Grandpa's fixed pension—that sweet and steady stream of income that started on the day he retired—is nearing extinction. Today, most Americans will retire not on company checks but on personal savings and Social Security. With interest rates low, the stock market jumpy, and Congress pinching pennies, it is no surprise that 87 percent of us worry about running out of money, according to a new study conducted by Harris Interactive.
That worry helps explain the popularity of annuities, financial products designed to generate a steady cash flow as long as you live. But today's annuities are very different from yesterday's pensions, says Christopher Jones, CFP, principal of Las Vegas-based Sparrow Wealth Management: "They certainly are not for everyone, and choosing the right one is crucial."
You buy an annuity by forking over a lump sum, and, in return, the annuity company agrees to pay you a set amount of cash each month for the rest of your life. Why annuities? Bonds generate steady dividends too, but you'll get more monthly cash from the annuity. That's because of something called the "mortality premium," which is a polite way of saying that annuity providers will pay you more today because when you die they, not your heirs, will grab your principal. The mortality premium gets larger for every candle on your birthday cake. The very best candidates for an annuity are older (65+) and have expectations of living a good long time.
You are probably a good candidate for an annuity if…
You're not certain you have enough money coming from Social Security and your savings to cover your basic expenses in retirement. Say you've crunched the numbers (see "What's Your Retirement Number") and have calculated that you'll need to tap $1,000 every month from personal savings, but that's really more than your nest egg can handle. Buying an annuity that pays out $1,000 a month will allow you to sleep at night.
You are probably a bad candidate for an annuity if…
You have a good-sized nest egg, are in little danger of running out of money, and can stomach a bit of market risk. "The return you'll get on a diversified portfolio will very likely be much greater than what you'll get on an annuity," says Jones. In addition, your heirs—not the annuity company—will get your money when you pass away.
The standard annuity is a fixed-income annuity. To receive a guaranteed $1,000 a month, a fixed annuity today would cost a 65-year-old man roughly $165,000 (about $175,000 for a woman because women usually live longer). You may choose to purchase add-ons such as a "joint-and-survivor" benefit, which allows your spouse to continue collecting if you die in exchange for reduced cash flow while you're alive.
The other kind of annuity is called a variable annuity. Unlike the fixed annuity, this option ties your cash payments to underlying investments. The payout fluctuates, but you still get security. However, Jones warns that variable annuities, often pushed by aggressive salespeople, can be incredibly complex and expensive, and often don't deliver as they promise.
Ready to start shopping? Kerry Pechter, publisher of the online newsletter Retirement Income Journal and author of Annuities for Dummies, offers the following tips and caveats:
• Buy only from a strong company. You may be around for several more decades; you want a company that will be around, too. Choose only companies with the very highest credit ratings. Ratings are listed on the websites of the providers.
• Compare offers. Prices change frequently, and during any given month the best deal might shift from one carrier to another. You can compare prices easily online. The following sites will give you competitive quotes from top-rated companies: Fidelity.com, ImmediateAnnuities.com, and IncomeSolutions.com (that last one is available only to customers of Vanguard and fee-only financial planners).
• If you are concerned about inflation (and you should be), don't put all of your money into an annuity. Leave enough aside to invest in stocks or buy an annuity with inflation protection (which costs a bit more but adjusts annually to reflect cost-of-living increases).
• Because annuities pay you based on current interest rates, and interest rates are now very low, you might want to "ladder" your annuities by putting some money into an annuity today and buying another every year for several years.
• If you feel a bit lost, you might think about getting an unbiased expert to help. Consider a fee-only financial planner; find one at napfa.org.

Slideshow: LEDs Light Up Detroit Auto Show
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are chipping away at the century-old automotive lighting market in ways that no one foresaw even five years ago.
Many of today's vehicles use LED-based center high-mount stop lamps, headlights, and taillights. But the LED penetration has gone beyond such basics. The new Acura TLX prototype, for example, has a row of LED lights on its mirrors. Cadillac places LEDs on the rear decklid of its CTS sedan. Ford has even put them on the door sill plate of its Mustang. And many other manufacturers use LEDs for daytime running lamps, fog lamps, and for eyebrows above the headlights.

'Playing of a technical command that invites comparison with the best available' (Gramophone)
'An emotional intensity which leaves little doubt that it meant a great deal to the composer – and to these prize-winning Russian players' (Liverpool Evening News)
'An extremely well-balanced and -matched ensemble, giving highly energised and committed performances. This recording seems to have found the ideal balance between youthful vigour and adult refinement. The tone is warm and the recording sumptuous. The disc is very highly recommended' (Music Teacher)
Allegro non troppo
Moderato – Allegretto
Moderato con moto
Shostakovich's 15 string quartets represent one of the 20th century's most profound statements in chamber music. As he grew older, Shostakovich's focus shifted increasingly towards the chamber medium, and the Quartets contain some of his most personal and poignant musical utterances. Here the St Petersburg String Quartet add to their highly successful series of quartets by Shostakovich with three more compelling recordings, this time Nos 5, 7 and 9. Shostakovich wrote his Fifth Quartet in 1952 and is his greatest string quartet up to that time—a masterpiece which he never surpassed and rarely equalled for its consummate symphonic integration. It was the first quartet to have a direct connection with one of his symphonies, in this case the Tenth. The Seventh Quartet was completed in March 1960. It is the shortest of the series and explores aspects of quartet-writing not encountered in other of his works, at least up to that time. It is dedicated to the memory of his first wife, Nina, who had died in 1954. The work moves between passion and tension and draws largely on fugal writing to make the distinctions apparent. The Ninth Quartet is another personal work, dedicated to Irina Antonovna Shostakovich, his third wife whom he married in 1962. |

Introduction |
No matter how Shostakovich chose to clothe his works, on one level his music always speaks directly to his audience. Occasionally he will touch raw emotional nerves, or juxtapose seemingly irreconcilable material for dramatic effect, or—like any great creative artist—take us on a journey so fascinating and unique that we willingly follow him. Even when his music poses problems for us, the intensity of his expression at such moments never alienates the listener.
Underlying the emotional expressiveness of Shostakovich's music is the great and profound art by which it is communicated, a technical mastery complete and without peer in the twentieth century, and possessing a fundamental originality that, even a quarter of a century after his death, is barely recognised. If some composers have suffered from neglect, others, like Shostakovich, have suffered from too great an exposure. Our exposure to his work has often led to an assumption that, because we have been familiar with this music since it first appeared, through frequent performances, recordings and broadcasts, articles, books and programme notes, we know all about it. By the time of Shostakovich's Quartet No 5 (1952), the composer had demonstrated his mastery in the medium through his Quartets Nos 2, 3 & 4 (1944–1948), but by then several significant events had occurred to change both his view of the world and his compositional approach. The Second World War, the imposition of Communist rule across post-war Eastern Europe and the dictatorial regime of Stalin had impinged upon the lives of all in their paths; and the notorious Zhdanov decree of 1948 had publicly upbraided Shostakovich, along with every other leading Soviet composer, virtually forcing him to withhold a number of works until the political climate had changed, which it did after Stalin's death in March 1953. The years 1948 to 1953 were not wasted by Shostakovich. Apart from the works which he composed, as it were in secret, his visit to Leipzig in 1950 to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of J S Bach led directly to one of the most pivotal works in his output—the 24 Preludes and Fugues for piano Opus 87 (1950/51)—in which his contrapuntal skills were defined as never before. It was perhaps only to be expected that his first major instrumental work since completing Opus 87 would display elements of his redefined contrapuntal mastery, and in the Fifth Quartet such characteristics can indeed be found, but not to the exclusion of others, equally typical and equally indicative of his creative abilities. String Quartet No 5 in B flat major Op 92 Despite such overtly and covertly symphonic elements, the Fifth Quartet is arguably Shostakovich's most private chamber work, stemming from the concentrated development of its motivic, even cellular, intense thematicism. This is reinforced by the work's three movements', although distinct, being joined together—not merely played attacca—in the manner of some of Shostakovich's later works. In this aspect we find the complete integration of the composition, a fulfilment of the joining of movements in his earlier quartets. Finally, the structure of the quartet's first movement adheres to classical precedent in having an exposition double bar and repeat, as in the Second and Third Quartets. The first two bars constitute the motto for the entire composition, dominated in the second bar by the viola 'theme' (itself derived from DSCH) and, naturally, containing within it the three intervals from which the work grows: ascending minor second, major second, and minor third. Indeed, it can justly be claimed that the quartet grows wholly from the interval of a second. What might be termed a bridge is wholly developmental, bringing in its wake fragments of new material before the second subject, in complete contrast to the first, enters. This is a simple diatonic theme in G major, but in 3/4 time, its diatonicism based on the interval of a third. Such disparate material implies a lengthy movement, and the music embarks upon an absorbing discussion, full of cross-rhythms and cross-tonalities, alongside attempts to achieve a synthesis between such disparate ideas. The synthesis is achieved through the interval of a third before a high F natural on first violin joins the second movement to the first; in this movement, based eventually upon D, the lyrical aspects of the material are more fully explored—for the ideas are but transformations of those from the first movement. The instruments are muted throughout, and the texture alternates between trio- and quartet-writing. But even when four instruments are used, Shostakovich is not above creating the illusion of a fifth, with the cello arco and pizzicato at the same time. Once more the differentiation of duple and triple time adds an underlying oscillation to the basic pulse. As before, the second movement and finale are joined, this time by a D–F sharp third, and the finale begins 'Moderato', with the second violin musing over aspects of the basic material, in 2/4, leading to 3/4 when a gentle dance begins. The dance grows in intensity before subsiding as a final reconciliation of the disparate elements, now transformed into a folk-like theme. This masterpiece ends quietly, gently musing over the fertile intervals which began it. String Quartet No 7 in F sharp minor Op 108 The quartet opens with a chromatic descending idea on first violin, answered by three repeated quavers, firmly anchoring the tonality to F sharp minor. A secondary rising theme—also in quavers—over a low C leads to the second subject proper in E flat minor, on the cello. This is combined with the secondary theme, and a developmental codetta leads to an extraordinary counter-statement of the preceding material. The tempo changes to 3/8, the quavers remaining even, and the timbre to pizzicato, as the tonality returns to F sharp minor. The second subject is restated more or less regularly in F sharp, and the earlier repeated quavers in a gentle coda quietly bring the movement to its close. The second violin begins the central Lento with an accompanimental figure spread across the four strings, over which first violin sings a long-breathed theme clearly derived in part from the opening idea of the quartet. The instruments are muted throughout and when the viola and cello enter, in bare fifths, they bring the first glissando in any Shostakovich quartet. First cello, then viola, and finally both in octaves, continue the violin theme—second violin accompanies virtually throughout the movement—which is taken up by first violin again, over an eventual low D pedal, to the end, but not before a falling viola phrase—A, G sharp, F sharp, E sharp (i.e. F natural)—is heard. At once the finale burst upon us, the quartet's opening anapæstic rhythm extended but at once silenced by the viola's four-note phrase (the significance of which remains unclear) as the movement immediately hurtles on its breathless way. In its rush, themes from the second movement are recalled—almost grabbed at—before the quartet's opening idea is given out, a third higher, by all four instruments in octaves, fff. The recall of first-movement material brings proceedings almost to a halt, and then the second major part of the finale, in effect a fourth movement—not unlike a gentle ghostly waltz—begins. As it proceeds it recalls aspects of the first movement's counter-statement before recapitulating, in essence, the gentle coda from that movement, now shown to be a coda to the entire composition. String Quartet No 9 in E flat major Op 117 The Ninth Quartet is in five movements. A quintuple ground plan was not unique in his output, for three symphonies (8, 9 and 13), the Piano Quintet, and the Third and Eighth Quartets are each in five movements. In the Ninth Quartet the movements follow without a break, and of the earlier five-movement works only the Eighth Quartet is also fully continuous. As we noted above, the Seventh Quartet is also played without breaks between its three movements. Taking Nos 7, 8 and 9 together, we thus have three consecutive quartets which are continuous in performance—the only occasion in any genre in Shostakovich's output where such a sequence occurs. Despite these connexions, the Ninth differs in that the greatest weight is thrown on to the last movement. There are other, closer connexions between Nos 8 and 9, notably thematically and rhythmically, which are sometimes combined. Another important point concerns the tonal basis of No 9. In choosing E flat major as the 'home' key, which (without going into too great a detail) it would have been difficult for Shostakovich to avoid in this context, E flat is the relative major of C minor, the pervasive tonality of the 'suicidal' Eighth, and half-way between the Seventh's F sharp and the Eighth's C minor. What is unusual in the Ninth is Shostakovich's almost psychotic avoidance of C minor in the first four movements. It is as though the E flat of his third wife's quartet has removed the suicidal tendency implicit in the tonal relationship between the relative keys of E flat major and C minor, until in the finale he confronts the problem head-on. The quartet opens with a thematic exposition over a long-held octave-pedal E flat on viola and cello, second violin oscillating scalically through a diminished fifth (initially C and G flat, later G and D flat). Within the first five bars of the work, Shostakovich causes us to glimpse a vast harmonic panorama against which the musico-dramatic events will be played out. The basis for such an observation is not crystal-clear; there is a misty (not mysterious) atmosphere to the music, as the first violin's initial theme plants A within an E flat context (another diminished fifth). Clearly, for those with ears to hear, we may have a long way to go. But nowhere in this music—indeed, as it is probably true to claim in his entire output—is Shostakovich either uncertain in his aims, or unable to take sympathetic listeners with him. If the 'personal' background to this quartet remains a private matter, a message in code, the music throughout makes profound sense as music. Thus the tonal implications of the opening bars, to say nothing of the profoundly symphonic development of the tiny motifs which make up the thematic and intervallic material of the score, are carried through with relentless and unexpectedly original logic. Here is a truly great composer at work. Over a deep but seemingly troubled octave E flat planted in the bass, the first subject group of ideas and fragments is stated by the first violin beginning on the dominant B flat, and characterised by a rising third in moderate dactylic rhythm (as a ghostly reminiscence of the second subject in Symphony No 5's first movement) that falls a fourth to A natural. Although the pull is to E flat, the A natural (as a diminished fifth) at once literally brings a note of tension, destabilising the home tonality and leading to the second subject (initiated by, as it turns out, an important falling third) which is given to the cello in B minor. A rhythmic insertion of 3/2 against 4/4 (not unusual in Shostakovich's work, but here as a subtle nudge) adds another factor which is to assume far greater importance in the quartet. The first-subject material is recalled, but the A natural—long-held, quietly, by the viola—now leads without a break and seemingly without a change of pulse to the second movement, a more lyrical scene in F sharp minor (of which, of course, the A is the third) and wholly in 3/2. Despite the appearance of a theme on first violin, in which all twelve notes are heard, the movement is more concerned with exploring melodically the interval of a minor third (F sharp being tonally a minor third from E flat), later falling, and now leading at once to the third movement, also based upon F sharp, but more obsessed with the dominant, C sharp. This movement introduces the first genuinely fast music in the work. Without going into greater detail with regard to the tonal basis of this pivotal movement, suffice to say it later revolves around D minor and E minor (as the dominant of A), before climbing back to F sharp, the C sharp transformed into D flat. This now falls like a slow ostinato to C (it is, in fact, a transformation of the second violin's oscillation at the beginning of the work), and it almost seems as though in this fourth movement C minor has arrived. In some ways it has, momentarily, but is always sidestepped by an E flat minor idea, slow and deep in the bass. There are exposed solo recitative-like passages for both violins and viola—pizzicato especially—and later the first violin, over a harmonic blur of superimposed adjacent fifths, which falls to B flat and A, whereupon the finale suddenly bursts upon us. This magnificent movement—almost String Quartet No 9a—plays for about two-fifths of the entire piece, and sees a powerful battle for the final establishment of the home key, through a redevelopment of the quartet's entire material, fused by a dramaturgic-like vividness of expression which astonishes us by its intensity and range. This includes a seemingly new folk-like theme in 2/4 against the underlying hectic 3/4, an eruptive restatement of the first violin's recitative on the cello, and a breathtaking fugal (!) restatement of the movement's opening material with the pull of C minor against E flat defeated in the turbulent and exhausting final bars. With this work, Shostakovich's genius is restated afresh. Robert Matthew-Walker © 2001 |

Is Your Business the Best Investment?
A business exists to generate value for its owners. Shareholders in a large international corporation naturally expect to receive dividends, or be able to trade the shares for more money than they paid for them. If neither of these benefits is realized, the shareholder may justifiably consider transferring their investment into another business opportunity.

Pizza >
Brown Hand CenterM-F 8-5PM
Neighborhoods: Stone Oak, Northeast San Antonio
Awesome! – Omg! this place has delicious food!! and wonderful shows put on every friday night by a 13 yr old girl, Natalie Rose.
you people should really go see her! shes amazing!
and all of you below that say the food couldve come from HEB or a jar, whatever.
What do you think? that cooks just make it appear from nothing? who cares where it comes from as long as it is good! and it is! their food is DELICIOUS!!!!! The place might not be decorated like olive garden, or as well know as mcdonalds, or fancy like red lobster, but the food tastes like it should cost a fortune! it is REALLY good! its just a simple, low priced, italian restaraunt. please try it! their is a lot of construction aroud the area, but it is pretty simple to get in.!
not your chain italian! – first time i went i wasn't impressed at all but the second time i enjoyed it and now we go all the time! The italian dressing is great! i have to admit i have tried certain dishes and didn't like them but i recommend the raviloi, PERSONAL pizza, meatball sub, and fett. alfredo. Yummy! as for judging on service come on what resturant doesn't ever have one bad experience , for those who only base it on that down below! but like i said if you are into chain italian you might not like it, but if you are open to both like me you will!
omg i love this place!! – omg dont beleive the bad reveiws!!!! i love this restuarent, and i will go there again and again!!! delicious personal pizzas, which they now serve during the evening!!!
Absolutely the worst service – I walked to order one of their so-called "Award Winning" pizza's. Waited 45 minutes. Come to find out my order was never placed with the cooks. The server didn't even apologize for her mistake. They didn't even offer me anything to fix their mistake. I was surprised I even got a refund.
wonderful family restaurant – i went to capparellis on broadway, and it was the best pizza i have ever tasted in all my life! it is the cadilac of pizza!!! service was wonderful. i can tell their food is homemade. the salad dressing is one of a kind, made by the famous gaetano capparelli and sons. i have met the capparellis personally. they went out of their way to make my evening a pleasent one. they have live entertainment by the new country singer, Natalie Rose. she is 12 yrs. old and has already produced country albums. she is GREAT and draws a crowd on Friday nights. I will surely go there again and again. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
Ugh! – Not worth the trouble at any price. Grandma Capparelli's lasagna could have easily come from the frozen food section of HEB, and the baked ziti tasted like it came from a jar.
Not Italian! – This was the worst pizza I had in San Antonio. It was like an english muffin with with cheese on it. Not good at all.
Great Food – I have been going to Capparelli's since I was a teenager. I have continued going due to the food ! I love the spaghetti and salad. I have gone to get take out and have also gone with friends and have never had a bad time or experienced bad food. The wait staff is average, but if there is something you are not happy with, I have never seen them not try to make a customer happy.
I'll never waste my money there again! – I went to the one on Broadway and I would've been better off buying a couple of frozen lasagnas from HEB. The lasagna was $9 and it was very small and thin, and tasted like it had Chef Boyardee sauce on it. My son took two bites of his spaghetti and pushed the plate away. There were 3 of us dining and my bill was $40, and I've had much better food come out of a can or a microwave! Their prices should be cheaper if they are going to serve food like that.
Food was GREAT and the live music was wo – The food great! I just visited last week and they have added live music.It was just right, not to loud.and the songs played brought back memorys .I have visited all locations and I still like the one on broadway best. the pizzas are the best i've had in san antonio.keep up the good work! I will be back for more...............

THURSDAY, Jan. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' remarkable progress, including standing up with the help of aides Wednesday, bodes well for her continued recovery at a Houston rehabilitation center, where she will be moved Friday, just 13 days after a bullet pierced her brain.
Latest reports from University Medical Center in Tucson indicate that the Arizona congresswoman is able to move both hands and communicate with those around her, although it is unclear if she can speak. All this indicates a high level of motor and emotional function, experts say.
"The fact that she is able to communicate, that she is able to stand and walk, the fact that she is moving both hands is a good thing," said Dr. Kester Nedd, an associate professor of neurology and director of neuro-rehabilitation at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
"Motor function is a very strong predictor of outcome," he said. In addition, her ability to express emotion and interpret human interactions, which are some of the highest levels of cognitive function, means her chances of recovery are very good, Nedd said.
Giffords was one of 18 people shot by a gunman on Jan. 8 outside a Tucson supermarket. Six people died. On Wednesday, a federal grand injury indicted the suspect, Jared Loughner, 22, of Tucson, on charges of attempting to assassinate Giffords and trying to kill two of her aides, the Associated Press reported.
Giffords' rehabilitation will take place at TIRR Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. This is one of the best rehabilitation centers in the country, said Dr. Steve Williams, chief and chairman of the department of rehabilitation medicine at Boston Medical Center and professor and chairman of rehabilitation medicine at Boston University School of Medicine.
"The key things with neurological injuries are when people begin to show signs of recovery very early," Williams said. "Very early in the ER she was able to squeeze the physician's hand and she has responded to simple commands, and yesterday she was standing.
"The issue is really going to be cognitive function, which is complex reasoning and abstract thinking," added Williams, who was not involved in her treatment but has studied the injury reports so far made public.
Physically, the 40-year-old Giffords is making great progress, Williams said, but the full extent of her injuries is still unknown.
Nedd noted that Giffords is already starting at a very high level of functioning. "She was blessed," he said. "A lot of the force of the bullet that struck her was dissipated by the skull and the bullet exiting," he said. Also the injury was not to the deep brain, he added.
Once Giffords is settled in Houston -- where her astronaut husband Capt. Mark Kelly lives -- the medical staff will evaluate Giffords' physical and mental abilities, Williams said
One of the first steps in rehabilitation is to help patients regain the ability to take care of themselves. "This is called activities of daily living," Nedd said.
Giffords' rehabilitation will most likely center on her speaking ability and the processes of thinking, Williams said. She may be given medications, such as Ritalin, to stimulate the brain, he said.
One rehab goal is to retrain the brain to take over functions that may have been lost or damaged by trauma, experts said. This is done through repetition, Nedd said. "The brain has the ability to shift function from one part of the brain to another," he said.
Giffords will probably remain at TIRR Memorial Hermann for a month or two, then continue rehabilitation on an outpatient basis, perhaps for a year or more, Williams said.
Giffords, a Democrat, was elected to the House of Representatives in 2006.
Her survival has astounded experts, including Dr. David Langer, director of cerebrovascular research at the Cushing Neuroscience Institutes, part of North Shore/Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Great Neck, N.Y.
Ninety percent of people with gunshot wounds to the head die, said Langer.

My sense has long been that Google tailors their algorithm to different types of sites, different taxonomies if you will. That didn't just begin with Panda.
Normally the last thing I'd be doing is adding more pages to a Panda prone site, but this thread fascinates me as it posed as a success in the face of the update.
Tedster- could taxonomy & usabilty scrutiny have been an element that has been ramped up in this update?
By default , I'm thinking if done well , it's a form of engagement that presumably Google might like.
hispdcha- A few questions :
On those pages would you say users interact heavily with the navigation elements ( county / neigbourhood / listings ) ? , and
What is the bounce rate like on your listing pages ?
What is and/or how is the code base for the search elements generally set up in your vertical.

For patients with renal or visceral artery stenosis, Duke offers specialized treatment that may not be offered at many other institutions.
Visceral artery stenosis is a narrowing of the arteries that supply the major organs. It is most often caused by formation of plaque ("hardening of the arteries").
Renal artery stenosis is narrowing of the artery that delivers blood to the kidney. Renal artery stenosis is often associated with hypertension that is difficult to manage or uncontrollable, as well as renal insufficiency. It is caused by plaque formation or scar tissue formation after an injury.
At Duke, vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists work together to provide the full spectrum of endovascular and open surgical options to treat these rare, complex types of lesions.
Call 888-ASK-DUKE (888-275-3853) to schedule an appointment with a vascular disease specialist at Duke.

Michael E. SchirlingJanuary 8, 2009
TESTIMONY OF CHIEF MICHAEL E. SCHIRLING Many of these successful initiatives have had the support of federal funding in the past. Some were created using critical federal seed money. Alternatively, other critical operational projects have been federally funded, allowing us to expend our local resources on direct service provision and expanding our community policing initiatives. While we, like many law enforcement organizations in Vermont and across the nation, have met with success using a community policing model and adapting to the emerging needs of our jurisdiction, the changing face of crime coupled with the mobile and interconnected nature of modern society continue to pose significant challenges to our resources. Some of our contemporary challenges include: ? Stresses created by the burgeoning drug trade, both in illicit drugs, in our area led by a resurgence in cocaine (powder and rock/crack), as well as the widespread trade and trafficking in prescription narcotics such as oxycontin
One example of the challenges we now face, specific to the drug trade and the increasingly mobile nature of drug traffickers involves the following case from 2008. On July 4, 2008, Burlington Police received information of local resident involved in the sale and distribution of crack cocaine from his residence located in our most densely populated neighborhood, within a block or so from three elementary schools. Investigation revealed that the suspect, local to Burlington, was receiving weekly shipments of crack cocaine. The drugs were transported by three couriers were travelling regularly from New York City to Burlington. Once in Burlington, the couriers would reside with the local subject for a week at a time, providing the crack cocaine that the buyers requested to purchase at the door or the residence. Transactions involved the couriers holding the currency and the crack while the local suspect acted as the retail agent for the transactions to the buyers. Half way through a week, the source providing the crack cocaine to the couriers would send a "runner" from the Schenectady, New York area to collect what ever amount of currency had accumulated at the residence and transport the money to the main source in New York City. When the supply of drugs was exhausted, he would travel back to New York City and be replaced by the next courier. Investigation revealed this activity occurred over a four month period resulting in the sale and distribution of 80 ounces of crack cocaine in the Burlington area. In late 2008, after completing an extensive investigation involving multiple agencies, a variety of investigative resources and including numerous controlled drug purchases and search warrants the case culminated with the arrest of several suspects. A second case example involving the proliferation of prescription medication is illustrated by this investigation: In October of 2008 investigators began receiving information that a local Burlington resident was selling Oxycontin from his home in the Old North End of the city. The suspect's residence was, once again, within a short distance of two elementary schools. Police executed a search warrant at the residence after a period of surveillance. The resident was found in possession of 13 Oxycontin 80 mg pills and about $2,000 in US Currency. The suspect admitted that he was addicted to Oxycontin and he had been selling the pills to support his and his girlfriend's addiction. He admitted that he had been selling approximately 90 to 150 Oxycontin 80 mg pills each day, 5 days per week for 6 months. The suspect sold approximately 11,700 to 19,500 Oxycontin 80 mg pills during this time period. The street value, in Burlington, of these quantities, range from $936,000 to $1,560,000. This suspect had no property or money to show for these sales. He lived in filth with his girlfriend and their toddler. The toddler had to be taken into state custody based on the unhealthy living conditions and lack of food. The money that the suspect had in his possession was only used for resupplying the Oxycontin for personal use. These two cases are illustrative of the issues that small cities and rural police agencies face each day. Another case example related to the vast reach of crime facilitated by contemporary technology and its' impact on smaller jurisdictions comes from the following: In 1998 members of the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations (our multi-agency sex crimes task force) and the Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) arrested William Rangnow for Sexual Assault on a Minor. This multi-jurisdictional investigation revealed that Rangnow had utilized the Internet to lure a 14 year old girl to meet and engage in sexual contact. Rangnows conviction resulted in his placement on the Vermont Sexual Offender registry. In 2005, members of the VT ICAC were contacted by a Detective from Springfield Ohio who advised he had been engaged in an Internet Undercover Operation. This operation identified a suspect in Vermont who was soliciting a minor (undercover officer) for sexual contact. Investigation continued in VT and the suspect was identified as William Rangnow. Research indicated that William Rangnow had served his sentence and was on probation at the time of the new investigation. Investigation culminated in a planned meeting between Rangnow and another undercover officer he believed to be a juvenile female purported to be for sexual contact. In coordinating this meeting and arrest of Rangnow, numerous agencies including: This case highlights the highly motivated nature of online predators and the necessity for inter-agency cooperation and assistance as well as the complex and multi-jurisdictional nature of crimes involving technology. The investigation spanned from Ohio to Vermont and involved a host of resources to apprehend this dangerous offender. The current economic recession will have a significant impact on local and state funding streams that are stretched to their limit. This economic turmoil has caused concern for public safety resources because maintaining safe communities is arguably one of the key elements of economic vitality and growth for any community. Ensuring that resources exist to enable our Department, as well as Americas 18,000 law enforcement agencies and 800,000 police officers, to continue to combat crime and disorder day to day, will require a renewed commitment to historic funding streams such as Community Oriented Policing Services Program (COPS) awards and the Edward R. Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (Byrne-JAG). Without renewed assistance the current economic trend will cause already strained resources to be taxed even further and diminish hopes of continued progress. Without renewed assistance, Vermont and other areas of the nation where small cities and rural law enforcement are the first line of safety on our streets and in our downtowns will inevitably face difficulties including: As you consider how to support law enforcement operations in a way that will have a positive impact on crime control and public safety, it is important to note that policing does not exist in a vacuum. Not only are there key partners in direct community policing efforts such as community and restorative justice centers, neighborhood groups, businesses, and other stakeholders, but other critical pieces of the justice system that are essential to supporting the aftermath of successful policing efforts including prosecutors, courts, and corrections. It is essential that government at all levels provide adequate resources to these institutions as well. Federal, state, local, university and tribal law enforcement are doing all that we can to protect our communities from increasing crime rates and the specter of terrorism, but we cannot do it alone. We need the full support and assistance of the federal government. It is essential for key law enforcement programs like COPS and Byrne to be fully funded in 2009 and in the years that follow. With your help, and our commitment to a safer America, we can continue to make great strides. As we work toward economic recovery, the safety of America's communities, large and small, is a critical component to economic stability and growth. To that end, Mr. Chairman, yesterday I was heartened to see you introduce the Rural Law Enforcement Assistance Act of 2009. This proposal for $75 million in funding for hiring police officers, purchasing necessary police equipment, promoting the use of task forces and collaborative efforts with federal law enforcement, as well as prevention and treatment programs in rural communities is a necessary step to ensuring the continued success of law enforcement agencies in our small cities and rural areas. In closing, I would like to thank you Mr. Chairman and distinguished Senators, for taking testimony on this important set of issues and for your continued leadership and assistance on law enforcement matters nationwide. |

Squaw Valley lift tickets and season passes also give you access to Lake Tahoe ski resort Alpine Meadows! Squaw Valley's amazing sister mountain is just 10-minutes away, and free shuttles depart from each resort every half-hour.
Visit Alpine MeadowsPoorly tuned gear can tamper with even the best Lake Tahoe ski day: If the snow is a little slick, you want to make sure your edges are sharp enough to hold your turns, and if the snow is fresh, a waxed base can help your skis glide more easily.
Squaw Valley is called the Spring Skiing Capital for a reason--actually, several reasons. There's the sparkling California sunshine, epic Lake Tahoe views, perfect ski conditions (including excellent corn), and of course lots of vertical to take it all in. And now, believe it or not, it's nearly time for Spring Break.
Sometimes the word, "Renaissance" conjures images of Italy or the works of da Vinci and Michelangelo. But Squaw Valley has also recently experienced its own burst of advancements, which also paint a pretty formidable picture.
Valentine's Day can mean more than just flowers and chocolate. According to a recent survey conducted by American Express, six million men were planning to propose this year. Are you one of those happy couples?
If so, first: Congratulations!
Ahh…the holidays. A time where we put the trees we planted outside, inside. We hang fancy, embroidered socks above the fireplace (or on the wall, when you pretend to have a fireplace – thank you fireplace app).
If adventure is your passion and you can't say no to thrill, you have come to the right place! Gliding through the blanketed peaks of Squaw Valley will be an experience that you are going to remember for years to come.
I don't mean your pick-up line. This isn't a "Hey, baby, what's your sign?" kind of line. I mean YOUR line. The line that, when you rip it, you feel like you own the world.
Avoid the chaos that Wal-Mart will be provoking indefinitely and head for hills, literally. Better yet, skip Black Friday all together and do your holiday shopping this Saturday at good ol' Squaw Valley during the Winter Holiday Village Preview. That's what we in the biz like to call White Saturday.
It's a beautiful crisp morning in Squaw Valley with lots of sun and fresh snow on the ground. The mountain picked up 2 feet of snow Thursday through Saturday and the snow guns are still firing on Red Dog as of this morning.
We wanted to know why you love Squaw Valley or Alpine Meadows and you gave us some great, creative answers. Below are our Steep. Deep. Tweet. Twitter contest finalists and winner.

JUST WATCHED BUSH'S SPEECH FROM THE ABRAHAM LINCOLN: I'm not crazy about it. The speech was actually good, stressing the changes in warfare that technology has brought ("the guilty have far more to fear from war than the innocent" was a good line, and so was "men and women need liberty like they need food and air"), and the setting was fine: he was telling these guys what they've been fighting for, which is a President's job. Overall, a better-than-average performance.
The jet-pilot arrival, on the other hand, rang false. The whole leader-who-flies-jets thing seems, somehow, Third World to me. People say that it'll make great campaign footage in 2004, but I actually doubt it -- or at least, I think it will backfire if they do too much of this. The President is commander-in-chief, but he's a civilian leader, and Americans want him to be one.
UPDATE: A lot of email in response to this post already. Most readers seem to disagree with me:
The jet landing didn't ring hollow at all to me. On the contrary: if a 33-year-old man may be permitted to use this phrase, it was cool. Why? Well, why not? There was nothing false about it, because a carrier landing is no walk in the park. But I don't think it was a stunt. Bush is a piolt, and I'm sure he loved getting behind the controls for a brief moment - it was an expression of who Bush is, not a PR stunt.

Well, that's not my impression. I'll be interested to see how it shakes out. Donald Sensing has a transcript of the speech.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Okay, Jeff Jarvis thinks I'm wrong, too. Well, hell, maybe I am. But I still didn't like the jet-pilot thing. But reader Gavin Kirk says:
I read your analysis of Bush landing on the U.S.S Lincoln opining it was "too third world". I think you miss what I saw. I saw a guy having some fun after what must have been 3 hellish months of tension as he navigated our country through war. My initial reaction was not all that different from yours, but as I saw him eagerly walk the flight deck shaking hands and having his photo taken I saw a smile on him that I had not seen for a while. That made me feel good.
I'm getting a lot of mail like this, for whatever it's worth. And another reader suggests that it was sending a message:
The landing thing was supposed to be third world, its for Al Jazeera and Co. Bush is remembering to talk to the rest of the world here, its his bit for those that don't dig the nuances of 1st world foreign policy. Quick translation: I'm the "swingingest" alpha male on the block, all that stuff about American cowardice by Al Queda, et al was as accurate as Bagdad Bob's press conferences.
Interesting take.
YET ANOTHER UPDATE: Sheesh, everybody so far thinks I'm wrong about this. I still say that this is right out, though.
MORE: Well, Andrew Sullivan agrees. So does N.Z. Bear. Bill Quick, though, thinks I've got things backwards.
YET MORE: Now Sullivan says he's getting hatemail over agreeing with me from people who call him anti-Bush and anti-American. I didn't really get any email that took quite that harsh a tone (the closest was "you don't get it because you're a professor," which is dumb, but not terribly mean).
Nick Denton emails that this is the kind of thing you can expect from a country that elects ex-generals as President. But that's actually my point: when Eisenhower was President, he made it very clear that he was an ex-General. I don't object to Bush's taking a ride on a jet, which I'd do too if I could. And I'm sure that the troops love it. It's the blurring of the lines that bothers me here. The President is the civilian commander-in-chief of the military, not a part of the military himself. (Clinton, you may recall, tried to argue otherwise in order to use the Soldiers and Sailors' Civil Relief Act to stall off the Paula Jones suit, and was quite properly laughed out of court.) Yeah, it's not a big deal -- but it will be if he does it very often.

There is more than one way to reduce a deficit…
There was a letter published in the Daily Telegraph today (here), in which 35 business leaders gave their support to George Osborne's plans to cut spending. They say that extending the time it takes to reduce the deficit (and by extension the debt) will cause greater suffering for the country. A couple of names of the corporations made me think it could be worth having a quick Google to see the type of people who were so adamant in their support of the country, and the urgency in reducing the country's debts.
Two things make up a deficit - the amount of money that the country is spending, and the amount that the country has coming in. Guess what? It doesn't look like some of these companies are too keen on the second part of this.
Asda campaigned against a crackdown on a tax loophole allowing builders to be "self-employed" while working for one company (here), paid some of their top earners early to allow them to avoid the 50% tax rate (here), paid £115m to the authorities after over-paying royalties to Wal-Mart (here). It appears that Asda pays tax around the 18% mark (here).
Kingfisher has threatened to move its headquarters overseas, citing the UK's tax regime, one of the most friendly to corporations in Europe (here). The Guardian's tax database suggests that they paid 20% tax on their profits (here).
Towergate is involved in 'tax efficiencies', running seminars which deal with "Tax efficient cash/profit extraction and remuneration strategies for senior business personnel and high earners - leading to significant reductions in taxation" (here).
TalkTalk campaigned against the 50p a month broadband levy, claiming that it would force 100,000 people to give up their broadband lines as the increase would not be affordable in these times. The company then increased line rentals by 55p a month (here).
Microsoft channels a large amount of it's international business through Ireland. In 2007, they paid €460k tax on profits of €1.6bn - 0.04% (here).
GlaxoSmithKline has transferred intellectual property to low-tax regimes such as Puetro Rico and Ireland, with companies in higher tax countries paying licensing fees (here and here). Paid $3.4bn tax settlement to the American tax authorities (here). Threatened to move investment from the UK over tax (here).
Alliance Boots was taken over by a private equity firm in 2007. In the prior year the company paid £131m tax on £455m profit. Following the take over, the firm's profits were offset against finance charges. The headquarters has moved from Nottingham to the tax haven of Zug in Switzerland (here).
Diageo have moved a number of their brands from the UK to the more tax efficient Netherlands. The manufacturing facilities remain in the UK, but the ownership and profit now appear to reside in the Netherlands (here).
This is from a quick couple of Google and news site searches per company, with next to nothing in the way of investigation. I would suggest the Guardian's Tax Gap series, and the Tax Research blog as reading material.
As well as these details on the companies, it would appear that a number of these concerned businessmen may be non-domiciles rather than full UK taxpayers. While the activities of the companies may not be illegal, I would suggest that it is more than slightly hypocritical to demand the swift reduction of the UK's deficit while trying to pay the bare minimum in the way of tax. Following the spirit of the law, rather than the letter of the law.

Drug Safety: I don't drink or do drugs, so I don't really know anything about it.
Transportation: The VTA lightrail is blocks away from SJSU, so if you're coming from the other side of the campus (like me), you have to walk 10 blocks to the lightrail.
Academics: Impacted program. Hard to get classes and the classes are pretty hard also.
Campus Housing: I don't live on campus
Diversity: SJSU is a diverse school, so there's no judgement on sexuality or ethnicity.
Computers: There's tons of computer labs. Our wifi is pretty strong also. A lot of students bring their own laptops to take notes on.
Off-Campus Dining: It's okay. Nothing too special.
Greek Life: I personally don't see a point in Greek life, since all I hear about is how they party. I know there's a small handful who actually do community service events, but besides that, I don't see anything else. And I know there are some Greeks who live in the houses, but there are also some who live in the dorms.
Nightlife: I don't dorm at school, so I don't know.
Campus Strictness: I don't really see anyone acting out of the ordinary-- so I don't see university police in action. I do know that parking enforcement is very strict.
Scholarships: It's just a lot of paper work and during financial aid season, there's always a long wait.
Majors: Business is very impacted, so it's hard to get classes. For myself, I hardly got into any of my classes. For admission (if you're a freshman) you should definitely choose the earliest registration/freshman orientation date. During orientation, you basically get first pick for classes. So it's best to choose the earliest date-- getting the later dates gives you a higher chance of not getting your classes.
Majors: I never had an internship.
Weather: The weather is beautiful but on the cooler side. It doesn't get too freezing but cold enough to wear a sweater and scarf to school. Even when it is cold it is almost always sunny.
Off-Campus Dining: There are so many places in downtown San Jose to eat. There is everything from burritos, burgers, pizza, indian food, chinese food, vegan food, italian food, sandwich shops, hawaiian bbq and so much more. Prices are fairly low and many places offer a student discount.
Nightlife: I don't live in San Jose so I don't come party too often. It can be pretty fun though, especially if you go out to Downtown San Jose
Athletics: I am unsure since I don't engage in athletics at school.
Transportation: There are many options! Bus, light rail, etc. And VTA services are free for SJSU students so take advantage of that!
Drug Safety: I am unsure since I do not engage in such activities.
Academics: There are some excellent professors and programs here at SJSU. However, the registration process is terrible. Unless you are a junior or senior you will have a hard time trying to add classes you need.
Local Atmosphere: There's a lot to do around San Jose, especially with the diverse restaurant selections!
Campus Strictness: It's hard to judge since I am a commuter. For the most part it seems pretty lenient.
Greek Life: I've heard many stories about hazing. ):
Off-Campus Dining: It's very diverse! Lots of options to choose from.
Campus Housing: It depends on where you live. If you live in the new suites its great!
