Why do people get in trouble for feeding the homeless?
One of the ways that the legal system protects homeless people is to keep them from being victimized, in various ways, by dangerous handouts. Food handouts, for example, when they are not cooked or stored properly, can make recipients very sick. So there are laws about food preparation and management. Restaurants, organizations, and food trucks all have to follow these laws. Typically, these are health department regulations. But there can also be criminal laws that apply–such as homicide and battery laws that would punish one person for poisoning another.
Some people think that they are being helpful by collecting and handing out unused prescription medicines to people on the street. That is illegal drug distribution in every jurisdiction. Only licensed medical doctors can legally decide which kinds of medicine a patient needs. Most of the donation punishment stories that upset the public are about food donations.
When companies or nonprofit groups operate a system for distributing food to the homeless, they have a limited degree of protection from the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. This is a federal law that protects food donors (whether they donate groceries or cooked meals) from various kinds of liability unless the food that they donate either makes a homeless person sick or kills a homeless person. Most of the time, these donors are not supposed to be charged with violating the federal laws about food packaging and food handling unless they are grossly negligent or intentionally commit misconduct with the food. If they know that something has gone wrong with the food and they are donating it to an organization that will then distribute it to the homeless, they have to tell the organization what went wrong.
Here is an example: Suppose a canned food company has a mix-up at its factory and a hundred cases of canned black beans are mistakenly labeled as canned tomatoes. The company cannot sell those, so they decide to donate them to the poor. This Food Donation Act requires that the canned food company explain the problem to the organization that they donate the cans to. The organization receiving those cans of beans has to (1) be able to fix those labels and then it has to (2) actually fix them. This is not a hard task: They can just print any normal white labels in their usual printer and write on those labels that a mistake was made in the factory packaging and these cans actually hold black beans, not tomatoes.
There is nothing in this federal law that treats major corporations differently than small local food donation services. However, the law specifically says that nothing in it "shall be construed to supercede State or local health regulations." This is why food donors can still get in trouble for not having the right kind of dish washing facilities or not keeping food at the right temperature.
A chef in San Antonio, Texas who was serving gourmet meals to homeless people got all kinds of media attention when the police cited her for not operating out of a food truck. This chef had a permit for a food truck, but on the night that the police ticketed her, she was distributing food out of a different vehicle. The reasons for the food truck permit laws are all about food safety. Those trucks have to have a certain level of cleanliness and they need refrigeration and adequately warm operating areas for keeping hot food at a safe temperature, plus other features. This chef obviously knew about these rules since she had satisfied the requirements to get the permit, but on that night she brought out food that was not properly stored because it was not in a registered food truck. She truly did break the law and put people at risk.
Her response to the ticket, at least in the media, (she has not gone to court as of this writing) is that she has a First Amendment freedom of religion right to give food to poor people. That is a nice position to take, but it is not relevant to the law she broke. No matter what motivated her, she was only allowed to distribute food from the safe food truck for which she had a permit.
The federal Good Samaritan Food Donation Act only deals with punishment after food recipients have gotten sick. Local, county, and state laws aim to prevent anyone from getting sick by regulating what happens to the food before it gets served. Anybody hoping to offer food donations to the homeless should contact the county health department and the local police to find out in advance how they can be sure that their donations will be safe and legal. And anyone who does get in trouble for violating a food or medicine donation law should appreciate that the authorities are trying to keep the recipients safe.

Vegas – Bright Lights, Big Elvis
For many of us, if over a certain age, Las Vegas conjures up images of The Rat Pack tuxedoed up at The Sands, others immediately see Elvis straining the seams of a rhinestone studded jumpsuit.
Personally, we can't help but love them both. However Las Vegas today bears little resemblance to either of those eras.
Other than a few impersonators there is not much left that The King or The Chairman of the Board would recognize. Is it better? We're here to find out.
Since our first foray into Sin City, back in the late seventies, most all of the famous names of The Strip have been demolished.
The Sands, The Desert Inn, The Dunes, The Stardust and The Silver Slipper have all given way to way-high-rises and parking lots. The Landmark was demolished in a blaze of glory and all the drama was captured in the movie "Mars Attacks" — now there's something for
posterity!
The new Strip goes for flashy/classy over the old splashy/trashy, but like most everything here, it is all an illusion.
Gone are the innumerable flashing neon signs, replaced instead by false skylines and Eiffel Towers. No more $2.99 buffets and cheap rooms to lure in the gamblers, now it's fine dining and five star hotels.
Not quite sure what to make of all the changes, we decided embrace the new Vegas with gusto. Why not go out for a fine french dinner our first night out?
After all, Paris is right down the street.
Mon Ami Gabi offers al fresco dining under The Eiffel Tower and right across Las Vegas Boulevard from the famous fountains at The Bellagio. Gallic cuisine and top-notch people watching…dinner and a show.
Mon Ami Gabi prides itself on its wines and with a fanciful twist the by-the-glass selections are served from a rolling cart that circulates the restaurant.
The food was French, Vegas French. Pâté, escargots, beef Bourguignon, crêpes and quiche share the menu with an All-American cheeseburger.
Even offering a choice of brie, blue or gruyere on the burger didn't help to convince us we were on the left bank of the Seine, still, the food was très bon and the service fantastique.
Veronica's soup du jour, chestnut bisque, was deemed fabulous, the bread was surprisingly authentic and David's pork tenderloin in port-wine cherry sauce with pommes puree certainly met or exceeded our expectations.
One of the evening's highlights was a discovery made in the bathrooms. Piped in over speakers were the most useful French lessons we've ever come across.Won't it be helpful to know how to parlez-vous:
"Is that an eclair in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
"Oooh La La, Are those real?"
"Can I buy you a drink or should I just give you the
or the pee-in-our-pants funny:
"If you were a McDonald's hamburger you'd be McSexy with Cheese."
These lessons prove indubitably that everything sounds better in French. Next time we really are on the Champs-Élysées, we're bringing some of these gems out. Sure hope we can remember them all.
After dinner we went for a real show… wait, The Strip IS the real show, what with any number of feeble Elvis wannabes sharing the road with an array of freaks, drunks, fish-out-of-water tourists and a never-ending supply of lowlifes snapping hooker's calling cards (complete with full-color naked photos of the entrepreneurs) at the unsuspecting fanny-packers who pass by.
Enough of the street theater — Penn & Teller were at The Rio so we made the short trip over from central Europe to South America. Only in Vegas, baby!
Amusing AND amazing properly describes these guys. It's not the typical Vegas show. Very little glitz, no T & A, but a whole lot of laughs and some very interesting insights into how many magic tricks are accomplished.
Plus a dash of Libertarian politics tossed in for good measure ( a metal credit-card-sized "Bill of Rights" to trigger metal detectors at airport security was available for purchase after the show).
Even when Penn explains a trick (Teller can't, he never speaks) it's still astonishing to watch them pull it off. The boys have style.
The next morning… (Yes, we said morning. The age of staying up all night at the craps tables and counting the olives in the bottom of dirty martini glasses is sadly behind us.) …we checked out the monorail that runs behind the hotels along The Strip. Très modern, almost like Disneyland.
Seriously, it's quite convenient and saves wear and tear on the old dogs, since the new casinos are HUGE and spaced pretty far apart.
Getting off from time to time to stroll through several of the swanky spots, we noticed another change.
Back in the day, the only way to get to from Point A to Point B in Vegas was through a casino. The powers-that-be fiqured your money would leap out of your pockets and land in a machine or on a table.
Not anymore. These days we were instead forced to walk through never ending mazes of cleverly disguised stores filled with every sort of over-priced product known to man.
Under fake indoor skies that maintain a permanent dusk, we strolled the streets of Venice, ancient Rome, Rio, Paris and New York… anywhere BUT Las Vegas.
To some degree, we found it working on us. Not the marketing of costly crap but the disconnect from reality. We really HAD forgotten the outside world and embraced the fantasy.
That happens here. Once the brain accepts things like Marilyn Monroe and Alice Cooper dealing blackjack as reasonable, anything seems normal.
Constant noise, flashing lights, free drinks, never ending sunsets, no clocks, dead celebrities everywhere, continuous sex on display… it's all part of the plan.
Surreal replacing real — until money becomes nothing but a colorful cache of chips — who really cares if those get taken away by the nice dealer?
We needed a big dose of realism and nothing says real in Vegas like Elvis.
We needed a good Elvis, the best Elvis, the biggest Elvis… that could only be Pete "Big Elvis" Vallee at Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon. Four hundred pounds of Elvis, three shows a day… now THAT'S real.
The scuttlebutt around Bill's was that Pete used to be an even bigger Elvis, twice as big they say. Girth aside, the boy could whomp down a pretty mean My Way.
Properly Hound-Dogged-up and with our feet back on the ground, we were ready for an immersion into the old school Las Vegas. The one that harkens back to the days when Bugsy Siegel and his merry mob of mobsters still ran the joints.
Back to the time and place that earned this place the name Sin City. It was time for a trip downtown to Fremont Street.The old Vegas is alive and well down here, neon rules the night.
The classic cowboy "Vegas Vic" lives on among the bright lights of The Fitz, The Fremont, The Four Queens and The Golden Nugget.
The Neon Museum Las Vegas restored many of the classic bygone signs from The Strip and showcases them in an outdoor "gallery" along Fremont Street. Many others are stored for posterity in The Neon "Boneyard."
No trip to Glitter Gulch is complete without an evening under these lights.
Revisiting our own good old days, we allowed The Fitz to buy us drinks while we studied the intricacies of Switch, a two handed version of blackjack that we'd never seen before.
We didn't quite greet the sunrise like the old days but it's a good thing The Deuce double-decker shuttle buses run all night.As for those colorful little chips — by the time we turned them all back into legal tender, we found that we had almost as much as we started with.
Not bad, but we weren't out of the woods just yet.The airport is also a casino.
Ah, Lost Wages, Nevada.

Good points all around. Truly aprecpiated.

>were you guys just here and didn't call!!! We haven't been to the strip yet. Have found places near home like P.T's, Village Pub, Wildfire and an array of wondeful little places with gambeling and cheap food that is great. Music that no one has heard of with no cover and cheap drinks. It really is here, just have to look a little.
>Did we just miss each other by days in Vegas? I was there just a week ago, and like yourselves, it was my first time there since the late '70s. I am LMAO–you described it perfectly, especially the French lessons in the Paris toilettes! And with the preponderance of Italian-themed hotels, I forgot I wasn't back in Italia for the moment.

Ed. Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, foreword by Gijs van Tuyl, text(s) by Andrea Brodbeck, Anneke van der Elsken/Annelie Lütgens, Nan Goldin, Enno Kaufhold, Michael Naura, Hans Schoots, Hripsimé Visser, Fuminori Yokoe
2000. 192 pp., 149 ills.
For forty years, the Dutchman Ed van der Elsken travelled the world, creating his artistic life´s work: photographs and documentary films as an authentic and yet highly personal testimony of the sixties, seventies and eighties. A pioneer of a kind of photography that takes a radically subjective stand, an approach which since the eighties has become known to a broader public through such artists as Wolfgang Tillmans, van der Elsken from the very beginning embraced an unrelenting openness and directness that did not exclude his own private sphere. From the classic A Love Story in Saint Germain des Prés in the form of a photographic novel to the series Jazz and the video show Tokyo Symphony or the last documentary self-portrait of the severely cancer-stricken Ed van der Elsken - the artist´s pictorial worlds are always of a haunting immediacy and authenticity. More than 140 illustrations in duotone and color and numerous essays by renowned international authors present an elaborate and equally personal portrait of the "filming photographer" and his oeuvre. The artist: Ed van der Elsken (Amsterdam 1925-1990 Edam). After studies in sculpture, Ed van der Elsken decided to become a photographer in 1947. His international breakthrough came in 1956 with his book "A Love Story in Saint-Germain-des-Prés". He received numerous awards, among them the Dutch national award for film in 1971 and the David Roell Award for his complete oeuvre in 1988. In 1997, Ed van der Elsken was represented at documenta X at Kassel.

Is the forest burning down?
Why let a wildfire burn instead of putting it out?
How are natural fires suppressed?
What is the difference between a wildfire and a prescribed burn?
How long do wildfires burn?
A wildfire allowed to burn starts as a naturally-caused, low intensity wildland fire. In northern Arizona, lightning strikes are typically the natural cause for these types of fires. Such wildfires may be allowed to burn to put fire back into the ecosystem to reduce fire danger and restore forest health. Fire managers allow the managed fire to run its natural course within well defined and maintained perimeters.
Wildfire?! Is the forest burning down?
When the humidity, moisture, and weather conditions are favorable, a managed wildland fire is a slow-burning surface fire. The flames are low to the ground and the fire spreads slowly across the forest floor. This type of fire safely consumes dead and down logs, fallen leaves and pine needles, low hanging branches, dried grasses, and small trees. Larger trees are generally unharmed, and vegetation will soon return to the area.
As a low-intensity managed wildfire crawls along, it follows its own natural paths. As a result, some areas may be untouched while others burn, creating a mosaic pattern across the forest floor. As a result, some vegetation is burned off while other vegetation remains to continue growing and reseeding. This mosaic burn pattern is beneficial to the forest health by encouraging ecological diversity.
Why let a fire burn instead of putting it out?
Fire is an intrinsic part of the landscape of the Southwest. Historically, fire would return to an area every two to ten years. Unlike wetter climates, dead wood and vegetation do not decompose well in northern Arizona's dry climate. Vital nutrients, such as nitrogen, remain locked up in dead wood and vegetation until decomposition returns these nutrients to the soil. In this region, it is fire that serves to break down dead wood and vegetation, releasing the vital nutrients new grasses, flowers, and other vegetation need to thrive.
In addition to the ecological benefits, allowing low intensity wildfires to burn reduces the risk of severe wildfires in the future. In the right conditions pine needles, dead logs, and other forest litter burn slowly. However, in the wrong conditions, these materials serve as fuels to make a severe wildfire burn hotter, faster, and with greater intensity, making such fires even more difficult to contain. Reducing potential fuels helps reduce severe wildfires that endanger the forest, property, and lives.
When a naturally-caused wildland fire starts, fire managers make an assessment to determine if conditions are favorable for full suppression of the wildfire or allowing it to burn. Weather forecasts, soil and vegetation moisture, the landscape surrounding the wildfire, and potential risks are all considered in this assessment. If conditions are good for the wildfire, fire managers determine a perimeter for the fire, and identify areas that must be protected. Crew perform burnout operations in strategic areas to manage how and where the fire moves through the forest, allowing the fire to take its course while protecting property and wildlife.
Crews apply fire along the forest floor to burn off fuels. This is often done in advance of the wildfire to enforce a boundary for the fire, keeping it within the perimeter or guiding it around a sensitive area. Burnout operations may also be performed in areas where limiting the fire severity or smoke is critical, such as along hillsides or near powerlines that are sensitive to heavy smoke.
Backburning is a technique for burning an area in the opposite direction the flames want to go, such a on hills. Hills have an inherit risk of increased fire severity if the fire is allowed to move up the hillside. By igniting a fire at the top of the hill, the fire can only move downhill, keeping the fire's spread slow and low intensity. With fuels burned off the hillside, when the wildfire reaches the hill, it will move around the hill instead of up the hill.
A prescribed burn is planned in advance, with specific conditions set appropriate to the project. Crews ignite and manage the burn, and planned burn activity may be cancelled if the wind, moisture, temperature, and other required conditions are not met. Prescribed burn operations have a planned start and completion date. Learn more about prescribed burns.
A wildfire is an unplanned, naturally occurring wildland fire. If conditions are favorable, the wildfire is allowed to continue naturally, burning instead of being supressed. While burn operations may be used to keep the fire in the planned perimeter and away from sensitive areas, the fire itself is allowed to progress naturally through the management area. Wildfires do not have a planned end date.
It is important to recognize that human-caused wildfires are in the minority when it comes to sources of ignition. As you can see from the 40-Year Fire Timeline below, lightning has been the major source of wildfires on the Coconino National Forest, so wildfires are simply a part of the ponderosa pine ecosystem that we live in. Click on the image below to see a larger version.
Wildfires grow, increasing in size but not severity. Smoke will be noticeable, especially during burn operations. However, smoke from wildfire is much lighter than from a severe wildfire. Motorists should drive with care in the area near a fire. Smoke may reduce visibility and fire personnel may be working on or near the road. Wildfires move and burn slowly, and efforts are made to protect buildings, property, sensitive wildlife habitats, and people.
Because these types of fires are allowed to burn naturally, they do not have planned end dates. As long as conditions permit and objectives are being met, crews will continue to actively manage the fire.
Depending on the extent, longevity, and other factors, there may be road or lands closures. During a fire, closures will be posted on the InciWeb incident information page, and under Alerts & Notices on Coconino National Forest site. Major closures of lands will posted on Forest Orders.
Wildfires burn continuously for at least several days, and smoke may impact communities, sometimes unexpectedly, while the fire continues to burn. If you are affected by smoke from a fire on the Coconino National Forest, submit Smoke Report to share your observation, experience, or complaint, and help us get this information to Fire Management Officers and the Leadership Team.

One week later, when Song Menghwa was about to enter the surgery room for the second time that month, Song Qingchun revealed the news about her upcoming nuptials with Qin Yinan. As she expected, Song Menghwa could not hide the grin on his face.
Even though Song Qingchun told Song Menghwa it was merely an engagement, her father treated it as their marriage and started discussing the details of the wedding with her. When Fang Rou arrived at the hospital, he even had her start to prepare for the wedding.
Fang Rou was equally happy when she heard the news, and she even joined Song Menghwa in discussing the wedding details. Song Qingchun did not have the heart to rain on his parade.
Looking at the smile on her father's face when she told him she was getting married, Song Qingchun felt like the sun had returned to her world, and everything was going to be okay. Actually, this isn't so bad, is it? At least, in exchange for this hurtful decision, I'll be able to make the person who cares about me the most in this world the happiest he has ever been; it's really worth it, is it not?
Song Menghwa's surgery was a complete success. After he woke up from the anesthesia, the first thing he did was call Qin Yinan's parents.
At 9 pm that night, Qin Yinan and his parents arrived at the hospital. Qin Yinan's parents had watched Song Qingchun grow up and loved her like she was their own daughter. When they heard about the news, they were also beyond happy, not unlike Song Menghwa. The young couple was shoved to the side, and the parents started happily discussing the details of the wedding.
The three elders even brought out a calendar to look for a date with good Feng Shui. That date was December 12th. After deciding the date, the three elders started discussing the wedding venue and the like.
After they had decided practically everything, Song Menghwa finally turned to Song Qingchun and Qin Yinan, who had been ignored the whole night, and asked with a giant smile on his face, "Yinan, Qingchun, what do you think about having the wedding on the twelfth of December? It's still two months away, so there is enough time to prepare"
Qin Yinan's first reaction was to turn to look at Song Qingchun. After sensing his gaze on her, Song Qingchun smiled lightly and answered, "As long as Brother Yinan is fine with it, I'm fine with it."
Auntie Qin immediately swooped in on her son's behalf. "Of course, Yinan is fine with it. It's decided then, the wedding is on the twelfth of December!"
Uncle Qin, who had always been subservient to his wife, concurred, "Yes, the twelfth of December it is."
"Now that the date has been decided, what about the venue?" Song Menghwa asked. "We're considering Beijing Hotel, what do you two think of that?"
"As long as Song Song is okay with it," Qin Yinan replied.
"We'll leave it to you," Song Qingchun said. "We'll just follow what the parents decide."
Song Qingchun's last sentence was like a pill of assurance for the three elders. They took out pen and paper and started designing the wedding schedule without even asking the young couple for their opinions.
Song Qingchun sat to the side with a gentle smile on her face and listened to them quietly. Qin Yinan would occasionally chime in, but she remained completely silent throughout.
In fact, when their discussion reached its climax, she even turned her head to look out at the darkened sky, and her mind started to wander.

Q: Click on image to change chosen plugin item I'm working on a layout for a product using hikashop in joomla. example page can be seen here: product page. The characteristics select box is using the Chosen plugin. What I am trying to accomplish is to have the thumbnail images below change the selected item in the select box like this:

Well if this was working, clearly I wouldn't be posing here. I think the chosen plugin overrides the select box, and i dont know enough about this to work around, so any help would be appreciated.
@isherwood - I tried your example and am getting UncaughtSyntaxError: Unexpected Token ;
Not too sure where my error is, here is my entire code block:
foreach($this->element->variants as $variant){
                foreach($variant->characteristics as $k => $characteristic){
                    $char_id = $characteristic->variant_characteristic_id;
                    $cat_id = $k;
                }
                foreach($variant->images as $image){
                    echo '
                        image->uploadFolder_url . $image->file_path . '" alt="hikashop_child_image_' . $char_id . '"  />'; ?>

            <?php
                }
            } ?>

A: After you set your select value, you need to update Chosen:
$("#hikashop_product_characteristic_14_chzn").trigger("chosen:updated");

http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/#change-update-events
Indicentally, you're using jQuery, so
document.getElementById('hikashop_product_characteristic_19').value='35'

can simply be
$('#hikashop_product_characteristic_19').val('35');

This would all be better done with a single click event listener rather than inline onclick handlers.
$('img.hikashop_child_image').click(function() {
    ...
}

Woodin wins 300th game Thursday as 'Jackets blast Bears
ABC FOX Montana
BILLINGS, Mont. – The winningest coach in Montana State University Billings history achieved another milestone on Thursday night, as Kevin Woodin led the Yellowjacket women to a 77-48 blowout of Rocky Mountain College at Alterowitz Gym.
The Yellowjackets (9-1) held a slight margin over the visiting Bears (6-4) after the first half of play, but outscored their opponents 45-21 in the final two quarters of play to win comfortably in front of a large contingent of home fans present. "This was a nice win for us today," said Woodin. "Anytime you play Rock you know you're going to get their best effort, and those intra-city rival games are always tough to play. We got off to a great start, but they battled back and we had a hard time scoring in the second quarter. We went cold for most of it, but we finished the half on a good note to lead by four. In the second half our defense was outstanding, and we guarded really well especially on their ball screen offensive sets."
Natalie Andreas scored 17 points, and Aspen Giese scored 15 in the game, each setting new career bests as members of the Yellowjackets. Andreas also collected five rebounds while Giese was all over the box score with six rebounds, a pair of blocks and steals, and an assist. Dyauni Boyce scored 16 points, and her seven rebounds tied for most on the 'Jackets with Kortney Nelson. Nelson likewise led the team in assist with four. "Individually we had good, balanced scoring, and it was nice to see Aspen and Natalie shoo

How different could the iPhone 8 be?
The Galaxy S phones has always had a camera on par with the iPhone, so it was a little surprising that Samsung didn't upgrade the S8's all that much. The iPhone 7 Plus is already a step ahead here, with 2X optical zoom and the sublime Portrait Mode, but the iPhone 8 could really separate itself from the S8 by taking it even further. Along with a megapixel bump, Apple could add optical image stabilization to the second lens, which will go a long way toward increasing photo and zoom quality. But what would really set it apart would be a larger sensor and greater ISO range to make it a low-light leader.


When working with couples, I form a deep connection with the relationship. I listen closely to, and validate, each partner's truth, using Non Violent Communication, and invite the other partner to join me in this experience. Together we put on our Sherlock Holmes hats and begin to track down where the misunderstandings have taken place, where shared meaning and connection have broken down and resentment has festered. We focus on what is working and shift the balance back towards prioritizing fun/intimate/romantic time like you did when you first got together. I use the Gottman Method for more structured couples' work and am a trained Gottman Therapist.


Winter is here and, baby, it's cold outside. Unfortunately that means sometimes colds make their way inside, too. There are lots of things you can do to keep yourself healthy during cold + flu season, but since your little one's immune system is still a work in progress, a cold or two is probably in your baby's future.
Baby's first cold can be rough—both on baby and on you! It's less than fun to see your little one in distress, even when it's simply from the common cold. But not to worry, mama: We're here to help you soothe those sniffles and bust that fuss with our favorite products to help ease baby's first cold. Though we can't promise a magical fix, we can promise that these items will help soothe + comfort your babe when she's not feeling her best.
Here are the eight cold-busters we absolutely cannot live without. We've tried them all.
File this one under, "things I never dreamed I'd get excited about before I became a mom." Call us weird, but there are few things in life we find more satisfying than clearing out those teeny, tiny nostrils when they're all stuffed up.
There are lots of snot suckers on the market, but this one is far and away our favorite and is an absolute must-have in every parent's cold-fighting arsenal. Does it sound gross? Yup. But does it work? You bet. SOLD.
Saline is great for loosening mucus and moisturizing nasal passages during cold, dry months, and it's completely safe, even for newborns. We keep ours on the changing table at all times.
Let's round out the boogie-busting trifecta with our third and final snot-busting item—soothing wipes. You're going to be wiping a lot of runny noses over the coming years, mama. I know what you're thinking... "Can't I just use regular baby wipes for this?" And, yes, sure, you can. But these wipes are just better for runny noses.
We're obsessed with this digital, smartphone-compatible option—it's accurate + easy to use, doesn't require any batteries, affordable, and best of all keeps a record of its readouts and offers guidance on what to do next.
When your little one is sick—or even when she isn't, but it's cold outside and there's lots of dry air trapped inside your house—humidifiers can be a great solution. A cool mist humidifier adds moisture back into the air without adding heat, and can help with breathing or even to soothe a recurrent cough.
Humidifiers are prone to mold and notoriously tough to keep clean, though, which is why we love this model from Crane. It's small, sleek + quiet, runs for 24 hours, and best of all is filter-free so you won't have to worry about remembering to clean or change out a filter. One less thing to have to think about, mama!
For babies three months and older, an aromatic vapor rub like this one can be a soothing addition to a bedtime routine when your little one is fighting a cold. Made with organic eucalyptus + tea tree oil to help clear breathing and organic lavender and rosemary oils to help soothe + calm, we can't (and won't) claim any real science here, but anecdotally speaking we can say that this is by far our favorite rub for both its great smell and its all-natural ingredients.
We recommend rubbing a bit on your little one's chest and on the bottoms of her feet right before bed. You may even want to steal some for yourself the next time you're sick—it truly smells divine!
Although it's not always necessary to treat a fever—we recommend you call your pediatrician with any and all things medical, of course—they often make babies super fussy and an over-the-counter remedy can be helpful in making them more comfortable.
For babies three months and older, we've loved Infants' Tylenol over the years for the temporary relief of fevers, aches and pains, and any other yucky side effects of a cold. As is the case with any medication, please talk to your pediatrician before administering, and be sure to ask about accurate dosing.
These freezer pops are formulated with the optimal balance of sugar and electrolytes needed to help the body replenish fluids and minerals lost through dehydration. They're way better than giving your kiddo juice or sports drinks, which are usually too high in sugar and too low in sodium. And best of all—your toddler will think they're a treat!


I am Te'Lor Allen and I am from a small town called Murphy, North Carolina. I was raised in a family who knew nothing about horses so most of what I've gained has been through advice from peers or Youtube! I am proud to say that I have successfully rescued and rehabilitated 3 horses since I started riding 5 years ago. I've been competing for 2 years now and really look up to Mary Burger and Fallon Taylor because of how hard they work. They're both extraordinary women and I hope to be like them one day.

Stagnant offense gets softball swept
After promising start to Ivy League play, Bruno extends losing streak to 11 against strong opponents

The softball team has outperformed expectations this season and played better than its record indicates, but it seems the team simply cannot catch a break.
After being swept by league-leading Dartmouth last weekend despite putting up a fight, the Bears (16-21, 5-11 Ivy) began their four-game weekend series at Harvard on a seven-game losing streak. Mirroring recent troubles, they fell victim to errors, and even with a late rally to tie the game, could not pull out a win in game one.
The Crimson (25-14, 13-3) scored two unearned runs in the first, added one in the second and three more in the fourth. Meanwhile, Brown recorded only two hits through five scoreless innings.
But this year's Bears have a penchant for the dramatic: Twice, they've staged four-run rallies in their last at-bat. After RBIs in the sixth from Ashli Lotz '19 and Christina Andrews '17, Bruno came to bat in the seventh.
Grayson Metzger '18 has transitioned gracefully into a utility role this season: She's appeared in 20 games but has taken only 23 at-bats. Through her irregular playing time, she's put up an on-base percentage of .357, up from .283 last year. Entering as a pinch-hitter against Harvard, she came through again, driving a double to right and scoring two.
Two batters later, Yeram Park '18 stood at bat with the bases empty, representing the tying run. Against Dartmouth last weekend, Park sent a line drive down the right field line that was ruled foul, despite appearing to glance off the foul pole.
This time, there was no doubt about it. Park homered to left, tying the contest. Three outs from Katie Orona '18 later, the game went to extras.
But again, the Bears' luck turned against them. Bruno loaded the bases in the top of the frame but failed to score. In the bottom of the inning, Harvard took advantage of an Andrews throwing error to load the bases. Catherine Callaway put the ball in play, and Elizabeth Shively beat the throw home, winning the game for the Crimson.
In game two, Bruno fell behind once again but never made a comeback.
With Leah Nakashima '17 on the mound, Bruno allowed four runs in the first inning, two in the second and one each in the third and fourth. As the Bears failed to score, by rule, the game was ended after five innings.
Sunday, the Bears looked to salvage the weekend with at least one win in two more games against Harvard. But Bruno's losing ways continued, as the Crimson proved too much for the Bears to handle.
All season, the Bears have worked from behind, often falling victim to irreversible deficits. But in Sunday afternoon's first game, it was Bruno that jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on a first-inning RBI single from Sarah Syrop '17.
But Harvard erased the lead in its half of the first with three runs and added another in the second. Bruno was stymied after the first, recording only three hits and not scoring through the end of the game.
For the Bears, the inability to sustain an offensive attack has become an unfortunate trademark. In Sunday's finale, while Bruno appeared briefly to have found its offensive rhythm, it simply was not to be.
After the Bears scored once in the top of the first, they fell behind again, as the Crimson answered with a pair of runs. After Bruno retook the lead with two runs in the third and another in the fifth, the Crimson answered back with three more of their own. And then, in the bottom of the sixth, Harvard, with three swings of the bat that drove in six runs, took the game out of the Bears' hands.
It was perhaps the Bears' worst weekend of the season: They lost all four games while scoring only 12 runs and allowing 32. After a weekend against Dartmouth that, despite ending without a win, showed some signs of encouragement, the performance was particularly crushing.
Four games remain in Bruno's season: two doubleheaders, home and away, Friday and Saturday against Yale. The Bears, who have lost 11 straight, have just one chance to secure some wins and bring their record back to something resembling a successful season.

Having tested Aspern Essling to death, this game was to be new challenge in a variety of ways. This game would see 12 gamers, the maximum that I would want to do for the table size. This game would also see the "Command & Control" rules used for the first time. All rules were now in play.
Austerlitz is really too big a battle to do, even with 24' (8 metres) width if you want a decent troop density. I had already split the battle into 2 fronts when playing in 28mm, north and south and I picked the southern front for this game.
A problem with Austerlitz is that it does work better if neither side is really aware of the historical outcome, from deployment to events that occurred. To try and emulate this, I decided to be French and so fixed the French deployment to a largely historical one. For the allies, I found an amenable volunteer in Steve Miles to be the Commander in Chief and sent him a map, OB and a strategic background to the campaign so far and the present situation. I also gave a false date to hide the battle. I asked Steve to come up with a deployment and orders that were timed.
Amazingly enough, the allied plan virtually mirrored the historical plan with virtually all the allied columns in the historical positions.
Now it was to the game. Before showing lots of piccies, I will share some points that make these rules fundamentally different to existing rules and how this influences gaming.
The changes all really relate to 2 major changes, figure scale and the treatment of cavalry. Because units are larger in game turns, it takes a lot longer to degrade units. Simply put, 3 times longer. As a result, units that engage in melee early on tend to get a result that maintains the status quo because the units are still relatively fresh. Attacks have to be prepared and the enemy weakened or unformed. This is where artillery is also now different. A 12pdr battery blazing away at long range against an infantry unit will spend most of his time killing some men but unlikely to seriously damage any unit in the short term. Artillery is now most effective as a support weapon. You get the artillery into a position where it can attempt to support the attacks.
Cavalry now need space, and crucially, a proper reason to go charging all the over the place with no real purpose. Otherwise they will get degraded quite easily.
The order system has now completed the misery for the player who simply wants to go where he wants, when he wants. I grade Generals according to my interpretation of their historical ability or specific behaviour in a given battle.
The allied plan was an extended left hook staring from the far left. The centre would advance when the 2 villages nearest were taken, Telnitz and Sokolnitz. The allies now new the game but things were in motion. The Russian right was to take the village to their front, seize the stream crossings and then hold. The village to their front was Puntowitz.
It was the French who were hampered initially by "command and control" as there was only 1 French General, St Hilaire, deployed thinly from Telnitz to Sokolnitz. This meant that the village of Telnitz fell fairly quickly and the defence in this area had to be undertaken from the far side of the Goldbach stream.
This was an immediate allied assault, led by Russian Grenadiers, on Sokolnitz. This would be the first of four major assaults, the French holding them all off (with some timely luck in places).
This is the allied advance between the Pheasantry (off camera to the right) and Puntowitz (off camera to the left) where the Austrian contingent was attempting to force the crossing of the Goldbach.
This is the allied highpoint on their right flank as they attack Puntowitz from 2 sides. The French would hold after the infantry combats because both sides were still relatively fresh.
This is a view that shows the assault on Sokolnitz in the foreground, allied columns advancing in the centre following their timed orders and the allies on their right, struggling to neutralise Puntowitz. I should have added earlier that the battle started with the area swathed in dense fog and formations were not allowed to even attempt to change orders (either side) until someone in the formation saw visible enemy troops. This worked well. The "fog" was controlled by a predetermined time when it would start lifting (known only to me) albeit the players were given indications based on how the fog had behaved on the previous few days.
A view of the whole battlefield, not long before the French hammer blow would fall on the allied right flank, roughly where Gordon (big oik at the end of the table) is standing.
The French, with Puntowitz stable, now start to attack with Vandamme, to the right of Puntowitz and up the Pratzen.
This shows the French attacking between Puntowitz and Pratzen village. The Russian guard can now be seen deployed, at the top of the picture, in an attempt to stop this flank attack.
This is a picky of the final major assault on Sokolnitz, from 2 sides. This assault was also checked. The battalion actually in the village, would end the day still in place (mainly because I couldn't get it out!).
This is the standard gallery picky of the players. We had quite a few newbies this time. From the left, is Neil, of Reinforcements by Post fame. It is not without his considerable help and understanding that this project has come on so far and relatively quickly. Next from the left is Keith, picking his brains on building regs has been quite fruitful. Then we come to the guys on the right who all normally play together at home (gaming that is). Far right is Brian, just retired from teaching. Next is Iain, both famous and infamous from Boleyn's fame (ask no questions) who appears from his expression to be reminiscing about Boleyn's? Then comes Paul, usually seen propping up Iain at Boleyn's.
I included this one as it now includes Steve (in the loo apparently for the previous piccy) and also Iain who now seems to be back with us..?!?!?!
A last picky of the northern end showing the French assault up the Pratzen with the Russian Guard to the left being slowly but inexorably being pushed back and at the far end the remaining allied columns being checked.
All in all a good game, it had a very historic feel with the outcome mirroring the historical battle. This game will get some other outings and the game in December is now in planning, but what to do as it largely depends on the arrival of painted cavalry units. We will see no doubt!
Just spent the whole morning reading your blog and am a little thrown! I/we have spent years and 1000's upon 1000 of pounds trying to do what you guys did in 28mm at WHC and now I see you're doing in 10mm!!! Naturally it looks awesome! My initial reaction is to sell our rarely used vast 15mm collections and emulate this in 6mm - I need to rest and adjust though, dear God!
I also was inspired by the construction of the "situation room" as I will be doing something a little similar in the coming years. Table construction is something I might contact you about.
Is there any sign of the rules being published? If not could I have a copy to look at, happy to sign NDA's if required.
Last of all I 'd be honoured if you took a peek at my blog as much of what you did in a former existence inspired it.
Any help needed with any part of the project, including suppliers, just ask. The plan is to publish the rules early next year. The last part of playtesting in currently being done.
Excellent news Sir - I hoped that would be the case. I'll keep an eye on your blog for updates and come forward with questions when the time comes.


Hello! I'm Eld. I'm currently a young student aiming to get a degree in animation and illustration, being an artist. I do traditional and digital art, so I am often able to do designs for whatever job I'm involved in if it's not around art! I am also a hobbyist writer. Voice acting is something I've always considered, but only for a hobby- and I simply find it fun!- Despite everyone hating how their voice sounds recorded, haha. I hope my voice suits your needs and I can be a help wherever I go. If not, good luck with all your work!


Based on previous studies, the kidney is the most common site of extra hematopoietic involvement in hematologic malignancies, up to 90% in certain series. As with any other kidney disease, the approach to acute kidney injury (AKI) should try and distinguish between pre-renal, intrarenal, and post-renal causes. Here, we will focus on intra-renal causes of AKI that develop due to leukemias and lymphomas. Intra-renal AKI can be divided by the site of injury: the vasculature, glomeruli, tubules, and interstitium.
Renovascular disorders associated with malignancy have multiple mechanisms. Lymphomas have been associated with the production of antiphospholipid (APL) antibodies, with consequent thrombosis of the renal artery and/or renal vein. Of note, APL antibodies may become negative with adequate treatment of the underlying malignancy. Malignancies with high white blood cell counts such as myeloid leukemias may rarely present with leukocyte thrombi and fibrin clots in the kidney vasculature. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a condition mostly seen in the pediatric population after initiation of chemotherapeutic agents. Simultaneous presentation of HUS with acute lymphoblastic leukemia before commencement of treatment has been reported.
The association of glomerular diseases with malignancy is well-recognized, with certain glomerular lesions more specific to particular hematologic malignancies. Hodgkin's lymphomas may cause multiple glomerular pathologies (most commonly minimal change disease, MCD) which can precede the diagnosis in a third of cases. Less often, focal segemental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN), and anti-glomerular basement membrane disease can be seen.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, through the production of cytokines and subsequent immune complex deposition, predominantly causes proliferative lesions such as membranoproliferative GN (MPGN) (Fig 1). Acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia may uncommonly cause MPGN, FSGS, and MCD, though they are more commonly known for causing lysozyme-induced nephropathy.
Tubular disorders, in particular acute tubular necrosis (ATN), are the most common causes of intrinsic AKI, with sepsis and medications being the typical precipitating events. Described in the 1960s, lysozyme-induced ATN is a less common cause of AKI. Lysozymes are a cationic proteins excreted by monocytes and macrophages which are freely filtered by the glomerulus and reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. In certain hematologic malignancies, especially monocytic and monomyelocytic leukemia, high concentrations of lysozymes can cause ATN as well as kaliuresis with subsequent hypokalemia and proteinuria. Measurement of serum and urine electrophoresis exhibiting high gamma globulin levels may provide the first clue to diagnosis. Immunofixation electrophoresis should be also performed to look for evidence of monoclonal gammopathies.
Kidney infiltration by hematologic malignancies is common (Fig 2), however AKI secondary to infiltration is rare. Nevertheless, when this is bilateral and predominantly in the interstitium, increased pressure may lead to increased tubular pressures, tubular obstruction and compression of peritubular capillaries leading to ATN. In most cases, kidney function should improve with chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
In summary, hematologic malignancies can cause kidney damage through multiple mechanisms and affect various compartments of the kidney. The approach should be the same as in other forms of AKI. Imaging studies may demonstrate enlargement of both kidneys in cases of malignant infiltration and kidney biopsy may help confirm the etiology of kidney injury.


I recently started a new job at an ambulance company. The shifts are variable - some days I'm busy for 12 hours straight, and other days I'll have a couple hours of downtime. I'm looking for ideas for how to put this time to good use.
What are your suggestions for easily pick-up-able and put-down-able projects? I've considered knitting but I think that I'd lose track of where I was if I got a call in the middle of a row. Similarly, I do some freelance editing on the side, but since both that work and these periods of idelness are intermittent, I'm looking for additional ideas.
I'll be doing this thing in an ambulance likely while sitting next to my partner, so something minimally noisy and with few moving parts would be best. I like science, language, music, cooking, and books. I'm not big into visual art of most kinds. I have access to a smartphone and a tablet computer.
Is crochet easier than knitting, in terms of put-downableness?
Two things would be good. 1) Teaching yourself to write with your non dominant hand. It's a skill that takes huge practice and is useful in unexpected times.2) If at all possible, is there some kind of exercise you could do? Like calf lifts or stretches. While listening to a podcast maybe. But getting some extra exercise is always a good thing.
Hand embroidery can be put down and picked up again very easily. As can letter writing, tweeting, and Words With Frienfs. But really, teach yourself to write cack handed.
Learn a bit of a new language with an app like Duolingo.
Seconding christinethesip on language - in addition to Duolingo, I'm a big fan of Anki for spaced-repetition flashcards, which you can use to learn ANYTHING - languages, but also science, geography, history, pub trivia, whatever interests you.
Although you say you're not into visual art, sketching is a great skill to have - it's fun, and it's also often surprisingly useful. A pen, a pencil, and a smallish sketchbook are all you need. You could draw scientific diagrams or mechanical models or whatever.


As students are getting ready to graduate or those who are considering a change of employment, EDF-Lao understands the difficulty of finding a job therefore EDF-Lao joined the Lao-Japan Job Fair along with 30 other companies and organizations on May 18th, 2016 located at the Lao-Japan Institute on the National University of Laos.
EDF-Lao believe volunteer work gives students to get involved with new things and develop technical, social and academic skills that couldn't be learn in a classroom setting. Volunteering allows one to experience different environments and situations and can help one get experience in their area of interest and meet people in the field. It gives them opportunities to test out a desired career path and practice important skills used in the workplace, such as teamwork, communication, problem solving, project planning, task management, and organization. One can be able to master these skills in a volunteer position and therefore be more comfortable using their skills in the work environment, other such skills may include improving your public speaking, communication, marketing skills etc…Volunteering also is an extra bonus to put on their resume. Volunteering is a gateway to the workforce for someone who is young and inexperienced and EDF-Lao wish to bring these opportunities to them. We had a successful turn out and signed up over 40 volunteers.

Components of the BNP-led 20-party combine on Monday decided to take various action programmes in alliance and party-wise demanding the release of ailing Khaleda Zia from jail.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the top leaders of the alliance at BNP chairperson's Gulshan office.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, 20-party coordinator and BNP standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan said, "Our meeting expressed deep concern over the deteriorating health condition of Khaleda Zia, and demanded her immediate release."
To press for the demand of the BNP chief's release, he said, the meeting also decided to announce different programmes in alliance while the alliance partners will also observe separate programmes at their own initiatives, UNB reports.
Khan, however, said the alliance leaders will again sit in a meeting to work out their action programmes.
He said they also decided that they will wage a united mass movement to 'restore' democracy in the country.
Replying to a question, the BNP leader said there is no conflict among the partners of the 20-party and the Jatiya Oikyafront. "We'll carry out our movement together."
The meeting that lasted nearly one and half an hours began around 8:40 pm on Monday with BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in the chair.

Q: Unable to retrieve selected dropdownlist value of ASP.NET webform in C# .cs file I am trying to access selected dropdownlist data in .cs file but unable to fetch same. I am fetching data in dropdownlist from mysql database.
.aspx code:
    <asp:DropDownList ID="ddrc_name" runat="server" Height="22px" Width="155px"></asp:DropDownList>

    <asp:Button ID="display_btn" runat="server" Text="Display" Height="37px"  Width="125px" OnClick="display_btn_Click" />

.cs code:
protected void display_btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string rc_name =  Request.Form["ddrc_name"];
    String category = "Painter";

    Response.Redirect("~/dispay_rate_card.aspx?rc_name="+rc_name+"&category="+category);
}

How can I fetch selected dropdown data in .cs file from webform?

A: Have you tried:
var selectedText = rc_name.SelectedItem.Text;
var selectedValue = rc_name.SelectedItem.Value;

A: Thanks for helping.
I am able to fetch DropDownList selected data from Webform if I directly create webform rather than using Master template.
String dd = Request.Form["DropDownList1"];
If I am creating webform using master page then unable to fetch selected data of DropDownList.

As a food science major in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, Cotter, who graduated in 2018, had a unique opportunity to investigate his pondering. "One of the great things about food science is that you have the opportunity to study food products that you enjoy yourself," said Cotter, whose research findings indicate that freezing does help preserve the aroma of certain varieties of beans. The results were published recently in the journal Beverages. "Like many people, I really love a good cup of coffee in the morning. With the rise in popularity of craft coffee, I wanted to do a project that will help coffee connoisseurs maintain the quality of coffee beans," he said.
He found an enthusiastic supporter in Helene Hopfer, Rasmussen Career Development Professor in Food Science, who believed the research would yield insights that would be of value to consumers, especially those investing in "specialty" or gourmet coffee beans, which can cost more than traditional coffee due to careful selection of beans and small batch roasting. "When it comes to specialty coffee, there are lots of different opinions about how best to preserve the coffee," she said. "There are many who are against storing coffee beans in the freezer to avoid condensation, but looking into the scientific literature, Andrew could not find any evidence of that."
Under Hopfer's supervision and with support from Tiffany Murray, coordinator of the Penn State's Sensory Evaluation Center, Cotter in September 2017 began his two-part study, which began with a chemical analysis of six bean samples of roast levels from a light "City" roast to a dark "Vienna" roast. Using a testing procedure called headspace gas chromatography—mass spectroscopy, Cotter separated and identified the hundreds of volatile molecules in coffee beans.
Through this process, he pinpointed the molecules responsible for aroma and measured the loss of those molecules based on roast level, storage time and storage temperature.
After roasting the beans, Cotter stored half of the samples in the freezer and half at room temperature for nine weeks, a timeframe that Hopfer said was based on commercial practice. "Many coffee producers will package their coffee and ship it out, and then it may sit on the shelf in the grocery store for a couple weeks before being purchased," she said. "In that respect, nine weeks is not too extreme."
Those stored beans—and another freshly roasted batch—were used for the sensory portion of the experiment, which was done at the Sensory Evaluation Center using projective mapping, a technique that explores similarities and differences among a set of products. A group of 48 coffee consumers then was asked to smell the coffee grounds from the different roasts and storage treatments and arrange them on a large sheet of paper—placing similar-smelling grounds close to one another and dissimilar-smelling grounds farther apart—using descriptors such as appealing, unappealing, strong, burnt, dark, light, floral and roasted.
What Cotter found was that for dark roast, most panelists noticed very little difference in aroma between frozen and fresh coffee beans. When it came to the room-temperature-stored dark roasts, however, participants placed those samples away from the others, indicating that it had a "different" aroma, Cotter said. As for the light roast samples, he said the panelists did not note substantial aroma differences among any of the samples, indicating that the light roasts lost less aroma over nine weeks than the dark roast. This trend also was reflected in the chemical analysis, he noted. "In short, the analysis showed that freezing coffee beans, especially dark roast varieties, helps to maintain the intensity and pleasantness of coffee aroma," said Cotter, who received an undergraduate research award from the college.
Cotter, who is now a graduate student at the University of California, Davis, said he is appreciative of the opportunities that were provided to him by Penn State and the Department of Food Science. "I came to Penn State with a surface-level appreciation for food products themselves, but I came out with a greater appreciation for all of the hard work that goes into making our food delicious, consistent and safe," he said. "Being in that atmosphere was incredibly important in helping me stay motivated and excited about what I was learning."

At the same time, VA is concerned that certain lenders are exploiting cash-out refinancing as a loophole to the responsible refinancing Congress envisioned when enacting section 309 of the Act
VA recognizes there are certain advantages to a veteran who wants to obtain a cash-out refinance, and VA has no intention of unduly curtailing veterans' access to the equity they have earned in their homes. Nevertheless, some lenders are pressuring veterans to increase artificially their home loan amounts when refinancing, without regard to the long-term costs to the veteran and without adequately advising the veteran of the veteran's loss of home equity. In doing so, veterans are placed at a higher financial risk, and the lender avoids compliance with the more stringent requirements Congress mandated for less risky refinance loans.
Lender uncertainty and the potential loophole may also cause investors to devalue VA refinance loans until VA steps in to resolve the issues. Thus, VA believes that, unless VA promulgates rules quickly, a loss of investor optimism in the VA product could further restrict veterans from being able to utilize their earned VA benefits.
VA does not plan to dispense with the notice and comment requirements altogether. Section 309(a)(2)(A)(ii) and (iii) of the Act requires VA, 10 days before publication of the rule, to submit a notice of the waiver to the House and Senate Committees on Veterans' Affairs and publish the notice in the Federal Register. Public Law 115-174, 132 Stat. 1296. VA has complied with these requirements. Section 309(a)(2)(B) further requires VA to seek public notice and comment on this regulation if the regulation will be in effect for a period exceeding one year. Public Law 115-174, 132 Stat. 1296. VA anticipates the regulation will be in effect past the one-year mark. Therefore, VA is seeking public comment on this rulemaking.
Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 13771
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review) emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) defines a "significant regulatory action" requiring review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), unless OMB waives such review, as "any regulatory action that is likely to result in a rule that may: (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or communities; (2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or (4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in this Executive Order."
The economic, interagency, budgetary, legal, and policy implications of this regulatory action have been examined, and it has been determined to be an economically significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. VA's impact analysis can be found as a supporting document at usually within 48 hours after the rulemaking document is published. Additionally, a copy of the rulemaking and its impact analysis are available on VA's website at by following the link for "VA Regulations Published From FY 2004 Through Fiscal Year to Date." This interim final rule is considered an E.O. 13771 regulatory action. Details on the estimated costs of this interim final rule can be found in the rule's economic analysis.
