Following consultation with its trade unions, UCL is introducing PensionsExchange to employees in USS or SAUL pension schemes in May 2010. PensionsExchange operates by allowing savings in National Insurance Contributions (NIC) through changing the way that pension contributions are paid. Other universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, the LSE and Imperial College have already successfully implemented such a scheme. This Employee Guide covers the benefits to you, how the scheme works and aims to answer any questions you may have.
Please note that all amounts shown in this booklet are calculated in respect of the 2010/11 tax year and are subject to future changes in line with legislation, which is typically reviewed on an annual basis with effect from 6 April each year.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have set out below answers to some questions that you may have in relation to the introduction of PensionsExchange and how the arrangement will affect you.
1. Why is UCL introducing PensionsExchange?
The USS and SAUL rules have changed to allow additional pension contributions to be made by the employer under a PensionsExchange scheme. Employee pension contributions will be reduced to nil and as a result, the employee's take home pay in most cases will increase. The amount saved depends on the employee's earnings level. The table below provides an indication of the annual NIC savings available to the employee:
Annual Salary (£) |
Annual Employee NIC saving (£)* |
Annual Salary (£) |
Annual Employee NIC saving (£)* |
15,000 |
84.60 |
35,000 |
208.91 |
20,000 |
112.80 |
40,000 |
238.76 |
25,000 |
141.00 |
45,000 |
201.82 |
30,000 |
169.20 |
50,000 |
31.75 |
35,000 |
197.40 |
55,000 |
34.92 |
* These savings are based on tax and NIC rates for 2010/11. Individual examples have
been provided further in this guide.
As you will see from the table above, NIC savings are proportionately lower for higher earners. This is because the rate at which NIC is paid (and therefore saved under PensionsExchange) reduces to 1% for earnings over the NIC Upper Earnings Limit (£43,875 per annum for 2010/11). It is expected that from 2011/2012 this rate will change to 2%, increasing the level of savings for higher earners using PensionsExchange.
Through implementing PensionsExchange UCL will also benefit from paying lower employers' National Insurance Contributions. These savings will be used to enhance the working environment for staff and to meet the rising cost of pension provision which increases each year in line with UCL's salary bill.
2. How does PensionsExchange work?
Step 1: From 1 May 2010, you will stop making standard pension contributions from your Basic Pay to the USS or SAUL pension schemes.
Step 2: Instead UCL will make contributions to the USS or SAUL equal to the contribution rate previously made by you, along with its current employer contribution.
Step 3: As UCL is increasing its pension contribution, you agree to reduce your Basic Pay by the rate that you previously paid into the USS or SAUL. Your unreduced salary will become known as your 'Reference salary'.
Step 4: As a result of you paying lower National Insurance Contributions (NIC), your net take home pay will increase This is because the employee pension contributions that you previously paid were subject to NIC whereas the employer contribution paid by UCL is not.
Step 5: The level of benefits from your USS or SAUL pension will not be affected. The salary used in pension calculations remains unchanged as it continues to be based on your 'Reference salary'. Cost of living Pay increases, overtime payments etc will not be affected as they are also calculated based on 'Reference salary'.
Step 6: Your full Pensionable Salary will remain unchanged and you will be able to quote this for all external purposes, for example when quoting your salary for mortgage applications
Step 7: Additional Voluntary Contributions ('AVCs') are not currently included in PensionsExchange
3. How will my salary be affected if I participate in PensionsExchange?
From 1 May 2010 PensionsExchange will operate on the basis that all normal contributions are paid by UCL.
Therefore, with effect from 1 May 2010 you will no longer pay employee pension contributions directly from your salary. Instead, your salary will be reduced by the amount of pension contributions that you pay into USS or SAUL. UCL will make an equivalent additional employer contribution to USS or SAUL.
We will use the term 'Reference Salary' to mean your basic salary before taking account of any PensionsExchange Adjustment and the term Adjusted Salary to refer to your basic salary after the PensionsExchange Adjustment.
The following tables illustrate savings achievable to employees using PensionsExchange:

4. How do I participate in PensionsExchange?
In order to participate in PensionsExchange, UCL will need to make amendments to your current Terms and Conditions of employment (details of these changes are contained at Appendix 1 to this document). It is important that you understand the changes to your basic pay and payment of pension contributions, as you will automatically be included in PensionsExchange. All other terms and conditions of employment remain unaffected.
If you may not benefit from participation as intended you will be contacted separately see question 6 for more details.
5. Will my Pensionable Salary remain the same?
Your Pensionable Salary will continue to be calculated as at present, i.e. based on your higher 'Reference Salary' prior to the PensionsExchange Adjustment.
6. Who will participate in PensionsExchange?
If you are currently a member of either USS or SAUL, you will be able to participate in PensionsExchange. You will not be able to participate in PensionsExchange however if it would bring your Adjusted Salary to below the National Minimum Wage. The National Minimum Wage is currently £5.80 per hour for somebody over the age of 21. We will monitor pay levels and advise you if you are likely to be affected, however if your circumstances change and you think you might fall into this category you should contact Pension Services.
7. If I agree to participate in PensionsExchange will it affect any other payments?
All future pay rises will continue to be based on your higher 'Reference Salary'. All of your salary related pay and benefits from UCL e.g. overtime will also be calculated on your higher 'Reference Salary'. However Statutory Maternity Pay may be affected (see question [16]).
8. Will participation in PensionsExchange affect my overtime?
Any overtime you may receive will not be affected by your participation in PensionsExchange, the hourly rate for overtime will be calculated on your higher 'Reference Salary' and will therefore remain the same hourly rate as before.
9. Will I still get the same pension at retirement?
Yes. Your pension at retirement is based on your service in USS or SAUL and your Pensionable Salary. Your Pensionable Salary will be based on your higher 'Reference Salary'. Therefore your pension benefits will remain unchanged.
10. What about Death in Service and Spouse's Pension?
These benefits are unchanged and will continue to be based on your Pensionable Salary which is not affected by PensionsExchange. You will be treated as if you had paid contributions to the scheme in full from your salary instead of UCL making additional pension contributions.
11. How will PensionsExchange be shown on my payslip?
Your payslip will look slightly different. There will be a Pay Element to show that you are participating in PensionsExchange.
12. Will PensionsExchange affect the amount of tax relief I receive?
No, the amount of tax relief received will not be affected.
However if your income is in excess of £130,000 the tax relief you receive either under PensionsExchange or in relation to your current method of making pension contributions, may be reduced. This is due to new legislation that has been introduced which applies from April 2011. Participation in PensionsExchange will not alter the impact of these changes, and conversely will not increase the impact of these changes either.
If your income is above £130,000, as your tax relief may be reduced regardless of your participation in PensionsExchange we recommend you take independent financial advice.
13. Are there any circumstances where it may not be advantageous to participate?
It will not be advantageous for you to participate if any of the following apply to you:
If UCL thinks either of the first two categories apply to you, we will contact you separately. However, if you believe that you may fall into one of the above categories, please contact Pension Services.
14. I am over the State Pension Age and therefore do not pay NIC. Can I participate in PensionsExchange?
If you are over the State Pension Age (currently age 60 for women and 65 for men) you will not pay NIC on your earnings and as a result you will not benefit from any NIC savings through participating in PensionsExchange. On the basis that you will not be disadvantaged by participating in PensionExchange and by doing so you will help generate savings for UCL, you will automatically be included in PensionsExchange unless you choose to opt out. Reaching state pension age is a "Lifestyle Event" so you have the option to opt-out when you reach state pension age.
15. I pay NIC at the reduced married women's NIC rate. Will I benefit from NIC savings?
If you pay NIC at the reduced rate for married women and widows (applicable to those employees who made this election prior to 12 May 1977), you pay NIC at a reduced rate of 4.85% (rather than 9.4% or 11%) on earnings between £110 to £844 per week for 2009/10 (£5,715 to £43,875 per annum) and 1% on earnings above £844 per week (£43,875 per annum).
You will still make NIC savings from participating in PensionsExchange but your savings will be based on these rates rather than the amounts referred to elsewhere in this document. If you would like to discuss the potential level of NIC savings available to you in further detail, please contact Pension Services.
16. Will PensionsExchange affect Maternity Pay?
UCL provides occupational maternity pay over and above Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) for a maximum period of 27 weeks, for eligible employees. Any occupational maternity pay you are eligible to receive will be calculated based on your 'Reference Salary', therefore you will be no worse off. Unless you apply to opt out of PensionsExchange under a lifestyle event (see paragraph 26), you will continue to sacrifice an amount equivalent to 6% (for SAUL) or 6.35% (for USS) of your maternity pay, during any period you are in receipt of occupational maternity pay. Your Adjusted Salary will not be taken below the level of SMP and UCL will make any additional pension contributions to ensure your full contributions are not affected. Exceptionally, where an employee leaves UCL but is entitled to SMP or where 90% of average weekly earnings are lower than SMP amounts an employee may be slightly impacted by participating in PensionsExchange. If this situation applies to you, you can opt out of PensionsExchange. Please contact Pension Services for further information.
The above considerations apply to adoption pay.
17. How will participation in PensionsExchange be shown on my personal payroll and tax documents?
You will see the reduction on your monthly payslip represented as "USS/SAUL - PensionsExchange". Your P60 will reflect your taxable salary i.e. your gross pay minus the PensionsExchange Adjustment (currently it shows gross pay minus normal pension contributions). You must bear this in mind when using your P60 for a financial reference. Financial institutions usually recognise arrangements such as PensionsExchange and understand how this affects salary reporting. UCL will be happy to provide you with a mortgage reference letter to accompany any such request and will advise lenders of the amount of your 'Reference Salary'.
18. What happens to my pension if I leave SAUL, USS or UCL?
If you leave UCL and/or USS or SAUL with two or more years' qualifying service, there will be no change to benefit options of deferred pension or a transfer value to another registered pension arrangement.
If you leave with less than two years' qualifying service you have similar options (a deferred pension or a transfer value) as above. Pension scheme rules normally permit a refund of contributions as an option where the member leaves with less than two years qualifying service, but this will not be possible under PensionsExchange as the amounts exchanged are not member contributions.
If you withdraw from the USS or SAUL within three months of being automatically enrolled into pension scheme membership, membership of PensionsExchange will terminate immediately and your contractual salary will revert to its pre-PensionsExchange value. UCL will ensure that no employee is disadvantaged in these circumstances.
19. What about a refund of member contributions if I have split service (part PensionsExchange\part contributory)?
Upon ceasing employment with less than two years qualifying service you can choose to receive a refund of member contributions (less the statutory deductions), but you must bear in mind that you will not receive a refund of any pension contributions for any period during which you have participated in PensionsExchange (because the pension contributions that have been paid for you by your employer under PensionsExchange are not member contributions).
A member leaving SAUL or USS with "split service" should think very carefully before choosing a refund of member contributions, as the value of the return of the member contributions less statutory deductions may be much less than the overall value of the period of pensionable service as a deferred pension and lump sum, or as a transfer value (particularly if there is a likelihood of returning to pensionable employment with UCL or with another pension arrangement).
20. What happens if I work for UCL in another country
Further information for staff working in a UCL overseas campus is available by visiting the UCL Pension Services website.
21. Does PensionsExchange impact on my Tax Credits?
No, participation in PensionsExchange will not impact on any HM Revenue & Customs Tax Credits. Other Salary Sacrifice arrangements such as childcare vouchers should be considered separately
22. What about State pension benefits?
PensionsExchange has no negative impact on your State pension.
23. Will PensionsExchange have any impact on my payments to the Child Support Agency (CSA) / Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission?
Child maintenance payments to the CSA / Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission are calculated with reference to your net income i.e. your pay after the deduction of pension contributions, tax and NIC. Under PensionsExchange your net income increases because you are paying less NIC and your child maintenance payments may therefore increase as a result.
If you decide to participate in PensionsExchange you should notify the CSA of the change in your net income. Contact details for the CSA and further details can be obtained from the CSA's website at http://www.csa.gov.uk
24. Will my student loan repayments be affected?
If you are repaying a student loan taken out with the Student Loans Company, your student loan repayments may be reduced slightly as a result of participating in PensionsExchange. This is because your repayments are calculated based on your adjusted salary.
25. Do I have to do anything to participate, e.g. sign any forms?
No. You do not need to take any further action as you will be included automatically in PensionsExchange. We will determine that you have accepted the changes to your Terms and Conditions unless you choose to opt out (see question 25). See question 13 for details of employees that will not be automatically included in the scheme.
26. What if I do not want to participate in PensionsExchange?
You can request an opt-out form from Pension Services which should be completed and returned by the date stated on the opt out form should you choose not to participate.
If you choose to opt out of PensionsExchange you will still be able to participate in USS or SAUL but will not be able to take advantage of the NIC savings resulting in an increase in take home pay which is achievable through participating in PensionsExchange.
27. What if I change my mind or my circumstances change?
If you decide not to participate in PensionsExchange you will need to opt-out by 30 April 2011 and thereafter any subsequent 30 April. All opt outs received will be effective from 1 May. This is, unless you experience a "lifestyle event": These include the following:
In these circumstances you may, subject to the agreement of UCL, opt-out of or into PensionsExchange.
28. How long will the new arrangements last?
It is planned that PensionsExchange will operate indefinitely. However, UCL reserves the right to withdraw PensionsExchange if, for example, tax, National Insurance or pensions law or practice changes, or it is no longer viable for UCL to operate PensionsExchange. You will not have to pay back any of the savings you have made if PensionsExchange is withdrawn in the future.
29. Who can I ask if I have any additional questions?
More information on PensionsExchange is available on the UCL Pension Services website. Please visit http://www.ucl.ac.uk/hr/pensions

The individual electrode impedance parameters and internal resistance of a sealed LiC/Li1-xCoO2 lithium-ion rechargeable battery were estimated by a galvanostatic nondestructive technique. Various resistive components of the battery were found to be minimum between state-of-charge values 0.5-0.9. It is expected that the operation of the battery within about 50% of its depth-of-discharge would prolong the charge/discharge cycle life of the battery.

President Obama's anticipated reform of the National Security Agency's practices needs to go beyond ending the mass surveillance of innocent Americans' phone calls. He should force the agency to think less about the quantity of information it gathers and more about the quality.
Obama should ignore the choir of apologists singing in lamentation over the beastly way the NSA is being treated. I refer to voices such as that of Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who on Monday accused Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. - and, by extension, all the agency's critics - of "trying to create this paranoia among Americans that the NSA is spying on everyone."
In fact, the NSA is spying on everyone by keeping a detailed log of our private phone calls. This practice was sanctioned by secret court rulings that stretched the words of the Constitution and the Patriot Act beyond recognition. We couldn't challenge these rulings because we weren't allowed to know about them. When asked last March whether any such blanket domestic surveillance was taking place, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied to Congress and said no. In what universe is it "paranoia" to be angry about all of this?
King and the rest of the NSA chorus blame whistleblower Edward Snowden for getting the agency in trouble over the phone surveillance and other rogue practices, such as eavesdropping on the cellphone conversations of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and secretly tapping into the data streams of major Internet providers. But Snowden just revealed these abuses. It was the NSA that committed them - and brought this world of hurt on itself.
The Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies - one of two blue-ribbon panels Obama appointed to examine the NSA mess - recommended that the agency stop compiling its comprehensive log of domestic phone calls.
Obama should go further and ask why the agency needs to assemble all that information in the first place. I don't think there's a good answer.
The review group found that the phone call data "was not essential to preventing attacks." One member of the panel, former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell, subsequently said that he thought the phone-data program "would likely have prevented" the 9/11 attacks, but he did not offer evidence to back up this assertion.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled last month that the collection of phone data was likely unconstitutional. Two weeks later, however, U.S. District Judge William Pauley ruled in a separate case that the program was legal. Pauley went so far as to detail how he believed the phone data could have allowed authorities to prevent 9/11 - essentially, by revealing that one of the hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar, was in the United States.
But Lawrence Wright, author of "The Looming Tower," a highly acclaimed book about the 9/11 attacks, argues in The New Yorker that Pauley's reasoning is flawed. Mihdhar was already on the CIA's roster of al-Qaeda suspects. The CIA knew that he had a U.S. visa and that his friend and traveling companion, another hijacker named Nawaf al-Hamzi, was in the United States.

Non-advocates can appear before consumer forums: Apex court
Wednesday August 31, 2011 09:15:06 PM, IANS
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has held that a non-advocate could appear before the consumer disputes redressal forum if he/she is appearing on an individual case basis without charging a fee and also without any pre-existing relationship with the complainant. A bench of Justice Dalveer Bhandari, Justice Dr. Mukundakam Sharma and Justice Anil R. Dave in their judgment Monday, but made available Wednesday, said that pre-existing relationship includes relatives, neighbours, business associates or personal friends. The court said this in its detailed suggestion to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) for framing rules to facilitate the appearance of representatives who, however, are not legal practitioners before consumer forums. However, speaking for the bench, Justice Bhandari said that the commission may consider creating a process through which non-advocates may be accredited to practice as representatives before a (consumer) forum. The court further said that accredited non-advocates "shall be allowed to appear before a forum on regular basis". The basic issue that was sought to be addressed by the larger bench was "whether a person under the purported cover of being an 'agent' (non-legal practitioner) could represent a large number of person before the consumer forum". The apex court's suggestions to NCDRC came while dismissing the appeals challenging the Bombay High Court judgment of Sep 4, 2002, which held that the authorised agents can appear before the consumer fora constituted under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, as they have "trappings of a civil court" but "are not civil courts within the meaning of provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure". The high court judgment came after the State Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission stayed proceedings in all the cases where non-advocate representatives were appearing on behalf of the complainants before district consumer forums. Holding that the high court judgment could not be said to be "erroneous and unsustainable in law", the apex court directed the NCDRC to frame comprehensive rules within three months of its order. "It is the bounden duty of the courts to discern legislative intention and interpret the statutes accordingly. In the instant case, act and rules have made specific provisions by which the agents have been permitted to plead and appear on behalf of the parties before the consumer forums. Therefore, to interpret it differently would be contrary to legislative intention," the judgment said. It further said that the legislature has given an option to the parties before the consumer forums to either personally appear or be represented by an "authorized agent" or by an advocate, then the court "would not be justified in taking away that option or interpreting the statute differently". The accreditation process, the court's suggestion to NCDRC said, would involve written examination to test the knowledge of relevant laws and ability to make legal presentation, including the educational and professional background of the person seeking accreditation. The presiding officer of the consumer forum would decide on the quantum of fee upon a specific request from the representatives appearing for a complainant. The fixation of fee would be incumbent upon the extent and type of service being rendered by the representative, including the nature of the case and complexities involved and the level of skill and competence required for dealing with the case. In the case where aggrieved party seeking monetary compensation, the quantum of fee would not be more than 20 percent of the damages. The NCDRC will also create a code of conduct and frame rules empowering consumer forums to initiated disciplinary action against the non-advocates, agents, authorized organisations and representatives for violating code of conduct. The disciplinary powers would include suspension or banning of non-advocates from appearing before the consumer forum and include fines.

Backup Exec System Recovery causing Incremental Exchange Backups to Fail on Backup Exec
I was hoping someone would be able to help me with a problem we are having on multiple servers.
Windows SBS 2003/2008 Servers
Backup Exec 2010 for SBS installed backing up Exchange using GRT, Data, System State, Shadow Copy Components.
This is configured using two policies.
Policy 1) Exchange Backup. One Full GRT enabled weekly and then an incremetal backup running daily.
Sent to a Backup to Disk Folder.
Policy 2) Data, System State and Shadow Copy Components. One Full Backup and then incremental backups running daily.
Exchange data excluded from D:\Program Files\ and going to a seperate Backup to Disk Folder.
Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 for SBS installed to create backup media incase the server fails and we need to get it running up quickly.
This is configured to create a Full recovery point every week and incremental backups from then onwards.
The problem:
The Exchange Policy in backup exec completes a full backup successfully however fails the incremental backups with the error:
The job failed with the following error: The Backup Exec Agent for Microsoft Exchange was not used to create the last full backup of this database. You must use the Exchange Agent to run a full backup before you run a differential or incremental backup.
I have read that Backup Exec System Recovery may be the cause of the problem.
Is there anything I can to resolve this issue and get these backups running as expected?
Thank you in advanced for taking the time to respond to the issues I am experiancing.
Thank you,
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Unfortunately every time you back the server up with BESR/SSR the next Exchange backup you run with BE will have to be a Full one othewise you will get that error.
I'd suggest running your BESR (DR backup) once a week and then follow that by an Exchange Full in BE, then do Incrementals as needed until you run your next BESR backup.
Obviously if this server also contains non-Exchange data then back that data up during the week as well.

Comments about 48" Brazilian Cherry Lite Tread:
Recently completed installation of 1,100 square feet of 3/4" Brazilian Cherry Lite flooring and redid my stair case with the matching treads. The finished job is great and makes our gameroom / library look outstanding. No real installation problems. This summer / fall I will be installing another 1100 plus square feet to finish another section of my house. This flooring adds real value to homes. Its not like the laminates and engineered floors that gives you the feeling it is a consumbale this is a life long type of floor. 20 or 30 years from now someone will walk into the room and say this is nice.

What type of finish? good enough for 2 small dogs?1 answer
Despite today's advanced technology, water spills, dirt and other abrasive substances can damage a wood floor's finish. Location, traffic patterns, how often the floor is vacuumed and cleaned, children and/or pets are all factors that influence wear and durability.Q:
Could you please tell me the dimensions of the maple quarter-round?1 answer
Quarter Round Molding that we carry is all 3/4" x 3/4"Q:
We have a second level concrete floor . Is ist best to glue orfloat the floor. 3/4 X 5 maple1 answer
We do not recommend either when over concrete. You can however use Elastilon as your installation system to achieve this. Elastilon Self Adhesive Underlayment is a good option for any flat subfloor. You can use up to 3/4" thick or thinner solid or tongue and groove engineered flooring (works best with 1/2" or thicker). Floating with Elastilon needs to have an expansion break for spans over 33' on it's width, but not length.Q:
Hi:1 answer
All pre-finished flooring has a micro-bevel.Q:
I have this is my kitchen(prefinished maple)and I am really tired of it;(.I have had it for a verrrry long time) Is it possible to sand this down and stained a darker color?Any other options?Thanks1 answer
Full refinishing will take slightly under a 1/32" off the veneer of the wood flooring. The thickness of the veneer and how much wear and dents a floor has will determine how many times it can be refinished. Solid hardwood that is ¾" thick may be refinished 4 to 7 or more times depending on how much wood was taken off on each refinishing. We recommend that hardwood floor refinishing be done by a professional and if your not sure if you can refinish your flooring have professional sand and finish expert come to your home and evaluate your flooring. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
I read that the length of this wood ranges from 1' to 7', but what is the average length?1 answer
the lengths will vary from box to box so on average the lengths would be 4' long but each box is based on square footage not board lengths, sorryQ:
Can this be installed on above grade concrete?1 answer
This is a solid 3/4" product designed to be nailed to a wood substrate.Q:
Is this only finished in the US or manufactured? If it is not then do you have any hardwood or laminate that is manyfactured in the USA?1 answer
Maple is harvested and manufactured in the US, the finish is also a product of the USA. The finishing process of this material is performed in VirginiaQ:
Some reviews imply that this is tongue and groove. Is that true?1 answer
That is a true statement, this material is a tongue and grooveQ:
can you use the double sided tape to install this flooring at grade level?1 answer
The 3/4" products are designed as a naildown product only. However there is a product called Elastilon that will allow the floor to be installed over concrete or withouth using nails or glue.

Budget battle: Omnibus or another CR?
Wednesday - 11/24/2010, 10:31am EST
Molly Hooper. Congressional reporter, the Hill
Click below to hear the interview
By Jolie Lee
Federal News Radio
Congress faces what is likely to be the final week of its lame duck session when it returns from the Thanksgiving break on Monday.
Lawmakers must act on the budget to keep government in business past Dec. 3 when the current continuing resolution expires.
Will Congress push through an omnibus bill or another continuing resolution?
"That's the $1 trillion question," said Molly Hooper, a congressional reporter with The Hill, in an interview with the Federal Drive.
Hooper said her prediction is Congress will pass another continuing resolution.
An omnibus would rely on the support of Republicans in the Senate, Hooper said. Even the moderate Senate Republicans are "less apt to make deals with Democrats and approve an omnibus" after hearing the message of the voters.
Congress also faces twelve appropriations bills still waiting for approval.
Hooper said the defense authorization bill probably will not pass until the Pentagon releases its review on the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy that bans gays from openly serving in the military. The current bill repeals the policy.
"If the Pentagon review comes out and says get rid of Don't Ask Don't Tell, more Republicans would be apt to move forward with that piece of legislation," Hooper said.
As Republicans have targeted federal spending to cut the deficit, Hooper said a government shutdown is probably not going to happen while Democrats still have control of the House.
However, Hooper said she sees a chance of a shutdown under the new Congress "because Republicans want to make a point, but they don't have that control now."

"It's been frustrating to read some of the misrepresentations of our bill in the cybersphere," Collins said, arguing the new bill actually circumscribes the president's existing authority and puts controls on its use. "I believe the substitute amendment we're offering strengthens those protections even more."
"Misrepresentations in the cybersphere." This is a person who has no idea what they're talking about. No one who knows, or even uses, the Internet would dare utter the phrase, "cybersphere" in the year 2010. Next thing you know, Collins will defend the need to clear the blockages of the series of tubes that power the Internet…
Now, Collins was specifically referring to reports "in the cybersphere" that Lieberman's bill created new authority for the President to use an "Internet kill switch" to shut down the Information Superhighway in the case of a national emergency. Collins is actually correct – the bill doesn't create this authority, as it already exists in the Telecommunications Act of 1934. This bill, as Collins notes, affirms the authority the President already has to kill the Internet, radio, and other forms of communications. (Thanks to lotus in the comments at The Oil Drum for this information.)
The bill has been criticized by civil liberties and technology groups for its lack of protection for free speech in such an emergency. And for good reason; in addition to serious civil liberties concerns, it's Joe Lieberman's initial defense of the bill, and its affirmation of the Internet kill switch, that should make any American afraid:
"Right now China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in case of war and we need to have that here too," said Lieberman.
Saying the United States needs to be more like China in its control of citizens should be no way to approach regulation of the Internet, even in a national emergency. It's just more evidence that people like Joe Lieberman, Susan Collins, and Ted Stevens should leave regulation of the Internet to people who actually know what they're talking about.

Even though he denied releasing clips of the videotape, "One Night In Paris," that turned up on the Internet, Solomon says the Hilton family is blaming him anyway.
"They're trying to bury me," Solomon said at the time. "They're making me look sleazy."

Current proposals from the Department of Health and Human Services would consolidate many federal categorical programs into block grants that each state would allocate among competing health needs and among local public and private sector agencies. A Senate legislative proposal would consolidate and replace 12 CDC categorical programs with 1 or 2 block grants. The Department of Health and Human Services advocates consolidating these CDC programs into three new public health "Performance Partnership Grants," including one for HIV/AIDS, STD, and TB. Performance Partnership Grants are essentially block grants that

Great rifle for the money. I have a couple myself and enjoy them.
Worth much more than $100.00. Fun guns!
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
Crude, ugly, heavy, not tacticool- and will still shoot accurately after having a building fall on it. Can be maintained by a Russian peasant that had never seen a light switch. Enough power to have an effective range measured in zip codes. One of the few rifles that an ocean of CHEAP Milsurp ammo is still available for- and this marvel of Commie Engineering is available for less than the price of a plastic stocked 22 rifle. Of course you should not buy one. They get lonely like that. Buy 2.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Absolutely, I love them. You have to get them in pairs.
Very worth it.. Great fun to shoot. Tends to get the range-master's attention. "Who's got the boomer?" You can find them with bores black as dirt, counter-bored, and dinged up to hell and back, and then take it to the range and put holes in paper at 100 yards with the iron sights. Milsurp ammo comes in the flavor of 23 cents/round (clean well after shooting, it is usually corrosive). Part of the fun is also the cosmoline clean-up after you first pick it up! You'll learn how simple it is to take apart and put back together.
I'll throw another related question out here if I may... Hex or round receiver? is one easier to mount a scope to than the other? one more desirable from a collectors point of view?

Pistol cartridge 94AEs do not generally draw top dollar, many had feeding issues. I would say you are going to be right in the $350-ish area pricewise, maybe a bit more if it really is in excellent condition.

Go to gunbroker or gunauction and check the completed auctions. Not what people are asking for them but what guns have actually sold for. Can you be more specific on the model? Is it a trapper? Legacy? etc. If you post a pic or the exact model type and condition we'd have a better idea. Whats the asking price?

I was cruising GB looking for a 94 trapper .44 mag for my step dad & the asking prices were outrageous. I've had that gun on my own radar for a long time and the going price for an excellent condition used one was the same as what Scorch said...$400-500 on the HIGH end as of a few months ago. So, I'm in agreement with scorch. HOWEVER, I was seeing $750-$800 + on GB. What gives??? Guess the price-gouging didn't stop with AR's. Sad.

I always thought the pistol cartridge 94's were higher than the 30-30 class guns. I had a USRAC 44 mag Trapper years ago and it was a fine rifle, never a problem and whats a little bit nastie out of a revolver is fairly mild out of a carbine. Nice shooter.

RG 069:011, Orville H. Platt PapersInventoryFinding aid prepared by Connecticut State Library Staff.Copyright © 2010 by the Connecticut State Library
Biographical NoteOrville Hitchcock Platt, the son of Daniel Gould Platt and Almyra (Hitchcock) Platt, was born in Washington, Litchfield County, Connecticut on July 19, 1827. He grew up on a farm and attended public schools and graduated from Professor Gunn's Academy (later to become the Gunnery Academy) in Washington, Connecticut. In 1847-1848 he spent the winter as Gunn's assistant in a school in Towanda, Pennsylvania. Platt was admitted to the Litchfield County Bar in 1850. He married Annie Bull, of Towanda, on May 15, 1850. Orville and Annie had three children with one son, Judge James P. Platt, living into adulthood. He spent six months in the law office of Ulysses S. Mercur who would become the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. At the end of the sixth month Platt was admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania but instead decided to move back to Connecticut. Platt in 1851 settled in Meriden, Connecticut where he lived and practiced law for the next five decades. His wife Annie died at the Arlington Hotel in Washington, D.C. on November 13, 1893. In 1897, Platt married the widow Jeannie Penniman Hoyt the daughter of former US Senator Truman Smith of Connecticut; they had no children. Platt from 1851 to 1853 was the associate newspaper editor of the Whig. He was elected to a three year term as judge of probate for Meriden in 1853. He then served as clerk of the Connecticut State Senate from 1855 to 1857; Secretary of State of Connecticut in 1857; Connecticut State Senator from 1861-1862; and served as a representative in the Connecticut General Assembly in 1864, chairman of the judiciary committee, and was Speaker of the House in 1869. In 1864, as chair of the house judiciary committee he played a key role in securing legislative passage of a proposed amendment to the Connecticut constitution that would grant voting rights to the state's soldiers in the field during the Civil War. After serving as Speaker of the House he retired to his law practice. He was appointed the state's attorney for New Haven County from 1877 to 1879. Orville Hitchcock Platt was elected as a Republican to the United States Senate in 1879. Platt was a distinguished member of the United States Senate from Connecticut from 1879 until his death in April 1905. He served on the following committees on: Patents (chairman), Pensions, Territories, Cuban Relations, and Judiciary. Senator Platt is remembered chiefly today for the Platt Amendment to the Army Appropriation Act of 1901, a series of provisions to be added to the constitution of then recently liberated Cuba designed to keep that country free of control by countries other than the United States. As Chairman of the Committee on Cuban Relations, Platt secured the passage of the Amendment, which in 1903 was incorporated in a treaty with Cuba.1 During his long Senate career, Platt concerned himself actively with other foreign affairs questions (the Panama Canal, tariff matters, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Chinese exclusion) and with a number of other areas, including the patent system, international copyright, Indian affairs, the new western states, currency reform, and open executive sessions of the Senate. He was a strong supporter of Theodore Roosevelt for re-election in 1904 and was an acknowledged party leader as one of the United State Senate's "Big Four" (Platt of Connecticut, Aldrich of Rhode Island, Spooner of Wisconsin and Allison of Iowa). Joseph Roswell Hawley a former United States Senator, General, and friend of Platt died in Washington, D.C. on March 18, 1905. Both had served and worked together as Senators from Connecticut for 26 years. Platt accompanied the funeral train back to Hartford, Connecticut for Hawley's burial. The funeral was held on a cold windy day and it is believed by several sources this led to Platt catching a cold which resulted in pneumonia. He returned back to Washington, D.C. for three days to finish Senate business and then returned to Meriden where he became ill at the end of March. United States Senator Orville Hitchcock Platt died at his home, Kirby Corners, in Meriden, New Haven County, Connecticut on April 21, 1905 at age 77. Endnotes
1Actually, although Platt's friends later claimed he wrote the amendment, it seems to have been drafted by Secretary of State
Elihu Root and General Leonard Wood.
Return to the Table of Contents Scope and ContentThe papers in this collection represent only a fragment of Senator Platt's records, principally for the period 1900-1905; others - presumably much greater in bulk - were destroyed by a misguided clerk in the committee office immediately after the Senator's death. This collection also includes materials from Miss Lawler's own correspondence concerning Senator Platt and his records, as well as papers from Mrs. Jeannie P. Platt and from the State Library files. The papers were arranged into eleven series which reflect Orville H. Platt's personal, political, legislative, and legal career in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. The series include Correspondence, Memorial Volumes, Scrapbooks, Speeches, Katleen Lawler Papers, State Library File, Senator Albert Beveridge Correspondence, Alice M. Robertson Files, State Reception, Photographs, and Miscellaneous. Series 1. Correspondence, 1880-1905, include eight folders and ten bound volumes of correspondence between Platt and President Roosevelt, Congressional colleagues, federal departments, political advisors, the Republican National Committee, Connecticut state officials, corporations, groups, and friends. The bulk of the correspondence is between Platt and John H. Flagg, a political advisor and lawyer from New York. The series also consists of clippings, memos, legislative bills, and statements. Series 2. Memorial Volumes, 1905-1913, consist of two bound volumes and a scrapbook of correspondence, telegrams, notes, resolutions and clippings received or collected following Senator Platt's death.

Abstract | Age-associated loss of olfactory function, or presbyosmia, has been described in many studies of olfactory ability. Presbyosmia has been ascribed to idiopathic causes despite recognition that many neurodegenerative diseases also induce loss of olfactory function and increase in incidence in the aged population. Often this olfactory loss is unnoticed or unreported by affected individuals. More effective olfactory function in women compared with men is another common feature of many studies of olfactory function. Here we report on normative data from an Australian population study (n = 942) that has been divided into 2 subpopulations and reassessed as (included) a population of healthy, nonmedicated, nonsmokers with no history of nasal problems (n = 485) and (excluded) a population of participants who were either medicated, smokers or had a history of nasal problems (n = 457). The "included" data set shows a strong relationship between self-reporting of olfactory sensitivity and olfactory function score. The included data set shows a small but significant decline in olfactory ability after 65 years of age and better olfactory function in females compared with males. Data from the excluded population show a marked decline in olfactory ability after 65 years of age, no difference between males and females, and a weak relationship between self-reporting of olfactory function and actual olfactory function. The power of this approach is that it provides a normative data set against which many factors such as medication schedules and pathological conditions can be compared. |

Our book "Prime Curios! The Dictionary of Prime Number Trivia" is now available on CreateSpace, Amazon, .... |
(This article in: Belorussian) The number one is far more special than a prime! It is the unit (the building block) of the positive integers, hence the only integer which merits its own existence axiom in Peano's axioms. It is the only multiplicative identity (1.a = a.1 = a for all numbers a). It is the only perfect nth power for all positive integers n. It is the only positive integer with exactly one positive divisor. But it is not a prime. So why not? Below we give four answers, each more technical than its precursor. If this question interests you, you might look at the history of the primaility of one as described in our papers: "What is the smallest prime?" [CX2012] and "The History of the Primality of One: A Selection of Sources" [CRXK2012]. These papers survey the history of the concept of prime and of the number one. It may surprise you to learn that for must of history one was not even considered a number (but rather the source of number), so was obviously not considered prime. This should probably be added to this page as another reason one is not considered prime: by historical use.. Answer One: By definition of prime!The definition is as follows.An integer greater than one is called a prime number if its only positive divisors (factors) are one and itself.Clearly one is left out, but this does not really address the question "why?" Answer Two: Because of the purpose of primes.The formal notion of primes was introduced by Euclid in his study of perfect numbers (in his "geometry" classic The Elements). Euclid needed to know when an integer n factored into a product of smaller integers (a nontrivially factorization), hence he was interested in those numbers which did not factor. Using the definition above he proved:
Answer Three: Because one is a unit.Don't go feeling sorry for one, it is part of an important class of numbers call the units (or divisors of unity). These are the elements (numbers) which have a multiplicative inverse. For example, in the usual integers there are two units {1, -1}. If we expand our purview to include the Gaussian integers {a+bi | a, b are integers}, then we have four units {1, -1, i, -i}. In some number systems there are infinitely many units.So indeed there was a time that many folks defined one to be a prime, but it is the importance of units in modern mathematics that causes us to be much more careful with the number one (and with primes). Answer Four: By the Generalized Definition of Prime.(See also the technical note in The prime Glossary' definition).There was a time that many folks defined one to be a prime, but it is the importance of units and primes in modern mathematics that causes us to be much more careful with the number one (and with primes). When we only consider the positive integers, the role of one as a unit is blurred with its role as an identity; however, as we look at other number rings (a technical term for systems in which we can add, subtract and multiply), we see that the class of units is of fundamental importance and they must be found before we can even define the notion of a prime. For example, here is how Borevich and Shafarevich define prime number in their classic text "Number Theory:" An element p of the ring D, nonzero and not a unit, is called prime if it can not be decomposed into factors p=ab, neither of which is a unit in D. Sometimes numbers with this property are called irreducible and then the name prime is reserved for those numbers which when they divide a product ab, must divide a or b (these classes are the same for the ordinary integers--but not always in more general systems). Nevertheless, the units are a necessary precursors to the primes, and one falls in the class of units, not primes. |

Differing opinions on stocks is what makes the market. And that's why when you see unanimous agreement to not buy, or even dump a stock, you should take notice.
There are nine stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500, including industrial gas seller Air Products & Chemicals (APD), wood seller Plum Creek Timber (PCL) and chemical firm Dow Chemical (DOW) that get universally low marks from Wall Street analysts on average, S&P Capital IQ's analysts and the stock research firm New Constructs.
To make the list, the stock need to get a "strong sell" or "sell" rating from S&P Capital IQ, a "very dangerous" or "dangerous" rating from New Constructs and an average "hold" rating from Wall Street analysts. A hold might not sound bad, except in Wall Street analyst parlance, hold means sell. Hold is the lowest average rating of any stocks in the S&P 500 (not a single S&P 500 company has an average "sell" rating).
Being cautious might make more sense now that markets are in flux amid geopolitical questions.
Each of the stocks ratings approaches is unique, as the firms look at companies very differently. New Constructs compares the company's present value of expected future cash flows with the current stock price to see if it's attractively priced, or dangerous. S&P Capital IQ uses a series of tests to evaluate stocks and Wall Street analysts have a variety of approaches, when when combined, gives a collective view on the stock.
These stocks aren't getting low ratings just because the stocks are down — and analysts are reacting behind the curve. Just the opposite All but two, Plum Creek and public utility company Ameren (AEE) are actually beating the S&P 500's 16.5% gain over the past 12 months.
If fact, in some cases, is the high stock prices (and high expectations) that are causing analysts to turn negative on some of these stocks. Take oil drilling company Helmerich & Payne (HP). The stock is up 69% over the past twelve months. Yet it gets a sell rating from S&P Capital IQ, a "dangerous" rating from New Constructs and a hold from Wall Street analysts. But in a report to clients in April about the stock, which rated it "underperform," Credit Suisse sums up the problem: "Dealing with high expectations." The firm reflected that the company is a strong performer, but even if its optimistic forecasts played out, Credit Suisse says it could only justify a $90 a share price. Shares are trading for more than $110 now.
Sometimes markets and reality get disconnected. It's the analysts' job to point these situations out — which they are in these 9 cases. We'll see if all these analysts are right.
Below are the nine S&P 500 companies that have "sell" or "strong sell" ratings from S&P Capital IQ, "very dangerous" or "dangerous" ratings from New Constructs and average "Hold" ratings from Wall Street analysts:
Company | Symbol | 12-mo. % Ch. | STARS rating | New Const. rating |
Plum Creek Timber | PCL | -11.2% | 2 | Dangerous |
Ameren | AEE | 10.9% | 2 | Very dangerous |
Chesapeake Energy | CHK | 18.3% | 2 | Very dangerous |
Vulcan Mat'ls | VMC | 25.4% | 2 | Dangerous |
NiSource | NI | 26.2% | 2 | Very dangerous |
Hospira | HSP | 26.8% | 1 | Dangerous |
Air Products | APD | 33.4% | 2 | Dangerous |
Dow Chemical | DOW | 49.3% | 2 | Very dangerous |
Helmerich & Payne | HP | 68.8% | 2 | Dangerous |
Sources: S&P Capital IQ, USA TODAY research
S&P STARS ratings: 5- Strong buy, 4- Buy, 3- Hold, 2- Sell, 1- Strong sell

This thread seems to be a particularly refined strain of this phenomenon. Bravo, Righties! Thanks to ObamaCare, my health insurance premiums dropped 30% and I now have a plan that covers routine care! Thank God for ObamaCare!
But of course, unions. Always and 4-eva. Don't mess with the narrative. I come from a hole in the ground known as the Inland Empire. I bought a car and drove as far and as fast as I could as soon as I could. Last edited by loop610bob; 07-12-2012 at 08:58 AM.. |
I mean, when you build an economy around say, fish, and life is good for many years and many people get fat and rich on fish and then one year the fish leave and never come back and people spend decades and tons of money researching the fish problem expecting the fish to come back if only they can chum the water correctly... The city ran into the ground chasing the proverbial fish. They probably should not be given more money to find fish. But when your entire city is literally built around fish and there hasn't been fish in decades, what do you do? When the land around the wharfs is all ghetto.. when the rich ran away long ago.. San Bern is screwed. Always has been since Norton died. Blue collar work force without work for a long time. A huge swath of their land is unusable and unhelpfully located square in the middle of their city, creating ghettos. Too far from LA to really be a commuter town (though people do it). Renegotiate with the retirees. Burn all other bond holders. I'd say sell something, but they got nothin to sell. Last edited by loop610bob; 07-12-2012 at 09:09 AM.. |
Renegotiate (I'd say CAP) retiree bene's. Renegotiate EVERY contract. and SHRINK dramatically. |
Cue righteous indignation in 5..4..3.. Elmer doesn't even have the capacity to pretend to understand, but this isn't one of those cases of unions sucking the town dry. This is a case of landowners using government for decades to try to recoup what they lost. And if government goes down then so what? They've already lost their butts on their property. This isn't new. I'm in my thirties and they were doing this exact same thing when I was in my teens. The books are bad 13 of 16 years in a town spending its money trying to lure companies to its giant sink hole. Can't imagine where/how the books are bad. also unions bad rawr Last edited by loop610bob; 07-12-2012 at 10:08 AM.. |
Appears to be a bit of both based on what I've read.
The report of the city's finance dept. to the city council is here: http://www.ci.san-bernardino.ca.u |
You're the one spewing indignant while being as obtuse as possible. If you have special knowledge of San Berdoo that those of us that have lived an hour or two away from it for 40+ years don't, than go ahead and enlighten everyone. I'm waiting for you to show us that among other mistakes, SB didn't make deals with employee unions that they couldn't afford. |
I mean, is it really fair to put this on the union side of the register when all public works has been doing for the past 20 years as far as capital expenditure is to improve the sink hole? The city decides its future lies in saving the hole. It puts all of its effort towards the hole for 2 decades. All public works effort is put towards widening roads to make the hole more accessible, building facilities and support to make the hole more attractive, etc. etc. etc. And it's the unions fault. For... doing the work for two decades?
And the last of the believers walks away and the city finally breaks under the weight of decades of failing to put lipstick on a pig. And it's the unions fault simply by the act of owing the union money. That friends, is completely f@#$@# retarded. Oh, and the city had already cut 20% of its workers and saved $10 mil a year in concessions from the unions. But they lost $15 mil a year in property taxes due to declining values. But yes, unions bad. Narrative. Stay on message, guys. 15.7% unemployment. San Berdoo is a giant sucking hole in the ground that has problems too numerous to count. OH JESUS NOT AGAIN. Narrative. Unions did it. unions rawr bad. This is probably the wrong time to point out that San Berdoo is both high crime and has an unbelievably high fire threat. The fire a couple years ago that burned up half the mountain and all those houses started down in the canyon on the way up Hwy 18, right smack in San Berdoo's territory. And then there was the Old Fire that killed those people... Sure hope they don't slash police and fire! Oh right, with the no f@#$@#^ idea what I'm talking about. Google it. Elmer, I'm blocking you. I don't think I've ever seen you add value to a conversation. You bore me. Just so you don't feel left out when I don't point out that you don't know what you're talking about anymore.

"We are aiming to reclaim the negative slang term "organ donor" in the motorcycle industry," said Kent Holloway, CEO of Lifeline of Ohio. "Motorcyclists should be proud to declare themselves organ donors. Our goal is to demonstrate the positive impact they can have by registering in the Ohio Donor Registry and let them know they have the opportunity to live on and ride on by donating life."
Lifeline of Ohio is working to connect with motorcycle enthusiasts, a group known for its philanthropic efforts and sense of community, with their "Live On. Ride On." campaign, launched in May 2009. The group is reaching out to motorcyclists at events, retail locations, rider training programs and through social media. So far, the initiative has been a success, touching hundreds of enthusiasts and registering more than 30 new organ and tissue donors. Motorcycle enthusiasts in central Ohio can also connect with "Live On. Ride On." online, at www.Lifelineofohio.org/LiveOnRideOn, where they can read stories of motorcyclists who have been touched by donation, see the latest schedule of events, connect through Facebook and Twitter and register to be an organ and tissue donor.

Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, August 11, 2013 – Olympic champions Brazil got over their surprise 3-1 defeat by Bulgaria on Saturday with a comfortable 3-0 (25-14, 25-15, 25-17) win against pool G hosts Puerto Rico.
Brazil have never dropped a set against Puerto Rico in World Grand Prix matches and that stayed the same on Sunday as they won the opening set of a match for the first time in the 2013 competition.
Brazil head coach Jose Roberto Guimaraes was pleased with his team's change of attitude.
"We came out with a lot of concentration to get this victory. This was very important for [us before] next week's pool."
Captain Fabiana Claudino was also pleased with the pressure Brazil put on their opponents. "We played very well, our serve was excellent throughout the whole match."
Puerto Rico head coach Rafael Olazagasti conceded his team were beaten by a better team. "They're a very organised team, they showed great control over the serve and other areas. They are very well-trained, with great coaching."
His captain Yarimar Rosa preferred to concentrate on their coming matches. "We have to work out our rhythm, we need to make adjustments for next week in Thailand."
