Some city workers, retirees could face big pension bill
At issue is the purchase of service credits at reduced rates
Background: The city began allowing its workers to buy extra years of credited service in 1997. The pension board raised the price in 2003 but not before allowing a brief window for workers to buy years under a cheaper rate.
What's changing: An appeals court ruled the board violated the law and ordered pension officials to correct the mistake without taxpayer money. About 2,200 workers may have to accept reduced pensions or pay a lump sum.
Future: The City Council has until the end of January to decide whether to exempt some or all of the workers by placing the financial burden on taxpayers.
About 2,200 current and retired San Diego city workers find themselves in a financial bind because of a seven-year-old decision they made to pad their pensions through a special program that allowed them to buy additional years of service that they never actually worked.
Now each of those workers — including roughly 500 who have already retired and live on fixed incomes — may be forced to accept significantly reduced pensions or pay a lump sum of as much as $50,000 to keep their current pension.
An appeals court ruled in June that pension officials illegally allowed those workers to buy extra years in 2003 at a rate far below what they knew the program cost. The pension board delayed implementation of a new higher rate for nearly three months and workers proceeded to spend $144 million on extra years valued at $227 million.
That decision, which the court ruled the board had no authority to make, coupled with subsequent overpayments to pensioners, left taxpayers on the hook for an unfunded liability of $100 million, a portion of the city's overall $2.1 billion pension deficit. The court ordered the pension system to fix the error and prohibited it from charging the city for the mistake.
Now the City Council has until the end of January to decide whether to exempt some or all of those workers from paying for the mistake and use taxpayer money to correct the problem. If the city does nothing, pension officials said they would move forward with readjusting benefits or force affected workers to pay out of pocket to keep their existing pensions.
Retirees and union leaders told the council at a hearing last week they would likely sue if any changes are made. They contend workers bought credits at the urging of city and pension officials and made retirement decisions based on what they were promised.
"You have never once as an employer told employees don't do this, these contracts aren't valid," said Ann Smith, attorney for the city's white-collar union. "You think it's OK now in 2010 just to sit here and act like you're going to do some benign correction. You are going to rip people's hearts out."
Not everyone is sympathetic and there's a question of whether any fix that involves taxpayer money would constitute an illegal gift of public funds. Councilman Carl DeMaio said the pension board knowingly underpriced the program at the expense of taxpayers and workers shouldn't benefit by getting more than they paid for.

Waswo X Waswo's India Poems edits out modernity, says David de Souza
It might be easy to quickly dismiss India Poems, an exhibition of photographs (also released as a book) by American photographer Waswo X Waswo as pictorial, post-colonial, romantic imagery. But the question that might stimulate the viewer of these photographs is about reality, deception, falsity, illusion and the relationship all these have with perspective — the photographer's and the viewer's.
Photographs have the immediacy of telling you about the subject being portrayed, the portrayer, and ultimately about you—across time, culture, and all those classic ethnographic divides. These images, all made within the last six years, depict the Indian world that we think we know. The world of Waswo, a Verrier Elwin with a camera, looks very familiar.
It deals selectively with a bucolic India; all traces of globalisation are framed out, modernity is edited and excluded from a sepia-toned, 10" square bromide. The works, in that sense, are elegiac, wistfully pining, lamenting pace and progress. It would be curious to wonder about who or what is stuck in a pre-industrialised world — the photographer, subject or viewer.
At the exhibition, Waswo commented on the connection between uniqueness and the exotic (a term that makes him cringe), yet in the same breath said he sought to distill the 'specialness' of his subjects. It comes as a bit of a contradiction.
There is an endearing, mundane, ordinariness in the work; most of the posed subjects are smack in the centre of the Rolliflex square, that has reverberations with so many photographers of the '60s, Diane Arbus and Irving Penn being the most noteworthy. While this is only a construct, the decision to shoot square, or horizontal, chemical analog as opposed to digital, the medium and the message come in intimate prints that draw you in, rather than distance you.
The images, even at this size, are not sharp; most are set in a diffused light. Are all of these conscious elements to induce a sense of retarded time, backwardness, a sense of contemporary history? Whose time, whose history? Ultimately, the photographs stand before you defenceless, they lack the energy to jump past the 2mm protective glass and touch you meaningfully. What distinguishes the poem from the prose?
Waswo X Waswo's India Poems — 69 photographs and a book, organised by Bombay Art Gallery and Gallerie Publishers; Bombay Art Gallery, Ruia House, Mount Pleasant Road, Malabar Hill, ongoing till October 31.

Next CEO must shore up sales organization and improve ad technology
Yahoo faces yet another leadership vacuum after firing Carol Bartz, the sharp-tongued CEO once lauded for her no-nonsense attitude and willingness to sacrifice sacred cows.
By the time the company's board gave her the boot today, Bartz had come under widespread criticism for failures including a lack of new product hits, a failure to keep pace with evolving ad platforms, and a gutted sales organization that not long ago was considered the best in the business.
Chief Financial Officer Tim Morse will fill her shoes on an interim basis while Yahoo conducts a CEO search. The company's board also appointed an executive leadership council to support Morse, consisting of unnamed "key senior Yahoo executives."
During her two-year tenure, Bartz took aggressive steps to cut costs through layoffs and product shutdowns, a move widely seen as necessary to get the company into fighting shape in the startup-driven Internet economy. However in the process of slimming down its bloated operations, she may have shot the company in the foot. During its last earnings call, she suggested to investors that Yahoo had cut too deeply in its sales organization - losing key relationships with ad agency partners.
"It's not about new competitive developments, it's not about the economy…. The root cause was changes to our sales and leadership force," she said at the time. Its revenues of $1.08 billion for the three months ending June 30 was down from $1.13 billion in Q2 2010.
Bartz's single biggest accomplishment was its colossal search deal with Microsoft. After a months-long negotiation, the two companies agreed to merge their search operations - with Bing replacing Yahoo search on Yahoo.com and other Yahoo-owned web properties. The deal combined the No. 2 and No. 3 engines to create a single contender with approximately 30 percent of the search market, to Google's approximately 65 percent.
Roy Bostock, chairman, said in a statement released this evening, "The Board sees enormous growth opportunities on which Yahoo can capitalize, and our primary objective is to leverage the company's leadership and current business assets and platforms to execute against these opportunities. We have talented teams and tremendous resources behind them and intend to return the Company to a path of robust growth and industry-leading innovation. We are committed to exploring and evaluating possibilities and opportunities that will put Yahoo! on a trajectory for growth and innovation and deliver value to shareholders."
In recent months Yahoo's ability to innovate its ad platforms had come into question. Its Right Media ad exchange is still a leader in ad volume, but has fallen behind Google's Ad Exchange in the area of real-time bidding. Last month, one of the company's key ad technology leaders, Dev Patel, resigned. Patel had led Yahoo's Smart Ads dynamic display ad product and its search retargeting offering.

I recently noticed the pattern calls for chunky, thick yarn. I used normal, thin yarn. Perhaps that caused my hat size issue.

Very simple and pretty. However, mine turned out too small. Most likely the best solution would be to add an extra row or two of a row where you are putting 2 dc in some stitches. But overall I was very pleased with the turnout of my hat, and I was able to stretch it with it now being only slightly tight.

Hanna RubinThere are fascinating nuggets in the years after "A Chorus Line," like her memories of learning the lead in "Sweet Charity" from the actress who created the role, Gwen Verdon, or her shock at hearing of Bennett's death from AIDS in 1987, at the age of 44. But McKechnie will be remembered best as Cassie, the gypsy for whom a part in the chorus means much more than a job. Cassie owes more to McKechnie than most roles owe to their originators.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT WORTH ONE STAR,
James Steve Robles (Mora, New Mexico, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: National Geographic's Nightmares of Nature: Deadly Reptiles (VHS Tape)
National Geographic should be ashamed of itself, putting its name on this terrible video. I own many N.G. videos and DVDs; some are interesting, and some are boring. However, none were superficial until this one. This video is only 1/2 hour long, and it consists of 1) a woman's voice trying to sound ominous, and 2) very brief and superficial shots of some reptile predators. This video gives no information on habitat, habits, or even areas where the given reptiles are found. The "re-enactments" are so clumsily done that they are laughable.
I gave this video one star only because No Stars was not an option. My opinion of N.G. has greatly fallen. DON'T BUY IT !!

We propose efficient fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based algorithms using the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for the numerical solution of certain problems in planar thermoelasticity. In particular, we consider problems in domains possessing radial symmetry, namely disks and annuli and it is shown that the MFS matrices arising in such problems possess circulant or block-circulant structures. The solution of the resulting systems is facilitated by appropriately diagonalizing these matrices using FFTs. Numerical experiments demonstrating the applicability of these algorithms are also presented.

Curt Morgan on Eric Negley: 'Vaulters have it so much easier'
Curt Morgan writes: ŌĆ£Pole vaulting, frankly, scares the hell out of me. I donŌĆÖt want to be making my beginner mistakes eight or 10 feet off the ground. But M50 Eric Negley of Atlanta has an altogether different take on this event. ŌĆśFor most events, you run yourself silly, and your coach can tell you ŌĆ£Go back and run some more.ŌĆØ Vaulters have it so much easier, according to Eric. ŌĆ£You run 100 meters and then you get to lie downŌĆØ (on the soft landing pit cushions). The wear and tear did get to Eric recently: He had had three vertebrae fused using six screws and a piece of his hip bone. ŌĆ£It took me eight weeks to recover, using a hard collar that I could remove only for showers and eating,ŌĆØ Eric said. ŌĆ£Lost most of my pectoral muscle mass as I was prohibited from lifting more than 20 pounds above my shoulders during the eight-week healing period. As soon as I took the hard collar off it was off to the gym to continue with the next phase of the recovery process.ŌĆØ
Curt continues:
ŌĆ£As a result, I managed a comeback of sorts and finished 6th at Masters Nats in Olathe. Headed to Jacksonville Street Vault 8/16 to complete my outdoor season this year. Just two years ago. I guessed the recovery from that would be in terms of years.
ŌĆ£Nope! I was back vaulting inside two months. But I canŌĆÖt handle college level training any more.ŌĆØ
I was never so impressed with the ad hoc coaching and mutual assistance as I was in the vaulting area at Wake Forest.
ŌĆ£We vaulters are like a fraternity,ŌĆØ Eric analyzes. ŌĆ£We all want to help each other out. Someone wins, of course, but the mutual coaching helps everyone to go for a P.B. And, we do have fun.ŌĆØ
Eric thinks he has solved the mystery of the (relatively) few thirty- and forty-somethings doing masters track.
ŌĆ£Just about everyone takes 20 years or so off from track after college. They have to! TheyŌĆÖre raising their families!ŌĆØ
I get it, Eric! When the kiddies are finally out of the house, thatŌĆÖs when we all start trying to relive our high school glory days. I know that I am, anyway.

Roberto Mancini's No2 at Inter Milan, Sinisa Mihajlovic, says the sacked coach could handle the pressure of managing Chelsea.
Mihajlovic said: "I don't consider Chelsea to be a club superior to Inter in terms of history. It is for that reason I say Roberto could easily manage Chelsea and do well.
"Mancini has been at Inter for four years and has won a lot. I think his future is abroad. The Premiership has always fascinated Roberto."
The Serb confirmed that he would follow Mancini to London, saying: "My future is linked with Roberto for now. Where he goes, I will follow as we are a bonded by a profound friendship."

Durgerdam, to get out of the busy citylife
Durgerdam is THE Amsterdam attraction if you want to get out of the city-business and noise. This rather unknown part of Amsterdam is just a half hour (public) bus tour away from the centre or a 20 minutes drive and will take you in with a smile. the friendly village along the dike is on one end looking over wide wetlands and on the other side over the Marker Meer (meer = lake). A great trip for just a morning or afternoon out of Amsterdam city.
Sailing on the Markermeer
Sailing (and other watersports) is the number one attraction that Durgerdam offers the people that do not only come for the peace and quiet that this small village under Amsterdam offers. Along the dike on which Durgerdam is situated long wooden boardwalks are full with sailboats of every seize. In the lake some "Skutsjes" are floating, the most typical boat tha Holland has to offer (flat bottom boats, traditionally from Frysia and Holland). It's a joy to see the boats pass, but even more to be on one of them. Sailing is truely something that gives you connection with the Dutch spirit.
Nature and birdwatching in Amster(Durger(dam
Nature surrounds Durgerdam. Wetlands that attract an enormous amount of birds form a natural reserve where they feed on enormous amounts of natural foodreserves. Birdwatchers do enjoy this "waterland" that surrounds Durgerdam especially and many species of our feathered friends can be seen here.
Goudriaan route, Durgerdam
The Goudriaan route, a hike of about 12 km, starts and finishes just outside the village Durgerdam, close to the wind turbine. There is a big parking.
The hike is marked with blue stickers with "Goudriaan route", see the pictures.
Actually, the description of the hike says it is 12 km, but it seemed to be more like 10 km to us.
The hike goes along the dyke, and through the polder. We saw many birds during the walk.
The only drawback of this hike is that you're walking on rather narrow cycle-tracks, and there may be many bikes passing....

Church of Durgerdam
There has been a church at this place since 1642. The church was completely rebuilt in 1840, using material from the old church.
The church is located about 100m inland from the dike, on the road next to hotel-restaurant De Oude Taveerne (http://www.deoudetaveerne.nl/). The Chapel in the village (see my Durgerdam page) should not be mistaken for the church.
The Durgerdam Raadhuis (Council house) also known as the Chapel, dates from 1687.
It was build after a fire destroyed all the wooden houses along the dike in May 1687.

VBA / Office Specialist
United States - Last active: 1 month ago - Tests: 1 - Portfolio: 4
I apply my knowledge of the wide range of IT technologies and processes I have encountered in my career to every new project that I am involved in. I have an innate ability quickly to see the most efficient solution to almost every problem that I encounter. I have saved my past employers both money and manpower with the solutions that I have created. I have worked as a programmer, systems analyst, a Windows/UNIX system administrator, app developer, database architect, process improver, mainframe maintainer, and general all around computer guy throughout my career. When I start a new project I put all of my attention and effort into it until the end because I feel that is the best way to serve my customers. I am always professional in my interactions with all my customers and associates. I have used MS Office to create numerous solutions to various issues in an enterprise environment. The most impactful are listed below. -Created a scheduling database to ensure that all mainframe jobs and other tasks were completed for daily batch and post-processing. This greatly cut down on errors and omissions that were done in the past. -Created a server and workstation application in MS Access for Dental Advisors to review disputed claims. This application worked with mainframe data extracts, an external pictures database, and an internal database. It also gathered input from two other departments. This brought the company in full compliance with regulatory and privacy obligations. -Created a billing database for Small Groups to ensure proper and accurate billing. This helped the company retain business and saved many man-hours of work monthly. -Created many macros for Word and Excel to help others automate repetitive tasks thereby improving efficiency in the workplace. I have created databases in Lotus Notes to store production history. This helped the company comply with legal historical requirements by putting the data in one repository. I designed and created a many-table database to hold mainframe data in order to streamline ad-hoc reporting. I wrote Cobol programs to extract the mainframe's VSAM data into multiple flat files for input into a DB2 database running on an AIX server . This allowed us to create new reports for Sales and others in hours instead of the company's standard of weeks. I was half of the team that was most likely the first VSE mainframe shop to run without a mainframe printer. We utilized a beta version of mainframe TCP/IP software to push reports to a network printer and/or PDF files for emailing. This greatly cut electricity and paper costs as well as an hour from the nightly batch.

I'm a computer specialist who used to work on different types of jobs: administration, programming, IT-support. Currently and primarily I'm an iOS developer and already have the app available on the AppStore--Cherkalka. Because of my profession I have read a lot of documentation in English, and developed the habit to read books and see movies in their original language if I understand it, these languages are Russian and English. I often notice bad translations which sometimes even distort the meaning, and I know it can be done much better.

Opposition parties reacted angrily on Monday to the governments announcement that it aims to change the way MEPs are elected in European Parliament elections in May.
The government revealed over the weekend that it wants MEPs to be elected according to how many votes each wins rather than where they are placed on each partys electoral list.
Since 1981, each party has had to provide a list of candidates in numerical order, also called a closed list. Then, based on the percentage of the vote each party gets, the top name or names on the list are elected as MEPs.
Now, the government wants MEPs to be elected based on the partys share of the vote but also on how many votes each candidates get, also known as preferential voting. As a result, voters in the European Parliament elections on May 25 will have to put a cross next to one of the 42 candidates they want to vote from each of the parties of their choice.
Society will now have the say in who represents us in the European Parliament, said Interior Minister Yiannis Michelakis, who is responsible for preparing legislation for this electoral change.
Opposition parties, however, are not convinced that the change will allow voters to have greater control over who represents Greece in Brussels and Luxembourg. They argue that the government has made the change to give New Democracy and PASOK a better chance in the May polls.
SYRIZA accused the government of playing games, while former coalition partner Democratic Left (DIMAR) described the move as unacceptable politicking. The opposition parties argue that the change means there will not be a level playing field and that candidates who have money to campaign strongly will have an advantage.
The proposed change also comes after the government changed the law so that the European Parliament elections coincide with the first rather than second round of voting in local elections. This also upset opposition parties because voter turnout is traditionally lower on the second Sunday. This was also seen as a move designed to improve the governments prospects in the May elections.

The new year will be bringing many new changes to the mortgage servicing industry. In perhaps one of the most significant but least talked about changes, mortgage servicers will be facing several newly modified statutes regarding qualified written requests (more commonly known as QWRs) under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).
Consistent with the overall theme of the Dodd-Frank Act, Section 1463(c) will modify RESPA to allow borrowers to obtain faster responses to their QWRs as well as to impose heftier damages for a servicer's failure to respond. In fact, the timeframe for acknowledging and responding to QWRs will decrease significantly, and the allowable statutory damages for a QWR violation will double.
Section 1463(c) goes into effect on January 10, 2014, and will contain three noteworthy modifications to the QWR statute:
In addition to the tighter timeframe for responding to QWRs, the statutory damages available to a borrower will increase sharply. As of January 2014, an individual borrower may obtain statutory damages, in additional to actual damages, of as much as $2,000. Prior to the Dodd-Frank amendment, statutory damages available for a servicer's failure to respond to a QWR in a timely manner were capped at $1,000. Furthermore, in the case of a class action lawsuit, the maximum allowable amount of statutory damages available will double from $500,000 to $1 million.

HOUSTON Homicide detectives now say a man and woman were beaten to death before their house was set on fire in southeast Houston Thursday morning.
Firefighters found the bodies of 89-year-old Clements Dorsey and 61-year-old Barbara Alexander inside their home in the 8100 block of Dover.
Police say someone killed them both and set the house on fire to try and cover their tracks.
It s obvious that someone was in a rage when they conducted this crime, and as they went throughout the home, said Sgt. JJ Wilson with HPD s Homicide Division. We have a lot of blood and a lot of evidence from the garage up to the front door of the home.
Police want to question Dorsey s 19-year-old grandson, Cameron Dorsey. He moved in with his grandparents after he was released from jail. Relatives say the grandfather recently told the teen he had to find another place to live.
Police believe Cameron Dorsey may be in his grandparent s missing SUV. It is a gold 2004 Toyota Forerunner.
Clements Dorsey was caring for his wife, who has dementia. A relative at the scene said his grandmother slept through the chaos and wasn t harmed.
Warren Campbell said he visited his grandparents regularly and wished he had arrived earlier Thursday morning.
Me and the baby went to go eat breakfast instead of coming straight over here, he said. I feel bad because if I had just come straight over here, Maybe I could ve stopped whatever was going on.
Dorsey was a pastor at Holy Temple of Jesus Christ church. Neighbors say he had a huge heart and frequently helped people who were down on their luck.
I just don t have words to say why. But God knows best. That s all I can say, God knows best, said Theresa Williams, a friend.
Very strong in God. Very, said Kimberly Williams, who said the Dorseys helped raise her daughter. They brought clothes, they brought diapers, and they helped my mom.
Dorsey also owned several rental homes in the neighborhood.
The pastor s son urged Cameron Dorsey to surrender to police.
If he s watching right now, just come on in and talk to someone who s going to talk to him, said Dorsey.
Cameron Dorsey had been in jail on a charge of theft from the elderly.

answered Tuesday March 25 2008, 5:07 pm:
haha okay well it depends on where you are doing this, but ill give you some ideas and you can go along with it.
me and my friedns used to dare each other to go someones house in the neighborhood(no one you know) and knock on their door and when they open, ask to talk to their dog. and if they dont have a dog, you say im sorry for your loss and run away. corny i know, but its really embarrassing :D
another one is to dare him (depends if your at school or at your house) to go into your bathroom or the girls bathroom and put saran wrap under the toilet seat so when a girl sits down the pee drips all over their pants.
well this isnt really a dare, but more of a prank. dare him to go up to someone with a funnel, a penny, and a bottle of water. then he shows them what he wants them to do, by placing the funnel in his pants in the front, and put a penny on his nose, and he has to tell them that they have to try to get the penny into the funnel. now they will try and when they put up their heads with the penny on their nose, he pours the bottle of water down the funnel and it looks like they wet their pants. its reallllyyy funny. or you can just do it to him saying i dare you to get the penny in the funnel :D
dare him to dress up as a girl, and wear makeup and everything, and tell him to go somewhere to get you something. and even funnier, make him walk to a corner store to buy tampons and random girl stuff.
haha thats all i can think of, but have funn :D

Actor Aditya Pancholi, harried by the sudden allegations against his son in the Jiah Khan case, says Sooraj was at a five star hotel when the actress died.
"We've footage of Sooraj entering the hotel, spending time in there with his friend and leaving the hotel. Therefore the question of Sooraj's guilt just doesn't arise," said Aditya reacting to Jiah's mother Rabiya Khan's allegation that her daughter was murdered by someone very "close" to her.
Jiah, known for her role in "Nishabd", was June 3 found hanging from the ceiling at her Juhu residence. She was 25. At that time the police had reportedly termed it suicide.
According to new reports, Kalina Forensic Laboratory's latest report revealed that there was human flesh and blood lodged underneath the late actress' fingernails.
Aditya, seen in films like "Yes Boss", now intends to get a restraining order against reports naming his son in the Jiah case.
"We know what Jiah's mother is implying and why she is doing what she is doing. Sooraj is not the scared child that he was when Jiah's suicide toppled his world over," he said.
"Today, after spending 21 days in one of the toughest jails in the country and having been put under the radar for no fault of his Sooraj has grown up. It is being implied that I have pulled strings to get my son out of jail on bail. Tell me if I was so powerful why would I have allowed my son to languish in Arthur Road jail for 21 days?"
Sooraj in the meanwhile, continues to prepare for his debut in the remake of Subhash Ghai's "Hero".
"My boy is much stronger now. I am glad he learnt the bitter lessons so early in his life. This whole experience has toughened him," said Aditya.

If he killed her then why would he leave a suicide note with his own name? So that he goes to jail anyway?
So silly!
He might be innocent...
My question is why is everyone doubting Sooraj? There could be a lot of people close to Jiah. But no, her mother targets Sooraj and his family specifically. I smell conspiracy. Why target just Sooraj? Why not target other people as well? It's almost as if her mother wants to hide something so she keeps blaming Sooraj hoping that the police won't look at what she's trying to hide. First question her carefully and then if you found blood and skin match it to Sooraj's. Saare sawal aur jawab wahani band ho jayenge.
I didn't know that they found flesh and blood under her fingernails...if that is the case, then they should at least be able to figure out the DNA sequence, shouldn't they? And then be able to see if it matches Sooraj's DNA or not?
Question mother, and mother's boy friend first...Considering the fact that she was raped at age 14, it was probably someone close to her who had access to her house than...and if her mom is claiming its someone close to her, than they should question her mom and mom's boy friend first if anything..it is found, that women are usually abused and killed by people they know :P
