Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - August 19, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 2 The Cedar Rapids Gazette: Mon., Aug. H. 1874 Highest Odds Since 1966 Inflation Spurs Business Failures By Sylvia Porter NEW YORK If you go into business for yourself in this era of business downturn, roaring inflation and pervasive unease, the odds against your surviving even five years will be close to six out of 10 the highest odds against you since 1966 and sig- naling a degree of risk (hat many astute gamblers would refuse to take. What's more, for the first time in this decade to date, just about every bankruptcy tri-iu! is heavily adverse to the in- dividual >mi still dreaming the great American dream of going into your own business and being your own boss. The number of failures was up 6.4 percent in the first five months of 1974 over the same period of 1973, the first rise in three years or since (he 17 percent jump during the recession of 1969-70. This trend suggests that unless there is a sharp business comeback in the remaining months of the year most unlikely the number of actual business failures reported to Dun Bradstreet, Inc by the time 1974 ends will have crossed Much more significant, among the bankruptcies, there has been a steep climb in big million-dollar failures, "par- ticularly in the general merchandise reports Dr. Rowena Wyant, Sylvia Porter manager of D B's Business Economics Dept. "This rise began in 1973 and has ac- celerated substantially this year." The average dollar liability per failure is topping the quarter-million dollar milestone for the first time since Dun Bradstreel began keeping records in 1920. The total liabilities of firms that fail in 1974 almost certainly will approach an historic high of billion, already are running 52 percent higher than in 1973. Even a casual scanning of the day-to-day reports in the financial section of any news- paper from coast to coast un- derlines the extent to which the bankruptcy trend is broaden- ing, deepening, starting to cross all lines of financial as well as non-financial institu- tions: savings institutions, mortgage bankers, retailing concerns, food chains, real es- tate investment trusts and, ob- viously, brokerage houses. The outlook for brokerage firms is admitted to be as bleak as it has been since the depression of the early 1930s. Wall Street is a disaster area in a generally depressing atmosphere. And a new, most fundamen- tal point which you must nut underestimate in any way is that the strains that are developing throughout the U. S economy are strains that nulicymakers of the federal reserve system want to see developing. Their objective, which they are trying to make unmistakably clear through repeated public statements as well as actions, is to force businessmen to become more cautious because of the bankruptcies and spreading troubles they see and, thereby, to help break inflational ex- pectations. Daily Contacts While the staffs of the 12 federal reserve banks are making daily, direct contacts with businesses in their dis- tricts to make sure that an unexpectedly dangerous collapse does not set off a "domino spokesmen for the central bank insist that its function is not to subsidize inefficient business organiza- tions. The federal reserve will act to avert a credit crunch or a money panic but not to bail out companies that have gone in for inexecusable wheeling and dealing. As an illustration of what the federal reserve is hoping will happen elsewhere is the sharp decline in currency speculation by small and banks following the failure of the West German bank, Hers- laU, ami the extreme difficul- ties of the Franklin National bank of New York. Virtually overnight, the total volume of trading in currencies in the New York market, in dollar terms, plunged from billion a day to billion a day and it hasn't gone back up. This is a contrac- tion, authorities argue the sort that is needed in many areas to curb inflationary psychology. Primary Causes On the surface, the apparent causes of the business failures of 1974, says Dr. Wyant, are, primarily, heavy operating ex- penses; inventory difficulties particularly in manufacturing but also in retailing and wholesaling; a slump in sales; poor location; rise in competi- tion; excessive overhead; shor- tage of credit, etc. But underlying the failures in an overwhelming nine cases out of 10 are the basics: the manager's ineompetence, inexperience, ineptitude. Into the balance of 10 percent may be bunched all the other explanations including fraud, disaster, neglect. Does this mean you should be discouraged from going out on your own? No! But it does mean you must make sure you know the rules, obey them, and are prepared to win. Investor's yuide By Sam Shulsky Q I'm thankful for the financial help I've received from your column but I'm puzzled by the lack of infor- mation for younger people. I live in an area with large plots of acreage for sale and have thought of buying but I'm skeptical about fast profit land deals. In other words, how could I invest a thousand dollars and earn more than the 5% percent return from sav- ings institutions or the 7% percent obtainable by tieing up money for four years? A I haven't kept score on the age of readers but I sup- pose it is natural to assume that since most queries are from those who have money to invest they would come from older, rather than younger, people. However, I feel a fair share of the column has been devoted to those who are still on the sunny side of middle age. I've often written that real estate can make a good invest- ment, both for capital appreciation (for the young) and for income (for those who are living on their capital) if the investor knows what he is about or has access to real es- tate expertise. What puzzles me about your query is the fact you are looking for income from in- vestment in vacant land (not to mention the fact you are con- sidering such an investment with only modest Vacant land obviously should be bought with appreciation in mind. And when you talk of gain on any investment it is not with the idea of realizing a profit of 5 or 7 or 9 percent a year. You should be investing for much higher stakes. And finally, I don't under- stand how you can turn to vacant land if you want to keep your investment more liquid than it would be in a savings deposit. Q I'm looking forward to retirement in two and a half years and will have about to invest. You've writ- ten about tax-exempt bonds yielding 8% percent. What are these? How often do they pay interest? A I don't think I've urged investment in tax- cxempts yielding 8% percent because such a tax-exempt yield would indicate a rela- tively high risk. I'd urge you to BIG GEORGE! Virgil Partch the k) lower your sights to either side of a 6 percent yield. Tax-exempt bonds pay interest semi-annually. Q I'm a young man who holds considerable airline, stock at much higher prices. Should I buy more to bring down my cost? A Yes if you think the stocks are going back up again. I get too many letters about this method of "bringing down my however, to let it go at that. I am making no predictions about airline shares. But it should be perfectly understood that buying more of a stock at 10, after having paid 21 lor your first purchase, does not cut your cost or loss on the first block unless the stock recovers. If you bought 100 at 21 and buy another 100 shares at 10, you now have it is true 200 shares at an average cost of percent. But nothing you've done has wiped out your current deficit on your first purchase. It is still a very real loss. If the stock recovers, of course, your break even point is now instead of 21 (as on the first block) hut it must recover. Also you now have flying with the company. (And, as the brokerage let- ters say: This is not to be con- strued as an offer to buy or sell stock.) Q We have bought a condominium. Should we pay cash (we have about in assets) or borrow- about 80 percent on a mort- gage? A Assume that a mortgage will cost you about 9 percent which is the same as your could earn for you if invested in top-quality bonds.

Even Steven, so far. But in addition to the mort- gage interest there is the monthly amortization the so-called "forced since it builds your equity in the property. Now you must figure out for yourselves whether that extra monthly amortization payment will cramp your monthly budget. I'd lean toward paying cash.

Utility Cited for Conservation WASHINGTON (AP) The Federal Energy Administra- tion has given an energy con- servation award to an electric utility that tells its customers whether they have been using more or less electricity than a year ago. FEA administrator John Sawhill gave the agency's first conservation award to the Atlantic City, N.J., Electric Co. Last March, the company started printing on its monthly bills to some customers a computer print-out showing how much the customer's electricity use has increased or decreased compared with a year earlier. Soy Methadone Killed More Than Heroin NEW YORK (AP) New York City's acting medical examiner says methadone, a synthetic drug used to treat narcotic addiction, killed al- most twice as many people as heroin here last year. Deaths directly attributable to all narcotics declined, however, from 924 in 1972 to 745 in 1973 the first reduction since the medical examiner's office began keeping statistics in 1962. Dr. Dominick DiMaio said on Thursday that 181 deaths in 1973 were caused by methadone poisoning, com- pared with 98 attributable to heroin. While methadone deaths in the last half of 1973 more than doubled over the first half of the year, heroin deaths remained the same for both six-month periods, he said. City officials have for some time been concerned with the growing black market in methadone, which is supported by a current shortage in the supply of heroin. Methadone, in supervised treatment, is taken in regulat- ed oral doses and creates a tolerance to any narcotic. Some addicts here are being treated with methadone, compared with in 1970. DiMaio also said that in 1973, methadone combined with one or more substances such as barbiturates, alcohol and cocaine, caused 196 deaths, compared with 65 deaths from a combination of heroin and such substances. Alchemy The mi: ancient science of alchemy was based upon the futile attempt to change lead, iron and other base metals into gold.

Answer Tomorrow Israel Reduces Sentences of 18 In Spying Ring TEL AVIV (AP) The supreme court has reduced the sentences of 18 persons con- victed of being part of a Jewish-Arab spy ring un- covered two years ago. The court rejected an appeal by one Jewish prisoner, Yehezke! Cohen, who is sewing a nine-year term. But the sen- tence of David Cooper, a Jew, was lowered from seven to five years. The other 17 prisoners were Arabs. Most of their sentences were reduced one or two years. The high court rejected a lower-court ruling that the defendants wanted to overthrow the state. The supreme court said there is a difference between overthrow- ing the state and harming its government or security. A month ago, the supreme court reduced the prison terms of two other Jews who were convicted of meeting a Pales- tinian guerilla agent to give him information harmful to Israel's security. Expert 3-DAY Service on Watch and Jewelry Repair Specializing In Diamond Remounting and Diamond Appraisals Maltoy Jewelers 259 SECOND AVENUE SE By Dr. S. I.. Andelman Grandfathers are as likely get ulcers as struggling young executives, according to a New Jersey doctor. Dr. Eddy Palmer says doctors find new ulcers in many patients age 60 and over. "This is Dr. Palmer says, "since it doesn't go along with the popular pic- ture of the ulcer patient a vigorous young man fighting his way upward in life." Dr. Palmer's study, which appears in the July issue of American Academy of Family Physicians, states that half the gastro-duodenal ulcer patients over 60 have no ulcer problems until they pass 55. Two-thirds of the ulcer patients over 80 years old with symptoms severe enough to require hos- pitalization have the gas- trointestinal symptoms for less than two years. Among three groups of ulcer patients (totaling the problem began aflt-r age 69 in 8 percent. After age 69, the percentage of patients with chronic gastric ulcer disease was higher than those with chronic duodenal ulcer disease. The figures sug- gest that stomach ulcers are more of a geriatric disease than chronic duodenal ulcers, and that stomach ulcer pa- tients .are more likely to put off their initial trip to the doc- tor than the duodenal ulcer patients. Ulcer patients are basically healthy people. They can get relief from their pain, can continue all reasonable activi- ties and can look forward to getting their ulcers under con- trol as long as they co- operate with their doctors. An ulcer is a small shallow Dr. S. L. Andelmon wound in the stomach or duodenum, the connecting area between the stomach and the small intestine where some digestion takes p.lace. Tljis wound is so small that it would heal in a week if it were on the surface of the skin. But, of course, it's not, and it has to contend with the acid and pep- sin which is produced near it. A doctor will treat the ulcer patient with a modified diet, medicines and strong sugges- tions about reorganizing this schedule to allow fur sufficient physical rest, while avoiding as many irritants as possible. The prescribed diet will be based on the patient's own needs but will almost certainly avoid very rough, very hot, very cold or highly spiced foods. Thoughts on Transition at White House By Bab Considine NEW YORK By this time, we all must have heard comments on the departure "until we meet again" of Richard Nixon. The one I'm going to remember is the won- derful non sequitur of our friend and housekeeper, Gloria. "They shoulda left him keep his Gloria said. perfect." Not much doubt that President Ford is the best athlete ever to make his way to the White House. He was a good lineman at Michigan, good ballplayer, and knows his way around a golf course and tennis court. As a member of Congress Marching and Chowder Club, he had done more marching than chowder- ing. Did some boxing as a younger man, too. Which gives him a margin over his predecessor: He'll know how to roll with the punches. In his understandably emo- tional farewell to his tearful troops, Nixon said none of the staff ever profited at the ex- pense of the public till. He ad- ded with a wistful smile that he wished he were a wealthy man. so that he could compensate them for their long and devoted services but he had to pay his taxes. Then he flew off to his place at San Clemente. Susan Ford, n', has had secret service guards for six months. Her father resisted this protection very strongly when it was first offered. He felt it would hamper the girl's schooling, social life, and freedom. He changed his mind abruptly when he was in- formed that Susan's name was on the Symbionese Liberation Army list as a kidnap target right up there with Patricia Hearst. Nixon broke millions of hearts with his farewell remarks, including, from time to time, his own. But as he stepped into Air Force One for the last time as President, he gave the triumphant ap- pearance of his days on the campaign trails and his depar- tures from nnce-hostile capi- tals where he had reached his- toric accords. He thrusted at the cameras the old V-for-vic- tory sign, with arms held high HEATHCLIFF HOLPTHE ROMANCE UNTIL 1VE FINI5HEP PUTTING YOU and his pearlies smiling in the TV lights. It was an emphatic exit, as if his troubles were over, ever more. Alas, they are not. Ford's acceptance remarks could have been written by Lincoln. If he continues in that vein, there is no telling how popular he will become, until the traditional honejmoon ends. "May our former President who brought peace to millions find it for himself." he said at the end. That ranks with Abe's "With malice toward none; with charity toward all." (Second Inaugural Speech.) Nixon has been urged to ap- pear before both houses of congress and make what the proposer suggested would be a "clean breast" speech about his role in all the facets of Wa- tergate, the milk, ITT, Howard Hughes, and Dr. Lewis Field- ing capers. If he does, he should demand 50 percent of the television commercial profits, plus immunity. Ford would have given up his seat in the house in 1976. He had promised his wife he would close out his quarter of a cen- tury of congressional service and go into the practice of law, where he could make some real money for a change. So they agreed that he'd re-take his seat in '74 and call it quits two years later. Suddenly Nixon made a kind of poverty plea before he shuffled off to San Cleinente. The day before that happened, I talked to a top official of a business whose chairman has been Nixon's close friend for years. "We'd take him in a the man said. "So would any of a dozen more big corporations. He won't have to worry about where the rent's coming from. Any publisher would give him a million-dollar advance against royalties." Makes his a year pen- sion, a year expenses, lifetime secret service protec- tion, an office, a staff, and government transportation, sound like peanuts.

Authorities expand investigation into fatal lion attackBy GOSIA WOZNIACKA
The Associated Press | March 08,2013DUNLAP, Calif. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Cal-OSHA on Thursday joined other state and federal agencies investigating the fatal mauling of a volunteer intern at an exotic animal park in California.
State investigators who protect workplace safety said they are trying to determine whether Cat Haven near Fresno has the required written procedures that employees follow to stay safe.
The USDA enforces the federal Animal Welfare Act and hopes to learn whether the 4-year-old lion that killed 24-year-old Dianna Hanson showed any behavior prior to the attack that might have indicated potential danger.
Fresno County sheriffs investigators and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife want to know why Hanson was in the enclosure with the animal.
The Seattle-area intern had loved lions and tigers since childhood, was absolutely fearless around them and hoped to work at a zoo after her six-month internship, her father said.
She was at ease with those big cats, Paul Hanson, an attorney, said of his daughter. They liked her.
Hanson told The Associated Press that he dropped his daughter off on Jan. 2 at Cat Haven, about 45 miles east of Fresno.
It was just a dream job for her, he said, adding that she gave him a little tour and showed him the lion Cous Cous, which authorities said killed her.
Hanson said his daughter had worked with big cats before but told him she would not be allowed to go into the lion cage.
On Wednesday, deputies found the woman severely injured and still lying inside the enclosure with the 4-year-old male African lion nearby, said Fresno County sheriffs Lt. Bob Miller.
Another park worker couldnt lure the lion into another pen, so deputies shot and killed it to safely reach the wounded woman, but she died at the scene, he said.
Cat Haven founder and executive director Dale Anderson cried as he read a one-sentence statement Wednesday about the fatal mauling at the private zoo he has operated since 1993.
Anderson returned to the zoo in Thursday. I feel awful, he said.MORE IN Wire NewsHIROSHIMA, Japan On the eve of his historic trip to Hiroshima, President Barack Obama is...

Rumors about new attendance boundaries for Seattle schools are flying faster than the speed of e-mail. District staff say no lines have been drawn yet, but that isn't stopping parents from speculating about what will happen as the district overhauls its policies for how it assigns students to schools.
Rumors about new attendance boundaries for Seattle schools are flying faster than a speeding e-mail.
Tracy Libros, Seattle Public Schools' enrollment manager, says her inbox is full of speculations. The one that the northern cutoff for the popular Ballard High will be Northwest 65th Street. Or Northwest 67th. Or Northwest 85th. And those cover only one school.
At a recent community meeting at Ballard, Libros tried, perhaps futilely, to stop the deluge.
"The first thing I want to tell you," she told dozens of parents, "is that there aren't any lines yet."

But she knows why e-mails keep coming. "I understand there's strong feelings about where those lines will be drawn."
That's probably an understatement. School Board meetings were standing-room-only a few months ago as members voted to close five schools and move part or all of eight others.
The district now is considering changes that will affect even more of its 45,500 students: an overhaul of its student-assignment plan, which would mean new attendance boundaries for the district's 90-some schools, and new rules for determining who goes where.
The School Board will discuss the plan Wednesday. It plans to vote on the broad policy on April 22, on the rules in June, and the new boundaries this fall. If approved, the new plan would take effect in September 2010.
One goal is to simplify what's now an uncertain, often-confusing process, in which students may apply to a wide range of schools but have no guarantee of a seat at any particular school.
Under the new plan, students would be assigned a spot, based on their home address, at a nearby elementary, middle and high school. They could try for one of a few other options but still be assured a space at their assigned school.
In the long run, that approach would give parents much more certainty about school assignments and significantly reduce the district's transportation costs.
In the short run, it means upsetting expectations of many families about where their children will go.
And one neighborhood could be pitted against another.
Right now, for example, students who live close to Ballard High can count on going there. But some worry new boundaries may leave out those who live just north of the school, yet include the Queen Anne and Magnolia neighborhoods, where there is no high school.
"That doesn't seem like a good solution," said Shelley Logan, who has a second-grader at Loyal Heights Elementary, not far from Ballard High. It seems silly, she said, to bus students who otherwise could walk to school.
Logan is one of hundreds of people who have signed a petition that asks the district to keep Ballard students close to home for high school.
In general, the board is headed toward the kind of neighborhood-based system that Seattle had decades ago — and that still exists in most school districts today.
Seattle moved away from that system in the 1970s, when the district began busing students in an attempt to racially integrate schools.
The district eventually reduced, then eliminated, forced busing for integration. But families continue to be offered a fair amount of choice in where students attend school. That choice — and the busing that goes with it — costs money.
At least in theory, the idea of a neighborhood-based system seems to have considerable public support. But board members are just starting to tackle the important details, such as boundaries, and what choices to offer beyond the assigned school.
And in a city where many neighborhoods are racially segregated, board members also are wrestling with how to try to foster diversity within its school buildings.
The district no longer can base some school assignments on a student's race, the way it used to; the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2007 it violated the Constitution.
But the district appears to be allowed to take race into account as it draws new boundaries, and that's something board members say they may do.
They also have talked about reserving 10 to 15 percent of seats at each high school for students who don't live nearby, with those from low-income families possibly getting first shot.
Still, many board members have made it clear that their first priority is a high-quality school in every neighborhood. Diversity, while desirable, ranks lower.
Fall 2010 start
After the April 22 vote on the broad outlines of the new plan, the board will decide on the system's rules, such as whether to set aside seats at high schools for low-income students, and what options families would have beyond their assigned schools.
But the board won't approve boundaries until fall. District staff say they need the rules in June to build a new software system in time for fall 2010.
Several board members have expressed concern about that approach, saying they worry important issues won't emerge until they see the maps.
"Clearly, we are reserving the opportunity to go back and examine the rules if the maps don't make any sense to us," Board President Michael DeBell said.
The new plan most immediately would affect students entering kindergarten and those advancing from elementary to middle or middle to high. All other students would stay in their current schools.
Parents will have a number of opportunities to share their views on the new plan as it develops. Some — like those who showed up at the recent Ballard meeting — already are.
But Sharon Rodgers, president of the Seattle Council PTSA, said she's not hearing from as many parents as she would like.
"I think that means," she said, "that people are not aware of how big the changes have the potential to be."

For the first time since 2010, the North Central College Mock Trial team will advance to the American Mock Trial Association Opening Round Championship national tournament March 20-22.
North Central College is one of five institutions nationwide to receive a 2015 Senator Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Internationalization.
North Central College has expanded its commitment to sustainability by investing more than $200,000 to replace old fixtures with energy-efficient LED lighting.
The most recent upgrades to lighting in the College's geothermal-controlled, LEED-certified Residence Hall/Recreation Center and in the Harold and Eva White Activities Center are estimated to save the College an additional $35,000 annually in electricity costs. The projects are supported by a $67,989 grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation's Energy Efficiency Lighting Upgrade Program.
North Central College has been awarded a distinguished Center for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics (CURM) mini-grant to support participating faculty members in setting up an undergraduate research group for the 2015-2016 academic year.
For North Central College students in a Group Process class, their coursework is all about service learning and real-life experiences. It's the best way to learn teamwork and practice decision-making skills, says Amy Buxbaum, associate professor of speech communication who designed the service-learning project for the course.
Each spring, North Central College hosts the sectional competition in the Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering (WYSE) Academic Challenge. Designed to present a challenge to the brightest high school students, this year's contest will be held Thursday, March 19.
North Central College will send a record 59 students to the 29th annual National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) to be held April 16-18 at the Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Wash.
NCUR is an interdisciplinary conference where students representing universities and colleges from around the world share their research and creative works in oral, poster and performance/visual arts presentations. Some 391 academic institutions will participate in this year's NCUR gathering of young scholars.
North Central College has been named to the 2014 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) recognizes higher education institutions that reflect the values of exemplary community service and achieve significant outcomes. North Central College was honored for engaging students, faculty and staff in meaningful service that achieves measurable results in the community.
Experts will engage audience members with presentations about sustainable social impact Feb. 13 when North Central College hosts its first TEDx Conference.
Unique combinations of majors, minors, research and travel are among the hallmarks of a North Central College education. A commitment to the philosophy of interdisciplinary studies that began in the 1970s continues to serve our alumni and students, who've combined their unique interests and studies for professional and personal fulfillment.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

My mask for the ball. Theme was enchanted masquerade and our tickets were actually these masks. It is sitting on the (fake) fur shawl I made. Taken with my film camera (probably the first colour film I've put through it.) Printed it at work and used negative scanner to put it on CD. I love working in a photo lab. <3

My beloved Gallic friends: you've done it once before, and now it is time again to rise up and overthrow the tyrannical laws that threaten to hobble your future. France is in danger and she needs her people to join together and walk the path of righteousness instead of descending into evil.
We all knew President Sarkozy was a teetotaler before he was elected. But one of the planks of his platform for election was to be the reform of the ailing wine industry. And, indeed, the government took some steps in the right direction at one point, though there were many more stumbles.
But now, in what might charitably be described as a fit of madness or perhaps more accurately described as a lapse into evil, the French government has begun to articulate a policy that actually discourages its citizens from drinking wine (or any alcohol for that matter).
With wine consumption in France already at dangerously historic lows, telling people to not drink wine strikes me as insane as the American government telling its citizens to stop shopping in this depression.
It looked for a while like the French Government might just be incompetent, or at worst under the influence of some puritanical anti-alcohol lobby. But now the truth is clear. The government has been taken over by some puritanical anti-alcohol lobby.
My friends, take it from us Americans, you really don't want to live in a country without alcohol. It's been 75 years since we learned our lesson, but we're still dealing with the aftermath of Prohibition.
So here's what I want to see. I want a topless Sophie Marceau or Juliette Binoche hauling a French flag, broken wine bottles underfoot and the streets running with wine, as dark crowds of citizens, corkscrews in hand, storm the palaces and parliaments with righteous anger. Find the people who threaten your republic, and run them out of town!
You helped us with our revolution, let us know how we can help you with yours. Vive la France!

This question already has an answer here:
- How to decide a Type is a custom struct? 5 answers
How to write a simple method, that checks whether a concrete type is a custom struct (created with
public struct { };) or not.
Type.IsValueType is not enough, because it is also true to
long, etc,
and adding a check to
!IsPrimitiveType won't exclude
DateTime and maybe some other value types. I know that most of the built in value types are actually "structs", but I only want to check for "custom structs"
These questions are mostly the same but without the answer I need:
EDIT: from the answers mentioned the "check for the 'System' prefix" was the most stable (although it's still a hack). I finally decided to create an Attribute that you have to decorate the struct with, in order the framework to pick it up as a custom struct. (The other choice I thought was to create an empty interface, and let the struct implement that empty interface, but the attribute way seemed more elegant)
Here is my original custom struct checker if someone if interested:
type.IsValueType && !type.IsPrimitive && !type.Namespace.StartsWith("System") && !type.IsEnum

 Here are 2 pics of my Coasters of iPhone Apps in Full Color that arrived to customers.

 I want to point out that the white is back ! meaning shapeways apparently listens to the community and looks like have perfected the wax coating process so the model's white color doesn't turn into off-white after waxing.

 This is a very important issue - with a real white background all shades and colors look much more amazing.

 If you want your own photo,pic,cartoon on a single coaster try this - Print-A-Coaster

 Cheers,

Karan Johar is Varun Dhawan's mentor and is launching him in showbiz with "Student Of The Year" (SOTY). The newcomer is so confident about his 'guru' that he is ready to do anything for him.
"Karan is like a guru to me. Whatever I have learned is from him. I have a personal relationship with him. If he asks me to do something, I will do it. I trust him blindly," said Varun.
Currently in the midst of promotions of SOTY, the 24-year-old worked as assistant director to Johar on "My Name Is Khan".
The actor says he has received offers from outside Dharma Productions as well, but it was too early to talk about them at the moment.
"I have got offers but I am not allowed to talk about it. We have a contract of three films with Dharma," he said.
Besides Varun, Alia - Mahesh Bhatt-Soni Razdan's daughter - and model Siddharth are making their debut in the film that also has names like Boman Irani's son Kayoze Irani and actress Sana Saeed, who played Shah Rukh Khan's daughter in "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai".
Co-produced by Shah Rukh, the film is slated for an Oct 19 release.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Maya export issues http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=71223&th=15043#msg_71223 <![CDATA[Hi guys,

 Well, I've finished my first model for color print, got the textures looking all nice and checked to make sure that there aren't any holes or geometry in the mesh the would result in the file being rejected.

 I first tried uploading it as an OBJ file just to see if the site would accept it. It seemed to work just fine until I noticed several things.

 1. in the preview window the model was flipped 90 degrees so that it was facing downward

 2. Several object were missing or invisible in the viewer. The mesh is made of of a main body with two separate objects for the eyes and numerous smaller ones for the section-cups. The eyes show up and so do several cups, but not the rest. Is this just an issue with the viewer, or do I have a problem with the mesh itself?

 3. No matter what scale I set the model to in Maya, it would always show up as being no more than a centimeter in size. Am I doing something wrong?

 Next I tried importing the same mesh but as .dae and wrm. and both were rejected by the site.

 The .wrm file was rejected because "Some geometry are not supported: Switch"

 The .dae file was rejected because "COLLADA file contains invalid index in TextureCoordinate array, value: 207629. value ignored.

 I have absolutely no idea what any of this means

 Help will be greatly appreciated.]]> Rudeartist 2013-07-09T08:10:01-00:00 Re: Maya export issues http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=71240&th=15043#msg_71240 <![CDATA[As for your OBJ upload,

 1. Different software has different orientation. We try to use the most common orientation. I can never get my OBJ uploads to face the right direction though.

 2. Some small items are removed by the automated software as unprintable. It's best to have them joined with the rest of the model

 3. Some software has a displayed units, and an actual units. I'm not familiar with Maya settings, but I'd assume your are only changing the displayed units.

 I'm not familiar with the errors you received on the other file types.

 If you can share the files with us, we can look into them. If you wish not to make them public you can email them to me. Address is below.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2013-07-09T12:58:01-00:00 Re: Maya export issues http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=71287&th=15043#msg_71287 <![CDATA[Thank you I appreciate that]]> Rudeartist 2013-07-09T17:09:48-00:00 Re: Maya export issues http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=71318&th=15043#msg_71318 <![CDATA[I also have the exact same fault though in a different location.

 From the email:

 Additional non-critical errors:

 COLLADA file contains invalid index in TextureCoordinate array, value: 321367. Value ignored.

 Say whaaaaat? My file was an .obj that was initially rejected due to being too small. I used the AccuTrans3D tutorial (  http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/converting-with-accutrans -3d ). I also did the optional 2D extrude and the above error is what I received. Where should I go looking / what should I do / what does that mean?]]> DWSimmons 2013-07-10T03:22:41-00:00

Toolmakers need skilled workforceComments Email Print
The North American tooling sector is looking both strong and lean these days. That's good news. Mold makers were rocked during the Great Recession, especially those that relied on the automotive industry. And that's a huge market for North American toolmakers — 89 of the 112 companies in our Oct. 7 ranking make automotive tools.
There was some consolidation in 2009, and then a rapid recovery. According to a soon-to-be-released study from consulting group Harbour Results Inc., the tooling sector has been growing rapidly for the past three years, and now capacity is starting to get tight.
Laurie Harbour, the firm's president and CEO, says the next steps for tooling firms will be critical.
"There's no doubt that the pressure is still there on tool suppliers to continue to reduce lead time and price," she told PN's Rhoda Miel.
And let's not forget about the human element — skilled workers. Shops can have all the best equipment in the world, but if they don't have trained employees they're dead in the water.
Mold makers have been talking about a shortage of skilled workers for decades. But the situation is just getting worse.
Tooling company owners shouldn't expect someone to solve that problem for them. The labor shortage is a cultural problem. Parents aren't pushing bright children into the manufacturing trades these days. The consensus is that there's no future there. And who can blame them, with stories of manufacturing plant shutdowns and stiff competition from China so fresh in their minds?
But remember, it all starts with changing public attitudes about manufacturing. That will go a long way toward helping companies recruit — and retain — bright workers.

muriel since you left town the clubs closed down
and there's one more burned out lamppost down on the main street
down where we used to stroll
and muriel i still hit all the same old haunts
and you follow me wherever i go
and muriel i see you on a saturday night
in a penny arcade with your hair tied back
and the diamond twinkle in your eye
is the only wedding ring i'll buy you
and muriel how many times i've left this town
to hide from your memory
and it haunts me
but i only get as far as the next whiskey bar
i buy another cheap cigar and i'll see you every night
hey muriel muriel
hey buddy got a light

LexisLibrary Awards
We are now accepting nominations for the LexisLibrary Awards 2016
The Awards and Bursaries Committee is welcoming nominations for 2016 via surveymonkey until 19th May:
About the Awards
Now known as The LexisLibrary Awards, formerly The Halsbury's Awards, these awards were established in 2007 by the BIALL Awards & Bursaries Committee and LexisNexis. They replaced the previously named BIALL Awards for Excellence which were presented in 2005 and 2006.
The LexisLibrary Awards were conceived in order to recognise, celebrate and reward the dedicated performance and outstanding service given by legal information services, law libraries and those teams managing legal collections and resources. These awards are particularly unique as they are the only legal information service awards that recognise the value and importance of dedicated team work within our sector.
2007 marked the centenary of Halsbury's Laws of England, the definitive authority of the law of England and Wales. BIALL and LexisNexis chose to celebrate the centenary by establishing these awards in association with BIALL for the Best Legal Information Services in the UK and Ireland. The inaugural presentations were made at a special event held at The Inner Temple on 16th October 2007.
2015 Winners
The winners of the LexisLibrary Awards 2015 were announced on Friday 12th June at the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians (BIALL) Annual Conference held in Brighton. The awards were presented by Marianne Barber, President of the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians, and Tom Laidlaw, Head of Academic Development at LexisNexis.
Best Legal Information Service Outside of London (Commercial Sector): Irwin Mitchell
Outside of London, the winning team are admired by their lawyers for extremely high level of service and willingness to go the extra mile. Time and time again their responsiveness is mentioned, with admiration at how this can be the case even with very complex requests. A lovely comment was that the team always handle enquiries with grace, speed and accuracy. Several nominations include details of where the lawyer had thought a case might have to be rejected, but the library's rigorous research proved otherwise. The winning team is Irwin Mitchell.
Best Legal Information Service (Commercial Sector) - London Only: Withers LLP
In this category there were some very strong nominations, with a lot of love coming from the lawyers! The firm chosen to receive the award for Best Commercial Legal Service within London stood out because many of the nominations were for individuals in the library, hinting at close working relationships with the firm. Responsiveness was a characteristic threaded through many of the nominations, with appreciation of their knowledge and exceptional service. This team are described as "go to" people, proactive, creative and invaluable.
The fact that they relocated their offices with no dip in service was admired by many. They are lauded for playing a crucial role in the firm's international strategic initiatives. The winning team is from Withers.
Best Legal Information Service (Non-Commercial Sector): The Law Library (Bar Council of Ireland)
This category always attracts strong nominations, however our winning team this evening are made up of some very tenacious individuals - being described as 'leaving no stone unturned', 'bending over backwards to assist' and very much operating 'beyond the call of duty'. They are admired for having consistently delivered an unsurpassed level of service as well as their ability to move with the times in terms of technology provision for their users. Their ability to find obscure cases from any jurisdiction is noted often. One nomination describes a barrister looking for a judgment and his appreciation of the librarian - describing his can-do attitude and how he felt like he was 'playing for his team' - not a service provider but a fellow professional. The winning team is the Law Library of Ireland.

usafb2aCheating is cheating. Some people have self respect and honour. They are prepared to do everything within the rules to win. If you think cheating is the right thing to do then that is a sad reflection upon your own moral outlook and lack of character. It doesnt take balls to cheat just lack of self belief, pride and ability.

No question about it: Technology can — and does — enhance learning at every stage from kindergarten through high school. School districts have access to more learning resources, services, tools, and products than ever before, including a wide range of highly portable devices. Download this white paper to learn how increasingly, laptops, tablets, and other devices powered by Intel® Core™ and Intel® Atom™ processors are helping districts transform education from a rigid one-size-fits-all experience to a flexible environment in which students become independent, self-directed learners in the classroom and beyond.

I have a 2003 Saturn Vue AWD, while trying to accelerate as i was getting on freeway car sounded like it wasn't changing gears. I tried to speed up and car wouldn't go, seems like it couldn't fo faster than 30-40 MPH. I also noticed it was beginning to run hot, went just past half mark on temp gauge. Has anyone had this problem?

A Message from Our President
I am looking forward to presiding over the fellowship and fun that we share in the Rotary Club of Orangevale. Our Friday morning meetings are lively in spite of the hour, and the breakfasts that we enjoy at La Placita are tasty and ample. Our meetings are enlivened by presentations from people who are involved in interesting and inspiring activities. Our seasoned Programs chairman, Bryan Daniel, selects speakers and topics that keep us informed and entertained.
Our club will be involved in several projects of importance to both our community and citizens of the world. We will be supporting the Orangevale Library through funds and helping with the annual Bodacious Book Sale. We will purchase 500 dictionaries to distribute to all of the 3rd-graders in the area, and we will fund $6,000 worth of scholarships. Grants will be offered to classroom teachers, and we will support the Interact club at Casa Roble High School. We will send two students to the Rotary Youth Leadership (RYLA) camp this year, and will support an international exchange student attending Casa Roble.
Our keynote community projects this year include building unique classroom furniture for Special Education students in the San Juan District, and providing labor and materials for a new storage area at the Orangevale Food Bank.
On a global scale, our club will participate in a Rotary Foundation Global Grant in Ghana that will provide solar lanterns to villagers for nighttime reading without producing fumes and soot. We will also support microcredit loans to women in Colombia and Tanzania, and we will dedicate funds to help with major disaster recovery.
Most of our funding comes from our annual Crab Feed, to be held at Divine Savior Catholic Church on January 23, 2016. This can be a great opportunity to get to know members of the Orangevale Rotary club, and to support their projects!
We hope that others who want to make a difference in their neighborhood and the world will come to join us in these fulfilling projects. Please attend a meeting and experience our friendly breakfast sessions!
