Your information is safe and protected.The Census Bureau is required by law to protect any personal information and keep it strictly confidential. The Bureau can only use your information to produce statistics, it cannot be shared with any other entity or organization. In fact, every Census Bureau employee takes an oath to protect your personal information for life. Your answers cannot be used for immigration or law enforcement purposes or to determine your personal eligibility for government benefits. Census records are kept sealed for 72 years.
No. For the purposes of Census 2020 you will be counted in Fayetteville. College students should count themselves at the on- or off-campus residence where they live and sleep most of the time.
In 2020, the Census Bureau will devote three days to counting people who are experiencing homelessness across the country, with checks in place to ensure that people aren't counted more than once. These days follow months of outreach and coordination with local census offices, partners, shelter directors, service providers, and others:
The results of these efforts, across the country, are critical. Census data helps inform decisions about billions of dollars in federal funding for services such as shelters and soup kitchens, as well as for programs that assist with housing, nutrition, and transitioning from homelessness. From the Emergency Shelter Grants Program to the Special Milk Program for children, these programs depend on a complete and accurate count.
Forms are mailed to your residence in late March, 2020. The earlier you complete your census form, either online or by phone, the less likely it is that a census employee will come to your house asking for the information. The online census closes down in September, 2020.
No. Taxes and the census information are kept completely separate. The census counts the number of people residing in your household on APril 1, 2020, whether or not you claim them on your taxes.
No. Census information is not shared with any other government department or entity, and cannot be used against you in any way.
Ideally, your child should be counted in the household where he or she spends the majority of their time. If your child's time is divided 50/50 between two households, count him or her in the household where they will be sleeping the night of April 1, 2020.
The general rule is: Count children in the home where they live and sleep most of the time, even if their parents do not live there. If you are helping to take care of a friend's or family member's child, and the child does not have a permanent place to live, count the child if he or she is staying with you on April 1, 2020—even if it's only temporary.
Yes. Even if you've just had a baby, and your baby is still in the hospital on Census Day (April 1, 2020), then count your baby at the home where he or she will live and sleep most of the time.
If you have no permanent residence, you should be counted where you are living and sleeping on April 1, 2020. If you will be returning in a short while to a permanent residence elsewhere, you should use your permanent address.
The City requires taxicab, limousine, and non-motorized passenger companies to obtain a company permit approved by the City Council known as the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. Applicants must apply through the Police Department and be presented on application to the City Council. Once that certificate is approved by the City Council, additional permits are then required through the Police Department, and these vary depending on Certificate Type. You can contact the Police Department at 479-575-8355 to begin the permitting process.

This fee covers the spay or neuter, microchipping, rabies vaccination, booster shots, de-worming, and flea and tick treatment. We test our dogs for heartworms and our cats for feline leukemia. Considering everything that is included, our adoption fee is a great deal. Taking a "free" pet from a newspaper ad or friend can cost up to three times as much on basic health services at a veterinary clinic.
However, the services provided by Fayetteville Animal Services are in no way intended to be a substitution for regular professional veterinary care. Also, by adopting from our shelter, you not only save the life of that animal, you support our services so that we can continue to care for abandoned, stray, injured, and sick animals. For more information, contact Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
Care should be taken to avoid situations that place your pet in contact with wild animals. Because there is a possibility that any strange animal may not have been vaccinated, adults should caution children to use care when around strange and unknown animals. All dogs and cats in the State of Arkansas are required by law to be vaccinated against rabies. A veterinarian licensed by the State of Arkansas must administer this vaccination.It is important that your dog or cat receive a rabies vaccination. For more information, contact Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
This also gives you time to purchase the items you need such as collars, leashes, food, bowls, litter boxes, dog houses, and pet carriers. If a pet is already spayed or neutered, you may be able to take the animal home sooner. For more information, contact the Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
The standard definition of "no kill" is an annual euthanasia rate below 10%. Fayetteville Animal Services has met that benchmark since 2013.
Because we take in sick, behaviorally unsound and very old animals, we cannot place all of them in homes. If the animal is aggressive or has an illness/injury that will take major resources or constitutes a quality of life issue, we are committed to providing humane euthanasia. Those decisions are made by our staff Veterinarian. For more information, contact the Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
If you notice a deceased animal (wildlife or domestic) on any city street or sidewalk please contact us at 479-444-3456. We will place a service request for animal control to pick up the body as long as it is safe for the officer to do so. If the animal is on a state highway (such as Highway 265/Crossover Road) you will need to call the state highway department for pick up at 479-251-8418.
We are not able to treat owned animals that are ill or injured. If your pet becomes ill or injured, you should call your veterinarian or the one nearest to you. Local veterinarians' phone numbers are listed in the yellow pages of the phone book under the heading "Veterinarians". For after-hours emergencies, most veterinarians leave a message on their answering machine giving you a number to call to contact a veterinarian on emergency call. The Animal Emergency Clinic of Northwest Arkansas is located in Springdale and open from 6pm-7am. Their phone number is 479-927-0007.
Opportunities are available for volunteers at the shelter, in the office, and at special events. We need people to walk dogs, socialize cats, and generally spread awareness about what we do. You can also become a foster parent for us. Foster parents will bring animals into their homes to care for while trying to find a forever home for that animal. This gives us more space and you get to take an active part in our adoption process. We have new volunteer orientation every other Thursday at 5:30pm here at the shelter. Contact the Animal Services at 479-444-3456 to find out when the next meeting will be.
Financial donations may be earmarked to help fund our spay and neuter program or any other purpose you would prefer. For more information, contact Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
Any chip that is purchased from Animal Services will be registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) for you. Any change in address or phone numbers should be reported to Animal Services pursuant to Fayetteville city code chapter 92. The City of Fayetteville is not responsible for ensuring that your information is kept current.
Also, a microchip will prove that your pet is not a stray. If we have an animal that we know has an owner, we will hold onto the animal for five days longer than we do strays. You must register your pet's microchip with the City of Fayetteville. There is no fee to register the chip with the City, however there is a $20.00 fee for the service. You can bring your pet to the Shelter to be microchipped any time we are open.
You can download a microchip registration form by using the provided link, print it, and mail it to:

Approximately 1 in 3 pets will get lost at some point in their lives. Without wearing proper identification, 90% of them will not be returned. For more information, contact Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
Animals found running at large may be impounded which could result in impound fees and other fines. If you take your dog or cat for a walk, he/she must stay on leash the entire time. For more information, contact Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
Dogs that are chained are at risk of choking. Alternatives include purchasing or building a kennel run that is at least ten feet by ten feet per dog and crate training indoors. Trolley systems are a good alternative, but owners must be home while pets are utilizing the system. For more information, contact Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
Trolley systems allow your pet to exercise while in a contained area. However, trolley systems are to be used only when you are on the premises. For more information, contact Animal Services at 479-444-3456.
There are many different types of snakes that are native to the Fayetteville area and very few are venomous. Animal Control will respond 24-7 if you have a snake inside your residence. Just call Fayetteville Police Dispatch at 479-587-3555. Snakes seen outside should be left alone and will eventually go away. Here is some helpful information on snakes and other reptiles from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.

In the past, the backflow prevention ordinance had addressed commercial and industrial installations. In May of 2017 the City amended its local backflow ordinance to comply with the state plumbing code, which addresses all backflow preventers, including residential installations, as well as the requirement of annual testing and documentation of that testing. To ensure the high quality of our drinking water, the City of Fayetteville Water Department is initiating an automated tracking system and enforcement protocol of this amended requirement.
Backflow is the flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances, under positive or reduced pressure into the distribution pipes of a potable water supply from any source other than its intended source. Backflow is caused by either backsiphonage or backpressure. Backsiphonage occurs when a flow of used, contaminated, or polluted water from a plumbing fixture or vessel enters into the public water system, often due to negative pressure in a pipe. It is important to note that a drop in pressure is out of your control and can occur at any time. Backpressure occurs when the pressure is greater than the pressure in the potable water distribution system.
Cross Connection is any connection between the public water supply and a source of contamination or pollution. Examples of cross connections include a hose connection to a chemical solution, lawn irrigation systems, water softeners, hose connections, boilers, hot tubs and swimming pools.
The ordinary garden hose is used to create the most common form of cross connection. A hose can be easily connected to the drinking water supply and used for a variety of potentially dangerous applications.
A backflow prevention assembly is an approved, testable assembly that uses valves to prevent potential contaminants from flowing into the drinking water system. Two commonly required devices are the Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) and the Reduced Pressure Valve Assembly (RP). Both devices protect drinking water systems from backflow.
All commercial and industrial water customers are required to have backflow protection at the water service entrance and at actual or potential points of use where contaminants may be introduced. This includes all residential water customers having a lawn irrigation system or a water use identified by the City of Fayetteville as an actual or potential cross connection.
Annually. The State of Arkansas Plumbing Code requires all backflow prevention installations be inspected/tested once per year on a regularly scheduled basis.
It is the responsibility of the water customer to ensure that the backflow prevention assembly is in proper operating condition at all times.
Backflow preventers must be tested by an Arkansas State Licensed Assembly Backflow Testing Technician. Known as ATT- #
Backflow preventers must be repaired by an Arkansas State Licensed Assembly Backflow Repair Technician. Known as RT - # (In order to repair backflow preventers a technician must hold both licenses: Testing and Repair.)
Our new online system allows the tester to enter the test results into the City of Fayetteville Water Department's compliance records using a TRAC# (Tester Remote Access Code #). The TRAC# gives testers information about the assembly(s) at a location -- such as size, make, model and serial number -- to simplify data input and maintain data integrity. It does not identify the water customer's name or provide the customer's contact information.
The cost of having a device tested varies among testers. The cost is also dependent on several factors, including the size of the device, where the device is located, the type of device, etc. You may want to call several Certified Testers to obtain quotes for your test.
Any backflow preventer that fails during a periodic test shall be immediately repaired or replaced within 10 days. When repairs are necessary, the backflow preventer will need to be re-tested upon completion of the repair.
Failure to conduct the yearly test will result in the discontinuation of water service.
Contact the City of Fayetteville's Backflow Prevention Department at 479-575-8386 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

If you are filing a Small Claims action, you are called the plaintiff. If you have been sued, you are called the defendant. To start an action, you must fill out a Complaint Form, which you can acquire at the District Court. This form explains whom you are suing, for how much money, and why you are claiming the money. You must bring the completed form to the Court Clerk's office or fill it out while at the Court. The form must include the defendant's complete address, the amount you are seeking, and a brief statement of why the amount is owed. The defendant will be sent a copy of your complaint by certified mail, unless you request service by the Sheriff's Office or private process server. It is your responsibility to provide the Court with a good address with which to obtain service.
The length of time you have to file depends upon the type of claim you are bringing. If a written agreement has been broken or breached, you have five years after the date it was broken to file your claim. If your claim pertains to a verbal agreement or contract, rent, or injury to goods, then you have three years to file your claim.
If an answer is not filed within 30 days, your case is eligible for a default judgment. A default hearing will be held, and at that time, the Judge will enter the judgment in your favor, as long as you have the necessary proof to submit your claim. If for any reason service is not made upon the defendant, please contact the clerk's office for alternative service. The defendant must then be served within 120 days or your case may be dismissed.
If you are the plaintiff, you should collect any papers, documents, or pictures which relate to the case, and bring them with you when you go to trial. Bring receipts, bills and estimates to show the Judge to help you prove your claim. The Court will issue a subpoena to require the attendance of anyone you want to call as a witness. As the clerk for the fees for this. If you are the defendant, you should follow the above procedure for the plaintiff. If you do not wish to contest the plaintiff's claim, you may settle with the plaintiff before your trial date and have the plaintiff dismiss the action so that no judgment may be awarded by default. You may answer the claim by denying that you owe the money, and you may file an Answer and Counterclaim form if you feel that the plaintiff may owe you money. Your Answer and Counterclaim form must be filed with the court within 30 days of service.

Foot-Meter Conversion Factors:
Both values• 0.304 800 609 6012and• 0.3048are correct factors that can be used for converting feet to meters.
How is it possible to have two values for the same conversion? To gain an understanding of how this is possible, and why it is allowed to continue, it is necessary to take a brief look at the history of the metric system within the United States.
The metric system was developed during the French Revolution in the late 1700's. It was first promoted in the United States by Thomas Jefferson and in 1866 the US Congress officially recognized the metric system as a legal system of units. In 1893, the Office of Weights and Measures (now the National Bureau of Standards), fixed the value of the U.S. "yard" in terms of the meter as follows:• 1 yard = 3600/3937 meter or 1 yard = 0.914 401 8288 meterthis relation is equivalent to:• 1 foot = 12/39.37 meter or 1 foot = 0.304 800 609 6012 meter
Unfortunately, other nations used a slightly different conversion factor. To solve this deviation, a refinement was made in the definition of the yard to bring the US yard and the yard used in other countries into agreement. In 1959 the national standards laboratories of the English-speaking nations agreed to standardize the relation between the yard and the meter as follows:
• 1 yard = 0.9144 meter• 1 foot = 0.3048 meter• 1 inch = 25.4 millimeter
The new length of yard is shorter by exactly two parts in a million.
At the same time it was decided that any data in feet derived from and published as a result of geodetic surveys within the U.S. would remain with the old standards (1 foot = 12/39.37 meter) pending any further decisions. This foot measurement is called the U.S. Survey foot.
This then, is how we came to have two values for foot-meter conversions. One value, (1 foot = 12/39.37 meter), should be used when converting a measurement that is based on geodetic surveys. The other value, (1 foot = 0.3048 meter), should be used for any other conversions that are not related to geodetic data. Whichever value is used, it should be used consistently throughout that project.

Fayetteville's Pay As You Throw (PAYT) Residential Trash Program means just that, the more trash you throw out on a weekly basis the more money it will cost you. Each residence has a choice of 3 sizes for their trash cart; 32, 64, and 96 gallon sizes are available. Each size has a different rate assigned to it, for example, the 32 gallon cart is $9.68 per month, the 64 gallon cart is $14.78 per month, and the 96 gallon cart is $20.98 per month. It is important to know that each residence should get the size cart that is designed to handle the weekly volumes of trash from that household. The 32 gallon is for 1 bag of trash or less, the 64 is for up to 2 bags of trash, and the 96 gallon is for up to 3 bags of trash. Overfilling carts is not recommended and will cost $6.40 for each extra bag visible above the rim of the cart. Please make sure the cart lid is closed completely to avoid a $6.40 per each extra bag charge. The PAYT program is highly recommended by the EPA as a means to reduce waste and provide a fairer system for those who reduce and recycle. Anybody can reduce the waste they produce by fully using the recycling program and avoiding wasteful practices. You can make a difference!
Each residence receives 4 virtual stickers each year for extra trash occasions. These virtual stickers are allotted to your water account and are not physical stickers as in years past. All past physical stickers will expire and not be valid for use after December 31st, 2014. Virtual stickers will roll over if unused for a period of 3 years; this is subject to change. Trash bags set at the curb outside of the carts will be collected and a $6.40 charge will be added if the 4 virtual stickers are already accounted for through the water bill.
Hard surface trails are featured at Gulley Park (1.15 miles), Gordon Long Park (0.60 miles), Walker Park (1.38 miles), Bryce Davis Park (0.19 miles) Red Oak Park (0.20 miles), Dale Clark Park (0.60 miles), and Wilson Park (0.90 miles).

Remember we told you about Tramlines Festival, that free Dot To Dot-esque shindig going down in Sheffield from July 24th-26th? No? Well, we did, and now DiS has exciting news of the first wave of bands confirmed for the bash along our 'circuit' of venues, which we're programming with the fine folk at Adventures In The Beetroot Field.
These acts will be spread across various inner-city watering holes (including The Harley, Bungalows And Bears, The Shakespeare and The Stockroom) over the course of the weekend - expect a full running order soon, but this little list should be enough to whet the appetite:
- Banjo Or Freakout
- Chips For The Poor
- Crocodiles
- Errors
- Invasion
- I Monster (DJ)
- Johnny Foreigner
- Kasms
- Kid Acne
- Man Like Me
- Maps
- Munch Munch
- Navvy
- Rolo Tomassi
- Rotary Ten
- Slow Club
- The XX
All those acts - and many more still to come - for the bargain price of nothing. Excited? We are. Remember, our circuit is only one small part of the festival, and you'll find more information about what else is going on (including sets from the likes of the La's, Little Boots and Reverend & The Makers) over at the Tramlines website. It's going to be quite a weekend!
If you're in the area and looking for a live fix before then, remember we've got the rather excellent, recent-Grizzly Bear-supporting - Here We Go Magic playing for us at The Harley next Wednesday (July 8th). Do check them out if you haven't already. More information can be found on Last.fm and Facebook.

Growing International Support Together
With your help we can work to ensure that every community around the world has access to free diagnosis, helpful information and local support.
IPWSO provides information, guidance and support to enable better access to diagnosis, care and treatment wherever you are in the world.
What is PWS?
Prader-Willi syndrome is a multi-faceted and genetically-determined syndrome. The two main genetic causes and other rarer cause of PWS, all involving chromosome 15, give rise to a pattern of atypical early development. This is characterised by extreme floppiness and failure to thrive at birth with the subsequent emergence of severe over-eating and the risk of severe obesity if access to food is not controlled. There may also be other difficult behaviours, the presence of learning disabilities, hormonal deficiencies and specific physical characteristics. With knowledge and careful management and support the person with PWS can live a happy and well-adjusted life within the parameters of the syndrome.
Want to get involved?
Here at IPWSO we are working to ensure that people with Prader-Willi syndrome and their families have access to information, treatment and quality services and are integrated into their communities around the world. If you need support of any kind, would like your association to become a member, attend a conference or would like any further information please contact us.

Mine was delivered today... (UK)Can't find a list anywhere of recommended/compatible SD etc cards...Anyone here found one yet?
Nice to see tapers are liking the zoom products! I've only glanced at the F8 and F4 but they look appealing. For awhile I've had the zoom r16, which I don't use enough, so I know they've worked on on these recorders.
Still 'absorbing' the F4... I don't find the manual very user-friendly... seems to discuss part of what I consider a topic then go off somewhere else and then resume... Maybe I'm just getting old...
Curtis Judd has another one up:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp6R5h8F4tU
Hello tapers and tapets.I just got my Zoom F4 and I am having some trouble figuring something out:The manual and even the side of the deck show "TRS" for line level input. BUT, i am using a "TRS to XLR" and the levels are super low. I then changed the cable to "TS" ends and its at a normal level.Does anyone know need to if I have to use a "TRS to XLR cable" or a "TS to XLR cable"?

EXETER — As people age, simple tasks become difficult; doors become tough to grasp, stairs become tough to climb and dim lights become tough to see by.
EXETER — As people age, simple tasks become difficult; doors become tough to grasp, stairs become tough to climb and dim lights become tough to see by.
That's where Accommodating Spaces comes in. This new business specializes in recommending modifications to make homes safer and more accessible places to age in.
"It's kind of exciting for the clients because they can go simple with simple needs or do as much as they want to make a house accessible," said co-owner Heidi Stevens.
Stevens and Maribeth Dever, both physical therapists, opened the business this April after becoming Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists through the National Association of Home Builders.
When Stevens and Dever begin working with a client, they first learn about that client's needs and goals and take observations, measurements and photographs of their home. They then write a report detailing modifications that could be made to make the home more accessible and review this report with the client.
As proof of the relevance of this business, the two pointed to an American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) study stating that over 80 percent of people would prefer to stay in their homes rather than move into an assisted living facility even when they need assistance.
Besides a desire to remain in a familiar place, one compelling reason to age in place is the high cost of assisted living. According to the AARP, the cost of a semi-private room in a N.H. nursing home or long-term care facility for 2013 will be more than $94,000.
Accommodating Spaces works with a range of clients including those with no urgent needs who simply wish to plan ahead, those with anticipated needs perhaps from a strong family history or a recent diagnosis, and those with urgent needs caused by a sudden change in mobility.
The business touts universal design, or design that is the most accessible for most people.
Modifications the pair often suggests include moving the master bedroom and bathroom to the bottom floor, installing showers that don't require a difficult step, using a mailbox that chimes in the house when the mail arrives to eliminate trips outdoors, adding railings, and using door levers instead of knobs. For people with Parkinson's disease, a floor with patterns or markings can help overcome starting and stopping problems.
"Everybody thinks of a grab bar being this hideous stainless steel thing on the wall, but some companies are making beautiful grab bars now," said Dever. "Your house doesn't have to look like a facility."
According to Dever, this business requires honest conversations with clients — for example, if their doctor gave a client a walker, asking if they actually use it. The two have also built relationships with contractors, vendors and home care specialists in order to connect with clients and give clients recommendations of where to go to make these home modifications.
Accommodating Spaces charges $100 for each hour of work with a three-hour minimum.
"When you compare it with the cost of being in assisted living or being in the nursing home, it is some money out, but in the long term it's often worth it," said Stevens.
According to Stevens, the pair doesn't know of any similar business in the area, but it's a growing trend in other regions of the country. However, it's at least as relevant here as in other areas; 2010 census data put N.H.'s median age at the fourth highest in the nation.
"Everybody's been talking about this need for care, but it's exciting to actually be able to offer it," said Stevens.
The pair keeps a blog and said the next post will suggest holiday presents for parents who say they don't want anything. They suggested gifts that will keep them safer, whether it's bringing a ladder to do necessary upkeep around the house once a month or paying to swap doorknobs for door levers.
While Accommodating Spaces does give advice to make houses safer as clients age, said owners, they realize the decision to stay at home or move into assisted living is personal and leave that decision to the client.

OTTAWA - Political gadflies and jurisprudence junkies, grab the popcorn and pull up a chair: Prime Minister Stephen Harper will soon have yet another Quebec vacancy to fill on the Supreme Court of Canada.
Word of Justice Louis LeBel's imminent retirement came Friday just as the Globe and Mail published a surprising report detailing what it said were the facts behind Harper's disastrous bid last year to name Marc Nadon to the high court.
LeBel, who spent 15 years on the Quebec Court of Appeal before joining the ranks of the Supreme Court in January 2000, served notice he plans to retire on Nov. 30, when he turns 75.
"It has been a privilege to contribute to the administration of justice in Canada and to the development of our laws," LeBel said in a statement. When he retires, he will have served as a judge for 30 years, he noted.
"I have been fortunate to share my duties with colleagues whom I deeply appreciate and respect."
In her own statement, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin said LeBel served the court with great distinction.
"He is a jurist of immense gifts and wisdom, and is a pillar of the court," she said. "He is deeply loved and respected by his colleagues and he will be dearly missed."
Harper's office issued a familiar-sounding, if heartfelt, statement thanking LeBel for his service, promising that his "exemplary dedication to the law and his distinguished service to Canada will be long remembered."
The last sentence, however, seemed to carry more weight than usual: "Plans to fill the resulting vacancy on the Supreme Court of Canada will be announced in due course."
Those plans will comprise what is likely to be one of the most closely watched Supreme Court appointments in recent memory.
The court, which normally consists of nine members, has been short a justice for some nine months, most notably among the three seats that are reserved by the Constitution for jurists from Quebec.
Nadon, a semi-retired Federal Court judge, was deemed ineligible by the very court Harper sought to have him join, ruling in March that he didn't meet the specific criteria for Quebec judges as spelled out in the Supreme Court Act.
Since then, the behind-the-scenes machinations of the appointment process have slowly risen to the surface, exposing an unprecedented — and now very public — spat between McLachlin and the Prime Minister's Office.
Earlier this month, the Conservatives publicly questioned McLachlin's actions, suggesting she inappropriately tried to make contact with Harper to discuss potential legal problems with Nadon's appointment.
But it wasn't just Nadon that prompted McLachlin to contact the government, but a shortlist of candidates that included no fewer than four Federal Court judges, even though it was far from clear whether such candidates would be eligible, the Globe and Mail reported Friday.
As part of the selection process, the government stacked the deck with Federal Court candidates in hopes of nominating a more conservative judge than it believed was otherwise available in Quebec, the report suggests.
On the day Nadon was rejected, Harper himself offered a hint of that preference, saying, "The reality is the Supreme Court has decided that a Quebec judge at the Federal Court is a second-class judge."

It's 10/10. Do you know where your Congress is? The Senate isn't in session this week, and the House is scheduled to be out next week. Only 28 days when both chambers are in session are left in 2017 — no, really — and, as Steve Bell and Jack Rametta of the Bipartisan Policy Center point out today, Congress still has a lengthy to-do list for the year.
The "must pass" items include:
- A budget for fiscal year 2018
- Fiscal 2018 appropriations
- Fiscal 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (the House and Senate have both passed versions, but the different bills need to be reconciled so the president can sign the compromise deal.)
- Reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program
- Reauthorize the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program
- Extend various provisions for Medicare and other programs
- Supplementary appropriations
- Extend the federal debt limit, again.
Then there are the political priorities that Republicans (and Democrats) want to tackle:
- Tax reform
- Health care reform
- A relief package for Puerto Rico
- A DACA fix
- An infrastructure package
That's quite a list. Can Congress handle it? "With much to do, it seems likely that Congress may take an omnibus approach to this logjam, as it has in the past — bundling together as many items as possible into a package that would be difficult to vote against," Rametta suggests. "Given the restraints of time, it seems unlikely that Republicans will be able to execute more than one item on their priority list, and even that could be a tall order."

The Philadelphia Spiders?
The Phillies, who have brought new meaning to the phrase "home away from home," are in St. Petersburg tonight, giving us time to contemplate the insanity of a divisional leader having lost 22 of its first 35 games in its own park. For the record, in the NL East only the Mets are at .500 or better at home, and that 13-22 mark for the Phils compares unfavorably to Washington's 12-23 home start.
9 Comments
From Trenton (NJ) to Lancaster (PA and featured on Countdown) to Newark (DE) the papers are moaning the inaction of the PHillies. Say it ain't so is heard throughout the Tri-State area, a phrase usually heard only in Delaware and usually about VP Biden.
That said, I am a Yankee Fan and currently have nothing to brag about.
Since we're talking about emails I'm sending you this one to ask you if you've ever heard the song "Time" by Chris Cornell.
Ok, I'll ask it – when are you going to write a baseball history book?
@The Troll: Consider yourself reported for abuse.
On topic: Somehow, I'm not surprised that a team called the Spiders wasn't successful. The choice of that name, alone, indicates that somebody upstairs was making some really bad decisions. Reading that team's dismal history reminded me of the fictitious soccer team in Michael Palin's "Ripping Yarns" (the "Golden Gordon" episode), LOL.
"@The Troll: Consider yourself reported for abuse."
Sad to say, what the Robson brothers did wasn't all that strange at the time. Didn't the National League shift several star players from the Baltimore Orioles to the Brooklyn club in 1899 under manager Ned Hanlon, who had managed the great Orioles teams of the 1890s?
One of the craziest ones I read about was when Cardinals owner Sam Breadon ordered Branch Rickey to trade Rogers Hornsby after the 1926 season, when Hornsby had played and managed the Cardinals to the world championship. Rickey sent him to the Giants for Frankie Frisch, which worked out fine for both teams. But Hornsby owned a significant share of Cardinals stock, and if I remember correctly, the league had to chip in to buy him out because Breadon wanted to pay the original price rather than full value. In the meantime, a Cardinals part-owner played for the Giants!
All of which, from the Spiders to the present, is why I honor Edward Bennett Williams, who owned the Orioles and the Redskins, for saying that the dumbest football owner is smarter than the smartest baseball owner.
The story of this team resides in "MISFITS! Baseball's Worst Ever Team" by J. Thomas Hetrick, Pocol Press, 1999.

Here is President Obama flashing the Vulcan salute during a visit from Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's Lieutenant Uhura. She went to the Oval Office back in February but didn't tweet out the photo until today. This must have been a dream come true for the president, who is an admitted fan of Star Trek and confessed to Nichols that he had a crush on her character when he was a child. If it wasn't already clear, this photo officially puts Obama on the nerd side of the great Nerd vs. Jocks debate.

This was published 7 years ago
Twitter's new video-sharing service has quickly become a haven for porn, with adult content briefly appearing in an "Editor's Picks" section of the app.
Twitter apologised for the mistake, blaming "human error" and quickly removed the video. The company said those types of videos violate the app's guidelines and are removed, and users who post porn can also be banned from using the app.
"Videos that have been reported as inappropriate have a warning message that a viewer must click through before viewing the video," said a Twitter spokeswoman.
The social network last week launched Vine, a service that lets people share video snippets from iPhones and iPod touch devices. Perpetually looping video clips up to six seconds each can be shared using Vine or easily embedded in tweets.
A free Vine application became available worldwide at Apple's App Store on Thursday. Reports soon surfaced of pornographic videos being found at Vine by people searching for such content.
Eyes were on Apple, which has a history of booting apps that serve up adult content from the App Store.
Despite the videos, the app has been allowed to remain in the App Store. Critics are accusing Apple of having a double standard, since it has banned other apps with adult content.
Apple allows apps from such big-name social platforms as Twitter, Vine, Tumblr and Pinterest to remain in its App Store even though they contain adult content. Yet it has knocked off other lesser-known sites from its store because of "pornographic images and material". Most recently, an app called 500px suffered that fate.
Critics say Apple should have a clearer policy that is enforced uniformly. Apple could not be reached for comment.
Twitter bought Vine, a start-up based in New York, in October, prompting talk the messaging service intended to do for smartphone video what Instagram did for photos.
In December, Twitter added Instagram-style smartphone photo sharing features after the Facebook-owned service made it impossible for users to integrate its images into tweets.
Previously, Instagram pictures shared in messages tweeted from smartphones could be viewed unaltered at Twitter.
Facebook promptly blocked Vine users from being able to find friends at the world's leading social network, "clarifying" its platform policy in response to inquiries about the move.
Platform operations director Justin Osofsky said in a blog post that apps aren't allowed to use the friend-finding feature if they "replicate our functionality or bootstrap their growth in a way that creates little value for people on Facebook".
Osofsky did not directly refer to Vine or how the rule was applied to the service.

Credit card security is evolving but not fast enough
As any U.S. traveler who has ordered steak tartare on the Champs Elysee in Paris knows, paying with a credit card abroad is often very different than it is here.
Instead of handing off a card to a waiter, who vanishes with it, the Parisian waiter brings a tech gadget to the table. The diner sticks the card in a slot, taps in a numerical code and claims one of the two receipts the machine spits out. The server gets the other.
This slot-and-code mambo is how consumers pay for retail purchases and so on all around the globe - but not in the United States. The U.S. is a laggard, with old-hat swiping of 1980s-era magnetic stripe technology and signature scrawling.
That is about to change, big time.
Merchants in this country are scrambling to deploy so-called "chip-and-PIN" payment technology - spurred in part by recent massive data-security breaches at Target stores and other retailers that have compromised consumer financial information.
Not everyone believes this is the answer to this problem, however.
That chip-and-PIN moniker came up repeatedly Tuesday during a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about those breaches.
Senators, including Minnesota's Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar, grilled witnesses who included a Target executive. The Target breach from Nov. 27 to Dec. 18 compromised the credit-card information of an estimated 40 million customers.
Target, which had already committed to deploying chip-and-PIN technology, said Tuesday that it has moved up installation of new card-processing hardware, to be completed by late this year. Customers should get compatible cards by the first half of 2015, Target's chief financial officer, John Mulligan, told the Senate committee.
Chip-and-PIN is expected to be widespread, if not ubiquitous, in the U.S. by 2015.
The "chip" part of the moniker refers to a computer chip embedded in the card and containing a card user's personal information. The chip replaces the magnetic stripe.
The "PIN" part refers to the personal identification number used to consummate transactions via this next-generation payment system.
Chip-and-PIN technology is not new. In fact, variations of it have been around for decades.
The best-known version of this technology, EMV, has been around since early this decade. EMV is short for Europay, MasterCard and Visa, in a reference to the organizations that champion it.
EMV is more secure, according to its proponents, because that embedded chip is more difficult to compromise or replicate than information stored on magnetic stripes. That PIN adds another layer of security, since a person stealing a card does not know the PIN code associated with it.
Thus the mass production of counterfeit cards containing stolen numbers becomes several orders of magnitude more difficult, said Mike Keresman, chief executive of CardinalCommerce Corp.
"You don't eliminate fraud, but you make it so bloody expensive that it's not worth it," Keresman said.
But EMV has critics who argue the already aging system is not the technology required to render financial systems impervious to attack.
The technology, though more secure than the version being used in the United States, is vastly less secure than modern payment-processing technologies that retailers and others should be considering, said Ryan Carlson, who is the technology evangelist at the Nerdery in Minneapolis, and has a decade of familiarity with payment-processing systems.
"EMV is a straw man," Carlson said. "Adding EMV is only building a false sense of confidence for end users."
As Carlson and others have noted, the Target security breach largely occurred at a server level within Target, which means EMV in all likelihood would have made little difference.
Since EVM "is nothing new," Carlson added, "criminals have had the last decade" to scrutinize its vulnerabilities.
Then there's the cost, he said.
Deploying EMV in any country is a gargantuan undertaking with a stratospheric price tag, which is one of the reasons U.S. companies have been slow to put it in place. Deployments elsewhere in the world have been bumpy, with many delays, Carlson noted.
For this reason, he doubts EMV will be ubiquitous by 2015 as has been promised. "I predict the soonest we would have any level of compliance is 2020," he said.
And that mainly means large firms with the deep pockets required to undertake such a daunting migration. Many small companies won't be able to afford it, which in itself represents a security risk since criminals would turn their attention to such insecure mom-and-pop enterprises, Carlson noted.
"By forcing everyone to invest in such an old technology, we are crippling ourselves into making an investment" in the wrong technology, he believes.
So if not EMV, then what? That is yet another problem, he said.
"There are dozens of secure payment methods, but no clear winner," Carlson added. "But when the dust settles and we actually have a better, more secure and convenient way of paying, EMV equipment will be gathering dust in a corner."
EMV proponents and critics tend to agree on one thing: The technology has no bearing on online or "card not present" purchases such as on Amazon.com - so alternate security technologies are required in that arena.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The home of Brooklyn's most famous cheesecake is up for sale.
The owners of Junior's Restaurant have put the property at the corner of Flatbush and DeKalb avenues on the market.
The chairman of the firm handling the listing says the site would be suited to condominiums with a retail base. The property was officially listed Thursday.
Bob Knakal, of Massey Knakal, says part of any deal would be Junior's returning to the site, perhaps as a long-term lease in the retail space.
He says that Junior's would relocate to an alternate site in Brooklyn during any construction.
Junior's is a family-owned business now in its third generation and opened its Brooklyn site in 1950.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Eastman Kodak Co. says it's ending in-house production of one of the key components of camera film and cutting 61 jobs.
The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports (http://on.rocne.ws/11cAOIs ) that Kodak plans to shut down its acetate base manufacturing operations next week. Light-sensitive chemicals are spread on the acetate base for photographic film.
Kodak spokesman Christopher Veronda told the newspaper the company has an inventory of acetate base that's expected to last years, and is looking at options for external supply beyond that.
Because of the discontinued acetate base work, Kodak filed a notice with the state Labor Department earlier this month indicating it would be laying off 61 workers by the end of August.

UK told to add break-up threat to bank reform
Britain needs to introduce legislation that could break up banks if standards slip because current reform proposals fall short of what is needed, an influential panel of lawmakers said.
The Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards also said on Friday the government could set tougher rules for how much leverage banks were allowed, adding that the committee itself would consider whether to propose banning proprietary trading.
Britain, going further than most countries in pushing through change, is forcing banks to separate, or "ring-fence", their domestic retail arms from riskier investment banking.
"The proposals, as they stand, fall well short of what is required. Over time, the ring-fence will be tested and challenged by the banks," PCBS chairman Andrew Tyrie said.
"That is why we recommend electrification. The legislation needs to set out a reserve power for separation; the regulator needs to know he can use it."
The Treasury said finance minister George Osborne will consider the proposals and respond when reforms are brought to Parliament early next year.
Osborne appears unlikely to go as far as the PCBS wants. A previous Commission, led by John Vickers, said a full break-up of banks was not needed, and Osborne may decide that if the ring-fence plan proved to be flawed, the Treasury could then introduce fresh legislation to strengthen it.
Britain wants to prevent a repeat of the need for taxpayers to bail out lenders, as happened in 2008 with a 65 billion pound ($106 billion) double rescue of Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L).
The PCBS, asked to assess government plans before their introduction, said legislation should be introduced now because banks had to be discouraged from gaming the new rules for the ring-fence to succeed.
"All history tells us they will do this unless incentivized not to," Tyrie said, adding politicians could be lobbied to put holes in the ring-fence too.
"Additional powers are essential to provide adequate incentives for the banks to comply not just with the rules of the ring-fence, but also with their spirit," the Commission said in its 146-page report.
Bank shares fell up to 2.5 percent, underperforming a 1.1 percent lower European bank index .SX7P.
"I would be concerned … that a future, politically-motivated government or regulator could take draconian action with impunity. It would be putting in place a simple mechanism for banks to be picked on and to be broken up," Investec Securities analyst Ian Gordon said.
"One could argue that threat is there anyway and could be implemented," he said, adding the PCBS had added to uncertainty about reforms.
The threat of break-up would be most damaging to Barclays (BARC.L) – whose shares fell 2.5 percent – and to a lesser degree to HSBC (HSBA.L) and RBS, analysts said.
In a concession to most banks, the PCBS said banks should be allowed to sell simple derivatives within their ring-fenced operation, which had been a point of contention.
The PCBS was set up after Barclays was fined for rigging global interest rates and banks were slammed for a series of mis-selling scandals.
Tyrie said the market rigging and corruption shown this week at Swiss bank UBS (UBSN.VX) "beggar belief. It is the clearest illustration yet that a great deal more needs to be done to restore standards in banking."
Among plans to rein in risk-taking is a cap on leverage, which Britain plans to set at 33 times banks' capital – weaker than an original proposal for a maximum of 25 times.
The PCBS said it was "not persuaded by the government's relaxation" of that leverage rule, adding the future regulator, the Financial Policy Committee, should set the leverage cap.
Tyrie said it may also be appropriate for Britain to block banks from any proprietary trading – known as the Volcker Rule in the United States – and the PCBS will take evidence on that early next year.
The cross-party commission, which includes Justin Welby, the next Archbishop of Canterbury – the Church of England's most senior bishop – has spent the past three months deliberating the reform plans, taking evidence from the bosses of major banks as well as regulators, politicians and central bankers.
It said it was concerned too many reforms will be left to the discretion of the future regulator, and said the power to force bondholders to take losses when a bank hits trouble should be included in primary legislation.

well maybe its better that each player when start to play get notification in game log, who remind hem who its target, and that with kill someon other will lost a game,offcourse these will be hidden like in fog games,and only player who its in turn to play can se hes own message.
2010-11-27 17:20:31 - Incrementing game to round 3
2010-11-27 21:44:52-notification: yours target are green, killing other opponet will cause imediatly defeat and end of game
2010-11-27 21:44:52 - callmefrank received 3 troops for 4 regions
these only can see in these example callmefrank, and all other players can only see
-----------------------------2010-11-27 21:44:52-notification: yours target are ?, killing other opponet will cause imediatly defeat and end of game
its enough that in first turn each player get these notification to understand what hes playing, and if again someon kill wrong target,then you play with not so smart people. then you need to avoide playing with these players.
Why its need?
Well these probably will not eliminate mistakes what new player made in assasin games ,when eliminate wrong players(target), but these will definitly alot reduce these mistake,and help to new player to understand what assasing games mean.

2013 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Reviews
2013 MAZDASPEED3 New Car Test Drive
The 2012 Mazda 3 takes a leadership role in automotive engineering with what Mazda is calling SkyActiv technology, 'an engineering philosophy that starts with a blank slate and open mind.'
The big change for 2012 is the introduction of a new 2.0-liter engine that gets Mazda's SkyActiv treatment, delivering a terrific 28 miles per gallon in the city, 40 mpg on the highway. In fact, during one good run with that engine, we got 43.7 mpg. The SkyActiv engine runs on Regular gasoline.
The 2012 Mazda3 lineup features two new SkyActiv transmissions to go with the SkyActiv engine: a 6-speed automatic and 6-speed manual. We found both worked beautifully.
One big styling change on all 2012 Mazda3 models is the nose. That big grin that's been fixed on the face of the Mazda3 for the past two years has been wiped off, replaced by a smile that's more reserved.
Because the Mazda3 was redesigned for 2010, including a lighter stiffer chassis and new interior, there aren't a lot of other changes for 2012.
For 2012, the old 2.0-liter engine remains in the base model. The 2.5-liter engine in the up-level s models is unchanged as is the 2.3-liter turbocharged Mazdaspeed3.
Mazda makes a claim for the new 3. 'Our 40 is better than their 40,' they say, meaning zoom-zoom performance hasn't been compromised to hit 40 mpg. Not by hard tires, space-saving spares, or aerodynamic hubcaps. And 'their 40' refers to Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus, Chevrolet Cruze, and Honda Civic, competitors that also reach 40 mpg, in certain models. Mazda says it offers the most optional extra equipment of any 40-mpg car, for example a Technology Package with blind spot monitoring system, adaptive headlamps and LED taillamps.
The 2012 Mazda3 looks better without that stupid grin. It's smoother, prettier and more aerodynamic, as the front fenders are also tweaked, puffed out forward of the wheels. The sedan has a 0.27 coefficient of drag, and the five-door is 0.29 Cd, strong numbers for a hatchback.
There's one change from the interior of the 2011 Mazda3, satin rings around the three climate knobs, for a reason Mazda actually tested with human beings. Recognition speed and accuracy, and that means less distraction. Every single control on the Mazda3 instrument panel is intuitive and easy to reach and use. The center stack is clean, the gauges clear, and digital information accessed by a thumb scroll on the steering wheel. Mazda3 comes standard with steering-wheel controls.
The Mazda3 sedan's trunk has 11.8 cubic feet of space, and the hatchback has 17 cubic feet behind the rear seat. Both come standard with 60/40 split folding rear seats, and they fold nearly flat, so the cargo space can be expanded enormously. In a pinch, the sedan can carry most of what the hatchback can.
In a day of hard driving on the Angeles Crest Highway and on some mountain roads in Southern California, we couldn't find a flaw in the 2.0-liter SkyActiv powertrain. We tested it hard, and it worked.
The 2012 Mazda3's 2.0-liter SkyActiv engine makes 155 horsepower and 148 foot-pounds of torque; good hp, excellent torque increase for the 2012 models. Enough for plenty of acceleration, with the new 6-speed automatic transmission working beautifully with the available torque. At 70 mph the engine spins at a leisurely 2200 rpm, smooth and silent. With the 6-speed manual, it runs 70 mph at 500 rpm more, still can't really hear it.
Government fuel economy estimates for the new 2.0-liter SkyActiv engine were not available when this was written. Mazda officials place it at 28/40 miles per gallon. We got 29.5 mpg driving it hard over the curvy 4910-foot-high Angeles Crest Highway east of Los Angeles, and 43.7 mpg returning to the city mostly on the freeway, running 65-70, accelerating and decelerating with the fast flow of traffic.
The 2012 6-speed automatic will downshift aggressively, and upshift at low rpm; few do that. It will do what you ask it to, and no more, quicker and smoother than before. The SkyActiv goal was to make it upshift as fast as a twin-clutch automatic manual, and 15 milliseconds is the result.
The 2012 6-speed manual transmission also went SkyActiv. This goal was to make it feel like the Miata MX-5 gearbox. Bushings were changed to bearings, shafts re-splined, and oil reservoirs shrunk and moved, all to shorten the throw of the shift lever, from 50mm to 45mm, without making it feel heavier. That's about one-fourth of an inch. Shortest throw of any passenger car, claims Mazda.
The suspension on all 2012 Mazda3 models has been tweaked to deliver a more European feel. We ran a lot of harsh patchy pavement on curvy roads, and it wasn't quite a sport sedan, but the feedback was direct, driven hard with the 6-speed automatic transmission in Manual mode. The harsh patches never made the ride uncomfortable.
As for the 2.5-liter engine, with 167 horsepower and 168 pounds of torque, it gets the job done with room to spare. The best happens when the tachometer swings through the 4500-4800 rpm range and keeps pulling to near redline. It climbs hills confidently and cruises on the highway effortlessly. Of course you pay for the power, as it only gets 22/29 mpg with the automatic.
For 2012 there are also a number of changes to the packages and standard equipment of models, mostly 2.5-liter S models. Price increases reflect this, although Mazda says that when weighed in the context of equipment against 2011, prices don't change much.
The 2012 Mazda3 lineup includes six models using three engines, four transmissions, and two body styles. The five-door hatchback is usually $500 more than the four-door sedan.
The well-equipped base Mazda3 i SV 4-door ($15,200) uses the older 2.0-liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission; it has power windows and steering-wheel controls, but lacks air conditioning and power locks. The Mazda3 i Sport sedan adds air conditioning, power locks, remote keyless ignition and comes with the 5-speed manual ($16,845) or the 5-speed automatic ($17,695).
Mazda3 i Touring features the new SkyActiv 2.0-liter engine and 6-speed automatic ($19,300) or 6-speed manual ($18,450); Touring also upgrades with Bluetooth, alloy wheels, cruise control, leather trim, and upgraded sound system. The i Grand Touring ($22,300), also with that powertrain, throws in moonroof, Bose sound system, 8-way power driver's seat, and more.
Mazda3 s Touring gets the 2.5-liter engine and 6-speed manual ($21,300) or 5-speed automatic ($22,100). The fully loaded Mazda3 s Grand Touring includes leather and navigation and 6-speed manual ($22,900) or 5-speed automatic ($23,700).
The Mazdaspeed3 ($24,000) is the pocket rocket; this hot hatch comes with a 263-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-4, 6-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, and sport seats. For 2012, the Bose 10-speaker surround sound system has been added as standard equipment.
Options include rain-sensing wipers and bi-xenon headlamps, offered in only one other car in the compact segment; also dual zone air conditioning and 8-way power driver's seat, offered only by a few others.
Safety equipment on all Mazda3 models includes dual front airbags, front side airbags, curtain side airbags, active front head restraints, tire-pressure monitor, and anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution. Traction control and electronic stability control are standard on the i Touring and all s models. Optional safety equipment, in the Technology Package, includes a blind spot monitoring system, adaptive headlamps and LED taillamps.
