To determine if a CDL is required, the manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicles must be determined.
A road/skills test is required
However, a road/skills test may be required at anytime you apply for a license or endorsement.
We do not provide vehicles. If you do not have access to a vehicle, you may wish to contact a third-party driver license examiner authorized to give the road test using their vehicle.
The fee for a road/skills test is
CDL Knowledge (written) Tests: Upon payment of all applicable fees, you have three attempts to pass the knowledge tests, within 12 months from the date of the application. For a multipart test, if you fail a section but pass another, you receive credit for the passed sections and do not have to repeat them. After three failed attempts to pass the remaining sections of the test, you must pay for a new application. If you also applied for endorsements, you have three attempts to pass each endorsement test.
CDL Skills Tests: After obtaining a CDL instruction permit, you may take the skills tests, consisting of a pretrip inspection, skills test and road test. Upon payment of the skills test fees, you have three attempts to pass the skills tests. The skills test has three parts. If you fail a section but pass another, you receive credit for the passed sections and do not have to repeat them. After three failed attempts to pass all sections of the test you must pay a new skills test fee, which will give you an additional three attempts.
NOTE: You will be allowed to pay for additional skills test attempts, provided your CDL instruction permit remains valid. If the permit has expired, all knowledge tests must be taken again to obtain a new permit before making another attempt at the skills tests.
The CDL instruction permit is valid for six months. It can be renewed one time, provided it has been fewer than 12 months from the initial application date.
Pay a reinstatement fee of $30 ($10 for the suspension and $20 for the revocation), $10 for a limited Class D operator license; the cost of an original CDL instruction permit (A and B are $25; C is $12.50), and $10 for each endorsement.
Take all applicable CDL knowledge (written) tests.
A limited Class D operator license is issued; if the CDL written tests are passed, the appropriate class CDL instruction permit is also issued.
A road/skills test is required for certain endorsements (see the next question for more information). If tested by MVD, the fee is $25 for Class A or B CDL skill tests and $12.50 for Class C. Payment of this fee entitles you to three attempts to pass the CDL skill tests.
Payment for reinstatement fees may be made by cash, cashier's check or money order. Some offices accept credit cards. Payment by cash, credit card or both are not accepted by mail. No personal checks are accepted.
A new hazardous materials endorsement (HME) background check will be required if you are not reinstated within a year of a suspension or revocation.

A scheduled discussion about the proposed relocation of a fitness studio started a larger debate about parking and auto traffic on the Hill at the Chestnut Hill Community Association's Land Use Planning and Zoning committee meeting Thursday night.
Balance Chestnut Hill is looking for relocate from their current location at 5 East Highland Ave. to a new location at 12 West Willow Grove Ave. The proposal was the only major item on the LUPZ's agenda but the applicants had not received their zoning permit refusal from the city by meeting time, so the matter was deferred until March. The committee will only act on an application that has the refusal.
The proposed relocation site on West Willow Grove Avenue has been the subject of controversy in Chestnut Hill before. Once the home of Good Food Market, which closed in the spring of 2010 under pressure from near-neighbors, 12 West Willow Grove Avenue sits on the border between the commercial zoning district along the Avenue, and the residential district just west of it.
"As a resident, it would be a travesty if they're not allowed to move in," said Tom Hemphill, a member of the Traffic, Transportation, and Parking Committee. "What happened to Good Food Market was unforgiveable," he added.
Committee member Ned Mittinger suggested that the committee give serious thought to which uses would be most appropriate for the building, which he called "unique."
"I think we would be doing a service to ourselves and to the committee if this group would meet together…on what that property can be used for," Mittinger said. He added that parking and traffic problems would be likely for any commercial use, given the residential character of the neighborhood. To combat this, he said the LUPZ could consider having the property rezoned.
Committee co-chair John Landis disagreed, referring to the city's recent approval of a new zoning code. He said the process of revising its zoning map would begin soon to support the new code, which was written to reduce the number of zoning categories to allow a more varied mix of uses by right. Landis said that the committee should only look to deal with issues that arise under the new code and leave the old one alone.
"I don't think we want to be doing any rear guard actions on the old zoning ordinance at this point," said Landis.
McEwen said that neither the CHCA nor any of its committees can prescribe what is and isn't an appropriate use there.
CHCA Board member Elizabeth Bales was on hand to support Balance Chestnut Hill. She was present at last month's Development Review Committee meeting and said the applicant presented info about their parking needs. She also said that there is a need for parking on the lower part of the Hill and, she said, that that parking shortage thwarts commercial growth.
" [A perceived lack of]parking is used as a manipulative tool to thwart competition," said Bales. "If people have a problem with a project, they'll blame a shortage of parking."
John Haak, committee members and planner with the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, said the placement of off-street parking should serve as a buffer between the commercial and residential districts on the Hill. He added that but part of the problem about availability stems from the fact that there are more cars per household now than there used to be.
"I'm all for planning, but we need to be careful," Landis said. He said parking should be looked at through the requirements present in the new zoning code, without too much interference from the CHCA.
Chestnut Hill resident and master's student in city and regional planning Megan O'Leary suggested introducing incentives for bicycling and walking as a strategy to reduce auto use along the Hill, an idea committee member Larry McEwen was in favor of supporting.
LUPZ co-chair Cynthia Brey said that a traffic study was done a few years ago that suggested "bump outs" or curb extensions along the side streets to shorten crosswalks and calm traffic along side streets. McEwen noted that the problem with that plan is that bump outs reduce the number of available on-street parking spaces.
McEwen said that the traffic flow in and out of Balance would be different than that of Good Food Market because the average stay would be significantly longer.
Haak suggested that money from the city's capital improvement fund can be used for sidewalk improvements. Landis said he would invite Stephen Buckley, the Director of Policy and Planning in the Mayor's Office of Transportation, to come speak with the group about some of the options available to Chestnut Hill.
Haak told the committee that Philadelphia is in the process of completing a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle plan. He said he would present it to the committee at the next meeting.
They took no formal action on this.

Something More Revelant then BSDSTATS.org
... recalling the recent thread about BSD usage statistics:
Generally http://bsdstats.org is only known by BSD users (and definitely not by all of them), so even having BIG stats out there is more or less pointless.
But there is other way to 'impress' other people with BSD stats ... http://distrowatch.com portal. It mainly focuses on Linux distributions but it also gathers stats for BSDs and OpenSolaris/Solaris 'distributions'.
First we would need to add www/lynx package (it does not need x11 dependency as www/links):
# pkg_add -r lynx
Having this simple line in all machines attached to network for 24/7 will add actual BSD users/machines count to DistroWatch portal stats:
0 4 * * * /usr/local/bin/lynx -dump -useragent="Lynx $( uname -spr )" http://distrowatch.com > /dev/null
Laptop users will propably have their system up and running in different times of the day/night, so it would be better to put such line into the /etc/rc.local file, so their system will 'send' stats at boot:
/usr/local/bin/lynx -dump -useragent="Lynx $( uname -spr )" http://distrowatch.com > /dev/null &
Such 'lynx dump' will create that line in the logs:
188.8.131.52 - - [30/Jun/2010:14:15:24 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 75 "-" "Lynx FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 amd64"
... so it definitely works.
We can even put our favorite browser to increase its 'stats':
% lynx -dump -useragent="Opera/9.80 (X11; $( uname -spr ); U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00" http://distrowatch.com
... and here is the 'opera' result:
220.127.116.11 - - [30/Jun/2010:14:19:21 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 75 "-" "Opera/9.80 (X11; FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 amd64; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00"
Some may say 'isnt that cheating?', definitely not, we only appear one enter per one machine a day, and this DistroWatch stats are about that, 'hits per day' count about various operating systems.

"If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened." Linus Torvalds
Linux is not UNIX! Face it! It is not an insult. It is fact: GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not UNIX".

Two ways bsdstats.org may be useful... to bsd
users and even to those before install wishing to
investigate hardware...
if/when the "ports" tab is fixed
For instance, when it was working I could see that I was
practically the only one reporting the use of
/glclock/; but other ports showed as being used that
one could investigate.
Additionally, it shows chipsets in use. (Persons wishing the
explicit name of an intel nic (used) that would probably
reliably work, etc).
FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT
Some information about other users hardware MAY be useful, but there is no data if it even works on FreeBSD, how it works or if its only present in the user's computer and user uses it on the other operating system (dual boot), or do not use it at all.

The distrowatch site expects to be monitoring the web browser their visitors use. Not a bunch of $X fanboys artificially pushing their OS/browser to the highest possible position.
IMHO this is stats poisoning ...
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
I agree with vermaden, that it isn't cheating: although I would use a cookie excepting perl script and a more robot-looking UA out of courtesy to the webmaster. As opposed to impersonating a *real* human user. Heck, my blog gets enough hits from Google-bot .
The problem is the temptation to network a couple hundred BSD boxes and hit distrowatch with each of them X times per second over cron jobs -- "Everyone says FreeBSD is a minority, but there's still enough users to crash distrowatch!" Boy, that would look cool.
Shame such things go against my sense of honour :-(.

This is just silly, if you want to get random usage statistics.. use it, this is an epic time waster.

Volatinia jacarina (blue-black grassquit)
Blue-black Grassquits (Volatinia jacarina) are also common field and fenceline birds. They are fairly ubiquitous in Costa Rica. A male Blue-black Grassquit performs his display flight & call - flies straight up from his perch on a fence post, about 2 meters, calls, flips over and lands, then repeats this over & over - the flapping sound is the vertical ascent each time.

I was chatting with people at SIGGRAPH and remarking on the fact that there is only one Turing Award winner for graphics (so far). The people there made the interesting argument that one of the reasons theoretical contributions appear to get Turing Awards more frequently (more on this below) is that theoretical papers tends to frame a problem in the context of related work far more meticulously.
Now this is something I have heard in other contexts as well (when seeing reviews of papers, reading papers etc). It is not too hard to see why this might be the case; theoretical problems are usually crisply defined, and it is almost always clear what results/techniques influence a given work (though not completely clear).
As an argument in favor of sound referencing, I like this one. We are taught (implicitly or explicitly) that referencing is important to place work in context, to acknowledge other's work in the "society of research", and ultimately to recognize that one's one work is never done in isolation but builds upon that of others. The argument that proper referencing creates a trail back to a source of inspiration is more than 'citation counts count !': it emphasizes what's important about careful referencing: that it builds a structured edifice of knowledge whose value can be perceived objectively.
Back to Turing Awards:
According to my highly unscientific classification method, theory-like disciplines (Algorithms/Complexity/Logic/Programming Languages) took a large, but not overwhelmingly large share of Turing Awards:
(Contains theory-like substance): 18 (11 Alg/Complexity + 6 PL + 1 Logic)
(We build stuff): 10 (3 DB + 7 Compilers/Arch/OS/)
(We are stuff): 5 (4 AI/1 Robotics)
(We count stuff): 2 Numerical Analysis
What category does Dijkstra fall into ? I left him out of this...

Video game publisher Trion Worlds is taking a big risk on Defiance. It's a transmedia experiment — a collaborative effort between Trion and the Syfy channel to produce a massively multiplayer online game alongside a television series. But is it any good?
I bought Defiance and didn't care for it. I then started playing Borderlands 2 for the first time because it came free with my new video card. I have to say Borderlands 2 is much more fun than Defiance was..
Never tried Borderlands due to shitty graphics. I, well, hate cell shading and cartoony gfx as a whole so Defiance is the winner for me.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The euro crisis may have inched closer toward resolution this week, but it still has miles to cover before a lasting solution is reached.
The market's positive reception to Greece's proposal for a bond buyback and hints over the weekend from German Chancellor Angela Merkel that official lenders could eventually countenance some write-off of Greek debt appeared to give the beleaguered Balkan country some breathing room and a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
But economists and portfolio managers examining long-term investment strategies for sovereign wealth funds at a conference at Columbia University this week saw the need for more radical action in Europe.
"Austerity is not a solution," said Philippe Ithurbide, chief strategist at Amundi Asset Management, a sponsor of the conference organized by Columbia's Committee on Global Thought and the Sovereign Wealth Fund Research Initiative. "Europe must now shift to growth." Read more about the conference.
Greece is hardly the euro's biggest problem. Ithurbide listed other urgent measures if the European Union is to restore credibility to the euro as a long-term project.
Spain must finally make a formal request for aid, so that the European Central Bank can actually use its firepower to keep yields on Spanish bonds in check. France, this analyst suggested, must dig in and pursue real reforms if it is to keep from slipping further in the competitiveness race.
Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, co-chair of the Global Thought initiative, set out even bigger challenges. He said there can be no long-term solution for the euro without mutualization of debt and a full-fledged banking union — not just the same regulations but common supervision, deposit insurance and resolution authority.
In investment terms, Ithurbide noted that most portfolios are underweight in European equities, suggesting there is an opportunity for countercyclical investors with a long-term view.
"The worst has not happened," he said. "Greece has not left the euro, there has been no contagion."
Nonetheless, there was a frustration expressed by various speakers and panelists about the austerity policies that have pushed Europe back into recession.
In addition to creating a recessionary spiral, these policies aren't even fostering the external adjustment that would help the peripheral countries because export prices remain rigid, Ithurbide said. "Without a reduction in export prices, internal devaluation is useless," he said.
His suggestion for investors is to focus on European companies that do a lot of business internationally, outside Europe.
The focus of the conference was more on process and portfolio theory than on analysis of country or sector risk, so questions were raised more by way of example than to arrive at any determination of what the future holds for Europe.
And in fact none of the participants — who included several notable economists and portfolio managers from European sovereign wealth funds (not in the euro zone) — pretended to have an answer to that.
It's easy to see why. Suppose for the sake of argument that the buyback auction launched this week by Greece is successful, that the country gets its bailout funds and meets all the commitments it has made to reduce its deficit and then actually gets its debt down to 124% of GDP by 2020 as planned.
Then what?
By then Greece will be full of workers as productive as Germany? By then a euro primarily based on the prowess of the world's fourth-largest economy will make Greek exports and tourism competitive? The problem of export prices identified by Ithurbide has not been solved.
What is to prevent the cycle of misaligned current accounts from beginning again? Will Germans suddenly turn into big spenders and the Bundesbank countenance a slightly higher rate of inflation?
Merkel has said the EU needs a greater degree of political and fiscal integration if the euro is to survive. But the steps she has envisioned are not big steps and Germany balks in the meantime at the more pragmatic financial measures urged by Stiglitz.
The participants in this conference had no crystal ball to predict which way Europe would turn. However, they did have some theories and formulas for weighing uncertainty and risk — and Europe will continue to provide plenty of both for investors for the foreseeable future.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT men's water polo team earned its first three wins of the season as the Engineers welcomed six intercollegiate and two club teams to the Zesiger Pool for the annual MIT Invitational. Ranked No. 5 in Division III by the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), MIT defeated Washington & Jefferson, 17-6, Boston College, 15-7, and Boston University, 15-3. Tech's only blemish over the weekend came at the hands of nationally-ranked Cal Baptist, 13-10.
The Engineers (3-4) kicked off their tournament Friday night versus Washington & Jefferson. MIT broke the game open early, mounting a 7-1 advantage after one period. Mark Artz led the scoring attack for Tech with five goals. Freshman goalkeeper Columbus Leonard was impressive in net, stopping 11 shots while holding the Presidents to just six goals.
MIT returned to the pool Saturday night as the club team from Boston College attempted to derail the host squad. The Eagles kept it close through the first two frames, trailing just 6-4 at the half, but the Engineers responded in the second, tallying nine goals in the final 16 minutes to win 15-7. Senior Mike Smith-Bronstein was the high-scorer for the match with five goals, while junior Devin Lewis contributed four. Leonard was solid once again, totaling nine saves for the contest.
Ranked 20th in the CWPA national poll, Cal Baptist would provide a stiff test for the MIT squad. The Engineers hung close early on, knotting the game at four on a goal by sophomore John Preis 30 seconds into the second period. After trailing by three at the half, Tech would get as close as 11-10 with just under four minutes remaining, before finally falling 13-10.
In their final game of the weekend, MIT took on Boston University Sunday afternoon. The Engineers jumped on the Terriers early, opening up a 10-0 lead after one period, and did not look back, winning 15-3. Preis led the scoring with three goals. Rob Kalaworosky, Nick Souza, Brett Boval, and Nikola Otasevic each contributed a pair of scores.
MIT will be back in the Zesiger Pool on Thursday, September 18 at 7:30 p.m. as they welcome the Harvard Crimson. The two Cambridge schools have met 86 times in their history, more than any other Tech opponent, with Harvard holding a 68-18 advantage.

Lyons leads 6th-seed Arizona over Belmont 81-64
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Mark Lyons scored 23 points and the sixth-seeded Arizona Wildcats rolled past No. 11 seed Belmont 81-64 Thursday night in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
The Wildcats (26-7) used their huge size advantage to shut down the Bruins (26-7), who are 0-6 in tourney games.
Arizona held a 44-18 edge on the boards, outscored Belmont 36-18 in the paint, blocked five shots and outshot the Bruins from 3-point range.
The Wildcats made 9 of 17 3-pointers, including a critical one from Solomon Hill with 4:40 remaining to stop an 11-2 Belmont run, and shot 57 percent overall.
Bruins guard Ian Clark entered shooting better than 46 percent from 3-point range but was 3 of 8 from beyond the arc.
Kerron Johnson led Belmont with 22 points and Clark finished with 21.
Kevin Parrom, Kaleb Tarczewski and Nick Johnson added 12 points each for Arizona.
The Bruins were the trendy pick to upset Arizona because of their 3-point shooting, but they never could get it going. They were 2 of 13 at halftime when they trailed 32-20.
Arizona led by as many as 21 points, 64-43, with 7:45 remaining before Belmont went on a 10-0 run, capped by back-to-back 3-pointers by Clark and Mann. The 3s came just seven seconds apart as Mann stole the inbounds pass.
But Parrom countered with a driving layup and Hill hit another 3-pointer --Arizona's eighth -- to bump the Wildcats' lead back to 15 points, 69-54, with 4:29 left.
Arizona's size advantage was evident early as the Wildcats jumped out to a 14-4 lead thanks to a 14-3 edge on the boards and cold shooting by Belmont.
The Bruins made 1 of 11 to start, and were 0 of 4 from beyond the arc in the first eight minutes. Arizona also blocked a pair of Belmont shots.
Belmont wouldn't hit its first 3-pointer until Johnson's step-back shot with 10:55 left in the first half. Blake Jenkins followed with a towering dunk off a pass from Johnson to pull the Bruins to 14-9 and Clark's first 3-pointer got Belmont within 16-14 with 8:33 left in the first half.
Arizona closed on a 16-6 run to take a 32-20 lead into the break.
At halftime, the Wildcats had made twice as many 3-pointers (4 of 9) than Belmont (2 of 13).
Clark was just 1 of 5 at halftime, although he was hitting 50 percent overall for 11 points in the opening half.
Hill, Arizona's second-leading scorer, struggled with early foul trouble. His second foul, with 16:49 left in the first half, was on a technical, and he picked up No. 3 with 2:59 remaining in the half and sat down after scoring just three points.
Lyons was a steadying force, driving for layups and hitting 3 of 7 3-pointers.
He also put an exclamation point on his performance with a put-back dunk that gave Arizona 80-64 lead with 1:22 left.

It amazes me how spoiled you guys out west are when it comes to National Parks. There are already lots of National Parks out there, and they were created from Federal Government land at no cost to the western states. In order for us back east to have Shenandoah National Park, the state of Virginia had to buy the land and donate it to the Federal Government.
I guess it comes from that western attitude that says westerners should have the right to tell the Federal Government how to run its western property (without interference from easterners), even though it is owned by the wole country and was bought and paid for by easterners.

Washington (CNN) — When the nation's top transportation security official announced a plan to allow some small knives on planes, he spoke to a group receptive to his message: international aviation folks that already allow knives.
It may be the only receptive group.
In the week since Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole made his announcement, a parade of groups has stepped up to voice opposition or concern.
The list is a virtual who's who of what the TSA typically calls its partners or stakeholders in aviation security.
Among them:
– The American Federation of Government Employees, a union that represents the nation's 50,000 airport screeners.
– The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, a nonprofit group that represents an undisclosed number of federal air marshals.
– The Flight Attendants Union Coalition, a group of five unions representing 90,000 flight attendants.
– The Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations, which represents pilots.
– U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the senior Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee.
– Major airlines, represented by their trade association, have expressed concern with the policy as a group. But individually, three of the five biggest carriers — Delta, American and US Airways — have come out against it.
Supporters of the initiative are more difficult to find.
None of the groups that the TSA labels "stakeholders" has publicly endorsed the small-knife policy, and only a handful of policymakers, lawmakers and security experts have lent it their support.
The Air Line Pilots Association International, the nation's largest pilots union, has neither supported nor opposed the knife rule directly, saying only that it supports initiatives such as Pre-Check that "focus on the real security threats instead of objects."
Despite opposition, TSA sticks with decision on knives
Pistole's predecessor, former TSA Administrator Kip Hawley, supports the move.
"In retrospect, I should have done the same thing," Hawley told CNN.
"The air marshals and the flight attendants have legitimate concerns, certainly, for their own safety. But the threat of taking over a plane with a small, sharp instrument is zero. And I think with locked cockpit doors, the air marshals themselves, the pilots, the passengers, the screening that goes in … you cannot necessarily prevent violence on an airplane, but that is not the TSA's mission. TSA's mission is to prevent a successful, catastrophic terrorist attack, and you cannot get a successful, catastrophic terrorist attack with a small knife or a whiffle ball bat," Hawley said.
The American Federation of Government Employees, the screener representative, voiced this concern:
"TSA has created a situation where TSOs (transportation security officers) will be required to discern the length and width of a knife blade in a very short period of time. Disagreements over the TSOs' determination as to whether the knife will be allowed through checkpoints may result in a confrontation," AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. said in a statement.
"Far too often, TSOs are threatened and even assaulted by irate passengers at the checkpoint; this ambiguous new policy will only escalate those incidents. In addition, TSOs face possible discipline from an increasing number of checkpoint disputes surrounding the new policy."
The TSA said this week that Pistole will stick with the policy and implement it, as announced, on April 25. In the meantime, he will advocate for the change Wednesday in a meeting with flight attendants and Thursday at a hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee.

Dust is a fact of life in rural areas, from driving on unpaved roads, to plowing farm fields and moving cattle from one location to the next.
Recently dust has even made its way to Washington, D.C. Coming under attack by activists, it has been made the focus of congressional hearings and legislation.
Rural dust is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, but a bill currently pending in Congress would remove naturally occurring dust from EPA oversight and out of the bull's-eye of activist groups.
A dust up
Dust is no stranger to farmers and ranchers. In some parts of the country, like the arid West and Southwest, it's as much a part of the ranch as the livestock and hay.
Rural dust is regulated through the Clean Air Act's National Ambient Standard. Areas, like in California and Arizona, that have a tough time meeting this EPA standard, are required to take further measures to reduce dust. But, unfortunately, a recent petition to EPA by activists has stirred up a dust storm in Washington.
The activist group WildEarth Guardians has targeted 15 areas in the U.S. as being in violation of EPA's dust standard. The group has given EPA 90 days to find the areas in violation of the law or it will take the agency to court.
Serves to protect public health
EPA's standard serves to protect public health, and consequently focuses monitoring to larger population centers. Yet, of the 15 areas that WildEarth Guardians are targeting, nine have populations with less than 20,000 people. The group wants EPA to clamp down on dust in areas like Parachute (pop. 1,006), Pagosa Springs (pop. 1,591) and Lamar (pop. 8,659), all in Colorado.
These are hardly the population centers in which these standards are meant to focus. By trying to meet additional regulations, these areas will literally have to limit driving on unpaved roads and plowing in fields, while hoping the rain falls and the wind doesn't blow. Failure could result in loss of federal highway funds, among other consequences.
Bite the dust
Currently, rural dust regulations are blowing in the wind, with many trying to determine which direction they may take. The Farm Bureau-supported Dust Regulation Prevention Act (H.R. 1633 in the House and S. 1528 in the Senate) would help eliminate uncertainty of regulation once and for all.
The legislation would remove naturally occurring dust in rural areas from EPA oversight unless scientific evidence can establish a causal link between rural dust and health effects. EPA admits that scientific evidence at best only "suggests" possible short-term health effects from rural dust, and further admits there is "inconclusive" evidence to show any long-term effects.
Most importantly, passage of the bill would also give certainty to farmers and ranchers that activities, which are natural and integral parts of their farms, are not unduly restricted. They would be protected from being regulated as a result of blowing wind or a lack of rainfall or any other conditions from Mother Nature, over which they have no control.

Beilein showing interest in 2013 F Gabe Levin
@HoopDreamsmag has a feature story on 2013 6-7 F Gabe Levin, who is now receiving interest from Duke and Michigan (although the story only references Duke). Looks like he didn't get any D1 offers in high school, so went to prep school for a year at St Thomas More. Currently committed to Hofstra (with a GW offer) but sounds like he's reopening his recruitment.
Btw, I love getting recruits who spent a year at prep school (McGary, Stauskus, Albrecht). That one year makes a huge difference in size/muscle and makes it more likely that they can contribute immediately. It leaves the player with four years of eligibility but pushes the four years back, allowing for more physical (and hopefully mental/emotional) maturity.

Surveillance Software Company Gamma Found To Have Violated Human Rights; Receives Unprecedented Slap On The Wrist
from the critical-decisions dept
British-German surveillance company Gamma has been condemned by a human rights watchdog for its failure to adhere to human rights and due diligence standards, after a two year investigation into the company's sale of surveillance technology to Bahrain.Here's what Privacy International says was happening in Bahrain:
The complaint alleged that Gamma sold its notorious FinFisher intrusion software product to Bahrain as early as 2009, after which time it was used by the Bahraini government to violate the human rights of three Bahraini nationals and human rights activists, Ala'a Shehabi, Husain Abdulla and Shehab Hashem.You're probably wondering what the penalty is if you are found in breach of human rights in this way -- clearly a serious matter. Well, here it is:
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's UK National Contact Point (""CP") concluded today that Gamma International should make changes to its business practices in order to ensure that in the future it respects the human rights of those affected by the surveillance technologies it sells.Yes, you are told to do better next time. However, looking at things more positively, Privacy International points out:
Today's decision is the first time that the OECD has found a companies selling surveillance technologies to be in violation of human rights guidelines, and one of the most critical decisions ever issued by the OECD. In it, the NCP sets out in strong terms that Gamma has no human rights policies and due diligence processes that would protect against the abusive use of its products.In other words, just as with the recent court victories against the UK government over its surveillance activities, what's important here is not so much the punishment -- or lack of it -- as the fact that for the first time a company selling invasive surveillance tools was condemned in this way. At the very least, it puts such companies on notice that they are being watched and will be hauled up before these kind of bodies for public shaming. Well, it's a start.

Watch: Ellen DeGeneres Announces Father's Death at 92
Ellen DeGeneres's father, Elliott DeGeneres, has died at the age of 92.
Ellen made the announcement on her "Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday, revealing her father, a former insurance man, died earlier in the week.
"Before we go to break, there's something else I want to talk about," she says in a clip posted to her Twitter account. "I mentioned yesterday when I was talking about all the mudslides that are going on in my community of Montecito, which is heartbreaking, I said that I had a lot going on in my life. In addition to what's going on in Montecito, I lost my dad this week.
"That is my dad, Elliot. That's me when I was, I don't know how old I was, but I do remember that picture," she went on to say with a black-and-white picture of herself and her dad displayed behind her.
"He was 92 years old, he had a good long life, and he lived his life exactly how he wanted," Ellen, 59, added. "He was Christian Science his entire life, he never had medicine his whole life - never went to a doctor. I never had a vaccination. We never had medicine growing up. And he lived to be 92."
Ellen said her father was "very proud of me."
"He loved this show and he was a kind man, very accepting man. There was not one bone of judgment in his body," she said.
She also said Elliot was "very funny" and believes she and her brother "got our sense of humor from him."
Ellen also shared she was able to "say goodbye to him" before he passed away. On Twitter, she added after he died, she saw a rainbow over the stage that Warner Bros. named after her.
Watch the clip below, along with Ellen's tweets about her late father.

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
During your visits to Mayo Clinic, you will usually be assigned to one Mayo Clinic doctor, who will coordinate your care. Your coordinating doctor will conduct your initial exam and decide which lab and radiology tests and other specialty consultations may be needed. Your local doctor(s) will be updated after your visit, as you direct.
We encourage you to bring a list of questions to discuss with your doctor and recommend that you meet alone without accompanying family members for at least part of your initial visit, to help develop an effective doctor-patient relationship. Consider having someone accompany you when you are receiving test results or follow-up instructions.
If your Mayo Clinic doctor decides that you should see other Mayo specialists, those appointments will be scheduled for you. Your doctor may also consult with other specialists behind the scenes. This team approach helps ensure that you receive all the expertise you need to find answers about your health problem as quickly as possible.
Your doctor will order diagnostic tests for you through a computerized system, and you'll receive instructions on any necessary test preparations. The results of your tests will be available quickly in Mayo Clinic's electronic medical record. Your doctor will discuss them with you, along with results of other consultations, and go over treatment recommendations. A report of your exam will be sent to you and your local doctor, as you direct, and will be available for you to view online.
To reduce the cost of care and provide the fastest access to test results, we prefer that all patients with computer access enroll in Patient Online Services — our secure, confidential patient portal.
If you and your doctor decide that you need hospital care, you'll be admitted to Mayo Clinic Hospital on the Phoenix campus. If you are too ill to be examined as an outpatient at the clinic, you may be admitted directly to the hospital. Admissions are arranged by a Mayo Clinic doctor, in consultation with your local doctor as appropriate.

Drug giant Elan (NYSE:ELN) scored fast track designation from U.S. regulators on Wednesday for its treatment designed to reduce symptoms in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease.
The drug, known formally as ELND005, is being developed as a treatment of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS) in Alzheimer's. Elan's ongoing mid-stage study involves 400 patients during a 12-week period with "at least moderate levels" of agitation or aggression.

The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday ELND005 met its fast-track requirements for drugs intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions, thus allowing it to help facilitate the development and expedite the review. The designation allows for more frequent conversation with the FDA and opens the door up for potential priority review.
In a previous Phase 2 study for the drug, Elan said ELND005 appeared to decrease the emergence and severity of specific NPS and led to a sustained reduction of brain Myo-inositol levels, which tend to rise in certain brain disorders including Alzheimer's.
"ELND005 is an orally bioavailable small molecule that is being investigated by Elan for multiple neuropsychiatric indications on the basis of its proposed dual mechanism of action, which includes β-amyloid anti-aggregation and regulation of brain myo-inositol levels," Elan said.
While roughly 5.4 million Americans and 7.2 million Europeans currently suffer from Alzheimer's disease, those numbers are expected to rise to 16 million by 2050, according to estimates cited by Elan.
The Irish drug giant said some 90% of Alzheimer's patients develop NPS, and up to 60% develop agitation/aggression over the course of their disease.
Shares of Elan traded narrowly higher around $14.15 in recent trade. They are up 39% year-to-date.

Leontius, Hypatius, & Theodulus the Martyrs of Syria
June 18
This Martyr was from Greece. Being of great bodily stature and strength, he was an illustrious soldier in the Roman legions who had won many victories, and was known for his prudence and sobriety of mind. When it was learned that he gave grain to the poor from the imperial stores, and was moreover a Christian, Hadrian the Governor of Phoenicia sent Hypatius, a tribune, and Theodulus, a soldier, to arrest him. Saint Leontius converted them on the way to Tripolis in Phoenicia, where Hypatius and Theodulus were tormented and beheaded by Hadrian for their confession of Christ. Then Hadrian with many flatteries and many torments strove to turn Leontius from Christ. All his attempts failing, he had Leontius put to such tortures that he died in the midst of them, under Vespasian in the year 73.
Apolytikion of Martyr Leontius & Companions
Fourth Tone
Thy Martyr, O Lord, in his courageous contest for Thee received the prize of the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since he possessed Thy strength, he cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by his prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
Kontakion of Martyr Leontius & Companions
Third Tone
Thou didst wholly put to shame the tyrants' wicked opinions and didst mightily rebuke the Greeks' ungodly religion; with the doctrines of true rev'rence, thou madest shine forth godly knowledge for all men, O wise Leontius, thou most godly-minded Martyr; wherefore with longing we keep thy mem'ry today.

Scott-I'm as low as I can go in my Viking oven, with the disk on the stone at 475F. I preheat for an hour minimum. I'll try your tip with the door. Maybe I'll also try directly on the stone as WestCountry suggested.
I'm as low as I can go in my Viking oven, with the disk on the stone at 475F.
Pat out to size then place on a pizza stone Pinch up the edge to create a rim. Top skin with 6 3/4 oz. sauce, preferred toppings and 10 oz. shredded low moisture part skim mozz.
firefly765,As a point of clarification and to help Loo better respond to your questions, are you saying that you are placing the skin directly onto a preheated pizza stone and then forming a rim, dressing the pizza, and baking it? Peter
Firefly, a couple things to clarify. First, like Peter asked, we need to know if you're placing your skin onto a stone then making a rim. That would mean removal from the oven and a probably a significant heat loss. Also, you've placed a disk on to the stone? Honestly, if you're placing the disk on to the stone in the oven you're going to get less than effective use of both. Dark disk right on to, probably, the middle rack. Dark disk too low will overcook the crust. Or you can move it to a higher rack position to finish the top after several minutes into the cook.You don't want to knead before forming the skin as it will probably make it a bit bucky for you. With the high oil content of this dough it will seem like it's not going to stretch very well without ripping. Pat it or roll it out to form the skin. It's been discussed in a couple of the HRI threads that the frozen operation uses a hot dough press to form the skins. I've found that pressing it out with our fingers and hands is good enough for home pizza making.Do you have any pics?Loo
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<What i do after the 2nd rise is place in covered oiled bowl overnight in fridge. Remove from fridge for ~ 2 hrs. form shell on a floured counter w/o kneeding. the dough is very fragile at this time. I'm not kneeding, would it help to kneed a couple minutes prior to forming into a shell? It's very tasty & flaky, almost like pastry, but not very elastic. If i were to pick it up & try to stretch it, my hand would go right through it.
You don't have a mixer and if you wanted to forego using the food processor, with this type of dough and it's high oil content, you do a hand knead you won't have to do it too long. Probably 5-6 minutes would do depending on how aggressively you go at it. I really don't know how cooking in a Big Green Egg or Little Blue Egg (does that exist?) for that matter works so helping you on that front...well, I'm not able to give you anything. This is one of those pizzas where one of the toughest things to pin down was hit right away. The sauce. It's an Escalon product but it's a watered down, pretty thin, puree with salt and pepper. Thin enough that I'll pour it in the center and pick up the disk and let the sauce run around on the skin to cover completely. I use an immersion blender to puree 6 in 1's. A hand shake of oregano on the sauce before topping and that's it.I'm going to repeat something that I think is really weird about this type of pizza. It's better after being reheated. Big oven, toaster oven, either way, just no microwave. I dont' know if that's because HRI frozens are 90% cooked and we finish them in the oven or what, but to really get a great recreation of HRI's pizzas a next day reheat makes this pizza shine. Strange. The neapolitan guys will roll their eyes at that. Loo
firefly765,Loo's recipe as posted at the start of this thread is intended to be used a fairly short period of time after the dough has been made. To this end, a lot of yeast, 1.75% ADY, is used. If you choose to place the dough in the refrigerator after the second rise, there is a high probability that the dough will overferment and become overly extensible and prone to tearing and thin spots. Re-kneading or reworking the dough will not be successful, as Loo noted. The dough simply wasn't designed for refrigeration. If you want to come up with a refrigerated version, you would have to significantly reduce the amount of yeast and possibly make other changes in the fermentation protocol. Whether you will get comparable results as the same-day version or whether you like the results as well are questions that you can only answer by trying a cold fermented version of Loo's recipe or a combination of room temperature fermentation and cold fermentation.

Question: I've been with the same car insurance company for over 10 years. I'm comfortable with them, but my friends say I'm overpaying. Is it worth my time to shop around with other auto insurers? Can I really save that much?
Continue Reading Below
Answer: Yes, and yes. Not only is shopping for car insurance much easier now -- you don't have to call multiple agents if you don't want to, because you can get quotes easily online -- and rates vary a lot from one insurer to another. Our own analysis of quotes from six major insurance carriers recently showed that nationally, on average, motorists could save 32% by shopping around. (See "Best states to save on car insurance")
I know about this firsthand. My husband had been with the same auto insurance company since he was a teenager and had no plans to ever change. But, after we moved a few years back we did our comparison shopping and found that staying with that provider would cost us over $1,500 more each year. It was a no-brainer; we went with another insurer that was just as well-known and financially stable, but cost much less.
Instead of spending hours calling around for car insurance quotes, you can now go online and in minutes be viewing multiple insurance companies' rate quotes. With sites such as CarInsurance.com, you can see the quotes side by side to easily see which auto insurance provider cost the least for your particular set of rating factors.
It is understandable that you have a level of comfort with your current car insurance provider, but stepping outside your comfort zone may save you hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars a year on your car insurance premium. (See "Pocket $1,102 just by shopping around")
You may receive a renewal discount or loyalty discount with your current insurer, but it's very likely that other companies may offer lower base rates and possibly other, better, discounts that will result in an overall cheaper car insurance premium.
Review "Your guide to car insurance discounts," so you know what to look for when shopping around. Also, if you are a low-risk, low-mileage driver, you may want to think about trying a pay-as-you-drive insurance program to bring down your rates.
When checking to see if other car insurance carriers can give you better rates than your current insurer, make certain you request quotes for the same coverages with the same limits and deductible amounts. If you don't, then one company may seem much cheaper than another just because you have lower limits, different coverages or chose higher deductibles.
Getting a car insurance quote online is quick and easy, as is purchasing a policy online since with many companies coverage can start immediately. The best time to shop around is the weeks leading up to when your current policy renews or when you plan to make changes to your current policy, such as adding a new car or driver.
Remember to verify your new car insurance policy is in effect before canceling your old one. You don't end up with an accidental lapse in coverage, which can be very expensive.

Julie only has ONE real friend on the island, she would take him.
Posted by: tinampg96 FWIW.....Lets think about if Chris didn't win IC. Humm, he would get booted, plain and simple he is the biggest threat physically in this game now. Twila and Jules would put him out in a heart beat if he was vulnerable, possible Scout, if Twila asked her too. Plus, the whole comment on the IC run, the only way its possible is for Chris to win the next 2, but that is just my humble opinion, take it for what you deem its worth.
Posted on: Today at 05:22:51 PMPosted by: Magiiila ^^^I agree with you, tinampg. Chris is the expendable one at this point of the game and a big threat, too. He's gonna have to capture the IN in order to stay.As far as points for the Fantasy league,Riverrat, if Jules wins RC that's 20 pts. If she's booted that's -25 points, so she'd net you minus 5. Scout could at least be zero!
Posted by: drumstyx47 why is everyone saying that chris is the threat. if i'm in the final five i'm breaking up twila and scout so that they can't force a tie in the final four. i'd vote off twila and take scout to the final three, knowing that she would be hopeless and me and whoever is with me would be automatic final two.
Anyway ..I'm so excited about tomorrow night and Sunday that I can't think straight .Are you going to be here with me Sunday night chakeeta? huh huh please ??

Thought You'd Never Ask: "Weird Al" Yankovic
(The following interview is featured in the new 54th GRAMMY celebration issue of GRAMMY magazine. Read the full issue online.)
After 30-plus years of music making — including 13 albums and three GRAMMY wins — it doesn't feel quite right to refer to "Weird Al" Yankovic as a novelty act. In fact, the polka-loving parodist has become something of a music industry institution. Perhaps one of the clearest signs that an artist has arrived is when Yankovic has deemed their work worthy of a comedic makeover.
Yankovic has made a career of not taking our favorite stars too seriously, with targets ranging from the Knack ("My Bologna") and Michael Jackson ("Fat," a GRAMMY winner for Best Concept Music Video in 1988) to Nirvana ("Smells Like Nirvana") and Green Day ("Canadian Idiot"). Last June, Yankovic released Alpocalypse, giving the funny treatment to the likes of B.o.B ("Another Tattoo"), Miley Cyrus ("Party In The CIA") and Lady Gaga ("Perform This Way"). Across decades of shifting popular tastes, there's still a method to his patented weirdness.
After a five-year recording hiatus, Alpocalypse picked up two GRAMMY nominations, including Best Comedy Album. That's a nice "welcome back."
It's a very nice feeling, actually. When I put out an album I want to believe it's my best work to date, and it's become more difficult to top myself, at least in my own mind.
For a while it looked like "Perform This Way" might not be part of the album. Are things OK with you and Lady Gaga now?
Absolutely. Normally, when I write a parody it's after I've already gotten the blessing of the artist. But this was an odd situation where I was asked to submit lyrics to her first. Then I was asked to submit the finished track to her. Then she said no. Except that she never said no and didn't even know I'd asked about the song. It was a manager who had me jumping through hoops. Once Gaga found out about it, she was totally onboard.
In the video for "Perform This Way," you digitally transplanted your head onto a rockin', scantily clad Gaga-style body. Is it safe to say this is one of the most disturbing things you've ever done?
I would hope so. I was aiming for something "disturbilarious" and I think that was achieved. Another of my contributions to society: nightmare fuel.
You now have 14 GRAMMY nominations and three prior GRAMMY wins. Is GRAMMY night getting a little blasé for you?
Uh, no. There's nothing as exciting as that first win when you are suddenly transformed into a "GRAMMY-winning artist."
Food has figured prominently in several of your parodies: "Eat It," "Lasagna" and "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch." What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?
In my movie UHF I ate a Twinkie-wiener sandwich. You split a Twinkie lengthwise like a hot dog bun, put a wiener on it — tofu dogs are acceptable — then cover the wiener with spray cheese. I ate seven of those during the shooting of the movie, and I believe they're still with me.
After more than 30 years of parody experience, how would you rate the music industry's sense of humor?
The artists have always had a pretty good sense of humor. It's a badge of honor for a lot of them. Management and record labels and various people who are supposedly protecting the artists sometimes get in the way, but I've got a good track record now. I've been told that after I did the Nirvana parody, Nevermind sold an additional million units. See? "Weird Al" can be an important part of your business plan.
Any advice for young, weird children dreaming of a career in parody?
It's dangerous work — let a professional handle it. And by that I mean: the job's taken.
