Lufthansa Highlights Macau: "Punters' paradise"
You see the sign long before you reach the harbor entrance. It shimmers through the early-morning mist shrouding the city. The word "SANDS" stands out in giant, blood-red neon letters above the Chinese characters for "Golden Sand," spelling out for many an enticing promise of gaming and glitter, of triumph and luck at the world's biggest casino.
But is it real? The closer the hydrofoil draws, the more certain it seems that the city must be a mirage. A volcano looms in front of the golden casino, and to one side, you glimpse a Tang Dynasty stronghold. A Roman amphitheater and an Italian palazzo, a rather comical juxtaposition of buildings from Miami, Amsterdam and Havanna – surely no such place can really exist? Oh yes it does, at the Fisherman's Wharf amusement park in Macau.
Welcome to the city of illusions! A tiny gem in the Pearl River Delta in South China, Macau covers only 28 square kilometers and has a mere half million inhabitants. And yet it occupies a unique place in the Middle Kingdom. Huge variety and huge contradictions exist side by side in a very small space that can be fully explored on foot in a matter of one or two days. Macau is an ideal place for a boat trip from Hong Kong, 70 kilometers away.
Yin-Yang is the name of Macau's "national" drink, a mixture of Chinese tea and Mediterranean espresso that follows the Taoist principle of the unity of opposites. Macau is yin-yang built in stone, its guiding principle: one country, two systems. A Portuguese colony for more than 450 years, Macau joined the People's Republic of China in 1999 to become a Special Chinese Administrative Region (SAR) like Hong Kong. As such, Macau is permitted far-reaching autonomy in its economic policies and internal affairs. What this means above all is that it can issue casino licenses.
Macau is a dream destination for millions of Chinese and for billionaire investors from the United States. It's the only place in China that has legalized gambling. In 2009, almost 22 million visitors came, mostly from China and Hong Kong, driven by a single desire: to get rich quick.
They flock to the Sands Casino in their thousands every day, riding the steep escalators up to vast halls where 740 gaming tables and 1,254 slot machines await them. On a stage, a troupe of Russian revue dancers kick up a storm but scarcely anybody pays them any notice: the punters are fully focused on pushing their stakes across the green felt and sipping their complimentary cup of tea. The most popular game in Macau is baccarat because the rules are easy and it only takes two or three minutes to find out whether you have won. Or lost.
High stakes and maximum risk are what it's all about at the Grand Lisboa and the Wynn Resort, the Star World and the Golden Dragon. Revenues from Macau's casinos have overtaken those in Las Vegas already. And on Cotai Strip, a man-made, 202-hectare site between the tiny islands of Taipa and Coloane, an amusement district of mammoth proportions and modeled on Las Vegas is now taking shape. The first milestone in the development was the opening of the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel in 2007. Like its namesake in the US casino city, it has a Rialto bridge and a St. Mark's Square, replicated canals and palaces plus a 39-story hotel with 3000 rooms and a theater that seats 2,000.
The casinos' garish neon lights and advertising signs are the paint on the face of the provincial beauty-turned-glamour-girl Macau. Yet how marvelous, how wonderful, in fact: A part of that face remains in shadow. Take half an hour's stroll in the future world capital of gambling and you will discover world heri- tage sites, historical locations now under UNESCO protection. Thousands upon thousands of black and white mosaic pieces create wave patterns on the sidewalks, encircle Baroque churches like St. Dominic's and pour into the Largo do Senado, the main square lined by majestic palaces.
The waves are just like those that decorate the Copacabana in Rio and the Praça Dom Pedro IV (Rossio) in Lisbon; they are the waves of the one-time world seafaring power Portugal. Leased from the Chinese Emperor in 1557, Macau was Europe's first commercial outpost in China, a hub for goods, money and missionaries. The mosaic waves surround the temple of A-Ma,
the goddess of fisherfolk and the patron saint of Macau. Here, of all places, people have preserved their ancient Chinese traditions like nowhere else. The Taoist temples and shrines are numerous and visitors pray there for heavenly aid with bundles of smoking joss sticks.
An air of nostalgia pervades Macau, but not like that in a museum. The residential areas in the Penha district seem to be taking a siesta as in the old colonial days. Washing hangs from balcony railings and street traders sell everything from fruit and roast duck to shoes. Sunshine and rain have lent the houses a patina that to some might seem romantic – to others, merely squalid. Drab prefabricated blocks were all the rage in Macau in the sixties and seventies, but take a close look and you will also discover buildings from around 1930 with elegant Art Deco ornamentation.
The streets still have their blue-and-white azulejo signs bearing names no local taxi driver can pronounce, like: Avenida do Conselheiro Ferreira de Almeida. Portuguese is the second official language in Macau alongside Chinese and can be seen on notices in buses and over every little grocery store. The region's bilingualism is only a politically driven fiction, however, since the great majority of Macauans speak neither Portuguese nor even Mandarin Chinese, but a Cantonese dialect.
So what? Macau has a long tradition of living with opposites and contradictions. The mostly Chinese diners at Fernando's Portuguese res- taurant on the tiny island of Coloana's Hác Sá beach drink vinho verde and feast on feijoada stew and African chicken. Adventurous youngsters from Hong Kong walk along the no-handrail outer platform of Macau Tower, a safety rope attached to their back. An elderly gentleman feeds koi carp in the lake of the classical Chinese Lou Lim Ieoc Garden. And the volcano in Fisherman's Wharf erupts in propane-fed flames. Fata morgana? No, Fata Macau!

A VINTAGE SUPERHERO BIRTHDAY PARTY (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
One of my favorite 4 year olds turned 5 this month...my nephew, Ezra!! One of his favorite things is to pretend to be a superhero. So...he had the most adorable superhero party. The favors, the cake, the decorations, the ballon guy and even the weather were amazing! It was a vintage superhero party and my sister used a lot of red, turquoisey blue and yellow in the decorations. She found these super adorable plate set to match the ccolor scheme. She loves paper art and handmade all the decorations! The handmade birthday banner set the festive mood of the party. She also made an incredible backdrop to the cake and favors table - a skyline of the city. If you look carefully, you can see a silhouette of the Space Needle (they live in Seattle)!
The party favors were superhero masks and colorful capes! The capes were inside pyramid shaped party favor bags and when the children ripped them open, the capes spilled out! The Beny the Balloon guy provided safe swords and shieds! And of course, all the kids had a blast running around pretending to be superheros!! The cake was ordered from Costco and the cake toppers were made by Elle of Elle for Love.
The photos with clothespins are of Ezra from birth to now. The guests loved them! It was fun for them to see how Ezra have grown over last five years!
It was a fun and creative party with cost in mind. :)

I discovered Kegel exercise panties when, for reasons known only to the panties, they started following me on Twitter. When I checked them out at pantyO.com, I learned that if I vaginally inserted the one-inch silicone extension sewn into the crotch, I'd have a "focus point for performing Kegel exercises."
Two styles are available: the Basic ($53), which comes with Swarovski crystals, and a fancier version ($85, pictured here), with even more crystals. I opted for Basic. A week later, my pantie arrived with the instruction "Wash before using"—-the best advice I've heard in a long time. The exercise: a set of 10 pelvic-floor muscle contractions three times a day. The reward: hotter sex and better bladder control.
To help my technique, the instructions also encourage me to "visualize an elevator traveling up four floors. . . until you reach maximum contraction at the fourth floor." I don't know about the pantyO employees, but my vagina's not nearly that tall
I head off to the post office wearing my pantyO, already exercising. I expected the built-in "extension" to feel like a slipped tampon, but I don't find it uncomfortable, just odd. And I don't mind the wait to mail a package; I've got plenty to do!

Trail of Cheers
The Trinity Trust hosted a private groundbreaking of the second Santiago Calatrava-designed bridge, named for Dallas philanthropist Margaret McDermott. In addition, the organization discussed plans to build a 14-mile hike and bike trail from the Trinity River Audubon Center to the Dallas Arboretum. A fundraising campaign for that project will begin in a few months. Guests sipped "Margaretinis," enjoyed catered nibbles by Bolsa and sat at tables with replicas of the new bridge as centerpieces. We sense a new landmark in the making. Photography by Dana Driensky

The Rolling Stones: Charlie is My Darling – Ireland 1965 opens on Friday, November 8, 2013, in the Museum's Foster Theater, featuring 20 minutes of highlights. The screening coincides with the Rock Hall's feature exhibit Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction, on view through March 2014. Admission to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum includes entry into the film.
Recently discovered, never-before-seen-footage was woven into an intimate, behind-the-scenes diary of life on the road with young Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman in The Rolling Stones: Charlie is My Darling – Ireland 1965. First released in 2012, the film was directed by Mick Gochanour and restored by producer Robin Klein, the Grammy Award–winning team that brought the classic The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus to the screen. Charlie is my Darling's dramatic and stunning concert footage – including electrifying performances of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "The Last Time" and "Time Is On My Side" – shows the band developing its musical style by blending blues, R&B and rock and roll riffs. Photographed by pioneering filmmaker Peter Whitehead and produced by Rolling Stones manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham, Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965 is the invaluable frame: the unseen story of the band becoming the legend.
Shot during a quick tour of Ireland just weeks after "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" hit Number One on the charts, it features the first professionally filmed concert performances of the band and documents the early frenzy of their fans and the riots their appearances inspired. The band is shown traveling through the Irish countryside by train and dashing from cabs to cramped basement dressing rooms through screaming hordes of fans; motel rooms host impromptu songwriting sessions and familiar classics are heard in their infancy as riff and lyric are united. Charlie is my Darling captures the spark about to combust into "The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band."

How can I protect myself against sun damage?
Rita George, MD, is a board-certified dermatologist at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: This is my first summer in Phoenix and I love being outdoors, but I want to avoid sun damage to my skin. How can I protect myself against the sun?
Answer: Skin cancer rates in Phoenix are extremely high so you are wise in taking precautions to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. There are many things you can do to limit your exposure to the sun and keep your skin safer.
Try to stay indoors between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the suns rays are strongest and cause the most damage to your skin. If you must be outdoors during those times, try and seek shade whenever possible, especially if you are working.
Wearing hats and protective clothing can also help with protection. Hats should be tightly woven and it is best to avoid straw hats because they can let the sunlight through.
If you want to enjoy the pool during the summer, you could purchase specialty pull-over shirts, similar to those worn by surfers or boogie borders, which can be found at most local sports-stores.
Wearing sunglasses is also smart because they help limit sun exposure which can cause cataracts and wrinkling around the eyes. Make sure that the sunglasses offer 100 percent UV protection. Wrap-around sunglasses work well because they help prevent the sun from coming in on the sides.
It is also important to make sure that you use a sunscreen that has 30 SPF or more and is broad-spectrum with UVA and UVB protection. Check the expiration dates on your sunscreen bottle to make sure it is still effective. If there is no expiration date on the bottle, it should be discarded after a year.
Typically, people do not use the recommended "dosage" of sunscreen. You should apply approximately a quarter-sized amount on every exposed body part. It is best and most effective to re-apply sunscreen throughout the day and after swimming or sweating as the sunscreen can wear off.
Remember that no one method is perfect and using a few precautions together will work best. In the United States, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, but by taking theses precautions you can help reduce your risks of sun damage when outdoors. If you have any questions regarding sun damage, don't hesitate to talk with your physicians or dermatologist.

Birds Take 2nd Fiddle to Researchers
By Disappointed
from Providence, RI
There is an increasing trend in nature programs to extol the efforts of the researchers rather than concentrating on what was learned about the subject of the program. Less than half of this film is devoted to actual footage of bird behavior. It needs more about the birds themselves and less about the researchers reactions to the effort obtaining the information.

Hardly any bird footage!
By birdwatch
from crested butte, co
already mentioned above
By juliemannjulie
from Wyncote, PA
Watch this DVD to see the most incredible, surreal birds you could ever imagine! Just as Australia is home to its own unique species of animals, these birds of the remote jungles of New Guinea can be found nowhere else on Earth. Some of their bizarre showy decoration seems like it could even be a detriment to survival (it could get the birds tangled in nearby branches, for instance). It's truly hard to comprehend that they're real!

Wonderful DVD
By Dave
from Newark Delaware
We are local birders. The video was amazing, exciting, beautiful, and almost surreal. So enjoyed the video. We are sharing it with family and friends. What a magnificant world we reside in.
Good photography, no enough of birds.
By Birdman
from Portsmouth, Ohio
I didn't care for the adverts for other videos to start the DVD. Bird photos shouldn't have been added at the end. Way too much on just getting to the birds and human participation. Over all it was good but not great. Photos and bird videos WERE great though.

OK, we are sooo not going to feel guilty about that $30 mani we just splurged on. If Kelly Osbourne can have her nails painted from a bottle of $250,000 black diamond polish and not feel bad about it, then maybe we should have thrown in a pedi, too.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Fashion Police cohost caught some flak for her Emmy manicure from Jeweler Azature. In several tweets, Osbourne apologized for offending people, but the polish (which she did not pay for) was "a once in a lifetime experience," she says. "Please forgive me for not regretting it. It made me feel like a queen!"
Does this mean Kate Middleton will get to try it next?

The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Suppose a fair coin is tossed $n$ times. Find simple formulae in terms of $n$ and $k$ for
a) $P(k-1 \mbox{ heads} \mid k-1 \mbox{ or } k \mbox{ heads})$
b) $P(k \mbox{ heads} \mid k-1 \mbox{ or } k \mbox{ heads})$
Relevant equations:
$P(k \mbox{ heads in } n \mbox{ fair tosses})=\binom{n}{k}2^{-n}\quad (0\leq k\leq n)$
The attempt at a solution:
I'm stuck on the conditional probability. I've dabbled with it a little bit but I'm confused what $k-1$ intersect $k$ is. This is for review and not homework.
The answer to a) is $k/(n+1)$.
I tried $P(k-1 \mbox{ heads} \mid k \mbox{ heads})=P(k-1 \cap K)/P(K \mbox{ heads})=P(K-1)/P(K).$ I also was thinking about $$P(A\mid A,B)=P(A\cap (A\cup B))/P(A\cup B)=P(A\cup (A\cap B))/P(A\cup B)=P(A)/(P(A)+P(B)-P(AB))$$

As most of you have seen at this point, United States PostgreSQL is about to have elections for three board seats. The seats are currently filled by myself (JD), Bruce Momjian and Michael Brewer. You can read more about the election here. In order to vote, you must be a current member of PgUS. Unfortunately we haven't been as good as we should be about communicating expiring memberships to people. Most of our original members became members at West 2008. The majority of those memberships have now lapsed.
If your membership has lapsed, it is time to re-up. PgUS is now in a financial position to release two grants. As I mentioned in the keynote at West 2009, both of these grants will be awarded just after the new year. In order to receive grants from PgUS, you must be a member. We also need your continued support in financially supporting the U.S. PostgreSQL Conference Series, helping speakers when presenting in locations that require financial sponsorship, and general overhead including financial and legal services.
Below is a list of usernames of current members. If you are not on this list, you are not a member. You can re-join PgUS here. Oh and before I get 700 emails pointing it out, yes my membership lapsed. It will be resolved by the end of the day.

On Saturday, June 13th, I wound up manning the PostgreSQL booth at SouthEast LinuxFest, in Clemson, South Carolina. This free conference drew a larger crowd than I'd expected; organizers told me there had been some 450 registrants by the day before, and they were expecting a final total of over 500 (with walk-ups). I was on booth duty all day, so I don't know if that figure was accurate, but it was quite crowded (and a little too large for the venue). Clemson didn't seem to be that easy of a place to get to, but it turned out that folks came out from all over; I met people there from Tampa, Warner Robins (GA), Charlotte, and even Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. I had nice chats with Baron Schwartz and D. Richard Hipp, among other people; it was a large and friendly crowd, with many people either already using PostgreSQL or in the process of evaluating/moving to Postgres. (Unsurprisingly, several people cited Oracle's acquisition of Sun/MySQL as additional motivation to try Postgres.)
As I did at OSCON last year, I made some balloon animals, but the talk of this year's booth was the old tuba I brought along. (Picture of me in "Army of Smurfs" attire and tuba here.) People would approach the booth, ask, "So, what's with the tuba?"; I'd point out our logo, go, "Elephant, tuba....", and they'd think, nod, go, "Ahhhh!", and stay and chat a while. ;) (Plus, if I ever got bored, wanted to entertain some of the children that were walking around, or got challenged ["do you really know how to play that thing?"], I'd play a little ditty or two on there.) *Great* booth icebreaker; I highly recommend it for future conferences. ;)
To sum up: Great conference, big crowds (especially considering the location/date); if we get a chance, we should exhibit at SELF again next year.

I just want him to be a straight attacker, wondering if this is what I should aim for? I am not planning on EV training because ughhhh F that, and am not really going for truly competitive but was interested in just how far I can take him haha xD

Lady Raider Ifeatu Okafor Named NCAA Woman of the Year
Oct. 20, 2013
INDIANAPOLIS – Former Lady Raider track and field student-athlete Ifeatu Okafor was officially named the NCAA Woman of the Year Sunday night at an awards banquet in downtown Indianapolis.
Okafor was selected from a field of nine finalists representing NCAA Division I, II and III for her achievements in athletics, academics, leadership and community service. In all, more than 450 student-athletes were originally nominated for the prestigious award which encompasses female student-athlete's entire collegiate career.
"It's very special," Okafor said. "Texas Tech has just played such a huge role in my life. My experiences at Texas Tech have developed my character and transformed me into a better person. I'm truly grateful."
Sunday's ceremony marked the 23rd in the award's history, while Okafor is the first NCAA Woman of the Year from the Big 12 Conference. The top-30 selections, which were also recognized Sunday night, were identified from 140 conference nominees from across the NCAA.
"This evening was an incredible celebration of amazing female student-athletes," Senior Associate Athletics Director Dr. Judi Henry said. "The honorees exemplify everything good about intercollegiate athletics and our future leaders. We could not be more proud of Ifeatu Okafor as the recipient of the NCAA Woman of the Year award. She truly is a Fearless Champion."
Okafor completed her Texas Tech career this spring as a standout thrower on the Lady Raider track and field team. In 2011, she won the Big 12 outdoor shot put competition, and earned first team All-American honors later that season. She currently holds five of the top-10 marks in school history in the event.
Away from competition, she earned numerous academic recognitions including the prestigious Dr. Gerald Lage Award presented by the Big 12 Conference in 2012 – the highest academic recognition given by the Big 12. Meanwhile, she was a finalist for the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar award in 2013, a four-time Academic All-Big 12 selection and received All-Academic honors from the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
Okafor was consistently active in the Lubbock community throughout her decorated Texas Tech career. She was central in numerous service projects and charity organizations including the YWCA, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, South Plains Food Bank, Children's Covenant Hospital and many more.
Okafor served as the president of the Texas Tech Student Athlete-Advisory Committee during the 2012-13 academic year. She was involved in the committee throughout her collegiate career, serving as treasurer from 2010-12 and as Texas Tech's Big 12 representative.
She is currently pursuing her master's degree at UT-Southwestern with plans to become a physician's assistant after graduation. The Houston, Texas native graduated from Texas Tech in August 2012 with a degree in Exercise Sports Sciences and completed a second degree in May 2013 in Human Science with Magna Cum Laude honors on both occasions.
The Woman of the Year award has been presented annually by the NCAA since 1991.

Valley Forge FAQs
Q.Where can I find info on whether the spring run of shad up Valley Creek was an important source of food for Washington's army?
Edward Howey, Denver, PA
A.One of the traditions of Valley Forge is the supposedly fortuitous arrival of an early (and large) run of shad in the Schuylkill River. There have been some authors who contributed this run of shad to the end of the famine for the soldiers — but this is undocumented. There are several archival resources that mention the possibility of using fish — cured and fresh — for the men. In a letter 23 March 1778 Horatio Gates writes to Henry Hollinsworth and specifically mentions shad — but not a run "saving" the soldiers at Valley Forge.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 123987 not just a doorstop! i bought two of these adorable doorstops to use as bookends. there is the typical slope to the part that would go under the door, so i made little cardboard...things...to put over that part to keep the books from sitting crooked, which they did before i made the cardboard...i guess shims would be what they are. since these doorstops are nice and heavy, they hold even very large, heavy, hardbound books securely in place. i'll be buying more of these super cute owls! September 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JadesFire Perfect Doorstop I bought this for our office door which hangs pretty high off the ground (probably because there used to be carpet in that room once upon a time that has been replaced with Pergo). It works perfectly for holding the door open -- what more could you ask for from a doorstop? I was happy with the price too, it seems like it would've cost more. October 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by cl106 Nicer in person! Great little owl. Says it's a doorstop but honestly it's a cute 'shelf' item also (I actually didn't know it was a doorstop!) It's very heavy and durable. Much cuter in person. Great price also! October 14, 2013

Obama's public scolding

Obama doesn't know squat.
There are 170,000 metric tons of gold that has been mined since mankind began using gold as a medium of exchange and other uses. Gold is an industrial metal and has many practical uses besides jewelry and coinage. A computer uses gold in its circuitry. Satellites have gold in them.
170 thousand tons equals 5,465,500,000 troy ounces of gold. That amount of gold, all of the gold in the world that has been mined, is worth 8.2 trillion dollars at 1500 dollars per ounce.
The debt of the US gov is 17 trillion dollars or more than twice the value of all of the gold in the world.
Obama needs to be scolded for being a profligate spendthrift.
In more precise words, Obama is an idiot.

"Ninety-two percent of Americans favor background checks for all potential gun buyers, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll."
"This poll was conducted by telephone from January 11-15, 2013 among 1,110 adults nationwide."
Yes, ProgLib, I read your source. Thanks for citing. However, it didn't validate willgrr's particular assertion. Here we go, peat and repeat...
"94% of North Dakotans wanted background checks. Less than 6% didn't."
Now where's that poll? Since I don't think it can be found, much less cited, I will say again that willgrr's percentage is baloney.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What he should have said in his speech about the Senate failing to pass a bill requiring background checks was,"You can talk the talk, but you don't know how to walk the walk!" An article in the New Yorker quotes Senators Mitch McConnel and Lindsay Graham that they are not in the Senate to vote the way the American people want them to, they are not owing to the public who voted them in just because we (the public) pay their salaries, benefits, etc. It is this kind of attitude, along with other Senators who are willing to start additional military action that is what give Congress a bad name and why the American voters rating of them is so*****low. They are there for the money, benefits and nothing else, and they are there to make sure that nothing that the POTUS proposes ever sees the light of day. But you can believe if a Republican gets in, a lot of things will get passed and the worst thing that they will do is do away with the Affordable Health Care Act!!

That's the Obama way.. Handle it..don't bother me I am the POTUS and I don't need to get my hands into this mess. Trouble is he has brought all these people on board and they were dumb in the 1st place and then being led by dumber makes things that much worse.
A good leader KNOWS whats going on in his circle.. Obama has not a clue..He just blames someone else and if that doesn't work he blames the Republicans..
Any other POTUS would have had us dug out of this hole you refer to 2 years ago.. Not Obama he keeps digging the hole deeper because he is surround by incompetent advisers..

Like any position created by the Government when the wrong person is in charge sh Happens.. Obama has proven time and time again he cannot keep his mind on the pulse of the offices he has control of.
Why doesn't he know about the large quantities of ammo OR DOES HE?
Why doesn't Obama know he has people on Benghazi who request security and didn't get any?
Why doesn't Obama hold his people accountable for their actions..
Why because he doesn't have a clue whats going on. Do you know why he doesn't have a clue? Because the people reporting to him don't trust him and he can't make a decision without waiting 3 weeks so they just don't bother to keep him informed..not that it matters he wouldn't understand half of whats going on anyway.

If you already have a retirement plan set up, Register for Access or log in to access your account.
These are important details regarding this plan.
You are eligible to participate in the Case Western University Faculty and Key Administrative Employees Retirement Plan A after 1 year of service. However, if you have prior years of service at an educational institution, your prior years of service will be applied toward meeting the waiting period.
This plan allows only employer contributions.
Case Western Reserve University does not make matching contributions with this plan.
"Vesting" refers to an employee's right, usually earned over time, to receive some retirement benefits regardless of whether or not they remain with the employer. Your contribution to this account will be 100% vested immediately.
Your employer offers you a variety of investment choices from an array of asset classes. You can see a list of the investment choices under this plan on the Investment Choices page.
Expenses vary from investment to investment. To learn about expenses associated with an investment, see a list of the investment choices under this plan on the Investment Choices page, and read the Fact Sheet or the prospectus for that investment.
You have a variety of options1 when it's time to take income from this plan:
Retirement plan contributions are usually made with before-tax dollars, so federal income taxes are deferred until you begin taking withdrawals later on.No taxes are due on pretax contributions and earnings made until the money is withdrawn, but because these plans are intended primarily for retirement, you can generally withdraw funds only after termination of employment or age 59½ (subject to plan rules). If you withdraw funds before age 59½, they may be subject to an additional 10% early-withdrawal penalty.
This plan does not offer a loan feature.
1 The availability of certain distributions may depend on the type of contract underlying your plan. Also, if you're married, your right to choose an option may be subject to your spouse's right to survivor benefits. Talk to your benefits office for details.

Update 8:54 a.m., March 22, 2010: Here is the Sweet 16 NCAA bracket update for the 2010 NCAA basketball tournament. Of course everybody's bracket is in shambles after Kansas lost to Northern Iowa, which foiled even Barack Obama's Sweet 16 NCAA bracket.
(Obama got healthcare reform passed through the House, so I think he's not too worried about Cornell of St. Mary's making it to the Sweet 16).
If you're like me, your NCAA bracket is already shot to pieces thanks to Georgetown losing to Ohio. But with second-round March Madness action beginning today, I'm sure you're interested in starting a new NCAA tournament bracket contest that ignores those missteps you made in the first round.
So with that in mind, I've uploaded a printable NCAA bracket 2010 update that accounts for all the March Madness that happened in the first round of the tournament.
Just let me know if you have Murray State going to your final four, OK? Peace.

The promotion of sex and professional sports go hand-in-hand. So of course it makes perfect sense the NFL would choose Sports Illustrated swimsuit and Victoria's Secret model Marisa Miller as its spokesperson, according to online reports.
Miller, 30, will appear in print and television ads and travel to London to promote the 49ers-Denver Broncos game Sunday, October 31, 2010 at Wembley Stadium.
"Marisa's love for the NFL and our sport made her ideally suited for this role," Chris Parsons, vice president of NFL International told the Hollywood Reporter. "We look forward to working with her."
Because her love of football is exactly what you think about when you see Marisa Miller. Right?

Ordered a few mags for my 5.56 SLR. Paid $18+ to ship via UPS.
Brown truck shows up Monday, leaves a notice that needs a signature to leave. I sign the slip and leave on the door.
Get home today, another notice says "must sign in person, be back tomorrow."
Well that's just goddman dandy cause I wont be here then either. On third attempt, (tomorrow) return to sender.
Why in the shitting name of zeus' bunghole is K-Var requesting adult signature at the time of delivery for a couple of mags ? I already paid a ridiculous amount of money for STANDARD GROUND SHIPPING.
And I goddamn know i'm going to get screwed out of the cost of shipping when it gets back to them.
Some of us have to hold down a job and can't miss a day of work to sit around waiting to receive the product that we BOUGHT FROM YOU.
Eff you K-Var.

Reviews for Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes
"I made these for the first time this year, and they were a big hit at my Thanksgiving party. I'm giving them a 4 only because they were very time consuming, I found myself making one part, then later making another because of the time needed for the turkeys to cool and the lettuce leaves to set up. Also I think I would use runts next time instead of sixlets"
"This is a very cute idea. I made them for my daughter's class for her Thanksgiving birthday. They were a huge hit, but VERY time consuming. It took me 3 hours to do about 16 turkeys. The only way I'd make this recipe again is if it were for a small family gathering of 10 or less. One tip I would give, especially if you are doing a large number of them, is to spread the wrapped caramels on a heating pad instead of using the microwave, then unwrap and mold as needed."
"very time consuming but it was worth it! They were a hit @ Thanksgiving. When making the turkeys themselves I put a dab of water on my finger and pat it on the caramel to give it a glossy look. Also, made Chocolate chip cupcakes w/ whipped nutella icing..... yuuummmm"
"Where do I find the video?"
"My little niece made these for Thanksgiving,I saw a picture of them her mom took.These are so cute!I'm saving this for next year I will make these for sure.Thanks for the great idea"

Countdown to Restaurant Week 2012 (Part 7-7)
Published May 16, 2012 - (Updated Aug 30, 2013)
Restaurant Week 2012 began three days ago, as we wrap our preview of the 45 participating restaurants. We present you with the final six restaurants that are participating in Restaurant Week for the very first time. Welcome newbies! And if you've missed previous installments, the links to our Countdown articles can be found at the bottom of the page.
Step into La Cigale French Bistro and you will immediately feel yourself transported to Paris or Marseille. The owners have taken their experience with similar venues in Paris, Marseille and Manhattan to create a true French bistro in the heart of Puerto Vallarta. With main courses such as Beef Bourgignon marinated in Burgundy wine, and desserts like the traditional Crêpe Suzette flambeed with Grand Marnier, how could you go wrong?
We can't get enough of Lobo Lui's BBQ Shack and their impressive authentic pit smoker, not to mention the amazing stories we've heard from the owners about having the smoker craned over the building in order to install it on their attic. The end result is delicious: authentic Texas-style bbq offerings, plain and simple. And being only one block away from the Malecón, it's ideal for a pre- or post-dinner stroll.
Mango's Beach Club is located in colonia 5 de Diciembre, the neighborhood where other important venues such as Teatro Vallarta and the Ley supermarket are located. It's casual ambiance is ideal for relaxing in the afternoon or evening, enjoying treats like their Macadamia-crusted Fish Fillet with lichee sauce, or their Banana Strudel, both available in their Restaurant Week special menu.
While most people think of Punto V as a trendy night club right on the Malecón (it is!), it is good to know that the venue is also a fine restaurant. There is no better time to discover this side of the elegant spot than Restaurant Week. Their menu features the creations of chef Martín García, and includes treats like Organic Pork Chop with mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes.
Located within the Landmark Hotel and Spa (on top of it, actually), The View features an intimate, al fresco setting with excellent views of Puerto Vallarta's El Centro neighborhood, along with an outstanding menu that includes Duck Confit with red berry risotto, asparagus and port wine sauce. Whether you are sharing a meal with friends or on a romantic date, this is the place to be!
A new offering in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Tortuga Beach is bound to delight seafood lovers with their terrazza bar, lounge and live music. Such is their commitment to outstanding seafood, their Tortilla Soup is served with scallops, and available as an appetizer during Restaurant Week. At the same time, their dessert options feature Mexican Churros with cinnamon sugar, a very popular and traditional dessert throughout the country.

Written by Melissa & Doug Blog Ambassador Allison McDonald
This educational idea is brought to you by Melissa & Doug , written by our Blog Ambassador Allison McDonald. "Everyday play is what childhood should be about."
Sometimes all it takes is a great imagination, but sometimes you need some sparkle! My daughter loves her Melissa & Doug Princess Role Play Costume ( so much in fact it's all she wants to wear for Halloween ) but even the best costume need some kid made sparkle. Making their own accessories is a great way of boosting confidence and taking ownership of their own play .
This necklace is mess free and doesn't use traditional beads so even toddlers can make it.
Start with some sparkly foam, wired ribbon scissors and some painter's tape.
Cut the sparkly foam into rectangles large enough to fold in two.
Tape the wired ribbon to a table, it will help keep the ribbon stable for fumbly little fingers.
Peel the backing off the sparkly foam. and place it under the ribbon.
Invite your child to come and fold each "jewel " in two sandwiching it around the ribbon.
Tie. Make it large enough to fit over your child's head. Because you have made it with wired ribbon you can adjust it easily once it's on.

Sounds of farting and toilette flushing at breakfast not good! Guitar music late into the night. Water shut off next morning took forever to come back and when it did it was brown, crappy water.

|NIU subdues Vandals
MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho Vandals, coach Paul Petrino said, improved by leaps and bounds over the past week – but it wasn't enough to subdue two-time MAC champion Northern Illinois as the Vandals dropped to 0-3 after Saturday afternoon's 45-35 loss to the Huskies.
"We showed great, great improvement," Petrino said. "But I'm used to winning. I'm disappointed."
The Vandals scored first on a James Baker run the after NIU scored to tie the game Idaho answered with back-to-back touchdowns – one by Richard Montgomery and another by Baker, to go up 21-7 as the second quarter opened. Josh McCain scored again for the Vandals in the second quarter but the Huskies added two more to close the gap to 28-21 at the half.
The Huskies pulled away with two third-quarter touchdowns and a TD and field goal in the fourth. Idaho did respond with a fourth-quarter run by Baker but never could quite regain its first-half momentum.
Petrino pointed to three lost fumbles as breaking the Vandals' backs.
"That's the difference," he said. "If we don't do that, we have a great chance to win. You can't fumble three times against a good team and have a chance to win."
Dezmon Epps led the receiving corps with eight catches for 106 yards, while Baker bulled his way for 73 yards on 19 carries. Chad Chalich was 14-of-25 for 236 yards passing, while McCain was one-for-one but with 39 rushing yards.
Bradley Njoku had nine tackles with Solomon Dixon tallying eight and Broc Westlake and Eric Tuipulotu each accounting for seven.

Nearly a decade ago, Sharon Osbourne and her family changed reality television. The four stars of MTV's The Osbournes—Sharon, now 58, rocker husband Ozzy, now 62, Kelly, now 26, and Jack, now 25—captivated America with both their foul mouths and their deep family bonds. Audiences particularly fell for Sharon, the unconventional matriarch, who has since appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice and Britain's The X Factor, hosted VH1's Rock of Love: Charm School and joined the cast of The Talk. Now as a judge on America's Got Talent, she graces nearly 15 million televisions each week. More spoke with Osbourne about how she juggles her roles as star judge, mother and mighty businesswoman.
More: America's Got Talent is about halfway through its sixth season. What has this season been like for you?
Sharon Osbourne: It's been fantastic because I think that the production side has really stepped up, and so has the quality of our contestants. It just keeps getting better and better. It's not one of those shows that stays the same.
More: What's the atmosphere like off-screen between you and Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan?
SO: I get on great with Howie. With Piers, it always has to be about him. Everything you see is about him. As long as you understand that it's the world according to Piers, you're fine.
More: You're very outspoken. What happens when you get really attached to a contestant that the other judges don't like?
SO: You fight your ground; you fight for what you believe in. I think the reason it works so well is because we've all got different tastes. My tastes are more over-the-top; I don't like subtle. I don't always look for someone with the perfect voice. I look for personality as well as talent and likability.
More: So you're a Lady Gaga fan?
SO: Love it, love it, love it! She's so over the top. She's got a personality that matches her talent. It's no good having somebody that is so talented but when you talk to them, it's like watching paint dry. She's got it all.
More: How do you juggle all the things you do—judging America's Got Talent, appearing on The Talk, running your charity [the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation, a patient resource program at Cedars-Sinai], being a mother of three?
