Singapore must avoid going too far on foreign-worker curbs to remain competitive in attracting businesses and investors, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said.
The island should be careful not do "overdo" measures to restrict the inflow of overseas labor as it will raise the cost of doing business and make it harder for companies to operate in the city-state, Lee said in a Labor Day speech to more than 1,000 union leaders and members today.
"If we make it too difficult for companies to get their skills and talent which they need here, they will go elsewhere," Lee said. "Investors are watching us closely. We must not send the wrong signal that Singapore no longer welcomes business or that they are turning away talent."
Singapore increased curbs on overseas workers for a fourth straight year in February and unveiled measures that will result in higher wage costs for companies through 2015, as the government steps up efforts to increase productivity. A protest is planned today over labor policies that some Singaporeans say are hurting low-income earners and forcing citizens to compete with foreigners for jobs.
The island's job market will remain "tight" this year as demand for workers outpaces supply amid the restrictions on foreign labor, the Monetary Authority of Singapore said in a report yesterday.
Protest Scheduled
Several thousand protesters gathered at the edge of the city's financial district in February to demonstrate against a government plan to increase the island's population through immigration. Organizer Gilbert Goh, who runs a non-governmental group to help unemployed citizens, is holding a second protest today and said issues such as the lack of a minimum wage may be raised.
Lawmakers from Lee's party endorsed a set of proposals in February to allow more foreigners through 2030 to boost the workforce, which may help raise the island's population to 6.9 million from 5.3 million.
While Singapore must manage the number of foreign workers, "we have to be very careful as we tighten up because business costs will go up, it will become harder for companies to operate here, our competitiveness can be affected," Lee said. "Our costs of living can be affected because wages go up, costs go up, prices will follow."

Funny how declarations made in the heat of campaign season can be later forgotten by our nation's elected officials. President Obama continued to do the reversal cha-cha late into the week with his decision to take up the very military tribunals he had sharply criticized before taking office.
Chicago Tribune:
The Obama administration will announce Friday that it will continue to use controversial military commissions to prosecute some alleged terrorists, current and former officials said, reversing a campaign pledge to rely instead on federal courts and the traditional military justice system.
Word on Thursday of the imminent decision angered human-rights groups, which argued that any trials under the system begun by former President George W. Bush would be widely viewed as tainted and said the Obama administration was duplicating the mistakes of the previous administration.

Comments Thread For: Canelo Does Not Feel Any Pressure With Mayweather
Saul Alvarez has more than one hundred million reasons not to be served up as the sacrificial lamb for Floyd Mayweather's latest record-breaking return to the ring in Las Vegas.
The 23-year-old Alvarez says he will have the whole of Mexico behind him as he aims to become the first man to beat Mayweather in what will be the favourite's 45th professional fight.
Alvarez has built his own unbeaten record and is regarded by many as the biggest threat yet to Mayweather as they square off for the WBC light-middleweight title.
Alvarez said: "There is no pressure whatsoever. It is motivating to have all of Mexico rooting for me.

why should he ?
He is the favorite one for those who knows boxing. The odds are made based on what the judges might see and that's probably a robbed decision. That's why Im watching this fight for free on internet (live hunter). Let's not be part of this bull****.

Since the bets are 3-1 and 2-1 i wouldnt be surprised if they give the decision to Canelo.

He's going to get throttled if he feels no pressure. He's coming in under-prepared if he doesn't understand the magnitude. Gonna be a white wash. 10 rounds to 2 for Mayweather would be my guess.

Canelo had every advantage that the WBC could give. All the time and nurturing, the big promotions headlining talent packed cards. Trout was Canelo's big test and Trout was blinded by the lights. It's a big jump from Trout to Floyd, but Vegas needs to pay bills, so the odds may favor Floyd, but chances favor Canelo if he makes it to the last bell.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
It can never be said of the Swedish Academy that they don't know what they like. Between The Growth of the Soil, Independent People, The Good Earth, and probably several others I haven't read yet it seems clear that the path to a Nobel prize in literature is the one trod by struggling farmers out in the countryside.
Independent People, unlike some of the other novels of this vein, focuses on the unpredictability of both nature and man as the decisive reason why farming succeeds or fails. While Hamsun stages a play where hard work and the willpower of the human spirit leads to the successful farm, Laxness sees the lonely farmer as ruled by the vicissitudes of fate more so than the noble human spirit.
I'm no farmer, and I don't pretend to know what interpretation is more accurate, but I can see the effect that the philosophies have on both stories. Hamsun's main character is essentially a simpleton, whose strength and work ethic are the source of success. His wife, neighbors, and children are all lesser beings even when more intelligent, whose virtues decrease according to how little they care for the farming lifestyle. In sum The Growth of the Soil is a showcase for the triumph of the human will and an ode to the farming lifestyle, even if the characters are rather flat and one dimensional given how long the book is.
In Independent People, in contrast, the characters feel more fleshed out, though all of them are insufferable to different degrees. Stubborn and proud even when they have done nothing to be proud of, a mix of bad luck and human foolishness means that life is a struggle in this novel even when things are going well. The main character is no supernaturally strong jack of all trades, and so he cannot be as independent and self-sufficient as he would like to be, and how the main character of Growth of the Soil actually is. Eventually the epiphany the man reaches and the message of the book as a whole is that there is no such thing as a truly independent person, as man is a social animal. It's a fairly obvious message, and not one that takes 450 pages to convey. John Donne did it more effectively in a single paragraph.
Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth is the best of the three, and also the least tethered to the setting or realism of a farm. Rural China as imagined by a Westerner is vivid, probably more vivid than it was in reality, but I'd happily sacrifice realism for a good story. In The Good Earth a farmer's success is also due to chance, but it is chance governed by man as much as it is by the weather or fate. The main character ultimately succeeds due to an act of theft, not hard work, and the final chapters of the book depict the corrupting power of wealth. The Good Earth also ends with a message in support of the farming lifestyle, not because of its nobility, but because the soil is permanent while other human endeavors are transient.
All three are solid books, and all three treat the subject in different and interesting ways. Nevertheless, I'm glad the Swedish Academy has since expanded its view of literature beyond the farm.
This week I finished The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. I first read this book decades ago, so it was nice to reread the classic. I loved her writing style! I remembered some points in the plot, but I didn't remember her fantastic writing. I know now that I need to read more by this author.
The story begins with a poor man who acquires a wife from among the slaves of a great house. She is a hard worker and they go through the ups and downs of life, from great poverty to great wealth. But, she isn't loved because of her big feet and lack of beauty. Her hard work contributes greatly to the wealth of the family. Women's issues are a major theme of the book. Set in rural China at the turn of the century, the story shows the humanity of all men and women. Nobel Prize Winner and Pulitzer Prize Winner.
Here is an example of her beautiful writing style. The author writes about O-lan breastfeeding:
"But out of the woman's great brown breast the milk gushed forth for the child, milk as white as snow, and when the child suckled at one breast it flowed like a fountain from the other, and she let it flow. There was more than enough for the child, greedy though he was, life enough for many children, and she let it flow out carelessly, conscious of her abundance....The child was fat and good-natured and ate of the inexhaustible life his mother gave him."
The story did keep me interested. I don't know if she used the writing style she did to convey the simplicity of Wang Lung, a poor farmer and his family or if she used the same style throughout all her books. I did find the sentence structure a bit awkward in spots so it didn't flow as smoothly as it might have, but there was enough historical reference to date the story to just before the Boxer Rebellion and through the Revolution of 1911.
I love novels that help me to experience a new culture, and the Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck took me on a thoroughly entertaining journey through early 20th-c China. We follow the lives of the hardworking but poor farmer Wang Lung, who marries the plain and thrifty slave O-Lan. Together, they set out on an adventure to improve their lives. But if they succeed, will they inevitably change from simple, industrious farmers to ape the idle lifestyles of the country's Ladies and Lords? This is the question at the heart of the novel. Drought, flood, locusts, starvation, robbers and hangers on assault Wang Lung and O-Lan's endeavours, but with their hard work, luck, and O-Lan's wiles, they survive and begin to prosper. That is when their real troubles begin, and the repercussions reverberate through their entire household.
Ms Buck paints a vivid picture of the struggles ordinary people had to endure in China at the time, and the opium induced stupor of the rich to the plight of their fellow citizens. The fact that the author spent most of the first half of her life in China (her Chinese name was Sai Zhenzhu ) also adds much credibility to the images her work evokes. I'll definitely be putting the rest of Ms Buck's novels set in China on my to read list.
The Good Earth by Pearl Buck is a fiction about a poor farmer, Wang Lung, who is blessed with a year of plentiful produce and buys land from the House of Hwang, a failing hierarchy. Once he gets a taste of his new found wealth, he desires things that he earlier would have thought pointless. Once rich and old, the only thing he desires is peace. Although Buck writes in a relatively simple style, she layers the story of Wang Lung with thoughtful ideas. This novel is about desires that come from riches and reveals that wealth has the potential to destroy family and traditional values. Buck stresses the importance of family and simplicity. The paragraphs that she does not employ to continue the plot, usually focus instead on little problems or adventures of Wang Lung, which I thought to be rich with culture and wisdom, making this book charming and captivating. I enjoyed reading about how Wang Lung's life improves tremendously, as he finds new wealth and as he buys items that make him and his family happy. However, Buck also causes the reader to feel pity and hatred when Wang spends his fortune foolishly. One flaw in the book that the reader could easily predict is that Wang Lung's relationships with his family and beloved land would soon weaken and he would end up facing similar problems to those of the House of Hwang. Through Wang Lung's life and adventures, Buck displays some of her own experiences growing up in the Chinese culture. Overall, The Good Earth is an enjoyable book that portrays an intriguing story of one character's journey to reach happiness.

Thanks for asking dLife.
When people with diabetes are sick or undergo a medical procedure, it can cause blood glucose levels to climb. Whenever possible, a post-hospital care plan is worked out in advance.
Typically we provide strategies for patients to adjust their food intake, diabetes medications, etc. during the recovery time period. When patients are not taking any diabetes medicines, they may be temporarily placed on a diabetes medicine to bring blood glucose within a safe range. It all depends on the time period that blood glucose levels are expected to remain high.
I suggest that you talk with your doctor about your concerns. Be sure to share the details of your elevated blood glucose readings. He or she understands your medical status and can provide the best treatment option.
Read about illness and injury.
Take care.

Online degree spam has been around for years. However, nowadays these spam campaigns aren't just limited to passing degree certificates (super fast - within days or weeks), but they also focus on directing recipients to specific degrees. For example, it is common knowledge that there is a shortage of qualified nurses in the US—there are many media reports on the subject. When we examined these attacks over the last six months, we found that spam campaigns for nursing degrees placed in the top five degrees promoted by spammers. Similarly, the shortfall of manpower has also been noticed in the field of law enforcement and accordingly, spammers are advertising more on this career option.
The top five degrees advertised through spam are:
1. Police Officer
2. Federal Agent
3. Nursing
4. Culinary Arts
5. Teacher
Other degree options provided and promoted outside of the top five are: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI), Ultrasound Technician, Pharmacy Technician, Radiology, Photography, Paralegal, and Medical Billing.
We also attempted to determine the frequently used words in the message headers:
1. From header: Most of the time this header will indicate an urgency along with obfuscations. "Needed" is the word that is monitored in these instances.
Photography Schools
2. Subject header: This header encourages a recipient to pursue a particular career.
Become a CSI !!!
Become a Ultrasound Technician
Become a Teacher
Become a Chef !!n
Advance your career as a Nurse
Go to school without paying out of pocket
You don't need money to become a Medical Assistant.
Scholarships are available for your training!
The text shown in bold is often exchanged in both the headers – Subject and From header. We have been effectively blocking these attacks and see no immediate threat to Symantec users.

I think you need to look at the bigger picture and add rfa to the list.
I think its pretty easy to see that Oduya or Hainsey will get moved. They are 3.5 and 4.5 mil cap hits.
Its easy to see that Kane and Pavelec will get raises and eat whatever is moved from Oduya or Hainsey.
I think Mason will get moved as well. and his 1.85 will be used for Wellwood, Slater and Glass
Its too bad buff has a 5 mil contract for 5 yrs. cause he is not a 5mil player. I don't see that being a movable contract either. i think that contract will hamper chevy.

Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- The Australian and New Zealand dollars are set for the biggest weekly declines against the yen in a month on concern European leaders will struggle to resolve the region's debt crisis.
The South Pacific currencies are poised to drop against the dollar this week after commodities prices fell, sapping demand for riskier assets. Demand for the so-called Aussie was supported after a report showed Australia's export prices gained in the third quarter.
"It is all about Europe, nothing else matters," said Kurt Magnus, executive director of currency sales in Sydney at Nomura Holdings Inc., Japan's biggest brokerage. "The market might be slightly short risk, short Aussie and short euro going into the weekend. The market is ready to be disappointed."
The Australian dollar traded at 78.45 yen as of 2:21 p.m. in Sydney from 78.58 yen yesterday in New York. It's set for a 1.8 percent weekly drop, the most since the week ended Sept. 23. The Aussie was at $1.0216 from $1.0228 yesterday, poised for a 1.2 percent decline this week.
New Zealand's currency, traded at 60.89 yen from 60.93 yen. It's on track to fall 2.1 percent this week, the most since the five-day period ended Sept. 23. The so-called kiwi bought 79.25 U.S. cents from 79.30.
The Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index of raw materials fell 1 percent yesterday, extending the loss for the week to 3 percent. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was little changed after falling 1.9 percent yesterday.
Europe Deadlock
European Union leaders, who are gridlocked on how to solve the region's sovereign debt crisis, will hold a second summit on Oct. 26, in addition to a meeting this weekend, in an effort to bridge differences between Germany and France.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy agreed to ask euro-area leaders to assess a "comprehensive and ambitious" package of measures to address the debt crisis this weekend in order to agree on the measures by Oct. 26, the German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said via e-mail.
European governments may deploy as much as 940 billion euros ($1.3 trillion) to contain the debt crisis by combining the temporary and planned permanent rescue funds, two people familiar with the discussions said.
Worst Performers
The New Zealand dollar fell 1.2 percent in the past week, the worst performer among the 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The Australian dollar is the second worst performer after dropping 0.8 percent over the same period.
The value of Australian exports rose in the three months through September, a government report showed today. The export price index advanced 4 percent from the second quarter, the Bureau of Statistics said in a report in Sydney today. Import prices were unchanged. Economists in a Bloomberg News survey forecast a 3.6 percent gain in exports and a 0.5 percent rise in imports.
"The prospects for the Australian dollar remain robust" over the medium term, Barclays Capital wrote in a report today. "Key supporting factors are likely to be positive interest rate differentials, elevated terms of trade and resilient economic growth in Asia."
Benchmark interest rates are 4.75 percent in Australia and 2.5 percent in New Zealand, compared with as low as zero in the U.S. and Japan, attracting investors to the South Pacific nations' higher-yielding assets. The risk in such trades is that currency market moves will erase profits.

Owner and CEO of the Indianapolis Colts Jim Irsay is suddenly no stranger to the "Quarterback Carousel" game that haunts many NFL teams.
For the first time in a very long time, he has had to evaluate this Draft class' top quarterback prospects after giving away the identity of his franchise, Peyton Manning. While it is widely expected that Irsay and company will ultimately select Stanford star Andrew Luck with the first overall pick, he recently made comments about Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill that would suggest the Vikings will at least receive some inquiries about the availability of the third overall selection.
Irsay's recent tweet said, "Tannehill is a hidden gem in this draft, a quiet secret who was always sneaking up to #3..you want him, you better talk to Zigi The Biggie!"
Former Colts G.M. Bill Polian also took to the airwaves to suggest that the path to Tannehill will run through the third overall selection. He predicted that the Miami Dolphins would trade up to the third spot giving the Vikings their eighth overall selection, their second rounder, and their third rounder to secure Tannehill.
Since trade speculation is starting to pick , Brett and I, who have somewhat different opinions on the topic, decided to create a debate post to start the conversation. We hope it will continue into the comments section with opinions from you all.
According to this post-lockout chart, the Vikings third overall selection is worth 401.3 points of value. The eighth overall pick (318 points), second round pick (159.1), and third rounder (119.4) total 596.5 as a package which suggests the Vikings would be getting the better end of the deal.
Okay, on to the debate!

Holy moly this was deeelicious! I cook vegan at home on a regular basis and am always on the hunt for dishes to serve my meat eater friends. The curry mixture is sweet, with a little bit of heat. I've been trying to make this flavor or curry for awhile and haven't been able to get that perfect sweet/heat ratio until now. Highly recommend!!

Entrepreneurs to offer advice to women at business conference
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Business Reporter email@example.com September 18, 2012 6:22PM
Laura Ricketts, Director of Chicago Cubs & Chairman of the Board, Chicago Cubs
Article Extras
Updated: October 20, 2012 6:20AM
Women entrepreneurs, who generate nearly $1.3 trillion in revenues nationally and employ nearly 7.7 million people, will be the focus at the Women's Business Development Center's 26th Annual Entrepreneurial Woman's Conference Thursday.
Chicago Cubs Co-Owner and director Laura Ricketts and Lisa Price, founder of the Carol's Daughter skin and hair care line, will be among entrepreneurs speaking at the event.
The day-long conference, which targets women looking to expand or launch businesses, will include a Women's Business and Buyer's Mart with more than 200 corporate and government representatives looking to do business with women-owned companies.
Pre-arranged one-on-one meetings with corporate and government purchasing decision makers and certified women-owned companies will take place along with workshops and roundtable discussions and an "Ask the Experts" session.
The conference takes place at a time women enterprises are having mixed experiences amid the economic recovery, according to center Co-President Hedy Ratner.
"I think the environment is improving," she said. "Women business owners are doing better, and they're hiring and they're growing," but some continue to struggle, she said.
"What I'm seeing is there are more and more women coming to the Women's Business Development Center. Established businesses are coming to get more help with capacity building, more help with access to capital, more help with contracting opportunities," she added.
Ricketts will speak at the conference forum breakfast along with panelists Christie Hefner, executive chairman of Canyon Ranch Enterprises and former chief executive officer of Playboy Enterprises; Sue Bhatia, CEO of Rose International; and Richelle Shaw, CEO of RTS Publishing. Chicago Sun-Times financial columnist Terry Savage will moderate the forum.
Price will deliver the keynote address at the Hall of Fame Awards luncheon. Carol's Daughter natural beauty products are used by celebrities, including Jada Pinkett-Smith, Rosie Perez and Halle Berry.
Women entrepreneurs play a vital role in the economy, Ratner said. Indeed, women-owned businesses in Illinois have grown from 239,725 in 1997 to an estimated 366,700 this year — a 53 percent increase, according to a report released earlier this year by American Express Open. The figures were based on U.S. Census bureau data. The businesses employ 327,300 people in the state and generate $55 billion in revenues, the report estimates. Nationally the number of business has grown from 5.4 million to an estimated 8.3 million.
Tickets for the conference are $300, which includes access to all conference events. Individual tickets for the forum breakfast, the luncheon and the buyers mart are $125.
The conference takes place at McCormick Place West, 2301 S. Indiana Ave. with registration opening at 7:30 a.m. For more information, visit www.wbdc.org.

For the first time since being assaulted by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in February, Rihanna is ready to speak out.
The singer will break her silence in a new interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday, a rep for Rihanna confirmed to Access Hollywood.
An extended interview will also be featured on Friday night's "20/20" on the network.
ABC began running commercials promoting the interview over the weekend and again on Monday morning during "The View."
Rihanna's first interview since the assault also coincides with the release of her new album, "Rated R," which will hit shelves on November 23.
Moreover, Rihanna has released the final track list for "Rated R." Lead single, "Russian Roulette," will be available for sale on iTunes on Tuesday, November 3 (see full track-listing below).
Rihanna's label also confirmed that the video for the album's second single, "Wait Your Turn," would premiere November 3 exclusively at Rihannanow.com.
Fans who pre-order the album will receive "Russian Roulette," instantly. Included in the iTunes edition of Rated R are special, exclusive director's cuts of the videos for "Russian Roulette" and "Wait Your Turn," both helmed by director Anthony Mandler.
While the singer has remained mum on the incident, Brown has spoken out several times on the attack, most recently in an October interview with New York Hot 97 DJ Angie Martinez, opening up about his lingering feelings for Rihanna.
"Feelings are feelings and they don't go away overnight, especially if you sit down and be like, 'Look, I'm [going to] really be in this relationship with you, past whatever the case, past our busy schedules, past us being two of the biggest artists.' I really care about her," he said.
A few days later, Brown posted a link on his Twitter page, linking to a user-created video montage of him and Rihanna over the years, set to R. Kelly's song, "The Way We Used to Be."
"IM SORRY YALL. JUST HAD TO POST IT," Chris said in a Tweet with a link to the video.
"FOR THE FELLAS: showing emotion doesn't make u weak," he wrote in another Twitter post. "BEING HONEST MAKES U STRONG."
The track listing for Rated R is as follows: 1. Mad House 2. Wait Your Turn 3. Hard featuring Jeezy 4. Stupid In Love 5. ROCKSTAR 101 featuring Slash6. Russian Roulette7. Fire Bomb8. Rude Boy9. Photographs featuring will.i.am 10. G4L 11. Te Amo12. Cold Case Love 13. The Last Song

Have you priced a gallon of gas lately? My Safeway store is about 5 miles away, so at $3.00 a gallon a 10 mile roundtrip is about two bucks! (Not even including my time)
^ Agreed. I don't think the 4.99 or 5.99 is overpriced when you consider the convenience as well as the cost of driving to rent a disc or going to the theater (and don't get me started on babysitter and food expenses).
I think it just boils down to Netflix is so freaking cheap, that the VOD options are expensive by comparison. For example, my average Netflix rental (disc+streaming) is 64 cents, according to Feedfliks.
I rent Vudu or Zune titles occasionally, but it's just hard to justify spending that much when I have 50+ titles in my Netflix instant queue sitting there. Yes the the PQ/AQ blows Netflix away and there's newer titles, it's hard for me to justify the additional 4 or 5 bucks over the budget option.
But I really don't think the price is unfair for what it is. Would be nice if it was a buck cheaper though.

NORFOLK-- The Cordish Companies are boosting its investment into Norfolk's Waterside from $28 million to $40 million according to City Manager Marcus Jones who briefed the city council Tuesday afternoon. .
The city council must approve the deal for it to proceed.
Mayor Paul Fraim said the city could sign the lease with Cordish Companies in the next couple of weeks. After that, Cordish Companies has two years to finish Waterside.
A public hearing is scheduled for August 27.
The city has been in on-going negotiations with the Cordish Company over giving the aging marketplace a facelift.
The highlights of the development include 1,000 new jobs, $93 million in direct revenue to the City of Norfolk over 30 years, $850,000 in new annual parking revenues, private sector investment of $28 to $38 million, and eliminating the current city general fund subsidy of $1.3 million annually.
Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim has said the new Waterside building may have a retractable roof, and would be transparent so people can always see the water through it.

First impressions make a lasting difference.
Lancaster is among large cities to small towns in South Carolina that have adopted facade improvement programs as an important element in downtown revitalization to grab the attention of potential patrons.

Though the year may be coming to a close, two murder cases in Lancaster are still very much open as investigators continue to seek leads.
For the families of Ronnel Chelvis Thompson and J'Quayl Frazier, both of whom were found shot to death in separate incidents this year, the wait for answers has been a long one.
Christopher Sardelli
A quartet of court cases, all involving notable homicides or attempted murders within the county, are all still pending, some almost two years after they were investigated by authorities.
Denyse Clark
The number of South Carolinians employed was at a record high of more than two million people during the month of November, according to data released by the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce on Dec. 19.
The overall situation was very good with the state's unemployment rate remaining at 6.7 percent from the month prior, said DEW Executive Director Cheryl Stanton.
Beatrice "Bea" Thompson, a local and nationally known radio and television personality, will be the grand marshal for the city of Lancaster's second annual "I Have A Dream Parade" and program scheduled for Jan. 17.
Christmas 2014 was a beautiful occasion in Lancaster County where, in the seventh week of donations to the Ward Faulkenberry Sr. Memorial Christmas Basket Fund, nearly $9,000 of the $10,000 goal has been collected.

Most families who live in public housing rarely have the opportunities that Housing Authority of Lancaster offers its residents through its Map to Success Family Literacy Program (MAP).

Instead of letting that Christmas tree take up space in a landfill, state natural resources officials suggest giving it a second life by putting it to good use for fish or wildlife.

REMNICK SEES THE FUTURE: What's on David Remnick's mind these days? In a video interview with Big Think, a Web start-up that marries high-profile interviews with social networking, The New Yorker editor in chief reflects on his childhood, his big breaks at The Washington Post and in Russia, and discusses the future of The New Yorker and of journalism in general. But he also admits he worries about whether The New Yorker is funny enough.
He recalls a lunch with 87-year-old New Yorker legend Roger Angell: "I said, 'You know, Roger, I've been doing this for a couple of years, and it's easier for me to get somebody to go sleep on the ground in Sudan and dodge bullets in Afghanistan than it is to get something authentically funny.' And he nodded and he said, 'Well, that's very interesting, because you are now the fifth editor of The New Yorker to tell me this, beginning with Harold Ross.'"
Remnick also spoke at length about the survival of newspapers. "I think newspapers are going to be with us in one form or another. They may just be completely on a screen. And if they're not, I'm conservative enough to think that's a gigantic tragedy....And all that said, I couldn't care less if it's no longer on paper. I mean, I have an atavistic affection for that, but even I at 49 see this as semiludicrous."
But he contrasted his own predicament with that of newspaper editors, speculating: "The best technology so far for reading a 14,000-word piece might be that thing you roll up, shove into your bag and take with you on the train that you can't with the Web. I don't see many people reading long New Yorker pieces on a PDA in the subway, or on commuter trains or airplanes." He added, "Now if you told me in 50 years The New Yorker won't be on paper, I wouldn't be shocked. I'd be sad, maybe. I don't think that's [going to be] the case but, again, prediction is the lowest form of human endeavor."
Still, The New Yorker is forging ahead with its digital strategy, albeit with great deliberateness. Remnick was philosophical about its prospects vis-à-vis the mission of the magazine itself, saying, "I don't think that just because we have a couple of little videos on our Web site, that's gonna be the salvation of The New Yorker. It's nice. It might be fun, but...I think there will always be readers." The full interview is at BigThink.com. — Irin Carmon

RUMOR: I'm Hearing Doom is all but gone...

I think his production loss will be felt, but can be somewhat offset by a rotation of guys like Ayers, Malik Jackson, a FA acquisition (Osi) and even utilizing Wolfe as an outside edge pass-rusher. It's better than being in Jets cap hell in a couple of years when we have to sign Von, DT, Decker etc.
Honestly, I'd even be OK if down the line we lose a Decker, or a Woodyard, because the nature of the modern NFL dictates that you will lose some players. You simply can't have an 80's 49ers Dynasty in the salary cap era.
People have to realize that this is about the future of the franchise. You have to look up your top 2-3 marque players. Unfortunately, Doom isn't a top 2-3 marque player for the Denver Broncos any longer. Doesn't mean he sucks, doesn't mean the team couldn't use him, but if we want to keep Von Miller as a Denver Bronco beyond his rookie contract, Elway will have to make him the highest paid front seven player in the league, period.
If we want to lock up Clady to a long term contract, he will be paid as a top 5 LT in the league.
Demaryius Thomas had a huge year. I think baring injury, he'll be better next season. Soon you will have to pay DT like a top 5 WR in the league.
It sucks, I wish they could find some way to trade him, but for the most part, league executives and GM's aren't stupid. They know Denver has next to no leverage to move Doom. They'll simply wait for him to get cut.
So if we are thinking rationally and looking to win Super Bowls in the next 2 years, why doesn't PM restructure la Elway did and help the team out? That way when PM leaves in 2-3 we don't have to blow everything up and start from scratch, but most importantly, it allows us to retain our own developed talent, and allows us to upgrade at the spots that would make us a solid bet for the SB.

Right after Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld's extravagant Metiers d'Art fashion show in Dallas featuring models wearing fringe, feathers and leather, he accepted Neiman Marcus' fashion award at its flagship store.
"Everything is bigger in Texas and Karl has finally found a place that thinks and acts on the epic scale that he does," Vogue editor Anna Wintour said during the ceremony. "Nowhere is his grand vision more evident than in his legendary fashion shows."
Lagerfeld accepted the Neiman Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion, the same award that brought Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel to Dallas in 1957. Lagerfeld, who also won the award in 1980 for his work at Chloe, is the only person who's been given the honor twice.
"We are beyond excited that the fashion world has converged on Dallas," said Karen Katz, president and CEO of Neiman Marcus.
Wintour said that in addition to being a fashion designer, he's also "a writer, a photographer, a linguist, a critic, an illustrator, a raconteur, a historian, a collector, a movie director, a brilliant ballroom dancer." She added that he's also a "genius" at decorating who "changes the look of his sensational houses as often as you and I change our shoes."
She said he's happiest at home with his cat, surrounded by his stacks of books, "sketching those beautiful, beautiful clothes for all of us to wear."
Stanley Marcus, son of one of the store's founders, established the award in 1938. It was given yearly through the 1960s, and awarded intermittently in later years. Marcus, who eventually led Neiman Marcus, was given the award in 1995. Other recipients have included Grace Kelly, Miuccia Prada, Bill Blass and Elsa Schiaparelli.

where Xm,c is the total payroll in the nonsampled portion of state m. Finally, as an analogue of the modified direct estimator,
Final Considerations and Discussion
Gershunskaya concluded her review of small-area estimation methods with a set of important considerations:
• It is important to plan for estimation for domains of interest at the design stage to ensure that one has direct estimates of some reliability to start off.
• Finding a set of good auxiliary variables is crucial for success in small-area modeling.
• Small-area estimation methods are based on assumptions, and therefore evaluation of the resulting estimates is vital.
• Using a statistical model supports a systematic approach for a given problem: (a) the need for explicitly stated assumptions, (b) the need for model selection and checking, and (c) the production of measures of uncertainty.
• It is important to account for the sample design (unequal probabilities of selection and clustering effects) in the model formulation and fitting.

Best Buy Co., Inc. announced changes in its leadership team to strengthen the company's global growth.
Darren Jackson, the company's chief financial officer for the past seven years and, more recently, CFO and head of the company's Emerging Business unit, has moved to the newly-created position of executive vice president, Customer Operating Groups.
Jim Muehlbauer has agreed to serve as Best Buy's interim CFO. Muehlbauer joined Best Buy in 2002 as the CFO of Musicland. Prior to that, Muehlbauer spent 10 years with The Pillsbury Company, where he held various senior-level finance management positions, including vice president and worldwide controller.
Kal Patel, formerly executive vice president, Strategy and International, assumes responsibility for portions of the Emerging Business unit, previously led by Jackson. In his new role, as executive vice president – Emerging Business SBU, Patel leads the company's efforts to initiate, incubate and implement growth opportunities while increasing the enterprise's capabilities for innovation. Patel joined Best Buy in 2003 as vice president, Strategy, and was named executive vice president, Strategy and International, in 2005.
Tim McGeehan, a 19-year veteran of Best Buy and current executive vice president, Retail Sales, has accepted a new enterprise role overseeing Best Buy Mobile and the enterprise's expanding global wireless business, through its relationship with The Carphone Warehouse Group PLC (CPW).
Shari Ballard assumes responsibility for the 872 Best Buy stores in the United States, including territory, district staff and store personnel, as well as customer research and development, including Best Buy's lab stores. Ballard, who has been with Best Buy since joining in 1993 as an assistant store manager, continues to have oversight for U.S. Web sites and Customer Care, including the call centers, duties she has held since August 2006.
Kevin Layden, president and chief operating officer of Best Buy Canada, Ltd., will become chief operating officer of Best Buy International, the strategic business unit focused on the enterprise's growth outside of the United States. In his new role, Layden will provide the operational leadership for the company as it continues to grow its presence in Canada and China and prepares to expand into Turkey and Mexico.
Mike Pratt will become president of Best Buy Canada, Ltd., with oversight of all Canadian operations, including the Future Shop and Best Buy stores, effective Jan. 4, 2008. He formerly was senior vice president for Best Buy Canada.

Wall Street is an unending source of legend - and nightmares. It is a universal symbol of both the highest aspirations of economic prosperity and the basest impulses of greed and deception. Charles R. Geisst's Wall Street is at once a chronicle of the street itself - from the days when the wall was merely a defensive barricade built by Peter Stuyvesant - and an engaging economic history of the United States, a tale of profits and losses, enterprising spirits, and key figures that transformed America into the most powerful economy in the world.
The audiobook traces many themes, like the move of industry and business westward in the early 19th century, the rise of the great Robber Barons, and the growth of industry from the securities market's innovative financing of railroads, major steel companies, and Bell's and Edison's technical innovations. And because "The Street" has always been a breeding ground for outlandish characters with brazen nerve, no history of the stock market would be complete without a look at the conniving of ruthless wheeler-dealers and lesser known but influential rogues.
This updated edition covers the historic, almost apocalyptic events of the 2008 financial crisis and the overarching policy changes of the Obama administration. As Wall Street and America have changed irrevocably after the crisis, Charles R. Geisst offers the definitive chronicle of the relationship between the two, and the challenges and successes it has fostered that have shaped our history.

"Many books in one; best linking of stories, eras"
I have read dozens of books in this genre. Yet, here I had many "gee whiz" moments, understanding in new ways (and sometimes clearly for the first time) how many of these dots connected between personalities, groups in society, financial innovations and eras, and various world players affecting, and affected by, Wall Street. The explanations are sensible and clear, and flow sensibly across time and through these overlapping factors. Many books have picked up some segment of this, and I have heard many of these stories in a fragmented way, but these fragmented books tended to wander into details that can lose the thread of important facts and ideas, or to start and stop at arbitrary points. Half a dozen segments here could be books in themselves.
As for the narration, at first I thought it a bit on the relaxed and plodding side, but as time has passed, I have found it very listenable, and able to hold my attention.

God rays, dynamic depth of field, night vision scopes & binoc, thermal/infrared scopes, rainbows, dynamic wet surfaces with reflections, and many other effects. SECOND PATCH RELEASED.
This one could be used for sleepiness/tiredness..?
Yeah, maybe. However I think the normal effect the game uses for that is already quite good. Thanks anyway.
Maybe when an explosion hits near you?
Way too much vodka :)
Waking up after sleeping pills maybe.
A collection of effects I ported from different sources into ShoC. So far there is no plan if and when to use them in-game. Suggestions for possible applications are welcome.

Funko has announced they are releasing a line of Marvel Classic X-Men figures for your head-bobbling pleasure.Read More
We all knew this was coming when Ashley Eckstein tweeted out a teaser of that Captain America hoodie yesterday, but now it's official: Her Universe has just released an all-new line of Marvel clothing!Read More
It's official: Matthew Vaughn, director of Kick-Ass and Stardust, is at the helm of X-Men: First Class, the reboot of the X-Men movie franchise. This new prequel film (a long the same world-exploring lines as Wolverine: Origins) will "chart the epic beginning of the X-Men saga," which probably means Professor X and Magneto as young rebellious allegory-for-civil-rights-leaders.
This dashes our dreams of watching a movie where the X-Men sit at the front of an airplane for two and a half hours, enjoying complementary drinks.Read More
As far as superheroes go, the big studios tend to favor the ones that come with the most CGI, the biggest explosions, and the most renown. It's easier to get a studio to pour billions of dollars into a movie if the average person on the street has heard of the main character, Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America, or the X-Men, for example. Big heroes, for big money.
According to CHUD.com, Marvel is experimenting to see if this is a true x=y equation: maybe smaller money could work for smaller characters. We don't mean like the Atom or Henry Pym -
Well, actually we do.Read More

The author should. The UA, afaict, can't, which is why we have crazy heuristics. :) ~fantasaiReceived on Friday, 12 August 2011 06:31:55 GMT

Hi all,
I have a spare Dell PowerEdge 2850, I want to have a play with virtualisation set-up a couple of virtual machines and if they work well connect them to the network. What would be the best/free way of doing this?
We are an RM CC3 school and one of the things I want to use one of the virtual machines for is as a SmoothWall server etc.
Can anyone give me any help or any tips on what to use the server for?
Many thanks
