EPA Homeland Security Research: About this Issue
A Note from EPA's National Program Director for Homeland Security Research
The images that most people associate with homeland security are immediately dramatic: the flashing lights of emergency vehicles, biohazard-suit-clad decontamination teams, and the now iconic scenes that unfolded during the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Since that time, EPA scientists and engineers, working collaboratively with Agency emergency response and field personnel, water utility professionals, and research partners from across the federal government and beyond, have been working vigilantly to focus our collective response on making the nation more secure, better prepared, and increasingly resilient.
Together, this great team is helping advance national security in ways that greatly enhance our capacity to detect, deter, and respond to terrorist incidents and other catastrophes. And we are doing so in ways that not only advance homeland security, but build a scientific foundation that helps local communities become more resilient in the face of disruption, be it a deliberate act or unwelcome natural occurrence.
EPA plays a critical role in protecting the nation's drinking water and the related water distribution and treatment infrastructure, and in advancing the capability to respond to, and clean up from, large-scale incidents involving chemical, biological, or radiological contamination agents.
Such responsibilities include developing the tools, methods, and techniques needed to: determine whether an attack has happened, characterize the impacts of environmental disasters, and control contamination. In addition, EPA researchers work to develop ways to assess environmental and health risks related to these incidents and clean up operations, and to effectively communicate those risks with, decision makers, affected community residents, and other stakeholders.
Just a small sampling of that collaborative effort is highlighted in this issue of EPA's Science Matters. Highlighted are stories about how EPA researchers and their partners are exploring ways to decontaminate buildings from the bacteria that causes anthrax, developing models and protocols on how to better monitor and protect drinking water supplies and pipelines, and how to better support large-scale clean up and waste disposal operations following a large area contamination incident.
Those projects and others are improving the nation's response capability and helping replace pictures once dominated by tragedy and destruction into an ongoing story of resiliency and preparedness. I invite you to read the following stories, and continue to learn more about EPA homeland security research on our web site at: http://www.epa.gov/nhsrc/index.html.

Towards a New Economic Strategy for America – Steps We Can Take in 2010
Publish Date:7/23/10
The economy today is finally no longer shedding jobs, but as millions of out-of-work Americans know, businesses are creating new jobs at only an anemic rate. The recent failure by Congress to pass a "jobs bill" with modest and economically-necessary provisions illustrates that, despite all of the disturbing economic data to the contrary, there is not yet broad consensus and policy and political framework for doing more to stimulate job creation.
In a memo entitled, "Towards A New Economic Strategy for America - Steps We Can Take in 2010," we argue that the American economy, in addition to facing dramatic cyclical economic weakness in the Great Recession, is going through large structural changes that call into question the ability of traditional strategies to drive broad-based prosperity. The memo reviews the structural and cyclical forces holding down U.S. job creation and presents a political and policy framework for addressing them in the near term. We argue that America needs a long-term economic strategy, and, that as a down payment on such a strategy, Congress should pass the following five provisions as soon as possible:
- Aid States and Localities and Extend Crucial and Expected Benefits
- Cut Payroll Taxes to Stimulate Demand and Create Jobs
- Provide the Existing Workforce with Free IT and Internet Based Skill Training Through our Community College System
- Create a Housing Stability Loan Program
- Create Local Jobs and Innovation Centers

The Scot has been in charge at Villa Park since the summer of 2012 and spent his first season at the club waging a battle against relegation from the Premier League.
A run of five wins in the final 10 games was enough to keep Villa in the top flight, but another fight to avoid the drop appears in store this season.
Villa's four-game losing streak was halted by a 1-1 draw with Swansea City on Saturday, but Lambert's side are only four points outside the relegation zone.
Just two victories from 10 home games have also led to murmurs of discontent and Lambert is aware that he cannot take his job for granted.
"I've got a good relationship with Randy, but that doesn't mean I'm immune to it," he said.
"I always have that fear. I always had that fear as a footballer and I always do when I'm the manager. I think you've got to have that.
"It's been the same at every club I've managed.
"I don't think it will get any tougher than what happened last year and he was great with me then. I spoke to him last night and he's been good now as well.
"We have a plan. Randy has been great on that front.
"But I feel we're a million miles from where I want to go. I also know it is a long road but it is a challenge I relish."
Lambert acknowledged the importance of picking up a point against Swansea, particularly in the absence of influential trio Christian Benteke, Ron Vlaar and Jores Okore.
He added: "It's a game that you'd love to win, but a point stops that sequence of losing, which was vital for us.
"We're without big players, and it's a lot for us to carry. We're a young squad and when you lose people like Benteke, Vlaar and Okore, it's a big chunk of our spine.
"We (his management team) have only been here 17 months and I knew the first few years was going to be really tough, but we're halfway there when you look at the table. It's a big point."

The Trouble With Assessing 'Black Films'
By editor
Originally published on Sat December 28, 2013 6:54 pm
This year was lauded by many news outlets as an incredible year for black films. CNN heralded "Hollywood's African-American Renaissance;" The New York Times called 2013 a "a breakout year for black films." Shani Hilton, deputy editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed, talks to NPR's Arun Rath about why she think those assertions are overstated.

NISKAYUNA Putting on your dancing shoes might be a good idea before going to Niska-Day this year.
One of the biggest annual community celebrations in the Town of Niskayuna is set to entertain, fill bellies and even offer a glimpse into the town's water and sewer operations.
"Niska-Day is a great celebration in Niskayuna," Town Supervisor Joe Landry said. "It started out as a small event and has grown large and has grown to one of the largest events in Niskayuna."
Niska-Day 2012
The 31st annual Niska-Day on Saturday, May 19, has a "Dancing Fun" theme that aims to have you on your feet while enjoying the event. People will be able to learn Salsa moves to the sultry music of Nuevo Mundo and later the Rock n' Roll rhythm will beat strong with Mud Bug Uprising. Throughout the day there will be several dance demonstrations from local dance studios, too.
"Not much has changed in terms of format, except for location of main activities," William Leader, co-chair of the Niska-Day Committee, said. "Why tinker with something that isn't broken? The community seems to enjoy the format of the day."
From parade to fireworks
Kicking off the event at 10 a.m. at the corner of Union Street and Cornelius Avenue is a parade with marching bands, many creative floats, fire trucks, Girls Scout and Boy Scout troops, schools groups and community organizations. See page 8 for the parade route.
Councilwoman Denise Murphy McGraw said she looks forward to walking in the parade and tossing candy into the crowd.
"My favorite part of the event is both the tossing of candy in the parade and watching the kids catch it," McGraw said. "There is an art and strategy to the candy tossing in the parade route."
During the parade there will also be people pushing grocery carts, though they aren't going to the market.

Johns Hopkins researchers have created a synthetic protein that, when activated by ultraviolet light, can guide doctors to places within the body where cancer, arthritis and other serious medical disorders can be detected.
The technique could lead to a new type of diagnostic imaging technology and may someday serve as a way to move medications to parts of the body where signs of disease have been found. In a study published in the Aug. 27-31 Online Early Edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers reported success in using the synthetic protein in mouse models to locate prostate and pancreatic cancers, as well as to detect abnormal bone growth activity associated with Marfan syndrome.
The synthetic protein developed by the Johns Hopkins team does not zero in directly on the diseased cells. Instead, it binds to nearby collagen that has been degraded by various health disorders. Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, provides structure and creates a sturdy framework upon which cells build nerves, bone and skin. Some buildup and degradation of collagen is normal, but disease cells such as cancer can send out enzymes that break down collagen at an accelerated pace. It is this excessive damage, caused by disease, that the new synthetic protein can detect, the researchers said.
"These disease cells are like burglars who break into a house and do lots of damage but who are not there when the police arrive," said S. Michael Yu, a faculty member in the Whiting School of Engineering's Department of Materials Science and Engineering. "Instead of looking for the burglars, our synthetic protein is reacting to evidence left at the scene of the crime," said Yu, who was principal investigator in the study.
A key collaborator was Martin Pomper, a School of Medicine professor of radiology and co-principal investigator of the Johns Hopkins Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence. Pomper and

This article originally appeared on the Huffington Post.
Coincidence? Last night I wrote an e-mail to a nice woman roughly my baby boomer age answering her "should I put my business on Facebook?" question with a polite "probably not." This morning I see Michael Gray's post Web 2.0 Weenies and Bulls**t Social Media Economics. I think it's more synchronicity than coincidence. (Side note: Give Michael credit for that plain-talking title, and me the blame for putting asterisks into it.)
My e-mail exchange was a response to a column I wrote about social media for business. I went to this woman's website and liked it; a kind of quirky, cotton-related store, a slightly old-fashioned look and feel to it, but it also told a story of how she'd come to get into selling cotton goods, and the whole thing worked pretty well. Here's what I told her:
Having a Facebook page isn't hard to do. That alone, however, won't make much difference at all. You have to use that to make people know, like and trust you. And that takes a lot of time and effort, and not just by the web developers, but by the personality at the core, namely, from what I read on your website, you. You have the makings of it. You clearly understand how to tell a story about your business and to put yourself into it. But is this what you want to do every day, for several hours a day?
Michael's post (the Weenies and Bulls**t link above) gets to the point quicker. And he's straighter about it.
Social media is filled with false gods and idols, who try to sell you their own "secret sauce" in get-rich-quick schemes, and hundreds are duped by the lure of easy money. The truth is if you approach social media with a cookie cutter plan from one of these gurus, it won't work for you. I can't tell you the secret of making money; I can only tell you what works for me. And chances are since you don't think and approach problems the way I do, they won't work for you. The best I can do is give a you some basic pointers and tell you where the cliffs are so you don't walk off. After that you'll have to get off your butt, work at it and fail more than once, if you want to make some money.
Sad but true; Michael's very cynical view is also spot on. And you see it over and over again. The real booming business in Web 2.0 and social media is the boom in people writing, speaking, blogging about Web 2.0 and social media for business.
It's sort of like signing up for a toll-free telephone number and discovering, soon after, that it doesn't ring. Nobody calls without the whole time and effort involved in making them call.
John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing does a great speech that boils marketing down to "getting people to know, like and trust you." A Facebook page, a Twitter account or a blog can't do anything more than give you a forum. You have to have something to say–and more than just once–to make that matter. It takes time and effort.
And, no, I'm not selling expertise. I am in fact blogging, tweeting, and struggling with Facebook and LinkedIn, and enjoying it thoroughly, but I'm not sure there's a business payoff. I do it because I like doing it.

Rutherford County is reading country
It's time we herald a very special but overlooked benefit of living here.
We're a veritable utopia for bookworms!
I should know; I've been addicted to reading all my life. And I can tell you our county has all the necessary traits conducive to curling up with a good book.
First and most obvious, there's access to libraries.
I recently compared how many there are in Rutherford County compared to the county we moved from in Colorado. It's almost even, with 10 branches in the Jefferson County, Colorado public library system and seven in Rutherford.
However, Rutherford County is considerably smaller in square miles, so access to a library is generally closer here. My own family no longer has to drive four miles to check out a book; we can just walk four blocks to the Spindale Library.
Actually, such a stroll is possible in several of our county's towns where the libraries are located right on or near their respective Main Streets. And whoever's in charge of marketing Rutherford County to prospective residents should make a point of mentioning this.
There's something so classically All-American about a leisurely walk to the town library.
Most of our libraries also have regular story times and summer reading programs. A friend of mine says her little boy so loves Mrs. Amberleigh's story time at the Spindale Library he plans his whole week around it.
I was thinking wistfully the other day that come this fall, Sage and I won't be attending these anymore. He'll be in kindergarten. But then I was told about the "Battle of the Books" contests in our elementary and middle schools where students compete to correctly answer questions about different books.
And you thought Soccer Moms were intense. I'm already envisioning myself cheering loudly for Sage after he correctly guesses the rat's name in Charlotte's Web.
Rutherford County is also a treasure trove of well-preserved vintage and antique books. My own collection is small but growing, thanks to our thrift stores and library book sales.
I'm particularly proud of my latest acquisition, a 10-set vintage volume of art books, complete with vividly colored illustration plates. The stock of paper is clearly superior to what such a set would be printed on today.
I got it for practically free at the Rutherford County Library book sale.
Other finds include a vintage copy of the complete works of Kipling, an antique Latin grammar book, an antique copy of Aesop's Fables, and many vintage school books, including a 1940's North Carolina history book for children.
This is just a sampling of some of the literary treasures I've found. It doesn't even include the dozens of issues I've added to my collection of vintage magazines.
As I immerse myself in this reading material from bygone eras, I think about writing a book myself one day. Perhaps one that takes place in North Carolina's storied past or even Rutherford County's.
Funny, but I never considered writing a novel before moving here. Then again, I'd never written a newspaper column before, either. I mainly wrote sales and marketing material.
But it turns out Rutherford County isn't just a good place to be a reader. It's also a great place to inspire a writer.

I know what you mean though and I'm just being a smart ass...but still, even yelling "Robbery!" I don't think would be enough to warrant anything. Unless you said, "I AM HOLDING THIS BANK UP!" there is no threat. You could have been yelling that there was a robbery in progress or something. I'm looking at this at a legal standpoint and from some of the things criminals are able to get away with nowadays, all I'm saying is that saying "DIE!" to someone isn't enough to prove you're sending them threats unless you're standing next to them with a knife/gun/other weapon in hand.
C'mon man, I think I know you (based on your post history) better than that. If someone that you didn't know sent you an email that said the same thing...
I'm flattered.
If I had gotten the same/similar email (and from what MikeC says, he got worse) I would be pissed. I don't think I would go to the authorities right away though. I think I would ridicule the person first, post them on the board, let everyone else make fun of him (like we are here
) and then see where it goes. Assuming it was some random person online that knows nothing other than my username...I wouldn't get too worried about them coming after me. Of course, if they sent me an email with my address and everything, yes, then I would worry.
It's up to the authorities to now. Anyone with a lick of sense knows better than do to what that guy did.
I agree it was a dumb thing to do, but still...how would saying to you, CLAY YOU BLEEPGING BLEEP BLEEP! DIE DIE DIE!!! Be any different than going off on that asshat Randy Moss and saying, RANDY YOU BLEEPGING BLEEP BLEEP! DIE DIE DIE!!! in Muya's sports forum? Even saying, "I wish Randy Moss would die" doesn't inherently mean that I personally am going to cause his death. But still...I'm probably annoying you and MikeC by this point. I'm just playing Devil's advocate is all and as I said before: I'm not condoning or defending his behavior. The guy was obviously a dickweed and I'm glad he is not only gone but that the authorities take care of this and treat it as a death threat. The law works both ways, right?

Nine U.S. diesel engine manufacturers and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are using their collective horsepower to tackle the perennial industry-wide problem of efficiency-robbing soot in engines. Over time, heat exchangers in diesel engines become coated with soot and unburned fuel that robs 1-2 percent of the engine's efficiency. While that may not seem like a big number, ORNL researcher Michael Lance noted that it means thousands of gallons in wasted fuel. However, with advanced microscopy and neutrons that allow for non-destructive imaging, ORNL researchers are gaining a better understanding of the properties of the soot and how it forms in real-world components provided by the manufacturers. Contributions from researchers at the National Transportation Research Center are also vital to the success of the project, Lance said.

ATLANTA -- Delta Air Lines officials say the company will hire 300 pilots starting in November.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the development marks the first pilot hiring since 2010 for the Atlanta-based airline.
Company officials say they'll add 50 pilots a month from November through early 2014, then about 20 a month through September 2014.
Pilots who were previously furloughed will have first dibs on the positions, but not all are expected to return.
Pilots from Delta Connection carriers Compass and Endeavor Air are expected to fill some of the positions, along with experienced pilots from elsewhere such as other regional carriers and the U.S. military.

Bearcats Welcome Back Althoff Award Winners; Willamette's Female Athletes Recognized As Part of NCAA Celebration Honoring Women Athletes
SALEM, OR — As part of the Bearcat's celebration of 25 years of NCAA Women's Championships, the Bearcats honored several former winners of the Henrietta "Hank" Althoff Award prior to Saturday night's game against Whitman.
The award is given each year to the player on the women's basketball team who best exemplifies the qualities of enthusiasm, inspiration, integrity, coachability and team spirit.
Receiving a plaque and the accolades of the crowd were former Althoff Award winners (pictured left, from left) Amy Ulrey, Kelly Sorenson, KayLynn Charrierre and Rosie Contri.
At halftime of the game, the Bearcats also honored all of Willamette's female athletes. Nearly 50 of Willamette's student athletes were on hand for the special half-time recognition.
"Throughout the country, universities are recognizing the accomplishments of women athletes by honoring 25 years of championship sports. Willamette's female athletes have not only represented this university with distinction as athletes, but through years of parenting, work and community service that has made a difference in the lives of so many people. We are proud to recognize these athletes as models for their peers and for the generations of young women who follow them," said Gordon.
Other Althoff award winners in recent years include Tracy Shephard and Jenny Joseph, Jamie Davis, Katie Edmonds, Simmie Muth and Julia Short.
Henrietta "Hank" Althoff never played or coached at Willamette, but during her tenure as the Student Health Nurse from 1948-1980, Hank was perhaps the Bearcat's biggest fan.
Not only did she treat many of our student athletes in the days before we had trainers, but she was a nurse and a guiding presence for all Willamette students. A regular fixture at all Bearcat sporting events, Hank was a tall, professional and exceedingly kind woman who brought a striking presence to the sidelines.
As one former soccer player said of Althoff, "She was the heart and soul of the university and the athletic department during her years here." So tonight, as we honor the following players for winning the Henrietta Althoff Award, we also honor Hank for her years of service and dedication to the entire Willamette community.
The Bearcats would like to congratulate all the former award winners and femal athletes for their commitment to women's sports.

I am looking for a shawl pattern that is more than knit stitches.
For those that read one of my previous posts, I did start that hat. No pattern or anything, just knitting all the way around. I have done a considerable amount already and now have some questions.
Does anyone also crochet?
Can anyone give me the pattern on Icarus shawl
Me again. I am new at this, so don't be made that I post every day. Anyway, I know I don't hold the yarn properly. I am not doing continental or English. I guess I am close to English.
So I just started knitting and very few people know about it. I'm afraid to let my friends and co-workers know. I'm not sure what kind of reaction I would get.
Calling all photogenic camera hams... Yes, you, with the shirtless profile pic! I'm talking to you!
Howdy guys!
Dear All,
After about 2 weeks of doing this, I am clearly obsessed. I am just about done with my first real scarf, and my wife says I need a matching hat now. Am I crazy for even thinking about this?

Bucs get their man in McCoy
|04.22.10 at 7:52 pm ET
The biggest gimme of any mock draft — yes, even more predictable than than Bradford No. 1 — has come to fruition in the form of Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy going third overall to the Bucs.
The Bucs' depth chart is full of holes, and landing perhaps the best overall player in the draft with the third choice will go a long way in restoring both faith and ticket sales in Tampa Bay. For months people have debated whether McCoy or Suh was the better prospect, and while Suh may be flashier, McCoy will improve a defense quicker. The charismatic McCoy will be extremely marketable in Tampa Bay and will learn a ton from 31 year-old Chris Hovan.

Johann answers: Baie dankie Dirk. Die breakdown is natuurlik 'n deel van die spel wat baie onder bespreking kom, en al wat ons in hierdie stadium kan doen, is om binne die reëls op te tree. Dit behels dat ons die speler wat aan die verkeerde kant lê binne die reels "skoonmaak" en so die bal probeer loskry. Hulp van die skeidsregter is natuurlik altyd welkom en as hy voel die speler oortree die reel, moet daardie speler gestraf word.
Your Question: Why is the springboks not using the rolling mall? – Martin
Johann answers: We will always try to use the maul at the right time of the game on the right position on the field, but sometimes the opponents defend the lineout well and then we need to alter our plans. Having said that, we scored a try from a maul (by Marcell) against Argentina at Newlands, which was great!
Your Question: JUST LOOK HOW THE BLUE BULLS PLAYED ON SATERDAY, THATS THE WAY WE PLAY RUGBY, ITS CALLED RUNNING RUGBY, AND IF YOU PLAY LIKE THAT YOU CAN WIN ANY TEAM, SORRY IVE GOT NO QUESTION JUST PLAY RUNNING RUGBY AND YOU WILL WIN THE GAMES, TO MUCH FAZES ITS NO GOOD. – MELVIN HORSTMANN
Johann answers: We hear what you're saying Melvin and I have to agree with you, it was a most enjoyable match between the Blue Bulls and the Sharks on Saturday. But allow me to point out some stats which could show that perceptions around rugby can be quite wrong (and this is not an attack on you – I like to debate rugby matters): the Bulls scored three tries and the Sharks scored four. All the Bulls' tries were from turn-overs, mainly thanks to good defence. The Sharks also had more possession and territory than the Bulls (51% to 49%). But the kicking stats really interested me – the Sharks kicked the ball 21 times during the game and the Bulls 30 times, which could point to the Bulls actually playing less running rugby than the Sharks. So the point is that things are not always as it seems. In the end, playing the correct kind of rugby in the right positions on the field is what we will be aiming for, as well as breaking down defences and scoring as many tries as possible.

Yes install all wads with ios236 or 36. Or use MMM reload to 236/36 and batch install them
Sent from my iPod touch using WiiHacks
Do I need to do this if I've followed the 'Softmod Any Wii' guide? Yes/No
Quality is never an accident, it is always the result of intelligent effort.
I know this may not be the section for it but I don't know what to do anymore and as i've searched all over the net to no avail.
ok... I installed the latest d2x v.6 successfully by batch installing all the wads as the guide stated. Afterwards i loaded USB LOADER GX which always worked with no problems, i change the IOS to 236 on LOADER SETTINGS as all these tutorials point to me to use ios 236 as it's supposedly more compatible with games and now when i try loading USB LOADER GX not only does the program not load to it's menu but it can't find my flash drive which use to work! It just counts down while waiting for HDD then it takes me back to Homebrew channel. Do I have to batch install all those wads with ios 236 or 36 loaded on MMM? cause i think i had ios 58 loaded by default. How can i get back in USB LOADER GX to change the IOS back to 249? Please help.
Follow the Updating GX guide in my sig. That should get you sorted.
Used your guide and reinstalled d2x cios v7 properly through MMM using wads. Still get the same issue... "Waiting for HDD" and counts down to 0. then it says in a window "Error ! USB DEVICE NOT FOUND" @_@ Any more suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Did you install the 249 dol and delete the contents of the config folder?
Ok I solved the problem. I can get in now. All i had to do was delete the USBLOADER_GX folder out of my SD card from the apps folder, downloaded another ios249 USB loader gx and replaced it in the apps folder and now the IOS loader setting is back to 249 the way it should be. It seems that changing the Loader settings IOS to another number causes the program to not be able to read your USB drives.
Dont change it back to 236. 236 is only used for installing wads, not for playing games. The cIOS you can use for games are 222-224 (if you have them installed) and all the d2x cIOS that you just installed. 249 is going to give you the best compatibility. Occasionally a game may require a diferent cIOS, but you should change that in the individual game settings, not the global settings.

Imagining the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2: What we expect Apple to cover next!
Analyzing rumors and speculation surrounding Apple's 5th generation iPad and 2nd generation iPad mini, from chipsets, to designs, to screens, and more!
Apple is holding their next big event on October 22 and among the biggest news will likely be the updated iPad 5 and iPad mini 2. It's likely the new full-sized iPad will be made less fully-sized, and it's possible the new iPad mini will get a screen that's more maxi. But what else do we have to look forward to? Let's take a look!
iPad 5 design: Thin is in
Looking back, the original iPad was thick, heavy, RAM-starved, and low resolution. It was also magnificent. A big iPhone, according to its detractors, unimaginative, and, of course, doomed. Turns out it was an iPhone gone IMAX, bigger but also broader, as imaginative as the person using it, and the next evolution of personal computing. But, thick and heavy. Apple fixed that somewhat with the iPad 2, regressed slightly with the iPad 3 and 4, and then showed the world a thinner, lighter future with the 7.9-inch iPad mini. The iPad mini was so light and thin it was impossible to look at it and not want the same design on the 9.7-inch iPad 5. And it looks like that just might be exactly what we get...
iPad mini 2 display: Retina or bust
When the iPad mini launched it garnered universal acclaim for its smaller, thinner, and lighter 7.9-inch form factor that looked light-years ahead of the then 4th generation iPad. Slightly cheaper, the only thing it really seemed to lack was the high density Retina display of its 9.7-inch elder sibling. The reason for that? Retina is hard. You can have Retina, you can have lightness, and you can have battery life, but not all three at the same time. At least not back then. So what about now? Has time let technology catch up? Can Apple ship a Retina iPad mini in 2013? I'm thinking yes...
iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 internals: Touch ID, Apple A7, and M7
There are some other new features that could make an appearance in Apple's next-generation tablets, including Touch ID, the fingerprint identify sensor. Of course, Touch ID requires the new Apple A7 chipset and its secure enclave to work, but that's a likely addition anyway, at least to the full-sized iPad. And with the A7 also comes the possibility of the Apple M7 motion-coprocessor. Would that make sense for a tablet? Or would running the deck on A7 this year, the way they did Lightning last year, make perfect sense...?
iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 cameras: iSight and FaceTime HD
What also remains to be seen is what will happen with the iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, tablet editions. While not as dismal as the original iPad camera, they've still lagged enormously behind the iPhone. Better FaceTime HD cameras are a given, but could an 8 megapixel camera, powered by the A7 image signal processor, make this year much, much better?
iPad 5 and iPad mini 2: The bottom line
A lot of questions still surround the iPad 5 and iPad mini launch, especially when it comes to Apple A7 chipsets and Touch ID on both models, and Retina on the mini. That also means pricing is up in the air. Apple will almost certainly keep the iPad 5 at a base $499 price tag. Will they keep the 2011 iPad 2 around at $399, even for education? Can Apple afford to put an A7 Retina iPad mini at the same $329 price point as last year's A5, non-Retina version? And if not, if it does have to move up to $399 (the old iPad 2 price point), does last year's iPad mini drop down to $299 to further lower the lowest cost of entry? Based on past behavior, Apple could run the tables on Retina and Touch ID this year, and use older models to make sure there's no umbrella beneath them. That's what I'd like to see.
But only one thing is for certain at this point: The October 22 iPad event is going to be something. And iMore will be bringing you the absolute best coverage, color, and commentary in the business, like usual!

Imagining the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2: What we expect Apple to cover next!
That's pretty much been rumored since January, I'd count on it :)
Cannot wait. Would love to see a retina mini with touch id. Could we possibly get haptic feedback on one model tomorrow? Apple acquired a company two years ago, if memory serves me correctly, that was working on that at the time. For the next iPhone, which is at least a year away from now a bigger screen is an absolute must for me. Going with a bigger screen will allow them to pack more battery an added benefit to the iPhone. Imagine, 20 hours or more on an iPhone. They will not be able to build enough for that demand I'd bet.
As long as it has the mini form and the new chip, I will be selling my iPad 3 for the 5. One thing I dislike about my 3 is the shape.
I know HD/retina is hard to make thin but what are the other tablets doing? was the Nexus 10 and its crazy pixels thin? I know not apples to apples but I think that gives a clue to what can be done and the hope is that apple can do better....but I remember searching to a 7"er last xmas and comparing kindles. minis, etc...and they were all pretty close to the same thickness but the Mini was not HD/Retina...I just assumed this will mean...they can do it next time.
I think from the financial sources are saying that Apple last year did not want to make an iPad Mini Retina due to the fear that it would take away from some of the full size flagship iPad 3/4 sales and reduce their profit margin. So they decided to use low resolution screen, limit RAM options and a two year old processor to keep it from happening. Not sure if Apple will continue with this strategy or make the iPad Mini Retina a "flagship" product and put up to date components inside it like they do for the iPad5.
Here's my thinking:
iPad (5th gen)
- Slimmer, lighter, narrower bezels as in all the rumors
- Space gray+black or sliver+white (no gold)
- A7X SoC with M7 co-processor and Touch ID
- Same camera as in iPhone 5S
- Same $499 base price
iPad mini (2nd gen)
- Space gray+black or sliver+white (no gold)
- Old A6X SoC with new Retina display
- No Touch ID or M7 co-processor
- Lower $299 base price
iPad mini (1st gen)
- Base model will remain in the lineup (16GB, wi-fi only)
- Discounted to $229, and production might end after the holiday quarter
How come imore doesn't get invited to the keynotes. Your pretty responsible and fair when it come to reporting on Apple products. A lot more so than some other sites.
Sent from the iMore App
iPad 5 - $499 (new form factor)
- no M7
- camera bump to last years iPhone 5 8MP
iPad mini with retina display - $399
- iPad 2 says bye-bye
- A7 processor (the consumer choice will be screen size, not capability)
- no M7
- same 8MB camera as iPhone 5
- is slightly larger than last year's mini (you can't have it all, but if you want retina in a 7" package, you'll take the big battery)
iPad mini - drops to $299
- surprise, gets a bump to A6 and camera bump too (ends the 'this is last year's mini' argument)
- consumer choice for this unit is basically the price and size combination in exchange for lack of retina
(if they don't bump the specs, the price will have to drop further to compensate)
Longshot prediction (perhaps 5 months too early)
- a big 'iPad in the enterprise' presentation
- "a lot more to cover" means...new keyboard cover on a larger enterprise iPad
- new keyboard cover, new 12.2" iPad, Touch ID
- new upgraded iWork 2013
"… gets a bump to A6 and camera bump too (ends the 'this is last year's mini' argument) …"
If it has an A6, then it's "last year's internals" by definition. If all Apple can do for the mini (arguably one of the most popular products it has ever made), is give it last years' crap internals at the same relatively high price, then Apple is pretty much finished as a company to emulate in terms of product quality.
It's not that cheap. It's not that much cheaper than the full iPad and it uses less material to justify that lower price. There is no reason in the world that the iPad mini should suffer any lesser internals than the flagship product and no reason why it should be higher priced.
It needs to be an A7 or A7X, it needs to have TouchID, and it needs to be the same price as last year's mini to be a credible product at all. They probably have to have retina just because so many whiners seemingly can't live without it, but that requirement comes about only because Apple is a victim of it's own hype over retina.
If they were smart, they would make a non-retina version for $100 less than the retina and kill the market with the best $249 or so tablet ever made. There is a huge market out there that doesn't care about the "rich corinthian leather" (retina) and just wants a working computer for a good price.
I think you may have missed that I have 2 minis in my line-up, one retina, and an improved non-retina version. Many others have suggested leaving last year's mini in the line-up 'as is', I'm suggesting it gets upgraded, but not quite to the same spec as the retina version. It gives the buyer a reason to 'walk up the product line' even if they are mixed regarding retina.
Don't forget that more pundits than I care to mention strongly suggested that last year's mini was going to be priced at $199 to $249 -- they missed by a long shot and as you mentioned, it was 'one of the most popular products ever' despite being priced far higher than these Apple friendly experts predicted.
Another factor to think about, there is no point to losing margin with a low price and being unable to meet market demand. The price elasticity curve has a sweet spot that is usually higher than most people would guess. Apple has the demand data and knows their production capability -- we don't. Pricing a new retina mini at a point where they need to be able to ship 20 million in a quarter to meet demand doesn't make sense if they can only manufacture 10 million.
I agree there is a large contingent of buyers who don't care or even notice retina and therefore keeping both in the line-up is necessary. For me retina to non-retina is huge and I will never buy a non-retina device. As Rene says, it's like running "sandpaper across my eyes". I'd happily pay $100 to avoid that.
This is precisely the reason why I didn't buy the new MacBook Airs. I have the older one, but retina is a must in this day and age. I'd even consider upgrading to a MacBook Pro if Apple offers. It's still kind of a contentious issue for me because I really do appreciate the thinness of the Air.
Retina + thin + long battery life = The ultimate Apple product.
I like the idea of a Retina on the new iPad Mini but would not buy one if Apple decides to add the fingerprint scanner. I would prefer not to volunteer by personal details to the NSA and GCHQ, anyone who thinks that their fingerprints won't be stored on some government database has clearly been asleep for the last year.
You don't have to program the fingerprint function. You can use it with no password or you can with password only. As long as you do not program it; it defaults the other options.
CNBC video clip at the ends said that "Apple might treat the iPad Mini Retina as a flagship device". So that means it may be the same components inside as the iPad 5! I hope this is the case; since I willing to spend the same amount on the iPad Mini Retina as the iPad 5! Maybe even a bit more for the iPad Mini Retina since it is smaller size.

Ernie Nestor begins his first season as a member of the Missouri Basketball coaching staff and starts his 43rd season overall as a basketball coach.
Nestor is no stranger to player development and bench strategy at the major college level. He has spent time in the Pac-10, ACC, SEC and Big Ten conferences as an assistant during his four-decade collegiate coaching career and shared time on Dave Odom's staff at Wake Forest with Coach Haith. He has also twice been a Division I head coach during his career, with stints at both Elon College and George Mason.
"It's exciting to be reunited with Frank here at Missouri," Nestor said. "Frank is an outstanding coach, someone who has the ability to connect with young men and get the most out of them. I am also excited to be part of the Missouri family. Being around the college game for 40 years, I know what it means when someone says Mizzou Basketball. These fans expect discipline and toughness and that's what we will give them."
Nestor comes to Mizzou after one season as the Director of Basketball Operations at Penn State University. The Nittany Lions were one of the country's most improved teams in 2010-11, going 19-15 and earning an at-large spot in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. The season prior, Penn State went just 11-20 and failed to reach post season play.
Nestor's coaching experience began in 1970 with a six-year stint as a high school head coach, but continued with collegiate stops at James Madison (1976-79), Wake Forrest (1979-85), California (1985-88), George Mason (1988-93), a return trip to Wake Forest (1993-2001), South Carolina (2001-03), Elon (2003-2009) and Penn State (2010-11).
"Ernie has 42 years of coaching experience and is someone I have a great deal of respect for," Haith said. "He just has a tremendous understanding of the game and has a great ability to teach it as well. You look at some of the players he has mentored over the years and you get a sense of who Ernie Nestor is. Guys like Tim Duncan, Josh Howard, Darius Songaila. These are NBA veterans. Players get better when they work with Coach Nestor and that's why I am so excited to join our family."
Nestor's five seasons at George Mason and six years at Elon were as the program's head coach. He led George Mason to its first-ever NCAA Tournament in 1989 and topped the 20-win mark each of his first-two seasons. He returned to Wake Forest in 1993 and helped the Demon Deacons to ACC Championships in 1995 and 1996 and that 1996 club advanced to the NCAA regional final, where it fell to eventual NCAA National Champion, Kentucky. In 1997 Haith and Nestor began their coaching relationship in Winston-Salem.
Nestor returned to the head coaching ranks at Elon College in 2003 and he directed the school's first winning season as a Division I program in 2005-06. The Phoenix won 15 games (15-14 overall), including a 74-69 win at Clemson. The team also claimed the Southern Conference's North Division crown and he was named the SoCon Coach of the Year by both the league's coaches and media.
Nestor is a 1968 graduate of Alderson-Broaddus College (W. Va.) and he earned his graduate degree from West Virginia in 1970. He and his wife, Janet, have two children, Stephanie and Jennifer. They also have four grandchildren, Kodiak, Lucy, Clio and Jude.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- March 27, 2002 -- A University of Rhode Island College of Nursing professor has been awarded a $90,000 federal grant to enhance the geriatrics education of faculty and students in the undergraduate program.
With 14.5 percent of Rhode Islands population over the age of 65, geriatrics education is essential to URIs College of Nursing. The older adult population is the fastest growing demographic group in the state. Projections show that the elderly will make up 20 percent of the countrys population by the year 2030.
Patricia Burbank of Coventry was awarded the three-year grant by the John A. Hartford Foundation in the fall. Through its grants, the Hartford Foundation seeks to enhance and expand the training of doctors, nurses, social workers and other health professionals who care for older adults, and promote innovations in the integration and delivery of services for all older Americans.
"The Hartford Foundation funded 20 baccalaureate-nursing schools nationwide to develop model programs to enhance education in nursing for older adults. Schools awarded grants will then share their experiences with other nursing programs in the country and help them adapt to the strategies we found to be successful," said Burbank.
"The needs of older adults are the most complicated because they have the highest prevalence of diseases and the most complex medical treatment regimens," said Burbank. "Nurses are central to the success of delivery of high quality health care to this population group."
The grant will fund changes in the nursing curriculum to include the many elements of caring for the older patients, such as:
The grant will also provide faculty with theoretical knowledge and clinical mentoring through training offered by the Rhode Island Geriatric Education Center, based at URI. It will increase the availability of computer-assisted instruction and web-based resource information. Faculty will in turn be able to make students more aware of the critical needs of older adults and help them become more sensitive to their challenges.
"I think it's wonderful for the interdisciplinary Geriatric Education Center to begin working with URI nursing faculty. This will encourage nursing students to work collaboratively with students and providers from other health professional backgrounds in caring for older adults," said Phillip G. Clark, URI professor and director of the Rhode Island Geriatric Education Center.
"This grant gives us the resources to focus on developing an excellent model program in nursing education in gerontology," said Burbank. "It will enable our College of Nursing to be known for its excellence in gerentological nursing education. Our graduates will be well prepared to care for the rapidly increasing numbers of older adults in the areas of prevention, health promotion, complex health issues, and end-of-life care."

16 Ways to Make A Charitable Gift
1. Gift of Cash: You can deduct annual cash gifts (checks, credit card, etc.) up to 39.6 percent of adjusted gross income annually. On a $10,000 cash gift in the 28 percent tax bracket, you save $2,800 in taxes.
2. Multiple-Year Gift Pledge: You can deduct cash pledged over a period of years, up to 50 percent of adjusted gross income for the portion given each year. On a $30,000 cash gift over three years ($10,000 each year) in a 28-percent bracket, you save $2,800 in taxes that each year.
3. Appreciated Stock: Appreciated stock (held more than one year) makes an excellent gift. You avoid all capital gain taxes which are 20% and receive a charitable tax deduction on the entire value of the stock. The gift is valued on the day that it is signed over to the Food Bank. The stock must be signed over before it is sold or the donor loses significant tax benefits.
4. Bonds, Mutual Funds: Bonds and mutual funds are similar to cash in their tax treatment. State, Municipal, and U.S. Government Bonds are welcome.
5. CD's, Saving Accounts, Brokerage Accounts, and Checking Accounts with P.O.D. provisions: The P.O.D. stands for Payable on Death. You retain full ownership and full control during your life. At your death, the account balance is paid to your named beneficiary (nonprofit) immediately and without probate.
6. Charitable Gift Annuity: In exchange for a gift of cash, stock or securities, the organization will pay you, you and your survivor, or another person you name, a guaranteed income for a period of years. You receive a substantial tax deduction in the year of the gift and a portion of the income is tax-free. Upon your death, the gift remainder supports the Food Bank.
7. Deferred Gift Annuity: Similar to a gift annuity except that payments begin at a future date determined by you – retirement for example. Your tax deduction and annual rate of return increase the longer you wait to start payments. This is a very effective retirement planning vehicle.
8. Bequest made in a Will: One of the simplest way to give is the gift of your estate. You can make a gift bequest, after others have been provided for, of a dollar amount, specific property, a percentage of the estate, or what is left (remainder) to the Food Bank.
9. Gift of Life Insurance: A simple way to make a significant future gift is to name the organization beneficiary to receive all, or a portion of the proceeds of an existing life insurance policy. You will receive a tax deduction for the cash surrender value, thus reducing your tax liability in the year of the gift.
10. Purchase a New Life Insurance Policy Naming the Arkansas Foodbank Owner and Beneficiary: You receive a charitable income tax deduction for each premium payment made and provide a major gift to the Food Bank with a modest annual payment.
11. Personal Property (Art, jewelry, books, guns, coins, royalty rights, etc.): Gifts of personal property are always welcome, including collections, royalty, and mineral rights. Charitable tax deductions are available in the year of the gift. The Food Bank liquidates gifts of this nature and invests the proceeds at the Food Bank.
12. Outright Gift of Real Estate: One of the most overlooked gift forms is real estate. We will be happy to discuss the possible gift of land, a house, or vacation home. You will receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value, as well as avoiding all capital gain taxes. The Food Bank liquidates these gifts and invests the proceeds at the Food Bank.
13. Real Estate with Life Tenancy, also called a Life Remainder Interest Deed: Receive a substantial income tax deduction by giving (deeding) your home or farm to the Food Bank now. You continue to live there, maintain the property as usual, and even receive any income it generates. At your death, the Food Bank will sell your property to support the Food Bank.
14. Pooled Income Fund: This is similar to a mutual fund and you receive a portion of the fund's annual income. You receive a substantial current year tax deduction and can avoid capital gain taxes if the gift is made with appreciated securities. Additions can be made easily. Upon your death, the fund is available to the Food Bank.
15. Charitable Remainder Trusts (Irrevocable) (Annuity and Unitrusts): Donors can select the rate of return from these income arrangements and also choose a fixed or fluctuating annual payment. Capital gain taxes are avoided and you will receive a tax deduction based on the age of the income recipient and the rate of return.
16. Charitable Lead Trust: In a charitable lead trust assets (cash or securities) are transferred to a trust that pays income from the fund to the organization for a predetermined number of years. At the end of the time period, the trust terminates and the assets are given back to the persons you name. The income tax deduction is for payments made annually to the organization.

Antiquing In Aberfoyle
The Aberfoyle antique market recently opened their gates for another delightful season of haggling. With 20 acres of booths and outdoor exhibitor space, the market is a gold mine for devoted collectors.
My countdown to the market's opening weekend begins shortly after Christmas — I'm not kidding. So when my future sister-in-law, Nadia, suggested her and I make a day of it a few Sundays ago, I was more than happy to oblige. We knew that leaving the boys with their trucks and power washers would give us hours of rummage time.
To those who do not share my enthusiasm for the hoary and musty, this may talk you into the idea of adding some aged charm to your decor. To those like me who gush over chipped teacups and rickety chairs, check out the amazing stuff I came across.
If you're looking to add some quirkiness to your kitchen, you're bound to find something on the heaped tables. I find the best stuff hidden in boxes, so be sure to dig around.
The booths can be overwhelming and it's easy to miss a lot. I keep reminding myself to look up!
The selection of china is endless.
I had to tear myself away from this vintage brass fire extinguisher. At $89 it would have exceeded the budget I had allotted myself for the day — maybe I'll find it there again next time.
Windows are easy to come by at antique markets, but a knockout like this is definitely a great find — I'm surprised it was still available.
Another reason to look up; the lighting is a never-ending array of crystal, brass wrought iron and porcelain.
This solid wood bench was only $80; an incredible deal for a piece that will last a lifetime. If only I had the space.
I had big dreams for this tub. A glossy coat of expensive paint and some refurbished hardware would have kept this $200 find way under the cost of a brand new one. Another piece I'll have to forgo for now.
If you're looking for great storage ideas, check out the vintage boxes on the lawn.
I love the look of a historic vignette.
Ducks, anyone?
I'm happy to say I went home with two sweet pieces of history. This aged industrial stool ...
... and a stunning vintage engagement ring from Cynthia Findlay my (now fiancé) Pablo surprised me with — just another magical moment in the world of antiquing!

VESTAL, N.Y. – Senior Tyrone Conley (Burlington, Vt.) scored a game-high 22 points and classmate Dane DiLiegro (Lexington, Mass.) recorded his fifth double-double of the season with 14 points and 10 rebounds as the University of New Hampshire men's basketball team earned a 65-59 victory against Binghamton University on Saturday evening at the Events Center.
The Wildcats won for the third time in four games, including their second straight and first America East road contest of the season, to improve to 11-13, including 5-7 in the conference. They also beat Binghamton for the second time in their last three meetings, but the first time in the last four contests at the Events Center. Binghamton drops their eighth straight to fall to 6-18 overall and 3-8 in the conference.
Conley, UNH's America East Player of the Game, was 8-for-11 from the floor, 4 of 5 from behind the arc and 2-for-2 at the line. The co-captain also tallied five rebounds, a block and a steal in 35 minutes. DiLiegro was 6-for-7 from the field and 2 of 3 at the stripe. Sophomore Chandler Rhoads (Berryville, Va.) also netted 14 points on 4 of 10 shooting to go along with three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 39 minutes.
Moussa Camara, Mahamoud Jabbi and Greer Wright led the Bearcats with 13, 12 and 10 points, respectively. Camara added four boards to earn America East Player of the Game honors for Binghamton.
UNH shot a season-high 52.3 percent (23-44) from the field, including 41.2 percent (7-17) from long distance.
Tied at five early on, the Wildcats went on an 11-1 run – sparked by a 3-pointer from junior Brian Benson (Rochester, N.Y.) and capped with a ferocious two-handed Benson dunk off a nice feed from DiLiegro – to take a 16-6 lead with 13:33 remaining in the opening half. A pair of Conley 3-pointers on the next two UNH possessions pushed the lead to 22-10 – the largest of the game.
The Wildcats still led by 12, 27-15, at the third media timeout with 7:59 remaining in the half, and were 11-for-14 (78.6%) from the floor and 5 of 6 (83.3%) from 3 at that point.
Binghamton stormed back, however, ripping off a 14-3 run – with seven points from Chretien Lukusa – to slice the halftime deficit to one at 30-29. UNH, which improved to 9-4 when leading at the break, shot 54.5 percent (12-22) from the floor, including 45.5 percent (5-11) from deep.
A baseline slam by DiLiegro and a layup by Rhoads pushed the UNH lead to five to kick off the second half, but six straight points from Camara gave Binghamton its only lead of the game at 35-34 with just under 13 minutes to play.
The Wildcats led 39-38 when a jump hook in the lane from DiLiegro and a 3-pointer, followed by a jumper, from Conley pushed the advantage to eight at 46-38 with 8:29 left. Five straight points from Binghamton cut its deficit to three, but a pair of baskets from DiLiegro and a tip-in and a straightaway 3 from senior James Valladares (Kaufman, Texas) gave UNH a commanding 55-45 lead with 1:43 remaining.
A 9-2 run over the next minute brought the Bearcats to within three at 57-54. The margin was still three at 59-56 with 32 seconds remaining, but the Wildcats knocked down 6 of 8 at the line down the stretch to seal the win.
Valladares chipped in with eight points on 3 of 4 shooting, including 2 of 3 from deep, while Benson posted five points and seven boards.
Binghamton shot 40 percent (18-45) from the field and 38.5 percent (5-13) from behind the arc. Rebounding was even at 30 apiece, while UNH turned the ball over 10 times and forced 11 Bearcat turnovers.
Conley finished the night with 1,199 career points and moved past Jim Rich (1,180) and Greg Steele (1,187) for 11th place on UNH's all-time scoring list.
UNH improved to 8-4 when scoring first, 6-1 when outscoring its opponent in the paint and 9-2 when holding its opponent to 60 points or less.
The Wildcats return to action Wednesday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. when they play host to Stony Brook University at Lundholm Gymnasium. For tickets, visit UNHWildcats.com or call (603) 862-4000, x 5.

The University at Buffalo's Joseph Brennan recalls an incident where a student reported seeing a man enter the campus library while carrying what appeared to be a rifle. Immediately upon hearing the report, officials issued an alert using the university's system from Rave Mobile Safety. Recipients of the message were advised to stay away from the area, and the building was searched.

Volunteer Assistant Chess Coach honored for dedication
Thursday, December 27, 2012
A Lincoln-Way Central graduate and volunteer assistant coach for the Lincoln-Way Chess team was honored this month for his time and dedication to the Central chess team.
Mike Pakosz has been a volunteer chess coach for the past two years helping out at every practice and tournament. He was officially recognized by Principal Steve Provis before a practice session on December 10.
"Thank you for your passion for coaching and volunteering here at Lincoln-Way Central. Your attitude and effort reflect your dedication to the Lincoln-Way Knights. It's great that you as an alumni take the time to help our current chess team members," Provis said to Pakosz and members of the chess team and current head coach Dave Davidson.
Mike is a graduate of the class of 2008. He was a member of the chess team all four years he attended Lincoln-Way Central. His record while he attended Lincoln-Way was 108 wins, 40 losses and 8 draws. Mike is a member of the 2007 team that won the class 5A bracket at the state tournament. He placed 5th on Board 6 in the state contest. Mike notes his father taught him to play at age 2.
"I love the game. There is something about Lincoln-Way that makes me want to come back and help. I have very positive memories about Central and still feel connected to Lincoln-Way," said Mike.

Quantitative Methods of Evaluating Businesses and Investments - Time Value of Money
In addition to being able to understand the financial statement, IAs must also have the ability to estimate the value of an investment in the future.
Future Value
When planning investment strategy, it's useful to be able to predict what an investment is likely to be worth in the future, taking the impact of compound interest into account. This formula allows you (or your calculator) to do just that:
Pn = P0(1+r)n
Pnis future value of P0
P0 is original amount invested
r is the rate of interest
n is the number of compounding periods (years, months, etc.)
Note in the example below that when you increase the frequency of compounding, you also increase the future value of your investment.
Pn is the future value of P0
n = 10 years
r = 9%
Example 1- If interest is compounded annually, the future value (Pn) is $23,674.
Pn = $10,000(1 + .09)10 = $23,674
Example 2 - If interest is compounded monthly, the future value (Pn) is $24,514.
Pn = $10,000(1 + .09/12)120 = $24,514
Present Value
As part of your investment planning, you might also need to calculate the present value of investments. For example, if your clients want to retire with $1 million in their investment accounts, it would be useful to know how much they need to save each year to reach that goal.
You can simply reverse the future value formula like this:
P0 = Pn
(1+ r) n
Pn = $23,674
P0 is the present value of Pn
n = 10 years
r = 9%
Example: How much would somebody need to invest now if they wish to have $23,674 10 years from now based on a return of 9% compounded annually?
(1+ .09) 10
Exam Tips and Tricks
A typical time value of money question will look something like this:
If $10,000 is invested at 6%, compounded monthly, it would be worth $18,194 in 10 years. $18,194 would be the investment's _____________.
- Internal rate of return
- Present value
- Expected return
- Future value
Rates of Return - Internal Rate of Return
The correct answer is "d" - the ending value of the investment is known as the future value.
Pn = $10,000(1+.06/12)120 = $18,194
