It was a honor to meet this humble man at his return to Danville celebration last weekend. I wish he could pilot all my flights from now on. Thank you to Sully for his gift of calmness under pressure and the saving of 155 lives. He is truly a hero.

I'm thrilled that Sully and his crew are getting continued recognition. They deserve it and they should all be remembered AND celebrated for their efforts.

New Dorff Concerto and Rare Electric StringsPosted by Jeffrey Biegel in Uncategorized
I am in Gadsden, AL this weekend to premiere Daniel Dorff's delightful Piano Concerto with the ever-resourceful Maestro Mike Gagliardo and his Etowah Youth Symphony. Some know Daniel as a composer of wonderful music, or as Head of Publications at Theodore Presser Inc.The youngsters play their hearts out, and last night, we were treated to a special concert featuring an Electric Strings ensemble made up of members of the Etowah Youth Symphony. These beautiful instruments are made by the amazing Mark Wood, a founding member and artist with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I was amazed! The sounds Mark is able to get from his electric violin was astounding–much more than saying it is like an electric guitar with a bow–it's very special. Youth orchestras should seek him out for a special guest visit. The kids were terrific and he enjoyed working with them immensely.

Exclusive: "Just Because I Released My First Girly Dance Track Doesn't Mean I Can't Spit"
Friday, Aug 19, 2011 5:20PM
With the recent release of her "You Can Dance" single circulating online, SOHH hit up model-turned-rapper/singer Miss Tila about the story behind her record.
In light of the summer bringing its annual heat, Tila felt this track fit the temperature.
"'You Can Dance' is a song I felt was for the summertime," Tila told SOHH. "I'm very much in love with summer. I even have a tattoo on the back of my neck that says, 'Summer Love.' And I just felt like this is a really fun summer anthem where everybody gets out there and dances. If you have problems, because I know a lot of people out there have problems and broken hearts, so it's like, 'Hey, the best remedy is to go out there with your friends and have fun.' Enjoy life because life is short." (SOHH)
Asked who she would snatch up to remix the track, Tila said her top picks easily go to rap stars Kanye West and Nicki Minaj.
"I think it would be really hot to have Nicki Minaj and Kanye West on 'You Can Dance,'" Tild added. "I've had hip-hop tracks released before too previously with 'I Love My DJ' and all of that stuff. I started out with punk bands and then I did a lot of hip-hop songs so I think Kanye and Nicki with my style would be great. We all have very distinct voices when we rap and so I think that would be a super hot track with me, Kanye and Nicki on the same record. Just listening to me doing a 16 and them doing 16's. We all have our distinct voices and styles so hearing all of us, I think that would be hot. Just because I released my first girly dance track doesn't mean I can't spit. I can still spit but you know, it's just fun to switch things up. That's the fun part about being an independent artist because I can do whatever I want." (SOHH)
Tila's new single focuses on living a stress-free life.
Cause you can dance can dance your life away/Cause you can dance can dance not think about tomorrow/Cause you can dance can dance don't be afraid/Cause to be free you need to dance away your sorrow/You got secrets that you hide underneath your smile/No one knows your feelings he's got lovers in disguise/You wrapped around his lies it's your heart that's breaking/Oh I've been there before yes I know that it hurts/But it's time to let go/Tonight let's strip of your past/Get naked at last/And we all know" ("You Can Dance")
The track is currently available via iTunes and Amazon.
Tila Nguyen aka Tila Tequila and aka Miss Tila has a tendency to pop up every now and then, making sure she never fully leaves the public eye. Her latest is a single called "You Can Dance" and is her foray into the world of club dance music. As she continues to experiment with various music genres, this may actually be one of her more catchier efforts. You can check it out for yourself after the break. If you'd like to part with a dollar then the song is already available on iTunes & AmazonMP3. (A-Tunes)

Just recently, a hiker found a stash of old bottles while camping in the woods near Whiteface Mountain.
All of them were clear glass and about 4-1/2 inches long. Three were nondescript, but one was embossed with the words "Renee's Magic Oil."
What the hiker had stumbled upon were patent medicine bottles dating to the early 20th century. The age of the bottles was determined by the fact that they were clear glass, rather than pale blue, the color of bottles made during the mid- to late 1800s.
Although they were worth only a few dollars, the bottles were rich in history. "Renne's Magic Oil" was concocted in 1874 by William Renne of Pittsfield, Mass. In 1877, Renne sold his patented formula to the Herrick Medicine Company of New York City. The remedy was marketed well into the 1930s, with an advertising slogan that proclaimed: "Try Renne's Magic Pain Killing Oil — It Works Like a Charm!"
Patent medicines have been around for hundreds of years. They originated in England and first came to America with the early colonists.
Throughout the 1700s, English medicines were sold through postmasters, goldsmiths and other reputable merchants. However, imports ceased with the Revolutionary War, and from that time forward, American entrepreneurs began to develop similar remedies.
Most of the medications were homemade formulas using vegetable and herb extracts laced with alcohol, bitters and other ingredients. (Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a good example.) But as time went on, poisons like strychnine and addictive drugs such as cocaine, opium, morphine and heroin were added for their pain-killing effects. Medicines such as Cocaine Toothache Drops, Vapor-OL Treatment No. 6 (with alcohol and opium), Bayer Heroin, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup (with morphine) and even Coca-Cola were legal and readily available.
Unfortunately, these laced "medications" did more harm than good. By the time the 20th century dawned, there was a great outcry against the dangers of these miracle "cures." Alcohol and drug addiction were rampant, and many children had died from overdose in the arms of their trusting mothers.

Grief can trigger madness, but does it excuse killing?
Originally published: Feb 13, 2013 - 1:37 pm
This is a moral dilemma.
Back on Dec. 7, David Barajas and his two sons were pushing his disabled pickup truck toward their house outside of Houston. Barajas' two youngest children were in the cab with their mother.
They were 50 yards from home when a suspected drunk driver plowed into the back of the truck. Barajas' 12-year-old son, David, Jr., was killed immediately. Caleb, 11, later died at the hospital.
According to police and witnesses, in the moments after the crash, Barajas walked into his home and came out with a gun. He then walked over to Jose Banda's car and shot him in the head, killing him.
This week Barajas has been charged with murder in Brazoria County.
But isn't there a primal instinct that says he was justified? Perhaps, but we do have to allow the judicial process to play out. Barajas took another man's life. Maybe he'll be found guilty, maybe he won't be. If he is, he could face the death penalty in Texas. Therein lies the moral dilemma.
Think about it. He lost his two sons. His reaction was to take the life of the person responsbile. I'm not sure if Barajas knew Banda was drunk. I doubt that mattered to him -- his sons mattered to him. At the same time Banda's mother lost her son too.
The dead man's aunt told a Texas TV station, "It was an accident. He didn't purposely do that. Whoever did it is getting away with murdering my nephew. He deserves justice."
Honestly, I'm not sure what I would do in this situation but I'm leaning towards a guilty verdict with a pretty light sentence.
If you were on that jury, what would you do? There doesn't seem to be a clear right or a clear wrong answer in this case.

On the road to the virtual desktop
Windows application virtualization and streaming solutions from Microsoft, Symantec, and Thinstall are laying the groundwork for a subscription-based, click 'n' run future. Imagining the possibilities, we put them through a simple SaaS performance test
SoftGrid, by contrast, is a product in transition. The old bits are getting stale, but that's to be expected for a code base that is in the process of being strip mined. Expect to see pieces of SoftGrid technology popping up all over Microsoft's product line with the end game of delivering an on-demand platform from which the company can distribute most of its wares. In the meantime, the product that was Softricity's crown jewel is now available as a freebie for Microsoft's most loyal customers. These shops will want to take advantage of the opportunity to kick SoftGrid's tires and to prepare for what will doubtless be a major push by Microsoft to seed its version of application virtualization throughout the enterprise computing landscape.
The odd man out in the trio is Thinstall. Thinstall's integrated Virtual Operating System is still a technical marvel. Where else can you find so much muscle crammed into a 300K file header? However, the company's lack of progress in building out the management and delivery mechanisms has left Thinstall looking more and more like a one-trick pony. Those lingering deployment issues -- no caching, SMB-only streaming -- need to be addressed immediately, while the more visionary elements of the Thinstall executive team must start painting a bigger picture before enterprise customers lose interest. Perhaps the best case would be if Thinstall were acquired by a larger player (IBM and HP come to mind) who can help them weave their innovative virtualization tool into a cohesive delivery and management framework to counter those of Microsoft and Symantec.

About the Authorben - passiontolive
bvenzke Alexandria, VA, US
Ben first picked up a camera to shoot a Depeche Mode concert in the late 1980s. Working with an unfamiliar camera he managed to strip every roll of film off their rolls. This unfortunate experience was repeated at a Jane's Addiction concert not long after. Reeling from these experiences, he ultimately ended up spending more time managing photographers for the magazines he was publishing then shooting himself. It wasn't until 2003, when after picking up a new digital SLR, that something clicked and he found his creative eye. Shooting more than 50,000 photos in the following 16 months, he merged his love of raw passion, intensity and other creative professionals such as DJs, musicians, performers and others into the passiontolive collections that exist today. As of Summer 2007, these collections feature more than 4,000 finished photographs celebrating a range of unknown and known subjects, including Grammy award-winning DJs Deep Dish, Thievery Corporation, Cirque du Soleil and more.

Lt. Justin Sigmon of the Franklin Co. Sheriff's Office says a man is in custody, charged with attempted murder after firing at two deputies.
Sunday evening around 6 p.m., police responded to a 911 call. A neighbor said Davis was driving through their yard. When the two officers arrived, Lt. Sigmon says Davis was walking away from a burning tractor near on his own property. He was carrying a gun. When Davis saw the officers C.T. Mayo and J.D. Hylton, he fired one shot at them. Neither officer was hit.
The officers arrested Davis, and he's being held in Western Virginia Regional Jail, charged with attempted murder.

Putting DNA from arrestees into databanks also exposes more innocent people to the risk of false accusation or conviction. Interpretation of DNA evidence from known offenders is straightforward, but crime scene samples often require subjective judgments that may lead to errors. What is more, cross-contamination and accidental sample switches have occurred in labs across the country. In one case in Nevada, a man spent four years in jail because an analyst accidentally switched his sample. In three more cases, erroneous DNA testing led to wrongful convictions that were overturned by subsequent DNA tests. A 2009 National Academy of Science report criticized the current lack of quality control in the forensic testing system. But improvement seems less likely if crime labs are inundated with DNA from arrestees. The FBI has also opposed confidential access for researchers who could independently assess government assertions about the accuracy of DNA databases.
In addition, arrestee testing exacerbates the racial disparities in DNA databases. Because African-Americans and Hispanics make up a disproportionate share of convicts, they are overrepresented in databases. Racial disparities in arrest rates, particularly for minor crimes like drug possession, can be even starker. Allowing states to bank DNA of arrestees will mean including disproportionate amounts of genetic information from African-Americans and Hispanics as compared to other groups.
King's case may seem like a poster-child for DNA database expansion, because his sample closed a serious unsolved case. But there is more to the story. King had at least six prior convictions at the time of his sentencing for the shotgun offense. A state law limited to taking DNA from convicted offenders could have authorized his testing. The same is true of dozens of other arrestee DNA "success stories."
That suggests that the line between arrest and conviction is the right place to locate the constitutional limit on the government's unending appetite for collecting our DNA. If the Supreme Court approves Maryland's law, then DNA samples will be routinely taken from people upon arrest just like fingerprints. Unlike fingerprints, however, the DNA samples will be used not to identify people, but to forever implicate them as one of the "usual suspects." Also unlike fingerprints, DNA samples convey a lot of information, like your sex, what you look like, whether you are adopted, or how old you might be. Some states have even decided, without judicial approval or new laws, to use DNA databases to find not only people in the database, but also their family members. And as technology evolves, who knows what is next? What we know now is that no good evidence shows that taking from DNA from arrestees helps to solve crimes in any meaningful way. We also know the cost to liberty and privacy. That's the tradeoff the Supreme Court should weigh.

Better communication key to keeping children safe, says Oxfordshire County Council review
Updated 8:15am Monday 5th May 2014 in News By Damian Fantato, Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429
BETTER communication with councillors is among recommendations in a review of Oxfordshire County Council's policies for keeping children safe from abuse.
The council's director for children, education and families, Jim Leivers, should consider better communication, said the report drawn up by an advisory group of seven councillors, chaired by the cabinet member for children, education and families, Melinda Tilley.
A training session on the issue for councillors and twice-yearly briefings from the Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children Board are also recommended.
Last year, seven men arrested by Thames Valley Police during its Operation Bullfinch investigation were jailed for a total 95 years for grooming and abusing girls who were in care.
The review examined issues like the council's legal duties and the current procedures for protecting children.
Mrs Tilley said: "These recommendations are intended to complement and strengthen existing arrangements, rather than replace or subsume them."
The report's recommendations will be discussed by the cabinet at County Hall in Oxford at 2pm on Tuesday next week.

By FOX 2 News Staff
(WJBK) -- A disgruntled father really wanted to let his adult children know how disappointed he is in them. Nick Crews wrote his kids a lengthy email detailing what a letdown their lives have been for him and his wife.The 67-year-old retired English Naval Captain says he's fed up with watching his wife listen to his children vent about their problems. His biggest gripes: failed marriages and dead-end jobs. Here's an excerpt from the e-mail: "I can now tell you that I for one have had enough of being forced to live through the never-ending bad dream of our children's underachievement and domestic ineptitude's. I want to hear no more from you until you have a success or an achievement or a realistic plan for the support and happiness of your children."Crews goes on to say "quit your whining. You've screwed up your lives and now you're going to be a letdown for my grandchildren."He suggests maybe if they had used the education he paid for to get real jobs or chosen better spouses, they wouldn't have quite so much to whine about.Click here to read the full letter.

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Shelbyville High School students Chase Jackson, Luke McConnell, and Matthew White participated in "Flight B" of the competition with 81 total competitors on April 12 in the Midwest Technical Institute Welding Contest.
The top ten are recognized with the top three receiving cash prizes. Matthew White placed 10th.
The competition involved a written test, reading a blueprint with dimensions, welding symbols and welding processes. The competitors then used the blueprint to build the required project to specifications. The welding processes used were SMAW commonly referred to as "Stick" welding and SMAW commonly referred to as "Mig" welding.
"The main purpose for the competition is to learn the expectations in the field of welding. It also gives our students a chance to visit a technical school in the area," said instructor Greg Reynolds. "All three students performed well and represented our community, school, and the welding program in a professional manner. This was our second year to compete."

Arrrest and Disbarment of Dem. Joseph Morrisey,
Based upon the recent actions of Democratic Delegate Joseph Morrissey of Henrico,VA. Who was brandishing an AK-47 Assault rifle with his thumb inside the trigger guard on the hosue floor of the Virginia legislature, and as past convicted felon and previously found guilty in 2002 of committing a vicious 1999 assault, was sanctioned for legal misconduct while prosecuting a rape case, spent six months in jail for contempt of a federal court, and saw his law license revoked in 2003 As a previous Felon is it unlawful for him to own, carry, or even posess ANY and all firearms. He is in violation of both Virginia and Federal statutes banning anyone with a history of violent crimes from posessing or brandishing any firearms. Therefore I call upon the law abiding citizens and lawful gun owners of Virginia to demand that Dem. Delegate Joseph Morrisey be indited, arrested, and disbarred from the practice of law in the state of Virginia. Also, that Mr. Morrisey's aquaintence who provided him with such weapon, also be charged in aiding a known violent felony to gain posession of a firearm. The law must be equal for all. If an average citizen of Virginia who was a previously convicted violent felon, he or she would be arrested at once by any lawful police officer. Mr Morrisey is NOT above the law even if he holds a J.D. degree. His right to practice law was revoked previously for his actions. Yet he continues to show our society and our law makers in Richmond he is unfit to perform the duties of his elected office.

Oprah Winfrey's former stepmother has been given 60 days to vacate her Franklin home because she refuses to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Oprah purchased the $1.4 million home in the LaurelBrooke subdivision off Sneed Road for Barbara and Vernon Winfrey after the two married in 2001.
The couple divorced last year after Vernon filed for divorce in 2012.
As part of the divorce agreement, Barbara was offered a home in Davidson County as long as she signed a confidentiality agreement about Oprah.
Barbara, however, has refused to sign it.
"She knows I know the story," Barbara said. "And to set me out now, why shouldn't I just tell my story?"
She continued, "You're a billionaire. God blessed you to be a billionaire and this is what you do? [This home] it's where I lived for 13 years. That's where my memories are.
On Monday, a spokesperson for Oprah Winfrey sent News 2 a statement regarding the property dispute that read, "As part of the divorce proceedings, Barbara Winfrey was offered the Chateaue Valley home free and clear to live with her family and she chose not to accept it.

Virginia Tech's men's soccer team pulled off a big upset Saturday night.
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
A great week for women's soccer is next on the list.
It's time to move on from Gobbler Country to pursue my true passion: Virginia Tech women's soccer recruiting.
The Hokies women's soccer team is making its first ever appearance in the Sweet 16.
Saturday's game features a battle of two quarterbacks who played their high school football in Virginia.
Week 11 didn't settle much in college football, but we saw some good games. At Virginia Tech, the men's basketball team opened with a win and the women's soccer team advanced to the Sweet 16.
Kelly Conheeney scored an overtime goal that lifted Virginia Tech's women's soccer team to a 1-0 win over No. 10 Wake Forest Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament. The Hokies will face No. 6 Florida State at 5 p.m. EST Friday in Cary, NC, in the semifinals. The game can be seen on ACC Select.
Someone needs to send me a better title for these extremely lazy and lame links-only posts. The winner gets the beverage of their choosing at the Alabama game. Linkage Hokies - Hokies have the t...
Hokies were 5-13-1 (0-8) last year. You'll have two chances this season to catch football and futbol in the same weekend: Sept. 11 - Soccer vs. South Florida Sept. 12 - Football vs. Marshall Sept. 13 - Soccer vs. East Tennessee State Sept. 26 - Football vs. Miami Sept. 27 - Soccer vs. NC State

When I tried to reset password for user using PSS in AC10 it is giving a success message and also the password has changed in backend system but no mail is being sent with the password to the end user.I am not even able to trace the mail through SCOT as these mails don't use SCOT for sending mails.
For all other Access requests mails are being sent perfectly fine.I am on SP7 and the same works on my Dev system and I checked all the config between both systems and they look the same.
I am really stuck trying to troubleshoot this issue,any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Hi Uday,
Note 1668187 - UAM: In Password Self-Service Mail is not generated
See if the above note helps.
Thanks for the reply Ajesh.I already checked this note and it was already implemented in my system.
This is what is bugging me nothing seems to be working to fix this issue.I opened a note with SAP and let me see what they say.Will post back with their reply.
Hi Ajesh,
The issue was with the Maintain text for Custom Notifications.I thought I created a custom text in SE61 and updated it in SE61 but the custom text was not created so the system couldn't send the mails.Just figured it out and fixed it .
Hi Uday / Ajesh
In which system do we need to Maintain test for custom Notification through SE61. . Is it in the GRC system or backend R/3 system??
Note 1668187 - UAM: In Password Self-Service Mail is not generated
As per this SAP-Note..
1).Login to SAP R/3 system.
2).Go to transaction SE91.
3).Enter Message Class name as "GRAC_WF_REQUEST".
4).Click on change button.
5). Scroll to the last message.
6).Enter message number and text mentioned below.
720 Password reset failed: no valid Email-id maintained for user id
7).Click on "SAVE" button.
Do we need to work on SE61 and also SE91 (Backend R/3 system as per Note).. What is the link between these two?
Currently we are on GRC10 SP06,am also facing same issue ..PSS Emails not generated..
Please suggest how to go with this.
Hi Ravi,
We need to set them up in SE61 of GRC system.SE61 is not used unless you are planning to change the mail text which go out to users.If you haven't touched SE61 on GRC (looks like the case from above) then that wouldn't be the reason for your issue.
If you are resettng password using GRC is it actually changing the password on backend system and just not sending mail.If no then the issue would be with the config setting and RFC connection from GRC to backend.
Let us know your findings.
Hi Uday,
Thanks for the quick reply,
I would be ok with the standard text in the email notification..so i can ignore set up in SE61..
My issue is when i reset password using GRC it is actually changing the password on backend system and just not sending mail.. How to resolve this?
By implementing SAP-Note 1668187 - (UAM: In Password Self-Service Mail is not generated.) can i resolve my issue.. if so, i have a doubt ..
In the above note it is mentioned that i have to login into SAP R/3 and execute SE91 maintain "GRAC_WF_REQUEST" by adding a 720 Password reset failed: no valid Email-id maintained for user id..
When i execute SE91 in my backend SAP R/3 system i could not able to find "GRAC_WF_REQUEST"....But in GRC sytem -> SE91...this Message claas name is available..
My doubt is where should i implement this SAP-Note is it in the GRC system or SAP R/3 system..
Are there any other alternative to overcome this Email-notification issue apart from the above SAp-Note..
Connectors ,and RFC are set down as required, am geeting email notifications for Fire fighter in the same system..So, no SCOT issue.
Please suggest me.
The SE91 change needs to be done on GRC system.These are very less number of notes which need to be applied to backend/plug in systems and SAP defined them explicitly in those notes.
Hi Uday,
As suggested i have applied SAP-Note 1668187 - (UAM: In Password Self-Service Mail is not generated.) in GRc10 system.But no luck,after resetting the password user is not getting any Email notification of new password generated..(But Password got changed)
I have maintained Email address of user in SU01of both SAP R/3 and GRC system aswell..
SCOT config is perfect,user getting other Email's
Am i missing anything.....Please suggest.
Message was edited by: Ravi GRC
Hi Ravi, Did u able to resolve this ?

Ravens to try out Reggie Smith
Besides playing wide receiver, Smith doubled as one of the top kick returners at the Division II level. Smith led the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association with a 20.2 punt return average last season, returning three for touchdowns as he ranked second in the nation. POST PUBLISH NOTE: Smith played for little-known Elizabeth City State in North Carolina and grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He played QB in high school, leading his team to the state championship game. He spent two years at Grand Rapids Community College, earning awards as a kick returner. Smith wanted to transfer to Division I but didn't have the credits to do so. He returned home, spent a year away from football while going to a technical school and then resumed playing at Elizabeth City State.

The Daily Scope
The mysteries of love and sexual power are strong and forceful today. The power of the body to renew and revitalize at the vivid fire of Eros, is the central stellar theme. In what ways are you experiencing regeneration? How do you release what you no longer need in order to grow?
The Week of April 1st - 7th
This week rapturous Venus (the planet of Love) will rendezvous with forceful Mars (the planet of War). Challenge, chase, and conquest are their courtship, their cri de coeur "All's fair in love and war."
No delicate pastel-hued week for us, spring's fancy turns to fire. The stars predict a pandemic of red-hot spring fever; the symptoms: scorching sexuality, passionate desire, a hunger for undying love. There is no cure for this fever—it needs to run its course.
The planetary provocateurs celebrate and detonate pyrotechnics when Venus and Mars are joined by the Sun, their fireworks fulminating the Fahrenheit. We revel in this, dancing with a fiery abandon and falling in love, hard and fast. Their brilliant fire incites us to dare, to dream, to love.
Misunderstood, this is the bonfire of the vainglorious; where arrogance, vanity, and selfishness smolder. But for those willing to summon the strength, take risks, and undertake a deeper knowledge of love, be prepared to witness a revelation: the golden radiance of the pure heart.

The WHISKY DETECTIVES
The vintage whisky business is big money – but the counterfeit whisky industry is even bigger. With a tremendous demand for rare vintage whiskies, the market has been flooded with fake bottles of worthless spirits. But even with all of the bogus whisky out there, collectors will go to great lengths and spend huge sums of money to obtain their coveted antique spirit. So what's a wealthy investor to do?

Many people aren't saving enough for retirement, and even those who are saw their savings take alarming dips during the recession. Now, a new report calls the traditional IRA and 401(k) plans inefficient and risky, and suggests a different kind of retirement account. The Center for American Progress calls it the "SAFE Plan". Plans would be organized as nonprofit organizations run by independent boards that include plan members.
According to Gary Burris, senior policy associate at the Economic Opportunity Institute, such SAFE Plans would use an investment strategy known as "smoothing" for less risk and more long-term stability.
"And what smoothing means is, in years when you have a high return rate, you don't put all that money back into the pool; you sort of save that, for the years when there's a low return rate," Burris said. "So that those people who are in the retirement phase of the plan aren't seeing big drops or gains in their retirement payouts."
The report also says there are too many hidden fees associated with the current crop of retirement accounts, fees that erode investors' nest eggs.
The attraction for employers is that they wouldn't have to guarantee specific returns for retirees. The report says a SAFE Plan would be run more efficiently than a traditional retirement account, so it has a better chance of achieving its growth targets. And Burris said businesses would be more likely to offer retirement plans if it cost them less to do so, which is key to getting more people to save.
"There are people who are already in plans, and there's definitely some need there to get more efficient and better returns and less cost," he said. "But the much bigger problems are the millions of people that don't have anything right now, and that's mainly the small business sector, the small-business work force."
According to the report, SAFE Plans would be available to all workers regardless of whether their employer offered retirement benefits before the plan was introduced. The sole objective of SAFE Plans would be to maximize long-term benefits for all participants.
The SAFE Plans would require approval by Congress. See a report on SAFE Retirement Plans at bit.ly/1808po2.

The University of Idaho (officially abbreviated UI, but commonly referred to as the U of I) is the U.S. state of Idaho's oldest public university located in the city of Moscow in Latah County in the northern portion of the state. UI is the state's land grant university and primary research university. It enrolls more national merit scholars than all other institutions in the state combined.[4][5] In January 2012, the university enrolled the highest number of National Merit Scholars of any school in the Northwest; more than the other institutions in the region with significantly larger enrollments.[5] The University of Idaho was the state's sole university for 71 years, until 1963, and hosts the University of Idaho College of Law, which was established in 1909, accredited by the ABA in 1925, and remained until 2012 the only law school in the state. (Concordia University School of Law opened its doors in Boise in the fall of 2012.)
The university was formed by the territorial legislature of Idaho on January 30, 1889, and opened its doors on October 3, 1892 with an initial class of 40 students. The first graduating class in 1896 contained two men and two women. The university presently has an enrollment exceeding 12,000, with over 11,000 on the Moscow campus. The university offers 142 degree programs, from accountancy to wildlife resources, including bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and specialists' degrees. Certificates of completion are offered in 30 areas of study. At 25% and 53%, its 4 and 6 year graduation rates[6] are the highest of any public university in Idaho, and it generates 74 percent of all research money in the state, with research expenditures of $100 million in 2010 alone.
As a land-grant university and the primary research university in the state, UI has the largest campus in the state (1585 acres), located in the rolling hills of the Palouse region at an elevation of 2,600 feet (790 m) above sea level.[7] The school is home to the Idaho Vandals, who compete on the Division I FBS (formerly I-A) level. The land-grant institution for the state of Washington, WSU, is located eight miles (13 km) west in Pullman and the two campuses educate a total of approximately 40,000 students. In addition to the main campus in Moscow, the UI has branch campuses in Coeur d'Alene, Boise, Twin Falls, and Idaho Falls. It also operates a research park in Post Falls [8] and dozens of extension offices statewide.

Timeline of University of Idaho
UI has one of the most scenic campuses in the western U.S.. The master plan for the UI campus was originally designed in 1908 by the Olmsted Brothers of Massachusetts, the sons of Frederick Law Olmsted; their landscape architecture firm designed the U.S. Capitol grounds, Central Park in New York City, and many other notable college campuses, particularly in the West. The Palouse region has rolling hills with rivers and lakes, with pine-covered mountains, wild rivers, hiking and skiing nearby, offering a wide variety of recreational opportunities.
According to the UI Facts Books, the Moscow campus is an 1,585 acres (6.41 km2) including 253 buildings with a replacement value of $812 million, 10 miles (16 km), 49 acres (20 ha) of parking lots, 1.22 miles (1.96 km) of bike paths, 22 computer labs, an 18-hole golf course on 150 acres (61 ha), 80 acres (32 ha) of arboreta, and 860 acres (3.5 km2) of farms.
There are several distinctive areas on campus.
Administration Building[edit]
The east-facing Administration Building, with its 80-foot (24 m) clock tower and Collegiate Gothic-style structure, was built from 1907–09 and has become an icon of the university. The building holds classrooms, an auditorium, and administrative offices, including the offices of the President and Provost. Multiple expansions were made, with the north wing added in 1912, the south wing in 1916 (extended in 1936 for the library), and the functional annex in 1950, incorporated into the Albertson addition of 2002. The UI library was housed in the Admin. building until 1957, when the Library building was completed.
The original Administration Building, with a single tall spire reaching to 163 feet (50 m), was constructed through the decade of the 1890s and ultimately finished in 1899. Unfortunately, it was reduced to embers on March 30, 1906[9][10] (photo); the cause of the fire, which began in the basement, was never precisely determined, but was likely accidental.[11] After the fire, there was debate whether to rebuild from the remains or start from scratch; the remaining structure (photo) was eventually deemed infeasible to recover and was demolished with dynamite (photo). The original building's steps were saved and currently climb the small hill immediately southeast of the south wing.
In the meantime, classes were held at various sites in Moscow; the Carnegie library, the Methodist church, and local lodge halls. Insurance policies paid $135,000, but the new building cost twice that. To appease the state legislature, the UI Regents decided to build Morrill Hall first, use it for classrooms, and finance the new administration building over three years.
The new Admin. building was designed by prominent Boise architect John E. Tourtellotte. He designed the state's Roman Revival capitol building in Boise and other buildings, both public and private. Tourtellotte modeled the new UI structure after the venerable Hampton Court Palace in England, and construction began in 1907.[12]
The 1909 Administration Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, at age 69.[13] Two years out of office, former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt spoke outside the main east entrance of the new building on April 9, 1911, on a platform built of Palouse wheat (photo).
Hello Walk[edit]
"Hello Walk" is one of the best-known and traveled pathways on the Idaho campus. But more than being surrounded by trees and grass, it navigates through a rich history of statues, landmarks and traditions. It includes Presidential Grove, where historical figures, such as Teddy Roosevelt and his wife, planted trees; the Spanish War memorial statue who had his hands cut off but reconstructed by a handless sculptor and Administration Lawn that was designed by the same brothers who designed Central Park in New York City.
The walk was named after Alfred Upham, the president of the university in the 1920s. Upham insisted on saying "hello" to all those he passed on his walk from his house — on the site now occupied by the Campus Christian Center — to his office in the Administration Building. He requested that this act of kindness be required of all students and faculty on campus, which is how the walk acquired its name.[citation needed]
Hello Walk is still used, but the hellos that used to be mandatory are now not often vocalized to strangers.[14]
Idaho Commons[edit]
The Idaho Commons, completed on January 10, 2000, is the heart of campus and contains a food court, copy center, bagel and coffee shop (Einstein's Bagels), Credit Union, and convenience store. Additionally, there is study space, wireless internet, laptop checkout, and many student services such as the offices of the Associated Students of the University of Idaho (ASUI), Academics Assistance, the University of Idaho Writing Center, and Student Support.
With the completion of the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) at the beginning of the fall semester of 2005, the second phase, the Commons gained classrooms and completed the vision of a common area where students could learn, study, relax and get university services all in one place.
Student Union Building[edit]
The Student Union Building houses Financial Aid, Admissions, New Student Services, the Registrar's Office, the office of the Graduate & Professional Student Association(GPSA) and student meeting rooms. There is also wireless access, laptops available for check-out, a student computer lab, and a movie theater. This SUB was the primary student area until the Commons was opened in 2000. The SUB was originally the Blue Bucket Inn, purchased by the UI in 1936. The UI Bookstore, built in 1989 on a former parking lot, is located directly across the street to the east, formery adjacent to the south.
ASUI-Kibbie Activity Center[edit]
UI's multi-purpose "Kibbie Dome" is the home to Vandal athletics; it is the venue for football, basketball, tennis, and indoor track & field. Its Trus-Dek roof system, constructed in 1975, uses natural wood arches to span 400 feet (122 m) at a height of 150 feet (46 m) over the field's hashmarks. Built when Idaho was a member of the Big Sky Conference, the Kibbie Dome is the smallest stadium (as of September 2013) in Division I FBS football.
Previously on this site was Neale Stadium, which opened in 1937 as an earthen horseshoe with wooden sideline grandstands. After 32 seasons, its bleachers were condemned for structural inadequacies due to erosion in the summer of 1969. After an idle 1969 football season, it was destroyed (by suspected arson) on November 22, 1969. After two years away at nearby Rogers Field in Pullman, the new outdoor "Idaho Stadium" opened on October 9, 1971, with concrete grandstands; the 1971 Vandals responded with a victory over Idaho State, an 8-3 season, and the Big Sky title.
Tartan Turf, similar to AstroTurf, was installed in 1972 with the roll-up mechanism; the arched roof and vertical end-walls were completed in time for the 1975 football home opener on September 27, enclosing the stadium to become the Kibbie Dome. The seating capacity is 16,000 for football games, 7,000 for basketball games (in a configuration known as the "Cowan Spectrum" since 2001), and 7,500 for concerts. Its innovative roof won the Outstanding Structural Engineering Achievement award from the ASCE in 1976.
The original Tartan Turf was replaced with AstroTurf in 1990 and lasted until 2007, when it was replaced with "Real Grass Pro," an infilled synthetic turf (similar to FieldTurf). In 2009, the Kibbie Dome began a multi-phase renovation with millions of dollars of improvements, primarily for safety.[15] The primary change was the entire west wall; its aged dry plywood panels were replaced with non-flammable translucent plastic (upper) and opaque aluminum (lower). New field-level exits were also installed. The east wall was replaced in 2011 and a new press box was built above the north grandstand; the former press box area above the south grandstand was converted to premium seating (Litehouse Center).
UI Golf Course[edit]
The UI Golf Course was established in 1933 on the southwest edge of campus, and opened as nine holes in 1937. It was expanded to 18 holes in 1970 and its current clubhouse was built in 1969. Due to its demanding rolling terrain and southwesterly summer winds, the par-72 course's moderate length of 6,637 yards (6,069 m) from the back tees yields a challenging slope of 135 with a scratch rating of 72.4.[16]
Arboretum and Botanical Garden[edit]
Referred to as "Tree City" or "The Arb" by UI students, the Arboretum is a 65-acre (26 ha) site adjacent to the golf course which features display gardens, ponds, and a variety of trees and plants from Asia, Europe, and North America.
The original Shattuck Arboretum was conceived in 1910 by Charles H. Shattuck, the head of the forestry department. His efforts gradually turned a treeless slope southwest of the Administration Building into a dense forest grove. The aboretum was named for Shattuck in 1933, two years after his death. Until the late 1960s, this area provided the background for left & center field of the MacLean baseball field, whose infield was displaced by the construction of the new College of Education buildings, which were completed in 1968.
The newer portion of the arboretum complex is south of the Shattuck area, in the valley below the president's residence (1967), along the eastern edge of the campus' 18-hole golf course.[17]
Student Recreation Center[edit]
Designed by NAC Architecture and opened in April 2002, the 85,000-square-foot (7,900 m2) Student Recreation Center boasts a 55-foot (17 m) freestanding climbing wall, as well as a weight training area, cardio, 6,000 square feet (557 m2) of climbing area, jogging track, and two full-size gyms. The Rec Center hours are set to meet the schedules of users including students, faculty and staff. The Student Recreation Center offers a number of wellness classes including zumba, TRX, cycling, gravity, belly dancing and yoga. The planned Phase Two of the project includes adding a swimming pool, but has been delayed due to funding problems.
The recreation center is located on the corner of Paradise Creek Street and Line Street north of the Theophilus Tower dormitory, an area which formerly housed maintenance buildings.
UI Library[edit]
The UI Library is the state's largest, with more than 1.4 million books, periodicals, government documents, maps, videorecordings, and special collections. Included are those for Sir Walter Scott, and many famous Idahoans, including Ezra Pound, Vardis Fisher, Frank Bruce Robinson, and Carol Ryrie Brink of Moscow.
Directly north of the Memorial Gymnasium and built on the former site of tennis courts, the library opened in 1957, relocating from the south wing of the Administration Building. The UI post office station was formerly housed in its lower northwest corner; it was moved to the new UI bookstore in 1990. The UI Library was expanded by 50% in the early 1990s and rededicated in 1994.
Memorial Gymnasium[edit]
The Tudor Gothic-style Memorial Gymnasium is another UI icon, known for its whimisical athletic gargoyles perched along the brick building's ledges. The multi-purpose "Mem Gym" has a modest seating capacity of only 1,500. Opened in 1928 to honor the Idaho citizens who died in World War I (1917–18), the heavily buttressed structure was designed by the chairman of the university's architecture department, David C. Lang[18]
Memorial Gym was the primary venue for men's basketball until the Kibbie Dome was enclosed in September 1975. The women's team hosted its home games in the gym until 2001, when the Cowan Spectrum (inside the Kibbie Dome) was completed. The gym is still in active use today as the home court for the women's volleyball team, and several early season basketball games. It is also used extensively for intramurals and open recreation, as well as for ROTC.[19][citation needed]
The MacLean baseball field was located directly south of the Memorial Gym, until its infield was displaced by the construction of the College of Education building in 1967. The catcher and batter faced southwest (towards the pitcher's mound); the right field line was just south of the gym, running east-west. The background of left and center field was the Shattuck Arboretum. The new baseball field (Guy Wicks Field) was relocated northwest, to the vast intramural fields near the Moscow-Pullman Highway, northwest of the Wallace Complex dormitories. The batter and catcher now faced southeast, toward campus, an unorthodox configuration resulting in a difficult sun field for the left side of the defense (the recommended alignment is east-northeast). Due to budget constraints, varsity baseball was dropped following the 1980 season,[20] but continued for a while as a club sport. MacLean was also the venue for football until the opening of Neale Stadium in 1937.
The swim center and physical education building (formerly known as the "Women's Gym"), which both opened in 1970, are adjacent to the south side of the gym.
In 1977, the Memorial Gymnasium was added to the National Register of Historic Places after only 49 years.[13]
Under the Elms[edit]
Rare Camperdown elms line the walkway between the Music building, Child Development Center and Administration Building. These "upside-down" trees have been on campus for over 80 years and are among few of their kind in the Northwest. The weeping branches and knotty trunk are formed by being grafted upwards.
Steam Plant[edit]
Built in 1926, the steam plant provides heat to UI buildings from a single location. Originally designed to burn coal, then oil, then natural gas, the plant was modified in 1986 to burn waste wood chips leftover from local sawmills. The use of wood has significantly reduced the emissions of the plant, as well as cut costs to heat the campus. The plant is shut down twice a year for cleaning and maintenance. As a side benefit of the heat generation, the steam pipes are routed underneath campus walkways and provide clean (and ice free) walkways throughout the north Idaho winter.[21]
Student housing[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (February 2012)
Student housing facilities that have students with dependent children include South Hill Apartments and South Hill Vista Apartments.[22][23] The Moscow School District serves residents. Moscow High School is the district's sole traditional high school.
Student life[edit]
UI is a rural, residential campus, with four residence hall communities to choose from on campus, as well as 27 housed fraternities and sororities. On campus residence is currently required for freshmen, and many other upperclassmen choose to live on campus in the Greek system or the residence halls.
Apartments on campus are available for families, married couples, graduate students, law students, and non-traditional students. The "Law Cluster" is a group of apartments reserved for law students, allowing for a community close to campus for law students, facilitating study groups.
All students are permitted to have cars on campus, which is also served by public transportation. The nearest airport, Pullman-Moscow Regional, is 5 miles (8.0 km) west, east of Pullman. Other nearby airports are Lewiston (34 miles (55 km) south), and Spokane International, 90 miles (140 km) north. The nearest passenger train station (Amtrak) is in Spokane, and the nearest bus station is in downtown Moscow.[citation needed]
Student organizations[edit]
Many students participate in a wide variety of clubs and organizations. Clubs range anywhere from the sports to faith based, and everything in between. Palousafest is a fair that brings clubs and students together, and is a way for students to find out more about how to get involved with extracurricular activities. The fair is usually the weekend just before the fall semester starts. The prominent literary journal Fugue is published at the university.
Fraternity and Sorority Life[edit]
The University of Idaho is home to 18 housed fraternities, 10 housed sororities, and 6 multicultural Greek organizations that make up more than 20% of the student population, and over 44% of the students who live on campus (around 1,800 students). This fraternity and sorority community is unique in that it's one of the few that allow freshmen to move in first semester as a living option, as opposed to waiting until second semester or sophomore year. This system works very well for the University and the students, with the Greeks having the highest GPA for 9 consecutive semesters as of Spring 2011.

Multicultural Greeks - 6[edit]
Moscow is a college town, with 23,800 residents as of the 2010 census.[24] It is located in the rolling hills of the Palouse region of north central Idaho.
The UI campus is adjacent to the southwest side of town; most stores, restaurants, and bars are within easy walking distance.
Degrees & Colleges[edit]
From 1896 through May 2011, the University of Idaho has granted 80,233 bachelor's degrees, 21,734 master's degrees, 2,694 doctoral degrees, 240 honorary degrees, 1,164 specialist degrees, and 3,654 law degrees.[2]
The university is organized into ten colleges; two are exclusively for graduate students (Law & Graduate Studies).
In July 2002, the College of Letters & Science was split into two separate colleges: the College of Science and the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences (CLASS). Concurrently, the College of Mines and Earth Resources was discontinued; its programs were split between the College of Engineering and the new College of Science.

Fight song[edit]
Go, Vandals, Go is the official fight song of the University of Idaho.
The song was originally written by J.M. "Morey" O'Donnell, a freshman at Idaho who later became a prominent attorney in the state. He submitted it for a contest held by the school's student government to choose a new fight song. Previously, the Vandals had used a variation of On, Wisconsin as its fight song.
Most fight songs are hard to sing because of the fast beat used to make them sound spirited. However, O'Donnell wrote the song almost entirely with whole notes and half notes to make it easy for a large football crowd to sing. He also added a heavy drumbeat to carry the spirit.
For many years, it has been cited as one of the top fight songs in the United States. For example, 2002, Norm Maves, Jr. of The (Portland) Oregonian described it as "the once and future king of college fight songs, with a fanfare lead-in that could motivate a successful infantry charge."
Go Vandals
Came a tribe from the North brave and bold,
Bearing banners of silver and gold,
Tried and true to subdue all their foes,
Go Vandals! Go mighty Vandals!
Go Vandals go,
Fight on with hearts brave and bold,
Foes will fall before your silver and your gold,
The victory cannot be withheld from thee,
So, all bear down for Idaho,
Come on old Vandals, go!
Idaho, Idaho, Go! Go! Go!
The victory cannot be withheld from thee,
So, all bear down for Idaho,
Come on old Vandals, go!
Let's go!

A federal jury reached a partial verdict Thursday in the tax evasion trial of "Dancing With The Stars" and two time Indianapolis 500 champ Helio Castroneves.
Federal Judge Donald Graham said he wouldn't immediately read the verdicts on two tax evasion counts against Castroneves.
He told jurors to continue deliberating on four other tax evasion counts and one conspiracy count.

The dean of the Indiana University School of Law at Indianapoils says the tax law is so complex jurors may have to make an emotional decision.
"It's almost a case that's going to turn on impressions and trust and who do you believe and who do you not believe, because they are not going to understand all of the details," Dean Gary Roberts told FOX 59 News.
The jurors left Thursday without taking further action at the end of their fifth day of deliberations.
Castroneves is charged with conspiring with his sister and lawyer to evade more than $2.3 million in U.S. income taxes.
The jury said it reached a partial verdict on charges against Katiucia Castroneves and a full verdict on charges against attorney Alan Miller.

The Washington State women's basketball team will be without head coach June Daugherty for tonight's Pac-12 Tournament game after she was diagnosed with acute appendicitis.
"Coach Daugherty started to experience some pain in her stomach early today, the pain then increased following this afternoon's shootaround and she began to experience appendicitis symptoms," stated WSU Team Physician Dennis Garcia in a press release. "We then took coach Daugherty to the hospital and following an evaluation, it was determined that she was suffering from an acute appendicitis. Her prognosis is excellent, she will have surgery to remove the appendix this evening, and is expected to be discharged in the morning."
The eighth-seeded Cougars face ninth-seeded Arizona State in an opening-round matchup in Seattle at 6 p.m. If Washington State advances, it will face top-seeded Stanford at 6 p.m. on Friday.
UPDATE -- 10:03 p.m.
Washington State has sent out an email saying Daugherty's surgery went well and she will stay in the hospital overnight for recovery. The surgery began around tipoff, but Daugherty is aware of the win.
