Where will seniors live?
Fast-growing market presents opportunity and obstacles for homebuilders

With a baby boomer turning 55 every eight seconds for the next 17 years, the senior housing market is already strong, with new projects opening throughout the Sacramento region.
But low incomes, a devastating recession and high costs of care present challenges both for seniors and developers. Affordable and high-end projects alike face obstacles.
The loss of redevelopment money hinders the development of low-income housing. At the same time, the high cost of assisted living is a barrier for many. Also, not everyone has the means to buy a house in an active 55-plus senior master-planned community by Del Webb or other such builders.
Developers often use tax credits to provide homes for low-income individuals, such as Vintage at Laguna II, a 69-unit community for people 55 and older that opened Oct. 17 on Big Horn Boulevard in Elk Grove.
The developer, USA Properties Fund of Roseville, also recently finished a senior housing project in Petaluma. It also is buying and renovating two developments in Southern California, and is preparing a new senior project in south Sacramento County. Other developers have affordable senior projects proposed or built in Rancho Cordova, Auburn and other communities.
Meanwhile, more ambitious and costly facilities that provide a higher level of care are being built.
Summerset Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility — a $14.2 million, 128-bed, 80,000-square-foot project in Rancho Cordova — started construction Oct. 11 and should be finished in 2013. In Elk Grove, Carlton Plaza, a $24 million, 110,000-square-foot project on Elk Grove Boulevard, will provide a range of support from independent living to memory care when it opens next month.

4. Windows 8 Struggles
It's been a tough year for Microsoft. The company's newest operating system struggled to jumpstart PC sales this year, and while some channel partners reported little to no demand for Windows 8, others were actively downgrading clients to Windows 7. Part of the issue was the brand new interface that was designed for a touchscreen experience, which proved too unfamiliar for many PC users. Another issue was the removal of the "Start Menu" button, which robbed users of a much-needed light post. While the release of Windows 8.1 has helped fix some issues, VARs are still waiting for the OS to have a positive impact on their businesses.

rogers US 1339137 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) EDWIN M. noenns, on NEW YORK, 1v. Y. AIR-LIFT APPARATUS. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented May 4, 1920. Application filed August 29, 1919. Serial No. 320,652. To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, EDWIN M. Roenns, a citizen of the United States, residing in New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Air-Lift Apparatus, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to the class of fluidelevating apparatus which is usually designated as air-lifts. A principal object of the present improvements is to organize and equip an air-lift apparatus in such a manner as to improve the efliciency and range of commercial applicability of this class of fluid elevating means; and to furnish an airlift adapted to operate by an improved method or system. In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1, is a side elevation of an air-lift apparatus organized in accordance with my present invention. Fig. 2, is a sectional and partly diagrammatic side view (drawn 011 a relatively larger ale than Fig. 1,) of a mid-length portion of the apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a sectional and partly diagra1nmatic side view (on a relatively larger scale than Fig. 1,) of said mid-length portion of the apparatus showing the perforations or apertures in the upper pipe or uptake, and without liquid in said mid-length portion. Fig. 3, is a sectional and partly diagrammatic side view of a modified form of the mid-length portion of the apparatus illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. Similar characters designate like parts in all the figures. I In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. l, the total submergence effect should correspond, substantially as in-ordinary practice, to the total height to which the fluid is to be elevated and the quantity of air used for aerating the uptake column to sufliciently reduce the weight thereof as compared with the weight, or gravity effect, of the submergence column. In some instances, if de sired, the total submergence' efiect maybe obtained by a relatively short height of the submergence column combined with a mechanically operated fluid-impelling means; this arrangement is not herein illustrated, but one form thereof is described in Letters Patent of the United States Number 1,319,797, granted to me October 28th, 1919, aerating means or device, whereby the air supplied thereto may be so incorporated into, or mixed with the fluid, as to aerate properly the ascending fluid column. In practice I prefer to employ as such aerating means, an ordinary perforated air-lift nozzle,preferably with the usual surrounding hood (not herein shown) whereby to subdivide finely or comminute the air into small masses or bubbles. In Fig. 1, the aerating device is indicated at A, (but only in a diagrammatic manner) in a position for aerating the fluid column at a point at or near to the lower end of said pipe P; in this instance the effective head, or height of the 'submergence column is shown by the distance line 6. The first, or lower air-lift comprising the pipe P, and the second or upper air-lift comprising the pipe P are in coacting relation through a de-aerating chamber or tank, as C, which is a closed chamber, and is arranged for air and liquid separation; that is said chamber is closed as to the atmosphere, and closed excepting as to the inlet and outlet pipes or passage-ways, while the apparatus is in use. In practice, however, where the apparatuses are of large size, said chamber should be provided with suitable hand-holds, or with man-holes (not herein shown) for access to the interior, in accordance with a well known practice as regards boilers and tanks. Also, said chamber C, may be provided interiorly' with bafl'le plates or other well known means (not herein shown) for accelerating or otherwise controlling the separating of the air from the aerated liquid. In the present instance, said aerated liquid is discharged into the chamber 0 from said lower air-lift pipe P, and the upper end of this pipe is indicated as being in a position for establishing in the chamber (while the apparatus is in normal or full operation) a normal fluid end or level, at about the height indicated by the dotted line v, below which the li aid in the chamber C becomes, or may be esignated, as dc-aerated, since it will then retain only a small proportion of the air contained therein at the time of maximum aeration. The mode of action of said lower air-lift is in accordance with the usual practice in this art, except that, as already indicated,- the total submergence effect should be suflicient for the entire height to which the fluid is to be elevated, which in this instance is the distance shown by the line an, Fig. 1, from the aerator at A to the discharge end of the upper pipe P the air being supplied from a compressor (not shown) through an air pipe P is introduced into the liquid column through the nozzle or aerator A in the form of small bubbles which thus aerate and lighten the fluid. When the air bubbles ascend from the aerator A in said lower pipe P, they are of small size, but constantly increase in size as they move upward, since the fluid itself constantly decreases in pressure as it moves upwardly. Now, in practice, it is known that the air bubbles not only displace fluid, (and so li hten the fluid column), but they have a ten ency to float upwardly in the fluid and with relation to the column and thereby, throu h this slippage and the friction in volve ,cause a very material loss of power and efficiency. Also, it appears the slippage of air bubbles increases during the expansion thereof, which may be due to the circumstance that the surface of the bubble increases less rapidly than the volume during such expansion, 6., as the square and as the cube, respectively, of the diameters. Said expansion of the air bubbles results in a constantly increasing velocity and pipesurface friction of the fluid column at successive points upwardly from the aerator, and also correspondingly increases the volume of a given weight of the aerated fluid, as this approaches the discharge end of the air-lift pipe; these phenomena are understood to occur in each of the air-lift pipes P and P Under these conditions, and for the reasons above briefly explained, it has been found in practice, undesirable because of waste and loss, to employ the air lift system in many situations to which otherwise, this system would be well adapted. In applying my present invention, it is contemplated to limit said lower air-lift line or uptake, as pipe P, to such moderate distance or height as will avoid any considerable loss of power by reason of increasing slippage, and to discharge the associated air and liquid directly into the aforesaid chamber C, for separation. From this chamber C, the second or upper air-lift pipe P extends upwardly to the height required; or if this total height is deemed too great for economy of operation, two or more of the de-aerating chambers may be used in some instances. For the purpose of restoring or regenerating the air bubbles when introduced into the upper pipe or u take P after loss of power and efficiency, have devised a novel and peculiar means, Figs. 1, 2 and 2, comprising perforations or apertures N in the lower end of the upper pipe or uptake P above the intake end thereof, said perforations or apertures N being adapted and arranged for aerating the liquid in said upper pipe or uptake P by air supplied from the chamber C after separation from aerated liquid discharged from said lower pipe P into said chamber, the air in passing into said pipe P through said perforations or apertures N being comminuted or sub-divided into small bubbles with the power and efliciency incident thereto. Thus the fluid after being once aerated and de-aerated is re-aerated in the upper pipe or uptake P by a re-use of the same air supplied to the fluid at the lower end of said air-lift ipe P. By the perforations or apertures l\, the air may be subdivided or comminuted in a regular and uniform manner, and I provide for converting into bubbles of the desired small size the whole quantity of separated air. A modified form of the means for re' aerating is illustrated in Fig. 3, in which the lower pipe or uptake P" is provided with an enlargement which aflords an air and liquid separation chamber C The chamber C is provided with a re-aerating member R, supported in the chamber C by suitable means, such as the bars or rods 6. The member R is somewhat like an inverted cup, the lower portion of which is arranged as a receiving portion for the segregated air. and the upper portion of which is provided with perforations or apertures N for regenerating or comminuting the air received in the lower portion of the member R. The upper pipe or up-take P is arranged as a continuation of, or in the line of the lower pipe or up-take P. This modified form, 'Fig. 3, is not specifically claimed herein, but 18 the subject of a separate application Serial No. 371,392. If necessary to provide for an increased number of air-bubbles in the upper pipe P P due to such re-aeration, the cross-sectional area of the upper pipes P P may be made proportionately larger than that of the lower pipes P, P, this arrangement providing for the same, or nearly the same, upward velocity of the aerated fluid in the lower part of the pipes P, P, and P P Since, as well known, the function of the air bubbles is to lighten the specific gravity of a given mass of the content of the column, it is obvious that any available gases second air-lift column leading upwardly from said chamber; and means within said chamber for comminuting the segregated air and delivering this comminuted air into said secend air-lift column. 2. In an air-lift, in combination, two airlift columns positioned at successive elevations, respectively, and a columns-connecting receptacle in position and arranged for receiving aerated liquid from a lower said column, and for de-aerating said aerated liquid and delivering this de-aerated liquid to an upper said column, said receptacle being provided with means in position and adapted for comminuting the air received from said lower column and delivering this comminuted air into said upper column. In an air-lift, in combination, a first air-lift column provided with means for aerating therein an up-fiowing stream of liquid; a laterally closed chamber arranged for receiving a stream of aerated liquid from said first air-lift column; a second airlift column leading out of said chamber and extending upwardly therefrom; and, means appurtenant to said chamber and second air-lift column for de-aerating the liquid received from said first column and comminutin the air thereof, and delivering this comminuted air into said second column at a position above the level of the de-acrated liquid in said chamber. l. In an air-lift, in combination, a first air-lift column provided with means for aerating therein an up-flowing stream of liquid; a laterally closed chamber arranged for receiving a stream of aerated liquid from said first air-lift column; a second a1r lift column leading out of sald chamber and extending upwardly therefrom, and having an inlet in position for receiving from said chamber a stream of de-aerated liquid; and means appurtenant to said seoond air-lift column for re-aerating the liquid received from said first column, said means comprising an air-comminuting device in position for delivering the comminuted air into said second column. 5. In an air-lift, in combination, a first air-lift column provided with means for aerating therein an up-fiowing stream or liquid; a laterally closed chamber arranged for receiving a stream of aerated liquid from said first air-lift column; a second airlift column leading out of said chamber and extending upwardly therefrom, and having an inlet in position for receiving from said chamber a stream of de-aerated liquid; and means appurtenant to said chamber and second air-lift column for de-aerating the liquid received from said first column, and comminuting the air thereof, said means comprising an air-comminuting device in position and arranged for delivering the comminuted air into said second column at a position above the level of the de-aerated liquid in said column. 6. That improvement in the art of airlifting liquids, which consists in aerating by comminuted aeration-air, a column of liquid in a first uptake conduit which is subject to submergence-effect; next, at a height where the aeration-air has expanded and partially coalesced segregating said air and delivering the liquid into a second up take conduit; and, then, subjecting the segregated air to recomminution and subjecting the liquid, after entering said second conduit, to re-aeration by said re-comminuted air. 7. That improvement in the art of airlifting liquids, which consists in subjecting a column of liquid in an uptake conduit and under a submergence-effect to two successive aerations and at a point where the aeration-air has expanded and partially coalesced segregating and eomminuting the aeration-air and then returning this comminuted air into the liquid for the re-aeration thereof.

Memphis, TN - The Iowa Cubs shuffle their roster with a series of moves today. The Chicago Cubs recalled RH Blake Parker and optioned LH Chris Rusin to Iowa. SS Javy Baez has been placed on the disabled list and INF Edgar Gonzalez has been activated. OF Jae-Hoon Ha has been re-assigned to double-A Tennessee and RH Eduardo Figueroa joins Iowa from extended spring training to start this afternoon's game in Memphis.
Parker has not allowed a run in three innings and has earned one save in three appearances with Iowa this year. Parker is Iowa's all-time saves leader with 42 in 159 games with the I-Cubs. This is Parker's third call to the big leagues. He made seven appearances with Chicago in 2012 and was 1-2 with a 2.72 ERA (14ER/46.1IP) and one save in 49 big league games last season.
Rusin was recalled by Chicago yesterday and pitched five innings in relief at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. He allowed one run on three hits in five innings. He will rejoin the team back in Des Moines when the team returns home on Tuesday.
Baez is on the DL, effective April 11, with a left ankle sprain. He sustained the injury while taking ground balls during batting practice before Friday's series opener in Memphis. Baez is batting .154 (4-for-26) with a double, two home runs, and three RBI in eight games. Gonzalez was on the DL to begin the season and hasn't played in a game yet this year.
Ha joined the Cubs from extended spring training on Friday. He played two innings in left field last night, but didn't have a plate appearance in his only game with Iowa.
Figueroa makes his triple-A debut on the mound today. Last year, he split the season between high-A Daytona and Tennessee, going 3-6 with a 3.43 ERA (33ER/86.2IP) in 30 games, including eight starts. This is Figueroa's eighth season in the Cubs' organization. The Venezuela native signed with the Cubs as a non-drafted free agent on May 17, 2007.
The Cubs and Redbirds play game three of a four-game series this afternoon at 1:35. The game will be broadcast live on AM 940, and streamed live at iowacubs.com, with the On-Deck Circle Pre-Game Show starting at 1:15.

Four arms to add
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- Every season, pitchers who were readily available on the free agent wire in April go on to become reliable arms for someone's fantasy staff.
For example, Bartolo Colon, Patrick Corbin and Travis Wood in 2013.
Even if you drafted Yu Darvish, Jose Fernandez and Chris Sale, you can always use extra starters.
And if you came out of the draft with a lackluster group of pitchers, getting your hands on one or two of these "April aces" can help lessen the gap between you and the owner who invested a lot in pitching.
It's also up to fantasy owners to decide which pitchers' hot starts are for real and which are not.
Below are four pitchers in which I'd invest some of my free agent budget.
Jesse Chavez, Oakland Athletics
- Chavez is 30 years old, has played for five MLB teams in his career and owns a career ERA of 5.27. But he's been a different pitcher since he stepped into an Athletics uniform (probably because it's such a great uni set, especially those new road greens with the A's logo on the left breast). In 57 1/3 relief innings last season, Chavez had a 3.92 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP and 55 Ks. He won a spot in the Athletics rotation by posting a 2.22 ERA and a 25/6 K/BB in 28 1/3 innings this spring; his case was helped immensely by injuries to Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin, but it's not like he didn't deserve it. And he has started off 2013 by giving up two earned runs on 11 hits with a 13/2 K/BB in 13 frames.
Tyler Skaggs, Los Angeles Angels
- Skaggs is throwing hard again, and that's the main reason why his outlook is positive. The former top-10 overall prospect averaged 92.2 mph with his four-seamer and 91.9 mph with his sinker in his first start of the season, an eight-inning, four-hit, no-run gem against the Houston Astros. Skaggs averaged below 90 with his four-seamer and below 89 with his sinker in his first two seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks and registered a 5.43 ERA in 68 innings, but he has ironed out his mechanical issues.
Garrett Richards, Los Angeles Angels
- Richards had a 157/85 K/BB and a 4.42 ERA in his first 230 innings in the majors, but he throws hard (94.9 mph fastball) and had a 57.9 percent ground-ball rate last season. The right- hander has walked eight batters in 12 innings this season, but he has struck out 13 and allowed just four hits and one run. He limited the Mariners, who tagged Angels pitchers for 31 runs in their first four meetings, to one hit and no runs Wednesday night.
Nathan Eovaldi, Miami Marlins
- Eovaldi is another flamethrower -- he averaged 96.1 mph on his four-seamer last year, tops among pitchers with at least 100 innings -- and he had a 3.39 ERA in 2013. The right-hander also walked 3.39 batters per nine innings and struck out just 6.60, which tempered excitement. In his first 13 innings this season, however, he has issued just one free pass and fanned 14 batters while allowing five runs on 12 hits.

Yvan was very friendly and gave us good advise how to get around in paris. we also could borrow a city map with all the metro and bus lines which was very helpful. there was everything provided by the host- from bath towels to hairdryer to coffee:) The place was cosy and quiet in the heart of Montmartre and we had everything we needed. we felt very safe. we can very warmly recommend this place.
yvan's place was exactly as described! beautiful, charming, and in the perfect location. it's a few minutes' walk from the sacre couer and also from the most amazing panoramic view of paris. i loved montmartre and would choose it again and again over staying in the city center. it was filled with a lot of younger/hip parisians and not as many tourists. from the airport, the train system will take you just a few minutes walk from the place for 10 euros, and yvan's directions were easy to follow. perfect for the solo traveler like me, and yvan was so welcoming and helpful when my flight got canceled and i had to rush out in the morning. highly recommended. make sure you actually check out montmartre while there, instead of just going straight to the city center. it's perfect, really. thanks, yvan!
Yvan was a fabulous host! He made us feel at home in his beautiful apartment and was most considerate and helpful. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with him about life in Paris.
Yvan's place in Montmartre was amazing. Really close to Sacre Coeur, Place du Tetre and nice restaurants and boulangeries, but still in a quiet street. So location wise, this was perfect. Yvan is a great host, he welcomed us when we arrived and had nice suggestions. The apartment itself is very beautiful and the room is spacious and comfortable. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and we highly recommend this place.
Yvan est un hôte vraiment superbe, il m'a accueillie chaleureusement et a répondu à toutes mes questions. L'appartament est très bien situé, c'est la rue petite et calme qui se trouve à côté des restaurants et cafés, Basilique du Sacré Cœur et Cimetière de Montmartre sont à 15 minutes de marche. La chambre est agréable, lumineuse et cosy. Il fait un peu froid la nuit, mais le chauffage est très utile. Merci Yvan pour un très bon séjour!
Yvan a été très disponible et est une personne très agréable .
Yvan s'est bien occupé de notre fils, lequel ne connaissait pas Paris et avait besoin de repères et de conseils. La chambre est très confortable et l'appartement est très bien situé. Un grand succès!

Turns out Tinder and Chartboost have a few things in common.
With Valentine's Day approaching, we've been thinking about the place where people speak today's love language: the online dating world. While Chartboost doesn't have an algorithm for compatibility or promise to introduce you to "the one" in the conventional sense, it does provide a space where you can build a relationship with another mobile game developer — through the Direct Deals Marketplace. As with dating sites, you create a profile, join groups and browse potential matches. And, just like on, say, OkCupid, the way you find the best match depends on some important etiquette.

The trick to height is all in the illusion, girlies. When you pile on the same color head to toe, your body appears longer. How can you get the look? Slip on a your best LBD and work it with black tights and black heels. But keep in mind you don't hafta go goth (unless you want to!). We like to mix in some vibrant hues.

You may not be the kind of girl who digs the high-waisted look in jeans or shorts, but trust me, it really does the trick in dresses. An empire waist visually lifts your torso up higher, making it seem like your legs go for miles in the process

Even the biggest, most formalized MOOCs, some of which are built on linear talking-head videos and automated grading, change the game a little. Not in the tools. Simply being online doesn't develop digital literacies terribly quickly or effectively.
But interacting at scale, even in a large network aimed at having the teacher at the traditional centre, does. Because when there are 30 or even 300 students in a course, the teacher can be expected to be the audience for that student's engagement.
But in a course of 3,000 or 30,000 or 100,000, that expectation fails. Fast. Maybe even fast enough that the students who only dip into a MOOC long enough to get disoriented and confused about the whole process begin to understand that it's possible to be a student and still be self-directed, not teacher-directed.
To me, is the most important digital literacy there is. And it is the one that will gradually - maybe - bring change to education.

Nunnelee resting after surgery to remove brain tumor
Published: June 10,2014
Tags: Alan Nunnelee, brain tumor, Congress, Congressman, politician, Politics, republican, surgery, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
JACKSON — A Republican congressman from north Mississippi is recovering from brain surgery.
Rep. Alan Nunnelee of Tupelo had the surgery yesterday at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to remove a small mass found on his brain.
A statement released by Nunnelee's office says family members indicate the surgery went well and that Nunnelee is resting comfortably.
Spokeswoman Elizabeth Parks has said Nunnelee is expected to be out of his office for several weeks.
Nunnelee was hospitalized in May after experiencing nausea and fatigue, with doctors finding what Nunnelee describes as an "isolated" intracranial mass on the right side of his brain.
The 55-year-old says staff will keep him informed of legislative business during his recovery.
First elected to the U.S. House in 2010, Nunnelee is seeking re-election.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
2 incomes... too many goals?
After six-figure reno, couple wonders about impact on future plans
Murray and Addison recently completed a $200,000 renovation on their home. While they're happy in their newly refurbished abode, Murray is uncomfortable about carrying so much debt.
"I don't like debt," says the government worker in his mid-40s.
"We live quite normally, but my comfort zone is when I retire in another 10 to 15 years, I'd like to be mortgage-free, and now I don't think we will be."
While the couple earns a combined income of almost $150,000 before taxes and deductions, they now owe about $319,000 on their mortgage.
Although their home is worth more than $500,000, they're not exactly house-poor. They do have other assets, such as a rental property worth about $230,000 that is free and clear. And they also have about $98,000 in RRSPs, TFSAs and other savings, including about $17,000 in a savings account. Murray says he contributes about $600 every two weeks to the account, which is used mainly for emergencies.
Ideally, they want to retire in their 50s. Addison, also a public servant, plans to retire at 55, with Murray hopefully retiring at the same time at about age 58.
By then, their only child should be midway through college. Addison and Murray hope to pay the tab and already have reached the maximum for RESP grant money, with $22,000 in savings set aside. On top of that, they'd also like to send their child to a private school but wonder whether they can afford the additional cost.
Until recently, they haven't worried too much about these kinds of issues, but following the big renovation, they're a little more anxious about money.
"Does our lifestyle make sense?" Murray asks. "Are we saving enough?"
Certified financial planner Darren Quiring, with Edward Jones in Winnipeg, says Addison and Murray should have little trouble achieving all their goals, providing they keep their eyes on the prize, or prizes, in their case.
This means they need to pay more attention to where their money is going.
"I see what they're clearing as income and then look at their expenses, and somehow about $800 a month is going somewhere," says the financial adviser. This points to a need for better budgeting.
Although they have been living quite well, able to pay down debt and save substantially, they are spending about $10,000 a year in unaccounted expenses. This money could go a long way toward reaching their goals.
For example, they could use the additional cash to increase their bi-weekly mortgage payments from $720 to $930. Taking that step alone will see their mortgage eliminated by the time they retire. That's an early retirement, too -- just the way they want it.
Quiring says, based on his projections, Addison can retire at 55 and Murray at 58 and be comfortably funded well into their 80s.
"They are in good shape because of their pensions."
Yet they will need their savings, too.
Based on current contributions to RRSPs and a four per cent annual growth rate, the couple's savings will last until their late 80s. At that point, they would still have their home and rental property as assets to draw upon if they need additional cash.
Yet Quiring says it's likely the long-term picture could be a little rosier because he deliberately included wiggle room in his estimates.
"I underestimated their incomes from their pensions by not factoring increases in their income over time and overestimated their expenses, leaving in a fudge factor," he says.
So they can retire early -- but what about their child?
Quiring says their RESP will be worth more than $55,000 by the time their child is ready for college, likely enough to fund a couple of degrees at least at Winnipeg post-secondary institutions.
The X-factor, however, is private school, because tuition can be costly. At the low end, it's about $5,000 a year, but some programs exceed $17,000 annually.
Yet with a little planning, they do have the ability to cover the cost, Quiring says. If they designate $600 a month -- half of what they're contributing to general savings now -- to an account specifically for this purpose, they should have about $30,000 saved by the time their child enrols in private school. Furthermore, once enrolled, they will no longer have $420-a-month daycare payments. That money can also be used for tuition.
Of course, they still have the mystery cash flow that is evaporating annually on various untracked expenses. This money likely could go a long way to helping them achieve all their goals and more.
While Murray and Addison are in good shape, they need to be mindful of a couple of potential risks.
"One risk is rising interest rates," Quiring says. "That would lengthen their mortgage amortization and make paying it off before retirement that much more difficult."
Their plans could also be derailed if one of them falls seriously ill, so they should examine their work disability plans closely and, if needed, bolster them with critical-illness and additional disability insurance coverage.
Otherwise, the only obstacle in their way is really themselves. Given their high incomes and financial history, "I see no real big problems for them," Quiring says.

Good space but they had to cancel halfway through booking due to landlord not wanting us to park there which made it difficult to find another space at short notice - refund not yet recieved. -
Parking space ok but cancelled the booking halfway througth the week adivisng that her landlord was unhappy to rent out the drive and he would block me in if i parked there...rest of week refunded but hassle for me to find another space by the next day. -
No trouble and easy to book. Will book again. -
Superb place to park if you are using Upminster train station, and much cheaper than the station car park too.

New, self-contained flats for the homeless have been developed at Scunthorpe.
The accommodation for homeless people from around the area will be a new and long-term source of shelter, support and opportunity, it is hoped. The 'place of change' opens next month.
Scotter House, built on the site of a former care home in Dorchester Road, is modelled on the government's Homelessness Change Programme. It will provide self-contained flats – each with its own kitchen and bathroom, for up to 20 people at a time.

Rumour: Grand Theft Auto V aiming for October release
Some firm rumours have appeared to indicate that Grand Theft Auto V may be released as soon as October.
The information originated from the CV and LinkedIn profile of a Rockstar North employee, character animator Alex O'Dwyer suggesting that GTA V is due in October.
The CV and LinkedIn entry have since been pulled but it would be an odd choice for Take-Two given that BioShock Infinite is due out in October and Rockstar have Max Panye 3 out this year.
Analysts such as Stern Agee's Arvind Bhatia have suggested that GTA V is more likely to appear some time between March and May 2013. GameStop has agreed with this assessment as they have not mentioned GTA V as part of their plans for the 2012/2013 financial year. It is also worth noting that GTA V is also absent from Take-Two's plans for the current financial year which would seem to confirm a release in 2013.
Thanks Joystiq.

Front desk staff were unorganized and rude. Room we bioked was not ready and wecwere given the run around
The location and the view was good.
no cork screw in the room; you need to go to front desk to get you wine opened and Starbucks closed super early.
My second time there and looking to come back! Great location, more than descent hotel, no luxury but its just right. Not dirty, not rundown. I would give it def more than 2 stars.
That it doesnt have a minibar but no problem
Location makes this hotel a good bargain. Make sure you get the upper floors facing towards Waikiki Beach for a nice view. Prices are cheaper compared to other hotels around the area in Waikiki and it's worth it. The lobby has a modern Koi fish pond which was fancy and the room I checked-in was decent. The TV was not HD and was probably less than 20" but they had a good amount of channels. And if you wish, they had a PS3 that was hooked up for you to be able to watch DVDs where you could rent movies in the lobby right next to the elevator entrance. Room service was on point and customer service was pretty good. A/C worked nicely and the bath tub is nice after a long day if you're by yourself.
I would not recommend this hotel if you are on a honeymoon or on a romantic get-away and luxury and comfort is your prime concern. Note that Wi-Fi is only in the lobby and to get the best service you might have to pay out-of-pocket. There are two sets of elevators on each side of the elevator entrance, dividing the hotel basically in half. In order to get to the other side of the hotel, you have to go all the way down to the 1st floor and use the elevators on the other side of the elevator entrance. Pretty confusing but you will get it once your there. It shouldn't be a problem aslong you get seperate rooms on the same side of the hotel. Another thing is how the rooms are set up. I am not sure if it is like this for all floors but in my case, I was booked on the 25th floor, but the only way to access my floor was to take the elevator to the 26th floor and find my way down a flight of stairs to get to my room; It was kind of like a maze with 3-4 rooms where the flight of stairs took me down to. It wasn't anything serious but it made me wonder who designed this hotel in the first place...
Location was good.
The A/C and fridge did not work.
Asked for a higher floor and given a room on the 16th floor which was awesome! Everythng about it was great besides the hefty parking cost. We paid more for parking fir 2 days than the actual car rental itself. Wish this hotel was in the middle of everything but walking wasnt too bad. Definitely recommend this place to everyone!
Location, staff and bicycles
Bed was a little old. Needs updating.
Gorgeous polished floors and a lovely sleek decor. Quiet, beautiful. Will return soon!
The staff is wonderful. Hotel is very good to excellent.
The hotel was a block away from the beachThe hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpfulWe were created with warm aromatherapy towels and pinneapple juice upon arrival
- HIDDEN FEES!!! After Paying around $---- for 3 nights we were charged an extra $260 for resort fees, taxes, and an extra $50 PER PERSON/PER NIGHT fee because we had a third person in our room.-Cockroach was found in our room
the staff was very friendly and helpful
there was some street noise
Excellent location. Nice that there is an available laundry available. Decent size rooms. Friendly staff.
Not crazy about Duke's. Mediocre food and service. Pool area is on the small side.
Comfortable, clean, and excellent location. Hotel restaurants are good and have a great view of Waikiki beach.
The gym is almost nonexistent.
The house keeping staff was one of the most courteous I have come across, always getting and smiling.
The room itself looked like it was as add-on room, an afterthought, the entry door was flimsy, the bathroom door squeaked: WD40 goes a long way on all, the bed was comfortable. #109 Parking expensive, other hotels offer Free parking in the area.
Location, parking, convenience, pool
All restuarants were concessions, but will deliver to room. Early check in with sick toddler was denied, but we were upgraded at no charge to a studio.
The maintenance crew and the front desk staff were absolutely wonderful.
Friendly, understanding, and the epitome of Aloha.
Location. Which is convenient for reaching beach and shopping center.
Parking. Even owner has a parking space, needs to pay for parking.
Convenience to the beach and associated activities
Many items dI'd not work such as TV and controller, lobby printer, shower head.
The outside is very decieving from the inside. The outside looks not at all impressive and very motel like. Its seems run down and very low class. But when you step inside i was impressed by the all white room and furniture. There was one bed for two, a futon for two, plus a foldup rolling mattress. I also liked the mini fridge as well. The lobby looks very high class and sophistic.
There was a lack of an iron & ironing board which I deem as a standard supply object in a hotel room. The place could also use a microwave as well.
Large living room with Murphy bed, two bathrooms, nice kitchenette with plates and utensils
Small bedroom, no view on our side of the building
Old, run down rooms. Not big. Staff not very caring.
Proximity to beach
Lanai overlooked hotels air con unit, & public parking lot.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Corsair Neutron Series GTX 480GB SSD Review
Corsair's lock on Link_A_Media Device's controller is holding. We've seen the 240GB capacity sizes of the Neutron and Neutron GTX, and now we get our turn with the massive 480GB drive.Introduction
With OCZ Technology slowing down, or falling off a cliff, depending on who you ask, some say Corsair is next in line to become number one. Number one at what wasn't defined, but it was an interesting conversation with an employee from another manufacturer that clearly had a special place in his heart for Corsair.
At Computex 2012, Corsair had a good showing and appeared like a company that could ride the white horse in the front of the cavalry. Computex brought two new controllers, one from LAMD and one from Novachips, Corsair has an exclusive on the LAMD. This strategy is old hat from SSD manufacturers. We're just used to seeing OCZ Technology wearing the hat, and everyone else waiting for their turn to chime the ME TOO bell.
Prior to the Neutron and Neutron GTX release Corsair sent drives to a few media partners to test even while the firmware was going through the final stages of qualification. This process gave the media an opportunity to really shake the drives down, time to run a lot of tests and more importantly time to really get a feel for the performance and endurance. Corsair came out looking presidential after that.
Today we're looking at the Neutron GTX 480GB, Corsair's current flagship model, in its largest capacity. In the past large capacity drives always came with a catch 22. The large capacity meant lower performance, mainly in the 4K write speed. Today we'll see if the Neutron GTX 480GB manages to keep pace with the 240GB model, and we'll also introduce you to some of our exciting new tests that we've been working on for the last few months.

Rob from USA
The best bank for your money!!
If you are going to spend any time in London this is the way to do it. The fact that the public transportation is a part of this is a no brainer. All the places you can get in with the LP more than pay for it. One of the things that was really helpfully is the booklet I got with the LP which helped me with my planning. Thanks London Pass, hope to hold you soon!!!

The World Bank estimated that Jamaica loses $400 million a year due to violence and crime.
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Roughly 2,000 firearms were melted down in a blazing furnace Tuesday as part of an effort designed to combat gun trafficking and corruption in Jamaica while reducing violent crime.
Police, government and U.N. officials destroyed pistols and revolvers by pitching them into a kiln glowing bright orange at a cement factory in the capital of Kingston. Most of the guns were decommissioned or seized in police operations over the years.
National Security Minister Peter Bunting, who has been in office for just over a month, said the destruction of the weapons is an important first step toward managing the sizable stockpiles of guns in Jamaica and reducing the risk of theft.
"The removal will help to reduce the risks of these weapons being possibly diverted back into the illicit trade," Bunting said at the Jamaica Constabulary Force armory.
William Godnick, a coordinator with the U.N. Regional Center for Peace Disarmament and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, said the destruction of the guns "is the beginning of a long process in which we hope to destroy a much larger quantity."
The primary goal is "to prevent theft and loss," Godnick said.
Last year, a Jamaican police sergeant was sentenced to 15 years in prison for stealing guns and bullets from the Kingston armory. He was arrested after agents seized 18 high-powered weapons and 11,000 rounds of ammunition that were stolen for sale to criminals.
Bunting, who recently announced that he hopes to develop new policies encouraging police use of non-lethal weapons such as Tasers to stem a high rate of police killings, told reporters that reducing stockpiles can also "remove temptation" from rogue officers who may plant weapons.
He said a crime spike so far in 2012 shows that advances the Caribbean country has made combating gangs and crime since 2010 are fragile.
"We can't let up in our efforts to combat crime," Bunting said.
In a report last year, the World Bank estimated that violence and crime cost this Caribbean country roughly $400 million a year.
With arsenals to rival police firepower, gangs whose turf wars have long plagued gritty parts of the island are blamed for the majority of Jamaica's homicides. The large majority of the gangs' weapons are smuggled from the United States.
Illegal guns come in on freighters and in "guns-for-ganja" deals by fishermen, who carry homegrown marijuana to nearby Haiti and return with pistols, revolvers and submachine guns — many of them believed to be from the U.S. as well.
On Wednesday, officials will destroy roughly a half ton of ammunition at the cement factory.
