Oregonians would lose $2,500 per year in health care money if the new Cassidy-Graham bill becomes law, repealing Obamacare.
Wait, how much money? Avalere Health studied the impact of the bill and found Oregon would lose $13 billion over 10 years and $111 billion over 20 years.
Why are we losing so much? Oregon was one of the states that eagerly embraced Obamacare and expanded Medicaid coverage from 600,000 recipients to over 1 million according to The Oregonian. At least 400,000 Oregonians are projected to lose their health care by 2020 under the legislation. The states that fully participated in Obamacare tend to be Democrat-leaning and now they stand to lose the most.
Why is this happening now? Republicans have until September 30 to repeal and replace Obamacare with 50 votes in the U.S. Senate. October begins a new fiscal year and Democrats could filibuster a bill at that point, requiring 60 votes to break the filibuster and pass legislation.
Any good news? Yes. John McCain announced that he will not support the bill. He was the key vote that killed the last attempt to squash Obamacare and his "No" vote likely means the legislation will fail.
We should not be content to pass health care legislation on a party line basis ... I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal.

Q: Explain affirmative to interrogative in Present Simple I am trying to find a good, correct explanation for how to change the sentence from an affirmative to an interrogative in the Present Simple tense, for instance:

*

*I am a boy. = Am I a boy?

*He eats meat. = Does he eat meat?

*We sleep at night. = Do we sleep at night?

*You are his friend. = Are you his friend?

Why in some cases it is "to be" and in others the modal verb "do"?
I know how it works, but I can't explain.

Discussion on Speed up the game without speed hack within the CO2 Weapon, Armor, Effects & Interface edits forum part of the CO2 Guides & Templates category.
Ok I'm no hacker I'm not even much of a programmer however I did kinda tweaked some loop intervals and speed times of the video. I cant take the credit for this i saw it here somewhere and by who i cant remember so sorry !!!
What i did notice is he removed all the effects so the game ran uber fast with no effects to slow it down.
Basically make a backup folder and place the original file in it then delete the file in the original folder and unzip and place the one I altered in the folder restart co and put the game in high priority and just have fun.
Could you explain what the FrameInterval and LoopInterval timings do?
So,you mean that you speed up the loading time of the spells.But,if your game client have not receive the packets of another guy casting a spell,it can't load a thing.


Roebling Road Raceway was first opened in 1959 and still maintains many of its simple charms today. The paddock primarily consists of grass and dirt with the exception of a small paved route that carries cars to and from pit lane. Approximately eighty percent of the track is surrounded by a small pine forest with several trees remaining inside the paddock. I was there providing track support along with my former employer, Autometrics Motorsports for a host of Porsche wielding clients. This is when I first met Leh Keen, resting in a camping chair in the shade of a tall pine. He was sitting quietly with the latest copy of turbo magazine in hand while his father circled the track in his beloved Bitburger 993 Cup car -retired from the Supercup Porsche Cup Car series. His father, McGrath Keen was heavily into Porsches.
To his chagrin Leh had an affinity for Toyota Supras. It's hard to blame him, it was 2001 and the sport compact car craze was nearing its peak with The Fast and the Furious movie debuting later that same year. He went through this Japanese car faze for a handful of years (secretly harboring a love of Porsches) owning both a 700 hp Toyota Supra, and a 1991 Nissan 240 SX completely transformed into its JDM counterpart, the Silvia. Both cars were highly modified and provided Leh's first brush with the speed bug. Actually, that's not completely true. McGrath also owned a retired Ex LeMans Factory 993 GT2 race car, and had a friend with a small airport -you can probably guess where this is going. The combination of these two elements led to Leh's first driving lesson, and high speed Porsche experience -one of many to come.
Airport runways are relatively flat, have nearly zero surprise visitors, and nothing to run into. I cannot imagine a more perfect environment for a father to pass on the Porsche bug to his son. That deeply bedded seed may have taken some time to mature, but Leh eventually made the transformation from a Porsche fan to a professional driver for such companies as Brumos Porsche, who Leh helped lead to a Championship in 2011. The list of Leh's racing accomplishments is extensive and the culmination of this experience has led him to his next endeavor, The Keen Project.
Having spent over a decade attacking the tarmac on tracks around the world, he has aimed his sights at dirt and gravel, recreating the Safari 911 in his own image. To be clear, Leh doesn't spend his days spinning wrenches, he leaves that for the highly qualified individuals and shops that he personally cherry picks for each stage of the build. The builds tend to go something like this: A clean example of a 1978 to 1989 911 Porsche is located, vetted and delivered. Once the car receives Leh's approval, he and the client sit down to hash out the details. What color do you want it? What unique fabric to highlight the interior? Whale tail spoiler or ducktail? Would you like a rally style light pod on the hood, or no? The options are vast.
As far as the power-plant goes, Leh likes to keep things simple and reliable. Normal maintenance is covered such as valve lash adjustments and minor leaks are addressed. While the motor is out, the transaxle is separated from the crankcase and the stock flywheel-clutch combination is replaced with a light weight assembly. The factory heat exchanger is replaced with an SSi unit and a Dansk muffler finishes out the exhaust modifications. The final piece is a K&N filter which Leh says is much easier to clean than the factory filter. These simple mods allow the engine to breathe a bit better but, more importantly, bring that highly desired classic-air-cooled-flat-six symphony to life. The suspension setup continues with the simple yet effective theme. Leh works directly with Elephant Racing who provides modified struts to increase ride height and suspension travel. The torsion bars are upgraded and a set of heavy duty ball joints are placed up front. Adjustable camber plates are then mounted in the strut towers to finish things off. Leh personally drives each car to ensure that the entire setup is well balanced both on and off road. The exterior is where things get interesting.
In traditional Safari form and function, there are a slew of modifications and upgrades available to look the part. The large rally style, hood mount, light pods provide more than just looks, they are outfitted with four round off road lights. The outer lights are fog pattern while the two center lights are spot beams. This provides more than enough light for backroad fun at night. There are a few different options for toggle switches to meet the needs of each client. A tube bar was fabricated to protect the front end from bumps and scrapes and is mounted directly to the chassis for strength. Mudflaps are bolted through the body for a clean look and to protect the chassis and other vehicles from flying debris.
The rear deck-lid can be configured to meet the client's tastes (I personally love the classic looks of the ducktail). A set of BFG KO2's are mounted to the standard Fuchs wheels, but there are many other wheel options available as well. The rest of the exterior is setup based on the needs of the client with options such as roof racks, fuel can mounts and rear lighting available.
The interior is kept clean and period specific with vintage bucket seats and a roll bar. To save weight, the rear seats are removed and replaced with a factory RS delete kit. The vintage bucket seats are then wrapped in 1970's Porsche factory tartans and new old stock factory Recaro prints. The lower dash is wrapped in matching material and topped off with a new steering wheel and matching shifter combination. All of these changes come together to create a true driver's car.
The completed project is extremely fun to drive and highly capable while looking the part -without standing out too much. The Safari is one Porsche that doesn't mind a few scratches or dents, which is what I think makes it so great. Leh is currently starting on Safaris #7 with several more in the hopper. If you are interested in owning one of your own, you better act fast, because the line is getting long.
Safari snow fun in NC this weekend.

How to Use Antiperspirants
By Jonae Fredericks
Alliance/iStock/Getty Images
Your glands produce the perspiration that eventually leads to moist underarms, and moist, dark conditions create the perfect environment for bacteria to breed. When sweat and bacteria combine, underarm odor forms. The president of the American Academy of Dermatology, Dr. David Pariser, advises use of an antiperspirant applied at night, as opposed to in the morning, to control underarm odor. The use of an antiperspirant at night allows ample time for the active ingredients to seep into the pores, blocking excess perspiration.
Shower or bathe in the evening, washing your body and underarms with an antibacterial body soap. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel after washing.
Apply a thin, even layer of antiperspirant to your underarms after drying off. Slathering on a thick layer of antiperspirant has no added benefits.
Allow the antiperspirant to dry before putting on your sleepwear. Allowing the antiperspirant to dry will keep it from wiping off on clothing.
Reapply a thin, even layer of antiperspirant in the morning when you wake up. Once again, allow the antiperspirant to dry prior to dressing.
Repeat the process every evening before bed.
Do not apply an antiperspirant immediately after shaving. Wait a minimum of 24 to 48 hours after shaving to apply the antiperspirant to avoid irritation and rash.

Q: Connect to VPN Server from only my Android App NOT the whole device I have set up a VPN Server in an amazon ec2 server using softether (https://www.softether.org/) and want to route all the traffic from my android app through this server.
But all the solutions I have seen thus far use the vpn service class http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/VpnService.html, which creates a vpn tunnel for the whole device and not just my application. I want the other apps running on the phone to use the internet as normal while the traffic from my app is routed through my ec2 server.
Also this way if another app wants to start a vpn connection, my connection will be terminated as there can only be one connection and no simultaneous ones.
Is there anyway to do this? I am very grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers!

Coppertop has been covered by the white blanket since Tuesday morning. The thaw began in earnest yesterday, and now the steady melody of drip, drip, drip fills the air.
The melting snow isn't the only dripping we hope to soon witness. It's tapping time! In the couple of years we've lived here I've been researching tapping the abundance of bigleaf maples, Acer macrophyllum, on the property. I first wrote about these Northwest maples here, unaware of just how fascinated I would become with the idea of tapping them. Reliable information about tapping trees can be found all over the internet, and in particular, the book, Bigleaf Sugaring: Tapping the western maple, by Gary and Katherine Backlund, has been a helpful resource. The goal of all tree tapping is the collection of lovely sap which can be boiled down to produce maple syrup and other sweet maple edibles.
Last year we were a tad slow to the party, attempting to tap too late in the winter. Since then I've learned that in our generally mild climate, December tapping is optimal, in particular, following a change in temperature, i.e. a freeze and thaw. That brings us to today!
Hubby drilled 2″ deep into each tree's sapwood at a slight angle and drove in the 10 spiles I'd purchased. Some pairs of spiles and tubes run into one container. Our collection containers are just empty water jugs. We selected trees based mainly on location; research says trees at bottoms of slopes with some exposure to direct sunlight flow best. Tapping maples closest to the fenced area of our gardens simplifies emptying the containers, which, if the sap flows steadily, may need emptying daily.
These beautiful maples were adorned with huge, golden leaves just a couple of months ago. Now it almost looks like they're wearing some plastic, cheap costume jewelry bracelets. It all will be worth it if the sap flows!

I'll be sure to note our progress! Thank you, Eliza.
Wow! Never would have thought! Definitely keep us updated!
Will do! Hoping for a genuine thaw later this week. Sipping those yummy hot toddies while we watch and wait… hahaha!
Tapping in December? Remind me where you live, as I've forgotten. We tap in early March here in S. Ontario.
Hi there, Cynthia! Loved your sentimental post this morning. We're on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula — a pretty mild climate, although this month's been chillier than average. Locals and B.C. folks tap in December and January following changes in weather. We're hoping for another good thaw to get the sap flowing again.


Page 14, 7 August 1852 — CHOICE OF EVILS.
SIR—In your remarks on Mr. Lingen's letter, in your paper of July 24, you say that " no consideration couldjustify the votes of electors against their own political convictions." May I ask whether you mean that an elector is never justified in voting for a candidate of different polities from himself ? I sm anxious to know, because I had rather not run counter to a dictum of yours if I can help it, and if that is your meaning, I am afraid I have been doing so.
When there is a candidate whom you approve, your course is clear ; so I, as well as your Cambridge correspondent " A Whig," think it is when the personal eminence of a candidate, even though you differ from his views, renders it positively desirable that he should be in Parliament. My case is, when you have simply a choice of evils—when you have no candidate either whom you approve or who is of any personal eminence, but where, all being bad, some are much worse than others. This was my position just now in West Gloucestershire : we had three candidates, all of whom I thought objectionable, but of whom I thought one so much more objectionable than the other two as to make them by comparison positively desirable. I, who call myself a cross between .a "Liberal Conservative" and a "philosophical Radical," was solicited by two Protectionists and a Whig, none of them of the Macaulay or even the Walpole calibre. I had thus no candidate with whom I agreed on the whole; but with one there was an important individual point of agreement on the question of Free-trade. Nevertheless, I voted for the Protectionists; and I think not without reason. We had to choose be- tween Mr. Hale, a Protectionist squire, very slow and respectable ; Mr. Grantley Berkeley, who is somewhat better known to fame, and whom both his friends and his enemies persist in considering as a Protectionist in his own despite ; finally, the " Liberal" candidate, a young gentleman rejoicing in the name of Robert Nigel Fitzhardinge Kingscote, whose chief qualifies- tions seemed to be a handsome face, a long pedigree, the respectable patron- age indicated by his third name, and an entire ignorance of all political questions. He brought nothing with him but a few claptrap phrases about Free-trade and Liberal principles, combined with a miserable sectarian cry against Popery and Puseyism, most unscrupulously employed when neither of the other candidates could be accused of any leanings of the kind. On being questioned on several important points, local, colonial, ecclesiasti. cal, and general, he stood mute : there was nothing about them in the speech which had been made for him. Again, he was the nominee of two noble earls and a rich ironma-ter, who between them command many hundred votes, and who exercised their power most unscrupulously on his behalf. In fact, I could find nothing to agree with in him except the one question of Free-trade ; on other points, I could only make out that he represented religious intolerance and intimidation of electors. Did I not then do right, under these circumstances, in voting for Messrs. Hale and Berkeley, who, Derbyites though they were, did represent the main principle of all liberty, the right of Englishmen to exercise their elective franchise es they please, without reference either to the Tarquin of the castle or to the meaner tyrant of the pit ? In fact, though my vision may have been some- what obscured, I certainly saw in Mr. Berkeley's steed Beacon the very White Horse of Hengist, and in his rider nothing short of the embodiment of the laws of Sing Edward, the Great Charter, and the Petition of Right.
N.B.—Can you tell me if Mr. S. Laing, the new Member for Wick, is the same as Mr. S. Laing the distinguished author of "Notes of a Traveller" ? If so, we may congratulate the new House of Commons on the accession of one of the clearest and soundest thinkers of the day.

The Mamluk Bridge at Dayr Sunayd

Baybars, jisr/bridge, Dayr Sunayd, Great War/World War 1, Mamluk
A long-overlooked Mamluk bridge spanning the W?d? al-Hasi (Na?al Shiqma) between Gaza and
Majdal (Ashqelon) was built at the behest of Sultan Baybars about 1270, as mentioned by ?Izz al-
D?n Ibn Shadd?d in his Ta?r?khal-M?lik al-??hir. It was also noted in a variety of travel accounts
spanning the 17th through 19th centuries and it was even photographed in the 1880s. Later it
became a point of interest during the Great War when it was shelled by the British Navy as part
of the Third Battle of Gaza, yet it survived to be repaired. Since it was on an important road even
in 1948, it was destroyed by a unit of Palmach in an attempt to impact infrastructure. The bridge
is one of the smallest of the six known Baybars bridges, yet it fully fits with the technological
characteristics of the other examples.
Jeffrey A. Blakely, University of Wisconsin—Madison
Jeff Blakely started working in the region between Gaza and Qiryat Gat in 1971 when he was
a Freshman at Oberlin College. He received graduate degrees from Wilfrid Laurier University
and the University of Pennsylvania and has directed or co-directed a number of archaeological
projects in this very same region since the mid-1990s. Getting these projects published is
the current goal. Currently he divides his time between the University of Wisconsin-Madison
and Mississippi State University. Jeff and Brauna Hartzell, his wife, live in Madison, Wisconsin.

In Today in the Word the story is told about a woman who once came to Ibn Saud, the first king of Saudi Arabia, requesting that the man who killed her husband be put to death. The man had fallen from the top of a palm tree when he had been gathering dates and landed on this lady's husband and killed him.
The king said, "It is your right to exact compensation, and it is also your right to ask for this man's life. But it is my right to decree how he shall die. You shall take this man with you and he shall be tied to the foot of a palm tree and then you shall climb to the top of the tree and cast yourself down upon him from that height. In that way you will take his life as he took your husband's. Or perhaps," Ibn Saud added, "you would prefer after all to take the blood money?"
Also, as Jesus said, "He who has been forgiven little loves little." One way to love much, therefore, is to confess all our wrongs and sins, not only to God, but to the one/s we have hurt and do all we can to make restitution and be forgiven ourselves. For he who has been forgiven much loves much!
1. Jesus in Luke 7:47 (NIV).

Fantasy Radio's founder and breakfast show host Phil Dawson dies
Fantasy Radio's founding director, presenter, producer and engineer Phil Dawson has died at the age of 77.
Phil launched Fantasy Radio in 1995 in Devizes on 1386kHz AM, which then switched to FM in the summer of 1997 on 105.8 FM.
The station went on to win a full-time community radio licence and started permanent programmes on 29th February 2012.
The below is a tribute to Phil, as posted on the Fantasy Radio website.
His career started with Granada in Birmingham, repairing TV sets in people's homes. Phil moved on to recording bands from across The Midlands, many who went on to fame and fortune, at his home-built recording studio.
In 1974 he landed a job as an engineer at BRMB Radio where he used his talents as self-taught musician and voice-over artist running their commercial production studio.
He joined Wiltshire Radio in 1982 as commercial producer and engineer, then moved to Viking FM in Hull, but remained in touch with his Devizes friends and was heavily involved in Devizes Hospitals Broadcasting Service (DHBS).
Phil returned to live in the town, from where continued to run his own commercial production and jingles company Ginger Music and Ginger Productions, for some 40 years.
Ginger produced countless jingles and commercials for businesses, radio stations and TV ads aired across the country, including one of the most popular radio jingles heard on the radio in Wiltshire, for Corsham Building Plastics.
Since Fantasy Radio went full-time in 2012, Phil presented the breakfast show on the station every weekday morning from the studios in The Corn Exchange, Devizes.
He was still providing support and training to Fantasy Radio presenters, commercial production for the station, running live outside broadcast events and completing engineering tasks, right up until his death.

Every time I try to add Dynamics (Cloth, Hard Soft) to an object LW9.6 UB crashes. Even to a simple test object in a scene that only has that object and nothing else.
I'm relatively new to using LW. I trashed preferences but that didn't help.
NOTE: I was trying to do the LW SERPENT Tutorial...which was very helpful until I got to the Dynamics part. The attached zip is only the box object in the scene, no motion path, etc. to eliminate what could be causing the crash.


CRSA worked with a group of local stakeholders and community leaders to find a common future vision for Main Street in American Fork. American Fork's Main Street has been the economic center of northern Utah County for the past 100 years.

On Warmth: The Home of George and Cindy Riedel
The first day of spring this year finds our household digging out from under a round of the flu and six-inches of snow. So it's nice to think back just a couple of weeks to our visit to the home of George and Cindy Riedel, of Akron, Ohio. As luck would have it a brilliant sunny morning, since we were visiting with our friend, Chris Uhler who would be taking photos of the Riedel's home for us.
Theirs is a very special home, since it's the first timber frame construction that Dan was part of, and where he first saw the technique up close. Outwardly, simply a stately brick residence, tucked back in the woods on one of the winding, twisty, light-dappled roads that those familiar with the Cuyahoga Valley area know so well. But step inside and be prepared to catch your breath. Words initially fail, but if I had to pick one, it would be warmth. The warm glow of heavy timbers and wood finishes in the late-winter, early-morning light. The warmth of two wood fires, one a masonry heater, one a soapstone stove, emanating the most delightful kind of heat all around. And the welcoming smiles of George and Cindy, two of the warmest people I've ever met. They greet Dan at the door like family, call him "Danny," and express disappointment that we didn't bring our son, Danny, with us.
The home was built in three phases starting in 2003. For the first, Dan was brought in as a sawyer, and with his portable Woodmizer band-saw he cut on-site many of the timbers needed for the home from trees on the Riedel's own property. That's when Dan first met Roman, a master timber framer, and the two subsequently joined forces for phases two and three, which added a timber framed sunroom and porch covering at the rear of the home. Cindy pulls out a sheaf of photos from a kitchen drawer and lays them across the countertop. These are pictures of phases two and three, and Dan features prominently in many of them, wearing a bright green shirt and that white-blond hair that was his signature in his youth. As Dan and the couple reminisce, Chris circulates through the house, capturing details of the hand-craftsmanship, the beauty of the wood, and how the light plays throughout the space. I've always had a theory--as someone who has never lived in a timber frame--that the light would be one of the best parts about it. George confirms this, and it's not just the sunlight either: "We lie in bed and watch the moon move from one window to another." He pauses to run a hand over a nearby brace which retains the curve and contrasting sapwood of the walnut log it came from. "It never gets old," he says, confirming another of my theories of living in a timber frame home.
We owe many thanks to George and Cindy, as the people who first introduced Dan to timber framing, for cheering on his career since then, and also for inviting us to photograph their beautiful home for our website. Thanks also to Chris Uhler, who took the photos included with this post, as well as many more which you will begin to see on our website in the coming days and weeks.

Between the competitive hiring landscape and perk wars, recruiting engineers is tricky in the Bay Area, but not impossible!
On March 21, Michael Lipschutz from RockIT Recruiting and Jennifer Loftus from Swing Talent (both official RocketSpace partners with special offers for members!) are coming in to share their expertise in recruiting and retaining engineers. They will cover the ins and outs of finding and successfully hiring the best engineers, then how to retain and motivate them once they're on board.

Cab hailing service provider Ola has added another service to be a one-stop transport service provider. It is now piloting car rental service on an hourly basis.
A mail sent to Ola elicited no response.
This move by Ola is being considered to counteract Uber's market share in the country. Presently, both Uber and Ola offer on-demand service taxi booking. However, Ola also offers advance bookings during the day.
Although, both the companies have stayed away from offering hourly packages, so far, unlike its other counterparts like Savaari Car Rentals, MyTaxiIndia and other car rental agencies.
Being different from the other players present in the taxi aggregation space, Ola and Uber are fighting their battle in the secluded space to outnumber each other.
Homegrown Ola, which is valued at $5 Bn, is in strong competition with San-Francisco-based Uber, valued at $68 Bn. Recently, Ola had also started piloting an outstation service in Delhi and then expanding to other cities like Mumbai and Bangalore.
Earlier in March, it introduced its Ola Micro offering a ride for INR 6/km to take on Uber's UberGo service that was priced at INR 7/Km.

PEEP carried out the first study into intrapreneurship in Portugal, coordinated by Dr. Dana T. Redford. The study was promoted by the American Chamber of Commerce and supported by the Luso-American Foundation. The term 'intrapreneurship' refers to corporate entrepreneurship, an innovative approach to problem solving in a company. It can also be a way for companies to develop innovative skills among their employees.
The study involved 12 organizations active in Portugal, representing different sectors: Banking, Government, Insurance, Information Technology, Pharmaceutics, Non-Profits, and Social Services. The respective organizations were selected based on their answers to an online survey, which ensured the level of 'Intrapreneurship' each company featured.

Even TV's queen of mean can't resist the straight-talking MP from Paisley's patter.
Game of Thrones star Lena Headey has taken to Twitter to show her support for SNP MP Mhairi Black over proposed welfare cuts.
The actress who plays cut-throat Queen Cersei Lannister shared a Channel 4 News clip showing the Paisley and Renfrewshire MP stating her case.
The 23-year-old's impassioned speech was a reaction to the UK government's plan to rollout Universal Credit.
Britain's youngest MP, slammed the Tories' "continued justifications for slashing money from the poor".
After being heckled by the opposition, Black continued: "Plunging people into debt does not incentivise work.
"Forcing people into hunger does not incentivise work.
"Causing anxiety and distress, and even evicting some families from their homes, does not incentivise work."
English-born toast of Hollywood Headey shared the clip with her 1.4million followers with the caption: "I'm with her."
Earlier this week the actress revealed in a series of tweets how she felt "powerless" during an encounter with movie executive Harvey Weinstein.

Landmark Texas estate checks in on exclusive list of world's best hotels for 2023
Courtesy of Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Resorts Collection
The Commodore Perry Estate is one of the best hotels in the world.
A new list of the best hotels in the world — by Condė Nast Traveler, no less — may sound lofty and aspirational, but one is just a short drive from San Antonio: the now prestigious Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Resorts Collection.
Opened in 2020 and known for its lush Lutie's Garden Restaurant and beautiful Hyde Park setting, this resort signals luxury without stuffiness or cold modernity. On the contrary, most of its programming — some open only to guests and some specifically advertised to the public — is most attractive for its old-fashioned charm, with plenty of opportunities to dress up like inhabitants of classic American literature.
Condė Nast Traveler'sGold List 2023 indexes the best hotels and resorts in the world, divided by continents or even larger regions. Selections were made by editors who have visited in person, and narrowed the list down to "all-time favorite hotels that exemplify the gold standard of service and hospitality from around the world," according to a press release.
Austin's Commodore Perry Estate joins 10 other standouts in the "U.S., Canada, and The Caribbean." This collection, compared with the other continents, appears more contemporary, or at least leans less on old-world aesthetics.
There are no other Texas properties on the list.
The list points out the events calendar as one of the estate's strongest suits, but also discusses its colorful history, emphasizing the wacky-but-stylish characters who preceded Austin's iconoclastic reputation.
"We are truly humbled that Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Resorts Collection has received this prestigious recognition from Condé Nast Traveler," said Commodore Perry general manager Marco Bustamante in the release. "This recognition is thanks to our incredible Texan team whose dedication to creating immersive guest experiences and offering the highest level of personalized service have earned this incredible distinction."
Commodore Perry Estate's 54 rooms start at $445 per night. Book at aubergeresorts.com.

Retirements at Risk from Widespread Abuse of High-Risk Derivatives, Finds New Study by Demos & The Nation Institute
New York, NY – 'Shadow Market' investment products have come under scrutiny following the banking meltdown, but they continue to be aggressively marketed to clients who can least afford the potentially catastrophic losses. Millions of American seniors could see their golden years turn bleak if the poorly regulated derivatives underpinning their investment plans implode, according to "How Safe Are Your Savings? How Complex Derivative Products Imperil Seniors' Retirement Security."
Demos Applauds Chairman Tom Harkin For Raising Alarm On "Disappearing Middle Class"
Washington DC – In an important hearing today on the future of America's middle class, Democrats on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee made the case for greater public investment, fairer tax policy, and better job creation to stimulate economic growth and support working Americans. Demos, a national public policy research and advocacy center, supports the effort, as families continue to reel from the recession and high unemployment.
On Eve of Earth Day New Report Spotlights Explosion of High Tech Trash and its Toxic Byproducts
New York, NY – On the eve of Earth Day, a new report by the policy center Demos spotlights the dangerous effects of the millions of tons of electronics that are thrown away each year by American households.
STATEMENT: President's Plan Recaptures the Fiscal High Road
Washington, DC – In response to the President's address on the federal budget, Demos' Heather McGhee calls for a bolder commitment to recovery: "Today, the President of the United States laid out his vision for restoring fiscal responsibility in a way that does not impede our fledgling recovery or violate the core intergenerational promises made during the American Century. Demos applauds the President's leadership.
Affordable Public Jobs Program Could Provide Work For Millions Of Americans, According To New Report
NEW YORK – As budget debates continue to play out at the state level, it is apparent that Americans everywhere are still suffering from the long-tail of the recession and need jobs, not austerity measures that will likely reverse emergent economic gains. A new report by the policy center Demos addresses this need head-on, calling for an affordable and efficient federal jobs program that could meet critical community and national needs while providing meaningful employment for millions of people who lost their jobs in the Great Recession.

Seventy-eight percent of all senior households are financially vulnerable when it comes to their ability to meet essential expenses and cover projected costs over their lifetimes.
Post Austerity Debt Deal: Demos Partners with Rebuild the Dream for Launch of New "Contract For American Dream"
WASHINGTON DC-- In the wake of an austerity debt ceiling deal that will cost 1.8 million jobs in 2012 and do nothing to address inequality and the decline of the American middle class, today the Rebuild the Dream Campaign – with the support of partner organization Demos – announced a new Contract for the American Dream.
Budget Stalemate Puts Seniors Futures at Risk
New York, NY-- Recent comments made by President Obama about the threat of budget negotiations stalling crucial social security payments have highlighted the growing pain felt by America's seniors. A new report "From Bad to Worse: Senior Economic Insecurity On the Rise," from the Institute on Assets and Social Policy and national policy center Demos, underscores how seniors have too few resources and too little time to plan for a fulfilling retirement.
Oregon's Middle Class Under Threat
Oregon's middle class is fraying, with well-paying jobs in short supply and the cost of raising a family dramatically increasing. That's the assessment of a major report released today by the Oregon Center for Public Policy and Demos, a New York City-based research and advocacy institute. "The American Dream is vanishing before our eyes," explained Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow and former NY Times columnist Bob Herbert. "Sadly, Oregonians who work hard and play by the rules can no longer expect to provide a decent life for their families."

I heard this song for the first time last weekend as myself and 10 other friends loaded our boats for a 5 day river trip down Desolation Canyon on the Green river in Utah. You can imagine how much I came to love this song as 11 drunk red-necks and tree-huggers sang the chorus together over and over again for four days. There are not too many songs around that could bring totally different types of people together. I love it!

Just thought I'd add... it is a true story but it didn't happen to Glen. It happened to Ben Folds, and on a sad note, the dog did get shot :(
Leave it to Glen to turn the story around though!

This song is so funny. I still get a kick out of it when i listen to it. This song is also strong and honest as what writer produces work with the phrase "jack off". I think that statement shows how Glen puts his most personal experiences out for his fans to listen, think about, and of course have fun listening to.
This song is one you listen to over and over again. The vocals are great and the words written for this song are really funny and humble.
Any song that is about a drive by shooting of a dog has got to be a great song, and to this most popular rule we have to conclude that the people's favorite two songs on the album will be this one and Fred Meyers.
This song shows us a comical view of Glen and his father, however after the laughter stos you are gonna think that is fucked up.
This song is fun, has catchy music, and shows us the humorous side of Glenn, which didn't seem to shine through during his toad days. turn it on, and hit repeat

Preference Mapping ist ein statistisches Verfahren aus dem Bereich der Sensometrie, d. h. der Anwendung und Weiterentwicklung statistischer Verfahren zum Messen von Sinneseindrücken.

Experten beschreiben Produkte objektiv anhand einer Vielzahl an sensorischen Variablen. Diese Variablen werden mit Hilfe von dimensionsreduzierenden statistischen Verfahren auf zwei wesentliche Variablen reduziert, welche als Basis für die Erstellung der Preference Map dienen. Im Anschluss werden die Produkte von ungeschulten Probanden subjektiv bewertet. Für die Probanden werden lineare Modelle erstellt, welche ihre jeweiligen Präferenzen modellieren. Als lineare Modelle kommen das Vektormodell, zirkuläre, elliptische und rotierte Modell in Frage:

 (Vektormodell)

 (Zirkuläres Modell)

 (Elliptisches Modell)

 (Rotiertes Modell)

Hierbei ist die Zielvariable  ein Maß für die Beliebtheit des Produkts,  und  die beiden dimensionsreduzierten neuen Variablen und , , , ,  und  die Regressionskoeffizienten. Die aufgelisteten linearen Modelle stellen von oben nach unten jeweils eine Verallgemeinerung dar. In der Preference Map wird das Vektormodell durch einen Präferenzenpfeil dargestellt und die drei anderen Modelle durch einen Idealpunkt beziehungsweise Anti-Idealpunkt, falls ein solcher existiert. Neben den (Anti)Idealpunkten beziehungsweise Präferenzenpfeilen der Konsumenten werden auf der Preference Map ebenfalls die Produkte eingezeichnet. Durch die Kombination dieser Informationen kann man erkennen, welche Produkteigenschaften von einem Großteil der Verbraucher bevorzugt werden, wodurch sich im Idealfall für die Zielgruppe beliebte Produkte konstruieren lassen.

Wahl der linearen Modelle

Im Anschluss an die Dimensionsreduktion wird für jeden Probanden eines der oben erwähnten linearen Modelle angepasst. Für die Wahl der linearen Modelle gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten.

Eine einfache Variante besteht darin, für alle Probanden den gleichen Modelltyp auszuwählen. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die Präferenzen aller Probanden auf der gleichen Preference Map darstellen und vergleichen. Entscheidet man sich beispielsweise für das zirkuläre Modell, erhält man die Preference Map mit den Ideal- und Anti-Idealpunkten. Wählt man das Vektormodell, lassen sich die Präferenzen durch Pfeile angeben. In diesem Fall besteht die Möglichkeit, die Länge der Pfeile proportional zum korrigierten Bestimmtheitsmaß einzuzeichnen, um somit gleichzeitig das Gütemaß zu visualisieren.

Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Wahl des Modelltyps in Abhängigkeit von statistischen Tests zu treffen. Beispielsweise könnte man sich für das zirkuläre Modell entscheiden, falls der Wald-Test die Nullhypothese  verwirft und ansonsten für das Vektormodell. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist die Entscheidung für das Modell mit dem größeren korrigierten Bestimmtheitsmaß.

Es ist nicht immer sinnvoll, die Präferenzen jedes Probanden in der Preference Map darzustellen. Fällt das korrigierte Bestimmtheitsmaß des Modells eines Teilnehmers unter eine vorher festgelegte Grenze, entfernt man dessen Idealpunkt beziehungsweise Präferenzenpfeil von der Preference Map. Ebenso werden Idealpunkte, welche weit außerhalb des Stichprobenraums liegen, entfernt.

Beispiel

Im R-Paket SensoMineR wurden 16 Cocktails mit unterschiedlichen Anteilen an den Früchten Orange, Banane, Mango und Zitrone untersucht. Diese wurden von 12 Experten anhand von 13 Merkmalen beschrieben. Bei diesen Variablen
handelt es sich um Farbintensität, Geruchsintensität, Orangengeruch, Bananengeruch, Mangogeruch, Zitronengeruch, Geschmacksintensität, Süße, Säure, Bitterkeit, Nachgeschmack, Fruchtfleischgehalt und Dickflüssigkeit. Diese wurden anschließend mit Hilfe der Hauptkomponentenanalyse auf zwei Variablen reduziert, welche insgesamt über 80 % der Varianz erklären. Die erste Hauptkomponente unterscheidet dickflüssige, süße Cocktails mit deutlichem Bananenaroma auf der linken Seite von sauren und bitteren Cocktails auf der rechten Seite (siehe Korrelationskreis). Im zirkulären Modell befinden sich die meisten Idealpunkte im linken Bereich, demnach werden süße Cocktails mit hohem Bananenanteil bevorzugt. Dagegen befinden sich die meisten Anti-Idealpunkte im rechten Bereich, da saure und bittere Cocktails den meisten Probanden nicht schmeckten.

Home Press Releases PRESS RELEASE: EPA Seeks to Approve Pollution-Causing Regional Haze Plan
PRESS RELEASE: EPA Seeks to Approve Pollution-Causing Regional Haze Plan
EPA Seeks to Approve Pollution-Causing Regional Haze Plan
Utahns Call on EPA to Ensure State Coal Plants Have Appropriate Pollution Controls
Price, UT — Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hosted a public comment session on the state of Utah's do-nothing regional haze plan. In April 2019, Utah submitted a regional haze proposal to the EPA for the third time in eight years to continue operation of the Hunter and Huntington coal plants without pollution controls.
While the EPA rejected the last two plans submitted by Utah, the agency is now seeking to approve the third, repurposed regional haze plan that would allow the coal-plants to operate without Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) retrofits. The state plan would replace a federal plan approved by EPA in 2016 that required installation of SCRs that would have reduced pollution from the state's oldest and dirtiest coal-fired power plants, which degrades visibility across Utah and in the state's national parks.
"The reality is that more and more people are recognizing how harmful coal plants are to our environment and health," said Lindsay Beebe, Senior Organizing Representative at the Sierra Club. "By approving the operation of Hunter and Huntington coal plants without pollution controls, the EPA and the state of Utah will be pandering to corporate polluters who are trying to save money by violating federal protections instead of retiring the coal plants and tapping into affordable and clean renewable energy sources."
"This plan, that the EPA is likely to approve, despite public comment, turns a blind eye to the negative health and tourism effects of air pollution in Utah's rural areas and national parks," said Dr. Scott Williams, Executive Director for the Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah. "Rather than using this regulatory loophole to continue polluting these communities with their outdated smokestacks, industry needs to adopt proven, 21st century technologies, like selective catalytic retrofits, and start protecting the public's health today."
"It's unconscionable that the EPA and the state of Utah continue to put the health of our people and national parks at risk," said Cory MacNulty, Southwest Associate Director for the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). "Utah had a win-win plan that would have benefited our outdoor recreation economy, human health and the environment, but the Trump administration's EPA is rolling back these protections, allowing two of our biggest polluters to continue to obscure our tremendous park landscapes with haze and taint the air we breathe with preventable pollution. Utahans, our parks and all who visit them deserve better."

Emerald ash borer discovered in Lincoln, Neb.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Emerald ash borer (EAB) was first found in Nebraska in June 2016, but it has now been discovered in Lincoln, the state's second largest city. The news was confirmed by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Aug. 22.
Previously, the NDA had confirmed infestations in Cass and Douglas counties. Douglas County is where Omaha, Nebraska's largest city, is located. In addition to the discovery in Lincoln, the NDA also reported signs of an infested tree in the smaller town of Fremont, which is approximately 50 miles north of Lincoln.
"While it's unfortunate we found EAB in Lincoln and signs of an infested tree in Fremont, it is not unexpected considering we have confirmed EAB infestations in Douglas and Cass counties," NDA Director Steve Wellman said.
Traps set to determine if & when emerald ash borer reaches Denver
DENVER — If you're wandering through one of Denver's public parks this summer and find yourself looking up to admire one of the city's historic ash trees, you might notice a green or purple object hanging from it.
So what the heck are these things?
They're known as sticky traps, and the Denver Parks and Recreation's Office of the City Forester has deployed them in strategic parts of the city in an effort to determine whether the emerald ash borer (EAB) has arrived in the Metro area.

Stable isotope analyses have revolutionized the study of migratory connectivity. However, as with all tools, their limitations must be understood in order to derive the maximum benefit of a particular application. The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of stable isotopes of C, N, H, O and S for assigning known-origin feathers to the molting sites of migrant shorebird species wintering and breeding in Argentina. Specific objectives were to: 1) compare the efficacy of the technique for studying shorebird species with different migration patterns, life histories and habitat-use patterns; 2) evaluate the grouping of species with similar migration and habitat use patterns in a single analysis to potentially improve prediction accuracy; and 3) evaluate the potential gains in prediction accuracy that might be achieved from using multiple stable isotopes. The efficacy of stable isotope ratios to determine origin was found to vary with species. While one species (White-rumped Sandpiper, Calidris fuscicollis) had high levels of accuracy assigning samples to known origin (91% of samples correctly assigned), another (Collared Plover, Charadrius collaris) showed low levels of accuracy (52% of samples correctly assigned). Intra-individual variability may account for this difference in efficacy. The prediction model for three species with similar migration and habitat-use patterns performed poorly compared with the model for just one of the species (71% versus 91% of samples correctly assigned). Thus, combining multiple sympatric species may not improve model prediction accuracy. Increasing the number of stable isotopes in the analyses increased the accuracy of assigning shorebirds to their molting origin, but the best combination - involving a subset of all the isotopes analyzed - varied among species.

Energy policy in the United Kingdom is a constant battle. A number of environmental commentators and campaign groups are up in arms about the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Again.
Somebody with influence should have a quiet word with DECC about their public relations – they seem intent on leading people a merry dance about their true policy intentions – and then blasting everybody with piecemeal pronouncements, without giving the concerned public the full picture.
Personally, I think the strategy of building new Natural Gas-fired power plants is rather good. Yes, I will explain why. But first I will cover some of the complaints.
To what is he referring ?
There are commentators, basing their warnings on significant pieces of evidence, that Natural Gas will start to be affected by the depletion issues faced by crude petroleum – a peak in Natural Gas to follow Peak Oil. It would therefore seem a rather risky strategy to sign off large investment in new Natural Gas energy production facilities – costly infrastructure that cannot be replaced for decades.
In addition, the North Sea oil and gas bonanza is rapidly running down – the United Kingdom has become a net importer of Natural Gas, and we run the risk of becoming politically dependent on Russian energy policy for Siberia, Norway's demands for European regulatory control and BP and Shell's plans for the Arctic.
What folly is this, to permit a fleet of new Natural Gas plants with no carbon dioxide emissions control ?
Actually, what DECC are not telling you, yet, because it's a bit under wraps at present, is that Natural Gas will eventually be phased out in favour of Renewable Gas.
And then new gas power stations will look like the ultimately green decision.
Do look out for the term "biosyngas", won't you ?
Fine if it's biosyngas, and as a transition to/backup for growth in wind/solar/tidal. But, given the Coalition's priorities, I fear it will be fracking/shale gas, as a permanent 'solution'. I hope I'm wrong.
