Rated 3 out of 5�by LarG Nice socks Haven't really put them to a hot-weather test, but appear to do what they're supposed to do. A bit too thin for foot comfort, in my opinion, though others might appreciate that ? especially in hot, humid conditions. Seem like they won't slip into shoes during activity. June 9, 2014

Call to help landlords revitalise sector
Posted: June 01, 2012|
LANDLORD Assist, the nationwide tenant eviction and referencing firm, is calling for the Government to offer greater tax incentives to landlords to stimulate investment in private rented homes and help solve the current housing crisis.
Investors currently pay income tax on rental profits and capital gains tax on any profits made when the asset is sold.
But with landlords facing tax bills of up to 28 per cent of the value at the point of sale, many are reluctant to re-invest back in the market once they sell their properties. Subsequently, the rental sector is experiencing a shortage of new properties entering the market, despite demand for rented properties continuing to grow as people struggle to afford deposits required by lenders to purchase.
To help stimulate growth in the sector and improve the standard of accommodation Graham Kinnear, managing director at Landlord Assist says the Government needs to recognise the role played by landlords at present and provide financial and tax incentives to encourage them to reinvest their money in property.
He says: "In some EU countires like Spain, residents can claim capital gains tax relief if they intend to invest the proceeds of the sale back into property or a percentage relief if only a portion or the property sale is reinvested.
"Allowing landlords in the UK to release capital with fewer capital gains tax liabilities would generate new properties and provide some much-needed stimulation to the housing market which would help to ease the housing crisis which currently exists in the private rented sector."
Kinnear adds: "The Government needs to look seriously at ways of incentivising investment into the rental sector to increase the number of properties available for rent. Buy-to-let investors are playing a pivotal role during tough economic times and we feel that landlords should be supported in expanding their portfolios.
"Not only do landlords provide vitally needed accommodation in the private rental sector but they also provide revenue by way of stamp duty, professional fees, letting agent fees and refurbishment expenditure."
Instead of encouraging further investment by landlords the Government has tried to take away the strain on the private rented sector by introducing a number of first time buyer initiatives but, Stephen Parry, commercial director at Landlord Assist says these have done little to improve the supply of accommodation.
He says: "On the whole landlords were overlooked in the Budget but we feel that there is real scope to help landlords which would help tenants and the wider UK economy.
"Breaks in capital gains tax would incentivise landlords to purchase more property and a stamp duty holiday for those buying to let would also be very well received."
Landlord Assist provide advice, information and services to landlords and letting agents throughout the UK and can be contacted on 08707 662288 or via their website www.landlordassist.co.uk

Death Aug. 04, 2011
What is death but a journey of the unknown? This one word brings the bravest most intelligent of human kind to their knees. Fear fills the heart as one begins to wonder, what if?
Watching those nearing death experience things of the unknown only they can see and hear brings more questions. At times reaching for things we can't see or talking with those unseen by us. Yelling no, I don't want to or you can't take me! Others smile and seem to be at peace while many others are just unresponsive.
If you watch children and ask them questions when in the room of a dying loved one; answers come that might surprise or even shock some. A child was told by a physician he was such a good boy and so quiet while everyone visited his sick grandma. The boy while coloring told the physician the beautiful angels around grandma's bed asked me to color quietly so everyone could see grandma one last time before she leaves with them. Surprised by his answer they all just looked at one another. Then the little boy said, "Bye grandma". He said, "See grandma is leaving with the angels." Getting up to check the patient the physician found she had just passed away!
Why was the child able to see what no one else could see or hear? Is it the innocents and not having learned to disbelieve? Why are some so afraid in the face of death? I watch others filled with faith, which is at peace and ready to go. Others say nothing at all and show no expression. Some say they are ready and then panic and will do anything not to die begging you to help them!
Death is the unknown journey we wonder about and watch as loved ones experience it. What will we do if death finds us? Are angels surrounding you and singing songs of comfort? What sort of things will be waiting for you when you take your finale breath?
Death is not meant to be feared, as they lay waiting to pass; comforted by an experience only shared by a few on lookers from time to time; beautiful angels and amazing colors have been described. At times sounds so wonderful yet nothing like anything ever heard before are talked about. Things children say are always the most beautiful and short. Children speak as if we surely see and hear the same things as them for how could we not? At no time are these children ever afraid! Death was filled with beauty and angels took care of their loved one as they left peacefully together never looking back!

I've ran benchmarks in Crysis at absolute max settings at 4X antialiasing and got the same result when benching with 8X antialiasing,using supersampled AA,not the lesser quality multisampling method.....The cards simply don't care,and they are running at stock clocks,imagine when i overclock them.
So in that scenario,and given than a 30"LCD isn't exactly cheap so i could raise the resolution even higher,there's the triple display option,which could extend resolutions to as high as 5760*1200 using 3 cheap 24" displays,and right off the bat,that's bout 65~70% harder than running on a single 30" LCD,when both are trying to sustain the same frame rate:
2560*1600 = 4.096 megapixels each frame.
5760*1200 = 6.912 megapixels each frame.
Yup,the cards will be definitely working harder in a pretty substancial way.
Well, we play different games and at different resolutions so as much as you may be maxing out your cards, I'm not sure I'll be so lucky, but we will see soon enough.
I can assure you that my mainstay game can cripple 3 x 280 @ 2560 x 1920 and equally the 5970 at the same settings on a 4GHz i7 so that's why I stand by my earlier comments.
I don't really want to get into a game specific discussion here as it is totally off topic.

So, after going to the dermatologist over 3 times over a year period, and given an assortment of creams and ointments, I still can't get ride of my groin, lower back, and waist rash.
From my last visit yesterday, the doctor told me he could perform a patch test over 4 visits to determine if I'm allergic to 29 common items for $1200, but he's pretty confident that I'm allergic to the rubber, lycra, or polyester from my bike clothe. The chemicals leach into the skin in areas where sweating occurs the most. He told me to stay away from biking or look for cotton based biking clothe. I have never seen any bike clothe,other than smartwool products, that do no contain polyester or spandex/rubber materials.
Anyone else have this problem or can provide any advice or direction for other clothing alternatives?

I bolded the important part of your post because it is the basis of all your arguments. You joined a guild of active people you already knew.... So, you didnt have to actually do anything to meet people in the game. You already had a group of friends to "group" and "guild" with. My friends are not playing this game- shoot! I guess im anti-social.
Also, yes i purchased the other character slots, I like the game and if you would look at my other posts you will see, I have always said- I like the game and game play, I just wish it was more group friendly / not just a single player game with some group aspects. (And had a better story but thats another story all together)

I dont get the "see ya" grouping thing im usually grouped with 4 guildies but when no one is on i have absolutely no problem getting in a group ever it usually takes less than 1 minute..
However not being able to kick the head of the undead without being severely diminished to nothing experience/karma/copper wise within 15-20 minutes is another story..

However, the combat in the game is much like the game. You CAN choose to be all about yourself OR you CAN choose to help others you are fighting beside, i.e. planting banners as a WAR instead of simply maxing out power and swinging a greatsword all the time. The game does offer such a choice. So, again, it is the people choosing to play in such a way, it is not the game forcing them to do so.
As for your FPS analogy, I love Borderlands because I can work cooperatively with others and we all fight better and survive more as a result. Dead Island is another example. Sure I COULD play solo and the game allows me to do so but I cannot blame the game if playing for myself is not as fun.
I can shoot a b-ball by myself or invite a couple of people over for a game, but shooting hoops alone does not make basketball a bad sport. Probably not the best example, but it's been a long Monday.
Anyway, to each his own!

I won't invite someone who is not being particularly vocal on whether or not they want to join a group, but I won't deny someone if they want to join one either since loot isn't shared and then we can help each other on hearts and DEs without just following each other around and creeping on the other or following them for no particular reason but to basically share kills and nothing more.

It is what you make of it.
I made more friends, talked to a lot more other people and grouped wih more people then I did in the four weeks I played WOW.
Plus every time there is an event you are working together with other people, even when you don't speak there is a group buzz goin on. People rezzing each other, doing combo's, asking for help in chat.
It is a perfect sytem for me. Although I can see how peopel used to guilds and doing raids, using teamspeak, etc. would think otherwise.
I love how you don't HAVE to group, except dungeons. (which I still haven't done, it's hard to commit for hours for me)
I also think a lot of people are real loners, ten people around a skill point and no one can be bothered to say hi orr answer a question. But I quess that's more the people's fault then the game.

Interesting perspective. I joined a guild very early on. We have 172 players and we chat on Mumble all the time. I usually log into voice chat before I start the game client up. I've also made lots of friends just by sending out party invites with people I see in the same zone as me. Because we aren't competing with each other for crafting materials grouping is a great idea unlike some other games I can mention. Everything about the game is more enjoyable in a group, even if just one extra player because skill combos are easier to create, and moving around in the higher level zones is quicker with another player.
Teaming up gives our Guild more influence too which is good for everyone. I can see your experience has been different but I have found GW2 players polite and easy to talk to.
Although you can just roll with whoever happens to be nearby it's very obvious in WvW when you come up against coordinated guilds because they roll right over disorganised mobs. It's called "Guild Wars" for a reason. I suggest you make the effort to join one first and see if your experience changes.

This isnt the games fault this is yours im 80 almost have everything for my legendary and i have done plenty of groups and see people like warriors pick up tank roles and ele/guards and even engis pick up roles as support/healers so you must be doing somethign wrong. Your right i didnt ever feel the need to group with peopel as i leveled so i didnt i enjoyed the solo game all the way to 80 then i formed a guild with other 80s and i loved the instance with controled tanking and healing. The game does push a kite based game for those that dont want to deal with having to look for a support player a tank player and rape dps. But i promise you those roles can be filled and when they are instances run like dreams and there fun and exciting paths.

The only problem this game has is that it require two hands to actually play it, so there are no hands left to write.
Still plenty of chat, people following other people or requesting grouping, questions in chat that are mostly promptly answered with minimum asstery, etc.
Ah those group events at 3 in the morning where myself and a stranger are working side by side to mow down a champion and its adds... No, we can't really chat since we don't have macros to perform the next 35 actions. But cooperation as you will rarely see in the open world of any other themepark MMO where open world is that area where you solo til level cap if you don't LFD.
What about WvW, where people report enemy movement, coordinate attacks at certain camps, etc?
No socialization at all...
GW2 is a game though and require both hands for optimal play.
Sincerely every guild should have VOIP.

This is true. I think many of the early beta testers thought everyone would like something different (I mean how often do you hear bitching about WoW clones, "more of the same", and I wish there were something different). That was probably a poor assumption.
Some people want to be told how to game and what to do. If you have a class that does one thing best, in a combat system with rigidly defined roles, and must form a formal group with a predefined number of other people, then the player doesn't really have to think through the content. All they have to do is read some wiki/forum to get the best build and go faceroll content for their gear coin. It's even easier when all class can be described as one of three things: damage sponge, health bar filler, or health bar depleter. That seems to be what trinity people like.
Even a game like RIFT where classes can perform more than one role has a very narrowly defined approached to ever single encounter. You're going to fight every single boss fight the same way and you're going to clear trash (only if you have to of course) exactly the same way every time. Some fights have the added depth of disco dancing while you fight. This is because there isn't any depth to the combat so do a dance to add variety and "challenge" to the fight even though the dances are exactly the same every time too. And that seems to be what trinity people like.
Guild Wars combat isn't like this. Guild Wars relies on shutdown to mitigate damage, in combat buffs to increase others performance, skill combinations to increase effectiveness, debuffs to provide vulnerability for damage, dodging as a damage mitigator, and many small heals from participants to keep health bars filled. This all requires multiple people coordinating their efforts together to achieve success. That is what grouping is about to me.
I've been in some areas (public instances where anyone can come join no less) where I worked together with some strangers I met to defeat the content. There were puzzles and tricks that required at least two people. This is the most difficult grouping I've ever had in a game and mostly because it really required working together with others. That is what grouping is about to me.
Grouping for some people just means clicking the yes button and pressing 1, 2, 3, 4 and that's okay for them because they need that direction and structure. I don't think GW2 is a bad game because it's players don't need that though.

Thank you for your perspective. I really appreciate it when high level chime in. Im only half way to 80 with my toons and like you it feels like a single player game early on. When I do group with people they are not geared or / skilled to play a specific role so its usually dps/support for everyone.
I will disagree wtih your first statement tho about it not being the games fault in that even my level 40ish warrior and guardian cant truly "tank" the hard stuff or at least not with any of the healers ive encountered and they full master crafted / geared toughness etc etc. And my heal speced mage/ ranger / engineer etc cannot heal a tank with the gear and skills available at level 40ish.
The thing is- normal PvE- outside of dungeons- there is not a need to really group up and have roles. Maybe at 80 there is but you would think if the game was ment to have traditional roles, and GW2 devs said themselves they have eliminated the trinity, then you would play roles at the lower levels also.
Look, I like the game- I will join a guild and stuff eventually but like you said yourself- you didnt group/ guild up till level 80- and that seems like to me a mistake on the development side of the game to have players go all the way to 80 before guilding or grouping up for things....

Ah, I am glad that my point was so easily discerned. Let me clarify. I do not know EVERYONE in the guild, only about 10% of them and those are people that followed ME to the game. Wanna know how I met them? By random chance in other MMOs (DDO and LotRO to be specific). I know I will also meet new friends in GW2 and it will just happen naturally. Or I can go out and seek others to help and form new bonds with.
My other guildmates I am still getting to know. I joined the guild in April...LONG before launch and knew absolutely NO ONE in the guild. I made the effort to create social connections and it was easy to do so.
I have also added a few friends along the way in game. Not all are added to my friends list but I DO recognize others' names as people I have helped or whom have helped me. The game encourages people to work together in so many ways that it's almost impossible not to come across people you could get along with if you made the effort.
As for that statement above, that is pure choice and pure opinion. You cannot claim such a statement is an absolute truth about the game because the game's mechanics are set up to be VERY group friendly unless you choose for it NOT to be. At least people have a choice and are not forced down one path. Well, unless you want to do dungeons...there is NO SOLO mode for those at all. If YOU personally want the game to be more group friendly, then reach out to others and stop projecting YOUR PERSONAL choices onto the mechanics of the game claiming that it is somehow built in a manner that is prohibitive of your wishes.
One of the most annoying things in life is when someone is presented with a solution that is viable but instead chooses to continue complaining instead of offering any possible solutions of their own.
So what are your ideas or solutions for this "not group friendly" aspect of this game?

I will find a guild group etc.
I just posted a reply to a gent above who did not "need" to group untill level 80. And when he did at 80 its been a lot of fun- I much like him have not found that group yet! I will though im sure of it. What I will say tho is that because there is no real need to group / guild then its harder to find one that suits your style / age / etc.

This article describes how to remove information from Google and other online public records, such as your personal details, in order to protect you from identity theft, safeguard your credit rating and defend your online reputation.
In the past if people wanted to access your public records, they had to visit the county clerk's office. Today, many government documents containing highly sensitive personal data are readily available on the Internet.
Even the Pentagon has had trouble keeping its classified documents off the Internet, but there are some concrete steps you can take to minimize access to your personal information. Hopefully, by the time you finish reading this article, you'll have some idea on how to remove information from public records and other online data aggregators.
Controlling Your Online Reputation & Personal/Private Data
Reputation.com has recognized that everyone from individuals to SMB's to CEO's rely heavily on being able to control their online presence & info, and after consulting with leading internet privacy & online reputation experts, have developed specific services and tools to assist in removal, monitoring, improving, defending and repairing online reputations and privacy. As you'll see below we've introduced some initial concepts you'll need to begin improving your online privacy or reputation situation; however we also realize that not everyone has the time and resources to firstly completely understand and secondly manage the whole "online reputation & privacy" environment themselves. To this end Reputation.com has developed two specific services ReputationDefender® and MyPrivacy®, that can a help you remove, monitor, improve, manage, & repair your online presence.
This is a service that we recommend for all individuals as well as public figures. MyPrivacy offers a number of different levels of service, from simple (& free) monitoring through to a fully managed privacy service, with the Exec package designed for those that are constantly in the public eye and need full and complete online anonymity. As you interact online, join programs, book vacations, engage social platforms or simply subscribe to newsletters etc, your personal info is being carefully stored and aggregated by vast number of companies that in turn provide and sell this data to anyone. To gain control of or simply remove your personal information online, MyPrivacy & ExecPrivacy puts you back in charge.
ReputationDefender® is a very specific service, and unlike MyPrivacy is not something that is recommended (or needed) by most individuals and businesses. ReputationDefender® has been specifically designed for any individual or business that's reputation has been tarnished online through blogs, articles, and review sites by disgruntled clients, enraged friends, or former employees etc. Unfortunately under the law it is virtually impossible to have a court order the removal of online content, however it can be suppressed through techniques that we've perfected though $40+ million in research and development here at Reputation.com. Essentially anyone that Google's you or your business won't look past the first couple pages of search engine results, and if all they find are positive articles, reviews, bio's and other sites then the negative material is substantially mitigated and your reputation will reflect positively on you.
If you have question or would just like to know more - call us on 877-258-6338.
Securing Your Personal Information Online - Get The Facts
Government records are public information
You can't have public records entirely removed from the Internet; access is enshrined in the Freedom of Information Act. Public records such as tax liens, registered voter files, business licenses and property tax assessor files are made available for two reasons: They serve as a source of information for consumer confidence issues such as the true value of property or the legitimacy of businesses and professionals, and they're a powerful way to monitor the actions of government and to keep it accountable.
Since the mid 1990s, states have worked hard to increase the availability of electronic versions of public records. Some states even sell your public records to online people-finder or information brokerage services.
As concerns with privacy protection and identity theft continue to grow, however, governments are adding new protections such as automatic redaction of sensitive information and procedures to have data removed manually. In most cases, however, the default is to keep all information public: The onus falls on you to protect your privacy.

Visit your county clerk to have your personal information altered or redacted.
In most states, you can have certain types of personal data changed in your public records. You can also have other types of information redacted from the electronic versions of those records. Follow these steps:
- Obtain a post office box. Certain types of records, such as voter registration forms, require an address, but a post office box can be used for many government documents in most states.
- Visit your county clerk and review your public records. Ask what information can be removed, what can be redacted, and what can be changed. On many documents, you'll be able to have your telephone number and most of your Social Security number redacted. You can also often have your PO box listed as your address.
- Check the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) database at the county clerk's office. The UCC database lists information on property ownership and liens and may contain your Social Security number. The clerk may not automatically show you this database when you ask to see your records, but the information is still accessible to the public.
Following these steps, you can ensure that only essential information is available from government sources. To learn more about how to remove personal information from public records, see these eHow articles: "How to Delete Personal Information From Public Records" and "How to Remove Data from Public Records."

Unfortunately, simply changing your public records won't automatically protect your personal data. There are dozens of information brokerage services that sell or give away your personal information and that will continue to provide the nonredacted version of your public records unless instructed otherwise.
Most of these companies will remove personal information not derived from government documents from their databases, although some require you to make a request in writing and to provide some proof of identification.
Many people-finder services won't remove information found in public records, however. But if you have already visited your county clerk and had your personal information redacted or altered, you can request that the information brokerage update your record. Subsequently, only the information shown in your current public records will be displayed.
In the unlikely event that an information brokerage refuses to update your information, you can submit a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC won't act on behalf of individuals, but if enough complaints are lodged, it may launch an investigation into the business. These are just a few steps on how to remove information from public records.
Control your privacy through online reputation management tools.
Keeping your sensitive personal data private requires regular effort on your part. Information brokerages use automated data collection methods, so whenever something new appears about you, that information will end up in their databases. They may find new information from new public records or by buying it from the companies you use online.
Unless you have the time to proactively monitor every single people-finder site yourself, your best bet is to sign up for a reputation management tool such as Reputation.com's MyPrivacy product. MyPrivacy does the work of monitoring information brokerages for you, alerting you whenever new findings appear. In addition, MyPrivacy offers a simple, one-click interface for opting out of people-finder services.
By combining the redaction and record-alteration tips above with a subscription to MyPrivacy, you significantly reduce the chances that unscrupulous individuals will be able to access your personal information to hurt you and your family, conduct identity theft, or engage in defamatory activities. MyPrivacy provides comprehensive, real-world privacy protection over the long term, regardless of what protections are ultimately offered by your state government.

Matcha in workout shakes
I've taken to adding matcha to my morning and PWO shakes and thought I'd mention it given that at least a good amount of you guys use green tea pills and this may be a cheaper way of doing that. Great anti-oxidants and a bit of caffeine, overall metabolism boosting effects, and personally I'm starting to really enjoy green juices and ingredients in my shakes.
The cheaper way to get your green tea is to brew it.
Which I do, but nothing wrong with adding some matcha to my shake as well. I enjoy drinking matcha tea anyway, and some sencha and other forms I import as well.

(1910-2007) A well-known Victoria Centre member with a gift for design and fabrication. Received the Service Award in 1968.
GEORGE BALL (1910-) is well-known in the Society for the superb instruments he designs and fabricates in his basement workshop. Usually these incorporate some unique features. His observatory, outside his Victoria home is a case in point Instead of having the usual rotating dome, his entire observatory rotates. Instead of having wheels running on a circular track, here the track is above the wheels to prevent dirt from falling onto the rails. To form the circular track, Ball built a tool specially for the purpose. Inside the observatory is a 30-cm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope built entirely by Ball including right ascension and declination scales with verniers, engraved and nickel-plated by himself. The telescope can be smoothly moved along either axis by variable-speed motors easily controlled from Bali's comfortable observing chair complete with a crank by which he can raise or lower himself at the eyepiece. Other equipment he has designed and built include a mirror grinding machine, an aluminizing apparatus, a lensless Schmidt camera, a cold camera and special silicon rubber molds to make pitch laps used in mirror polishing.
Obviously, all this has required a great deal of talent and time, but George Ball has never shirked from helping others. A year after joining the Victoria Centre in 1955, he was on the Council and in the years since has been National Council Representative, Vice-President of the Centre, Director of Telescopes and Observations, and National Co-ordinator for Instrumentation. He has used his own equipment to aluminize many mirrors for others and supervised and instructed dozens of members in the construction of their own telescopes. For years he has hosted public observing nights, arranged for displays at hobby shows and assisted at the DAO on public evenings. He received the Service Award [6] in 1968.

Baseball Notebook: Chris Bisson Makes Pro Debut
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Former Kentucky All-Southeastern Conference second baseman Chris Bisson, a fourth-round pick in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft of the San Diego Padres, has opened his professional career with the Eugene Emeralds in the class A short-season Northwest League.
Former Kentucky right-handed reliever Matt Little has been promoted to the West Michigan Whitecaps of the low class A Midwest League after beginning his professional career with four strong outings in the New York Penn League.
Former Kentucky backstop Marcus Nidiffer has gotten off to a hot start for the Greenville Astros in the rookie-level Appalachian League, belting five doubles and two homers in his first eight professional games.
A native of Bristol, Tenn., Nidiffer has totaled a 1.227 OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) in his first eight professional games, batting .386 (10-for-26), with five doubles, two homers and six RBI. Nidiffer hit homers in back-to-back games, part of a doubleheader on Tuesday. In the twinbill, Nidiffer went 3-for-7 with a pair of roundtrippers and four RBI.
In his five-year career at Kentucky, Nidiffer played in 153 games with 121 starts, redshirting during UK's historic 2006 Southeastern Conference Championship campaign. In his career, Nidiffer batted .284 (121-for-426) with 91 runs scored, 18 doubles, two triples, 25 homers and 84 RBI, stealing 7-of-8 bases and finishing with a .512 slugging and a .377 on-base percentage. Nidiffer secured the starting catcher job in 2008, ripping five homers, before exploding as a potent offensive weapon in 2009. In 2009, Nidiffer hit .312 (49-for-157) with 37 runs, six doubles, one triple, 10 homers and 32 RBI. In 2010, Nidiffer hit .320 (47-for-147) with 32 runs, seven doubles, 10 homers and a career-best 35 RBI. Behind the dish, Nidiffer lead the SEC in pickoffs by a catcher last season, catching four runners off base and nabbing eight runners stealing.

The Career Planning Process
The career planning process is comprised of three major parts: self-assessment, occupational assessment, and career implementation. It is a process that can start any time during the college years, but generally the earlier the better. The emphasis of this process is to learn how to make career-related decisions as they come up. It is a technique that can be utilized to decide an academic major, which activities to be involved in, whether or not to take a semester abroad, what summer experiences to choose, and what full-time occupation to pursue.
Our Goal
Our goal in the Career Center is to educate all Augustana students about the career planning process and to assist them in all phases of development during their time at the college. We believe that the idea of career planning is an important component of a liberal arts education and should be integrated into each student's college experience. We also believe that students are ready to assimilate different parts of this process at different times, and we have developed our programs accordingly.
The self-awareness component involves knowing what questions to ask yourself in order to become aware of your personal preferences and priorities. It is learning to examine an experience for its component parts. Why was a particular class so enjoyable? Was it the material? The professor? The time of day? The fact that you did well? Looking at experiences in this way enables students to discover elements that will be important to their future job satisfaction. The object of this part of the process is to become self-aware and to monitor and adapt to changes in interests, motivations, skills, and work values as they occur. Again, career planning is a process, not an exercise with a specific end point.
Occupational Assessment
Once a student has determined a set of personal priorities for a decision, the next step is to generate and investigate as many options as possible. Obviously, ideas formulated from a base of knowledge are much more likely to satisfy the personal goals involved in the decision. Assessing the feasibility of career options requires knowing how to obtain and utilize information from written resources, technical resources, and from human resources. During this phase of the process students are taught how to transfer researching skills they have developed in an academic context to a career context. Each option can then be weighed against personal priorities, facilitating realistic decision making.
Career Implementation
The last phase of the career planning process involves taking the necessary action to put a decision into effect. It includes the steps to find a specific summer job, internship, or full-time employment opportunity. This requires "know how" on resume writing, interviewing, and job hunting strategies. While this information may be new for students, it is not particularly hard to grasp. Difficulties arise most often when inadequate time has been spent on the self-assessment and occupational assessment phases of the process. Information about job hunting is important, but a positive attitude and a solid base of self-confidence are even more important for successful completion of this phase.

Park makes ambitious works, but not very many of them. She recalls one visiting critic's visit: "She was the most blunt, honest person I ever met. She said, 'Some people don't like me because I speak in such a blunt way, so I hope you don't take this the wrong way. But stop teaching! Work on your artwork. Don't ever think about getting a full-time job. Work part-time and work as minimally as you can and put the most hours of every day into your studio.'"
Park has yet to develop the everyday discipline and sacrifice an artist must cultivate. "Discipline," she says, is her greatest ambition right now.
"I'm in a big dilemma. I'd like to go to more residencies, because they're another opportunity, like grad school, where you get to drop everything and have a studio environment." Park speaks of her time at Skowhegan, after grad school, as a trip to Arcadia.
"Right now, all these things matter: Pay the bills, go to this [opening], car payments. The real world -- living and eating and surviving -- that's been a priority.
"I always have art stuff to do. Now I have school stuff," teaching at Wash. U.
"I come home. Which do I do? I pick school. I spend my whole evening, my whole weekend, preparing for school stuff. Sometimes I don't make time to do my art stuff."
This kind of talk drives Shannon Fitzgerald crazy. Fitzgerald curated both the shows at the Contemporary and Lemp Brewery, and she often hosts the visiting critics. She talks to Park often. Not only does Park fail to seize these opportunities, in Fitzgerald's estimation, she's not taking advantage of other approaches to support her own work.
Park's art, by its very nature, is uncollectable. It's a reflection of Park's nature, Fitzgerald observes: "This all relates to her work, because it's about transit, not being weighted down, having to move. This lightness is what she's looking for."
A girl left behind, an ocean and a continent away from her family, needs to travel light, be prepared to go in an instant.
Yet there are artists, artists Park reveres, who make objects that relate to their unmarketable work, both as a means of exploring those artistic genres and to help pay for the big projects. James Turrell makes gorgeous prints, as well as replicas of his Roden Crater site -- a visual experience within an extinct volcano in Arizona, years in the making -- to pay the bills. Christo, when he isn't wrapping buildings or islands, sells his diagrams for those projects. Such artists aren't selling out -- they're investigating other media and paying the bills, too.
"Documentation," Fitzgerald says. "Right now she's not interested in documentation. She's adamant. Can it become a photograph so someone can buy a photograph? Can she make multiples [of an object or an image]? She still doesn't want to do it. So she'll live a life of honoraria, which don't go very far and you end up spending it all on your work anyway.
"In Chicago, they asked her to make an inflatable ball made out of contact cement [in reference to her installation made of the same materials], which she could easily reproduce and show somewhere else. But she insisted that she would not do it.
"Her insistence," Fitzgerald says, exasperated. "She's gotta figure it out. She makes smaller pieces that are sculptural. She's doing great things with balloons that are becoming objects. Her handmade balloons have a weight and become an object you can look at. So maybe she can start making those things."
Yet for all her frustration with Park, even the pragmatic Fitzgerald admires the young artist:
"I see her as very noble."
"I'm stubborn," Park says with a flare of pride. She's still a young artist, she says. She's still working it out. Those other artists, the ones who turned themselves into small corporations, they figured it out their way, and she's going to figure it out her way.
She admits, laughing at the thought, that she cherishes her naïveté.
Yet she also cherishes her "young struggling artist" status. When she talks about her place in the art world, she talks like someone trying to figure her way in.
For whatever reason, she's not trusting those voices that are saying, "You're already at the threshold. You gotta move."
Yet when she talks about the life in the studio, Park becomes radiant. "I was working in the studio yesterday," she says. "I was making patterns for this idea that I have. It's a ceiling piece. I was thinking about in Gothic churches, the...." She searches for the right word for ribbed vaulting, but "umbrella arch" suffices.
"I wanted to create a space you could walk into. It would be head-height. But since I couldn't attach it to a ceiling, I'd attach it to a wall. It's a cone coming out this way from the wall."
The drawing is lovely, simple, elegant.
"Brian said it would be really interesting if I got involved with the architecture and the surface design. I'm totally interested in it!"

In late October, the USCIS announced that it reached the 20,000 limit on H-1B Master's Cap visas for FY2012. These visas are allotted for petitions involving beneficiaries/employees with at least a master's degree (ie, J.D., M.D., Ph.D., etc.). Once the Master's cap was reached, all petitions falling under this category would be counted against the 65,000 Regular H-1B Cap. As of October 28th, 49,2000 of the 65,000 regular H-1B's have been accounted for – leaving fewer than 16,000 H-1B visas available for this fiscal year.
Based on my calculation, the USCIS is receiving approximately 3,000 H-1B petitions per week – or 12,000 per month. This means that the H-1B cap will likely be reached by mid-December. So if you are looking to submit an H-1B visa this fiscal year, it is imperative that you start the process immediately. Preparing the Labor Condition Application as well as all the supporting evidence can take up to three or four weeks, which will likely mean that your petition gets submitted right around the time the cap is reached.
If your petition does not make it into this year's cap, you can apply for the next fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2012. However, this would mean that the beneficiary cannot start working for the employer on the H-1B until October 1, 2012.

Sorry to hear about your headaches, Kim I used to get a lot of migraine headaches, and then once I went through menopause, that stopped. I hope the doctors don't find anything seriously wrong with you, and they are able to help you manage your headaches. I used to have to cut my headaches off at the pass. I would take ibuprofen the minute that I felt one coming on, and luckily that helped a great deal. However, many times they got really bad, and I would get nauseous and I would have to go to bed. A good sleep would make them less severe, but not always go away.
My husband is out to lunch with his fellow workers. They drove into Chicago, and he walked to meet them at a nearby restaurant.
The furnace guy got here early today. So now I am set for another year.
I got the Disney guidebooks that I ordered from Barnes and Noble. I was just sitting down to check them out, before I checked into MiceChat.

As we reported, Apple quietly released an updated version of iOS 5.1.1 for the GSM model of the iPhone 4 yesterday evening. iOS 5.1.1 build 9B208 is currently not jailbroken, so if you installed build 9B208 by accident, the best course of action would be to restore to the previous build of iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). Apple still seems to be signing 9B206, so if you're looking to run iOS 5.1.1 on your iPhone 4, install the jailbreak-compatible version while you can.
It's currently unknown how long it will take to patch Absinthe for compatibility with the new build, or if it will even be vulnerable to the exploit. Stefan Esser commented on Twitter that he felt it was "highly unlikely that Apple released the update due to the JB," and noted that, "otherwise they would have released the update for all devices."
More likely this is a bugfix for a glitch specific to the GSM iPhone 4. If this is the case, we can expect to see a compatible jailbreak soon. If Apple, for some reason, decided to do a day-one patch of the exploit on one particular phone, then it could take longer. You can tell if your iPhone 4 is the GSM model it has a Micro-SIM card tray opening on the right antenna band. If the band is smooth, you've got the unaffected CDMA model.
Download the older build of iOS 5.1.1 from Apple's servers. [Direct Link]
Did Apple's update affect your phone? Let us know in the comments sections below.

Between your federal and state income tax and FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act, for Social Security and Medicare) withholding, most of us take 18- to 33-percent deductions from our gross pay in our final paychecks. The remainder of our salary probably goes to paying bills, and with luck, into savings.
Around this time of the year, we get reminders to sign up for benefits at the office. Some benefits are paid with pre-tax dollars instead of after-tax dollars. What does that mean, and what are the consequences of pre-tax deductions and contributions?
Pre-Tax Payroll Deductions
The total amount you're paid, before taxes and other deductions, is called "gross wages." Tax laws permit you to deduct certain items from gross wages so the amount you pay or reserve for those items is not counted toward your income for federal and state income-tax withholding. There are other allowances that give you pre-tax deductions to "shelter" your gross income from FICA taxes, too.
Pre-tax payroll deductions enable you to pay for certain items from gross income before your taxable income is calculated. Think of these deductions as non-taxable dollars. In general, these are pretty good deals; however, there can be a catch you should be aware of.
If through your employer you participate in one of the following (note 2010 maximums):
- Health Benefit Premiums (No limits)
- Vision and Dental Care Premiums (No limits)
- Flexible Savings Accounts for Health Care (No IRS limit, limits set by employer)
- Flexible Savings Accounts for Dependent Care ($5,000)
- Health Care Savings Accounts ($3,050 for self, $6,150 for family)
- Commuter Costs ($2,760 limit for parking or transit)
You do not pay taxes on these items, because they are deducted on a pre-tax basis from your wages.
So let's say you had $6,000 in pre-tax deductions for these items. If your income-tax and FICA-tax rate is 25 percent, you just saved $1,500 ($6,000 x 25 percent = $1,500) by reducing your taxable income. Ah, the magic of paying with pre-tax dollars. There is a downside to reduced FICA wages for some, though.
Reduced FICA Wages
"FICA Wages" is defined as "the amount of earned income on which you pay FICA tax" (6.20 percent Social Security Retirement and 1.45 percent Medicare). By making pre-tax payroll deductions for the items in the bulleted list above, you reduce the amount of wages (FICA wages) used in determination of your ultimate Social Security retirement benefit amount.
Your Social Security retirement benefit is based on your 35 highest-earning years. If you have had low to moderate earnings throughout your work history (under about $40,000 in current dollars), you are most susceptible to having your Social Security benefit reduced because of pre-tax deductions. Your pre-tax deductions, while they saved you in FICA taxes along the way, could mean lower benefits. Higher wage earners are less likely to see any decline in benefits, because Social Security replaces a lower percentage of their FICA wages.
So, should you take advantage of pre-tax deductions, reduce your income and FICA taxes, and thereby risk having lower Social Security benefits later? To get reliable guidance on this question, you need to examine your Social Security Statement, which provides a projection of your benefits and an annualized listing of your FICA wages. You should receive this statement annually, or you can request it online from the Social Security Administration.
You can also use the Social Security Benefit Estimator to do hypothetical calculations of the impact of pre-tax deductions on your final benefits. Most people will find that the income-tax and FICA-tax savings will outweigh most reductions in benefits. For people who do not see the tax savings, they should consider paying for some of these benefits in after-tax dollars.

TWICE introduces girls to engineering, supports women in technical fields
As a girl, Nancy Conder's idea of a good time involved taking things apart and putting them back together.
She also loved math, science and playing with Legos. Her father, who taught construction, design, engineering and drafting at Henderson County High School, encouraged her interests.
As a teen, Conder attended the University of Evansville's OPTIONS Camp, a summer camp for students interested in math and science.
The OPTIONS experience was an eye-opener, showing her all the career options possible for a student with interests and abilities like hers. Equally important, for the first time it introduced her to other girls who shared her technical bent. Having those connections made a difference.
"You can always be a loner, and that's OK if you have high self-confidence — but some days you have more confidence than others," Conder said.
Conder went on to attend UE and graduated in 2000 with a mechanical engineering degree. She now works in engineering and quality control at Bristol Myers-Squibb in Mount Vernon, Ind.
Today, Conder is involved with a new group that supports women working in technical fields — and girls who might someday join them.
The group is called Tri-State Women in Computing and Engineering, or TWICE for short.
Conder was one of the steering committee members who formed TWICE. The women considered whether they wanted to establish a local chapter of an existing organization or whether they wanted to create their own group. The women opted to form their own group, and thus TWICE was born.
"This gave us a chance to define what we wanted our network to be about," Conder said.
It was founded with a $21,000 grant awarded by the Alcoa Foundation in December 2010.
Part of that grant was earmarked for the establishment of the group itself. With the other part, TWICE is making its own grants to support both individuals and K-12 schools.
TWICE hosts regular networking and professional events, and it's also organized two larger events. A professional conference in May 2011 drew 89 participants, and in March of this year, 124 girls in fourth through eighth grades signed up for an engineering event at UE. Called The Beauty of Engineering, the event took girls through hands-on activity stations to introduce them to electrical, mechanical, civil and computer engineering.
One big reason that TWICE exists: Science, technology and math careers remain male-dominated arenas.
One of the group's main goals, Conder said, is to convey, especially to young women, this message: "It's socially acceptable and exciting to do the field of engineering."
According to a federal government report released in August 2011, in 2009 women made up 48 percent of the total work force, but only 24 percent of the science, technology, engineering and math work force.
The report was issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economics and Statistics Administration.
That disparity has remained fairly constant over the past decade, the report said.
The disparity varied widely, depending on the type of job. On the high end, women held 40 percent of all physical and life sciences jobs. But at the same time, women held only 14 percent of the nation's engineering jobs.
Because of that reality, TWICE member Melissa Bippus said she values the social and professional network that TWICE provides.
Bippus is a senior engineer in the ice and water group at Whirlpool's Evansville design center.
She said TWICE members can be a great source of advice and tips on both career issues and personal challenges — like how to achieve a work/life balance.
"It's good to meet with people and find out how they're handling that type of thing," she said.
Does it really matter that women are underrepresented in science and technical fields? Deborah Hwang, an associate professor of computer science at the University of Evansville, believes it does.
"There are some things men don't think about — not because they're not enlightened, but because it's not part of their daily life."
As a simple example: If the world had more female automotive engineers, Hwang said, it's likely that purse holders would be a standard vehicle feature.
"The world would be very different if there were more women doing computer science and engineering," Hwang said.
"Women bring a different viewpoint in how things could work."

Ellipses and Finite Blaschke Products
by Ulrich Daepp, Pamela Gorkin and Raymond Mortini
firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
The geometric properties of Moebius transformations are often the focal point of a first course in complex analysis, while the same properties of products of such transformations are not. We take a closer look at products of Moebius transformations that fix the point zero, or Blaschke products of finite degree. For degree two, we consider products with two zeros: one zero at zero, and one nonzero zero. Given a point w on the circle, the Blaschke product will map exactly two points on the circle to w. Any line joining those two points will pass through the nonzero zero of the Blaschke product. Drawing several of these line segments simultaneously produces an attractive asterisk with all lines passing through the nonzero zero of B. Does anything interesting happen for higher degree? The answer is affirmative. The goal of this paper is to present a surprising geometric property for Blaschke products of degree three, and an unusual algebraic formula for Blaschke products of general finite degree.
A Cohomological Viewpoint on Elementary School Arithmetic
by Daniel C. Isaksen
From finite group theory to algebraic geometry to complex analysis, cohomological methods play a major role in modern mathematics. Mathematicians usually are surprised to learn that the traditional addition algorithm from primary school is also linked to cohomology. The goal is to present some introductory notions of cohomology from familiar principles, not from sophisticated abstract principles. The reader needs only a familiarity with the basic notions of finite group theory, such as homomorphisms and quotient groups.
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in Two Dimensions
by Bennett Eisenberg and Rosemary Sullivan
firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
The fundamental theorem of calculus is divided into two parts, a static part and a dynamic part. Many calculus books state that Green's theorem is a two-dimensional generalization of the static part, i.e., the part that says that an integral of a function over a fixed interval can be found by evaluating the anti-derivative of the function at the end points of the interval. In this paper we present a two-dimensional generalization of the dynamic part, the part that says that the derivative of the integral of a function over increasing intervals is the function. This generalization follows from what we call "the little coarea theorem," a simple version of the coarea formula from geometric measure theory. We use our results in turn to derive a generalization of the shell method for finding volumes of revolution. We also derive some interesting connections between Green's theorem and derivatives of integrals of functions over increasing regions in the plane.
Cutting Polyominos into Equal-Area Triangles
by Iwan Praton
Can you cut a square into an odd number of equal-area triangles? (Try it!) The answer is no, but a proof—finally provided by Monsky in 1970—is surprisingly difficult to find. In a 1999 MONTHLY article, Stein asked this question for polyominos, i.e., he wondered whether a polyomino can be cut into an odd number of equal-area triangles. He conjectured that the answer is no, and he proved the conjecture for polyominos with odd area. In this article I present a proof for all polyominos.

Status: On Roadmap
It would be good if EV Email Archiving has the ability to generate report(s) as part of the intrinsic functionality of an Email Archiving run that detail when the run was started; detail what was archived and how long the archiving run lasted.
As this is already part of a FSA archiving run it makes sense, dependant on overhead of the server, for reports to be generated on Email Archiving runs too.
At present you are only able to produce a report if you run the Email Archiving task in Report mode which will tell you exactly what will be archived/meets the policy requirements.

Coronary heart disease is the No. 1 killer of men and women in the United States. Diagnosing and treating it is crucial to preventing a heart attack.
When you have coronary heart disease, the small blood vessels that bring blood and oxygen to your heart muscle become narrow. This is usually because of plaque build-up in artery walls, a condition called atherosclerosis. When the amount of blood getting through these narrowed vessels slows down or stops, it can cause symptoms such as chest pain, fatigue, and breathlessness, and can even cause a heart attack.
Several tests, such as an echocardiogram and angiography, can give your doctor needed information about your heart health and help determine if you have heart disease. What tests your doctor chooses to run will be based on your symptoms and health history.
Related: Family History of Heart Attacks Doubles Your Risk
Testing for Heart Health
Getting your medical history, your family's medical history, and detailed information about your symptoms are key. Along with a physical examination, these are first steps your doctor will take toward making a diagnosis, says Prediman K. Shah, MD, director of the cardiology division at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles.
This information gives your doctor an idea of what may be happening with your heart and guides his or her decision about which of the following tests to order:
- Blood tests. As part of a routine evaluation, your doctor will order blood tests to check for high cholesterol, diabetes, an underactive or overactive thyroid gland, and levels of electrolytes and potassium, which may affect the electrical system of the heart.
Electrocardiogram (EKG). Doctors often give patients an EKG to get a starting point for a cardiac work-up. An EKG is inexpensive and easy to obtain. It measures the electrical activity of the heart, which can show characteristic patterns associated with heart disease.
"An EKG can tell you whether a patient has an enlarged heart and which part of the heart is enlarged," Shah says. It can also tell your doctor whether the rhythm of your heart is normal or abnormal, and can raise suspicions that someone is currently having a heart attack or has previously had a heart attack.
- Stress test. If your doctor suspects that you have blocked coronary arteries, he may order one of the many forms of a stress test. One example is an exercise stress test, in which you walk on a treadmill or exercise on a stationary bike while your blood pressure and the electrical activity of your heart are measured. "It can unmask hidden obstructions" Shah says.
- Echocardiogram. In addition to other tests, your doctor may order an echocardiogram, which is a noninvasive ultrasound. Although this test is not primarily used to diagnose narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, it can uncover a hole in the heart, leaky heart valves, or signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure. It can also tell the doctor if there's fluid around the heart.
- Angiography. If your symptoms are severe, your doctor may decide to go straight to an angiogram to determine the condition of the heart's arteries. This involves threading a catheter through a large blood vessel — usually in the upper thigh area — towards the heart; a dye is then injected into the catheter to outline the coronary arteries. A noninvasive magnetic resonance angiography (MRI) or computed angiography (CT) can also show any narrowing of blood vessels.
- Electron-beam computed tomography. This test looks for calcium deposits in your arteries. Doctors use this test when they suspect plaque build-up (which can contain calcium) in the arteries despite a lack of heart disease symptoms. A doctor may use this test for patients who are at risk for heart disease, but not sure they want to modify their behavior or take medication.
- Nuclear ventriculography. This test uses a radioactive material injected into your vein to show your doctor the chambers of your heart. It is mostly used to measure how well your heart muscle is pumping the blood through your heart.
Related: Coronary Artery Disease and the Risk of a Heart Attack
Fortunately, these tests are widely available in most localities, so your primary care doctor can order many of them to assess your heart health. Sometimes a patient is referred to a cardiologist before testing. Fifty percent of the time, the first sign of a blockage in an artery is a heart attack or sudden death, so it's important to talk to your doctor about your family history, health habits, and any symptoms you're experiencing. Together, you can decide if and when you should be tested for heart disease.
