Elementary students of St. Scholastica's College, a Catholic school, shout slogans and flash thumbs down signs during a "noise barrage" protest outside their campus in Manila, Philippines, Wednesday Aug. 28, 2013 to call for the scrapping of a corruption-tainted development fund. The fund known as pork barrel allows lawmakers to allocate government money for projects in their districts. The pork barrel scandal centered on a powerful businesswoman who allegedly collaborated with lawmakers in channeling some of the funds. She has gone into hiding after she was charged with illegal detention of a whistle-blower. Local media reports of her lavish lifestyle have angered many ordinary taxpayers in the Southeast Asian country where nearly 28 percent of the 97 million people live on a little over a dollar a day.

Recruitment Statement
Joe Purdy
Joe Purdy
Joe Purdy, a singer/songwriter from Arkansas, put in his time working at a loading dock and as a counselor at a private high school before his song "Wash Away" became synonymous with the 2004 season of ABC's Lost. Purdy left Arkansas for California in 2001, where he learned how to play the piano and began writing songs. He went on to record several homemade albums, breaking into the L.A. music scene with 2003's StompinGrounds. It was around this time that Purdy was contacted by J.J. Abrams, the executive producer of Lost, who asked Purdy to write a song for the show. Purdy, who at the time was visiting an island on a river in upstate New York, wrote "Wash Away," which went on to chart in the Top 25 on the iTunes country charts. The album that featured the song, Julie Blue, was released in 2004. Only Four Seasons followed it up two years later. ~ Margaret Reges, Rovi

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Martin St. Louis and Eric Brewer each scored two goals as the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Washington Capitals 6-3 in the season opener for both teams Saturday night.
St. Louis added an assist, while Vincent Lecavalier and Cory Conacher also scored goals for the Lightning.
Joel Ward scored twice and Wojtek Wolski also had a goal for the Capitals, who lost in Adam Oates' NHL coaching debut.
St. Louis' drive from above the left circle during a 5-on-3 power play gave Tampa Bay a 4-3 advantage at 4:47 of the third. Conacher, who had an assist in first NHL game, scored his first goal to extend the lead to 5-3 with 6:36 to go. Brewer scored his second goal late in the third.

"The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company."
"Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or ''broken heart,'' is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one."
Charlotte P. Gillman
"My goal is not to cause somebody grief or to make anyone upset, ... My goal is to love these guys and put them in a situation where they can grow up to be the best men they can be. We are an authority over them, and I have influence over them, and I take that responsibility seriously."
Mark Richt
"Inflamed by greed, incensed by hate, confused by delusion, overcome by them, obsessed by mind, a man chooses for his own affliction, for others' affliction, for the affliction of both and experiences pain and grief"
"And now, once again, I bid my hideous progeny go forth and prosper. I have an affection for it, for it was the offspring of happy days, when death and grief were but words, which found no true echo in my heart."
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
"This communicating of a man's self to his friend works two contrary effects; for it redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in half."
"Have faith in your dreams and someday Your rainbow will come shining through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep believing The dream that you wish will come true."
Contributed by: Dan Hansen
"Grief for a dead Wife, and a troublesome Guest, Continues to the threshold, and there is at rest; But I mean such wives as are none of the best"
Benjamin Franklin
"Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved"
Mark Twain
"There's definitely some differences in style. That may give us grief in terms of preparation."

Mulitple inputs - looking for the blank
I'm trying to write a simple Command line program that uses the fallowing formal
BTU = GPM*500*(Tf-Ti) BTU = BTU's Per Hour GPM = Gallons Per Minute Tf = Temperature Final Ti = Temperature Initial What I want todo is allow me to type in any three of the four variables and have the computer access any of four different formulas the find the missing value for example If i type in the fallowing BTU = 100,000 GPM = 5.5 Ti = 55 I want it to see that Tf is missing and go directly to the Tf = BTU/(GPM*500) + Ti to find the final output temperature. How might I go about doing this? |

So I came up with this. But I want to know if there is a faster way or better way to do it?
int findWhat,gpm,btu,tf,ti; NSLog(@"1 - BTU/hr"); NSLog(@"2 - GPM"); NSLog(@"3 - Temperature Final"); NSLog(@"4 - Temperature Inital"); NSLog(@"What would you like to find?"); scanf("%d", &findWhat); switch (findWhat) { case 1: NSLog(@"Finding BTU/Hr"); NSLog(@"GPM?"); scanf("%d", &gpm); NSLog(@"Temperature Final?"); scanf("%d", &tf); NSLog(@"Temperature Inital?"); scanf("%d", &ti); btu = gpm * 500 * (tf - ti); NSLog(@"Output is: %d BTU/hr",btu); break; case 2: NSLog(@"Finding GPM"); NSLog(@"BTU/HR?"); scanf("%d", &btu); NSLog(@"Temperature Final?"); scanf("%d", &tf); NSLog(@"Temperature Inital?"); scanf("%d", &ti); gpm = btu/(500*(tf - ti)); NSLog(@"Flow rate is: %d GPM",gpm); break; case 3: NSLog(@"Finding Temperature Final"); NSLog(@"BTU/HR?"); scanf("%d", &btu); NSLog(@"GPM?"); scanf("%d", &gpm); NSLog(@"Temperature Inital?"); scanf("%d", &ti); tf = btu/(500*gpm)+ti; NSLog(@"Final Water Temperature is: %d°F",tf); break; case 4: NSLog(@"Finding Temperature Inital"); NSLog(@"BTU/HR?"); scanf("%d", &btu); NSLog(@"GPM?"); scanf("%d", &gpm); NSLog(@"Temperature Final?"); scanf("%d", &tf); ti = tf - btu/(500*gpm); NSLog(@"Inital Water Temperature is: %d°F",ti); break; default: NSLog(@"Error - No Such Task Number"); } } |

Accept input of each variable one at a time. Let the user enter nothing or a question mark for the unknown value. If more than one value is unknown, give an error. If 3 values are entered, run the appropriate formula for the missing value:
Tf = BTU/(GPM*500) + Ti TI = -1*BTU/(GPM*500) - Tf BTU = GPM*500*(Tf-Ti) GpM = BTU/(500*(Tf-Ti)) Remember to check for a zero denominator whenever there is division. -Lee |

Dec 24, 2011, 06:24 PM | #5 |
Yes, you'd have to read strings. Your approach is fine if you don't know how. You do still need to check for divide-by-zero.

How would I initiate the 4 variables as strings and then later convert the them to floats or inits?
as far as looking for divide by zero that should be fairly easy once the right formula has been selected i will just check for the any of the values that would result in a zero in the denominator, if that exists i can exit with an error other wise it will just continue, correct? |

I'm not sure what language you're using (I guess Objective-C if you can compile with NSString) or your skill level with programming in general or these languages.
Your current strategy of allowing which variable to solve for seems best for your skill level. Learning robust input validation is a good idea, but it is a big undertaking. You need to learn to deal with limiting input based on your buffer length, converting from character data to numerical values with good error handling, etc. I actually don't know if there are good console I/O in the libraries using NSStrings. -Lee |

Most, if not all, console input functions will be C. You can use them, but you'll need to use character arrays for storage, rather than having nice NSStrings. Depending on your immediate goals this may not be the right time to get familiar with these functions and strategies. If you're going to make a GUI app soon you won't get much out of rich console I/O functions.

I'd spend your time reading the man page for math.h rather than boning up on console I/O. You do need to remember that most of what you're doing in Objective-C is just plain C, so you'll need to get comfortable using C functions, libraries, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by "math handling in obj-c". Math is math. Perhaps you're referring to the translation from the NSString and NSText and NSLabel in Cocoa (not obj-c) to primitives that you're used to working with like int, double, and long. In that case, the calculator tutorial above will step you through that.

I looked for a calc app but they all seem to be Xcode 3. What I mean by "math handling" is knowing how to build an equation so that it works in Xcode. Like right now most of my stuff is handled inside of excel or numbers. this is getting very old and very clunky. I just need to see how the syntax works. I'm learning fast. Do you know of any good tutorials for x-code 4 on calculators? |

Good questions, keep them coming!
Keep at it. There's a lot going on, a lot to learn. You will get frustrated, but that's OK.
I don't see the benefit of starting with a command line app as opposed to a GUI app. Quote:
If that doesn't work, head back to google. I suggested a calculator app because that takes in numbers and does calculations on them, which is what you want to do. Once you get the calculator app going, you can implement your app by changing the "plus" function to "translate-temperature-differential-to-BTU". Quote:
1. The normal C syntax, where a formula may look like: (variable name) = (some constant) * (another variable name) for example britishThermalUnitsPerHour = 500 * gallonsPerMinute * (temperatureFinalInCelcius -temperatureInitalInCelcius) 2. Method messaging syntax (variable name) = [(object) (message)]; for example NSString * myName; myName = [[NSString alloc] init]; myName = @"PatrickCocoa"; Note the verbosity of my variable names. Your code has a variable "BTU" which it turns out is NOT British Thermal Units, but is BTUs per hour. That is misleading and will cause confusion (I originally had my variable name as "britishThermalUnits" until I happened to take another look at your original code. If you're programming in a team, misleading variable names will quickly get you ostracized. If you're not programming in a team, then six-months-from-now-dieseltwitch will thank current-dieseltwitch. Believe me.

Well doing in a command line all made sense when I started. lol. but Im actually picking up on this quickly.
As for the BTU vs BritishThermalUnits thing. as i said before I've only been programing on a calculator (Voyage 200), and is doesn't like some names. so its just taking me a while to get used to it. I've started reading the book that was recommended earlier in this post and its a great books so thank you again! As for the calc app, its for the iPhone os, not for an OS X desktop app. and thats where i run into trouble because I'm finding thats not an easy port for a starting out with, when even small changes don't pop right out. |

The Ecologies of Photography- Jennifer Norman Feb 14- March 7
Yvonne Mullock-March 14-April 19
Andrea Williamson May 2-June14
July 4-August 16-Dana Buzee
We are totally working on an archive, for real.
Pith Gallery is pleased to present new work by Victoria-based Jennifer Norman.
The Ecologies of Photography visualizes a selection of heavy industries that are directly and indirectly related to the production of photography itself. Jennifer Norman's extraordinary photographs, taken on large format film, mark the apex of a PhD in Photography from the Sydney College of Arts, Australia.
The term 'ecology' invokes the complexities involved in ecologically motivated photography to reference both the aesthetic benefits and ecological drawbacks of the photographic medium. The visual reconstruction of the industrial sites as artificially beautiful creates a visual paradox that informs the political investigation of this series; manufactured landscapes are inherently political landscapes, yet the images are equally a-political as beautified aesthetic objects. As a result, these images acknowledge that our successes in industrial production have ironically contributed to our environmental failures, while simultaneously suggesting that we might positively learn from past mistakes by pursuing unlikely and creative avenues in the future.
Pith Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of these works as part of Exposure Photography Festival 2014.
Exhibition runs February 14, 2014 - March 07, 2014
Opening Reception Friday, February 14 8 PM - 11PM
Pith Gallery & Studios is located at 1018 - 9 Ave SE Calgary, AB

Surewinds - Carefree Contemporary Caribbean Style

- Wheel chair accessible:No
Green Cay Plantation villa description
Begun in 2005 and completed in the fall of 2012, Surewinds has been a labor of love. It is designed for carefree island living…… no worries, barefeet, open windows and gentle breezes. The architectural style is classic Caribbean, (think masonry construction, ceiling fans, and colonial stonework ), updated with tropical hardwoods, an open floor plan, contemporary finishes and expansive outdoor living spaces.
Surewinds, as its name implies, was sited to fully capture the cooling trade winds, which bathe the house in a continual ocean breeze. There is no greater luxury than living in an open air home where you can truly experience the sights and sounds of your natural surroundings. (Just in case the wind changes, the bedrooms are air conditioned.) From sunrise to sunset there are views to excite the eye and calm the senses.
Green Cay Plantation is on the south side of St. Thomas in Frenchman's Bay Estate, centrally located between Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook. The house overlooks the beach at Bolongo Bay which is the home of the USVI Diving Club. There are no neighbors, no street lights and no traffic. Green Cay Plantation is a newly gated community featuring both luxury villas and year round island homes. The plantation roads are wide and safe for jogging, biking and kids at play. Surewinds is located at the end of a cul-de-sac so a stray car seldom passes by.
The four story, 4,500 sf layout of this home invites all sorts of possibilities. It is ideal for 4 couples, a large family seeking a separate in-law apartment, 2 family units, or a wedding party. With 4 ½ bathrooms, 2 ½ kitchens and sleeping space for up to 16 guests both privacy and convenience are well served. WE ALSO OFFER THE OPTION OF RENTING JUST THE MAIN HOUSE FOR GROUPS OF LESS THAN 10 GUESTS. THIS INCLUDES THE POOL AREA, ONLY THE LOWER LEVEL APARTMENT WOULD BE GATED OFF.
The Surewinds décor can be described as "put your feet up" casual. White slip covers are easily bleached. The watchword here is "clean and simple". There is little clutter, so there's less to worry about. The stainless modern kitchens are fully supplied for "real" cooking , and the electronics are state-of-the art (so you don't get tooooo relaxed)! There is great space for entertaining, both indoor and out (as in a wedding). In-house catering by a noted island chef is available at an additional cost.
Main House, Main Floor: Open floor plan kitchen /dining / living room, powder room, laundry utility room, master suite (queen bed) w/ whirlpool tub and outdoor shower.
Main House, Pool Level: Bedroom 1 (queen bed + queen sofa bed), Bedroom 2 (queen bed + single bed + single futon), Den Bedroom 3 (trundle bed w/ 2 twins).
Apartment , Main Floor: Open floor plan kitchen / dining / living room (queen sofa bed)
Apartment , Lower Level: Oversized bedroom (queen bed + 2 twin beds (trundle)), Full bath
Finally here are some details to consider as you plan your vacation:
*This is a quiet, private setting. You will have to find your hustle and bustle elsewhere.
*We have done our best to make the house "child-safe" by gating the pool area, but nothing can replace parental supervision in a home that's perched on a hill.
*Only the Main House / Main Floor is accessible without climbing at least a dozen stairs. There is a single stair at the front entrance, so wheelchair access is limited. If you are traveling with children, we suggest this house for Ages 3+, but we will let you be the judge.
*There are ceiling fans in every room, the 4 main bedrooms are air-conditioned. The breeze is fabulous!
* The 11'x 14' pool is 9' at the deep end, and about 3' at the shallow end. It's great for lounging, quick cool downs and some active pool play, but it's NOT for diving or swimming laps (unless your laps are very short!).

Our recent stay at the "Surewinds" was like finding paradise. It exceeded our families expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the breathtaking views. We went from being weary travelers to relaxed vacationers, instantaneously. Island cozy is how we would describe the Surewinds at Green Cay Plantation. The layout of this property and home is nothing short of brilliant. Every room has an ocean view with a terrace...amazing! Its beyond spacious, yet completely connected. The views, indoor comforts, warm breezes...this is a place you can relax for ours and never tire from it. Have drinks, play cards, take a dip in the pool, or just watch the cruise ships float in and out of Charlotte Amalie all day long. Our accommodations were impeccably decorated in the "Coastal Living" style with all the amenities of home right at your fingertips. The beds were remarkably comfortable and the rooms quiet with the exception of the Caribbean ocean to lull you to sleep each and every night. Renting a car gave us the opportunity to explore and enjoy all aspects of St. Thomas to the fullest. We visited a new beach ( Bolongo, Frenchman's Bay, Magens Bay, etc.) minutes away everyday. We even explored Trunk Bay ( top 10 beach) on St. John, USVI since it was just a short car ride to the ferry. We are already planning for our next visit!!!Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+.

A spacious, beautiful island home. It accommodated our group of ten perfectly. It was great to be out on the island for the day and return to our private retreat. Spectacular views, especially watching the cruise ships leave at night. So easy to be there; by the time we had to leave we felt like we were leaving home! Magens Bay was our favorite beach; relatively quiet (except for Wednesdays, when there seem to be the most cruise ships!). Tree Limin' Zip Line tour was so much fun. Señor Frog's had the fried conch that my brother-in-law was looking for. We rented a regular car (no 4 wheel drives were available) and it was fine. We parked at the top of the driveway at the house!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, adventure seekers.

We had 15 people ranging in age from 2 years to 83. The property was at the end of the road and overlooking the beautiful blue waters of Charlotte Amalie. The VRBO listing photo's were very appealing and when we first entered the property, there were nothing but ooo's and aaahhhh's. It was clean, neat and everything was in its place. Very well equipped with laundry, linens, towels and more. The property was in excellent condition and decorated and fit up nicely. The kitchen was a little small for the "four cooks" who wanted to cook at the same time, but furnished with just about everything we needed. The pool was smaller than we anticipated but served its purpose well. The pool area was pretty much the gathering place at any time of the day or evening. The owner, Sandra Wright, was very helpful in fielding questions prior to our visit and we did not have to bug her while we were there. I would highly recommend this property to friends and relatives. We had the most enjoyable time at Iggies which is a restaurant on the beach just 5 minutes away. From the pool patio, you can actually see the restaurant. This was a special family event that we will never forget. For many reasons!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: I am so happy we could be a small part of a very special family vacation.

Surewinds is an amazingly wonderful place to stay, and the name says it all....God's air conditioning is constantly at work, making things comfortable and pleasant. We were just two people, but the place is huge and could easily accommodate a dozen. I like to cook and the kitchen is a great set-up with all the things you need to make a dinner for two or for sixteen. The small pool is a delight anytime of day, but is especially nice after spending a day at one of St Thomas's glorious beaches. It's nice to unwind and cool off on the deck with a glass of wine and a dip in the pool~! The deck has views out to the sunrise and watching this happen with the mix of islands and distant landscape is just about as magical as you could wish for. But it happens pretty early, so if you are partying at night you might not get to see it~! The bedrooms all have decks out to these views and and the ocean. What more can I say! The owners are very accommodating with arrangements, and there is an on-island helper who is available if you have any difficulties (we had none~!). The driveway down to the house may seem steep for the uninitiated, but don't worry, you will make it and get very used to it~! Most places in St Thomas have even steeper ones~! We did turn around our car at the bottom so that when we left we could drive forward up the steep driveway rather than back up~! A couple of three-point turns at the bottom is all it takes, and we found that driving up the driveway to exit was a piece of cake~! If you want to have a relaxing time on a part of the Island that is just several minutes from the downtown, but is definitely out in the country, with glorious views, this is the place for you. Watch the huge cruise boats come into harbor, and be thankful that your are in this beautiful house instead of on one of those ships~! The beautiful Morningstar Beach (open to all the public) is just a seven minute drive away, and has all the big Frenchman's Reef "hotel" amenities at your fingertips, as well as a fun beach with surf. Try it. I highly recommend a stay at this great house. You won't be disappointed.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+.

This property sits on the south side of the island so you get to see the sun rise and set and the breeze is lovely throughout the day. The property description is thorough but nothing can really capture the stunning views and vistas you witness in this spot, not even a camera. The house is clean, furniture is comfortable and there are lots of sleeping options for larger groups. I stayed in the apartment, separated from other house guests. There are plenty of ceiling fans and you can adjust airflow with windows and sliding screen doors to meet your needs. The house is not walking distance to anything, so you get away from the hustle and bustle to a quiet retreat but it's not far from anything so you have good access to beaches and shopping and dining. Magen's Beach was my favorite beach by far but a visit to Morningstar (good waves in Frenchman's Bay) and Hull Bay (for surfers) were also wonderful. Iggie's in Bolongo Bay was a yummy meal and allowed the kids to enjoy the beach while we enjoyed cocktails. The meal we had at Randy's was excellent but service was extremely slow, be ready to wait. Fishtails, in Red Hook, was family friendly and seafood was fresh. I would definitely return and recommend this spot to family and friends.Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+.

We got back from St Thomas last night...going from 85 and sunny to 5 and COLD! We arrived at Surewinds not fully knowing what to expect...when we got was PERFECTION! Our family of 6, plus a friend spent the week in paradise hanging over the ocean in what we decided was the BEST place we have ever stayed! The house is HUGE, well equipt, beautiful, clean and the pool and decks are amazing! I can't say enough about Surewinds...will be going back for years!Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: The Wright family has owned a vacation home in St. Thomas since 1985. As Connecticut Yankees, the climate first drew us to STT, but we have grown to love the island as our second home. Our son Jordan is the talented builder of this amazing home, which we hope will soon become a retirement home for us, and the vacation destination of choice for our children and grand children. Although this is a new rental property for us, we have been renting our other home for 25 years, so we have great on-island support, and understand the needs of Caribbean vacationers.
Why the Owner Chose Green Cay Plantation:
Besides the amazing architectural detail, Surewinds is somewhat unique in that the floor plan will adapt to groups of all sizes and configurations. Having the separate apartment with a second complete kitchen is a luxury you don't find in many island rentals.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
By opening Surewinds to the breeze you will take away a true island experience like no other. The 270 degree ocean view affords both sunrise and sunset panoramas that extend all the way to St. Croix. The westward view includes watching the majestic cruise ships and elegant yachts as they arrive and depart Charlotte Amalie harbor.

Lots of good BASIC information
posted 4 years ago
First, let me say I love the "Everything" series of books, as they have give you a fairly instant and painless general understanding of a given subject. This book at 289 pages is packed with information on horses & horsekeeping. Some of the chapter titles include:
History of the Horse
Horse Breeds
Horse Behavior
General Health
Types of Horsemanship
Tack, Apparel & Accessories
Equine Careers
It also contains several pages of resources and a short Glossary. There are a few color photos at the center of the book and a few line drawings through out the book. I like the type of paper the book is printed on as it lends itself to highlighting and making notes in its' wide margins. Thinking of buying a horse, read this book first. Know a horse crazy older child, buy them this book. Once you think you really want to buy a horse, you'll want more detailed information though.
Pros: Well organized and covers a wide range of topics related to horses
Cons: None

Apple's Cook faces Senate questions on taxes
Cook reaffirmed Apple's position that given current U.S. tax rates, it has no intention of repatriating its overseas profits to the U.S.
He appeared with Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer and Head of Tax Operations Phillip Bullock.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the panel's chairman, said Apple's use of loopholes in the U.S. tax code is unique among multinational corporations.
Apple uses five companies located in Ireland to carry out its tax strategy, according to the report. The companies are located at the same address in Cork, Ireland, and they share members of their boards of directors. While all five companies were incorporated in Ireland, only two of them also have tax residency in that country. That means the other three aren't legally required to pay taxes in Ireland because they aren't managed or controlled in that country, in Apple's view.
The report says Apple capitalizes on a difference between U.S. and Irish rules regarding tax residency. In Ireland, a company must be managed and controlled in the country to be a tax resident. Under U.S. law, a company is a tax resident of the country in which it was established. Therefore, the Apple companies aren't tax residents of Ireland nor of the U.S., since they weren't incorporated in the U.S., in Apple's view.
"Apple is exploiting an absurdity," Levin said at the start of the hearing.
The spotlight on Apple's tax strategy comes at a time of fevered debate in Washington over whether and how to raise revenues to help reduce the federal deficit. Many Democrats complain that the government is missing out on billions of dollars because companies are stashing profits abroad and avoiding taxes. Republicans want to cut the corporate tax rate of 35 percent and ease the tax burden on money that U.S. companies make abroad. They say the move would encourage companies to invest at home.
The subcommittee also has examined the tax strategies of Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and other multinational companies, finding that they too have avoided billions in U.S. taxes by shifting profits offshore and exploiting weak, ambiguous sections of the tax code. Microsoft has used "aggressive" transactions to shift assets to subsidiaries in Puerto Rico, Ireland and Singapore, in part to avoid taxes. HP has used complex offshore loan transactions worth billions while using the money to run its U.S. operations, according to the panel.
Levin and McCain are proposing legislation to close loopholes in the tax code.
Thanks largely to the iPhone, Apple is one of the world's most profitable companies. It earned $41.7 billion in calendar year 2012. It's neck and neck with Exxon Mobil Corp. as the world's most valuable company.

SAP HANA, short for "High-Performance Analytic Appliance" is an in-memory, column-oriented, relational database management system developed and marketed by SAP AG.[1][2]
SAP HANA originates from developed or acquired technologies, including TREX search engine, an in-memory column-oriented search engine, P*TIME, an in-memory OLTP database acquired by SAP in 2005, and MaxDB with its in-memory liveCache engine.[3][4] In 2008, teams from SAP AG working with Hasso Plattner Institute and Stanford University demonstrated an application architecture for real-time analytics and aggregation, mentioned as "Hasso's New Architecture" in SAP executive Vishal Sikka's blog. Before the name HANA settled in, people referred to this product as New Database.[5]
The product was officially announced in May 2010. In November 2010, SAP AG announced the release of SAP HANA 1.0, an in-memory appliance for business applications and business Intelligence allowing real-time response.[6] The first product shipped in late November 2010.[4][7] By mid-2011, the technology had attracted interest but the conservative business customers still considered it "in early days".[8] HANA support for SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse was announced in September 2011 for availability by November.[9]
In 2012, SAP promoted aspects of cloud computing.[10] In October 2012, SAP announced a variant called HANA One that used a smaller amount of memory on Amazon Web Services for an hourly fee.[11]
In January 2013, SAP enterprise resource planning software from its Business Suite was announced for HANA, and became available by May.[12][13] In May 2013, a software as a service offering called the HANA Enterprise Cloud service was announced.[14]
Rather than versioning, the software utilizes service packs.[15][16]

BBC denies Top Gear 'conspiracy' over Tom Cruise lap
Page last updated at 13:35 GMT, Monday, 26 July 2010 14:35 UK

Top Gear's executive producer is denying reports that Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz had their laps around the show's racetrack fixed.
Sunday night's programme (25 July) saw the two Hollywood stars take the top two spots on the leader board.
Some Radio 1 listeners have been texting in to the Chris Moyles and Fearne Cotton shows saying the laps were faked.
Andy Wilman says that couldn't happen and the laps were genuine.
Armchair expertsHe said: "We are listening to armchair experts who don't know a thing.
"They weren't there, they don't understand how laps are done.
Andy Wilman Top Gear producerThere are people with stop watches, there are cameras in the cars and we have people on the corners at each track to make sure nobody cuts the lines. You can't cheat basically
"Their times were accurate, their times were truthful.
"It really saddens me that people who don't know anything can then sour the whole moment."
But some texters weren't sure you saw the finish line and that Tom Cruise doing a wheelie would have slowed him down.
Cruise and Cameron Diaz took on the 'Star in a reasonably priced car' challenge last Thursday and each drove a Kia cee'd around Top Gear's famous test track.
The programme was broadcast on Sunday night (25 July) and saw Cruise post a time of 1 minute 44.2 seconds.
Cameron Diaz, 37, did it in 1 minute 45.2 seconds.
Both beat the previous best posted by Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, who'd done the lap in 1 minute 45.5 seconds.
"The lap timing is covered very accurately," said Andy Wilman. "There are people with stop watches, there are cameras in the cars and we have people on the corners at each track to make sure nobody cuts the lines.
"You can't cheat basically."
Practice lapsTom Cruise, 48, and Cameron Diaz were in the UK for the premiere of their action film, Knight and Day, held in London's Leicester Square last week.
But earlier in the day the stars spent several hours at Top Gear's test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey.
"Tom Cruise turned up really early," said Andy Wilman. "He put more effort into getting that lap time than I've ever seen anybody do.
"He was doing 190mph (305km/h) in the Bugatti Veyron down the runway. He knows what he's doing in a car.
"He took a load of instruction from The Stig. The celebrities that come on, they usually do four or five laps with The Stig, then they go out solo.
"He spent longer with him and was asking more detailed questions, so that his first dry lap was in the 1'45s already. He'd already done the lap record on his first dry lap."

"Your daughter," remarks a friend in the schoolyard, "reminds me of that girl in Four Weddings and a Funeral."
Really? The Andie MacDowell character? Or the one they called Duckface?
The one who wakes up late, screams f—k four times, then runs to the wedding, ripping her bridesmaid's dress on the way. "You know," she continues, "the crazy one with the sticking-up hair."
She's right. That's our daughter, an imp of a girl who burst from the womb like a cartoon character, hair on end, legs akimbo, grinning madly despite the indignity of being yanked into the world with a pair of barbecue tongs.
I remember looking down at her, this tiny person born of my body and hatched from my genes, and thinking, who are you?
Eight years later, as she skips across the playground with mismatched socks and paint splodged on every skinny limb, I still wonder. For this is my child least like me. The yin to my yang.
The one I can never predict, yet whom I love so fiercely that just the thought of her half-a-kilometre away in her classroom brings tears. The child who, I now know, will teach me as much as I'll ever teach her.
Among the many naïve assumptions we make about parenting is the expectation that our kids will turn out – in some respects – just like us. It's reproductive narcissism:
"You have your dad's blue eyes, but at least you have my temperament." But if you've ever mixed blue and red paint, you'd know you get something else entirely. A colour all of its own.
This need to pigeonhole our kids, to claim them as some extension of ourselves, gives rise to the hotly debated issue of favouritism. Few parents admit they have a favourite, yet most adults are convinced they know which of their siblings their parents preferred.
When one mum broke the taboo last year and posted online that she loved her young son more than her daughter, it provoked an outpouring of loathing. Some called her "brave", others said her honesty was "refreshing". But whether her daughter will grow up to believe it's "refreshing", I don't know.
My problem with this sort of navel-gazing - and the claim by author Jeffrey Kluger that parents are lying when they say they don't have a favourite child - is that it presumes love is quantifiable, that it comes in unit measurements and you dish it out in 250ml or 500ml lots according to who pleases you more. Or - if you believe Kluger - to the child most like you, with an extra dollop if they're the opposite gender.
By his calculations, my daughter should be calling DOCS.
Aside from the fact this is another example of over-thinking parenting, it's rubbish. For love is as fluid as it is firm, spilling forth when it's needed to tend grazed elbows, uncertainty, nightmares and disappointment. It's heaped upon whoever needs it most in that moment.
And when there are no moments, it permeates, because love is whole no matter how many times it's divided.
Growing up, I believed our mother loved my youngest brother best - and by Kluger's equation (mother + youngest child = the most compassion), I'd be right. But what I didn't understand back then was that my brother was sick. Worryingly sick.
Now, having traversed my own parental challenges, I understand there are no favourites. Because loving a child - one, two, or a dozen - is like having your heart peeled.

Kate says:
Loved your description of your daughter Angela - beautifully written. As for favourites, I think parents can have different favourites at different times of life.
Nick says:
My four year old has spent the last week or so singing
Love is something you give it away give it away give it away
Love is something you give it away
...and you end up having moreA magic pudding of sorts. It drives me nuts but I think it's true.
John F says:
I have 4 kids, 2 I get to see once a fortnight the other 2 have been turned against me by their mother and I havnt seen them in 4 years. I love them all but for 2 of them I dont even know who they are anymore so how can I love them equaly ?
So much damage has been done in the name of revenge.
Fiddler says:
I have three kids, all different, all have parts of me (and sadly a little of their mother). I can't hoenstly say I love one more than the other, but love them all for different attributes. Funny thing is I have had different people all say that one or the other is my favourite, because lets face it, most people only see a snapshot of our relationship
Editing Nazi says:
Good article, but 'legs *akimbo*?' - akimbo means hands on hips with the elbows sticking out. Not sure how you'd accomplish that with your legs. Perhaps 'askew' might have been the better choice?
Nick says:
According to both the OED and the Macquarie Dictionary akimbo also refers to limbs flung out widely or haphazardly. Languages are shifting sands.
Fiona says:
I've got 4 kids. I can see parts of me and parts of my (ex for 2 of them) husband. I don't enjoy seeing the less desirable traits of my ex in my kids, but I did once love him, so I remind myself of that.
If your favourite is the kid most like you, it would be my youngest, but I hope I don't show her favoritism. I don't feel like I do.
I try to focus on the best of them, as well as trying to help them withthheir weaknesses.
NightStalker says:
I love my daughter absolutely! People often asked whether I would have preferred a son than a daughter and my answer is an emphatic no! I will love my little girl (she's now 30) till the day I die. Just wished she loved me as much, she doesn't even talk to me. My own parents had a clear favourite out of five and he turned out to be the biggest arse!
Damo says:
It's a nice sentiment but to simply dismiss Kluger's research and hypothesis as "claims" is misleading. You don't agree, that's fine, however his "claim" is based on mountains of research and certain quantifiable elements.
Melissa says:
Growing up my mother was quite open about my middle sister being her favourite. Neither myself (the eldest) or my youngest sister were particularly perterbed by this - it was just the way it was and I'm a fairly distant person anyway. Though it did make my middle sister the target of our collective bullying and at 31 she's just coming to understand the concept of not getting what you want when you want it.
When I was 10 I bailed my mother up about my sister being the favourite and she said "Well, she's not the youngest nor the oldest, she's not the smartest nor the dumbest, she's just there and she needs me" I also suspect that post-natal depression and as both myself and my youngest sister both look like my dad (dark skin, dark hair, dark eyes and broad) as opposed to my mum (fair, blonde, willowy) played a part.
Another Dave says:
Well said Angela. I have a daughter & son and I would never claim one as a favourite. My daughter is an extrovert, while my son is more introverted. Sometimes he needs a bit more attention, but that is no reflection of favouritism , simply catering to their individual needs.
Robert Smissen of country SA says:
I have 4 kids, a daughter & 3 sons, each are special & very dear to me. My daughter has been my rock ever since she was small, protecting her brothers from all comers including her mother, do I love her more than her brothers? ? I don't think so, but I listen in awe at her wisdom & her ability to change others for the better, her younger brothers all but worship her, the youngest (16) sees her more like a mother than a sister. I feel for the people that don't have contact eith their kids, I've been lucky, in both of my previous marriages, my kids stayed with me, the mothers have left without looking back. All my kids are strong & assured, rock-solid in their support of each other
Mark/Fox says:
I have 2 children, great kids but then i woke up to whats happening around the world with this foolish idea of populating until we perish idea and then went and had vasectomy. The quality of life for the next generation is gettting lower as the population increases. So its not me that I should consider but the future generations.
Alessia says:
But this goes on in most traditional cecruhhs, no matter the race or ethnicity of the congregants. Why single out the Black church, as if there's only one type of Black church? Isn't that a form of racism in itself? Why not write an article about the Black cecruhhs and ministers who ARE LGBT-friendly and affirmative. Where your mind goes, your behind follows; if we keep demonizing the Black church for homophobia that is rampant EVERYWHERE, we're not empowering the Black church to be open-minded or expand their horizons.

So, on your personal website that you promote your business with using the stores inventory you're being sold to put the store number to make it fair for the other two who are doing nothing to promote themselves? Give me a break, Pete. Your website, Your number. 10X it and blow it up. Don't be a little b*tch about it.
I'm going to semi-agree with Zach. I think you should fight for it. You went through the channel's when you addressed your concerns and asked them to take the website more seriously. You put your money into a site that is driving more traffic. At this point, I feel that calling the owner isn't unfair. They need to take you seriously and let you have your leads that you created. If a salesperson paid for a newspaper ad or magazine ad or even a billboard, they would be allowed to take the phone ups from it (maybe even directly to their cell phone).

When Mark Richt said today that his search for a defensive coordinator could stretch into mid-January, we should have known that the John Chavis watch was about to end.
Now, according to LSU, it has. Chavis will receive a raise from the Tigers and will stay in his current position as the defensive coordinator in Baton Rouge.
Virginia Tech's Bud Foster also flirted with Georgia before getting a raise to stay in Blacksburg.
According to LSU athletic director Joe Alleva, the Tigers gave Chavis a raise last night. Georgia had offered him about $600,000. With bonuses, he made about $500,000 in his first year on the bayou.
"We did what we need to do to keep him," Aleva said. "He's going to get a raise."
Les Miles added, "It's over. This is non-issue. John Chavis is staying at LSU."
Apparently Richt did finally get around to talking to Les Miles late Wednesday. "He was really just touching base. He had already talked to John."
This, of course, is good news for LSU. The Tigers keep the man who turned around their defense in just one season.
As for Georgia, the Bulldogs are now known to have been spurned by Chavis, Foster and Vic Koenning who chose Illinois over UGA. Depending on who you talk to in Athens and Tuscaloosa, Alabama defensive coordinator has also either a) turned down the Georgia job or b) shown no interest in it.
Making matters worse for Georgia is the fact that two other defensive coaches are still unnamed at this point.

I'm booked on a mid May 2007 Viking Spirit Danube River trip from Budapest to Nuremberg. Has anyone been on this trip? Is the scenery beautiful from the boat? What was the weather like in May? Was the water level good? Were there shopping opportunities on shore? Do you have suggestions or comments about this cruise?
Questions about Viking River Cruise on the Danube
6 Replies | Jump to last reply |

I was on this trip with Viking three years ago. It was wonderful. There are parts of the Danube where the scenery is beautiful, even breathtaking. We went in late May, and there were no problems with the water level or flooding, but this isn't always the case. The year before we went, there were big flooding problems. Yes, there are many shopping opportunities on shore, as you always have free time after taking a walking tour through town. If you have the opportunity to extend your cruise with a three day hotel option in both Budapest and Prague (pre and post cruise), by all means take the opportunity. You won't be sorry. We took the Budapest extension prior to our cruise, and the Prague extension after the cruise. It was marvelous. The Spirit is a lovely boat. We were in a cabin on "A" deck, and could open our window. The weather was very warm and balmy that year, but there were some mornings when it was quite cool, so take a light jacket and/or sweater. I'll be happy to answer any other questions you might have.

Viking is fantastic! We took the Budapest to Amsterdam trip (14 days) in 2003 and my husband said it was the best trip he'd ever had. We enjoyed it so much we did the reverse trip in 2004 so we have been through the area you will be traveling. We were on the Viking Pride both trips but the ships are exactly the same, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
As Rudy says Budapest is a wonderful city. Definitely arrive there a few days before your cruise starts. There are so many things to see and do in the city including art museums, the Parliament buildings (take a tour), the opera house (again a great tour is offered), city park with it's statues, turn of the century spas, and of course Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion, both on the Buda side.
For less money than Viking will charge for three days, you can stay at the Marriott on the Danube. All of the rooms have a river view and it's in an excellent location, with excellent rooms and service. You can walk to many places from here and the views of Buda Castle and the Chain Bridge, both day and night, are magnificent.
Enjoy Budapest, my second favorite city in Europe! -

Cameron is right about the location of the Marriott. It's perfectly located. When we were in Budapest, we said that if we ever return on our own, we would stay at the Marriott.
Three years ago, Viking put us in the Taverna Hotel on the pedestrian street called the Vaci Utca. The hotel was basic and clean, and in a good location. We could walk right out the door and be in the heart of things. The Marriott was only a short walk away. Now, I think Viking uses the Hilton, which, if I remember correctly, is on the Buda side, and a bit removed from the action. I'm with Cameron on this one. Go early on your own (you'll have to pay for the taxi from the airport), and stay at the Marriott. If it's less expensive than the Hilton that Viking offers, it's a better deal.

We went on Viking's Danube cruise from Nuremberg to Budapest with 3 days pre-cruise in Prague in May 2004. We stayed on independently in Budapest for three more days at the Hilton in a beautiful river view room at a much lower price than the Viking package guests paid for a street view room.We liked the location and didn't find it difficult to access all parts of this lovely city. Viking did a good job with meals,and tours; our romm was comfortable with a large window. It rained the whole time we were on the ship but was sunny in Prague and Budapest. We traveled all over Vienna on their Metro which was close to the ship's dock and ate lunch in the different villages along the Danube on our own. We took one optional tour, to the Hungarian countryside to see the Putza, famous horse performances.

Viking River Cruises is a wonderful experience! There are castles around every corner and so much to see off the ship along the rivers. The tour guides are outstanding and truly love the sights that you are seeing so their passion is contagious. All of the shore excursions are included, but you are welcome to explore independently. You can take your shore excursion, but you will also have time to explore the city and do some shopping independently. The local farmer's markets are wonderful and there are many little shops that are "off the beaten path" that your tour guide can recommend.
Be sure to check the prices for the upper level staterooms because they have better views (instead of docks and walking feet) and are not significantly more expensive. May is lovely in Europe - comfortably warm, but not hot or crowded because European children are not out of school until late June.
The Hotel Gellert is an amazing historic hotel, located right on the river in Budapest. It has the spas close to the hotel and a great location for both Buda and Pest. It will be a truly Hungarian experience! (You can read about Budapest and recent Hungary in the April issue of Smithsonian Magazine.)

TMZ has learned ... "Dancing with the Stars" judge Bruno Tonioli won't be forced to issue an apology to Michael Bolton for bashing his jive ... because producers don't think Bruno did anything wrong.
"DWTS" producers tell us, "While we respect the feelings of our celebrities and dancers, we don't feel Bruno should be expected to apologize for doing his job."
As you probably heard, Bruno told Bolton that his jive was the worst jive he's ever seen -- and Bolton responded by calling the judge "inappropriate and disrespectful."
But show producers note, "Bruno's role as a judge is to give his honest opinions on the quality of the dances he's judging, which is what he did in this case."
At least Bruno didn't call him a no-talent ass clown.
There is a difference between judging the dance and being down right cruel and humiliating. I hate to even watch the show after that.
Bruno was right. Bolton's dance was BAD. I think he is being a baby. I hear he was quite the diva. take your lumps and go.
It was very cruel and not neccessary. It was hurtful, I felt it
and can only imagine how it must have made bolton feel.
Bruno should apologize regardless of what the show says, just
as a human being.
I never thought I'd feel bad for Michael Bolton but Bruno was a total jerk. The whole thing was cringe worthy.
Bruno was right. Anyone that agrees to perform on that show has to be able to accept what the judges say regardless. He did not get the votes because his dancing was horrible. So does that mean he wants all the people that did not vote to apologize as well!
OH Please, I can't believe this is even news worthy. I think Bruno was too nice if you want the truth, Bolton SUCKED!
I agree Bolton was being a whiny baby because the man has no rhythm whatsoever. It was painful to watch his try to dance. I didn't realize Bolton was such a wussy baby. He sure doesn't look like his voice.
Nice "Office Space" ref.
And Bruno was a jerk but that's his job. Bolton should get over it.
So just who is this ugly, loudmouthed, rude and obnoxious Bruno, and why should anyone give a rat's ass for his inane opinions? That being said, Bolton danced like he hurt his back and had a body brace on...or, more honestly, like most of us would look if we tried to get out there and dance like that. I say, give them all a break for having the guts to get out there and try something different, its easy for us couch potatoes to sit on our fat rears eating Cheetos and laugh at someone like Bolton who got out there, learned something new and showed it to the world. Good for you, Michael, and yes, even the sad Hoff, for giving it a good, honest try!!!
I don't watch the show cause I can't stand this Bruno guy. He is trying so hard to be like a Simon Cowell but has no class at all. Get him out of that show and get a judge who is fun and entertaining and nice to look at.
no-talent ass clown. Thats most white men for you on the dance floor bahahahahahahah
the fool new what he was getting into ..the judges on there are there for the camera and to act like that so if you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen ...MICHAEL BOLTON take ya azz on vacay and chilll YOU CANT DANCE WHITE BOY so get over it...appologize for the truth smfhhhh i think not ...what a jack ass....
WHITE MAN CANT JUMP OR DANCE OR MATTER FACT nothin at all but write my checks....
