Roll Call, Monday Jan. 1 2013
Hope you all have a fabulous New Year.
January 1 is Tuesday, Linda, but hopefully everyone will check in on this first day of 2013. :D Anyone else going to be 70.5 this year like DH and have to start figuring out required min distributions based on yesterday's values?
Math was never our strong suit:down:
Well happy new year everyone, and may this year be significantly better than last year.
Oops, sorry about that. Sheesh!! :stars:
From What I understand those of us old enough to take that money from our distributions, it's a minimum of of $5,000 a year.
Forgot to put the money on the porch last night.
Oh well.
Woke with a bad headache and it is so cold. I just noticed it is raining.
bbl after the time passes so I can make my coffee.
Lots of booms from fire works last night but too cold to go outside and look.
Have a great day everyone and wishing all of us a stellar 2013.
I ended up being awake at midnight but didn't know it till about 12:30. I was reading and was hoping to end this book but didn't quite make it!
This week will be a good week to try to start the Downton Abby dvd's. I know I will love it just finding the time when I'm not too tired to enjoy it.
Going to rain today. Poor Maggie hasn't been outside in a week. She is getting a little stir crazy.
Good Morning!
Surprise, surprise! I stayed up (in bed) til after midnight. Watched CNN's show from ten p.m. and saw the beautiful ball drop. I don't know how all those people can be standing out in the crowded cold temps for hours. Quite a display at all the big cities all over the world.
Somewhere, close to my neighborhood, I heard fireworks going off til after midnight. Only some states allow it on New Years Eve.
Strangely, at the stroke of midnight, I started to cry (silently). Never had that emotion before.
Happy New Year all...............
A gorgeous sunny day already, 64 degrees, going up to the 70s. It is 0 degrees in our town in Iowa.
Had a really good time last night, dance started at 8:30 and we stayed thru midnight. I love being somewhere at midnight where I can hear and sing Auld Lang Syne, with a glass of champagne of course. It was neat seeing everyone hug (Canadians/Americans and we sat with a lady from Cuba.) Great night.
Taking down the few decorations that we have up and putting away till next year. I'm also going to cook up my black eyed peas with ham. Other than that it appears to be a quiet day for us.
DH likes to watch the Rose Bowl parade, I can't say I'm with him on that, I'd much rather be there and smell all those flowers. I'm sure TV doesn't do it justice.
Julie, I most always shed a tear at midnight, maybe it's a "Yankee" thing. :)
Begete, can't help you with that problem, math isn't my strong suit either.
Happy New Years to all.
Really was fun at the casino that late,felt strange to be out that late.The place was not packed.Guess if I made resolutions it would be to go out more.After I go I feel good it's just the getting dressed an going that I hate.
The credit union just sends a check,they figure out the least amount,the other places C. goes to,gets the money and reinvest it.
Cooking my b-eyes now.Got to wrap Christmas gifts later as I didn't get the gifts till yesterday,more to come Wed. I hope.I just let them choose what they wanted on Amazon and have it shipped here.
Raining here very ugly day.
Happy New Years to all.
I did manage to stay awake until about 11PM. Fell asleep for the New Year and woke up around 3 and could not stay asleep after that.
Had a nice evening at my friends house and played some Michigan Rummy.
Begete, the laws on withdrawals change a frequently and the older you get the less you have to take. I have been drawing on it for about 2 years now. I would get advice unless you are familiar with your tax laws including your state laws.
Plan on taking DS and his family out to eat today.
Cloudy, damp & chilly this morning. I need some sunshine to get me moving!
Babysat last night until 1:30am so I'm sort of groggy today. One of my goals for this year (I hate to call them resolutions) is to get on a better sleep schedule. I only have to get up 3 days a week, but sleeping late the other 4 days is causing me problems. So I'm aiming for 11:30pm to 7:30/8 am every day now. I also want to find something to do on my days off besides sitting on the couch fooling around on the laptop-like I am now, lol.
Begete-My dad's bank tells him the minimum distribution he needs to take. I don't think he's ever had to figure it out himself.
Lainey-I forgot to do the money thing also. I thought about trying to sneak back out, and throw the money in, then I realized how ridiculous that was, trying to out-smart a superstition!:o
Happy New Year! I've got the pork and kraut cooking. It was never in my family tradition to make black eyed peas. I'm not sure I've ever eaten them. My mother was from the south too. I'd never heard of that custom until I came here to this board. What does it signify? I'm getting hungry now.
Verleen, For your reading pleasure -
Black-Eyed Peas - A Southern Tradition for Luck and Prosperity in the New Year
By Sheridan Alexander, About.com Guide
".... Today, the tradition of eating black-eyed peas for the New Year has evolved into a number of variations and embellishments of the luck and prosperity theme including:
•Served with greens (collards, mustard or turnip greens, which varies regionally), the peas represent coins and the greens represent paper money. In some areas cabbage is used in place of the greens.
•Cornbread, often served with black-eyed peas and greens, represents gold...."
I never heard of them either. Until my next door neighbor moved in and started bringing us all the black eyed peas for new years. She just brought some in. Not to my taste at all. She's from Missouri.
The following is what one of my ex-neighbors put on FB!! Eewww!!!
Now getting ready to sit down to our traditional new years day lunch...hog jowl, black eye peas, rice, collard greens and corn bread
Happy New Year, friends.
We didn't stay up, but I woke up at 12:09 due to fireworks set off around here somewhere, and over yonder in another tiny town, Taylorsville, lol.
Ginny, what fun, to go out and still do adult stuff, ha ha ha!!
Julie, I can understand the silent weeping, you are not alone in that, I'm certain..........but bet you have people to yak with today.
I like the hoppin' John recipe, but no one else does, so don't make it, did for a few years though. Cracker Barrel is offering a free serving of black eyed peas to anyone, today.............too bad we don't have such a restaurant in California.
Waving at you ALL, fixing hot dogs for supper tonight, and left over cabbage rolls for dh's lunch. Washing dishes, riding the bike, the usual, but glad to still be able to do it.
Have a pleasant day, it's 14 degrees and you can freeze your dickens off here, I'm going to look to buy a furry bra I think, could really use one.
Good morning, good afternoon and Happy New Year to all. Didn't go to bed 'til 11:30 and was reading when the midnight hour hit, the fireworks exploded and scardey dog looked to me for comfort. So grabbed her and stuffed her under the covers and covered her ears until the shaking quieted. Fortunately, it wasn't that long and she was able to go back to sleep. New Year's traditions are usually fun but I sure don't like the fireworks.
Enjoyed my dinner last night and am now looking forward to the lucky meal...I will make hoppin' john from the peas. It is funny how we've adopted the "poor man's" meal as a tradition across the board...I'm kind of surprised that boiled peanuts didn't make it onto the table as well. As for the hog jowls, my mother's family to paraphrase an old saw, "used everything but the squeal." One year, when I was seven, a neighbor decided to raise a pig for the 4-H and when it came time to slaughter they had no idea what to do. Momma came to the rescue and we had half a hog that winter and, oh, the stories I heard while we were cutting and grinding.
Hope you all have a good day...stay warm.
No fireworks here. I read that the city of Johnstown had them somewhere. But too cold for me to go out.
There was no way I would raise a pig and then slaughter it. I'd stick it onto the back of my bike and head for the border. It's too bad those pigs taste so good.
I snuck a bit of pork and kraut and ate it. Don't tell Rich. He's already in a dither. The door mechanisms on our car keep freezing and I think he broke the mechanism. He's truly a disaster to have around. Something doesn't work. So he breaks it. Now it has a reason not to work.
I think I'll skip the black eyed peas. I'll take the green stuff over coins any day. :laugh:
WOW, never heard that the corn bread was Gold!
Sure will mix up the Jiffy Packet and fry up a big batch of corn bread to eat and for the freezer. I skip the rice in the black eyed peas but do cook them in ham and add hot sauce (Texas Pete) to them on my plate. Collards in another fry pan with ham. My little chicken is roasting breast side down with orange slices/salt/ pepper in the cavity and sweet taters/ onions/ peppers under the roasting pan rack. All is sprayed to high heaven with orig. Pam- or coated nicely I should say.
Now to get some stuff done while all cooks its self to perfection- HA, I am just a cheap imitation to my Mom's kitchen perfection.
Julie...that sounds like a great meal to my southern girl tastes...what I was raised on and not just on New Years Day...
My kids are gone. Whew. I'm exhausted...going to shower and have my pjs on early and NAP...
Happy New Year! Everyone
I continued on my decluttering binge. I finished my bedroom, it feels so good. Went for a walk with DH this afternoon.
Begete, I work for a 401k retirement services company. When it is the year in which you turn 70.5, you get to choose when you want to take the RMD. You can actually take it as late as April 1 of next year. But then next year you would have to also take the one for 2014 by 12/31/2014. So you could get two checks in 2014 if you postpone the first year. They are calculated on the balance in the account as of the year before. That is multiplied by a life cycle number off a table that the IRS publishes. These days it is all computed automatically and is correct so long as they have your correct account balance and correct date of birth. The problem for seniors is if they don't take it by the end of each year ( except first year), there may be a 50% penalty in excise taxes on the amount. So it is really important to take it. There is no minimum amount, it is all relative to your account balance. If your spouse is less than 10 yrs younger than you, the company needs to know that too as it changes the factor used in calculating the amount.

Drunk driving is nine times more likely to kill you than drugged driving according to a new study published in The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. Read More
Drunk driving is nine times more likely to kill you than drugged driving according to a new study published in The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. Read More
We could also use the money for loans and grants for taxi company start ups, or even to subsidize them so that the cost is cheaper, making it more economical to take a taxi then to drive.
This is a rather specious claim. Conventional drug testing does not tell us whether someone is under the influence (or when they were), and other than alcohol, we have absolutely no idea how much of any drug it takes to impair driving for the average person. Add to that the fact that testing for drugs is nowhere near as common as roadside drunk tests/hand-held breathalyzers, and we really have absolutely no idea how many MVA fatalities are caused by drug use.
The original study controlled for the things you are objecting to. Data came from states where 80% or more of drivers involved in fatalities were drug tested, and alcohol levels as low as 0.01 were included. The study was very well conducted and controlled.
This is seriously what you consider "well conducted and controlled"? Seriously? First of all, what about all those states that DIDN'T have "drug information on 80% or more of the drivers who also participated in the 2007 National Roadside Survey"? But most importantly, the data from the NRS itself is complete garbage, and to use THAT as the 'control' group is ludicrous - participation in that survey is VOLUNTARY and relies on drivers being diverted off the road by police to voluntarily supply information that could get them arrested. Add to all that the fact that the presence of ANY alcohol was used as a criteria - even a BAC of .001. A BAC of .001 in no way impairs driving and was in no way related to the MVA, making that information about as valuable as measuring the risk of being involved in a fatal accident with green eyes. Finally, a positive drug screen in no way proves that drug use contributed to the accident, as I have already said (and no "controls" in this study can correct for) - especially since most common drug tests measure metabolites of the drug, not the drug itself, they can not measure how much of the drug was ingested nor how long ago it was taken, and there simply IS no data for what level of cocaine/methamphetamine/heroin/etc. causes a certain level of impairment, compared to the data we have for alcohol. Sorry, Kenneth, but I stand by my original claim: It is a completely specious claim.
You are entitled to your opinion. I guess the peer reviewers who approved the paper for publication felt differently.
And I thank the good lord every day I was educated in a program that taught us not to blindly accept crap just because it gets published.
There's a reason why journals on't just publish the abstracts, why a methodology section is required - so readers can evaluate the validity of the conclusions for themselves, not just act like sheep and accept them because the peer reviewers had some pages to fill. If you can't understand the methodological issues involved in basing conclusions on the ratio between drug test results of drivers involved in fatal accidents (read: "apples") to the results of a VOLUNTARY (as in NOT RANDOM) program such as the NRS (read: "oranges"), then you have no business citing the research. Doubly so since you evidently can't understand how the data is skewed in a blatantly misleading and self-serving way by defining "drunk driving" as ANY alcohol in the person's system.
I hope you are not implying that agencies of the United States government are wasting funds on studies that have no meaning and do nothing to help us combat the sometimes catastrophic dangers of drunk driving.
That would be wasteful and stupid. Surely the United States would not do anything to undermine its citizens confidence in their elected representatives or to lessen the credibility of serious addiction/drug abuse researchers who are attempting to solve a very complicated and serious problem.
Our government is here to help us, right?
Driving under the influence of alcohol is JUST AS DANGEROUS as driving under the influence of ANY OTHER DRUG! Being "under the influence" is BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE! The "flavor" of the drug (liquid, solid, or gas!) DOES NOT MATTER! The only reason that 90% of DUI arrests are alcohol related is because: 1.) Alcohol puts out this thing called ODOR that is easily detectable by law enforcement pulling over a suspected DUI offender, and 2.) there are these places called "bars", "nightclubs", etc. where ALCOHOL IS CONSUMED ON SIGHT, they have PARKING LOTS, and idiot alcohol consumers who have LEGAL ACCESS TO MOTOR VEHICLES, drive away from them after consuming alcohol in the bar/nightclub (anyone noticing the pattern yet?). I have been a DUI program counselor in CA for over 10 years now. 90% of the clients I have come across get nailed for ALCOHOL-BASED DUI (the remaining 10% are usually gacked-out on prescription pills, or heroin, or even meth!). Until cops wise-up, and start figuring out how to test for ingestion of non-alcoholic drugs, those "10%ers" WILL CONTINUE TO DUI, and get away with it!
If it was any drug, then why are we not testing for caffeine? Or anti-psychotics?
Alcohol, because of the way it effects the brain, has a distinct impairment on the functions necessary for heavy machinery operation. Opioids have a similar effect because of its depressant nature, and I would be interested to see a comparative study between alcohol and opioids in terms of operational impairment.
However, none of this matters in terms of the policy directions Mr. Anderson is speaking of. An increase in pubic transportation would be a better way of dealing with DUI's then by forcing offenders into expensive "classes" that convince the offender they are suffering form a disease that will only make them worse...which can lead to the offender re-offending because of their new found belief that they can't stop themselves from re-offending!
Here in CA, the DUI law is SO BROAD, that "any drug" is included, INCLUDING caffeine, nicotine, and ALL prescription medications (and NO "impairment level" of ".08" is stated for a "DUI level" to be reached either!). Anti-alcohol DUI's get all the bad press because easily 90% of DUI's that people get arrested for ARE for DUI of alcohol! But it is technically easier to get a DUI for driving "under the influence of" caffeine, nicotine, or ANY medication (prescription or over the counter!). Having been in the DUI education field for over 10 years, I assure you, I NEVER taught any client that they had some bullshit "disease" that will only be made worse! They were taught that it was THEIR RESPONSIBILITY for what THEY put into their bodies, and that THEY made each and every decision to do so! Public transportation does NOT solve the problem of sociopathic drug and alcohol users having UNRESTRICTED ACCESS to motor vehicles, to their continuing to drive under the influence with them, and to their continuing to drive with impunity until they get caught! Not to mention also, the fact that here in CA, it is EASIER to have your vehicle IMPOUNDED for driving SOBER on a suspended license, vs. getting nailed for DUI, kinda puts all the vehicle access odds on the DUI offender! DUI numbers are NOT going down! The number of offenders in DUI programs is NOT going down! Nor are DUI offenders unrestricted access to motor vehicles!
It sort of implies that most people in America will drink to levels that would impair them. I tend to think you are right.
If alcohol did not alter mood very few people would drink it. We don't drink for the flavor, soda pop is better tasting than beer (do a taste test with some 4 year olds if you don't believe that statement) we drink for the ETOH. Ethyl alcohol passes the blood- brain barrier and alters our perception of reality in a pleasant way. That is what we drink alcohol for. To be impaired (or enhanced, depending on if you have an alcohol problem or not).
Thanks for this blog, and thanks for having it hosted on a mainstream/credible site. Americans need to stop listening to politicians when it comes to their health. They probably should stop listening to Hollywood too.
Good distribute Certainly. Thank you associated with discussing.
It can take a radical reboot to get past old hurts and injustices.

Update: Charges against attorney tied to condo price inflation
Written by Bill Barlow Thursday, July 19, 2012 03:01 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
The arrest of Lower Township Public Defender Seth Fuscellaro, 39, of Wildwood Crest Thursday morning was part of a sweep that included 11 arrests in five states, according to the office of the United States AttorneyŌĆÖs New Jersey district.
The federal government is alleging that Fuscellaro was involved in a $15 million mortgage fraud, including phony documents and ŌĆ£straw buyersŌĆØ to make illegal profits on overbuilt condominiums.
At the core of the charges is an alleged scheme to inflate the value of overbuilt condominiums, according to authorities, primarily in North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest, but also elsewhere in the state and in Naples, Fla.
In an official statement on the charges, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman alleges that one defendant attempted to murder a witness.
Fuscellaro, who has served as LowerŌĆÖs public defender for about two months, was taken out of Lower Township Municipal Court in handcuffs. As of Thursday afternoon, he was in federal custody and expected to appear in federal court in Camden.
All 11 defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to officials.
In addition to Fuscellaro, the 10 other defendants include Willie W. Richardson, 64, of Bloomfield; Sean A. Souels, 42, of Philadelphia; Nancy E. Wolf-Fels, 55, of Toms River,; Deborah L. Hanson, 49, of Voorhees; Larry L Fullenwider, 61, of Millburn; and Angela L. Celli, 41, of Somerset, Mass. According to the indictment, Celli was also a Realtor in North Wildwood with Century 21 Alliance. All are in federal custody following their arrests this morning by special agents of the FBI and IRSŌĆōCriminal Investigation.
Dwayne K. Onque, 44, of Belleville, surrendered to authorities this morning, according to federal officials. Timothy D. Ricks, 44, of East Orange, N.J.; and Orlando Allen, 47, of Fayetteville, Ga., are expected to surrender to federal authorities later today.
Kinard J. Henson, 40, of Ventress, Ala.,was already in federal custody in Alabama.
Ricks, Henson, Richardson, Allen and Onque are charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering. Henson also is charged with the attempted murder of a straw buyer who was a witness to the mortgage fraud scheme.
ŌĆ£According to the indictment, these defendants created false documents and used straw buyers to convince lenders to give them $15 million for properties that were worth far less,ŌĆØ said Fishman in a prepared statement. ŌĆ£Members of the scheme were willing to launder money ŌĆō and even to kill ŌĆō in order to get their hands on the profits and cover their tracks. This case illustrates not only the seriousness of mortgage fraud, but also our focus on eliminating the criminal element from our markets to protect the health of our wider economy.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Ricks and his co-conspirators located oceanfront condominiums overbuilt by financially distressed developers to purchase, negotiating a buyout price with the sellers of the properties,ŌĆØ reads a statement from federal authorities.
They then caused the sales prices for the properties ŌĆō located in Wildwood Crest and North Wildwood, other locations in New Jersey and in Naples, Fla. ŌĆō to be much higher than the buyout price to ensure large proceeds.
The feds say Celli and Fuscellaro helped conceal the true sales prices of certain properties through inflated sales contracts and sale and finder fee agreements. Ricks, Henson, Allen, and Souels then recruited straw buyers, such as Fullenwider and Onque, to purchase those properties at the inflated rates.
ŌĆ£The straw buyers had good credit scores but lacked the financial resources to qualify for mortgage loans. The conspirators created false documents such as fake W-2 forms, pay stubs, bank statements and investment statements to make the straw buyers appear more creditworthy than they actually were in order to induce the lenders to make the loans,ŌĆÖ reads a statement on the charges.
To prepare the straw buyersŌĆÖ false loan applications, Ricks and his conspirators caused fraudulent mortgage loan applications in the name of the straw buyers, including the supporting documents, to be submitted to mortgage brokers ŌĆō including Wolf-Fels and Hanson ŌĆō that the brokers knew were false, attributing to the straw buyers inflated income and assets. Once the loans were approved and the mortgage lenders sent the loan proceeds in connection with real estate closings on the properties, Ricks and his conspirators took a portion of the proceeds, having funds wired or checks deposited into various accounts they controlled. They also distributed a portion of the proceeds to other members of the conspiracy for their respective roles.
Henson learned of a subpoena seeking documents in connection with a straw buyerŌĆÖs purchases of real estate properties shortly after it was served by federal law enforcement agents on a mortgage brokerage firm. Henson, who had recruited the straw buyer, contacted another individual to kill the straw buyer, according to federal authorities. They then allegedly lured the straw buyer to a wooded area in Mobile, Ala. At HensonŌĆÖs direction and using HensonŌĆÖs firearm, the other individual shot the straw buyer multiple times, officials say.
The wire fraud conspiracy charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The money laundering conspiracy charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The bureau selects Great Pioneers from nominations received from members of the profession. Candidates are nominated based on the significant contributions they have made to the profession, especially accomplishments that were the first of their kind within osteopathic medicine, or that were directly responsible for the growth of the profession.
George will receive the Great Pioneers medal during the AOA's annual convention and scientific seminar Nov. 3 in New Orleans.

List Price: $24.95Publisher: MIT PressBinding: HardcoverPages: 352Size: 8.25" wide x 9.25" long x 1.25" tall Weight: 2.838Language: English
In The Museological Unconscious,Victor Tupitsyn views the history of Russian contemporary art through a distinctly Russian lens, a "communal optic" that registers the influence of such characteristically Russian phenomena as communal living, communal perception, and communal speech practices. This way of looking at the subject allows him to gather together a range of artists and art movementsfrom socialist realism to its "dangerous supplement," sots art, and from alternative photography to feminismas if they were tenants in a large Moscow apartment. Describing the notion of "communal optics," Tupitsyn argues that socialist realism does not work without communal perceptionwhich, as he notes, does not easily fit into crates when paintings travel out of Russia for exhibition in Kassel or New York. Russia, he writes, went through an immense "optical restructuring" in the 1930s, in which viewers of art were "communalized." This restructuring (and the effect it had on Soviet cultural mentality) is the leitmotif that runs through the book, as Tupitsyn discusses such topics as the history of alternative Russian art, the communal conceptualism of the 1970s and 1980s (epitomized by Ilya Kabakov and Andrei Monastyrsky), the iconoclastic sots art movement (the best known practitioners of which are the artistic team of Komar and Melamid), the different art worlds of Moscow and St. Petersburg (the "aesthetics of transparency" versus the "aesthetics of a blind spot"), the "creative violence" of the telesniks, and the relationship among different generations of "nonconformists." Russian artists, critics, and art historians, having lived for decades in a society that ignored or suppressed avant-garde art, have compensated, Tupitsyn claims, by developing a "museological unconscious"the "museification" of the inner world and the collective psyche.

Type 2: Native-API/partly Java driver
by, 04-27-2012 at 07:59 PM (2599 Views)
JDBC driver type 2 -- the native-API/partly Java driver -- converts JDBC calls into database-specific calls for databases such as SQL Server, Informix, Oracle, or Sybase. The type 2 driver communicates directly with the database server; therefore it requires that some binary code be present on the client machine.
Type 2 drivers typically offer significantly better performance than the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
The vendor database library needs to be loaded on each client machine. Consequently, type 2 drivers cannot be used for the Internet. Type 2 drivers show lower performance than type 3 and type 4 drivers.

InfoWorld review: Visual Studio 2010 delivers
A no-brainer upgrade for Microsoft-oriented developers, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 marks a major advance in functionality and ease
As a daily user of Visual Studio from its inception, and of Visual C++ and Visual InterDev before that, I have been following the evolution of Microsoft's development environment quite closely. In the Visual Studio 2010 IDE, Microsoft has taken several large steps away from its legacy code. That was a gutsy and potentially risky move on the part of the Visual Studio team, but one that worked out well and will lay the foundation for future product growth.
Visual Studio 2010 is a major upgrade in functionality and capability from its predecessor. It includes some major rewriting of core features, as well as many new features. Developers, architects, and testers will all find areas where the new version makes their jobs easier. Despite the higher pricing for this version, most serious Microsoft-oriented shops will upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 and never look back.
[ Also on InfoWorld: See Martin Heller's Strategic Developer blog for a scrolling tour of Visual Studio 2010 highlights and ongoing coverage of Microsoft development technologies. ]
Raising the bar for IDEs
The most obvious large step is revamping the core editing and designer views to use the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). I covered this and the related improvements in the UI and debugger in my review of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1. Initially there were some performance penalties associated with this, but now almost everything I do in the Visual Studio 2010 IDE happens faster than it would in Visual Studio 2008, even columnar text selection. I particularly like the navigation improvements in the code editor. Both the "Navigate to" and "Call Hierarchy" features have proven invaluable to me recently as I learned a large C++ code base.
Another obvious large step is to revamp IntelliSense and start to support Test-Driven Development (TDD). As I discussed in my reviews of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, IntelliSense has been redesigned, the easily corrupted IntelliSense .NCB file has been eliminated, and the whole system has become more sensible about offering to do what you might actually want instead of cavalierly completing your typing with irrelevancies. At this point, Visual Studio 2010 is usable for test-driven development (TDD), although I wouldn't yet call it a real TDD-oriented system. For me, that would require another view of a project that emphasized a Red, Green, Refactor development cycle.

Just as the surrounding Theater District transports audiences to faraway places, Brazil Grill's dining room immerses guests in the rich culinary traditions of Brazil. Though it boasts a substantial selection of entrees, the eatery's specialty is radizio, a traditional Brazilian dining style where passadores, or meat servers, present diners with an endless rotation of skewered morsels. Patrons can nosh to their hearts' content on beef, pork, lamb, duck, and the other meats that continually appear tableside during the course of the night. To complement the authentic dishes, servers can also recommend options from the restaurant's selection of wines culled from Chile, Italy, and New Zealand. Most nights, guests eat as they absorb the sounds of live Brazilian music, the play-by-play of Brazilian League soccer matches, or napkins practicing their Portuguese accents.
Brazil Brazil Restaurant spirits diners away from the helter-skelter streets of New York City into a space rife with french doors, exposed brick, and blond hardwood. Its back patio?a white-trellised three-seasons room and kind of solarium?surrounds guests with lush flora and wrought-iron furniture that exudes the feeling of the tropics, with the scents of grilling seafood wafting over the secluded tables.
This spot is one of the best places to relax in the city, with the New York Times even lauding the patio as a ?romantic retreat? and ?an ideal place to escape the city?s rapid pace.? Chefs plate flavorful Brazilian dishes such as wine-marinated shrimp or pan-seared red snapper in mango sauce with sides of yucca and fried bananas. Late in the evenings, a Brazilian band starts serenading guests lounging in the bar?s cushy sofa chairs, creating a festive atmosphere. Located next to a host of Broadway theaters, the bistro is a great pre-show spot for on-the-go eaters.
New York City is a long way from the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil, and the wait staff at Churrascaria Tribeca certainly don't live the rough-and-tumble lives of gauchos—Brazilian ranchers who gathered around wood-burning fires after hard days' work to slow cook prime meats. But don't let these discrepancies fool you. Hunks of bare prime meat are still slow cooked above wood fires at this Brazilian steak house, a faithful nod to the gauchos of days past. And the waiters still carry knives in their belts, which they unsheathe at diners' requests—via the flip of a colored coaster—to shave off perfectly tender cuts of beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. Every day, amid a parade of skewered meats, waiters march out a specialty dish, such as a roasted suckling pig towed by cart from table to table. To enjoy this spectacular parade of slow-cooked meats, it's best to have a ravenous appetite—which is trickier than it may first seem. Each meal begins with unlimited visits to the banquet-style buffet and salad bar, where a veritable garden's worth of vegetables, salads, and seasonal casseroles await. During meals, waiters continuously replenish sides such as fried plantains, mashed potatoes, and cheese bread, and every meal ends with the appearance of a dessert cart full of sweet and decadent treats made in-house.
There's no questioning Berimbau chef Carlos Inacio's intimate connection to the cuisine of Brazil when you scan his menu, a focused collection of dishes rich with traditional ingredients such as calabresa sausage, yucca, and seafood. He hails from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, an area known for its "stellar cuisine," according to New York magazine, which also lauded Berimbau as a "pioneer" among NYC Brazilian restaurants. Berimbau is far from a common rodízio steakhouse, although there's no lack of pork or steak on the menu. But instead of all-you-can-eat feasts, patrons select elegant presentations of distinctive dishes, such as fraldinha, grilled skirt steak served with yucca purée, sautéed collard greens, and creamy hearts-of-palm sauce. Chef Carlos continues to position his homeland's food in a fresh, colorful context through dishes such as risotto with asparagus, sautéed shrimp, and cilantro butter. Berimbau's wine list has been curated with pairing in mind, and the white, sparkling, and red wines—categorized as either Old World or New World—add grace notes that perfectly emphasize the potpourri of Brazilian flavors. But the beverages of choice here are the caipirinhas—Brazilian cocktails that can be mixed with passionfruit, strawberry, coconut, mango, or lime.
Though it's steps down from street level, the dining room at Circus Restaurante maintains a sunny air. Perhaps it's the circus-themed art, the lemon yellow seats, the bossa nova floating through the room that give the space its warm and tropical feel. No matter, because drifting from the kitchen are the scents of garlic and herbs, coconut and lime?all signs that delicious Brazilian cuisine is on its way. Shortly after opening, the New York Times claimed, "Circus serves the food your mother might cook if you were raised in Sao Paulo or Bahia."
The Food
Here are some classic Brazilian dishes to which Circus's kitchen gives a nouvelle cuisine touch.
Dining at Churrascaria Plataforma is a ritual. Each prix-fixe meal begins with a "first course" that requires restraint not to overdo, since it consists of a banquet-style buffet that features four different casseroles and countless delicacies. When diners are ready to move on, they flip a coaster-sized chip from its red side to its green side. This not only proves the other side isn't made of sweet, sweet chocolate, it also signals the restaurant's meat cutters to bring over the prime beef, which they carve tableside and pass out on skewers. During this main course period, servers also bring the fish of the day and slice off hunks of the whole roasted suckling pig that winds through the dining room on a cart each night. Finally, the dessert cart arrives bearing chocolate fudge truffles and coconut flan. This rodizio dining style, which originated in southern Brazil in the 19th Century, has a fitting accompaniment: bossa nova and samba music play throughout the meal.

Pro: Minimum wage doesn't provide families 'livable wage'
For several ministers in the SeaTac area, signing on to support Proposition 1, which would raise the minimum wage there to $15 an hour, was an easy decision. Many of the people working for the now minimum wage of $9.19 use the churches' food banks.
Seattle Times staff reporter
SeaTac Proposition 1
Minimum wage: Raises the hourly minimum standard for hospitality and transportation workers to $15 from the current statewide minimum of $9.19. Annual increases would be tied to inflation and take effect each January.
Paid sick leave: Guarantees at least one hour of paid sick time for every 40 hours worked. Employers must pay workers a lump sum at the end of each year for any unused sick time.
Tip protection: Requires all mandatory service charges go to nonmanagerial workers who perform the tasks.
Promotion of full-time work: Employers must offer part-time workers more hours before hiring additional part-timers or subcontractors.
Employee retention: If an affected business is sold, the new owner must retain existing employees for at least 90 days.
Union waiver: Requirements may be waived in a collective-bargaining agreement.
Start date: Jan. 1, 2014.
Seattle Times staff research
Who's covered
An estimated 6,300 workers at 72 hospitality and transportation businesses in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and its nearby hotels, car-rental offices and parking lots
• Hotels with 100 or more rooms and at least 30 nonmanagerial employees
• Airport merchants with 10 or more nonmanagerial employees
• Airport contractors that perform such services as curbside check-in, baggage handling and aircraft fueling and have at least 25 nonmanagerial employees
• Restaurants and stores with 10 or more nonmanagerial employees inside large hotels
• Rental-car companies with a fleet of more than 100 cars and at least 25 nonmanagerial employees
• Shuttle services with a fleet of more than 10 buses or vans and at least 25 nonmanagerial employees
• Parking lots with more than 100 spaces and at least 25 nonmanagerial employees
They wear the labels of the companies that employ them on their clothing as they heft crates of food donated to the church's food bank. Later, many will leave supplied with pasta, apples, cereal and instant mashed potatoes. And then, for the lucky, it's back to work in or around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
For the Rev. Jan Bolerjack, pastor of Riverton Park United Methodist Church in Tukwila, the men volunteering to help with the food bank are as much a part of her congregation as those who sit in the pews on Sunday morning.
So when the labor-rights-advocacy group, Puget Sound Sage, approached her more than a year ago and asked her to join the Proposition 1 campaign to increase SeaTac's minimum wage for hospitality and transportation workers from $9.19 an hour to $15, it was an easy decision.
For Bolerjack, 57, being a Methodist minister at a suburban church means a lot more than youth groups, baptizing babies, visiting the sick and the annual rummage sale. At the simple square church with old, squeaky linoleum floors and a bell, she presides over community dinners attended by dozens, a twice-a-week food bank, and helps a number of families find shelter in Sunday school classrooms. She takes nine children of the homeless to the zoo and swimming and helps them with homework because they often have no one else.
The rest of the time Bolerjack devotes to pushing for a "livable wage" for the people she cares for.
Supporters say the proposition, which goes before SeaTac voters Tuesday, is about much more than wages. To them, it's about working conditions and encouraging, but not requiring, employers to hire workers full time rather than splitting shifts among many who don't come close to making a living wage. The proposition would also guarantee a minimum amount of paid sick leave.
To Bolerjack and other clergy, it's common sense.
There are 93,474 people in the Seattle-Bellevue-Tacoma metropolitan area who work but still fall below the federal poverty guidelines, according to the U.S. Census, a 3 percent increase since 2005.
When families don't make enough money to survive, "There's such a ripple effect right down to the kids,'' Bolerjack said. "They end up living in stress-filled homes because the parents aren't able to cope. I see so many parents at the end of their rope, just trying to cope, to hold things together.''
On a Tuesday morning, volleys of Russian conversation cut through the foggy air. Some men take a break and sit on plastic crates in the parking lot behind the church.
They take comfort in their common heritage. They are Russian Turks who came to the United States hoping for a life free from prejudice — in a land of plenty.
What they got: jobs that paid $9.19 an hour with far less than full-time work, no sick leave, no family leave.
Ismaap Abdiyev's son was born two months early. When the boy went to school the "teacher said his head is no good,'' Abdiyev said.
Abdiyev's son has a neurological condition and is treated frequently at Seattle Children's hospital. Abdiyev's wife is also ill. Their care and transportation to appointments fall on Abdiyev, who has stopped working as a baggage handler.
"Maybe next month I can go back to work,'' he said. In the meantime, he has no income.
Mansur Aladinov sat on a crate next to him. For two years he worked driving a truck used to load the planes with food. Then the contract ended and his full-time work was reduced to part time.
Bolerjack has heard it all. So has the Rev. Roger Barr at the United Methodist Church in Des Moines. That church sponsors the Des Moines Area Food Bank, which serves 4,000 individuals a month, one third of them from SeaTac.
"They are from families who do have employment and can't make ends meet,'' said Barr, who also has joined the Proposition 1 campaign.
The Rev. Mike Denton of United Church of Christ, the denomination's regional director, also joined the campaign. "It felt irresponsible not to be part of it,'' he said.
Although it's a major contributor of social services to the poor in the Tukwila and SeaTac area, Bolerjack's church has only 100 members — a David in the Land of Goliaths.
And that is her message one Sunday. Bolerjack stood before those in the pews and talked about courage and how individuals can accomplish enormous things by asking God for courage.
"How much courage does it take to speak up for some one else?" she asked. "Or to speak up for yourself""

Duncan Piper was an absolute pleasure to work with through the process of buying an investment property from a vendor who kept changing his mind and going silent, and was using an agent who thought it was my job to negotiate with the vendor. Duncan's calmness, good humour and wise advice really were a godsend and I'm not sure the purchase would have gone through to completion without his help and support. Thank you!

Will Paying Hospitals to Teach Each Other Get Results?
The Department of Health and Human Services believes that best practices, techniques and solutions for obtaining higher levels of quality and safety among hospitals should spread, um, well…like a disease.
Those are my words, not theirs, but allow me to continue with my bad ironic similes and consider that the $218 million the agency is investing in so-called "Hospital Engagement Networks" as Typhoid Mary.
The money, distributed among 26 organizations, will help identify and teach other hospitals and healthcare providers the solutions that have been already proven to reduce healthcare acquired conditions.
As part of the public-private Partnership for Patients program, the agency will distribute that money among 26 state, regional, or nationwide hospital organizations to be invested in the infrastructure to help train their colleagues on best practices.
According to HHS, the recipients will "conduct intensive training programs to teach and support hospitals in making patient care safer, provide technical assistance to hospitals so that hospitals can achieve quality measurement goals, and establish and implement a system to track and monitor hospital progress in meeting quality improvement goals."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
A. Bibby (2/3/2012 at 2:03 PM)
Personally, it is a good idea for hospitals and other healtcare facilities to learn from OTHER like facilities. Oftentimes, practioners become too complacent and too "busy" to learn new and other effective techniques. I do not think; however, that hospitals should get paid to teach within... Either they get money for research or on the tail end by saving money from following some sort of quality improvement plan (i.e. decrease infections= decrease supply use= less call outs=increase marketability

ICE MAN COMETH: Ahead of its fashion show, Iceberg has revealed the appointment of its first men's wear creative director, Federico Curradi.
"It's important to understand when to do a step back, especially in this current hard and complex time," said Gilmar chief executive officer and artistic director Paolo Gerani, who used to oversee Iceberg men's and women's collections. "So I decided to delegate to someone I've known since a long time in order to get a new and better image for the brand," said Gerani, referring to the appointment of Curradi as Iceberg fashion and creative consultant in 2006.
Gerani also said that the company would appoint a creative director for the women's line as well.
"I'll be still involve in the style decisions but I'll concentrate more on finding new emerging talents," he added.
Born and raised in Florence, Curradi cut his teeth working with a tailor prior to launch his own line of men's pants. He went on to work for Ermanno Scervino, where he designed the brand's first men's collection, and Roberto Cavalli as head of the men's collection in 2005.
"My goal is to find a style very focused on men's wear and which expresses creativity in knitwear, Iceberg's core business," Curradi said.

Investors Should Not Live by ETFs Alone
The concept of getting help investing in ETFs along the lines of a managed portfolio will appeal to plenty of people who are not comfortable or confident enough to do it themselves but who don't have enough capital to retain an account manager. But because these products offer little to no forward-looking analysis, they amount to a disservice, as small accounts aren't entitled to more than a computerized rebalancing of a backward-looking portfolio.
Another drawback is that many of the products don't make use of all of the ETF families or products. Most of the ETFs offered are from iShares, which is not ideal because no single provider can have the best product for every single slice of the market.
Worse, these portfolios use just a narrow spectrum of ETFs from those families, offering only broad-based ETFs such as iShares S&P 500 or iShares Russell 1000 (IWD). By sticking with only the biggest, broadest ETFs, these portfolios deny investors access to a lot of innovative ideas and the chance to add value.
I view these products as top-down portfolios. As a top-down manager, I make decisions about market capitalization, style, volatility, yield, countries and sectors. The current batch of ETF portfolio products for the most part ignores countries, sectors, volatility and yield, and focuses only on market capitalization, style and domestic vs. foreign investments, "foreign" being a much broader focus than selecting exposure to individual nations.It's worth noting that Fidelity allows more customization in its ETF portfolio than other firms. But if you can create your own portfolio with no input from the firm, you don't need to be under the umbrella of the product. There are many useful applications for ETFs in a diversified portfolio. There is no doubt that the product line will become more useful as competition spurs innovation. But blind over-reliance on any one type of investment is a mistake, and that's definitely true for ETFs.
Please note that due to factors including low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float, we consider The New Ireland Fund to be a small-cap stock. You should be aware that such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information, and that postings such as this one can have an effect on their stock prices.
