Coats Urges Congress to Follow the Hoosier Model
WASHINGTON, DC – Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) today spoke on the Senate floor urging Congress to follow the Hoosier model and create a more efficient and fiscally responsible government.
The following are excerpts from his speech:
"The spend less, borrow less and tax less Hoosier model has resulted in balanced budgets, job creation, and a triple-A credit rating. In contrast, the spend more, borrow more and tax more approach in Washington during the last four years has resulted in fewer jobs, higher debt and a threatened downgrade from credit agencies."
"Whether lawmakers want to admit it or not, the crux of our problem is this: Washington has promised Americans far too much and committed well beyond our means. Federal spending and borrowing cannot continue at the current pace, without dire consequences."
"We have proven in Indiana, that good policy – no matter how politically difficult it might seem at the time to achieve – does translate into good politics. But much more important than the politics, good policy can translate into strengthening our economy, improving the lives of Americans and providing opportunity for future generations. It's time we learn that lesson here in Washington. It's time that we exhibited the political courage to stand up and do what I think just about everyone in this body understands and that is get a hold of runaway spending and borrowing that is putting us in a very deep fiscal hole."
"We cannot continue to keep America on the edge of uncertainty in terms of what our fiscal future will look like."

More lying about the Olympic regeneration of East London
Nick Whitten recently posted a guest contribution by Matthew Black of estate agents CBRE on the Estates Gazette Olympics Blog. On their website CBRE describe themselves as 'key property adviser' to the now defunct London Development Agency in relation to the London 2012 Olympic Games bid.
In his contribution Mr Black wrote of the Olympic Park:
It also had its issues including heavily contaminated ground, buildings that were no longer fit for purpose, electricity pylons crossing the whole site and Europe's largest redundant fridge mountain. This was an opportunity to revitalise an area of London that had suffered from a lack of investment for a number of decades and the Games was the opportunity to rectify this and bring it back to becoming a core part of London again.

Local Heroes
By Leah Borromeo
The motto of the Games is "inspire a generation". However, not everyone is enthused. Londoners from the poorest parts of the city facing major upheavals from losing their homes, livelihoods and public spaces to the mercy of a few weeks of medal-chasing over the summer. They believe that the Olympics gave local councils and big business an excuse for a land grab - in which the community had little or no say. When they voice their opposition, they are hushed by the machinery of bureaucracy, the suppression of protest and the reality of losing the roofs over their heads. But their concerns are as real as the Games itself, which have received some £9.3bn in UK public funding. Community life will continue long after the athletes, the fans and the confetti have gone. I spent a week listening to and gathering the stories of Londoners shouting at the walls of an Olympic Jericho.
Joe Alexander, 38, is in property maintenance. He lives on the Carpenters Road estate and is vice chair of the local campaign group Carpenters Against Regeneration Plans. I spent the day with Joe - a quiet, eloquent divorcee and father who moved to Stratford in London's East End in the hopes of starting a new life

AdiZones: Rewriting the 2012 Olympic Legacy as Permanent Branding
By Alberto Duman
Right from the outset, the notion of "legacy" has been predominant in articulating the value of hosting the 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games in East London, the argument being that the long-term regeneration benefits would ultimately prevail over the aggressive land restructuring, everyday disruption and unbalanced socio-economic shifts characteristic of the years leading up to the 2012 Games. Subsequent to the awarding of the 2012 Games, the emphasis placed on such explicit non-sporting benefits as added long-term values has been confirmed as one of the most decisive assets of the London bid, contributing a great deal to the final awarding decision by the IOC.[1] This legacy, we are told, is why the London 2012 Games will be "unique" and "different", a pledge clearly spelled out through "five promises to set the scale of our ambition":
- To make the UK a world-leading sporting nation
- To transform the heart of East London
- To inspire a generation of young people
- To make the Olympic Park a blueprint for sustainable living
- To demonstrate the UK is a creative, inclusive and welcoming
place to live in, visit and for business.[2]
Although the national dimension of these ambitions is clearly emphasised, a more specific focus is placed on "transforming the heart of East London", to "create a well-planned and well-managed environment in and around the Olympic Park which will attract business investment and promote recreational and cultural use for years to come".[3]

Volume 8 Issue 2 - The Making
of a Podcast (Part 1)
By: Virgil E. Varvel Jr.
Keywords: Podcast, Audio Recording,
Syndication, RSS, mp3
The 'hot' topics in distance education as in any
field are constantly in flux. One key phrase today is flexible learning or
the idea that instruction should be flexible enough to meet the varied needs
of distant students. Flexibility can come in many forms, from the assessment
of students to the timing of course activities to the actual method of instruction.
Into the ideals of flexibility we can thrust the idea that there are certain
preferred pedagogies that seem to define an online learning paradigm. Often,
this paradigm includes the shift away from lectures and PowerPoints to other
means of instruction. Therein lies a conundrum. What about students who actually
do learn well from lectures or content that perhaps can be delivered well
through a lecture (at least in part)? Perhaps there is such a thing as a
monologue that is both informative and dynamic enough to keep the attention
of the students. Such an option could be provided as just that, an option,
in order to allow for flexibility. Such an option could also be provided
not as the central aspect of the course, but as an alternative to other forms
of content delivery that are coupled with valid and authentic assessments
that integrate the students with the content. Once framed in this way, my
own initial resistance to the use of certain pedagogical practices discussed
herein began to fade, and I experienced a newfound appreciation of the possible
educational effectiveness of propertly utilized podcasts, yet another hot
term in the world as a whole today (although the word 'hot' may have been
more appropriate about a year ago).
What is a Podcast?
Simply put, a podcast is a syndicated audio file.
In other words, a pod cast is a collection of audio files that can be subscribed
to so that when a new audio file is added to the collection, those subscribed
to that collection are able in some way to automatically receive the updated
content without specifically requesting the given file. Podcasts rely on
a form of RSS or really simply syndication to allow a device or program to
recognize when audio content has been added at a remote site. The device
or program then retrieves the updated content and creates a local file, often
with additional information that helps to describe the newly uploaded content
such as a description, author, image file attachment, etc. So a podcast is
a combination of audio files and Web files that index the audio files for
audio players.
Walk Me thought the Process, That's Why
I'm Here.
Step 1: Prepare
I know that everyone wants to just jump right
in, but if you really want a quality podcast, you should start with a little
preparation. You should be able to answer all of the following questions
before you begin. There are probably other questions that will occur to you
as you produce your podcast too.
Step 2: Record or Procure
an Audio File
The next step to becoming a podcaster is the
easy step. All you have to do is come up with an audio file. Although you
could really use any file that you wanted to create an syndicated feed, the
preferred audio file currently is an mp3 file, but .wav, .ra, .mid, .mpg,
and others could also be used. There are also enhanced podcasts now that
use m4a, m4b, or m4p, but you can worry more about those once you have some
experience. Generally, you can record your audio in just about any file format
and worry about converting it to mp3 in the next step.
To make a recording, there are many options. In
the field, I personally use a 60GB G5 iPod with Belkin's TuneTalk stereo
microphone. For studio recordings, ION has a small room set up with two professional
quality microphones, a mixing board, a phone bridge, and an audio editing
computer with several software packages. One could go as simple as using
the Sound Recorder application that comes with Windows or Garage Band Suite
is a good choice on a Mac. To port audio from a sound or video recording,
you may need additional equipment such as a video board or firewire port
on your computer to input digital video signals from which the audio can
be extracted. When inputing audio from an external analog device, I use an
external Creative Labs Audigy board with fiber optic auxiliary input, but
there are many options out there.
The key is to figure out what the source
of your audio will be. Determine your budget for spending on recording
equipment. Then gather the necessary equipment and make your recording or
purchase a pre-recording segment that you desire to use.
Tips to/about recording audio
Step 3: Edit the Audio
Once you have recorded the audio, you need to
digitize it or move it to your computer and produce the final audio file
that will be podcast. If you used a computer-based recording system such
as a typical computer microphone and recording software, then the file is
already on your computer.
There are many programs out there that allow you
to edit audio on your computer. One popular free tool is Audacity.
I generally use Cool Edit (now Adobe
Audition) or Garage
Band components on a Mac, but there are any number
of products that provide all of the functionality you will need. All you
need is a program that will input the file type that you have and output
the file type that you need. The only extra features that are necessities
are the ability to crop the audio files to remove parts that you don't want,
the ability to merge multiple files together, and the ability to control
the volume of the audio file.
Tips for Editing the Audio
Step 4: Putting it on the Web
This step is actually really easy. All you have to do is find
a place on the Web to put your audio files. This can be anywhere on the Web.
When you create your actual podcast feed, you can use any URL to direct
the user to your audio file. You don't even need your own Web hosting service,
which can cost money but can be convenient. There are many sites that are
specific to serving podcasts, but you can really put them anywhere. A few
of the popular places for serving right now include MyPodcast,
MySpace, and any Blog
provider that allows file attachments such as Blogger.
One you have a site, simply upload your .mp3 file to the site and mark down
the URL where the file is at. Most hosting sites will have a Web interface
for uploading your file. If not, directions should be provided on how to
FTP (file transfer protocol) your files to your space.
Step 5: Creating Your Feed
All of the steps above are pretty easy. This step can be easy,
but may take you a while. In order for others to subscribe to your podcast,
you need to have an RSS feed that provides information about your podcast.
This RSS feed is an XML file that is updated with each additional podcast
episode. The feed is a text file that provides specific information about
the audio file that is used by various programs such as iTunes to describe
and subscribe to the feed. Each time a new audio file is added, the RSS feed
is updated with information about the new file so that subscribers can automatically
download the new episode. But you have to first create this XML file somewhere,
somehow, and then have a method for updating this XML file everytime that
you add a new audio file or episode to your podcast. There are at least three
ways that you can accomplish this task. I will outline each of these
methods in the next Pointers & Clickers article.

Yahoo Tech will provide information on gadgetry in 18 categories, including cellphones, laptop computers and digital-music players. In each category, Yahoo will highlight the top five products according to Consumer Reports, which is providing product ratings under an exclusive deal…
There already is a website like the one described, and it's called CNET. We'll see what Yahoo does to make their version unique, and hopefully it's more than including Consumer Reports ratings.

The World Cup...of Fencing?
Nzingha Prescod's been fencing since she was nine years old, and she knows how to foil an opponent.
At 17, the recent Stuyvesant High School graduate has already vied for medals in China, Slovakia, Hungary and El Salvador. One place she's never competed? Her hometown of Brooklyn, New York.
That will change this weekend, when Nzingha competes at the Fencing World Cup, held at the Brooklyn Marriott, Friday June 18 through Sunday, June 20.
She's one of the 367 fencers from over 20 countries who will be in attendance.
"I've been doing this for so long, but I still get nervous," Nzingha said at a recent practice at the New York Fencers Club. "It's the first time lots of my friends will see me compete."
Nzinga and her fellow club mate Nicole Ross are in training to qualify for the 2012 Olympics.
All six medal winners from New York City who competed in the last Olympics were fencers.

This issue's cover features work by Yuko Oda, associate professor of fine arts. Oda was inspired to create her sculptural installation series, "The Unbearable Lightness and Heaviness of Being," during an artist's residency where she worked on an organic farm. She explains: "My farm task was weeding, and as I got my hands dirty with the earth, the idea of roots combining with butterfly wings came to me." To create the delicate sculptures, she used Autodesk's Maya software and rapid prototyping 3-D printing technology. "The The 3-D modeling technology was an essential tool to make this transformation," she says. "Parts of the sculpture are so intricate that creating them without 3-D printing technology would be nearly impossible."

Babies with loud painful sounding cries have gas?
NO – Why would gas pains go away with car rides or a vacuum cleaner? Only 2% of babies have serious stomach problems. Many babies sound like they're in pain but like smoke alarms, they can only make one sound to attract your attention.

This open thread is your space to use as you like. We invite you to discuss current and traditional etiquette. Feel free to ask questions of each other and the community moderators here.
I work with a college-aged girl who is partially deaf. I am about 8 years older than her. She is extremely sweet and likes to talk to me. However, she is loud when she talks b/c of her hearing loss. She comes and stands in front of my desk and doesn't really take cues that I am busy or that there are people reading around us. I try to talk to her as much as I can, but sometimes I get up and pick up something as though I need to go to another room b/c she just stands over me. For example, when I try to give a fleeting hello with a smile, she still stops and waits for us to have a conversation. I am the only person to whom she does this. I like her very much and would be so upset if I ever hurt her feelings, but it's very hard b/c I feel like I get trapped at my desk. Any suggestions?
Regarding her trying to have a conversation at bad times, you can say "I'm sorry. We'll have to finish this conversation later. I have some work I really have to get to."
Regarding the speaking loudly, is there a back room or some other semi-private area you can direct her to? You can say something like, "I think so-and-so is trying to concentrate. Let's go to this other place to talk so we don't bother him."
In my experience, people with hearing problems sometimes miss cues, but they are also generally aware that they sometimes miss cues so they appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
Sounds like your colleague can't take a hint. Perhaps the forward approach is what is needed, which would also be doing her a favor, since she seems to not understand office etiquette very well. The next time she does this, I would say "Can I help you with something?" If she says no or shakes her head, then point to your computer or work station and tell her you are busy and smile sadly, then continue working. Unfortunately, friendship or not, your job is to be able to do your job, and this co-worker is distracting you from having that accomplished. It sounds like others are getting distracted from her presence also, which could fall back on you if they complain, if they assumed you were encouraging her visits.
Another thing you can do is take her out for lunch, or take her aside, and tell her that her visits get distracting.
Thank you both for your very helpful comments. I thought I included the fact that I work in a library, but I realize that I did not. This is why the loudness of her voice makes me anxious, because I get nervous that a patron is going to get upset. Sometimes I will see her walk through the front door, so I am able to preemptively get up from my desk and busy myself somewhere, but sometimes I am involved in something at my desk and I look up and there she is! Thanks again, I will try to utilize your suggestions.
I am sending out invitations to my Company's 60th Anniversary celebration to our employees. The total invitation consists of a 5-1/2″ x 8″ jumbo postcard-type invitation, a 5-1/2″ x 8″ reply card that is folded over, and a reply envelope. In what manner and order should I stuff the outside envelope? Thank you!
If I am picturing this right, you should put the reply card in front with the flap of the reply envelope over it and the rest of the envelope behind that. Because the actual invitation is the largest item, it can go in the back.

T-wave alternans is a test that looks at microvolt changes in the T-wave on a beat to beat basis. The presence or absence of such changes has been shown to predict or exclude future arrhythmic events. The mechanism of T-wave alternans is unclear, but may relate to calcium metabolism in the heart, and may be affected by conditions such as ischemia or heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether T-wave alternans, as measured through the lead of an implantable defibrillator, is produced by acute ischemia induced by occlusion during percutaneous coronary interventions.

I think I have the skills. I`m a great judge of talent. I just know basketball.
I hate them with all the hate you can hate with. Can you hate more than that? If you can, I hate them more than that.
I`ve always thought if it`s not broke, why fix it?
Everybody looks at his clothes to see what he`s wearing.
I didn`t like how my NBA career ended because I wanted to go out on my own terms. But nobody tried to believe in me, that I could go back and play. I can still play at 39.
We`ve turned down a lot of teams. You have to have your business stuff together in order to make it work. You have to have a team that can play.
I take my son to school and then I drive 45 minutes to practice with my ABA team, the Florida Pit Bulls, from 10 to 1. In the afternoon, I have meetings.
I`m going to learn a lot of coaching stuff and go from there. This is going to be a learning experience. Hopefully it will take me to the next level.
You have to look at how chemistry develops.
I`m not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn`t go to any other team.
When your team drops out, you make the ABA look bad.
I did everything I could to establish myself, but it just didn`t work that way. I`m not angry about that.
If the right people do the right things, we can walk, we can have a future. But if people don`t put time into it to make it run in a right way, I don`t think your team will work.
Your team has to understand that coming into the ABA, you have to have your investments right and sponsorships and people ready to give you money so they can back you up.
I wanted to do something in basketball-NBA or something like that. Being an assistant coach, GM, president, something like that.

Scott Horton Interviews Stephen M. Walt
Stephen M. Walt, professor of international affairs at Harvard University and co-author of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, discusses his article "When did the American empire start to decline;" locating the peak of US global dominance during the first Gulf War rout of Iraqi forces, following the Soviet collapse and "unipolar moment;" the big mistakes and missed opportunities that have degraded US power since then; the Clinton administration's failed dual-containment policy on Iran and Iraq, intended to get Israel more interested in the Oslo Accords but instead creating blowback and eventually 9/11; Walt's belief in the wise projection of power and self-inclusion in the foreign policy "realist" camp; and why a delayed Israel/Palestine resolution is bad for Arab states, the US and Israel.
MP3 here. (29:24)
Stephen M. Walt is the Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international affairs at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, where he served as academic dean from 2002-2006. He previously taught at Princeton University and the University of Chicago, where he served as master of the social science collegiate division and deputy dean of social sciences.
He has been a resident associate of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace and a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution, and he has also been a consultant for the Institute of Defense Analyses, the Center for Naval Analyses, and Singapore's S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.
Professor Walt is the author of Taming American Power: The Global Response to U.S. Primacy (W. W. Norton, 2005), and, with coauthor J.J. Mearsheimer, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007).
He presently serves as faculty chair of the international security program at the Belfer Center for Science and international affairs and as co-chair of the editorial board of the journal International Security. He is also a member of the editorial boards of Foreign Policy, Security Studies, International Relations, and Journal of Cold War Studies, and co-editor of the Cornell Studies in Security Affairs, published by Cornell University Press. He was elected as a fellow in the American academy of arts and sciences in May 2005.
18 Responses to "Stephen M. Walt"
Will someone please wake me when the nightmare of U.S. empire is over. Or at least tell me the time & date that I should set the snooze alarm to go off.
Scott, this is a great interview as usual, but I think it would have been great — and would be great in a future interview — if you would put Mr. Walt on the spot a little bit and ask what it is about the Ron Paulian view of foreign policy that he disagrees with. I'm not asking to you be antagonistic; I realize that, on the whole, Walt and the realists are, relatively speaking, allies of ours. But I think it would nevertheless be instructive to ask one of the leading lights of the realist point of view questions like:
Do you agree that American government's primary, overriding, dare I say exclusive obligation with respect to foreign policy, is to defend the American homeland? If not, why not? If so, how does any of our overseas empire contribute one iota to the defense of this country? Who is it that we need defending against? Who's going to attack a nation with enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world several times over? What threats exist — true, existential threats — that cannot be dealt with through trade and diplomacy? Why is it America feels compelled to manage its foreign relations in such a brutal, ham-handed way, and yet nations from Switzerland to Singapore, from Costa Rica to Croatia seem to survive without so acting?
"Foolish adventures"???
"Evil adventures", would be more "realistic"
The Militaro-industrial complex cannot be profitable if there are no wars. If you can't find an enemy to fight, create one and fight it. If not your investments in weapons development are lost. That's the reality that no one dares to say publicly.
Best regards to Walt. He and John Mearsheimer did us an enormous service with their book "The Israeli Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy." It's the book the Israel-Firsters love to hate.
The U.S. is on the way out. The U.S. Government's criminality both at home and abroad doesn't bode well for us. . . .
Damn straight.
From a coldly analytical standpoint, Iraq has been a modern example of siege warfare. Instead of a surrounded and cut off ancient city-state being pummeled with crude ballistic weapons, we have the modern nation-state; surrounded, cut off, and being pounded with crude ballistic weapons.
IIRC, the 80's saw the acceleration of the diaspora of America's industries, and jobs. The war industries haven't even blinked since the Soviet Union collapsed. They metastasized and infected all kinds of new places. The war on "Drugs" has probably been their most profitable venture thus far. It dovetails so nicely with all the increased militarism that the new "Terrorist" threat has created, too. There's literally a new market for the war industry's' "goods and services" created every day. So they went back to making plows instead of swords after WWII, well when nobody bought their plows after a awhile (about as long as it takes to rebuild a fire and atom bombed industrial base…) they went right back to making swords and vowed to find someone to either sell them to, or stab them with.
The 1991 Gulf War was a low point for US foreign policy..
Remember that the 1990 situation was the result of a decade of unfortunate and downright evil policies. Beginning in Sept 1980 President Carter in his desperation to free the Tehran embassy hostages (probably) gave the Iraqis a 'green light' to invade Iran. Simultaneously the Reagan campaign was (undoubtedly) establishing with Knomeini a covert arms-for-oil relationship which continued until it was partially uncovered by the 1996 Iran-Contra investigations.
Consequently came the end of the Iran-Iraq war – a true "high point" – after which Iraq was due some redressing of Iraq's historical problems – for example: its complete lack of a seaport.. But, as Milton Viorst's on the spot reporting from Iraq and the Gulf showed, General Norman Schwarzkopf and other US officials encouraged the Kuwaitis to provoke Iraq in three ways a cynical strategy of Bush I – who was simultaneously, desperately trying to cover-up his personal role in covert dealings with Iran by the Reaganites.
Very interesting but does Mr. Walt seriously believe Osama bin Ladin took down Building Seven?

A tailor and jeweller with a taste for the extravagant have joined forced to produce the world's most expensive suit.
Made from cashmere wool, skill, and studded with 480 high quality diamonds it's easy to see why the suit is expensive.
But at a whopping £599,000, the price-tag could be enough to make even the most wealthy Russian oligarch think twice before handing over his credit-card.
Jeweller Stuart Hughes said he and pal Richard Jewels spent over 600 man hours putting the suit together but they haven't dared try it on themselves, "I was scared too" he said.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) — Annuities in your 401(k): It's beginning to seem less a question of whether and more a question of when and how.
This week, a bevy of retirement-income experts said annuities should be offered as a 401(k) investment option as well as a default distribution option for when workers leave a company. The experts were speaking at a two-day hearing on lifetime-income options for retirement plans hosted by the U.S. Labor Department's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) and the Treasury Department.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.

For instance, insurers and others want the government to include lifetime-income options as safe-harbor investments. In effect, plan providers and others want to make sure that advisers and plan sponsors don't get sued over any recommended lifetime-income products.
Those and other issues are not insignificant. They must be addressed before Labor and Treasury let annuities become a staple of the $4 trillion 401(k) market. Here's a sampling of the obstacles that must be addressed.
By choice, not default
In his testimony, Christopher Jones, Financial Engines' executive vice president of investment management and chief investment officer, said his company believes that any proposed default retirement-income solution must avoid placing participants into a situation where they could permanently lose access to their money without having made an explicit choice.
In other words, plan participants should be asked if they want to invest their 401(k) money into an annuity when they leave their employer. That transfer shouldn't happen automatically, especially as it's an essentially irreversible decision, or, if not irreversible, certainly a costly decision to reverse given the penalties.
According to Jones' testimony, transferring accumulated 401(k) assets is a complex and high-stakes process. There "needs to be flexibility and choice on behalf of 401(k) participants and plan sponsors," he said.
Education and annual income projections
Not surprisingly, a representative from one of the nation's largest sellers of annuities wholeheartedly supported adding annuities as a default option.
"One of the benefits of offering affordable, easy-to-understand annuities within a retirement plan is that it ensures plan participants receive a constant reminder that they are saving not just to accumulate wealth, but also to help workers approach retirement with peace of mind, knowing they will have income to last a lifetime," Paul Van Heest, senior vice president, retirement plans of TIAA-CREF, said in his testimony.
But it's not enough to add annuities in the absence of education and other information. For instance, he said investors considering lifetime-income annuities should understand it's not always necessary or required to use all of one's retirement savings when purchasing an annuity. TIAA-CREF, for instance, tells participants to buy an annuity that will provide the necessary level of income to cover basic expenses.
Also, Van Heest said retirement plans need to provide workers, at least annually, with an illustration of how much projected retirement income their current account balance would provide. (The Lifetime Income Disclosure Act, sponsored by Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D., N.M.), with co-sponsors Sen. John Isakson (R., Ga.) and Sen. Herb Kohl (D., Wis.), would require all retirement plan participants to receive, at least annually, an illustration of how their current accumulation would translate into income at retirement.)
No portability
Plan participants aren't clamoring for in-plan annuities at the moment. That's one reason why some employers don't want to offer such options to their workers. But the other reason is this: There's little if any portability; it's near impossible for a worker to transfer an in-plan annuity from one employer-sponsored 401(k) to another. And that leads to another issue that must be solved. Plan sponsors don't want to get sued for not offering lifetime income products either as an in-plan or distribution option.

Halle Berry and ex-beau Gabriel Aubry have begun a custody battle over their daughter, Nahla.
Up until now, the pair has kept their breakup fairly civil, opting to split parental time through a series of short-tem custody agreements. Now, Gabriel wants Nahla to live with him.
A tipster told RadarOnline.com that the male model recently began rethinking the current setup when Halle booked a movie that would have her shooting in South Africa for three months.
"It's been pretty difficult for Gabriel to see Nahla the last few weeks," a source close to the situation said. "He's really getting sick of it and it's getting to the point where he is seriously considering his options regarding pursuing permanent custody."
Halle and Gabriel currently have joint custody of Nahla, but she spends more time with her mother. When Gabriel found out Halle had plans to bring Nahla with her to South Africa, that was the last straw.
"That would mean Gabriel not seeing his daughter for three whole months and there's no way he's going to allow that," the insider said. "He refuses to give up rights to his daughter; he loves her more than anything and is determined to be a regular, full-time fixture in her life."
Reportedly, a temporary solution has been reached. Halle will pay Gabriel to come to South Africa as Nahla's full-time caregiver. She's also renting out a house, and the two will try to peacefully cohabitate for Nahla's sake.

A friend of mine bought an HD4850 of XFX and the cooler does spin up to 2000rpm and is smaller, wich makes it noisy, an other friend got the HD4870 from Sapphire and his cooler goes up to 5500RPM and is less noisy at 3500RPM than the XFX @ 2000RPM.

Erik Petersen: Don't mind me
Posted: February 19, 2013|
NO offence if you love Irn Bru and served it at your wedding reception, but I can't really stand the stuff. To me it tastes like something you'd use to clean a printer.
And yet as I type the very prose you now read, I'm sucking down a bottle of the aggressively orange concoction.
It's mid-morning, my coffee is done and Irn Bru is the only caffeinated option available in the Post Towers vending machines aside from the substance that occasionally emerges, hot and belligerent, from the "coffee" machine.
There are five different rows of Irn Bru in the machine, sat there with the other dorky outcasts of the fizzy drinks world, Fanta and bottled Ribena.
They will sit there looking sad and alone like unloved toys until the vending machine guy arrives and restocks it with Diet Coke and other things people actually want.
To my knowledge, nobody except me at the depths of a caffeine binge has bought an Irn Bru from the Post vending machine since 2005, when a mate of mine who claimed to be Scottish, despite being from Warrington, left the paper.
And yet nobody at Post Towers seems to say anything to the perfectly friendly vending machine guy. I suspect this is a Very British Problem.
If you haven't seen it, Very British Problems is a thing on Twitter, the micro-blogging site that I, as a newspaper professional, should now be describing in a paragraph of dull explanatory boilerplate, so if anybody asks that's just what I did. Very British Problem's Twitter handle is @sovery british and the tweets include such problems as:
Not quibbling with the unexpectedly high price, despite being certain your choices fully adhere to the rules of the Meal Deal.
Not quite catching someone's name, meaning you never speak to them again.
Being incapable of placing your items on the counter in a newsagent's shop without saying "just these please".
They're the sort of jokes that sometimes get written off as cheap stereotypes by people livid at their accuracy.
Heck, I recognise myself in them and, as long-suffering readers will know, I'm not even from here.
For me, the familiarity of all this has been jarring, like a scientist who's been living for years with apes and now notices that he's absent-mindedly picking fleas off his mate.
This subtle change in attitude affects my home life as well.
More than half a year ago my wife and I switched television providers, and we forgot to make the call to set up the on-demand service with our new provider. So we've never had on-demand. By calling now, we would be admitting this to Sky.
So we do the only logical thing one can do in the situation – we shrug and accept that we will never have on-demand television.
If we miss the first ten minutes of a programme, we just don't see the first ten minutes. If we miss a programme entirely, we seek out times when it will be shown again. We don't want to be a bother.
It's a way of life I've come to accept. I sit back, crack open an ice-cold Irn Bru and watch the last 20 minutes of Midsomer Murders. I'm very sorry.

USDA Announces Results for 45th Conservation Reserve Program General Sign-Up
Offers Received for 1.9 Million Acres
AMES, IOWA, July 22, 2013 — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will accept 1.7 million acres offered under the 45th Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up. The Department received nearly 28,000 offers on more than 1.9 million acres of land, demonstrating CRP's continuing appeal as one of our nation's most successful voluntary programs for soil, water, and wildlife conservation. Under Vilsack's leadership, USDA has enrolled nearly 12 million acres in new CRP contracts since 2009. Currently, there are more than 26.9 million acres enrolled on 700,000 contracts.
"For 27 years, lands in CRP have helped to conserve our nation's resources and played a part in mitigating climate change," said Vilsack. "American farmers and ranchers continue to recognize the importance of protecting our nation's most environmentally sensitive land by enrolling in CRP. As the commodities produced by our farmers and ranchers continue to perform strongly in the marketplace — supporting one out of every twelve jobs here in the United States — it is no surprise that American producers continue to recognize the importance of protecting our nation's most environmentally sensitive land by enrolling in CRP."
In addition to today's announcement, over the last four years, USDA has set aside significant acreage under CRP's Continuous enrollment programs to target habitat conservation on especially important lands. For example, in March, 2012, President Obama dedicated 1 million acres of CRP to Continuous Enrollment Programs to conserve wetlands, grasslands and wildlife. This year, farmers and ranchers have already offered more than 370,000 acres under Continuous CRP signup, a figure that is impressive given that the lack of a Farm Bill extension last fall meant that CRP enrollment only reopened this spring in May. Lack of a comprehensive Farm Bill this year has resulted in uncertainty for achieving further enrollment objectives under continuous CRP.
CRP is a voluntary program that allows eligible landowners to receive annual rental payments and cost-share assistance to establish long-term, resource-conserving covers on eligible farmland throughout the duration of their 10 to 15 year contracts.
Under CRP, farmers and ranchers plant grasses and trees in fields and along streams or rivers. The plantings prevent soil and nutrients from washing into waterways, reduce soil erosion that may otherwise contribute to poor air and water quality, and provide valuable habitat for wildlife. In 2012, CRP helped to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous losses from farm fields by 605 million pounds and 121 million pounds respectively. CRP has restored more than two million acres of wetlands and associated buffers and reduces soil erosion by more than 300 million tons per year. CRP also provides $2.0 billion annually to landowners—dollars that make their way into local economies, supporting small businesses and creating jobs.
In addition, CRP sequesters more carbon dioxide than any other conservation program in the country, and also reduces both fuel and fertilizer use. Yearly, CRP results in carbon sequestration equal to taking almost 10 million cars off the road.
USDA selected offers for enrollment based on an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI) comprised of five environmental factors plus cost. The five environmental factors are: (1) wildlife enhancement, (2) water quality, (3) soil erosion, (4) enduring benefits, and (5) air quality.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (866) 632-9992 (Toll-free Customer Service), (800) 877-8339 (Local or Federal relay), (866) 377-8642 (Relay voice users).
