Does anyone know whats going on with Monroe County MPSCS? No ones scanner is picking up anything, just happened within the past two days! Thanks

It's called rebanding. All the frequencies will change by 15MHz. The database here at RR reflects that and has for some time now. During the start of rebanding RR had both the new and old frequencies so if you auto programmed the scanner it would work no matter what. If you look at the MPSCS page here on RR you will see most sites have all changed the schedule look slike all will be complete by tomorrow for the entire state if bad weather doesn't interfere.

It looks like Monroe was done yesterday So reprogram the radio wit the new frequencies and it will work.

Les thank you for your reply, I put in the 2 control channels but still nothing!
Try them all there may be a control channel change that nobody has reported yet. Since they just programmed it they could have changed to one of the others. I would check each one and see and if it has them submit that to RR so we can update it.
Well, I put in all 10 freqs listed still nothing, guess i will have to wait for a listing update?

If you are using an older Radio Shack scanner such as the Pro-96/2096; you may need to modify the scanners front end of the receiver in order to here the new control channels. Early models of these scanners were never designed to receive these frequencies and therefore some modification may be necessary. For what it's worth, I just drove north on US-23 through Monroe and I was hearing everything fine on both the BCD396XT and the new BCD436HP on the new control channels. BTW, the new control channels are as follows:
That is all that you should need to program; unless of course, you are using the older Radio Shack scanners...
W2GLD, What exactly is it I have to do to my PRO-2096/PRO-96 to get them to work? Also, I havent been home to try my RS Home Patrol with the new control channels yet to see if it is going to work.Thanks!
The Homepatrol shouldn't have any issues once you update the control channels. As for the modifications to Radio Shack scanners, it has something to due with swapping a few internal components; you'll have to do some searching on the web for that procedure, I do not own any Radio Shack or GRE scanners any longer.
Good luck, but I personally think it's time to retire the Pro-96/2096 scanners...

You dont need software to enter tables for MPSCS, just enter the new frequencies.

The new frequencies have always been included in the PRO-96/2096 as standard frequencies. There should be no hardware modification needed to monitor the MPSCS after rebanding other than entering the new frequencies into the programming.

Mike, I'm only reporting what many others across the country have experienced with Rebanding and the Radio Shack scanners; remember, Michigan is one of the last places to reband.
If you do a quick Google search about the issue, you'll find countless reports about the lack of sensitivity of these receivers in the lower portion of the 800 MHz. band. Somewhere out here is a link from someone in Texas that worked for Radio Shacks repair facility, he found a way to bring these radios back to specs, but it required a slight hardware modification of a few internal components. My father, back in Philadelphia still has a a Radio Shack Pro-2096 and after Rebanding, it can no longer decode properly either, no matter what we've tried (custom tables, etc.). It's an early serial number covered by this article. Others in the Philadelphia area had the same issues, except those with late model serial numbers of these radios. Others have modified their radios and they are now working again. We no longer have any of these legacy radios to test with as we've all upgraded for Project-25 Phase II at this point, but this is an issue with these scanners and Rebanding.
My guess is, if a user has one of these units AND they are close in to the tower site they are listening to (full scale on the s-meter)' than everything will likely work; however, those who had marginal signals, let's say anything less then full scale, they may indeed have issues.
Again, only sharing experiences I've had and other topics I've scene to attempt to help this user. I think we can all agree, with GRE's demise, and Rebanding, AND Phase II on the horizon, it's time to start replacing these old units anyhow, especially given all the LCD failures, which many should begin experiencing about now, given the age of this radio. Shame GRE used such a substandard part,, otherwise that wouldn't have been an issue.
The Pro-96 and 2096 was indeed designed to receive these frequencies.The 800 MHz analog systems were using these frequencies long before the Pro-96 came out. You may be confusing adding 700MHz to the radio. You can do that with Win96 but the radio will not automatically track the addition of 700MHz since the CPU wasn't coded for it. You'll see sensitivity drops off a lot too.
Page 110 lists the original band that the Pro-96 covered.

Monroe locked out of local scanner channels
I noticed yesterday that I could longer listen to my Pro 96 scanner. It had been working fine the previous day. The message said that all channels were locked out. I called Radio Shack and the sales person told me that Monroe, which is following Detroit, has locked out scanners from listening. He thought they may have switched to different ways of broadcasting. Did anyone hear anything about this and will it be locked out forever. Thanks to anyone who might know about this. Jan
I don't want to totally hijack the thread, but Warren used to use frequencies on their trunked system in the 851-854 range. I never had problems picking them up on my PRO-96 when I used it. I suppose they could have some sensitivity drift issues, but they should work without modification otherwise.

The only thing that changed is the frequencies, which moved down 15 mhz. Where are you seeing a message that all channels are locked out.
Note, in the future don't believe anything a radio shack employee tells you about scanners, they have no idea what they are talking about.

I will second that. The people there are only good for trying to sell you a cell phone. Monroe (and Detroit) is working as it always has... only 15mhz lower then it was before. It sounds like there might be some kind of issue with the programming on your scanner. I assure you that if the new control channels are put in properly, and there are no other programming issues, you will start hearing everyone again. As someone who owns a Pro-96 and has gone through the re-banding, I can tell you no hardware modifications are required for the MPSCS. Don't give up on it.
BearX243
Has anyone herd anything from the new channels yet our found a fix for our radio's so we can hear them.
The only "fix" needed is to program your scanner with the new frequencies. Nothing else changed with the system.
I downloaded them today from the database and still dead nothing from Monroe

The ABY Mix is designed to route two input signals to two output sources.
Each input has its own level control to balance different input levels.
Each output channel is turned on/off via a footswitch for that channel.
Each output channel has an LED indicator that lights when that channel is on.
While there are countless uses for the ABY Mix, below are a few examples to get you started.
Unity gain is at approximately 10 o'clock on each input knob.
From 10 o'clock to 1 o'clock, will add clean boost and turning up beyond 1 o'clock will add slight overdrive.
The ABY Mix powers up from one 9V battery or optional Morley® 9V 300mA adapter (center polarity is negative).

directed by Delbert Mann
featuring Richard Thomas, Donald Pleasence, Patricia Neal, Ian Holm, Ernest Borgnine
Years after directing the classic Marty (1955), Delbert Mann became a creator of prestige TV movie projects, none more daunting than his adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front (1979). Richard Thomas stars as Paul Baumer, a teen who, at the urging of zealously patriotic teacher Kantorek (Donald Pleasence) enthusiastically enlists to fight for Germany in WWI, accompanied by several school chums. After training at the hands of the sadistic Corporal Himmelstoss (Ian Holm), Paul and his friends head for the front. There, they discover that war is a bloody, deadly business, although they are heartened by the presence of their commander, wily veteran Stanislaus Katczinsky (Ernest Borgnine). When a French soldier jumps into the bomb crater where Paul has taken refuge one night, he is forced to stab the enemy, then must watch the man die in agony. This incident and the violent deaths of his friends convince Paul that war is a senseless exercise. One of the most respected anti-war novels ever written, the book resulted in the German citizenship of author Erich Maria Remarque being revoked by the Nazi Party. Though a 1930 film adaptation by Lewis Milestone was widely beloved by fans of cinema and the source material, Mann's TV movie was well received, earning a Golden Globe and Emmys for Borgnine and Patricia Neal, who played Paul's mother.

Spectacular sea views, beachfront and pine trees would be the best descriptors for this outstanding "beachfront" Sea Pines Golf Course, which interestingly also has a railway track dividing it. For all the talk for the 3rd befitting golf course to Hua Hin after Black Mountain and Banyan, Sea Pines is the definite answer to those. The signature hole, the 17th par 3, requires a well-executed tee shot that needs to carry over water, factor the wind and miss the beach bunkers both in the front and back of the green.

REVIEW: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
November 14, 2014 CJ Stewart Leave a comment
Directed by: Eric Rodomski, Bruce Timm
Produced by: Alan Burnett, Michael Uslan, Benjamin Melniker, Bruce Timm
Screenplay by: Alan Burnett, Paul Dini, Martin Pasko, Michael Reaves
Story by: Alan Burnett
Edited by: Al Breitenbach
Music by: Shirley Walker
Starring: Kevin Conroy, Dana Delany, Hart Bochner, Stacy Keach, Abe Vigoda, Mark Hamill, Efram Zimbalist, Jr., Robert Costanzo, Bob Hastings, Dick Miller, John P. Ryan
Based on the DC Comics character created by Bob Kane and Batman: The Animated Series
I would just like to begin this review by pointing out that 2014 marks the 75th anniversary of Batman's creation, and pretty much every Batman movie has been released to Blu-Ray, including the 1960s Adam West feature film based on the camp TV series. The one exception, however, may very well be the most wanted of them all among those who have seen films based on the Caped Crusader: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Along with its sequel, Sub-Zero, these two films, based on arguably the greatest animated superhero series of all time, have yet to see anything beyond a DVD-quality release. Meanwhile, the infinitely inferior Mystery of the Batwoman has been given a release, and, while I'm certainly thankful for it, even the spinoff Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker was given its time in the HD spotlight long ago. Wouldn't now be the perfect time to release a double pack or something, Warner Bros.? Or are you going to wait until the 25th anniversary of this movie to do that? That's 4 years away, you know… Read more…

2013 IN REVIEW: The Films I Didn't See (January – April)
January 11, 2014 CJ Stewart 3 comments
With a few exceptions, this is the time of year when studios tend to dump lesser films and films not expected to do well during the blockbuster and Oscar seasons — stuff like low budget horror films, foreign imports, romcoms cashing in on Valentine's Day, and films held off because the studios would rather market them at a time when nothing else is really out, and they might be able to get a few bucks out of those who crave a blockbuster but don't want to wait a few months. Naturally, being the thrifty, frugal person I am, there were quite a few films I didn't see during this time period, though with the summer blockbuster season creeping earlier and earlier into the year, such as with the high profile March release of Oz the Great and Powerful and the April release of Iron Man 3, it certainly seems like studios are catching on to the idea that, hey, there's room to spread them all out. One can only hope that if that trend continues, filmmakers would be more likely to try harder and make films that standout in quality for your dollar… but that's probably unrealistic.
Anyway, here are the films that, as of this writing, I did not see from January – April 2013, in order of release, as noted on Wikipedia. Please note that, as in the past, I still reserve the right to watch any film that is listed here and then re-remark on the film in one of the upcoming articles on films I did see from 2013. So, yes, you might see some of these films again, and soon… Read more…

Based on the play by Claude Magnier
Sometimes it's nice to rely on friends to make suggestions for you when you're in the mood for something different that you might have overlooked previously. The last time I did a review at the suggestion of a friend, his out of left field suggestion (after Macross, which, he had forgotten, wasn't just a single movie but a whole series) was K-PAX, a movie I had always been somewhat curious about but never really interested enough to ever actually pursue – or even remember, for that matter. I ultimately didn't end up liking it that much, but I enjoyed the suggestion, nonetheless. So, as Guy Movie Month was coming to a close, I asked another friend of mine what movie I should review next that I hadn't seen. He came up with the answer pretty quickly: Oscar. Read more…

Q: Emulate old CMake version I'm building a project for a build server which uses CMake 2.8.12. However my local version needs to be CMake 3.3 to support VS2015. So I tend to use features (like interface-libraries) that are not available in CMake 2.8 which I only notice once I pushed it to the build-server.
Is it possible to make CMake act like an older version and (at least) warn/error on using features that came with newer versions?
I know about about the policies and I could set all of them to OLD but that won't stop me from (e.g.) using an interface library.
What also makes it harder is that the documentation does not seem to mention when a feature was added. You would have to crawl through all release notes. Or is there a central changelog? Like "Added after CMake 2.8.12 to 3.3.1" or so?

Top Gun 2 cast went to boot camp to become "mini Tom Cruises"
You'd expect a certain level of training is needed when you star in an action movie, but the Top Gun 2 cast had a very specific goal for their preparation
Starring in a huge action movie is always going to require a certain level of training to prepare for a role. For the cast of the upcoming Top Gun 2, their boot camp had a very specific goal in mind when getting its stars ready for the movie – they wanted to create a clan of "mini Tom Cruises".
As the long-awaited sequel to a bonafide '80s classic, Top Gun: Maverick has a lot to live up to. The movie will see Tom Cruise reprise his role as the charming fighter pilot Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, alongside Jennifer Connelly, Val Kilmer, Jon Hamm, and Ed Harris. Top Gun: Maverick is being directed by Joseph Kosinski, who worked with Cruise previously on the sci-fi movie Oblivion.
Miles Teller will also star in Top Gun 2, as he leads a group of new recruits to the naval fleet which are set to be mentored by Cruise's Maverick. But, if you want to fly with the best, you have to be the best! And that's exactly what the training boot camp for Top Gun 2 aimed to achieve.
Teller was speaking to Total Film Magazine recently, and he offered an insight into the training regime he and his fellow Top Gun actors had to go through in order to prepare for their roles.
"We were all mini Toms making this movie," says Teller. "He put us through… I'll just call it a 'Tom Cruise boot camp'. We were getting in killer shape," he added.
"For the stunts and stuff that Tom does in movies, it's usually a very specific type of training. You're not just going into the gym and lifting some weights," Teller explains. "We did flight training for three months before we started filming… We got put through the wringer," the actor concluded.
We know how much Cruise loves practical stunts, so it's no surprise that he wanted his co-stars to match his commitment levels on the Top Gun 2 set. The movie releases on May 27, 2022.

Sustainable business practices are gaining relevance fast as more and more businesses evaluate their environmental impact. Oregon Law's Green Business Law concentration prepares students to enter this emerging field by immersing them in a rich, interdisciplinary curriculum. Students interested in the environment and natural resources law should also consider concurrently pursuing an Environmental Law concentration to complement their legal education.
In addition to completing the curriculum referenced above, a student must satisfactorily complete an appropriate paper, clinic, externship, business plan, integrative project, or substantially equivalent work. All work must be approved by a member of the Green Business Law Concentration Committee.


I have to apologize for the fact that the picture for this post is not up to par, but I had to put my pride aside and post this recipe anyway because it is SO GOOD!
What would New Years Day be without nachos??? The other day I had a craving for nachos and with the New Year coming-up I decided to figure this one out…How do you make a yummy vegan nacho cheese sauce? It turns out the answer is really easy.
My family had so much fun building their own nachos and I think everyone was happy that mama had a nacho craving!
Warm all ingredients over medium to medium-low heat until completely melted and incorporated.
I really encourage using a good quality salsa as it will have a big impact on the final product. Trader Joe's Serrano Salsa Fresca is seriously good.
This would also be really great in a vegan 7 layer dip.
What do you like to serve on New Years Day?
Yours looks super easy and delicious–thank you for sharing! I really look forward to your blog posts!
I am glad you got the products in the mail… How do you like them?
Love them, thank you. I had only tried the vanilla before, so the samples of the other flavors are very awesome. This is the only powder supplement I've ever liked, and I definitely need to be taking one, but I'm a student can't really afford to rebuy it all the time.
Mmmm Made this up for movie night! Sprinkled in some nutritional yeast and added a dab of earth balance… Perfect nacho cheese recipe!

over the past few months, instagram has allowed me to capture small things in the everyday, like trips to the post office, meals for one, prop details and of course new lettering ideas. hope you enjoy!
a few years ago, as i was finishing up my degree in atlanta at SCAD (savannah college of art and design), i was thrilled to score an internship at anthropologie to help with the holiday display season. this experience was actually extended for another three months, where i got to work at another atlanta location after the holidays with more regular display installation duties. i loved that in my time as an intern, i was able to learn about the ins and outs of the company, to see the weekly responsibilities of what i still consider to be a dream job – crafting things all day – as a display artist, and become part of the team of artists that strategize how to display everything in the store, from all the home goods to each individual apparel item. my favorite part had to be decorating for the holidays. there was so much that we created to make the store environment feel like a winter wonderland. paper chains, glitter, baubles and more were weekly staples! one of my favorite projects in the spring was a window display that we created to raise awareness about the rise in extinction of honeybees. we created our own stencil on the window that resembled a honeycomb pattern and each window got a different placement. enjoy the images below!
i love instagram. i love that i can snap a quick shot, usually styled with intention, of what i am working on at the moment and post it for feedback. a book that i am currently reading about building more of an intentional creative lifestyle gave some advice for starting to build into our days small habits that can help that "spark" of creativity come more naturally. in learning and thinking about these things, i do tend to agree with the author that we all can have great brilliant moments of creativity, but we also need to help structure those moments in the everyday so we can take advantage of them best when they do come. so here are a few of my recent pictures from instagram and if you would like to follow me, click here. enjoy!
i'm a collector, and i like to group items together. it's been a while since i've arranged a display at the retail store that i used to work at, and honestly, i miss it. i have, over the years, grown more in an understanding of what styling means and how much i am passionate about it. first glances, or long stares alike, a well-grouped set of objects makes me happy. making items seem delicately arranged and placed so it looks like things naturally fell a certain way is one of the hardest things to do, but i attempted it in these images.
below are a few examples of things that i had laying around the house that i decided to group together in new ways. one of the key lessons i have learned over the years is you have to see an item for all its possibilities. still growing and learning, but having fun exploring the options in ways i can style more in the future. enjoy!


In Sitecore Clones explained in more detail: Part 1 – we went over a few items things about clones that could be useful in deciding how and where to use them, and their basic function. In this post, I'll go over a specific code-related solution we had to apply to get all our business cases implemented.
1. Notice that instead of applying the changes right in the OnItemSaved method, we are kicking off a job with a 1 second delay. Why? Because the notifications do not get added to the clones until after the item:saved event has been completed. So if you were to check the notification for that item at the time of this code running, there would be no notifications. There are other methods that you could also hook into, such as item:added, or item:created, but one of them has been deprecated, and the other only hits the first time. item:saved is something that gets called all the time, so this is more reliable. It will also get called when a new language version is added, or when new numbered version is added.
2. There are several different types of notification that get created, based on the changes to the parent item. The notification types can be for a field change, for a child created, for an item that moved, or a version created. In AcceptChanges method, once you get all the notifications for the cloned item, you check and auto-accept only certain notifications.
3. Clones by default do not inherit workflow. So, workflow fields are not copied over at all, even on the notification changes. The easiest (and somewhat crude) way to do this is to manually copy the fields over, so when a publish job runs, it will publish the cloned items also.
4. Because we are only accepting notifications, and not really concerned with the changes are, we don't have to write code to figure out the changes are. This simplifies things, and lets Sitecore handle applying the actual changes.
Similar to how we are force accepting the notifications, you can definitely write code to do anything your specific business scenario requires.

This chapter discusses hypercalcemia of malignancy which is the commonest biochemical complication of cancer and recognized as a medical emergency. Hypercalcemia presents with a wide range of clinical symptoms which in some cases can be severe and life-threatening. It is essential for clinicians to consider hypercalcemia as a differential diagnosis in patients with nonspecific symptoms, as hypercalcemia is potentially reversible. The following sections will review normal calcium homeostasis and discuss the mechanisms of how cancer disrupts this tightly regulated system. It is recognized that hypercalcemia is normally associated with advanced disease and, unless antineoplastic treatments are available, is a poor prognostic sign. It is therefore important to consider the individual clinical situation before deciding on an appropriate management plan. Hypercalcemia results in hypovolemia, and the initial management should consist of rehydration. Following this, specific calcium-lowering treatment should be considered. Following rehydration, bisphosphonates have been the treatment of choice for the last 20 years and are effective in the initial treatment for the majority of cases. Unfortunately, it is common for hypercalcemia to relapse, and the best approach to treatment of recurrent and refractory hypercalcemia is not clear. Denosumab is an emerging option, and the initial evidence appears favorable. Further research regarding the use of denosumab for hypercalcemia of malignancy is warranted.

"Addicted to You" was the  entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002, performed in English by Laura Voutilainen as "Laura".

The song was one of three competing numbers in the Finnish national preliminary round for the Eurovision Song Contest 2002, with music written by Maki Kolehmainen of the band Aikakone. The lyrics for "Addicted to You" were written by Kolehmainen's frequent collaborator  alongside Janina Frostell, a model who was attempting a singing career: Frostell's album Impossible Love comprised songs she and Lipp co-wrote and "Addicted to You" was in fact written for Frostell's Impossible Love, her version being either never recorded and/or released once the potential of having a high-profile Finnish singer such as Laura Voutilainen make a Eurovision bid with the song was recognized.

"Addicted to You" is sung from the perspective of a woman telling her lover how she feels about him. She seems amazed at the depth of her own feelings, telling him "if you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you" and "every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside".

Finland had last participated in Eurovision at Eurovision 2000 where the eighteenth place showing of Nina Åström with "A Little Bit" had resulted in a one-year Eurovision relegation for Finland. The Finnish preliminary round for Eurovision 2002 was the first to feature no songs in Finnish: in an effort to ensure international favor at Eurovision 2002, eleven of the twelve competing songs in the national final were English-language numbers with the twelfth competing song having Italian lyrics.

"Addicted to You" easily won the national selection round for Eurovision 2002 receiving 46 points from the jury and 36% of the popular vote. The song was heavily promoted – reportedly more so than any previous Finnish Eurovision entrant – with Voutilainen showcasing her entry in several European countries, and expectations were high for its placing at Eurovision 2002 as exemplified by the contention by veteran Finnish singer Marion Rung – who had sung Finland's two highest scoring Eurovision entrants – that the final placing of "Addicted to You" at Eurovision 2002 would be higher than the sixth and seventh Eurovision placings earned by Rung with respectively "Tipi-tii" at Eurovision 1962 and "Tom Tom Tom" at Eurovision 1973 and that consequently "Addicted to You" would afford Finland a new Eurovision best.

Performing thirteenth on the night of the Eurovision 2002 final, following 's Afro-dite with "Never Let It Go" and preceding 's Malene with "Tell Me Who You Are", Voutilainen was dressed in the colours of the Finnish flag, in a blue top and white trousers. The vocal quartet who supported Voutilainen included , who had placed sixth in the Finnish national preliminary for Eurovision 2002 with "Make the Rain".

At the close of voting, "Addicted to You" had received 24 points, placing 20th in a field of 24, thus relegating Finland from the 2003 Contest, Finland's fifth time out of the contest. Pictures of a weeping Voutilainen accompanied the singer's post-contest interview, in which she opined: "Everybody thought that I should have won... I don't see what could [have been] done better... Can Finland ever win Eurovision if [it didn't when] everything went exactly as it should?"

While "Addicted to You" did not score high at the Eurovision final, among the contestants themselves it was voted the best song in the contest.  "Addicted to You" was also voted the best 2002 Eurovision entrant by the Eurovision Fanclub.

"Addicted to You" was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 2004 contest by Jari Sillanpää with "Takes 2 to Tango".

Ethiopia Agrees on First Deal for Privately Produced Electricity
by William Davison
July 29, 2015 — 4:26 AM EDT
Ethiopia's government agreed to purchase power in an accord signed on Monday during President Barack Obama's visit to the Horn of Africa nation.

Ethiopia's government signed a deal to buy electricity from a geothermal-power plant being developed by companies including Reykjavik Geothermal Ltd. of Iceland, a partner in the project said.
The state agreed to purchase power at 7.53 U.S. cents per kilowatt hour in an accord signed on Monday during President Barack Obama's visit to the Horn of Africa nation, said Edward Njoroge, chairman of the Corbetti Geothermal Power project. The signing, which follows talks backed by Obama's Power Africa initiative, paves the way for development of the facility, he said in an interview in the capital, Addis Ababa.
"It was a major milestone," said Njoroge, who represents Berkeley Energy, a Nairobi-based investor in renewable energy projects that's one of at least four partners in Corbetti. "The drilling rigs now will be mobilized and we should have them within the next three months in the country and start drilling for the steam."
Ethiopia is expanding electricity to supply an economy that grew at a faster pace than any other African country over the past decade. The government is using domestic resources and loans from partners including development banks and Chinese lenders to boost generating capacity from 2,300 megawatts. The Corbetti project in Ethiopia's central Oromia region is the first by private companies in Ethiopia, where industries like power and banking are dominated by the state.
'Tight' Agreement
Developing the first 20 megawatts of power output at Corbetti will cost $100 million, all of which will come from Reykjavik, Icelandic Drilling Co. and the African Renewable Energy Fund managed by Berkeley, Njoroge said. A total of $2 billion is required for generation of the full 500 megawatts, which is expected to be completed by about 2023, he said.
The tariff agreed with the government is "actually tight for us, but we think we can do it," Njoroge said. The cost of electricity from geothermal projects in Kenya, Africa's biggest producer of power from steam, is about 8.5 U.S. cents to 9 U.S. cents per kilowatt hour, he said.
U.S. advisers supported negotiations on the tariff via the Power Africa program, which seeks to boost access to electricity on the continent.
"This will help the government meet its ambitious goal of significantly increasing access to electricity across Ethiopia and help open the market to developing Ethiopia's other vast renewable-energy sources," Obama told reporters in Addis Ababa on Monday. Ethiopia has the potential to generate 45,000 megawatts of hydropower, which the World Bank ranks as Africa's second-largest after the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Ethiopia's 25-year energy strategy is to invest $100 billion to generate a total of 37,000 megawatts by 2037, according to the Foreign Ministry.

Portfolio Risk Analysis
Stress Test Your Portfolio
Tip: What's in a Name? If you fail to name a beneficiary on your IRA, it may be much more difficult for your beneficiaries to 'stretch' the inherited IRA over their lifetimes.
The Investment Company Institute reports that there is roughly $7.9 trillion in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA).1 To help put that in perspective, that's nearly half the annual gross domestic product of the U.S.2
If you have a traditional IRA, you may have the opportunity to stretch it out, meaning the account may be structured to extend its tax-deferred status across multiple generations.3
With a traditional IRA, the account holder must begin taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) by April 1 of the year after he or she turns 70½. These payments are based on the IRS' tables for life expectancy. To calculate an RMD, divide the account balance by the account holder's anticipated lifespan.
Let's assume, for example, a 73-year-old has an IRA with a balance of $250,000. According to the Internal Revenue Service's 2017 lifespan table, the person's life expectancy is 14.8 years, so the RMD is:
$250,000 ÷ 14.8 = $16,891.89
At that rate, it may take several years to deplete the account — in some cases, longer than the account owner is likely to be alive. So what are your options?
First, you can name your spouse as beneficiary of the traditional IRA, and he or she can roll the balance into a new account. If your spouse is over age 70½ when you die, he or she must begin taking RMDs based on his or her life expectancy. When your spouse dies, the second-generation beneficiary may transfer the balance into an inherited IRA. Then, the owner of the inherited IRA must begin taking RMDs based on his or her life expectancy. (See illustration.)
This gives the money in the inherited IRA a longer time to remain tax deferred. Keep in mind, however, that there is no guarantee that the person who inherited the IRA will continue the tax-deferred treatment of the account.
How About a Roth IRA?
Fast Fact: Inheritance. The IRS rules that allow a stretch IRA are the rules under which one inherits an IRA. This is why stretch IRAs are sometimes referred to as "inherited IRAs."
Stretching a Roth IRA follows similar rules to a traditional IRA. But remember, a Roth IRA does not require any RMDs. If you name your spouse as a beneficiary, he or she can roll the balance into a new Roth account. Since it remains a Roth IRA, your spouse is not required to take RMDs either. When your spouse passes, the beneficiary must begin taking distributions. The distributions will be tax free since it's a Roth IRA.4
Stretching an IRA can be a powerful strategy. But it's critical to understand the limitations and benefits before following the approach.
A single father, age 55, rolls over $250,000 from his employer's retirement plan into a traditional IRA and names his son, age 25, as beneficiary. At age 70½, the account owner starts taking RMDs.
When he dies at age 80, his son moves the assets into an inherited IRA and starts taking RMDs based on his life expectancy.
By the time it's exhausted, the IRA will have lasted 85 years and paid out over $2 million in benefits — all from a $250,000 rollover.
This is a hypothetical example used for illustrative purposes only. It is not representative of any specific investment or combination of investments. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Actual results will vary.
Investment Company Institute, 2017
CIA World Factbook, 2017
Contributions to a traditional IRA may be fully or partially deductible, depending on your individual circumstance. Distributions from traditional IRAs and most other employer–sponsored retirement plans are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty. Generally, once you reach age 70½, you must begin taking required minimum distributions.
To qualify for the tax-free and penalty-free withdrawal of earnings, Roth IRA distributions must meet a five-year holding requirement and occur after age 59½. Tax-free and penalty-free withdrawals also can be taken under certain other circumstances, such as a result of the owner's death. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the ability to "undo" a Roth conversion.
Roth 401(k) plans combine features of traditional 401(k) plans with those of a Roth IRA.

Micah, please!: "My few hours at the Arnold Classic" or "BEEFCAKE!"
"My few hours at the Arnold Classic" or "BEEFCAKE!"
A friend of mine won an entry for a drawing for a new Kia, as well as two tickets to the Arnold Classic held here in Cowtown. The convention center was packed with 'roided out men and women, booth babes, and normals. I swear, I've never been someplace where the "she's a man, baby" women to hot women ratio is 1:1. I only took pictures of the hot ones. Mmmm...body glitter. Booth babes, anyone?
Like I have a chance.
As we were leaving, the governor of Kali-forn-i-a showed up. I was close enough to hypothetically shake his hand and transmit a deadly virus. I really wanted to shout, "I love you, Gambler!" but I don't think anyone'd get the reference. That and I didn't want to be jumped by his security.
So, I came home with plenty of free crap: magazines, protein mixes, workout towel, power drink, lots of colored pills. Just for gits and shiggles, I should ingest all of the consumables at once and see what they do.
What the hell am I gonna do with this stuff?
All in all, it was a pretty fun morning. I received the aforementioned free junk, basked in the Governator's glow, witnessed some freaks of nature, and left sexually frustrated after being in such close proximity to all of the booth babes. Those with access to my Imagestation, the album's already up.
In Austria, ve are calling ze state Kully-for-nea.
Micah - So how much of the booth babes, percentage-wise, was real and how much was plastic? I wanna say they're hot, but I feel like I'm looking at blow-up dolls, not that there's anything wrong with that.
KPMD - Hmmm...probably mostly real...maybe...kinda. Today really reminded me of Vegas. Anyway, I'm not so shallow and superficial that I demand women to be 100% "real."
Boy, would I like to puncture one of them dolls. HAR HAR!
Did you eat all of the pills yet?
Not just yet. Don't want to be up all night. I think I'm going to do some internet research before I put any of those chemicals in my body.
I went out last night, so tonight's a stay-at-home boredom fest. I dragged out all these old VHS tapes from like 1987 and looked through them. Some of those commercials are classic!! Also, how on earth did we put up with the terrible picture quality of a tape? I keep checking to see if my contacts are in, because the picture is so bad.
Well, if you're bored, switch on over to AMC. It's right up your alley tonight.
Didn't you want to go up to at least ONE meathead and ask to see his teeny tiny testicles?
If you take that stuff you WILL be up all night! Even just the "vitamins".


A still white wine from the grape variety Aligoté, which, under our climates and soils gets a pleasant roundness. With floral flavours and a hint of mineral in the mouth, it pairs very well with fish and shellfish but also with charcuterie and cheese.
The Barry Blanc, with pale colours, will surprise you with its fineness and roundness.
Floral flavours let place of a hint of mineral in the mouth.
This still white wine came from our unique parcel of Aligoté. The grape is brought entire to the wine press and the juices are extracted by a soft pressing.
The alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature following by the malotactic fermentation.
The wine, once extracted, rests several months on its thin dregs before being bottled.

British Columbia lures big productions
Wednesday May 13th 2009
British Columbia, aka Hollywood North, had a great year in 2008. That's when the scenic northwest Canadian province garnered more than $2.1 billion in production coin, up almost 30% over 2007.
This year appears to be equally active: As of mid-April, 10 features were lensing in the region. Summit Entertainment's teen vampire follow-up "Twilight: New Moon" and Disney's "Tron 2.0" top the list of high-profile projects. Two miniseries and seven episodic dramas are also in production.
"We're the best value for a producer's dollar in these tough economic times," says B.C. film commish Susan Croome. "There's no uncertainty associated with production here."
The dollar-to-loonie exchange rate helps: Canada's currency is now 80¢ to the greenback.
Since 1978, when the B.C. government first moved to attract production via incentives and a proactive film commission, the region has become "steady and certain" as a production hub, augmented by "predictable and bankable tax credits," says Croome.
Now third in production days after L.A. and New York, B.C. gets 75% of its projects from the U.S. — and most of those are from Hollywood. The remaining 25% are typically Canadian or European-Canadian co-productions.
"For us, L.A. is the center of the universe," Croome says. B.C.'s lack of a time-zone difference with L.A., the relatively short flight time to LAX, the town's low-key vibe and showbiz savvy all help create a comfort zone for producers.
"They have great crews in abundance, ample vendors and stage space, helpful administration and a very efficient infrastructure," says Andi Isaacs, Summit's exec VP and head of physical production.
"New Moon" is now lensing in and around Vancouver. Isaacs says the combination of B.C. and national Canadian incentives, plus the favorable currency exchange rate, "enable us to … concentrate on putting the money on the screen."
Vancouver's varied locations — an urban core, misty rain forests, mountains — also influenced Summit's decision to shoot the first two installments of "The Twilight Saga" in B.C., as the pics are based on a series of tomes set in the Pacific Northwest.
Increasingly, producers are opting to stay in Vancouver for post-production as well. Post and vfx houses are expanding to meet those demands.
London's Moving Picture Co. (MPC) recently set up shop in Technicolor's Homer Street facility — an end result of its digital vfx work on "Watchmen" that included 250 shots for key sequences in Zack Snyder's vfx-laden pic.
"It's been great for client relationships and working practices," says Christian Roberton, MPC's managing director of film. Roberton aims to enlarge the facility from 55 to 100 artists' seats by the end of the year.
The 2010 Winter Olympics (Feb. 12-28) is the only dark spot on B.C.'s filming horizon because the event will temporarily reduce hotel-room inventory available for producers.
To earn the mega-sporting event, Vancouver hoteliers agreed to cede 75% of their rooms to the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the duration of the games. Plus, downtown locations will be effectively off-limits due to street closures and volumes of spectators.
During the Olympics, Croome predicts, "B.C. will definitely be open for business but not business as usual." Nevertheless, the event will bring other benefits, including an improved transit system that will whisk passengers in 25 minutes from the airport to downtown Vancouver and the trendy Yaletown district.

Veterans Day Town Meetings
Submitted by Jan Barry on November 5, 2009 - 22:36
A drumbeat of recent news reports has called attention to rising rates of suicide among soldiers, post-traumatic stress disorder among veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and hardships of military families facing multiple deployments to war zones. How communities can help address these often shattering effects of war is the focus of public forums in several cities on or around Veterans Day.
In Hoboken, NJ, the Nov. 11 event is being held at the high school under the sponsorship of Mayor Dawn Zimmer and the Board of Education. It features a showing of "Leave No Soldier," a documentary by Donna Bassin about veterans helping one another deal with troubling war legacies; a staged reading from a new play, "Flashback," by Penny Coleman, about the emotional turmoil in families of veterans who killed themselves; and a panel discussion of veterans and counselors with the audience.

Health Bills Debate
Submitted by Jan Barry on July 27, 2009 - 22:42
In a scathing critique of health care coverage by America's news media, the current issue of the Columbia Journalism Review contends that "this year's health-care debate sounds like the one in 1993." That debate produced the Clinton administration's proposed reforms that were politically dead on arrival.
"With few exceptions … the press has done little to challenge this reality or help to broaden the health-care debate," wrote Trudy Lieberman, a Columbia Journalism Review contributing editor who monitors this issue. "Rather, it has mostly passed along the pronouncements of politicians and the major stakeholders who have the most to lose from wholesale reform. By not challenging the status quo, the press has so far foreclosed a vibrant discussion of the full range of options, and also has not dug deeply into the few that are being discussed, thereby leaving citizens largely uninformed about an issue that will affect us all."

Tackling War Trauma
Submitted by Jan Barry on June 3, 2009 - 04:52
Promoted. -- GH
How to handle traumatic war events has famously ranged from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address—exhorting survivors of fratricidal, in some cases suicidal Civil War battles to "resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain"—to General Patton slapping a soldier hospitalized for psychoneurosis, a term used in World War II for what is now called post-traumatic stress disorder.
Now we have a general screaming at soldiers back from multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan that they better not dare commit suicide. "It's bad for soldiers, it's bad for families, bad for your units, bad for this division and our army and our country and it's got to stop now. Suicides on Fort Campbell have to stop now," Brigadier General Stephen Townsend recently told 101st Airborne Division paratroops, according to news reports. Townsend is the commander at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, which "has recorded the highest rate of suicide in the army, with at least 11 confirmed or suspected suicides," Agency France-Presse reported in May.
"Last year 128 soldiers took their lives, up from 115 in 2007, as tours of duty since 2001 have come ever more frequently and last longer. With 64 confirmed or suspected suicides so far this year, the army looks likely to surpass last year's record numbers," the AFP report added. Why so many soldiers are killing themselves should be no mystery to military leaders. "Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said he believes the suicides are tied to the repeated deployments that have put a strain on soldiers and their families." Mullen has ordered the military to "look at ways to relieve that stress."
But the macho posture of military culture hasn't changed much since Patton slapped a soldier and called him a coward. "In a 2008 poll by the American Psychological Association (APA), 61 percent of servicemen and women said that asking for help to treat psychological problems would have a negative impact on their career, and 53 percent said it would decrease their status among their peers," AFP noted.

Revive the Civilian Conservation Corps
Submitted by Jan Barry on May 18, 2009 - 16:37
Faced with millions of Americans out of work, including an army of roughly 154,000 homeless military veterans seeking shelter every night, President Obama and Congress should quickly revive one of the most successful government actions during the Great Depression. That action was creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which the Roosevelt administration convinced Congress to support within weeks of FDR taking office in 1933. Over the next several years, the CCC hired more than three million young men to plant three billion trees in over-logged forests, repair 40 million acres of soil-eroded farmlands and create 800 state parks, according to the US Forest Service web site.

Home for Veterans
Submitted by Jan Barry on May 9, 2009 - 15:27
Coming home for some war veterans means slipping off the track of chasing a fading American dream. Despite the yellow ribbons of support for the troops festooning patriotic front yards and backs of cars, there's an army of homeless former soldiers seeking shelter in cities and towns across this country. Compounding the shock of becoming homeless can be another bitter discovery: Few communities provide programs to help veterans who hit a rough patch get back on their feet. Consequently, an estimated 154,000 veterans are homeless on any given night, according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs.

Peacemaking Adventures Abroad
There are two very different sorts of Americans who venture abroad, as more than tourists or journalists, to so-called trouble spots. There are military people and "gold-mining" adventurers. And there are diplomats and teachers. In Vietnam, for instance, the US sent waves upon waves of troops and contractors to wage war for more than a decade in a military adventure that ended badly. A comparative trickle of Americans has gone to Vietnam since the war, often on their own initiative, to try to help undo the damage.

I feel wiped out. And it's not from the flu. It's from the financial news. Several people I know lost their families' life savings that were invested with Wall Street wizard Bernie Madoff. My bank, which has been on a buying spree of failing financial firms, was insured by AIG. Not long ago, the president of the United States—the one with a Harvard MBA degree—was urging Americans to switch from Social Security to private investment accounts. Yeah, sure. The only reliable income I have right now is a Social Security check.

Two decades ago, Phil Donahue played a major role in helping end the Cold War by introducing American and Soviet citizens to each other in historic international television talk shows watched by tens of millions of people. Fired by MSNBC in February 2003 for being too antiwar on the eve of war in Iraq, Donahue has continued conducting his peacemaking talks with much smaller audiences.
"We have to stop it now. We have to stand up," Donahue, 73, said at a recent community meeting in Teaneck, NJ attended by about 130 people. Donahue spent much of Friday evening with an overflow audience at a small art gallery in the Puffin Cultural Forum, as part of his grassroots campaign to show Americans his "riveting" (Fox News), "superb" (Time magazine), "heart-wrenching" (New York Times) documentary about a severely wounded, antiwar veteran of Iraq, titled Body of War. An award-winning documentary released in 2007, it was not widely shown in movie theaters, Donahue noted. His appearance and showing of the film were sponsored by the Bergen Peace and Justice Coalition and local chapters of Military Families Speak Out and Veterans for Peace as part of a week of actions marking the 6th anniversary of the war in Iraq.

Community Action on War Trauma
Submitted by Jan Barry on March 1, 2009 - 12:57
Originally posted Sun, 03/01/2009 - 00:57 - bumping - standingup
Many communities in the United States have a hidden problem, one that is in grave need of the American tradition of neighbors helping neighbors. The problem is the burden of memories that many young men and women bring home from a war, which can often become harder to deal with as time goes by.
Many veterans try to deal with war memories by trying to forget, by drinking or taking drugs. Some join veterans' groups that offer comradeship and service programs. Yet an increasing number of veterans and active duty soldiers have felt nothing eased their anguish and committed suicide. Most veterans find ways to cope with life after war. But too often, when a veteran realizes he or she has a problem and seeks assistance from government agencies, they run into a bureaucratic logjam. Family members and friends often feel they don't know where to turn to find a helpful program.
This is where community networking and community forums can play a vital role. Non-profit agencies may have counseling programs that are not widely known. Some advocacy groups have trained counselors to help navigate the mental health care system. Government agencies are trying to figure out how to do improved outreach to veterans, active duty troops and National Guard members.

New Military Mission
Submitted by Jan Barry on February 2, 2009 - 23:11
With a fresh breeze sweeping through the White House, now's the time for a new look at U.S. military operations overseas. In electing Barak Obama president, a majority of voters chose the "peace candidate" who pressed for winding down the war in Iraq. On the other hand, Obama also supported sending more troops to Afghanistan. Many close observers of the war in Central Asia are raising alarms about escalating military actions in a region of ancient feuds that are now flaming through nuclear-armed Pakistan.
"One lesson from Vietnam was that the United States should not go to war without broad public support. One lesson from Iraq might be that we should not go to war without a vigorous public debate in which an administration's claims are carefully examined and challenged," Ray Bonner, a veteran journalist in Asia, wrote in a recent New York Times review of two books about the Afghan war front. "Yet we are on the verge of significantly expanding the war in Afghanistan, which will inevitably affect Pakistan as well. Unfortunately, there has been little or no debate about President-elect Barack Obama's plan to send in more troops."

They didn't look the part of tough-as-nails military commanders—just another group of smiley faces in business suits clustered behind a president and politely clapping as he signed some documents. Yet a big page in the history of human rights was turned last week, when 16 retired generals and admirals flanked President Obama while he signed executive orders on his third day in office to close the US War on Terror detention camp in Guantanamo, Cuba; end the CIA's secret prison program overseas; "and requiring all interrogations to follow the noncoercive methods of the Army Field Manual," according to The New York Times, which ran a prominent photo of the troop of retired brass hats.

Poets are seldom put on the spot to speak on national television next to a popular president, as Elizabeth Alexander did on Tuesday, abruptly standing in front of a crowd of millions. Before I took poetry seriously, I once addressed a large crowd on the Mall in Washington protesting the war in Vietnam. I was so overwhelmed standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King Jr. famously spoke and facing a sea of expectant faces that I don't remember what I said.
Poetry helps us remember what's important. Alexander, a widely published poet, reminded us what was important about the path of Barack Obama's amazing journey from obscure community organizer to president of the United States.

Calls for national service boomed forth on 9/11's anniversary of the World Trade Center attack. It was a feel-good-America moment. But in no time, the Bush administration shoved aside that quaint notion of do-gooder volunteerism with a more urgent demand—that taxpayers dig deep to deal with a new disaster in lower Manhattan, the meltdown of Wall Street. I have a modest proposal. Why not address these twin disasters with the same solution: Let the stock market wheelers and dealers volunteer their services for free to fix the financial mess that was made on their watch.

Val-de-Marne (French pronunciation: [val.də.maʁn]) is a French department, named after the Marne River, located in the Île-de-France region. The department is situated to the southeast of the city of Paris.
Val-de-Marne is, together with Seine-Saint-Denis and Hauts-de-Seine, one of three small departments in Île-de-France that form a ring around Paris, known as the Petite Couronne (i.e. "inner ring").
Administration Edit
Val-de-Marne is made up of 3 departmental arrondissements and 47 communes:
Arrondissement of
Marolles-en-Brie </td>
Saint-Mandé </td> </tr> </table>
Val-de-Marne was created in January 1968, through the implementation of a law passed in July 1964. Positioned to the south-east of the Paris ring road (and the line of the old city walls), it was formed from the southern-eastern part of the (previously much larger) Seine department, together with a small portion taken from the broken-up department of Seine-et-Oise.
