Researchers at three national scientific laboratories have teamed up with state water experts, environmentalists and local irrigation officials to study how to increase hydropower generation in the region while still providing enough water for farmers, ranchers and fish.
The scientists want their efforts in the Deschutes River Basin — the Deschutes River, from the Pelton Round Butte dam complex south to the headwaters, and the Crooked River, along with their tributaries and canals — to serve as an example for other regions around the nation.
Instead of considering each hydropower project and its effects on fish and water flow separately, the study approaches them from a basinwide perspective. The resulting research could help speed up the approval processes.
Developers will be able to explore many potential sites in the basin at once and see the impacts they would cause up front, rather than dealing with them in the middle of the approval process.
In past decades, the major push and pull on rivers has concerned the desire to generate renewable energy from dams and the desire to protect waterways for fish. The Northwest's largest dams, built in the 1930s-70s, decimated fish runs.
Now researchers are identifying locations throughout the basin suitable for small
hydroelectric projects that would not impede fish.
Collaborating to spot opportunities for improving stream flows, generating power and ensuring water for irrigation districts across a river basin, rather than one location in it, can yield benefits for all involved parties, such as lowering analysis costs and forming partnerships among otherwise disparate groups, according to a report on the progress of the study, which was released in September 2011, halfway through the project.
Nearly every hydropower-related group imaginable is participating in the study, from the U.S. Department of Energy on down to the Central Oregon Irrigation District.
Almost 50 people represented cities, irrigation districts, utility companies, federal agencies and other groups at a July 2011 meeting on the study. Scientists from the Pacific Northwest, Oak Ridge and Argonne national laboratories attended, too.
The groups have been working on the project since 2010, with about $1.2 million spent so far. It will wrap up with a final report and online resources by the year's end. The study's outcomes could assist people on a local level, around the state and nationally.
While hydropower is not new to Central Oregon, the Deschutes basin has emerged as a national leader in establishing smaller-scale hydroelectric projects, and untapped opportunities abound, the report states.
"Working through these projects takes a lot of effort," said Simon Geerlofs, a
Seattle-based Pacific Northwest National Laboratory analyst who's managing the study.
Selecting the Deschutes
Despite the establishment of small hydro projects in the basin, it took almost a year for researchers and people working with them to weed out other river basins before they selected the Deschutes in February 2011.
Criteria for selection included existing hydropower projects, "significant opportunities" for future hydropower generation and environmental restoration, coordination or leadership across the basin and the ability to share lessons learned with other river basins.
Portland General Electric's willingness to work with other local organizations made a difference in choosing the Deschutes for the pilot project, according to the report.
Generating up to 376 megawatts of electricity — which can power more than 280,000 homes — at the Pelton Round Butte dam complex it owns with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Portland General Electric is "the major power producer in the basin," the report states.
One distinguishing character trait for the Deschutes basin : 90 percent of its water is for agricultural purposes, according to a 2011 report from the Deschutes Water Alliance, a long-term water-management planning group.
But other river basins in the U.S. may have their own unique considerations , which makes the Deschutes study relevant for other basins, Geerlofs said.
Irrigation, he said, is "the third leg of the stool" in the Deschutes basin.
It was apparent to Geerlofs and his colleagues from the beginning of the study —
toward the end of 2010 — that irrigators would need to be considered for the study, because almost all the basin's hydroelectric projects are tied to irrigation districts, Geerlofs said.
Cache of sites
Now that the researchers have accumulated more than 60 sites for potential hydroelectric generation in the study area, they are figuring out how the sites relate to one another, Geerlofs said.
Researchers will upload to the project website (see "On the Web") key findings and reports they produce during the project's two-year duration. They will also release an online tool for visualizing power-generation and environmental-improvement opportunities on rivers and canals and effects on other water users.
Case studies will be posted on Central Oregon Irrigation District's 5-megawatt Juniper Ridge hydroelectric project and Swalley Irrigation District's 750-kilowatt Ponderosa hydroelectric project, both of which came online north of Bend in 2010.
The two installations exemplify the importance of accommodating multiple interests in hydroelectric development, Geerlofs said.
"You don't quite understand how complicated this stuff is until you get into it," he said.
The final report itself should be released by year's end. Another meeting of local representatives should follow soon thereafter, he said.
Once done with the Deschutes study, the researchers plan to look at other river basins around the country and carry out a process similar to the one under way now, Geerlofs said.
Accelerating processes
Locally, the researchers' results could support planning efforts for the Deschutes basin, which has been going on since around 2004, said Tod Heisler, executive director of the nonprofit Deschutes River Conservancy.
The online visualization tool for analyzing a variety of scenarios, possibly including the effects of climate change, could be the best resource available so far, Heisler said.
"This is a tool that we hope will help us look at some of those big water-management issues and help us ... put together a better regional water-management strategy and agreement," he said.
The tool could smooth out the approval process for hydroelectric facilities, because applicants should be able to see potential impacts to the environment and water supply before submitting proposals, said Kyle Gorman, manager of Oregon's south-central region at the state's Water Resources Department.
And the tool could show the public how minimally projects in canals affect fish and water supplies for farmers, said Jim Wagner, a consultant working with Earth by Design Inc., which is planning a hydroelectric plant on a North Unit Irrigation District canal north of Haystack Reservoir.
Looking at all interests across a whole basin makes sense to Erik Steimle, head of licensing in the United States for Toronto-based Riverbank Power, which wants to build a 7-megawatt hydroelectric project at Wickiup Reservoir.
"Hydropower is a clean source of local electricity, and new products can be built in ways that are in concert with the local environment," he said.

By Jackie Rodríguez
I am not to blame for the unemployment crisis in Florida. Yes, I have been unemployed. And yes, I have collected unemployment to support myself and my family. After two years since I was last laid-off, I finally found a new opportunity just a month ago. It was not easy, and I do not blame myself. But I do point my finger at the economy and the greed of our current economic system that only looks out for those on top.
The news is all a flurry with the idea that unemployed people, like I was just a few days ago, are the ones to blame for the situation we find ourselves in. This round of "blame the victim" is nothing less than despicable, shameful and downright dishonest. Let's look at the facts behind the blame game.
In Florida, for every job created last year there are 25 people who still need a job. Our state has a whopping 12 percent unemployment rate. While there are one million unemployed people in our state, less than half are receiving unemployment insurance. Nationally, profits have more than recovered from the worst of the economic crisis, raising 12 percent since 2007, but unemployment continues to grow.
So what gives, and why am I to blame?
It's easier to blame me, the victim of our economic system, than it is to look for the real culprits, the ones with their hands in the cookie jar. And let's be honest, the real culprits are the unrestrained finance industry focused on the quick buck and greed, rather than building a whole society.
By blaming me, big business and corporate interests are let off the hook. They are playing a dangerous game of taking advantage of public outrage during difficult economic times. By directing my neighbor's outrage at me, it's easier for them to slide out of their responsibilities as economic entities in our state.
This redirection distracts my neighbors, and even me, away from real solutions to the current crisis for workers in this state. We are put on the defensive, and more concessions are pushed by big business to offset the toll I am supposedly taking on them. In reality, these policy shifts that the business community is pushing for will harm the public structures in our state that protect not only unemployed workers, but all workers. By blaming unemployed workers, businesses are blaming all workers, when corporate interests are the ones setting agenda in our state.
Rather than blame me, business leaders need to work with legislative leaders and us unemployed workers to craft policies that create fairness, security and equality in our state. Until business stops kicking us while we're down, we can't be expected to get up off the ground.

HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam are expecting a berth in the knockout stage of the Asian Football Confederation U20 Futsal Championship, which will be held in Thailand next week.
The team arrived in Bangkok nearly a week ahead of the event and will train hard in preparation for the matches.
Speaking with reporters prior to their departure for Bangkok on May 7, coach Hector Souto Vazquez said he was pleased with his players' performance during their three weeks of practice in HCM City.
The Spanish said things were on the right track and the players had showed their determination and strong mind. However they still did not have enough competition experience, which was their main weakness. It was why he wanted to come to Thailand early so that the players had enough time to get familiar with the gymnasium and the weather.
The team also plan to play two friendly matches -- Uzbekistan on Wednesday and China on Saturday -- ahead of the tournament.
Vazquez said through these matches, his players would sharpen their skills and gain insights because both teams were strong rivals. This would help him not only choose the right team, but also make his players more confident for the official games.
The tournament is being organised on May 16-26 at the Bangkok Arena and the Huamark Indoor Stadium.
Việt Nam are in Group B with Japan, Chinese Taipei, Tajikistan and Indonesia.
There are 16 other teams competing in three different groups.
The group winners and runners-up from each group will qualify for the knockout stage -- the quarterfinals.
Coach Vazquez said information about the youth teams was not updated regularly, therefore he had very little idea about Việt Nam's rivals.
However, he said Japan and Indonesia were expected to be very strong teams. Japan's senior team were an Asian powerhouse, while Indonesia had a quality youth training system, with tournaments for the U16s and U18s.
The coach also said Tajikistan had played a friendly match with Uzbekistan and won 7-4. Following that result, he had decided to keep an eye on the team.
According to the head of the delegation, Trần Anh Tú, Việt Nam are targeting a berth in the quarterfinals.
Việt Nam will face Tajikistan in their first match on May 17. Their next rivals will be Indonesia (May 18), Chinese Taipei (May 19) and Japan (May 20). — VNS

Common Self-Publishing Mistakes: Using OOPS (Only Other People's Stuff) in Nonfiction
If I see yet another self-published book of nonfiction that includes or refers to a ton of other people's material, I am going to lose it. In some of the more egregious examples of these works, easily half or more of the entire book is not the author's original ideas. (I saw one where I estimated only about 10 to 15 percent of it was truly the author's). I've seen so many of these books over the years that I've finally developed a name for them: OOPS (Only Other People's Stuff).
The OOPS material is typically good material. However, including it usually does nothing to improve the author's book and may even put the author in legal jeopardy. Here's why.
The most likely types of books where OOPS is a problem are motivational and inspirational. They are usually filled with stories and quotes from some of the world's foremost thought leaders and events, past and present. Because what is used is so commonly known within our culture, I find myself speed-reading or skipping over it entirely as I read these books. Some of these segments could even be classed as cliché.
If, like me, readers are skipping over cliche stories and quotes, they may miss important points the author was trying to make. And if the volume of cliched material is large, readers may think that the author is lazy or unoriginal (which might be true).
No Self-Confidence
Constantly and blatantly referring to OOPS material can overshadow or even degrade the author and his message.
Maybe it's done because the author is not willing to take a stand on a certain point. Or he may think that his own message or thoughts are not good enough. So he includes OOPS material to build his shaky stance. Readers can pick up on this lack of confidence and have less confidence in the author. This is especially bad if the author is hoping to be seen as an expert by self-publishing a book.
Nonexistent Association and Name-Dropping
Worse is when an author uses OOPS material in the hopes that readers will make a positive association between the authority and the author, even though the association is nonexistent. Sometimes these authors want to bask in the reflected glory of an authority figure or are resorting to name dropping to pump themselves up.
Once readers figure out that the author has no connection to the authority, the author and her book can be viewed with suspicion. If this book was to be used as a "business card" for her business, she has just caused mistrust in her readers, which will not help her build sales.
Dead Men Can't Agree With You
In many OOPS cases, the author will state his thoughts. Then, immediately after, will swing into the quoted material, prefacing it with, "As [insert name of famous person from the past here] said..." Because of the juxtaposition and framing of the quoted material, is the author suggesting that the famous person from the past would agree with him? Dead men aren't in a position to agree with you. Don't imply they do.
There are self-published authors who feel that the physical weight of their printed book will help their book seem more real or relevant. Because they're gunning for a large word count, they may be tempted to pad their book with OOPS quotes and stories just to fill space. When readers discover that a large portion of a book is just retread, they'll feel cheated because the author cheated.
Legal Risk
Some of the books I've read include dozens, if not hundreds, of OOPS bits. I cannot even imagine how long it would take to gain written permission for every one of them. Even research to see if a quote is in the public domain is a long, arduous process.
Some authors who use copyrighted material include a statement that invites readers to contact them if any copyright violations are identified. Wow! Did they just tell everyone they didn't do their due diligence?
The potential for receiving a nasty cease and desist letter, a demand for royalties, or a lawsuit increases with every unauthorized use of copyrighted OOPS material in a self-published book. Remember, when a book is published for sale, fair use is unlikely to be a defense for the inclusion of other people's quotes, stories, and images. Seek legal advice on obtaining proper written permissions for quoted material and/or to confirm public domain status of quoted material BEFORE publishing.
Questions to Challenge Use of OOPS
OOPS is a preventable self-publishing disease. Here are some questions to keep it from ruining your self-published nonfiction book and future.
Why do you want to include this quoted material? What purpose will it serve? If you include it just because you like the story or quote or who said it, I'd have to ask you, "So what?" Readers have likely seen this stuff elsewhere.
What is your position on this topic? Why do YOU believe this way? If the only reason you believe something is because someone else said so, you weaken your position.
Have you received written permission to use quoted material OR confirmed it as being in the public domain? Again, seek an attorney's help on how to properly use quoted material, gain written permissions for it, or confirm its public domain status in order to help mitigate your legal risk.

I needed this class. Thanks a million for these very useful insights. You encourage me trust my own creativity rather than OOPsing.
This disturbs me when I see it! There are times when a writer will need to repeat a piece of writing, but they are few and far between, even the 'motivational' material can be rewritten by an author, even if only to give a slightly different perspective.
That's my view anyway.
I gave up on reading those motivational books long ago because I was finding nothing new or interesting in them. I prefer to read something that reflects an author's strong stand and their aggressive defense of their position with actual personal examples. Never pass up the opportunity to send a truly horrible book back for a refund. Money talks.
There is a self-published author on Amazon who I will not name so that he cannot sue me for libel whose "motivational books" are just summaries of other well-known authors' books. He brazenly names the authors and books that he is summarizing and adds a little text of his own. Nowhere does he say that he has the authors' permission to do this.
Yup yup and yup! This is just an excellent article
We've been seeing this in the motivational/self-help field for decades. It's mostly all recycled information branded under a new name. Just one reason why I quit reading it back in the 90's. Great points made here, my Guru!

One of the Doctor Who characters I really like is Francine Jones, Martha's mother. To be clear, I doubt I would like her at all if I met her in real life, but the character was well-drawn. I've seen a number of discussions about the character in which people felt that she was unbelievable and too hostile to the Doctor for no reason, and I disagree. Her opinions and actions may seem to be unbelievable, but that's because her character was developed with a lot more subtlety than most of the other characters on the show.
People who don't like Francine point to "The Lazarus Experiment", where she first meets the Doctor and takes an immediate and fervent dislike of him. Granted, he does not make a good impression. While he thinks he blends in well with humans, he really doesn't, and he outdoes himself in this instance, trying to make small talk and more or less implying that he's been sleeping with her daughter. Detractors point to this scene, saying that Francine is extremely judgmental here and should not have hated him so much after just one meeting.
However, Francine's reaction to the Doctor must be considered with her personality and history in total, which we learned of back in "Smith and Jones". We only see very little of her and her family in that episode, but the scenes were expertly crafted to give you a very good overview of everyone in the family. We first see her when she's talking to Martha on the phone, telling her daughter to refuse to allow her ex-husband Clive's girlfriend Annalise to attend Leo's birthday party. She only gets about five lines before the next phone call, from Clive, cuts her off, but those five lines are very telling. We see that she lives in a nice house and wears fine clothes. She's obviously upset primarily about the divorce and her husband's young and vapid trophy girlfriend, but her exact complaint is that the girl's appearance at the party would make the family "look ridiculous". Thus, her concern is status. Her family is well-to-do (as is evidenced by Clive's ability to afford an expensive convertible sports car), and she's very concerned about how they're viewed. Later on, we see that she's very proud of one daughter studying to become a doctor and the other becoming the personal assistant of a prominent scientist.
That night, her fears about the party come true: there's a huge, embarrassing fight between her and Annalise, ending with almost all of the family chasing Annalise and Clive down the street yelling. This scene and the cell phone montage paints a complete picture of the entire family, with Francine being the one who's used to being in control, Clive being ineffectual and letting his women walk all over him, and Martha as the level-headed one who usually acts as the peacekeeper. However, there's one last thing that happens here: Martha disappears from the party, and no one knows where she went. This is obviously something unusual for her: her mother mentions it the next day, and Tish makes a comment about Martha, the ambitious and studious sister, suddenly having a social life.
Thus, this is the stage that's set when Martha arrives at Professor Lazarus' event. Francine is there to celebrate her younger daughter's success, something that reflects well on her and her family, but her older daughter arrives witth a strange man no one has heard of before, after disappearing the previous night. Rather than tell the approximate truth – that her friend accompanied her because he's interested in Lazarus' project – Martha introduces him as a doctor who she's been working with. However, on speaking with him, Francine finds him to be socially inept and rather idiotic, certainly not someone you'd think was a doctor. He's unable to come up with anything that he's done with Martha, and it's implied that she jumps to the conclusion that they slept together. From a mother's point of view, this is the worst kind of man her daughter could hook up with: stupid, flippant, distracting her from what's important. It's also very possible that he reminds her of the previous stupid, flippant, distracting person who disrupted her family – Annalise – and in that vein, his apparent race does him no favors.
Once the episode's action starts, the Doctor only makes things worse. As he's concerned only about Lazarus and the dangers he's unleashed, he ignores Francine and knocks her drink down her dress, and once the family is safe outside, Martha leaves them to go back into danger to help him. And thus, her hatred of him is cemented: he appears to be everything that's wrong for her daughter, and her daughter has taken leave of her senses to follow him. It doesn't matter that he saved the lives of most of the people at the event. Francine's statement that Martha "abandoned" the family for him is very telling: in her eyes, Martha is giving up all of the things that Francine feels is so important – status, a comfortable life, a good education, a career – for this unworthy man. Any mother would feel the same way.
Things only get worse from here. Remember, from Francine's point of view, all of the events of Series 3 happen over the course of a couple of weeks at most. "Smith and Jones" occurs only a few days before the election of Harold Saxon as Prime Minister, and in the UK, the new Prime Minister takes office as soon as the old one resigns and the new one is appointed by the monarch. The Doctor and Martha go off to have their adventures, and all Francine knows is that Martha is suddenly never home and not answering her frequent calls, except for a couple of strange emergency calls which imply that Martha has started to cheat on her exams. Of course, Francine is also being swayed by Harold Saxon's people, who are feeding her exactly what she wants to hear: how dangerous the Doctor is and that she has to get Martha away from him. It isn't until she's taken prisoner does she start to realize that the people she's been listening to are lying and maybe the Doctor isn't so bad.
Taken as a whole, Francine is an understandable character: a rather imperious but otherwise protective mother who is attempting to prevent her daughter from falling in with who she perceives as the wrong man. The thing is, her history, personality, and values are established in about ten lines of dialogue five episodes before she makes her judgment about the Doctor, and if you didn't remember them or didn't pay attention because they didn't seem important, her reaction to him would seem rash and overly harsh. It's important to examine recurring characters in this show very carefully, because you might miss something otherwise. The show focuses on the Doctor and his companion, but anyone that it feels deserves enough attention to be brought back is usually beautifully drawn and characterized and often has their own story to tell.

The cars were polished, impeccable and, above all, classic on Main street, Vineyard Haven Sunday when the Tisbury Fire Association Car Show rolled into town. The road was blocked off to traffic from 1 to 4 p.m. so that strollers could take in the sight of classic cars and hogs. Musicians lined the streets and burgers were served. The event is a fundraiser for the Tisbury Fire Association.

I am using the VISA pallete to acquire array of amplitude values (100 values) from CCS C compiler. Using this array, how would I generate a sine wave? I have attached what I have so far. Help would be much appreciated!
You need to explain what you are trying to do. Right now you are calculating the sine of your acquired data, is it what you want?
You will only get a 'sine wave' out of this if your acquired data is a ramp signal of some kind. Also your converted data is integer, so probably not a good resolution to use as input to a sine function. What is you data range and what are these 'amplitudes' representing? What is your end goal?
So, I have connected a microcontroller (pic18f6722) to the function generator. I have set the ampltude to 4.5V and the freq to 60 Hz on the function generator. If i were to connect the function generator to an oscilloscope I see a unipolar sine wave with an offset of 2.25V. I basically want to recreate that sine wave on labview. I have written code to collect the values of the sine wave and now I have used the VISA palletes to get the array of values in labview and make a graph out of it.
Hi beginner,
I basically want to recreate that sine wave on labview.
I have written code to collect the values of the sine wave and now I have used the VISA palletes to get the array of values in labview and make a graph out of it.
And what's your problem when you already have written code?
Thanks for the reply! And the code is over at CCS C and since I am a begineer at serial communication and labview I had some trouble generating a sine wave. I came close but the wave looked like a step function.
and it still doesn't explain why you are calculating the sine of your data (sine of sine if you original data already represents a sine wave). Could you at least post a data file with 'Voltages' values so we understand what you are acquiring?
I have attached an excel sheet with the voltage values acquired. For the time, it starts at 333us because that was the delay i used over at CCS C compiler. The graph shown in the excel sheet should be the graph i should be getting in labview
ok, get it. Your data consists of your sine tone data but I guess you do not read the time array.
If you extracted the two columns in your spreadsheet and created X (time) Y(Voltages) data arrays then you could graph it on a LabVIEW XY graph and get the same look as in your spreadsheet.
In your actual VI I would suggest you to try the following (to start with)
1 - Remove the sine primitive
2 - Replace the Decimal String to Number primitive in your FOR look with a Fract/Exp String to Number
3 - Graph the array out of your FOR loop directly to a waveform graph
If it looks like a sine tone, then you can move on and work on the time information (dt)
I only extracted the voltages from labview. I just used the time on excel to see how the graph would look like. How would I create a time array?
From your XLS it looks like you are sampling at 3 kS/s (dt = 0.33 ms).
Use the Build Waveform (Waveform palette) and input 1/3000 to the dt terminal and your data array to the Y terminal and graph it (likewise on a Waveform Graph).
If you can't get it to work, try to post you Voltage string array with saved values so we can check your string formatting.

The Arudia Win-Win Conversation Model
Associated Courses
Using The Win-Win Conversation, you will learn to solve problems more creatively and in a manner that is more likely to meet the needs of all involved – everyone from clients to colleagues and teenagers to toddlers. By focusing on the underlying needs rather than strategies, and by engaging others, the Win-Win Conversation results in others committing to decisions, even if such decisions fail to meet that person's needs. The key is for everyone affected to have his/her concerns heard, understood, and then prioritized as necessary.
The critical elements of a Win-Win Conversation are to state facts in a neutral manner, to understand one's own feelings and needs and those of others, and to distinguish the underlying need or goal from the strategy for achieving it.
Colleagues and leaders who use The Win-Win Conversation communicate more effectively because they focus on the goals first and the strategies second. Exploring and reaching understanding and (hopefully) an agreement on the goals is a critical first step in productive problem solving and negotiation of any kind. In addition, you will learn to use more neutral language, make requests in a manner that encourages clear, results-focused communication, and encourage others to use these same skills as they respond.

Casino gambling is a great way to enjoy yourself on the internet. With thousands of games to choose from you'll never be bored. There are lots of different types of slot machines, and many different ways to play them. One of my favorites by far has to be free cash slots online. Getting to a casino can be a really big mission if you don't live close by to one: expensive fuel and a lengthy trip is no one's idea of a good time. Free cash slots online give you the added benefits of not having to leave your house as well as being able to win cash for nothing! The games based on Vegas technology are usually the most popular, as these are the ones which give you the best chance of winning big! To maximize your winnings, know the number of coins to play every round.
Even free cash slots online require a great deal of self discipline. Stay calm and stick to the strategy that you worked out beforehand: make sure you set loss and win limits and stick with them! Make sure you clearly and fully understand your free cash slots online games rules and conditions, as rules can vary greatly from game to game. Don't download game onto your computer; rather play directly through your browser. There are so many different kinds of slot machine games to choose from, but obviously the very best would be free cash slots online! Vegas games are games of chance and luck. It's really important for you to bet the, maximum to get the best possible return. Choose as many options as you possibly can, to get a massive win!
With free cash slots online you have a limited amount of cash to work with, but it's always best to have as big a bankroll as possible to allow for maximum wagering. Sit on your cash for a little bit, then start with two coin games, then move on to three coin games. You have a good change of hitting the jackpot if you strategize! Slots are becoming more and more popular with both novice and experienced gamblers for their entertainment value. Free cash slots online are one of the biggest forms of entertainment online today, and are often used by players to test drive a new casino. Once you get your skills leveled up, you can play any of these games with great success, and cash in! For the best odds, always play the outside of the Online Roulette table where there is a fifty percent chance of winning.
Don't be hesitant to play casino games online, even though the idea is sometimes daunting: one worries about scams and whether or not one will ACTUALLY get paid out. But stress less! Before you dedicate your money to a particular casino, go through all their payout and bonus policies, and any other fine print to be sure you are not taken for a ride. Make sure you fully understand the rules of all the games you are playing so you don't wind up confused or disappointed. The most important thing to remember is to always have fun!

Ohio Divorce Frequently Asked Questions
This list of frequently asked questions and answers on issues of separation and divorce has been developed by Divorce Headquarters in conjunction with our professional members in response to the numerous requests for information we have received from our site visitors.
The authors and creators and any and all persons or entities involved in any way in preparation of the website known as Divorce Headquarters and/or divorcehq.com disclaim all responsibility for the legal effects or consequences of the interpretation of the information provided. Individuals intending to use divorcehq.com as an information resource should seek advice from family law professionals and experts familiar with the laws of their state. This website is not intended to provide legal advice and should not be relied on for that purpose.
Follow Us On
Do not take any actions based upon the information contained within this web site without first consulting an attorney or an appropriate professional depending upon the content of the information.
Return Can I use a mediator instead of an attorney?
No. The roles of a mediator and an attorney are distinct and separate. A mediator does not represent either party or provide legal advice. Frequently a mediator may request the parties to seek legal counsel for clarification on issues in order to facilitate a resolution. Once an agreement is reached, the mediator will write up the resolutions. It is for an attorney to put the agreement into proper form for filing with the court and to be sure that any mandatory language is included, as well as prepare any additional court required forms and pleadings.
This answer supplied by: (513)632-5317
Return What is a separation agreement?
A separation agreement is an agreement between husband and wife that sets forth how all duties and obligations are to be separated or allocated when they live separate and apart. A separation agreement can be entered into before any filing of a complaint for divorce or any time after a filing of such a complaint.
This answer supplied by: (513)632-5317
Return What is the difference between a Divorce and a Dissolution?
Both a divorce and a dissolution result in a final court order that terminates the marriage and allocates all debts, assets, sets forth all support orders and provides the terms of the parenting arrangement. The difference is in the process of how you get to the end result.
This answer supplied by: (513)632-5317
Return What needs to be decided in a parenting plan?
Parenting arrangements include more than simply the time allocation for the children with each parent. A complete parenting plan should include the following:

Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church is delighted to announce that we have called the Reverend Gusti Linnea Newquist to be our new pastor. The congregation voted to approve her terms of call at our September 15 congregational meeting in a unanimous vote. The Rev. Newquist brings with her a wealth of education and experience that make her uniquely suited to lead SPC into our future. Highlights include:
• MDiv, HarvardDivinity School• BA, Marshall University• Assistant Campus Minister, Presbyterian Campus Ministry, Marshall University• Weeks 1+2 of Interim Pastor Training• Master Level Reiki Training• 9 Years of pastoral experience serving congregations• 8 years with the National Network of Presbyterian College Women, General Assembly Staff, PCUSA• Immigration Network Co-founder and Co-convener, Albany Presbytery• More Light Presbyterians, Regional Coordinator
A Biography in Her Own WordsRev. Gusti Linnea Newquist
I spent my early childhood in Fredericksburg, VA and spent many summers, week-ends, and holidays in the Shenandoah Valley. My family joined the First United Methodist Church of Fredericksburg when I was five years old, and by the age of ten I was debating issues of faith with my Sunday School teachers. (I'm only partly proud of this!)
My family moved to north Alabama when I was eleven, which changed my worldview forever. I became "an outsider," and struggled mightily to "fit in." I also came face-to-face with racism and segregation even in a supposedly "integrated" school system. We continued to be active in the United Methodist Church until my sophomore year of high school, when my father had a falling out with the power structure of the church. I, myself, was discovering other religions at that time and was content to step back from a formal church experience.
I intended to remain what is now termed "spiritual but not religious" until pure peer pressure led me to the Presbyterian Campus Ministry at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. First, I was drawn into the social ministries of the group: visiting nursing homes and providing activities for teenagers who had been removed from their schools by the court system. Then, I was drawn into the possibility of "a thinking faith" that invited more and more questions in exchange for "pat answers." Finally, I was drawn into deep love and caring offered by the campus minister to students across a very dramatic theological spectrum, love and caring that I ultimately understand came directly from an experience of the living God.
I leapt at the opportunity to serve at the Presbyterian headquarters in Louisville with the National Network of Presbyterian College Women and ended up staying for nearly eight years. When the opportunity arose to climb the corporate church ladder, God called me instead to matriculate full-time at Harvard Divinity School. At the time, post-9/11, I knew God was calling me to interfaith peacemaking (Harvard is an interfaith community), and I suspected God might be calling me to campus ministry or academia.
Little did I know a small, thriving community adjacent to Tufts University in Somerville would lead me to discern a call to the parish! Wow! The preaching, the teaching, the caring, the healing, the opportunities for communal action drew me in and have never let me go. I finally accepted what I never imagined possible in my Bible belt upbringing: God was calling ME to be a pastor!
Upon graduating from HDS, I have served three More Light congregations across the country and have discovered I have additional gifts for strategic visioning, spiritual formation, adaptive change, teaching Bible, bridge-building, and deep listening. My recent training as a Spiritual Director and Reiki Master have deepened my commitment to contemplative connection as the foundation for all social action.
As a poet, preacher, teacher, and healer, I was thrilled to learn of the ministry of Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church. Although I was "not actively seeking" to leave my ministry in upstate New York, I just couldn't shake the sense that God might be trying to bring us together. In many ways, Shepherdstown already feels like "home."
Ethel is a spiritual director with an ongoing interest in how the Spirit is experienced - and practiced - in everyday life. This underlies all of her work at SPC, including the adult education and formation programs, small groups, liturgy planning, campus ministry, and spiritual direction. She has been on staff at SPC since 2004.
Ethel holds a Masters of Theological Studies in Spirituality Studies from the Washington Theological Union, where she pursued an abiding interest in saints, sinners, mystics and mysticism. She is a graduate of the Shalem Institute's Spiritual Guidance Program, where she also served on staff for several years. She is also a recovering economist, and a graduate of the American University with an MA in International Economics. Proud parent of Alison and Sara, she lives on the beautiful Potomac River with her husband Jeff and assorted critters.
Kathy has been with SPC since August 2004. She grew up in Northern Virginia, but after meeting her husband at college in Richmond, moved to his hometown in Bergen County, NJ, where they raised three children. Upon his retirement, they moved back to this area. Kathy has been a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected children for over 10 years, and a volunteer at Jefferson County Community Ministries (JCCM). She has 8 grandchildren spread out on both coasts whom she doesn't get to see often enough. She resides in Shepherdstown with her husband, Chip, their dog Charlie, 4 rescue cats and 4 very spoiled chickens.
Georgiann Hinchcliffe Toole is a West Virginia native who lives in Shepherdstown, where she has directed the SPC choir since 2005. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Shepherd College (Shepherdstown, WV), a Master of Music in Conducting from the Conservatory of Shenandoah University (Winchester, VA), and a Ph.D. in Music Education from The University of North Carolina-Greensboro. She has taught choral and general music in public and private schools, and music education courses at Shepherd, Shenandoah, and UNCG. Dr. Toole is Shepherd University professor emerita, and currently teaches professional development courses for educators.
A strong proponent of the value of musical performance activities for people of all ages and ability levels, Dr. Toole has served as singer or conductor for many church and community music programs, and as clinician, adjudicator, conductor, and composer for county and regional honors choruses in West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Her compositions are widely performed, and are published by St. James Music Press.
Morgan Sell is a community organizer, activist, artist, and mother, living and raising her children in Jefferson County WV. Born in Shepherdstown, Morgan attended Shepherd University in 2008-2013 and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education (k-12). She has attended the Shepherdstown Presbyterian church most of her adult life and has worked as a youth leader for the past four years, travelling to DC and Baltimore on youth mission trips, as well as leading community service efforts right here in Jefferson Co. WV. As a youth leader, Morgan hopes to support, encourage, and celebrate the youth of the church as they grow and evolve into young adults. "Great is the mystery of our faith."

After a 20-year career that saw him become the highest-paid, most-recognizable, though not necessarily the best soccer player in the world, David Beckham is going to hang up the cleats at age 38.
Beckham won 10 league titles in his 20 seasons, most recently with Paris Saint-Germain, which had offered him a deal for next season. But he decided this is the time, and will officially retire after his final two games with PSG.
"If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over 100 times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy," he said.
"I'm fortunate to have realised those dreams."
Let's take this opportunity to share highlights of Beckham (and memories of some truly excellent United and England sides). His free kick against Greece to put England into the 2002 World Cup:

A few comments on the Labor Force Participation Rate
Last week an article misrepresented my writings on the Labor Force Participation Rate (not a big deal, this happens). But this gives me an excuse to post a few graphs and discuss the likely path of the labor force participation rate (LFPR) over time.
Back around 2010 and 2011, when the unemployment rate started falling, following the great recession, a number of observers claimed that the decline in the unemployment rate wasn't a real improvement in the labor market, and that the decline was mainly because of the decline in the participation rate. I had the opposite view. For example, in 2012 I wrote:
"Bottom line: If someone says the "actual" unemployment rate is much higher than reported because of the decline in the participation rate, they are unaware of a key demographic shift."And also in 2012 I wrote:
"Any bounceback in the participation rate as the economy recovers will probably be fairly small, and that the decline in the overall participation rate is mostly due to demographic factors."Click on graph for larger image.
This graph show the overall labor force participation rate over time (the red arrow points to approximately when I made the above two comments). The LFPR continued to decline for a couple more years, and then moved mostly sideways over the last 5 years.
A key point: Those expecting the LFPR to bounce back to prerecession highs were mistaken.
Because of the demographics impact, and the impact of some long term trends (more people going to college is an example), I recommended using the LFPR for those "25 to 54 years old". I post this every month after the employment report is released.
Note: The reason everyone uses this age group (aka "Prime age group"), is the BLS puts out data every month for this group. If we looked at say "25 to 59" or "25 to 64", we'd have to do a little more work (I've done this, but mostly I stick with the 25 to 54 group).
Here is the participation rate and employment-population ratio for this key working age group: 25 to 54 years old.
In the earlier period the participation rate for this group was trending up as women joined the labor force. Since the early '90s, the participation rate moved more sideways, with a downward drift starting around '00 - and with ups and downs related to the business cycle.
With more younger workers (and fewer 50+ age workers), the prime participation rate might move up some more. The employment population ratio is almost back to the pre-great recession highs.
This is why I've recommended using this graph (not perfect, but more useful than the overall participation rate).
So what will happen to the overall participation rate going forward?
The BLS estimates that the LFPR will decline to around 61% in 2026 from the current level of 62.9%. See T. Alan Lacey, Mitra Toossi, Kevin S. Dubina, and Andrea B. Gensler, "Projections overview and highlights, 2016–26," Monthly Labor Review, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, October 2017. There will probably be an update to these projections soon.
This graph shows the LFPR and a projection to 2026 (some other projections show the LFPR declining even more over the next decade). Note: I drew a straight line from today to the 2026 projection - it is possible that the LFPR will move sideways before starting to decline - but the rate will eventually decline further.
I'll post some more details soon. But the bottom line is the overall LFPR has declined due to demographics and some long term trends - and will decline further - and that the "prime age" LFPR is more useful for observing the recovery.
Here are a few of my posts on the LFPR over the years (this is a small sample):
• Why the Prime Labor Force Participation Rate has Declined
• Understanding the Decline in the Participation Rate
• Employment: A decline in the participation rate was expected due to the aging population
• Comments on the Employment-Population Ratio
• Labor Force Participation Rate Projection Update
• The Declining Participation Rate

Time for another Random Dozen! Click the doughnuts to check out Linda's blog!
1. Define a great relationship.
Dorothy and Sophia...sad, I know...but I watched a little too much "Lifetime" channel when I was a young mother at home.
2. Why is it called a "drive-through" if you have to stop? (Real question: What was the last food/drink you purchased at a drive-through?)
I pulled through "The Pitt Stop" (yes that's with two t's...and the store is shaped like a barn) for a sausage dog and a 32 oz. Dr. Pepper...for breakfast.
3. As I type this, the Butler Bulldogs are getting ready to play in the NCAA championship game. Every Hoosier is hysterical about this except me. So in honor of the Bulldogs ... what is your favorite breed of dog? (I tried.)
the kind that doesn't pee in the house
4. If you had to move to a state besides the one you currently live in, where would you move?
Montana. I also would pick Montana as a name for a child, the kind of minivan I used to drive and my favorite US quarter.
5. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
the glamour, the fame, the fortune...who knew the damage it would do to me as an adult?
6. Who's the funniest person you know?
my granny, Phyl...she could make crocheting funny
7. Did you get enough sleep last night?
Considering I watched 11 episodes of "Lost" on Netflix last night, I'm guessing "No"
8. What's the first thing you thought about this morning?
"I'm gonna get fired" (I woke up late...see question #7)
9. Grilled or Fried? --HONESTLY
I live in the South. I ate fried celery at our last church potluck.
10. Are you afraid of the dark?
no, but I am afraid of the small family of trolls who live under my bed (I had a mean aunt who liked to tell scary stories before bedtime)
11.When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
not sure exactly what I wanted to be, but I knew whatever I became as an adult, it had to include the following: tree climbing, hole digging and fort building...and amazingly those three activities were listed in my current job description!
12. If you had one word to describe yourself , what would you choose?
today? splotchy...

It's common to have psoriasis diagnosed as something else. Eczema, for instance. It's less common for a doctor to look at your 7-year-old son's body and say "bed bugs."
This was an experience Jessica Houston and her son, Patrick, had in January 2016 in the aftermath of Patrick's bout with strep throat and pneumonia. What started as spots on his chest had turned into thick plaques and blood on his scalp by the time his parents took him to a pediatric dermatologist in July 2016. "We don't have psoriasis in our families," Jessica says. "It seemed to appear out of the blue, and we were just feeling our way along."
The doctor diagnosed Patrick with plaque psoriasis and put him on what Jessica calls "a hefty dose" of a systemic. (Systemic medications are prescription drugs that work throughout the body.) This improved his psoriasis – slowly. He still had spots on his face and on his genitals.
Overcoming geographic isolation
The Houstons didn't know anyone in their hometown of Knoxville who had kids with psoriasis. They knew a few older people with psoriasis. They felt isolated. "I'm a mom, I'm in Tennessee, I'm not getting anywhere," Jessica says.
After Patrick's diagnosis, she went online and found the National Psoriasis Foundation. She joined the Psoriasis One to One program, which connected her with a mother in New Jersey, an experienced volunteer named Michel Tarabocchia whose daughter has psoriasis.
Tarabocchia told Jessica about NPF's National Volunteer Conference planned for Chicago that August. They attended and were both thrilled by the conference. "For the first time, Patrick got to meet other kids with psoriasis. It helped his confidence a lot," Jessica says. "He loved the pool at the hotel. It was a real breakthrough for him because for the first time he could go swimming with other kids with psoriasis without wearing a T-shirt."
At the conference, Jessica learned about other treatments, including biologics, which the family's health insurer was originally reluctant to pay for. Jessica, with the help of her local pharmacy, was able to overcome this obstacle, too, and Patrick went on a biologic the following month.
"To look at him, most people wouldn't know he has psoriasis," she says. Patrick has some spots due to the Koebner phenomenon, when psoriatic plaques form on healthy skin near the site of an injury. The systemic he was on in 2016 never cleared those up; the biologic cleared them in six weeks.
Patrick's condition went from severe to mild. Jessica reports that he no longer flares whenever he's sick, not even last Christmas, when he had the flu.
Patrick, now age 9, is also having a better experience with children at school. "Kids are curious, not malicious," Jessica says. "They ask questions. They want to know."
At one point, she asked Patrick if he would like her to speak with someone at school. But he said, "No, Mom, because we already explained it, plus we put that book in the library." That book, Bernie's Secret, published by NPF, is available as a free PDF.
Today, Jessica wants to meet other adults who have children with psoriasis in the Knoxville area. She hopes to start a support group and put on events. When Patrick's spots appeared, she felt lost. She doesn't want other parents to live in isolation as they did.

Cultured Cuties
A country in the middle of Europe, although not precise, you will find the area of Romania. Sharing borders with Hungary and Serbia, Romania is the ninth largest country on the continent, home to almost twenty million citizens. The capital, Bucharest, is a popular tourist destination because of the steep culture of the country, and we imagine the girls are part of the appeal for a certain calibre of gentlemen. A quick internet search and some of the most beautiful women we've ever seen are produced. This is the exact reason so many of the EscortsTouch Romanian escorts in the gallery are in such high demand.
Relaxing Romanian Escorts
We're glad that so many gentlemanly admirers want to go out with the Romanian EscortsTouch escorts as it shows the ladies that all their hard work to stay in shape is not in vain. They are much adored, and return the favour by unleashing their promise of appeal on their clients. Their most loyal customers know how artfully discrete they are, only drawing attention to their beauty rather than anything else. There aren't terms and conditions set out; the Romanian EscortsTouch escort that you spend time with just asks that you be polite, respectful and above all, relax.
Treat Yourself
This is the perfect opportunity for busy city boys or those that just need a break, to really chill out. Relax and let your companion for the evening ease any tension that you may be harbouring. They are also a breath of fresh air that you may be yearning for. And that accent won't exactly kill the mood; we think it will do the exact opposite. So why you're still waiting and deciding if you should spend time with one of the EscortsTouch Romanian escorts the UK has to offer, we will never know.

The actual number of shots taken to play a hole or a round is known as the 'gross' score.
To calculate how well he or she has played, the player deducts his handicap from the total to work out the 'net' score.
For instance, if a player with a handicap of 20 takes 90 shots to go round a par 70 course his net score will be 70 - which means he will have 'played to his handicap' - ie returned a net score the same as par.
You can also work out your score for each hole as you go along as illustrated above.
If you do not have a handicap you can work out what it roughly is by subtracting par for the course from your total.
For instance if you return a score of 98 on a par 72 course, you will have played to a handicap of around 26.
Your handicap score is actually calculated by the standard scratch score but this method gives you a ball-park idea of where your game is at.
What are these?
