Winter's coming. Only a nip so far, a taste of the low 30s, a kiss of frost, then a scramble back into the arms of the sunny mid-50s, which felt like spring.
But don't be deceived.
Winter is coming, full-bore, winter in the Midwest, another nasty, brutal, sleet-slinging three months of put on your Vibram-soled boots and your Eddie Bauer Ridgeline Parka, lower your head, lock your gaze at the trough already shuffled in front of you and start trudging Chicago winter.
The question I get asked, again and again, as the human face on the city's Divvy bike-share program, is this: What's going to happen to the Divvy bikes in the winter?
You might guess that they'd be put away until spring, along with the sailboats, sidewalk cafes, sleeveless dresses and all the other harbingers of Chicago the eight months a year when its livable outside.
But no need to guess.
I put the question to Elliot Greenberger, Divvy's deputy general manager.
"In terms of the winter, all our stations will remain open, but we'll reduce our bike fleet on the street to match ridership," he wrote via email.
How is that going to work? If there are problems with newbie Divvy bicyclists blundering the wrong way down one-way streets and along Lake Shore Drive, playing the role of Sweet Pea on wheels at a Popeye cartoon construction site, what's going to happen once it snows? I figure we'll need guidance, and for that I turned to that hearty, tattooed, pierced tribe of bike-in-the-winter free spirits known as bicycle messengers.
What's the secret to surviving cold-weather cycling?
"For me, it's staying warm," said Mike Morell, of the 4 Star Courier Collective, a delivery service formed by six messengers in 2005.
That doesn't mean bundling up in coats.
"You generate your own heat," he said. "Your core tends to warm up quickly."
So light layers on the body, concentrating instead on your exposed digits.
"Toes and fingers are really hard to keep warm," he said. For that, he recommends "a good pair of gloves that keep your fingers next to each other."
You mean mittens? I asked.
No, he said. Those pose a problem.
"You can't shift as easily." The solution? "Lobster gloves," he said, sort of a compromise between gloves and mittens with a split between the ring and middle fingers, forming the hand into a Vulcan salute.
"Live long and prosper," Morell said. "It works well for biking, and you still have the range of motion."
For your feet?
"Extra socks help," he said. Plus waterproof footwear. Don't delude yourself that just because it isn't at the moment actively snowing, raining, sleeting or all three, Chicago city biking won't be wet.
"The ground's always kind of wet and you're getting sprayed," he said.
Now that you've outfitted yourself, how does biking in the winter differ from biking in the eight months that aren't winter?
"Just watch out for ice," he said. "The city salts the heck out of the street, still, especially on side streets."
Pay particular attention to the streets under bridges. "Riding under viaducts, there always seem to be icy spots," Morell said. "It's really icy under the Metra tracks."
If you find yourself hurtling across ice, don't panic.
"When you realize you're on a patch of ice, try not to brake or turn," he said. "Try to glide on. Don't do anything sudden: When you freak out, that's when you fall."
"When you freak out." I liked his certainty.
Since winter is still a ways away, if you sincerely plan to commute on your Divvy, now is the time to equip yourself. Not only lobster gloves, but consider a thin biking balaclava to keep your face warm if you brave the worst weather. They're thin to fit under a helmet, which you'll need even more than ever. In the winter, you fall. Even experienced bicyclists expect to fall.
"I'll wipe out a couple times a winter," Morell said.
That's the bad news. The good news is, when you fall, it won't hurt so much.
"Generally in winter, you're wearing so much gear, falling off isn't big a deal anyway," he said. "I'm usually pretty padded."
But it's not winter yet. Not yet. I biked Monday, and it was pleasant wearing fingerless wool gloves and a leather jacket. Winter doesn't start until Dec. 21. But the average temperature in Chicago in November is 40 degrees. And November starts Friday.

The 8 hour working day
One cause of the Dublin Lockout was the conditions endured by the city's workers, who had to work up to seventeen hours a day. But why did eight hours become the length of a standard work day? The answer can be traced back to 1914, as Lorcan Clancy found out.http://www.rte.ie/radio1/the-history-show/programmes/2013/1229/491028-the-history-show-sunday-29-december-2013/?clipid=1382276

The conclusion - if the server doesn't have the profile, the client should send it. Makes even more sense with NG or interleaved Persistent connections...

Jewish prayer (Hebrew: תְּפִלָּה, tefillah [tefiˈla]; plural Hebrew: תְּפִלּוֹת, tefillos or tefillot [tefiˈlot]; Yiddish תּפֿלה tfile [ˈtfɪlə], plural תּפֿלות tfilles [ˈtfɪləs]; Yinglish: davening from Yiddish דאַוונען davnen 'to pray') are the prayer recitations that form part of the observance of Judaism. These prayers, often with instructions and commentary, are found in the siddur, the traditional Jewish prayer book.
Traditionally, three prayer services are recited daily:
The High Holidays or High Holy Days, in Judaism, more properly known as the Yamim Noraim (Hebrew: ימים נוראים "Days of Awe"), may mean:
The Fast of Gedalia (/ɡɛdəˈlaɪ.ə/ or /ɡɨˈdɑːljə/; Hebrew: צוֹם גְּדַלְיָּה Tzom Gedalya), also spelled Gedaliah, is a Jewish fast day from dawn until dusk to lament the assassination of the righteous governor of Judah of that name, whose murder ended Jewish autonomy following the destruction of the First Temple.
A ta'anit or taanis (in Ashkenaz pronunciation) or taʿanith in Classical Hebrew is a fast in Judaism in which one abstains from all food and drink, including water. A Jewish fast may have one or more purposes, including:
The most well-known and well-observed fast is the fast of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This is the only fast day mentioned in the Torah (Leviticus 23:26-32).
Jewish culture is the international culture of the Jews. Since the early 19th century the international community of Jewish people has been considered an ethnoreligious rather than solely a religious grouping. Judaism guides its adherents in both practice and belief, so that it has been called not only a religion, but an orthopraxy. Hence no clear distinction exists between the cultural contributions of Jews as opposed to aspects of culture that are specifically Jewish. Furthermore, not all individuals or all cultural phenomena can be classified as either "secular" or "religious", a distinction native to Enlightenment thinking.
Jewish culture in its etymological meaning retains the linkage to the land of origin, the people named for the Kingdom of Judah, study of Jewish texts, practice of community charity, and Jewish history. The term "secular Jewish culture" therefore refers to many aspects, including: Religion and World View, Literature, Media, and Cinema, Art and Architecture, Cuisine and Traditional Dress, attitudes to Gender, Marriage, and Family, Social Customs and Lifestyles, Music and Dance. "Secular Judaism," is a distinct phenomenon related to Jewish secularization - a historical process of divesting all of these elements of culture from their religious beliefs and practices.
Human behavior refers to the range of behaviors exhibited by humans and which are influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, authority, rapport, hypnosis, persuasion, coercion and/or genetics.
The behavior of people (and other organisms or even mechanisms) falls within a range with some behavior being common, some unusual, some acceptable, and some outside acceptable limits. In sociology, behavior in general is characterised as having no meaning, being not directed at other people, and thus is the most basic human action. Behavior in this general sense should not be mistaken with social behavior, which is a more advanced action, as social behavior is behavior specifically directed at other people. The acceptability of behavior depends heavily upon social norms and is regulated by various means of social control. Human behavior is studied by the specialised academic disciplines of psychiatry, psychology, social work, sociology, economics, and anthropology.

The 100 best comedy movies: 80-71
The 100 best comedy movies, picked by experts from across film, TV and comedy
Thu Jul 24 2014
CommentsAdd +
Clockwise (1986)
'It's not the despair. I can stand the despair, Laura. It's the hope.'
Director: Christopher Morahan
Cast: John Cleese, Sharon Maiden, Penelope Wilton
Defining moment: John Cleese's epic, rambling climactic speech proves he's a great verbal as well as physical comic.
From a script by Michael Frayn, this classic farce starring John Cleese as a punctilious headmaster on a calamitous journey to a conference is something of a dry run for the actor's turn in 'A Fish Called Wanda'. The plot moves along at a fair old lick, with Cleese's Mr Stimpson roping in disaffected sixth-former Laura (Sharon Maiden) to get him to his destination. There's plenty of spark to the dialogue and a very English sense of panic at the failure to meet conventional expectations. The real treat of it is Cleese's performance, its elements of priggishness ultimately overcome by sympathy at his ordeal. Ben WaltersRead review
Bridesmaids (2011)
'You smell like pine needles, and have a face like sunshine!'
Director: Paul Feig
Cast: Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne
Defining moment: Kristen Wiig's impersonation of a penis is disconcertingly spot-on.
The most recent film on this list makes a pretty strong showing, but it's hardly surprising: 'Bridesmaids' isn't just the comedy smash of 2011, it's one of the funniest movies in recent memory. The idea of taking the tired-old 'Hangover' lad-com template and simply switching genders doesn't sound like an automatic win, but the appeal here isn't in the bad-taste trappings, it's in the silly-but-smart script, the lively direction from 'Freaks and Geeks' legend Paul Feig and the note-perfect casting. It's hard to remember a performance more effortlessly star-making than Kristen Wiig delivers, showcasing a woman equally at home with satire and slapstick. You go girl. Tom HuddlestonRead review
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
'Everybody just pretend to be normal!'
Directors: Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris
Cast: Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear
Defining moment: Paul Dano's freakout when he realises what his hapless little sister is about to walk into proved just what this fine actor was capable of.
When their seven-year-old daughter is accepted to a beauty contest in California, her parents decide to drive from their Albuquerque home, with dysfunctional family members in tow. A wish-list of US indie stars – Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell and a wonderfully irascible Alan Arkin – are crammed into a VW camper van, the journey inevitably involves bumpy confrontations but, with a script that zings with one-liners and note-perfect performances, the trip is an utter blast. Edward LawrensonRead review
Stir Crazy (1980)
'125 years... I'll be 161 when I get out!'
Director: DIRECTOR
Cast: CAST
Defining moment: It's not exactly hilarious, but the scene where Gene Wilder's terrifying cellmate sings 'Down in the Valley' is surprisingly emotional.
Could 'Stir Crazy' be the best prison comedy of all time? Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor – as innocent New York buddies Skip and Harry who get banged-up for 125 years apiece for armed robbery – were both at the height of their considerable powers, and given room to improvise by both scriptwriter Bruce Jay Friedman and director Sidney Poitier (wisely, as it turned out, considering the filmmakers' other works were notably laugh-free). It's a tale of fear, ridicule and humiliation resounding with protestations: Wilder's wild cries and motormouth mitigations competing with Pryor's craven wimperings and gibbering incoherence. The plot does get bogged down – in some overextended business involving Skip's unexpected rodeo skills and the pair's escape plans – and the tension does slacken off, but the first half is comically inspired and hysterically funny. Wally HammondRead review
Old School (2003)
'Every now and then I get a little bit nervous then I see the fuckin' look in your eyes...'
Director: Todd Phillips
Cast: Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn
Defining moment: See below: the wedding singer scene.
If you're looking for the best comedy film of recent years, it might not be 'Old School': the film has bags of charm, cracking one-liners, memorable supporting characters ('You're my boy, Blue!') and pitch-perfect performances from its three zeitgeist-grabbing leads as the ageing college buddies who move back on to campus in an effort to revitalise their fading youths, but it's not quite 'Rushmore' or 'Superbad'. But if you're looking for the biggest single laugh of the decade – the spit-out-your-popcorn, drop-your-coke, didn't-see-it-coming zinger to end 'em all – this movie's wedding scene takes some beating. Its fabulously earnest, foul-mouthed version of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' performed by regular frat-pack cameo artist Dan Finnerty in a wide-collared concierge outfit, is a powerfully strong contender. Tom HuddlestonRead review
Bananas (1971)
'Blood! That should be on the inside!'
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Woody Allen, Louise Lasser, Carlos Montalbán
Defining moment: Two twentieth century icons unite as Woody is menaced on the subway by none other than a very young, almost fresh-faced Sylvester Stallone.
Before he became overly preoccupied with love and death, Woody Allen was primarily a gag man, and the jokes are never more silly and inspired as they are in this early directorial effort. Mixing silent cinema buffoonery with the absurdity of his '60s stand-up routines, the movie sees Woody head down south to join a revolution in a small fictional Latin American country. With Woody adopting radical politics to win the affections of right-on Louise Lasser, 'Bananas' is Allen's most avowedly Marxist film – Groucho, that is, not Karl. Edward LawrensonRead review
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
Director: Mike Newell
Cast: Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell
Defining moment: It could be argued that Hugh Grant's oh-so-awkward South Bank confession of love paved the way for the current cultural takeover by the British aristocracy.
For a film that celebrates English reserve and self-deprecation, it seems somehow wrong that 'Four Weddings... ' garnered such huge international success. And yet this modestly budgeted British ensemble comedy was a massive hit, thanks to a sparkling script by Richard Curtis and winning performances by its cast of wedding-hopping well-to-do Londoners, not least Hugh Grant whose floppy charm and even floppier hair turned him into one of the decade's leading romantic men. Edward LawrensonRead review
The Party (1968)
'Birdie num nums.'
Director: Blake Edwards
Cast: Peter Sellers, Claudine Longet
Defining moment: Sellers's battle with a toilet that seems to have a mind of its own is a moment of superb scatalogical slapstick.
And there I was thinking I was the only one who put this bundle of slapstick hilarity in their final top-ten list. This is, after all, the least politically correct title in the pack. Back in 1968, of course, much of the general public thought nothing of one of the country's most beloved comedians darkening his face to play a bumbling Indian actor at the party of a high-ranking studio exec. But the truth is, the filmmakers needn't have bothered with questionable identities and extra make-up because Peter Sellers could have pulled it off by simply being himself. From the moment Sellers's overly inquisitive extra arrives at the party, a battery of slapstick misfortunes begins to evolve as the clumsy but well-meaning guest crashes from one hilarious mishap into another. A near silent comedy that clearly inspired elements of 'Naked Gun' and 'Mr Bean', 'The Party' is warmly deserving of a place in the kingdom of comedy. Derek AdamsRead review
Bedazzled (1967)
'I, Stanley Moon, hereinafter and in the hereafter to be known as "the damned"… The damned?'
Director: Stanley Donen
Cast: Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Eleanor Bron
Defining moment: There really is no arguing with that magnificently louche, groovy psychedelic theme song, composed by Dud himself. Altogether now: 'you fill me with inertia...'
Forget the underwhelming remake with Brendan Fraser and Liz Hurley. The original 'Bedazzled' is a vintage piece of Swinging London comedy and probably Pete and Dud's finest big-screen outing. Dudley Moore is a sad-sack cook mooning after a waitress (Eleanor Bron) and Peter Cook plays the devil, who procures his soul in exchange for seven wishes. What follows is a Faustian series of set-pieces – some witty, some garish, some a tad aged – that offer plenty of opportunities for the duo's distinctive power-play. Ben WaltersRead review
Broadway Danny Rose (1984)
'If you take my advice I think you'll become one of the great balloon-folding acts of all time!'
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, Nick Apollo Forte
Defining moment: Woody tries to sell a promoter on his top acts: a blind xylophone player, a one-legged tap-dancer and a penguin dressed as a rabbi.
Woody Allen comes to both bury and praise Danny Rose in this lyrical note to the dimmer lights of the Great White Way. A cock-eyed optimist and full-time dreamer, guileless theatrical agent Danny (Allen) dotes over his woeful stable of one-shot novelty acts – blind xylophonists, uniped tap dancers, ice-skating penguins dressed, naturally, as hassidic rabbis – but it is clear to everyone else that an age is swiftly passing. It would be an easy scene to mock, but Allen forgoes the easy yuks in favour of a generous, mournful, affectionate send-off that pays far richer, far funnier dividends. And as a monochrome snapshot of early-'80s, pre-Giuliani Times Square, the film is a true museum piece. Adam Lee DaviesRead review

The 5 Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: March 23
4. Apple's Premature Pay Day
Listen up folks. Before we get started, please note for the record that we are not calling Apple's (AAPL) dividend/buyback plan dumb. Far from it.
Hey, these guys were smart enough to bank $100 billion in first place, so who are we to mock them for giving it back to investors. The tech giant aims to start paying a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share, sometime during its fiscal fourth quarter, while also undertaking a $10 billion share-repurchase program in the company's fiscal 2013.Once again, bully for them! An Apple dividend a quarter keeps the "Can Tim Cook fill Steve Jobs shoes?" questions away -- at least for a while. That's because it's harder for the increasing number of Apple's value-oriented shareholders to complain about the company's cash hoard when their coupon checks keep coming in. That said, and then repeated, while Apple's decision to announce a dividend was not the dumbest thing we witnessed on Wall Street this week, we also can't say that it was the smartest thing either. Why? Because as TheStreet's (TST) very own Jim Cramer alertly points out, Apple's dividend announcement upstaged the news that it sold more than three million new iPads over the weekend. "For those of us who waited in line to get one we understood that something so special was going on that the dividend stole the thunder from the actual story, a new device that I think is taking America by storm," wrote Cramer over on Real Money. Said differently, Apple does not release a mind-blowing new product every day, so Tim Cook probably should have saved that nugget of good news for a rainy day should the company -- heaven forbid -- release a new gadget that fails to thrill the throngs. Look, we know it sounds impossible for Apple to swing and miss with a new product, especially considering the roll it's on. But remember folks, the Newton is not a figment of our imagination. And Tim Cook may need to milk that dividend for all its worth to wash away the taste should such a flop happen again.

Arnold Garron, Interim Dean
Tamara Rury, Associate Director of Undergraduate Advising
Shane Baker, Ashley Lapp, Lisa Pappajohn- Academic Counselors
10 Garrison Ave, Suite 101, 2-3885
|Declaration/Application Rule
See below for application rules
See below for application rules
See below for application rules
No internal transfer option. Students should speak with their advisor for other options.
The B.A. degree in Economics has a language competency requirement. The B.S. degrees in Business Administration, Hospitality Management, and Economics have no language competency requirement. Information on each of these majors can be found at: http://paulcollege.unh.edu/academics/undergraduate-degree-programs. There are no open majors in Paul College.
Paul College hosts informational meetings once or twice a month each fall and spring semester for current 4-year degree students who have questions about majors in the school. If a student is considering a major in Paul College, he/she should attend one of these meetings as soon as possible to become fully aware of the requirements. Students can find out meeting dates, times and locations from their UACC Advisor or the Paul College Undergraduate Programs Office. If a student has more in depth questions they may meet individually with Lisa Pappajohn during certain hours on Fridays. Please refer students to the Undergraduate Programs and Advising Office to schedule an appointment.
Eligibility requirements are reviewed each year and can change from year to year. UNH-Manchester students and Thompson School students have a different application process and should speak with the advisor at their school regarding applying to Paul College.
Declaring a Major in the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics
The application period to apply to Paul College is announced each semester and usually occurs the week before finals. Students should check with Paul College Undergraduate Programs and Advising Office to find out the dates of the Intercollege Transfer Application Meetings. Students are required to attend one of the meetings if planning to apply to Paul College for the following semester. At the meeting, applications, other materials and information are distributed. Eligibility requirements are reviewed yearly and may change from year to year.
Undeclared: No internal transfer students may elect the undeclared option after they begin school. This status applies only to new freshmen admitted to undeclared Paul College.
EREC 411 and Paul College: Once a student is accepted into a major Paul College will allow students who have previously completed EREC 411 to substitute it for ECON 402. However, EREC 411 is not a Paul College course and in order to be eligible to apply, students must have completed two Paul College courses. Paul College prefers that students take ECON 402 whenever possible. Students cannot receive credit for both courses.
Math Requirement: Students must complete their quantitative reasoning requirement (MATH 420, 424A/B or 425, AP Calculus, or approved transfer course) before taking ADMN 420.
Statistics: Students must complete ADMN 403, and a Math requirement, prior to taking ADMN 420. For more information, see Statistics in the Mathematics & Statistics section of this handbook. The UNH-Manchester course of ADM 430, Introduction to Business Statistics, is NOT accepted towards the statistics requirement in Paul College.
MKTG 550, MGT 580 and MKTG 598: Students who are interested in transferring to the Business Administration or Hospitality Management majors in Paul College should NOT take MKTG 550, MGT 580 and MKTG 598. These courses are designed for students who are NOT majoring in Business Administration or Hospitality Management. Therefore, students considering applying to either major should not select either of these courses. Students who have taken these classes and later major in either program may take the version of these courses designed for majors and could lose credit. If a student has transferred into UNH with similar courses or already took one, please direct the student to a Paul College advisor.
Continuing Education Students who enroll in PAUL COLLEGE Courses:
The PAUL COLLEGE Repeated Course Rule applies to all PAUL COLLEGE courses taken by a Continuing Education student when applying and/or accepted to PAUL COLLEGE. The Repeat Rule is: A grade of C- or above is required in each PAUL COLLEGE required course. Maximum of two PAUL COLLEGE required courses may be repeated, each only one time. ADMN 403 is included in this two course minimum repeat allowance even though it is a CR/F course.
Competency Exam: Accounting
Transfer students should contact Paul College Undergraduate Programs and Advising Office if they have successfully completed a financial or managerial accounting course at another school. Based on the previous institution, some students may be given the opportunity to take an accounting competency exam.

Female truckies across Queensland are among those celebrating International Women's Day today.
This year's event is highlighting the increasing number of women in non-traditional careers in the mining, transport and construction industries.
Roz Shaw from trucking company, Hawkins Family Group, says women are involved in every stage of the industry, from driving through to senior management.
She says women often excel in management roles.
"It's all about human relations, particularly in management roles and I have found that women tend to be very good managers of both genders," she said.
"But also I think it is very important to have a mix.
"The dynamics of men and women working together is the key ingredient to the best success you can get."

Programs in entrepreneurship aren't new on college campuses. But, the mindset that college graduates may find it easier to create their own jobs rather than find one is new.
Programs in entrepreneurship aren't new on college campuses. But, the mindset that college graduates may find it easier to create their own jobs rather than find one is new.
Last month, Professional Media Group, owners and producers of the EduComm conference, announced a new name for the conference's 2012 incarnation: UBTech.
Proposals are in from institutions vying to build a tech campus in the "city that never sleeps" as part of the "Applied Sciences NYC" initiative. It's the beginning of an effort to bring New York City to the forefront of technology start-ups and innovation.
A Prospective student attending an open house or career fair, who has just finished the LSAT, or even who has some time on a train commute can apply to Atlanta's John Marshall Law School on the spot—via smartphone or tablet.
It's a simple idea for community colleges that sounds almost archaic: Check the help wanted ads and shape programs around available jobs.
Leaders from 16 community colleges around the country gathered at the White House in September to participate in a roundtable discussion on the role community colleges play in America.
Henry Ford brought efficiency to the forefront of American business with his assembly line, which introduced automobiles to the masses.
Laden with application forms, transcripts, financial aid documents, and more, the admissions function is awash in paperwork. As frustrating as it may be for prospective students who have to compile and send such documentation, imagine being on the receiving end.
Like many institutions, Murray State University (Ky.) paid a vendor to back up its data regularly and store it off-site for retrieval in case a disaster struck campus and wiped out hard drives and servers.
Few among us enjoy the prospect of assessment, I think. It can feel like a lonely and difficult endeavor. Some of us shy away after catching a glimpse of an inhospitable landscape pockmarked with huge data craters, thinking "I simply have too much work to do to get dragged into that!"
Others navigate across the shifting sands and craggy outcrops of data collection and analysis with great trepidation. What if I get it wrong? Will I even know if I get it wrong? Most of us are compelled to assess at some level and just try to get through it as quickly as possible. Whew! Now back to my real work.
Numerous advantages are driving cloud email adoption. Migrating email to the cloud offers campuses substantial financial savings and eliminates on-site mail system infrastructure.
College campuses are typically beautiful places. Tree-lined walkways, verdant quads, and stately buildings make for a pleasant place to take a walk.
Student-athletes face the daunting task of keeping up with their studies while also devoting considerable time to practicing, competing, and traveling.

MetLife Auto & Home® To Offer Insurance Program To Family Circle And Ladies' Home Journal Subscribers
Meredith Corporation (NYSE: MDP) and MetLife Auto & Home jointly announced today that qualified subscribers to two of Meredith's most well-known publications will be able to insure their homes and automobiles with group discounts. Subscribers of both Ladies' Home Journal and Family Circle will be offered the opportunity to apply for insurance coverage provided by MetLife Auto & Home and other leading insurance carriers.
"The millions of women we reach through our Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal brands are passionate about all things pertaining to their home and family," said Nancy Weber, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Meredith Women's Network. "We're excited to be able to offer them an opportunity to participate in this program."
"This relationship with a leading publisher like Meredith provides MetLife Auto & Home a unique opportunity to serve subscribers of two iconic publications that have histories of deep engagement with their audiences," said David Brennan, vice president, US Sponsored Direct Business at MetLife.
As part of the program, qualified subscribers also will be able to secure insurance protection for other items, including rental properties, condos, boats, motor homes and RVs. Additionally, those subscribers may have access to other value-added features such as convenient payment options, identity protection services, personalized service, and superior driver discounts. Insurance availability, coverages, and discounts vary from state to state."We're pleased to offer subscribers some of the most comprehensive auto and home insurance coverage available, at competitive group rates," noted Brennan. "Not all auto and home insurance policies are the same, and we encourage subscribers to review their current policies to ensure that they have the right amount of coverage and the features to fit their needs." The outreach to subscribers will be undertaken by several Meredith business units including the Meredith Women's Network, Meredith Xcelerated Marketing, and Consumer Marketing.

Juan Cole's Informed Comment: The White House staffers, who are trying to deny Iran the right to develop its own nuclear energy capacity, have conveniently forgotten that the United States was the midwife to the Iranian nuclear program 30 years ago. Every aspect of Iran's current nuclear development was approved and encouraged by Washington in the 1970s. President Gerald Ford offered Iran a full nuclear cycle in 1976, and the only reactor currently about to become operative, the reactor in Bushire, was started before the Iranian revolution with U.S. approval.
Kenneth Timmerman, in Countdown to Crisis: The Coming Nuclear Showdown with Iran presents a misleading description of this plant, claiming again and again that the facility might be used to produce nuclear fuel. | column

Christmas… I remember the season, all those seasons, all those years. I remember them; I remember the sparkling lights, the ornaments, the tree, the figures and the nativity. The food, the Colombian Natilla and buñuelos, the tamales, the morcilla. All the drinking. Those smells. All the laughter around us. I remember it all... ALL.
Some of you, friends, who are used to these series that I am writing about my childhood might be thinking that I am going to face you with a terrible experience happening to me right in the middle of the December festivities. I am not. This one here is short and full of love. The kind of love only a child can give as the best present for Christmas.
"Oh don´t think Santa doesn´t love you honey… he loves all children around the world and that is why he is so busy… but he will bring you a beautiful present, you´ll see… the thing is that this year Santa had to buy too many presents and maybe he will take more time to bring yours… but he will bring it.
Those were my mamita Rachel´s words, my mom´s mother. She is the sweetest soul on earth. She loved me and she understood what it was like for a child to be expecting Santa Claus or Baby Jesus, to arrive caring the presents that are meant to be taken from under the tree and opened in front of everyone so all the family could have an honest happy smile… as a family.
We were used to do that. But this year 1983 was different. We were on our own. No dad. My mom didn´t have a job. She lost her house. I was living with Aunty Beatriz and my sister Erika was living with grandma. My family situation wasn't the best. But, we loved each other and whenever we were together those years we were always having a blast… together.
I couldn´t understand why I nor my sister were not getting a present that year. We were good children, grandma said, we were good to each other and that was enough to be granted a good Christmas present. But it was taking longer that expected, she explained.
So, that night, four nights before Christmas, while talking to Grandma Rachel I made a decision.
"Sorry Mrs. Piggy"
I got up early the next day, apologized to my piggy bank and then smashed it to the floor. It broke in million pieces, but what came from inside weren´t millions of coins, just enough to buy something small to my mother and my sister. Maybe socks for both of them… but I was never a small thinker. So, I came up with a plan to make some more money.
"Good morning lady (BIG SMILE) you are beautiful today and you have the most beautiful eyes in the world"
There I was, a 9 year old skinny boy, standing in front of a woman´s car flirting with her while she was waiting in traffic for the green light to go. Two minutes. I had only two minutes to sell her what I was offering. Hearts, red velvet card hearts with an inscription made by me that said:
You see, at that age of 9, I still believed in Santa and Baby Jesus, but, since Baby Jesus was a baby and he had Mary and Joseph to help him in case he needed help, I decided that the one in need was Santa.
I was happy that day and the days before Christmas because people seemed to like Santa so much that they were willing to help me help him. Some people even sent him bills. I was thrilled. Every afternoon I came home and put all the donations in my metal lunch box: bills and coins. Three days of hard work so we could help Santa come home.
Christmas day, I was finished. I knew there was no more time so I decided to ask grandma to help me send the lunch box to Santa Claus so he could have enough money to take the bus and come home to us.
She grabbed the box, opened it …….. and….
That night, we were all happy. So happy I can not even come close to describe it. My little sister got her Paola doll and I got my Radio Flyer Red Wagon… just the one I wanted so I can carry Erika and now Paola around.
Later that night, mom came to me and said close to my ear that Santa had sent a note only for me to read. No one else. She said that Santa said that note was a secret. I was so excited. I grabbed the note and went to the restroom. Opened it and there it was:
Thank you, Mauricio. You are my favorite little man in the world. I love you very much. Enjoy the present you asked me. I will see you next year.
Yeah… Santa came to town and to our house, no matter what, I wasn´t letting anything came in his way to my house….

If your disk won't load or play on your Xbox One console, try the solutions on this page. Click on the description that best describes your problem.
If you're having a problem with a single disk but other disks are working fine, try these solutions.
Solution 1: Ensure the disk is clean and not defective
Clean the disk with a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth. Hold the disc by the edges without touching the top or bottom surface.
Solution 2: Try playing the disk on another Xbox One console
This will help determine whether the problem is with the individual disk or the console's disk drive. Try the disk on a friend's console or at a retail location that can test a disk.
If your disk works on another Xbox One console, see None of my disks play or my disk isn't recognised when I insert it.
Solution 3: Make sure the Blu-ray player app has installed successfully
If you can play game disks but not CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray discs, make sure that the Blu-ray player app has installed successfully. For more information, see Set up and install the Blu-ray and DVD player app on Xbox One.
If installation is unsuccessful, contact Xbox Support.
Solution 4: Make sure that your DVD or Blu-ray disk is from the same region where you purchased your console
See Play Blu-ray and DVD movies on Xbox One for more information.
Solution 5: Ensure that your console is up to date
If your console can play DVDs and Blu-ray disks, but not an Xbox One game disk, your console might be experiencing a known issue that affected a small number of customers in August 2014.
If your console is up to date, this issue will not affect you. To ensure your console is up to date, go to Settings, and then select System.
The System screen will let you know if an update is available. If there is, download it.
If your console doesn't need an update and you still can't play any game disks, your console will need service. Go to the Online Service Centre and click Start Request to request a repair.
Note If you're having trouble with only one of your game disks, go to Solution 6 to avoid an unnecessary repair.
Solution 6: Replace the game
If none of the previous solutions resolve the problem and you still can't play a particular disk, go to Xbox One game disk replacement for instructions on how to replace a Microsoft game. For non-Microsoft games, contact the game's publisher about its game disk replacement policy.
Important If none of your games or disks play, go to the following section, None of my disks play, or my disk isn't recognised when I insert it. This information may help you avoid replacing a disk unnecessarily.
Try the following solutions if none of your disks will play or if you insert a disk and it isn't recognised, as indicated by the Xbox Dashboard telling you to insert a disk when a disk is already inserted. In these scenarios, there are two possible issues:
Solution 1: If you use Instant-on power mode, change power modes and power cycle the console
Here's how:
Follow these steps if the problem happens again.
Solution 2: Request a repair
If the previous solution didn't resolve the issue, your console will need to be repaired. Go to the Online Service Centre and click Start Request to request a repair.
If you're having problems with a game disk that loads but won't install, see The installation process stops at or near 0% when installing an Xbox One game from a disk.
If your disk loads but isn't recognised (the console tells you to insert a disk even though you already have), see the previous section, None of my disks play, or my disk isn't recognised when I insert it.
If your disk is stuck in your console, see Manually eject a disk from your Xbox One console.
Check the previous troubleshooting steps to make sure that you need a new disk rather than a console repair. After reading this page, if you determine that you do need to replace your disk, see Xbox One game disk replacement.
If you hear a grinding noise when you insert a disk or when playing it, your console may need service. Go to the Online Service Centre and click Start Request to request a repair.
Repair or warranty questions? See Xbox One warranty and registration FAQ.
Note If you're having any disk-related problems, make sure your console is placed horizontally on a flat, stable surface. The console isn't designed to operate in a vertical position because it could affect disk drive performance. For more information, see How to position your Xbox One console.
Thanks for your feedback!

Lawmakers probe widening generals scandal
But Obama did put on hold Allen's nomination to become the next commander of U.S. European Command as well as the NATO supreme allied commander in Europe, at the request of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, until Pentagon investigators are able to sift through the 20,000-plus pages of documents and emails that involve Allen and Kelley.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Wednesday that he had "full confidence" in Allen and looked forward to working with him if he is ultimately confirmed.
The FBI decided to turn over the Allen information to the military once the bureau recognized it contained no evidence of a federal crime, according to a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record and demanded anonymity. Adultery, however, is a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Allen, 58, worked to save his imperiled career. He told Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that he is innocent of misconduct, according to Col. David Lapan, Dempsey's spokesman.
At a news conference Wednesday in Perth, Australia, Panetta said, "No one should leap to any conclusions," and said he is fully confident in Allen's ability to continue to lead in Afghanistan. He added that putting a hold on Allen's European Command nomination was the "prudent" thing to do.
Known as a close friend of Petraeus, Kelley, 37, triggered the FBI investigation that led to the retired four-star general's downfall as CIA director when she complained about getting anonymous, harassing emails. They turned out to have been written by Broadwell, who apparently was jealous of the attention the general paid to Kelley.
In the course of looking into that matter, federal investigators came across what a Pentagon official called potentially inappropriate communications between Allen and Kelley, both of them married.
Kelley served as a sort of social ambassador for U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla., hosting parties for Petraeus when he was commander there from 2008-10. The friendship with the Petraeus began when they arrived in Tampa, and the Kelleys threw a welcome party at their home, a short distance from Central Command headquarters, introducing the new chief and his wife, Holly, to Tampa's elite, according to staffers who served with Petraeus.

The Register has just announced that Mike Singleton, of Lords of Midnight and Doomdarks Revenge fame (amongst others) has passed away.
Game over for legendary 1980s games designer Mike Singleton ? Reg Hardware
I'd just like to thank Mike for chewing up so many evenings in my teenage years.
RIP epic game fella.

It's such a shame. I was not born in the 80's but I know that that was the turning point for narrative in games and he was the father of it. RIP Mike Singleton.
Lords of Midnight, what an astounding game. One of the top ten games which pushed the 48k to the absolute limit.

According to CBC-TV, some 85 percent of those voting on whether WikiLeaks should release huge numbers of US State Department documents believed it should. The CBC said the number of responses - 60,000 - was one of the highest ever for its self-generated (unscientific) polls.
Is the 85 percent of CBC website users correct in its call for total openness? Is it important to have everything a government does, says, or thinks made public? Are we all voyeurs treating government confidential materials and actions as if they were of no more consequences than Lindsay Lohan's latest titillating brush with substance abuse?
This WikiLeaks release of 250,000 US documents (including 1,958 sent from Ottawa), rolling out in installments all week, is in fact a disaster, putting forth American secrets for all to see, including frank comments made by officials about foreign leaders. Diplomacy relies on confidentiality, but now some lives may be put at risk and some policies may be endangered, a high price to pay for WikiLeaks' self-assumed mission of putting all secrets on display. What is certain is that officials ever after will likely feel unable to report or speak bluntly for fear their despatches or comments will be published. It will be much like the effect that Access to Information legislation had on Canadian bureaucrats who, once the law came into force, began to keep their real records at home, away from their ministry's access coordinators' scrutiny.
The fallacy here is the widespread belief that the crowd is always right, a view much encouraged by Wikipedia and its users. WikiLeaks does its thing, essentially protected by the cheers of the 85 percent. Julian Assange, WikiLeaks' devil-in-chief, somehow escapes prosecution because he has popular support and lives in hiding. It is long past time to bring this man down. Even governments have some rights to privacy, and someone must educate the crowd to realities of diplomacy and the meaning of simple rights and wrongs.

Lucky Breakdown: Fans Take Stranded Dave Matthews To Show
Originally published on Mon July 15, 2013 7:50 pm
You're a huge Dave Matthews fan. As you're going to his band's show Saturday in Hershey, Pa., you see a guy standing by the side of the road next to a bike with a flat tire.
Do you stop to help?
Well, when you see that it's Dave himself, you certainly do.
That's just what happened to Emily Kraus and her boyfriend Joe.
Now, you may have heard about all this by now — and about how Dave arranged for Emily and Joe to come backstage before the show and to sit down front during it. He certainly had good reasons to be thankful, since he didn't have a cellphone and they had a car that just happened to already have a bike rack on the back.
But have you seen video of Dave telling the story to his fans in Hershey? There's a pretty good clip posted here. Dave launches into the story at about the 55-second mark. He tells it in his own unique way (as one YouTube commenter wonders, "is he incapable of speaking normally?").
There's also audio here of a very excited Emily telling the story her way to Philadelphia's 1210 WPHT. We love what she said when she pulled up beside the stranded musician — "Dave?"
Update at 6:15 p.m. ET. Ford Offers "Tips For Picking Up Random Rock Icons":
Seeing that Emily was driving one of their cars — a Focus — the communications folks at Ford decided to weigh in. They've sent us "tips for picking up random rock icons;" including:
-- "Have your music player loaded with his music."
-- "Make sure your car has plenty of legroom."
-- "Get the car safely to his venue."
-- "Stay well stocked with beverages."
-- "Have sure-fire ways to communicate."
-- "Carry tire tubes and patch kits."
And guess, what, the Ford folks say, their Focus can do all that! What a coincidence!
One thing we weren't so keen on: Ford suggests stocking a Focus with "trendy drinks ... whether it's acai juice or squeezed avocado."
Squeezed avocado?

Alliance Will Add Student, Educator and Parent Input into the Development of New Educational Resources
Irvine, Calif. – 1105 Media announced today a collaborative partnership between the 1105 Media Education Group and Project Tomorrow that will address the growing demand for more data to develop effective education technology products. The goal of this partnership is to share the insights and opinions of students, teachers, administrators and parents from the national Speak Up surveys with leaders in the educational technology market.
Speak Up data has been informing policymakers, education leaders and the public about students', teachers' and parents' views on their own technology use and aspirations since 2003. To date, more than one million respondents have been surveyed. With the additional audiences and resources provided by 1105 Media, Project Tomorrow will expand the reach and exposure of Speak Up nationwide.
The 1105 Media Education Group will develop products and services – powered by Speak Up data and expertise – that companies need to better serve the nation's schools. Some of the planned products and services include custom publishing based upon the Speak Up data, consulting services to help with product development, and a new Speak Up online newsletter.
"Speak Up is unique in the education market because they provide unfiltered opinions from those 'on the ground' in the schools," said Wendy LaDuke, president and group publisher, 1105 Media Education Group. "In addition to asking about the types of technology being used today, they are asking students and teachers about the tools and resources they need to improve teaching and learning. We believe the additional information and services we provide will open new conversations and opportunities among those developing tools for our nation's schools."
Project Tomorrow compiles, analyzes and reports the Speak Up findings. "The insights we've been gathering each year from schools around the country have been used by education administrators, business leaders and elected officials to inform their decision-making," said Julie Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow. "This partnership is coming at the perfect time to help those who are developing the educational tools and resources of tomorrow meet the needs identified by their end users – students and teachers."
"Project Tomorrow helps parents, educators and the community at large understand student technology use, equipping them with data to make key decisions on learning and funding at school and at home," added Evans. "Working with 1105 Media, we will now be able to reach an important new audience with our research--those who produce and market the products and technologies."
The Speak Up 2008 surveys for K-12 students, teachers, parents and administrators are online through December 19, 2008 at http://www.tomorrow.org/speakup/. By participating in Speak Up, schools and districts gain free online access to their own aggregated quantitative data – with national benchmark data for comparison. National data findings will be released in a Congressional Briefing in spring 2009.

The 1105 Education Group includes T.H.E. Journal, Campus Technology and Education Channel Partner publications and their respective online offerings; EducationPlaza, a state-specific marketplace for products and services; EduHound, an online resource for teachers and classrooms; and live events for both the K-12 and higher education markets, including FETC, the Innovative Learning Conference, the annual Campus Technology conference, and the Congress on the Future of Content.
