Campaign vs 'epal' posters going nationwide
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on Thursday said it will tear down all illegally placed election materials throughout the country.
Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson has ordered all DPWH officials nationwide "to remove and tear down all unlawful election materials posted in areas which are not official Comelec (Commission on Elections) designated posting areas," the DPWH said in a statement.
Singson also ordered the banning and removal of election propaganda materials posted alongside or in all ongoing or recently completed DPWH projects.
"This is our way of supporting the 'anti-epal' campaign, or the citizens' call on politicians not to use government projects as accessory resources to drumbeat their accomplishments at the expense of taxpayers' money," said Singson.
Singson said election propaganda materials posted on bridge approaches, road and bridge railings, road signage, chevrons, crib walls, ripraps and in other similar public structures within road right-of-way limits will also be removed.
"These unlawful materials pose danger to motorists because the road safety signages or structures are peppered with these propaganda election materials. Oftentimes, the traffic directional signs cannot be read legibly by the motorists," added Singson.
He said the agency will protect government property from being used as accessory resources of any candidate regardless of party affiliation or groups wanting to have name recall through self-serving public displays of their propaganda materials on projects funded by taxpayers' money.
He instructed DPWH fieldmen to document and report or coordinate with local Comelec offices prior to the removal of materials to ensure compliance with campaign rules.
In Davao City, Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte criticized an antipolitical dynasty group for zeroing in on local politicians in their campaign against dynasties and sparing national figures, including President Aquino.
Duterte said the disqualification case filed against him and several other members of local political clans by the group Anti-Political Dynasty Movement smacked of double standard.
"Why not include Noynoy (President Aquino's nickname)?" said Duterte.
Speaking at the Philippine Councilors' League convention in Davao City last week, Duterte said: "Why only us? Why not include Noynoy?" President Aquino belongs to a family long entrenched in Philippine politics. With a report by Germelina Lacorte, Inquirer Mindanao

Goodbye touchscreen? XWave brainwave interface for iDevices unveiled
The XWave app
XWave is an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad compatible device that detects brainwaves
The XWave headset
Article Summary
Until humans evolve huge brains like the Talosians, it seems we'll have to rely on electronic headwear to allow us to control devices with our brainwaves – electronic headwear like the XWave from California-based company PLX Devices. The XWave is the first brainwave interface accessory for the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad that is worn over the head like a pair of headphones. Unfortunately, the device won't allow you to scroll through playlists or select a contact to call with the power of your mind. Rather, like the Star Wars Force Trainer, it detects your attention and meditation levels for use in games and getting the old gray matter into shape.

Bargur: SAI-Kerala State Electricity Board (Thiruvananthapuram) battled hard from the brink of defeat to fashion a 23-25, 30-32, 25-11, 25-19, 17-15 win over Western Railway (Mumbai) for the women's title in the 12th National league volleyball championship at the GGHSS courts here on Sunday night.
It was expected to be a virtual cakewalk for fancied KSEB at the start. But Western Railway took the crowd by surprise by clinching the first two sets. It was not easy though. The Railway women were made to sweat for every point.
Just when the cup of joy seemed to be slipping from KSEB's hands, the Kerala women, particularly Gisha Thomas, Aswani S. Kumar and Vincy George, raised their tempo and were on a roll. The Railway women tried all combinations but KSEB could not be stopped.
After losing the third, Western Railway was unable to wake up from its lethargy. KSEB capitalised on the opportunity to sweep the fourth to level set scores at two-all.
Brilliant rally
In the decider, KSEB jumped to an 8-1 lead but Western Railway was not willing to throw in the towel. It rallied brilliantly to level scores, and as the game wore on even marched to a 14-12 lead. The pressure was beginning to tell on both teams. At this juncture, Western Railway erred and KSEB celebrated.
Later in the day, Southern Railway (Chennai) men struggled a bit before defeating Indian Navy (Kochi) 25-23, 18-25, 25-22, 26-24 to wrest the second spot.
The results: Men: S. Rly (Chn) bt Indian Navy (Kochi) 25-23, 18-25, 25-22, 26-24.
Women: KSEB (Tvm) bt W. Rly (Mumbai) 23-25, 30-32, 25-12, 25-19, 17-15.
Final standings: Men: 1. IOB (Chn), 2. S. Rly, 3. Indian Navy, 4. BPCL (Kochi), 5. Indian Bank (Chn), 6. KSEB (Tvm).
Women: 1. KSEB (Tvm), 2. W. Rly (Mumbai), 3. C. Rly (Mumbai), 4. E. Rly (Kolkata).

Tiny Prints is a custom photo card service that will help you create the perfect picture card for any occasion. This photo card service receives our Top Ten Reviews Gold Award because of its extensive feature set and stunning designs. We were impressed with how gorgeous and creative many of the design templates are, along with their professional appearance. In addition, there is an extensive toolset to help you design a card and order it with ease.
The best photo cards start with companies that care about quality. Quality is evident in every aspect of Tiny Prints, from the template designs to the paper quality to the photo reproduction. The templates are noticeably stylish and gorgeous, especially when compared with other photo card printing services, and there are plenty of them in a slew every categories.
Perhaps the best evidence of how much the entire company is committed to exquisite design is the Tiny Prints blog, which offers advice on hosting great events, not just the invites that precede them. There are even collections curated by big names in style. The Nordstrom collection of Tiny Prints stationery offers stylish photo cards of many types – from holiday cards to thank you cards.
This service can send you envelopes first, ahead of cards, so you can address them and be ready to just put the card in the envelope, seal it and send it. You have the option of using a delivery service as well, which means Tiny Prints staffers will address, seal and mail your cards for you, once you establish an address list as part of your account. It costs more, but having the mailing option is very nice, especially during busy holiday times.
Tiny Prints also offers a wide selection of envelopes and liners for added class and character. This service even offers a nice selection of trims for each of its cards. For a small added fee you can add scalloped edges and other details to make your design memorable. There are also lots of template options with foil accents, which offers an extra bit of modern flair.
Holiday photo card template selection is especially impressive when you explore the Tiny Prints website, in terms of quality and quantity. There are photo card sites with more designs, but none have the consistent quality of Tiny Prints. There are Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid, Diwali, Halloween, Rosh Hashanah, Easter, Chinese New Year and many other cards. The templates are modern and attractive
Non-holiday selection also is impressive. There are cards that can be personalized with a photo for new address announcements, thank you, graduations, birthday invitations and much more.
Making a card your own with Tiny Prints is fun and easy. The interface takes you through a series of filters until you find a template you like, you drag and drop your photos where you want them and substitute your own text for the template text. You enter in the information for your card and Tiny Prints places it on the digital version of your photo card. However, if you want to completely customize your own photo card, the site can be frustrating to use. You are a little more locked into the templates than you are with other services, which let you delete text boxes and other features with ease.
If you want to stick closely to the already-gorgeous templates, you'll have no problems using Tiny Prints. One of our favorite customization features this service offers is the text color tool. Once you've entered your information, you can click anywhere in your text and you'll have several options for fonts and colors. The service does not offer unlimited colors, which is probably a good thing for many amateur card designers. It only offers colors that would look nice on the design of your card.
Tiny Prints' customer support is excellent. There are plenty of resources, including phone, email and online chat representatives who are friendly and knowledgeable. The company also guarantees your satisfaction. If you don't like your photo cards, Tiny Prints will reprint them at its own expense, unless it is your typo.
The best online photo cards services offer decent competition, but Tiny Prints comes out on top for its wide selection of gorgeous designs. The finished, printed cards are no less impressive and the pricing is reasonable for what you get. Tiny Prints is easy to use and you will be thrilled with the results.
Tiny Prints has the most attractive design templates in the industry.
The templates don't allow for much customization.
The designs and options are truly impressive and the final printed card is of exceptional quality.

Made in America: U.S. taxpayers can immediately take a 3% tax deduction for U.S.-based business activities.
* IRC section 199 provides a permanent and recurring deduction equal to 3% to 9% of the lesser of qualified production activities or taxable income, which cannot exceed 50% of W-2 wages paid. The deduction applies to activities related to installing, developing, improving or creating goods that are "manufactured, produced, grown or extracted by the taxpayer in whole or in significant part within the United States."
* The deduction is being phased in between tax years 2005 and 2010.
* IRS notice 2005-14 provides guidance on the deduction and temporary regulations; taxpayers may rely on either of these sources until final regulations are issued.
* The deduction is available to individuals, trusts and estates, partnerships and other pass-through entities such as S corporations and limited liability companies who provide certain services, or legally manufacture or retail products in the United States.
* For purposes of the qualified production activities (QPA) deduction, all members of an expanded affiliated group (EAG) are treated as a single corporation.
* In allocating and apportioning expenses, CPAs must specifically identify the costs attributable to domestic receipts. If that's not possible, they can use any reasonable method for allocation.
* Most taxpayers that have qualifying domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR) can apply the QPA deduction for the purposes of both regular and alternative minimum tax.
Rizvana Zameeruddin, CPA, JD, LLM, is an assistant professor of accountancy at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha. Her e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Despite its complexity, IRC section 199 provides significant land immediate tax relief to many U.S. taxpayers. Section 199 is a tax deduction equal to 3% of net income. Due to a broad interpretation of what constitutes "manufacturing," if your clients are in the manufacturing, retail or certain service industries, they may be entitled to take advantage of the qualified production activities (QPA) tax deduction.
IRC section 199 was enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 to help grow U.S. manufacturing jobs. The IRC section 199 qualified production activities deduction replaces IRC section 114, extraterritorial income (ETI) exclusion. This article gives CPAs guidance on how to calculate the QPA deduction and outlines areas that may be relevant or troublesome for their clients. Until final regulations have been issued, CPAs may rely on either IRS notice 2004-15, or the temporary regulations for further guidance.
The qualified production activities (QPA) deduction is available to individuals, trusts and estates, partnerships and other pass-through entities such as S corporations and limited liability companies who provide certain services, or legally manufacture or retail products in the United States. For pass-through entities, the QPA deduction's rules are applied at the shareholder or partner level, and for affiliated groups, the test is determined at the corporate-entity level. The deduction is claimed on IRS form 8903; CPAs should review form 8903, consolidated roll-ups and schedule K-1 before preparing the client's tax return.
Unlike the extraterritorial income (ETI) deduction, the qualified production activities (QPA) deduction does not mandate that taxpayers export their product to qualify. Many products and services produced and performed in the United States qualify for the QPA deduction, including film, sound recordings, construction, engineering services, architectural services and computer software.
In order to obtain the qualified production activities (QPA) deduction benefit, taxpayers must satisfy the threshold definition of qualified production activities income (QPAI). If a taxpayer has a current-year net operating loss (NOL) determined after NOL carryovers, the deduction is not allowed, and an ordering rule prevents the QPA deduction from creating or increasing an NOL.
Depending on the nature of your client's business, computing the deduction can be either very straightforward or extremely involved. To accurately calculate the deduction, CPAs must look closely at the qualified production activities income (QPAI) and the limitations. The deduction percentage is 3% for tax years 2005 to 2006. The deduction increases to 6% for tax years 2007 to 2009, and maximizes at 9% for tax year 2010 and after.
The deduction is calculated by taking the lesser of the taxpayer's QPAI or taxable income, multiplying it by the phased-in deduction percentage, which ranges from 3% to 9%, and then applying the W-2 wage cap, which is 50% of wages paid. QPAI is determined by reducing the domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR) by the cost of goods sold allocable to DPGR, other deductions and expenses directly allocable to DPGR, and a ratable portion of other expenses indirectly allocable to DPGR. For purposes of applying the W-2 wage limitation, an owner's share of allocated QPAI also is treated as the owner's share of W-2 wages from the pass-through entity The following chart provides the maximum qualified production activities (QPA) deduction percentage permitted between tax years 2005 and 2010.
Corporate tax Tax year Deduction rate 2005-2006 3% 33.95% 2007-2009 6% 32.90% 2010 and after 9% 31.85%
Activities such as packaging, repackaging, labeling and minor assembly operations do not qualify as domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR). A safe-harbor rule permits taxpayers to allocate all gross receipts as domestically produced if less than 5% of those receipts are non-domestically produced. In the ordinary course of a taxpayer's business, embedded services generally qualify as DPGR, provided they are not bargained for or offered to the customer separately from the qualified production property (QPP). There are five exceptions to this rule identified in the temporary regulations: qualified warranties, qualified deliveries, qualified operating manuals (may not be provided in conjunction with a customer training course), qualified installations (including assembly) and de minimis amount of 5% received from embedded services. Since keeping track of DPGR and related expenses can be cumbersome, CPAs should help their clients by designing and implementing an accounting system that helps to make these tasks easier.
Example. Park Co. manufactures copy machines. It offers customers training but invoices them a single fee for the machines and training. Park Co. must allocate the receipts and costs between the equipment and the training services. If gross receipts from the training are less than 5% of the gross receipts for the equipment, the services qualify as domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR) under the de minimis rule.
Qualified production property (QPP) includes any tangible personal property, certain sound recordings and computer software, including software that is an integral part of other property, copiers, printers and accounting machines. Software does not include Internet access, online services or technical support.
Example. If a musician produces a sound recording on a purchased CD, which is tangible personal property, then the sound recording itself is treated as tangible personal property. If the musician then sells a duplicated CD, the gross receipts from the sale are domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR).
Under section 199, goods that are manufactured, produced, grown or extracted (MPGE) in the United States are included in the calculation for the QPA deduction. Section 199 broadly defines MPGE activities as those relating to installing, developing, improving and creating qualified production property. Making qualified production property (QPP) out of scrap material, changing the form of an article or combining or assembling two or more articles also constitutes "manufacturing." If an activity is manufactured under section 199, it is a qualified production activity and can therefore be included in the calculation for the qualified production activity (QPA) deduction. Certain farming activities also may qualify as MPGE; however, resale and repair activities generally do not qualify.
Example. Madison Co. manufactures farm equipment, which is qualified production property in the United States, and sells it to Lane Co., an unrelated party Lane leases the farm equipment for two years to Mayfair Co., an unrelated party to both Madison and Lane. Madison then repurchases the farm equipment from Lane, and Mayfair remains the tenant until the end of the lease. At lease end Mayfair purchases the farm equipment from Madison. Madison's proceeds derived from the sale of the farm equipment to Lane, from the lease to Mayfair and the sale to Mayfair all qualify as DPGR.
To take the deduction, taxpayers should maintain the benefits and burdens of qualified production property ownership while the goods are manufactured, produced, grown or extracted. Section 199 specifically states that property manufactured for the federal government qualifies for the deduction while income generated from the disposition of land does not. Corporations claiming the deduction for income of a subsidiary must own more than 50% of the subsidiary. Only one taxpayer may claim the deduction for any one QPP. This rule is inconsistent with IRC section 263A rules, where more than one taxpayer may be considered a producer.
Example. Park Co. enters into a contract with Lane Co. to manufacture a printing press, which is qualified production property. Park maintains control over the manufacturing process, while Lane has the benefits and burdens of the printing press manufacturing process. Only Lane is considered a producer for IRC section 199 purposes, though both companies are considered producers under section 263A. As a producer for section 199 purposes, Lane may include the cost of the printing press in its calculation of its qualified production activities deduction.
Section 199 permits a deduction for items manufactured in whole or in significant part. In identifying whether to treat an item as manufactured in whole or in significant part, one of two tests must be met. The first is the "substantial in nature" test. To meet its requirements the taxpayer's activity must add relative value to the product. The value added must be substantial in nature, based on the nature of the product and the taxpayer's manufactured, produced, grown or extracted (MPGE) activity.
Example. Lexington Co. purchases fur to produce coats in the United States. Lexington measures, cuts, stitches and lines the fur and combines the finished materials. The raw material costs are greater than 80% of the finished product. The nature of the product and Lexington's activities are substantial in nature.
The second test is a safe harbor "20% conversion costs" test. If the taxpayer's conversion costs, which consist of direct labor and factory burden, are at least 20% of the total cost of the property, they are deemed to be substantial under this test.
Example. Broadway Co. manufactures radar detectors at a total cost of $200 per unit. Broadway purchases electronic component parts from a foreign supplier for $120 per unit. Raw materials cost $40 and conversion costs $40 (labor and factory burden). Broadway satisfies the 20% conversion cost test.
Components $120 Raw materials $40 Conversion costs $40 Total cost $200 Results: Conversion costs/Total cost $40/$200 = 20%
Example. Home Co. produces the chemical ingredient for cologne in the United States and sells it to Overseas Co., a foreign corporation. Overseas uses the ingredient to manufacture finished cologne and sells the finished product to Home. Home then sells the cologne to its customers. Home has domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR) for its initial sale of the chemical ingredient to Overseas. If its conversion costs are at least 20% or the value added is substantial in nature, Home also has DPGR for the finished cologne.
Qualified production activities income is determined on an item-by-item basis only; allocation by product line or division is not permitted. A product offered for sale that meets all the requirements of section 199 is an item. If only a portion of the product meets the requirements, only that portion is considered an item. (This is known as the shrink-back rule.) If two or more pieces of property are offered for sale, they must be packaged and sold together to qualify as an item.
Example. Canvas Co. manufacturers and sells framed artwork. Canvas prints the artwork, imports the frames and assembles the product. If the total conversion costs in the United States are equal to or greater than 20%, then all of the receipts qualify as domestically produced gross receipts. If the conversion costs are less than 20%, the printed artwork is considered the item and only the gross receipts allocable to the artwork qualify as DPGR. See www.aicpa.org/pubs/jofa/jun2006/zameer.htm for a case study on calculating the QPA deduction.
In allocating and apportioning expenses, CPAs must specifically identify the costs attributable to domestic receipts. If that's not possible, they can use any reasonable method for allocation that is satisfactory and accurately identifies the gross receipts that constitute domestic receipts. CPAs can help clients maximize the deduction by advising clients to use time-saving technologies such as tax allocation software. Interim guidance provides three methods of allocation and apportionment of deduction: the section 861 method, simplified deduction method or small business simplified method.
If CPAs determine that their clients do not qualify for the two simplified methods, they must use the section 861 method. If they use Fifo for inventory valuation, they should allocate the proper share of valuation adjustments. If Lifo is used, a reasonable method to allocate between domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR) and non-DPGR should be used. For unified capitalization (UNICAP) rule purposes, the absorption ratio is applied to the section 471 cost of goods sold (COGS). The UNICAP rules provide that certain distribution costs incurred in distributing goods to nonrelated customers do not need to be capitalized.
Even if receipts and costs are in different accounting periods, CPAs can use their own method to account for gross receipts and costs. This may result in DPGR being recorded in a year earlier than the related costs.
Example. In 2006 Flower Co. enters into a contract with Tree Co. (an unrelated party) for the sale of landscaping plants, which are qualified production property (QPP), and Tree Co. pays Flower Co. In 2007 Flower Co. grows the landscaping plants and delivers them to Tree Co. Flower Co. includes Tree's payment in its 2006 gross income figure, and the payment is DPGR in 2006. Flower's cost of goods sold is included in determining its qualified production activities income in 2007.
For purposes of the qualified production activities (QPA) deduction, all members of an expanded affiliated group (EAG) are treated as a single corporation. An EAG is a chain of includible corporations connected through at least 80% stock ownership with a common parent corporation. Each FAG can receive only one QPA deduction, which is allocated ratably in proportion to each group member's qualified production activities income (QPAI). If transactions between EAG members are created purely to qualify for domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR), the entire benefit is eliminated. For members of a consolidated group, income and expenses may be re-determined under Treasury regulations section 1.1502-13. This produces the effect on income as if the members were a single corporation.
Example. ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are members of a consolidated group. ABC manufactures bindery equipment costing $10,000 and leases it to XYZ for $4,000. XYZ uses the machinery in its manufacturing business and deducts depreciation of $1,500. XYZ sells books (qualified production property) manufactured with the machinery for $12,000 and incurs $3,000 of COGS related to the sale. To determine the QPAI, it would first re-determine income under 1.1502-13, then eliminate lease income and expense: DPGR ($12,000) - COGS ($3,000) - depreciation ($1,500) = QPAI ($7,500).
Although section 199's allocation requirements seem cumbersome, the vast benefits of the deduction may be reaped immediately. The regulations provide much-needed clarification of the simplified methods and safe harbors under notice 2005-14. Although the administrative burden of allocating qualified production property gross receipts between domestically produced gross receipts (DPGR) and non-DPGR may seem vast for smaller taxpayers, the simplified allocation methods make the potential benefit worth the extra costs. Larger taxpayers, despite having to use the cumbersome section 861 regulations for allocation, also may see immediate benefits.
Taxpayers who manufacture qualified production property in the United States and assemble the finished product overseas may be especially surprised to find that the section 199 deduction is much greater than they originally had anticipated.

Practical Tips
* In order to maximize the QPA deduction, advise clients to use timesaving technologies to keep track of DPGR and related expenses.
* Review form 8903, consolidated roll-ups and schedule K-1 before preparing the tax return.
* If the simplified method is not applicable, allocate expenses using IRC section 861.

In the run up to the biggest NASCAR race week of the year, Dr Temperance Brennan is called to a landfill site backing onto the Charlotte speedway track in North Carolina. Someone has discovered a barrel of hardened asphalt with a human hand poking through the top. With the country's press trained on Charlotte, it is up to Tempe to try to release and identify the body in the barrel. But there is more than one potential victim: the brother of a girl who went missing with her boyfriend ten years before comes forward, and the trail he sets in motion leads Tempe to one of America's largest fascist organisations. But before she can discover anything, the FBI confiscate the body and destroy it.
What terrible secret could they be hiding? As tension at the speedway mounts, Tempe tries to unravel the conspiracy of lies surrounding the missing couple, the body in the barrel, and the horrific death at the track of yet another victim....

Re: decision regarding Rugal incomprehensible!
I was always mindful of Sisko's and Picard's differing decisions.
Here, Sisko has a Cardassian child raised by the enemy and ultimately returns the Cardassian to his home.
Picard has a human child raised by the enemy in "Suddenly Human" and tries to return the child to his home... but then stops and lets the child remain with the only family he's ever known.
Sure there are differing Cardassian, Human, Bajoran values involved, but it's a very similar situation and the two captains come to opposite conclusions. Interesting.

...building hybrid clouds that can support any device from anywhere
Hello Readers/Viewers!
As you can see, I am really trying hard to get both of my quotas met: blog posts + fun…
That said, this post, while dealing a very small amount with Automation and System Center Orchestrator, is really just me getting my geek on for a few technologies I was exploring at the time – yes, at the time – this video coming up on 2 years old now.
Which is something that should be noted… it is old and has some older references (including my job title). Again, this is just for fun!
Why not?!? :)
We have new audience, the content is still valid, and hey, the blog post did have "Just For Fun" in the title…
Well, with a bit of help from existing example projects created using the KINECT for Windows SDK Beta, I was able to create a simplistic "app" which not only displays the KINECT "Skeleton", but also tracks movement in the right and left hands to determine mouse events (movement and click). Leveraging this NUI, I was able to [slowly] create a simple Runbook with ONLY hand and arm gestures.
I would like to thank my "stunt double" for all his hard work (pictured below waving hello). :)
Roll Tape!
REMINDER - This approach to Runbook creation is completely impractical for day-to-day Runbook design. Mouse and keyboard usage are still the only supported method for creating Orchestrator Runbooks.
If you are curious, I used a mix of the following KINECT examples to throw this "app" together:
Now what we need is (not much of a change) is to plug in the Kinect into Orchestrator to activate Runbooks to deploy VM's, repair Exchange Databases, Trigger maintenance tasks.... Oh the power!
....Except if you sneeze! :)

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Nearly 25,000 Delaware residents signed up for a qualified health plan on HealthCare.gov between Nov. 15, 2014, and Feb. 15, 2015. According to Kaiser, 52 percent of the state's potential pool of 48,000 individuals signed up for coverage.
HealthCare.gov, the marketplace that Delawareans use, announced a special enrollment period (SEP) for those facing a 2014 tax penalty for not having health insurance. The SEP runs March 15 through April 30, and it is available to anyone who didn't know about the penalty until completing 2014 tax forms.
Special enrollment periods are also open to consumers who experience a qualifying event, such as getting married or having a child. Individuals must enroll or make changes to their coverage within 60 days of the event. Enrollment for Medicaid continues throughout the year.
If you aren't covered in 2015, you may have to pay a penalty: $325 per adult/$162.50 per child or 2 percent of the household income, whichever is more. However, there are caps on the total amount and numerous exemptions. Use the calculator on healthinsurance.org to see if you'll be penalized if you skip getting covered in 2015.
Plenty of help available from Choose Health Delaware
Delaware received a $600,000 federal grant to fund in-person assistance with 2015 enrollment. Choose Health Delaware has marketplace guides available at more than 70 locations throughout the state, including hospitals and other healthcare facilities, libraries, state service centers, schools and college campuses, community agencies and churches. The exchange website includes a locator tool to help consumers schedule an appointment with a marketplace guide.
2015 insurers and rates
Two divisions of Aetna and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield are selling individual policies through the exchange for 2015. Plans being sold by Aetna were marketed as Coventry plans in 2014; Coventry was acquired by Aetna in 2013.
A study released in December 2014 by The Commonwealth Fund shows just a 3 percent increase in average marketplace premiums for Delaware between 2014 and 2015. The weighted analysis looked at rates across all metal tiers and in urban/suburban/rural areas of most states.
The Commonwealth Fund study found wide variations across the country. Ten states are experiencing double-digit increases, while 14 states are seeing double-digit decreases. For the nation, average premiums increased 0 percent — an amazing turnaround from the 10 percent or greater annual increases seen in the years immediately preceding the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
How many people signed up in 2014?
According to Choose Health Delaware, 23,612 state residents enrolled in private insurance or Medicaid between October 2013 and November 2014.
During 2014 open enrollment, 81 percent of those enrolling in QHPs were eligible for premium subsidies. Among those who qualified for subsidies the average post-subsidy monthly premium was $130. That's the third-highest average among states using the federal marketplace.
Delaware experienced a 0.9 point drop in its uninsured rate between 2013 and 2014, according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index. Delaware's uninsured rate was 9.6 percent in 2014.
Delaware's SHOP exchange
Delaware businesses with 50 or fewer employees can shop for health insurance online through the SHOP exchange on HealthCare.gov. However, enrollment expectation for the SHOP are modest.
Delaware is delaying the launch of "employee choice" on the SHOP exchange. Employee choice allows employees of small businesses that use the SHOP to select from a range of plans rather than being limited to a single plan selected by their employer. The federal government let states that use the federal marketplace choose if they want to implement employee choice for 2015. Delaware is one of 18 states that is delaying implementation of employee choice.
Delaware's marketplace approach
The state's health insurance marketplace is branded as Choose Health Delaware, and it is operated in partnership with the federal government. Delaware is responsible for plan management and consumer assistance while the federal government handles all other functions.
Several states adopted a partnership exchange as an incremental step toward an eventual state-run exchange. However, Delaware chose the partnership model as a financially prudent approach given its small population. Delaware officials also expressed interest in a potential regional exchange, whereby the state would partner with one or more other states. A regional partnership would spread administrative cost over a wider population and increase the size of the risk pool.
Leavitt Partners, a consulting firm, evaluated how Delaware and the other states may react to the King vs. Burwell case before the Supreme Court. According to Leavitt, Delaware would likely implement a state-run marketplace if the court rules that federal premium subsidies are not available in states that rely on HealthCare.gov.

I need to update info here. If your looking for SUSE RPM's, the official Plex CentOS/Fedora ones are also SUSE aware, so please install those, I won't be maintaining these custom builds any more since I merged it into the CentOS/Fedora RPM's.
Happy friday the 13th
After several request, i decided to try out and remake my CentOS/Fedora RPM's to SUSE. They required a little work to fit SUSE instead of CentOS/Fedora, and are still in the test phase. But feel free to try them out. I have fittet them to work on OpenSUSE 12.1, but have yet to try it on other SUSE version.
Please provide feedback if you have any issues, and I will try and incorporate it as I get time for it.

Little India Riot COI: Heated exchange between committee and ground commander
Published on Mar 4, 2014 12:27 PM
The public inquiry into the Little India riot resumed on Tuesday on a cordial note, with chairman G Pannir Selvam telling Tanglin Police Division commander Lu Yeow Lim that the purpose of the committee of inquiry (COI) was to investigate the incident, and not "in the purpose of dispiriting anybody".
The hearing, however, quickly took a hostile turn, with a heated exchange between former commissioner of police Tee Tua Ba and the ground commander on the night of Dec 8 last year - particularly over whether the police were standing by and "did nothing... by holding the line" while the rioters ravaged Little India.
Mr Tee pointed out that the Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Police (DAC) had "more than a 100 men" at his disposal.
DAC Lu however clarified that police officers were scattered at various points along Race Course Road, in a theatre of operations "the size of three football fields". There were also only eight officers - not including two senior officers - with him in his immediate area of operations.

LightSquared Satellite Disabled By Last Week's Solar Storm 70
from the it's-in-the-cloud dept.
Got a source to back that up? I can't find any sources to support your claim, even on the most conservatives sites.
Wikipedia seems to agree with me:
The Federal Election Commission has no record of Phil Falcone, a registered Republican, nor LightSquared Chairman and CEO Sanjiv Ahuja of having ever contributed to President Obama's political campaigns.[39] However, since 2007, Philip Falcone has donated $50,500 to the Democratic Senatorial campaign Committee (and $85,500 to Republicans). Both Falcone's wife and LightSquared CEO Ahuja donated $30,400 to the DSCC (Ahuja gave the same amount to Republicans).
So tell me, where did you get this stuff about "several hundred thousand dollars in other donations"?

American travel photographer Tom Carter, author of the critically acclaimed book CHINA: Portrait of a People, has released new photos from his trip to Orissa. His multi-week visit of the remote eastern Indian state included an extensive tour of numerous Maoist-controlled villages in southern Orissa.
"At one point, we actually got caught right in the middle of a Naxal-organized strike, which effectively shut down for over a week the entire transportation network in Southern Orissa," said Carter during a recent interview. "Fortunately, Orissa is perhaps India's most naturally-beautiful state, so I was still able to get lots of great shots while we were stranded."
Orissa is also one of India's most poor regions and in a constant state of political turmoil between local indigenous tribes, represented by the far-left Naxalites, or Maoists, and government and corporate interests out to exploit the resource-rich region.
Puri, site of India's most famous temple, the Jagannath, is Orissa's biggest tourist draw, however Carter says he opted to spend most of his time in the jungles of Koraput in South Orissa to photograph the reclusive adivasi tribes.
"The Gadaba, the Bonda, the Dongria - I've never seen more resplendent tribal people anywhere in the world than I did in Koraput…and I don't think I've ever taken more awesome photographs either!"
38-year-old Carter made headlines in 2008 for his unprecedented 2-year, 56,000 kilometer journey across the 33 provinces of China, which resulted in the creation of his 640-page book of photography CHINA: Portrait of a People. Considered the most comprehensive book of photography on modern China ever published by a single author, the photo book was a critical and commercial success.
"I intend to photograph all 35 states/territories and traverse as much of India's 3.3 million square kilometers as possible. It may take a couple of years, but I won't rest until I have created the definitive India photo book, something any single author has yet to do."

Locations to audition are popping up all over the Great White North for talented young people to show their stuff in So You Think You Can Dance Canada. From hip-hop to ballroom, salsa to krumping, watch the best and the worst audition to be Canada's Favorite Dancer. Season 1, which aired its performance shows on Wednesdays (8 p.m., 2 hours), and results shows on Thursdays (30 minutes), saw Nico Archambault crowned "Canada's Favourite Dancer."

Trivia (4)
Leah: What better place to start [the audition tour] than Toronto? The audition tour, did not, in fact, start in Toronto; it started in Vancouver. Toronto was the second-last city in the five-city tour. The audition tour city dates were as follows: Saturday, April 4, 2009: Vancouver Tuesday, April 7, 2009: Edmonton Tuesday, April 21, 2009: Saint John Mon., Tues., May 18 & 19, 2009: Toronto Tuesday, May 26, 2009: Montreal
Jenna Lynn Higgins said she was from Ajax, ON, but was identified by the on-screen caption as being from Toronto, ON.
Leah: Join me next Wednesday at 8 on most CTV stations, but check ctv.ca for times in your area, as your Top 14 continue the battle for the title of Canada's favourite dancer. Leah invited viewers to tune in 'next Wednesday' [September 16, 2009], but the Top 14 performance does not air on Wednesday, it airs next Tuesday, September 15, 2009, and the results show, which does air on Wednesday, airs at 7:30 p.m.
Rex chose a Stacey Tookey number from the Top 6 show as one of his favourites; in introducing it, Leah said: Leah: This is the story of a woman gone mad and her lover, who realizes that, although he doesn't want to, he must let go. Here with another Stacey Tookey piece are Tara-Jean and Everett. However, the number was danced by Tara-Jean and Vincent, and Leah corrected this afterward.

(to Christian Ancheta, who began his audition by ripping off his pants to reveal a spandex-type unitard) Mary: Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I'm glad that you came here with a plan. I dug the fact that you pulled it off and surprised us with the "Blades of Glory" outfit there... Blades of Glory, (2007), is a movie starring Will Ferrell; it is about male ice dancers. As part of their sport, they wear tight, one-piece outfits.

Thread Sealant
Hey guys. I've read through this whole thread and see a couple of guys have tried using the Permatex 59214 instead of Mike's recommended 56521. I have completed my second go around with the provided Gasolia.
For both attempts I made sure the threads were cleaned with carb cleaner and a brush then fully dried. I applied the Gasolia after allowing it to cure for a 1/2 hour the first time and an hour and a half the second time. I then put it all together and waited 30 hours on the first attempt and 48 hours on the second. The results were the same. As soon as I turned the bike over a leak appeared around the Gasolia that was contained by the installed clamp. I only mention all this to let you know I am not a complete ID10T. My question really is about the thread sealant.
I live in Eastern Canada and am having a difficult time tracking down Permatex 56521. I can get hold of the 59214 quite easily but would like to know if anyone has any more feedback, good or bad, or opinions of the 59214 they could share?
Act surprised. Show concern. Deny everything.

"Shimla - A very British Retreat in the Himalayaas" Top 5 Page for this destination Shimla by NEILHALLIDYA
Shimla Travel Guide: 33 reviews and 44 photos
Shimla is well worth a visit primarily to get a sense of Indian History in the times of the Raj. However, it is an excellent base for treks in the surrounding area and a handy stopping off point for those on route further north to areas such as Manali and Leh.
Shimla was the Himalayaan Hill station. Situated in the foothills, in the days of the British Raj this was where the summer capital where the Viceroy and government used to retreat to avoid the heat of the summer on the Indian Plains in the days before independence.
Evidence of that British presence is everywhere in the town particularly on The Mall with its mock Tudor architecture, The Old Gaiety Theatre, large promenande (similar to those found at the British seaside). Some of thisBritish architecture is starting to fall to bits and has a very weather warn look. For me, this added greatly to the character of the place.
Even by Indian standards, the sight of candy floss being sold on the promenade with the Himalayaas as a backdrop is surreal.
Highlights to Shimla include a visit to the atmospheric Viceroys home, short visits to the two main Hindu Temples, excellent sunsets with the Himalayaan foothills as a backdrop, an interesting coffee house, shopping on The Mall and The Ridge, the famous Himalayaan Queen Train journey out of the Himalayaas (I missed out on this) and soime great walks in the local forests.
Shimla today is very much a "live town". The town is the capital of the state of Himanchal Pradesh
For modern India it is still a retreat but more for Hindu honeymooners and Indian tourists who are looking for a taste of the Himalayaas. For this reason in high season (June to September), I understand the town can be very crowded and accomodation is hard to come by. I went in November and it was not that crowded.
Watch out for the monkeys on the Mall. They are interesting to observe but can be mischievious.
- Pros:British past, hazy himalayaan views, good food and drink
- Cons:Monkeys on the Mall
- In a nutshell:Like a British seaside resort in the Himalayaas

Pleau to Plead Guilty; Avoid Death Penalty
The man at the center of a legal tug-of-war between the state and federal governments over the imposition of the death penalty is scheduled to enter a plea Wednesday that will send him to prison for the rest of his life. Jason Pleau has agreed to change his plea to guilty to avoid capital punishment.
Nearly three years ago, Jason Pleau shot Woonsocket gas station manager David Main in the head and stole 12-thousand dollars from him. Wednesday, Pleau is scheduled to plead guilty to robbery, conspiracy and using a firearm in a crime of violence.
Pleau has been at the center of a legal custody battle between the U.S. Government which wanted to seek the death penalty and the state of Rhode Island, which repudiated capital punishment long ago. The state lost that battle but in the end, federal prosecutors agreed to drop their demand for the death penalty in exchange for life in prison without parole.
Both sides have agreed to that sentence.

Pentagon Prepares Response to Iraq Secrets Release by WikiLeaks
Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- The Pentagon is prepared to quickly analyze the extent of damage to U.S. national security if more secret documents are released by the WikiLeaks.org website and to take action to mitigate problems, a spokesman said today.
A 120-person task force has reviewed the military's entire database of low-level Iraq tactical reports compiled during the conflict in preparation for the possible release of what could be thousands of similar documents from WikiLeaks.
The Defense Department intends, if and when WikiLeaks releases its files, to assess the material as soon as possible and, if necessary, take steps to protect Iraqi individuals named in the reports, Defense Department spokesman Colonel David Lapan told reporters today.
"We don't know how these documents might be released, when they might be released and in what number they might be released, so we are preparing for all eventualities," Lapan said.
He said the Pentagon team is ready to evaluate any released documents to determine if they pose concerns.
WikiLeaks.org receives confidential material that governments and businesses want to keep secret and posts the information on the Web.
The website published more than 91,000 secret U.S. military reports from Afghanistan in late July. Reports on the memos appeared in the New York Times, Britain's Guardian and Germany's Der Spiegel.
The Pentagon set up the review team days after the first release, and it's still assessing potential damage from the Afghanistan documents.
Potential Damage
"We are in the position now, unlike the first time, that that would happen very quickly," Lapan said of the analysis.
Lapan said much of the Pentagon's concern over potential national security damage centers on Iraqi citizens who might be named in WikiLeaks documents, and not specifically on descriptions of battlefield conditions.
In an Aug. 16 letter to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the release of documents that included the names of Afghan nationals cooperating with the U.S., is "likely to cause significant harm" to American security interests.
An "initial review" showed that most of the Afghanistan information "relates to tactical military operations," Gates wrote to Levin. The review "to date has not revealed any sensitive intelligence sources and methods compromised by this disclosure," he wrote.
Taliban Reprisals
Still, the documents contained the names of cooperative Afghans, and the Pentagon "takes very seriously" reports of possible Taliban reprisals, Gates wrote.
"We assess this risk as likely to cause significant harm or damage to the national security interests of the United States," Gates wrote.

No bus fare hike yet, says LTFRB-7 Director Cuizon
CEBU bus commuters will still pay P6 minimum fare since the petition for the proposed fare adjustment still has to be heard and approved.
Regional Director Ahmed G. Cuizon of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board in Central Visayas clarified this yesterday after Cebu bus operators and the Capitol signed an agreement on Monday to implement the official fare level of P8.50 for the first five kilometers, after four years of undercharging.
Cuizon, who attended the Capitol meeting, said the bus operators still have to file a petition for fare adjustment that will be sent to the LTFRB in Manila.
He said that it would take at least two months for the board in Manila to decide on the petition.
The bus operators want to reinstate a 2008 fare adjustment where passengers pay P8.50 for the first five kilometers and P1.40 for the succeeding kilometers.
Since 2011, bus operators agreed to a fare rollback citing market forces and to prevent cutthroat competition.
The present minimum bus fare is P6 for the first five kilometers and P1.20 for the succeeding kilometers.
Cuizon said he hasn't received any petition yet from the bus operators.
He warned bus operators not to implement the fare adjustment without LTFRB approval.
He said the bus operators and driver would be penalized for overcharging if they would be caught collecting the proposed fare adjustment. /Correspondent Jessa Christina Marie J. Agua
