toshiba also announced that is has sold over 900,000 HD DVD
titles to date and promises that 70 more titles will be released between now
and July 2007. The company is also talking up its promotion where anyone who
purchases a new Toshiba HD DVD player can receive five HD DVD titles for free.
Despite the excitement from Toshiba over HD DVD, it looks as though the Blu-ray
standard is putting
up quite a fight.

If there's a poll on who's the MVP of this team so far, i would say it's a tie between Jose and Amir.
Amir Johnson has been that impressive this year. I always think of him as a more skilled, bigger version of JYD. This guy just gives his 100% every time he's on the floor, great rebounder, great defender, great teammate, and has really improved his offensive part of his game.
Like i said before, the only thing i hate about him is his jersey number. I don't think anyone should be wearing #15.

Commercial and industrial developers in Montezuma County could save time and money under new land-use code amendments proposed last week. They were not officially adopted, since they require a public hearing, but the Board of County Commissioners appeared favorable.
Commissioners Steve Chappell, Keenan Ertel and Larry Don Suckla listened to the recommendations of Planning Director Susan Carver, who spoke on behalf of the six-member Planning and Zoning Commission.
The biggest change would give parcels zoned as light industrial, heavy industrial or commercial a "use by right" status. This would eliminate the need for high-impact permit reviews for those properties. Those applications cost $1,000 and can take six to 10 weeks.
If the change is approved, developers whose building plans exceed one or more of the 33 "threshold standards" - things like structure heights, setbacks, traffic and noise - would not need a high impact permit. Instead, they would only need to craft a mitigation plan with the planning department.
Carver said the goal is to help businesses open more quickly by getting rid of unnecessary hurdles.
The second notable change would give commercial and industrial developers the choice of building to a newer code. Currently, county land-use regulations only provide for the Uniform Building Code, which dates to 1997 and is considered obsolete by most builders. The newer International Building Code is far more common, Carver said. But right now, local builders need clearance from the county commissioners before using IBC standards, adding yet another step to the process.
Citing negative experiences with the IBC at several past jobs, Suckla was skeptical about including it in the land-use code. He said its stricter safety criteria, like requiring sprinkler systems, were onerous and "tied the hands" of business owners.
Carver replied that it is unusual to find builders who certify to UBC standards anymore.
Ertel liked the idea of keeping the UBC as an alternate option, while adding the updated code..
"If we keep stalling (adopting the IBC), future commercial and industrial structures may not be insurable," he said. He also worried that finding lenders would be difficult if the code wasn't modernized.
None of the proposed amendments impact houses, apartments or condominiums, Carver said, because Montezuma County has no mandatory residential building codes.
She added that the changes would bring Montezuma County more in line with the state norm.
The public hearing is scheduled for Monday, April 29, at 1:30 p.m. Those who cannot attend the mid-day hearing can submit written comments to the planning department.

Some time ago, I was meeting with a middle-aged father who tearfully related to me the circumstances of his daughters death. She was an accomplished, aspiring teenager who committed suicide.
In his grief, the father wondered aloud to me if there was anything he could have done to prevent his daughters death. Most importantly, he expressed a desire for others to be better educated about suicide and its prevention.
Suicide unfortunately is a common problem in our society. As of 2007, it was the 10th-leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for the annual premature death of more than 34,000 people. For every completed suicide, it is estimated that there were 11 attempts.
Suicide prevention begins with understanding the risk factors. Those with a personal or family history of a mental-health disorder, especially depression or a substance-use disorder, may be at risk. Those with depression and either a family history of suicide or personal history of a previous suicide attempt are at greater risk.
Access to a weapon, such as a gun, or efforts to obtain one substantially increase suicide risk.
Among children and adolescents, additional risk factors include family violence, such as physical or sexual abuse, a history of disruptive behavior or exposure to suicidal behaviors among family or peers. Depression and/or substance abuse continue to be major risk factors among youths.
Not all people with suicide risk factors experience suicidal thoughts. Yet among those at risk, certain warning signs should prompt action.
Friends, family members, peers or co-workers may detect words, actions or behaviors that indicate a risk of suicide. In many instances, suicide risk involves despair a sense of helplessness or hopelessness.
Behaviors that precede a suicide attempt can be varied. They may include social withdrawal and isolation, or they may involve agitation, extreme mood swings, vengefulness or reckless behaviors such as increasing alcohol or drug use.
People contemplating suicide may comment about a sense of burden to others, a sense of feeling trapped or a feeling of unbearable psychological pain.
Comments about a sense of hopelessness or lack of a reason to live or comments about a desire to die or to kill oneself always should be taken seriously. In such circumstances, immediate action is essential.
Many resources exist to assist those experiencing suicidal thoughts. While routine counseling with a mental-health or religious professional is appropriate for those suffering depression or suicidal thoughts, those planning suicide represent a mental-health emergency and require timely intervention.
Local and national resources for suicide prevention are available. The national suicide prevention lifeline, a 24-hour, toll-free crisis-intervention service, is available at (800) 273-8255. Those experiencing suicidal thoughts also can seek care at local hospital emergency rooms, where trained crisis-intervention counselors are on call to provide services.
If you or a family member or friend are experiencing suicidal thoughts, take action immediately and seek help.
Dr. Matthew A. Clark is a board-certified physician in internal medicine and pediatrics practicing at the Ute Mountain Health Center in Towaoc.

Bacino: 'Regulators Hate' FHLBs' Super Lien Position
When it comes to the NCUA adding Federal Home Loan Banks to its final emergency liquidity rule, credit union lobbyist and consultant Geoff Bacino said the banks' so-called "super lien" is a disadvantage.
Bacino, who has served on the boards of both the NCUA and the Federal Housing Finance Agency – the FHFA regulates the FHLBs – said "regulators hate" the FHLBs' superior lien position on collateral pledged against borrowings.
"When an institution fails, the home loan banks are first in line," he said. The FHLB's position is superior to the insurer and insured depositors. Bacino said the position even earned him a call from Sheila Bair in 2008, who was FDIC chairman at the time.
The former NCUA Board member, who was appointed during a congressional recess in late December, 2000, said he can see both sides of the issue. He said he understands why the credit union regulator has previously said it does not consider the Federal Home Loan Banks to be an appropriate emergency liquidity provider, and can also appreciate the banks' position that they are.
"I could make some arguments that they are. For example, when the housing crisis started in 2007, the Federal Home Loan Bank system carried the brunt of (the liquidity shortage)," he said. "But, the Fed is set up to be the lender of last resort and Federal Home Loan Banks aren't."

Well I was scroling into some chapters and then i read the titles of some chapters !
Naruto Manga 397 - The One who Knows the Truth !
Naruto Manga 398 - The Origin of Konoha !
Naruto Manga 399 - The Beginning of Everything
This chapters shows Obito as the one who knows everything about Itachi , Uchiha Clan Massacre and The History of Konoha !
The other character that Knows everything is the one that Obito was impersonating meaning " Madara Uchiha "
This makes sense because Sasuke Questions are : What was Itachi ? Our Clan ? The vilage ? What was the Beginning ?
This is the best forshadowing that Kishi did also he showed both Madara and Obito when Sasuke said about the One That knows everything !
The reason of why Sasuke needs Orochimaru is that he knows that he needs the power of the scroll to become strong enough so that he could make Obito and Madara tell him everything !
Conclusion: - Obito will help Sasuke become stronger with the scroll !
- Sasuke will make Obito and Madara to tell him everything !

Principal Investigator(s): Fraga, Luis R., University of Washington; Garcia, John A., University of Arizona; Hero, Rodney, University of Notre Dame; Jones-Correa, Michael, Cornell University; Martinez-Ebers, Valerie, Texas Christian University; Segura, Gary M., University of Washington
The Latino National Survey (LNS) contains 8,634 completed interviews (unweighted) of self-identified Latino/Hispanic residents of the United States. Interviewing began on November 17, 2005, and continued through August 4, 2006. The survey instrument contained approximately 165 distinct items ranging from demographic descriptions to political attitudes and policy preferences, as well as a variety of social indicators and experiences. All interviewers were bilingual, English and Spanish. Respondents were greeted in both languages and were immediately offered the opportunity to interview in either language. Interviewers also provided a consent script that allowed respondents to opt out of the survey. Demographic variables include age, ancestry, birthplace, education level, ethnicity, marital status, military service, number of people in the household, number of children under the age of 18 living in the household, political party affiliation, political ideology, religiosity, religious preference, race, and sex.

Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: The universe of analysis contains approximately 87.5 percent of the United States Hispanic population. States were first selected based on the overall size of the Latino/Hispanic population. In addition, four states, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, and North Carolina, were added in an attempt to capture the evolving nature of emerging populations in states without lengthy histories of large Latino populations. Georgia and North Carolina, however, rank 12th and 14th, respectively, in terms of Latino population size and would have been included on that basis alone.
This study is related to ICPSR study 24502: Latino National Survey (LNS)--New England, 2006 and ICPSR study 6841: Latino National Political Survey, 1989-1990. While these studies do not constitute a formal series, these studies are related by topic and principal investigator.
This study has both public use and restricted use versions. The restricted use version contains the FIPS codes which were recoded to a 9-series in the public use file.
For more information on FIPS code please go to the United States Census Bureau American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Codes site.
Sample: The sample was stratified by geographic designation, meaning that each state sample was a valid, stand-alone representation of that state's Latino population. State sample sizes varied based in part on funders' recommendations, but all national figures reported were appropriately weighted such that the numbers were accurately representative of the universe covered by the study. The national margin of error was approximately plus or minus 1.05 percent. The smallest sample size for any unit was 400, yielding a margin of error of less than plus or minus 5 percent for each state. A number of states were stratified internally. In each case but California, internal strata were represented proportionately in the final sample, and imposed solely to ensure that lower density regions were in the final sample. In California, additional strata were imposed in a nonproportional fashion, owing in part to the larger sample size, to allow greater between-region comparisons. All state-level results were computed using state-level weights such that they remained representative of the state population.
The principal investigators conducting the Latino National Survey contracted Latin Force Group LLC (formerly Geoscape(R) International) in October 2006 to enhance the survey respondent file with respondent weights for use in statistical analysis. The original weights for 8,634 records were based on a comparative analysis of the respondents' demographics versus each geographical stratum's overall Hispanic demographics. Subsequently in October 2007, the researchers requested that respondent weights reflect not only the overall demographic composition of respondents (versus state and national Hispanic demographics from Geoscape American Marketscape DataStream 2006), but also reflect the location where the respondents reside so regional differences in opinions and attitudes may be analyzed during state and national summary analytics. Please refer to the Appendix II: Weight Documentation section of the codebook for further information.
WT_METRO_REV: Revised study area ("Metro") respondent weight for summarizing within the Metro Area sampling geographies. This includes rural and "other" sampling areas. These weights are calibrated so the unweighted sample N (8,634) = weighted sample N within each of the 35 geographical strata. The Metro weight is equal to the state weight when the state contains only one sampling area (i.e., Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and North Carolina).
WT_STATE_REV: Revised respondent weight for summarizing within the state. These weights are calibrated so the unweighted sample N (8.634) = weighted sample N within each state. This weight is not applicable for the multi-state DC Metro area.
WT_NATION_REV: Revised respondent weight for summarizing within the United States. The 15 states and DC Metro area included in the sample are home to 87.5 percent of Hispanic adults in the United States. This weight allows statistical comparisons to the total United States Hispanic adult population. These weights are calibrated so the unweighted sample N (8,634) = weighted sample N for the multiple states survey area.
Mode of Data Collection: computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI)
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Created online analysis version with question text.
Original ICPSR Release: 2008-05-27
- 2013-06-05 Contextual variables were added to both the public- and restricted-use versions. The original and contextual variables make public-use files found in part 3 and restricted-use files found in part 4.
- 2012-06-06 Updated restricted use dataset containing actual FIPS codes. This will replace the previous restricted use dataset. The FIPS codes are more extensive as they now contain information down to the tract level.
- 2010-05-26 Corrected variable labels on new weight variables.
- 2010-03-26 The PI supplied revised weight variables to be used with the study. Variables WT_METRO, WT_STATE, and WT_NATION were replaced with WT_METRO_REV, WT_STATE_REV, and WT_NATION_REV.
- 2010-01-05 Added restricted use dataset containing actual FIPS codes.

This past weekend brought me to watch every type of sporting
event BESIDES baseball. Yes, I either
attended or watched on TV: Lacrosse, football, hockey, and soccer.
Up first was lacrosse.
The Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic was held on Saturday for the 5th
straight year in Baltimore. It is a
collection of three games, always with two high seeded matchups and a local
game. Instead of naming the teams, I'll
show the matchups based on the posters they gave out for each team (yes, I took
one of each):
So I took the bus down to Federal Hill and met up with Zevi
at M&T Bank Stadium, where we got our tickets and ran inside just in time
for the national anthem (click to see larger):
After that, Syracuse and Georgetown took the field:
And the first game began:
Then we met up with my friend Joel (who goes to Cuse, but happened to be home for his spring break):
During one of the breaks of the game (3 periods, so there
are two breaks of I think 15 minutes), we found a stand set up by the
Chesapeake Bayhawks of MLL (Major League Lacrosse) and got our picture with the
MLL trophy they brought (I'm on the left, Zevi on the right):
In the 3rd period, with Syracuse leading 8-7,
Georgetown scored on a breakaway goal with 5 seconds left, sending the game
into overtime:
Syracuse scored first in the sudden death extra time, which was cause for
And it was onto the next game: Cornell and Virginia.
Virginia won 11-9. I
cheered for Cornell purely because I did not want to cheer for an ACC team not
named Maryland:
At one point during the game, Cornell shot the ball so hard
(shot? Is that the word they use in lacrosse?) that it ripped through the
net. I figured now would be a good time
to show the epic green nets:
They had a reason for using them. I just forget it.
The best part of this entire day, hands down, was the free
snack'n waffles, sponsored by Smuckers:
So that was our lunch.
Lots and lots of waffles.
So then the local game was next. Johns Hopkins and UMBC came out to warm up:
And 5 seconds into the game, Hopkins had won the face-off,
charged down the field, and scored:
I figured that this game was already in the books (it was;
Hopkins won 16-5), so I headed home to watch basketball. Akron was playing Kent State in the MAC Championship.
My Zips won.
They play Notre Dame on Friday in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament.
I figure since this is an MLBlog, I should include something
baseball related in the entry. Here's a
screenshot I took of some Pirates prospect taking a lead during the Orioles
game. I swear; he's an oompa loompa:
Oh, and here's a Ronnie Deck sighting:
And you can see Ronnie as well in this video. From 0:11-0:15, you can see him standing
behind Mark Reynolds.
Final note:


text:
An officer was dispatched to locate a car last seen at a liquor store that had an unrestrained child in the vehicle. The car was found as it traveled south on Broadway at 7th St. and pulled into a parking lot and stopped. The female driver was contacted and told the officer that she did not have a license because she needed to pay a ticket. The officer observed a male front seat passenger holding a small child in his lap. The officer asked the woman about the child and she stated that it was her 3 month-old little girl. Dispatch advised that the woman had a suspended drivers license and an active warrant for her arrest. She was placed under arrest and the child remained in the custody of the childs father. The female was left in the care and custody of jail staff.
Cortez dispatch advised an officer of a possible domestic dispute at a residence. Three officers responded to the location, and while still outside, heard a male voice inside say, Youre done, (expletive) and something about a sandwich. Officers knocked on the door and a man answered it and came outside to speak with an officer, while another officer spoke with the woman who was inside the residence. The man stated that he had just made the woman a sandwich and she was complaining because it did not have enough turkey on it. The man went on to describe the sandwich in great detail, talking about all the extras he had put on it. He said that he put three kinds of cheese, mayonnaise, gravy, and cranberries on the sandwich, but that the woman was upset about the sandwich and threw her plate at him, flipped over the table and yelled at him. The man stated that all he had done was held her down. The couple are involved in an intimate relationship. The woman told officers that the man had become upset with her because she had added more meat to her sandwich and had thrown her to the ground, causing a visible rug burn to her elbow. The male was placed under arrest; he admitted that he had had a couple of drinks despite being barred from alcohol use. He was charged with harassment, violation of bond conditions, and domestic violence.
An officer responded to Walmart for a report of shoplifting. The male subject had been observed leaving the store with a shopping cart with numerous items without paying for them. The subject admitted to stealing the items. He stated that he did not have the money to buy the items and that he was unemployed. When asked why he stole, the male said that he did not have a good reason, and that he had intended to give the items as Christmas gifts. The subject, a former Walmart employee, had been suspected of stealing from the store in the past. He was arrested and left in the care and custody of jail staff.
An officer responded to Bealls in reference to a theft. The store manager had arrived at the store that morning to find a red canopy missing from the sidewalk in front of the store. The canopy belonged to The Salvation Army, who was letting the store use the item. The canopy was last seen at closing the night before. The canopy was described as having a metal frame with a bright red fabric cover, valued at approximately $100. The Salvation Army manager wished to pursue charges if the canopy was located and would provide officers with a photo of the stolen canopy.
An officer responded to a location for a vehicle that had been called in on a REDDI report (Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately) around noon. Another officer told him that the vehicle was headed south on S. Chestnut St., and he had just observed it pull off into a parking lot, and the female driver had been observed driving on the wrong side of the road. The officer entered the parking area of a mobile home park and observed the vehicle parked in front of a trailer with a female still sitting in the drivers seat. The officer contacted the woman, and took the keys from her ignition. The woman was sitting in the car, eating food from Taco Bell, and this was the only thing he could smell on her breath. The woman had the shakes and her eyes were bloodshot, glassy and watery. She denied that she had been drinking, and told the officer that she was on medication. The bottle provided said it may cause drowsiness, and to not take it with alcohol. The woman refused to perform any voluntary roadside maneuvers, and was placed under arrest. While undergoing a blood test, the woman admitted to drinking one beer that morning and the test revealed that she was under the influence. The woman had been observed driving on the wrong side of the road, almost striking parked cars, failing to stop at a stop sign, and traveling over the shoulder line and center line of the street into the oncoming lane.
An officer responded to the area of S. Broadway and W. 5th St. for a report of property damage. On arrival, he noticed a portion of new wet pavement in front of Arbys that appeared to have been driven on. The officer drove into the Sonic parking lot and met with a male employee of a construction company. He said that he had been driving a truck that belonged to his employer, heading south on Broadway and made a U-turn at the intersection at 5th St. from the turn lane through a ten to fifteen-foot wide gap in the construction barrels. He stated that once he started to drive on the pavement, he realized it was wet. He was on his way to Sonic. The officer also spoke with another male driving an SUV who told the officer that he had done the same thing, also backing up across the wet pavement in the process. He also stated that he was going to Sonic. The tire marks through the wet concrete were photographed, and an employee of Lawson Construction was provided the report number for the incidents. There was no criminal intent in the incidents.

Pietrus has passed his physical, and the paperwork is complete. Raptors sign Pietrus and will likely waive McGuire. He could play as soon as tomorrow against Phoenix.
Pietrus has passed his physical, and the paperwork is complete. Raptors sign Pietrus and will likely waive McGuire. He could play as soon as tomorrow against Phoenix.
I'm indifferent about this signing. We don't get any better. We don't get any worse. It's more of a whatever signing. For everyone that knows me, I'm somewhat of a supporter of BC and what he does for our team, but it's so obvious that this is just a signing to make it look like BC is actually trying to do something about our poor performance.
I'm happy about this signing. Pietrus is a great locker guy, great caracter guy. He's also a pretty good shooter and defender, and I wanted him in a Raptors uniform since about 5 years. Plus he speaks french so it's gonna be nice to hear him talk to the TVA Sports reporters after the games!
Let's put it this way, if Pietrus doesn't pan out as better than McGuire, LK and Fields, it will just add fuel to the #FireBC that's been going on.
Pietrus has a good chance to be at least marginally better, especially in shooting. His defence will be lacking because he'll be out of game shape and it will take time to learn the new system. One thing he can bring to the Raptors, that the other 3's can't do consistently, is shooting the 3!
All is not lost in this dark 3-win season, thus far.
i'll take a Pietrus for McGuire flip anyday of the week.
Means we are paying mcguires contract right?
Quite a meh pickup for me. We now have a logjam at the 3 and 4 with nay an allstar at either position. Using up all our roster spots on average/serviceable/dime a dozen/trade fodder players that won't be able to garner intrest in trades to improve us. Right now the only tradeable assets we have are jose' contract/bargs/ross/demar/lowry/ed and bigv. Safe to say bigv and lowry aren't going anywhere and demar will likely be staying so bargs, jose, ed and ross for a real player. I doubt amir could be used as anything but a salary match throw in.
I expect once klieza activates his player option he will be amnestied. If we amnesty him today would we have to pay that year as well?
#freebargs, #bringinpritchard
Eh follow my TWITTER!
good signing given the market. Need something to show that the record isn't acceptable, but not too much that would be considered over reacting. A measured response I'd say.
Wake me up when it's over. This isn't going to address a damn thing. If a strong gust of wind happens to blow on his knees, watch out.
The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. - Martin Luther King
Pietrus is an exceptional shooter. Very solid defender, and he is a very good character.
This is an upgrade in my opinion over McGuire and Anderson. Watched quite a bit of Boston last year, and he was solid. Injuries was something that got in his way though, hopefully he can stay healthy, because we can't afford 3 wing players out.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Pietrus isn't going to be a problem solver, but he can be a solution to a couple of small issues.
Wing productivity, 3-ball, defense, and veteran leadership. Will be a 10-15 minute guy, can give some good stretches. Not a player that I would start, and give extended minutes to though, unless he is playing lights out.
Team: Lowry, Derozan, Fields, Bargnani, Valanciunas :: Calderon, Ross, Pietrus, Davis, Johnson, Anderson, Lucas, Gray.
As much as I like Dominic McGuire and how he's brought in some solid play, it's Pietrus (and a healthy one at that) > DM anyday of the week.

playing in Boston tends to keep you in game shape I can see him coming behind Klieza for now.
LOL. this guy sounds like he smokes more weed than ed davis and james johnson combined.

National Crime Surveys: Cities, 1972-1975 (ICPSR 7658)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Justice. Office of Justice Programs. Bureau of Justice Statistics
This sample of the National Crime Survey contains information about victimization in 26 central cities in the United States. The data are designed to achieve three primary objectives: 1) to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime, 2) to estimate the numbers and types of crimes not reported to police, and 3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of crimes and permit reliable comparisons over time and between areas of the country. Information about each household or personal victimization was recorded. The data include type of crime (attempts are covered as well), description of offender, severity of crime, injuries or losses, time and place of occurrence, age, race and sex of offender(s), relationship of offenders to victims, education, migration, labor force status, occupation, and income of persons involved.
Access Notes
The public-use data files in this collection are available for access by the general public. Access does not require affiliation with an ICPSR member institution.
This dataset is maintained and distributed by the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD), the criminal justice archive within ICPSR. NACJD is primarily sponsored by three agencies within the U.S. Department of Justice: the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Institute of Justice, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: census data, cities, crime, criminal justice system, households, victimization
Geographic Coverage: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, California, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Colorado, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Houston, Illinois, Los Angeles, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Miami, Michigan, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Orleans, New York (state), New York City, Newark, Oakland, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland (Oregon), San Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, Texas, United States, Wisconsin

Universe: Major cities in the United States.
As part of its quality control procedures, ICPSR undertook a study using this data collection to determine whether it could replicate published figures from Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) publications. Based on study results of the analysis, ICPSR concluded that the BJS datasets accurately represent published figures. The replication study was done on the crime of robbery and used figures from the three publications identified in Appendix E of the documentation for this collection. Results of comparisons of dataset-derived estimates with published estimates are included in Appendix F.
The survey was conducted by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
Sample: Interviews were conducted with household members in each household sampled. The data for the Cities sample are organized by city for each year (1972-1975) into 39 separate incident-level and 39 separate person-level datasets. Each file represents a city for a year. A full sample of victims and a ten percent sample of non-victims for up to four incidents was employed. Thus, a maximum of four incidents per victim have been retained in the subset files. The remainder of the incidents were dropped. In the entire Cities Sample, approximately 97% of the respondents in each quarter report four or fewer incidents. As a sample of the National Crime Survey, this dataset contains 12,000 sample households selected in 26 chosen cities, with approximately 10,000 interviews having actually taken place in each.

Ways & Means Working Groups Initiate Tax Reform Research
The House Ways and Means Committee has announced the chairs and vice chairs who will lead 11 working groups to research tax reform.
According to a committee release, each group of lawmakers will review current law and then collect and compile feedback from stakeholders, academics and think tanks, practitioners and House colleagues.
The Joint Committee on Taxation will compile the research into a report for the full committee and present it on this coming tax day, April 15.
Lobbyist John McKechnie, partner at Washington-based strategy and communication firm Total Spectrum, told Credit Union Times two working groups are on the credit union radar: one that will research charitable/exempt organizations, and one that will focus on financial services.
The exempt organization group will be led by Chairman David Reichert (R-Wash.) and Vice Chairman John Lewis (D-Ga.).
Chairman Adrian Smith (R-Neb.) and Vice Chairman John Larson (D-Conn.) will lead the financial services working group.
McKechnie said the leadership for both groups is known to leagues and national trade associations, and by and large, credit unions can work with them. He added that no committee staffers have said they are targeting credit unions; however, they haven't called out any groups so far.
"They're just repeating what have been saying for a year: they're just looking at taking a holistic approach to tax reform," McKechnie said. "The difference is now they're putting it on paper.
Subchapter S banks do not pay federal income taxes but instead "pass through" profits or losses to shareholders, who report the income or loss on their own individual tax returns. A CUNA issue summary reports that almost one-third of all U.S. banks – some 2,376 institutions – have elected Subchapter S tax status.
"This is clearly an opportunity to point out the amount of revenue banks aren't contributing through Subchapter S," McKechnie said.
He added that when credit union executives visit their elected officials during CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference the week of Feb. 25, they should be forthright about the value of credit union tax exemption and its benefit to consumers.
McKechnie said Hill discussions should find a "sweet spot" of touting the benefits of tax exemption without drawing unneeded attention to credit unions during the tax reform process.
"We shouldn't be afraid to discuss it," he said. "If we try to update our services to members, banks threaten us with taxation. But if we don't, they'll do it anyway. And we should also be confident about the fact that we should be able to update and modernize how we serve our members. That's simply the evolving nature of our economy."

The Bridge Emergency Shelter in Cortez has seen a shifting clientele since the temperatures started dropping to dangerous lows.
Shelter manager Donna Boyd said there have been many more people staying at the shelter who were not intoxicated in the past few weeks. In one 11-day span not one visitor showed up while intoxicated, Boyd said.
The shelter is divided into two sides to accommodate both sober and non-sober people who want to use the facility.
Currently, 90 percent of the people visiting the shelter are being allowed on to the "dry side," the side where non-intoxicated visitors are placed.
With the bitterly cold temperatures, Boyd said she has seen new people visiting the shelter seeking a warm place to stay for the night. The shelter opens nightly at 6 p.m.
"I suspect the bitter cold temperatures are the reason," she said.
Some homeless people sleep in their vehicles, but the cold temperatures have made that virtually impossible.
Boyd recently received four phone calls from families hoping to use the shelter because of the freezing temperatures.
Unfortunately, the shelter cannot accept families into the shelter, so they were directed elsewhere, though there is currently no actual location in the county for families who are homeless.
Boyd said the overall shelter numbers are down this season since the facility opened in mid-October, but thinks the dramatic and bitter cold has resulted in some people seeking shelter who otherwise would not have.
She also thinks acquaintances are taking in homeless and people in need, or letting them stay in places like garages because of the colder than normal weather.
The shelter manager said she feels there are many homeless people who were or are still staying with family for the holidays while others may have traveled south looking for warmer temperatures.
The shelter, during the last few weeks, has averaged 17 people a night with a low of 15. She said that February is the busiest month for the Bridge.
She said it is a little perplexing on why the numbers are down because those going back to the reservation usually do so when the climate is better.
Tragically, there have been two hypothermia-related deaths in the recent past in Cortez. A man died in January 2011 and a woman died last January.

In every close game they look like old war vets who have been shell shocked and can't perform when the battle is the most fierce. Casey is not going to change that, the only way you are going to change that is trade most of the players that been here for the past 3-4 seasons and start a new team because they are used to losing.

Up to this point, we have focused on the firm itself, which is the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). In this chapter, we will focus on the individuals who give advice on behalf of the firm. These individuals are Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs). In this book, the initials "RIA" will always refer to the firm and "IAR" always applies to the person giving advice.
The term, "advisor," might apply to both the entity and the individual. For example, when a statement is made that advisors must act ethically, one really should not distinguish between the firm and the individuals. Stating that RIAs must act ethically might cause some readers to infer that IARs do not owe a similar duty.
Title III of NSMIA, which we discussed in Differences Between State and SEC Regulation of Investment Advisors, dictates that states may not require the registration, licensing, or qualification of SEC-registered investment advisory firms. States may, however, license, register, or otherwise qualify IARs who do business in that state. In addition, states retain the authority to investigate and bring enforcement actions in cases of fraud or deceit committed by SEC-registered firms and their associated persons.
In the case of state-registered investment advisory firms, there is a national de minimus standard. That standard prohibits any state from requiring the registration, licensing, or qualification of an RIA if the firm does not have a place of business located in the state and had five or fewer clients residing there during the prior twelve months.
As was mentioned in Differences Between State and SEC Regulation of Investment Advisors, only states, and not the SEC, register or license IARs. Members of both state and SEC registered firms may be required to register with the states in which they provide investment advice. According to the SEC's study dealing with investment advisors and broker-dealers issued in January 2011, there were more than 275,000 IARs registered in various states as of September 30, 2010. Generally, IARs will not be required to register or become licensed in a state if their firms do not have a place of business there and have fewer than six clients residing in the state during the prior twelve months.
In almost every state, registration as an IAR is accomplished by filing a Form U4, which is the Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration. Form U4 is filed on the Central Registration Depository (CRD) system. Individuals who are already registered representatives for broker-dealers will amend their U4s if they become IARs of an advisory firm. New York has its own version of Form U4, and Wyoming does not register IARs.
Most states require an IAR to pass the Series 65 exam—a difficult test, administered by FINRA that demonstrates whether someone has the basic knowledge needed to become an IAR. An individual usually has two years after passing the Series 65 exam to become licensed, and the exam remains valid for the entire time the person maintains his or her license. Alternatively, an IAR may pass the Series 66 and the Series 7 exams instead of taking the Series 65 exam.
Some states allow for the substitution of credentials, like the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation, in lieu of passing an exam. In Wisconsin, for example, individuals holding one of the following designations can claim a waiver from the exam requirement:
- CFP®--Certified Financial Planner
- ChFC®--Chartered Financial Consultant
- PFS--Personal Financial Specialist
- CFA--Chartered Financial Analyst
- CIC--Chartered Investment Counselor
Individuals must be members in good standing of the organization that awards the designation.
Aside from passing an exam or holding a particular designation, IARs may also be required to file an application, pay a fee, and undergo a background check. In some states, solicitors are required to be registered as IARs. A solicitor is any person who, directly or indirectly, solicits clients for, or refers clients to, an RIA. Insurance agents, bankers, accountants, and attorneys often act as solicitors.
Typical IAR Registration Requirements
Wisconsin's requirements are typical of the rules requiring registration of IARs. This state's securities law changed in 2009 and defines an IAR as anyone who is employed by or associated with an RIA who:
- makes recommendations or gives advice on securities;
- manages accounts of clients;
- holds himself or herself out as providing investment advice; or
- is compensated for soliciting clients for an investment adviser.
This definition does not include a clerical or ministerial employee.
As a general rule, Wisconsin considers any person providing advice on a specific client's portfolio, whether directly or indirectly, or who discusses the performance of the portfolio or the RIA's recommendations, to be acting as an IAR. A person who reviews a particular client's account, makes recommendations to another RIA but never actually speaks with the client, must still register as an IAR. Because the advice is specific to a particular client's needs and portfolio, the IAR is viewed as providing advice to a Wisconsin client.
In contrast, a member of an investment committee, which makes generic decisions on an RIA's recommendations with no consideration given as to which clients hold or should hold such securities, is not transacting business or providing advice for Wisconsin clients. Therefore, that person does not need to be registered as an IAR.
In Wisconsin and in many other states, there is an exclusion from the definition of IAR if a supervised person does not have a place of business in Wisconsin and has no more than five clients who are natural persons—a legal term for human beings. IARs of SEC-registered RIAs that have no place of business in Wisconsin do not need to be registered, regardless of the number of clients. In contrast, IARs of state-registered advisory firms with no place of business in Wisconsin would be required to register there if they have more than five clients.
According to Wisconsin's securities law, a solicitor may meet the definition of IAR if the person is a supervised employee of the RIA. As such, the solicitor must pass the same examinations as any other IAR.
A third party solicitor is a person who is not a partner, officer, director or employee of an RIA or a supervised person. Wisconsin's statute stipulates that anyone who complies with Rule 206(4)-3 under the Investment Advisers Act and who solicits or refers fewer than ten Wisconsin residents to any one RIA within a calendar year, is not considered to be "soliciting." Table 3-1 includes general principles for IAR registration in any state.
Table 3-1. General IAR State Registration Principles
The following general principles apply to registering as an IAR in all states. Note that the requirements for registration and maintaining the registration do vary from state to state.
Each state has the following requirements for IARs doing business in their state:
• Registration and/or licensure.
• Those who are federally covered advisers must make a notice filing of their Form ADV.
• Each individual acting as an investment adviser or investment adviser representative must achieve a passing score on a competency examination.
• Payment of fees for processing the applications.
• Certain disclosures to the securities agency and/or the public.
• Registration of branch offices of the adviser.
• A bond or minimum net capital.
The Big Picture
There are severe penalties imposed upon firms and individuals who dispense investment advice without properly registering. When individuals launch an advisory firm, they must avoid marketing themselves or the firm as investment advisors before they are approved and the registration process is completed
Among others, CPAs and attorneys should be especially careful that they are only providing investment advisory services that are incidental to their profession. Otherwise, they may be subject to investment advisors registration requirements. One accountant recently found himself in hot water with state securities regulators for allegedly providing more than just incidental investment advice. He had been providing similar advice for several decades.
In some states, applicants who are registering as IARs are automatically approved. If there are disciplinary items on their application, however, the state securities regulator will take a closer look and may require additional information regarding the disciplinary issue.
It is extremely important that RIAs keep detailed client lists that specify where each client resides. Otherwise, IARs may not realize that they are required to be registered in a particular state. Conversely, IARs may waste time and money if they register in states where they are exempted from registration.

The federal government is investigating claims that 13 people have died after drinking 5-Hour Energy in the past four years.
Another 33 hospitalizations linked to the popular energy shot have been reported in that same time period, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
"If someone is to use multiple cans, now is when we start to see some of the side effects," Dr. Sean Patrick Nord, USC Director of the Section of Toxicology, told ABC News. "You're getting astronomical amounts, 30 to 40 cups of coffee."
In a statement, FDA officials said they will take action if the deaths can be directly linked to the drink.
Such action could include forcing the company to take the drinks off the market, The Associated Press reported.
This is the second time in the past month that the FDA confirmed investigations into energy drinks.
In October, the FDA said Monster energy, another popular drink that contains even more caffeine, was allegedly linked to five deaths.

Podcasting 101
What is a podcast?
Podcasts are audio or video shows that you can listen to on a computer or a portable media player. Unlike radio shows, however, podcasts can be listened to anywhere, anytime. Podcasts can be downloaded to your computer or portable media player, listened to and saved, or a series can be subscribed to and new episodes will automatically be downloaded, as they are published, to a "podcatcher" on your computer.
Yahoo: What is a podcast? | iTunes Explains Podcasts
What can I do with a podcast?
Frequently new audio and video content will be added to each podcast feed. If you're subscribed, you automatically get this new content sent to you. You can listen and watch the content at any time. For example, you could download the content to your iPod and listen to the latest interview while you go for a jog.
What is a podcatcher?
Podcatcher is a term commonly given to software that lets you automatically get the latest versions of a show. You tell the software what shows you want to get, by adding the rss feed url of the show into a form the software provides.
The software then periodically checks to see if the url has any new episodes; if so, it downloads them to your computer while you sleep. If you dock your iPod at night, when you get it in the morning, it will be loaded with the new episodes.
There are many free options. About.com maintains a page that suggests its choices for the best Windows and Mac podcatchers. We've also provided links to free programs here:
Juice | Omea | Awasu | Google Reader
How do I listen to podcasts on iTunes?
Apple maintains iTunes which is one of the larger portals that provide podcasts. The following are step-by-step instructions:
1. Download the latest iTunes program if you don't have it installed.
2. Click "iTunes One-Click" from the podcast page which will open up the feed in iTunes
For more information, please visit the podcasts FAQ page from Apple.
Do I need an iPod to receive podcasts?
No. Podcasts are merely RSS feeds that include audio and video files in the enclosure field. Many of the newer RSS feed readers allow users to listen to podcasts.
I don't want to use iTunes. What else can I use?
All you need is a free podcatcher program. There are many free options. About.com maintains a page that suggests its choices for the best Windows and Mac podcatchers. We've also provided links to free programs here:
Juice | Omea | Awasu | Google Reader
I've downloaded a podcatcher. Now what?
Subscribe to our podcasting feed. Each program will be a little different but you simply need to find the area in the program where you can add a podcasting stream. Paste the URL from the "Get XML" in the box and you are subscribed.
Why is it called Podcasting?
The name comes from iPod and broadcasting, which has managed to cause confusion because an iPod is not needed to listen to podcasts. Regardless, the name has stuck.
Who do I contact for help with podcasts?
Please fill out and submit a customer service ticket online for assistance.
