Take a good look guys, because this is one of the few times you'll see this new tech as an interesting feature in an ad, soon it will become old hat.
Adlist has been chatting about it, opining that it's great new tech ...but kinda douchey. @caff weighed in saying you could swap out the logo for playboy and it still would have worked just fine, and that hits the nail on the head on why I'm not in love with this ad (despite the ossom hight-tech-nerdy angle). It actually works better for Playboy, or anything else that serves to give you the whole picture, rather than a perfume which once upon a time had fun advertising telling you that it magically attracts ladies - even recycled cans had that effect on women. These days Axe has lost their tone of voice and just slap ladies in lingerie all over. I can't tell if its a Victoria Secret ad sometimes. ;)

MADISON, Wis. (AP) Wisconsin center Travis Frederick says he's skipping his senior year to enter the NFL draft.
Frederick says forgoing his final year of eligibility was ``one of the toughest decisions in my life,'' but he says he believes he's ready for the NFL. In an open letter to his teammates, coaches and Wisconsin fans, Frederick says his time with the Badgers gave him ``the skills, techniques, and football IQ that I believe I need to be successful at the next level.'' Frederick started all 14 games this season for the Badgers, who lost to Stanford in the Rose Bowl on Tuesday.
Frederick will graduate with a degree in computer engineering this spring.

Qatar set to host major climate talks
(AP)—When the tiny desert nation of Qatar was chosen to host the latest round of United Nations climate change negotiations, environmentalists were stunned.
Talks were already in trouble, and now the high-level discussions were moving to a member of OPEC that had shown little interest in climate change and appointed a former oil minister to lead the negotiations, which start Monday. The country's economic boom, driven by vast oil and gas reserves, has led to free electricity for citizens and an abundance of gas-guzzling SUVs in the capital, Doha. It has also made Qatar the world's highest per capita carbon dioxide emitter.
"Nongovernment organizations had mixed feelings about it," said Wael Hmaidan, a Lebanese activist who is director of the Climate Action Network. "Some were very concerned and found it a threat knowing that Qatar has not been engaged in the climate change negotiations, while others found it an opportunity to get the climate debate higher on the political agenda of the region."
Activists complain Qatar has shown little leadership so far and been much less transparent than previous hosts of the annual climate conference.
Among the most vocal has been advocacy group Avaaz, which asserts that "having one of the OPEC leaders in charge of climate talks is like asking Dracula to look after a blood bank." It also criticized Qatari leaders for attending a big oil conference just ahead of the talks, a sign its priorities may misplaced.
But publicly, delegates have been careful to avoid criticizing the emirate. The top United Nations climate official said preparations are on track.
"I'm not concerned," said Christiana Figueres, the executive secretary of the United Nations Climate Change secretariat. "We are very grateful. Qatar not only offered, but literally fought for the opportunity and privilege of hosting."
"We have been impressed with work of the Qatar team and how they have brought themselves very quickly up to speed with the complexity of the issues," she said.
Hosting the conference is part of the tiny Gulf nation's campaign to project itself as a powerhouse on the world stage, after winning the bid to host the 2022 World Cup and backing rebellions in Libya and Syria.
It also offers the ruling family an opportunity to change perceptions about a region that in the past has seemed concerned only with protecting its vast oil and gas reserves from the impact of any climate agreement.
Qatar and its Persian Gulf neighbors insist that portrayal is outdated.
The United Arab Emirates has, for example, endorsed the extension of the Kyoto Protocol, which limits the greenhouse emissions of industrialized countries. It was also the first Gulf nation to sign on to the Copenhagen Accord supporting a long-term deal to reign in emissions.
Even Saudi Arabia, which in the past led opposition to a global agreement capping greenhouse gas emissions, has moderated its position and shaken up its negotiating team.
Leaders in the Gulf also are more vocally acknowledging the impact of climate change, endorsing the science that shows emissions are on rise and recognizing they are not immune to the impact of global warming. They also are promising to do their part to combat it.
"I describe Qatar as the epicenter of climate change. There is no water, no food. It's barren desert," said Fahad Bin Mohammed al-Attiya, chairman of Doha's COP18 organizing committee. "Any problems to harvest season or productivity outside the Gulf would immediately impact our ability to have access to food at reasonable global prices."
Qatar and the UAE have rolled out green building codes in an effort to shift away from energy-wasting high-rises that dominate the skyline. Qatar says it will produce 20 percent of its energy from renewables by 2024, while Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE have announced plans to invest heavily in solar power.
The UAE, which has set a target to generate 7 percent of its electricity from renewables by 2020, is home to the International Renewable Energy Agency and the government-run Masdar Institute, which has built the first phase of a pre-planned city powered by renewable sources. The UAE has also announced plans to build four nuclear reactors, the first of which should be operational by 2017.
"We don't want to continue to be seen as only an exporter of oil through barrels or gas through pipelines," said Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber, the chief executive officer of Masdar and UAE's Special Envoy for Energy and Climate Change.
"Our approach should be an energy mix approach where oil and gas continues to play a role, nuclear continues to play a catalytic role but the only energy source that will grow over time will be renewable energy," he said. "That is simply because the technology is maturing and the world better recognizes the need for advancing this technology."
Activists, though, want to see Gulf countries go further at the climate talks.
Former Irish President Mary Robinson said they should commit to voluntary emissions targets, like former conference host Mexico did. Gulf nations' total emissions are a fraction of China's and the United States', but setting targets would help inspire others to take action.
"Leadership of the Gulf countries is very important" she said at a meeting addressing climate change in Dubai.
Activists say they also could do more to cut fuel subsidies that make bottled water more expensive that gasoline in many Gulf countries, policies partly enacted to keep the lid on political dissent.
Others have called on the Gulf—which has some of the world's highest per capita incomes thanks to its vast petrodollars—to contribute to the U.N.'s Green Climate Fund. The fund aims to channel $100 billion annually by 2020 to aid to poor countries. So far, Gulf countries have contributed nothing.
"Qatar has a GDP per capita which is three times ours in Europe," EU Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard told The Associated Press. "Should ... also the Qataris come up with some financing? So we have tried to encourage them. I don't know what the response will be, but let's see."
Expectations are also high that the Gulf countries will play a more productive and public role in negotiations, after years in which only the UAE countered Saudi Arabia's obstructionist tactics and its widely-ridiculed demands that OPEC members be compensated for loss of oil revenues in any agreement—a move criticized by impoverished nations who would be forced to compete with the world's top oil producer for aid.
Those views have been moderated, al-Attiya said, as Gulf countries recognize efforts to diversify their economies are not as difficult and costly as they once seemed. Still, Gulf countries led by Saudi Arabia are demanding measures in any agreement that would assist them in shifting away from fossil fuels.
The Gulf countries want to have the right to use a diversity of energy sources, including both fossil fuels and renewables, said al-Attiya.
"It's not an excuse," al-Attiya said. "Every country wants that right, provided that right to diversify is governed by rules that say, for instance, you are not going to diversify at the expense of causing more damage to the environment."

Posts filed under 'Insolvency'
Debtors Prison
According to the Research Guide "Bankrupts and Insolvent Debtors:1710-1869" on the website of The National Archives (UK):
Until 1841, the legal status of being a bankrupt was confined to traders owing more than 100 pounds (reduced to 50 pounds in 1842). Debtors who were not traders did not qualify to become bankrupt, but stayed as insolvent debtors. Responsible for their debts but unable to pay them, they remained subject to common law proceedings and indefinite imprisonment, if their creditors so wished. … Insolvent debtors were held in local prisons, and often spent the rest of their lives there: imprisonment for debt did not stop until 1869.
Another ancestor of mine, Abraham WOOLF was imprisoned in the Debtors Prison, as this entry from the London Gazette of 1841 shows:
Shortly afterwards he came to trial, and fortunately his petition for release was granted. The following entry in the London Gazette gives more background about him – that he was currently a "General Dealer and Cigar Maker" and formerly a "Cigar Dealer and Ladies' Shoe Maker", as well as recent addresses:
In the documents at the National Archives in Kew, London, I could follow the progress of his imprisonment, petitions and release, however even the information available online on websites like The National Archives (UK) and The London Gazette tell me more about the life of this ancestor.
Even the price of his braces
I was searching State Records NSW (the NSW Government archives), looking for background information about my ancestor Samuel HOLMES (otherwise known as Samuel ETHERINGTON – but that's another story).
A "keyname search" (searching almost all the digital indexes) of the NSW State Records led me to the Insolvency Index, which informed me that Samuel HOLMES, a baker of Sydney, was declared insolvent in July 1862.
Insolvency was the inability to pay your debts, and was originally treated as different to Bankruptcy, which involved a person's assets being administered and distributed to creditors. Insolvency doesn't appear to have been particularly unusual – at least not amongst my ancestors – some of whom were declared insolvent or bankrupt a number of times in their lives.
Finding someone's name in an index should only be the beginning of the story. Almost invariably the full document holds more information than the index entry.
In this case Samuel was also declared bankrupt (in December 1862), and corresponding notices appeared in the NSW Government Gazettes of 1862. The Government Gazette notices were as business-like as any government notice, but the real gems were discovered in the original documents. Those documents can be seen at the Western Sydney Records Centre (of NSW State Records) at Kingswood. In Samuel's Insolvency file were all the invoices he could not pay.
If Samuel knew in July 1862 that he would be unable to pay his bills, it does not seem to have curbed his spending, as his September 1862 quarterly account from the David Jones (department store) indicates. This invoice includes: 6 white shirts (3 pounds), 6 Cambric handkerchiefs (1 pound, 5 shillings), 1 pair of braces (4 shillings) – and even a bottle of scent (another 4 shillings).
Such documents tell so much more about this ancestor (and his fashion sense!) than an unemotional announcement of his debts, and certainly rewarded the effort of obtaining the original records behind the index entry.

Georgia loses WR Mitchell to knee injury
Georgia receiver Malcolm Mitchell will miss the remainder of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Saturday's loss at Clemson.
Coach Mark Richt said Sunday that Mitchell will have season-ending surgery "in the near future."
Mitchell, the leading returning receiver for the No. 5 Bulldogs, hurt his knee when celebrating with a teammate following Todd Gurley's 75-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. No. 8 Clemson beat Georgia 38-35.
"He actually hurt it in the exuberance of the first touchdown of the game for us," Richt said on a conference call.
"He went to congratulate his teammate and I think they jumped up and chest-bumped or whatever and it ended up that he landed in a bad way. So he knew something happened. "
Richt said concerns Mitchell suffered a serious injury were confirmed by an MRI on Sunday.
Georgia opens its Southeastern Conference schedule against No. 6 South Carolina on Saturday.
Mitchell, a junior, was Georgia's leading returning receiver. He had a combined 85 catches for 1,237 yards and eight touchdowns in 2011 and 2012.
He played primarily at cornerback in the first four games last season before returning to offense.
Richt said he expects Mitchell will receive a medical redshirt and have two years of eligibility remaining, beginning with the 2014 season.
Mitchell left the game before having a reception. The injury leaves Georgia without its best deep threat at receiver.
"We've got other guys who have gone deep and can make plays for us, but Malcolm was certainly one guy who can do that," Richt said. "He had great, great speed, great quickness and he would snatch the ball in traffic. He was a great competitor."
Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray did not have a touchdown pass in the loss.
Michael Bennett led Georgia with five catches for 60 yards. Bennett played most of the game at Mitchell's split end position.
Justin Scott-Wesley had four catches for 55 yards and Chris Conley had a team-leading 67 yards receiving on three catches.
Richt said he and his staff must devise a new plan for the receivers.
"Bennett did play the majority of the game at the position and we've just got to see if that's the best situation for Michael or Georgia," Richt said. "We'll be trying to figure out what's the best way to line everybody up."

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Sahara is a stunning piece of work -- stunningly inept, stunningly incoherent, stunningly awful in every single way imaginable. How this didn't go direct to video or cable or airplane or bootleg is unfathomable. Actually, that's not entirely true. It gets a proper blockbuster theatrical release through Paramount Pictures because its director, Breck Eisner, is the son of former Paramount Pictures (and, till 2006, Walt Disney Company) boss Michael Eisner, who almost single-handedly demolished the Kingdom That Mickey Built. Which is not to insinuate that Daddy helped his son get the gig, since nepotism is as rare in Hollywood as gluttony, futility, and complacency, but when Breck has all the directorial instincts of Donald Duck, you can't help but start doing the movie-biz math, especially when one plus one equals a big fat zero in this instance. It takes particularly good connections to get a studio to release something this woefully incompetent. Either that, or somebody has pictures of somebody kept in a safe somewhere.
Or here's another theory: Michael got Paramount to release this heap only to make last year's National Treasure, a Disney release, look brilliant by comparison, since they're essentially the same movie -- meaning, slicked-up and dumbed-down versions of Raiders of the Lost Ark, with a touch of James Bond tossed in. National Treasure bore all the noisome hallmarks of its producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, but wasn't any fun even as a guilty pleasure, which is the absolute best thing you can say about his movies. Yet compared to Sahara, it's a work of crowd-pleasing, soul-stirring genius. Of course, it's a little like asking who was nicer, Stalin or Mussolini, but you get the point.
Sahara will be known for only one thing: It's where Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz met and fell in love, though both have insisted their relationship began after filming ended -- one of those who-gives-a-shit Us Weekly tidbits publicists plant in order to generate heat for a $160 million movie that arrives in the cineplex as cold as a corpse. Oddly, after seeing the movie, you'd think it was McConaughey (as treasure hunter Dirk Pitt) and Steve Zahn (as his sidekick) who hooked up, since they have more chemistry between them than anything McConaughey can cook up with Cruz, who plays a World Health Organization doctor who keeps reminding other characters she's a World Health Organization doctor, since they don't seem to believe her. (She doesn't seem to buy it either.)
The story, based on a novel by Clive Cussler, is such a messy tangle of twists and contrivances that for a good 45 minutes, Sahara doesn't make a bit of sense -- and by the time you do figure it out, there are still 82 minutes left to go, which makes this less an entertaining tease than an outright endurance test. What's most stunning is that Eisner and his army of screenwriters actually ejected from the story some of Cussler's more ridiculous plot machinations, including a missing female aviator modeled after Amelia Earhart, a kidnapped Abraham Lincoln, and the missing sarcophagus of a pharaoh who met his mummy some 2,500 years earlier. (Mind you, this information comes from the back cover of a paperback edition of Sahara, since the notion of reading Clive Cussler is about as appealing as sitting through one more movie based on his books.)
Initially the movie seems to have something to do with a Civil War-era Confederate ironclad that went missing at the end of the war, and along with it a treasure chest of gold coins. Then it's off to the African desert, where Cruz' Eva Rojas and her fellow WHO doc Glynn Turman are investigating a mysterious plague ravaging villages. Then it's off to Dirk and his crew, including a retired admiral played by what's-he-doing-here William H. Macy, salvaging a sunken treasure for a creepy industrialist played by Matrix Merovingian Lambert Wilson, who, at this point, doesn't need to do anything beside stand there silently to look like he's up to no good. Of course, he ain't: Wilson, in cahoots with a dictator named General Kazim (Lennie James), is operating a solar-powered nuclear waste disposal plant in the middle of the desert, which is poisoning the water supply via underground rivers, like they care. And did I mention the giant Civil War ship that ends up buried in the middle of the African desert?
If a movie's going to be this outrageous, this full of noise and nonsense, the least it could do is wink at us and pretend that it, too, acknowledges how ridiculous it is. But Sahara takes itself so seriously that when it tries to be funny, the laugh sticks in your throat, choking you like a sandstorm; poor Zahn, especially, stranded once more with the thankless task of riding comedy shotgun in a sinking ship. As for McConaughey and Cruz, one has to figure if a relationship can weather the making of so mighty a disaster, they're going to be together for a long, long time.

Hi guys im a little stuck atm and wonder if anyone could help me
I have a base abstract class and 3 classes that all inherit from it. These 3 classes are all different of course.
Now what i would like to do is to use an array of the baseclass to use overloaded functions from the derived classes.
My code compiles and runs but it doesnt call the derived functions it uses the abstract base class functions(i assume it does as the derived functions output dosent happen).
I may of done something wrong this is sort of how my code goes.
I had compile issues before so i added theCode:class bass { virtual void somefn()=0 {}; }// this isnt my actual class :) class a { virtual void somefn() } //ect ect a Aclass; b Bclass; c Cclass; base myarray[3] = {Aclass,Bclass,Cclass}; myarray[0].somefn(); //in my program this doesnt work how id like it toand now it compiles i can post the code but its spread over a few files.Code:{}
Sorry if i havent provided enough information im just thinking if somebody could give me an example of creating an array of type base with 3 different derived class objects in it and how to call its functions. yeah i know i dont ask for much
Thanks in advanced

The Jupiter 2 Kit2 1-3 grow light mover is the most reliable heavy-duty unit of its type in the world today. Manufactured since 1990 utilizing the very best quality components available these light movers are built to last and give trouble-free operation under the most extreme conditions.
By utilising the light mover, the angle of light incidence received by the lower leaves and stems will be continuously changing so the red to far-red ration will be kept at the correct levels. The Jupiter 2 ensures much healthier plant growth and even canopy distribution.
The Jupiter 2 also avoids burning and overheating of plants, by using a J2, you can effectively lower the lamp without risk of damage to provide a higher light intensity to your crop. Fixed lighting must be mounted at a height that significantly reduces the light intensity below the plant canopy.
The extremely strong track can be screwed directly to the ceiling or suspended from chains for convenience. When the motor reaches either end of the rail, switching is achieved by way of a " no fail " micro switch and metal slide bar. The variable 30-second microprocessor delay has been manufactured in-house to make sure it is totally reliable and gives the grower an exact and even light distribution for maximum results.
The Jupiter 2 can be built onto as your garden grows with additional components available to upgrade at any time. Start with Kit1or any other Kit# and then add crossbars and pushrods to take your Kit# right up to a Kit4.
Please note that the rail is now supplied in 2x 1mtr sections with joining pins. Position the pins accordingly and lightly tap the end of one section to insert (protect the end of the rail being struck)

INR of 2.0 What does this mean?
What an INR Level of 2.0 means
What happens when your blood is "therapeutic"
Having blood that is inside the therapeutic range assigned to you by your doctor means you are receiving the most effective treatment.
Treatment for an INR of 2.0
Since your International Normalised Ratio (INR) is inside your therapeutic range, your doctor may opt to maintain your current Warfarin therapy plan.
These are some scenarios you may experience:
If You're Experiencing Life-threatening Bleeding
Your doctor will give you a prothrombin complex concentrate and 10 mg of vitamin K1 by infusion. Your doctor may repeat if needed. This treatment is to stop the bleeding.
A prothrombin complex concentrate is a combination of blood clotting factors prepared from fresh-frozen human blood plasma. It's used to reverse the effects of Warfarin when bleeding occurs (e.g. in the brain or gut) requiring rapid action to accelerate coagulation (speed up clotting).1
How long an INR of 2.0 will last
Warfarin stays in the body for a long time. Every 20 to 60 hours, half the Warfarin in your body will be gone (metabolized).8 A single dose of Warfarin can last two to five days in your body. 7
If your Warfarin dosage was recently changed, the change in dosage may not make a notable difference in your INR for around 72 to 96 hours (three to four days). 9
When you should have another INR test
Since your INR of 2.0 is in the target range you should test at least ONCE every four weeks.2
These are some additional reasons you may need to test your INR more frequently:
When You First Begin Warfarin Therapy
When you're starting out with Warfarin, you should be monitored by your doctor 4-5 times a week until there's consistency with your INR test results.
Changes To Your Medications or Condition
When there are changes to medications you're taking or your medical condition You need to test more frequently because drugs and dietary changes can significantly interact with your Warfarin therapy.
When You Use Warfarin and Heparin at the Same time
When you are using Warfarin and Heparin You need to test more frequently and closely monitor your INR Level because the effect of heparin on your INR Level can lead to over-estimation of the therapeutic level of your Warfarin therapy.
What a target INR range of 2 to 3 means
Your INR target range is between of 2.0 to 3.0, which is preferred for people with the following conditions:1
- Treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) - blood clot in leg
- Treatment for pulmonary embolism (PE) - blood clot in lung
- Prophylaxis of venous thrombosis (high-risk surgery)
- Tissue heart valves
- Acute Heart Attack
- Valvular heart disease
- Atrial fibrillation
When You Are in Your Target INR Range
It is safer when you are in your target INR range, because the risks of an INR lower than your target range could indicate potential clots and an INR higher than your target range could indicate potential bleeding events.
How Warfarin "thins" the blood
Warfarin, also known by the brand name Coumadin® does not actually "thin" the blood or dissolve clots. Instead, it increases the time your body takes to clot by blocking the clotting factors that let your blood clot. So, after a clot has occurred, the goal of blood thinners is to prevent further extension of the blood clot and prevent future clots. Your body will naturally break down the blood clot while the blood thinner prevents additional clots from forming and prevents current clots from growing or dislodging and getting stuck somewhere else.7 However, saying that is a mouth full, so most often a Warfarin patients' blood is referred to as "thin" or "thick."
In addition, Warfarin does not reverse ischemic tissue damage (damage to your tissue when it is deprived of oxygen from a clot).

Tipster to FBI: Hoffa was hit with shovel, buried alive
- Zerilli selling book about Hoffa at his website
- He says Hoffa was buried alive under a cement slab
- Former prosecutor says Zerilli could be most credible source yet
DETROIT -- The attorney for the tipster who led the FBI to a field in Oakland Township, Mich., on Monday said the former mobster is relieved and hopeful there will be an end to mystery of Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance.
Anthony J. Zerilli, who recently published a manuscript about his claims that is sold online at HoffaFound.com, told agents that mobsters buried Hoffa alive on the property in 1975, after kidnapping him from a Bloomfield Township restaurant.
Zerilli's lawyer, David Chasnick, said Zerilli has been waiting at least eight months for the FBI to follow up on his tip. Zerilli was in jail when Hoffa disappeared, but is the son of a Detroit mafia boss.
"Peace," Chasnick said is the reason Zerilli came forward. "Wanting to get it off his chest, and get peace for the family. His age – he's 85 years old, he's getting older. … I think the people who are written about in the manuscript are deceased."
Chasnick said Zerilli, who lives in metro Detroit, came by the dig site Monday but was intimidated by the large amount of media gathered.
He said the claims are not part of a ploy to sell the Zerilli manuscript online.
"Obviously the FBI doesn't consider it's a ploy, or they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of getting an affidavit and a warrant," Chasnick said.
Zerilli describes himself as a good friend of the former Teamsters president. He claims he learned about Hoffa's disappearance from the "inner circle" of the Detroit mafia.
"There was an old house with an old barn on the property," Zerilli wrote, according to a copy of the manuscript handed out by a man near where FBI agents are digging. "As soon as they pulled near the barn, Hoffa was dragged out of the car, and bound and gagged. A shallow hole was already dug in the barn floor. He put up a fight, but he was easily overpowered. …(One of the men) picked up a shovel and cracked Hoffa over the head with it. …They threw him into the hole, and buried him alive. He wasn't shot, he wasn't stabbed, nothing like that. A cement slab of some sort was placed on top of the dirt to make certain he was not going to be discovered. And that was it. End of story."
Just after 11 a.m. Monday, a large truck pulling a trailer carrying a backhoe pulled onto the property. By 2 p.m., the digger was moving about the large, grassy field, surrounded by yellow police tape, a swarm of television satellite trucks and media waiting down the dirt road.
Detroit's FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Foley III told those gathered only that the dig was about the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.
Hoffa's daughter, Barbara Crancer, a retired state judge in St. Louis, said the FBI called her Sunday to alert her of the search, and she's closely following it online. She said she hadn't heard Zerilli's story until he came forward several months ago.
"We never get our hopes up," said Crancer. "We'll just let the FBI do their job, and we'll see what happens. That's all we can do. I want everybody to know that I appreciate the FBI following up on this."
Former federal prosecutor Keith Corbett, who was also at the site Monday, said Zerilli may be the most credible person to come forward with information on Hoffa's disappearance.
"He would have been somebody who would have been in the position to know," said Corbett. "Any time you make an assessment that there's reasonably credible information, it would be irresponsible not to follow that down. You can't say 'Well, the chance is one-in-ten.' If you miss that one-in-ten, what have you done? And the bureau has been looking for Hoffa for so long, this is a lead they have to pursue."

Saving for college is not for the faint of heart. The cost of an education has been spiraling upward and although there are some fine 529 plans to help, the numbers can be mind-boggling.
For men and women who own their own businesses, there are a few tips that can help them create a "tax scholarship" for their children, according to William Cummings, president and owner of Cummings Financial Organization, a money management firm based in Tampa, Fla.
"Hopefully people start planning early," said Cummings, who used his ideas to help put his three children through college. Owning his own business gave him the chance, he said, to take advantage of IRS rules to help pay the tuition bills.
Cummings, who calculates that the cost of a year of public school tuition could rise past $33,000 by the 2020 academic year, offers tips that anyone can use to reduce the cost of college. They include living at home, establishing in-state residency and placing 529 plan savings in the name of a grandparent, thereby increasing the chances a student will be eligible for student aid programs.
(It's worth noting that while 529 plans held by grandparents are not reportable on the federal student aid application, using the account to pay for college will affect the student's aid eligibility the following year.)
There are also various tax credits, including the Lifetime Learning Credit, which allows parents to deduct $2,000 of educational expenses per year for dependent children.
Any strategy to help ease the tuition burden must be weighed against the tax consequences to the prospective student and the parents, Cummings says.
Parents, Cummings said, shouldn't be too quick to borrow against or slow their retirement plan contributions. It might be better, he said, to use student loans or aid, "because you can't get a scholarship for retirement."
For small-business owners, here are Cummings' 5 Tax Tips to Pay for College Without Going Broke:
1. Hire Your Children
Giving the kids the chance to work is a good way to shift income. This helps because they probably won't earn enough to owe taxes. The money can be set aside in an IRA or other investment vehicle. For example, if a child does office work or painting or lawn mowing on rental properties for, say $2,500 per year, the savings can build up over several years before high school graduation. Cummings says it's important to document the job and ensure that the work is legitimate.
2. Stock Transfer
Putting stock owned by parents in the name of a child can save tax payments. Beware, Cummings says, of the so-called kiddie tax, though, that mandates children can make at most $2,000 per year in unearned income using this strategy. Anything above that is subject to the tax rate of the parents.
3. Tuition Reimbursement
Offering employees tuition reimbursement for taking college courses can lower costs because of the tax benefits associated with such programs. The IRS puts a cap of $5,250 on such a program. It's important that all employees receive the same benefits. In other words, the children of the business owner can't receive a benefit not available to other employees.
4. Gift or Leaseback
By making a gift of a piece of property to a child and then leasing it back, the money saved in lower tax payments can be put toward paying for college, as can any lease payments. Beware of the kiddie tax mentioned in No. 2, which applies up to age 24 unless the child is no longer a dependent of the parents.
5. Divorce Planning
For couples no longer married, but able to work on college strategies together, there are ways to maximize tax benefits. Generally, such planning involves deciding which parent claims a deduction for the child as a dependent, leaving the other free to take advantage of tax saving rules while avoiding the kiddie tax.

Profile of UH Manoa Fall 2013 freshman class enjoys increasesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Communications, Chancellor's Office
Due to extraordinary success in graduating students, enrollment this semester at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa is slightly down compared to a year ago. But the campus was proud to welcome a Fall 2013 freshman class that is notable for its high caliber, namely, the number of students ranked in the Top 10 percent of their high school graduating classes, elevated SAT scores, and strong representation of local public high schools.
Based on specific info from the UH Mānoa Institutional Research Office, a review of Fall 2013 data on UH Mānoa freshmen demonstrates an increase in:
- Total number of freshmen, including first-time students skipping freshman status and entering as sophomores: 2,011 in Fall 2013, up from 1,994 in Fall 2012. A number of entering students have earned enough college credits in high school to qualify them as sophomores, thereby skipping their freshman status completely.
- Number of freshmen who ranked in the Top 10 percent of their high school classes: 27.3 percent in Fall 2013, up from 24.1 percent in Fall 2012.
- Mean scores of enrolled freshmen's SAT scores in Math (a Fall 2013 mean score of 561, up from 556 in Fall 2012) and Reading (a Fall 2013 mean score of 531, up from 530 in Fall 2012).
- Number of freshmen who are Hawai'i public high school graduates: 66.6 percent in Fall 2013, up from 62.2 percent in Fall 2012.
"We are excited that so many qualified high school graduates have launched their journeys toward higher education degrees at UH Mānoa," said Chancellor Tom Apple. "Also, because more high schools locally and nationally are offering AP courses, some of our first-time students have vaulted completely over freshman status to become sophomores, thereby facilitating faster graduation rates."
According to official enrollment statistics released earlier today by UH System, UH Mānoa's Fall 2013 enrollment was 19,912, down 2 percent or 408 students compared to a year ago. The decline in enrollment was primarily due to a dip in the number of graduate students.

Kids, if someone promises you a video game! if you let them borrow a bottle of mom's pills without telling mom, that's bigtime STRANGER DANGER and you need to tell McGruff the Crime Dog.
Cops in Portsmouth, N.H. on Sunday arrested a woman by the name of Shannon Leathers and charged her with bribing a 9-year-old to steal Percocet from his mom and give it to her. A video game was the lure, though the news report doesn't say what. (Please be M-rated, please be M-rated ...)
Moms, of course, are paid to notice shit. They got that Momdar. And it didn't take Nancy Drew to figure out Percocet just does not get up and walk away. Never mind how Leathers expected him to keep this particular game a secret from his mom. When I was nine, my mom knew everything I owned. Anything out of place was probably stolen.
So the kid, questioned about the pills, immediately confessed to the deal with Leathers and that brought in the law. Leathers is in the slammer facing felony counts of possessing a narcotic, criminal solicitation, receiving stolen property and a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child. Probably why she looks so unhappy in her booking photo, at the link.

Escaped prisoner enters plea in Kansas case
Timothy Whittington arrested on July 25
A prisoner who walked away from a halfway house in Leavenworth has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of escape from custody.
Timothy Whittington admitted Monday that he left the Grossman Community Corrections Center in Leavenworth on July 19 and reported to work at a convenience store in Kansas City, Kan. Video footage showed him removing $1,500 from the safe before leaving work.
He never returned to the halfway house. Authorities arrested him on July 25.
Sentencing was set for March 11. The plea deal included a recommendation for a 20-month sentence.
Whittington had been initially sentenced in 2006 to 103 months for possession of a short-barreled shotgun. He had been transferred to the halfway house in April to serve the remainder of his sentence before escaping.

WASHINGTON - The General Services Administration's internal watchdog said Wednesday that employees are heeding his call to report wrongdoing, and messages on his hotline have triggered new investigations beyond an $823,000 Las Vegas conference and junkets to resorts.
"I don't know what we're going to find but it has not been pretty," Inspector General Brian Miller told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
Miller previously revealed that GSA officials in Western states went on taxpayer-financed junkets to Hawaii, South Pacific islands, California's Napa Valley and Palm Springs; stayed in resort hotel suites, and threw lavish parties. His April 2 report detailed how four Western regions partied at their Las Vegas conference in 2010, which featured a clown, a mind-reader, a team-building exercise to build bicycles and a rap video making fun of the spending.
Miller previously said that employees would not blow the whistle on the misconduct because they believed they would be "squashed like a bug" for doing so.
"The result of the release of the report is that people are coming forward now," he said. "They are calling the (inspector general's) hotline.
The Democratic-led Environment committee struck a somewhat different tone than two Republican-run House hearings this week that featured those who allowed or participated in the misconduct.
While the outrage over GSA spending has been bipartisan, the Senate panel only summoned Miller and Acting GSA Administrator Daniel Tangherlini, the two officials who are playing key roles in changing the free-spending culture at the GSA.
"We got the two good guys here," said Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., his party's ranking Republican on the committee.
In a dig at the House hearings, Chairman Barbara Boxer said, "We're not looking for photo ops of people taking the Fifth." This was a reference to the San Francisco-based regional executive, Jeffrey Neely, who hosted the Las Vegas conference and went on a number of trips after the inspector general warned top officials about his excessive travel.
Neely asserted his right to remain silent at one House hearing and failed to appear at a second. Miller has referred his case to the Justice Department for a criminal investigation and said he made other criminal referrals.
Boxer, D-Calif., said the committee's goal is "to make sure we don't have a repeat of this nightmare." She said Miller and Tangherlini needed to keep "shaking this tree and letting these bad apples fall. This (Western) region went wild on you. They went rogue."
Tangherlini said he's moving to remove some of the autonomy by the 11 GSA regions that permitted the Western regions to spend freely without getting caught. The inspector general only learned of the misconduct after a GSA official in Washington was told about it and asked him to investigate.
Tangherlini added the agency's chief financial officer will now have full access to spending in all the regions and he would end the blurred lines that made it unclear who regional officials reported to.
Miller said the ultimate deterrent to misconduct is criminal prosecution. He said, "We are doing all we can to identify those committing fraud and crimes and referring them to the Department of Justice for prosecution."

The plan & circuit scheme of Museum
The Erebuni Fortress, Yerevan was built in the last quarter of the 8th century BC by King Argishti I. The Erebuni Fortress, Yerevan is a Urartuan stronghold which is situated within the city area. The archaeological remains found here proves the existence of the people of these area for three thousand years. It is one of the most visited Tourist attractions in Yerevan. The excavations here have revealed palaces, temples and also domiciles of antiquity on the extensive premises. Renovations are going on to restore the buildings and walls of these structures. One can also find certain well-preserved items at the site. Yerebuni is one of the biggest towns on Arin-berd hill on the south east end of Yerevan. Historical records say that Yerebuni was constructed by Argihti I in 782 BC. The layout of the Fortress was made very orderly with the town neighborhoods being located at the foot of a hill. A Fortress is placed on the top that dominates the surrounding area. The Erebuni Fortress in Armenia overlooks the town and the Ararat plain along with its settlements.
To the south western side of the yard is the temple of God Khadi. The temple is an oblong large hall along with an auxiliary room along with a staircase that leads to the tower roof. Also to be seen is an open 12 column portico having double rows of columns, probably the place for the garrison to be drawn up. Yerubani lost its importance after the construction of Teishebaini, but retained its infrastructure after the fall of Urartu in the 7th century BC. But in the 54 centuries BC, life here resumed under Akhemenid Viceregents. Erebuni Museum of History (Armenian: Էրեբունու թանգարան) of Foundation of Yerevan was established in 1968. The opening of the museum was timed to coincide with the 2750th anniversary of Yerevan. The Museum stands at the foot of the Arin Berd hill, on top of which the Urartian Fortress Erebouni has stood since 782 BCE. The City-Fortress was excavated, some parts of the structure were reinforced and restored, and the fortress was turned into an outdoor Museum. Gagik Gyurjyan is a director of the museum since 2009.
A cuneiform inscription testifies that the city was built by Argishti I the King of Urartu in 782 BCE. The majority of the fortress was built from raw bricks. The citadel was encircled by strong walls in some places built in three rows. The temple of God Khaldi occupied an important place in the fortress. The walls of the temple were decorated with numerous frescos. Archeologists have found giant karasses (pitches for storage of wine) buried in the ground. Ceramics, potter's wheels and other articles used in everyday life were also unearthed during excavations. There is huge collection of artifacts, sups, jars, bronze bracelets, glass, agate beads and many other things that tell us about the life of the citadel, the tastes and habits of its inhabitants. The building of the Museum that houses 12,235 exhibits was constructed by architects Baghdasar Arzoumanian and Shmavon Azatian and sculptor A. Harutiunian. It has two branches in Shengavit and Karmir Blur with 5,288 and 1,620 exhibits respectively in stock.
Souvenirs' shop in Museum
In Erebuni museum we have a gifts' and souvenirs' shop inside where you can buy different type of souvenirs relating to a particular topic.

This video offers a glimpse of the various commercially available piezomotors by Physik Instrumente (PI). Piezomotors come in various designs, which are optimized for different applications. Parameters such as speed, cost, holding force, pushing force, size, and stability can be influenced by different designs. The PI Piezomotors are extremely compact, cost-effective, and suitable for linear and rotary motion. The PiezoWalk motors have forces up to 1000 N, offer sub-nanometer resolution, and include a self-locking drive.
The piezomotors are equipped with a highly stable piezo ratchet and position encoder. They have a resolution of 20 nm. The Mini-Rod has nanometer precision, sensor option and a holding force of 10 N. These piezomotors hold application in several fields such as micromanipulation, automation, biotechnology, sample manipulation, sample positioning, applications with limited space, etc.

JadeLiquid Software has released LiquidTest, a tool that lets you find defects as they occur. Built on Browser Automation, LiquidTest consists of an Eclipse rich client application (and Plug-in) for recording Browser actions in Firefox and Internet Explorer and outputting test cases in Java, Junit, and TestNG, C# NUnit, Ruby, and Groovy.
Core LiquidTest functionality includes:
- Browser Automation -- Firefox and Internet Explorer
- Cross-platform script generation and execution
- Easy recording and replay of test cases
- Integrations with JUnit, Continuous Integration, Eclipse, .NET and other frameworks
- Language support for Java, C# (.NET), Groovy and Ruby
- IDE plugins (Eclipse) and standalone, and headless server component
- Open SDK for plugins and custom integrations
- Headless test case execution and scalable across a Grid
- Data-driven support: Powerful GUI, and direct support for Excel spreadsheets
- Advanced testing features: Expectation model -- no sleeps. Drag-and-drop support.
The LiquidTest framework comes in three editions:
- The LiquidTest Developer Edition complements developers Agile software development practices by integrating Functional Tests (as Unit Tests) into their Software Development Process. LiquidTest supports headless test case execution which allows for regression tests at every step of the build process. Support for Continuous Integration means that the LiquidTest Server can be integrated on your Continuous Integration machine and utilized in an Automated test execution manner to provide complete Functional and Acceptance Test coverage.
- The LiquidTest Server Edition is a Server component specifically designed to add support for headless LiquidTest test case execution on Continuous Integration servers.
- The LiquidTest Tester Edition is designed for Test and Quality Assurance teams that have less technical knowledge than the Development team. LiquidTest Tester Edition outputs concise scripts in LiquidTest Script (Groovy derivative) which in turn is powerful but not syntactically complicated. LiquidTests recorded with the Tester Edition can be replayed with the Developer Edition and vice-versa. This provides close integration between Development and Test/QA teams.
A free 30-day trial version of LiquidTest can be downloaded here.

Patriot launches AERO wireless storage device and media hub for mobile data hogs
Patriot has just announced a new addition to its collection of storage offerings called the AERO. As the name suggests, the new device is of the wireless variety, which Patriot hopes will garner favor with owners of memory-light tablets and smartphones. To reinforce this ambition, there is of course a companion app -- Patriot Connect -- for Android and iOS that turns the device into a mobile media hub. With hooks for 3rd party media players, it hopes to overcome any format barriers, and there's also an internet pass through feature to let multiple users hit the web on the same IP. There are two capacities on offer -- 500GB and 1TB -- both with WiFi b / g / n, capacity for five connected devices, USB 3.0 and up to six hours of life on the rechargeable battery. The larger of the two will cost $199, dropping to $159 if you don't need so much storage. Both ship in early April.

- Caron International's Simply Soft (100% acrylic; 6 oz/170 g, 315 yds/288 m skein): 2 skeins CC. Shown in: #9503 Woodland Heather (MC); #9707 Dk Sage (CC).
- One size US H-8 (5mm) crochet hook, or size to obtain gauge.
- Craft felt to match yarn—1/2 yd/0.5m (for lining)
- Yarn needle
Finished Size: Tote measures approximately 14"/35.5 cm wide x 10"/25.5 cm high x 4"/10 cm deep
Gauge: In pattern (Front), with two strands held together, 13 sts and 10 rows = 4"/10cm.
In single crochet, with two strands held together, 13 sts and 14 rows = 4"/10cm.
- Tote is worked holding two strands of yarn together throughout.
- To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over; yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Do not cut old color; carry colors not in use up side of work.
With 2 strands of MC held together, chain 47.
Row 1 (RS): 2 dc in fifth ch from hook (beginning ch counts as 1 ch of foundation ch and first dc), *skip next ch, 2 dc in next ch; repeat from * across to last 2 ch, skip next ch, dc in last ch, do not turn—44 dc. Drop, but do not cut, MC.
Row 2 (RS): Join CC with sc in first dc of Row 1 (top of beginning ch), *ch 1, skip next 2 dc, sc in space before next dc (between 2-dc groups); repeat from * across to last 3 dc, ch 1, skip next 2 dc, sc in last dc; change to MC in last sc, turn—22 sc, and 21 ch-1 spaces. Drop, but do not cut, CC.
Row 3 (WS): With MC, ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), 2 dc in each ch-1 space across, dc in last sc, do not turn. Drop, but do not cut, MC.
Row 4 (WS): Pick up CC at opposite end of row by drawing up a loop in the first dc (top of beginning ch), ch 1, sc in same dc, *ch 1, skip next 2 dc, sc in space before next dc (between 2-dc groups); repeat from * across to last 3 dc, ch 1, skip next 2 dc, sc in last dc; change to MC in last sc, turn.

Cut three linings from craft felt, one each for Front, Back and Bottom. The linings should be about 1/4"/0.5 cm smaller than the crochet pieces along all edges. Tack linings into place on WS of pieces, leaving room in stitch work to crochet Front, Back and Bottom together. Note: Bottom lining should be on opposite side from slip st rim (Round 14).
Hold WS of Front and Back together. Working through both thicknesses, join CC with slip st in top corner, sc in end of each row along one side. Fasten off. Repeat to join opposite side. Hold joined Front and Back section and Bottom with WS together. Center short ends of Bottom against side seams of Front and Back. Arrange lower edges of Front and Back around edges of Bottom.

Vintage crocheted tote is simple design and easy to make. You can always use totes! Beginner projects are quick.

Love this pattern. This will make a great little tote to take to the farmers market this summer for all my veggies. I re-enforced the inside with material instead of using felt, and also used the handles to make the sides a little firmer. This worked up so nicely, might make a few more for my friends. Thanks for sharing.
love 2 learn
Apr 19, 2013
Great pattern! Enjoyed watching it come together as I was making it. I used matching fabric as opposed to felt for the lining! Loved the piece once it was completed!

I like them both, but if I was going to make one it would be this one. It looks simpler to make and is more my style anyway. The other one is nice, but just a little bit too girly for me.

Definitely makes sense now that I've read ShelleyJ's explanation. Thank you! I'm new to crocheting and am looking forward to working on this project and hopefully many more.
swingo 4008372
Feb 27, 2011
definitely on my to do list...thank you
Jun 23, 2010
ShelleyJ, No, not 2 rows because not only do you not cut the yarn, you do not turn either. Drop the main color (pull a long loop or put a pin in the last loop so the stitches don't come out) then go back to your beginning and join your 2nd color with a single crochet into the first double crochet of row 1. You have to notice which rows tell you to turn and which do not. Hope this helps.
Jun 17, 2010
Can someone please help me? The early rows of this pattern seem wrong to me. In row one you 'drop' the main color. Row 2 has you using the contrasting color, but at the end of that row, they want you to use the MC, which is at the opposite end. Shouldn't there be 2 rows with the contrasting color so you can get back to the end of the row to pick up the main color. thanks for your help! Shelley

blabsforbullies wrote:Was the concentration of the urine (1.010) the very first morning urine? That tends to be the best concentration value for checking kidney function. Also, a good indication as to how the kidneys are functioning is by checking the protein/ ratio.
I have patients that have both cardiac and renal disease, and it isn't easy to deal with sometimes. To treat one, you could make the other worse. I think having the cardiologist evaluate the function is a great place to start.
Yes, the teeth are important, but wait to find out what the status of the heart function is before trying anything. It's also important to monitor what you do with respect to the kidneys too, because sometime the bones, etc have high protein levels and that isn't good for the kidneys.
I am so sorry. I hope it isn't as bad as it initially looks, and we are sending good thoughts your way!
The urine concentration was 10/10, normal is 10/30, and a dehydrated dog is 10/40. So his kidneys are not holding any water. Thats why he drinks/pees so much. And because his creatinine level is 2.7(?) and the norm is below1.8(?) And the RNN(?) was 28 which is on the high side of normal (normal ends at 29) So the kidneys are not filtering like they should ether. So the kidneys are not doing jack $hit! I need to find a food that is low in protein, and phosphate(?) anyone know of a good one?
We will see what the Cardio. says.
Thanks again for all the love!

Looking for a way to setup 2 ISPs in failover mode, for both incoming & outgoing traffic, for our small (<100 devices) network.
The leading contender for now seems to be the Peplink Balance 310. However, a reseller I spoke with said it's great for 100% outgoing connectivity, but didn't seem to be confident in its abilities to handle incoming traffic. This is important as we host our own web site, Exchange e-mail, and virtual desktops (RDP).
Do any Peplink owners use this for failover of incoming traffic?
Are there other devices I should be considering? We're currently using a Cisco 1800 series router & ASA 5500 series firewall, with Comcast & T-1 lines (the goal being to replace the T with DSL/FiOS {whenever that becomes availble}).
Price range: ~$1000 - $2500 USD.

Miami sends a message to Chicago with physical play.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Miami getting tough for the playoffs
James Jones gets ejected with a flagrant-2, Dwade gets a flagrant-1, and LeBron James levels John Lucas with a bone crushing pick as Miami lets Chicago know this is a tougher Miami Heat team than last year.
Not much was really on the line in terms of the standings last night as the Heat and Bulls met for their last regular season game, but plenty was on the line as far as builing momentum for the playoffs. Clearly, Miami had an agenda to play more physical and that's exactly what they did. In the process they also dominated the paint, grabbed more boards, and won the game 83-72 as James went off for 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists.
