With the rising costs at the gas pumps, grocery stores, and other consumer outlets, structured settlement recipients are finding themselves contacting factoring companies in order to relieve some of the financial pressures of today's market. While this may seem like a quick fix to any financial problem a tort victim may encounter, factoring a structured settlement will not help the annuitant over the long haul.
The following statement: "it is more expensive to sell less," when referring to a structured settlement factoring transaction is true when speaking in structured settlement factoring language. The pricing structure of the factoring market uses discount rates as a scale to determine the cost to the annuitant or tort victim. There are several reasons that it may appear to be more expensive to sell less of your structured settlement.
John Darer wrote an interesting post NSSTA versus the Rogues of Factoring, while I don't agree with the interesting video Mr. Darer showed in his post, I do agree with the symbolism. While Mr. Darer is battling the structured settlement brokers who are taking commissions on factoring transactions, other thoughts came to mind while reading his post. Where is the structured settlement factoring education? Where does an annuitant or a structured settlement broker go to find information about structured settlement factoring?
It appears a few factoring companies have dropped off the scene after making a strong appearance for a few months. Washington Square Financial, Woodbridge Investments, and Freedom Financial Solutions were all listed in the pay per click ads on the major search engines throughout the months of September, October, and November. These companies are no longer listed on the pay per click ad sections. Is this temporary?
Many individuals receive a structured settlement resulting from a personal injury tort claim in the United States of America. This financial tool is a source of fixed income that cannot be matched. For some of these victims a structured settlement cannot meet the rising costs of medical care and living expenses.

No questions about taxes at Sebelius hearing
In a letter delivered to Senate Finance Committee ranking member Senator Grassley (R-IA) and Chairman Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) on March 31, Sebelius said that she and her husband, Gary, had paid $7,040 in back taxes and $878 in interest after discovering "unintentional errors" in their tax returns for 2005-2007. Sebelius and her husband had asked a CPA to audit their returns when she was nominated for the position by President Obama.
The letter, made public by the Associated Press, described three areas where Sebelius and her husband made errors. They were:
- Charitable contributions: For charitable contributions in excess of $250, taxpayers must have an acknowledgment letter from the charitable organization in order to take a tax deduction. Out of 49 charitable contributions we made in these three years, there were three for which we could not locate our acknowledgment letter. The amended returns eliminated these deductions.
- Interest: In July of 2006, my husband and I sold our home for an amount less than the outstanding balance on our mortgage. We continued paying off the loan, including interest we mistakenly believed continued to be deductible mortgage interest. Another loan for home improvements was treated similarly. These errors were corrected in our amended returns.
- Business expenses: In reviewing our taxes, we discovered we had insufficient documentation required to claim some of our tax deductions for business expenses. While the amended returns reflect these changes, they did not affect the amount of taxes owed because we were subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax."
An earlier nominee for the HHS post, former Senator Tom Daschle, withdrew his name after it was revealed that he probably owed $140,000 in taxes for the services of a driver provided by his employer.
In addition to Sebelius and Daschle, four other senior nominees to the Obama administration have faced scrutiny about tax problems. Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner admitted he had not paid about $43,000 in taxes. Former Representative Hilda L. Solis, now Secretary of Labor, faced questions about $6,400 in tax liens against her husband's business.
Former Treasury official Nancy Killefer, whom Obama had nominated to be the administration's chief procurement officer, withdrew after admitting she had not paid employment taxes for a household worker. And in early March, after reviewing his tax returns, the Senate Finance Committee reported that former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, now the U.S. trade representative, failed to pay almost $10,000 in taxes.

The State I'm In
The closures debate and the bigger picture
Your editor is back in Atlanta, after a four-day trip to Grand Rapids, MI (and yes, it was cold and snowy... that's what winter's supposed to be like), and catching up on things here after being online only enough to get the front pages up Monday and Tuesday.
Looking at what's been going on, the thing that stands out is the current java.net poll. Not just the results, but the participation, and the side effects. I always knew that sooner or later we'd want to get a sense of how the various closure proposals were doing, and that it would be a poll that got a lot of votes. After being up for just five days, 1300 people have voted, making it far and away the most active poll we've run in a while.
Perhaps more important is that along with discussing the major proposals and their merits, a few people are asking the meta-questions where are we going with all of this, and whose choice is it to make anyways?
We feature two prominent blogs on this topic on the front page today, starting with Stephen Colebourne, co-author of the "First Class Methods" (FCM) closure proposal, who has posted a blog Evaluating BGGA closures. He notes his obvious bias and starts off asking a pair of bigger questions. "The closures debate is really a touchstone for two other, much broader, debates. The first "what is the vision for Java". There has been no single guiding vision for Java through its life, unlike other languages." He contrasts this with the effective "ownership" of other languages by individuals, like C# (Anders Hejlsberg), Perl (Larry Wall), Python (Guido van Rossum), C++ (Bjarne Stroustrup), and Ruby (Yukihiro Matsumoto).
The impact of this lack of guiding vision is a sense that Java could be changed in any way. We really need some rules and a guiding Java architect.
The second touchstone debate is "can any language changes now be successfully implemented in Java". This is generally a reference to generics, where erasure and wildcards have often produced havoc. In the votes at Javapolis, 'improving generics' got the highest vote by far.
The result of implementing generics with erasure and wildcards has been a loss of confidence in Java language change. Many now oppose any and all change, however simple and isolated. This is unfortunate, and we must ensure that the next batch of language changes work without issues.
Despite this broader debates that surround closures, we must focus on the merits of the individual proposals.
Stephen links to a similarly-concerned blog by Ted Neward, who wonders Who herds the cats?
Unfortunately, the two most recognized "benevolent dictators" of the Java language, Neal Gafter and Joshua Bloch, are on opposing sides of the aisle on this. Each has put forth a competing proposal for how the Java language should evolve. Each has his good reasons for how he wants to implement closures in Java. Each has his impressive list of names supporting him. It's Clinton and Obama, Java Edition. The fact is, though, that when these two disagreed on how to move forward, lots of Java developers found themselves in the uncomfortable position faced by the children when the parents fight: do you take sides? Do you try to make peace between them? Or do you just go hide your head under a pillow until the yelling stops?
This is the real danger facing Java right now: there is no one with enough moral capital and credibility in the Java space to make this call. We can take polls and votes and strawman proposals until the cows come home, but language design by committee has generally not worked well in the past. If someone without that authority ends up making the decision, it will alienate half the Java community regardless of which way the decision goes. The split is too even to expect one to come out as the obvious front-runner. And expecting a JSR committee process to somehow resolve the differences between these four proposals into a single direction forward is asking a lot.
So what do you think? Does Java need a "benevolent dictator"? Has design-by-committee led to a fear of change? Will we have neither closures in Java 7, nor something as seemingly simple as switch-on-String? And if Java does need someone to make the call, who is it, and do they have the clout to make a decision stick?
Also in Java Today, a NetBeans wiki page offers a complete, step-by-step introduction to creating Mozilla application addons with NetBeans. "You can easily setup NetBeans to create Firefox Addons for the following: Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla Suite 1.x, Netscape, SeaMonkey, Flock, Sunbird , and Nvu. This can be achieved using the foxbeans module for NetBeans available at the NetBeans Plugin Portal website."

Flamingo 3.0 official release. "The official release for version 3.0 of Flamingo component suite, including command buttons, breadcrumb bar, ribbon and file viewer panel."
Jayson Falkner offers the
Lazy coder's mapping of DNS prefix to a sub-directory in a web application.
"The Servlet specification provides a really elegant mechanism for packaging up a whole website in to a single WAR file and deploying that file as a website. Multiple websites can be mapped to different domain name prefixes, such as 'www.proteomecommons.org' versus 'tranche.proteomecommons.org'. This blog explains a hack to map the domain prefix to a sub directory of the same web application."

Re: Thread Problem.
"You are not the first and will definetively not the last user who will become angry about thread handling in Java. This is because of a missing advanced implementation for threads and the lack of documentation. Currently the only way to stop a thread is Thread.interrupt(). You have to implement a try-catch which encapsulates the whole thread code."
lumenlunae reports problems with
Custom Tab Components on a Mac.
"I am working on a project for university, and want to add close icons to tabs in a JTabbedPane. To this end I have checked out the TabComponentsDemo from the Java Tutorials page (here). The code there works fine on a PC. However, on every Mac we ran this demo on, it doesn't display the close buttons. (Running Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Java 1.6.0 (b88-17-release). We've not been able to find another version of Java 1.6 for Mac 10.4.) Does anyone have an idea if there is a way to fix this, or is it an issue with this (beta) version of 1.6?"

Museum Lists Most Influential New Yorkers
And a quarter of them are Jews
Remember the line in Annie Hall where Woody says he hears people calling his hometown Jew York? Fact is, Jews have made a special contribution to New York City, to the point that New York's very identity seems wrapped up with that of the Jews. So it's unsurprising that of the 400 people whom the Museum of the City of New York recently listed as the folks "who have helped define New York City for the past 400 years," many belong or belonged to the Tribe—96 members, or 24 percent, by our count (give or take a Jew).
The Times's City Room blog asks who was left off the list. From the Jewish perspective, we think it conspicuous that none of those great mid-20th-century thinkers, who were so tied up with New York that they became known as the New York Intellectuals, appears. These men and women were brilliant and immensely influential in their day, particularly regarding how others see New York and howNew York sees itself; and the significant majority of them were Jewish. So, City Room, that's our answer.

In this series on productivity, author Jess Stratton takes you through the latest tools that will help you run your business and life more efficiently. Each installment covers a particular feature or technique in a different online tool, such as Google Apps, Skype, YouTube, Mint.com, Etsy, and more. Learn about topics ranging from recording and publishing video chats to managing your finances online.
Note: Monday Productivity Pointers is currently on a break, but stay tuned for new tutorials!
Jess Stratton, here and welcome to Monday Productivity Pointers. In the last video, I showed you how to use the Chrome browser and start adding content to your feedly. It's like having a magazine that's 100% custom tailored to your interests. So now that the content is there. In this video, I'm going to show you how you can further customize feedly once you're in it, and reading your content. So that it can be the best possible experience you could have. And tailored to the way that you like to read.
I've logged into feedly. And right now, it's on the today view. So here's all my articles from today. And I can see that the first category that it picked for me is Cooking. So, everything that's in my cooking category is right in this feed. We move down to the Learning category and here's all the new releases from lynda.com that I had in my feed. I also have a News category and so on and so on. I can go through them all. So there's a few things that we can do. The first thing that we can do at any time is click on any of these categories, and read them one at a time.
So if I just want to read my news, I can click News. The same with all my favorite Productivity blogs. And technology and so on and so on. Now, some ways that you can customize it, is by changing the way that they display in the view. So here's a default view, and I can change that view at any time by coming over to the top right and clicking on these four icons. For example, I can switch to a title-only view. This shows me the blog that it came from, the title of the blog article, and a little bit of a description of it.
It will also tell me how long ago it was posted on the website itself. Now it gets more apparent when I have multiple sites in that category. For example, I'm going to switch to my Productivity category and change to the Title Only View. So here, you can see on the left hand side all the different sites that it's coming from. I can change to what they call Magazine View. This is my personal favorite. It just is a very pretty view. And it makes it fun to read. I can see the thumbnail image that was from that site. Here's the same title and here's the same description except it's just a little easier to read.
I can also change to a larger view. Now remember more or less articles is going to fit on the page depending on which view you choose. It's the same content though. Finally I can choose a full article view, in which I can read it in line right from Feedly. I can decide at any time which one I want to keep by default, by coming down here on the left-hand side on the bottom of the screen, an choosing preferences. This is going to ask me which my default view is. Now I like magazines, so I chose Magazine.
I can fix that at any time, and come back in and change it. I can also choose which page I want feedly to load when I start it. For example, only sites that were updated today all of them, or something that it calls the index view. I'll show you that in a second. So you can explore all of the preferences that you can change. Get it all set up the way you want, and when you are finally done. We can move out of it, and I'll show you what index means on the left-hand side here.
This is going to show me all my categories such as Updates, Productivity, News. These are things that I've made, what sites are in them, and how many unread articles are in there. At any time, I can click on that and go right to that category and start reading. Now suppose I have a feed that I don't want any more. Or it's just an old feed, my interest has changed. Or perhaps I've just added it to the wrong category. I can change those at any time.
I'm going to click on Organize on the left hand side of the screen. And this is going to bring me to a drag and drop screen. I can see all my categories and I can see all the sites that's in them. At any time I can remove a site from this by clicking on the x. It's going to ask me if I want to unsubscribe from the the site, and I can choose yes or no. In this case, I do want it removed, so I'll click Yes. I can also move things around. For example, I noticed while I was going through my categories That BBC News is in the wrong category.
It keeps showing up in my technology, but I want it in the news category. I can take BBC News, click and hold the mouse, and drag and drop right into the news category. Now it's in the right place. I can also further organize this view by creating new categories or by moving things around. For example, here's my relax category in which I look at these sites over my morning coffee or whenever I have some free time. Now I can further refine that. For example, I have two sites in here that might be better suited to their own category.
So I'm going to take this site, drag it all the way into New Category. I'll then get prompted to name that new category. I'll call it Cars. Click the green Create button, and I've got my new category. Now I can take my second site, and move it in to the category. I can see that change instantly on the left hand side. And now whenever I go into my new Cars category, I'll be brought right in to the dual nic in the Reddit mini-site that I created.
So now I can take my time and browse these sites. Now there's one more thing I want to show you. I'm going to come down here and select Themes. Because if you're getting your magazine all set up the way you want it you might as well get it to be a nice color that you like. So here's where you can change the color. Go through, find one that you like, and update the color. Now when you come into your Today view. It'll save the color and it'll always be there when you go back into your feedly. So, that's a little bit about how you can organize your feeds, move them around, delete old feeds and create new categories.
I encourage you to go through, check the preferences, change the way your feeds are displayed, and get it all set up to be your perfect magazine.

Jessie J may be a household name but that didn't stop her making it all about her fans as she hit the stage at Wireless Festival yesterday.
Jessie J let her fan take to the mic at Wireless last night. Copyright [PA]
As the weekend's line-up drew to a close Jessie J packed a powerful punch as the penultimate act to take control of the main stage — opting to let a fan belt out part of her chart-topper track, Price Tag.
[Related story: Jessie J goes for tie dye overload at T in the Park]
[Related story: Laura Wright upstages Jessie J at awards bash]
The star looked into the crowd and invited one fan up, and true to her fun-loving persona Jessie plucked one lucky girl — dubbed 'the person looking away saying please don't pick me' by the singer.
Jessie J got plenty of neck exercise in at Wireless. Copyright [PA]
And the fan was way more cool than omg! would ever be in such a situation as Jessie took to the vocals but invited her fan to bring in the ker ching ker chings, and all the fun bits.
It was a great crowd pleaser and Jessie put in more energy than any other act over the weekend, and also got in on the Rihanna anticipation who proceeded her on the bill.
The Brit chanted 'RiRi' back to the crowd before saying how great it was to be at Wireless when she used to go there pleading to let her dream of being a signer come true.
Jessie loved playing with the crowds. Copyright [PA]
Jessie flung her long dark locks around taking a rockier edge with her music although stayed true to her unusual fashion choices.
The star showed off her taught tummy in a white crop top worked with denim shorts, striped tights and what was thought to be a long flag wrapped around her waist.
Domino was the closing song, and before this was belted out, Jessie got the crowd to turn around, having their backs to the stage for a little bit of silliness.
And all this has left us wanting a lot more of Jessie J!

[Author was long YHOO at time of writing]
Marissa Mayer – Yahoo's Yahoo's CEO — was granted a compensation package two years ago when she started that will pay her more than $250 million if she stays on the job for two more years and the current stock price doesn't go up another penny.
That makes me, a Yahoo shareholder, angry given that a big part of her compensation is tied to the price of Yahoo's stock, which has increased from about $15/share when she started to $36/share today. Normally, when a stock price goes up, most shareholders would be happy and fine with a CEO receiving $250 million in compensation — even if it does seem lavish.
However, in the case of Yahoo, Mayer is responsible only for the operations of Yahoo's core business, which has been dramatically shrinking in value over the past two years although other parts of Yahoo have been increasing in value to more than offset this decline.
Consider this: Two years ago when Mayer started, Yahoo's stock price was trading around $15.75/share or $19 billion in market capitalization (with 1.2 billion shares outstanding). Let's break out the sum-of-the-parts making up that valuation at the time:
- Yahoo had $1.8 billion in cash on its balance sheet at the time
- The after-tax value of Yahoo's 35% stake in Yahoo Japan Yahoo Japan at the time was $3.4 billion
- The after-tax value of Yahoo's 24% stake in Alibaba at the time was $6.5 billion (assuming a $40 billion valuation at the time)
- This means that Yahoo's core business at the time was being valued at $7.3 billion or 5x its EBITDA at the time which was $1.5 billion a year
Today, Yahoo's stock price is $36.47/share or $36 billion in market capitalization. But, today, the sum-of-the-parts works as follows:
- Yahoo will have $9 billion in cash on its balance sheet at the end of September when Alibaba IPOs; it also has $1.1 billion in debt
- The after-tax value of Yahoo's Yahoo Japan stake is $5.8 billion
- The after-tax value of Yahoo's Alibaba stake once it starts trading (assuming 16% at a $200 billion valuation which is the Bloomberg Bloomberg consensus) is: $21.8 billion
- This means that Yahoo's core business today is being valued by investors at $500 million or 0.4x its EBITDA today which is $1.2 billion a year
Under Mayer's watch then in the past two years, Yahoo's core business has dropped from $7.3 billion to $500 million. (Keep in mind that AOL AOL is currently valued at $3 billion.)

Helix alum Reggie Bush to forfeit Heisman Trophy
"Each individual carries the legacy of the award and each one is entrusted with its good name," Bush said in a statement. "It is for these reasons that I have made the difficult decision to forfeit my title as Heisman winner of 2005. The persistent media speculation regarding allegations dating back to my years at USC has been both painful and distracting. In no way should the storm around these allegations reflect in any way on the dignity of this award, nor on any other institutions or individuals. Nor should it distract from outstanding performances and hard-earned achievements either in the past, present or future."
Bush's Heisman had been in jeopardy since April 2006, when the NCAA began investigating media reports that an investor in an aspiring sports marketing agency was letting Bush's parents live rent-free in a $757,000 house in Spring Valley. The investigation culminated in June when the NCAA penalized USC with a two-year bowl ban and a reduction of 30 scholarships over three years. It is against NCAA rules for players or their families to receive impermissible benefits while in college.
In its report on USC, the NCAA said that because of the benefits Bush received, USC admitted that Bush was not eligible during 2005, when he won the Heisman over quarterback Vince Young of Texas, the second-place vote-getter.
The Heisman ballot, which is voted on by media and former Heisman winners, states, "The recipients must be in compliance with the bylaws defining an NCAA student athlete."
Even so, Bush's defenders say he won the award on the field and shouldn't have to give the trophy back.
"I think it's ridiculous," said Donnie Van Hook, one of Bush's former coaches at Helix. "He was ill-advised and made mistakes, but what he did on the field had nothing to do with that."
In his statement, Bush for the first time publicly says he made "mistakes" but offers no further details. Previously, he publicly had denied wrongdoing. The NCAA said he and his family didn't sufficiently cooperate with its investigation.
Bush sent messages to followers on Twitter Tuesday that said, "The key is to never allow your faults or mistakes to define you, yet use them as an opportunity to mature and grow to become better!"
The 2005 Heisman is expected to remain vacant. Young also sent a message on Twitter Tuesday that said Bush "will continue to be the 2005 Award recipient and I will continue to be honored to have been in the 2005 Heisman campaign with such a talented athlete."
USC previously agreed to dissociate itself from Bush because of his rules violations. As a result, the university removed its replica of Bush's trophy that had been on display near Allen's and others at Heritage Hall on campus.
The Bush ordeal began when investors for an aspiring sports marketing agency, New Era Sports & Entertainment, sought to feature Bush as a primary client once he turned pro. Bush signed with other agents instead, leaving the investors in New Era feeling spurned.

Philip Rivers finds time in Chargers win
Offense goes turnover-free to open season
Third-year linebacker Travis Goethel was thrown into action, and on the 34th anniversary of the Holy Roller, misfired punts to Shane Lechler.
Chargers tight end Dante Rosario penetrated up the middle to block a third-quarter punt.
It was the first time Lechler had a punt blocked since 2006. It was the Chargers' first block since Jacob Hester did it in 2009. It was Rosario's first since high school.
"It's been a long time," Rosario said. "When that gap opened, it was like something felt wrong. 'I shouldn't be this free.' Then when I started to realize what was happening, you just run as hard as you can to the block spot and do all the technique stuff we work on every week."
The Chargers have won eight of their last nine in Oakland.
They are 4-2 in season openers under coach Norv Turner, who tied John Madden with his 112th career win. The total ranks 33rd all time.
Turner is 112-117. Madden is 112-39.

I then set the config again to same thing and now starting a new game, the cutscene is eliminated altogether.

NAGAPATTINAM: Councillors belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam staged a walkout from the Nagapattinam municipal council meeting on Monday, condemning the municipality for its "failure" to collect profession and service tax from marriage halls and lodging houses.
However, the councillors returned to the meeting after 10 minutes.
Sridhar (DMK), who raised the issue at the meeting presided by Chandramohan (AIADMK), Chairman, said that nearly Rs.16 lakh of profession tax and service tax arrears was yet to be collected from the marriage halls and other establishments. He pointed out that while drinking water connection had been disconnected for failure of payment, why the municipality did not take interest in collecting the profession and service tax from the marriage halls and lodges.
Mr. Chandramohan ordered issue of final notice to all the marriage halls and lodges, asking them to pay the tax arrears immediately.
Abubacker (DMK) suggested at the meeting that education assistance to school students should be disbursed only through the Headmaster of the respective schools and requested the chairman to refer the issue to the Nagapattinam district administration.
Tamim Ansari, councillor, drew the attention of the council that drainage water was overflowing in several roads and streets following blocks in the drainage system and also encroachments. He urged the chairman to take steps to appoint more sanitary workers in the municipality as the present number of sanitary workers was not adequate to carry out the cleaning work.
Replying to the query, the chairman said that all encroachments would be removed immediately and all blocks in the drainage system rectified.
Lakshmi (DMK) alleged malpractice in the supply of the diesel to the water lorries of the municipality and wanted the chairman to take action in this regard.

Airbus leads Boeing but A400M problem lingers
SEVILLE, Spain Airbus on Tuesday said it beat rival Boeing in aircraft production in 2009, maintaining its place as the world's largest planemaker, but the CEO warned a troubled military transport jet program is endangering the rest of the company.
Airbus delivered a record 498 aircraft in 2009, above its 2008 tally of 483 and Boeing's score of 481.
The increase masks what CEO Tom Enders called a "big disappointment" with Airbus' newest plane, the A380 superjumbo, which also suffered from costly delays. Airbus only managed to deliver 10 A380s last year, well below its initial goal of 18, and Enders said the program will be "a financial liability" for years to come.
Enders also said Airbus should cancel the delayed and over-budget A400M military plane project if customer governments fail to commit more funds soon because it is swallowing money and valuable resources.
The hulking gray turboprop, which made its first flight only last month, is costing euro100 million ($145 million) each month and valuable engineering resources, Enders said.
Airbus was "stupid" to agree to the original fixed-price contract for the A400M, he said at the company's New Year's press conference in the Spanish city of Seville.
"We should not accept a situation where we continue with stupidity," he told reporters as he announced Airbus' 2009 commercial results.
"That could seriously jeopardize Airbus and its commercial competitiveness. That is why I ring the alarm bell and say guys we cannot go on like that, we need a decision."
The money being spent on the A400M could be used on other Airbus projects: as well as getting the A380 on track, it is also working on a new widebody, the A350 XWB, and is thinking about fitting a new engine to its A320 single-aisle workhorse.
Analysts have said the threat is aimed at forcing governments to move ahead with a project that supports 40,000 jobs, many of which would be based in Seville, where the A400M is assembled.
The CEO of Airbus parent company EADS, Louis Gallois, said "we need to solve the issue no later than end of January."
The A400M project was launched six years ago with an order for 180 planes from seven governments - Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain and Turkey.
The original price was euro20 billion ($29.5 billion), but a preliminary report by auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers said EADS might need an extra euro5 billion - inflating the final bill by 25 percent. Some reports have put the extra bill as high as euro11 billion.
Defense officials involved in the project are due to meet in London on Thursday, ahead of a Jan. 30 deadline to reach a financing deal on how to cope with the cost overruns. That deadline has already been extended several times, and it is a year since Airbus proposed a "new approach" for the troubled program.
In its main jetliner business, Airbus survived a crisis year for the airline industry to post better results than Boeing on both orders and deliveries.
"Under the circumstances it was a rather good year," Enders said.

CHURUBUSCO — Churubusco will be represented by two throwers in the track and field state competition held in Bloomington today and Saturday.
Senior Katie Monk is competing in girls discus after advancing out of regionals with a throw of 128 feet, 6 inches.
Senior Austin McClure will return to the state meet after claiming the regional championship in shot put with a heave of 51 feet, 9 inches.
Tanner Daniel (left) and Cameron Deckard, Columbia City's senior golfers, played their last match at Eagle Glen Tuesday night.
FORT WAYNE — Churubusco's baseball team saw its season come to an end Tuesday.
The Eagles lost to Adams Central, 13-10, in a sectional semifinal contest at Indiana Tech.
A comeback by Churubusco fell just short. The Flyin' Jets had a 5-1 lead after three innings.
Four more runs from Adams Central in the fourth made it 9-1. Churubusco was equal to the Jets in the fourth frame by chipping in four as well to bring the margin to 9-5.
COLUMBIA CITY — It was a banner day for the Columbia City boys golf team.
The Eagles beat Central Noble, 150-186, at Eagle Glen Golf Course Tuesday, coming together for an impressive team effort.
Columbia City was led by medalist Spencer Klimek, who shot a 34, good for two-under par. Teammate Tyler Green was right at par with a 36.
All told, the five Eagle varsity golfers outscored the top Cougar golfer, as Max Dryer and Matt Benedict both had scores of 40 and Cameron Slavich was at 43. The top Central Noble golfer shot 44.
HUNTERTOWN — For the third year in a row, the Columbia City baseball team is sectional runner-up.
This year, the Eagles came closer to hoisting the sectional trophy than they have in either of the two previous years.
Columbia City lost to Carroll 6-3 Tuesday night in the sectional championship game.
It was the second game of the day for the Eagles, who earned their way into the finals after defeating Snider earlier that day 6-0 in the semifinals.
"To have a showing like we did in our sectional, you can't really ask for a whole lot more," said Columbia City Head Coach Zac Bireley.
DECATUR — Whitko's baseball team saw its season come to an end in its sectional opener against Eastbrook Friday.
The Wildcats fell by a final score of 12-7.
Whitko dug a hole and could not get out of it. The Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first inning and did not relinquish the advantage.
"Their leadoff guy reached on an error," Whitko Head Baseball Coach Erik Hisner said of the first inning. "That kind of set the tone for the game."
Columbia City netter Celine Rongos is headed to the Indiana State Finals in LaPorte next week after winning her No. 1 singles match in the semistate at Culver Academies Saturday.
Rongos topped Morgan Smith, of Bremen, by a 6-4, 6-3 score. Smith was undefeated until she met Rongos. Last year, Smith made a run in the individual state tournament.
"I am very pleased with how Celine played tonight," Columbia City Head Coach Kathleen Myers said.
"She dug deep and came out with a win. Her hard work in the off-season is paying off."
FORT WAYNE — Sectional games for both Columbia City's and Churubusco's baseball teams have been postponed.
Both Eagle teams were originally scheduled to play Monday, but were unable to get their games in due to rainy weather.
Columbia City's game has been rescheduled for today at 6:30 p.m. at Carroll High School.
As before, the Eagles will play Snider in the semifinals.
Churubusco's sectional semifinal game against Adams Central has been rescheduled for today at 7:30 p.m. at Indiana Tech.
Columbia City's baseball team's sectional game that was scheduled to be played this afternoon has been delayed to tomorrow.
The Eagles will instead play Snider at Carroll High School at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in the sectional semifinals.
FORT WAYNE — Churubusco's Austin McClure was the regional champion Thursday night at Wayne High School.
McClure heaved the shot put 51 feet, 9 inches to garner the title and earn his ticket to the state track meet May 31 in Bloomington.
McClure is the lone Whitley County boys trackster to head to state — along with four girls — including fellow 'Busco thrower Katie Monk.
Monk is advancing in the discus.
McClure also competed in the discus, placing 13th with a throw of 120 feet, 2 inches.

1947-07-16 Rocky Graziano w rsc 6 (15) Tony Zale, The Stadium, Chicago, Illinois, USA - WORLD
1947-07-16 Rocky Graziano w rsc 6 (15) Tony Zale, The Stadium, Chicago, Illinois, USA - WORLD. Referee: Johnny Behr. Up until the sixth round the champion had appeared to be in control, having cut Graziano (155¼) over the left eye in the second, dropped him in the third with a right to the jaw and punished him severely. Coming out for the sixth Zale (159) went for the kill, but it was the snarling, wild-eyed Graziano, his right eye now almost closed, who found the blows to finish the contest. Rights after rights landed on Zale, who stumbled around the ring in a defenceless state and when he finally dropped to the floor the referee called it off on the 2.10 mark when the count had reached 'two', mindful of the recent Sugar Ray Robinson v Jimmy Doyle world welterweight title tragedy.
Although suspended by the NYSAC, the NBA, apparently oblivious to any other reasons why Graziano should be banned, were therefore shocked shortly after he had won the championship under their jurisdiction to find out that he had gone absent without leave during the war before being given a dishonourable discharge. In line with their own rules, the NBA were then forced to release a statement saying that they rejected any participant in boxing who had not fulfilled his trust to his country. However, following a favourable poll among associated NBA States, with the NYSAC still sitting on the sidelines, the third Graziano v Zale fight was eventually accepted by New Jersey.

BP's spill costs look manageable 8 months later
NEW YORK As the Gulf oil spill gushed out of control, BP's financial liabilities seemed big enough to sink the company. No more.
Cleanup, government fines, lawsuits, legal fees and damage claims will likely exceed the $40 billion that BP has publicly estimated, according to an Associated Press analysis. But they'll be far below the highest estimates made over the summer by legal experts and prominent Wall Street banks, such as Goldman Sachs, which said costs could near $200 billion.
BP will survive the worst oil spill in U.S. history for several key reasons: it has little debt; its global businesses are forecast to generate $26 billion next year in cash flow from operations; the environmental impact of the spill isn't as bad as feared; and the government seems unlikely to ban BP from Gulf drilling. To bolster its finances, BP has cut its dividend, issued debt and sold more than $21 billion in assets.
"It could have been a lot worse," says Tyler Priest, a University of Houston petroleum historian who serves on President Obama's oil spill investigation committee. "BP is going to come back from this."
Many influential investors appear to agree. According to Thomson Reuters, 23 firms with $1 billion or more invested in the stock market, including BlackRock Investment Management, Managed Account Advisors and Rydex Security Global Investors, more than doubled their holdings of BP stock from July through September.
At $44.11, BP's stock price has risen 63 percent from its low of $27.02 on June 25. It's still down 27 percent from its close of $60.48 on April 20, the day of the spill. The well was capped on July 15.
The AP analysis shows the company is likely to face $38 billion to $60 billion in spill-related costs. A settlement with the federal government could reduce that amount, while a successful class-action lawsuit could add billions more.
The analysis includes:
-The $10.7 billion that BP already has paid to plug its well, clean up the spilled oil and pay damage claims and other costs.
-A $20 billion fund that BP set up in August for individuals and private businesses that were affected by the spill. The fund, known as the Gulf Coast Claims Facility, pays for environmental damage, personal injury, cleanup and lost earnings. The fund so far has paid $2.7 billion to address nearly 168,000 claims. Nearly half a million individuals and businesses have filed claims, and those that settle with the fund give up their right to sue the company. If any of the $20 billion is left over, it goes back to BP.
-Fines: The Justice Department is suing BP for violating the Clean Water Act. Fines are based on how much oil was spilled. The government's estimate of 4.9 million barrels means BP faces between $5.4 billion and $21.1 billion in fines. The upper limit applies if investigators conclude BP acted with gross negligence. The government has a history of settling with companies for as little as 50 cents on the dollar in order to avoid lengthy disputes, says Eric Schaeffer, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's enforcement division.

Composer Giancarlo Vulcano on 30 Rock Music & The Pursuit of Imperfection
BED-STUY, BROOKLYN: TV and film score composers will often talk about their musical scores as characters in the advancing plot. But itŌĆÖs rare that audiences experience the score on that level ŌĆō especially on television and maybe most of all, on television sitcoms. Unless, of course, youŌĆÖre talking about 30 Rock.
30 RockŌĆÖs sophisticated jazz and musical theater-inspired soundtrack makes the showŌĆÖs ridiculous that much more ridiculous and its heart that much more endearing. Since the first season in 2006, Brooklyn-based composer and guitarist Giancarlo Vulcano has worked on the music with 30 Rock composer and executive producer, Jeff Richmond.
With Vulcano playing the guitar family of instruments, and Richmond on saxophone, clarinet and keyboards, the two create and perform most of each seasonŌĆÖs music episode-by-episode, on a weekly basis, between their studios at home and at Silvercup in Long Island City.
Though by now they have an enormous library of 30 Rock cues, they write each score from scratch, very often the weekend before it airs. They mix it on a Tuesday or Wednesday and the episode airs on Thursday.
Heading into the seventh and final season, which premiers tonight, we spoke to Vulcano about his role on the show, the musical production process, his career path, and so many other interesting things!
Vulcano welcomed us into his compact Bed-Stuy home studio, which is as distilled and unassuming as the musician himself ŌĆō equipped with just the select essentials: a Mac Pro running Logic, Universal Audio Apollo, Focusrite OctoPre and a single Soundelux microphone.
Tell us about your studio ŌĆō and how itŌĆÖs setup for your work on 30 Rock?
Well, we wanted to have the same main gear all over the city: for Jeff Richmond at his home studio, me at mine, our rigs at Silvercup, and even portably ŌĆō we mix at another facility ŌĆō Sync Sound on 56th┬ĀStreet. WeŌĆÖre always working on music, and no matter where we are, we have to be able to pull it up.
When the UA Apollo came out, I thought it looked like it might be more inspiring [than what weŌĆÖd been working with] ŌĆō the preamps are better, the plug-ins are great. So now we have the Apollos and we can just plug in the same headphones wherever we are, and weŌĆÖre listening to the same thing.
Then, the way we work is basically Dropbox and itŌĆÖs been very trouble-free and fantastic. You update your file, and it automatically updates on Dropbox. And with Logic you can color the regions so we can quickly refer to updates weŌĆÖve made to the files.
All of our audio files are in five different locations ŌĆō we both have a ŌĆ£samplesŌĆØ drive on our system and the hierarchy of where they all are is identical ŌĆō we clone our samples drives, so everywhere we go, we have the samples and you can open a session, and all the samples come right up.
And by samples, you mean the 30 Rock library of cues?
Yeah ŌĆō well, basically for every cue, we print stems. And itŌĆÖs a ton of stems. In one season (looking at the file folder), weŌĆÖve bounced around 2,400 files. ItŌĆÖs a lot of work, but it allows you to do two things: it allows you to ŌĆō at the mix ŌĆō duck out of something thatŌĆÖs not working, and it allows you to sort of mix and match in edits. Like, in a subsequent episode, you can call up just drums from the other episode ŌĆō and they can work like themes.
So with six seasons under your belt, you have a deep library. Is it somehow easier now that you can source music from there?
Not really! Every year we say this is going to be a big library year, and it never is. Season 6 was 2,400+ stems, Season 5 had 2,500+ stems.
And, youŌĆÖll record a lot of the music right here?
Sure, I have this great Soundelux mic ŌĆō itŌĆÖs perfect for acoustic guitar ŌĆō and IŌĆÖll also record electric guitar right into the input on the Apollo, and lap-steel. Then thereŌĆÖs this baby (pulls out a shaker), this is the big 30 Rock sound ŌĆō a one-dollar shakerŌĆ"
Nice. And what is the typical spread of live to sampled sounds on an episode?
Well, we have a template of string sounds, which come out of LA Scoring Strings and a lot of the sounds ŌĆō like the glockenspiel (which is another big 30 Rock sound), celesta and marimba ŌĆō are straight out of Logic. Anything shortŌĆ" staccatoŌĆ"always sounds best in MIDI. So thatŌĆÖs all Logic. Jeff plays clarinet and saxophone, so thatŌĆÖs usually always real; for brass we use EastWest or Kontakt. And then I do all the guitars, banjo, ukulele. Jeff also plays piano, so any piano will be well played (but also usually MIDI).
But sometimes weŌĆÖll say, OK this episode needs a lot of flute, and weŌĆÖll hire a really amazing flautist. Or we need a string quartet, and weŌĆÖll get people who play at the Metropolitan Opera and stuff like that, which is really cool. And in that case, weŌĆÖll go to a real studio, but if itŌĆÖs one player ŌĆō they may just come here, and get on the Soundelux.
How do you know when you need to hire a live string quartet vs. using sampled strings?
Well, first of all, there has to be enough time that we can write the music, know what it is, write the parts out, book a studio, and allow the engineer to record one day and mix the next ŌĆō so we need like three extra daysŌĆ" which we quite honestly almost never have. But when we do, weŌĆÖll go to John KilgoreŌĆÖs Studio and record.
Or sometimes it will be a flute player the day of the recordingŌĆ"and they have to come to Silvercup. But we either have to have the time, or itŌĆÖs a show where the music is so important, like the ŌĆ£Kidney Now!ŌĆØ episode, where we did a ŌĆ£We Are the WorldŌĆØ type music bit. For that, we hired eight strings, and Shawn Pelton and went to Avatar.
But thatŌĆÖs happened less and less, as the schedule is just more and more compact. We still use live players quite a bit ŌĆō sax, strings, flute, etc. ŌĆō we hardly ever use percussion; itŌĆÖll mostly be shaker.
The sound of the 30 Rock score has gotten into this smaller, pitsier, lighter soundŌĆ"which has to do with the mix of the whole show and what you can manage to squeeze in and not get in the way of the dialog. We used to make these great pieces of music and then you get to the mix and realize you canŌĆÖt have all that music. So basically, Jeff has discovered that these little pluckier movements work better. And now itŌĆÖs like a short-hand ŌĆō Jeff can communicate a lot of musical information with a lot less stuff now.
And the music has such a personalityŌĆ"It adds a level of ridiculousness or irony ŌĆō I mean, itŌĆÖs not just relaying the mood of the scene.┬Ā
Yes, and thatŌĆÖs JeffŌĆÖs vision; itŌĆÖs his music. He understands what it needs to be, and no one could come in the way of that. I have scored a few episodes myself, but mostly where I come in is, for example, heŌĆÖll do a theme and ask me to play banjo or guitar on it in a few keys, because the key is really important on our show, in terms of how that helps the story feel like itŌĆÖs progressing. ItŌĆÖs not the same cue over and over.
The relationship of keys is important ŌĆō itŌĆÖs quite sophisticated. IŌĆÖll do a banjo part in a different key, and then maybe IŌĆÖll do that on guitar as well, or add another part. And then Jeff will take that and add something on top of that. So there is that collaboration.
So, going into the final seasonŌĆ"will you start working on music ahead of time?
We always try. ItŌĆÖs like the beginning of the school year, when you think youŌĆÖre going to read everything. ŌĆ£LetŌĆÖs get ahead of it.ŌĆØ But that never totally happens. WeŌĆÖre right where we have to be but never ahead of schedule. WeŌĆÖll be writing music the weekend before, then mixing it just the day or two before it airs.
Outside of the script and these amazing characters, what inspires the music and sounds? What are some of the reference points that have come up?
Well, thereŌĆÖs the idea of pastiche ŌĆō Stephen Sondheim talks about when you can comment on whatŌĆÖs happening on stage by writing music in the style of the 1920s or the 1960s, etc. And I think Jeff does a lot of that. Where he goes, ŌĆśOh, TracyŌĆÖs having a problem with his wife,ŌĆÖ IŌĆÖm going to score this like a 60s bossa nova-whatever. So he makes this comment using pastiche ŌĆō he takes a style and superimposes it on the style of 30 Rock.
Sometimes weŌĆÖll reference a piece of music ŌĆō like, we really want this to sound like Vic Mizzy, the guy who wrote the Addams Family and Green Acres themes. He had this really great, really thin 60s guitar sound. And for a while we were really doing that.
Jeff studied and loves musical theater; he knows every musical. And when youŌĆÖre as conversant as Jeff, itŌĆÖs really amazing. You can move through all these stylistic periods.
What an amazing jobŌĆ"so, howŌĆÖd you get started in the business, and ultimately land this gig?
Well, I started out copying music for SNL. And in 2000, NBC had its 75th Anniversary and Howard Shore was the music director, so I met him, just as he was about to embark on the Lord of the Rings series. And in 2001 I started working for him, and that was non-stop for five years ŌĆō copying music for Howard, who writes everything out traditionally; he doesnŌĆÖt create in a studio. I worked with him for a good 5 years. It was a really big time in his life/career ŌĆō we did all the Lord of the Rings movies, Gangs of New York, The Departed and The Aviator.
When I left Howard, I had already known Jeff from SNL, and 30 Rock was starting up. I went to check it out, and slowly he gave me stuff to do ŌĆō two days a week, then more and more until it was seven days a week.
And then throughout 30 Rock youŌĆÖve continued to work on your own music ŌĆō you score films, play with Las Rubias Del Norte and a new trio, The Dollars, and put out albums of original work. The music on your album, Vetro, is of the minimalist new-music world, but thereŌĆÖs a distinctive freedom or ease, and simplicity in its approach. How does your personal artistic aesthetic come through in your work as a composer for film and TV? Do you have a consistent ŌĆ£soundŌĆØ, or approach?
Well, on a scoring project, I really try and do what the film is asking for. But I feel like every film score composer does that. And then it somehow ends up sounding like that person. But IŌĆÖm not sure if you listened to my film scores that youŌĆÖd hear anything unifying in them.
When IŌĆÖm writing serious music for a project, I do try to push it and push myself ŌĆō but as a musician and producer, IŌĆÖm not one of these people like Donald Fagen, doing things over and over again (as much as Steely DanŌĆÖs my favorite music in the world). I think the funkiness of Donald's music is served by its technical perfection. The same doesn't seem to be true when I go in the studio. I donŌĆÖt believe in having a bad time, if I can help it. If it sounds good, and the vibe is there, go with it.
In my new project, The Dollars, we play music by and inspired by [South African jazz pianist] Abdullah Ibrahim. And with his music ŌĆō the complexity or profundity is in the simplicity of it. He is a musician who will just play an F chord, but in such a way that just listening to it, you can hear so much mastery.
IŌĆÖm not a stickler for perfection, and I used to beat myself up about that, but now I feel like ŌĆō in a lot of ways ŌĆō perfection doesnŌĆÖt come from the perfect eighth note. I just donŌĆÖt know whatŌĆÖs gained from that pursuit. So IŌĆÖve committed to this road of not going for perfection. So on my original stuff, there will be shit thatŌĆÖs out of tune. And, you know, everything does something to the film. If you were to re-record that in-tune and perfectly, it would be different. Keeping the vibe in the room is more important.
[As far as approach,] I really favor recording everything in one room ŌĆō like at John KilgoreŌĆÖs studio. He has one room, and itŌĆÖs not big. And itŌĆÖs my experience that it never gets better when you go off and mix and overwork it. Always commit. The imperfections are really important to me.
And itŌĆÖs the imperfections that sometimes make you take notice of the music in a film or show ŌĆō like on 30 Rock, the music has space, and sounds like itŌĆÖs being played by human beings, has a personalityŌĆ"
Yeah, and that music is super imperfect too! (laughs) But it feels like an actual show. Like youŌĆÖre sitting down to watch a show.
Watch the 30 Rock season premiere ŌĆō ŌĆ£The Beginning of the EndŌĆØ ŌĆō tonight on NBC at 8/7c.

If you really want to know the very best corrola it would be the 1994. If the miles are acceptable to a power-train aftermarket warranty go with the 06 and the power train warranty. Buy it used check seems for repair. Drive the car see how it shifts, Then pay no more than 2500 current black book value of the car not blue book. Or just message me and I will tell you what it is worth after you have found the car that will fit with a powertrain. Car business 10 years. Get your loan on the car from a privet lender after you have picked it. That will ensure you do not get taken for points on the back end of the contract.
Well both cars will last you a long time, both are 4 cylinder engines.

Corolla Pro: Higher gas mileage 28 city, 37 highway. Cost less than Camry.

Corolla Con: Weaker 1.8 Liter engine, smaller interior (less leg room). Lower quality interior. Slower acceleration due to it's smaller engine.

Camry 2009 Pro: Decent fuel economy 21 city, 31 highway. Roomy interior. 2.4 Liter engine which produces more horsepower. Higher quality interior. More updated with technology because its a 09 model.

Camry Con: Cost slightly more (around a $2000-$3500 difference if both were new). Not as great fuel economy.

*Please note that different countries may or may not have different engines and specs, I am only speaking for United States cars.
