High school musicians upbeat about opportunities to tour, play
The San Marcos High School band has two impressive performances scheduled next year, but students need help getting to them.
The marching band's plan to play at a pre-Olympics salute in Beijing in June has been in the works for some time, director Matt Armstrong said. China's capital is hosting the 2008 Olympics in August. Students in the Mission Hills High School marching band, led by Jeff McNurlan, will join the San Marcos High band in China.
In the fall, Armstrong learned that an audition recording he submitted had qualified the San Marcos High band for a prestigious percussion festival in Indianapolis. He couldn't turn down an opportunity for students to perform for some of the country's best band directors and musicians.
"Indianapolis is a chance for us to participate in a really high-end national event that only accepts the top, top schools in the country," he said.
So band members have set their sights on going to both events.
Tomorrow night, San Marcos High's musicians will present one of two concerts they perform each school year. The school's band, jazz ensemble and choir will play holiday tunes to raise money, with some proceeds going toward the trips.
Thirteen band members will travel to Indianapolis from Feb. 27 to March 1 for the National Percussion Festival, at about $800 apiece. Armstrong said the school is organizing activities to cover much if not all of the musicians' costs.
About 30 band members, about one-third of the ensemble, are expected to go on the optional June 17-29 trip to China, which includes sightseeing. The trip will cost $3,300 for each student. Parents are expected to cover whatever the band can't collect through fundraising.
San Marcos High students have been selling gift cards, pies, candy and washing cars to earn money.
Armstrong is candid about needing help. He said he has been stressed thinking about how to pay for the trips. "We're in dire need of funds," he said.
Fraternal twins Laura and Shayna Schwartz, 16, are going on both trips. The juniors said they're excited to perform out of state in front of high-caliber judges, and can't wait to be in a different part of the world, in a country with a culture and history spanning thousands of years.
Students will be in Beijing for the International Marching Band Salute but will also tour and perform in Shanghai, a cosmopolitan city, and in Guilin, which is more rural and has scenic mountains and rivers. They will also hike a portion of the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City, the imperial palace complex.
Some students said performing in China right before the Olympics will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a story they will tell their grandchildren one day, not to mention everything else they'll be seeing, eating and hearing.
That's why Ben Mesker, 16, an alto sax player, took a job over the summer to save for the trip. He said he recently got his passport. "It'll be something I never forget," Ben said.

Veteran Carnatic musician Manakkal S.Rangarajan was awarded the title 'Sangeetha Kalasikhamani' at the inauguration of 78th South Indian Music Conference and Festival organised by the Indian Fine Arts Society here on Friday.
Violin maestro T.N. Krishnan, who inaugurated the festival, spoke on his association with the awardee that spanned several decades.
"When Mr.Rangarajan began singing, only few institutions such as The Music Academy and Tamil Isai Sangam were holding festivals. Many stalwarts, including Kumbakonam Rajamanickam Pillai and Palghat Mani Iyer, accompanied him in his concerts."
Mr.Rangarajan was a contemporary of stalwarts, including Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar and G.N.Balasubramaniam.
A cash award of Rs.1 lakh was presented to Mr.Rangarajan. The award citation gave a detailed account of his career and achievements. It said that his voice modulation was exemplary and that he was an expert in brigas.
While musician T.V. Gopalakrishnan recalled his effortless rendition of songs in concerts that ran up to six hours,
Chitravina N. Ravikiran said students of music must emulate the attitude and hard work of eminent personalities.
Vocalist T.M.Krishna emphasised the need to document the knowledge of renowned vocalists such as Mr. Rangarajan to provide a better learning experience to budding musicians.
In his presidential address, Mr.Rangarajan said he was satisfied with his musical journey that spanned nearly seven decades and described singing in the times of stalwarts such as 'GNB' and Madurai Mani Iyer as an honour.
Observing that change in classical music was necessary and inevitable, he said there should be no distortion or compromise on tradition. His tips for upcoming artists included understanding lyrics in other languages for better expression and distinct style in singing.
Senior musicians T.K.Govinda Rao, T.R.Subramaniam, musicologist S.A.K.Durga and the Society's president V.Sethuraman also spoke.
Keywords: Manakkal S. Rangarajan, Carnatic music

Inmate has short-lived freedom
July 18, 2007
A Lansing Correctional Facility inmate is back in custody after a brief escape today.
Prison officials said Mark A. Henderson escaped from the facility's Vehicle Maintenance Department, where he was assigned to work. Henderson left the prison grounds driving a facility vehicle.
A news release from the prison said the escape was confirmed at 11:08 a.m. and at 12:05 p.m., Henderson was apprehended by the Platte County, Mo., Sheriff's Department.
Henderson is serving a 10- to 40-year sentence based on Wyandotte County convictions in 1978 and 1981 for voluntary manslaughter and aggravated battery.
He had been released from prison on parole in September 2000 but was returned as a parole violator in August of 2002.
Henderson is currently in custody and is awaiting extradition back to Kansas.
For more on the escape and capture, check out The Current on Thursday.

Legal Correspondent
HYDERABAD: A Division Bench of the High Court on Wednesday directed the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) not to announce results of Group I main examination or take any such further steps regarding recruitment to these posts.
The Bench, comprising Justice J. Chalameswar and Justice M.E.N. Patrudu, was passing this order in writ petitions field by aspirants for of Group I posts. The original applications filed by these persons before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, however, were dismissed.
The contention of these aspirants is that there are additional vacancies in Group-I category as on the date of supplementary notification and the cut-off mark in the preliminary examination need not have to be 66 marks.
The Bench posted the mater to February 20, and directed the Government to submit the list of additional vacancies in the direct recruitment quota as on August 2004. The petitioners had complained that instead of filling the vacancies through direct recruitment, the Government was resorting to promotions.

Bel Canto ('beautiful singing') tradition thrives here.
La Favorite. Dialogues des Carmélites. Recitals. Conversations. Immerse yourself in opera for a day or a weekend.
Let yourself be moved.
Two operas on the collision of church and state:
La Favorite
by Gaetano Donizetti
Libretto by Alphonse Royer and Gustave Vaëz
Orchestra of St. Luke's
Will Crutchfield
Dialogues des Carmélites
by Francis Poulenc
Orchestra of St. Luke's
Will Crutchfield
Will Crutchfield, Caramoor's Director of Opera, has this to say about the 2015 operas:
As it happens, both titles treat the question of the religious life as a retreat from worldly conflicts – a topic of keen importance over the centuries in which the Catholic Church held concrete power in Europe, and when individuals from noble or politically important families often sought a church career.
In La Favorite, a young novice, Fernand, seeks release from his vows because he has fallen in love with a mysterious woman, only to find himself embroiled in a triangle with the King of Castile and his mistress Léonor, and then to learn that the Queen is none other than the daughter of his own Father Superior, to whom he returns in contrition and disappointment.
In Dialogues of the Carmelites, the very nature of religious commitment and prayer become a central topic, played out against a harrowing drama of the French Revolution. The final scene is perhaps the most moving one in all of opera, as the nuns of the condemned convent go, with voices raised in song, to their martyrdom at the guillotine.

Imagine growing up in an environment where everyone around you expects you to fail. Imagine making it to your 21st birthday, only to realize all your best friends are either behind bars or six feet deep. If you grew up in Watts, California, like rapper Jay Rock, the gang and drug infested streets are not imaginary, they are real. Knowing he has come from so far to get to where he is today, Jay Rock's not about to keep it to himself, "Where I come from man, I'm gonna keep it real: I'm the first young cat outta my projects, to get signed to a major label." On his new official single, All My Life, Rock hooks up with some cross country friends, Lil' Wayne and producers Cool & Dre to jointly bring light to a harsh reality.

Knoppix/Windows9x/NForce1 Network Controller Problem
New Linux user,long time Windows user here ( so take it slow and use small words and easy concepts when replying. :) )
I hope that someone here knows the answer to my problem.
After the first time that I got Knoppix Linux Ver.3.3 2004-2-16 to bootup and run normally from the CD-ROM everything worked fine but when I rebooted back into Windows ME the driver for the onboard network controller refused to load.Have tried everything I can think of to fix it,removed and reinstalled driver,turned network adapter off and on in the BIOS,even removed and reinstalled Windows ME (was due for reinstalling,had been running 2+ years,had to make room on hard drive for Linux installation :) )
Network adapter works fine under Linux but won't work under Windows anymore.
Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks In Advance.

Knoppix/Debian Linux (dual boot, Windows & Linux)
Re: Knoppix/Windows9x/NForce1 Network Controller Problem
Work Around Found!
I figured out how to fix the problem everytime it happens.This may not work for anyone else but here goes.
1st In the BIOS set "Advanced BIOS Features -Boot Other Device" to Enable.
2nd This is the part that may not work for anyone else as my system has 2 hard drives ,primary IDE master (Windows/Linux bootable) and slave (fat32,data,nonbootable). when Linux installed Lilo in the Master Boot Record on the bootable drive (C: , HDA ) it detected the nonbootable drive ( D: , HDB ) and made an entry in Lilo.config giving me the option of trying to boot off the nonbootable drive, when that fails it triggers the motherboard BIOS's boot on lan feature which resets the onboard ethernet adapter to default settings undoing whatever changes forcedeth is applying to the adapter allowing the Windows Drivers to load when Windows starts up.
Its kinda messy but it works.

Snake bitten dog – urgent vet used
It finally happened – my pooch got bit by a snake. Rocket is a pit bull and she spends most of her time running around our back yard with our other dogs. I was working on the computer the day she got bit, pounding away at the keyboard when Rocket came in whining a little and snuggled up under my chair – very unusual for her but I was too involved in what I was doing to notice.
My wife noticed – Rocket's face, normally very thin and sleek, was swollen almost twice the normal size. Fang marks were evident on her cheek and there looked to be a mixture of blood and maybe poison oozing from the wound. We run a kind of pseudo dog rescue, so we have our Veterinarian on speed dial. However, this happened after normal hours so we had to resort to finding an after hours urgent pet clinic. We searched the internet but the ones we found, we weren't too sure of. Then we found a site called UrgentAtlanta that specializes in finding emergency professionals to help with situations like this. They can be found at www.urgentatlanta.com so if you should come across a situation where you need immediate help, check them out. They also seem to work with local Dentists as well as Water Damage experts.
Anyway, so the vet explained that snakebites in our area are very, very rarely fatal. A copperhead bite is most common and causes a lot of pain but that's about it. We have a large fenced back yard with lots of oak trees, an old shed and a chicken coop. I've been cutting down trees and stacking the wood – I think maybe a snake took up residence and didn't care for Rocket's snooping. I've since tried to clean it up a bit but hey, the wood has to go somewhere.
So Rocket ended up on pain killers. We took her to our own vet the next day and because we're extra careful we had her stay the entire day, hooked up to IV's and other meds to make sure everything was OK. Our vet agreed with everything the emergency vet said about snakebites in our area not being a huge problem but that afterwards they had to make sure there was no infection since snakebites are notoriously dirty. We talked with them a good bit about this and it seems that spider bites and snakebites are very dirty. Neither is usually fatal, just painful, but also very dirty so it's usually a good idea to take extra precaution with the cleanliness of the wound and to follow up with some meds afterwards to ensure there's no infection. It was news to us but the Vet said it like it was basic common sense.
After the first day in the Vet clinic, Rocket was feeling better but we took her back for the next two days – so all in all she stayed three days which was probably very much overkill on our part but hey, like I said, we're very careful with our buddies-we wanted to make sure she was OK and today she's back to running around the yard with the other pooches although I do believe she's a bit more careful about nosing around the woodpile.
Do or die – rules of web design
May 4th, 2015
The 10 Do-Or-Die Rules of Web Design
1. Always KISS
The saying goes "Keep It Simple, Stupid." The biggest mistake is to overload a site, especially on its index page. Be clear and concise. As an example look to the world's most successful sites such as Google or Facebook. You only have a few second to engage the visitor. Make the most of it.
2. Be "Übersichtlich"
Yeah, you don't have to try to pronounce it. It's a German word that basically means for something to be easily understood by looking at it once. You know what you are looking for right away and know where you need to go at a glance. Now apply this concept to web design. Got it? Good. It doesn't take an Übermensch to be übersichtlich.
3. Content is King
No matter how simple your site is, it still needs content. Even if you have a basic product to sell, try to give your visitors something to read and look at. A regular flow of articles and posts will also help you in search engine ranking, and videos, free stuff to download and other things will keep visitors busy and interested.
4. Intuitive Navigation
This goes hand-in-hand with point 2. When a visitor hits your site he doesn't want to have to learn how to use it. With more content it may be better to group links into categories. There is the unwritten three-click-rule that says that a visitor should not need more than three clicks to get to what he is looking for. Of course, this doesn't always work, especially with larger sites. But you get the point. A more complex service site could use How-To and Help pages, maybe even instructional videos. People love to watch videos.
5. You Shall not Irritate Your Visitors
Go easy with what you throw at the visitor. Don't overwhelm them with colors and contrasts, images and texts. There is a big overuse of stock images and jargon. Try to avoid making the visitor feel dumb and out of place. Remember points 1. and 2. in this regard.
6. Be Perfect
Nobody is perfect, but your site should try to be. That means always check for errors and dead links or missing images. This is particularly important for catalogs. Spelling and lingo should also be as good as can be. This also connects with point 10.
7. It's All About The Google
They don't call it the Googlenet yet, but we're getting there. Google has established the net's search criteria and is now the Big Guy on the playground. Your site needs to obey the rules. Your site has to fit with the prevalent SEO standards so it can rank well in search results. Once you are up to par with Google you will also fit in well with the other search engines, such as Bing and Yahoo.
8. Be Social: Go Hug A Customer
Connect with social media sites. Facebook, Twitter and so on. You depend on the visitors to share and pass on your information and services. Also, keep in touch with your clients and prospective customers. Answer questions and be awesome. People always come back to those that were nice to them, and social media is a great way to be a Nice Guy.
9. Be Mobile
Make your site responsive, meaning it automatically adapts itself to browser-window sizes. This means then that your page is accessible from phones and tablets. The future of the internet lies in mobility: anywhere, anytime, anyplace. Make sure your site is up for that.
10. No Rest For The Webmaster
Your site is never finished. Always keep updating it, checking your stats, changing things, adding new things. A web site is like a store: you can't just open the doors and hope the customers walk in and leave you money. You need to update your inventory, clean it out, give it a new paint-job if its getting worn, keep in touch with clients and keep your codes up-to-date.
And, as always, for further research be sure to check out Wikipedia and it's associated links.

Toyota planning electric car and smaller plug-in hybrid for sale in America next year
The Fun-Vii stands for "Fun Vehicle interactive internet." The only image released so far shows a man with pictures of a car on his mobile phone, presumably projecting the image onto the side of the car.
Toyota's concept cars usually get the prefix FT, which stands for future Toyota, but the FT-EV III concept will be on sale next year, albeit with a different name
Planned to be in showrooms in 2015, the FCV-R stands for "Fuel Cell Vehicle - Reality & Revolution"
The Aqua plug-in hybrid is slightly smaller than the Prius but will be very aggressively priced when it goes on sale in Japan before the end of this year
From top left, the Aqua, FT-EV III, FCV-R and Fun-Vii
The layout of the electric iQ as shown in Geneva earlier this year, plus the existing gas-powered iQ.
The two plug-in electric hybrids to be shown in Tokyo - the Prius at left, and the Aqua at right.
The Toyota Prius C is due in American showrooms in Spring 2012 and delivers in excess of 50 mpg around town
The Prius C contains a raft of premium in-car electronics, in a five-door configuration: Bluetooth® hands-free phone connectivity, steering-wheel audio controls, and nine airbags will be among the standard features
The world's largest automaker has been slow off the mark in the race to bring electric vehicles to market, but it is now playing catch up at a fearsome rate, and we'll see the first of its new range of electric vehicles two weeks from now at the Tokyo Motor Show. The first Toyota EV (top right) will be a four-seater based on the iQ with a range of 65 miles (100 km) and it will hit showrooms next year. It is one of several new cars set to be shown, including a smaller, cheaper plug-in hybrid named the Aqua (top left - on sale in Japan THIS year), a plug-in version of the Prius hybrid and a hydrogen fuel cell midsize sedan (bottom left) to go on sale in 2015. The most intriguing of its Tokyo exhibits is the (bottom right) Fun-Vii concept "where people, cars and society are linked". All we know is that the two "i"s stand for interactive and internet. As many details as are known inside.

Your own private Harlem hideaway. A quiet dreamy oasis for your busy New York trip. Enjoy life in an 1895 brownstone in one of the city's most charming historic neighborhoods.
Enter from the front stoop through the ornate carved wood entry arch and you will feel like you have just stepped back 100 years in time. All original oak details which show the charm of gently worn history. Go straight ahead up the carpeted stairs to the top floor to your own private huge room.
The Guest Room is located on the top (3rd) floor of the building. There are no other bedrooms on that floor. It is the only unit rented as a room, rather than a separate apartment. However, many guests prefer this room over the others, as it has its own attributes which makes it special. Its charming retro feel will definitely make your stay in New York special.
The Guest Room is entered by a separate private entrance from the main hall. It is large (18'X18') and has 3 south-facing windows which have their own original shutters for privacy or to darken the room. It faces the street down below and a clear view of the sky and treetops straight ahead.
Although the Guest Room does not have a formal kitchen, it does have a small refrigerator/freezer, toaster oven, microwave, and coffee maker, along with cups glass, dishes and utensils. These are all neatly hidden in the large armoire between the decorative fireplace and the closet.
The Guest Room has a high definition LED flat screen TV and wifi, as well as a radio/iPod player with an equipped iPod with a Harlem Hideaway playlist of blues and jazz. The queen size bed has a memory foam mattress. It has an antique desk and dresser, a bookcase with unique books and two relaxing woven chairs next to the vertical magazine rack containing vintage magazines and comics. It has an adjustable ceiling fan and lights with dimmer switches. During the summer it has an air conditioning unit.
The graffiti wall is the entire west wall. It contains thousands of signatures of bygone friends and guests (some very famous). A marking pen awaits your own addition to the wall.
The all white bathroom is five steps down the private internal hall. It is not shared and is dedicated only to the guests in the Guest Room. It has a skylight and claw foot tub and fan. The lights even dim to suit your mood. A hairdryer and outlet is provided, as well as a magnifying mirror and special gifts in the medicine cabinet for the ladies. Monogrammed bathrobes, soap and shampoo are also provided.
You also now have access to the beautiful shared backyard.
For an additional $25/night you have total access to the outside terrace on the same floor. You are up in the trees and it is a peaceful and relaxing way to have a cup of coffee, glass of wine, or eat a meal.
Harlem Hideaway has two other options you may want to consider as well: Harlem Hideaway Parlor Apartment sleeps 3 (Home Away # 982545). Harlem Hideaway Studio Apartment sleeps two (Home Away #982538). Garden Apartment (Home Away 3634519). All are full apartments, not guest rooms.
An enthusiastic New York and Harlem resident, always ready to give the inside scoop and recommendations on Harlem or NYC. Very involved in the neighborhood. A product, landscape and interior designer with numerous awards and items in national museums. In fact, the building has also been published in several magazines.
A world traveller, as I flew for Pan Am for over 7 years.
Dennis Decker purchased this studio in 2000
Harlem is the soul of New York City. It is not just about the incredible architecture. This is the friendliest neighborhood I have ever lived in- the best area in Harlem.
The quiet friendly tree-lined street, proximity to express subway- only 4 stops to Times Square, closeness to neighborhood coffee shop and historic park, as well as the 125 St. corridor and Central Park.
I actually love sitting on the front stoop while having a coffee or a glass of wine. I love seeing the relaxed street life going by, and being a part of it. Since my block is dominated by private brownstones, rather than apartment buildings, it has a friendlier, small town feeling than most other neighborhoods.
Thank you for making our stay in this magical city even more special with your Harlem Hideaway. We really enjoyed every minute in this amazing room and appreciated your help and generosity.
We hope to be back very soon!
We really loved the property and Dennis. He was so very gracious and helpful. The room was gorgeous, the bed very comfortable and there was lots of room for all of our belongings. This would have been 5-star if the bathroom was attached. The area was great, we were close to the subway, and lots of cool restaurants right within walking distance. We highly recommend this and would definately return!
We loved our time in Harlem and staying at the Harlem Hideaway helped make that so. Dennis was an ever gracious host suggesting many local eateries and attractions, which we enjoyed. We highly recommend that folks visit the Studio Museum of Harlem, which we found more interesting than MOMA. We relished all the exhibits, but especially Kianja Strobert - Of This Day In Time. Go see it if you can.
And it was so close to everything! Including a subway stop that made it easy to jump downtown or to get to Penn Station.
The room was exactly as described and spotlessly clean. The bed, pillows and linens were extremely comfortable. Dennis has a great flair for design, which is enviable.
We were able to stash our luggage after check-out time, which was deeply appreciated as well as the use of huge umbrellas during the monsoon rain on the last day of our stay.
We are already telling our friends about the place and can't wait to go back!
Having booked via the internet we were always going to be apprehensive about what the place and area were really like having been dissapointed more then once previously.
Well I have to say we were pleasantly surprised that it met and exceeded our expectations and we felt within a day that we had bought our own piece of New York for the duration of our stay.
The room was large and private, and had all the comforts we needed including our own private bathroom down the hall. Dennis was a fantastic host and made sure we got off to a perfect start answering all our questions and pointing us in the right direction to the subway and various hotspots.
When we came home every night it was like our own little apartment and we loved that feeling. Definitely reccomend and Harlem was extremely safe and we had no issues whatsoever. Also very convenient to the subway which was two minutes away and took us anywhere we neded to go.
Highly reccommend and cant wait to get back again.

Un excelente sitio en el que alojarse. Máxima comodidad y trato excelente. Situado en el barrio de Harlem con una muy buena combinación en metro hacia el centro. Dennis es un excelente amfitrión que te ayudarà en cualquier cosa que puedas necesitar. Sin duda, una muy buena opción para alojarse en nueva york.
Harlem Hideaway was perfect for an ex New Yorker to be reacquainted with the city. Dennis was an excellent host, providing many details about the apartment and the neighborhood.
The apartment was very clean, quiet and Dennis was always available to answer any questions. It was a wonderful experience and I would gladly recommend my friends to visit the Hideaway.
Harlem Hideaway was a great apartment, the photos are a true reflection of the place and it was clean, tidy and stylish. Dennis was helpful and happy to tell us about the neighbourhood providing us with a great food and drink guide and other useful tips. Would definitely like to stay here again.
The Harlem Hideaway is on West 119th Street in Harlem, New York City. Marcus Garvey Park is just over a block away, with a public swimming pool, and the famed Central Park is only 9 blocks south of this rental. There is a grocery store and laundromat within 2 blocks, and the nearby Lenox Avenue offers a variety of restaurants and convenience stores. Also on Lenox Avenue, you will find the Lenox Lounge where you can enjoy jazz music, and the Red Rooster Restaurant, staples of Harlem. The West 125th Street shopping corridor includes major stores, such as H & M and Marshall's, and on Frederick Douglass Avenue you will find restaurant row.
Public transportation is convenient with the 2/3 subway station just over 3 blocks away, offering both express and local train service. The A/B/C line is also nearby, about 4 blocks away

DVD drive goes missing

Posted June 27, 2011 at 12:52PM
Could really do with some help on this one. The problem is a Toshiba L300 149 laptop,running Vista SP2, belonging to a relative. Fault described to me was the main ID (also administrator) was full of virus and would not operate at all and on the guest ID the DVD drive was not working.
Cleared all the virus, main one was "HDDiagnostic" so main ID now working. Now to the DVD, when booted up the Drive is shown in device manager and also in Computer, but as soon as the tray is opened the drive disappears from the system so not working.
Googled the problem and a solution was remove Upper/Lower filters from registry, this did not improve matters. Tried safe mode, same thing happened. I have a Puppy Linux Live Cd that boots and loads linux into RAM. It worked on boot up into linux and the dvd was showing but again when the tray was opened it disappears.
I am now lost as it seems Vista is not the problem as the fault is in linux as well, has anyone got any ideas?

You may have a ROOT virus, which normal virus checker will miss, try a program like ADAWARE or SPYBOT to remove this.
A root virus lives in the first 255 bytes of the harddrive which is reserved for system boot up files, and so most virus checkers leave it alone.
You may need to reload the drivers for the laptop.

I have made a reservation for 3 nights and paid a deposit online. When i arrived to the hostel i was told that the dorm room was full and got told that the only option was a single room which i took. Then the staff told me that i had to pay the full price for the single room and that my deposit that i paid online, about 5 euros, will not be returned as i changed the room - from dorm, which was full, to single..... I would not recommend this hostel!!! Mrs.lee therese

The creature that ate your pension
If you ask the typical federal/postal worker what his or her greatest job-related fear was, many would answer they are afraid Congress will change their retirement rules and base their benefits on their highest five-year average salary. Yet the likelihood of losing the current high-three system is small compared to other, more real threats, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.

House OKs bill increasing feds' retirement contributions
The GOP-controlled House passed legislation Thursday requiring federal workers to contribute more toward their retirement. The Sequester Replacement Act of 2012 proposed gradually increasing federal employees' pension contributions by 5 percent over five years as an alternative to sequestration.

Pray for political inertia
What if we elected a Congress that fought all the time, couldn't agree on anything and where Democrats could hardly stand to be in the same building as Republicans, and vice versa? Well, fortunately, for federal workers we may have done that, and it could save you from taking a major pay cut over the next five years, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.

Federal pension hike advances as part of House alternative to automatic cuts
A plan to avoid automatic cuts to discretionary federal spending, including the Defense Department's, advanced in the House, passing the budget committee and heading to the House floor for a vote later this week. Among the $300 billion in alternative cuts approved by the committee, in a 21-9 party-line vote, is a provision requiring federal employees to pay more for their retirement benefits.

Proposed cybersecurity funding less than DHS asked for
The Department of Homeland Security would receive 63 percent more money in fiscal 2013 under the bill. That would add roughly $300 million more dollars to the cyber budget, which is just $20 million shy of the agency's request.

Blood Tests
Posted 26 March 2011 - 04:32 PM
I've posted before - my teenage son had a positive blood test but negative biopsy.
I was reading on another thread that false positive blood tests are extremely rare? My GP said that the blood tests were not terribly reliable, although one of the consultants later said they had a high rate of reliability!!!! I am confused - also my son had a second blood test at the hospital before his biopsy and that was negative - has anyone else experienced this and is there any reason why this should happen? (he was still eating heaps of gluten before the second blood test and biopsy).
I also feel annoyed that I couldn't go to hospital with him as my daughter was ill - his father accompanied him - I had wanted to ask how many samples they would take for biopsy - it turns out they took three!
Thanks in advance - you have all been very helpful and supportive!

It all depends what blood testing they did the second time. Perhaps they only did the TtG. Some people test positive on some celiac tests and negative on others; this is why they should do a celiac panel. Can you get copies of his test results (blood and biopsy) and post them here on the forum. This would help us understand what is going on perhaps.
Thank you Mushroom - I've not seen any results for the blood tests, we were just told verbally, but I will ask the GP for a copy. I did get the biopsy result which said no sign of coeliac disease, villus architecture in tact etc. The endoscopy showed patches of Duodenitis.

i would advise to ALWAYS request copies of all results- in my experience-> 90% of the time- they neglect to tell me something important, or they dont examine the results to fully understand or diagnose.

So, all you super awesome authors out there need to start a new trend! Adobe Encore apparently allows you to create Photoshop Layers, Premier Video, etc. that can be brought in to create some super amazing DVD Menus.
I'm going to start doing a lot of this work myself, but it'd be totally boss to see some Envato Authors start taking this to a whole new level!
Please consider it! Thanks
If we are talking about new trends….I'm also looking for Adobe Premiere plugins, for instance Automatic Color Correction, Automatic White Balance, Automatic Sound Equalizer, things like these….Lately I noticed on videohive a lot of stock footage, but tools like the ones mentioned really help video editors in their work and there aren't so many.
I know there are some addons for After Effects on videohive, but I know a group of people who are really looking for add-ons for Adobe Premiere instead!
Yeah! I was walking around but it seems there's no way to get an Encore Template in the Envato universe…
Please guys consider this new category!

Woods given 2-shot penalty at BMW Championship
More News from Associated Press
LAKE FOREST, Illinois — Tiger Woods was involved in another rules violation at the BMW Championship on Friday and was given a two-shot penalty.
Woods began the second round with a double bogey from behind the green. Slugger White, the PGA Tour's vice president of competition, says the tour was notified that the ball moved as Woods was removing twigs from behind it.
White says video indicated the ball moved, although he says Woods was adamant that it only oscillated. White says the video was clear evidence, and Woods was given two more shots. That made it a quadruple-bogey 8 on the first hole, and turned his 70 into a 72.
Woods was at 4-under 138, seven shots off the lead.
The two-shot penalty means he is paired with Sergio Garcia for the third round. Garcia got into a verbal battle with Woods at The Players Championship this year that ended badly when the Spaniard jokingly said he would have Woods over for dinner at the U.S. Open and serve him fried chicken.
They have not played together since that dispute.
At the Masters this year, Woods was tied for the lead late in the second round when his wedge to the par-5 15th hole hit the flag and rebounded into the water. He dropped a yard or so behind his original position to avoid hitting the flag and escaped with bogey. Only later was it discovered that he took the wrong drop option and should have been penalized two shots.
While the incident at the Masters was brought to organizers' attention by a television viewer, this time it was a cameraman working for the tour. An editor at headquarters going over the footage thought there was movement of the ball and notified the PGA Tour.
The film was sent over to tour officials on site at Conway Farms, and it was reviewed at the tournament before bringing in Woods for consultation.
The movement was slight, though it appears to have moved down when Woods touches a small branch to the right of the golf ball, and it doesn't appear to return to its original position. White said Woods could not have seen that from his position looking down at the top of the ball.
Even after looking at the video, Woods wasn't convinced the ball moved from its position.
"He knew there was movement there, but it's like (he) was very adamant that it oscillated — it stayed there," White said. "But this video was at the site, and the ball did in fact move."
Asked to describe Woods' reaction, White said, "He was a little disbelieving. How's that?'"
It was the third time this year Woods was given a two-shot penalty for a rules violation. At his first event of the season in Abu Dhabi, he took relief from an imbedded lie in a sandy area covered with vines. It was determined that relief was not allowed in the sand. He was docked two shots before signing his card, and it caused him to miss the cut.

An MOU would affirm ANSI's responsibility and improve its ability to represent U.S. interests in international, nontreaty standards-setting bodies. Although the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 recognizes that U.S. representation in international standardization should be by the private U.S. member of the relevant organization, it does not specify mechanisms for government cooperation with ANSI and U.S. industry in preparing U.S. positions for international standards activities.105
An MOU would also be an appropriate vehicle for addressing a frequent source of tension in public–private standards cooperation. This source is the low level of government financial support for voluntary standards organizations, including ANSI. Government agencies make significant contributions to voluntary standardization, as shown by the previously discussed data on NIST staff participation in outside standards committees. ANSI incurs significant expenses, however, in providing the administrative overhead for coordinating the U.S. voluntary standards system. ANSI dues to ISO and IEC are a particularly large expense.
Government participation and use of the system implies a responsibility to pay a share of the overhead expenses associated with the system. Among federal agencies, however, only the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, and Veterans Affairs, along with NIST, the U.S. Geological Survey, FCC, FDA, GSA, the NASA, and the National Archives are dues-paying members of ANSI. EPA, CPSC, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Labor, and Transportation are among prominent government standards developers that are not ANSI members.106 Although membership dues represent 23 percent of ANSI gross revenues (including publications sales), U.S. government dues are less than half of 1 percent of ANSI revenues.107
Cooperation and understanding between the private standards system and the federal government appear to be improving. A formal MOU clearly would not create understanding where none exists. It would, however, create a formal framework for continuation of cooperation in the future. This framework would prove valuable as circumstances change, new issues emerge, and informal working relationships among individuals in each sector are replaced through changeover of key personnel.
The U.S. system for developing formal product and process standards is complex and diverse. It incorporates, for example, cooperative efforts by technical experts to write voluntary standards on a consensus basis. These activities generally take place in the context of consensus-based standards-developing organizations, according to guidelines for due process and open participation of interested parties. Many standards developers are accredited by the American National Standards Institute, a private, nonprofit federation of business, government,

NPR's business news starts with slower growth in East Asia.
INSKEEP: That prediction comes from a World Bank report released today. The bank warns of a deeper and longer slowdown in the region caused by weak exports and weak domestic demand.
At the center of all this is a greater than slowing of the Chinese economy. The bank cut its annual growth prediction for China to 7.7 percent, which is down about half a point. Though next year, they expect China's economy to rebound a bit, helped by government stimulus measures. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.
