Nottingham suffered a second straight British and Irish
Cup defeat, beaten 22-14 at Moseley, which leaves them at the foot
of Pool 3 with just a single point.
A red card for full back Conor Bullivant 15 minutes before the
break looked to have given the home side a match-winning
The Green and Whites put in a huge effort though, two tries in
the space of a minute early in the second half bringing them back
to within three points.
The first quarter saw Nottingham struggle for possession,
Moseley taking the lead with a Sam Olver penalty.
The opening try soon followed as Nile Dacres broke through,
Olver's conversion making it 10-nil.
As if that were not enough Bullivant's red card, apparently for
a spear tackle, left them with a massive task on their hands.
And it quickly got worse as Moseley forced a second try from a
close range lineout that came from the resulting penalty. Joe
Carpenter got the touch down and Olver made it 17-nil with the
Maybe it was a sense of injustice, but the incident seemed to
galvanise Nottingham. They finished the first half on top and were
unlucky to go in at half time without a score.
The second half saw them address that, the pack driving over the
home line with skipper Matt Everard getting the try and Rory Lynn
adding the conversion.
And within seconds of the restart they got a second as Moseley's
kick off didn't go 10 metres. With the referee playing advantage,
hooker Shaun Malton ran through from halfway to touch down, Lynn's
conversion making it 17-14.
The Green and Whites continued to make a mockery of their
numerical disadvantage with a good spell of pressure, but when the
home side finally cleared upfield they re-established control with
an unconverted try from Sam Brown for a 22-14 win.

Expanded Gaming Legislation Moving Up in Illinois
Legislation to expand gaming in Illinois remains alive as the legislature nears the scheduled adjournment date for its spring session. House Speaker Michael Madigan upped the ante by announcing Wednesday, May 24, that House Democrats see gaming as the most attractive source of new revenue for the state.
However, Madigan refused to discuss what he would want to see in a gaming package and warned against making such a plan too broad. Supporters appear to have new casinos at the top of their wish list, with race track slot machines lower down among priorities.
Lawmakers are seeking new ways to generate revenue since Gov. Rod Blagojevich's proposed $7 billion gross receipts tax legislation appears to have sunk without a trace amid almost universal opposition. The governor has promised to veto any other new tax proposal, leaving gaming expansion among the few alternatives to fund even a "maintenance" budget.
Asked specifically whether any particular type of gaming expansion, such as slots at racetracks, would appeal to his Democrat majority in the House, Madigan said, "I think the attraction would be capital. Many people in the legislature are interested in more money for roads and bridges and mass transit capital, school constructions funds, construction of buildings at universities – many people would view gaming as a good way to accomplish that goal."
Asked again what components would have to be in the bill to win passage, the speaker said, "I'm not going to speculate today. I think you'd have to start from what you want to fund."
"My conversations with Mr. Cross were about gaming for capital," Madigan said. "I have an interest in that and he does also. I expect that we'll have further conversations."

Memorial Day salute
More than summer road trips and barbecues, Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor. Senior Correspondent Mike Causey and a former soldier with 30 years of service reflect.
Ghost of Memorial Days' past
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey goes back in time to a Memorial Day when honoring the fallen, not to mention not passing out, was the order of the day.
The $200 million free state tax refund
A quarter-million-plus feds live or work in Maryland. So, given the U.S. Supreme Court's recent finding that counties in The Free State have been double-taxing some residents, will federal workers score big time? Senior Correspondent Mike Causey turns to a tax expert.
Real victims or self-anointed wimps?
Is fed-bashing, by politicians and the media, worse than ever? Or is life in the federal government so much sweeter than everywhere else, except maybe Wall Street?
Tax-deferred pay raise? No thanks!
More than a quarter of FERS employees are not contributing the full 5 percent salary amount into the TSP. Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says it's a case of free money being turned down for no good reason.
The few, the proud, the mailman?
Federal employees have it tough. Especially, if you're a letter carrier. Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says you better be careful, because it's a dog-bite-mailman world out there.
Does GOP actually stand for Go-Away-Please?
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wonders if one political party is targeting federal employees' pay and benefits more than the other.
When no good deed goes unpunished
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey ponders how bad occurrences may actually lead to positive outcomes, despite what you first might think.
Phased Retirement: When, where and is it for you?
Although phased retirement has been in the works for a couple of years, nobody is sure what it will look like, how it will work and how it may vary from agency-to-agency, says Senior Correspondent Mike Causey.
Pay raise: Bad news, good news, back to bad ...
Just as it takes two to tango, the only way to make money in politics, the law and the media is to have at least two sides, says Senior Correspondent Mike Causey.
What's on the menu besides you: Prey or pray?
After weeks of negotiations, the House and the Senate passed a compromise budget. Senior Correspondent Mike Causey asked the Federal Managers Association to review the plan to see what it means for feds.
Tax-free government CD, or peel me another grape!
People under the old Civil Service Retirement System have a little-known perk called the Voluntary Contribution program. Lucky them, says Senior Correspondent Mike Causey.
New reality show: Feds on the edge
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey asks: How would you like to go to the "office" every day knowing that danger could be lurking anywhere, in many forms?
Feds/Congress: The Fear Factor
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says Congress and the White House have made his job easier ... namely by giving him plenty of stories to write about that scare federal employees!
You know you're back on the East Coast when ...
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey returns to the Nation's Capital after a week in sunny California and learns there's no place like home.
Special savings plan for CSRS types
How would you like the option to amass a separate tax-free retirement fund in addition to the CSRS annuity you will get when you retire from government? asks Senior Correspondent Mike Causey.
TSP or an annuity? Look before you leap!
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey is away on assignment. But he still has a suggestion for readers on how to make their neighborhood financial planner happy.
Let's start a conversation
Federal News Radio's Michael O'Connell and Nicole Ogrysko launch Studio Y, an audio podcast in which millennials talk about working for the federal government.
Shall I go or shall I stay now?
What advice might a federal geezer or geezerette have for today's young civil servant? What would they tell agencies to do to keep those young feds around longer?
Half-century man asks: Is knowledge really power?
Guest columnist Nick St. Amant shares a lessoned he's cleaned from 50 years in the civil service, namely good communication is vastly greater than no communication.

Originally written on Razzball Football | Last updated 11/16/14
There is a general inkling in fantasy football that the third year of a wide receiver's career can and usually is their breakout year in the NFL. Over the course of the off-season, Razzball will take a look at some wideouts heading into their third year in the league and see if they're a breakout candidate for 2013 fantasy football. This week we will review Randall Cobb. What a difference a year and an injury can make. A year after plenty of hype surrounding his rookie year as a draft day sleeper, Cobb was again touted in 2012 as the great draft day diamond in the wee round rough. And not unlike his rookie year, Cobb had a big week 1 game silencing naysayers about the sleeper hype. But a funny thing happened that changed the course of his 2012 season compared to 2011. Namely, injuries. Injuries that made the Green Bay receiving crew do a bit of a 180 from what fantasy owners have come to expect from the land of the Cheeseheads. You see, Greg Jennings lived up to his Spice Gi...

Their buy-from-you price looks quite low - you can probably do better on Amazon, albeit at a slower pace.
I think they only buy select titles. Have a look at back2cash.co.uk who will buy most non-fiction books

I used them twice. First time I got £40 for ten books... the second time because of a "system update error" I lost out on £60. Never again.
Same experience as Eric, but they stung me on my first trade. I traded in 2 books, the best was for £24. They accepted the first book and due to a "system update error" only gave me £4 for the book they originally offered me £24 for!! DO NOT USE!!

She's no stranger to a hectic schedule, and Lindsay Lohan didn't have time to adjust to London's time change before she was headed back to the States.
The "Mean Girls" actress showed up outside her hotel on Friday (April 11) en route to Heathrow Airport after arriving in the English capital the previous day.
Showing up to Indio, CA with a smile, Lindsay Lohan made her presence known at the 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday (April 11).
Leaving the Flaunt Magazine after party with her brother, Michael Lohan, the 27-year-old sported a long white gown, cut to show off her legs, under a black leather vest, grinning as she made her way out.
Following her interview on "The Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday (April 9) Lindsay Lohan jetted to the UK, and this morning (April 11) she was busy catching another flight out of Heathrow Airport in London.
The "Georgia Rule" actress wore a black wool coat with black boots and black trousers as she scurried through the terminal with a traveling companion.
Whip out your body paint and flower crowns because the Coachella Music and Arts Festival is going down in Indio, California starting today (April 11)!
The annual shindig is a fan-favorite and those who are lucky enough to snag a spot on the grassy musical heaven get the chance to enjoy amazing musicians, try new foods and check out eye-catching art. And let's not forget another key factor - the fashion!
She's starring in a docu-series for OWN called "Lindsay" and Lindsay Lohan played a joke on her network boss Oprah Winfrey on "Late Show with David Letterman" last night (April 9).
The "Mean Girls" star ended up calling Winfrey and Letterman used a phony voice to pretend he was Lohan's secretary.
Pleased to see her fans, Lindsay Lohan arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theater for the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Monday (April 7).
The "Mean Girls" star wore a black floral outfit with a white jacket and black floppy hat as she blew kisses at awaiting admirers.
Staying sober is a delicate process and during the latest episode of "Lindsay," Lindsay Lohan admitted that since rehab she's consumed alcohol.
During a conversation with sober coach AJ Johnson, the "Mean Girls" got defensive when questioned about her infamous "reaching for a bottle of wine" photo taken last year.
Letting go of some old grudges as she continues her recovery, Lindsay Lohan reportedly met her half-siblings recently.
Just a few weeks ago, the "Mean Girls" star snapped at her father Michael Lohan during her OWN docu-series, telling him, "I do not want to talk about your two other random f*cking kids. They are not part of my life, and they never will be."

Strengths: I purchased this bike ('08 Trek Fuel EX 8) used and was kept mostly stock including wheels. Went to replace a worn front bearing and realized needed a small hook spanner to disassemble the hub. Contacted Trek and they sent it to me at no charge. Thumbs up.
Weaknesses: Nipples are all falling apart. apparently others have also complained about the alloy nipples corroding and falling apart. Had to re-spoke nearly half of the front and a few on the rear. In over 20 years of riding have I ever seen nipples crumble like this.

Strengths: I own a full suspension Gary Fisher mtn bike, which came equipped with Bontrager with Race Disc tubeless rims. I had both rims crack, and the local bike shop spoke with the "Rep" and Bontrager replaced the rims at No Charge, The Cracks were visible on both rims, just looking at them. Now, my rear replacement rim has developed some serious cracks; these are on the inside of the rim; only visible when you remove the tire, tube, and fabric strip. The only way I discovered these cracks was because I had a flat tire and was re-adjusting the fabric strip.
Weaknesses: I am 67 years old, and I don't thrash my bike like a lot of younger riders to. I use my bike as a commuter, and occasional weekend warrior on some local trails or more often when I travel to central Oregon, and go up on some trails on Mt Bachelor. I only weigh 170 lbs, and I don't do any jumps or hard riding over big rocks or large logs. So the metal on these rims shouldn't crack, yet it has, and I finally replaced this rim with a different brand that my local bike shop recommended. They admitted that they have seen this happen to Bontrager rims more often than other brands.

After a catostrophic endover on the trail the front wheel was taken in for a broken nipple in Sept. 2011 and upon further inspection a crack in the rim was discovered. The wheel was still under warranty and was replaced with a complete Bontragar Rhythm Pro Scadium. I had all brass nipples installed which probabley wasn't nessasary. I never had a problem with the front nipples on the Race Lite, however, aluminum nipples do corrode and the service life is not as long as brass. Brass is a bit heavier as well.
Overall the Race Lite rims worked well on most of the terrain I rode on such as rock gardens, roots, gravel roads and single track. I give the wheel set 3 chilies for overall performance.

Food dispute triggered Ohio murder-suicide
LOGAN, Ohio An Ohio sheriff says an argument over what a terminally ill woman should be given to eat apparently triggered a shooting that left four people dead, including the gunman.
Hocking County Sheriff Lanny North said Tuesday that Paul Gilkey was upset that relatives had given his wife tea and toast after he had already peeled an orange for her.
North said the dispute over food set Gilkey off, and that during an argument he retrieved a handgun from his bedroom, then killed his own son and two of his wife's sisters Monday afternoon.
North says Gilkey's wife, 59-year-old Darlene Gilkey, witnessed the shootings from a hospital bed in the living room but wasn't hurt.
North said Darlene Gilkey is dying from cancer.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A family dispute and standoff with police ended when a man caring for his terminally ill wife apparently shot and killed her two sisters and his son before fatally shooting himself, authorities said.
A cousin said the man was upset that the relatives were keeping him from spending time alone with his cancer-stricken wife, who was not shot.
Deputies who stormed the home around 9 p.m. Monday found the man dead on the front porch and the three other bodies on the living room floor, Hocking County Sheriff Lanny North said.
Officers had been waiting outside for hours since being called about a possible hostage situation at the house amid rolling, wooded hills dotted with farmland near Logan, about 50 miles southeast of Columbus. A person who had been held hostage was able to flee, the sheriff told reporters.
The gunfire erupted after some type of family squabble, North said. It was over jealousy, said Matthew Henderson, 45, a cousin of the man.
"They - the two sisters and his son - were staying out there, and he said he couldn't spend any time with her," Henderson said.
A sheriff's dispatcher said Tuesday he had no information on the names of the victims and the shooter. The sheriff's office planned to issue a news release later in the day.
The Westerville school district in suburban Columbus identified the slain son as Leroy Gilkey, 38, a high school Spanish teacher.
Gilkey was "a very well loved and well respected teacher among students, among his colleagues and among the families that send their children to Westerville North (High School)," said Greg Viebranz, a spokesman for the school district.
Henderson said his own wife happened to call the home immediately after the shooting and spoke with the ailing woman, who said that her 63-year-old husband "shot everybody" and then went outside.
"I said, `What's he doing?' (She said) `I think he's waiting on more people to come so he could kill them,'" Henderson recounted.
The wife didn't say why she'd been spared, Henderson said. "I think he thought if he would kill her he would go to hell," he said.
Henderson said his cousin had recently bought two or three plots at a cemetery, though it didn't seem unusual for a man whose wife had terminal cancer. He described his relative as unpredictable and unstable and said that he might have taken some pills and been drinking before the shooting.

Injured Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, top, checks on Calvin Johnson as he lies on the ground after making a diving catch against the St. Louis Rams in Detroit on Sunday, Oct. 10, 2010. / JULIAN H. GONZALEZ / DFP
Jamie Samuelsen, the sports director for the morning show on WCSX-FM (94.7), blogs for freep.com. His opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the Detroit Free Press nor its writers. You can reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com, follow him on Twitter @jamiesamuelsen and read more of his opinions at freep.com/jamie.
Do you think Calvin Johnson (and other important Detroit Lions starters, for that matter) still should have been in the game when he got hurt Sunday?
I dont feel too sorry for Jim Schwartz. He makes a lot of money, and hes doing what he loves. And he has pretty solid job security, based on the mess he inherited in January 2009.
But I do sympathize with him a bit. The Lions win by their largest margin since 1995, and Schwartz has to spend his Monday news conference defending himself. When your team wins, 44-6, and virtually ices the game by halftime, youre entitled to think that the line of questioning will be rosy. But thanks to the Johnson injury, Schwartz (the defensive guru) was on defense yet again. Two major questions stuck in everyones craw.
1.) Why was Johnson out there in the fourth quarter?
2.) Why did they run a halfback pass with Jahvid Best while leading, 34-6, in the fourth?
Both fair questions. Ill defend him on the first and politely disagree with him on the second.
Johnson went down in the final quarter with 13:22 remaining and the Lions leading, 31-6. You cant just pull all of your starters like its an NBA game. Some guys still have to play. The counter to that is: Of ALL the guys on the roster aside from Matthew Stafford and (maybe) Best, shouldnt Johnson be the first guy you pull? A fair point. But Ill defend Schwartz in this regard: First, it was still pretty early in the fourth, and stranger things have happened. As you watched that game, you knew there wasn't a chance the Rams would mount a comeback. They waved the white flag pretty much the moment Stefan Logan returned the kick for the touchdown in the second quarter. But you have to remember that, as a rule, NFL coaches are paranoid and afraid. It gives them their edge. When Schwartz was hired from Tennessee, he told the story of preparing for the Lions the previous year. He said he lost sleep, fearing that the Lions would throw over his secondary all day to Johnson and that Kevin Smith would run for big chunks of yards.
Good one.
The Titans won, 47-10. Johnson caught five balls and didnt score a touchdown. Kevin Smith carried 12 times for 22 yards. The Lions lost their 12th game en route to the infamous 0-16 finish.
Translation: The Lions had a 0% chance of winning and had a 0% chance of doing anything offensively against the Titans defense. But Schwartz is a coach. And coaches always expect the worst. That helps you understand why Johnson was out there at that point. Good coaches learn from their mistakes. If the Lions are ever leading by 25 points in the fourth quarter again this season (OK, OK, bad hypothetical, but you know what I mean) hopefully, Johnson will get a ball cap for the rest of the afternoon.
As for the play call with Best? Sorry, Coach, Im not with you on that one. Not to make this all Titan-centric, but I remember a time in last year's preseason when Jeff Fisher called a crazy fake field goal in which the holder threw the ball over his head, just like Louisiana State did Saturday against Florida. Great play. Great result. But whats the point of running it in a preseason game? You just put it on film and totally wasted it. Same with the Best pass. Some people's defense for that is what I just wrote: You put it on film; now when Best sweeps to the right, opposing defenses cant converge on the ball carrier; theyll have to stay honest for fear that Best might throw it.
Not buying it. That was a team that was feeling pretty good about itself and was trying to, as Schwartz said, seal the victory. It was unnecessary because the game was over. And it was unnecessary because its ruined the surprise element moving forward.
Coaches are allowed to make mistakes, and theyre allowed to learn from them. Theres no major issue here. If Johnson had walked off the field, not a single person would wonder why he was still in there early in the fourth quarter. It is quintessential Monday Morning Quarterbacking. But thats what head coaches in the NFL are going to face after every game. Schwartz knows it. And its another reason I dont feel too bad for him.

Rated 4 out of 5�by pugchuck Good product . . . But check if really on sale I bought two boxes of these when they were on sale for 2 boxes for the price of 1. I wanted some relatively inexpensive yellow balls for two local courses where I tend to loose balls and where there are driving ranges that border holes (to distinguish my ball from errant white range balls). These balls play well for someone like me who's an average golfer. However, I noticed a week after I bought them that Dick's had began one of its periodic "Big Golf Sales." Interestingly, these balls were now "on sale" for the price of 3 for the price of 2. Not nearly as good a deal. The moral of the story is to look closely at the supposed sale price to make sure that you are getting the best deal. Not the best strategy for Dick's when people notice that the hype does not match the actual sales price. September 2, 2014

Falcons stake claim to best in NFC by beating Bucs
During the week, the Falcons seemed both amused and motivated by Morris' bold proclamations that his team was best in the conference. Afterward, they acknowledged that he made an already big contest even more fun.
"It's good for the game," Peterson said. "Some trash talking ... that just put a little more icing on it."
Freeman threw a pair of touchdown passes, the first of them set up by Micheal Spurlock's 66-yard kickoff return. Then Spurlock took it all the way to the end zone, bringing back another kickoff for an 89-yard touchdown.
The Falcons thoroughly dominated much of the game and Freeman - who had been doing a good job not turning the ball over - had a pair of interceptions. The Falcons didn't have any turnovers, marking the first time all season the Bucs gave it away more than their opponent.
Turner scored on runs of 2 and 10 yards to stake the Falcons to a 14-0 lead. Freeman cut the gap to 17-14 by halftime with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Arrelious Benn and a 58-yarder to Mike Williams.
On the third play of the second half, Freeman threw a wobbly pass under pressure from Kroy Biermann and it landed right in the arms of defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux. That set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from Matt Ryan to Palmer, the first career score for the undrafted rookie. Matt Bryant added his second field goal, pushing the Falcons ahead 27-14.
The ensuing kickoff landed between Spurlock and Maurice Stovall in an apparent mix-up. But Spurlock picked up the bouncing ball at the 11, slipped through a hole, somehow stayed inbound when kicker Michael Koenen took a dive at him along the sideline and streaked the rest of the way for the touchdown that again made a game of it.
Trying to seize on that momentum, Tampa Bay appeared to get the ball back when kicker Connor Barth recovered an onside attempt. But the Falcons challenged, and the replay showed that the ball touched Barth's left knee just before it covered the necessary 10 yards.
At the end, the Bucs came up just short again.
"We lost by a yard," rookie Gerald McCoy said. "That's what this league is about."

Sex, Meaning and the Menopause
Sex, Meaning and the Menopause
Not available
moreIn a highly-sexualised and media-hyped society, postmenopausal woman often feel pressurised to have 'great sex.' Books and websites prescribe what the menopause should be. And, if it isn't, here's how to fix it. Painful sex and mood swings can be cured by HRT.
Some women take the artificial route to remain sexually active. Others choose a natural approach, even if it means dwindling sexual desire. 'I used to seek it out. Now I endure it', said one woman. But few talk about it. 'It's far more of a taboo than talking about death', said another woman.
Fading libido can have a profound effect on relationships. 'I feel despair', said a 61 year-old husband. 'I have to accept that my sex life is more or less over.' And another: 'I have never broached this with my wife, but to think I may never have sex again is very dangerous.'
Sue explores the lived, felt experience of what it means to be postmenopausal, and looks at how it affects relationships and changes lives. less

Week 98
Day 1.The External Influence: - Our thoughts and moods are not in our control. Often, things changing around us make us think differently, or maybe just change our mood. Nature, and particularly weather affect our thoughts in a big way. Write short paragraphs on how you usually feel and what thoughts come to your mind while observing the following:
a. Thunderstorms.
b. Sunset.
c. A Dark, Rainy day.
Day 2.Own the Market: - The competition is stiff in the market for consumer products. Launching new products in the face of such competition is difficult and companies generally have to start with special offers and innovative advertising to find a foothold in the market. Imagine you are launching a new soap, health drink or any product of your choice. How will you go about marketing it? What initial offers will you give the consumer? Tell us.
Day 3.Your Take on Hi-Tech: - The present generation is taken up by various gadgets that are flooding the market. We find it difficult to imagine a life without our phones, music systems and so on. However, the negative aspects of such gadget obsession cannot be overlooked. Which according to you are the most essential gadgets, and which ones do you think we can live without? Make a list, and offer reasons.
Day 4. Death of the Author? : - Translation is an effective way of getting more people to enjoy a piece of writing. However it sometimes becomes extremely difficult to find words or proverbs in a different language which mean exactly the same as those used in the original work.
Read a poem/novel/short story in your mother tongue and then a translation of it in English or any other language. Spot the differences and write an essay on how different the translated work is from the original one.
Day 5.The Shady Side: - Most of us are afraid of something or the other. Though we don't always admit it, we can't hide it from ourselves. Think about a few things that scare you. Write an essay telling us about all such things and what is it exactly that makes them so scary.
Day 6.Debate: - We are losing all our values gradually

New Glock 19 Gen 4 Owner
Hey everyone! I am a brand new Glock 19 Gen 4 owner. At first I could not figure out which gun to buy as my first handgun purchase and watched a TON of YouTube versus videos and read a lot of message boards.
I narrowed it down between the Glock 19 and XDm 9c (3.8" barrel). I went to a gun range to rent some guns to shoot. They only had the Glock but I really liked it. After going back into the store and holding them both, it was the Glock 19 that just felt right.
I got it for $535 (best price locally) and it came with 3 mags. I bought a Safari ALS holster for it and actually posted a question about it in another forum. I also got some range ammo and some Zombie Max defensive ammo.
I will be going Monday morning to the range for some shooting. I am glad I found this forum and look forward to learning a lot from everyone!
:welcome: and congrats
Welcome and enjoy.
Congrats you will love that gun.:wavey:
Congrats on the G19 and welcome to GT!
:welcome: From Michigan!

Hawaii owes more than it owns. Truth in Accounting's (TIA) thorough analysis of state finances (below) shows Hawaii does not have enough available assets to cover its debt.
- "Taxpayer Burden" is each Hawaiian taxpayer's share of state debt, after available assets are tapped
TIA analyzes both state assets and liabilities, not merely pension debt
Most state debt in the "Taxpayer Burden" is unpaid retirement promises
Hawaii has the 5th worst "Taxpayer Burden" of all 50 states
Retirement debt is essentially a state's 'credit card balance,' showing unpaid retirement contributions from prior years
Unfunded pensions leave future taxpayers with the bill for services they did not receive
States hide retirement debt from public view. See Hidden Retirement Debt: HI vs US average 2009-2013

Or, you can simply console yourself with the fact that in these budget-conscious times, a boss who's all sloth and no action is on the fast track to pink-slip city.
In his last employee position, Barry, who's now a sales trainer and motivational speaker based in Helendale, Calif., had a well-meaning manager who was so misguided she made Michael Scott, the boss on "The Office," look like he had a clue.
Though most of her team were trying to watch their waistlines, Barry's ex-boss peppered the office with candy dishes. She also pumped in Muzak, much to everyone's dismay. But the icing on the cake, he said, was her hanging motivational posters throughout the office and requiring everyone to take a turn creating a mantra.
"She had no idea at all how to motivate people," Barry told me. "She was not a bad person, but she was in her own world. Completely annoying would probably be an understatement."
Again, I have two words for employees with equally clueless managers: workforce reduction. It happened to Barry's former boss, and if your company's cutting costs this year, there's a decent chance it will happen to yours too.
In the meantime, if you and your coworkers decide to complain to HR about any off-the-wall or overly inappropriate behavior on your manager's part, complain individually, Jansen said.
"Avoid that schoolyard approach," she advised. Better to let the complaints rack up and the evidence mount.
Then take solace in the fact that when you get promoted to a management slot, you'll know exactly what not to do.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
As animated filmmaking, Team Americadirected by Trey Parker from a script co-written with partner Matt Stone and Pam Bradyis far more audacious than any Pixar opus. It's a Bruckheimer-style action spectacle with puppets fighting, dancing, and having sex in a variety of positions while being manipulated by absurdly visible strings. From the opening shot of a French marionette show in a marionette world to the final gag of a live cockroach blasting into outer space, Team America is at once grandiose and tacky, elaborate and deflationary.
The geopolitics are brazenly insulting. Battling bin Laden's minions on the banks of the Seine, the inanely gung ho Team America commandos inflict maximal collateral damagetoppling the Eiffel Tower, pulverizing the Arc de Triomphe, and blowing up the Louvre. Then, like good Americans, they retreat to their Mt. Rushmore fortress to await further instructions from an eminently fallible supercomputer code-named I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. So much for satirizing the war on terrorTeam America has its own fear factor.
Often funny but seldom uproarious, Team America purveys a post9-11 irony that's founded on a combination of schoolyard insult, belligerent patriotism, and the absence of irony. The villains are Kim Jong Il, an irate little puppet who furnishes Arab terrorists with WMDs; Michael Moore, who appears outside Mt. Rushmore with a hot dog in each hand and a bomb strapped to his belly; and a gaggle of prominent Hollywood stars led by Alec Baldwin, head of the Film Actors Guild. So far as the latter's acronym goes: How much of Parker and Stone's anxiety is based on the fact that their songs are the movie's wittiest aspectare they closet show-tune queens?
In the service of human interest, Team America recruits a replacement commando from the Broadway hit Lease. (He's first seen singing "Everybody Has AIDS.") His job is acting, something that intrinsically amuses animators Parker and Stone. Their marionettes vomit, bleed, and explode into organ parts. Indeed, these puppets show more guts than the filmmakers, who direct their fire at very soft targets: French and Egyptian civilians, a Communist dictator, and a bunch of Hollywood showboats. Despite some pre-release Drudge-stoked hysteria regarding an "unconscionable" attack on the administration, no American politicians appear in the movie. (The movie has since garnered Fox News's seal of approval.) Nor do any media moguls. The filmmakers never satirize anyone who could hurt their careernot even Michael Moore enabler Harvey Weinstein.
True, Team America is not family friendly. Parker and Stone are so proud of their rap about the relationship among dicks, pussies, and assholes"pussies are only an inch and a half from assholes. . . . Only dicks can fuck pussies and assholes"that it's delivered twice. If war is hell, the Team Americans are dicks, Hollywood liberals are pussies (as well as F.A.G.'s and presumably "girlie men"), and terrorists are assholes. For bellicose Bush supporters, being praised as stupid dicks in a dirty-mouthed animation may be as welcome as an endorsement from Vincent Gallo. But that's only if they're looking for irony. Soulfully sung, Team America's comic faux-country ballad "Freedom Isn't Free" would have moved the RNC to tears. And although the Team America fight song may never be broadcast on the public airwaves, that's not to say that it won't get lots of play among the troops in Baghdad. "America, Fuck Yeah" is so on target that it's less a joke than a ready-made anthem.
Team America is obviously too profane and bawdythat is, too "Hollywood"for Bush's fundamentalist base or a neocon prig like Michael Medved (except perhaps late at night when he's all alone). But, fuck yeah, it's the perfect date flick for a drunken frat boy trying to impress right-wing skank Ann Coulter.

Shell's 5% Dividend Yield (Part 3): Total Return Story is Compelling
There's no sugarcoating that Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B) has been sputtering of late, compared to Exxon (XOM) and Chevron (CVX).
But there are about 25 billion reasons to suggest this isn't some apocalyptic moment.
RDS.B Net Income TTM data by YCharts
But nor is it a slam dunk. Right now Shell's 8.2 PE ratio makes it look like a screaming deal, when stacked up against the 13 PE for the S&P 500.
But it's not really all that cheap. Other than the recession-induced spike when earnings were slammed, Shell consistently sells at a sub-10 PE.
And as explained earlier, Shell is going to be spending a bunch of money the next few years putting the pieces together for its next big production surge. That doesn't suggest a lot of organic earnings growth.
A spike in oil and gas prices would sure help on the earnings front, and we're always just one international incident away from that happening. But based on pure demand, no one is expecting oil prices to jump in the next few years.
So Shell's a bit of a value trap? Quite possibly. But there's the matter of that 5% dividend yield to consider. In a world where Treasuries and high -grade corporate bonds yield 1.5%-2.5%, there are worse traps than being paid 5% for your patience.
And as disappointing as 2012 performance has been, over the past five years Shell's dividend yield -- which hasn't dipped under 4% since 2009 -- has helped it generate a better total return than Exxon-Mobil (2.6% current yield) and the S&P 500 index (2% dividend yield).
RDS.B PE Ratio TTM data by YCharts
That said, Shell gets only a middling grade for its dividend growth. It only recently raised its dividend after a three-year hiatus.
RDS.B Dividend data by YCharts
Still, over a fuller five-year stretch, its dividend has risen at more than double the rate of inflation. And with more than $18 billion in cash and a dividend payout ratio below 20% the dividend seems plenty secure.
If you're an income investor in search of yield, Royal Dutch Shell is a compelling alternative to high yield junk. And if you believe long-term there's going to be more demand for energy resources, it's hard to see how the second-largest integrated oil and gas company won't eventually profit from that as well.

Out of 100 technology CFOs surveyed by accounting firm BDO USA, 67 said they've increased spending on cybersecurity measures in the past 12 months. The findings suggest the CFO's growing role in the cybersecurity discussion, and the realization that adequate cybersecurity requires more robust tools.

CIOs can vanquish the traditional cost-cutting exacted on their budgets by using plain, non-technical language to explain the value technologies deliver to the business, said Gartner analyst Barbara Gomolski, during a session at the Gartner Symposium IT/xpo.

When it comes to Big Data, it seems corporate finance executives like to throw around the jargon, but don't really buy into the principle, according to a recent survey of 100 U.S. senior finance executives.

As CFO influence over technology spending increases, it is increasingly important that IT organizations understand the CFO perspective and work to find a common understanding of how best to leverage enterprise technology, says Guest Columnist John Van Decker. "If successful," he writes, "it will ensure that the right investments are selected to enable IT to deliver the right benefits based on the organization's goals and strategies. "

In the past few years, cyber-risk coverage has become one of the fastest-growing businesses for insurers with CFOs often responsible for evaluating policies. Cyber-insurance coverage has important limitations, however, and many CFOs aren't sure it is worth the cost.
Companies need more qualified CIOs who can fulfill both strategic and support functions within their organizations, CIO Journal Guest Contributor Arthur Langer says. Moving IT leadership to a more junior position that reports to another business unit such as finance or marketing is simply looking for trouble. It makes more sense to promote the education of CIOs and their professional accreditation and evaluation, he says.
CFOs say they are increasing their involvement in IT decision making, but that's not a knock on CIOs; it's a sign they see IT as something that can make a different in the business.
CIO Journal provides time-pressed CIOs with a definitive destination for the most relevant news and analysis, to help them connect the dots between technology trends and business strategy.

All the units of the 2,340MW Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station (CSTPS) will close down by May 15. Blame it on an unprecedented water scarcity. It means there will be more power shortage and extended load-shedding across the state (except Mumbai) this summer, energy minister Ajit Pawar told reporters at Nanded on Monday. The power station currently generates over 1900MW power.
The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company officials at Nagpur said that power cuts, particularly in rural areas, will increase in May, once the CSTPS comes to a complete halt. If the rains do not come as per schedule by the first week of June, the situation will worsen further. Currently, the duration of power cuts ranges between two hours and six hours.
The CSTPS authorities said that water level in Irai dam had tanked, forcing closure of two units. It has led to a 710MW power deficit. According to an internal assessment, the plant has just enough water to keep the remaining units running till May 15. But then, there will be a complete closure.
Chandrapur district has been badly hit by the insufficient rains last year. Irai dam, which supplies water to the state's largest thermal power station, also gives drinking water to the city and the surrounding villages. Currently, the water level in the reservoir stands at 198 metre, which is just 8% of the full capacity, an irrigation department official said. The little water left in the dam has to be preserved to meet the drinking water needs of the city.
This the first time in 15 years that water scarcity will be forcing the CSTPS to shut down all its units. In December, the power station bought water from Chargaon dam in Warora, but it was exhausted in three months.
A senior MSEDCL official said, "We had expected the water level to go down post-May 30. By that time, the rains would have been near. For the intervening period, we had made arrangements to procure 1,900MW from other stations like Dhabol and Parli. But all our calculations have gone haywire. We will now have to decide whether to purchase it from the open market, and at what rate."

Report Problem
correct procedure for advancing film
I picked up one of these cameras at a yard sale in perfect condition. It didn't come with an owners manual, so I've been proceeding with caution. I did however rip out a few of the perforations on the upper edge of the film, which I assume was caused by operator error. I'm guessing that the proper technique for advancing the film includes shifting the hexagonal knob adjacent to the film counter on top of the camera to the left. If this is correct, should it be depressed for the duration of advancing the film for the next exposure or should it be depressed and released prior to advancing the film?
