Cash money and piggy bank. Dollars, finance, business concept.
Updated: May 3, 2013 12:15PM
You have some basic investment choices, and not only do you need to understand how they work, you also need to allocate an appropriate portion of your savings to at last two or more of them.
All of this presumes that you have some savings or retirement investments to work with. So a special note to those who are just struggling to get out of debt. The toll-free number for credit counseling you can trust is (800) 388-2227. That will connect you to the nearest local office of an agency affiliated with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Don't give up. Get help.
Now, let's start by talking about "chicken money."
Your savings
It's not your imagination. If you've been a saver, you're getting penalized by low interest rates. The Fed has announced it will keep interest rates low — as an incentive to get those with money to stop sitting on it and start investing it. Of course, their policies are primarily directed at banks and large corporations, who together have trillions of dollars sitting rather idly on the sidelines.
Banks and businesses are unwilling to take the risk of lending or investing the money. Banks fear more credit losses are on the way in an economy that refuses to grow. And businesses fear more taxes and regulations, so they are hesitant to build new plants or create new jobs.
They can resist the tide of lower interest rates. But for many Americans who saved up so they could live on their interest income in their retirement years, the current Fed policy of keeping interest rates low is a punishment, not a reward, for their years of savings.
What to do: Resist the temptation to take higher risk — or ignore risk — in order to earn a higher return. Knowing how frustrated you are, some firms will tempt you with "structured notes" or equity-linked CDs or other promises of products that offer higher returns on your money. In too many cases, the salesperson is the one
making all the money!
The Savage Truth: It is better to dig into your principal for living expenses for a few years, than to lose a hunk of your savings to fees, illiquidity, and outright scams!
The stock market
Naysayers will give you a million reasons why the stock market shouldn't go up. The economy is relatively weak, America has huge debt problems, and the global economy is facing debt shock.
Yet, the stock market has managed to hold its own ground over the past three years, and not go back to its March 2009 bear market low around 6,700. No matter how disastrous the economy, the stock market can rally — as it did between 1932 and 1937, the worst years of the Great Depression.
This isn't the time to throw in the towel on stocks. The Stock Trader's Almanac reminds us that in every fourth year of a U.S. president's term, since 1946, when the market was higher in January of that year, it finished higher for the entire year. So, we're off to a good start!
That's not a blanket endorsement of all stocks. You have to pick and choose wisely. But good companies that pay dividends may be a good place for a portion of your money. The global smart money is still coming to America as the relatively safest place to keep their money, despite our well-known problems. And they aren't sitting in T-bills or bank CDs at near zero percent. They want to earn a return on their money through dividends, and the possibility of stock price increases.
What to do: Depending on your stage in life, risk tolerance, and need for cash, you'll want to have a portion of your money in dividend-paying stocks. Either consider an Equity-Income mutual fund (there are many, search at Morningstar.com). Or read Chuck Carlson's book, "The Little Book of Big Dividends," (for which I wrote the preface). There's a list of best dividend payers at his website, www.bigsafedividends.com.
The Savage Truth: The most "difficult" thing to do, the scariest thing at the moment, is often the best thing to do in hindsight. The "crowd" is usually wrong — eventually!
It just doesn't look like U.S. interest rates are going to rise any time soon. At least, that's what the Fed is promising. And the trading world seems to agree. Despite credit downgrades and budget worries, the world's hot money seems to think America is the safest place to keep money on deposit.
As money rushes to buy our government bonds, rates drop. The 10-year Treasury note was yielding more than 3.3 percent a year ago; now it's yielding less than 1.90 percent.
Just remember that when interest rates do rise — and they will at some point — the market value of your bonds will fall. That's because in a rising rate environment, no one wants to pay face value for your old, low-yielding bonds. So you could be forced to sell bonds at a huge loss if you need the cash.
Because of this "interest rate risk," longer maturity bonds pay higher yields — tempting you to forget that risk. Buying a 10-year bond is a bet that interest rates won't rise dramatically in the next 10 years. Is that a bet you really want to make?
Similarly, lower quality credit bonds offer higher yields — but will the borrowers stay in business to pay out the promised rate? Municipal bonds may offer tempting, higher, tax-free yields. But will these states and municipalities be able to raise taxes and revenues to pay off in the end? Those are the questions you must ask yourself before investing in bonds.
What to do: Stick with shorter maturities, and higher quality bonds. "Ladder" or stagger maturities so that all do not mature at once. Use a top quality bond fund that is managed by a professional instead of buying individual bonds, where prices are hard to decipher and commissions may be large. Or decide that you'd rather accept nearly zero yield in short-term CDs that give you liquidity and flexibility, than the risk of being locked into low interest rate bonds for many years.
Be diversified. Hedge your bets
Overall, given all the special uncertainties of this election year, you'll want to be diversified among these three categories — appropriately for your age and stage of life. It sounds like waffling, but in times like these why would you take the risk of moving heavily one way or another, unless you have a very high risk-tolerance?
You might want to hedge your bets on a balanced year in the markets by owning some gold as a hedge. Long-term, I expect it will move higher, much higher, as we continue to devalue our currency and borrow money to finance our deficits. Adding paper money does not cure deflation; it only sets up the risk of future currency devaluation.
What to do: Now, at over $1,650 an ounce, gold has become a volatile speculation — so if you buy at these levels, or on pullbacks, you'll need financial staying power and strong long-term conviction. Interesting note: The price of gold bullion, which can be traded by purchasing exchange traded funds (ETFs) such as GLD, immediately reflects global gold prices. But in recent years, share prices of gold mining companies have lagged bullion prices. For patient investors, those better quality mining company shares may provide better long-term growth — and dividend — possibilities. Search Morningstar for mutual funds that purchase shares of gold mining companies.
A final note: These are general guidelines to the possibilities for investing in 2012. If you aren't willing to do the work of evaluating the possibilities and managing your emotions, please consult an investment adviser or financial planner. A good place to start is with a Certified Financial Planner (www.cfpboard.org) or a fee-only planner (www.feeonly.org). As always, trust your instincts and always ask about costs, liquidity (ease of getting out of the investment) — and how the adviser is being compensated for this advice.

A young girl dies at a public pool, but not from drowning. The tragedy is both sad and stunning. First responders say Lauren Cecil of Lexington, North Carolina was electrocuted.
It happened at the Brookside Swim Club Tuesday evening. A lifeguard heard a loud pop and watched a power line fall into the grass next to the pool. Davidson County authorities say the electricity traveled to everything around it including the pool.
When the 11-year-old Lauren grabbed a metal ladder, she was electrocuted. Lifeguards and first responders had a difficult time getting to her because of the electrified pool.
Two other girls were able to safely get out of the pool.

On Thursday, July 27, officials at Morrelly Homeland Security Center in Bethpage hosted Project SAFEguard, an educational program that will be rolled out to local school administration. It is a program of the Applied Science Foundation for Homeland Security (ASFHS), a member of the Long Island Forum for Technology (LIFT) family of companies.
Project SAFEguard is a program developed in response to New York State's regulations, including the "Safe Schools Against Violence in Education Act" (SAVE) and revised regulations of the commissioner of education mandating schools to have sound safety plans.
Martins "tipped his hat" to Governor Andrew Cuomo concerning initiatives including the new 2 percent tax cap, a timely budget process, the states dealings concerning the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) and state school district issues, most notably unfunded mandates.
The board will add an additional section to the Denton Avenue School fifth grade. Also, another section will be added to the Center Street School fifth grade. Plus, they will add another second grade to the Searingtown School.
After a few months of constant concern from New Hyde Park residents, Inspector Sean McCarthy, commanding officer of the Nassau County Third Precinct, was the guest speaker at last week's village board meeting to address the concerns of residents.
Before opening the floor to the public, Inspector McCarthy provided a brief report regarding crime in the area and provided an update on the precinct. First, McCarthy reported that the Third and Sixth precincts have been combined and are now both under his command. While some residents expressed concern over this, McCarthy went on to explain that the combining of the precincts allows for a continuity of leadership and access to more P.O.P. (Problem Oriented Police) cops.
Following a presentation by Inspector Sean McCarthy of the Third Precinct, the New Hyde Park Village Board conducted their regular monthly meeting.
For reference, the New Hyde Park Village Board only meets once a month during the summer months. These meetings take place on the third Tuesday of each month at 8 p.m. in the New Hyde Park Village Hall. The next meeting will take place on August 21st.
These crucial directives could be transmitted from further a field if the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) goes through with plans to relocate air traffic control facilities in Garden City and Ronkonkoma to a new site in upstate New York. At a recent press conference held at the front of the aforementioned Stewart Avenue address, a bipartisan Long Island congressional delegation laid out its plan to keep the facilities in their current locations.
DeJana Executive Vice President Bill Wynperle explained that he came down with the flu in June and while he notified his assistant to inform the board, his assistant was out sick as well. Joined by Director of Business Development for DeJana John Mangano, they heard the boards concerns, which have started to affect Mayor of East Williston David Tanner directly.
At the annual reorganization meeting of the Herricks School Board Christine Turner was re-elected as president and Jim Gounaris was elected as vice-president.
Further, the two newly elected trustees Nancy Feinstein and Brian Hassan were sworn into office by board clerk Helen Costigan and they took their seats at the board table.
The New Hyde Park/Garden City Park Union Free School District held their monthly board of education meeting on July 2. The primary focus of this meeting was reorganization, with the appointment and reappointment of many members of the district and the board itself.
The board of education saw no change in its staff as each of the primary members was reappointed at the meeting.
With their wives and families in the audience, both trustees had a chance to thank not only their families for the many hours they spent away from them, while serving on the school board, but everyone in the various administrations including various superintendents and colleagues on the board.

Hero the dog fought back from the brink to find finally his forever home
At home in Chester with new owners Bill and Jane Gledhill
Look who's got the best seat in the house
'Hero's pinned right back leg after he was hot by a car
Prev | Next
Images: 1 of
ABANDONED, frightened and injured at the side of the road, the future looked bleak for 'Hero' the dog.
Dumped by his owners and left to wander the Deeside area for a month, he was then knocked down and dragged along the road under a car, who's driver failed to stop. A passing motorist stopped to help, however 'Hero' fled, despite his injuries.
Four days later he was found and taken to Capricorn Animal Rescue. His horrific ordeal saw him undergo four operations, including one to fit a heavy stainless steel brace on his hind leg to immobilise his knee, thought at first to have needed amputation.
But he has now found love and happiness with a new owner.
Sheila Stewart, secretary at Capricorn Animal Rescue Centre in Padeswood, which has been 18-month-old 'Hero's' home for the last eight months, said: "He will always have a bit of a limp, but he's made an excellent recovery."
Hero's proud new owner, Mike Gledhill, from Chester, said: "We've renamed him Hector. He's quite adorable, a bright little thing. He's settled in quite nicely to family life and he's gradually coming out of his shell – you can see the puppy in him now.
"He's well behaved – certainly house trained, he rarely barks and walks very well on the lead – until he sees a rabbit!"
Hector, once so starved of human affection and kindness that he didn't know what toys were or how to accept treats from his owners, now seems to be getting the hang of being spoiled.
"He's also partial to carrots and now enjoys his pigs ear treats" added Mike.
Speaking of her joy for Hector's happy ending, Sheila added: "This is the best Christmas present any of us could have had. We all had a cry when he left, he's been a big part of our lives here for the last few months. But it just means you've done your job properly – it makes it all worthwhile."
His journey to recovery has taken him months and he still bears the scars of his ordeal, but lying contentedly next to the wood burner in his new kitchen, this little hero has now found his forever home – just in time for Christmas.

Arizona's 'open state' public records law that has been in existence for over 100 years and mandates all public records be open to inspection. The Arizona Public Records Law is a series of statutes that describe public access to government information and that make government agencies accountable to the public by granting a right of access to records. There are some documents that are exempt from the public records law which include documents that would breach an individual's privacy or interfere in an ongoing investigation. Some examples of exemptions are research documents, student records, sealed court documents, medical records, and active criminal investigations. There are 15 counties in the state of Arizona and 91 incorporated cities and towns. The oldest, Tucson was incorporated in 1877 and the newest, Tusayan in 2010. Arizona's government is the state's largest employer with statewide and local agencies, various departments and divisions. The Arizona Department of Public Safety provides criminal history searches from the central repository.
Search for Arizona state, city and county open public records online. Link to all levels of government for their services and public information. Find information on Arizona's crime statistics and census data. Current crime reports are posted daily. Useful links like birth, court and criminal records can be accessed as well as other information about vital statistics, education and background history of Arizona residents.

30th Annual Conference of the Center for Medieval Studies
|Conference Aims
This international conference seeks to explore the ways in which traditional interpretations of medieval Scandinavian culture, literature, history, and religion are being challenged or advanced by new methodologies and new questions. The program includes papers in all disciplines, including art and architecture, archaeology and landscape, history, law, linguistics and philology, literature, and religion. Many of the papers speak to larger issues in Scandinavian studies, including how to resolve disputes about dating early vernacular texts; periodization; orality and literacy; methods of editing vernacular texts and translations; the mechanics and meaning of Christianization; the relationship between sanctity and politics; the extent and impact of the Scandinavian diaspora; the pace of state formation; settlement patterns; the relationship between 'Scandinavian' identities and material culture; and the influence of nationalism and romanticism on interpretative frameworks.

text: On September 16, 1995, about 1130 eastern daylight time, an Air Tractor AT-301, N2362D, nosed over during a forced landing near Plains, Georgia. The airplane was operated by Gosa's Aerial Ag under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 137, and visual flight rules. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. A flight plan was not filed for the aerial application flight. The commercial pilot had minor injuries, and the airplane was substantially damaged. Origination of the flight was a local private field, about 15 minutes prior to the accident. According to the pilot, he was conducting the first spray run when the engine lost power. The pilot maneuvered the airplane to execute a forced landing into an empty pasture. The airplane landed hard, then nosed over during the landing roll, and was substantially damaged. The engine, a P & W R1340, had been overhauled about 25.6 flight hours prior to the accident. The functional engine exam revealed that the number four cylinder rocker arm housing had fractured. In the detailed photos provided by United States Aviation Underwriters, Inc. the fracture surface had a rough, granular, and irregular appearance. The engine's total hours and number of overhauls could not be determined from the aircraft records that were provided. The operator's report of the accident did list the total hours.

The state of the city is fake, the state of the state is harrowing, state of the art cameras are watching you steal flowers and state Dems seek an altered state.
Published: March 17, 2011
Before we could ask if cops really used to hide in trees, O'Grady was already onto the next subject, talking about how the always-recording IRIS cameras could address MetroWest's recent problems with … flower theft. He confirmed that yes, the cameras could zoom, quite extensively, and when we wondered aloud if that zoom could replicate the detail of a human face just as our eyes could, he replied: "Just about."
We excused ourselves to mop up our techno-gasm, only to bump into Sergeant Barbara Jones, OPD's public information officer, who had just gotten the program displaying the IRIS live feeds installed on her laptop: "I sit at my desk," she says, and "I can see if there's someone lying on the street." Amazing.
Apparently, the Democrats in the Florida Legislature are so exasperated at their impotence that they're ready to light up a joint - House Joint Resolution 1407, that is, sponsored by freshman Democratic legislator Jeff Clemens. The resolution aims to put the decriminalization of medical marijuana to the test of a constitutional amendment in 2012, which would require 60 percent of the electorate to vote for it.
If the resolution doesn't pass, which is almost assuredly the case, the amendment would need 676,811 voter signatures to get onto the ballot, which the folks at People United for Medical Marijuana (PUFMM) have been working on - to limited success, as we first reported last November. Currently, the group has only 26,455 signed petitions, and PUFMM spokesperson Kim Russell would rather not deal with the bullshit of collecting signatures. "[Clemens is] just bypassing the process - which saves us a whole lot of work," she says.
But, again, the bill doesn't stand a chance, so what Russell is left with, as usual, is the vague optimism of someday: "This is just a stepping stone," Russell says. "What it's going to do is start a conversation."
Here's to a very long conversation. Here's to altered states.

Forming part of our Bachelor of Nursing suite of courses, this 28 month shortened programme for graduates gives you the opportunity to specialise in Mental Health Nursing.
This course has been developed to give you both an academic qualification and the vocational training to become a registered nurse. You will first learn the theory of nursing through a combination of lectures, tutorials, workshops, group work and online support.
There are organised sessions for you to learn in a simulated environment before going on to your placement in hospital or community settings within the Lothian and Borders area. Your placements (which are 50% of your course content) will help you relate the theory learnt in the classroom to real life practice. On placement you will be supported by a mentor who will supervise you and assess your achievement.
We aim to provide you with the learning, teaching and assessment experiences that will allow you to become a reflective graduate with the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute positively to nursing practice. We support you to become competent, knowledgeable, and skilled in mental health nursing care. You will graduate ready to work in hospitals and in the community.
You'll be able to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). This qualification means that you have been assessed to be a safe and competent nurse, at the point of registration, with the necessary knowledge, understanding, skills and abilities in nursing.
This course attracts a substantial, non-means tested, bursary.
You will develop your professional knowledge and understanding in the field of nursing. Cognitive skills will be taught, and you will learn how to apply your knowledge to practical situations. You'll gain communication, team working and problem solving and decision making skills. Overall, you will acquire the skills needed to demonstrate your eligibility for registration with the NMC as a nurse, including:
Includes a one year job guarantee, within Scotland, from the Scottish Government.
This qualification will give you excellent career prospects, in hospitals, voluntary organisations and the community. It includes a one year job guarantee, within Scotland, from the Scottish Government on successful completion of this course.

A day after a fire took the roof off a UNO dormitory building, it was a time for students to pick up the pieces and begin moving forward.
For UNO officials, Thursday was a time to meet the needs of the students. That included replacing textbooks, providing meals and fully-furnished replacement housing complete with toiletries.
Three young women we first met on Wednesday night say they're overwhelmed by the help
Senior Angela Gillespie said, "I came out and then they were like, 'are you the one with the bride's maid dresses?' I'm like 'no, my roommate was.' They were like, 'we have them.' I just freaked out. And then I just started calling them."
We first met the roommates on Wednesday and they were fearing the worst – that most of their possessions were destroyed in the fire.
By Thursday night they were unfolding their recovered bridesmaid dresses; burned and frozen but in hand, thanks to the recovery team at UNO.
Senior Kaitlyn Boyce said, "The structure is not exactly safe or stable, but going up there, if they actually find trinkets and stuff we thought was gone, they bring it back down, it is amazing."
Kayla Caumeran is getting married in May. The other two will serve as her bridesmaids. Late Wednesday night, firefighters salvaged her wedding rings.
Kayla said, "We told him and he went up and he found them and the boxes that they were in. They were just soaking wet. But they are fine."
Thursday was spent focused on helping students like these three with things like $8,000 worth of free Maverick T-Shirts, hoodies and text books.
UNO's Dan Shipp told us, "We've basically opened up our wallets to be able to help support those students. We don't want students waiting around for solutions."
One thing not recovered from the fire - Kayla's wedding invitations. But The Knot.com stepped up for those as well.
Kayla said, "As soon as I heard that they were going to, they wanted to replace my invites, I just started crying. I was just so thankful."
It was a day of recovery, physically and emotionally.
Part of that process includes sifting through what is covered by insurance and what isn't. The school says they will first start with students who are covered by their own renter's insurance, then figure out who is covered by their parents' plan and finally filling in the gaps from there. For now, the university wants to make sure none of the affected students go without.
"We've also as a university, we've had just for example just to get students through the next couple of days a hundred dollars on their MAV Cards, so students aren't faced with 'I'm down to my last couple dollars to eat', we wanted to make sure to plug that gap right away," University Associate Chancellor Dan Shipp said..
Staff will be on hand at the Scott Village once again tomorrow to meet with students and continue the recovery process.

More than 20,000 women have walked through the doors of the Strax Breast Cancer Detection Institute since it opened five years ago this month on West Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
Of those women, 284 discovered they had cancer.
``We`ve found a good number of early cancers and, I think, have saved a lot of lives,`` says Dr. Philip Strax, the radiologist who founded the institute and a similar screening center, the Guttman Institute in New York City.

Check out our programs or learn more about us
On behalf of the staff at the Sanford Regional Technical Center, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you as a student for the 2014-2015 school year. We are looking forward to seeing you in September. If there have been any changes in your plans or information or if you have any questions, please contact us at (207) 324-2942.
All students will be expected to attend SRTC starting on Tuesday, September 2nd. The exception to this is that students in the Health Occupations program located at Marshwood HS and the Early Childhood and Culinary Arts programs at Noble HS will have their first day on Wednesday, September 3rd. Transportation will be available from the partner schools on the first day, whether or not your high school is in session. You can expect to hear from your school regarding transportation details. Please note that students are expected to attend SRTC whenever we are in session and transportation is provided by the partner school. For example, some schools have late arrival, early dismissal or teacher workshop days in their calendar. In most instances, students will be expected to attend SRTC during the usual times regardless of the schedule at their high school. A list of dates for which SRTC is scheduled to be closed can be found in the SRTC Student Handbook, which students will receive during the first week of school.
In addition to your instructor, there are several staff members to support SRTC students. Mrs. Deanna Farrell is the School Counselor for all of the Sanford High School students attending SRTC and Mr. Roland Legere is the School Counselor for the students from all other partner schools. Home school and post-graduate students will work with the counselor associated with your home community. Mrs. Susan Williams is our Career Planning Coordinator and she will be working with you regarding planning for after high school. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Matt Petermann as our new SRTC Assistant Director. Mr. Petermann will spend half of his time at SRTC and half at Sanford High School.

Our Open House is scheduled for Wednesday, September 10th, from 6:30p.m. - 8:00p.m. All SRTC students and families are encouraged to attend. At 6:30pm, there will be a brief presentation in the Sanford High School cafeteria for all participants. This presentation will include the induction of our National Technical Honor Society students. Immediately afterwards, you will have the opportunity to visit classrooms/labs and meet your instructor to learn more about your program. Please note that students attending our Culinary Arts and Early Childhood Occupations and Education programs at Noble HS or our Health Occupations program at Marshwood HS should plan to attend the Open House for those particular schools.

A good war is just the thing to promote himself on the world stage, which is what he wants and he has a massive sense of entitlement that he can see no wrong in it.
I think both him and blair have something wrong with their brains that stops them from facing the reality of what they are doing and have done.

While New York Fashion Week might be getting all the column inches, this evening that city provided the venue for one of the most illustrious new Fashion Awards that we've ever attended. And while we don't like to brag, we can't help but give our incredible Editor Jane Bruton a massive shout out for scooping International Magazine Editor of the Year. The award was presented to our EIC by New York's premier designer, Marc Jacobs no less.
Mr Jacobs honoured Jane with her trophy in front of an audience which included A-listers like Lady Gaga and Jessica Biel, industry stalwarts like Bruce Weber and Joe Zee and a gaggle of beauties including Kate Upton, Heidi Klum and Karlie Kloss. In his speech he praised Jane's Editorship saying that she "is in large part responsible for the only relevant British women's weekly fashion magazine." Hear, hear! "She is as tireless as she is talented," the designer continued. "She's the perfect combination of smart, bubbly and fun - and from what I hear, sometimes a little too much fun."
Jane joined a stellar list of winners that read like the good and the great of New York's media industry. The debut awards was produced by The Daily Front Row, an insider fashion industry title which comes into its own during New York fashion week. Both Heidi and Karlie nabbed gongs while Joe Zee won Best Creative Director, Ingrid Sischy won the award for Best Scoop for her Vanity Fair John Galliano interview and V Magazine won Best Title, presented by Gaga.

Making sense of Salesforce.com
The Salesforce.com marketing pitch at the recent Dreamforce Europe was wearying at times but it is not complete nonsense. Chief executive Marc Benioff spent the first hour of his keynote reiterating what he has said 1,000 times before about "no software". The "no software" slogan is deceptive, since Salesforce.com is a software …
Good but
Nice article, except for one line where you say
"For example, hosted applications make more efficient use of hardware than on-premise servers"
I think that's a huge generalisation and certainly not true, just because the hardware is on your premises or not.
You could argue that the efficient use of the hardware is no longer the subscribers problem, but of course it is, because if salesforce do a poor job you'll end up paying more.
The other problem is of course if the company goes tits-up or gets sucked dry by some legal argument you can't easily take your toys and play elsewhere.
Finally, they've got you by the short and curlys once you've migrated to their platform. At least with SAP you could stop paying for support while you migrate away. In fact you could stop paying full stop and fight them in the courts if they upset you enough, while you're application continues to run. With salesforce they can always pull the plug.
We all no they have outages, but the issue is scheduled downtime.
Yes 2am EDT may be fine for a US customer, but no good fo EU customers, who are finding that as they get into work, they have no systmes for a few hours.
Hands up anyone who's responsible for a system with a reasonable number of users that's never, ever had an outage?
Okay, look. I'm biased. I work in the on-demand field (recently moved into the cloud from the on-premise model) and I have to say, the kool-aid is actually pretty damn' tasty.
SaaS/PaaS isn't a panacea; there are certainly situations where it isn't the best approach, but they're the minority. Quite a tiny minority. I also saw Benioff's speech, and the part that struck me most was when he asked for a show of hands from small, medium and large organisations. Roughly the same number of hands showed for each category. How many platforms can you name that work this well for the entire spectrum of client companies from tiny startup to global multinational? That's some serious scalability.
And, on the uptime issue, Salesforce are happy to publish their uptime stats and planned outages (which, as much as possible on a spherical world, are kept outside business hours) for all to see. Probably because they're actually pretty encouraging.

Ever since we first heard that the very wonderful Riccardo Tisci would be designing Lara Stone's wedding dress, we have been dreaming about the kind of exquisite haute couture creation Givenchy's Creative Director would magic up.
And he didn't disappoint. The dress for the ceremony was a flowing, cream lace corset dress, edged with golden chain; demure yet sexy (major uplift!), and reported to have a price tag of £30, 000. (see next week's magazine for pics!). It was worn with a matching silk crepeline cape..
But, of course, being a model, who is used to multiple quick-changes between looks, naturally this wasn't Lara's only outfit for her big day…
Straight after the ceremony, the bride changed into a SECOND Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci haute couture gown - a jaw-dropping gold minidress that was covered in an intricate, swirling mosaic of gold and silver sequins. The gleaming gown (and Lara's tiny waist) were proudly shown off by the bride, alongside her suavely tuxedoed groom David Walliams, outside the wedding venue, Claridges hotel, yesterday evening.
(Stay tuned for even more wedding details coming up next on Grazia Daily..!)
What do you think of Lara's gold dress for her big day? Tell us your thoughts below..

Lost in the media coverage of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) latest bridge and tunnel fare increases was the triumphant tone the MTA has adopted when extracting more money from the public.
"MTA Bridges and Tunnels intends to introduce a new card next year that will allow customers to go to hundreds of retail locations in the region and reload their E-ZPass accounts with cash using the same process that prepaid debit card customers use to reload these cards today. This card will be linked to customers E-ZPass accounts and will permit customers to refill their accounts with cash through an existing debit card network," an Oct. 27 MTA news release stated. A new card to streamline the distance between a driver's pocket and the MTA's coffers? What a great idea!
The release just reinforced the MTA's well-earned reputation for relentless revenue collection. Indeed, the agency already gets a piece of almost every economic transaction that takes place in downstate New York.
The disclosure about the MTA's new card came as the agency announced it would raise by 18 percent, to $6.50 per one-way trip from $5.50, the cash-only toll levied on every private-passenger vehicle using the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, Queens Midtown Tunnel, the Robert F. Kennedy (formerly the Triborough) Bridge, the Throgs Neck Bridge, and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The new rates take effect on Dec. 30, and the MTA's release highlighted how existing E-ZPass users are getting off relatively easy, seeing only a 5 percent rate hike at these bridges and tunnels, E-Z Pass drivers are slated to pay $4.80 per trip rather than the current fare of $4.57.
Three other bridges got caught up in the MTA fare hike, too. Tolls are going up at the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge as well as the Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge and the Henry Hudson Bridge, a structure connecting Manhattan to the Bronx.
The MTA's overall public policy goal—to get drivers to migrate to the E-ZPass from cash when paying tolls—is a laudable one. I generally access the MTA via the Long Island Rail Road and New York City Transit but when I'm crossing an MTA bridge or tunnel I'm always surprised at the number of drivers sitting at the cash-only tolls, even though E-ZPass has been widely available for years.
Where the MTA loses me is when they assert these toll rate changes are expected to yield a 7.5 percent increase in revenue collected at the seven MTA bridges and two tunnels affected by the agency's latest actions. Really, a 7.5 percent increase?
But what if the cash-toll drivers follow the MTA's advice and move en masse in 2011 to E-ZPass? An expanded E-ZPass user base, would under that scenario, generate far fewer dollars at the MTA's bridges and tunnels, if current traffic patterns held. Also, while some drivers will continue to pay cash, has the MTA estimated how many drivers will leave the roadways altogether in favor of mass transit? A prediction: revenues will fall far short of the projected 7.5 percent increase.

Through my employer, ChapterThree, I've released a WebPurify module for Drupal. At the moment it only allows filtering of comments, but it exposes an API for other developers to extend. Due to the project requirements it's a D5 module. If anyone has some free time, submit a patch for D6.
I think I might have just passed out for a second or two. I love the C programming language, and I rather hate most browser-side scripting languages. Can this article be true? Did I dream it up from a lack of oxygen? I may have to stop making dirty comments about flash "programming".
Now that I've officially started my first week at my new job, I figure it's time that I make a post about it. As many of you may know, I've been picked up as Lead Engineer at Chapter Three LLC. You can eve find a stylish picture of me on the about us page. So Suave.
The site is largely marketing speak at the moment, I know. What we really do is Drupal development. If you need a custom site that can cook you breakfast, we can just about do it.
This is my first experiment with the Processing language. I was inspired to try Processing by the amazing Magnetosphere video. Music is a sample of Miss You by Trentmoller. This experiment is using simple OpenGL and the ESS library provides audio playback with FFT.
This is an excellent article. I wish more companies would think this way.
I've been accepted to Google Summer of Code for the second year in a row. This year I'll be working with OSU OSL on Drupal / Google Apps API integration, along with another student.
Congratulations to everyone that was accepted!
I FINALLY ported the Gradebook and OG_Gradebook modules to Drupal 5. They are still marked development and need massive of testing. Please feel free to try it out and submit bugs and features requests.
New for D5:

Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses, focusing on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness, whatever the diagnosis. The goal of palliative care is to improve quality of life for both patients and families provided by a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists working with a patient's other doctors to provide an extra layer of support.
Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage
in a serious illness, and can be provided together with curative treatment.
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care: Helping patients improve quality of life
This video tells two stories:
*A patient's widow and a patient with an artificial heart. Two physicians describe UW Medicine's approach to palliative care.
*Palliative care helps patients with serious illnesses and their families choose medical care that respects their needs, reduces pain and improves quality of life

This song from Son Volt, circa 1995, was inspired by the now-abandoned Route 66 town of Times Beach, Mo., and the flood and resulting dioxin contamination that killed it.
The entire album, "Trace," was inspired by a lot of road trips in the St. Louis region, and remains the best the band's ever done. (Amazon download here.)

This gorgeous video by Dan Carter shows the Havasupai reservation in the bottom of Arizona's Grand Canyon.
More about the Havasupai:
Havasupai means "people of the blue green water". Havasupais have dwelt in the Grand Canyon and the rest of north-central Arizona for over 1,000 years, practicing summertime irrigated farming in the canyons and wintertime hunting in the plateaus. The Havasupai Tribe Reservation is at the end of Indian Route 18 off historic Route 66. It consists of 188,077 acres of canyon land and broken plateaus abutting the western edge of the Grand Canyon's south rim. Residents live in Supai Village in the 3,000 foot deep Havasu Canyon. The reservation was established in 1880 and substantially enlarged in 1975. The tribe is known for its location, traditional cultural life, and beautiful arts and crafts.

Check out the very beginning of the background of this Dwight Yoakam video from about 10 years ago. Anyone know where this is?
This is a very underrated song by Dwight, by the way.
Arizona's Route 66 gets $700,000 grant to find problem gas stations May 25, 2012Posted by Ron Warnick in Gas stations, Radio.
1 comment so far
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a $700,000 grant to identify problematic abandoned gas stations along Route 66 in northern Arizona, reported KNAU, a public radio station.
The grant will be used in Flagstaff, Winslow and Holbrook, as well as sites in Coconino and Navajo counties. Many of these long-closed gas stations' underground tanks leak fuel and contaminate ground water.
Once the problem sites are found, each city can apply for federal funds to clean them. Not only do the cleanups remove potential future problems in groundwater, basements, and storm sewers, but they also make the properties more desirable for redevelopment.
Here's the radio broadcast of the report:
"Route 66 for Kids" guidebook released on Kindle May 24, 2012Posted by Ron Warnick in Books, Road trips.
add a comment
"Route 66 for Kids," a guidebook to the Mother Road for parents and their children, has been released in a Kindle e-book format through Amazon.com, in time for the start of tourism season.
This edition was updated by author Emily Priddy this week. Previous editions, with the first dating to 2003, came in print and, later, a download.
The Kindle edition is $5.
According to the news release:
Route 66 for Kids is a compendium of kid-friendly museums, amusement parks, aquariums, restaurants, motels, ice-cream stands, petting zoos, picnic areas, photo ops and roadside oddities on or near Historic Route 66. […]
"For a book like Route 66 for Kids — which requires regular updates and has a target audience that includes people all over the world — Amazon's Kindle program is ideal," Priddy said. "The electronic format is convenient for travelers and resolves a lot of logistical issues with publishing and distribution, and because it's distributed through Amazon, it has a chance to reach a wider audience, which hopefully will translate to more families discovering and exploring Route 66."
Route 66 for Kids contains descriptions, addresses, phone numbers, Web addresses, hours and admission prices for more than 150 attractions on or near Route 66. A special section in the back of the book offers advice for planning a family vacation on 66, from keeping kids occupied in the car to finding inexpensive but meaningful souvenirs.
Priddy also has a website, kidson66.com, to help promote the book and Route 66.
Readers who do not own a Kindle device can download a free program from Amazon that will enable them to read the book on their computer or mobile device.
Disclosure: I am married to the author. So it wouldn't be proper for me to write a review of the book. However, you can rest assured that plenty of research and time went into it.

FLS Varsity brings you the scores, stats and stories from Fredericksburg-area high school sports.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Wildcats by a hair
Mountain View senior linebackers Clay Shaw and Trent Wilson can keep their razors packed away for at least another week after Friday night's close shave in the first round of the 5A–North playoffs.
"Fear the Beard" is still in full effect.
Shaw and Wilson were two of the Wildcats' defensive standouts in their 21–7 home win over Potomac in the first round of the 5A–North Region playoffs.
Shaw recorded two sacks and recovered a fumble at the Mountain View 8-yard line in the third quarter, and Wilson had a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown to salt away the victory in the closing minutes of the fourth.
Mountain View (8–3) advances to play Briar Woods, a 57–0 winner over Potomac Falls, in Friday's region quarterfinals.
Shaw and Wilson, who started growing their bushy beards at the start of training camp, aren't ready to shave them off.
"Clay and I started this on Aug. 5. We started growing our beards out for the season. We hope to go far so we're not shaving for a while," said Wilson, who started the season-long beard-growing tradition with Shaw when both were freshmen.
On a night when the Wildcats' offense struggled to sustain drives, the team's defense came to the rescue.
"That's tremendous, having a defense that can bail you out in situations like that when the offense can't get the ball moving," said Wildcats senior tailback Gordon Collins, whose 150 rushing yards accounted for well over half of the team's 242 total yards.
"And then you've got a defense that scores points for you. That's great. I couldn't ask for anything better."
Mountain View forced five turnovers. Senior defensive back Quinton Gray had two of the team's four interceptions, and senior linebacker Alex Windsor had a critical pick in the end zone to save a touchdown in the first half.
"Our whole motto this week was attack the ball and get everybody around the ball," Shaw said. "We need just a party at the football. Our defense was attacking today, and that's what we needed."
Potomac (4–7) did a good job of slowing the Wildcats' offense, but it couldn't completely shut down Mountain View's attack.
Collins had a 70-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to give his team a lead it would maintain until late in the third quarter.
The Panthers, who saw two red zone chances get snuffed out by the Wildcats' defense in the first half, finally broke through on Steven Hill's 3-yard game-tying touchdown run with 1:46 remaining in the third quarter.
Mountain View drove 72 yards on its ensuing possession, and Collins ran untouched for a 9-yard score and a 14–7 Wildcats' lead.
"I was really proud of that drive," Wildcats coach Lou Sorrentino said. "They scored but we came right back and answered. That showed a lot of character."
The outcome was still in question late in the fourth quarter when Potomac attempted a fourth-down pass from the 50-yard line. Torrey Dixon's throw was tipped into the air, and Wilson came down with the interception.
He rumbled down the right sideline for the touchdown and some breathing room.
"When I was running it back it was like a dream come true, helping my team out in the playoffs," Wilson said.

- Written by Christopher Fox Graham
- November 15th, 2013
A newspaper is more than just a record of past and upcoming community events, a collection of stories on local personalities and summaries of actions by governmental bodies. Newspapers are vital components of the community: We serve as a public forum for our readers' opinions, criticize our leaders when they betray the public trust, investigate activities that bend the truth or break the law and work in the interests of our readers and our residents.
The proof of a newspaper's vital importance to a community is clear in today's front page. Larson Newspapers reporter Ron Eland has written a follow-up story to a police report first reported on Oct. 23 about a suspect arrested for allegedly molesting a young child more than 20 years ago.
On Oct. 17, Sedona Police Department Sgt. Lucas Wilcoxson sent us a brief press release about an arrest the day before of a 65-year-old Sedona man charged with three counts each of child molestation, child abuse, sexual conduct with a minor and sexual abuse of a child.
We contacted Dwight D'Evelyn, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office public information officer, and asked for the suspect's booking photo. True to form, D'Evelyn supplied the photo in less than 30 minutes, allowing us to provide our readers with the face of an alleged criminal. We ran the report and photo in our next issue.
In the days afterward, more potential victims came forward to Sedona police and the suspect is facing additional charges for alleged crimes, including one dating back nearly 40 years.
"Once it came out in the paper, it spread by word of mouth and more and more people came forward," Wilcoxson told Eland.
The suspect in this case is innocent until proven guilty and how the facts will play out is now up to the courts, prosecutors and witnesses who will determine his guilt or innocence and possible punishment for alleged crimes committed against our most defenseless community members.
In the modern media, people have dozens of means to hear the news. A crime story heard over the radio or seen on the television can often be forgotten or misheard in the brief airtime allotted. Stories seen on the vast, sprawling cyberscape of the Internet can be hard to again track down on a computer or smartphone. However, a local newspaper is a tangible, tactile media outlet. Its physical permanence allows readers to read, reread and share the details of a story and bring closure to victims.
The partnership between us in the media, local law enforcement agencies, public information officers and you, our observant readers, helped bring this story into the light. We thank SPD officers and detectives, Sgt. Wilcoxson, D'Evelyn and the YCSO and those readers who helped get this story out to the public at large. We hope the victims who have suffered in silence for years find peace.

Fitzhugh Green was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, on August 16, 1888. He was the son of Charles Edward Green, a cotton broker, and Isabelle Fitzhugh Perryman, as well as the grandson of Charles Green, an Englishman who settled in Savannah, Georgia, in 1840.
Young Fitzhugh Green received his early education in the public schools of his home town. He later attended and was graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, in 1909. He then received an M.S. degree from George Washington University, Washington, D.C., in 1913.
After the requisite two years of sea duty, Green was commissioned an ensign (1911). From 1912-1913, he was assigned to the Bureau of Ordnance, and over the following years was eventually promoted to commander (March 1927). In 1913, Green requested and was granted permission by the Navy Department to join the expedition led by the explorer Donald B. MacMillan, in search of and to explore Crocker Land and other unknown areas of the Arctic. He did not return to U.S. shores until 1916.
After his return from the Arctic, Green became aide and flag lieutenant to Admiral Thomas Rogers, and was on duty in European waters during World War One. Green was appointed officer in charge of ordnance proving and testing, in 1919, at the Naval Proving Grounds, Indian Head, Maryland. Two years later, he was detailed as gunnery officer of the USS "Texas," and in 1924, was graduated from the Naval War College. During his attendance at the War College, Green was also aide to the college president. After graduation, Green was attached to the Office of Naval Intelligence in New York, until 1927 when he retired from the Navy.
In 1940, Green was recommissioned by the Navy as a lieutenant commander, and assigned to duty with the Bureau of Ordnance in Washington, D.C. In May 1942, he was transferred to the South Pacific as operational intelligence officer on the staff of Vice Admiral Robert L. Ghormley, and took part in the preparation and execution of the Guadacanal Campaign. On July 19, 1942, Green was assigned to the U.S. Naval Reserve.
Besides his career in the Navy, Lt. Com. Green was also a prolific writer. In addition to authoring numerous books of his own, he ghost wrote for many famous individuals such as aviators Charles A. Lindbergh and Richard E. Byrd, and the explorer and photographer of wild animals, Martin Johnson. Green also contributed many articles to periodicals and was a popular lecturer, particularly concerning his Arctic experiences during the Crocker Land Expedition of 1913 through 1916. He was a technical film director for Richard Barthelmess in 1925; managing editor of the George Matthew Adams Newspaper Service from 1925 to 1926; and a member of the editorial staff and assistant to the president of the George Putnam Publishing Company from 1927 to 1929.
Green was also an active member of numerous associations including the American Geographical Society of which he was fellow; Phi Lambda Epsilon and Phi Sigma Kappa societies; the Explorers and Army & Navy clubs of Washington, D.C. and New York City; and the Appawamis Club of Rye, New York. His religious affiliation was Episcopalian; his favorite sports recreations were golf and fishing.
Lt. Com. Green was married twice: first, to Natalie Wheeler on November 27 1916, in Philadelphia; and then, to Margery Durant Campbell Daniels on November 15, 1933. Ms. Wheeler was the daughter of Richard McCall Elliot, a business executive of Philadelphia. They had three children: Fitzhugh, Jr.; Elisabeth Farnum, who married Richard Hooker Wilmer; and Richard Elliot Green. Green and Wheeler divorced in later years. Ms. Durant, was the daughter of the automobile manufacturer William Crapo Durant. She had been married earlier, first to Edwin R. Campbell, and then to Robert Daniels.
Lt. Com. Fitzhugh Green died on December 1947, in Danbury, Connecticut.
Books by Fitzhugh Green include: Arctic Duty (1917); Clear the Decks (1919); Won for the Fleet (1921); The Mystery of the Erik (1923); ZR Wins (1924); Midshipmen All, Fought for Annapolis, and Our Naval Heritage (1925); Uncle Sam's Sailors, History of the American Navy, Hold 'em Navy, The Life of Robert E. Peary, and I'll Never Move Again (1926); Anchors Aweigh (1927); Famous Sea Fights, in collaboration with H.H. Frost (1927); We, in collaboration with Charles A. Lindbergh (1927); Martin Johnson, Lion Hunter and Dick Byrd, Air Explorer (1928); Bob Bartlett, Master Mariner and The Film Finds Its Tongue (1929).
* * * * * * * *
The Fitzhugh Green, Sr., Papers consist of Green's correspondence; diaries and notebooks; manuscripts (autograph and typed) to articles and prospective books; reprints of articles/papers; clippings from newspapers and magazines; and photographs including many negatives of family and a notable set of glass slides showing scenes from his Arctic travels.
Most prominent are the series consisting of correspondence, scrapbooks, articles, notebooks and journals belonging to Green about the Crocker Land Expedition (dating from 1912-1916/17).
A small box of Green's files relating to his service in the Navy is included. These papers consist primarily of official correspondence between Green and the Navy Department concerning personnel matters such as his assignments, leave, and salary.
It should be noted that all material, including clippings, journals, and notebooks relating to the Crocker Land Expedition are grouped together in the same series.
Refer to the Series Synopsis for an outline of the arrangement of the material in this collection.
Material concerning Fitzhugh Green can also be found in the papers of Fitzhugh Green, Jr., which are housed in the Special Collections Division of Georgetown University Library.
