Java Programmers in the United States pull down an average of $60K per year. Final cash compensation to Java Programmers varies from around $39K to approximately $100K; choice pay grades include potential for bonuses and profit sharing as high as $9K and $25K, respectively. Geography and experience level each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Male Java Programmers far outnumber their female contemporaries among those who completed the questionnaire. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Java Programmers. Medical benefits are awarded to a large number, and a majority earn dental coverage.

Java programmers perform a number of tasks in the Java language. They perform coding and design tasks, as well as testing and implementation. These programmers must have substantial knowledge of Java, including the Java threading model, developing Java multithreaded applications, and relational database modeling and/or design. They must also perform peer code reviews, as well as effectively communicate with the project lead on any developmental efforts/concerns. Other necessary skills include understanding object-oriented design concepts and application layering. In addition to correcting any errors or deficiencies in code, they must also learn and use new technologies as they are released (if they are necessary).Read More...
A Java programmer should be able to learn quickly, multitask, and adapt quickly to changing circumstances in a fast-paced setting. They must also follow standard programming and company practices, as well as prioritize workload to consistently meet deadlines. A Java programmer should be able to work independently, but also collaborate with colleagues in a team environment; additionally, they must work with a project architect or technical lead to confirm technical designs.
Work experience in the financial industry may be helpful, but it is not always required. A mobile technology and development background may be beneficial, as may an understanding architectural concepts such as SOA, SSO, and Enterprise Service Bus.
Java Programmers report using a diverse set of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Java/J2EE, SQL, Java, and C++ are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include C# and .NET. Those familiar with Java also tend to know Java/J2EE.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $55K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $76K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Java Programmers make a median salary of $90K. For some reason, Java Programmers with more than two decades of experience report lower paychecks overall; the median sum in this group sits near $80K.

There was an article I read years ago on the different types of surge protector and why the ones with bulbs are a complete waste of money.
Have a look on google, just had a quick search but I can't find what I read years ago but you should be able to find out about the various types of surge protectors.
You will pay much more for a decent surge protector (that actually works), like £10-£20 upwards but it's worth it.
And yes you might have to reinstall/reactivate windows if you get a replacement motherboard.
Posted 26 July 2013 - 04:36
Sorry for your loss dude, (couldn't think of anything else to say, tired, sleepy and 5:30 am) hope your drives are ok, (this is one of the main reasons I drove this information into my wife about thunderstorms)
Yes, in the UK they don't always come as intense as the ones we had Tuesday, but the fact that you are asking here shows that it can happen, I feel bad for you that it happened to you, or in fact at all,
New mobo doesn't automatically mean reformat, sometimes a safe mode boot, to get windows to recognise new hardware installed can do the trick.
I remember when my 1998 (or 1999) 1 gig athlon single core blew on me in about 2002, and the mobo was too old for a replacement sempron as it and the athlon was mostly obsolete, had to buy a new board and cpu, and got (XP at that time) to boot into safe mode, then next time it booted to normal, I could install drivers for the new hardware,
I only say this as you don't need to despair, and assuming the cpu is ok and you can find another mobo same model as yours there's next to nothing to reinstall.
My main worry is the Hard Drives, if they're ok, your data is, (with mine, that's all that matters, too many family memories saved on them, and backed up just in case)
Posted 26 July 2013 - 08:10
Well that's a blow to the plan as my motherboard isn't sold any more. It annoys me as an RGB cable works fine, it's just the HDMI.
But then maybe this is the time for me to refresh the system and get something that I can add many more hard drives to, a little like a server - I should have explained, this is my HTPC.
If so, does anyone know any builders out there? I did look at Lime Tech, but I'm based in the UK Their barebones case would cost £357 all in to get it here.
Can I activate Windows on a new motherboard / system?
Posted 26 July 2013 - 14:12
OoOo, I didn't think of that.
The case will allow, I think. Will look at that as a stop gap until I save monies to get a new shuttle PC for my main desktop and a better case that will last for a good few years downstairs
I wonder what the flavour of the year is with regard to nVidia or AMD. But then I am sure both will do fine at playing 1080p stuff.
Kinda leaning towards the Sapphire HD Radion as the heat sink isn't so big but then I have no other cards in the case, just hard drives so the bigger heatsink on the nVidia would be fine I should think.

As per recent reports, it has been subjected that residents are being warned to protect themselves from contracting Hantavirus. It has been reported that Alberta Health Services (AHS) has issued the warnings, after a case of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome was confirmed at north of St. Albert.
However, no details and information regarding the infected person has been revealed, apart from that the person belonged to a rural area from AHS Edmonton zone.
It has been explained that the virus can be contracted, when a person comes in contact with fecal waste or other waste of an infected mouse. It has been suggested that the particles of the virus spread into the air and the person can be infected by that.
Dr. Marcia Johnson, medical officer of health said, "People contract it when the area contaminated with mouse droppings and mouse urine is disturbed and you end up breathing in the fine, dusty particles that are contaminated".
She added that the infection can be contracted by any age person, but majority of young people and healthy people are affected by the virus particles, as they tend to be more active in doing work.
Symptom associated with the virus includes fever, body aches, chills, abdominal problems and respiratory problems.

Rather than goose this tangent that was starting in the other games thread, I thought it might be worth some discussion on its own.
The set-up:
The response:Rosenthal has been a 9K/9 guy in his career.......in the minors. Does anyone really think he will continue at (a higher pace) that pace the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time through the league? Really?
This kind of question also arose in the Xavier Paul thread (improved BB rate in majors vs. minors sustainable or fluke?). Older school, I remember it being said about Votto's power potential (he never hit more than 22 homeruns in a season in the minors, why would anyone think he can hit 30+ in the majors arguments).Chapman's K/9 went from 12.0 in the minors to 14.3 in the majors. Rosenthal's K/9 went from 9.2 in the minors to 11.8 in the majors. I fail to see the problem.
Which leads me to this...in terms of overall minor league track record, what can be reasonably guessed about a player's major league skillset? When it comes to the majors, we have discussed at length on this board over the years with regard to a large enough sample size that a player is who he is (think discussions over whether Gomes had changed approach enough to impact OBP - spoiler - he hadn't). Generally, for the vast majority of players, with a large enough major league sample size, you know what you are going to get.
But what of a guy with a minors track record? Is it reasonable to look at a stat in the minors and project it to generally be his ceiling in the majors, a la the initial take on Rosenthal I quoted above? Or is it more of a prospect specific inquiry - meaning that blanket referrals to a minors track record as being the baseline for what to expect for that prospect in the majors are ill-taken.
For the record, I tend to fall into the second camp. I don't generally find references to what a person has done in the minors to necessarily be exactly predictive of their major league ceilings for a category, and give weight to the fact that some players will hone their craft and fully develop their talents in their major league years, improving on minor league baselines. So, in the above exchange, I don't necessarily believe that reference to Rosenthal's minor league K:9 is predictive of his ceiling for same in the majors.
Thoughts? Worth a thread? Discuss if it is!

Wins follow as offense picks up for Muskrats
The Laconia Muskrats picked up two wins this week to improve to 3-6 on the season. The Muskrats were rained out last Thursday and Friday to begin the weekend. As of yesterday the team is two behind the division leading Valley Blue Sox nine games into the season. Laconia scored only five runs in the first five games but has improved offensively scoring 19 over the last four.
Laconia split the weekend home stand, beating North Adams on Saturday and falling to Plymouth on Sunday. Saturday the Muskrats jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning on their way to a 6-2 victory. Christopher Beall (Arizona State University) went 2-4 with a home run, two RBI's, and scored two. Jordan Sheffield (Vanderbilt) gave up two runs in 3.1 innings as the Muskrats starting pitcher. Eric Freeman (Tennessee) earned the win in relief.
Sunday Laconia spotted the Plymouth Pilgrims a 3-0 in the first inning. Mariano Rivera (Iona) worked into the sixth inning, giving up six runs, four earned on eight hits, three walks, while striking out four. Laconia, down 6-3 in the bottom of the eight, plated four runs to take a 7-6 lead into the final frame. Plymouth responded with four of their own in the ninth inning to give the Pilgrims the 10-7 victory. Laconia's shortstop, Douglas Ruhlman (Seaton Hall), went 3-4 and scored two runs.
Tuesday the Muskrats traveled to North Adams to play the SteepleCats for the second time in the last three games. Laconia earned another win at the expense of North Adams, winning 5-3. Vinny Zarrillo (Rutgers) lead the offense with two hits, one RBI, and scored a run. Zarrillo, the leadoff hitter, leads the team with 12 hits, three doubles, and five stolen basses on the season. Laconia scored the first four runs before North Adams scored. The Muskrats scored the five runs on ten hits and three walks. The win is the third of the season and the second against the SteepleCats.
Wednesday fell to Vermont 7-1 for the second time in as many meetings. The Mountaineers scored 3 in the fourth inning and tacked on four more in the ninth before losing their shutout in the bottom of the ninth. Zarrillo drove in the only run, going 2-4 at the plate. Starting pitcher, Shea Spitzbarth (Molly College) gave up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight. Spitzbarth leads the team in strikeouts with 17 in 13 innings of work.
Laconia traveled to Plymouth (Mass) yesterday. The road trip continues tonight in Vermont and then Sanford on Saturday. The Muskrats host Danbury Sunday at 6:30. During the week Laconia will play in Keene on Tuesday and again Wednesday at home.

NE Wolves will share ice at Laconia Ice Arena with AHI's Fighting Spirit
LACONIA — The American Hockey Institute's New England Wolves Junior Hockey team will be playing at the Laconia Ice Arena for the 2014-15 Metropolitan Junior Hockey League season.
After three independent seasons, the Wolves have decided to take advantage of new opportunities and will field two elite Junior level teams competing in the both the Eastern Hockey League and the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League.
The top team in the EHL, composed of all post- graduate players, will remain at the Wolves' Waterville Valley facility. The new MJHL team or "Met team", featuring players in birth years 1995-1998, will play out of Laconia Ice Arena, sharing the facility with the Lakes Region's other new Junior Hockey franchise, the American Hockey Institute's Fighting Spirit.
With a new year, new leagues and a new team, the American Hockey Institute will also be making some coaching changes. Andrew Trimble, Gilford resident and owner of hockey training business Scoring Concepts LLC, has been hired as the Assistant General Manager for the program and the Head Coach for the MJHL team.
''We look forward to growing the great relationships with sponsors, players, parents, press, and all of our local hockey fans—and giving back to the Lakes Region community,'' says Trimble.
He took this position after a successful two year run at Kingswood Regional High School in Wolfeboro, where in his first year with the program, his team's posted the first winning season in 9 years and followed that with the only back to back playoff appearances in over a decade. His success in the 2012-2013 season led to him being voted as the NHIAA DII Coach of the Year and Foster's Daily Democrat "Dream Team" Coach.
He comes from a three generation Hockey family: his grandfather, Dick Trimble, was employed by the NHL for over 25 years and won the 1990-91 John J. McMullen Award for service to New Jersey Ice Hockey and his father, Rick, has published 3 successful volumes of "The Ultimate Hockey Drill Book".
Coach Trimble grew up playing in the Brick Hockey Club and ended his career at Manasquan High School as the program's all-time leading scorer, MVP of his conference, an All-Shore selection, All-Tournament for the 97′ Garden State Games, Manasquan HS Hall of Fame Award, and a selection to the 98′ NJ State Senior All-Star Game.
Trimble went on to play and serve as Assistant Captain for the Laconia Leafs Junior Hockey Team in Laconia, and NCAA Hockey for SUNY Buffalo State. Aside from his duties
with Scoring Concepts, Trimble is a Financial Advisor with Points North Financial, an independent Investment Consulting firm in Wolfeboro. He briefly played professionally for the NJ Spartans (CAHA).

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough" - Robert Capa
Yesterday morning Luka was to limping slightly and we decided enough was enough. We took him to the vet right away. Dr. McComb decided that we needed to be a bit more aggressive and so Luka was sedated and the growths removed.
Dr. McComb working on Luka.
Dr. McComb invited us to come back to see Luka after he had removed the growths. Luka was still sedated and Dr. McComb walked us through what he had done and what we should expect.
Dr. McComb and assistant Lisa treating Luka.
Seeing Luka passed out on the table was a frightening sight, and yet, I found myself with my camera in hand taking pictures. Diane explained this to Dr. McComb and team by simply saying, "We're photographers".
Later I began to reflect on experience of seeing my pet, who I love, in such a frightening situation. My reaction was to take out my camera and start taking photos. Why?
I'm not sure there is a simple answer to that question, but I believe it's because photography is an of who I am. Photography is a way for me to document, remember, share, and quantify my experiences. It's the way I tell my version of the story.
"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough" - Robert Capa
Robert Capa's famous quote is usually interpreted as the distance from camera to subject. I also think you can interpret his statement as emotional distance. I believe in putting myself close to my subject physically, and in some instances emotionally as well.
I love to travel and I've been fortunate enough to travel to India on a couple of occasions, both times for periods. India is not a place that is easy to understand. It's so rich with tradition, beauty, wealth - and poverty. How do you capture such a place in still images?
I found that I could only begin to understand India by physically walking the streets of the towns and cities, and talking to as many people as I could. I also discovered that my photos were much richer when taken after I'd spent time getting to know my subject, even if for a few moments.
The photo of the girl above was taken after I'd had a conversation with her for a few minutes. Her face tells so many stories; the contrast between her decaying teeth (poverty) and her purple scarf (the color of royalty), the contrast of her youth and her tired eyes and skin. She's begging and yet she has a smile behind her eyes - all things that would have been missed at a distance.
I met this man in Bangalore, India. I was walking the streets and saw the lines in his face and thought, "I have to photograph this man." I introduced myself and we began to talk. After a few minutes I asked him if I could take a few pictures. He gladly posed as I took several photos. Could I have captured his eyes looking straight into the lens if I'd simply shot from a distance with a long lens? I doubt it. I think the interaction paid off.
Later in the trip I asked a friend of mine to come with me as I walked through some of the impoverished areas of town. At first he balked because he thought it would be too dangerous. I told him I'd spotted a large group of kids from my hotel window, 6 stories up, and I wanted to meet them. He decided to come along.
I'll admit I was nervous as well, but I wanted to push myself and get out of my "comfort zone". I needed to explore this new world and to do that I'd need to push myself to do things outside of my normal routine.
The kids coming out to greet us.
The greeting.
We spent a few hours with these kids. It is one of my best memories of India. Although these families were living in shacks with dirt floors they had dignity and joy that I rarely see in the kids in my upper middle class neighborhood here in the US. I wanted to capture that on film and so I laughed, talked, and took pictures - all at very close range.
Later we walked through some of the other streets and found other equally amazing people.
It was a little intimidating to walk through some of these areas. But I think you have to put yourself out there and take some risks to grow as an artist. Putting myself physically close to my subjects and becoming involved with them through conversation resulted in some great results.
These images and hundreds of others like them have helped me share the experiences I've had while traveling. It's not something I do only while traveling, I try to practice this at home as well, and that brings me back to Luka and our other dog, Sammy.
We adopted Sammy about a month before Luka. Sammy came from a very abusive background and gaining her trust was not something that was easy to come by. I made a decision I'd document our journey with Sammy and Luka in order to share it with others.
I specifically wanted to document our story with Sammy and Luka to share with the workers at Arizona Rescue who had saved Sammy from certain death and honor their gift. I would document Sam's life with us.
I documented Sam's life from the first day we took her home, through all of the amazing breakthroughs, and I was finally faced with a difficult decision.
In 2006 Sammy suddenly became very ill. It was a very difficult time and I had to ask myself, would I continue to tell our story through photography? I decided I would, I wanted to document her life - even to the end.
And so through Sammy's days fighting cancer I continued to shoot. It was something that allowed me to preserve precious moments and it was cathartic. I was able to share with friends and family, who also cared about Sammy, what we were experiencing.
This is the last photo I took of Sammy, about an hour before her death.
In all of these photos I had an intent; to tell a story. Sammy's story is of a little dog who overcame her hardships to show a grown man a few things about living. A little dog who inspired a woman to save the life of another dog. It's a story of Sammy and Luka and how their funny friendship helped Diane and me realize we were made for each other. It's a rich story and one day I'll be happy to share it with you through my library of photos.
Take some time to forget about aperture values, shutter speeds, lens specifications, and techno babble. Your equipment is simply a tool that will allow you to capture something. The subject is what matters, not the tool you use.
What stories are you telling with your photos? How are you approaching your story? Are you challenging yourself to try new things? Are you close enough?
Here's a photo I took about 5 minutes ago with my iPhone; Luka giving Diane a bunch of kisses. Luka is doing great today and I look forward to many more photos of him in the future.
Sadly in August of 2009 Luka became very ill with cancer and passed away. We miss him every day. We are glad to have many photos and videos to remind us of what a wonderful companion he was. It's a reminder to cherish every moment with loved ones and the real value of getting closer.

Drinking water with a relatively high concentration of magnesium protects against hip fractures, according to results of a study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
There are considerable variations in the quality of drinking water in Norway. The researchers studied variations in magnesium and calcium levels in drinking water between different areas, as these are assumed to have a role in the development of bone strength. They wanted to examine whether there was a correlation between magnesium and calcium concentrations in drinking water and the incidence of hip fracture.
The study results show that magnesium protects against hip fracture for both men and women. The researchers found no independent protective effect of calcium.
Enrich drinking water with dolomite
The results can probably help to understand why there are so many hip fractures in Norway. It is conceivable that enriching drinking water with magnesium may reduce the number of hip fractures. To produce good drinking water and to prevent corrosion, water utility companies add lime to the water. This makes drinking water less acidic, but calcium is added to the water as a by-product.
"Perhaps water utility companies should use dolomite in addition, or as an alternative, to lime. Dolomite contains both magnesium and calcium, while lime contains only calcium carbonate", says Cecilie Dahl, a research fellow at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
More research will yield more reliable results
No one has previously examined the relationship between calcium / magnesium and hip fractures in this way. The results may be limited by a component in drinking water that scientists have not included in their analysis and that is strongly associated with magnesium is the underlying cause of hip fractures.
"The protective effect of magnesium was unsurprising but the correlation between cal

Green Lake - Thirty years ago, a bunch of 18-year-old kids car-pooled to Green Lake, pitched tents in cornfields and spent three glorious days playing a golf course with a strange name: Lawsonia.
Last week, one of those kids, now a 48-year-old golf writer, returned to the Golf Courses of Lawsonia - there are two of them now - and teed it up on the original Links Course.
Though I have played hundreds of courses since, my opinion of the Links hasn't changed. Simply put, it's among the top three or four public-access golf courses in Wisconsin, not counting Whistling Straits.
If you haven't made the 90-minute drive from Milwaukee to tackle the 74-year-old gem, built on Victor Lawson's farm by the highly regarded architectural team of William Langford and Theodore Moreau, put it on your must-play list.
The Links Course has been ranked among the "Top 100 Classical Courses in America" by Golf Week magazine. It's unique in that it's an inland links, with generous fairways framed by golden fescue rough, huge roller-coaster greens protected by steep-faced bunkers and a "wow" factor on nearly every hole.
A 1908 graduate of Yale, Langford formed a partnership with Moreau, a civil engineer, in 1918. They built Lawsonia for $250,000 and it opened on May 10, 1930.
Langford believed, as did many Golden Age architects, that par should be protected near the green and as a result, the Links Course at Lawsonia might be the most interesting in the state from 60 yards and in.
Accordingly, you must use your imagination to steer clear of trouble and work the contours of the greens, whether you decide to pitch your ball, bump-and-run it or putt from closely shaved fairway run-ups.
Many of the greens are perched on shelves with severe drop-offs on one or more sides. The bunkers are enormous and are to be avoided, unless you enjoy blasting over a vertical face to a putting surface 15 feet above your head.
No. 7, a 161-yard par-3, is famous for the box car buried beneath its green, which is set on a diagonal to the tee. The difference between flagstick locations in the front-left and back-right corners is two clubs, but the play in any case is to the middle. Just try to steady your nerves and get your ball somewhere on the putting surface.
The box car isn't the only quirky design element. The second hole, a 431-yard par-4, features a blind tee shot between cross bunkers. No. 10 is a 239-yard par-3 that requires a driver or 3-wood by most resort golfers.
Nobody would design a course like that today, but the holes flow so well you don't even notice the oddity.
No. 8 is a great short par-4 of 339 yards. The hole doglegs right but big hitters who try to cut the corner wind up in the fescue, with an awkward angle to an elevated green protected by a moat bunker.
No. 14, an intimidating 154-yard par-3, is cut through pines and the green is the only one on the course surrounded by trees. It's also among the prettiest holes in the state.
The greens have so many dips and ridges, it's almost impossible to find a putt longer than 5 feet that doesn't break. You can bust 280-yard drives all day at Lawsonia, but if you can't chip and putt you have no chance to shoot a decent score.
The course measures 6,764 yards from the tips but few golfers should play it from there. From the middle tees, it's 6,466 yards but seems to play much longer.
One minor complaint is that there are only three sets of tees. A fourth set at about 6,100 yards would make the course much more playable for the high-handicap golfer.
Also, the practice range, squeezed into a small space along the first fairway, is inadequate. There are plans to replace it.
Still, I've reviewed 63 courses since 1999 and only one, Whistling Straits, earned a higher rating with 67 points. University Ridge matched Lawsonia's point total of 64.5.
I've outgrown sleeping in cornfields. I'll never outgrow Lawsonia.

I've never cared for coffee, which contains far more caffeine than cola, but I like getting as hyped up on stimulants as legally possible. As a result, I consume almost as much Diet Pepsi as my dad consumes regular Pepsi.
And while I live in another state half the year, I insist (for reasons my therapist and I are trying to work out) on buying all of my soda in New York - so, considering that my budget is already stretched to its limits, a tax on diet soda would hamper my ability to stay awake for days at a time watching music videos from the mid-1990s on YouTube.
But enough about controversial soda-tax proposals. The point I've been trying to get to (in the most convoluted, illogical way possible) is that despite all the caffeine I consume, and despite my ability to stay awake for hundreds of hours straight when not doing anything productive, I have an irritating habit of falling asleep whenever I have work to do.
It's not that I suffer from narcolepsy - it's that my natural response to unpleasant tasks (like writing a 20-page paper about Ralph Waldo Emerson's poetry, for instance, or getting out of bed in the morning) is to slip into unconsciousness, no matter how wired I am. And my bouts of escapist slumber aren't limited to the comfort of my room.
I've passed out at kitchen tables, in library carrels, and - as a graduate student - in the office I share with nine/ten other people. More than once, I've awoken with a start - facedown on a desk littered with empty Diet Pepsi bottles, a sheet of paper glued to my cheek with drool - to find my office lousy with other grad students, all acting like they didn't hear me muttering lines from It's a Wonderful Life in my sleep.
But even such humiliating moments haven't cured me of my problem. In fact, such moments exacerbate the problem, because, in order to escape the humiliation, I simply fall back asleep.
The only thing that might cure me would be if the government passed a "napping in inappropriate places at inappropriate times" tax. Because if there's one thing that's been proven to rid people of their vices again and again, it's putting a tax on - or, even better, outlawing - those vices.

Connection flightFeb 22, 20152Hello! I land at JFK this summer into terminal 4 wih delta from London Heathrow. I need to get a connection to Miami, I land at Jfk at 1:30 there is a delta connection at 3:30 in the same terminal or and American airlines connection in a completely different terminal at 4:30. I would rather the delta connection but is it realistic that I will make it? Many thanks!JaySun, Feb 22Yes, it would be possible. You can check in online for your second flight before you leave London.ZAPSun, Feb 22
AMM - JFK - SFO - Enough time for connection?Feb 4, 20151Hi - I am flying from Amman (Jordan) to JFK. I have 1 hr 40 min for a connecting flight to SFO. Is this enough time to clear customs etc and connect? Do I have to recheck my bags? Thanks!SKC3000Wed, Feb 4
Layover time?Feb 3, 20150Hi, everyone! :) I'm flying from Tel-Aviv to JFK via El-Al and then taking a connecting flight to Chicago with JetBlue. There's a two-hour window between the flights - will that be enough to make it from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5? Is there anything I should do to prepare beforehand?D.K.Tue, Feb 3
Arrive JFK 6 am and leave at 9 pmJan 21, 20152With a layover like this I would like to get the best idea to see at least one or two sights of NYC. I don't need it to take up 15 hours, just every 6 or 7 hours. Any jump-on-jump-off buses or reasonable taxi rides to see something fun. Because after that it is another 11 hour flight, so want to see something. Since Broadway doesn't do afternoon shows, I am now at a loss. Any ideas?katbirdWed, Jan 21I would take the AirTrain into manhattan - A taxi is $60 each way and takes longer. You could do a jump on jump off bus or just get off the train at penn station and walk around. There's lots to see and do. You could go to a museumZAPWed, Jan 21
Almost 8 hours layoverJan 24, 20153Hi, We were just informed that our schedule was changed, so instead of having a layover of 1h 18m we will now have almost 8 hours. So now we are not afraid to miss the connection, but we have too much time... We are going Toronto -> JFK -> Munich -> Cluj. Do we need to get our bags and re-check them? I think not, since we bought the tickets together, but just wanted to make sure. Also, will this layover provide enough time for a short trip in NY? Or better stay around the airport? Thank you, AdrianaAdrianaFri, Jan 16No, you will not have to claim your bags, you will pre-clear US Immigration and Customs in TOronto. It's a little over an hour on the AirTrain and LIRR or Subway into to NYC. So you could have 2 or 3 hours walking around there. There's not much to see around the airport.ZAPFri, Jan 16are you sure? I have a flight from Toronto with a 12hour layover at JFK next week and was told by Delta that I must claim my bags and re-check them. I am flying to Grenada with an overnite layover at JFK, but the entire flight is with one carrier - Delta... if I do not have claim by bags this is great news. Can you confirm? thankslauramacSat, Jan 24
18 hours layoverJan 20, 20154I have a 18 hours flight connection time. arriving on T4 and probably departing from T5 (JetBlue airplane), any ideas where I can sleep for a while in the airport? because I don't have a US visa to let go outside the airport.gabrielWed, Jan 14What country are you a citizen of. If you are a citizen of a Visa Waiver country you can go where ever you want. If you are not a citizen of a visa waiver country, you need a Transit Visa, even if you don't plan on leaving the airport. A Transit Visa does allow you to leave the airport as long as you are in transit.ZAPWed, Jan 14Thank you. the US embassy told me that I don't need a transit visa or any other document except my passport to stay in airport during layover time. Do they give me a transit visa in JFK airport?gabrielThu, Jan 15The United States does not have Visa upon arrival. If you are a citizen of a visa waiver country they just check your passport. Please answer the question "what country are you a citizen of?" and I can help you more.ZAPFri, Jan 16

Long LayoverNov 24, 20141Hello! I have a 19 hour (yes, not a typo) layover in JFK before heading across to Johannesburg. Can I leave the airport? How long before my flight should I come back? Do I have to pick up my checked baggage if the flight TO JFK is domestic but the flight AWAY is not? Thank you!!buggerMon, Nov 24Yes, you can leave the airport. You should be back at the airport 2 hours before your flight. Yes, considering the length of your connection you will probably have to pick up your baggage at JFK after your first flight and bring it back later. The only possible exception might be if you are arriving in the early morning and departing in the late evening of the same day. Ask the agent in your origin city.ZAPMon, Nov 24
Collecting bags at layover from ArgentinaNov 1, 20141We'll be flying from Buenos Aires to Boston but have a layover at JFK. Do we collect our bags there to take them through customs? We maybe choose to take the train home from JFK instead of continuing our flight.mdhSat, Nov 1
Layover timeOct 27, 20141I am arriving to JFK terminal 5 with jetblue 1733 at 8:30 PM, and I have a flight with Lufthansa LH405 from terminal 1 at 10:10 PM and I have checked bags, is that enough time layover ? Thank youATMon, Oct 27Did you purchase tickets separately or together? If together then JetBlue and Lufthansa have an interline agreement and your bags will be tagged through to your final destination. All you will have to do is take the AirTrain from T5 to T1, get your Lufthansa boarding pass if you don't already have it, and go through security. You should have enough time to do that. If you purchased separate tickets you will have to wait to claim your bags from JetBlue and you may not have enough time to make your connection.ZAPMon, Oct 27

I don't have a connecting flight, just want to avoid a hotel charge for a wasted night anyways because after the long flight I would only want to sleep. If I can, where can I stay, will there be security around all the time, will it be heated as this would be in november. ThanksDDSFri, Oct 17

MP gets orders to Iraq
Jenny Collins is dealing with the inevitable mixed emotions as her husband, Staff Sgt. Michael Collins of the Indiana National Guard, prepares to leave for duty in Iraq.
Michael Collins spent 11 years on active duty in the Army. The couple's first child, 15-year-old Ty, was born in Panama. Their second, 12-year-old Evan, arrived in Alaska.
So the family knows all about military life, but it has never faced anything quite like this — a year, at least, of separation. The Collinses also have an Evansville-born daughter, Audrie, 5.
"I know this is my husband's destiny. It's what my husband's about. This is him," Jenny Collins said Saturday at Michael's going-away party at the Fraternal Order of Police camp. "But I'm a little worried, too. I've got three kids to raise."
Michael Collins is a military policeman with the 193rd Brigade Liaison Team based in Indianapolis. The unit's 13 members, who include six MPs, five specialists and two clerks, will work in prison security.
They will be stationed at Camp Victory in Baghdad.
"When we got our orders, there were 18,000 (prisoners at Camp Victory)," Michael Collins said. "When we get there, there could be 30,000."
Security is the unit's primary role, but there will also be work with Red Crescent (Iraq's version of the Red Cross) and maybe even a role in helping Iraq's fledgling judicial system.
Another member of the unit, Capt. Matt Hanson, is circuit court judge for Morgan County, Ind.
"I see us as the anti-Abu Ghraib squad," Hanson said with a laugh. "That's a goofy way of putting it."
Collins is a Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department deputy working in court security.
He's trained at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., so he feels he's as ready as he could possibly be for what lies ahead.
"I've gotten a lot of input from people there (in Iraq,)" Collins said. "I may not be up to speed, but I'm not lagging too much behind."
Michael Collins is a Central High School graduate. He worked as drill sergeant in Alabama for a few years before deciding to leave active duty and return home to Evansville.
Collins joined the sheriff's department and the National Guard.
"We wanted a little slower pace," said Jenny Collins, a deputy controller for city government.
It hasn't been quite as slow as anticipated. After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Michael Collins was urged by friends to return to active military duty. He didn't, but his National Guard service will take him to Iraq later this summer.
He'll leave Evansville May 28 for Indianapolis, followed by Fort Bliss, Texas, and then the Middle East.
Jenny Collins knows what military departures are like. Her brother, Richard Dauphin, is an active duty soldier on his second tour in Iraq.
"When my little brother was there the first time, I literally had anxiety attacks. I'm real protective of him. I'm his big sissy," Jenny Collins said.
Her nerves have calmed some since then, and she said the experience with her brother might in some way help as she prepares to see her husband off.
"I know he's just doing what he has to do," Jenny Collins said.
Jenny Collins' father, too, also might be bound for Iraq. Louis Dauphin is part of Evansville's 163rd Field Artillery Division of the Indiana National Guard. They could deploy again next year.
Attention Saturday, though, was focused on Michael Collins.
Red, white and blue balloons and streamers decorated tables. Grills steamed, music played and a cake with Collins' picture on it waited to be served. Children ran every which way.
Most members of Collins' unit have young children. Hanson and his two children, ages 5 and 2, drove from Martinsville, Ind., for Saturday's party.
"We'll lean on each other a lot, especially at Christmas and at (children's) birthdays," Hanson said. "We'll make it. It's a good group, good guys."

MIDDLEBURY — Addison County residents and Middlebury College students have filled four buses to go to the People's Climate March taking place in New York City this Sunday, Sept. 21. They will be joined by others commuting by train, vans and car pools. More than 900 Vermonters and students from Vermont colleges are expected at the march.
MIDDLEBURY — The Kelly Brush Century Ride Powered by VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations drew more than 700 riders to its Sept. 6 ride and raised $320,000 for adaptive athletic equipment for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to improve ski racing safety.
BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Facilities Advisory Committee is conducting weekly tours of Mount Abraham Union Middle/High School in Bristol on Wednesday evenings. The tours start at 6:30 p.m. in the school lobby.
The tours began Sept. 10 and continue every Wednesday until Oct. 15.
During the summer the Facility Advisory Committee conducted several community engagements at the school and found building tours to be a very effective way to get community members through the doors.
ADDISON COUNTY — When voters in Addison County go to the polls for the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 4, they will have several contested races for Vermont House seats.

Democratic candidates for the Addison-1 (Middlebury) House seat:
WEST HAVEN — Middlebury driver Todd Stone clinched both his second straight Devil's Bowl Speedway track title and NASCAR Vermont state championship on Sunday with two fourth-place finishes in the track's top Bond Auto Parts Modified division.

ADDISON COUNTY — In recent high school soccer action, the Middlebury Union girls improved to 4-0 for the first time in at least two decades, the Tiger boys broke into the win column, and the Mount Abe girls moved over .500, but the Vergennes and Otter Valley girls and Eagle boys came up short. The VUHS boys were idle earlier this week.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men's soccer team won twice last week to improve to 2-0-1, 1-0-1 in NESCAC play. The Panthers will host league foe Bowdoin on Saturday at noon.
On Sept. 10, Middlebury's Adam Glaser scored twice and added an assist as Middlebury posted a 4-0 home victory over Norwich, outshooting the Cadets, 22-2.
Middlebury scored 13:43 into play. Glaser set up Luis Echeverria's first career goal on a give-and-go play that started just outside the Cadet box.
MILTON — Six members of the Sodbusters Horseshoe Club claimed state titles at the Vermont State Horseshoe Pitching Tournament held in Milton this past Saturday and Sunday.
Some familiar names were at the top of the leader board, including Men's Class A champ Brian Simmons and Women's Class A champ Debra Brown, who were both undefeated.

Barnes & Noble declines to sell Amazon-published titles…sort of
February 1, 2012 | 2:20 am
By Chris Meadows
Barnes & Noble has announced it will not be carrying Amazon-published titles in its stores. B&N chief merchandising officer Jaime Carey issued a statement saying that the company was taking a stand against "Amazon's continued push for exclusivity", and that B&N didn't get many requests for Amazon titles anyway.
So, Carey said, if B&N customers want Amazon titles, they'll just have to order them online at bn.com. Um, what?
Look, guys, if you're going to take a principled stand, go all the way. Decline to carry the titles on your web store too. I'm sure there are plenty of books stocked in the web store that don't end up in brick and mortar stores just for lack of space.
B&N is making a lot of noise, but then turning around and trying to have its cake and eat it too. I predict this principled stand will last only until Amazon comes out with a best-selling title that everyone wants to get their hands on. Then watch B&N turn around and carry Amazon titles after all, "bowing to overwhelming customer demand" or some such excuse.
What ails Sweden's book world?
The pros and cons of buttons on e-readers (for page-turning)
Furor over Amazon review policy probably signifies nothing
Amazon revamps its rating calculations, favoring helpful, recent reviews of verified purchases
Barnes & Noble taps new CEO as revamped B&N e-commerce site hinders access to e-books
I guess, for now they just don't want to serve as a showroom for people who would look at the books at B&N and then go and buy these in ebook format at Amazon.
Seems logical to me.
A storm in a teacup, all it shows is that B&N believes that Amazon's author portfolio isn't worth a hill of beans at present. No doubt if they managed to sign on James Patterson as opposed to James Nobody you can expect B&N to come up with creative reasons to make a u-turn. Obviously it is in B&N's interest to prevent this possibility as much as they can so this move was pretty much inevitable.
More intriguing is the reference to their own bricks & mortar shops as 'store showrooms'. Hmm…

Hello- I believe this is one of the best genealogical web sites there is. Others usually just list names and dates. F.A.G. offers so much more. It becomes personal. I go to the cemeteries and take pictures so that those who cannot go can still visit their loved ones. It is also great for those finding their roots. No one should be forgotten. I want to thank all the folks who took the time to visit my virtual cemeteries, especially my Father and Mother, Michael Fedoush Jr. #12235346, and Pauline Fedoush #12235351. Peace to all of you.
If you request a memorial transfer I will be glad to do so but please state your relationship, and use the edit tab, that way all the information I need to make the transfer will be there.

Hi Rich, my name is Susan Shepeta. I have just started doing genealogy on my husbands family. I believe that Joesph W Shepeta is one of my husbands Uncles. I know my husbands father Henry J Shepeta had two brothers George and Joesph and possibly 1 sister. Do not know her name. I know they were born in Pittsburg PA. I'm just hearing that the 4 of them were given up for adoption when they were very young. Could you please share any info you might have on the family if you are related or if you are just a contributor to this site. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!

Finally, it's not only a matter of where people are moving, but who is moving; the two largest groups in the U.S. right now are Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, and the Millennial generation, born between 1979 and 1996. They combine to represent more than 160 million people—a full 50 percent of the population. That has stunning implications for the future of our cities; as Boomers live longer (and look to downsize) and Millennials reach maturity and strike out on their own, research shows both sets are eschewing the suburbs for city centers.
So now that we know the score, what do we do? With our cities becoming more diverse and less dispersed, the challenge is to ensure a balance between our food, water and energy needs while making sure we maintain the simple majesty of our coastlines, rivers and prairies, for ourselves and our children. The Nature Conservancy is meeting that challenge using three proven strategies:
- Water funds are voter-approved investments in the protection of local water resources; with four distinct models, the Conservancy has used them in cities across the U.S. and Latin America. New York City famously invested in the Catskill Mountains to protect a secure source of safe, clean drinking water that now serves more than eight million people, while San Antonio and Austin, Texas; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and other cities have also made investments to protect the sources of their water.
- Hurricane Sandy has brought the idea of coastal resiliency into sharp focus—we know that it's critical to protecting the low-lying areas along our nation's coastline and the millions of people who reside in and around those areas. I wrote extensively about coastal resiliency in my previous blog; projects such as oyster reef and marshland restoration can help restore coastlines and mitigate the effects of erosion.
- We are also focused on developing and expanding urban forests in cities across the country. Whether it's a city park, a converted lot or a neighborhood with extensive tree cover, an abundance of native growth can contribute to a healthier city—residents have access to green space, trees help reduce air pollution and smog, and children can experience the simple joys of nature that abound outside their doors.
These strategies address real, tangible issues our cities are facing, while allowing us to honor the obligation we have to future generations and respect the innate connection we all have to nature. They also lend support to a simple truth that is often overlooked: conservation and a healthy economy go hand in hand. Without clean air and reliable water resources, businesses cannot prosper and plan for the future. Healthy families can't thrive. And our country ultimately cannot flourish. Though most people plot conservation on one end of the spectrum and a healthy economy on the other end, I maintain that we can not only have both, we need both. Within 50 years, the demands on our water, our land and our energy will be untenable unless we invest today in smart development and even smarter conservation efforts.
