Senior Care Referral Service
Concierge Care Advisors is a senior care referral service with the leading experts in senior housing and elder care.
Our services are entirely free to the seniors and their families. They are compensated by the senior housing communities they refer the elders to. That being said, our Care Advisors truly have the seniors' best interests at heart and are rarely compensated in the case of those with low-income or on Medicaid. This is never an issue because our goal is to raise the bar for senior housing and elder care.
Whether you or your loved one requires a 24-hour nursing home or a few hours of personal assistance each week, Concierge Care Advisors is here to be your advocate when choosing a senior living option. Our recommendations will only include the best, most qualified Providers and Professional Services. For our clients, we are a trusted partner in the process of selecting life's transition options.
Unlike other senior referral agencies, we know, visit and prequalify every senior care professional & residential community we recommend. With Concierge Care, you can expect a comprehensive and knowledgeable team approach to senior living options (assisted living, retirement communities, adult family homes, adult day care, nursing home services, Alzheimer's care), as well as ancillary services such as financial, legal and benefit planning. We do not promote one ancillary professional over another, but we do perform an extensive background check and due diligence processes on those we recommend to meet your needs.
Concierge Care Advisors eliminates the anxiety that can be associated with life's transitions. Whether you or a family member are at home, in the hospital, or even in a community or home care location now, we will always come to you. And there is never a fee for using our senior care referral service; our personalized assessment of your needs, pre-arranged facility tours, and our final recommendations are all free.
Minor- to Moderate-Care Options
In-Home Care:
If staying at home is the best option for your loved one, then Concierge Care Advisors can help identify the best choices for residential care or home health care. We have met with a number of professionals who offer their services in home in the following states: Washington, California, Oregon, and Idaho. Learn more >>
Independent Living:
For some seniors, they may only need minimal assistance with housework and their yard, but more than anything, want to be in a community of their peers. These homes offer little to no additional services and are typically senior communities (aged 55 and over), but they do require much less maintenance and if your elder needs it, you can hire in-home care for these residences. Learn more >>
Assisted Living:
These are facilities offer more support with seniors who need help with the activities of daily living (preparing meals, travelling to the grocery store, showering, etc.). These are typically apartment complexes or group-home settings, providing senior care and a community of peers. In addition, our senior care referral service only associates with those assisted living communities that have a nurse on-call 24/7. Learn more >>
High Level of Care Options
Adult Family Homes:
These homes are numerous and the level of elder care provided can range from moderate to high. These are residential homes licensed by the government and run by registered gerontologists or nurses. Adult Family Homes are actual home settings with a limit of six residents to each house. This is appealing for many families because it ensures attentive and customized care. Learn more >>
Nursing Homes:
Nursing homes are often thought of as a last resort due their ill repute in the past, however all of the facilities we affiliate with have been trying to change this image. As a senior care referral service, typically we will only recommend nursing homes if your senior needs 24-hour care and supervision, whether it's due to a disability, memory loss, or other debilitating condition. These should not be considered end-of-life or hospice care, but they do provide the maximum level of care an elder can receive short of being in the hospital. Learn more >>
Memory Care:
Memory care is a specific form of senior care that is in addition to preexisting housing establishments. In other words, select Adult Family Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, and others provide certified memory care for seniors struggling with memory loss due to Dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. If your loved one is in need of this kind of care, it's imperative to contact our Care Advisors, since they know the reputable senior housing options that provide this type of care. Learn more >>
We can help you find the most suitable – and affordable – option to meet your needs, preferences, and unique situation. Each type of senior living community or facility has a unique purpose and approach. Identifying the best one can be overwhelming, that's why our senior care referral service will help you in this challenging time.
Your Personalized Tour
After discussing the senior care options that best fit your needs, your Concierge will schedule a tour of the residential communities or facilities you'd like to inspect. We'll be on site with you and your family to ensure that the important questions are asked and answered. After visiting, we can help you make your final decision, whether you are selecting from basic senior living services or more specialized nursing home services. Meeting your elder care needs is our primary goal.

Get your accident-prone kid the Nike 6.0 Boys' Mavrk 2 Jr. Skate Shoe. It won't prevent all of his falls, but it'll definitely give him wicked-good traction and grip on sketchy terrain thanks to its rubber outsole with rubber sidings.

Billy Hunter was fired by the players of the National Basketball Association on Saturday.
Via NYTimes: "The dismissal came only five weeks after the release of an independent audit that faulted Hunter's business and hiring practices, including accusations of nepotism and abuse of union resources for personal gain. Although the audit, conducted by the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, found no criminal wrongdoing, it concluded that Hunter had put his own interests ahead of the union's."
Derek Fisher was one of the many players who pushed to put an end to Hunter's long career, which began in 1996.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the NBPA player rep vote on the removal of Billy Hunter was 24-0.

- 2Feb 20, '11 by ArwenEvenstarKyasi, your perspective is great because you are a nurse and you are in charge. That is how it should be. It makes sense. As I've mentioned before, I hope your nurses really appreciate you and your agency. The best agency I worked for was a little mom and pop one where a husband and wife owned and ran it. The husband did the business end, and the wife was a RN who did the care end. The wife, as a RN, understood healthcare and nurses.
The problem with many of these other agencies (Maxim!) is that men with sales/marketing degrees are in charge of everything. They have no grasp of healthcare or nurses. Thus you end up with unbelievable things going on!!!! Yes, there are supervisory nurses but the male recruiters and director with no understanding of healthcare call the shots.

So yes you can make $15 an hour with Maxims/NurseCoreSeems like all the agencies fight to go as low as Maxim with the pay lately. Makes one desire working at In'N'Out.
or $15 an hour at McDonalds.

Many owe their lives to him directly or indirectly – benefactors of his efforts to ensure that race tracks around the globe adhere to safety standards of the high levels which prevail today.

This isn't just a vanity thing. Your abs are the main support system for your spine and the place where almost all movement in your body is initiated. With these easy core exercises, you have no more excuses for weak abs
(8 Photos)
Melissa Hendricks
Nov 26, 2012 at 5:45PM
Kenneth Baehr-Photographer
This looks simple but is by far the best exercise to strengthen your abs! Lie on the floor face down and lift your body so you are supported on your forearms and toes. (If you need to modify this exercise, keep your knees on the ground.) Make sure that your shoulders, hips, and knees stay in one straight line. Elbows should be directly below shoulders. Hold the plank for 15-60 seconds. When you are able to hold the plank for 60 seconds without much effort, you can add challenges by lifting one foot slightly of the ground, placing your elbows on a stability ball or holding the pose on your hands and toes.

Superior value, social responsibility and a practical commitment to sustainability are hallmarks of our corporate culture. Welcome to the Volkswagen Group's 2011 Online Sustainability Report.
By 2018 the Volkswagen Group aims to be the most profitable, fascinating and sustainable automobile manufacturer in the world. We are ready to accept the responsibility that goes with this status. Across the globe.
Volkswagen is on its way to becoming the top automaker. By 2018 the Group is aiming to be the No. 1 in the automobile industry – both economically and ecologically.
501,956 people now work for the Volkswagen Group. That means 501,956 individual contributions to its day-today success and 501,956 individual sets of talents. And we foster each one of them. It's a responsibility we take seriously by focussing on our employees' health, skills and commitment. And we are aware that our responsibility is growing - for ourselves as a company and for each individual within it.
Advancing women and promoting diversity
The Volkswagen Group is about to embark upon a fundamental ecological restructuring programme. Over two thirds of the capital expenditure planned for the period up to 2016, amounting to over €62.4 billion, as well as an additional €14 billion to be invested together with partners in China, will be channelled into more efficient vehicles, powertrains and technologies, as well as into environmentally compatible production at our plants around the world.
Here we have set out the key environmental, financial and social indicators. Along with the figures for the year under review we have also provided the figures for the preceding years. so that trends can be more easily identified.
If a company's sustainability performance is going to be analysed and compared, then uniform rules must apply. That is why there are unequivocal requirements and standards with which sustainability reporting must comply.

Attractions and Places to Visit
Thousand Pillared Basadi (Jain Temple):
Thousand Pillared Basadi and the other Basadis that are seen in Moodbidri, were not erected by any of the rulers. A Jain by name Charukirti Battaraka was behind the construct of the Jain temple at Moodbidri. People in the area helped him. Vijayanagara kings were requested to provide land for the construction. The rulers were very generous. They always provided the much needed help to the people if it were for the religious purposes. In the year 1430 A.D, the rich merchants and Chowta Kings at Moodabidri, contributed to the construction. Charukirti Battaraka completed the construction and soon it became famous and was called Jain Kashi. It is well known for its magnificent art work and thousand pillars.
Kadalakere Nisargadhama (resort): It is located in the nearby place Ontikatte brave queen abbakka cultural village. Every year Koti-Chennayya Kambala (buffalo race) takes place. Kadalakere lake has been developed between the month of July and October 2012. There is a small island amidst the lake and boating is available.
Mijar Shobhavan: The Mijar Shobhavan is a Precious herbal garden and a major centre of attraction. It is famous for its Ayurvedic medicinal herbal plants. That are connected with nine planets in Indian astrology (Navagraha). Treatment centers at the place provides both Ayurvedic and nature therapy.
Private Park for Butterflies at Belvai: Just 8km from the Jain town there is a beautiful park dedicated for the colorful butterflies. Sammilan Shetty aged 27 years who is residing at Shanthadi House has developed the private park. Kanthavara forest which lies between Moodabidri and Karkala is home to butterflies of more than a hundred species. Flowers and plants that support the thriving population of shutterbugs and butterflies are grown in this area which is spread across nearly seven and half acres. Sammilan's collection of rare butterflies has attracted the attention of the natives as well as people from across the state. Recent counting showed that there were 118 species.

Dressed for success: The tradition of Thanksgiving masking, children in drag, begging for money!
Turkey anyone? Thanksgiving maskers, in New York, taken sometime between 1910-15. Whatever you do, don't look the 'lady' directly in the eye!
My new column for the Huffington Post is live, and the topic is a strange, forgotten holiday custom called Thanksgiving masking, popular among New York kids from the 1890s-1930s. Children dressed as exaggerated versions of poor people! Boys in their sisters' clothes! I wrote about this last year at this time, but this article is newly expanded, and I've done a bit more research on the origins of this very odd tradition.
You can check out my story here.
There are several archive photos attached to the article as well. However, here are a few more, courtesy the Library of Congress.
All these were taken in New York between the years 1910-15 according to file captions. However the background looks quite unfamiliar. Any guesses?
I especially love these little rascals. Cute, cute, really cute, SCARY.
And finally, here's a selection of small portraits of Thanksgiving maskers in the West Village in 1933. Courtesy New York Public Library

YIIIIIHIHAA! Love the pics!ReplyDelete
This is similar to a Thanksgiving tradition which was popular with chidren living in Greenpoint, and other parts of Brooklyn, during the same time period. The kids would also dress up in rags and would go door to door asking the question, "Anything f'Thanksgiving?" They would receive things like cookies, fruit and pennies. Egg throwing and socks filled with flour or cornstarch were also part of the festivities. This custom waned in the late 1930s-early 1940s, once Halloween was popularized.ReplyDelete

What? You want me to post?
Haaaa! I now have a ton of great Dear Foodmomiac questions, but zero brain cells available to work on them. I have a feeling there will be no great food content on this site until after our move. Why? Where are my brain cells?
- Handling child care. My friend offered to watch the kids this week and next, albeit part time. Yesterday while watching them, she tripped over my kitchen stool and pulled a ligament. I had to call another babysitter, who is probably a serial killer. She is coming tomorrow. Unless she gets abducted by aliens. Which might very well happen, given my track record.
- Handling the move. We decided to rent the duplex I mentioned the other night. Sight unseen. We are moving in one week from Friday. Yes, I am freaking out. No, I have made zero preparations. Did I mention that it is less than half the size of our current house? That's not even counting our garage which is crammed full of junk. We have movers coming in a week to pack. By then I need to know what I'm keeping, what I'm giving away, what I'm throwing away, what I'm putting into storage in Chicago, and what's going to our new house. ACK!
- Figuring out when I'm going to go see the new place. I think I need to go this week. Maybe Friday? I think I need measurements, so I can plan out our furniture situation. I have no idea which couches will fit, etc.
- Getting actual work done. I went back to part time this week, but I still feel like I need to be working all the time.
- Assuaging Dylie's fears. She seems pretty shaken up about the move. She won't talk about her feelings, but she's had a few potty accidents and just seems kind of on edge. She's just not being herself. I scheduled two play dates this week to try to help her snap out of it. I've shown her pictures of the new house, pictures of her new school. I've told her that Daddy and I are nervous and excited too. Any other suggestions?
We are now off to Max's one-year well check with our cute Doogie Howser doctor.

Hee, Alvin K.W. and Wee, Suk-Ling and Tan, Keng-Hong and Ritsuo, Nishida (2011) Attraction of female and male oriental fruit flies to conspecific males and mating competition following consumption of zingerone and ethyl vanillate. In: 6th Asia Pacific Conference On Chemical Ecology, 11-15 Oct 2011, Beijing, China.
Restricted to Repository staff only
Floral volatiles containing methyl eugenol, raspberry ketone or zingerone (Z) are known to modulate interactions between Bulbophyllum orchids and Bactrocera fruit flies. Recently, flowers of Bulbophyllum elevatopunctatum containing ethyl vanillate (EV) as one of the volatile component, was observed to attract fruit flies, which the probe on floral lip, petals and sepals. But the effects of consumption of the floral chemical on the behavioural ecology of the fruit fly are not known. We studied the attraction of virgin females and males of the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, to conspecific males fed with either Z or EV in a wind tunnel. Concomitant with decreasing light intensity, males fed with either Z attracted significantly higher numbers of conspecific males and females during the courtship period at dusk. When groups of attractant-deprived, Z-and EV-fed males were released together into a large field cage containing virgin females, significantly higher numbers of the Z- and EV-fed males were caught in copula than the sttractant-deprived males. This suggests that both Z and EV may act as precursors to the male pheromone that promotes the mating competitiveness.

Why Evangelicals Don't Care When Rich White Conservatives Defile Marriage
Photo Credit: Shutterstock
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Newt Gingrich's win in the South Carolina primary looks like it may not be an outlier; Gingrich's poll numbers are rising rapidly in Florida , and he has a good chance of beating Romney there as well. Gingrich is doing well in no small part because he has so much support amongst evangelical Christians; so much so that many evangelical leaders refused to go along with an attempt to unify the Christian right behind Santorum.
In South Carolina, evangelical Christians voted for Gingrich 2-to-1 over boring family man Mitt Romney. For anyone who takes seriously the notion that evangelical Christians actually care about things like family and fidelity, this support for Gingrich is baffling, since he has a history of serial adultery that he barely bothers to disavow. But a closer examination of the situation makes clear what's going on: for the Republican base, "family values" don't actually matter, but are just a gloss painted over what really motivates them: reactionary rage. They love Gingrich because he's a flaming ball of rage they can wield against everyone they hate.
The sexual double standard is the most obvious way the us vs. them mentality works. There's nothing the modern American conservative loves more than to decry our country's supposedly declining sexual morals. Once the Republicans swept state legislatures and the House of Representatives, punishing sexual freedom became their number one priority, which manifested in nearly 1,000 bills restricting reproductive rights in state legislatures and a bill attacking private insurance funding of abortion in the House. Eventually, House Republicans threatened to shut down the federal government in order to defund family planning clinics, basically because they're in the business of providing contraception and STD prevention and treatment. All this while the base continues to push abstinence-only and reject gay marriage on the grounds that it's not "traditional." But when it comes to a serial adulterer like Gingrich, he gets a pass. After all, he's one of theirs, and if you're in the tribe, you get a lot more leeway.
Nowhere is this more obvious than in the reaction to Marianne Gingrich sticking her head out, as she periodically does, to remind the world of what a terrible man her ex-husband is. This time she added the juicy detail that Newt basically demanded that he get to have both his wife and his mistress at the same time. It was a reminder that while this flagrant cheating was going on, Gingrich was repeatedly moralizing in public over President Clinton's adultery. To this day, the GOP base still regards Clinton as some kind of perverted sex maniac. But Gingrich? Well, during the South Carolina debate when Marianne's interview with ABC was brought up, the audience loudly booed the mere mention of her name. For the Republican base, Gingrich not only gets to cheat, he also gets to flaunt it in his wife's face; but a Democrat like Clinton's more secretive and brief affairs are unforgivable.
Gingrich doesn't live by the strict sexual rules laid out by conservatives, because those rules are meant for other people. Sex is a weapon being used against all those classes of Americans they don't like: non-white people, gays, non-Christians, liberals, Democrats, people who have to work for a living, poor people, Democratic politicians.
With rising levels of pious posing amongst Republicans, there has been some half-hearted attempts to pretend that they hold everyone to the same standards, which helped created the spectacle of Gov. Mark Sanford's resignation. Gingrich represents a tossing-away of that feigned concern for fairness and a return to what conservatives really love best, a pedal-to-the-metal defense of straight white male privilege, especially that of wealthy white men. He's the living id of the Republican Party: a spoiled brat who takes what he wants without apology, and then dresses down perceived inferiors for their supposed lack of morals and work ethic. You could easily imagine him drifting out of Tiffany's, having bought wife number three fancy baubles with money generated from one of his direct mail schemes only to pause to lecture a homeless vet on how he deserved his fate because he didn't sacrifice enough.

Cambodian-Thai Border Conflict Benefits No-one
- Comments (19)

While the world's attention is focused on the uprisings in the Middle East, a dormant border dispute is flaring up again on the Thai-Cambodian border around the historic Preah Vihear Temple complex. Built on a 1700 ft. (500 m.) cliff by Khmer emperors in the 11th and 12th centuries, Preah Vihear has a deep cultural significance for Cambodians. The land below the temple is the subject of the current dispute, which began after thousands of Phnom Penh residents marched through the streets to celebrate the temple's listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 8, 2008.
In a 1962 ruling, the International Court of Justice awarded ownership of the temple to Cambodia in a 9-3 vote, based on a 1907 map that showed the site clearly within Cambodia's borders. Thailand has abided by the ruling until recently, but is now claiming that Cambodia is trying to steal land along the border.
This claim is absolutely ludicrous for several reasons. First of all, Cambodia has no interest whatsoever in another protracted violent conflict with anybody. The kingdom is still trying to recover from 30 years of Pol Pot's madness and the ensuing guerilla conflict in the '80s and '90s that cost the lives of more than 2.5 million and left the country in ruins. If there is any country that desires to live in peace, it is Cambodia.
Secondly, if "border creep" is indeed an issue then, according to foreign aid officials who worked on the Thai border in the '80s, it is actually Thailand that has been the offender. No one is accusing Thailand of orchestrating a campaign, but it was Thai farmers, probably just trying to make a living, who took advantage of the turmoil in Cambodia to plant a few extra hectares in disputed border areas.
Finally, Cambodia was the first to call on the UN National Security Council to send in peacekeepers, having no need or desire to see a dispute over what amounts to just 1.8 sq. miles (4.6 sq. km) of scrubland ignite into a costly armed conflict.
With the recent escalation and exchange of fire in early February, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen called out the Thai government, stating that, "Thailand created this war. Thai Prime Minister Abhisit must assume responsibility for the war." Calling the conflict "a real war… not a clash," he dispatched Cambodian troops to protect the local population and the 900 year-old temple.
Since then, Cambodian TV stations have been running fundraisers with donations large and small pouring in from all quarters to support the troops. Sporadic skirmishes have resulted a 11 deaths with dozens more injured and hundreds of locals fleeing the region on both sides of the border.
The danger for Cambodia if this dispute were to become "hot" is that relations with Thailand, an important regional economic partner, would be ruined for years, while hundreds on both sides would die needlessly. Thailand, with a population of 66 million and GDP of $312 B, may be able to afford such waste. Cambodia, with a population of 15 million and GDP of $11 B, cannot. This is why Cambodia was quick to ask the UN Security Council to create a buffer zone in the province and approached ASEAN, which avoids interfering in member states' disputes, about mediating between the two sides.
Fortunately, ASEAN has been able to broker an agreement to send a military/civilian team to the region. Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said last Tuesday that unarmed observers would be deployed on both sides of the border, adding that "this is an observer team – not a peacekeeping or peace enforcement team.
Sending observers is a first step towards defusing this conflict, however, both governments must show good faith in negotiating a more permanent solution, perhaps under the auspices of the UN.
Preah Vihear, originally dedicated to the Khmer, is a masterpiece of its architecture that could become an important tourist destination, generating incomes for people on both sides of the border. If violence continues, this important source of revenue will dry up. Let's hope for the sake of Thais and Cambodians living in the region that the only thing destroyed is the enmity between our two countries.
This article is part of a writing assignment for Voices of Our Future, which is providing rigorous web 2.0 and new media training for 30 emerging women leaders. We are speaking out for social change from some of the most unheard regions of the world.
Too much conflict
It's amazing how many violent conflicts there are in the world. Everybody is focused on Libya and the Middle East right now, yet there are probably dozens of smaller conflicts all over the world that are going unnoticed, with tragic results for the populations affected. If you visit http://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/ you can see their weekly digest of conflicts happening all over the world. I think we are part of the vanguard seeking to end violent conflict in the world. Each word you write is an important contribution!

Focus on an important problem
Dear Sarvina,
I learned a lot from reading your piece and clearly felt your passion about finding a solution. I also liked that you put the Cambodian-Thai conflict in context with other world events.
Cambodian Advocator!
Dear Sarvina!
So touching sister, i felt your pain. Yes in all our countries we cannot afford war! oh no,these are issues that will fuel conflicts and romours of war. Its an unhealthy environment.We all want peace. Am sorry to learn the state of Cambodia, as it is still recovering from the conflict that left the country so devastated and in ruins.
I cry for peace with you sister.Cambodian and Thais are brothers, may they find their love together.
Wish all the best
"success will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time " And when confronted conquer with love
Informed, inspired, and IMPORTANT!
Cheers to you, Sarvina! You have done a brilliant job with this piece!
This is clearly an important issue that needs to gain attention the world over and you have taken a strong step towards that end. Your writing is informed, inspired, and asserts clearly what needs to be done to resolve the issue. Your call-to-action for the governments of both countries is powerful, in particular.
May you (and the people of Cambodia and Thailand!) be compassionate and safe during this time of unrest...
All the best,
Wonderful OpEd
Hi Sarvina,
Well done, sister! This final draft is spot-on. You clearly lay out the background information so that I felt that I understood the context of this conflict, and then you make a powerful call-to-action for government leaders. Great work!
It's amazing how an artificial "line in the sand" can lead to such violence and turmoil. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could simply celebrate the beauty and history of this sacred space? Needless bloodshed is a terrible consequence of creating borders between people.... I hope that your call for peace is heard loud and clear!
Again, well done! Thanks for sharing!

First post.... I'm looking into joining ECU Credit union (CVS Pharmacy Employee) and was wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on the process/odds of getting approved for a car loan. I know this is a long shot but any help or feed back would be appreciated
Current FICO is 609, up from (578) i also i have 2 things coming off my credit report in march and july. After those are removed, my total debt which is in collection is a medical bill for $881. I'm at about 33k
I believe you would need to better your score some but keeping that aside, you can possibly get approved for a car loan. Just apply after the two tradelines you mentioned stops being reported. That would give your score a tiny boost and a clean record looks nicer to the loan officer.
Thanks, Seeing all the approval replies in the other thread from folks with REAL low scores is getting my hopes up.
Question... WHen both of the tradelines come off my report, i should only expect a small boost? i was thinking it would rise at least to 620???
As long as you still have collections reported you are not going to see much of a raise. If the accounts being removed are fairly recent then you could expect more score boost than if they are older than your other collections. But as always your mileage may vary. We are just guessing based on other peoples experience.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

Although the listings can give us an idea of what to expect in terms of pricing, it is worth noting that they can be rather unreliable as well. Still, the prices seem realistic and according to a list compiled by CPU World, Haswells will end up a bit more expensive than their Ivy Bridge based predecessors.
The Core i5-4430 will be the cheapest part, priced at $197 and it will be no more expensive than its predecessor, the Core i5-3330. However, some chips, such as the Core i5-4670 and Core i5-4670K will be 13 and 10 percent more expensive than their Ivy-based siblings. The priciest part is the Core i7-4770K, at $368. Five other parts are listed and they are 4 to 9 percent more expensive than previous generation chips.
All in all it doesn't look bad and we believe launch prices will be even closer to Ivy Bridge prices, but we can't be sure until Intel officially launches the first batch of Haswell chips.

Huntsville, Ala. (Smokies Baseball) -- The Tennessee Smokies dropped the Huntsville Stars 7-3 on Wednesday night at Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville. With the victory, the Smokies improve to 33-19 and the Stars fall to 27-24 on the season.
The Smokies got on the board first with a huge inning in the top of the third. Luis Flores was hit by the pitch to lead off the inning and LHP Chris Rusin (2-1) reached base immediately after on a throwing error by catcher Martin Maldonado. Both runners would then advance a base on a Brett Jackson fly out to left field. After a pop out to by Junior Lake, Josh Vitters singled to score Flores, giving the Smokies a 1-0 lead. Rebel Ridling singled on the very next at-bat to score Rusin from third base, putting Tennessee up 2-0. Steve Clevenger capped off the frame with a three run homer to left field to give the Smokies ahead 5-0.
In the top of the sixth, the Smokies added one insurance run to their lead. With one out, Marwin Gonzalez singled to center field. Nate Samson then lined a double to right field, scoring Gonzalez to give Tennessee a 6-0 lead. Huntsville answered by finally getting two runs on the board in the bottom of the sixth inning. Steffan Wilson singled to center field with one out and Sean Halton doubled to put runners on second and third base. Angel Gonzalez then grounded out to shortstop, scoring Wilson. Zelous Wheeler doubled home Halton with a fly ball to right field to cut the Smokies' lead to 6-2.
In the top of the seventh, Junior Lake singled to center field with one out and later stole second base. Nelson Perez followed with a single to center field, scoring Lake and increasing the Smokies' lead to 7-2. Huntsville would answer in the bottom of the seventh inning when Sergio Miranda reached base on an infield single. Logan Schafer singled to advance Miranda to third base, and with a throwing error by Nate Samson, Miranda would score to make it a 7-3 ballgame. Kyle Smit and Chris Carpenter combined to shut down the Stars over the final two innings to end the game.
LHP Chris Rusin went six innings, giving up two runs on five hits to get the win for the Smokies. Huntsville LHP Dan Merklinger (3-3) took the loss as he gave up six runs, with only one of the runs earned in six innings
The Smokies will try to take three games in a row and win the five game series against the Stars on Thursday night at 7:43 PM. RHP Trey McNutt (1-2, 2.34 ERA) is the scheduled starter for the Smokies and the Stars will put RHP Michael Bowman (1-2, 4.68 ERA) on the mound.

Zeus botnet exploits unpatched PDF flaw
Zeus botnet exploits unpatched PDF flaw
Researchers spot first widespread attack using Reader, Acrobat design flaw
By Gregg Keizer
April 15, 2010 04:01 PM ET
Computerworld - The Zeus botnet is now using an unpatched flaw in Adobe's PDF document format to infect users with malicious code, security researchers said today.
The attacks come less than a week after other experts predicted that hackers would soon exploit the "/Launch" design flaw in PDF documents to install malware on unsuspecting users' computers.
The just-spotted Zeus variant uses a malicious PDF file that embeds the attack code in the document, said Dan Hubbard, CTO of San Diego, Calif.-based security company Websense. When users open the rogue PDF, they're asked to save a PDF file called "Royal_Mail_Delivery_Notice.pdf." That file, however, is actually a Windows executable that when it runs, hijacks the PC.
Zeus is the first major botnet to exploit a PDF's /Launch feature, which is, strictly speaking, not a security vulnerability but actually a by-design function of Adobe's specification. Earlier this month, Belgium researcher Didier Stevens demonstrated how a multistage attack using /Launch could successfully exploit a fully-patched copy of Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
