My Custom MOTUC's http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/album.php?u=36694
I've played the game so many times I had close to 250,000 crystals.
Best level to farm gems is 3-1, just keep killing and breaking stuff and try not to get hit to keep a high multiplier.
Beat the game as She Ra, and I gotta say, she's a lot weaker than He-Man is. Her special moves suck outside of the thrust, her stomp has a pathetic hitbox compared to He-Man's Aerial Smash, she doesn't have much crowd control, she doesn't have upgrades for her moves and her attacks seem to have more recovery. She's pretty disappointing unless you want to count her as hard mode.
Just noticed that I can now buy all the lores I was missing before the new the update. Wonder if they were never in the game or if they just decided to let you buy all the ones that were more difficult to find?
I don't really find She-Ra's agility all that useful, especially in the later levels where you're stuck in rooms where you really miss He-Man's better damage and crowd control. And the bosses in the game weren't even hard to begin with (Giga Skeletor is harder with She-Ra through.)
Also forgot to mention She-Ra lacks an anti air attack, damn wizards are even worse now.
Hopefully we get to play as Tytus next.
Yeah, so far it's fun. I didn't find any lore in 3-3 or 3-4. I have been writing down what lore is in what level so we'll have a list.
Have constant patience and die a reason.
just updated my iphone apps and had no idea that She-Ra was a major new update. She moves really quick and those jumps! wow.

I'm really digging She-Ra's speed and jumping ability. He-Man seems so sluggish to me now. But it is challenging to beat the mini bosses due to her lack of power. This add on was a pleasant holiday surprise.
I compare her to using Chun-Li instead of Ryo in Street Fighter.

Dubbed the "She-Ra" update, the free download adds the Princess of Power to the core game as a playable character. Literally, you can play every level in the game as She-Ra. And it isn't just a skin -- She-Ra has different powers and uses different items.
On the technical front, this update adds a new virtual button control scheme. A few bugs have been squashed, too, and the game has seen some nebulous optimization tweaks.

I Love the new update.
Her Stiletto stomp is actually pretty awesome. It's not as heavy as He-Man's, but she does it non-stop extremely fast til someone like Megator or the other giant dies.
Power Trust is really fun with the earlier bad guys.
Air Dance and Honor dodge are kind of the same?
Swift Wind is a great boss killer.
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
I beat the game this morning as She-Ra and it was fun. Her agility and jumps make her much easier to avoid boss attacks, she's like a pinball. Glitter wave is much more useful than He-Man's throwing axe, especially against the flying mages/witches.
Swift Wind is also really useful against bosses, almost like summoning the power of Grayskull.
So I completely disagree that her special powers are useless or that's she's harder to beat the game with. You need to use what you have and let go of how you played with as He-Man.
After I beat the game, I spotted Battle Cat in the game as the credits were rolling. If Swift Wind is such a monster, can't wait til they let us use him.
I am stoked that She-Ra has been added! I downloaded the update but now the game keeps crashing whether I play She-Ra or He-Man.

It shouldn't be surprising that Helix Charter High placed nine players on the first- and second-team All-CIF football squads announced this week. The San Diego Section Division II champ Highlanders, who play for a state tile on Saturday, dominated the list of names selected by a panel of media members under the auspices of the San Diego Hall of Champions.
Six Helix players were named to the first team, including quarterback Brandon Lewis, who also was tabbed as offensive player of the year. Teammate Kacy Smith, a linebacker, was on the first-team defense and earned defensive player of the year honors.
Running back Darrion Hancock, defensive linemen Amu Milo and Gary Thompson, and defensive back Jimmy Pruitt also represented the Highlanders on the first team.
Wide receiver Cameron Lee, offensive lineman Augie Lugo and linebacker Rocky Fuga were named to the second team.
Eight other schools in communities covered by Patch sites also were represented on the All-CIF football teams:
Mount Miguel: Running back Derrick Dunn and defensive lineman Cory Littleton were chosen to the first team, with Malcolm Jackson named as a defensive lineman on the second team.
Santana: Wide receiver Landon Lozoya was a first-team selection, with defensive lineman Jason Patterson and tight end TD Gross on the second team. Sultans coach Dave Gross earned coach of the year honors.
Mar Vista: The Mariners used a dominating ground game to have one of their finest seasons ever, with offensive lineman Sean Sullivan opening holes as a first-team choice and Jordan Lertique anchoring the defense as a second-team defensive back.
Coronado: Hunter Corpus made the All-CIF second team as a tight end.
Poway: The Titans placed three players on the first-team defense, including defensive lineman Brian Guendling, linebacker Alec Moreno and defensive back Derek Babiash.
Ramona: On the second-team offensive line is Bulldogs standout Kwayde Miller.
La Costa Canyon: Offensive lineman Erik Magnuson earned first-team honors, with defensive lineman Scott Quessenberry on the second team.
Oceanside: Grant Bays was a first-team defensive line pick, with linebacker William Gulley, offensive lineman Eduardo Middleton and defensive back Daniel Cedillo on the second team.

Getting Started with Quake
Quake is one of the coolest games available for any platform. Thanks to Dave Taylor, who began id Software's tradition of porting their games to Linux back in 1995 with Linux Doom, today we have Quake for Linux. This article is meant to be a quick start to getting Quake running on your Intel Linux system. If you encounter problems not addressed here, look at the Linux Quake HOWTO at http://www.linuxquake.com/howto for more detailed troubleshooting information.
Figure 1. Player about to capture the blue flag in the "Capture the Flag" game
The minimum system requirements for Quake are shown in the "System Requirements" sidebar. To install Quake on your Linux system, you will need some flavor of the official Quake distribution from id—either the retail DOS/Windows CD-ROM from a software store, or the shareware version downloaded from the Net. Alternatively, if you already have Quake installed on a DOS/Windows machine, you can use the relevant files from that installation.
In addition to the official Quake files, you will need Linux-specific binaries. All the necessary files for Linux Quake are available at ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/. id's site can be very busy, so you may want to use one of their mirror sites (see Resources).
Version numbers in this article are current as of September 1998 and aren't likely to change. Quake is considered a finished product, so new versions will be released only if major bugs are found.
The shareware Quake for Windows distribution is necessary only if you don't have a Quake CD-ROM (ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake/quake106.zip).
Quake can render its graphics three ways: in an X11 window, full-screen SVGA, or hardware-accelerated OpenGL. You'll need to download the binaries only for the renderers you plan to use. (See Resources.)
QuakeWorld is a multi-player version of Quake optimized for play over the Internet. Get one of the packages listed in Resources if you plan to play on-line. Red Hat 5.x/Debian 2.x users should get the glibc version. The .rpm and .tar.gz package contents are identical. Choose one according to your distribution.
If you plan to run an Internet QuakeWorld server, select one of the dedicated server-only binaries (see Resources). Most people won't need them.
Start by creating the directory in which you will install Quake. The "standard" location is /usr/local/games/quake. The QuakeWorld RPM package installs its files in this directory, so it is a good idea to install here if you plan on installing QuakeWorld later.
mkdir /usr/local/games/quake
If you have a very early release of the Quake CD-ROM, these instructions won't work. Please see the Linux Quake HOWTO for details on installing from older CD-ROMs.
A file on your Quake CD-ROM, resource.1, is an lha archive of all the Quake game files (lha is a file compression and archiving format like tar or zip). We will use the lha command (see Resources) to extract it.
Mount your Quake CD-ROM, move to your Quake directory and extract the resource.1 archive:
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom #change for your system cd /usr/local/games/quake lha e /mnt/cdrom/resource.1
Your /usr/local/games/quake directory should now contain a bunch of new files and a subdirectory called /id1. The most important files for Linux Quake are in /id1, so you can safely remove everything else. If you are totally new to Quake (or even if you are not), you may wish to keep the *.txt files for reference. On my system, I put all the READMEs that accumulate into a /doc subdirectory.
The single-episode shareware version of Quake has all the features of the full version of Quake, with a couple of major limitations: you cannot play QuakeWorld (multi-player) with it, and you cannot play custom or modified levels.
Installing the shareware version of Quake is not much different than installing from the CD-ROM. Put the quake106.zip file in your Quake directory, then extract the resource.1 lha archive:
cd /usr/local/games/quake unzip -L quake106.zip lha e resource.1
Now save the README files (optional) and remove everything else except the /id1 directory:
mkdir doc mv *.txt doc rm -f *
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

How good it is for brothers to dwell in unity! After some seven
months of acrimonious conflict and unedifying public exchanges
against each other, the webmaster of Traditional Catholic
Reflections, and author Stephen Hand and myself actually talked on
the phone for two-and-a-half hours tonight (12-18-05), and managed to achieve
a seemingly complete and hopeful reconciliation, through simply
talking, explaining, listening, issuing mutual apologies, seeking
to understand where the other is coming from, etc.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable discussion, in my opinion, with no
difficulty whatsoever. Stephen is a very personable, friendly man,
and he seems to think favorably of my "real life" persona as well.
Within minutes we both noted how we sounded very different from
the perceived tone of our writing, and we totally agreed that the
Internet and its words-only mode of communication leads to all
sorts of difficulties, which are quite resolvable if only folks
would talk.
Stephen must be given the lion's share of the credit for offering
to talk on the phone back in May and again tonight. He suggested
it and gave me his phone number in an e-mail. For my part, I was
ready to engage a real human being on the phone, in a last-ditch
effort to achieve a breakthrough in the chilling, unedifying
mutual antipathy. I felt the time was right and ripe for a
"radical" solution to the mess we had (like Laurel and Hardy)
gotten ourselves into, so I did it without hesitation.
As we began talking, Stephen asked me why I was calling. I said
(paraphrase) "I wanted to cut through the crap and talk to a live
human being and try to get to the bottom of this thing and resolve
it." We just seemed to click after that and everything went
smoothly. Nor was it just small talk, by any means. After about 45
minutes or so of "past narrative" type discussion, we (somewhat
boldly) moved into talking about the war in Iraq, which was the
original cause of the conflict. We had no trouble whatsoever, even
though we continue to disagree. We listened to each other and
talked it through with perfect calm, dealing with many of the
major sub-issues.
I couldn't resist asking at that point, "now, if we can talk about
this issue so easily on the phone, why did it become such a big
stink back in May on the Internet, and get so personal?" Stephen
expressed to me his dismay at the fact that four people (myself,
and three others) whom he considered friends or at least friendly
acquaintances (as he strongly felt) "ganged up" on or "attacked"
him publicly by issuing our rebuke of how he was expressing his
opinions on the war and related issues like capital punishment.
Upon reflection, I agreed with him that we probably should have
approached him privately first, given our friendship, and that it
was wrong for me to add my name to such an effort which was bound
to put the recipient at an immediate disadvantage and to naturally
feel defensive. And so I apologized for that.
For his part, Stephen apologized for admittedly harsh remarks
concerning how I make a living as an apologist, and some issues
regarding fundraising and apologetic method and demeanor. He will
be dealing with those things in a public statement that he is
issuing simultaneous with this one, on his website. We had agreed
to do this by the end of the conversation.
We also agreed to both remove all past ugly papers and mentions of
each other, and to move past this, in order to exhibit a better
Christian witness and to be an example of how simply talking to
each other can achieve a breakthrough in communication in less
than three hours, that had sadly been lacking for seven months of
ugly typewritten conflict. We both acknowledged our part in the
intemperate, excessive language which has been the cause of much
confusion as well as hurt.
Near the end of our friendly talk I sought to build more bridges
by noting that I had more in common with his views than he might
have supposed; e.g., my predisposition towards Chesterton's
economic distributism, which is about as critical of capitalism as
it is of socialism. This surprised him quite a bit. We all tend to
put others in boxes, don't we? I know I am guilty of it too often,
and must remind myself that individuals can differ from the
sheep-like mold that is often offered to us in caricatured
portayals of what others believe.
That's about all that I would like to say on the matter at this
juncture. Stephen is welcome to post "dissenting" opinions on my
blog at any time, and he has stated that I could post an op-ed
piece on his website about the Iraqi War (which I will probably
do). This will allow those Christians who differ to discuss the
issues respectfully without it becoming personal, and without
anyone's Catholic or Christian commitment being questioned. I
would be delighted for such a discussion to occur on my blog at
any time.
I gratefully thank Stephen for exhibiting the love of Christ and a
wonderful spirit of reconciliation in our phone conversation.
Having been the recipient of much personal attack myself, from
others online (mostly anti-Catholics) I can't express how
refreshing and encouraging this turn of events is for me. I had
begun to think that Christians couldn't or wouldn't even do this
sort of thing anymore. I was becoming more cynical than I was
aware, I think. This shows me that we all need to be more "in real
life" to balance the Internet: especially when there is
Praise God for His tender mercies. I think both Stephen and I
needed a good dose of it at this time, and by God's grace we were
(despite both our past miserable failings) able to convey it to
each other, and to break through to a place where Christians ought
to be, no matter how much we may disagree on some things.
Stephen's article on his Musings Page today, follows:
An Advent of New Beginnings: David Armstrong
It's quite amazing really how the Internet distorts, as well as communicates, reality in some instances. Since the spring I have been involved in an after hours argument with David Armstrong and some others over the Iraq war, the nature of apologetics since Vatican II, and what I have sometimes feared is the spectre of a creeping Jim and Tammy religion sneaking into the Catholic faith whereby religion becomes too aligned with personal financial entanglements. Inevitably some misunderstandings crept in based on partial information and oversight. Sunday, David and I talked for the first time, person to person, and at length on the phone about our differences and several important clarifications were made.
First, I should not have considered David's request for financial help for his work as any evidence of the Jim and Tammy syndrome, since David, I learned, has always depended on no more than a portion of his income from supporters for his work. Writing his popular books are also consuming much of his time these days. For the rest he has always worked like any husband and father.
Secondly, David has over 1,000 pages of apologetics at his website and so the sampling I have seen---mostly passionate back and forths on both sides with, as he emphasized, vehement anti-Catholics---does not represent the whole of his apologetics. I have not read his books for instance, nor seen many of the other dialogues on his website with more reasonable men and women which are friendly in spirit while remaining serious in thought.
David and I agree, I was surprised to learn, that, per Vatican II's ecumenical intentions, apologetics should aim for this good-spirited dialogue, presuming the good will of the other, and seeking to convey the attractiveness of Catholic truth; and that most apologetics should be an invitation to contemplate such Catholic truths. In fact he informed me he has given up debating with the hardened anti-Catholics for precisely the reasons that concerned me: because it seldom gets anywhere and tends to exhibit a certain acrimony after a time which is neither edifying nor fruitful. With those who are not anti-Catholic but who merely hold differences with the Catholic Church, David enjoys a much more tranquil and fruitful discussion on a regular basis.
When two people talk, as opposed to merely read each other via this curious phenomenon called the Internet, it is amazing how quickly acrimony morphs into understanding, good humor, and good-natured differences. Ah, the internet, that blessing and curse at the same time! Besides exchanging mutual apologies after all the facts were clarified in long discussion on both sides, I was, I must confess, shocked to hear a very reasonable and kind man at the other end discuss quite passionate matters in a way that did not incite discouragement or defensiveness and who was willing to give as well as take when it came to the debacle of a debate that need not have occurred at all if only we had talked together earlier. It was like having a holy brew with a fellow leprechaun who I learned was, poor lad, much older than I ever imagined based on the youthful photos of he and his beautiful wife, which I believe are recent (I never would have believed he was a day older than 35 or 36, though I shant give the sorry facts away). [I'm 47 LOL]
As for the Iraqi war, David and I recognize our differences, which are not insignificant; but they are differences of conscience over which we simply agree to disagree. David will write op-ed articles at TCR from time to time on issues he strongly disagrees with us on. Strong differences and even rhetorical liveliness need not be an impediment to good will and understanding. We have dusted off the foul lines and can see them much more clearly now. I am delighted for this Christmas present of "meeting" the real David Armstrong---I trust my bones in such matters and found no guile in this good man--- and for this my heart magnifies the Lord.

It is fun reading the comments on the New York Times' story about how Margaret Sullivan, our editor-in-chief, is going to be the New York Times' next Public Editor.
One comment in the middle of all of them caught the capricious attention of The Gusto Blog. It is a million comments down, so we will cut and paste.
Laurence Glavin, Methuen, MA., wrote on July 16 at 4:48 p.m.:
This is great. The Times's Arts section has had a propensity to claim that Marin Alsop is the first woman to become the Music Director of a major symphony orchestra. Since Margaret Sullivan's most recent gig was in Buffalo, NY, she knows that JoAnn Falletta has been Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic since 1999, some 8 years earlier than Marin Alsop's appointment.
That is JoAnn Falletta pictured at left, in a photo we love taken in May by Buffalo News photographer Sharon Cantillon.
Marin Alsop, meanwhile, is music director of the Baltimore Symphony.
Anyway. Thank you, Laurence Glavin, of Methuen, Mass.!
It is nice to know that at least one New York Times reader has his priorities straight.

Dog Hemangiosarcoma
Hemangiosarcomas that involve the left atrial appendage can be removed, but tumors involving the ventricles cannot. Sometimes decreased heart function is caused by blood accumulating within the pericardial sac that surrounds the heart, which causes compression on the heart and prevents normal filling and pumping. This can be managed by removing the pericardial sac. However, this treatment will not work if the decreased heart function is caused by tumor that is invading the heart muscle.
There are sometimes clinical trials available for a variety of veterinary tumors. Please see the Veterinary Cancer Society for information concerning current research trials for pets with cancer.

Put it all together
If you're ready to dive right into a full home theater surround speaker system, KEF's T Series 105 5.1-channel package is ready and waiting. The T101 satellites and center channel pump out 100 watts of power each while the T-2 subwoofer takes care of the low frequencies, making it a powerful sound package while maintaining an amazingly unobtrusive appearance.
Monstrous home theater sound from ultra-thin speakers
Don't let their thin design fool you, the KEF T Series speakers aren't average by any stretch of the imagination. KEF's new low profile bass/midrange driver design throws the dome out and puts in a twin-layer unit with a flat diaphragm constructed of thin ribs that maintain rigidity throughout the frequency range. The result? The driver acts as a single, unified resonance-reducing unit for unbeatable audio fidelity. On a high note, the one-inch vented tweeter provides accurate reproduction of vocals as well as pure high notes — even at high volume levels. KEF's special "tangerine" waveguide disperses the sound evenly for a truly exceptional 3D sound experience.
A real audio ego boost
When you go for the full T Series 5.1-channel home theater speaker package, you get the mighty T-2 subwoofer. The closed- box design matches the T101 speakers in phase and performance. It's beefier design adds the low frequency definition you want for full home theater movie effects. The sleek KEF cabinet and slim 7" depth means you don't have to hide it under an end table.
No matter how you mount them, they still sound spectacular
Up, down, or sideways, the T Series speakers don't hold back. And the reinvented suspension design means no matter which model you choose, they'll all match up perfectly at 1.25" depth. The hidden Selecta-mount™ system makes mounting easy and keeps the speaker line clean and sleek. Go figure. KEF thinks of everything.
Included in the box:
Four KEF T101 satellite speakers, one T101c center channel, and one T-2 subwoofer.

Marblehead, MA — Fred Finkel,well known jeweler, goldsmith/silversmith of Marblehead, Mass., died Oct 17, from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident several days earlier. He was 64. He was born and raised in Meriden Conn., son of Faye and Jack Finkel, and graduated in 1966 from Platt High School. While attending Brandeis University, he developed an interest in metals and gems and took a jewelry-making course on his way to graduating in 1972, majoring in Music. After college he apprenticed with a jewelry maker in Cambridge, Mass., learning his craft in the traditional style of apprenticeship.
In 1976 he moved to Marblehead where he opened his first shop. Thirty-six years later, he was a renowned craftsman not only working in silver and gold but also in bone, ivory, bone and shell. He was one of a small handful of craftsmen who was trusted by local clergy to repair religious ceremonial pieces and ornaments (chalises, torah breast plates) and also by museum directors to repair silver pieces fashioned 200 years ago by Paul Revere. All his pieces were done by hand using techniques that are hundreds of years old. For the past 20 years he has expanded his craft to include repair of antique walking sticks requiring intricate, precise, painstaking detail work.
Fred studied classical violin since Middle School and continued to play violin until the end of his life. He was a proficient classical violinist, but his passion was improvising on the 'fiddle' in the genre of traditional American and Northern European music. He played fiddle with 'the boys' who accompanied him on guitar and banjo almost without fail every Tuesday night for several years. He also dabbled with mandolin, washtub bass and spoons. Fred leaves loyal and loving friends who have been close for over forty years, 'new' friends from Marblehead from the past thirty years, uncountable scores of local customers who cherish his creations and were 'saved' by his repairs, and above all, Fred leaves the children he adored, and loved, Serena and Dario of Marblehead, and now three grandchildren, Jordan, Michael, ad Brooklyn. Whether you knew Fred Finkel for 47 years or 47 minutes, your life was blessed after meeting such a warm, honest, curious, talented, crazy-funny, and genuinely caring person. Among the people we call 'one of a kind' he was truly one of a kind.
ARRANGEMENTS: A Visitation will be held for Mr. Finkel on Sunday, October 21, 2012, at the Murphy Funeral Home, 85 Federal St., (Corner of North Street) Salem, from 4 to 8 p.m. His Funeral Service will begin during the visitation at 7 P.M.. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend. Burial will be held privately at the request of the family. For additional information, please see our online guest book, call 978-744-0479 or visit www.MurphyFuneralHome.com.

NEWBURY — A Peabody man faces 11 felony charges after allegedly swiping a credit card from his employer and spending more than $50,000 over a period a several weeks.
Christopher R. Day, 26, 20 Proctor St., Peabody, is expected to be arraigned June 4 at Newburyport District Court on one count of larceny over $250 and 10 counts of improper use of a credit card over $250.
Police believe Day, who worked in the information technology department for North Reading Transportation, a Methuen-based school bus company with a facility in Newbury, obtained the credit card without anyone else's knowledge and began purchasing large quantities of software. Once the software arrived, Day would sell it to customers.
Day's alleged activities caught the attention of North Reading Transportation house investigator and former Rowley police Chief Kevin Barry, who alerted police on April 29. Newbury Detective Aaron Wojtkowski began an investigation and after speaking to the suspect and others, filed charges on May 7.
According to Wotjkowski, the suspect had been hired by the company as recently as January and had been using the credit card for about six weeks before charges were filed.
"It's a substantial sum but it's not unheard of," Wojtkowski said, adding Day was cooperative when contacted by police.
In summonsing Day instead of arresting him, Wojtkowski said since the alleged crimes aren't violent in nature and believing the suspect isn't a flight risk it was appropriate to allow him to stay out of jail pending arraignment. Because Day faces felony charges he has no right to a hearing before a clerk magistrate, Wojtkowski added.
Police are still investigating how Day allegedly gained access to the car but Wojtkowski said the suspect had unfettered access on company grounds.
Owned and operated by John McCarthy, North Reading Transportation was founded in 1988. Today the company's fleet consists of roughly 670 school transportation vehicles and has contracts with dozens of Eastern Massachusetts school systems including Trition Regional School District, Masconomet Regional School District, Lawrence, Methuen, Amesbury, Chelmsford, Wakefield, Wilmington and Lowell. It also serves Boston College, the Beverly School for the Deaf, and the Solstice School in Rowley.

Ashlea Ebeling, Forbes Staff
I write about how to build, manage and enjoy your family's wealth.
Update: For 2013, the 401(k) contribution limit is $17,500. The catch-up is still $5,500.
Are you getting the most out of your employer 401(k) match? A high-income earner who frontloads contributions in the beginning of the year could be losing thousands of dollars in free employer matching money. Yikes!
"The industry has a tendency to talk in formulas and jargon and that doesn't always translate with individuals," says Catherine Golladay, vice president of 401(k) education and advice at Charles Schwab. But hear this: it's gravy; here's help to collect it, all of it.
Different employers have different ways of figuring the match—that is, how much your employer contributes to your 401(k) account. The problem is that depending on the match formula, employees can lose part of the match. Most employers do it on a payroll basis, contributing a little bit with each paycheck, "matching" the amount the employee saves out of each paycheck. A common formula is to match 50% of employee contributions up to the first 6% of salary.
Look who that can hurt. If you're saving just 3% of salary, you're missing out on half of the potential match. Many employers automatically start employees at a 3% savings rate if they don't opt out or elect otherwise. Don't be fooled thinking your employer has your best interest at heart; it costs your employer to provide the match after all. Bump up your savings rate to 6% to grab the full match.
High earners trying to save the max run into another problem. They'll often want to contribute as soon as they have the salary (or bonus) to do so. But watch out. Here's an example of how that can backfire, courtesy of Schwab's Gollady.
Take an employee under age 50 earning $240,000 who elected to have 25% of salary deferred at a company that provides a 50% match on the first 6% of compensation. (The company kicks in its matching amount each pay period that the employee contributes). She would have contributed the maximum $17,000 by April 15, giving her a match of $2,100. By contrast, if she spread out her contributions throughout the calendar year, she would get a match of $7,200.
Some plans have what's called a "true-up" feature to help you get the maximum match. The employer looks at your account to determine if the average percentage you contributed would have resulted in a larger match; it that's the case, the employer makes a "true-up" contribution. Check with your plan provider and/or your benefits department.
For 2012, the maximum an employee can contribute to a 401(k) is $17,000, up from $16,500 in 2011. For those 50 and older, in addition to the new $17,000 max, they can contribute an additional $5,500 a year as a catch-up, so the total annual contribution for these folks would be $22,500.
For folks who really want to be sure they're saving the $17,000, they need to check that the percentage they've set to contribute will get them there, says Beth McHugh, vice president of market insights with Fidelity Investments Fidelity Investments. In a December Fidelity survey, only 31% of those surveyed knew that the contribution limit had changed for 2012, and given a list of choices, only 20% of those surveyed could correctly identify the new limit for 2012 as $17,000 with a $5,500 catchup.
Some employers will let you pick a fixed amount (instead of a percentage) to contribute each pay period. The danger with doing that is that if you neglect to revise the amount in a year when the dollar contribution limit goes up based on inflation, you've lost out on saving the max.
January is a good time for a 401(k) checkup. Look at your first paystub. McHugh recommends 401(k) savers first take stock to make sure they're taking full advantage of their employer match, and second, double check that they are saving as much as they can. Typically you can change your contribution amount at any time during the year. The easiest way to do this is online at your plan provider's web site.

Job Miller,
I ran into this same problem, but my employer has said that it is an IRS regulation that there must be an contribution in each month for the employer to match; and that if you contribute early and reach the limit ($17,000 2012), then the employer cannot provide match. I have been unable to find any IRS regulation that specifically covers and mandates this. The Plan Summary we are provided states, "For each Plan Year, the Company will make matching contributions for each eligible employee…..in accordance with the following formula:" The formula is 100% of the first 3% of compensation and 50% of the next two percent or in total, if you contribute 5% they agree to contribute 4% of your compensation (pretty standard/common). Does anyone know of a regulation that gives the employer no choice but to stop contributions under these circumstances??
Thanks so very much. I sent you an email as well, and you have very well addressed that here. I elected to have 30% of my compensation deferred, and my employer has made changes, calculated percentages and deferred from a bonus in ways that are very hard to figure. Bonuses and/or salary adjustments make it very hard for an employee to do the math needed not to reach the limit before the end of the Plan/Tax year. The difficultly seems to stem form from using percentages, rather than set amounts and making needed adjustments in the last month (which brings the question, Is there a grace period to reconcile balances such as there is with excess contributions?) Thanks,
I am planning to implement 401(K) for my small business. I have close to 20 employees with an annual revenue of close to 5 million dollars. So what do you think should I consider when it comes to the employer's contribution. How much should be the ideal contribution from my side and what factors do I need to consider before starting with the 401(k)?
I discovered Non Self Directed 401(k)s the employers don't really give X% cash to the broker, the broker already does business with the corporation and just gives the employee a float of the stocks they've pre-chosen. In Other words, like Celente has often said: The Money's Not There. It's all numbers in a computer.
It's not free money if you have to pool yours and bet it on their games.
Remember Richard Dreyfuss as the addicted Horse Race better who suggested to his exited friends they pool their money and Let it Ride…they weren't too enthusiastic about letting someone else bet their money.
When I retired from my administrative nursing career, I had approximately 12 week of vacation due me prior to my "retirement" date. This was paid out weekly and I continued to make contributions to the new 401 with a % of matching funds, expecting the nonprofit hospital to continue to match as they had been. Last year, when I consolidated my accounts, I was became aware that the matching contributions had stopped when I started my vacation time. The organization responded that it does not match vacation time when one is retiring. I was never advised of this and would have made other decisions had I known. Is this allowed?
I was also contributing to a deferred compensation account (I had maxed out my 403 /401 limits and I was able to contribute to this account). Last year, as part of the consolidation process I requested these monies to be rolled over into an IRA. The company sent me the paper work, which included an area to check off IRA rollover, which I did. The monies were rolled over. This year I received a W2 form from the investment company for the total amount to be taxed. As they had treated it as a rollover, (they used the same paper work for the 403 I had with them), we had requested the monies be returned to them so it could be managed properly. They are telling me that the hospital will not take the money back. It seems to me this is not a Hospital issue,but the company's error. is there anything I can I do?
Thanks so much for your assistance.

Mikhail Grigorenko just wasn't ready for big minutes with the Sabres, so General Manager Darcy Regier decided today the rookie center was better off getting prime ice time in the playoffs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
The Sabres have sent the 18-year-old back to the Quebec Remparts, but Regier feels Grigorenko learned a lot about what he needs to do to be an NHL player, which should benefit his future.
"I think this has been a very good thing," Regier said about Grigorenko's NHL debut season.
With the Sabres near the bottom of the NHL and the trade deadline approaching April 3, Regier said the team needs to find a way to acquire more good players. But ...
"I'm not in a blow-it-up mind-set," Regier said.

I absolutely love this faucet. I like that it is easy to adjust the temperature, with just one handle. I also really appreciate that it doesn't show water beads like chrome ones do, so it stays looking clean longer. the pullout feature is great, and retracts nicely too. Overall, very happy!
We love this faucet. It has styling you would expect to get from a high end model. The pull down sprayer retracts easily and is powerful.
Very happy with this faucet.Easy to install,very versatile and good pressure.I like it much better than previous pull out faucet.Happy over all with my purchase.
The hoses on the underside used to attach the faucet to the house water supplies were way too short. They were only 4-5 inches long and the plumber said they are usually about 18 inches long. Also, it was not possible to attach one of the other elements to what it needed to be attached to without an adapter. It took the plumber 2 trips to the **** and 4 hours to install the faucet. I've used this plumber before and he is quite competent. I've bought many other plumbing fixtures from you before and this one was the first disappointment, but it was bad enough to make me wary of your products in the future. It should have been stated in the product information on your listing that it was a non-standard product and the variances described.
This upgrade to our kitchen helped bring the look together. The faucet is awesome, it can change from spray to stream & the pull down feature makes it so much easier to clean bg pots. I highly recommend getting the matching drains to complete the look.
It is pretty and looks nice, but it is a bit too tall and the water sprays when on high. It also feels a bit cheap. But overall it is ok.
I was faced with making what appeared to be a difficult repair of our existing (and expensive) German-made kitchen faucet and opted for a replacement. Removing the old faucet was the hard part. This Kraus faucet was a dream to install. The connections below the sink were both simple and solid. I would rate the instructions as a 6 on a scale of 10. Good for a professional plumber but they could be a bit lacking for use by the casual do-it-yourselfer. In my case, for example, I didn't have room for the escutcheon plate. I didn't want to unpack everything only to find, after the fact, that it was required, so I called Kraus and was told it was not required.
Haven't had this kitchen faucet long, but we love the way it looks in our kitchen. It is very modern and simple.

The rate that both of them are going, they should build up a fan base and I could see them fighting in 1 or 2 years from now but sooner the better because both guys are in there prime and giving us fans some real great fights. Both are fighting at 130 right now it just makes sense I Think.

I like Fortuna, his power does him great favors. The only two times that I've seen him fight, he's fought two guys that swing for the fences. He was able to catch those guys in mid swing when they were throwing those elementary recess haymakers.
Let's see how he does with guys who are defensively conscious, and works behind a good jab. Fortuna fights at 126, so hopefully he stays there for a while or until there's no competition, then move up.

Notice of Actions — Accreditation Status: Summer 2013
The following serves as a notice of actions related to accreditation status taken by the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) of the American Psychological Association at its Summer meeting held July 17-21, 2013. This list does not include actions on programs that did not receive an accreditation decision, or programs that submitted other correspondence or interim reports for review at the Summer meeting.
The official listing of all accredited doctoral, internship and postdoctoral programs appears in each December edition of the American Psychologist. An electronic list of all currently accredited programs in psychology is also available.
Accreditation Statuses and Decision Guidelines
Accredited Statuses
The CoA grants accreditation of 3-7 years from the date of the site visit. The number of years granted is based on the professional judgment of the CoA consistent with the following guidelines:
7 Year Guideline: Compliance or substantial compliance with all domains of the Guidelines and Principles for Accreditation (G&P). No serious deficiencies.
5 Year Guideline: Multiple minor deficiencies exist and/or deficiencies have been recently corrected.
3 Year Guideline: Program resource concerns, instability and/or serious deficiencies remain, but can be corrected in the near future (minor deficiencies typically addressed in the next self-study.)
The CoA may also assign a program "accredited, on probation" status. Although it is an accredited status, it is considered by the CoA to be an adverse action that serves as notice to the program, its students/interns/residents and the public that in the professional judgment of the CoA, the accredited program is not consistent with the G&P and may have its accreditation revoked. Prior to this designation, a program is provided an opportunity to show cause why it should not be placed on probation by providing a written response to the issues of concern. A program not coming into compliance within two (2) CoA meetings after the show cause notice is assigned "accredited, on probation" status. This status is appealable within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the CoA decision.
In the event that a program continues to be out of compliance with the G&P following "accredited, on probation" status, the CoA in its professional judgment may revoke the program's accreditation. "Revocation of accreditation" is considered by the CoA to be an adverse action designating a program that has previously been placed on "accredited, on probation" status and for which the CoA has evidence that the program continues to be substantively inconsistent with the G&P at the time of the review of the program's response to the probation. Revocation is appealable within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the CoA decision.
Additional information on all accreditation statuses can be found on pages 6-7 of the Accreditation Operating Procedures (PDF, 253KB).

Kingston's Mead has tough test ahead
9:00am Sunday 18th November 2012 in Sport
Kingston ski racer Darcie Mead faces a stiff examination of her credentials to make it to the top this year, coach Paul Telling has warned.
The 16-year-old won the overall British junior girls title at the British Alpine Championships in France at the end of last season.
She has backed that up with strong results in France, Austria and South America over the summer, that should push the British number one junior girl into the world's top 50.
But Teller, head coach at Team Evolution in Austria where Mead is largely based, reckons tougher assignments are on the horizon.
"This year for Darcie is going to be the toughest to date," he said.
"She has been selected to the British junior team, shortlisted to be part of Team GB for the European Youth Olympics, and will be moving into her A Level year.
"Luckily, she is focused on the bigger picture and has spent the summer putting in the hours to make sure she's developing properly."
* Former Surbiton High School student Chemmy Alcott is set to make her return to World Cup skiing at Lake Louise in Canada next week – the scene of a career threatening leg injury she suffered in 2010.

A Plattsburgh man who had recently been charged with sex abuse apparently lit himself on fire Wednesday night.
Earlier in the evening, at about 8:15 p.m., Plattsburgh City Police officers arrested Daniel W. Burke, 60, of 3 Charles Way as he was driving on Margaret Street. He was taken to the Police Station, charged with driving while intoxicated and released to a sober person who came to pick him up.
On Feb. 13, Burke had been charged with second-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly molesting someone under age 14. He was out on bail from those charges.
Just before 10 p.m. Wednesday, a neighbor of Burke's heard glass breaking at the man's duplex mobile home and called police.
Officers arrived and could see Burke inside the house by himself.
City Police Chief Desmond Racicot told the Press-Republican that the four patrol officers — Joel Vassar, Richard Tucker, Charles Wolfe and Adam Wood — surrounded the mobile home and tried to speak with Burke.
Then, he turned off the lights in the mobile home. Suddenly, the bedroom where he was standing was aglow as Burke apparently set himself on fire.
"He was engulfed in flames," the chief said. "They were half-carrying him, half-dragging him out of the trailer, slapping him with their hands and rolling him to try to put out the fire."
He told the officers he was trying to kill himself, said Racicot, who said Burke's burns were causing his skin to peel.
Fire began to roar through the structure.
"Plattsburgh Fire Department personnel responded and fought the blaze," according to a news release from City Police. "A neighboring trailer and also a single-family home were damaged by the extreme heat and flames.
"Neighbors were all evacuated during the firefighting effort."
Burke was taken to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh, where he was treated and then transferred to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington with first- and second-degree burns to half of his body.
Vassar and Tucker, whose uniforms were burned as they tried to put out the fire on Burke, were taken to CVPH for evaluation but were released. All four officers returned to work Wednesday night, Racicot said. Technicians were at the mobile home on Thursday doing crime-scene forensics.
"It is being investigated as an arson," Racicot said."It is tough," he said of Burke's mental state. "He admitted trying to kill himself. He obviously had some legal problems."

Mark Khayat, the owner of Austin's Saloon and Eatery in Libertyville, and the mastermind behind Austin's Fuel Room, has inked a deal with the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake to bring more concerts and entertainment to the area.
"Here some big news for ya! Austin's Fuel Room and Lake County Fairgrounds have partnered up to create the largest indoor/outdoor, multi-entertainment facility in Lake County! AUSTINS FUEL ARENA! Stay tuned....," posted Khayat on Facebook.
Khayat's company, Fuel, Inc., has a five-year contract with the fairgrounds to host musical acts on the grounds, to be marketed as Austin's Fuel Arena, reports the Daily Herald.
Austin's Fuel Room, which has hosted popular acts such as Brett Michaels, Bobby Brown, Buckcherry, Puddle of Mud and Ice Cube, opened in 2008 as an addition to the restaurant.
Khayat told the Daily Herald he hopes to utilize the fairgrounds' outdoor areas and indoor exhibit hall for a variety of acts, not just rock.
Thrilling partnership
"We are absolutely thrilled. It will be great exposure for us," said Sheri Vyfvinkel, fairgrounds general manager.
Vyfvinkel said it was Khayat who approached them about the partnership, which gives Austin's exclusive entertainment rights to the fairgrounds.
Depending on what acts are scheduled to come through the area, she said, events could begin even before the summer.
"Mark has wonderful connections," said Vyfvinkel, adding the fairgrounds venue will expand upon what Khayat and Austin's Fuel Room are already great at—enticing top quality entertainment to the area.

Strength of Mind
Sometimes, of course, the instruction is simply inaccurate. Just as there are levels and nuances of truth, there are also levels of falsehood or inaccuracy. Some teachings are absolutely wrong. Incorrect actions are those that injure students, do not create any benefit for them, or lead them down an unyogic path.
Incorrect actions that injure students include relaxing in active poses or becoming active in relaxed poses. Some teachers, for example, instruct students to relax in Sirsasana, letting the spine collapse and just hanging in the pose; this is downright wrong, as it will injure the discs and damage the nerves in the neck and spine. One teacher even taught his students to hold their breath in Sirsasana for as long as they could and to come out when they couldn�t hold their breath any longer--again, downright wrong. This damaged one student�s eyes and caused another student to become nauseous and suffer dramatic increases in blood pressure.
Another absolutely incorrect instruction is to perform Sarvangasana aggressively. When done this way, the posture can damage the student's neck and agitate her nervous system. The pose is a quiet, gentle one, and fighting a gentle pose with an active action damages the nerves. Another common practice is to teach students an imbalanced series, such as one that excludes Sirsasana and Sarvangasana, both of which are critical to the balancing of the nervous system.
Though it is often taught, recommending Bhastrika pPranayama during postures is another example of an absolutely incorrect instruction. Doing poses such as Sirsasana and Sarvangasana with the "breath of fire" can damage the brain and the nerves of the spine and may actually lead to insanity. Another wrong action is closing the eyes while the nervous system is being stimulated or opening them while the nervous system is being released. This causes a conflict in the nervous system and eventually creates a sense of disorientation in the body, in the mind, and in life.
All of the instructions in the examples above are incorrect because they harm the student. A teacher�s instructions are also wrong when the student gains no benefit despite hard work. This often happens when the teacher knows only one or two sequences of poses but does not know how to teach refinements within those sequences. Repeating a sequence without going deeper and fine-tuning its movements leads to stagnation. Doing standing poses with the knees bent and with an inactive spine may not cause injury, but neither does it create benefit, because the standing poses are designed to draw energy into the spine through straight and active legs.
Other instructions are wrong because they lead the student down an unyogic path. Teaching a student to focus only on his third eye and not to balance this with going into the heart center, for example, aggrandizes the ego and restricts the cultivation of love. Some systems of yoga do not teach inversions, yet yoga�s most unique aspect is inversions. Sirsasana and Sarvangasana are called the King and Queen of asana. Not doing them eventually leads practitioners to become possessive and conceited. Therefore, a practice must be tempered with the inversions because they allow us to see things from a different viewpoint, both physically and psychologically.

How dare writer letter writer Joseph Reichert assume I am a warmonger? He doesn't know that much about me.
Why do some people think that if you are in the military or work for the military, you automatically support all wars?
Having been in the military or worked for the U.S. Air Force for more than 30 years, I have seen the ravages that wars have on people and property. I have also seen the happy people of Germany, England, South Korea, Greece and Japan, who are enjoying freedom today because America fought for it.
What I can't understand is how Reichert, with his antiwar philosophy, can possibly support President Obama. Isn't Obama the one who continues to escalate the fighting in Afghanistan when he could have easily pulled our troops out as he did in Iraq? And didn't he send aircraft into Libya to bomb Muslim people? And isn't he planning some sort of military campaign against Syria?
Perhaps Obama could hire Reichert to go to the Middle East to negotiate with the terrorists. Reichert is just another hypocritical liberal.
In Syria, since there are terrorists fighting on both sides, why not just arm both of them and let them kill each other?
I don't think Reichert's grandchildren, if they share his attitude, need worry about going to war. But I would encourage them to bone up on their Russian, Chinese or even some Muslim languages. They are going to need them.

If you've been following us on Facebook and Twitter this week (and if you haven't been, why not?), you know that we've been pretty excited.
All this week, we've been teasing out clips and information about Fermilab: Science at Work, a new documentary all about us. And now, today, the entire 40-minute film is available to watch online, right here.
Assuming you're still reading this instead of watching the movie, let me tell you a little bit about it. Fermilab commissioned filmmakers Clayton Brown and Monica Long Ross of 137 Films in 2009, after working with them on their PBS documentary The Atom Smashers.
Brown and Ross spent four years shooting The Atom Smashers, and in that time, they got to know the laboratory pretty well. We weren't looking for your typical promotional video — we could have gotten any film crew for that. We wanted a true documentary, one that would show people what it's really like to work here, and participate in some of the greatest scientific endeavors in the world.
To that end, the laboratory gave Brown and Ross tremendous freedom. They selected the 10 scientists they wanted to feature, and followed each of them for weeks. All told, the filmmakers spent two years shooting Fermilab: Science at Work, and then another six months editing it. The finished film condenses its story into six days, showing you what a typical week here looks and sounds like.
The film focuses on the people who make Fermilab tick, but it also gives you a street-level breakdown of the science that powers our experiments. You'll get to learn about neutrino oscillation, watch the Dark Energy Camera being made, and see part of our MINERvA detector lowered into place.
And you'll get to hear our scientists, in their own words, explain just how important and valuable Fermilab is, and why it's a great place to work. If I didn't work here, this film would make me want to.
I'm not sure why you're still reading instead of watching the movie already. Check it out on Fermilab's YouTube channel here. For more on the filmmakers, log onto the 137 Films website. And for more about Fermilab, visit our site and keep reading this blog.
