Along with the pros of retirement (all that free time) comes one big con: the possibility that you'll outlive your assets and be unable to afford nursing home or at-home care if you require it. That's where long-term care (LTC) insurance, which you purchase in addition to your regular health insurance, comes into play. It kicks in if you're unable to perform basic daily activities by yourself. (Medicare usually doesn't adequately accommodate your needs.) But the relatively new LTC insurance industry is now experiencing growing pains: Insurance companies that initially underestimated the cost of providing coverage are either exiting the business or sharply increasing premiums for existing policyholders. So shop carefully for a policy.
You should buy LTC between the ages of 50 and 60. Get a premium you can afford at the time of purchase and for the next 20 years. It makes no sense to pay $3,000 a year for a policy if eventually you have to drop it. So buy a policy you'll be able to afford into your mid-80s (the average age of entry into a nursing home). Next, choose a company that has been offering this kind of insurance for at least 15 years and has a rating of A or better (like John Hancock and Genworth). Make sure you choose a zero-day elimination period, which means your coverage will begin on the first day you need care; a 90-day elimination period means that you or your family will have to pay out of pocket for your first three months of care. Because healthcare costs are rising at an alarming rate, you'll also benefit from choosing "inflation protection," whereby your policy increases your benefit payout by a compounded 5 percent annually. And because the average stay in a nursing home is less than three years, you should choose at least a four-year benefit period that also covers at-home care. You may be able to save by purchasing LTC insurance through work or at a spousal-partner discount. I know, I know—you think, "I'll never end up in a nursing home". Well, as with all insurance policies: I hope you'll never need to use any of them, but if you do, they sure are nice to have. From the October 2005 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

TEAMS: Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Kyrie Irving scored 29 points, Anderson Varejao had a career-high 23 rebounds and the Cleveland Cavaliers opened the season with a 94-84 victory over the short-handed Washington Wizards on Tuesday night in the first game on the NBA schedule.
Rookie Dion Waiters added 17 points for the Cavs, who led by 16 in the third quarter but needed big plays from Irving and Varejao in the final minutes to hold off the Wizards. Varejao had a career-high nine assists, two setting up dunks by Tristan Thompson in the last two minutes.
Jordan Crawford scored 11 points to lead the Wizards, who were without star point guard John Wall, power forward Nene and forward Kevin Seraphin. Wall, the former No. 1 overall pick, is expected to be out until late November with a knee injury.

Thank you for reading #21 of the DVD Catalyst Newsletter.
Tech news:
This week was all about Windows 8. Microsoft released a "Developer Build" for Windows 8 this week. I played with it a bit, but for me it isn't ready yet. The interface looks cool, but I was encountering some complications with apps not starting, and missing drivers. I did use a fairly low-spec machine, but the same system runs Windows 7 just fine.
DVD Catalyst News:
DVD Catalyst 4 v126.96.36.199 was released, which tackles a few small bugs.
MovieGallery 1.2.6 was released for the NOOKcolor. The normal Android version is still being worked on due to some additional new features.

A lot of conversion tools are having a hard time with the new Thor movie DVD, but thankfully, if you use DVD Catalyst 4, you don't have to worry about that. Thor does have the fake-track issue, but once you have determined the correct track to use, the Thor DVD will convert just fine. Make sure that you do turn off other DVD-related utilities (AnyDVD/DVDfab etc) you might have installed though.

So what is the big deal about tablets?
Besides being the year of devices being released with more promised features than actual features (see my previous newsletters for that), 2011 is also the year where many device manufacturers have released tablets to catch up with the iPad.
Everywhere you look, the tablet-craze is going on. advertising on TV, magazines, prominent displays in stores, all intended to lure you into touching one, playing with one, to get you to purchase.
Unfortunately, there is no real, clear-cut market for tablets, which makes it hard to come up with a reason why you should buy one. Adding to that, there is a lot of misconception on the capabilities and limitations. For many people, a tablet is more like a gadget, or a tech-toy, something different, but at prices of $500 and up, they are quite pricy for most of us.
Earlier today my brother asked me about tablets. He's not a geek like me, but he does have an interest in technology, and of course he has been eyeballing tablets. He found a few cheap ones, and asked me if they would be any good. While I do know his usage scenario, I asked him what he actually expects to do with a tablet.
Games/Apps: He mentioned he just wanted to use the tablet for some games and maybe some apps for his son. If you go with a cheap, no-name brand, you will be missing things like the Android Market, which will limit your options a lot. While for some there are "fixes" available to enable this, for many of them, you will be limited to use other "App Stores" to obtain your games and apps, many of them not having the full range.
Video: My brother has a fairly extensive video collection in a variety of formats. Most of his content is in AVI (DIVX/XVID) format, but he recently made the move to HD, so he's been migrating to a WDTV with files in MKV format. While it is possible to play these kinds of files on tablets using players like Dice, Mobo, Rock and MX, the files will often play in "software" mode, which takes quite a bit of performance from your processor, especially for HD video. The sad thing is, most tablets are advertised as being great for video playback, but only the Apple iPad actually has something (iTunes) to make it easy to obtain movies and TV shows. For Android tablets, really the only way to get new movies to use a conversion tool such as DVD Catalyst to convert your movies. On some devices, Samsung included either Avatar of Transformers 2, but without an actual movie store to obtain other movies, things get pretty boring watching the same movie over and over again. Hollywood doesn't seem to care too much about Android either, since the "Digital Copies" they give away "for free" with some DVDs and Blurays are so DRM-loaded that maybe 1% of the Android devices out there are capable of playing these files.
Internet: Of course one of the main uses for a tablet is to have quick access to the internet. Checking your email or looking up something on IMDB while you are watching a movie, all great uses for a tablet, but it is still not up to par with using a laptop. Things like Flash don't work (iPad) or work partially, forum websites run laggy or certain functionality is not available, preventing you from logging into your bank's website to check your account online for example. So for many, the idea of having a tablet results in more aggravation and disappointment than actual use.
For my own use, tablets work great. Of course as the developer of DVD Catalyst, I have no issues with converting my videos, and for checking my email, they work great as well, but beyond that, I really don't use them as much, and with email, it is often easier to actually get up and type on a real keyboard rather than trying to type on a tablet.
Because of my limited use, I accept tablets for what they are, and don't run into the limitations and disappointment that many other people do. Most of the people who have gripes about the Xoom, Thrive, Transformer, iPad or whatever other tablet they picked up had high expectations, mostly instilled by the fancy advertising campaigns used to market the capabilities of the tablet, but run into limitations or compatibility issues the moment they got it out of the box.
A tablet can be used as a desktop-replacement for many, but of course it all depends on what you actually use your desktop for. When you are shopping for a tablet, make sure you have an idea of what you want to do with it, and use that to make your decision, or be prepared to adjust your expectations based on its capabilities and limitations.
If you already have a tablet yourself, what do you use it for?
Thank you for reading this week's newsletter. Have a nice weekend,

New Work Health and Safety Act
You will hopefully be aware that the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 commenced on 1 January 2012, replacing the previous legislation: OHS Act 2000 (NSW). The WHS Act 2011 and associated Regulations and Codes of Practice, are available via the following links to the WorkCover NSW or Safe Work Australia websites:
New provision for work area Health and Safety Representatives (HSR)
There is provision in the new legislation for an additional health and safety consultative mechanism via work area HSRs, which may also sit within, or be separate to, the University's current consultative mechanism (The University Health and Safety Committee, Faculty and Division Health and Safety Committees, and their elected members).
Further details are available here
Find out more about Health and Safety Representatives, and their function and responsibilities under the new legislation:
Work Health and Safety Act 2011: Division 3
Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011: Division 2
Work Health and Safety Consultation, Co-operation and Co-ordination Code of Practice
Safe Work Australia Worker Representation and Participation Guide
Do you need a HSR?
The role of a HSR in the new legislation has been included to provide a specialist health and safety advisory role to assist businesses to comply with the various requirements of the legislation. Any person may be elected to the role, however there is a requirement for nominations by a workgroup in line with the workgroup structures and elections as is the case in any democratic election process. The person undertaking the role will be provided with information and instruction on the duties and functions of the HSR by attending a training course (5 days). Following the course, they will be assessed by WorkCover and if approved, able to perform the functions.
Additional support to the existing structure
Having a HSR in a workplace is not a requirement. It is an option that is now available under the new legislation. The University's current consultation mechanisms via Faculty and Divisional Committees and the University Health and Safety Committee will continue to function and the Health and Safety Team will remain able to assist at any time with Health and Safety information, assistance and intervention. Any HSRs will be in addition to the current support structures.
Need more information or advice?
If, following review of the above information, you feel that your work area may be in need of a HSR, please contact the Health and Safety Team who are also able to provide advice regarding the new legislation, or discuss any questions you may have regarding Health and Safety Representatives, or Health and Safety consultation at the University.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I am passionate about the French language and want to share what I know. I recently graduated from Penn State University with a minor in French and Francophone studies. There, I took and tutored for classes in basic, intermediate and advanced French, as well as in literature, writing and translation. I have been studying the French language since 8th grade. I have also studied abroad in Montreal, Canada with the Lingua Worldwide program and in Poitiers, France, with distant relatives. My approach to tutoring is, after assessing a student's level of proficiency, to target the student's interests. If she likes to read, we read books written in dual languages. If he likes to talk about the outdoors, we spend time learning vocabulary about that subject.I find tutoring students who are motivated to learn and curious about the subject matter a rewarding activity that enriches my own linguistic experience as well as the student's. I look forward to meeting students and helping them to learn the French language!In addition to French, I am pleased to offer my students tutoring in additional subject matter that they may have questions with, such as biology and writing.

Relearning our ABCs: new twists on an old model
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 6, Issue 7, 1 July 2001, Pages 310-316
Thomas Jack
AbstractOver the past decade, the ABC model of flower development has been widely promulgated. However, correct flower-organ development requires not only the ABC genes but also the SEPALLATA genes. When the SEPALLATA genes are expressed together with the ABC genes, both vegetative and cauline leaves are converted to floral organs. Most of the ABC genes and all three SEPALLATA genes encode MADS transcription factors, which bind to DNA as dimers. Here, amendments to the ABC model are considered that incorporate both the SEPALLATA genes and the ability of MADS proteins to form higher-order complexes.

AbstractIn the past decade, enormous progress has been made in our understanding of the molecular and genetic control of meristem growth, maintenance and differentiation into plant organs. Several model plants have contributed to our current knowledge of meristem function. Research using Petunia has had a substantial share in this progress. Integration of information obtained from this species gives clues about the common and diverged pathways underlying the formation and functioning of plant meristems.

Game Preview: Patriots @ Steelers
Now, New England takes its 6-2 record to the giant ketchup bottle in Heinz Field to take on the 6-2 Steelers during Sunday Night Football on NBC. New England fans might not want to remember the last time their team was on SNF when a certain 4th and 2 decision was made, but that's another story. With the tough stretch of games coming up, it is vital that the Patriots show that they are still a force to be reckoned within the AFC by going on the road to face a tough opponent who is on a short week. It's not a must win, but more of a "show me" kind of win.
The Steelers are coming off a Monday night win over their AFC North division rival, Cincinnati. Ever since Ben Roethlisberger jumped back into the offense in Week 6, Pittsburgh has had more of a downfield ability to add to their running game of Rashard Mendenhall. However, numerous injuries could hurt Pittsburgh on both sides of the ball with defensive end Aaron Smith and left tackle Max Starks out due to injuries. It is always tough to score or go downfield on a defense coached by Dick Lebeau, and Mike Tomlin is one of the more underrated head coaches in the league.
Here are my keys to Sunday Night's Epic Matchup:
1.New England's receivers: Last week, we saw the Patriots make a ton of mistakes with their young receivers in terms of catching the ball. Rob Gronkowski had a fair catch blunder on a kickoff and a fumble near the goal line to end the first half. Aaron Hernandez had his share of drops as well. This game is an opportunity for Tom Brady to attack a Pittsburgh defense that, even with Troy Polamalu, is 12th in the AFC in pass defense. Carson Palmer was able to throw all over them in the 4th quarter on Monday night, but it was too little, too late. Brandon Tate and Wes Welker will need to make plays for New England to come out of Pittsburgh with a win. Plus, the offense, as a whole, needs to hang on to the football.
2.Ben Roethlisberger: The Patriots did not do a good job of putting pressure on rookie quarterback Colt McCoy last week as the Texas kid went 14/19 in the victory. If you can't get McCoy down on the first tackle, how are you going to bring down a guy like Roethlisberger who makes his living on the run after a busted up play?
Opposing quarterbacks are completing passes at a high rate against the weak New England secondary. This is why I wished the Pats would have taken a shot at CB Al Harris before he joined the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday. Hines Ward and Mike Wallace are two better than average receivers and don't rule out the trick plays from Antwaan Randle El, who was a quarterback in college.
3.James Harrison: With recent regard to Tom Brady's sprained foot injury, the New England offensive line might want to make sure James Harrison doesn't get a direct look at Brady. The linebacker has seven sacks, but most importantly, he has shown that he is not afraid to give a big hit. Harrison has been fined for $100,000 under the new NFL hits policy over numerous hits throughout the season.
4.The Kicking Game: Yes, I had this as a key three weeks ago when New England went into San Diego. It turned out that was a deciding key, and with the season ending thigh injury to Patriots' kicker Stephen Gostkowski, that could be the case Sunday Night. No, Wes Welker will not be kicking field goals; instead it will be former Bengals' kicker Shayne Graham.
Now, Graham is not a name most people see as better than Gostkowski. But, Graham can be useful in this game as he is 16/21 lifetime kicking field goals at Heinz Field. As we have seen in the past, the Giant Ketchup Bottle tends to not give up a ton of long field goals. So, if New England is down three in the finals seconds, you can have some faith that Graham can send the game into overtime.
Prediction: For me, this is the toughest prediction to make because after the way New England played last week at Cleveland, I am a little hesitant to think they can go into Heinz Field on a Sunday night and win with the defense they have. Over the last two games, the Patriots' defense has clearly missed not having safety Patrick Chung in that secondary for the big hits he distributes and his ability to make the big play.
If the Patriots do not get after Ben Roethlisberger like they did to Flacco, Rivers, and at times, Brett Favre, this could be another long night. I think New England can hang around in this game as the underdog and the offense, as we know, usually doesn't have two bad off weeks. Pittsburgh's defense is one of the best in the NFL, but is vulnerable to the pass. I think the Pats' bend but don't break defense holds up for a win. When people doubt New England like the media has this week, Belichick's teams usually show up.

Now in its fourth year, Dining Out For Life Silicon Valley is the only major public fundraising event supporting The Health Trust AIDS Services, which, according to a release provides food, housing, case management and job counseling to more than 800 low-income clients with HIV/AIDS.
"When we brought Amici's and our East Coast style pizza to Silicon Valley, we made this community our home," said Amici's President Peter Cooperstein in a release. "Dining Out For Life is a great way to give back, and to bring Valley residents together to help those among us who need our support the most."
This year, on April 26 44 Silicon Valley restaurants will donate a percentage of their sales to the organization, including five in Campbell.
Many of these restaurants have been participating in the event for several years but this year, there are quite a few newcomers, says Jon Breen, fund development coordinator.
This year, Campbell has two new participants in the event: and along with its veteran participants and .
"It's a good cause to be part of and I like the organization," says Sonoma Chicken Coop owner Jeff Starbeck.
All three of his locations, one in Campbell and two in San Jose are participating in this year's event and 15 percent of all proceeds that day will benefit the Health Trust's AIDS Services.
Five restaurants on this year's list have been participating in the event since its inception: Hobee's and Amici's, Park Place in Cupertino and Loft Bar and Bistro and Morocco's in downtown San Jose.
The event is part of a much larger one, which includes 60 cities in the US and Canada and more than 3,500 participating restaurants. The event was born in 1991 in Philadelphia.
Patty Fisher, director of policy and communications at the Health Trust says that there are many reasons to come out and dine at a participating restaurant but the main reason is to help serve others within the community.
"We are facing funding cuts as all nonprofits are and we really need the community to support our AIDS services," Fisher says. "It's getting harder and harder to depend on government funds."
In 2010, the event raised $48,000 for the organization and in 2011 raised $40,000. The organization hopes to raise $65,000 this year in order to make up for lost funds, Fisher says.
The money raised by the event will go back into the Health Trust's AIDS services, the largest HIV/AIDS program in Silicon Valley, with nearly 1,000 individuals and their families benefiting from it.
In 2011, the Health Trust AIDS Services did the following:
- Provided case management services to 755 people;
- Provided food baskets to 506 people;
- Provided housing assistance to 187 people;
- Provided transportation assistance for 300 people;
- Provided emergency funds to 259 people;
- Received 5,127 visits to its wellness and prevention community center.
Fisher says that there are two ways to support the program:
- Go out and eat at the restaurants.
- Donate. There will be envelopes at each of the participating restaurants that visitors can leave a donation. Donations can also be made here.

Ludwig von Mises
Introduction to the Henry Regnery Co. edition (1953) of Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of The Wealth of Nations: Selections.
Why Read Adam Smith Today?
A popular legend calls Adam Smith the Father of Political Economy and his two great books?The Theory of Moral Sentiments, first published in 1759, and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, first published in 1776?epoch-making in economic history as well as in the evolution of economic thought. However, this is not quite correct. Smith did not inaugurate a new chapter in social philosophy and did not sow on land hitherto left uncultivated. His books were rather the consummation, summarization, and perfection of lines of thought developed by eminent authors?mostly British?over a period of more than a hundred years. Smith's books did not lay the foundation stone, but the keystone, of a marvelous system of ideas. Their eminence is to be seen precisely in the fact that they integrated the main body of these ideas into a systematic whole. They presented the essence of the ideology of freedom, individualism, and prosperity, with admirable logical clarity and in an impeccable literary form.
It was this ideology that blew up the institutional barriers to the display of the individual citizen's initiative and thereby to economic improvement. It paved the way for the unprecedented achievements of laissez-faire capitalism. The practical application of liberal principles multiplied population figures and, in the countries committed to the policies of economic freedom, secured even to less capable and less industrious people a standard of living higher than that of the well-to-do of the "good old" days. The average American wage-earner would not like to dwell in the dirty, badly lighted, and poorly heated palatial houses, in which the members of the privileged English and French aristocracy lived 200 years ago, or to do without those products of capitalist big business that render his life comfortable.
The ideas that found their classical expression in the two books of Adam Smith demolished the traditional philosophy of Mercantilism and opened the way for capitalist mass production for the needs of the masses. Under capitalism the common man is the much-talked-about customer who "is always right." His buying makes efficient entrepreneurs rich, and his abstention from buying forces inefficient entrepreneurs to go out of business. Consumers' sovereignty, which is the characteristic mark of business in a free world, is the signature of production activities in the countries of Western Civilization.
The civilization is today furiously attacked by Eastern barbarians from without and by domestic self-styled Progressives from within. Their aim is, as one of their intellectual leaders, the Frenchman Georges Sorel,[*] put it, to destroy what exists. They want to substitute central planning by the government for the autonomy of the individual citizens, and totalitarianism for democracy. As their muddy and unwarranted schemes cannot stand the criticism leveled by sound economics, they exult in smearing and calumniating all their opponents.
Adam Smith too is a target of these smear campaigns. One of the most passionate advocates of destructionism had the nerve to call him, in the Introduction to an inexpensive edition of the Wealth of Nations, "an unconscious mercenary in the service of a rising capitalist class" and to add that "he gave a new dignity to greed and a new sanctification to the predatory impulses."[1] Other leftists resort to even still ruder insults.
As against such shallow opinions it may be appropriate to quote the verdict of wiser judges. The British historian Henry Thomas Buckle (1821-1862), declared "that this solitary Scotchman has, by the publication of one single work, contributed more toward the happiness of man than has been effected by the united abilities of all the statesmen and legislators of whom history has presented an authentic record." The English economist Walter Bagehot (1826-1877) said about the Wealth of Nations: "The life of almost everyone in England?perhaps of everyone?is different and better in consequence of it."
A work that has been praised in such a way by eminent authors must not be left on the shelves of libraries for the perusal of specialists and historians only. At least its most important chapters should be read by all those who are eager to learn something about the past. There can hardly be found another book that could initiate a man better into the study of the history of modern ideas and the prosperity created by industrialization. Its publication date?1776, the year of the American Declaration of Independence?marks the dawn of freedom both political and economic. There is no Western nation that was not benefited by policies inspired by the ideas that received their classical formulation in this unique treatise.
However, a warning must be given. Nobody should believe that he will find in Smith's Wealth of Nations information about present-day economics or about present-day problems of economic policy. Reading Smith is no more a substitute for studying economics than reading Euclid is a substitute for the study of mathematics. It is at best an historical introduction into the study of modern ideas and policies. Neither will the reader find in the Wealth of Nations a refutation of the teachings of Marx, Veblen, Keynes, and their followers. It is one of the tricks of the socialists to make people believe that there are no other writings recommending economic freedom than those of 18th-century authors and that in their, of course unsuccessful, attempts to refute Smith they have done all that is needed to prove the correctness of their own point of view. Socialist professors?not only in the countries behind the Iron Curtain?withheld from their students any knowledge about the existence of contemporary economists who deal with the problems concerned in an unbiased scientific way and who have devastatingly exploded the spurious schemes of all brands of socialism and interventionism. If they are blamed for their partiality, they protest their innocence. "Did we not read in class some chapters of Adam Smith?" they retort. In their pedagogy the reading of Smith serves as a blind for ignoring all sound contemporary economics.
Read the great book of Smith. But don't think that this may save you the trouble of seriously studying modern economics books. Smith sapped the prestige of 18th-century government controls. He does not say anything about the controls of 1952 or the Communist challenge.
[*] Georges Sorel (1847-1922), a French political thinker, advocated at various times in his life violence, Marxism, revolutionary syndicalism, and Bolshevism.
[1] Max Lerner in the Modern Library edition of the Wealth of Nations (New York: Random House), 1937, p. ix.

Art Goes Live on Market Street
By Allison McCarthy on October 07, 2010 10:00 AM
Starting today, you may notice some unusual activity occurring on Market Street. Don't mistake it for the usual cast of crazies known for loitering and creating ruckus of all sorts on the sidewalk. These people aren't homeless and begging for money, but rather make up a troupe of characters telling the story of eight prominent African Americans who lived and worked near Market Street during the mid-19th century.
