December 8, 2011
From the very first day of my incarceration, I was placed in security housing for no justifiable reason. Now, nearly 17 years later, without reprieve, I find myself still in a security housing unit in the absence of a single serious rule infraction.
November 7, 2011
About two weeks ago, the IGI (Institutional Gang Investigator) searched my cell in SHU and confiscated my Bay View newspapers, saying they are contraband if any articles speak on George Jackson or Black August. They said that the newspaper with said articles would be used to re-validate me at my six-year review. I should not be penalized for a newspaper article.
October 13, 2011
Mediators who met with hunger strike representatives at Pelican Bay confirm that prisoners there have decided to stop their hunger strike after nearly three weeks. The prisoners have cited a memo from CDCR detailing a comprehensive review of every SHU prisoner in California whose SHU sentence is related to gang validation.
October 11, 2011
With the second phase of a massive California prisoner hunger strike in its third week, prisoners have begun to report grave medical issues. Prisoners at Corcoran have stated, "Due to what they have done here to us, some men have stopped drinking water completely, so we may well be close to death in a few days."
August 4, 2011
How well indeed the creator saw fit to have the Muslim population worldwide join the hunger strike started by brothers in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) at Pelican Bay July 1, which continues in other California prisons, including I heard at the Central California Women's Facility (CCWF).
July 19, 2011
At least 400 prisoners at Pelican Bay continue to refuse food and thousands more around the state are striking in solidarity, making it the largest hunger strike in the history of the embattled California prison system. "We are urging our state representatives and Gov. Brown to step in and force the CDCR to recognize the prisoners' demands," says Manuel La Fontaine.
July 15, 2011
With the Pelican Bay prison hunger strike entering its third week, mediators reported Thursday that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has responded to pressure from strikers and outside supporters, beginning initial negotiations with strike leaders in the prison's Security Housing Unit, along with an outside mediation team. Some of the strikers' health has deteriorated to near-fatal levels. Many fear that time is running out.
July 10, 2011
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation reports that as of Friday, July 8, at least 6,600 prisoners in at least 13 of the state's prisons have joined the hunger strike initiated at Pelican Bay on July 1. Push the state to negotiate with prisoners at Pelican Bay and immediately implement their demands.
July 3, 2011
Ask anyone who has ever been on a hunger strike; the process of intentionally starving oneself is a very painful ordeal. And yet, there are places on this planet where the idea of death is preferable to continuing down a path that offers no hope or relief from suffering. I live in such a place; I know.
July 2, 2011
As Americans prepare to celebrate Independence Day, inmates in solitary confinement at California's Pelican Bay State Prison are standing up for their rights in the only way they can – by going on a hunger strike.
June 3, 2011
This is a call for all prisoners in security housing units, administrative segregation, and general populations, as well as the free oppressed and non-oppressed people, to support the indefinite July 1 peaceful hunger strike in protest of the violation of our civil and human rights here at Pelican Bay State Prison Security Housing Unit.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Local deputies have a man and two teens in custody for a string of armed robberies in both North and South Carolina.
Earlier Tuesday morning, York County Deputies arrested 20-year-old Dyquane Billings and 16-year-olds Trevante Bryant and Tevin Hindmon
Investigators believe they're behind eight armed robberies in York, Lancaster and Mecklenburg Counties.
The arrests come after two early Tuesday morning robberies.
Officials say the three robbed a Circle K store on Selwyn Avenue in Charlotte around 2:45am then they made their way south.
About an hour later deputies say a clerk at the Kangaroo Express on Highway 21 in Fort Mill saw a man behind the register taking cash. The clerk then chased the man out of the store.
Officials say a deputy en route to the robbery spotted a car that matched the description of the suspect's vehicle.
Moments later a patrol Sergeant spotted the same vehicle on Gold Hill Road in Fort Mill turning on I-77.
Deputies conducted a felony traffic stop, found what appeared to be a black semi-automatic pistol from the passenger seat and arrested the three suspects.
"It's good to get them off the street now before they decided the next clerk wasn't going to cooperate with them and whatever could have happened," said York County Sheriff's Office Spokesperson Trent Faris.
Officials say the three began their string of robberies last Monday when they hit the Quick Trip on North Anderson Road in Rock Hill.
Deputies say the three hit another Quick Trip in Indian Land the following night, another Quick Trip in Lake Wylie then the same Quick Trip in Indian Land again later in the week.
After those four stores were robbed, officials say the three hit a Sunoco and BP in Fort Mill and then the two stores from Tuesday morning.
All three suspects remain in jail as of Tuesday night and the two 16-year-olds will be charged as adults.
The suspects face armed robbery charges and officials say there are more charges pending.
Investigators are still searching for a motive.

However, it could also be generated from nucleotide addition of U to the terminus of the read with 21 nucleotides, which lengthens the read by one nucleotide.

I wish more people would realize that when ONE American's rights are taken away, compromised, or violated...it affects ALL of us, and we ALL should be outraged about it, regardless if it affects us personally.
I do not believe in abortion, but I also believe I have no right to force that view on anyone else. I do think its insane that men are not allowed to challenge it because Legally woman create life, scientifically they play a role with chromosomes but the egg is more of an incubator for a mans sperm.
I think that a compromise needs to be reached, have a registry every woman's social security number is in it. Then they are entitled to 1 abortion no questions asked anything after that has to be approved by a medical board and out of their own pocket.
The hard thing for me is republicans are against it but then complain when mothers are on food stamps. So they want to force mothers to have kids but then get mad when they need social programs to raise it.

I have always told my wife, it's your decision 100%. I have no input in it because I am not the one who has to carry it 9 months.
Here is the question of the day, does anyone think that wealthy people should pay a lower percentage of their income to taxes than middle class people? Don't argue tax brackets, just a simple question. Do you think someone earning 46 million dollars should pay a lower percentage of their income than say someone earning sixty thousand?

b/c the pregnancy is the result of your actions and hers. also the birth of a child would dramatically change both your and her life until the day you both die- likely a bit more then 9 months. yes she has to carry the baby and you don't. maybe your wife should have the final decision but you certainly should have input
I against Abortion i believe their is no excuse to end a life.

"Our actuarial modeling of more than 130 employee benefit plans
shows that last year's health reform law imposes additional costs on
employers' health plans. The study also shows that the law will create
a financial incentive for some employers to terminate health benefit
plans in 2014 when new Insurance Exchanges take effect."
"In 2009, using a PPACA-adjusted MLR
definition, we estimated that 29% of insurer-state
observations in the individual market would have
MLRs below the 80% minimum, corresponding to
32% of total enrollment. Nine states would have
at least one-half of their health insurers below the
threshold. If insurers below the MLR threshold
exit the market, major coverage disruption could
occur for those in poor health; we estimated
the range to be between 104,624 and 158,736

arrangements have many
flaws, but we should not lose
sight of the many blessings

sobriety and less partisanship than has been our recent
"Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Medicaid enrollment is expected to grow by 16 million people by 2019, an increase of more than 25 percent. Given the unwillingness of many primary care physicians (PCPs) to treat new Medicaid patients, policy makers and others are concerned about adequate primary care capacity to meet the increased demand. States with the smallest number of PCPs per capita overall—generally in the South and Mountain West—potentially will see the largest percentage increases in Medicaid enrollment, according to a new national study by the Center for Studying Health System Change (HSC). In contrast, states with the largest number of PCPs per capita—primarily in the Northeast—will see more modest increases in Medicaid enrollment. Moreover, geographic differences in PCP acceptance of new Medicaid patients reflect differences in overall PCP supply, not geographic differences in PCPs' willingness to treat Medicaid patients."
"On its one-year anniversary, Obamacare's unpopularity is growing. Its hodgepodge of mandates and regulations have reduced competition in health insurance markets and increased the cost of coverage. Overall, Obamacare has increased government control of Americans' health care choices and limited consumer choice. The more than 1,000 waivers already granted tacitly acknowledge that Obamacare's 'benefits' are not worth its costs. Congress should replace Obamacare with consumer-focused reforms and sensible changes in health care entitlement programs."
"Among Obamacare's hundreds of pages was tucked a new government-run long-term care program, the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Program. CLASS was poorly designed, and actuaries criticized it as being unsustainable well before the passage of ObamaCare. It appears from three recent congressional appearances by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that the Obama Administration has caught up with the actuarial analysis."
"But over the past two years, ordinary Americans have come to realize that Washington's political class—the politicians and their staffs and the armies of lawyers and lobbyists and consultants that intermingle with them routinely—really have become distant from them in mind and heart; they have become disconnected in so many ways. That mental and emotional distance had become glaringly evident on many topics, such as record spending and deficits, but none so clearly as in the long and bitter national debate on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA), the new national health care law."
"The ACA contains insurance reforms, medical device taxes, pharmaceutical fees, and insurance company
fees that will raise the cost of insurance for millions of individuals, small businesses and households.
This analysis suggests that the insurance tax in isolation will raise premiums by roughly 3 percent. An
important topic for future research is to perform similar analyses for the other cost-raising aspects of the
ACA in order to assess the overall pressure on premiums."
"Recent district court decisions have fueled speculation over what the Supreme Court will do about ObamaCare if and when one of the challenges to the law's 'individual mandate' arrives on the justices' doorstep. Largely unnoticed amidst the agitation, though, cases that will have profound effects on ObamaCare's future are already pending before the Court. They involve enormous amounts of money, and they have powerful implications for the implementation of the criminally misnamed 'Affordable Care Act.' The justices will get these cases right, to good effect."

Just thought I would write up a quick little nugget about my recent trip to the Pro Football HOF that I took last weekend with my nephew, father and son. I live about 40 minutes from the Hall, so it was a quick little drive to Canton, OH to see the legends of football firsthand. A couple of quick observations right off the bat: Canton is a decent sized city, lots of restaurants surrounding the area, which you can tell largely depends on the HOF for considerable tourist income. Secondly, the Hall itself is pretty large, with Fawcett Stadium sitting right off the highway in plain view. There is also a football field for kids and parents to throw the pigskin around on located just beside the Hall. Now on to the actual visit.............
It is not cheap to visit the living legends of football. $23 for adults, $16 for kids and 5 and under free. Right when you walk in they hit you up with an offer for a photo with your group, that you can view later on (I felt the sting of the price gouge right there). The Hall consists of three floors, and also has a really cool "Super Bowl Theater" fan experience. It takes anywhere from 2-4 hours to tour and has many interactive and fun items for children.
My favorite displays:
1) They had an NFL replay exhibit. You could review different plays, then literally step "under the hood" and review the play from different angles/views and attempt to make the right call. My son, nephew and I reviewed this together and really enjoyed it. Then promptly made the wrong call lol Just like in real life!
2) Anything Bengal related (which, there were quite a few items pertaining to our favorite team). A few examples from memory: Game Ball from first ever game played by Cincinnati Bengals against Denver Broncos, Exhibit featuring Sam Wyche/Boomer Esiason that spoke about the innovation of the "No Huddle Offense," Anthony Munoz is represented prominently in the Hall. His game uniforms are there, linemans gloves, bust of course and many other items including him.
3) The Super Bowl Theater experience is very cool. It lasts about 20 minutes and was an in depth, extremely up close and personal look at the Ravens (Boo) and 49ers (Boo again) Super Bowl. Worth the time and the kids really enjoyed.
4) The 2015 Lombardi trophy. You could stand next too and pose with pictures beside the actual trophy that will be given away to the lucky team this coming year in Glendale, Arizona. This was a very neat and iconic display that every person visiting really enjoyed.
5) The gift shop. I know, the gift shop? Yes, the gift shop. Keep in mind, this trip is entirely sponsored and brought to you by the good old National Football league. I have never saw so many items related to the NFL in one store. Everything from ink pens to duck tape that had an NFL logo was present. Albeit not cheap, but they had it in every teams colors.
6) The Bust displays. This was something that I won't soon forget. This is the Smithsonian of the NFL. You really felt as though you were reliving NFL history by seeing all the greats who had been enshrined. I took several pictures of Anthony Munoz and was really excited when we finally saw his. The room is not large like I would have imagined, but very dark and lit up behind each group to kind of give it a mysterious and regal appearance. Truly awesome.
We spent about 4 hours at the HOF. I would recommend it to anyone who is truly a fan of the NFL. I would recommend leaving any female who is not a fan of the NFL at home for this one. My wife would have been miserable as I was basking in this glory. To me it really made me feel more of an appreciation for the game, while also passing this love on to my son and nephew. We had a great bonding experience, one that I believe only sports can sometimes provide. I recommend anyone make the trip if they are ever able, you will truly enjoy it. Until you get to the exit and the picture people pop up again and say, "Remember that picture you took right when you got here? We know you want to capture that moment forever for the price of only $35!" By then you'll be like us, talking about what you liked best as you walk right by the overpriced mementos of a great day............

I was there last weekend, always good - though pricey for us Brits with the exchange rate now.
I spent an hour trying to find 'Rocker Speed Shop' but my iPhone had died and I couldn't remember the street so was a bit gutted. There are loads of bike-related shops (even BHV the oldest department store in Paris has a bike kit shop!) and the kit they stock is definitely a notch above our bike shops from a style pov. They seem to love their Bonnevilles in Paris too.
On a non-bike related tip, but looking at what else you're into, the flea markets are mad and the first few rooms of the Soulages exhibition at the Pompidou blew me away. Amazing stuff.

Back Pain Health Center
Osteopathic Medicine Gaining Acceptance
Dec. 6, 1999 (Atlanta) -- Overcoming a lack of acceptance by the established medical profession, osteopathic medicine is gaining credibility and is proving to be a low-cost alternative for lower back pain. However, according to the November/December issue of the journal Archives of Family Medicine, a recent telephone survey of 800 HMO members suggested that the public is not yet familiar with osteopathic medicine.
Emil P. Lesho, DO (doctor of osteopathy), says the training is similar for traditional medicine and osteopathics, with osteopathics stressing the central role of the muscular and skeletal systems and normal body mechanics for good health. However, the word hasn't gotten out to the public that manipulation, the main healing technique of osteopathy, is safe and effective. Lesho writes that more research on manipulation would help educate patients.
Osteopathy dates back to 1874 when Andrew Taylor Still, MD, became disenchanted with existing medical practices, especially the liberal use of drugs and compounds for curing illnesses. Still believed the human body had an inherent ability to heal itself; he believed physicians could best promote health by ensuring that the musculoskeletal system was in as perfect alignment as possible and obstructions to blood and lymph flow were minimized or eliminated. To that end, Still developed various manipulative techniques and a philosophy of medicine similar to, but separate from, traditional medicine, also known as allopathic medicine. Presently, there are almost 42,000 licensed DOs in the U.S. making up about 5% of the physician population and providing about 10% of health care.
After reviewing 128 medical articles published between 1925 and 1993, Lesho writes that manipulation is relatively safe. "In more than 15 studies of manipulation, there were no adverse effects. ... However, determining the number of complications from manipulation is difficult because of uncertainties in the actual number of manipulative treatments performed and the number of unreported complications."
Osteopathic manipulation is proving to be particularly effective in treating lower back pain. Lesho points to several studies claiming that manipulation may shorten the duration of painful symptoms. In one 1981 study reported in The Journal of the American Medical Association, 95 patients receiving manipulation with soft tissue massage treatments had significantly more improvement in symptoms even though they reported their pain as being "severe" or "very severe."
There is even more recent evidence that supports osteopathic treatment for lower back pain. A study published in the Nov. 4 issue of TheNew England Journal of Medicine concludes that patients with chronic lower back pain can be treated effectively with manipulation. The study found manipulation to be as effective as other treatments for lower back pain and lower in cost.
During the 12-week study, patients were treated with a variety of accepted treatments for lower back pain such as pain medicine, anti-inflammatory medication, active physical therapy, Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (a device that provides a slight electrical current to an affected area using adhesive pads), and hot/cold packs. All of these forms of treatment, including manipulation, were shown to be effective for treating lower back pain. However, manipulation was associated with lower costs and less medication.
Officials of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) found the study proof of the validity and benefits of manipulation. "This study helps to reinforce what DOs and their patients have known for years," said Eugene A. Oliveri, DO, president of the AOA, in a written statement.

Zim Integrated Shipping Service's special cargo team has handled a shipment of a 100-ton, 92-foot-long yacht, shipped on board the Zim Ontario from Asia to Port of Savannah.
The Savannah Giant, a new barge crane delivered to the Georgia port in August, was used for the first time during the discharge operation. The crane was stationed alongside the Zim Ontario to make the lift from the vessel. After the yacht was taken off the ship, it was transported in the cradle from Garden City Terminal down river to Ocean Terminal.
The yacht, estimated at $8 million, was built by Alexander Yacht builders of Kaohsiung and is destined for the Miami Boat show.
"The Savannah Giant is a valuable addition to our offerings at the Port of Savannah, with a capacity of up to 500 short tons," said Curtis Foltz, Georgia Ports Authority's executive director, in a written statement. "Not only can it offload these enormous cargoes, but as seen in the recent yacht lift, our new barge crane can move super-heavy loads between terminals."
The new barge crane is part of the port's $186 million capital improvement plan for 2013 and 2014.

Okay this is a revised question from earlier today, I have included code to help explain the problem. I am sending two messages from the client to the server. The server then picks the messages up and processes them. The server finally attempts to send a message back to the client(please note in the server code "testmessage"), it is here I am having problems. Either I am not recieving the message at the client side or sending it incorrectly from the server side.
public class ClientConnection {
String address, language, message;
int portNumber;
Socket clientSocket = null;
public ClientConnection(String lan, String mes, String add, int pn) throws IOException{
address = add;
portNumber = pn;
language = lan;
message = mes;
public String createAndSend() throws IOException{
// Create and connect the socket
Socket clientSocket = null;
clientSocket = new Socket(address, portNumber);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(),true);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
// Send first message - Message is being correctly received
// Send off the data
// Send the second message - Message is being correctly received
// Send off the data
// NOTE: Either I am not receiving the message correctly or I am not sending it from the server properly.
String translatedMessage = br.readLine();
//Log.d("application_name",translatedMessage); Trying to check the contents begin returned from the server.
return translatedMessage;
Server Code:
public class ServerConnection {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Delete - Using while loop to keep connection open permanently.
boolean status = false;
while( !status){
ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4444);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Could not listen on port: 4444.");
Socket clientSocket = null;
try {
clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Accept failed.");
// Delete - Working as of here, connection is established and program runs awaiting connection on 4444
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
String language = br.readLine();
String message = br.readLine();
// Test - Works
// Test - Works
// Delete - Working as of here, both messages are passed and applied. Messages are received as sent from client.
TranslateMessage tm = new TranslateMessage();
String translatedMessage = tm.translateMessage(language, message);
// NOTE: This seems to be where I am going wrong, either I am not sending the message correctly or I am not receiving it correctly..
// PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new BufferedOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream()));
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(),true);
// Send translation back
// pw.write(translatedMessage+"\n");
pw.write("Return test"); // Test message!
// Send off the data
The code is a bit of a mess and I can see a few duplicates, I have commented where I feel the problems occour.
Thanks for any help!

Princess Adélaïde of Orléans
Louise Marie Adélaïde Eugénie d'Orléans (Paris, 23 August 1777 – Paris, 31 December 1847) was one of the twin daughters of Louis Philippe II d'Orléans, known as Philippe Égalité during the French Revolution, and his wife, Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon-Penthièvre. She was titled Mademoiselle de Chartres at birth, Mademoiselle d'Orléans at the death of her twin sister in 1782, Mademoiselle (1783-1812), Madame Adélaïde (1830). As a member of the reigning House of Bourbon, she was a princesse du sang.
During the French Revolution in 1792, she left France with her governess, Madame de Genlis. They fled to Belgium and then to a convent in Switzerland. During the Terror her father was guillotined, and her mother was banished to Spain. Sometime in the spring of 1794 Adélaïde moved to the home of her aunt, the princesse de Conti. They moved to Bavaria in 1798 and thereafter to Bratislava, and in 1801, she joined her mother in Barcelona in Spain.
Upon her return to Paris in France after the fall of Napoleon in 1814, she opened a salon and made Palais-Royal the center of the liberal party and organised the support of her brother. When Louis-Philippe became King of the French in the reign known as the July Monarchy (1830-1848), she was known as Madame Adélaïde. All her life, she was his loyal advisor or, in 19th century parlance, his "Egeria". It was she who, reportedly, encouraged him to accept the crown during the July revolution, and her influence continued undisturbed during his reign. She is described as simple and unmaterialistic.
Adélaïde d'Orléans died on 31 December 1847, two months before Louis-Philippe's abdication on 24 February 1848. She is buried in the Orléans family necropolis in the Chapelle royale de Dreux.

Encoding.ASCII Property
Gets an encoding for the ASCII (7-bit) character set.
Namespace: System.Text
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
ASCII characters are limited to the lowest 128 Unicode characters, from U+0000 to U+007F.
When selecting the ASCII encoding for your applications, consider the following:
The ASCII encoding is usually appropriate for protocols that require ASCII.
If your application requires 8-bit encoding (which is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "ASCII"), the UTF-8 encoding is recommended over the ASCII encoding. For the characters 0-7F, the results are identical, but use of UTF-8 avoids data loss by allowing representation of all Unicode characters that are representable. Note that the ASCII encoding has an 8th bit ambiguity that can allow malicious use, but the UTF-8 encoding removes ambiguity about the 8th bit.
Prior to the .NET Framework version 2.0, the .NET Framework allowed spoofing by ignoring the 8th bit. Beginning with the .NET Framework 2.0, non-ASCII code points fall back during decoding.
The ASCIIEncoding object that is returned by this property might not have the appropriate behavior for your application. It uses replacement fallback to replace each string that it cannot encode and each byte that it cannot decode with a question mark ("?") character. Instead, you can call the GetEncoding(String, EncoderFallback, DecoderFallback) method to instantiate an ASCIIEncoding object whose fallback is either an EncoderFallbackException or a DecoderFallbackException, as the following example illustrates.
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

Municipal bonds are issued by states and municipalities and typically have tax advantages relative to other fixed income assets. In general, income from muni bonds is tax exempt at the federal level and at the state level for investors living in the issuing state. Municipal bonds have historically been favored by investors in high tax brackets who, of course, derive more benefit from the tax exemptions by virtue of being in the highest tax brackets.

Guest post by Contributing Editor, Lowell Herr, ITA Wealth Management. Lowell is a subscriber to the Portfolioist and his investment philosophy is similar to ours. Enjoy.
The Golden Rule of Investing is simply, "Save as much as you can as early as you can." The operative word is early. William J. Bernstein lays it out in stark language in his book, "The Investor's Manifesto" when he writes, "Each dollar you do not save at 25 will mean two inflation-adjusted dollars that you will need to save if you start at age 35, four if you begin at 45, and eight if you start at 55. In practice, if you lack substantial savings at 45, you are in serious trouble. Since a 25-year-old should be saving at least 10 percent of his or her salary, this means that a 45-year-old will need to save nearly half of his or her salary. Most 45-year-olds will find this nearly impossible, if for no other reason than the necessity of paying living expenses, payroll taxes, and income taxes." Continue reading
Here at the Portfolioist, we frequently turn to Steve Thorpe, founder of Pragmatic Portfolios, LLC to share his insights on the topic of Tax Loss Harvesting. Here are 5 of his Tax Loss Harvesting Tips to help keep more of your money when tax time rolls around.
It's impossible to reliably predict future changes within the investment markets, however there are numerous ways for investors to favorably influence their own results. Important areas to focus on include developing an investment plan, saving regularly, diversifying widely, adhering to an appropriate asset allocation, and paying attention to all forms of costs – including taxes. For many investors, tax loss harvesting can improve their after-tax bottom line, sometimes to the tune of thousands of dollars per year. Continue reading
Summer is winding down. And believe it or not, 2012 is more than half way over, which means it's a good time for investors to start thinking about the year-end tax implications of their portfolios.

Would you invest a few hours to reduce this year's taxes by $1,000 or more?
For investors with taxable investment accounts, this is often possible by taking advantage of tax loss harvesting (TLH). This perfectly legal strategy makes lemonade from lemons, allowing Uncle Sam to share part of the pain of the losses inevitably experienced by investors at some points during their investing career.

I'm porting a midlet game for the n91. However all the standard icon formats I have tried turn out very pixelated, as if they where re-sampled to a low resolution (and then resized). I have tried 8 bit bmp's of sizes 15x15, 16x16, 24x24, 42x29, and even non-standard ones like 29x29 and 32x32. I also tried gif's and svg-t's. I was hoping the svg-t vector format would work, but nothing did, and I am running out of ideas. Does anyone know how to get it working?
(On a unrelated note; Does anyone know of a hack so that the "red button" does not cause application to exit? I have tried throwing a MIDletStateChangeException from destroyApp() but phone exits app. anyway.)
Thanks, firstname.lastname@example.com

The global plunge in equities, which has hit financial stocks especially hard, is producing some strange anomalies for anyone curious to compare how banks value their assets with how markets do. Bank of America Corp., for example, is trading for $9.13 as I write this, down about 4 percent for the day. That gives the company a stock-market capitalization of $92.4 billion, or a paltry 45 percent of common shareholder equity.

That market cap is now less than the $92.9 billion of so-called intangible assets on Bank of America's balance sheet as of June 30, which included $71.1 billion of goodwill. (Goodwill is the accounting entry a company records when it pays a premium price to buy another.) So to believe Bank of America's books, the intangibles -- most of which are not saleable assets -- are worth more than what the market says the entire company is worth. That's a fancy way of saying investors believe huge writedowns are still needed.

And to think that Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan says the company doesn't need to raise capital.

Update 4:45 p.m. Friday: Trustee Dennis Donnelly, chair of the village board's Public Information Committee, released this public statement regarding the vote to layoff six firefighters and demote one lieutenant:
The undersigned, a majority of the Board of Trustees, voted to reduce the salaried staff of our fire department by six positions. The decision comes after a great deal of study and deliberation. Among other diligence, the Village utilized the services of an independent national firm with expertise in municipal operations, including the delivery of fire services. It was concluded after consultation with the Chiefs that with the implementation of some new procedures, including the way firefighters are dispatched, that there was an opportunity to reduce the size of the department without impacting the safety of the community. These procedures are now being put in place. The savings to the Village and taxpayers is close to one million dollars a year. At a time when we are confronted with rising health care and pension costs, this decision, however painful, is necessary.
Our residents can be assured that the new staffing levels will not impact public safety and all three firehouses will remain open 24 hours a day. The firehouses will continue to be manned by paid firefighters during all shifts, this is in addition to our 100 dedicated volunteers. Public safety is the top priority of this Board and that is why we continue to be one of two communities in all of Nassau County with a salaried fire department.
It's important that residents realize that it's not popular to lay off people and emotions can get in the way of the facts. This decision was based on all the facts and implemented for the benefit of the entire community. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce spending without impacting services.

Original Story:
The Public Information Committee of the village board of trustees is working on a document, which possibly may end up a Village Facts, explaining how the board came to approve six firefighter layoffs and one fire lieutenant demotion, according to trustee and committee member Nick Episcopia.
The announcement came after some residents, including Episcopia's wife, Dorothy, became frustrated at the
Feb. 7 meeting.
"I know how much thought went into this because I
live with it. I know these decisions aren't made lightly. Unfortunately
gentlemen, the people who walked out of here do not," she said, referring to many of the career firefighters and their supporters who left the Feb. 7 meeting angry and disappointed after the layoffs were approved. "This does everybody a
disservice and mostly yourselves. We don't want to wait while you figure out what kind of Village Facts
you're going to put out, what kind of press release you're going to put
out. For goodness sake, this is very important to many people."
Dorothy Episcopia added, "I am so upset
and so disappointed that we didn't hear loud and clear that this
report did include some kind of a risk assessment. That's what brought
you to this. Not one of you said it."
TJ Michon, a 13-year Garden City career firefighter, asked Chief Charles Cavarra if in fact a risk assessment analysis was performed.
Chief Cavarra said an analysis was performed. When Michon asked if he could provide copies of it to the public, Cavarra replied, "Sure could, I've never been asked before." (On numerous occasions Garden City Patch has asked Chief Cavarra for a copy of the analysis but none has been provided thus far.)
Fellow Claydon Road resident Allison Sparacino said she appreciated the board's focus on managing the budget but had wished she heard more from the trustees who voted for the layoffs. "I didn't hear how you guys got comfortable with doing that ... How did you come to this decision? What am I going to tell other people that are now going to hear about this meeting to be rest assured that responses are going to be the same and we're all going to be safe in our homes? Can you do that for me?"
Mayor Don Brudie, one of two board members who voted against the cuts, replied, "I don't think you can."
Trustee Episcopia said the public document that's in the works will outline how trustees came to this conclusion and what they think the benefits are. "There was a lot of serious thought put into it. We understand people's lives are involved here. We understand there are young children involved. No one did this because they wanted to get back at somebody or anything along those lines," he assured.
John Delany of Spruce Street, a member of this year's
Citizens Budget Review & Advisory Committee (CBRAC) suggested the board release the document "promptly."
"Village Facts, whatever you do, please get it out there because I can see the next Garden City News. You did it behind closed doors. You didn't consider everything. I know that's not what happened and I know you didn't want to do it. But it leaves an impression. Half the people that spoke here tonight don't have any of the facts. Closing firehouses that aren't going to be closed. It's scary to listen to these people. They don't know that's why they say it. Please get something out quickly."
"There are a lot of people out here who would be pleased to know how
hard you think about these things but they don't know a thing because
nothing comes from you," Episcopia added, addressing the board. "I am very frustrated, very upset and very
saddened by this, personally. Don't take a month to figure out a Village Facts and another month to figure out who's going to write it. Get public information out immediately. it is so important to everybody."
It is unclear when the committee will release the document.

Objective: We assessed the association between cotton textile work and cancer mortality.
Methods: The cancer mortality experience of 912 (444 cotton, 468 silk) textile workers in Shanghai, China, was compared. Workers were followed from 1981 to 2003. The associations between cotton textile work and death due to all cancers combined (with and without lung cancer) and to gastrointestinal cancers were estimated with Cox models, adjusting for age, work years, and pack-years.
Results: There were 69 deaths. The adjusted hazard rate ratio (HR) was 2.10 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98–4.47) for all cancers combined and 2.56 (95% CI, 1.14–5.74) after excluding lung cancer. For gastrointestinal cancers, the adjusted HR was 2.09 (95% CI, 0.83–5.27).
Conclusions: These preliminary data suggest that, with the exception of lung cancer, cotton workers have significantly higher cancer mortality rates than silk workers.
Anumber of mortality and cancer incidence studies found that cotton workers were healthier than the general population and experienced lower than expected rates of cancer.1–5 However, these results were based on comparisons with the general population and may be biased by the healthy worker effect.6 With regard to lung cancer, cotton dust exposure has been shown to have a protective effect, which is hypothesized to be related to the antineoplastic-mediating effects of endotoxin.7 However, the association between cotton textile work and other site-specific cancers is unclear. Associations with specific cancers have been reported for larynx cancer in male workers,2 non-Hodgkin lymphoma,8 sinonasal cancer,5 and gastrointestinal cancer.2,9,10
To better understand cancer mortality among cotton textile workers exposed to endotoxin-containing cotton dust, we compared the mortality experience of a group of cotton workers with a demographically similar group of silk workers in Shanghai, China, using Cox regression models. Workers were followed for more than 20 years from 1981 to 2003. This is the only mortality study of cotton textile workers to use an occupational cohort as a reference group.
A cohort of textile workers followed in a longitudinal study on the respiratory health effects of cotton dust and endotoxin was assessed in this study for cancer mortality. The study population included 912 textile workers employed for ≥2 years in the yarn preparation areas of two cotton textile mills in Shanghai and in a nearby silk-thread processing mill. One subject with an unknown date of death was excluded from the analysis.
Study procedures and data collection for the longitudinal study of respiratory symptoms are described elsewhere.11 In brief, subjects had completed a modified ATS questionnaire and undergone pulmonary function testing at baseline in 1981 with subsequent follow ups in 1986, 1992, 1996, and 2001. Data on years worked, smoking status, and pack-years smoked were collected at each survey. Vital status through 2003 and cause of death was determined through records of the Shanghai Textile Industry Bureau, the death registry in Shanghai, and family members. Cancer cases were confirmed by pathologic or other diagnostic examination. Vital status was ascertained for all but one subject, who was censored on the date of last follow up. Subjects alive in 2003 were censored on March 1, 2003.
Exposure status was dichotomized as cotton worker and nonexposed silk worker. Person-years of observation were accrued from the date of entry into the study in 1981 until the date of death or end of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were plotted to compare the survival experience of each group. The difference was tested with a log-rank test.
The associations between cotton textile work and cancer mortality were assessed with Cox regression models. Cancer mortality was examined with and without lung cancer cases. The small number of deaths precluded assessing site-specific cancers. Gastrointestinal cancers, however, were the largest subgroup of cancer and were assessed following the same multivariable model as for all cancers and cancers excluding lung cancer for comparability. Age (years) was used as the time scale in the model to most finely adjust for confounding. Potential confounders considered were years worked, smoking status (current smoker vs nonsmoker), pack-years smoked, and gender. Covariates were included if they changed the effect estimate by more than 10%. Akaike's information criterion was used to choose the best multivariable model.
To verify the proportional hazards assumption of the Cox model, an interaction term between the indicator for exposure and age was included in the proportional hazards model. Log cumulative hazard plots were also used to verify the proportional hazards assumption.
Among the 912 workers, a total of 19,742 person-years of observation were accumulated. During an overall mean follow-up of 21 years, 69 deaths occurred (38 cotton workers, 31 silk workers). The mean follow-up time and distributions of age and gender were similar for cotton and textile workers (Table 1). Using silk workers as the reference group, mean percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at baseline was slightly greater than expected in cotton workers (103.0; standard deviation, 19.6). There was no significant difference in baseline percent predicted FEV1 in cotton workers by vital status (data not shown). Cotton workers were slightly older when starting work in the textile mill (20.9 ± 4.5 years) compared with silk workers (19.1 ± 4.3 years, P < 0.0001). In both groups, a greater proportion of the dead were male and ever smokers at baseline (data not shown). Deceased in both groups were also older at baseline and had been working approximately 10 years longer at study entry.
Overall mortality was similar, but cotton workers experienced significantly greater cancer risk (P = 0.03). This difference was more pronounced after exclusion of the lung cancer cases (P = 0.01; Fig. 1). Cotton workers also experienced significantly greater risk with respect to gastrointestinal cancers (P = 0.05). Unadjusted mortality rates per 100,000 person-years and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are presented in Table 2. In general, the crude rate ratios were similar to the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) obtained from Cox models (data not shown).
The multivariable Cox model included pack-years and work years. Gender was not included in the model with pack-years because few women smoked and was thus collinear with pack-years and did not further change the effect estimate. The adjusted hazard ratio for death from cancer comparing cotton to silk workers increased from the crude by approximately 10% to 2.10 (95% CI, 0.98–4.47, P = 0.06) (Table 3).
Exclusion of the lung cancer cases resulted in an adjusted HR of 2.56 (95% CI, 1.14–5.74, P = 0.02) for all other cancers combined. For death from gastrointestinal cancers, the adjusted HR was 2.09 (95% CI, 0.83–5.27, P = 0.12).
For all three models, an interaction term for age and exposure status was not significant in the model, thus suggesting the proportional hazards assumption of the Cox models was appropriate. However, log cumulative hazard plots showed some minor deviation from proportional hazards, indicated by slight curvature of the plots at lower log cumulative hazard values.
In this cohort study of cotton and silk textile workers, the overall mortality of cotton and silk workers was comparable. Cotton workers, however, had an increased risk of death from cancer in comparison to silk workers after adjusting for age, work years, and pack-years. The relative risk of death from cancer increased further when lung cancer deaths were excluded from the analysis. Although the number of deaths from lung cancer was small, an increased adjusted HR for cancer deaths after removal of the lung cancer cases is consistent with the pattern of reduced lung cancer rates observed in other cohorts of cotton workers3,12–14 and in case–control studies.15 Our findings also suggest that cotton dust-exposed textile workers were at increased risk of gastrointestinal cancers, which were the most common types of cancers observed. This association should be assessed further with larger populations potentially exposed to cotton dust or other organic endotoxin-containing dusts.
Our finding that cotton workers experienced a more than twofold increased risk of cancer differs from the results of other studies. This difference may be due to the use of general populations as the reference group in the other studies. Working populations are, in general, healthier than the general population. Comparing mortality rates between cotton and silk textile workers reduces bias from the healthy worker effect and better controls confounding from unmeasured factors such as socioeconomic status.6 Some occupational mortality studies that have used both the general population as a reference group as well as an internal or external unexposed occupational reference population have found favorable mortality experiences of the population of interest in comparison to the general population while finding increased risks when compared to the occupational reference.16,17
Our findings reflect a small number of events and the earliest deaths in this cohort and are further limited by the small sample size of the cohort. However, workers were followed for more than 20 years to a mean age of 58 years among cotton workers and 57 years among silk workers, which is slightly younger than typical cancer death ages. Therefore, it is possible that the increased risk of death from cancer observed in this study may become more pronounced with extended follow-up. It is unlikely that some of the effect seen in cotton workers was due to exposures from other work because job mobility was restricted for this cohort and workers stayed in the same sector for their entire working lives. It is possible that the relative excess of cancer mortality among the cotton workers may be due to an unmeasured confounder that is protective against cancer among silk workers. However, we know of no such substances.
Future analyses of this cohort as follow-up is extended will determine whether these patterns persist. When we have sufficient power, we will take advantage of available data on cotton dust and endotoxin exposure to investigate an exposure–response relationship with cancer mortality.

Students at Woodrow Wilson Middle School got a big surprise Friday afternoon, when a Pittsburgh Steeler walked into the school's auditorium.
Kelvin Beachum, number 68, visited the school to present a $2,500 check to students and faculty.
The students won Quaker Oats "Fuel Up To Play 60" video contest. The contest encourages kids to show off their commitment to getting active for at least 60 minutes every day.
Beachum spoke to students about healthy eating habits and getting enough exercise.
"Its unexplainable. I was really happy when I heard I got to meet Kelvin Beachum, I mean, I'm a big Steeler fan," said 7th grade student, Ethan Blasford."I really enjoy it, I really enjoy talking to the kids about healthy eating because as a professional athlete, I need to make sure that I'm eating healthy to perform at my highest level," said Beachum. "To be able to make sure these kids have this at an early is something I wish I would have had at an early age."
Beachum stuck around after the assembly to take pictures with the kids and sign autographs.
Woodrow Wilson Middle School is one of ten National first prize "Quaker make your move" schools.
