Two days (about 1hr total) because I made a habit of only doing 10 minutes at a time so I would not get into a hurry. I would do it on break from the computer.
Solder Gun:
It was the one from work (nice one) it's a regulated Weller with a standard tip. The tip is somewhat oval, just don't use a pointed tip. Grind it down first if that's all you have.
They don't really develop. You can always go over it again after it cools (5secs) to smooth it out.
Go SLOW, take break, listen to streaming Smooth Jazz :)

HARRISBURG, Feb. 17 – State Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, D-Phila., chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus, has announced the PLBC's annual scholarship competition is open for the 2015-16 school year. "I am pleased to announce that the PLBC will again play a role in helping minority students in their pursuit of higher education," Brown said. The scholarships are available for high school seniors and first-year college students who will be enrolled in an accredited two- or four-year Pennsylvania college or university. Brown said the students applying for the scholarship must be a minority student, have a minimum grade-point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, reside in the legislative district of and be sponsored by a PLBC member, and demonstrate leadership qualities. A 500-word essay on the student's academic plans and career goals also must be submitted. "Interested and qualified students should move quickly to apply," Brown said. Only the first 250 applications submitted will be considered. The PLBC plans to award at least 10 scholarships this year. Each scholarship will be $1,000. To obtain an application and more details about the program, students can visit www.pahouse.com/plbc and click on the Scholarships tab . If they have any additional questions about the PLBC Scholarship Program, applicants can contact Brown's office at (717) 772-6955. The deadline to submit an application is Thursday, April 23.

HARRISBURG, Feb. 12 – Following Gov. Tom Wolf's introduction of his Education Reinvestment Act proposal, state Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, D-Phila., chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus, expressed support on behalf of the PLBC members for the prospect of increased state investment in public education. Wolf outlined his Education Reinvestment Act this week which, if enacted, would establish a reasonable severance tax on natural gas produced in the state. That could provide the state with a revenue source which could be used to assist public school budgets, as well as a means to start to attack the structural budget deficit already apparent in the state's budget. "The PLBC would like to thank Governor Wolf for taking the leadership on this issue," Brown said. "He made establishing a fair and reasonable severance tax a key issue in his campaign, and he said during that campaign that revenue could be directed toward our seriously under-funded public schools. "Wolf's proposal demonstrates a change in the philosophy of educational funding for Pennsylvania. Directing money from a severance tax toward education would benefit the drillers, as well as the schools and communities. A highly educated and well-trained work force can only benefit one of the state's newest and fastest-growing industries." "The natural gas extraction process and its related industries can also provide unique business opportunities Read more
HARRISBURG, Jan. 29 – The Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus, under the direction of Chairwoman Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, D-Phila., met with the leadership of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association this week to discuss legislative priorities for the next few years. According to PCPA officials, this was the first time they have met with a collective body of legislators to discuss policies and potential legislation. "This meeting was a great way to open dialogue between law enforcement officials and the PLBC," Brown said. "Recent issues of potential excessive police force in the news have caused concern for the PLBC, as those affected have been predominantly black." Representing the PLBC, in addition to Chairwoman Brown, were Vice Chair Ed Gainey, PLBC and Democratic Caucus Secretary Rosita Youngblood and Reps. Margo Davidson, Jason Dawkins and Steven Kinsey. The PCPA was represented by Executive Director Dane Merryman, Chairman Tom King and President Bill Kelly. Among the most critical proposals discussed was the potential for police officers to wear body cameras while on the job as a way to protect both the public from excessive force as well as the police officers from unjust or unfair claims of violence. The PCPA and PLBC also discussed ways to increase the number of accredited police departments in the commonwealth. Currently, only 100 of the approximately 1,100 departments are fully accredited under current state standards. Read more
HARRISBURG, Jan. 22 – Following President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday evening, state Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, D-Phila., chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus, and its membership expressed support for many of the ideas proposed by the president. "The president's plan for 2015 reflects many of the goals of the PLBC," Brown said. "The needs he addressed Tuesday mirror the needs that we have been fighting for in Pennsylvania. "It is imperative that we afford our children and young adults a solid educational base to develop careers that can provide living wages for a family. That need for quality education starts at the pre-K level and extends to an affordable college education. Two paid years at a local community college would provide a significant start toward the end of successfully pursuing and obtaining a higher education. Equally as important, it would assist in reducing the cost of our young people's student loans, while also providing them with the job skills necessary to compete in the 21 st century." State Rep. Rosita C. Youngblood, House Democratic Caucus secretary and D-Phila., said, "President Obama and Gov. Tom Wolf both laid out an agenda that focuses on putting people first. We need to have policies that raise the minimum wage, provide paid sick and maternity leave for all workers, and fund our schools so that students can get a valued education. We need to help Read more

At the GPU Technology Conference NVIDIA presented some new information about their roadmap and upcoming chips. The next GPU processor scheduled from NVIDIA, the successor to the Tegra 4, is codenamed Logan. Logan uses a Kepler GPU, which finds its roots in chips used for PCs. This will be a first for smartphone and tablet gpu chips which had been custom built for mobile device use up until now. This outgrowth from the personal computer world means NVIDIA was able to include features like CUDA (GPU computing) and Open GL 4.3. This combination means mobile devices with the Logan chip will be able to make use of DirectX11 features. According to NVIDA, Logan should be ready in early 2014.

Malik reached into the grubby paper bag, a shudder running through his arm as his fingers touched the slim plastic tube within. Eyes closed, he carefully gripped the object, drew it from the bag, and opened his eyes to look upon it as it lay across his palm. It was odd, he thought, how such miraculous power could be contained in so small and simple a vessel. But then, he pondered as he reflexively flipped the slim shaft to its most comfortable angle, does the innocuous nature of the conduit not make the power that flows through it all the more... insidious? Surreptitious? He'd find a word later. Now, it was just him and his work.
It took a moment for his out-of-practise fingers to become accustomed to the way the flimsy cylinder spat its contents onto the white handmade paper, but when the fast, spidery script began making its way across the page, the words flowed forth like water from a burst dam: impeded in its quest for far too long, every drop, every atom of the fluid yearning and aching to find its way to the sea from which it had been kept. For years, the people and places, the legends and songs, the plants and animals, all had been trapped within the great simmering vat that was Malik's imagination, but now that they had a way out, they were pouring out of him, becoming solid in the form of words and letters, phrases and sentences, the paragraphs and chapters inexorably filling the reams of paper, that had taken days to craft, in a matter of hours. And still he was not finished.
He began writing on whatever he could find: old food wrappers, scraps of cardboard packaging, the blank backs of the legal records and government documents that were scattered around his house. As he wrote and wrote, concerns for his well-being were left floundering, far from the forefront of his mind. For over two days he neither washed nor ate, he didn't drink except for the occasional sip of coffee, and his eyes never closed except to blink the sweat of his exertions from his eyes Finally, he carefully scratched out the last words of his work across the blank reverse of some canvas that had once hung on his wall, the landscape twisting and distending as it was distorted by the efforts of the much-used nib. With the dying strokes of his apparatus, Malik shaped the final letter of the final sentence of his masterpiece, and heaved a long and heartfelt sigh. Hands trembling, he shuffled the massive heap of writing material into something vaguely resembling order, sat down in his rickety wooden chair, closed his eyes, and waited for the men to come.
It began with shouting. "Malik Oberon, this is the police. You are charged with unauthorised possession of a writing instrument. If you do not open the door immediately, we will we be obliged to use force in order to enter." The voice blared through the windows from a loudspeaker held by an officer below Malik's window. Shortly afterwards, the sound of something heavy slamming against the door made its way up the staircase to the study. The wood splintered, and boot-shod feet tramped across the hall, spreading out across the lowest floor of the house. Another team tramped noisily up the stairs, pausing outside the closed study door. A second later, the portal was kicked violently open, and the black-clad men spread across the wall, their weapons aimed at the grey-haired head of the man sitting at the desk, facing away from them. He did not move an inch. Treading slowly, the leader of the squad made his way to just behind the man, and gently touched his gun to the base of the man's skull. At this slight pressure, the head lolled forwards, and with a noise eerily similar to a sigh, the body of the late Malik Oberon fell forwards, his face flattened against the topmost of the papers before him, the spent pen still clutched in his hand.
Lowering his weapon slowly, the leader of the men stripped off his right glove and touched the man's neck with his forefingers. Exhaling slowly, he straightened up and pushed his dark goggles back from his eyes. "Dead," he proclaimed to his troops. "Simons, sound the all-clear, and let's get out of this dump. Oh, and somebody burn this shit." He waved a hand towards the stacks of paper that surrounded the corpse. "I hate paperwork."

How churches can attract younger people (COMMENTARY)
(RNS) It's not the music or the Facebook page that's a draw. It's responsibility and community.
(RNS) It's not the music or the Facebook page that's a draw. It's responsibility and community.
(RNS) Jewish congregations and organizations are creating innovative programs and making special efforts to connect with college-age students and young people starting out in their careers.
(RNS) A college degree used to mean people were more likely to lose religion. Now, people are losing religion whether they went to college or not.
(RNS) Maybe millennials will find or create secular equivalents to churches and other congregations. But those alternatives will have to match the depth, flexibility, long arc, and motivational force of religion.
(RNS) Facing a steep rise in skeptical views of Scripture, the American Bible Society steps up outreach.
(RNS) Experts say societal changes will accelerate on issues such as same-sex marriage, interracial marriage, legalization of marijuana and childbearing among the unwed. One reason? Younger people are more liberal and less conventional.
(RNS) One day after the state of Ohio executed a man for murder, a new poll shows younger Christians are not as supportive of the death penalty as older members of their faith.
(RNS) Vague Jews and "mushy Christians" have a lot in common. Survey after survey finds many people who don't know or care about doctrine or practice still proudly claim a religious brand identity.
Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride still attract a lot of attention. But as the Internet and other media invade American life, our vices have also gone virtual, according to a new study. By Daniel Burke.

PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Pittsburgh Pirates didn't panic when they fell behind early to the Colorado Rockies for the second straight game.
"This team never gives up," Luis Rivas said. "We're going to work hard the whole way."The second baseman had three hits, three RBIs and finished a home run short of the cycle, as the Pirates rallied again to beat the Rockies 6-4 Tuesday night.Pittsburgh, which fell behind 3-0 to Colorado on Monday before winning 8-4, came back from a 4-0 deficit in the third inning.Rivas, starting in place of injured second baseman Freddy Sanchez, lead the rally. He had a RBI single in the third and added a two-run triple in the fifth against Colorado starter Glendon Rusch."When Luis is called upon to start, he has had some big games," Pittsburgh manager John Russell said. "He did a great job tonight."Rivas, who also doubled in the first, came to bat in the seventh with a chance for the cycle. He hit into a force out and later scored, but admitted he was thinking about the feat."A little bit," he said. "I was just trying to put the ball in play and whatever happened, happened."Down 4-3, the Pirates went ahead by scoring two runs against reliever Matt Herges (3-4) in the sixth. An error by Rockies center fielder Willy Taveras led to a run, and Chris Gomez hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Doug Mientkiewicz with the go-ahead run.Herges, who blew his fifth save, allowed two runs, two hits and walked a batter in one inning. The right-hander has struggled in July. In nine outings, he has allowed 12 earned runs in 10 1/3 innings.Herges blamed his command."That's exactly what it is," he said. "When the ball gets up, it gets hit. They're a good-hitting team, but you can still get them out when you execute your pitches. Tonight, I didn't."Jason Bay, who had two hits, added an RBI in the seventh for the final margin.Nate McLouth had two hits and scored two runs for Pittsburgh. One night after hitting a mammoth home run into the Allegheny River, the outfielder made an outstanding defensive play in the third, leaping at the warning track to catch a fly ball hit by Garrett Atkins.McLouth is making a case for his first Gold Glove. He hasn't committed an error this season."He's done a great job," Russell said. "He's worked awfully hard."Colorado manager Clint Hurdle was impressed by McLouth, whom he managed in the All-Star Game."McLouth's a player," he said. "He plays big. That catch he made tonight, there's not many players in the game that make that catch. He hit a ball in the river [Monday] night. He Mickey Mantled us. I've seen enough."Jason Davis (1-0), making his first appearance since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, pitched a scoreless sixth inning and Tyler Yates earned his first save of the season.Pittsburgh closer Matt Capps is currently on the disabled list with bursitis in his right shoulder, and Yates said he would happy to fill the ninth-inning role. He retired the side Tuesday night."The ninth inning is the hardest to pitch for a reliever," said Yates, who has four career saves. "It gets me pumped up. My heart is still racing right now. I kind of like it."Yates is the only player still on Pittsburgh's roster who has earned a save since Capps' injury. Russell said Yates was his team's best choice Tuesday, on a night when he used five relievers."Tyler was the freshest guy," Russell said. "It was a good situation for us."Brad Hawpe had three hits and two runs, and Ian Stewart had two hits and two RBIs for the Rockies.Colorado had late-inning chances, but left two runners on base in the sixth and seventh."We didn't execute well enough to win tonight," Hurdle said. "That's what we leave with tonight, and we get ready for tomorrow's game."Pittsburgh starter Yoslan Herrera allowed four runs on six hits and four walks in five-plus innings and struck out one. He got his first major league hit when he singled and later scored in the fifth.Rusch allowed three runs on six hits. The left-hander had won his first three starts since joining the Colorado rotation in July.Game notes
Taveras stole his major league leading 47th base in the first innning. He is closing in on team record of 53, set by Eric Young in 1996. ... Colorado scored three runs in the first inning. The Rockies have outscored the Pirates 12-4 in the first inning in six games this season. ... Pittsburgh popped out four times to Colorado catcher Chris Iannetta.

U.S. court's decision on B-1 Visa hurts Narayana Murthy
Infosys Technologies Chief Mentor and outgoing Chairman N. R. Narayana Murthy, who chaired his last annual general body meeting here on Saturday, said that he felt sad at Infosys being issued a subpoena by a grand jury in the U.S. on the B-1 visa issue.
"I feel sad that Infosys, voted most often as India's most respected company during 1995-2011, has been issued a subpoena. The issue will be decided on its merits in due course," Mr. Murthy, who co-founded the company, said in his speech to the shareholders at the 30th AGM.
His comment follows the legal notice issued to the company by a district court in Texas over alleged violation of visa rules.
"However, this is the time to continue and strengthen our well-acclaimed and much respected focus on embracing meritocracy, transparency and openness of discussions and consultations with competent colleagues…This is the path I have walked during the last 30 years at Infosys with much peace of mind and a clear conscience," said Mr. Murthy, who is set to retire on August 20.
Strong board
Four new directors have been inducted into the board of directors of Infosys, an announcement made on Saturday said. They include Chief Financial Officer V. Balakrishnan, Senior Vice-President and Head (Manufacturing, Product Engineering, Product Lifecycle and Engineering Solutions) B. G. Srinivas and Senior Vice-President and Head-Banking and Capital Markets and Strategic Global Sourcing Ashok Vemuri.
Besides, the board has inducted non-Executive Director at Unilever, Novartis AG and General Electric Ann Fudge as the additional director. "While Ms. Fudge's term starts from October 1, the appointment of the other three comes into effect immediately," Co-chairman of Infosys Kris Gopalakrishnan said.
Commenting on these appointments, Mr. Narayana Murthy said that with the addition of four directors, the board would be the finest and strongest that Infosys ever had.
One more quits
Meanwhile, Mr. Gopalakrishnan announced that Senior Vice-president (Communications, Media and Entertainment, Global Sales, Alliance and Marketing) at Infosys Subash Dhar had decided to quit. "He has told us that he would like to look at a start-up and wants to be entrepreneur."
Saturday was also the last day in office for Director (Human Resources) T. V. Mohandas Pai, who has resigned. Another co-founder K. Dinesh, who was director and Head Communication Design Group, Information Systems and Quality and Productivity, has not sought re-appointment.
PTI reports:
Mr. Murthy said there should be a thrust on communicating the importance of values at every level in the organisation, besides benchmarking with "the global best in every dimension, encourage innovation at every level to perform at global levels and create a worthwhile vision and improve every day.''
"This is how our mantra of focussing on speed, imagination and excellence in execution will take this company very far," he said.
Mr. Murthy founded Infosys in 1981 along with six others with a paltry capital of $250. The country's second biggest software services company now generates revenues in excess of $6 billion and has an employee strength of 1.31 lakh.
Noting that the company is completing 30 years of its operations this year, he said, "Going from the first major client win of Data Basics Corporation to 600-plus clients today, and from a small rented office space in Pune to over 60 development centres worldwide occupying over 27 million sq. ft. has been exhilarating as well as humbling."
Earlier, Mr. Murthy described himself as an average guy with 'many below-average attributes', and said his life story should encourage ordinary people who wanted to make a difference in the world.
"As I close, I thank God, this country, this world, family, relatives and friends for helping me — an average person with many below-average attributes — to add whatever little value I have to this country and to the world," Mr. Murthy said.
The software industry icon, who was given a standing ovation at his address on the company's AGM, said, "My life story should be a confidence booster for every average person in the world that he or she can indeed make a difference at least in a small way to this world."
He said the Infosys journey had been an integral part of his life.

This product was poorly constructed.
The hat was wonderful in shape but no care was taken to make sure the print in the material matched up. This made the hat look lop-sided and I was very disappointed. I would not where this hat for fear of being picked on because the design is so crooked.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
The sad fact of classics is that very few of them are perfect. "Morning Bell" on Radiohead's Kid A? They coulda done without it. An American in Paris' 20-minute closing sequence? Too long, and not very fun. But the reason that they're all classics is that they breathe vitality and novelty decades after their release. That can't be said for some of the most critically acclaimed releases nowadays (e.g., Iron Man, though it is very enjoyable). And goddamn, does Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid breathe. There's a sense of newness in the opening frame, a credit sequence that features a silent film about the eponymous characters. We then proceed to the semi-true-story of Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford), outlaws in the American West in the very early 20th century. But this isn't a Western. It dabbles in many genres, with hints of drama, comedy, action, maybe even farce. Cassidy and Kid rob a bunch of banks and trains in Bonnie & Clyde's vein, and given their good nature, we feel no guilt in laughing with them. That's more or less the whole story once you add in the part of them continually running from the law. Newman and Redford have always been pleasant actors, and their fleshy goodwill here makes them very enjoyable. Director George Roy Hill is very ambitious and creative with William Goldman's quirky script -- the movie is saturated with montages, and rarely do they become tedious. In fact, their mere innovation carries us through them. There's one that features stills of the antiheroes gambling and dancing with their ladyfriend Etta Place (Katherine Ross). That's displayed in sepia tone -- a coloring scheme that also marks the film's distinctive opening action. Moments like these pull viewers straight through. On top of these qualities, the whole experience is downright fun -- there's not much deep reading to be had for it, other than that greed will probably kill you in the long run. Most buddy films released nowadays -- Rush Hour, Starsky & Hutch -- feature compadres who can't get along. Cassidy and Kid do get along, and the rare moments when they don't, where inner tensions creep out, are funnier because of that. We like these guys, and when their lives in danger, we become squeamish. But even if we didn't like them, Hill is a talented enough director to make the adventure completely thrilling, and the climax is one of the most hair-raising in cinematic history. Rating: A

Basics : PersonalityIf there's one thing which I look out for in a character sheet, it's the personality section. Of all the details you can add to a character sheet, personality is arguably the most important and the most crucial of them all. It defines exactly who your character is above their name, age, gender and species. That is who they truly are, because that is what people will see about them beyond what they look like and first impression, and the way that the character will act towards other people. "Other people" isn't just everyone in general; if a certain type of people will make your character act differently, it should be mentioned.It's crucial that your character features a personality which you like and which you think you have a chance at imitating efficiently in a roleplay. If you don't like their personality, then chances are you won't like the character at all, and if you can't play the character's personality correctly, the other person or people you roleplay with may get disinteres
Using Elements for CharactersUse the four elements and think about what personality traits would be associated with each element. Assign an element to a character. You do not have to use all the personality traits associated with an element, but you should make sure you have a nice balance of good and bad traits. Good traits make the character likable, while bad traits (or character flaws) make them relatable.For more unique characters, try combining elements, like water + earth = mud, and fire + water = steam. If any traits clash or cancel out each other, remove one of them. I wouldn't recommend you combine more than two elements, because the character might become unbalanced.Earth:Good:- reliable- sturdy- brave- strong- busy- wise- patient- empathetic- quiet- resourceful- loyal- frugal- creativeBad:- strict- stubborn- easily annoyed- grouchy- lazy- fussy- obnoxious- disinterested- serious- anti social- snobbish- messySummary: Earth is a sturdy and strong element, commonly ass
The Not So Obvious TutorialThe Not So Obvious Tutorialby EHBMy tenth grade English teacher always said to start writing three lines below the title. I have never found if that is actually an official rule of writing, but like all official rules of writing, I follow them if I want and break them if it works better. There are lots of guidelines to writing for the better of the world, just like there are lots of guidelines to life.You know, that rule that you cant date anyone in the same workplace or one of you will get fired? Although most people just laugh at that rule, say its stupid, I will quote Laurence, a fictional character from the novel series Temeraire by Naomi Novik. There must be a price for such things, or else men would do them more often. In other words, rules that seem stupid only seem that way because we live in a checked world. Chaos is not rampant, for certain, and it is possible that the person frustrated with the rules would not be someone to make the best example fo

Adventures with Chumby

I haven't been able to get all the things I wanted to get onto the Chumby onto it. However, after actually using the Chumby for a couple weeks, I'm not so sure they were good ideas to begin with.
The main reason for this is that my intended recipe search, shopping list creator and meal planning widgets all would require extensive text input, and that is where the Chumby is not ideal. The Chumby is mainly an output device, suited to displaying various bits of information. Input is best limited to simple interactions, such as tapping on buttons and sliding your finger around the screen.
The Chumby can handle text input, and some widgets require it. The control panel, for example, has a simple on-screen keyboard where you enter in your wireless settings during the Chumby's initial setup. Also, in the music interface, there is another on-screen keyboard where you enter in the location of the music stream to which you want to connect. But, supporting text input where required and doing a lot of text input are two very different things.
After entering text in just those two above-mentioned places, I could see it was not something I would want to do on a regular basis with the Chumby, because although it works, it's slow. The problem is that when using the Chumby, the natural thing to do is to use your fingers, and most widgets—if they have buttons at all—keep them large and few in number. For effective text input, you need a lot of small buttons, and on the Chumby's screen, lots of small buttons practically requires you to use a stylus—not something I want to have to use with the Chumby.
I toyed around with using an RSS widget to display recipe data from sites that offer it, such as Taste-of-Home's Recipe of the Day, but as you can see from the screenshot, my testing did not go so well.
The Chumby is an amazing device. It can be adapted to fit in with almost any room in the house and can display any sort of data that can be displayed within the confines of the Flash file format.
New widgets come out all the time, and the basic software is under constant improvement. Check out chumby.com and browse the available widgets; there's something for everyone.
The Chumby is also very hackable. The underlying operating system is embedded Linux, and all the source code (apart from a few licensed bits that they aren't allowed to disclose) and complete hardware schematics are available on the Chumby Web site. The developers really seem to get the idea of making a device hackable, with their only warning being a gentle reminder that if you take your Chumby apart, it will void the warranty. Beyond that, they actively encourage you to turn the Chumby into anything you please and are eager to help you in any way they can through their Web site, forums and wiki.
In these days of locked-down, don't-you-dare-look-behind-the-curtain-or-we'll-sue gadgets, having one that you can mod to your heart's content, with full schematics and source code—and the original developers—to guide you, is a nice feeling.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Medicare C Claims Update
February 14, 2012
On January 13, 2012, we sent a listserv outlining the process for submitting balances to MaineCare for Medicare C claims. At that time we were not able to give you instructions for claims that had already processed incorrectly. We have evaluated the possibility of reprocessing these claims automatically and have found that it is not possible. Specific information needs to be changed on the claim to derive the correct payment. Please use the following instructions for submitting Medicare C claims for services prior to January 17, 2012. Because timely filing edits are now enforced, please submit any of the corrected claims within sixty (60) days of this notice. These corrected claims will need to be submitted as adjustments. Do not submit an 837 for a Medicare C primary claim.
If you are billing using paper:
Attach the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to your paper claim.
Write "Medicare" on the top of the EOB; and circle the "paid date" on the EOB.
- The paid date must be on the EOB, otherwise the claim will be returned to the provider
- The Paid Date must be date printed on the EOB by the other payer (hand-written dates or date stamps will not be accepted)
- If the date on the EOB is only reflected on page one of a multi-page EOB, attach page one along with the page(s) that pertain to the member you are submitting a claim for.
If you are billing using Direct Data Entry (DDE):
Select Medicare instead of Third Party Liability (TPL) on the DDE screen.
If there is a co-payment amount, enter this amount into the coinsurance field.
If the member is eligible for both MaineCare and Medicare (also known as dual elgibles), the claim will pend for a manual review. If you have any questions regarding submitting claims with Medicare C as the primary insurance, please contact Provider Services at 1-866-690-5585.

Coolest Cloud Security Vendors For 2013
As it has with many other technology sectors, the cloud has shaken up security. Large-scale, legacy security applications that once resided on-premise can now be broken up and offered as a service in a hosted environment, giving customers greater flexibility in managing their protection strategies.

And as the explosion of devices in a BYOD world makes mobile security a booming field, vendors are responding accordingly.
Here we take a look at the coolest cloud security vendors to make this year's Cloud 100 list.
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

The administration has resisted pressure to take that step.U.S. intelligence officials have said they do not believe Iran has decided to develop a nuclear weapon, even as evidence continues to mount that they are improving their ability to do so. Iran said its intentions are peaceful.Atomic enrichment in and of itself is not the red line, a U.S. official told CNN.But Israel feels a sense of urgency with negotiations aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions failing to produce an agreement and sanctions falling short of their intended effect.Concerns in Washington that Israel could launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities prompted a wave of visits this summer to Israel by several top Obama administration officials.Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that he is confident the United States is capable of monitoring Iran and can strike militarily, if necessary."We have pretty good intelligence on them, we keep a close track on them," Panetta told CBS' "This Morning" in an interview aired on Tuesday."We think we've got the ability to be able to strike at them effectively if we have to ... whenever we have to, we have the forces in place," he said.The U.S. official, who spoke anonymously in order to freely discuss the sensitive issue, said Panetta is "frustrated" by the partial impact of sanctions, saying he has not seen "the kind of response" that would have been expected from the Iranian regime, given that the sanctions have been tightened.The United States has sanctioned Iranian banks, companies and individuals as part of an effort by western powers to pressure the Tehran government.Netanyahu also said sanctions were only having a partial impact."The sanctions have hurt the Iranian economy, but they haven't stopped the Iranian nuclear program.

Leichhardt is a must see if you love the atmosphere of Italy. It is not as odd as it might sound at first to recommend a visit to the Italian area when you visit Australia because Sydney is a big multicultural city and many hidden treasures can be found the ethnic centers. You will find authentic italian food including fresh made chocolates, pasta, bread and gelato! The shops are usually owned and run by 1st or 2nd generation italian immigrants and it is not uncommon to see husband and wife or father and son working side by side. As you enjoy great food and a convivial Italian atmosphere that is unmatched on this side of the world , you can also feast your eyes on the charming architecture as the old buildings and shop fronts are painted mediteranean pastel yellows, pinks and corals. An easy destination from downtown Sydney. Take bus numbers 436 or 440 from the city centre. report a problem

Digital Bible Platform Sees Bible Engagement By Over 100 Million People
Via streaming, podcasts and apps, ministry passes major milestone in digital Bible distribution in less than 3 years
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Faith Comes By Hearing began as a small tape lending library in 1972. Originally known as Hosanna, their early work in providing Audio Bibles revolved around English recordings and focused on sales to U.S. churches. In the mid-80's, the ministry began to record Audio Scripture in the various languages of the world, which they refer to as heart languages. Going from cassette tapes to CDs and then to a solar-powered digital device they call the Proclaimer, the ministry conservatively estimates they reached over 50 million people with Audio Scriptures in their first 37 years of work.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120507/DC01259LOGO)
Nearly three years ago, Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) introduced the Digital Bible Platform and began providing free access to these digital Audio Bible recordings through streaming, direct downloads from their site, podcast downloads in the iTunes store and on mobile devices via the Bible.is family of apps. As a result of this technology – and an ever-expanding catalog that now includes Bible recordings in over 700 languages – FCBH has seen Bible engagement from over 100 million people across their online platform.
Those seeking God's Word are able to engage through text and audio, as well as video from the JESUS film and the ministry's newly introduced Deaf Bible.is app. "I remember starting out in ministry by handing out pamphlets on the street to people who passed by. We never knew if anyone really read them or if it got them to read their Bible," states Jerry Jackson, found and president of FCBH. "But now we can actually see when someone interacts with God's Word – what language they are listening to and how long they are listening, or how long they are viewing a video. It's certainly an exciting time to be laboring in the field of Great Commission work." While the ministry is recognizing this significant milestone, they are fully aware this is just one more stepping stone along the path toward their ultimate goal of providing access to the Good News in a format that can be used by every nation, tribe and tongue.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Palestinian's keen caricatures keep censors occupied
As a child, she drew on scraps of paper, the walls of her house, anything she could find. Now, Omayya Joha's cartoons express the suffering and sense of victimization of an entire nation.
Ms. Joha works in the war-torn and destitute Gaza Strip, where life is often crueler than anything fiction could conjure up. Last week, she showed a small Palestinian boy - barefoot, as many Gaza children are - saluting the Palestinian flag to start the schoolday. He was surrounded by six Israeli tanks and an army bulldozer. It was a harrowing image from the refugee camps, entire sections of which have been leveled by tanks and bulldozers in what the army says are operations to remove potential cover for Palestinian snipers.
A few days later, last Thursday, life mirrored her art in horrific fashion: Five Palestinian boys were killed as they walked to school by a powerful explosive device in Khan Yunis refugee camp. After hesitating, the Israeli army confirmed it had planted the device in what it said was a position used by Palestinian fighters to attack settlers. The area is traversed daily by civilians in view of a nearby army post.
Israel is not the only culprit for the oppressed Palestinian and Muslim masses Joha identifies with. A few days ago, she had a reporter ask an obese Arab leader, dressed in the flowing robes of the Gulf countries, for a comment on continued bombings in Afghanistan during the sacred month of Ramadan. "Not while I'm fasting," came the reply.
Such cartoons last year earned the youthful Joha an award in the United Arab Emirates as the best cartoonist for a newspaper in the Arab world. Joha believes the Palestinian struggle should continue until Israel is replaced by a Palestinian state and all refugees return to former villages, many of which have long since become Israeli towns.
Like the renowned Palestinian cartoonist Naji Ali, who was her model, Joha's identification with the oppressed stems from her uncompromising views from her own refugee background. Her family hails from Mukhraka village, just inside Israel, and today the site of an Israeli collective farm.

A Members Group white paper, Missouri reaccreditation and the CDFI Fund all made news this week.
Changing economic circumstances among its members have led yet another mainstream credit union to the realization that it has effectively become a community development credit union.
The gap between politicians that support funding the U.S. Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund and those who don't may have become the widest ever last week
The Obama administration's proposed 2012 budget would cut the Treasury Department's CDFI Fund by just over 9%, according to data supplied by the CDFI Coalition.
The House Appropriations Committee has proposed cutting $197 million from the budget of the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund for this fiscal year.
Grant applications from credit unions that are recognized as community development financial institutions to the U.S. Treasury's CDFI Fund may face stiff competition, the fund's data suggested.
"We are helping credit unions to survive during tough times," said Amy Rapp, a senior manager at Western Bridge Corporate Federal Credit Union.
Community development credit unions may receive less money on a per credit union basis from the U.S. Treasury's
The $16 million Bethex Federal Credit Union has won an award that will bring it an additional $25,000, the credit union said.
Forty-eight community development credit unions that applied for funds from the U.S. Treasury Department's Community Development Capital Initiative received them by the time the program distribution closed last week.

NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT — The nonprofit New Haven Independent, which has been delivering serious-minded local news to residents of New Haven, Conn., and the surrounding area since 2005, takes a lot of pride in how it interacts with the community. In fact, the site's editor maintains that its readers are as integral to the editorial process as its reporters.
"Our readers do our typos," explains Paul Bass, editor and founder of the site. Bass, who has been a reporter for thirty years, thinks that the New Haven Independent's nonprofit model can be used by others to help bring vigor back into community journalism. He believes a paper's focus should be on reporting, not profits. "It goes back to the old-fashioned purpose of a newspaper—to promote civic debate, rather than sell toasters," he says, deriding the emphasis many papers place on advertising.

DEFINITION of 'Glass-Steagall Act'
An act the U.S. Congress passed in 1933 as the Banking Act, which prohibited commercial banks from participating in the investment banking business. The Glass-Steagall Act was sponsored by Senator Carter Glass, a former Treasury secretary, and Senator Henry Steagall, a member of the House of Representatives and chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee. The Act was passed as an emergency measure to counter the failure of almost 5,000 banks during the Great Depression. The Glass-Steagall lost its potency in subsequent decades and was finally repealed in 1999.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Glass-Steagall Act'
Apart from separating commercial and investment banking, the Glass-Steagall Act also created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which guaranteed bank deposits up to a specified limit. The Act also created the Federal Open Market Committee and introduced Regulation Q, which prohibited banks from paying interest on demand deposits and capped interest rates on other deposit products (it was repealed in July 2011).
The Glass-Steagall Act's primary objectives were twofold – to stop the unprecedented run on banks and restore public confidence in the U.S. banking system; and to sever the linkages between commercial and investment banking that were believed to have been responsible for the 1929 market crash. The rationale for seeking the separation was the conflict of interest that arose when banks were engaged in both commercial and investment banking, and the tendency of such banks to engage in excessively speculative activity.
The Glass-Steagall Act's repeal in 1999 is believed in some circles to have contributed to the 2008 global credit crisis. Commercial banks, around the world, were saddled with billions of dollars in losses due to the excessive exposure of their investment banking arms to derivatives and securities that were tied to U.S. home prices. The severity of the crisis forced Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the last of the top-tier independent investment banks, to convert to bank holding companies. Coupled with the acquisition of other prominent investment banks Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch by commercial banking giants JP Morgan and Bank of America, respectively, the 2008 developments ironically signaled the final demise of the Glass-Steagall Act.

ASHLAND, Ore. — Southern Oregon filmmakers are hosting a special showing of the movie, Night Moves, that was shot mostly in the Applegate and southern Oregon.
This is one of three locally-shot films to hit the big screen in the past few years.
It is open in theaters now, and Saturday at the Varsity Theater, the producer of the film, Neil Kopp, will hold a special question and answer session after the movie.
Local filmmakers said movies being made in southern Oregon are helping to boost the local economy.
"Filmmaking pays good wages, those are family wage jobs," said Gary Kout, President of the Southern Oregon Film and Television group. "They are highly specialized and technical, they are creative, and so it is really great to see the industry growing here."
Night Moves stars Jesse Eisenburg and Dakota Fanning. The movie starts at 6 p.m. Saturday. Movie-goers will have to pay general admission to see the movie and participate in the producer talk-back.

Independent candidate for governor Eliot Cutler on Tuesday released his first campaign advertisement.
The ad, expected to air this week, is titled "Jobs & the Economy." It highlights a recent successful business endeavor Cutler embarked on after his first unsuccessful bid for governor in 2010.
"When I ran four years ago, I brought Chinese business leaders to Maine. I hoped as governor I could open new markets for Maine products. Well, that campaign didn't work out so I decided to follow through myself," Cutler says in the spot. "I started a company with four other guys and I negotiated a deal with a huge Chinese food distributor. In the last two years, this company sold over five million pounds of Maine lobster to China."
Cutler has since sold his stake in that company, Maine Seafood Ventures.
The ad is clearly meant to highlight Cutler's business acumen. Many know him as a longtime lawyer and government employee under Sen. Edmund Muskie and Pres. Jimmy Carter, but Cutler has helped start and manage eight businesses throughout his career.
"We need a governor who knows how to create jobs and open new doors to Maine products, so our kids can find jobs here," Cutler said. "That's why I'm running again."
During his endorsement of Cutler on Monday, U.S. Sen. Angus King, a former two-term governor, highlighted Cutler's success in the private sector. King also took aim at some of Cutler's critics, who have hit him for working in China during a stretch last decade.
"In the last campaign, believe it or not, he was criticized for his experience working abroad," King said. "That should be something we should celebrate and embrace because that's where our future is — in exports and working with the rest of the world."
The Cutler campaign hopes the King endorsement and the recent ad buy gives the independent candidate a boost, both in polling and fundraising.
Cutler has been running a distant third to incumbent Gov. Paul LePage and Democrat Mike Michaud and has given his campaign nearly $1 million from his own pockets in order to stay competitive.

So though it may not have many effects right now, it may pay in the long run.
