Workers' Rights
Across America, working families are dedicated to the economic advancement to promote fairness in the workplace and establish policies that help men and women meet the dual demands of work and family. Yet all too often, workers who attempt to join unions, assert other rights in the workplace, or file complaints with protection or civil rights agencies face employer threats, retaliation and discrimination.
Other issues affecting the well-being of working Americans include tax cuts, bankruptcy reform, and the minimum wage.

Desired Workflow
First I wish to fetch a particular set of questions and answers from a huge set of questions and answers stored in SQL Server (tables tblQuestions and tblAnswers)
Fetched questions and corresponding answers will get stored in a static collection (either
hashmap<key,value>where key will be quiz Id and value will be collections of Qns and Ans
For each http request I have to serve a particular question and its answers on the basis of a unique QuestionId.
Since many students will sit in exam for same quiz then I need not to fetch the same quiz set from DB repetitively, but if some other student of another stream starts his/her quiz then I need to fetch the quiz for him from DB and store it on the server's same static collection
5. A set of quiz will be removed from the static collection once the quiz is over or turned off by administrator.
So basically I want to know what will be the suitable database structure. I wish to remain with singleton pattern, and also wish to make it thread safe either through locks or any other mechanism
Example Model of Quiz
class Quiz
int QuizId; //QuizId
string QuizTitle; // Example - C# Quiz
List<QuestionAns> qnsAns; // List of Questiona and answers related to this Quiz
class QuestionAns
int QuestionId; //unique QuestionId
string Question; // Question Text
List<Answers> answers; //answers to this question ( can be more than one)
class Answer
int AnswerId; //unique AnswerId
string Answer;//Answer Text
bool isRight;//Is this Answer right
Now I actually want to create a thread safe list of Quiz like
How to do this or is there any other much suitable mechanism? I am not having very good knowledge of web application specific data structures.
One possible alternative to such data structure can be following
public sealed class Singleton
private static readonly Lazy<Singleton> lazy =
new Lazy<Singleton>(() => new Singleton());
public static Singleton Instance { get { return lazy.Value; } }
private Singleton()

Students who share their work for the purpose of cheating on class assignments or tests are subject to the same penalties as the student who commits the act of cheating.
When cheating or plagiarism has occurred, instructors may take academic action that ranges from denial of credit for the assignment or a grade of "F" on a specific assignment, examination or project, to the assignment of a grade of "F" for the course. Students may also be subject to further sanctions imposed by the judicial officer, such as disciplinary probation, suspension or dismissal from the College.

This place is amazing. The restaurant is very good, and the staff are super friendly. They will try to accommodate you as best that they can. We came probably 6 hours later than our check in time, and the staff didn't even bat an eye. The scenery at the inn is breath taking. There's a grotto area that has lights on at night, and it's surprisingly romantic. The prices are very reasonable. I'd definitely come here again.

The Inn is in a beautiful location as part of a national forest. The people were friendly and seem to take good care of guests. The food was unexpectedly good in the restaurant--unexpected because the restaurant looks like a small-town, local café, but the food is 4-star at least. The road from Ashland was quite a challenge for me--two lane, twisty. I wish I would have been able to stay longer.

Surprise in the WoodsPosted Sep 13, 2015
Pros: Immaculately clean room and facilities. Friendly folks in all areas.
Cons: Nothing if you want to relax
Location: There is not much except for woods to walk in and a lake nearby. If you want to shop or go to a movie, better stay in Ashland.
If you are looking for a excellent, friendly, wonderful, quiet place to spend a night or a week, this is the place. We had a lodge room, not a cabin, and it was like being home. Then went to dinner in the restaurant and had a great dinner on the porch while music and song by local artists played. The music is not every night, but we were lucky to get this added treat to accompany and excellent meal. If you want a great quite relaxing experience, this is the place.

Not very friendlyPosted Sep 12, 2015
Pros: Location is terrific. Facilities are attractive and very clean/comfortable.
Cons: The food at the restaurant and the staff personalities. The food is mediocre at best and the staff is not friendly at all; professional but not nice
Location: Hyatt Resevoir, Emigrant Lake, Mount Ashland, lots of walking/hiking trails, Ashland proper is 14 miles away if you want some citylife.
The location and facilities are beautiful (if you like rustic, which I do). It is amazingly quiet and peaceful. Close to lots of outdoor activities and recreational areas. It is 14 miles outside of Ashland which I found to be a big plus.

Absolutely BeautifulPosted Sep 11, 2015
This place is amazing. Wonderful friendly staff. Gorgeous simplistic room. Beautiful surroundings. Good food at the restaurant. If we didn't have a time frame to be home we would have stayed longer. We saw a fox on the way up and a fawn on drive out. We are definitely going back.

Holly Hill Nursing Home Administrator Sally Schutte takes her job personally.
Now, she knows how it feels to be caught between a rock and a hard place, between the Devil and the deep blue sea. In fact, she is caught between her commitment to give excellent health care to residents of Holly Hill Health Care & Rehabilitation Center, 501 S. Murphy Ave., and paperwork that didn't accurately reflect the quality of care given at the home.
It is the paperwork that resulted in Holly Hill's recent $5,250 fine.
A news release from the Indiana State Department of Health said, "The fine is based on the findings of a survey that was completed -- on Sept. 22, 2003.
"The survey said that the facility failed to ensure that five of five residents reviewed had their care plans updated to ensure implementation of adequate supervision and assistive devices to prevent accidents."
A later survey, on Oct. 31, showed the issues cited in the Sept. 23 survey had been corrected. But, unless the department's ruling is overturned, the fine will have to be paid and Holly Hill will get a black eye in the process.
Schutte realizes the state health department personnel are doing their jobs and it is important that nursing homes give excellent care to those in their charge.
"We're trying to do our best," Schutte said Wednesday. "We are conscientious.
"The sign out front says 'Holly Hill', but I think of it as Sally's Place. Every day, I ask myself, how can we improve?"
One reason Holly Hill and many other homes have been investigated in the past is due to the large number of requirements they must meet without exception.
There are 203 pages of federal regulations and 136 pages of state rules. If one rule or regulation is broken, the nursing home may be fined or greater action may be taken. Nursing home administrators must be licensed and nursing homes may be closed, if inspectors find infractions to be too great. Administrators may be held responsible.
"It has been said we are more heavily regulated than nuclear energy," Schutte said. "That is not a joke."
Schutte uses the last annual inspection as an example her facility is giving high quality care. At each annual survey, inspectors spend 7-10 days examining each facility. At Holly Hill's last inspection, two tags (regulations) were found to be out of compliance: Schutte had failed to issue "two pieces of paper to residents we discharged. That was all," she said.
In the case of a complaint filed before the Sept. 22 sur vey, Holly Hill was fined due to incomplete paperwork. Care plans had not been updated to ensure five residents who had fallen would not fall again.
A fall does not have to result in injury, Schutte said. A fall occurs when a resident may slide to the floor, roll out of bed or lose their footing.
Holly Hill takes various measures to assure safety, even though inspectors found care plans did not reflect that adequate steps had been taken.
The home has low beds, just inches above the floor, with medical mattresses on either side. These are for residents who may try to climb over the bedrails on traditional nursing home beds. Holly Hill also has personal alarms that are triggered if a wheelchair-bound resident leans too far forward and is in danger of falling. Pad alarms are also used for residents who may try to get out of a wheelchair without proper supervision. Padded clothing is often provided residents with Huntington's Disease. Those residents may be able to walk, but the disease causes unexpected movements that may cause residents to fall.
Since 1987, nursing homes have been prevented from using any type of restraints on residents, because restraints interfere with a patient's rights and personal dignity, Schutte said.
"Where I'm coming from as an administrator is, how do you -- with respect to residents' rights and dignity -- keep an independent resident safe? We do not want residents to fall."
One scenario regularly causes problems for nursing homes: A resident is liable to fall, but refuses to let a nursing home employee stay in the rest room while they use the toilet.
An aide or nurse tells the resident, "OK, I'll wait outside. Let me know if you think you will need help."
Many times, the resident performs the act without assistance, sometimes they become unsteady and fall.
It becomes an issue of safety or dignity, in Schutte's mind.
"This is one of their last areas of control in life -- whether or not they want someone in the bathroom with them," she said. The law states the nursing home must preserve both a patient's dignity and their safety, but the two may be mutually exclusive.
Holly Hill's recent fine was for breach of Federal Regulation 324: "Each resident receives adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents." Yet a 1987 law (mentioned above) prevents nursing homes from using restraints because restraints violate a patient's rights.
"I just want to know how we can adequately protect residents and not violate their rights and dignity?" Schutte asked.
Schutte instructs her staff to cooperate when alert residents use the bathroom by themselves, refuse help, even if they risk falling.
The State had no problem with the number of staff members or the quality of care given at the Brazil facility. Holly Hill was fined because care plans were not adequately updated.
When a person is admitted to a nursing home in Indiana, an assessment of their condition is made, care plans are established for the person and follow-up assessments are made to assure the care plans meet the resident's needs. Weekly meetings are conducted to assess each resident.
Patient falls led inspectors to discover the inadequate paperwork.
Holly Hill has since changed its procedures. Now, when a resident falls, care plans are immediately reviewed to be sure adequate measures are being taken to avoid another fall.
Despite the fine, which Holly Hill is fighting, Schutte believes care is more important than paperwork.
"I'll take a hit on paperwork any day, if we're doing our job, because paperwork does not always reflect performance," she said. "I hope other facilities learn from our experience and do their paperwork."
The recent fine and subsequent reports in various news media have not affected Holly Hill's reputation among its residents. No one has left the home because of the reports and a few former residents have since asked if they can return to Holly Hill.
Although the building was designed for a capacity of 103 residents, the home has asked the State to reduce the number to 62.
"I feel that leads to a more cozy home environment," Schutte said in her office at the nursing home she likes to think of as Sally's Place.

I've been playing sports in gym these last couple days such as football and basketball but after only a few minutes i start to feel like vomiting, i also am getting swety and physicaly exhasted from these minor amounts of physical activity, even pushing the vacum today brought on a sweat. I used to be an endurance runner until about a year ago and haven't participated in sports since then but this seems to be more extreme then just being out of shape also i am currently taking vyvanse.
Why am I getting tired so fast?

Vyvanse is a very taxing medication. It causes you to feel more tired at the end of the day. My guess would be that you're taking earlier in the morning and it's causing you to become worn out before the end of the day. I would suggest talking to your doctpr and see if you can change the time that you take it or see if he/she can adjust the dose. I hope this helps explain your sudden fatigue. Good luck and God bless. Oh yeah, Go Red Sox! :) I used to play baseball too!

Steve Jobs' Super-Yacht Is Impounded in Non-Payment Dispute
TheStreet) -- Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) late boss, Steve Jobs, had looked forward to relaxing on a new boat he designed. But the Venus, a 260-foot, all-aluminum super-yacht (with 10-foot-high windows) wasn't completed and christened until the end of October 2011, a few weeks after Jobs passed away. The custom-made yacht is estimated to have cost more than $138 million -- $12 million of which is the designer's fee. And that's where the problem lies.The designer is Philippe Starck, famous for creating, among other items, a line of plastic furniture (the Louis Ghost chair, in particular) and restaurant and hotel interiors around the world. He and his design company claim that about $4 million of the design fee has not yet been paid. So the yacht has been impounded in Amsterdam, where it was built. Starck is suing Jobs' estate for the balance. Starck's attorney told reporters that the two men worked together for five years to design the craft, but that, since "these guys trusted each other, there wasn't a very detailed contract." Neither side has yet to comment on the suit. For the record, BBC said that in the past, Starck had said the Venus "looks strange for a boat," but it's shape originated with design ideas that he had shared with Jobs. -- Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com YORK (

At 10 a.m., April 7, the county will conduct its Commissioners' Certificate Sale in the rotunda of the Clay County Courthouse.
"As of the end of business Thursday, there were 115 parcels set to be in the sale," Clay County Deputy Auditor Erica Stallcop told The Brazil Times. "We have already advertised the properties in the newspapers three separate times."
Stallcop said owners of the parcels with outstanding taxes have up until the start of the sale to redeem the unpaid amount.
"Also unique to this sale is the owners will have only 120 after the sale to redeem before the deed would possibly be transferred to the individual who purchased the parcel at the sale," she said. "However, the buyer also only has the 120 days to perform the title search and send out the notices to interested parties, rather than the year they have following the countywide tax sale."
Stallcop added the certificates purchased at the sale will be good for six months after the redemption period, in which time the buyer may still petition the courts for the deed, which must be obtained before they officially have ownership of the property.
In an attempt to sell more of the eligible parcels, the commissioners reduced the price on some down to $150 to cover advertising and vender costs. SRI, Inc., Indianapolis, which conducted the county sale in December 2008, will also be auctioning the properties in this sale.
"There were some parcels with thousands of dollars in taxes due and the property needs to be demolished, which costs quite a bit to do," Commissioner Paul Sinders said. "We knew those properties wouldn't sell at those prices, so we reduced them to make them a more enticing purchase."
Sinders added notices were sent to parcels adjacent to those in the sale so they would have an opportunity to purchase them as well.
"The neighbors may want to clean up the property themselves, rebuild or even have an extra lot at their disposal," he said. "The important thing is to get these properties back on the tax roll."
The commissioners decided not to change some of the prices on the parcels because the property is still in good condition.
"We want to sell them to responsible taxpayers," Sinders said. "I pay my taxes and believe everyone needs to pay their fair share, and I think residents want to see these properties sold as well."
Sinders told The Brazil Times the commissioners plan to seek alternate options for sell any properties not sold April 7.
"We wanted to have one more 'live' sale to allow residents to come in and have the opportunity to purchase locally," he said. "However, we hope to put any unsold properties in an online sale down the road."

Dark Summer

by Iris Johansen (Goodreads Author)
Deana M's review
Jan 13, 12
Read from January 08 to 12, 2012
This is my second book that I've read by Iris Johansen. I have to say, I am addicted. Devon is a vet who helps at disaster sights where dogs who have a special ability to find injured people are used. She is there in case anything should happen to the animals. Marrok is on the island where a disaster occurred and his dog Ned (black lab) is there searching for anyone who may be alive, but he isn't there legally. Devon and Marrok meet when Ned is shot. Marrok knows who is responsible and why his dog was shot. Devon takes care of Ned, but she notices that Ned has an ability to heal faster than is humanly or canine impossible. Marrok leaves Devon a note asking her to take care of Ned while he attends to some business. Little does she know that her life will never be same, and she is put in a deadly line of a very dangerous man. Danner is Marrok's enemy and will stop at nothing to get his hands on Ned and 3 other dogs...the dogs are said to emanate a special healing power to those who are sick. Danner wants the dogs dead so he can find out what makes them so powerful. Marrok will stop at nothing to keep those dogs, the dog's guardian's, Devon, and those close to her as well safe. This book is really good and the ending was a bit of a surprise. I highly recommend it.

I use git+bitbucket as my version control system.

git push -u origin master (
origin uses https), I get:
fatal: not a git repository: 'git'
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
My version of git bash is 1.7.10. My OS is Win7.
To my surprise, if I use SSH protocol, I can push. I think there is some trouble with my https or my computer environment.

You said that you were going to ignore me? Lol
I don't know for a fact that you and Wanna are making a lot of money on LGF. Everyone could be lying on here.
Spieth didn't need to win The Masters this year, for UA to win. He was trending well on Twitter and media. More people know about him.
Everyone knows your game too. Hype Jumky Cheerleader. Having a good amount of Bulls and Bears is good for a stock and market as a whole.
Who said I just did long term investing? You do short term trades too. If someone has a break even of $28+, they did a smart thing by selling in the $30's and having a chance to come back in at a lower price.
Do you understand that wanna was trying to get people to buy $LGF at prices of $35 and above?
What's your job at LGF?
You tried convincing people to buy LGF at $35 a share back in Spetember and said it wouldn't see $25. Then you tried convincing people the stock won't take a Divergent dip. Your research has been really off.
You can make good $ and have your stock not go higher at same time.
Do you understand expectations? Apple is close to $180 down from it's all time, despite making a lot of $.
Maybe you're a paid hack. Always pumping up the stock, even at prices of $33+.
Why would I be shorting LGF now? Better stocks to Short and better stocks to buy.
Keep pumping! Hype junky!
She's a hype junky. I'm 99% sure no one is buying LGF at $45 a share.
Who cares how long you've been around? You obviously haven't learned a lot.
I'm assuming that you missed the boat on Google, Amazon, Under Armour, Apple, and Qualcomm's stock price rises in last 12 years, b/c they had P/E's north of 24 for a lot of months and years? P/E isn't everything.
Congratulations on making $. I hope you make millions.
You didn't do the homework and didn't think this Divergent bear raid could come. Now you're calling all of the bears Hedges! Hahaha
It's funny how you were 100% convinced that LGF wasn't going to hit $25 again. Don't you remember the Great Recession and haven't you learned from other stock pullbacks?
I read a Draft Day review and that critic hates it. Good thing they did it for cheap.

The world of federal procurement and acquisition policy is about as insular as it gets in nonclassified government. Few people understand it, and fewer still know how to navigate the maze of rules and procedures that govern contracts the government writes to buy things such as weapons systems, lunar landing modules, enterprise software, computers, desks, chairs, telephones and legal pads. (Paper clips, too.)
But if your closed system has difficult and even intractable problems, which the Byzantine procurement process clearly seems to have, it doesn't really help much to limit the conversation to the people inside your current solar system. Everyone's stuck in the same orbit. So maybe you should call in an outside consultant? Until a few months ago, that was pretty much your only option.
But as everyone surely knows by now, a new combination of technology tools and social-networking skills, collectively known as Web 2.0, has emerged on the scene to help complete strangers solve problems together. The tools range from open-source software and collaborative wikis to Facebook pages and Twitter feeds, and they have changed the way many people talk to and work with one another.
More importantly, they help you widen the circle of potential experts, which means you can build on one another's expertise. Who knows? Maybe there's someone out there buried deep in the bowels of an obscure federal agency who's already found a better way to buy a mousetrap. And maybe he or she has a Facebook account.
That's the premise of a burgeoning round of discussions taking place today in the acquisition community, which has begun adapting those same social-media tools to their own disruptive uses. They call it Acquisition 2.0.
Staff writer Matthew Weigelt, who has been covering the acquisition beat for Federal Computer Week since 2006, writes in this week's cover story that senior officials in the White House, OMB and the General Services Administration are actively seeking help from across the federal government — even the general public — in an effort to break through the acquisition chokehold of inefficiency, lack of accountability and uncontrolled costs.
Hundreds of eager acquisition geeks are already participating, and some fresh new ideas are already bubbling up. It might not be long before they get the rest of us to join their expanding and expansive club.

A revamped assessment process targets the cloud security program's biggest friction point: time.
FCW talked with FedRAMP evangelist Ashley Mahan about her role in helping agencies adopt cloud technology.
One tiny team is at the center of the federal government's push for cloud computing — and all the loud, complicated competing interests that go along with it.
Two key IT modernization bills could move in Congress, despite the compressed legislative calendar and the politically charged election year.
CyTech Services, the veteran-owned small business that may have played a significant role in discovering the OPM hack a year ago, says it's never been paid for that work.
Although most agencies are on track to meet a presidential directive to archive email records electronically, a few will need more time.
Limiting the impact of open source policy to a time- and scope-constrained pilot forgoes a unique and long-needed opportunity to modernize government, argues a leading open source advocate.
Agencies can put more money on mission by analyzing accounts payable data. The former leader of the U.K.'s Government Procurement Service explains what it takes.

Being called a acquisition geek is a compliment - right? Anyway, Matthew's article is "spot-on" and more folks need to engage in the ongoing discourse surrounding the federal acquisition process. Why? If you pay taxes - you're paying for the goods and services that are being purchased by the Federal government. Besides, you never know who will see and pick up on a comment. Your suggestion or idea may very well make a difference on how business is conducted in support of our Nations' governing process.

State Dept. Intelligence Agency Wins Praise
Of the U.S. government's many intelligence agencies, one of the smallest is one of the best. The State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research has only about 300 analysts, but they have made more right calls — or fewer wrong ones — than much larger agencies. Secretary of State Colin Powell has high praise for INR. Some who worked there wish they had tried harder to dissuade him from making his now infamous speech before the U.N. Security Council in which he insisted that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. NPR's Michele Kelemen reports.

What do you guys think?
3 Attachment(s)
Well I'm curious guys, I have a like "new" manifold that I can get but do you guys think I need one? I'm not entirely sure what a exhaust manifold should look like. Does mine look fine? Should I just let it pass and not waste the money?
In the first pic, is that a crack (left one) just past where the pipe splits into two?
If you can't hear it I wouldn't touch it. That's taking preventative maintenance to an extreme. IMO
1 Attachment(s)
Yes it is a crack and yeah haha I figured it was taking it to an extreme. The manifold I could possibly buy I could probably talk him down to $75
might as well buy it and have it available, the crack will only get worse

1. Re: [Javacard] Applet Secure channel problemsSebastien_Lorquet Jul 23, 2014 10:19 AM (in response to 2675093)
a gp secure channel is opened with an application (aid), which means that selecting another application (aid) will break the current channel.
you are opening a channel with the security domain (a0...03)
then you select your app
this breaks the previous channel
then you send an apdu, but the security level is zero, because no security channel was opened with the selected app.
this will definitely never work.
there are only two ways to do something like that:
1) open the secure channel with your app, not with the SD. To do that, you have to manage yourself the INS=50 and INS=82 instructions by forwarding the command to the security domain instance, via the GlobalPlatform API. There is a method for that, the name is processSecurity()
this function must be called each time your app receives an init update or ext authenticate apdu. It will manage the global platform security for you by calling the proper routines in the security domain that handles your app.
if authentication is successful, your SecureChannel instance will show an updated security level and you will be able to unwrap wrapped commands.
the process becomes
-select your app
-authenticate using init update and ext auth
-send wrapped apdus
this should works on most cards, I have tested and used it 2 years ago, so it's a "well established" behaviour.
Your 6D00 failure is strange, I did not know that you could disable that.
2) use the personnalization methods from GP
With this process
-select the security domain
-send INSTALL FOR PERSONALIZATION, passing the AID of the app you want to communicate with
-send STORE DATA commands, they can contain anything.
-these store data commands are handled by the processData() callback that belong to the Application interface (you must implement that, see Application )
-if you want to get data in response to a STORE DATA command, you have to use the Personnalization interface in GP 2.2 admendments. This is not possible with GP 2.1.1, because the Application.processData() method returns void.
Application should work on most cards, Personnalization requires recent (GP 2.2) cards. Moreover, the idea behind this process is intended for card personnalization, not for a deployed lifecycle.
I know you tested method 1. I find this non-working behaviour quite strange, but it's difficult to do the same thing on every card, that would be too easy
I only know one alternative: implement your own GP-compatible secure channel routines. I've also done that before to support R-MAC on a card that didn't support it.
Then, you "just" have to find a way to store GP keys in your application.

David Compton, director of the Barry County Office of Emergency Management, is offering a reward for the return of four computer flash drive units that were stolen from his vehicle on Sunday, Feb. 12.
"I was at home in Monett for just a few minutes and went into the house before heading to the emergency management office," Compton explained. "I got distracted and stayed inside longer than I intended to, and when I returned to my car in the driveway, my briefcase, a case of green and black case of compact music discs and a backpack were missing."
Also missing were field operations manuals for emergency responders and cold weather gear, Springfield maps and measuring devices used by paramedics for onboard patient EKG strips.
Inside the backpack was a separate orange and black flash drive carrier that contained four 2-gig flash drives: one silver, one white and two black.
The incident occurred on Kale Street at about 3 p.m. on Sunday. Compton notified the Monett Police Department, and working together, they were able to recover the briefcase and several other items that were taken from Compton's car.
"The information contained on the flash drives represents hours of work," Compton said. "I am willing to offer a reward to get the drives back intact, no questions asked."
There was also a lot of personal data stored on the drives.
"Those drives contain photos of myself and other local emergency responders at hurricane deployments and other incidents over time," Compton said. "Those are irreplaceable and not of any value to anyone other than myself."
Compton is asking for the return of the flash drives intact.
"Whoever took them can call me, or anonymously turn them into the office of emergency management, the Monett Police Department or The Monett Times and make arrangements for the reward," Compton said.
Compton can be reached at 417-737-1142.

MetroFax Review
There are three plan types you can choose from. The Essential Plan costs $7.95/month (or $6.63/month if you sign up for a year) and allows you to send/receive up to 500 pages/month. The Value Plan offers 1,000 pages sent/received for $12.95/month (or $10.79/month with an annual subscription) and the Professional Plan is $35.95/month for up to 2,500 pages, also combined sent and received, or $29.96/month if you sign up for a year. If you go over your monthly plan allotment, each additional page you send or receive will cost 3¢/page. You can also choose to utilize a toll-free number for an additional $1.50/month.
Signing up with MetroFax is an easy and effortless process. Simply select the country from which you want your fax number to start with (currently only the U.S. and Canada are available), select your state or province and then select the area code of your choosing. These numbers are not listed alphabetically by city or country name, but rather numerically by the area code. You also have the option to select a toll-free number, including 800, 888 and 877 numbers. If you'd like to port your current number, you can do so by contacting MetroFax's sales department via phone.
After this step, you will be prompted to enter a contact email address and then taken to a page to input your billing and payment information. MetroFax does offer a free 30-day trial, however you are required to enter your payment information at signup in case you choose to continue your service after the trial expires; your card will not be charged for the first 30 days. Once your billing and payment information is verified, the confirmation page pops up with your fax number and PIN, which are available to use immediately. We also instantly received a welcome email from MetroFax with this information as well as easy-to-follow steps on how to send and receive a fax with its service.
Your homepage displays a clean, user-friendly interface with four main icons: View Faxes, Send Faxes, Update Account and Help. There is also a drop-down menu that displays your MetroFax fax number, and gives you the option to add another number to send or receive faxes for an additional monthly charge of $7.95. Here, we were able to select international countries, however, it listed some countries in the menu that MetroFax didn't have numbers available for, which was frustrating that they would even be listed if we could not select them. Available area codes for the countries it did support were listed, and when we selected an area code, a map of the matching country was displayed.
My Account is where you can update and view things, such as your preferences, billing information and monthly usage so far. Preferences allows you to edit and update the time and date, the email address where you wish to send and receive faxes as well as add email addresses to your account — the maximum is five email addresses per account. You can also edit your Send Fax options, change your fax number and enable or disable fax receipts here. Your billing information will display your current plan, and Usage shows you your current plan type as well as a breakdown of the number of faxes received and sent that particular month. Clicking on Activity Log under Usage will display a detailed list of faxes with their corresponding dates, times, number of pages, sender and time duration.
Sending and receiving a fax with MetroFax was as simple and straightforward as the sign-up process. On your home page, you can access the Send a Fax feature. The pop-up window will prompt you to add recipients (the limit is up to 50 per fax) by name, country, company name and fax number. You are also given the option to add a cover letter if you wish. We were pleased to find that MetroFax supports numerous file types when compared to other Internet fax services. These files types include, but are not limited to, PDF, JPG, GIF, PSD and XLS, and you can add up to 10 files per fax.
The first time we tried to send a fax with MetroFax, we experienced an error and a long lag time. However, the second time we tried, we did not experience any issues. It took a mere 45 seconds to send a fax with Websend and just one minute and 26 seconds to receive a fax. The JPG file we received easily opened in our web browser and the clarity of the image was average. The PDF file we sent with MetroFax automatically downloaded and saved to our desktop when we opened the file, and this file's quality was a little better than the JPG; both the files we received came through as black and white, which is standard with traditional faxing.
MetroFax also has a mobile app to make sending and receiving faxes and other important documents a breeze. The app is supported on iOS devices with 5.0 or later and Android devices 2.2 and up.
MetroFax has a FAQ page to assist with sending and receiving faxes, but it doesn't answer much else. It also offers email support and 24/7 support via phone. The wait time for its phone support was about average, and our email was responded to in less than 12 hours.
Overall, MetroFax offers expedient faxing services at a reasonable price. It's very user-friendly and straightforward, making it a top contender in Internet faxing. The only real complaint we had was that it does not clearly display which countries its service supports. The 30-day free trial makes it worth trying out.

Explaining money demand in China during the transition from a centrally planned to a market-based monetary system
We examine the transition process from a centrally planned to a market-based monetary system in China, with the objective of giving a functional form to the transition in money demand. Applying the cointegrating Time-Varying Smooth Transition Regression model proposed by Choi and Saikkonen (2004) on a constructed dataset spanning the period from 1984 to 2010, and using a seasonal unit-root test developed by Hylleberg et al. (1990), our findings invalidate much of the earlier literature. Our examination of disaggregate as well as aggregate money balances yields the following findings. (1) Households have an infinite demand for money at prevailing interest rates. (2) Enterprises have gradually gained decision-making authority over their deposits. (3) Money is a complement rather than a substitute to capital and this has become more prominent over the period. (4) The credit plan has ceased to be a significant driver of money holdings after 1997. (5) In the aggregate monetary sphere, the deposit interest rate has gained only a minor role as a monetary instrument, and only since 2000.

High school football: Pine View quarterback Kody Wilstead shining on the football field
"They were very close," Randy Wilstead said. "They had a special relationship. He dedicates everything he does on the athletic field to her. He doesn't want anyone to know, but when he scores a touchdown or throws a TD pass, he does a very discreet point up to heaven for his grandma."
That's a lot of pointing as Kody has thrown 35 TD passes this year and run for five more. But his biggest number is the massive amount of yardage the junior signal-caller has accumulated. Wilstead has 4,058 yards in 11 games. He needs 384 to break Hart's 4-year-old record. That's no stretch, since Wilstead averages 368.9 yards per game, also second only to Hart's 2009 record of 370.2.
"He's one of the best and I'll tell you why: He's 17 going on 30," Anderson said. "He is so mature and very bright. He grasps things very quickly. And he's the best pure passer I've ever coached."
Anderson has a good list to compare, having coached Lance Pendleton at Dixie and James Lark, Nick Marinko and Alec Meacham at Pine View.
"The thing that's so amazing is we're talking about a very young man," Anderson said. "He just turned 17 last week. He's just now coming into his own. He's so smart, I think he gets bored easily. We constantly need to challenge him with new stuff. He also thinks he's 5-10 and runs a 4.3 40 when he's actually 6-6 and runs an I don't know 40."
Anderson also said he thinks he knows why Wilstead is no longer a fan of baseball.
"Baseball has a lot of downtime," he said. "Mentally, you have to keep motivating yourself. In football, you are constantly in the grind, being motivated with your game plan. There's always something to go do. You've got to gut it up and get right back at it."
The brainy Wilstead, a 4.0 student, has a quiet nature about him.
"A lot of people take his quiet reserve as being cocky and arrogant," Randy said. "That's so wrong. His heart is so big. He cares so much for others, not just in sports, but in life."
