Loan interest rates doubled this week for more than 7 million students nationwide and northeast Queens reps put the blame on the Republican leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Reps. Steve Israel (D-Melville) and Grace Meng (D-Flushing) called on Congress to pass the Student Loan Relief Act of 2013 earlier this year, which would have extended a reduction in student loan interest rates for another two years.
But the July 1 deadline for action came and went, ultimately allowing the fixed interest rates on subsidized federal Stafford loans to double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.
Meng pointed a finger at House Republicans and used strong language in her critique of their failure to act. Their proposal included tying loan rates to the financial markets, which Democrats did not support.
"The lack of action by the Republican leadership in the House is a cruel and heartless attack on our nation's students and families," she said. "Our students are our country's most important investment. An affordable college education is an essential tool for them to succeed in today's competitive job market, and it's critical for the future health and prosperity of our nation."
The House had until July 1 to keep the rates from doubling before adjourning. Meng said there was still hope, however, to make a retroactive reduction to the rates when the House reconvenes July 8.
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act was passed under President George W. Bush in 2007, lowering interest rates on need-based federal Stafford loans from 6.8 percent to 3.4 percent over four years. The program was extended in 2012 for another year, giving the House more time to debate whether or not rates should be kept at the low rate.
But Israel said Congress needed more time to consider extending the rate cuts before the country's college students are forced to make more than $1,000 more in repayments each year.
"An affordable and quality college education should be readily available, but too many students today are facing crippling student loan debt," Israel said. "If nothing is done, millions of students and families will face higher student interest rates that they simply can't afford."
Israel said outstanding student debt currently sits at more than $1 trillion, with graduates leaving school owing an average of $25,000. When coupling that with a dismal job market, the elected officials said subsidized Stafford loans were more essential than ever for anyone seeking higher education and worth the $7 billion it would cost to extend the rate cuts.
Weeks before the deadline, Gov. Andrew Cuomo reached out to the state's congressional delegation with hopes of swaying them to act. The governor said interest rates were initially cut in 2007 to jump-start an economic comeback, so allowing the reduction to expire was counter intuitive.
"Doubling the interest rate will make it more difficult for New York students and their families to afford college, consequently making it harder for them to acquire the skills necessary to contribute to New York's economic revival," Cuomo said. "As students and universities are a vital component to New York state's economy, we must work to keep student loan interest rates low and predictable."

From Our Editors
The rapids rock beneath the raft, pummeling the vessel like a boxer delivering uppercuts to a heavy bag. After successfully navigating the foamy surges, the paddlers hit an abrupt drop that tosses one adventurer out of the rear of the raft. He resurfaces, bobs in the water, and then presents a thumbs up, inciting cheers and laughter from his fellow rafters.
The guides at River's End Rafting & Adventure Company pride themselves on delivering fun and safe adrenaline-pumping adventures like these. Based about 15 minutes from downtown Bakersfield, the crew transports rafters to the mouth of Kern Canyon, then guides paddlers through Class II¬–III rapids before the river yawns into Lake Ming. In addition to whitewater rafting, the team at River's End also coordinates outings including kayaking, rock climbing, and paragliding over Ant Hill, a 100-foot-high skyscraper of luxury ant condos.

I've recently built my own theme by following a tutorial, and I've added a featured post slider myself. All is working well, apart of that thing showing up on every page instead of just the homepage.
Can anyone perhaps tell me, or give me some hints on how to remove it from the other pages?
The featured posts item is included in the header.php, which is loaded on every page. Now I recon it is not possible to "block" it out of the normal page.php unless I make a seperate header.php which excludes the featured posts script.

Losing its identity
Published: Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 10:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 10:26 a.m.
To The Editor: When towns incorporate, they may contain two or more smaller communities. When this happens, they may lose their community identity. In unincorporated parts of a county, community identity can be a problem as well.
In 1894, the Yale community in Henderson County had a railroad station and a post office. Today, they are gone. Where does Yale end and Horse Shoe (named for the horseshoe bend in the French Broad River) begin? The answer will depend on who you ask.
Horse Shoe is one of the oldest communities in Henderson County. It has a post office. It had a railroad station and a school. Where does Horse Shoe end and Etowah begin? Depends on who you ask. Etowah has a post office and a school. It had a railroad station.
How can a community preserve its identity and history? Incorporation is one way — not likely to happen today. A new post office — not likely to happen. Books, maps and historical markers are expensive but can help.
Do what you can, once a community's identity is lost, it's gone forever.

Only at Target, find the January, 2014, Club Pick "Calling me Home". This book will be signed by author Julie Kibler!
Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler is a soaring debut interweaving the story of a heartbreaking, forbidden love in 1930s Kentucky with an unlikely modern-day friendship
Eighty-nine-year-old Isabelle McAllister has a favor to ask her hairdresser, Dorrie Curtis. It's a big one. Isabelle wants Dorrie, a black single mom in her thirties, to drop everything to drive her from her home in Arlington, Texas, to a funeral near Cincinnati. With no clear explanation why. Tomorrow.
Dorrie, fleeing problems of her own and curious whether she can unlock the secrets of Isabelle's guarded past, scarcely hesitates before agreeing, not knowing it will be a journey that changes both their lives.
Over the years, Dorrie and Isabelle have developed more than just a business relationship. They are friends. But Dorrie, fretting over the new man in her life and her teenage son's irresponsible choices, still wonders why Isabelle chose her.
Isabelle confesses that, as a willful teen in 1930s Kentucky, she fell deeply in love with Robert Prewitt, a would-be doctor and the black son of her family's housekeeper—in a town where blacks weren't allowed after dark. The tale of their forbidden relationship and its tragic consequences makes it clear Dorrie and Isabelle are headed for a gathering of the utmost importance and that the history of Isabelle's first and greatest love might just help Dorrie find her own way.
JULIE KIBLER began writing Calling Me Home after learning a bit of family lore: As a young woman, her grandmother fell in love with a young black man in an era and locale that made the relationship impossible. When not writing, she enjoys travel, independent films, music, and photography. She lives with her family in Texas. Calling

I remember growing food in the third grade during garden club at Twin Oaks Community Garden in D.C. I grew onions, collard greens, and mustard greens. I'd bring my harvest home for my family to eat. My mother taught me how to wash them. My pencil legs towered over running water as we removed each stem from the leaves before dunking them into cold water. My greens tasted better than the canned Glory Greens my family bought, like the expensive loose leaf ones in the produce section of the grocery store. Read more >

I freshly installed Fedora 14 and working fine till my 1 TB hard disk suddenly showed "SMART TRIPPED". I brought another 1 TB hard disk and thought about installing Windows XP on it and then copy data from Fedora.
So I put XP bootable into the DVD drive and on partition look-up, I selected the by best selection the biggest non partitioned drive 1TB (the Fedora drive contained two partitions of 500 MB and 950 GB) but I found XP is reporting some unknown OS may be there, so I skipped by pressing F3 to quit.
I found out that some 8 MB is already allocated from that non partitioned drive. (I do this as Fedora 14 disk utility though recognize the disk failed to do the formatting of this drive).
Now Fedora 14 failed to boot with "unrecognized"
I assume my boot record/MBR is corrupted. Trying to recover using the Fedora 14 installation cd, but strange enough, as I read in a forum, there is no rescue mode in the boot menu. I have these five options listed.
- Boot
- Boot (Basic Video)
- Verify and Boot
- Memory Test
- Boot from local drive.
I tried 1,3 and 5 and 1/3 boot from DVD as live user. While 5 is similar to that I get "unrecognized" without DVD
How can I rescue the system?

Rivera Injury Clouds Future
Yankee closer Mariano Rivera has a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and his legendary career may be over.
Rivera faces a yearlong rehab to come back from the injury, sustained while chasing down a fly ball during batting practice Thursday afternoon.
"At this point, I don't know. At this point, I don't know. We have to face this first," Rivera said.
At age 42, Rivera had already been weighing retirement. It may be that Rivera, the greatest reliever in baseball history, has thrown his final pitch.
An hour before the start of Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals, Rivera was chasing a fly ball in deep center field when he stumbled at the warning track and crumpled in pain. He writhed on the ground for several moments before trainers rushed to his side.
Rivera was examined by Kansas City associate team physician Joe Noland, and was initially diagnosed with a twisted right knee. He was taken to the University of Kansas MedWest Hospital for an MRI, and results were still pending as of 10 p.m. Eastern time.
When Rivera initially fell to the ground, he was swarmed by concerned teammates. The Yankee closer tried to stand but was quickly attended to by team trainers and teammates; manager Joe Girardi and bullpen coach Mike Harkey literally lifted him off the ground and cradled him over to the equipment cart.
Rivera was driven from center field to the Yankee dugout and chuckled gamely with teammates and staffers as he waited to be driven off. But he turned grim and stone-faced as the cart drove him back into the guts of the stadium.
Rivera was helped into the clubhouse by Girardi and assistant trainer Mark Littlefield, putting an arm around each man's shoulder and putting no weight on his right leg as he hopped through the clubhouse door.
As they waited for the medical results, his teammates, who have come to see Rivera as an invincible, ageless marvel, universally said they weren't sure what had happened, that they only saw the aftermath—but that Rivera appeared to be in serious pain.
Now in his 18th season, Rivera has shagged fly balls in the outfield nearly every day over his lengthy career and is known as a graceful athlete.
He has also proven to be remarkably durable. Rivera hasn't seen the disabled list since 2003, when he missed the first month of the season with a groin injury. He has been on the DL five times, three with groin issues and twice with minor shoulder problems.
That durability has been one of the underrated keys to his dominant career. The 42-year-old Yankee closer set the career save record last season when he surpassed Trevor Hoffman with his 602nd save, and his excellence has continued into this season, when he has five saves with a 2.16 ERA after blowing the first game of the year against Tampa.
Rivera is in the last year of his Yankee contract, and he has regularly dropped hints that this could be his final season. If a serious knee injury is involved, the closer may not want to spend the time getting back into game shape after a long layoff if retirement was on his mind anyway.
The Yankees are well-suited to fill his spot.
Relievers David Robertson and Rafael Soriano would be closers on any other team, and either could easily take over closing duties. Soriano has seasons of 27 saves with Atlanta and 45 saves with Tampa under his belt.
Robertson, meanwhile, hasn't allowed an earned run since August of 2011, and has struck out 18 batters in 11 scoreless innings so far this season. He figures to be Rivera's long-term successor anyway. But no one could ever replace Rivera, either on the field or in the clubhouse, where he is respected and beloved by young and old players alike.
The sound of stunned silence among the Yankees as they loped in from batting practice was telling—they all seemed to be in disbelief that Rivera could suffer something as simple and mortal as a knee injury.

Ethnic Warfare on the Wane
In November 1999, Indonesia's new president, Abdurrahman Wahid, promised in both Jakarta and Washington to hold a referendum on autonomy in the secessionist province of Aceh. His government reportedly started negotiating with representatives of the Free Aceh movement -- something flatly unthinkable under Wahid's autocratic predecessor, Suharto.
Wahid's actions are hardly isolated. Indeed, they bespeak a new global strategy to contain ethnic conflict. Its essential principles are that threats to divide a country should be managed by the devolution of state power and that communal fighting about access to the state's power and resources should be restrained by recognizing group rights and sharing power. The conventional wisdom, of course, is that tribal and nationalist fighting is still rising frighteningly. But in fact, the rash of ethnic warfare peaked in the early 1990s -- countered, in most regions, by the application of these principles.
The brutality of the conflicts in Kosovo, East Timor, and Rwanda -- and the messiness of the international responses to them -- obscures the larger shift from confrontation toward accommodation. But the trends are there: a sharp decline in new ethnic wars, the settlement of many old ones, and proactive efforts by states and international organizations to recognize group rights and channel ethnic disputes into conventional politics. In Kosovo and East Timor, intervention was chosen only after other means failed. The fact that the United States, NATO, the United Nations, and Australia intervened was itself a testament to the underlying premise

Everything You Need To Know About J.Crew's London Takeover
If the rumours are to be believed, J.Crew is planning big things for its London takeover this fall. Everyone's favourite U.S. import will be opening its doors on Regent Street, in the same space Burberry occupied until recently. The latest whispers surrounding the brand are that they are also looking for locations for not one, but five different formats of stores. There is even talk of a standalone menswear shop.
We find it hard not to get a little carried away with this type of information. Seriously, five J.Crew stores on our proverbial doorstep! It's almost too good to be true. Whether it's actually too good to be true remains to be seen. J.Crew isn't saying anything. We will just have to cross all our fingers and toes till autumn. Now, that is going to be an interesting look for summer. (Drapers)

Today in Tim Pawlenty Trying to Not Be Boring
He kind of likes Lady Gaga a little.
"In terms of the beat, I like 'Bad Romance.' I gotta say that even though she's a little unusual, 'Born This Way' has got some appeal. She's actually very talented. If you go to the Lady Gaga HBO special, and you watch her sing a cappella, 'Born This Way', she can sing. And she does it a cappella. So, interesting, talented, a little weird but you know." Tim Pawlenty on liking Lady Gaga a little bit but not too much [Glittarazi via Click/Politico]

I've been busy working on a preparing and baking food for our Christmas Eve dinner, and I came across this recipe quite by accident. I replaced the pomegranate juice with 1 1/2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses. Used Reed's Ginger Brew brand ginger ale which is a favorite of mine.

eaman wrote:Says someone who doesn't watch barca very much. Any barca fan will tell you the difference he makes to the team. When he's not there they are more vulnerable defensively and aren't as free flowing in their passing. You think coz he doesn't have much pace he wouldn't do well in another team but look at mikel . He does ok with his lack of pace and busquets is better positional and passing wise
eaman wrote:He plays against plenty of good midfielders in la liga and the champions league and does brilliantly in his role. He is a completely different type of player to dembele anyway. He plays in the mikel or yaya toure role and is better under pressure than both. Also there isn't much difference in midfield in la liga and the premiership. The way barca play makes it look like they have more time. I have actually seen a few la liga games this year that were quicker than some premier league games
eaman wrote:Listen toure is better at bursting forward and beating a couple of men and also shooting and scoring but he is not better at doing what busquets does best which is sitting in midfield and cutting out attacks and definately toure isn't better in tight areas. Busquets is one of the best first time passers out there which is why he rarely gets caught in possession. This is why guardiola preferred him to toure.

Psychoactive drugs create conformists
Published: Friday, July 7, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 7, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Seventeen-year-old professional golfer Michelle Wie on being an American:
"America stands for freedom, freedom of culture, freedom of religion, freedom of everything.
"I think being an American is about liberty to be whoever you want."
Unfortunately, it is this liberty to be whomever you want that psychiatry takes away with its practice of cosmetic psychopharmacology.
Cosmetic drugs, starting with Prozac, strip away the real you with an entirely new and improved creation, a person who is happy, healthy, positive, outgoing -- an "I'm OK, you're OK" type of person.
What's wrong with that, you ask? Two things are wrong with that:
No. 1, the real you disappears for as long as you take these psychoactive cosmetic drugs. And No. 2, if you were a social reformer with alternative wisdom prior to taking a cosmetic drug, you won't be while you're taking the drug, because you will be so content with the world as it presently is that all you'll want to do is bond with the world and adopt its conventional wisdom.

I have some questions concerning CPU temperature on my Ubuntu 8.10.
My laptop shuts itself down, which I guess is due to high CPU temperature. I want to confirm this by looking at some system log file that records the reason that the system shuts itself down. Is there any such syslog file? Where is it stored?
Also I have installed libsensors, which gives me different temperatures
$ sensors acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +49.0°C (crit = +97.0°C) k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter Core0 Temp: +57.0°C
What do "acpitz-virtual-0" and "k8temp-pci-00c3" mean? As well as the meaning of "temp1" and "Core0 Temp"? Are the two temperatures both CPU temperatures?
Is the temperature given by
acpi -t
another different measure of CPU temperature?
I also wonder what you will do if the CPU temperature is exceeding some limit that you find is dangerous? I have also installed Computer Temperature Monitor (computertemp), which allows me to set up a limit temperature for alarm as well as command to execute when the limit is reached. So what command will you issue or things will you do when the temperature is exceeding the set limit to protect your laptop, instead of letting it shuts itself down?

Deadline Extended for Red Flag Rule
October 23, 2008
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced yesterday that it will delay enforcement of its recent identity theft regulations, known as the Red Flags Rule, until May 1, 2009. This will give creditors and financial institutions subject to the FTC rule six more months to develop appropriate policies.
In its announcement, the FTC noted that "some industries and entities within the FTC's jurisdiction have expressed confusion and uncertainty about their coverage under the rule." Further, many entities learned of the requirements too late to be able to comply by the original November 1 deadline. Higher education institutions are likely included in these groups.
The enforcement delay only pertains to the identity theft rules under 16 CFR 681.2. It does not extend to the requirements relating to address discrepancies under 681.1 or change of address requests to card issuers under 681.3.
NACUBO will continue to work with other associations and institutions to provide resources to colleges and universities in complying with the rules. Visit the Red Flags Rule resource page for more information.

Skip to comments.How not to be poor (Walter E. Williams)
Posted on 05/11/2005 3:55:44 AM PDT by The Great Yazoo
Ministers Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Washington, D.C.'s Mayor Anthony Williams and others recently met to discuss plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the October 1995 Million Man March. Whilst reading about the plans, I thought of an excellent topic for the event: how not to be poor.
Avoiding long-term poverty is not rocket science. First, graduate from high school. Second, get married before you have children, and stay married. Third, work at any kind of job, even one that starts out paying the minimum wage. And, finally, avoid engaging in criminal behavior. If you graduate from high school today with a B or C average, in most places in our country there's a low-cost or financially assisted post-high-school education program available to increase your skills.
Most jobs start with wages higher than the minimum wage, which is currently $5.15. A man and his wife, even earning the minimum wage, would earn $21,000 annually. According to the Bureau of Census, in 2003, the poverty threshold for one person was $9,393, for a two-person household it was $12,015, and for a family of four it was $18,810. Taking a minimum-wage job is no great shakes, but it produces an income higher than the Bureau of Census' poverty threshold. Plus, having a job in the first place increases one's prospects for a better job.
The Children's Defense Fund and civil rights organizations frequently whine about the number of black children living in poverty. In 1999, the Bureau of the Census reported that 33.1 percent of black children lived in poverty compared with 13.5 percent of white children. It turns out that race per se has little to do with the difference. Instead, it's welfare and single parenthood. When black children are compared to white children living in identical circumstances, mainly in a two-parent household, both children will have the same probability of being poor.
How much does racial discrimination explain? So far as black poverty is concerned, I'd say little or nothing, which is not to say that every vestige of racial discrimination has been eliminated. But let's pose a few questions. Is it racial discrimination that stops black students from studying and completing high school? Is it racial discrimination that's responsible for the 68 percent illegitimacy rate among blacks?
The 1999 Bureau of Census report might raise another racial discrimination question. Among black households that included a married couple, over 50 percent were middle class earning above $50,000, and 26 percent earned more than $75,000. How in the world did these black families manage not to be poor? Did America's racists cut them some slack?
The civil rights struggle is over, and it has been won. At one time, black Americans did not have the same constitutional protections as whites. Now, we do, because the civil rights struggle is over and won is not the same as saying that there are not major problems for a large segment of the black community. What it does say is that they're not civil rights problems, and to act as if they are leads to a serious misallocation of resources.
Rotten education is a severe handicap to upward mobility, but is it a civil rights problem? Let's look at it. Washington, D.C. public schools, as well as many other big city schools, are little more than educational cesspools. Per student spending in Washington, D.C., is just about the highest in the nation. D.C.'s mayors have been black, and so have a large percentage of the city council, school principals, teachers and superintendents. Suggesting that racial discrimination plays any part in Washington, D.C.'s educational calamity is near madness and diverts attention away from possible solutions.
Bill Cosby had the courage to speak out against individual irresponsibility. Surely those who profess to have the best interests of blacks at heart should be able to summon the courage to do so as well.

I can never figure out if Walter E. Williams is the smartest man in the world or if it's Thomas Sowell, but I'm pretty convinced it's one of the two. I particularly enjoy Williams' columns, and he is my favorite of Rush fill-ins.
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
Bump for a good read.
He's the only EIB guest host that I can listen to AT ALL.
One attraction of his Rush fill-ins is that Thomas Sowell often appears.
Thomas Sowell is America's greatest living intellectual, but Walter Williams is a more accessible journalist.
If you're making a list, it better include those two gentlemen.
Good read.
It is sure that they are smart, educated folk, but to say they may be the smartest is probably just racial pandering.
They are consistently willing to state the obvious, and that is why most of us love them. That they are black, is why they are celebrated, by us conservatives, in the light of JJ, Rev Al, etal...
I have my own pick for smartest, but he probably isn't... he just acts like it!
I can truly say that I love to hear and read comments made by Walter E. Williams. His common sense and logic hits the nail right on the head every time and does so with so very few words.
Sure is a marked contrast to Michael Eric Dyson (who has a new book out trashing Cosby's comments).
Dyson is slated to do a book interview on C-SPAM2 Sunday at 9 pm.
I see. Noted.
Explain to me how this is racial pandering. It might be exaggeration for effect - maybe - but their race has nothing to do with it. My opinion is that as economists writing about public policy they have no peers - particularly Sowell in the arena of education. You're certainly free to disagree with me, but that's just an absurd accusation.
If we're using "smartest" as a shorthand term to praise a person's intellectual output, Thomas Sowell would have to be included irrespective of his race. I don't find Mr. Williams' work to be comparably original and deep, although he is certainly a solid economist and a clever writer and speaker.
Milton Friedman is often compared to Thomas Sowell, which makes sense, since he is Dr. Sowell's intellectual mentor. Judge Robert Bork is also a great and productive mind. Others could be named (but I need more coffee).
You're predicament is not half as bad as Hillary's when she discovered that not only is she not the smartest woman in the world... but that the smartest woman in the world is closer to the WhiteHouse and to being president than Hillary is.
My wife isn't running for president.
LOL! It's amazing, really, how many people who consider themselves intelligent, and who have (if nothing else) many years of higher education, are still unable to assimilate the dazzlingly obvious facts presented in Mr. Williams' column.
Black by popular demand ping.
Best advice I ever heard was from Ed Beckley, one of the original TV real estate hucksters. He said, "If you don't want to be poor, go out and look at what the poor people do. Then don't do it! it's so simple!"
YES it is Walter! Those people hate whites so much that they refuse to "play the game" and act white in any way. Even to the point of refusing to pull up their pants or get out of the street when those white people are trying to get to work. Black racism is what prevents them from getting married, getting jobs, fathering their children or simply being satisfied with a few beers on weekends rather than crack.
Not only are they both smart as whips and very courageous, but both have the unique ability (not shared by most smart people) to actually have original thoughts.
I agree. I like him especially because when he fills in for Rush he always has Thomas Sowell on as a guest.
BTW, did you see Sowell on Hannity & whats his face the other night. He made whats his face look like a fool. Easy to do I suppose but enjoyable nonetheless.
This is " pat the n..... on the head" stuff. I have nothing but the greatest respect for these guys, but having had many personal discussions with a certain black Supreme Court Justice, I can say that HE is head and shoulders above both!
Too many people seek role models, but find them lacking in one area or another. If you want the best model, pick the best person.
These guys are role models, but not just for the black community. They are role models for all up and coming conservatives! To constantly point to their black-ness, is not descriptive, it is bigotry, and places them on a separate scale...
Ben Stein is a Jew. They are often reviled more than blacks, but you never hear him named as that Jew, Ben Stein!
I can't understand why Rush doesn't use him more often. He is AWESOME!
Common Sense has been outlawed by Congress.
ping for later read
Second, get married before you have children, and stay married.
Third, work at any kind of job, even one that starts out paying the minimum wage.
And, finally, avoid engaging in criminal behavior.
I'm screwed.
bump for later
How anyone can label a declaration of Sowell as one of our greatest intellectuals "pandering" is beyond me.
So far, you're the only one to mention their race. I brought up their intelligence.
This is " pat the n..... on the head" stuff
Who exactly are you talking to?
He is "one of the" smartest... But, that is not what was said, in the post to which I responded.
It's a pet peeve! Broad statements (like this one), with sweeping exagerations, are like lousy novels. They lack the ability to provoke rational responses...
There are plenty of minds to be considered! What if the smartest guy is a little Tibetan monk?
Your response may prove to the point.
Dunno, but he cracks me up when he talks about Mrs. Williams.
Remember "OPM"? What's OPM, you ask?... drumroll please... "other people's money"!
My head hurts.
It should come with a "do not try this at home" disclaimer. I've attempted to suggest to my wife that perhaps she should clean the gutters, but it's not been met with very good results.
Conservative, not Republican, Bump!
Bigotry is an amazing thing. It shows in everything we do and say! It is subtle, and colorblind.
We question the words, and motives, of other people to determine whether they "think like us". We try to determine whether we should have 'fellowship" with them, or shun them.
Color is a fact of life, and so is intelligence. We are all granted enough of each, to make us who we are...
Sorry if I am offensive. I just want us all to get along...
> Dunno, but he cracks me up when he talks about Mrs. Williams.<
His conversations about Mrs Williams must send every militant Code Pink-O into foaming-at-the-mouth fits. Heh, heh. Makes me love Dr Williams even more.
Dyson? I'll be sure NOT to watch.
That's Hannity and Puke, don't you know nothin'?
Don't stop now.
There is no blame game here. The article owns responsibility. It's a good thing that there are black leaders who recognize their responsiblities to themselves and their black community.
I'm heading out to the mountain, to go walking with my dog! He will run for about five miles, in front of the car. Then, I walk 3-5 miles on the trail, while he is incessantly criss-crossing and backtracking, running constantly. I get back in the car, and he runs another 2 miles to the lake, where he goes for a swim. I like that part, because he rarely misses a puddle...
I think my time will be better used this morning! My feet are getting in the way!
I'd be willing to bet Mr. Williams rarely tries any of his claims at home. I was driving once when he mentioned he was purchasing Mrs. Williams an ironing board for their anniversary. It was most entertaining.

Tax Pitfalls for Fund Investors
Avoiding these five mistakes can save you grief and put more money in your pocket
Fund investors can go wrong in all sorts of ways. But since mid-April is fast approaching, let's talk about one of the most common and least understood: taxes.

Rachel Louise Ensign shares some tips on being a tax-wise fund investor.
Even if it is too late to do anything about this year's returns, it is a good time to start planning for next year's.
At the root of the most common blunders are three types of taxable fund payouts: interest income, dividends and capital gains. While all three are subject to a complex web of tax rates and regulations, investors can limit their tax bills by understanding their funds, planning carefully and staying abreast of tax changes in Washington.
Here, according to financial advisers, are five of the biggest mistakes many fund investors make:
1. Keeping 'tax-inefficient' funds in a taxable brokerage account
Some types of funds distribute lots of dividends, interest income and capital gains, all of which can boost tax bills. Many investors would be better off holding those funds in tax-sheltered retirement accounts. With a standard 401(k) plan or individual retirement account, you pay tax only when you make withdrawals; earnings and withdrawals usually are tax-free in a Roth 401(k) or Roth IRA.
Tax-efficient funds—those unlikely to make big distributions—can be left in a taxable account, says Michael Gibney, a financial adviser in Riverdale, N.J. You will owe capital-gains tax if you sell those securities at a gain, but at least the timing of such sales is under your control.
Taxable-bond funds, including high-yield funds and funds holding Treasury inflation-protected securities, are among the investments you might consider holding in an IRA, advisers say. Ditto for funds that emphasize high-dividend stocks. Meanwhile, index funds that track a broad stock-market benchmark—and most but not all ETFs—might be candidates for a taxable account, as would municipal bond funds, since interest earned is tax-free.
Determining whether a fund is going to have capital gains can be tricky. Each year, funds must distribute gains if portfolio managers sell securities for a net taxable gain. One indicator is the level of turnover in the portfolio, though, admittedly, it is an imprecise gauge.
The higher a fund's turnover, a figure that can be found on Morningstar.com, the more likely it is to pay out capital gains, says Mark Armbruster, president of Armbruster Capital Management, which is in the Rochester, N.Y., area. If a fund has paid out capital gains in the past, something that also can be found on Morningstar, that also is a sign it may do so again, he says.
Small-stock funds may produce more capital gains than large-stock funds, advisers say, because there are many more small stocks to trade among.
Broad index funds, which don't change their holdings very often, are less likely to pay out capital gains than some actively managed funds that change their investments based on market conditions. The Vanguard 500 Index fund, for example, has a 4% turnover ratio and hasn't distributed capital gains since 1999. The actively managed CGM Focus, on the other hand, has a nearly 500% turnover rate. It has performed poorly in recent years, so it hasn't been in a position to distribute gains, but it distributed $8.21 a share in mostly short-term capital gains in 2007.
Still, when and why a fund realizes capital gains is complex, so "turnover is only a very rough gauge of tax efficiency," says Christine Benz, director of personal finance at Morningstar. Another gauge is Morningstar's "potential capital-gains exposure" statistic, an estimate of the percentage of a fund's assets that represent mostly unrealized gains.
ETFs, in particular, rarely distribute capital gains, Mr. Armbruster says. That is because most are index funds but also because they are structured to minimize taxable sales of portfolio securities.
2. Holding on to funds that cost you big
Capital gains, whether taken on purpose by the investor or passed along by a fund, can add to your tax bill. But you can lessen their impact by strategically booking capital losses when holdings decline in value, so that they offset any gains dollar for dollar. In any year, if your capital losses exceed your capital gains, you can take up to $3,000 of the loss as a tax deduction and carry the rest of the loss forward to offset gains in future years.
This "tax-loss harvesting" has to be done carefully, however, to comply with Internal Revenue Service rules. Once you sell a fund or other security at a loss, you have to wait 30 days before buying either that same fund or a very similar fund (for instance, one that tracks the same index), or the loss is invalidated. "The securities cannot be 'substantially identical,' " says Gil Charney, principal tax researcher at the Tax Institute at H&R Block, a division of H&R Block Inc., but "the IRS never clearly defined what substantially identical means.… It's gray."
If you want to keep exposure to the sector that fund covered, you can buy a slightly different fund—for instance, you likely could sell a fund tracking the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index and immediately buy one tracking the Russell 1000, says Mr. Armbruster. You could later return to your original holding.
Keep tax-loss harvesting in mind any time the market or a particular holding suffers a major decline; you'll miss opportunities if you think about this only near year-end.
3. Buying an ETF without learning what its tax treatment is
Gains and income from certain ETFs are subject to funky tax rules because of the funds' holdings or their corporate structures. Though most of these aberrations invest in niche industries, some of the most popular ETFs could leave you with a surprisingly large tax bill.
The most popular offender: Gains from selling SPDR Gold Shares, GLD 1.03 % the second-largest exchange-traded product by assets, are taxed at a top 28% rate on collectibles, rather than the maximum 15% rate on long-term capital gains. That is true for all other funds that hold physical precious metals.
There are different rules for ETFs that provide commodities exposure by investing in futures contracts: Gains are taxed 60% at a long-term rate and 40% at a short-term rate. ETFs structured this way include some from the U.S. Commodity, PowerShares and ProShares families.
Also, some non-stock ETFs are structured as partnerships and report their tax information on a Schedule K-1 instead of the common 1099 form. Schedule K-1 typically is sent later than a 1099—it may not even arrive before your tax return is due because the partnership has to file its own return before sending you this form, says Eric Smith, an IRS spokesman. In this situation, you'll want to ask for an extension from the IRS, he says. You can avoid these hassles by holding these funds in an IRA.
4. Fudging the new forms
Reporting securities sales on your tax return has gotten more complex, with new rules that require brokerage firms and fund companies to report to the IRS what you paid for some securities you sell. Because that reporting applies only to securities purchased after specified dates, you may have sales of both "covered" and non-covered assets. As in the past, for non-covered securities, the financial firm may voluntarily provide cost information only to you.
The new rules could make tax preparation more complex, tripping up some investors.
"Basically what they've done is taken Schedule D and added a new schedule behind it—Form 8949. All the transactions you used to put directly on Schedule D…are now on this new form," says Robert Schmansky, a financial adviser in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
The most important thing to know about Form 8949 is that you will have to separate the covered transactions from those that aren't and report them on different lines. Individual stocks purchased on or after Jan. 1, 2011, are covered; for mutual funds and most ETFs, the new treatment applies to purchases on or after Jan. 1, 2012. Then, you must add the covered and non-covered transactions and put the total on Schedule D.
5. Investing without paying attention to the tax debate in Washington
When deciding when to take gains and what account to hold various funds in, it is important to stay abreast of what is going on in Washington.
Think hard about where tax rates are likely headed in the future. While some tax changes affecting funds are already in store, some experts watching the political debate—and the ballooning federal deficit—say investors may want to hedge their bets against higher rates and pay taxes on their gains soon.
There are a number of big tax changes on tap starting in 2013 that could deal a huge blow to your funds. If the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, the top rate on ordinary income and short-term capital gains will rise to 39.6% from 35%.
The current top 15% rate on long-term capital gains is set to rise to 20%. Qualified dividends will no longer be taxed at a top 15% rate and will be taxed as ordinary income. Also, net investment income, which includes dividends, interest and capital gains, will be subject to a new 3.8% Medicare tax, part of the Affordable Care Act, for married couples filing jointly who earn more than $250,000 a year and individuals earning more than $200,000 a year.
One possibility is that some of the current rates will be extended for most taxpayers, but not for high earners. "People who are over the $250,000 mark—Obama has drawn a line in the sand for those people," says Ken Weingarten, a financial adviser in Lawrenceville, N.J. "It's going to be crazy after the election. There is going to be a lot of horse trading to get these things straightened out."
If you think that your tax rate on capital gains will rise soon, you may want to book a capital gain this year to lock in the 15% rate. Unlike with a capital loss, if you're booking a gain you can repurchase the same exact fund in any quantity immediately after selling it.

So i want to block all unwanted out-bound traffic , specially traffic from unwarranted allowed ports both TCP and UDP and also get a email alert if any script or app tries to contact outbound port.
eg; if someone installs a IRC chat script, it should be block when deamon attempts to run and connect on configured outbound port etc.
I want a script to get all the attempt of this outbound traffic and email it so i can see the atttempts done.
The allowed ports will be the usual 80,993,25,3006 and other normal hosting related ports.
how do i proceed to make such setup? to start i can think of csf/apf and or tcp_wrapper with some iptables and finish it with bash script to collect/email the attempt. can someone guide me exactly on this?

Re: Discover 10% or $12% off gift cards

No. If you read the ShopDiscover terms for Walmart, it specifically says it does not cover gift cards. And the 5% quarterly bonus does not apply to purchases "made at warehouse clubs, wholesale distributors, or discount stores" which includes Walmart.
Does this mean all stores come under this category ? If we choose target, jcp, old navy or macys ??
It depends on how the purchase is coded. All of those places are also on ShopDiscover. If you have made a purchase at one of them in the past, find it in your transaction history, click the arrow icon next to it to see more information, and look for the Merchant Category Description. Walmart shows up as "DISCOUNT STORES." Sam's Club shows up as "WHOLESALE CLUBS." SuperTarget shows up as "GROCERY STORES AND SUPERMARKETS." Not sure how regular Target shows up, but I would guess it would be the same as Walmart.

Fletcher body shop owner accused of insurance scam
George Connolly of Wreck Amended Auto Collision charged with obtaining property by false pretense
Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 7:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 7:34 p.m.
A Fletcher body shop owner was arrested Jan. 12 and charged with one count of obtaining property by false pretense after investigators say he knowingly accepted payment from two insurance companies for the same repair job.
George Connolly, 58, of 173 Underwood Road, who operated Wreck Amended Auto Collision, was charged with the class H felony and released on a $500 secured bond.
"Department of Insurance criminal investigators allege that on Feb. 8, 2012, Connolly received checks from two insurance companies for the same repair work, resulting in him knowingly accepting a duplicate payment. Connolly is also accused of forging a signature on one of the checks, which was made payable to the owner of the damaged vehicle," according to a news release from the N.C. Department of Insurance.
It was unknown, at press time, if Connolly had obtained legal representation.
"The Department of Insurance employs 20 sworn state law enforcement officers dedicated to investigating and prosecuting claims of insurance and bail bonding fraud," according to NCDOI.
To report suspected fraud, contact the Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division at 919-807-6840. Callers may remain anonymous. Information is also available at www.ncdoi.com.
