Writer Description: Changing the way people think about news.
This writer has written 200 articles.
Whether you go on Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, or a web site, ALL mainstream media is inherently biased. Corporations and government agencies are instilling paid political propaganda to promote one or two viewpoints and ignore the rest. The content that you see is often tailored, fabricated, and the public is being actively deceived.
This is a problem because democrats and republicans are fighting each other with their "half" of the same story, while independent thinkers are under-represented or ignored altogether. It doesn't benefit constructive discussion to argue when we only know a portion of what there is, and what’s worse -- the partial information received from the media could be blatantly wrong.
People turn to social media for their political news, which is not as bad but still with flaws. Over and over, unpopular political posts that don't fall within the lines of the company image are taken down from social media sites despite validity.
As a private company, we can't claim our 1st amendment rights and they retain the power to silence your speech. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Plus. All of them tailor what you get to see and often ban controversial posts and arguments.
This is a toxic way of thinking. Silencing unpopular ideas is counterproductive. We can't grow as a group because sometimes the unpopular idea could be the best idea. You never really know unless you listen.
I created a website called Firstamender.com where anyone can write an article without risk of persecution or removal of your content. I have heard concerns about our allowance of ALL content so I would like to clarify a few things. As a contributor to First Amender, You cannot advocate any crimes against a physical victim. Other than that, you're free to write what you want. Your article will never be removed. You can write your own articles by making an account which does not request any Personally Identifiable Information. You may reveal yourself for credit at your own discretion.
Some things you can post about:
- Not safe for work content provided it is about that- not safe for work.
- Racism, provided you are not advocating in the physical harm of others no matter what race, ethnicity, creed, sexual preference.
(I personally would like fewer articles with a racist agenda BUT I'm serious about advocating freedom of speech. People are free to speak their opinion!)
- You can advocate drugs. Anti-copyright/anti-patent avocation is okay too. The only potential loss is monetary and there is not a physical harm to a victim.
Some things you cannot post...
- Advocacy of child pornography
- Advocacy of murder, harming people
- Anything that advocates the physical harm of a person.
- Now for this one. I'm a little annoyed by, but I have to, for the sake of the site from getting taken down: You may not post items subject to copyright and patent claims. I can't have people posting movie dumps and downloads as we'll get taken down immediately for that.
Just keep in mind... I should say this to anyone who is writing on my site: You are advocating the first amendment every time you post/share/like and especially write. You are promoting in the 1st amendment as it stands and I intend to provide this platform for everyone to enjoy.
1stamender.com will preserve your anonymity. However 1stamender.com is not responsible for any user posts/ links/content that are shown. An article will not be taken down unless someone files a valid report for it, is fully reviewed and then eventually taken down if it falls under the physical victim clause.
As a final thought for articles being flagged for content. There exists the rating system which actively tallies up everybody’s personal rating of the article which in turn is what will show up at the top of the list through the article sorting algorithm. If you find an article you do not like, you have the ability to make it appear less on the site by simply rating the journalist, the article, or just by waiting. (Even better: Write a counter article) The older an article is the lower it will appear.
You have the right to stay anonymous in your comments, share at your own discretion.

response:
**Step-by-step: No**
**Training: No**

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps guiding the reader through completing a specific task. While it outlines the policies and guidelines for posting on the 1stAmender platform, it lacks the detailed procedural instructions necessary for training a language model in deeper reasoning. The information is presented in a descriptive format, emphasizing freedom of speech and site rules rather than structured steps that would facilitate understanding or application.

Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task, as it lacks structured instructions or a guide. Additionally, the content seems focused on a video rather than offering detailed procedural instructions that would facilitate the training of a language model capable of deeper reasoning. Therefore, it does not encourage the systematic processing or application of knowledge in a way that would support advanced reasoning tasks.

The Ancient Romans are lauded for inventing cement, which has been one of the basic building materials used by much of the world since it was first created. Cement is great. It’s good for making buildings, roads, sidewalks and more, and if made correctly it can last for hundreds or even thousands of years. Adobe is another material from the ancient world, and the Adobe Blocks 2 mod brings this versatile construction material to the realm of Minecraft. It can be used to create a variety of structures, including furnaces and specialized doors which work for the player, but not for villagers.
You might have noticed the “2” tagged onto the end of the mod name there. That’s because this is actually the second version of the mod, which includes more content than the first and is meant specifically for more recent versions of Minecraft. Now the adobe material can be used for making a set of materials, and even weapons in the form of a sword and rocks used for fighting at a range. There are few other mods which allow you to simply chuck bricks at other payers, except for the Brick mod, and you’ll probably laugh the first time you stone a zombie to death.
Because adobe bricks are essentially made from a mixture of mud, manure and straw in most recipes, adobe isn’t exactly the most durable material in the world. Adobe swords are no replacement for diamond swords, for example. More refined building materials will also weather explosions better than adobe, which is about as strong as stone when compared to all the other materials in Minecraft. If you’re looking to add another level of design to Minecraft, or maybe to build up a believable desert village, you will probably like the Adobe Blocks 2 mod.
Adobe Blocks 2 Mod Update Logs
- Fixed the Adobe Furnace
- Updated to 1.11.2
- Updated block and item registration code
- Update entity rendering code
- Updated to Minecraft 1.8.X
- Added Wooden Crossbeams
- Added Adobe Tile
- Added Adobe Mixture Block
How to install Adobe Blocks 2 Mod?
- Download the mod!
- When you haven’t installed Minecraft Forge yet, download and install it.
- Move the downloaded .jar into the mods folder.
- Have fun!

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through the process of installing the Adobe Blocks 2 mod, with instructions presented in a numbered format that is easy to follow. However, the procedural instructions lack depth and detail necessary for training a language model in deeper reasoning, as they do not elaborate on each step or explain the rationale behind the actions involved in the installation process.

Do you like chocolate brownies? Let me rephrase that, who doesn’t love brownies? I know, I know, there are some people out there that are not particularly fond of chocolatey treats. Luckily, I am not one of them and when it comes to brownies, I just can’t say no. They are not precisely the lightest of bites, but hey! Think about it as your reward for eating clean throughout the whole week.
As an avid sweet treat lover and a big fan of Sam’s sister’s mouth-watering brownies, I thought I’d share the following recipe with you, which she is a pro at. This is such an easy dessert to make and this gooey chocolate brownie recipe serves 12 chunky brownies, perfect for sharing them with loved ones and friends (if you don’t end up eating them all in one go, like we nearly did).
Gooey Chocolate Brownies
- Calories 370
- Fat 20.4g
- Saturates 12.39g
- Protein 3.51g
- Carbs 46.9g
- Sugars 36g
- Salt 0.1g
- Fibre 1.6g
- 180g Unsalted Organic Butter
- 200g Dark Chocolate
- 50g Milk Chocolate (Optional)
- 320g Golden Caster Sugar
- 130g Plain Flour
- 3 Eggs
- To Bake: Greaseproof Paper, Baking Tray
- Optional Fillings: Raspberries, Walnuts, Baby Marshmallows, Chocolate Chips (for an extra chocolatey experience!)
- Optional Decoration: Icing Sugar
- Preheat the oven to 170ºC/340ºF (Fan).
- Break up the dark and milk chocolate and cut the butter into small pieces. Mix them together in a heatproof bowl.
- Fill half a small saucepan with hot water. When the water is gently simmering, place the heatproof bowl over it (without touching the water). Leave until the chocolate and butter are melted, stirring regularly. Optional: melt the mixture in a microwave for 2min on high but be careful not to burn it!
- Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature.
- Once cool, mix the chocolate and butter with the caster sugar, stirring it well.
- Add the flour and eggs. Stir it until it’s all mixed together.
- Cover the baking tray with greaseproof paper and pour in the brownie mixture. Optional: add a filling of choice, simply pressing it into the mixture.
- Put the brownie mixture in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40min. Feel free to leave it longer if it’s still not quite cooked in the centre (use a toothpick to check). Remember: the perfect brownie is firm on the top but still soft and gooey in the middle; do not leave the mixture in the oven for too long, otherwise your brownies will end up being too hard and crunchy!
- Once baked, take the brownie cake out of the oven and leave it to cool in the tray.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the tray and cut into chunky squares. Optional: add icing sugar to decorate!
Et voilà! See how simple it is? Sam and I enjoyed making them and we loved eating them even more. I have to admit eating your own chewy brownies makes them taste 100% better, and the raspberries and walnuts fillings did not disappoint. Needless to say, they were all gone within two days; to be honest I am surprised we managed stop ourselves from devouring them shortly after we got them out of the oven. It must mean we are getting old. Oh no!
You can have them just as plain brownies or, if you are feeling adventurous, add a scoop of chocolate/vanilla ice cream or berries on top! Simply delicious.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for making gooey chocolate brownies, making it easy for readers to follow along. However, while the instructions are clear, they lack the detailed structural complexity that would be beneficial for training a language model on deeper reasoning, as they do not include nuanced explanations or considerations that go beyond the basic steps of the recipe.

Do you want to immigrate to Canada? Are you aware of the Canada Immigration visa programs? However, Canada is in need of immigrants as immigrants are in Canada, and therefore, have launched new Canada immigration visa programs to make it easier for foreigners to become permanent residents of the country.
Moreover, one of the major aims of Canadian immigration is to take in foreigners especially from Asia and Africa to help contribute to Canada’s growing economy. The country is known to be built by immigrants and is still in need of more skilled workers who can help boost the country’s economy. With the idea that the country can become more stable by the contributions of others, Canada welcomes every foreign national regardless of race or religion.
There are different means to become a successful applicant of the Canada immigration visa programs. However, I’ll be explaining them to you and linking you to the assessment forms. I believe at the end of the tunnel, you’d get everything straight. According to the Canadian legal law, permanent immigrants are categorize by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as either of the following class:
- Family: These are persons that are closely related to one or more Canadian residents who live in Canada.
- Economic: Includes skilled workers, caregivers, or business persons.
- Protected persons or Refugees: This class consists of persons who are escaping persecution, torture, and/or cruel and unusual punishment.
- Humanitarian or other: These are persons accepted as immigrants for humanitarian or compassionate reasons.
In other words, these are the ways one can immigrate to Canada. Then, under these classes of immigrants, you will find the specific Canadian immigration visa program that fits your motive or that you which you meet the eligibility criteria.
Canada Immigration Visa Programs
The Canadian governments constantly update their visa programs. However, any update would be notified via the assessment form we provide. So, going through this guide keeps you updated equally. Also, there are over 80 programs available for immigration to Canada.
Major Categories for Canada Immigration Visa Programs
We have major categories for workers and professionals under which can qualify you for the Canada immigration permanent resident visa. This includes;
1. Federal and Quebec Skilled worker programs:
This is to primarily welcome skilled workers traveling to Canada. Skilled workers as said who permanently settle in Canada are especially valuable to Canada’s economy. These are two separate/ different Canadian immigration visa programs.
The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) will issue immigrant visas to candidates with experience in specific occupations and their ability to become economically established in Canada. The skilled workers will be assessed based on certain factors such as work experience, language abilities, education, etc.
Successful candidates of the Federal Skilled Worker Program are issued Canadian permanent resident visas. Which allows them to immigrate to Canada with their dependents, and have the right to live, study, and work anywhere throughout the country.
The Quebec-selected Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) on the other hand, is for foreign skilled workers who want to become permanent residents of Canada and live in Quebec. However, Quebec is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. You can apply for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program if have one of the experiences of the occupation required in Quebec and are also fluent in French. You can visit Quebec’s immigration website if you want to live in the province.
2. Provincial Nominee Programs:
Basically, the provincial nominee programs authorize allows Canadian provinces and also territories to be able to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada. Also, individuals that are interested in settling in a particular province are not left out.
However, only the federal government of Canada may issue permanent resident visas. The visa under the provincial nominee program will be issue to semi or lower-skill workers who can contribute to Canada’s economy through their work. The provincial nominee programs authorize Canadian provinces and territories to nominate particular foreign nationals to apply for their Canadian permanent residency.
Moreover, nearly every province and territory in Canada has a provincial nominee program. After the applicant is nominated by a province or territory, the foreigner will be given a nomination certificate that is to be submitted with their application to the federal government for their Canadian permanent resident visa. The workers will be placed in different provinces of Canada where the demand for their work is higher.
3. Canadian Experience Class Immigration Program:
This is an immigration section for Canada’s foreign workers who have a temporary residence visa and wish to become permanent residents. The Canadian experience class immigration process is done by submitting an online profile to the Express Entry pool, under one of the three federal Canada immigration programs or a provincial immigration program. After that, the candidates with the highest ranks will then be invited to apply for permanent residence.
4. Federal self-Employed Immigration Program:
This category of the program is directed only to self-employed with relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics seeking permanent residence in Canada. You may be eligible to obtain a business immigrant visa for yourself and your dependents if you are interested in settling in Canada as a professional athlete, farmer, or artisan.
Moreover, the self-employed immigration program allows a foreign national to immigrate to Canada permanently as a self-employed person. However, you must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the program. They include:
- have relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics and
- be willing and able to make a significant contribution to the cultural or athletic life of Canada
5. Family Class Sponsorship:
This is another program that allows many Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring loved ones abroad to Canada. This is to say, your relatives can live, study and work in Canada if they become permanent residents of Canada. You can sponsor certain relatives to come to Canada if you meet the following eligibility criteria:
- You must be at least 18 years
- Be a Canadian citizen or
- Permanent resident of Canada
Moreover, family members eligible to sponsor are as follows:
How Much Does Canada Immigration Cost?
Moreover, the amount of funds you need to immigrate to Canada varies considerably. Besides, most immigration programs do not require any other fee more than the processing fees for your visa application. However, below is a breakdown of the fees by each category of immigration:
Family Sponsorship: However, in most cases such as spousal or dependent child sponsorship, you may not need to meet any financial requirements. But sponsoring other family members a parent or grandparent, you must meet a certain financial requirement in order to be eligible to apply.
Economic/ Business Immigration: You will need significant investment for any form of business immigration in Canada. While most economic categories of immigration will require proof that you are able to financially support yourself while in Canada, but some do not. However, the categories of economic immigration that do not require proof of sufficient funds are ones that usually require the applicant to have work experience and a job offer in Canada.
Humanitarian and Refugee Sponsorship: Applying for immigration under this category does not involve any financial requirements. However, the only time financial requirements may be need is if the refugee is privately sponsor.
What Canada Immigration Visa Programs can I Apply for?
There are different ways to identify which Canadian immigration program that is best for you, and this depends on your current career status. If you have a post-secondary school education, then applying for the skilled worker and province nominee program is the best.
Having at least one year of skilled work experience makes you eligible to apply for the skilled worker and province nominee program. This is so because it helps assimilate the Canadian labor market as you are a contributing member of the Canadian economy.
Moreover, if you have a Canadian job offer, then you can simply go through the assessment form provided before the end of this guide. If you have a friend or relative in Canada, then applying through the Family Class program is the best option. Also, Canada may give you an option through the Provincial Nominee program to apply.
If you’ve worked or studied in Canada. Then you can apply through the Canadian experience class and also Quebec experience class programs. They offer permanent Canadian immigration options for these individuals. If you own a business or have a high net worth or significant financial resource. Then applying through the Provincial Nominee program or federal self-employed program is the best option to get a Canadian immigration visa.
Furthermore, there’s also an online tool known as Come to Canada. It helps foreign nationals find out which category of visa immigration that they are eligible to apply for. The tool is only for reference only, it guides you through some questions about your personal and work history. Then, according to your responses and your situation, it then gives you:
- a list of options, and
- step-by-step instructions on how to apply
Canada Immigration Visa Programs
In summary, the Canadian immigration visa has nothing to do with your educational qualifications. Just as explained above, students and non-students can apply. Some visas also include student Canadian visa, visitor Canadian visa, transit Canadian visa, pilgrimage Canadian visa, tourist Canadian visa, skilled worker Canadian visas, and lots more.
Know our current status and use the above guide to know the exact Canadian immigration visa program to apply for. At the end of the tunnel, then you can go through the free assessment form to complete your application. Also, read about the 5 easiest ways to migrate to Canada.

Hope this was helpful? Yes or No

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article lacks a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a task, as it mainly consists of an overview of various immigration programs without detailed instructions for applying to them. Additionally, although it discusses eligibility criteria and provides some guidance, the information is not structured in a way that would facilitate deeper reasoning or comprehensive understanding for training a language model; it lacks the necessary procedural clarity and depth.

I learned today that WordPress, who hosts this blog and a bajilion others worldwide, will no longer run their weekly photo challenges and writing prompts. By participating in the photo challenges, I have been privileged to view beautiful photography from around the world and right in my city. Many of us follow each other’s blogs so we don’t miss a post. I am lucky but new and future bloggers won’t have that opportunity.
One last time, here is my contribution to a challenge: Twisted. We were asked to show something that is rounded. This subway station connects the E and M trains with the 6. It was an efficient transfer point while I was commuting for a late-night short-term project. I don’t recall ever using that station much; indeed, I initially forgot about it and took a more time-consuming route.
Train stations are rarely this attractive. I also like that there are pretty much no corners. Everything and everyone is visible, a huge comfort when I was traveling home. It’s well-lit and some of the street is visible, making me feel less like some scurrying subterranean creature.
Back to the prompts: There are other blogs that host photo challenges. (Looking at you, Cee’s Photography!) Let’s use the comments section below to share various sites where we can convene and share our photos, observations, joys and knowledge.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task, as it mainly reflects on the author's experiences and the ending of a photography challenge rather than outlining procedural instructions. Additionally, the content lacks detailed instructions that would be beneficial for training a language model in deeper reasoning, since it does not offer a structured methodology or logical progression that encourages analysis or understanding.

By Andy Ives, CFP®, AIF®
Every year thousands of traditional IRA account owners turn 70 ½ years old. In addition, each year thousands of younger non-spouse beneficiaries inherit traditional and Roth IRA accounts. What do these two groups of people have in common? They all must begin taking RMDs. Here’s the kicker – what’s the chance that every single one of these thousands of people fresh to the world of required minimum distributions A.) realizes they need to take an RMD; B.) knows the deadline for taking the RMD; and C.) actually takes it?
I say the chance is 0%. In fact, I would be willing to bet my house and my son’s grandparent’s house and my car that someone in the world will fail to take their RMD before the end of this year. And we are not even talking about the hundreds of thousands of people over 70 ½ who are already deep into their RMD years. It’s as certain as the sunrise in the morning and as leaves falling in autumn. Death, taxes and missed RMDs.
The penalty for missing a required minimum distribution? Nothing to sneeze at. Fifty-percent. Five-Oh. One half of whatever the RMD that was supposed to be withdrawn. For example, an 83-year-old with $250,000 remaining in his IRA has a life expectancy of 16.3 years according to the Uniform Lifetime Table. $250,000 divided by 16.3 equals a $15,338 RMD. Miss the December 31 deadline and he is staring at a penalty of $7,669.
The 50% missed RMD penalty is one of the harshest punishments in the tax code. But do not fret! Here are 5 steps to (hopefully) save the day:
1. Withdraw the missed RMD as soon as possible. There is no chance of relief from the penalty until this is done.
2. Report the mistake to the IRS on Form 5329. Form 5329 can be filed along with the annual tax return for the year the RMD is finally distributed. It can also be filed as a stand-alone return.
3. Complete the form as follows:
- On line 52, report the RMD that should have been distributed.
- On line 53, report the amount that was distributed before the deadline. This will be “0” if nothing was withdrawn by the deadline.
- In parentheses on line 54, write “RC” (for reasonable cause) and list the amount you want waived. If you are requesting a full waiver of the missed RMD, the total amount will be listed on the dotted lines next to RC and within parentheses [e.g. “RC ($7,669)”]. If you are requesting a full waiver, enter “0” on line 54.
- On line 55, report the penalty that is due. Again, if you are requesting a full waiver, you should enter “0.”
- Attach a brief letter to the return explaining how the mistake occurred, what you did to fix it, and how you are making sure it doesn’t happen again.
4. Do not pay the penalty! Wait for IRS approval or denial. If denied, the IRS will send a notice requesting payment.
5. If multiple RMDs have been missed, file a separate 5329 for each year.
The penalty for a missed RMD is harsh, so be sure to withdraw your required amount annually. If you fail to take the distribution, there is no guarantee the IRS will waive the penalty. However, by following these steps you will at least be on the path to potential forgiveness.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: Yes

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps designed to help individuals navigate the process of correcting a missed required minimum distribution (RMD). Each step is detailed enough to guide the reader through the necessary actions, including specific instructions on filling out Form 5329, which enhances the likelihood that a language model could be trained to reason through similar tax-related situations effectively. The structure of the instructions encourages deeper reasoning by outlining both the actions required and the rationale behind them, thus aiding comprehension of potentially complex tax regulations.

The FMCSA issues each new registrant a U.S. DOT Number as a result and this is used to identify your company by all areas of the industry including law enforcement. An active 48 state process agent is required to be filed with the FMCSA for instances when state government documents are issued to your company.
IFTA Fuel Tax
International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) License and Decals. Data processing, reporting, record-keeping & audit representation services.
Do you travel outside of your home jurisdiction and have a vehicle with a registered Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) or a total registered GVW when used in combination with a trailer of more than 26,000lbs (11,797kgs) or have 3 axles regardless of weight? If so, you need an IFTA license and decals for your vehicles. IFTA allows registered interjurisdictional carriers to get one license, issued by their base jurisdiction, to report and pay motor fuel taxes to a single jurisdiction. As an IFTA licensee, your report your fuel purchases and jurisdictional travel within one month after the end of every quarter. Interested in how you can benefit from over 25 years of regulatory compliance knowledge or just want to know more about the IFTA program? Request a quote for our IFTA processing service.
Weight Distance Tax Accounts
For travel to or through Kentucky, New Mexico, New York and Oregon
Weight Distance Tax (WDT) is imposed on owners, operators and registrants of interstate commercial vehicles with a declared gross vehicle weight in excess of 26,000lbs. If you fit this description you will be required to track, report and pay tax based on your fleets distance in the above jurisdictions. Contact us today to learn how TransReport proactively manages your WDT accounts, distributes tax payments on your behalf and maintains an accurate vehicle inventory.
IRP Vehicle Licensing
International Registration Plan (IRP) plating for your vehicles. We work with your home jurisdiction to get your vehicles plated quickly.
Travelling outside of your home jurisdiction and have vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 11,797kgs (26,000lbs) or with 3 or more axles regardless of weight? You require IRP registration and plating. IRP distributes registration fees for commercial vehicles among member jurisdictions based on the number of miles carriers travel in other jurisdictions. Want to know more about the IRP program and our IRP licensing services?
Travelling in the U.S.? The Standard Carrier Alpha Code is a unique two to four letter code used to identify transportation companies.
A SCAC code is required for U.S. Customs entry, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), when doing business with many shippers and when doing business with the U.S. Government.
Unified Carrier Registration (UCR)
Operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle in and through the United States? You'll likely require UCR.
UCR classifies a commercial motor vehicle as a power unit that is operated in commerce and has a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 10,001lbs or more. UCR Fees are determined by the total number of commercial motor vehicles that you operate and are used by participating states to support their safety program and USDOT officer training. Contact us today to learn more about UCR fees and our UCR filing service!
U.S. Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT)
If you operate trucks with a gross weight over 55,000 lbs you must file HVUT form 2290.
Yearly filing for Form 2290 filers is July 1 through June 30 each year. You must file form 2290 for the month the taxable vehicle is first used on public highways during the reporting period. First time filer and do not have an Employer Identification Number (EIN)? No problem. We will work on your behalf to obtain your EIN and file your form 2290 to ensure you are compliant.
Electronic Logging Devices (ELD)
If you are required to keep a record of duty status, your vehicles must be equipped with a compliant ELD. Don’t worry; we have you covered there too with Omnitracs XRS.
The ELD Mandate requires all motor carriers operating in the U.S. to have ELD’s installed in each of their vehicles to track driver’s hours of service. While this can be viewed as simply an added expensive for carriers, it is wise to look at the bigger picture of what this technology can do to improve the performance of your fleet. Many ELD solutions come equipped with a full suite of features that offer much more than driver’s hours of service. GPS tracking, driving scanning and electronic signatures, electronic DVIRs, fuel tax reporting resources and a plethora of alerts/reporting options to name just a few. Identifying the top and bottom drivers based on metrics such as MPG, Speeding miles %, hard brakes and high speed brakes is just one way companies are improving their fleet’s performance and making a return on their investment.

It’s now a tradition. After my birthday in late January, it’s become A Thing for me to share a blogpost about stuff I learned (or experienced or tried for the first time) over the previous year. I hope you enjoy this year’s!
We just uploaded a new video to YouTube! The highlights of 2020 for Kittywham Productions: performances, publications, and much more. We hope you enjoy this recap of the past year!
Amid all the As Ever, Sam rehearsal videos and updates, I have an exciting announcement. Today I’m releasing my first ever comic Christmas skit!
In Hipster Holidays, lifestyle coaches Phoenix and Remy (from Alternative Apologies) are back with hot tips for the holiday season!
It’s that time of year again… Kittywham Productions is running our annual Christmas drama sale this week!
I confess, I’ve already been kinda in the Christmas mood for the past month, because I’ve been writing a new Christmas play (more on that at the end of the post!).
I told you back in January this would be an exciting year for Kittywham! Of the many projects I’ve been working on this spring, making DVD recordings of past productions has been one of my top priorities, and it’s been a ton of fun.
Big news, guys. We’re releasing a new script this week, The Return of Ben Morgenstern, which was premiered just last December. But this is different from any play we’ve published before.
I’m offering customization services for this script!
Last year, I enjoyed writing my 22 Things I Learned as a 22-Year-Old post so much that I thought I’d do a similar post again this year. Who knows, maybe it’ll become a tradition. I’m a little late this time around (my birthday was a couple weeks ago), but better late than never!
I’m slow to return to the blog and social media after the holidays, but here I am, alive and well! I hope the season of Christmas and the turning of the new year was a time of rest, reflection, and inspiration for you. It certainly was for me.
Encore performance? That’s right! This coming Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 6:30pm, we’re adding one last showing of The Return of Ben Morgenstern at the Wesleyan Church in Salem!
It’s dress rehearsal week! I can hardly believe The Return of Ben Morgenstern premieres in just FOUR DAYS. The cast and crew have done incredible work over the past months, and we’re so excited to share this drama with you!

2022-23 Financial Aid Application Process Requirements
As a returning student who completed an application for institutional aid in 2021-22, the only application you need to submit at this time is the 2022-23 CSS Profile (Custodial and Noncustodial Parents).
Note: If you are an international student and do not currently receive financial aid from Cornell, you are not eligible to apply for financial aid now or in subsequent years.
The upper class financial aid deadline is March 1, 2022. Please be sure to complete your CSS Profile by the deadline in order to have your institutional aid offer in place before the fall bill is issued in July.
Completing the CSS Profile
- Access the CSS Profile. College Board has created interactive instructions to assist you.
- Cornell’s undergraduate CSS Code is 2098 (Cornell Vet: 2822, Cornell Law: 2099) - students should select “continue” if any warning message pops up on the college selection page.
- The registration step has been eliminated; applicant information will be saved from the moment you first interact with the CSS Profile.
- If parents are divorced, separated, or were never married, your noncustodial parent will need to complete a separate CSS Profile. Each parent will access their CSS Profile with different College Board log-in credentials.
- College Board recommends that the student and the custodial parent start the CSS Profile application first. Although the noncustodial parent can start the application at any time, the noncustodial parent will not be able to complete the application until the student selects a college that requires the CSS Profile from the noncustodial parent.
- To keep financial information private, the student and parents should not share their College Board account passwords with each other.
Next Steps After CSS Profile Completion
Unless specifically requested, you do not need to submit additional documentation at the present time. If supporting documentation is needed, you will be notified via your Cornell email and the Student Center To Do List. Please pay close attention to any instructions received from our office and respond as soon as possible.
We will begin notifying applicants of 2022-23 aid eligibility in May via email to the student’s Cornell email address.
In the event that we need additional documentation, we may ask you to submit tax documents directly to the Office of Financial Aid and Student Employment via one of the following methods below. Please be sure to include your name and Cornell ID number on your documents.
Secure Fax: 607-255-6329 or;
Secure Online Upload
Select the dropdowns below for further instructions.
Family Income Information
- Translated documentation verifying your parents' annual income (custodial and noncustodial, if applicable) for the most recently completed tax year.
- If your parent(s) did not work, please have them submit a signed statement indicating he/she was not required to file a return or earned zero income for the most recently completed tax year.
- Note: If only one of your parents files a tax return, we will require the other parent to complete a Parent Non-Filer Statement.
Applicants have a Cornell To Do List
. We communicate our aid application requirements through the Cornell To Do List
. Please reference this regularly to see that everything is complete. Items will disappear once they are completed in your financial aid file.
Do you have further questions?
All questions can be directed to the Financial Aid Office.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.org or Phone: 607-255-5145
- Applicants who have dual U.S. citizenship should follow the instructions for U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
- Applicants should be prepared to submit additional information to Cornell University upon request, including but not limited to: parent and student 2020 and/or 2021 income information, noncustodial parent income and asset information, and a photocopy of your passport or citizenship documents.
- Review some Frequently Asked Questions regarding international financial aid at Cornell. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact us via email.
- The Internal Revenue Service classifies grant aid in excess of tuition and mandatory fees as taxable income and requires Cornell to withhold 14% in taxes if you are a non-resident alien and not eligible for exemption from taxes under a tax treaty.

Step-by-step: Yes
Training: Yes

The article provides clear and ordered steps for completing the CSS Profile, starting with accessing the profile and including specific instructions regarding parental involvement and documentation. These procedural instructions are detailed enough to facilitate deeper reasoning, as they outline not only the steps necessary for application but also the implications of each action (e.g., the importance of account privacy and potential follow-up actions). This clarity in both sequence and content would support training a language model to understand and reason through financial aid processes.

Army vs Air Force prediction and game preview.
Army vs Air Force Broadcast
Date: Saturday, December 19
Game Time: 3:00 ET
Venue: Michie Stadium, West Point, NY
Network: CBS Sports Network
Army (8-2) vs Air Force (3-2) Game Preview
For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM
Why Air Force Will Win
Can Air Force stop the run? Yeah.
It stuffed Navy’s offense to just 90 yards on the ground in the 40-7 win back in early October, the linebackers are fantastic at swarming, and the run D overall has been a relative rock allowing over 150 yards just once, giving up 179 to Boise State.
The Falcons have the defensive front to hold up against FB Jakobi Buchanan – who wasn’t used much in the 15-0 Army win over Navy, but is a key to making this thing go – and know how to handle this type of O.
On the other side, the Air Force ground game is rolling. It has cranked up over 300 yards against everyone but San Jose State, QB Haaziq Daniels has been great at hitting the open throws – connecting on 11-of-14 passes over the last two games – and the O is rolling. But …
Why Army Will Win
Can Army stop the run? Yeah.
The weather had a whole lot to do with it, but the Navy running game didn’t go anywhere last week. The Knights have had a few more issues against the run over the second half of the season, but it has yet to be hit for more than 200 yards even with games against Tulane and Georgia Southern.
The Air Force defensive front doesn’t get into the backfield, which isn’t the worst thing in the world against this Army attack, but it would be a help to blow things up before they can get going.
What’s Going To Happen
Army is a different team in Michie Stadium.
The competition was better on the road, but it lost to Cincinnati and Tulane – its only two defeats on the year – and hasn’t had too many problems at home.
However, it needed a late rally to get by Georgia Southern – even though it stalled the Eagle option attack – and it lost to Tulane by 26.
Both defenses are good, but Air Force can throw a little bit if it has to. Army can’t.

Togo last team to reach African Cup quarters
RUSTENBURG, South Africa (AP) — Togo survived a controversy-filled match against Tunisia to become the last team to advance to the African Cup of Nations quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Didier Drogba returned to Ivory Coast's lineup and helped the tournament favorite rally for a 2-2 draw against already-eliminated Algeria.
Emmanuel Adebayor's Togo held on for 1-1 with Tunisia to advance past the group stage for the first time in eight appearances. Tunisia, which needed the win to move on, missed a potentially game-winning penalty kick in the second half.
Togo will stay in Nelspruit to face Burkina Faso on Sunday in the quarterfinals, which will be highlighted by the match between Ivory Coast and two-time champion Nigeria on the same day in Rustenburg. Host South Africa will play Mali on Saturday in Durban, while Ghana will face newcomer Cape Verde in Port Elizabeth that same day.
South African referee Daniel Bennett drew attention to himself in the match between Togo and Tunisia, awarding two contentious penalties to Tunisia and turning down several others for both teams.
Serge Gakpe scored the opener for Togo in the 13th minute and Tunisia's Khaled Mouelhi converted the first spot kick to equalize in the 30th, but he hit the upright with the second as the goalkeeper dived the other way.
Togo coach Didier Six and his players were furious with the penalties awarded to Tunisia and complained of allegedly missed calls for them.
"I think the referee was not seeing our penalties," said Adebayor, one of three players given a yellow card for complaining. "Today was not his best day. What do you want me to tell you? He had a bad day, but fortunately we found a way out and we're just happy that we're still in (the tournament)."
There was little controversy in Rustenburg, where there was little to be decided between Ivory Coast and Algeria.

"A Thurston County judge said Friday that state public-disclosure laws do not require Washington government agencies to release information in electronic form if the material is offered on paper."
Friday, June 29, 2007
The gas companies are appealing a Thurston County judge’s ruling to release the information, arguing that it would make their 22,000 miles of underground pipeline systems vulnerable to terrorist attacks or vandalism. The newspapers that are asking for the information say it’s a matter of public interest, especially following the 1999 pipeline explosion in Bellingham that killed an 18-year-old man and two boys."
Thursday, June 28, 2007
Yet another example of information coming to light via the Public Records Act.
A new law involves the disclosure of agency legal invoices like the Tacoma School District's. House Bill 1897 , which passed in the 2007 legislative session, clarifies that the law always required the disclosure of most portions of an agency's legal invoice. The new goes into effect on July 22, 2007.
Here's the problem the Port faces. Government records such as the tape are presumed to be open to the public. Gray areas in definitions are interpreted by a court in favor of disclosure; that is, the tie-breaker goes to the records requestor. "Minutes" of a closed executive session can be withheld. But "minutes" mean the written summary of the meeting--a tape of the whole meeting seems different than mere "minutes." Furthermore, the Legislature is very good at meticulously detailing exactly what it means, so when it said "minutes"--but not "tapes"--can be withheld it must have meant something. And the tie-breaker in this debate goes to the records requestor.
As for the Port's apparent attempt to shield the tapes from public disclosure solely because they are kept in the Port attorney's office, good luck. The P-I story above quotes Allied Law Group's Greg Overstreet on this. He describes the "potted plant" doctrine, which provides that an attorney merely sitting in a meeting like a potted plant cannot turn conversations into nondisclosable privileged communications. There is much more to the attorney-client privilege than the mere presence of an attorney.
Tuesday, June 26, 2007
What a great idea: taping closed executive sessions of public meetings can prove violations and (far more importantly) deter many, many more. Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) and State Auditor Brian Sonntag (D) will be jointly requesting a taping bill in the 2008 legislative session. Auditor Sonntag proposed this same bill in the 2001 legislative session but local government argued--get this--that requiring taping was an "unfunded mandated" which would presumably bankrupt local governments. A small digital recorder costs about $59. The saddest part about this argument is ... it worked, at least in 2001. But we think things will be different in 2008.

Good for BIAW. Often maligned as too "conservative," BIAW does some of the best investigative work around--and usually via the Public Records Act. (Uncovering wrongdoing by the status quo government establishment is hardly "conservative," but that's a discussion for a different day.) Many in government want to weaken the Public Records Act. Ever wonder why?
Washington law prohibits a "search" fee for public records. Many have thought a class-action suit in Washington over illegal "search" fees and excessive copying charges would make sense. After all, an agency is not even remotely deterred by having to refund a few dollars to an individual requestor, but if you group several thousand requestors together for refunds ...
How did you and thousands of other citizens learn about this horrible tragedy? "State records show" means the Public Records Act. "Hundreds of pages of investigative files" also means the Public Records Act. Running this story, which was made possible by access to public records, will hopefully change things for other kids and help us keep our government accountable.
The "review of disciplinary records" mentioned in the story would be via the Public Records Act. The review of "court files" would be via open-government court rules which are similar to the Public Records Act. Then the story magnificently illustrates the importance of the Public Records Act by noting that problem officers are discovered by defense lawyers who find out about them "from a public-records request." Wow. You couldn't come up with a better example of how the Public Records Act allows us to remedy wrongs and keep government accountable. Quite a few in government want to eliminate or severely weaken the effectiveness of the Public Records Act. Ever wonder why?
To be crystal clear: Minutes of an open meeting in Washington are public records subject to disclosure. The law provides: "The minutes of all regular and special meetings except executive sessions of [all] boards, commissions, agencies or authorities shall be promptly recorded and such records shall be open to public inspection."
Tip of the hat to Leslie Graves for this story. She operates a great blog called State Sunshine and Open Records. She provides a weekly roundup of open-government news stories from around the United States in a feature called Random Friday Links, from which I found the NJ story.
Friday, June 22, 2007
"RALEIGH, N.C. — A Dare County judge has ordered the town of Kitty Hawk to pay a newspaper $75,000 to cover legal costs it incurred as it fought for access to government records. The Outer Banks Sentinel sued Kitty Hawk in 2004, after town officials refused to release billing records of the town’s contract attorney in 2003 and 2004. ... Superior Court Judge Richard Parker, in a decision filed June 19, blamed the town’s attorneys for using 'totally unwarranted' tactics in defending the case, adding expenses to the newspaper’s legal costs."
By the way, the Legislature passed a bill in 2007 specifically declaring that agency legal invoices are subject to disclosure (with minor redactions). The law goes into effect on July 22, 2007. What do you want to bet that local governments in Washington continue to deny requests for their legal bills? Denying a public records request when the Legislature specifically passed a law declaring the record to be disclosable is perhaps the best possible example of "totally unwarranted" defense tactics. Prediction: In a few months, OG-Blog will be writing about a huge award of legal fees and penalties because a local government attempted to withhold legal invoices.
While the story doesn't say so, I suspect that the newspaper did what newspapers often do: heard a tip and then verified it with public records. Newspapers don't just print rumors, despite what their detractors think. Public records are routinely used to verify the facts--and that's a good thing. No verification via public records and no story. That's a bad thing, especially if you have students in a public school and had no idea one of your child's teachers was accused of sexual misconduct.
By the way, the Seattle-area teachers unions actually argued in the state Supreme Court a few months ago that obtaining public records showing the identities of teachers accused of sexual misconduct with students was "not in the public interest." Think about it.
"The state is now looking for an expert on open records. The budget that goes into effect in July includes $100,000 to hire an open records ombudsman, someone to help regular people get documents that are available under the state's Public Records Act."
Good for Tennessee. Pierce County is looking at doing the same thing and Washington's Attorney General, Rob McKenna, did the same in early 2005 by hiring Allied Law Group's Greg Overstreet. Now that Overstreet has moved over to private practice, McKenna has replaced him with Tim Ford. A public records ombudsman is one of the few examples in government where a public employee's job is specifically to help individual people with claims against the government. It's rare. But needed.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery so Washington citizens should feel flattered. Our legislature created a Sunshine Committee this year and it will start meeting in July. Good for Florida, which is, after all, the "Sunshine State" (that's what their license plates say so it must be true).
Tip of the hat to Mindy Chambers at the Washington State Auditor's Office who alerted OG-Blog to this.
The Department of Corrections should look at the Attorney General's recently-adopted (non-binding) model rules on providing electronic records (scroll down to "2007 Model Rules (Electronic Records)"). They say that electronic records should be provided in an electronic format in most cases.

Washington does pretty well. For the record: the disclosure of a public employee’s salary is absolutely required by the Public Records Act. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Liability for releasing a public record in good faith? Not possible. RCW 42.56.100 provides: "No public agency, public official, public employee, or custodian shall be liable, nor shall a cause of action exist, for any loss or damage based upon the release of a public record if the public agency, public official, public employee, or custodian acted in good faith in attempting to comply with the [the Public Records Act]." So fear of liability isn't the reason to withhold this record ...
Friday, June 15, 2007
Washington's Open Public Meetings Act does not require an agenda, let alone an agenda with enough information to inform the public of what the meeting is about. So in Washington the public can attend a meeting ... but cannot require the agency to tell them what the meeting is about.

Washington State Bar News Review of Public Records Deskbook: "a landmark, hitting the ball out of the park."
"[The] Public Records Act Deskbook is a hands-on users' guide to getting information from state government, whether one is a lawyer or not. As such, it stands as one of the WSBA's more remarkable and successful efforts to manifest its mission to serve the people of Washington."
OG-blog thinks Pierce County could really use some open-government improvement. Kudos to county councilmember Shawn Bunney for thinking of this and moving forward on it. Once again illustrating that open government is not a partisan issue, Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) and State Auditor Brian Sonntag (D) testified in favor of the proposal.

"City Council members Monday night unanimously called for an investigation of Mayor Jerry Landcastle’s conduct. ...

How to update Realtek NIC drivers during Bare Metal Restore
During a Bare Metal Restore, the NIC drivers for the Realtek family of network cards may need to be manually updated using the XP/Windows Server 2003 driver. The Windows Home Server restore CD will indicate the "inbox" driver for the restore CD is present; however, this driver may not work and there will be no network connectivity. The solution is to download the drivers from the Realtek site and install them during Bare Metal Restore using a USB key outlined in the process below.
Note: Passively placing the drivers on the key will not work as the existing drivers are already loaded. You must follow the steps below.
1. Download network driver from the Realtek Website:
a. Download the Windows XP(WinServer2003) Driver.
2. Extract the zip file onto the USB flash and plug the USB flash into the client PC.
3. Apply the downloaded NIC driver with Windows Home Server Restore CD
a. On the detect hardware screen, select the appropriate time/currency format and keyboard/input method
b. Detect hardware dialog will detect one network device but it will not be usable because of hardware and driver incompatibility.
c. Manually update the driver from the USB flash
i. Select the “Show Details…” button
ii. Scan USB flash to update the driver
iii. Press the “Install Drivers…”
iv. Push “Scan” button to scan for new/updated drives
v. A dialogue box will pop up:
"Drivers were found for your hardware.
Click OK to see all detected hardware."
vi. Select OK

This light and nutritious salad is a great way to make use of roast chicken leftovers. It would also be fabulous with leftover turkey, so make sure to set some turkey aside with this salad in mind.
I love the flavors here: there’s some sweet from the persimmon, some crunch from the pecans, and the fresh thyme adds a touch of herbal flair.
It’s important to use Fuyu persimmons in this and other salads: they’re the compact persimmons that stay firm, even crunchy, when ripe (as opposed to Hachiya persimmons: the oblong-shaped variety with much softer flesh and a very astringent taste unless perfectly ripe). Persimmons are high in antioxidants including vitamin C…they can be a little hard to find in some areas, but are definitely worth seeking out.
This chicken salad doesn’t have a lot of mayonnaise: there’s just enough to bind all of the ingredients together and give it a slightly luxurious feel. Look for a mayo that’s made with olive oil, if possible (many of the vegetable oils used in commercial mayonnaise aren’t health promoting). I also like the Vegenaise that’s made with grape seed oil.
Recipe for Chicken Salad with Persimmons and Pecans
*2 cups cold, cooked shredded chicken (I used leftovers from the roast chicken recipe found here; you could also use leftover roast turkey
*1 ripe fuyu persimmon (about 1/2 cup chopped persimmon)
*1/2 cup chopped celery
*1/4 cup chopped pecans
*1/4 cup chopped red onion
*1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
*1/2 tablespoon Honey Ridge Farms Cranberry Chutney Honey Glaze" (or just use 1/2 tablespoon honey)
*fresh thyme leave- to taste (I used the leaves from 1-2 sprigs)
*salt and pepper to taste
Combine the ingredients in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve over greens, or with your favorite toasted bread (I like Udi's gluten-free whole grain bread). I also like this salad with rice crackers.

Los Angeles Angels (32-29)@
Colorado Rockies (24-35)
Sunday, June 10
(3-7) 5.74 era
(4-2) 5.85 era
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Mark Trumbo smacked a pair of three-run homers and the LA Angels of Anaheim completed a three-game sweep and won their ninth straight road game with a 10-8 triumph over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
Torii Hunter drilled a two-run shot among his three hits and added three RBI and three runs scored for the Angels, who have won 14 of their last 18 games.
"It's funny how offense comes in waves," Trumbo said. "Recently, it seems like every time I come up there's a situation to move somebody up or drive somebody in. I really enjoy that because it really narrows my focus a lot more."
Ervin Santana (3-7) was touched for seven runs on nine hits and a walk in 5 2/3 innings.
Christian Friedrich (4-2) was shelled for nine runs -- eight earned -- on 10 hits and three walks for the Rockies, who have dropped five straight contests.
"He had nothing for a strike but a fastball," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "He couldn't get his breaking ball over and had two badly misfired changeups that led to five runs."
Carlos Gonzalez hit a two-run homer while Tyler Colvin added a three-run shot for Colorado.
In a wild first two frames which saw four homers and 12 total runs scored, the game was tied at 6-6 after three, but Los Angeles surged ahead with a three- run fourth.
Hunter singled and Albert Pujols reached on an error before Trumbo launched a towering three-run shot that just cleared the fence and Gonzalez's outstretched glove in left for a 9-6 Los Angeles edge.
Colorado got a run back in the bottom half of the inning on Marco Scutaro's sacrifice fly, but Santana and the the Angels' bullpen clamped down and surrendered just a run over the final five frames.
Scutaro slapped a single to center to cut the deficit to 10-8 in the ninth, but Scott Downs was able to get Gonzalez on a bizarre double play.
Gonzalez laced a liner back to the mound, which Downs appeared to snag. He lost the ball on the transfer from his glove to his hand as he attempted to double up Scutaro at first, but the umpire ruled that he did not make the catch.
With Scutaro at first and Gonzalez not running out of the box, the Angels turned a 1-6-3 double play. An Tracy came out to argue the call and was ejected.
Todd Helton then popped out to end the game, giving Downs his sixth save of the season.
Earlier, Hunter poked an RBI single in the opening frame before Trumbo pulverized a hanging slider deep into the seats in left-center for a three-run shot and a 4-0 Angels lead.
Michael Cuddyer's RBI double in home half preceded Hunter's two-run blast over the wall in left-center for a 6-1 Los Angeles advantage in the second.
The Rockies, though, tied the score with a five-run bottom half as Colvin and Gonzalez drilled a three-run shot and two-run blast, respectively, into the rocks in dead center to knot the contest at 6-6.

document: The third game between the seniors and the freshmen for the class championship in base ball was stopped during the fourth inning by rain. The score at that time was 4 to 3 in favor of ninety-three. The freshmen were playing by far the steadier game, not having had an error in the four innings they were in the field. The seniors were doing the heavier batting; they secured eight hits off Wiggin in the four innings, but the excellent fielding of ninety-three forced them to earn all their runs, and thus held the score down. The feature of the game was Piper's clean home run along the left field foul line.

Zimmerman gets cortisone shot in right shoulder
Nats third baseman expected to undergo cleanup procedure in offseason
WASHINGTON -- Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman needed a cortisone shot in his right shoulder on Wednesday, his fourth this season. The last one came on June 24, and he went on a tear after receiving that injection, hitting .332 with 19 home runs, 62 RBIs and a .994 OPS in his next 75 games.
Zimmerman was in the starting lineup for both games of the doubleheader against the Dodgers.
Manager Davey Johnson then announced that Zimmerman will have minor surgery after the season. Zimmerman is expected to be ready for Spring Training.
"It's probably a cleanup. In this day and time, it's not a big deal," Johnson said. "He is going to have some treatment by [team medical director] Dr. Wiemi [Douoguih] prior to the game. It's not nearly as bad, but it has been acting up lately."
Zimmerman's shoulder has given him problems since early April. He landed on the 15-day disabled list because of shoulder inflammation and returned to action in early May.
The injury has not stopped him from having a solid season. Entering Wednesday, Zimmerman was hitting .284 with 22 home runs and 84 RBIs.
"He is playing great as far as I'm concerned," Johnson said. "The results from the [last cortisone shot was] so good and he felt so much better."
Espinosa plays despite bone bruise in shoulder
WASHINGTON -- Two days after it was revealed that he suffered a bone bruise in his left shoulder, Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa was hitting seventh against the Dodgers in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Before the game, Espinosa took batting practice with hitting coach Rick Eckstein observing. After the session ended, Espinosa and Eckstein spoke to manager Davey Johnson, who was convinced by Eckstein that Espinosa was ready to play.
"Eckstein said, '[Espinosa] looks good. He looks like his old self,'" Johnson said. "I said, 'He is only going to play one [game of the doubleheader] for me.' [Espinosa] turned around and said, 'Keep an open mind after I play the first one.' So, we'll see."
Espinosa went 2-for-4 in the first game and played spectacular defense, making a pair of diving plays in the 3-1 win.
Steve Lombardozzi started at second base in the second game.
At first, general manager Mike Rizzo thought the injury was a lot worse than expected, because it's rare when Espinosa reveals that he is injured.
"To have this guy even mention it at all, it kind of made me anxious, because he is as tough as they come," Rizzo said. "He is as old-school as they come. For him to mention it and suggest that he doesn't want an at-bat, it kind of alarmed me a little bit."

LA JOLLA, Calif. -
UC San Diego was defeated by San Jose State, 183-109, in a women's swimming and diving dual meet at Canyonview Pool on Sunday.
UCSD, ranked No. 3 nationally in the NCAA Division II, fell to 3-2. San Jose State improved to 5-1. The Division I Spartans, the defending Western Athletic Conference champions, had their athletes turn in the top marks in 13 of 16 events on the day.
Beth Dong produced the fastest times in a pair of individual events for the second day in a row. The senior went an even 5:03.00 in the 500 free before turning around and swimming 2:07.28 on the other side of a 10-minute break to take the 200 IM in her season debut in the event. She was able to hold off Andrea Chan (2:07.94) of the Spartans in the latter race while achieving another NCAA consideration qualifier.
Dong also was narrowly beaten to the wall earlier in the meet in the 200 fly, racing 2:04.37 behind only San Jose State's Ashlyn Acosta (2:04.25). Chan was third among an extremely tight pack in that one, touching in 2:04.56, with a mere 1.73 seconds separating places one through five.
Junior Anji Shakya, like Dong a co-captain, had the other top time for the Tritons, going 2:05.41 in the 200 back. She too had bested the field in two individual events on Saturday in a double-dual sweep of Division II opponents Grand Canyon and Cal State East Bay. Shakya also placed second in Sunday's 200 free in 1:51.56.
Other individual top-three performances for UCSD were Erika Rodman in the 1650 (3rd, 17:51.16), Sandy Hon in the 100 back (2nd, 58.84), Rosa Bebi in the 100 (3rd, 1:08.10) and 200 breast (2nd, 2:24.18), Amber Tan in the 50 free (3rd, 24.33), Mishka Hulka in one-meter (3rd, 201.75) and three-meter diving (3rd, 228.30), Katherine Tse in the 100 free (3rd, 53.15), Dari Watkins in the 500 free (3rd, 5:11.95) and Naomi Thomas in the 100 fly (3rd, 57.42).
The Triton ‘A' relays had the third- and second-fastest times, in the 200 medley and 200 free, respectively to bookend the meet, behind the Spartan ‘A' foursomes.
For San Jose State, Acosta (200 fly, 100 fly), Darcie Anderson (100 breast, 200 breast), Marisa DeWames (200 free, 100 free) and Amy Kilby (one-meter springboard, three-meter springboard) each won two individual events.
The UCSD men's and women's swimming and diving programs face two more home dates in the week ahead. On Friday, Jan. 11, Incarnate Word and the men of Missouri S&T are in town for a double-dual meet between Division II foes all ranked in the top-eight nationally, beginning at 2 p.m. The Tritons then host Missouri S&T, Cal State Bakersfield and the women of LMU on Saturday, Jan. 12, at 12 p.m. Admission to the Canyonview Aquatic Center is free.
Triton Notes: Sunday marked the first dual meeting between UC San Diego and San Jose State ... The two programs routinely match up at the annual Arena Invitational in Long Beach, with the Tritons finishing ninth behind the fifth-place Spartans in the latest edition of the meet this past November ... San Jose State exhibitioned the final two events of the meet ... For the second straight day, the Tritons were missing the likes of Jaclyn Amog and Olivia Fountain ... Allyson Cohen was also unavailable to compete in Sunday's diving events.
