Do you use Google Analytics? If so, get ready for a new, redesigned version that is packed with some great features and analytics. You will now receive all of your information concerning your reports in real-time streaming, a feature many of us have been waiting on for years. For example, you will now be able to see how many active visitors are on your site at that very moment, what platform they are using to view the site and if they are using a mobile device? You'll now have access to see what kind of mobile device, and even click a camera icon to see how your site appears on their particular device. Pretty cool.
Google Analytics reported that people have shared that they've had difficulties using traditional path analysis tools. To meet the needs of the visitors, Google Analytics is now introducing Flow Visualization. This tool enables users to see a "Visitors Flow" and a "Goal Flow."
Let's break down the Flow Visualization a bit more: a visitors flow will allow you to see an interactive graphical representation of your viewer's journey on your website: where did they begin and what was their stopping point before exiting the site? This breakdown of data will let you determine just how successful and engaging portions of your website are, and determine how people got to each particular page--was it a google search? A link from a blog post? The Goal Flow, on the other hand, helps you to understand the dynamics of your site. As Google Analytics explains, the Goal Flow visualizer will facilitate a comprehensive plan about:
- The relative volume of visits to your site by the dimension you choose (e.g. traffic source, campaign, browser)
- The rates at which visitors abandon different pathways
- Where and how visitors navigate each of the steps that you defined
- How the visitors interacted with your site, including backtracking to previous goal steps
Another great feature that Google Analytics (V5) is offering is the ability to use events as goals. This will allow you to track more types of interactions as goals. In the past, when you created a Goal, you would have 3 options to categorize your goal, and now the 4th option is "Event." With this 4th option, you will be able to easily track user behavior that didn't initiate a pageview. Blast Advanced Media explores some of the site interactions that you will now be able to track with events as goals (though some of these options require additional tracking code setup):
- printing pages
- emailing to friends
- liking your site on Facebook
- tweeting your site on Twitter
- sharing your site on LinkedIn
- bookmarking on Delicious & Digg
- listening to audio
- watching videos
- using site tools (such as calculators, quizzes, etc)
- downloading PDFs
- commenting
- rating
- requesting a shipping quote
- clicking the add to cart button
- interacting with a slideshow (such as the rotating content on many home pages)
All of these new, fun options that Google Analytics is offering will enhance your website. You will instantly be able to see what's working and what needs to be tweaked. If you already have Google Analytics set up, the update will soon be activated in your account. Check out the Google Analytics blog to stay on top of the newest tools and exciting changes.
How do you think the new Google Analytics will change your life?

Traditionally cas failover is done with load balancers but i am wondering if this would work as a way to avoid the cost of purchasing load balancers. We have 2 multi-role exchange 2010 servers one at our main site and one at a DR site. I realize that we
can repoint the IP address in DNS to the disaster site but i am trying to avoid the manual intervention and DNS chache issues associated with that. We do not use outlook anywhere at all currently. Could i setup a casarray that points to
our main server and point our clients to that, then Setup outlook anywhere with a name of say outlookanywhere.company.com and create an internal DNS record that points to our DR server. i would then setup outlook anywhere in outlook (2007 and 2010) point to
outlookanywhere.company.com with the "On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP\IP" unchecked. If i understand this right when our main server is available it will connect over regular tcp\ip. if the client is unable to connect because
the server is down it will connect to outlook anywhere which points to our DR server. Is there any reason this would not work? What would the client experience be like if outlook were open durning a failure would it need to be closed and re-opened or would
it failover automatically?
That wouldn't be a CAS failover as such because the protocol is changing from RPC to HTTPS. Also, I doubt that config is supported.
You can try this config, will give you HA but not LB.

People with disabilities who are victimized have added challenges that need to be addressed:
- Isolation: Our society often segregates persons with disabilities through physical and social isolation, with institutionalization representing the extreme.
- Physical Accessibility: In many instances, crime victims with disabilities do not have physical access to services.
- Attitudinal Accessibility: Attitudes toward the person with a disability is as important as physical accessibility.
- The physically disabled have adaptive capabilities that are enhanced by necessary resources.
- Underreporting of the Crime: Victims can be limited in their ability to report a crime.
- Limited Advocacy: Service providers can have limitations of training and resources to assist.

Leverkusen , Germany, 2013/07/08 - In Russia, LANXESS is focusing on the megatrend of mobility LANXESS subsidiary Rhein Chemie produces rubber additives for the automotive and tire industries at the Lipetsk site. FRA: DE Frankfurt: LXS
Further expansion planned with the production of bladders for the tire industry
German specialty chemicals company LANXESS today celebrated the opening of its first production facility in Russia. In the new plant at the Lipetsk site, LANXESS subsidiary Rhein Chemie manufactures polymer-bound rubber additives for the markets in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), primarily for the automotive and tire industries. A production facility for the bladders used in tire production is to be added in 2016. The overall investment volume in euros amounts to a seven-digit figure and 40 new jobs will be created at the new plant in the medium term.
This production site underlines our focus on the global growth markets. That applies both to the group as a whole and to Rhein Chemie, which now has its own plants in all the BRIC markets, says Rainier van Roessel, member of the Board of Management of LANXESS AG. As recently as May this year, Rhein Chemie opened a plant for high-performance bladders in Brazil.
Opening our first production facility in Russia marks yet another milestone in our long-term commitment to this market. Since entering the market in 2009, we have quadrupled our sales in Russia and established strategic partnerships in our target industries and with research institutes. The new facility will enable us to harness market potential more effectively, particularly in the automotive and tire industries, explains Werner Breuers, member of the Board of Management of LANXESS. Studies reveal that, in the medium term, annual percentage growth rates for the Russian automotive and tire industries are expected to be in the mid to high single digit range.
High-tech products for the automotive and tire industries
Lipetsk offers outstanding conditions for the group. Its excellent location in close proximity to our customers and the good infrastructure in the Lipetsk Industrial Park were crucial to our decision to choose the site, says Anno Borkowsky, Managing Director of Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbH. Every year, the company will produce up to 1,500 metric tons of predispersed, polymer-bound Rhenogran rubber additives at the plant in Lipetsk. Rhein Chemie is a leading supplier for these products, which are used primarily in the manufacture of car tires and technical elastomer products such as profiles, hoses and seals. They are easy to handle and enable faster processing in the rubber compound. Using Rhenogran also significantly increases the quality of rubber components and improves their long-term functionality and durability.
A facility capable of producing up to 80,000 Rhenoshape bladders annually is to be added to the complex in 2016. Bladders are used in the tire industry to give tires their final form and properties. We are seeing a rise in demand from the Russian automotive and tire industries for quality products and, thanks to our new plant and high-quality, innovative product portfolio, we can now cater to their needs directly from Russia, comments Borkowsky.
Strong development in Russian business
LANXESS has had its own company in Russia since 2009. During this time, business has developed strongly. In 2012, LANXESS achieved sales of approximately EUR 80 million on the Russian market, around four times as much as in 2009. LANXESS has been working closely with the Russian Academy of Sciences in the field of research and development since 2009 and has established a research network with leading Russian institutes and universities. In addition, the group contributed to the official Germany Year in Russia in 2012 with the LANXESS Young Euro Classic Concert Russia and a scientific symposium featuring high-profile speakers.
LANXESS is a leading specialty chemicals company with sales of EUR 9.1 billion in 2012 and roughly 17,400 employees in 31 countries. The company is currently represented at 50 production sites worldwide. The core business of LANXESS is the development, manufacturing and marketing of plastics, rubber, intermediates and specialty chemicals. LANXESS is a member of the leading sustainability indices Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) World and FTSE4Good as well as the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI).

The collapse of the Wilkins Ice Shelf has prompted the Australian to launch yet another attack on scientists — it seems they are "tabloid media ambulance-chasing" and the ice shelf collapse was entirely natural.
every natural phenomenon, such as the ice shelf split this week, is interpreted as a disaster and all who do not agree are denounced as an enemy of the planet. And so it is easier for people in public life to acquiesce rather than address the evidence – as Mr Garrett's Lateline performance proves. The result is the intellectual equivalent of tabloid media ambulance-chasing. We are at the disgraceful state where some scientists do not seem keen to let all the evidence get in the way of a good story, especially if there is a supposedly scary photograph proving the end is near.
So what evidence does the Australian offer that the collapse was a natural phenomenon? Just this:
There is no denying part of the Wilkins ice shelf has separated from Antarctica and will sooner or later melt, as icebergs always do. But this does not prove anything other than part of an enormous iceshelf, one among many, has fractured along a fault line. This is neither unique nor in itself alarming, and to argue otherwise assumes Antarctica started to change only when humanity began generating coal-fired electricity and driving petroleum-powered cars. While there is a strong case that the world is warming, the extent to which humans are responsible is not clear. Nor is it obvious what the process means for people. Global warming may mean the oceans rise by 6m in 90 years but there are equally credible claims the rise may be much more modest. In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that polar melts may increase sea levels by a 10th of this new number by 2100. And while an ice shelf has separated from the coast of Antarctica, according to the IPCC increased precipitation will actually lead to a thickening of the Antarctic ice sheet.
But ice shelves are just the edges of the Antarctic ice sheet. The IPCC is not saying that ice shelves will get thicker, but rather that ice shelf collapse could result in Antarctica losing mass:
Current global model studies project that the Antarctic
Ice Sheet will remain too cold for widespread surface
melting and is expected to gain in mass due to increased
snowfall. However, net loss of ice mass could occur if
dynamical ice discharge dominates the ice sheet mass
They don't say anything specifically about Wilkins, but when the breakup started, the scientists at the British Antarctic Survey did:
Professor Vaughan, who in 1993 predicted that the northern part of Wilkins Ice Shelf was likely to be lost within 30 years if climate warming on the Peninsula were to continue at the same rate, says,
"Wilkins is the largest ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula yet to be threatened. I didn't expect to see things happen this quickly. The ice shelf is hanging by a thread – we'll know in the next few days or weeks what its fate will be. …
"Climate warming in the Antarctic Peninsula has pushed the limit of viability for ice shelves further south – setting some of them that used to be stable on a course of retreat and eventual loss. The Wilkins breakout won't have any effect on sea-level because it is floating already, but it is another indication of the impact that climate change is having on the region."
And from the National Snow and Ice Data Center:
The Wilkins is following a pattern of instability and rapid collapse that many Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves have experienced in recent years. Scientists think that the dramatic loss of these ice shelves, which have existed for hundreds to thousands of years, is an important sign of climate change in the Southern Hemisphere.
Mind you, there is the alternative theory advanced by Jennifer Marohasy undersea volcanic activity. Marohasy helpfully links to a map showing that there are volcanoes within 2000 km of Wilkins.
Anyway, back to the Australian's editorial:
While serious scientists are obliged to report what their research shows, whoever it offends, claims of climate change have become a racket. Last year, the Government of the Maldives warned that rising sea levels would swamp the country and the entire population needed a new home. The global-warming faithful immediately announced it was all the fault of rich countries, which had to help. The stunt was spoiled by Swedish scientists, who had the data to demonstrate that the sea level around the Maldives was the same now as 4000 years ago and showed no signs of change. Certainly the Maldives have a problem but a major cause is much more mundane – mining coral for building material has removed reefs that provide a barrier against the ocean.
This is just repeating bogus claims from a column published in the Australian. The "Swedish scientist", far from being a serious scientist is a dowser and his claims about the Maldives have been refuted by subsequent research. Serious scientists analysed satellite data and tide gauges and found large rates of sea-level rise in the Maldives.
This information isn't exactly a secret, but you'll never see it in an editorial in the Australian. That's because the writers there are not going to let evidence get in the way of their AGW denial.

Had a chance to catch up with former Texas linebacker Emmanuel Acho on the Chip Brown Show (ChipBrownShow.com) and wanted to share the highlights with everyone.
Acho, who led the Longhorns in tackles in 2011, talks about his year with the Cleveland Browns; hanging out with Colt McCoy; the advice he gave to Justin Tucker, who sings opera in the shower; being a teammate of new Pro Bowl kicker Phil Dawson; brother Sam Acho; and what Emmanuel really thinks of Manny Diaz.
Here we go …
You don't fully appreciate what the linebacker position is supposed to do in Manny Diaz's scheme until you compare the numbers of Emmanuel Acho at linebacker in 2011 to what the LBs did in 2012.
****Acho had 131 tackles in 2011 with 19 tackles for loss. Linebacker Steve Edmond finished second in tackles for Texas in 2012 with 103 but registered just 6 TFLs.)
Q: Can I say that Texas missed you at linebacker in 2012? I think everyone was shocked by the drop-off from last year's defense to this year's, which finished as the worst statistical defense in school history, giving up 404.2 yards per game.
ACHO: "I think everyone underestimated what they were losing. Not just me and Keenan (Robinson) but also Kheeston Randall and Blake Gideon. It was definitely disappointing. But this is the year they need to make huge strides."
Q: The linebackers have a huge role in Manny Diaz's scheme. Talk about that.
ACHO: "The linebackers do have a huge role In Diaz's scheme. He always says, 'The D-line should lead the team in sacks and tackles for loss. The linebackers should lead the team in tackles, and the secondary should lead the team in interceptions.'
"If those things don't follow suit, then you have an issue. And those things did not follow suit this season. The linebackers have the ability to roam, but they have to have the knowledge of where to roam and how to do it appropriately.
"Keenan (Robinson) and I had more experience last year. This year, when they lost Jordan Hicks, they lost starts. They lost two years of experience, and they lost a high IQ in the room. So they ended up with a much younger group (of linebackers) who learned and improved during the course of the season."
Q: Many are questioning if Manny Diaz is the right guy to continue to lead the Texas defense after last season.
ACHO: "That was the most frustrating thing was seeing people question the guy who helped me get drafted in the NFL and a guy who helped us become the No. 11 defense in the nation and No. 1 in the Big 12.
"You have to look beyond Manny Diaz. He's clearly not the problem if he could lead the defense to the year it had in 2011. That's frustrating. I think he's an incredible coach, and I think he does a good job of teaching his players.
"When they lost Jordan Hicks and lost Jackson Jeffcoat, things changed and some players didn't have the experience that's typically expected and required at the University of Texas."
Q: After being drafted in the sixth round by the Browns, you tore knee ligaments during the Browns' second pre-season game against Green Bay and were placed on injured reserve. Talk about now having to prove yourself to a new coaching staff with Pat Shurmur getting fired and Rob Chudzinski getting hired.
ACHO: "With a brand new coaching staff, everybody's future is uncertain, but I have the opportunity to prove why I was drafted."
Q: Your older brother, Sam, is in a similar situation with the Arizona Cardinals, who fired their coach - Ken Whisenhunt. Sam, of course, had the 7 sacks as a rookie and became a starter, registering 4 sacks this season. How is he doing?
ACHO: "It's funny because the Cleveland Browns interviewed Ken Wisenhunt to be the head coach. So that could have been interesting. But I think the Cardinals are going to retain most of their defensive staff, so it might be as much turnover for Sam.
"He had the breakout rookie year, and he's starting to become a leader on one of the best defenses in the country. So personally he's doing well."
Q: What was it like being reunited with Colt McCoy in Cleveland? And how is he holding up after being blind-sided by the draft pick last year of quarterback Brandon Weeden when the Browns finally brought in a playmaker at RB in Trent Richardson?
ACHO: "Colt and his wife took me in. I would go over to their house once a week and just hang out. That was a blessing.
"Colt is a pro's pro. He's the first one in the building and one of the last to leave. When I was doing rehab early in the season, I had to be there at 6 am, and Colt would somehow beat me or be right there with me with no requirements.
"He's still working, just grinding. Clearly, he's probably a little frustrated with his situation as anyone would be. But he's going to work to make the best out of it. I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for him."
Q: You are active on Twitter (@thEMANacho), and I saw you tweet about your Texas teammate Justin Tucker after his game-winning field goal for the Ravens against Denver. You told reporters last year that J-Tuck is a different dude and even sings opera in the shower.
ACHO: "Justin, I will still confirm and attest to the fact, he's a very different guy. Always an incredible player and kicker. Everyone saw what he could do in the last game of the Texas A&M rivalry.
"I had a chance to talk to him after he won the job in Baltimore. I just told him it's his from here. His career is dictated by himself and himself only.
"When you have a guy like Phil Dawson in our locker room who has been an NFL kicker since I was 5 years old, that's something to learn from. So I just told Justin Tucker, 'You're driving the car, so it's up to you how long you want to drive it.'
Q: Why do you think Tucker is seemingly immune to pressure?
ACHO: "I just don't think he cares what people think. That's a really good thing when you're a kicker.
"He doesn't think he's going to miss ever. It helps that he has confidence. But he doesn't care what people think about himself or his kicks.
"So when he goes up to kick, he's not afraid or worried about missing. I don't think it ever crosses his mind that he could miss. That really showed this year."
Q: Former Longhorn Phil Dawson made 29 of 31 field goals this season and made his first Pro Bowl in 14 seasons in the NFL. Talk about what makes Dawson special.
ACHO: "He's just a perfectionist. And congrats to him on making his first Pro Bowl.
"Since I was rehabbing all season, I would be in our team bubble when the special teams guys would come in to kick. And he would sometimes aim to hit the right field goal post, just to practice his accuracy. It just wowed and amazed me.
"Phil's a perfectionist. He knows it's all about angles. After doing it for so long, he's not even worried about pressure. He just goes out there and kicks. He knows what web site to look at for accurate weather and wind readings ahead of time. He's just a total pro."
Q: You're back on campus for grad school this semester. What are you studying?
ACHO: "The new collective bargaining agreement pays for players to go to graduate school. So I'm back this semester working on my masters in kinesiology with a specialty in sports psychology.
"It's free money. It's something to capitalize on, so why not take up that opportunity and go back and further my education at a place like the University of Texas."
Q: You strike me as a guy who is probably really sensible when it comes to money.
ACHO: "The biggest thing is save it. The bank is the safest place right now, even though there's not much return. So in the NFL, when the majority of your money is made early, you just save it and wait for an investment to present itself.
"My rookie year, I tried to live off my signing bonus ($78,680). I hardly ever saw my game checks (Acho made the rookie minimum of $390,000 this season). I would just log online and make sure my financial adviser was taking care of everything. But I'm still living off my signing bonus, so that whatever money I made this year went into savings."
Q: Smart man. You have any classes today (Wednesday)?
ACHO: "No. My classes are on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm about to go work out with some of the other NFL guys who are back in Austin."
Q: No classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday? Smart man again, leaving those Mondays and Fridays open for long weekends.
ACHO: "You know it. It's not my first time signing up for college classes."

Taylor Watkins' determination helps him succeed at lacrosse
Taylor Watkins has just enough moxie to make him a talented lacrosse player.
A junior at Fruita Monument High School, Watkins plays midfield for the Grand Valley lacrosse team. He's one of the Lightning's leading scorers this season, with 13 goals through six games.
He'll try to add to that total this weekend when the Lightning (4-2) host Battle Mountain and Eagle Valley on Friday and Saturday at Canyon View Park.
"Taylor has a good shot, good speed, but more than anything, just a determination," Grand Valley coach Dave Zabronsky said. "And in this game, that's what it takes to score, someone going out and saying, 'I want to score.' "
By the book, Watkins' duty at the midfield position is to play both the offensive and defensive sides of the field. The midfielders are in charge of transitioning the ball from defense to offense and getting the ball to the attackers, whose sole responsibility is to score.
The Lightning's midfield roles are a bit different. Zabronsky likes to sub in offensive and defensive midfielders.
Watkins qualifies as an offensive midfielder.
"Primarily Taylor is an offensive midfielder, and we try to sub him off for defense but we are not always successful," Zabronsky said. "So midfielders have to be ready to play both offense and defense."
Although Watkins is a good defender, his strength is scoring. Watkins didn't waste any time, scoring four goals in the first game of the season against Aspen.
He isn't always looking score, but takes advantage when the window is there.
"I think I have scored a lot because of good opportunities," Watkins said. "Like when a teams makes a defensive mistake, and I happen to be there to pick up the ball and put it in."
Zabronsky goes back to the intangible side of the game that makes Watkins a threat for the Lightning.
"It's a grittiness, not afraid of getting hurt or getting whacked," Zabronsky said. "You don't have to have a lot of talent; it's grit and toughness, and Taylor has that."
One of 20 underclassmen for the Lightning, Watkins said this season has been a good learning experience for Grand Valley.
"We want to be a strong team in the west," Watkins said. "This is the first year of the high school program, so we are trying to get it started, and just keep playing well."

Brazil striker Hulk had his first training session Thursday since joining Zenit St. Petersburg as the Russian champions gear up for a top-of-the-table Russian Premier League match against Terek Grozny on Friday.
Hulk and fellow new signing Axel Witsel, bought for a total of €80 million, could debut in Friday's match in St. Petersburg, which pits the dominant hosts against Terek, who have stunned observers by taking second place, level on points with leaders Zenit on 16 points from seven games.
Terek will be without influential Polish midfielder Maciej Rybus, who is out for the next three months with an ankle injury, but his hurriedly-signed emergency replacement Maciej Makuszewski could play.
There may also be a start for new striker Ailton, who scored in a friendly against Turkey's Sivasspor on Sunday in his first game since joining Terek from Cypriot team APOEL Nicosia.
Saturday sees two more big games as Lokomotiv Moscow host Rubin Kazan before Spartak Moscow visit FC Kuban.
After a confidence-boosting 2-1 win over Spartak in their last league game, Slaven Bilic's fifth-placed Lokomotiv will be able to call on the services of Swiss left-back Reto Ziegler, on loan from Juventus, who was due to train with the team for the first time Thursday.
The match could also see a return for Brazil midfielder Carlos Eduardo, who has been out with injury since soon after joining Rubin for a reported €20 million euro in 2010. He was on the bench for eighth-placed Rubin in their 2-1 defeat to Terek last time out, but may feature Saturday.
Despite his time sitting a lowly seventh in the league, Spartak coach Unai Emery may decide to rest players against Kuban to focus on his team's trip to Barcelona on Tuesday in their first Champions League group stage appearance since 2007.
Sixth-placed Kuban's new attacking signings Ivelin Popov, Aras Ozbiliz and Ibrahima Balde combined well in their 2-1 win at Dynamo Moscow in their last game, with Ozbiliz coming off the bench to score the winner, but that is their only experience of playing together.
CSKA Moscow, sitting third, host Alania Vladikavkaz on Sunday and could leapfrog Zenit and Terek at the top with a win if the leaders draw. CSKA remain without the services of strikers Seydou Doumbia and Tomas Necid.
Guus Hiddink's Anzhi, fourth, welcome an FC Krasnodar side Sunday who have no wins in four games but a frugal defense that belies their 11th place, before Dan Petrescu's Dynamo try to move off the foot of the table when they play 13th-placed FC Rostov away.
Rostov could hand debuts to ex-England winger David Bentley and former Liverpool forward Florent Sinama-Pongolle in that match.
Monday sees games between ninth-placed Amkar and 15th-placed FC Volga, as well as 12th-placed Krylya Sovetov's trip to 14th-placed minnows Mordovia Saransk.

Beware Credit Card Skimmers and How to Spot Them
Talk about serendipitous. I've been planning today's post on credit card and ATM "skimmers" (jerry-rigged little devices criminals use to steal your card numbers), and yesterday my brother tells me he spotted one of these suckers at a rest area on the New York Thruway. He alerted managers, who called the cops, who confirmed it was a skimmer. It just proves that skimmers are a real threat out there. Skimmers give fraudsters easy access to unwitting victims' credit and debit card numbers—even PINs. Here's what you need to know to avoid these nasty things.
How Skimmers Work
There are two big ways criminals use credit card skimmers to steal your information:
- They stealthfully install a skimmer on an ATM or self-serve kiosk and capture your card information when you swipe your card at the kiosk. Sometimes the machine still works, and you never know anything is wrong. Sometimes the skimmer disables the machine, but you'll just assume it's out of order and move on.
- Or. they get a hold of your credit card and skim your card manually (an easy racket for an unscrupulous waiter who could do this when you hand over your card to pay the bill).
Unless you catch your server in the act of swiping your card against his or her body (they often keep skimmers hidden under clothing), you probably won't know your card has been compromised this way until fraudulent charges appear on your statement. Fortunately, however, practicing a little vigilance can help you spot and avoid skimmers that are installed on self-service kiosks and ATMs.
How to Spot Skimmers
Credit card skimmers look just like the machines that merchants and ATMs use to legitimately swipe our plastic. Skimmers can come in all shapes and sizes. Some are so professional looking you might not be able to tell them apart
from a real credit card machine; others (like the one my brother spotted) are sketchtastically homemade.
At ATMs or self-serve kiosks, high-quality skimmers may be attached on the outside of the legitimate card slot (so you put your card through both without realizing it). Lower-grade skimmers are attached in a location that's not the actual credit card slot and just rely on you to notice the skimmer first and swipe your card through it. (Or the thieves may have disabled or covered up the legitimate card slot).
One final note: thieves that install skimmers on ATMs may also install a tiny camera that will attempt to record your PIN as you enter it. So it's a good habit to always cover the keypad with your free hand as you punch in your numbers.
Where Can Skimmers Be Found?
- Automated teller machines (ATMs)
- Gas pumps
- Public transit ticket machines
- Movie theater ticket kiosks
- Red Box DVD rental machines
What To Do If You Find A Skimmer
If you suspect you've found a skimmer, call local police at once and notify the owners of the machine. If you fear you've used a skimmer, call your bank or credit card company and let them know. You and your bank can decide to cancel your card and replace it or simply keep an eye on your statement for any fraudulent activity.
Have you ever come across a skimmer? Have you had credit card details stolen from a skimmer? Please share your story!

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer.
Does it finely start or just back firing?
Because its backfiring, I would rule out spark and I would start with checking the timing chain as if it has jumped, it will cause this type of problem. Line you #1 cylinder( drivers side first cylinder) with top dead center on the compression stroke and the balancer on TDC and look at the rotor in the distributor. If the timing is correct the rotor will be pointed right at #1 on the cap.
Ok then I would recheck the firing order as well as try removing the SPOUT connector and see if it starts. It would also be a good Idea to run a complete compression test on all cylinders. Also, what kind of fuel pressure do you have?
When the ignition is turned on, you can gear the fuel pump start and a "hiss" in the fuel rail at the engine. The timing mark is lined up with #1 as near top as I can get by eyeball, on compression. Another "backyard mechanic" friend is telling me to give up because the cam is wiped out. Is this a possibility?
Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer.
If its a rust bucket then you are likely making a smart decision, a new engine and or overhaul may be way more than its worth.

Staying Eligible for Medicaid after the Death of a Spouse
When one member of a couple moves to a nursing home, we expect that spouse will be the first to die, but this isn't always the case. What happens if a Medicaid recipient's spouse dies first? If planning steps aren't taken, the death of a spouse can affect the nursing home resident's assets and eligibility for Medicaid.
In order to be eligible for Medicaid benefits a nursing home resident may have no more than $2,000 in assets (the amount may be somewhat higher in some states). The Medicaid applicant's spouse (called the "community spouse") can keep more assets. In general, the community spouse may keep one-half of the couple's total "countable" assets up to a maximum of $119,220, depending on the state (in 2016). Often when one spouse seeks to qualify for Medicaid, he or she transfers assets to the community spouse.
The death of a Medicaid recipient's spouse can affect the amount of assets the Medicaid recipient has, and therefore his Medicaid eligibility. For example, suppose a community spouse dies, and her will leaves her estate to her husband, who is in a nursing home and receiving Medicaid. The additional assets will make the husband ineligible for Medicaid. Even if the community spouse's will did not leave anything to her husband, most states allow a spouse to claim a share of the estate. Medicaid can assess a penalty even if the husband does not claim his share.
The couple's house can also become a problem. Most spouses own property jointly. If the community spouse dies, the Medicaid recipient will own the house. Depending on the state, the nursing home resident may have to prove either an intention to return home or a likelihood of returning home in order for the house not to count as an asset. If the resident sells the house, the proceeds from the sale will make the resident ineligible for Medicaid.
To prevent a community spouse's death from affecting the institutionalized spouse's Medicaid eligibility, it is important that the community spouse update his or her estate plan. There are steps the community spouse can take to protect the spouse in the nursing home, including setting up a trust. To find out the plan that would work best for you, contact your attorney.

An invitation from Israel's Society for Excellence Through Education will allow the teachers to attend a weeklong conference, beginning Feb. 14, as part of Excellence 2000, a program that examines how to encourage student critical-thinking skills.
Science teacher Kim Ragozzino and math teacher Shoshana Kott will have the opportunity to attend teacher-training workshops at the Society's Chais Teacher Institute in Jerusalem.
Excellence 2000 is designed to spur students' abilities in mathematics and science, and has been in practice at Torah Academy for a year already.
'Their Own Thinking'
The program puts an emphasis on problem-solving skills in math and experimental learning in science classes, said Jennifer Mullen-Haaz, a math teacher at Torah Academy who has been utilizing Excellence 2000 lessons.
For 45 minutes per week, students get to take part in group-based activities that let them flex their creative muscles.
Specifically, science classes undertake experiments dealing with rocketry, chromatography and crime-scene investigations, while math classes focus on geometric progressions, probability and statistics.
"It requires the kids to do their own thinking," said Kott, who will gain even more experience in the program during the conference in Israel.
In one of her recent classes on the Fibonacci Sequence, the program's more independent approach shone through for the students: "It leads them through a series of questions," and lets the students uncover the heart of mathematical principles through their own investigations.
She noted that students also get to shine in more real-world situations. The science classes place a special emphasis on interpreting data and applying other practical skills that the students will eventually face.
Part of the goal is to tap into Israel's success in educating people in computer skills and problem-solving, said Mullen-Haaz. "Those are the issues that are going to be crucial in the next 100 years."

More rambling from "Primetime in No Time" host Frank Nicotero:
"Celebrity Wife Swap": Once again the networks were stretching the limits of the word when they called Niecy Nash and Tina Yothers 'celebrities,' but those two seem like they have very nice families. I just can tell Tina Yothers has been out of Hollywood for a while, because she considered Northridge, California to be 'Hollywood.' No offense against the city of Northridge (great college up there; go Matadors!), but calling Northridge 'Hollywood' is like saying the Jersey Shore is 'Wall Street.' Once again, stretching.
"The Biggest Loser": It's actually a good thing Joe added a little drama by deciding he was too homesick and bolting from the ranch, because the rest of this week's episode was about as exciting as watching ice melt. (No, I'm serious... this week's challenge literally involved watching them dump buckets of water over blocks of ice until they melted and freed a prize token or something.) Sigh... next week: watch the calories melt away as the contestants watch paint dry! Prime that wall! Feel the burn.
"Remodeled": Tivo Alert!!! This is actually not an attempt by me to try to get you to record this show on your DVR. It's actually a warning to make sure that you don't by accident! God forbid you take up valuable drive space, or even worse, accidentally record it when you're trying to watch the "Justified" season premiere, and your potato-chip-greased-finger slips and accidentally plays "Remodeled" instead. I want to spare you from the five seconds of misery that would result from that tragic accident. You're welcome.

Budget issues hurting Parks and Wildlife
GUNNISON — It's no secret Colorado Parks and Wildlife is having budget problems.
When CPW commissioners describe the situation as "dire financial straits" and "financially strapped," it drives home the message that something has to change to keep the agency afloat.
Thursday, CPW Chief Financial Officer Steve Cassin told the Parks and Wildlife Commission the agency faces a $10 million gap between revenues and expenses each year over the next five years.
"Over the last five years, expenditures have way exceeded revenue," Cassin told the commission. "The average (annual) deficit from our reserves from 2007 to 2012 was $6.6 million."
One example Cassin used was that although license revenue went down by about $5.2 million per year, costs went up $5.5 million each year.
Overall, while revenues were up $10.8 million per year, expenditures went up more than twice that, to $28.9 million each year. The outcome was that in those five years, the agency lost $33 million from its reserves.
Some of that, Cassin said, was the agency "initiated an aggressive (habitat) acquisition program" in response to constituents' demands for habitat protection.
Rick Cables, director of Parks and Wildlife, said the agency is developing a five-year financial plan for both parks and wildlife.
Parks, for the present, is in better financial shape than wildlife, but that could end in the next three years, Cables said.
"By Year 4 and 5 their expenditures will exceed revenue unless we change something," Cables said. "We'll make sure we don't get in that fix.
"But of more immediate concern is the wildlife cash fund."
If current revenue and expenditures remained constant over the next five years, "We've got somewhere around plus- or minus-$10 million gap on an annual basis, if those assumptions hold and if we don't do anything. We can't live with that."
Cables said the agency is developing several budgeting alternatives, all of which focus on controlling expenditures.
It will be two-part, one beginning with the fiscal year starting July 1 and the other, more in depth, starting July 1, 2014.
The first immediate step, said Jeff Versteeg, assistant director for research, policy and planning, would save about $1 million annually by leaving 20 to 30 positions vacant.
Other steps to be taken immediately include:
■ Cut grant funding to outside programs by about $1 million per year.
■ Put a 5 percent hold on all agency operating budgets, about $1.5 million savings.
■ Use some of the Habitat Stamp money for O&M on agency properties.
Verteeg said the committee he heads will have three long-range alternatives ready by September with a final version ready for approval in November.
One alternative may include an across-the-board budget cut, which Cables said he isn't sure he can support.
"I'm not a fan of making everyone take the same reduction," Cables said of the 10 percent across-the-board alternative. "This requires more thought than that. To assume that every program is co-equal is probably not where we are going to end up.
"But we'll throw it out for the benefit of what it will look like."
As the other alternatives get developed, and Cables said there may well be more than three, the focus will be on what is "mission critical."
The agency has "to get down to what's core, what's essential to the delivery of the mission," he said. "Taking care of the resource and making sure we are meeting the customers' needs" are key.
"To me, this is very doable thing," Cables said. "We can close this gap and get onto really solid financial footing."

I've had a love affair with tzatziki since college. I had a boyfriend in college whose family loved Greek food. They would always have a fresh batch of tzatziki at their home, and when we went out to eat, you guessed it, it was Greek! I fell in love with the whole menu. They taught me how to make this tangy, refreshing treat, and it has remained a part of me all these years. It is healthy, easy to make, and everyone loves it. I put it on lettuce, eat it with pita chips, or serve it with meat. Always have some plump kalamatas on hand when eating it. So delicious to dunk them in the sauce.
Recipe from Mom Around Town at http://www.momaroundtown.com/2012/02/29/tzatziki/#more-1726
- 1.5 tsp. dill
- 1.5 tsp. mint
- 2 peeled cucumbers chopped finely with juice squished out

Recently, the Jan. 8 City Council meeting lasted more than eight hours, until after 3 a.m.
The issue at hand challenged our community's longstanding master plan, which could significantly affect our future. I am proud of my colleagues on the City Council for their thoughtful deliberation and careful consideration of the information.
Theory R Properties, an out-of-town developer with no auto-related experience, purchased the former Family Nissan site on Santa Margarita Parkway in May 2012, and acknowledged their understanding of the existing zoning. From the time first occupied, the site had been an auto dealership, and the zoning for the site is Auto Center with an Auto Center Overlay that allows for expanded auto-related uses.
Theory R requested that the city change the zoning to establish a retail shopping center. The proposed use included a gym, car wash, dry cleaners, coffee/sandwich shop and a drive-thru restaurant. The question posed to the City Council was whether or not the zoning should be changed to accommodate this proposal. Theory R's owner stated that "he made a calculated risk in purchasing the property and was wrong" and also had previously threatened litigation against the city prior to the hearing.
Theory R's representatives presented their information, including examples of their efforts to attract an auto-related use. City staff presented the recommendation made by the Planning Commission to deny the zone change. Both the applicant and City staff had experts to discuss the economic viability of the site. Compelling points were made by many people in attendance, both in support of and opposed to the change.
Ultimately, the City Council voted 3-1 to deny the zone change. The reasons expressed are as follows: zoning is long-term, not to be changed on temporary circumstances; a change would have a detrimental impact on the synergy of the existing auto center and reduce its overall size; the change would reduce the job and salary opportunities to the residents (projected at a $40 million loss over 10 years); there is a pending offer to purchase the property for an auto dealership use; and it is not the residents' responsibility to correct a real estate investor's mistake by granting a zone change.
As your representatives, the Council has only one task: to do what is in the best interests of the residents and the city. Newspaper articles suggest that the property owner may seek an auto user for the property, file a lawsuit against the city, or propose a ballot measure, whereby they hope to influence the residents to change the zoning.
Our residents have historically made well-informed decisions that consider and recognize all competing agendas and motives, and if given the opportunity, would do so again.
–Carol Gamble is the mayor of Rancho Santa Margarita and a 24-year resident of the city. The owner of a local engineering firm, Mayor Gamble is very active in the community and appreciates interaction with residents and the community. She can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fantasy Football: DeMarco Murray and Your Waiver Wire Wish ListOctober 18, 2011
Is it Week 7 already? It is, and you're already behind on your holiday shopping. Thankfully, the upcoming holiday is only Halloween. So, go buy some candy, and while you're out, it's about time to get a head-start on that Christmas shopping.
And that's what our waiver wires are every week. A big kid's Christmas Wish List. What we want, in the order we want it. And what we're willing to give up to get it. Simple enough, right? Before we start making our list for Week 7, let's briefly remember how we're supposed to go about creating this list.
If you've been holding your FAAB or a high waiver priority, the time is quickly approaching to use it. You don't want to keep waiting for the perfect pick-up. It's probably not going to happen. There's no Michael Vick out there this year. Get a player (or players) that can help you now.
You should have a reason for every player you pick-up. Whether it's to start consistently, to start as a fill-in, for trade value or just to back up a player, you need to have a reason. Blindly picking up a player just to sit him on your bench and then cut him the next week doesn't help you. Sometimes you have to fill a hole that doesn't involve the sexiest RB pick-up of the week.
Never overvalue your own players. Sometimes you hold onto your opinions of a player for so long that you're inherently biased. You think this player is great, yet if you cut him, there's a chance that nobody would even pick him up. Don't be afraid to cut the cord on a player, no matter how early you drafted them.
Now, let's hit the high notes of some waiver wire targets for Week 7. I'm not going to list obvious players (Tim Tebow) or players that are already owned in a majority of leagues (Jackie Battle).
ANDY DALTON—The Bengals are on a bye in Week 7, but Dalton has shown that he's a good QB2 who can be started when the matchup is right. If you're in a deep league and somebody cuts Dalton, he's worth picking up.
SAM BRADFORD—The Rams' poor performance and his high ankle sprain could scare some owners away from Bradford. But, the additions of Brandon Lloyd and Mark Clayton can only help. And the Rams' schedule finally gets easier two weeks from now. Bradford is worth stashing as your backup QB in most leagues.
CARSON PALMER—Here's the deal. Palmer hasn't participated in organized football activities since last December. He knows the basics of the offense, but not the specifics. The Raiders will remain a run-first team. Don't expect many 300 yard games or games with multiple TD passes. Palmer is worth rostering in 14-team and deeper leagues as a QB2. But there's not much upside here.
CHRISTIAN PONDER & JOHN BECK—Both of these players might have starting jobs soon, but there's no need to add them immediately, unless you are in a very deep or two QB league.
DEMARCO MURRAY—Felix Jones could miss 2-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain and Murray is the next man up. He's worth adding in all leagues and could be a decent start in Week 7 vs. the Rams.
TASHARD CHOICE—In deeper leagues, Choice might be your only option. The coaching staff doesn't love him, but it looks like he will play on passing downs. In PPR leagues, Choice could be a decent flex option vs. the Rams in Week 7.
DONALD BROWN—Brown looked better than Delone Carter in Week 6 and the Saints are just an average team against the run. If you need help at RB in deep leagues in Week 7, Brown could be worth a pickup in case Joseph Addai sits again, which is entirely possible.
MONTARIO HARDESTY—It doesn't look like Peyton Hillis will be traded, but it also doesn't appear that Hillis is the future at RB for the Browns. Hardesty could see his role continue to grow as the Browns determine how they will handle the RB position in 2012. Hillis could miss Week 7 with an injury, making Hardesty a possible flex play.
MAURICE MORRIS—Jerome Harrison and even Keiland Williams have gotten all of the attention for the Lions behind Jahvid Best. But it looks like good old Maurice Morris would get the majority of the touches if Best misses Week 7. Morris is worth picking up in most leagues and could be a decent flex play, especially in PPR leagues.
JOE MCKNIGHT—Coach Rex Ryan spoke about getting McKnight more involved during his post-game comments in Week 6. Shonn Greene has been ineffective and LaDainian Tomlinson has clearly lost a step or two. McKnight has been seeing some snaps at WR, as the Jets try to find ways to get him involved in the offense.
DOUG BALDWIN—He might not have been picked up last week because the Seahawks were on a bye. Charlie Whitehurst got the reps with the first-team offense on Monday. If Whitehurst starts, it's likely that Baldwin would be his most targeted WR.
GREG LITTLE—The time to pick up Little might have been last week. He's clearly emerged as the No. 1 target in the Browns' passing game. He should have some appeal as a starter in deep PPR leagues. There's upside here, so he's worth picking up in most leagues.
STEVE BREASTON—Breaston was on a bye in Week 6, but he had seen his role on offense increase for three straight games before the bye. Breaston has a decent matchup against the Raiders in Week 7 and he could be a decent WR3 or flex play in PPR leagues.
MARK CLAYTON—It's unknown what Clayton's role will be, but it looks like he will return in Week 7 and immediately have some role on offense. He's worth picking up in deep leagues.
DAMIAN WILLIAMS—Williams is now the most talented WR in Tennessee with Kenny Britt injured. Nate Washington is a safer PPR option, but Williams had scored a TD in two straight games prior to the Titans' bye in Week 6.
FRED DAVIS—Chris Cooley suffered a broken finger, which will require surgery and keep him out for at least six weeks. Fred Davis just solidified himself as a TE1 and is probably worth starting every week, no matter who is at QB for the Redskins.
JARED COOK—Since the Titans were on a bye in Week 6, Cook might still be available in your league. He's emerged as the No. 2 target in the Titans' passing game and is worth picking up in most leagues.
JAKE BALLARD —Ballard has seen a small but steady dose of targets. The Giants are on a bye in Week 7, but if you're looking for some TE depth in a deep league, now is probably the time to add Ballard.
ED DICKSON—Dickson had a quiet game in Week 6, but was knocked out of bounds at the one yard line on a catch. He's sees a decent amount of redzone targets and is worth a look in Week 7.
There you have it. If you have any questions or comments, please use the comments feature below. You can also find me on Twitter.
Good luck to all in Week 7.

The Minneapolis Foundation generously supports MinnPost's Community Sketchbook coverage. Learn why.
Project Homeless Connect unites homeless with those who can help
Back in the first years of the 2000s when homelessness in Minnesota seemed to be leveling off, there beat in the hearts of many the hope that maybe someday all the homeless would be housed.
But a gathering I attended just the other night in a south Minneapolis church with about 50 other volunteers demonstrates the elusiveness of that goal. All had come for training for the 11th Project Homeless Connect Minneapolis/Hennepin County, a huge event connecting the homeless or those on the verge of homelessness with a vast array of social services provided by both public and private sectors all under one roof for one day.
The May 23 event to be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center is expected to draw about 2,000 "guests" in need (the fruit of the economic recession) as well as more than 1,000 volunteers primed to guide them through a maze of services offered on two floors.
At the training, a small woman with a lengthy title and a big job who helped launch the first such event in Minnesota in late 2005 — one of the first in the country — reached for the microphone and recited a few painful stats.
About 13,000 Minnesotans are homeless, said Cathy ten Broeke, coordinator of the Office to End Homelessness in Minneapolis and Hennepin County, including about 4,000 in Hennepin County, with 47 percent of them age 21 or younger and 19 percent military veterans.
My peek at that 2009 research, the most recent count available from Wilder Research, also startlingly reveals that: 20 percent of the homeless are working, 68 percent live in metropolitan areas and 62 percent of the state's homeless adult population are people of color. (Adults of color make up about 13 percent of the general population.)
One-stop event
Project Homeless Connect is "a one-stop-shop service event for people who are homeless or just on the edge" of being homeless, as well as a "prevention event,'' says ten Broeke.
The first such Minneapolis event attracted 500 people seeking help. Last December, 1,411 households were helped. Attending were 1,710 individuals, including 81 unaccompanied youth ages 14 to 21 who were served, with numbers lowered by a heavy snowfall. Twenty-eight percent had families with dependent children. Only 21 percent were white, a figure that has organizers trying to recruit more people of colors as volunteers.
Now, there are 28 such events around the state each year, including two in Minneapolis and one in St. Paul.
Twice each year, ten Broeke tells the mostly white volunteers, the city and county partner with service providers, businesses, citizens and faith congregations to bring together at one location a long menu of services. Count among them housing and employment assistance, mental health and chiropractic care, help with Social Security and military veterans matters. Provided are eye exams, urgent medical care, tooth extractions, haircuts as well as official birth certificates and I.Ds.
"It's not just, 'Here's my card, call me later,' ten Broeke says. The idea, she says, is to solve a person's problem right then.
What does it cost? "It's a highly-donated event,'' an "entirely privately funded event,'' ten Broeke says, beginning with free space from the Convention Center, followed by donations from philanthropic organizations, individuals and foundations — including Thrivent Foundation for Lutherans, she called "probably the largest donor for the event — as well as businesses.
Costs are about $35,000 to $40,000 each event; monetary donations are tax deductible.
Donations keep expanding
About 140 groups or agencies are involved, but that translates into many more people helping out. And the donations keep expanding, with haircutters and eyeglasses providers stepping up to donate services.
Among those giving of their time and expertise is Minneapolis dentist Adele Della Torre, a volunteer at that first event, who got and stayed involved, reaching out to Apple Tree Dental, a nonprofit. By the third Homeless Connect she was responsible for bringing in two dental chairs, another dentist and a few dental hygienists. This month there will be seven dental chairs and 15 to 20 dentists volunteering their time.
"All they do is extract non-restorable teeth,'' she said. "These people suffer with toothaches, sometimes months at a time" because they can't afford dental care.
This month a couple of the chairs will be reserved for persons who need a serious cleaning. "Some of them have never seen a dentist. They just need so much work. We're trying to transition to the point where we're saving teeth,'' Della Torre said.
Dentures, too, are desperately needed by this population of people, the dentist said. She's hosted events at her home to raise the money to fund dentures for the homeless.
She and her dental partner also volunteer at the St. Paul event. "It gives me some satisfaction. It's far from a solution.''
Did you think back in 2005, I asked her, that the event signaled the beginning of the end of homelessness?
"We were about to kick off the initiative to end homelessness,'' she says. "Yeah, so Project Homeless Connect was in a sense a way of galvanizing the community to end homelessness.'' But it also demonstrated the need, becoming an "an eye-opener in a really personal way" to the community, she said, and eliciting more support.

Taiwan Court Charges Leader Of Opposition With Corruption
By JOSEPH KAHN
Published: February 14, 2007
Taiwan's high court prosecutor's office said Tuesday that it had filed corruption charges against Ma Ying-jeou, the leader of Taiwan's main opposition party, whom many saw as a leading presidential candidate in 2008.
The indictment further upsets politics in Taiwan, already troubled by corruption scandals involving the wife, son-in-law and former aides of President Chen Shui-bian, and raises fresh uncertainties about how the race to succeed Mr. Chen, 55, in 2008 will affect relations with China.
Beijing, which claims Taiwan as sovereign territory and will not rule out the use of force against it if it seeks to become a formally independent country, clearly hoped that Mr. Ma's Nationalist Party would win back the presidency. The Nationalists ruled Taiwan for 50 years until Mr. Chen and his independence-minded Democratic Progressive Party won the presidency in 2000.
Mr. Chen's governing style and his prolonged but inconclusive confrontation with Beijing made him deeply unpopular in Taiwan. Mr. Ma, 56, a Harvard-educated lawyer and a popular former mayor of Taipei, was viewed as a pragmatic alternative who could improve economic and political ties across the Taiwan Strait.
Some analysts said the indictment increased the chances for Mr. Chen's party to retain the presidency after his mandatory retirement next year.
Taiwan's top prosecutor's office announced that it had indicted Mr. Ma on charges of misappropriating $339,000 from an account he had used as mayor.
Mr. Ma has acknowledged accounting for the money improperly but has said the error was inadvertent rather than an example of corruption. He said none of the money was diverted for his personal use.
He said he was stepping down as party chairman. But he vowed to continue to run for president. It was unclear whether he would run as an independent or as a member of the party. It was also unclear if the Nationalists would continue to support him as their standard-bearer.
Some analysts said his support in the party had already eroded because of the prosecutor's corruption inquiry and what some saw as missteps he made as chairman.
Even with Mr. Ma in the race, Beijing had been wary of the election in Taiwan. Mainland analysts say that intensive campaigning sometimes forces candidates in Taiwanese political races to embrace policies that lean toward independence.
The charges against Mr. Ma are similar to those filed in November against Mr. Chen's wife, Wu Shu-chen, and former presidential aides. Ms. Wu was accused of skimming from a presidential fund used to promote Taiwan's diplomacy overseas, and the aides were indicted on related charges. Mr. Ma had called on Mr. Chen to resign as president. But the investigation into his own handling of money put Mr. Ma on the defensive, and his party did not perform as well as expected in local elections late last year.

Welcome to WHL. Whether you are sick or well you are always a mother and children demand a lot of you. I understand your relief about not having cancer. In the last three years I have had two bone marrow biopsies (YOW!) and do not have cancer or malignant problems with my bones or blood. Keep up your good spirits and Happy, Healthy New Year.
This is still the best community for lupus patients I like being able to come here and have some people who understand. Lots of nice people here
