CEO's New-born Child's Gender Decides Workers' Salaries
After the birth of a child, the head of a company could significantly change the way he looks at his workers and salaries could increase or decrease depending on the baby's gender.
This is being revealed by a new research. The paper, written by Aalborg University economics professor Michael Dahl, University of Maryland Smith School of Business professor Cristian Dezso and Columbia Business School professor David Gaddis Ross, was drawn up with the help of more than 1,600 births to 18,000 male CEOs at 10,655 private companies in Denmark between 1996 and 2006.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the team found that when a male CEO had a baby, his employees' salaries shrunk by 0.2 percent, or about 100 dollars per year, and that figure dropped to 0.4 percent if he fathered a son, the Daily Mail reported.
The authors suggested that this could be because the CEO felt the need to save resources and protect his own family, in the event of financial crisis.
On the other hand, if he had a daughter as his first child, workers wages were more likely to rise, the report suggested.
The report also suggested that a male CEO's salaries rose 6.3 percent after the birth of a son and 3.5 percent after the birth of a daughter.

Editors note on top: A previous version of this article encouraged investors look at the company's financial statements. However, Fuqi has yet to issue last year's 10-K or subsequent quarterly filings. In addition, any reference to LTM in tables or charts below refers to the last 12 reported months from filing for the period ended Sept. 30, 2009.
At Fool.com, we believe in buying great companies for the long term. However, not every company commands a fair price, and many trade for far more than they're actually worth.
In these situations, investors actually have a chance to benefit from a stock's plunge. When shorting a stock, an investor bets that price of a stock will go down, and profits from any downward movement. The practice is risky, inviting unlimited losses while only providing limited upside. However, shorting wildly overvalued companies can also help balance your portfolio against the wild market swings we've seen in previous years.
To find shorting candidates, we screened for stocks with a high percentage of their publicly traded shares sold short. One such stock is Fuqi International (Nasdaq: FUQI ) , with a current short interest of 20.26%. That's pretty high, but let's see how it compares to other companies in its industry:
Source: Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.
Source: Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.
We consider short interest greater than 5% to be a warning sign. While plenty of great companies can carry high short interest, that red flag is your invitation to dig for troubling information that the company's buyers might be missing.
When evaluating short candidates, start by assessing their near-term financial health. To check on Fuqi International's immediate health, we looked at its current ratio, which simply divides its current assets by its current liabilities. The more assets a company has -- cash, inventory, and accounts receivable, among others -- the more easily it should be able to pay off its obligations in times of financial distress.
Fuqi International's ratio in this category was last reported at a solid 4.32. We look for a current ratio greater than 1.0:
Source: Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.

Once we've assessed a company's short-term financial health, next we determine whether it's overstating its earnings. Earnings are meant to show a smoothed-out picture of a company's profit potential over time. However, they're prone to various assumptions and manipulations. Companies can aggressively recognize revenue, or show high earnings even while they pour excessive amounts of cash into capital expenditures that are slowly accounted for over time.
For this reason, it's best to compare free cash flow to earnings. Free cash flow accounts for the actual cash flowing out of or into a business, and then subtracts out actual capital expenditure costs over a given period of time. In the last 12 months it reported, Fuqi International has burned $21 million in cash, while booking $48 million in earnings.
Fuqi International's free cash flow has trailed earnings on average. We consider this a possible warning sign. If free cash flow is showing a consistent trend of underperforming earnings, it could mean that the company is overvalued according to its stated earnings. Alternately, it might be recognizing earnings too aggressively, which could lead to free cash flow declines in the future.

One last consideration for shorting a company is valuation. Excellent companies often trade for prices that aren't justified by their business's long-term outlook. Think back to the dot-com bubble: While technology companies like Amazon.com would eventually produce large profits, at the time, they lacked business models and future earnings streams to justify their mammoth market capitalizations.
The PEG ratio is a simple measure of whether a company is excessively valued. It compares a company's P/E ratio to its estimated growth rate. We compared Fuqi International's expected P/E ratio of the next 12 months relative to its five-year estimated growth rate. As an investor, you'd look for companies trading at P/Es less than their growth rate. As seen in the table below, Fuqi International currently trades at PEG ratio of 0.34.

0.34 |
Ctrip.com International (Nasdaq: CTRP ) |
36.92 |
30.0 |
1.23 |
Source: Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.
With a PEG ratio of less than 1.0, based on the PEG ratio Fuqi International looks attractively valued relative to its expected growth. However, with micro caps analyst estimates are prone to large fudge factors. In the case of Fuqi, the biggest red flag leading to heavy shorting is almost certainly the company's lack of recent filings with security agencies. The company hasn't yet filed its 10-K for last year, and has yet to follow up with any 10-Q's after the third quarter of last year.
The long road to superior shorting
Identifying good short candidates requires diligent research. More importantly, you've got to know where to dig into a company's financial statements. While the measures we showed above are a great start in searching for shorting candidates, red flags like accelerating revenue recognition, aggressive acquisitions to hide underlying financial weakness, and changes in reporting methods can only be spotted by carefully analyzing the notes companies bury deep in their filings.
Finding these opportunities requires skill, but you can do it. That's why John Del Vecchio, CFA, a leading forensic accountant and The Motley Fool's shorting specialist, put together a detailed report that shows you how to spot five serious red flags that can help you detect time bombs in your portfolio and lead you to the next big short.

Description from Knitty.com:
I've loved Noro striped scarves for a long time. For me making a scarf is about as pleasurable as sticking vinegar soaked toothpicks under my toenails. OK, maybe not that bad, but close. But I wanted to capture that stripey look so I created this vest.
To keep the continuity of the colors, the neck is steeked. I know many people are afraid of this technique, but it's a piece to practice your skill. Actually, if you swatch and save your swatch, practice your steeking on that and then head for the vest. You'll be a pro in no time.

Hook up computer to tv
New member Username: Tookien1Mississauga, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-05 | hi everyone, I am new to this forum I just have a question regarding hooking up the PC to a TV. The TV is fairly new, has a s-video output but the only problem is there is no video card in the computer to support the s-video line in. Its not my computer but my brother in laws, the mainboard has no AGP slot in it, only PCI and I don't think they sell anymore PCI's with S-Video output. Can I convert the signal somehow to a S-video out-put from my mainboard, is this possible. I saw some products on the net, but when I go to the store locally they have either no clue as to what I am talking about or they don't know anything about it. If you ask why he wants to do this, its because he usually downloads torrent files off the net and since the formats are usually differant (pal) which comes from europe, he records the movies onto disc in media format file, then opens the movie right from the computer, so its better off just to play it from the computer than DVD players which not often but sometimes don't support the format type. Thanks for any replies |
Bronze Member Username: VermiciouskanidSan Antonio, TX USA Post Number: 13 Registered: Oct-04 | I'll let this speak for itself, for your in-PC solution check out the Xcard.

Unregistered guest | Hi, I am trying to hook up my television to my computer to watch TV from. I purchased a Haupauge mce500 card, along with a sapphire radeon 9600 pro video card that has a svideo output. I used the adapter (that it came with) to convert it to composite. At first I was not getting a display, but after playing with some video settings in the control panel, I now have a black and white image that keeps scrolling down the screen that is kind of fuzzy. It would appear to be an image of what is on my regular vga computer screen. Any pointers would be appreciated. Is this a windows setting? A videocard driver setting? Please email to email@example.com. Michael |

New member Username: PvrconfusedPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | I want to make a PVR to capture HD (unscrambled AND scrambled) as well as the 5.1 sound from my cable provider (Comcast). I assume doing this right means whatever PVR card/sw combination I get needs to capture the audio and video signals from my STB (DCT-5100) outputs and control the cable programming with an IR blaster, as opposed to just processing the raw cable signal from Comcast. I built the computer on an INTEL PERL865 M/B, 2.4 Ghz, with .5 gb memory, 250gb drive, and a Radeon 7000 video driver. TV is a Sony 36XBR400. I have just spent the last three days trying unsuccessfuly to google which PVR card/software combination to buy to achieve that goal. Pretty frustrating. No card seems to be able to do what I want, or if something does, the hype gets in the way of the facts. Clarity will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Stephenson Underwear Inventory B33 12 February 1919 1 os folder
Return to the Alphabetical List of All Online Finding Aids
Processed by: Christina Baich, March 2006
Organizational History:
Stephenson Underwear Mills began as the A. C. Staley Manufacturing Company. Alexander C. Staley started the company in South Bend, Indiana, in 1855. In 1888, C. B. Stephenson joined the company. The company grew, acquiring the Porcelain Ware Factory (1896) and the Indiana Paper Mill (1904). In 1907, the company was reorganized and incorporated as the Stephenson Underwear Mills. The company manufactured blankets, men's sweaters, and men's woolen underwear. The last remaining building of the complex, located at 322 East Colfax Avenue, is on the National Register of Historic Places (1995) and privately owned.

Correction: The State Democratic Central Committee did not contribute $1,028.50 to the No on Measure O campaign, contrary to a report below. The contribution was actually an in-kind donation to the Monterey County Democratic Committee but was mis-filed by the county elections department. The county Democratic Committee has decided to remain neutral on Measure O, the June 3 ballot initiative that seeks public acquisition of California American Water's Monterey water system.
A committee sponsored by California American Water is backing a lawsuit challenging the Public Water Now ballot argument in support of the June initiative aimed at forcing a public acquisition of the Monterey Peninsula water system.
The lawsuit, naming Peninsula businessman and anti-tax activist Rick Heuer as plaintiff, alleges the argument in favor of Measure O is "replete with false and/or misleading statements" and seeks to bar Monterey County Registrar of Voters Claudio Valenzuela from printing the argument unless 16 sentences are stricken.
In addition to naming Valenzuela, the suit names the ballot argument's five signatories: League of Women Voters of Monterey County president Beverly Bean, Public Water Now managing director Ron Cohen, Democratic Women of Monterey County past president Priscilla Helm Walton, Monterey Peninsula College instructor Alan Haffa and businessman Richard Stilwell.
The suit, filed last week in Monterey County Superior Court, alleges that the pro-O argument inaccurately suggests the initiative would result in public acquisition and ownership of Cal Am's local water system when it actually only requires a feasibility study. It also alleges the ballot argument includes a number of inaccurate statements, mostly related to the promise of lower water rates and additional jobs under public ownership, Cal Am's profit incentive, and its failure to deliver a new water supply.
The Monterey Peninsula Water System Local Ownership and Cost Savings Initiative would require the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to "establish and maintain" public ownership of all water delivery system assets and infrastructure within its territory, and to acquire Cal Am's assets if economically feasible. It also requires the district to conduct a feasibility study and acquisition plan within nine months of passage. If a public acquisition were found to be feasible, the district would seek to acquire through negotiation or eminent domain Cal Am's local system, taking over its ownership and operation. There is no current cost estimate for the study and plan, nor any identified funding source.
Heuer said the pro-Measure O argument is "definitely stretching the truth."
"Our concern is the public needs to have accurate information in ballot arguments. The whole purpose of ballot arguments is to give the public information to help them make the right decision. Embellishing the truth defeats the whole purpose."
Cohen said the suit has no legal basis and is "clearly a nuisance lawsuit" designed to "force us to spend limited funds" on litigation rather than on the campaign.
Heuer said he was named in the suit because the anti-Measure O campaign committee needed a local voter as a plaintiff, though he said he is adamantly opposed to the ballot initiative. He noted that he is serving as chairman and treasurer of a new committee — "Water Not Politics" — that includes the Monterey Peninsula Taxpayers Association, the Coalition of Monterey Peninsula Businesses, local Realtors and others in opposition to the public ownership initiative. He did not say whether he would consider also challenging the Yes on Measure O rebuttal statement.
Both sides submitted rebuttal statements and the water management district provided an impartial analysis of the proposed initiative by the Monday deadline, which was also the deadline for filing campaign finance reports with the county, though neither side apparently did so.
Among those signing the rebuttal statement for No on Measure O were Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce president Moe Ammar, Carmel River Steelhead Association's Brian LeNeve, Monterey County Business Council president Mary Ann Leffel, labor leader and former Peninsula water district board member Ron Chesshire, and Peninsula taxpayers association president Ron Pasquinelli.
The rebuttal statement for Yes on Measure O was signed by Carmel Valley Association president Mibs McCarthy, Seaside city councilman, former Peninsula water district board member and retired fire Capt. Alvin Edwards, former county supervisor and past vice president of the state water board Marc Del Piero, Monterey city councilwoman and teacher Nancy Selfridge, and Public Water Now assistant managing director and Citizens for Public Water founder George Riley.
The "Risk We Cannot Afford" committee's filings on contributions submitted this month indicated it has raised more than $765,000 for its war chest to fight the initiative, nearly all of it from Cal Am, which is listed as the committee's sponsor and has provided company officials as the committee's principal officer and treasurer. The only other contributors were the Water Not Politics committee, which contributed $10,000, and the Democratic State Central Committee, which gave $1,028.50 to the campaign.
Public Water Now's most recent filing, submitted in January, listed more than $52,000 in contributions from scores of individual contributors and about $17,280 left in the bank through the end of 2013. Most of its money came from thousands of dollars in contributions and loans from supporters such as Riley, Nader Agha, George Schroeder, Bruce Newell, Doug Wilhelm, Tom MacDonald, Claude Keysers, Harvey Billig, Richard Rotter and Stilwell.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)- Jimmie Johnson has won the Daytona double. After winning the season-opening Daytona 500, Johnson dominated Saturday night's Coke Zero 400 for his fourth victory of the season. He's the first driver since Bobby Allison in 1982 to sweep both Daytona races.
Johnson is the Sprint Cup points leader. He tied Matt Kenseth for most victories on the circuit.
The five-time NASCAR champion was the leader on the restart for a two-lap sprint to the finish in overtime. He held off Kevin Harvick on the restart, and then pulled out front to a sizeable lead.
Tony Stewart was second, followed by Kevin Harvick in a Chevrolet sweep. Clint Bowyer was fourth in a Toyota.

I can hear her heartbeat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open up every time she smiles
And when I come to her that is where I belong
Yep I'm running through, like a rivers song
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Mmm, takes away all of my heartache in the night like a thief
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Mmm, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love (interlude)
Yes I need her in the daytime
Oh, but I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss and hug, kiss and hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She give me some sweet loving, brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, it makes me feel whole
And it makes me mellow down to my soul
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love
I need her love, love, love, love, crazy love
Crazy love, crazy love, crazy love.
Remembering someone right now... a crazy love for sure...

Today I share my favorite insightful quotes by Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, one of the most beautiful actresses from Hollywood with amazing elegance and exceptional grace.
Tuesday, August 6, 2013.
Grace, Princess of Monaco (née Grace Patricia Kelly, 12 November 1929 – 14 September 1982) was an American film actress and wife of Prince Rainier III of Monaco. She was the Princess Consort of Monaco from 1956 until her death in 1982.
"I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds, and who was a kind and loving person. I would like to leave the memory of a human being with a correct attitude and who did her best to help others."
"I've been accused of being cold, snobbish, distant. Those who know me well know that I'm nothing of the sort. If anything, the opposite is true. But is it too much to ask to want to protect your private life, your inner feelings? Lots of things touch me and I don't want to be indiscreet."
"I avoid looking back. I prefer good memories to regrets."
"I am basically a feminist. I think that women can do anything they decide to do."
"Why getting angry? Getting angry doesn't solve anything… I don't like yelling and fighting and I can't quarrel, I prefer to let it drop… When people use disagreeable words, I feel crushed and remember them for a long time."
"Before my marriage, I didn't think about all the obligations that were awaiting me. My experience has proved useful and I think that I have a natural propensity to feel compassion for people and their problems."
"My father had a very simple view of life: you don't get anything for nothing. Everything has to be earned, through work, persistence and honesty. My father also had a deep charm, the gift of winning our trust. He was the kind of man with whom many people dream of spending an evening."
"My parents, despite their serious attitude toward life in general, and that of their children in particular, were very broadminded people. There was no such thing as a bad profession for them. As I was their daughter, they knew that, whatever profession I chose, I would do it well. That was enough for them. There was always trust among the Kellys
.""When I married Prince Rainier, I married the man and not what he represented or what he was. I fell in love with him without giving a thought to anything else."
"It would be very sad if children had no memories before those of school. What they need most is the love and attention of their mother."
"I've always treated my children as beings in their own right. I respect their feelings and aspirations entirely."
"The sometimes inquisitive and unhealthy interest that the media show in us is often the source of childish anxieties that are hard to allay. I do everything I can to protect my children from them."
"Although I've played a wide variety of roles, I've never had the chance to act in a story written specially for me. It's a pity as they are the only stories that really let you reveal your personality."
"I hated Hollywood. It's a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics and so much unhappiness."
"Mr. Hitchcock taught me everything about cinema. It was thanks to him that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes."
"My real difficulty was to become a normal person again, after having been a movie actress for so long. For me, at the time I was living in New York and Hollywood, a normal person was someone who made movies."
"I get up at seven for the make-up, Rita Hayworth at six, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis at five. I don't want to know the time when I'll have to come to the studio even earlier."
"When Ava Gardner get in a taxi, the driver knows at once she's Ava Gardner. It's the same for Lana Turner or Elizabeth Taylor, but not for me. I'm never Grace Kelly, I'm always someone who looks like Grace Kelly."
"If there is one thing that is foreign to me it is shopping for pleasure. On the other hand, I believe that it is right to honor all those who create beautiful things and give satisfaction to those who see me wearing them."

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh calendar makes it possible for students to choose the type and length of course they prefer. The 17-week fall and spring semesters are divided into terms of 14, 7 and 3 weeks. The majority of courses are offered during a 14-week period, but many are held for double hours during the first seven weeks and some for double hours during the second seven. Intensive courses are offered during the last three weeks of the term. This calendar is designed to allow students more choice in selecting their schedules and to encourage the development of the participation in new educational alternatives. Students thereby enrich their total university experience with opportunities to take more courses in a term, if they wish to, and dramatically shorten the time required for graduation. Among the special features designed into the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh calendar are: Choices of courses offered for fourteen-, seven- or three-week periods within each total seventeen-week fall and spring term.NOTE: Changes, if any, will be reflected in separate class timetables for each of the spring, fall and summer semesters. 2001-2003 CALENDAR FALL TERM 2001
The Calendar is subject to change without notice. For current details, refer to the Timetable, which is published each term and available in the Advisement/Registration Office, Dempsey 130, Oshkosh, WI 54901, 920-424-3454. Please Email firstname.lastname@example.com Last Updated July 1, 2001 |

The track samples Otis Redding's classic song "It's Too Late".
The reverb/echo of Lupe's voice here eventually fades into the instrumental, which is comprised of a somber piano line and a weeping orchestral strings. By the song's end, all that's left is the mournful harmonizing of a choir for two full riffs.
Creepy, indeed.
As elaborated on in the songs "The Cool", "Real Recognize Real", and "Superstar", The Cool was rejected from both Heaven AND Hell. … Wow, somebody must have been bad!
The Holy Grail is the legendary chalice that is said to have once contained Jesus Christ's blood that dripped out of his side after his crucifixion. One of his disciples, legend has it, sailed with the cup all the way to England, where it has since been "lost" and searched for endlessly ever since. (I smell "Da Vinci Code"!!)
By ''seek unholy grails'', though, he means to go after things such as money, hookers, drugs… y'know, the cool stuff.
Other songs detailing the misadventures of The Cool and related characters are "The Cool", "Hello/Goodbye (Uncool)", "The Die", "Superstar", "Put You On Game", "He Say, She Say", "Real Recognize Real", and "Streets On Fire".
The Streets wears a locket necklace and gives the key to Michael (literally "the key to the streets"). Metaphorically, the key also "unlocks" other items such as fancy cars and drugs to sell and profit from. In addition, a "key", or "ki", is slang for two pounds (a kilo) of cocaine ("raw").
Here's what is arguably the saddest part of the whole story: Michael Young History abandons his baby momma and his daughter, just like his own dad did him. It's just an endless cycle…
The line in the second verse should read "Quote, to a cryin' dishonored baby momma whose the momma to the daughter that I had fathered from afar."
The line in Lupe's second verse "one times my sunshine will never hurt your soul"…
Should actually read "one time missing sunshine will never hurt your soul."
He was alluding to two songs of his own off his previous album, Food and Liquor. The songs' titles were "Sunshine" and "Hurt Me Soul"; both are fan favorites and are considered classics by critics.
It is here that we learn that Michael Young History actually already was in love BEFORE his affair with The Streets, and has since snubbed this woman's love for a life with The Streets and The Game.
Notice the negative implications of "Game got my soul". It's as if Michael Young History sold his soul to the Devil. Sounds pretty bad, if you ask me…

Brief Glasto music review: Captain Beefheart's Magic Band are ace, despite the absence of the good Captain; Snow Patrol suck donkey's cock; Keane are annoyingly good; and the Aphex Twin is a lazy arse for not bothering to turn up.
Politically, the main thing that was interesting (if, perhaps, unsurprising) about Glastonbury was the amount of knee-jerk anti-globo propaganda going on. Not just in the sense of anti-GWB (this is merely sanity), but a very traditional late-1990s way. So no mention of Kick-AAS (I guess Michael Eavis is a farmer…), lots of mentions of the Great Evils of third-world privatisation, and none of the Far Worse Evils of third-world corruption and fucking incompetence.
Which is fine, and infinitely better than any right-wing slanted festival could possibly be. It's just a bit of a shame to see something with its heart so clearly in the right place campaigning for the wrong things.
2 thoughts on "Back"
Is it good or bad to suck donkey's cock?
Should I have to ask? ;o)
From what I've heard, I think they're the dog's bollocks, the hound's testicles, I think they kick ass, but I wouldn't like to say whether they sucks donkey's cock…
I'm being a fool, it is clearly terrible to suck donkey's cock. Sorry you didn't like them. I thought they rocked on the telly.
My perspective on the anti-globo thing is, yes but… Yes but the great evils of third-world privitisation (and debt, and the way this is forced on the third world by undemocratic global institutions which ultimately serve the free-market adjenda, etc etc…) are OUR FAULT, and we can do something about them.
Third world countries get screwed internally and externally. IYKWIM. Maybe you think the internal screwing is worse, and I don't disagree. It's a matter of what we can do.
We can help stop the internal screwing, the corruption, by encouraging countries to stop being corrupt. But we can help a great deal by not screwing them over ourselves as well. So I don't think the 'anti-globos' are campaigning for the wrong things. They are campaigning to change the things we can change, rather than to change the things we can't do a great deal about.
I can't see a movement going far based around slogans such as "It's all the fault of poor countries, nothing to do with us!" "Stop being so corrupt, and then maybe we'll stop screwing you!"

Personal identification number
A personal identification number (PIN, pronounced "pin"; often redundantly PIN number) is a numeric password shared between a user and a system, that can be used to authenticate the user to the system. Typically, the user is required to provide a non-confidential user identifier or token (the user ID) and a confidential PIN to gain access to the system. Upon receiving the user ID and PIN, the system looks up the PIN based upon the user ID and compares the looked-up PIN with the received PIN. The user is granted access only when the number entered matches with the number stored in the system. Hence, despite the name, a PIN does not personally identify the user.[1]
PINs are used with banking systems (where the identifying token is a card), but are also used in other, non-financial systems.
The PIN is not printed or embedded on the card but is manually entered by the cardholder during automated teller machine (ATM) and point of sale (POS) transactions (such as those that comply with EMV), and in card not present transactions, such as over the Internet or for phone banking.
PINs may also be used in contexts other than ATM or POS transactions, such as door access, Internet transactions, or to log in to a restricted website. In such cases, the PIN may simply be a password, and not necessarily associated with a specific card.
In banking systems, PIN management and security are governed by international standard ISO 9564.
The PIN originated with the introduction of the ATM in 1967, as an efficient way for banks to dispense cash to their customers. The first ATM system was that of Barclays in London, in 1967; it accepted cheques with machine-readable encoding, rather than cards, and matched the PIN to the cheque.[2][3][4] In 1972, Lloyds Bank issued the first bank card to feature an information-encoding magnetic strip, using a PIN for security.[5]
In 2006, James Goodfellow, the inventor who patented the first personal identification number, was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.[6]
PIN length[edit]
The inventor of the ATM, John Shepherd-Barron, at first envisioned a six-digit numeric code for customer authentication. His wife however could only remember four digits, which became the most commonly used length.[3]
ISO 9564-1, the international standard for PIN management and security in retail banking, allows for PINs from four up to twelve digits, but also notes that "For usability reasons, an assigned numeric PIN should not exceed six digits in length."[7] Financial PINs are often four-digit numbers, with Switzerland being a notable exception with six-digit PINs being given by default. Most ATM and POS software does not support PINs longer than six digits, and many input devices can only accept four digit PINs.[citation needed]
PIN validation[edit]
There are several main methods of validating PINs. The operations discussed below are usually performed within a hardware security module (HSM).
IBM 3624 method[edit]
One of the earliest ATM models was the IBM 3624, which used the IBM method to generate what is termed a natural PIN. The natural PIN is generated by encrypting the primary account number (PAN), using an encryption key generated specifically for the purpose.[8] This key is sometimes referred to as the PIN generation key (PGK). This PIN is directly related to the primary account number. To validate the PIN, the issuing bank regenerates the PIN using the above method, and compares this with the entered PIN.
Natural PINs can not be user selectable because they are derived from the PAN. If the card is reissued with a new PAN, a new PIN must be generated.
Natural PINs allow banks to issue PIN reminder letters as the PIN can be generated.
IBM 3624 + offset method[edit]
To allow user selectable PINs it is possible to store a PIN offset value. The offset is found by subtracting natural PIN from the customer selected PIN using modulo 10.[9] For example, if the natural PIN is 1234, and the user wishes to have a PIN of 2345, the offset is 1111.
The offset can be stored either on the card track data,[10] or in a database at the card issuer.
To validate the PIN, the issuing bank calculates the natural PIN as in the above method, then adds the offset and compares this value to the entered PIN.
VISA method[edit]
The VISA method is used by many card schemes and is not VISA-specific. The VISA method generates a PIN verification value (PVV). Similar to the offset value, it can be stored on the card's track data, or in a database at the card issuer. This is called the reference PVV.
The VISA method takes the rightmost eleven digits of the PAN excluding the checksum value, a PIN validation key index (PVKI, chosen from one to six) and the required PIN value to make a 64 bit number, the PVKI selects a validation key (PVK, of 128 bits) to encrypt this number. From this encrypted value, the PVV is found.[11]
To validate the PIN, the issuing bank calculates a PVV value from the entered PIN and PAN and compares this value to the reference PVV. If the reference PVV and the calculated PVV match, the correct PIN was entered.
Unlike the IBM method, the VISA method doesn't derive a PIN. The PVV value is used to confirm the PIN entered at the terminal, was also used to generate the reference PVV. The PIN used to generate a PVV can be randomly generated or user selected or even derived using the IBM method.
PIN security[edit]
Financial PINs are often four-digit numbers in the range 0000-9999, resulting in 10,000 possible numbers. Switzerland issues six-digit PINs by default.
Some systems set up default PINs and most allow the customer to set up a PIN or to change the default one, and on some a change of PIN on first access is mandatory. Customers are usually advised not to set up a PIN based on their or their spouse's birthdays, on driver license numbers, consecutive or repetitive numbers, or some other schemes. Some financial institutions do not give out or permit PINs where all digits are identical (such as 1111, 2222, ...), consecutive (1234, 2345, …), numbers that start with one or more zeroes, or the last four digits of the cardholder's social security number or birth date.[citation needed]
Many PIN verification systems allow three attempts, thereby giving a card thief a putative 0.03% probability of guessing the correct PIN before the card is blocked. This holds only if all PINs are equally likely and the attacker has no further information available, which has not been the case with some of the many PIN generation and verification algorithms that financial institutions and ATM manufacturers have used in the past.[12]
Research has been done on commonly used PINs.[13] The result is that without forethought, a sizable portion of users may find their PIN vulnerable. "Armed with only four possibilities, hackers can crack 20% of all PINs. Allow them no more than fifteen numbers, and they can tap the accounts of more than a quarter of card-holders."[14]
Breakable PINs can worsen with length, to wit:
The problem with guessable PINs surprisingly worsens when customers are forced to use additional digits, moving from about a 25% probability with fifteen numbers to more than 30% (not counting 7-digits with all those phone numbers). In fact, about half of all 9-digit PINs can be reduced to two dozen possibilities, largely because more than 35% of all people use the all too tempting 123456789. As for the remaining 64%, there's a good chance they're using their Social Security Number, which makes them vulnerable. (Social Security Numbers contain their own well-known patterns.)[14]
Implementation flaws[edit]
In 2002 two PhD students at Cambridge University, Piotr Zieliński and Mike Bond, discovered a security flaw in the PIN generation system of the IBM 3624, which was duplicated in most later hardware. Known as the decimalization table attack, the flaw would allow someone who has access to a bank's computer system to determine the PIN for an ATM card in an average of 15 guesses.[15][16]
Reverse PIN hoax[edit]
Rumours have been in e-mail circulation claiming that in the event of entering a PIN into an ATM backwards, police will be instantly alerted as well as money being ordinarily issued as if the PIN had been entered correctly.[17] The intention of this scheme would be to protect victims of muggings; however, despite the system being proposed for use in some US states,[18][19] there are no ATMs currently[when?] in existence that employ this software.[citation needed]
Mobile phone passcodes[edit]
A mobile phone may be PIN protected. If enabled, the PIN (also called a passcode) for GSM mobile phones can be between four and eight digits[20] and is recorded in the SIM card. If such a PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the SIM card is blocked until a personal unblocking code (PUC or PUK), provided by the service operator, is entered. If the PUC is entered incorrectly ten times, the SIM card is permanently blocked, requiring a new SIM card from the mobile carrier service.[citation needed]

text: [[DoubleStandard Everyone knows women don't know anything about cars]]. Or at least, that's what these guys seem to think. Because if a woman shows up at their dealership trying to buy a car, then they become much more likely to try to mark up the price or sell her that old AllegedCar. Something of an UndeadHorseTrope, since nearly all examples are either parodies or subversions. In media, it's common for the woman to actually do enough research to know more about the car she wants than the salesman himself. Of course, he probably just thinks that it's adorable that the "Little Lady" thinks she knows anything. Until she sets him straight anyway.This can just as easily happen (and may be more common) when women take their cars to the mechanic, who begins to make up imaginary problems and generally overcharge her just because she's a woman. It's often TruthInTelevision; many car salesman and mechanics will try to scam women (more often than men) who even hint at not knowing enough about cars. A subtrope of HonestJohnsDealership. See also WomenDrivers, which is part of the cause of this trope.!! Examples[[AC:{{Film}}]]* Pat Buttrum plays one of these in ''AngelsRevenge''.* {{Averted}} in ''Film/{{Psycho}}'': Marion Crane is ''desperate'' to sell her car and get another (in order to change her conspicuous license plate, given the theft she committed has already been reported), and has to practically beg the dealership man to get one, without even bothering to discuss the price.[[AC:{{Literature}}]]* This tendency of car salesmen was addressed in ''{{Blink}}'' by MalcolmGladwell. In the 1990's, Chicago professor Ian Ayers did an experiment where he send a number of people of differing sex and ethnicity, but the same age, dress, behavior etc, to try and buy a car and negotiate the best deal they could out of the dealer. White Men got the best offer, followed by white women, then black women and finally black men, who typically ended up being offered a price hundreds of dollars higher than white men even after lengthy negotiation. Bob Golomb, on the other hand, was a highly successful salesman because he didn't make assumptions and treated everyone equally. One example he gave was of a farmer who was a regular customer. "Now if you saw this man, with his coveralls and his cow-dung, you'd figure he was not a worthy customer. But in fact, as we say in the trade, he's all cashed up."* ''[[Literature/{{Matilda}} Matilda]]'' by Roald Dahl has Matilda's father as this, although he's HonestJohnsDealership in general and treats ''every'' customer like a sucker.[[AC:LiveActionTV]]* On an episode of ''FamilyMatters'', when Laura tries to buy a used car, the salesman insists on trying to sell her another one because it's "a pretty color." When she goes back later [[SweetPollyOliver dressed as a man]], she's able to convince him to sell her the car she wants at a discount...until he sees through the disguise, at which point she ''still'' gets a discount [[WoundedGazelleGambit by crying instead]].* [[TheFastShow Swiss Toni]], who compares ''everything'' to making love to a beautiful woman. Even if it doesn't make sense.* One episode of ThirdRockFromTheSun had the family take their car to a mechanic for maintenance. The mechanic completely ignores Sally in faovour of talking to {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Harry, going on about how women know nothing about cars. Then Sally uses a wrench to squeeze the man's balls.[[AC:{{Music}}]]* There's an example in LesBidochons, though it concerns houses rather than cars. When the salesman is through explaining the merits of the house, Raymonde wants to ask something, to which the salesman gives a condescending smile and goes "Certainly, ma'am. Would you like to know about the furinture colors, or the drapes, or the...". Then Raymonde floors him with a technical question about things like what materials are used for the walls.[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]* Popped up in ''[[Webcomic/TwentyFirstCenturyFox 21st Century Fox]]'', when Jenny goes shopping for a new FlyingCar. Being a rocket scientist and astronaut, she's looking for something sleek and fast, but the car salesman keeps trying to sell her on family-cars (and cars with wide backseats) for various sexist reasons. Also qualifies as TooDumbToLive, since he's a rabbit and she's a fox. Only the timely intervention of the rabbit's more level-headed wife prevents Jenny from making lunch of him...[[AC:WesternAnimation]]* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' this happens when [[AsianAirhead Amy]] goes to buy a car (her super-rich parents are paying, so it's all played for laughs). It's also inverted, when a salesman tries to sell Fry a car by questioning his masculinity. A deleted scene also contains DoubleSubversion where the salesman points out the "special mirrors", Leela tells him to stop patronising them...and then proceeds to ask "what makes these mirrors so special?".* Inverted in ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', where the car dealer had been tricking Hank since his teenage years into thinking "sticker price" was the norm, but was willing to accept a much lower price from Peggy.----

Home solar means near net zero energy use
Thanks to the fact that we bought our 5.59 kW solar system before we bought an electric car, which, in fact, we still haven't been able to buy, we've produced 10,000 more kWh of solar electricity than we've used during the 27 months our 26 REC panels have been up on our Aurora, Colo. rooftop.
Of course, the fact that we've overproduced so much solar electricity – enough to run another entire average American house for a full year – isn't solely attributable to the fact that we don't have an electric car.
We're also very energy conscious. Our household of four – last year, for seven months we were a household of five when we hosted a German exchange student – uses less than 5,000 kWh per year. In fact, in May of 2011 we even managed to use fewer than 200 kWh in one month.
Given that we're producing so much more electricity than we're using – 200 percent more electricity to be exact! -- I've started to wonder whether we might have a net zero house gig going here.
The "net zero thing"
On a basic level, a net zero home is one that produces as much energy, on site, as it uses across the period of a full year, though, as you'll see in the video clip above, the whole "net-zero thing" is actually more nuanced, complicated, and, frankly, even potentially confusing than that.
I know our house – which is a 1978 box with a true "welcome-to-my-garage" look (luckily, the giant garage roof faces directly south ;-) – doesn't qualify as a traditional net zero home on a completely "pure" basis. For example, it certainly wasn't built via energy-conserving construction methods. But it seems to me that if we don't qualify as a "pure" net zero home, we're coming close to being net zero.
Our main stumbling blocks right now are our gas furnace and gas hot water heater. But, as you can see by the screen shot at the end of this story of our utility bills over the past two years, most of our monthly utility bills for electricity and gas are $25 total (with more than one-third of this taxes and fees!). That means we're not burning very much natural gas.
We're going to be burning even less natural gas this winter. That's because I will be using six eheat.com efficient electric wall heaters – they're 400 to 475 watts each -- to cover as close to 100 percent of our home heating as possible. This will help us eat up some of those 10,000 extra solar kWh – I'm guessing about 2,500 kWh or so, though, of course, we'll easily add these back again between April and August of 2013.
Natural gas water heater a problem
That still leaves our natural gas water heater. However I'm guessing that if I was ambitious enough (I'm not) to go through all of our utility bills for the past two years and add up the therms worth of natural gas we've burned and also "guestimate" how many of those therms went to our hot water heater as opposed to our forced hot air furnace, we might be net zero over the past two years, or, at the very least, very close.
After this winter, which will hopefully see our furnace burn very few, possibly even zero, therms worth of natural gas thanks to our unique "solar PV-powered" home heating set-up, it should be easier to figure out how many therms our hot water heater has used, do a therms to kWh conversion, and establish with a bit more accuracy whether we are a "true" net zero house or not.
If we're not already a net zero home, there's no doubt we're damn close, certainly a hell of a lot closer than 99.9% of American households, and, as I note in the video clip above, we're all very proud of that :-)

By George Moore, Glenn Close (Foreword by)
George Moore was born in Ireland in 1852. At the age of eighteen, following the death of his father, he ran off to Paris to study painting. Immersed in Parisian cafE society, he mingled with many great artists of the time, but ultimately shifted his ambitions toward writing, struggling to become a poet and playwright. Only after leaving Paris for London did Moore establish himself as a published writer, and in 1894, he found both critical praise and commercial success with his masterwork, the realist novel "Esther Waters." He wrote about ten novels in addition to numerous essays and short stories before his death in 1933.

Can't wait to see these custom Tai Chi outfits...
One more time!
Trip Start
Apr 17, 2010
Trip End
Jul 02, 2010
Mr. O's lesson was a repeat of the second half of his Festivals and Celebrations topic. These groups had not learned the Chicken Dance yet, so it was imperative that they learn this important American tradition! They had a great time, and he managed to get a good video to prove it. He had them come up with a new Chinese celebration. They came up with Student Day, with imaginative ways to celebrate: No school, except for teachers; All types of Chinese foods and some junk food; Teachers would give no homework; Teachers would give each student 1,000,000 yuan (about $150,000 USDollars)!
The students in Ms. Long's class came in very sleepy this morning. With a few stretches and jumping jacks, students were energized and ready to begin. Today's lesson was titled, "The Necklace". Students were given three pictures to look at. They had to list as many details as they could. The pictures included a boy, a girl, a Chinese man, a map, a chest, and a dragon. Next, Ms. Long told them to put on their creative hats and add details to their list using their imaginations. She gave them one rule: Every group had to include details about a necklace. The necklace could be lost, have special powers, etc. She modeled for the students by showing them the dialogue she had written about her and her brother, Kevin, and how she had added imaginative details. The groups then put together a dialogue and assigned parts to group members. Several groups then acted out their dialogues. The students were very creative in adding a necklace into their dialogues and enjoyed performing at the end of class.
The afternoon was spent doing the usual. We then went to dinner and planned to do Tai Chi and Cha Cha afterwards. Unfortunately, there was light rain, so we just took a lap around the track with Wilma and Principal Jiang. After a quick stroll, Cherry found us and asked us to speak to her class. The students were very surprised and happy to meet us! We answered many questions and then left to meet Frank. Frank had received an email from the Junior school with our schedules for the next three weeks. So, we are ready to prepare for our upcoming lessons. On the way back to the hotel, Frank took us to a tailor shop to be fitted for a Tai Chi suit! They want to give us a special gift. We are anxious to see what they will look like. We should receive them in a week, so stay tuned. Tomorrow, we do not have classes, so we do not know what the day will hold for us. We will soon find out!

« Alan Wilder's Recoil released a new album, touring the USA | Holly Miranda's Baeble session from Littlefield is online now »
photos by Tear-n Tan & Natalia Moena
Lee Fields / Darren Mabee
Lee Fields was probably the first act to ever perform at a Jelly Pool Party that promised the crowd his autograph after the show if they bought a CD, and that's part of the reason to love him. He's an old school genuine performer, now living in a land of modern day hipsters, at least that was the case on Sunday where he shared a bill with Future Islands, the Strange Boys and !!!.
Lee's soulful set included may of the great songs off his new album, "My World", including the title track, "Money is King", and "Ladies". The latter was one of many songs where Lee asked for crowd participation, and the rained-on crowd usually obliged. Many, including Darren Mabee, showed off their dance moves. Most at least swayed their arms back and forth in the air. For Lee, and some of his large backing band, it was their second big Brooklyn appearance in a short amount of time. The first was at Sharon Jones's headlining gig in Prospect Park.
Future Islands and the Strange Boys opened the free show for those that got there early enough. !!! headlined for those that stuck around around. More pictures from the whole day, below...

Sex Trafficking of Americans: The Girls Next Door Politics: vanityfair.com I read this article from Vanity Fair about sex trafficking in the United States (so called "white slavery") earlier today, and it made me realize truly how sick people are in this world. As humans, we are only a few million years removed from our primate ancestors. At times, I like to think that we have made incredible advancements in the world in terms of technology, science, ethics, and morality. However, when I read articles like this one, I think that we are closer to still being a sick little bunch of monkeys than anyone really cares to admit.
One of the things I also think about when I read articles like this is about the idea of a god/gods and eternal punishment. Personally, I don't think the evidence supports the idea that god/gods exist. However, if a god does exist, I can only hope that this god will punish the men who caused so much trauma to these girl in the article thoroughly. The men who abuse others like this need to be punished in hell for a long, long time.
This article further serves as a reinforcement of how depraved men who visit prostitutes actually are. I have never visited a prostitute (nor would I -- I don't need to pay for sex in life), but I used to think that the guys who did that were maybe just lonely and the girls with whom they were having sex were making good money. However, after reading the article, I realize that so called "Johns" who visit prostitutes are a bunch of sick and sexually deviant bastards, especially after the article said that as many as 80% of the girls who are prostitutes are there against their will. How on earth can one human do those types of things to another human being? Do these men have no self control in life?
Check out the Vanity Fair article and leave a comment about your thoughts on human sex trafficking.
