StatementBefore the high level
segment of the thirteenth session of theCommission on
Sustainable Development:Turning Political
Commitments Into Action New York, 20 April 2005Mr. Chairman,
First of all, my congratulations on what has been
achieved over the last two years, by both you and your predecessor,
Mr Børge
Brende, Chair of the 12th session of the CSD.
The 13th session of the CSD is intended to
launch a decade of implementation, so as to give greater effect to
the objectives of the great developmental and anti-poverty
conferences of recent times. This meeting therefore assumes a
particular importance, since much of the credibility and
effectiveness of the CSD's new shape depends upon success here. For
this reason the Holy See associates itself with those who intend to
confer upon the CSD a central role in the process of promoting
sustainable development.
The purpose of the 13th session of the CSD
is to identify policy options and practical measures to expedite the
implementation of the MDGs and the Johannesburg targets in three
specific areas during 2004 and 2005, that is, water, sanitation and
human settlements. There is, therefore, a strong need to arrive at
forward looking and action oriented decisions in these three areas
which have profound repercussions on the quality of life of
This debate has thrown light upon these three themes
which are so closely related one to the other, and which should be
part and parcel of strategies to promote sustainable development and
the struggle against poverty. There is in fact a clear link between
access to water, sanitation and human settlements on the one hand,
and, on the other, human health, the eradication of poverty, the
promotion of economic growth, environmental protection and the
adoption of sustainable patterns of consumption and production.
Thanks also to the last two sessions of the CSD, the international
community is now more aware of the need to adopt a multisectoral and
multidisciplinary vision properly to confront the inherent
difficulties connected to water, sanitation and human settlements.
During this debate, focus has rightly been placed on
the need to identify the correct balance between public and private
sector solutions in order to achieve the objectives in view.
However, it has become equally clear
that a variety of solutions will be required, according to the
socio-economic and cultural contexts, and based upon the principle
of subsidiarity. Guaranteeing both equal access and adequate amounts
of water, sanitation and human settlements will actually require the
direct involvement of local populations in decision-making
processes, with a view to finding solutions which by their very
nature are local. Thus each part of each society will be empowered
to look after its own affairs, while learning to respect and assist
others requiring assistance to do so.
According to the principle of subsidiarity, a
community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal
life of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its
functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to
coordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society,
always with a view to the common good.
It is clear that this principle may be applied to
specific solutions to specific problems associated with the delivery
of water, sanitation and human settlements. Such problems are
characterized by a close connection with the land, both physically
and socially, calling for greater responsibility on the part of the
providers and the users of goods and services associated with water,
sanitation and human settlements, whether in a rural or urban
Such a responsibility also demands a greater
awareness of the complexity of the use of those goods and services,
and therefore requires education and formation locally, which will
concentrate on the need to redirect lifestyles and patterns of
production and consumption towards greater long term sustainability,
with a view to equity, both among users of this generation, and
between those of today and those of future generations.
Moreover, the application of the principle of
subsidiarity will permit the better realisation of one of the keys
to sustainable development, as recognised by the first principle of
the Rio Declaration: the centrality of the human person. The
principle of subsidiarity must not be seen just as a matrix for
greater participation in decision-making, but also as an instrument
in the reconstruction of solidarity and of the social fabric, to
bring together the people who make up a given community.
In the context of the CSD, the idea of solidarity
leaves its typically limited sphere to take on a more international
character. As it heads in that direction, the CSD must be capable of
demonstrating a particular care for those with less ability and
proportionately greater difficulty in gaining access to safe
drinking water, sanitation and adequate housing. Only from that
special care will it be possible to evaluate the success of the
CSD's new working structure, and whether this first policy session
has been a success.

True Dancing With the Stars fans could have guessed the first elimination of the show with their eyes closed, one hand tied behind their back all the while hanging upside down. That is right, Diana Nyad was the first so-called celebrity eliminated from the reality show. According to Zap2it on Monday, she is one of two stars who are going home as they didn't get a big enough score from the judges and votes from viewers combined. Perhaps this sounds mean, but this decision was a no-brainer.
Fans of DWTS know the pecking order of how the stars usually drop off. Anyone not related to the entertainment business or dances on the ballroom poorly usually is kicked to the curb first. Last week, Diana Nyad had both things not going for her and there was plenty of discussion on her status of being celebrity. Unfortunately this meant nobody voted for her putting her scores on the bottom of the leaderboard.
For Diana Nyad, she has to assume this is a big accomplishment for her even though this is her last performance. Not only did she get herself to a national platform so people can hear about her swimming records, she fulfilled dream to dance.

Big Data: White House R&D Initiative and a session at AN12
At a White House event led by the Office of Science and Technology Policy in Washington, D.C. Thursday, NSF Director Subra Suresh detailed new Big Data solicitations, $10 million Expeditions in Computing award, and awards in cyberinfrastructure, geosciences, and training. He said these efforts will build on the NSF's legacy in supporting the fundamental science and underlying infrastructure enabling the big data revolution. Heads from other federal science agencies—OSTP, NIH, DOE, DOD, DARPA and USGS—also outlined how their agencies are engaged in Big Data research. They discussed cross-agency big data plans and announced new areas of research funding across various disciplines in the field. This was followed by a panel of thought leaders on the subject from academia and industry.
A detailed press release and a webcast of the event can be found on the NSF site.
In light of the importance of collecting and interpreting ever-growing amounts of data and its important role in scientific and technological progress, the SIAM Annual Meeting will also feature a panel on big data.

Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics Workshop: Bridging Scales in Computational Polymer Chemistry
August 6–10, 2012
Providence, Rhode Island
Many important advances in material and biomedical science will come from controlling the chemical properties and nanoscale morphology of polymer mixtures. Predicting the longtime continuum-level properties of such complex systems poses a canonical computational challenge due to the disparate length and time scales separating the molecular description from the macroscopic behavior, particularly the evolution of morphology. This workshop (http://icerm.brown.edu/tw12-4-bscpc) focuses on overlapping approaches to bridging this gap, the goal being to spur the development of hybrid computational methods with the capacity to identify and characterize the rare events and the driving forces that steer the systems towards equilibrium, and connect the burgeoning growth in parallel-computation techniques for particle-based systems with recently developed classes of continuum models.
Organizers: Andrew J. Christlieb, Michigan State University; Cecilia Clementi, Rice University; Keith Promislow, Michigan State University; Mark Tuckerman, New York University; and Zhengfu Xu, Michigan Technological University.

Obama Memo Threatens Whistleblower ProtectionsTweet
February 28, 2013
In a January memo, President Obama asked for new rules for designating federal workers as "national security sensitive," which would make them easier to fire and could severely hurt whistleblower protections, according to a Bloomberg article.
Many prominent whistleblowers come from the national security community, including Franz Gayl, Thomas Drake, and Thomas Tamm. This new rule could strip whistleblowers of protections and silence reports of fraud, waste and abuse that not only save money but can save lives.
The article quoted Tom Devine, legal director for the Government Accountability Project, on the dangers of the new rule.
"Most of our whistle-blowers are national security professionals," Devine said. "If they get rid of the civil service system for those jobs, we're not just going to be vulnerable to a national security spoils system -- we'll have it."
Find out more about this critical, but underreported, memo in the full Bloomberg story.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

During the summer of 1897, Salt Lakers were entertained and thrilled with the amazing acrobatics and daring feats of Kearney P. Speedy, the "Champion High Diver of the Universe." He performed the most daring act of a headlong plunge from an 80 ft. tall tower into a tank containing only 3 ft. of water.
He performed two shows nightly at Saltair for two weeks. Also performing was Achille Phillion, the famous equilibrist.
Speedy grew up in Missouri and began his public career by jumping heard first from the St. Louis Bridge as a young man. He was born in 1875 as Kearney Parsons Speedy to his father Cal and mother Elnora Speedy. He was the middle child of three surviving sons. His father and brothers were not performers like Kearney but they were all respected local businessmen.
According to Speedy, the secret to a successful high dive is to "…maintain the perpendicular… The high diver, as you have seen, makes a clear dive, head first, just as a boy does from a springboard in swimming. I do it in very shallow water…. The shallow dive is possible from the same principle that a cannon or a rifle shot meets the most resistance the more powerful the impact. You see, I give my body and head a slight inclination upward at the instant I strike the water, which causes me to pop out as a board would do or an oar on the feather."
By 1918, Speedy has mostly retired. He had toured the United States for more than 20 years jumping from towers, bridges, and hot air balloons. In 1907 he performed in Africa and India and was the headliner attraction in England. In Africa he was presented with 65 two-carat diamonds for his performance for a diamond mine.
In 1921, Speedy broke another world sport record by diving 186½ feet into 4½ feet of water and according to newspaper reports "did not get his back wet."
Most of his dives had been mostly injury free but by 1918 he had broken his leg and had a scar above one eye which was blinded as a result of a miscalculation of distance.
It is not known what happened to Speedy after 1930. He was listed in the 1930 census as being a ward of the Kings Park State Hospital psychiatric hospital in New York. He and his wife, Nellie, never had children and she died prior to his hospitalization.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."-Theodore Roosevelt

"Dear Steve,
I have a first mortgage (about $210-220K) with PNC Mortgage and a second/line of credit with PNC Bank ($65K) on my apartment in Washington, DC.
I lost my job in 2010 and moved to Illinois to help care for my elderly parents (I'm in my mid 50's), I am behind on both payments now 7 months. Foreclosure is looming, and PNC Bank is beginning process for a charge off.
I have no income nor prospects for work, I do not live in the apartment (it's vacant), it's been on the market since March 2012 with a couple of low ball offers.
I attempted different programs but because of being unemployed and not living in the unit, I qualify for none of them.
What are my options? I have been advised to walk away and face the fact that my credit will be in ruins. What legal course might they take? Please advise, and thank you for your time and expertise.
Dear Peter,
The key item you mentioned is there is no current expectation you will be able to afford any payments.
Your options seem to be either to get their permission to do a short sale on the property and eliminate your potential lingering liability or allow them to take the property back and then file a chapter 7 bankruptcy to completely discharge any liability you might have on the apartment.
In a short sale situation it would require you getting their permission to do that, find a real estate agent experienced in such sales, find a potential buyer, present an offer to the bank and get them to agree. Getting them to make a decision can take months. All while you hope the buyer doesn't go elsewhere.
If you filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy your liability for the loans would be eliminated in about 90 days and you could immediately begin to rebuild your credit using the link in the resource section below.
You can click here to find a local bankruptcy attorney and talk to them for free about your specific situation. Get the facts and then you can make an informed and educated decision if bankruptcy is right for you.

|Mathematical theory for charged particles: from kinetic equations to continuum models
|Computational and Applied Mathematics Colloquium
|Hao Wu, Mathematics, Fudan University, China
|The impact of charged-particles on the human's life is constantly increasing, due to their importance in such domains as plasma physics, industrial processes, biology, etc. It is related to a large variety of physical situations and has complex multiscale character. In this talk, I will explore the mathematical theory for the charged particles including the kinetic equations and continuum field models. In particular, I will discuss the diffusion limit of Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck (VPFP) equations to the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations for multispecies charged particles, which are widely used to describe the drift-diffusion of electrons and holes in semiconductors, as well as the movement of ions in solutions and protein channels. Besides, I will discuss the well-posedness and long-time behavior of the PNP equations with a nonlinear generation-recombination rate.

I've never been comfortable giving my dogs rawhide treats. Some dogs have a hard time digesting rawhide, and I didn't want to take the chance. However, I wanted a long lasting treat--something to keep the dogs busy for hours. I started looking for alternative treats and that is when I found Pork Chomps. The Pork Chomp brand makes their treats out of pig skin instead of rawhide. An article in Study of Animal Science goes into the detailed breakdown of pork skin versus rawhide. The article can be found here.
Pork Chomps come in a variety of sizes and flavors. They have several different types of treats so it's easy to find the right one for your dog. The treats aren't messy and dogs can't get enough. These treats can be found in most pet stores.

Moving furniture is easy - if you have four brothers. Four brothers who live locally and are totally cool with dropping everything they're doing to come over and shuffle your living room set around. For those of us who aren't so happily equipped with helpful family members, there's the EZ Moves Furniture Moving System. And at $20, it costs you a fraction of what those brothers require in beer and pizza.

July 25, 1999
Winnipeg, Canada - A strong showing against Canada is all the United States women hoped for Sunday during preliminary play at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Canada. Team USA coach Guy Baker got his strong showing, but it wasn't strong enough. Canada eked out an 8-7 victory to up their record against the United States to 4-10 since January 1998.
The teams met in the same pool in which Canada defeated the U.S. 6-4 in May's FINA World Cup to earn an Olympic berth. With a little less on the line during Sunday's prelims, the United States used the game to work on skills absent among the young team during Saturday's tough loss to Brazil.
"You never like to lose to your rival," USA and UCLA coach Guy Baker said. "We played like I expected us to play. We played like a team, and that's what we didn't do yesterday. With some new players out there and only one weekend of practice with the whole team since May, we really needed to just work through this game."
Canada led from start to finish, due much to the efforts of two-meter offensive standout Johanne Begin. With an average two-inch, 26-pound advantage on her defenders, Begin dominated the middle, scoring four point-blank goals.
For U.S. goalie Bernie Orwig, Begin was the toughest trench player she's seen to date. "It was difficult knowing which way she'd go. We spread them out to cut off their perimeter shots, but that left our defense unable to help out and double-team [Begin] in the middle," Orwig said. "Once the ball is in that close, you don't know which way they're going to turn. You have to read and guess, and hope that you guess correctly."
Orwig guessed correctly on six of seven perimeter shots, and was 1-for-2 in extra-man situations, but was just 2-for-6 against Begin.
Once again, the United States offense came to life in the second half. Down 6-2 with 2 minutes remaining in the third period, Team USA scored three unanswered goals to pull within one goal just 35 seconds into the fourth period.
"We went into the game wanting to move the tempo, get drives on goal, create open water for our girls to move and shoot," said UCLA speedster Coralie Simmons, who scored two goals to increase her tournament total to five. "We forced too many passes and were too patient looking for opportunities in the first half. In the second half, knowing we needed to shoot more, we were less choosy and it paid off."
The United States took just eight first-half shots compared to 17 second-half shots, nine of which were considered on-goal. But just as Team USA earned some momentum, that's when Begin took matters into her own hands. Two extra-man goals in the fourth period each extended Canada's lead to two goals, keeping the United States at bay.
The United States takes on Cuba at 11 a.m. Monday in the conclusion of preliminary play. Cuba did not play Sunday, and lost 15-4 to Canada on Saturday.
Scoring Summary Team 1 2 3 4 Total United States (white) 0 1 3 3 6 Canada (blue) 1 2 3 2 8
Goals USA: Scott 2, Simmons 2, Swail 2, Johnson. CAN: Begin 4, Campbell 3, Deslieres.

text: How many of you actually do your own wash, dry and fold? I'm sure it's not too high of a percentage. Maybe you filled in one day when the attendant was ill.Well, for those of you who haven't spent a full day doing this extra service, let me tell you, it's a dirty, smelly, and unappreciated job. During the past 26 years, I have had one, two or maybe three attendants who seemed to be happy to do the drop-off service for minimum wage and a five-cents-per-pound commission.A LITTLE BACKGROUNDAbout a year ago, my last attendant left. She told me it was because the salary was too low — even with a recent increase to a seven-cents-per-pound commission on top of the salary. I checked my sales records, which indicated that an hourly wage increase was not justified.The people I interviewed to fill the position wanted more, too. So I "temporarily" took over the position with the help of my wife. I soon wondered why, for so many years, these women worked for such little remuneration. I always assumed that they were getting great tips from their regular customers, as well as seasonal holiday gifts. But I soon found out that was not the case.LEARNING EXPERIENCESince I took over the attendant work, I noticed that less than 10% of customers give anything other than a "Thanks."As for tips, most often this is the customer saying, "Keep the change," which is usually less than a dollar, or giving me a dollar bill. Is it just me, or do attendants deserve more than that?Besides doing drop-off work, most attendants are also expected to keep the store clean. There are many unappreciative customers doing their own wash who the attendant has to clean up after — they do as much as any waitress who has to keep her station clean.My wife tells me I'm cheap, but even I know that when I go in for an $8 haircut, at least a $2 tip is in order. The food delivery person gets a buck or two on a $15 order, and more for a costly order. For a waitress to bring you a crummy $3 beer, she gets at least a $1 or two.What should the attendants get? With the laundry loads ranging from $7 to more than $40, you would think that a reasonable gratuity for going through someone's dirty clothes would be at least a $5 tip, or more.It takes me about 30 minutes of hands-on work (not including the time the machines take) to sort, pre-treat, load, unload, and flip inside-out items to try to fold neatly. And I work fast. How long does it take to deliver a pizza? Why is that "big effort" worth more to some people?MATCHING UPI'm already charging 70 cents a pound for regular laundry (blankets and rugs are $1 per pound). Many of my competitors charge 60 cents. My profit levels are slim — even with me doing the work. How can we justify paying an attendant $50 to $80 a shift that grosses just $30 some days?At best, I can do 300 pounds of wash in a day. A more realistic 200 pounds a day, at 70 cents, is $140 gross. After I pay the attendant the minimum wage and seven-cents-per-pound commission, I'm looking at about $60 to cover my soap, bleach, softener and wash/dry costs, as well as Social Security, worker's comp and unemployment insurance.WHAT'S THE ANSWERIf the tips aren't doing the job, then it's up to the owners to pay more. How do you pay the attendant more if the customer isn't paying for it in the bill? Should you justify having an attendant purely as an expense, like keeping the lights on? Should you think if the attendant handles a variety of maintenance-related tasks and does some laundry that it offsets the expense?If we're doing laundry at close to cost, or under cost, that is charity. No, that's not charity, that's stupidity! Let's face it, 25 years ago, I was charging about 40 cents a pound. Since then, my expenses have more than doubled. Why are our prices not reflecting that?The only problem I have with raising my service price is that there are other laundries around. They're already charging less than I am. How do they survive?If I raise my prices and they don't raise theirs, I'll lose the little business I have now. If all of the laundries were competitive with their pricing and reasonably high enough to make things worthwhile — even in today's economy — then we could all be happy.The only answer I see is to raise our prices to a level where we can pay our attendants properly and still make a profit. That's the definition of running a business and making a living.

For all my fellow baby boomers you'll especially appreciate these ads. Some are before your time, others will bring back some childhood memories. But whenever you start to wax on nostalgically looking to the past and lamenting that "life was so much... slower, more meaningful?" think twice. With the advent of some great science and technology we've improved life on planet earth. Now all we've got to do is to figure out how to sustain it... with care and sensitivity to other generations to come. Enjoy! We're premiering a special on nostalgia coming soon on www.pacificnetwork.tv

I agree that xmas as we know it is for crap. As far as the tree thing goes though, aren't those from tree farms grown specifically for the purpose? It's not like they're coming straight from virgin forests. Those trees might not have been grown otherwise, so they might actually be beneficial for air quality and CO2 absorption.

But the spotlight of the evening will capture a special reading by the iconic wordsmith himself, Ishmael Reed.
One of the most respected American writers today, Ishmael Reed has fascinated and provoked his readers throughout his legacy of essays, plays, poems, and a proud feat of publishing more than 20 books, including "Mumbo Jumbo" and "Japanese By Spring." Reed has also recorded the spoken word with renowned musicians. A Bay Area legend, Reed has done much for his multi-cultural audiences, as well as for literature itself.
Through his magazine and publishing house, Reed has also presented the works of lesser known writers, including some of his past students at the University of California, Berkeley, highlighting voices from minority groups that rarely get mainstream media exposure.
"Ishmael Reed was the first person to publish my poem, and that meant so much to a young poet who felt so alone but had so much to say," offers Yuri Kageyama, Tokyo-based poet and musician. Yuri Kageyama is the one responsible for organizing this important tribute for Ishmael Reed.
This event is free and open to the public. Come out and don't miss this evening of celebration and honor.
For more information, please contact Yuri Kageyama at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Saturday, June 28th
7:00 PM-9:00 PM, doors open at 6:30 PM

An interesting interview with the beautiful and talented Steinunn Ósk Axelsdóttir, from Iceland. Here's how she started her music career.
How and when did you first get into performing?
Growing up I was into theater but never had the guts to sing in front of people. As I got older I started doing shows around Reykjavik, Iceland but it wasn't until I moved to Los Angeles that I gained the confidence to make it my profession.
What was life like in Iceland?
Iceland is a gorgeous country and very inspirational. The music scene is incredible, there is a lot of talent there. I always just felt like it was too small and too isolated. I was studying music there and doing shows but I just knew there was something else out there for me, something more. I still love going back and visiting, but L.A. is home now.
Who were your biggest inspirations growing up?
Music-wise, definitely Metallica, Silverchair and Portishead. Metallica with their hard-core, in your face attitude but beautiful lyrics. Silverchair, with their versatility and emotion and Portishead with the beautiful, breathy vocals. In life, my parents. They are the two hardest working people I have ever met and so incredibly supportive and loving. Great role models to have.
What type of music do you like writing and performing?
A lot of my own writing is very bluesy, I love the blues but then I also love to perform hard rock. Honestly, if I connect with the lyrics of a song, I love singing it.
The album that I released with my band is a little different, it's ambient, earthy, new age rock and very inspired by Depeche Mode, Devin Townsend, SigurRos and Portishead.
What has been your most favorite gig to play so far?
I think I would have to say a Halloween gig I did a while back. I dressed up as Lady Gaga (the skeleton costume she had on in the 'Born This Way' video) and rocked out with a few really great friends at a small bar in Hollywood. Had an amazing time!
Who or what would be your ideal collaboration?
I would love to work with Alice Cooper. I absolutely love his music and his shows are always incredibly inspiring. I've only seen him live about 4-5 times but each show had a different story. He has also been doing this a long time, I know I could learn a lot from him.
What advice do you have for upcoming performers?
Just keep doing it, over and over and over again. Oh and for singers; take good care of your voice!

While all of these questions aren't directly related to PERF membership and benefits, answering "yes" to the questions below may give you peace of mind.
By January 31 of each year, PERF mails 1099-R forms to all benefit recipients. The 1099-R form is like a W-2 form. It lists the total amount of benefits received during the year. It also shows the taxable and non-taxable amounts. PERF can withhold Indiana and Federal taxes. County taxes can be withheld if you withhold state taxes. If you didn't complete tax withholding forms when you retired, you can do that at any time.
PERF can withhold Federal tax based upon your marital status and the number of exemptions claimed. Please note: you must enter a withholding choice (married with three exemptions, single, etc.) before choosing an additional flat, whole dollar amount. You can go online to download the forms, or call or write to request them.
Direct deposit is the required method to provide your benefit payments. Direct deposit eliminates the chance that your check will be late, lost, or stolen. If you change banks, contact PERF about starting again at a new bank and filling out a new PERF direct deposit form.
If you change account numbers with the same bank, or if you change banks, contact PERF. Do NOT close your old account until you know funds are being deposited into your new account. It may take up to 60 days for the change to take effect.
If you are one of the few who receives a check, it should arrive by the 25th of the month. Contact the PERF office about late checks. We can begin the replacement process 10 days after the monthly benefit checks were mailed.
In the event of your death, a surviving family member should contact PERF. This allows us to stop your benefit payments and make payments to the named beneficiaries. PERF needs a copy of your death certificate with your name, Social Security number and date of death. The family may keep the check received in the month of your death. Any payments received after that time, must be returned. Please call and mail or fax a copy of the death certificate to PERF. Include your name, relationship to the deceased member and your telephone number, so we can contact you for further information.
PERF will verify the retiree's death. Then PERF will notify the surviving beneficiary of anything that he or she may need to do in order to start receiving their benefit.
For this reason it is very important that you let PERF know your beneficiary's current address.
Indiana law allows a beneficiary to decline a bequest. The law also decides how the bequest is handled if the beneficiary declines it. For more specific information on your situation, please contact PERF directly.
When you name a beneficiary or beneficiaries on your Retirement Application and it has been processed, changes are only allowed in limited circumstances. Your ability to make changes depends on the option you chose. Be certain which benefit option you chose, then check the chart below to find out the changes you may make.
|Your Retirement Option
|Beneficiary Changes Available
|Five-Year Certain and Life, Social Security Integration or Modified Cash Refund Plus 5-Year Certain and Life (formerly options 10, 61 and 71)
|You can change your beneficiary up to five years from the effective date of your retirement.
|Straight Life (formerly Option 20) at any time
|You can change your beneficiary under certain conditions.
|100% Survivor Benefit, 66 2/3% Survivor Benefit or 50% Survivor Benefit (formerly Options 30, 40 or 50) at retirement
|You cannot make a change as long as your joint survivor beneficiary is alive (with the exceptions shown below):
|100% Survivor Benefit, 66 2/3% Survivor Benefit or 50% Survivor Benefit (formerly Options 30, 40 or 50) at retirement and your beneficiary dies first
|You may name a new joint survivor beneficiary, or change to retirement Option 20.
For 100% Survivor Benefit, 66 2/3% Survivor Benefit or 50% Survivor Benefit (formerly options 30, 40 and 50), you must file a copy of your spouse or joint survivor beneficiary's death certificate. If you marry, you will need to file a copy of your marriage license. PERF will also need the birth certificate of your new joint survivor beneficiary. Please note that changing your joint survivor beneficiary may have a big impact on your monthly benefit.
If you are a retired member, you may change your joint survivor beneficiary or form of benefit after a divorce unless the divorce decree or property settlement agreement prohibits it. This event is one of a limited number of events when a joint survivor beneficiary may be changed after retirement.
Changes will become effective after INPRS receives completed forms and required documents. The changes ARE NOT retroactive.
You can go back to work after you retire and still receive PERF retirement benefits. You must have ended service for at least 30 days if you return to a PERF-covered position. For example, if you stop working on May 18, your retirement date is June 1. You would qualify to re-employ in a PERF-covered position on or after June 18. If you return to a PERF-covered position within 30-days after ending service, your retirement is void and you will not qualify for pension benefits.
Your PERF application for retirement benefits is void if you have an agreement, formal or informal, prior to your retirement, with a covered employer to return to work in a covered position. Your effective retirement date is the first day of the month in which you received retirement benefits. There is no limit on earnings for retired members who return to work in a PERF-covered position. Service credit is no longer earned and no money is put into your ASA.
If you retired from another Indiana public pension fund (such as the 1977 Police Officers' and Firefighters' Pension and Disability Fund), you do not have a minimum period of separation before taking a PERF-covered position with the same employer if you are age 55 or older. If you are younger than 55, you must separate from service for 30 days before returning to work.
Occasionally, errors occur in benefit calculation. If such an error is discovered, INPRS is required by federal and state law to correct errors at any time, including after you take a distribution of your account balance. If you receive an overpayment as a result of any error, INPRS is required by federal and state law to recover benefit overpayments. If you have an underpayment, you will receive an additional payment from INPRS.
At Age 70 with 20 years of Service
You can receive retirement benefits while still working in a PERF-covered position if you are 70 with at least 20 years of creditable service. If you choose to receive monthly retirement benefits while working in a PERF-covered position, you can no longer earn service credit toward retirement. You can continue contributing to your ASA. If you choose this option, you can't withdraw your continued contributions and earnings until you end service.
Special Provisions for Those in Elected Office
You may begin receiving retirement benefits while continuing to work in an elected position if you:
If you retire and receive benefits and you are later elected or appointed to a PERF-covered position, you may continue to receive benefits. If you continue your benefits, you will not earn any more service credit. You can choose to make ASA contributions but it is not required. If you stop retirement benefits, the mandatory 3 percent contribution must be made to your ASA. You will continue to earn service credit. You can't withdraw your continued contributions and earnings until you end service.

Someone threw a large piece of a concrete curb through the front window of Rent-A-Center on Mahoning Avenue and got away with a $2,071 flat-screen high-definition television, according to a police report.
The incident was reported to police shortly after 2 a.m. Tuesday. The concrete curb smashed the northeast portion of the store's front window. Nothing else was stolen, according to the police report.
Theives will get what they want, they were not afraid to break-in on a street like Mahoning. Shame on them
This is quite simply the poor and under privledged acquiring wealth the old fashioned way . STEALING IT ! As soon as some cash changes hands there will be a crack party going on . Rent-A-Center will not be charged for any code violations if they repair the window quickly .
it's not stealing-it's weatlh redistribution,they're not theives they're community organizers
oboma 2012 because goverment is the answer
This TV was meant for the Bourgeois and these poor underprivileged people will get cash from those with means and party ! Crack Cocaine is the Nectar that feeds their spirits and this TV will be the vehicle to get it for them . Material wealth may be fine but culture is divine !
It looks like After12 TV Sales Inc, made another sale! Proof positive that the recession is ending. And Stan: If they're looking for culture on TV, they'd do better at looking in a Petrie dish at some chemical lab. Whoops! What did I just say? If they were in a chemical lab, they wouldn't be looking for culture-they'd be doin' some mixing and blending of "stuff".

The canalicular plasma membrane is constantly exposed to bile acids acting as detergents. Bile acids are essential to mediate release of biliary lipids from the canalicular membrane. Membrane microdomains (previously called lipid rafts) are biochemically defined by their resistance to detergent solubilization at cold temperature. We aimed to investigate the canalicular plasma membrane for the presence of microdomains, which could protect this membrane against the detergent action of bile acids. Highly purified rat liver canalicular plasma membrane vesicles were extracted with 1% Triton X-100 or 1% Lubrol WX at 4 degrees C and subjected to flotation through sucrose step gradients. Both detergents yielded detergent-resistant membranes containing the microdomain markers alkaline phosphatase and sphingomyelin. However, cholesterol was resistant to Lubrol WX solubilization, whereas it was only marginally resistant to solubilization by Triton X-100. The microdomain marker caveolin-1 was localized to the canalicular plasma membrane domain and was resistant to Lubrol WX, but to a large extent solubilized by Triton X-100. The two additional microdomain markers, reggie-1 and reggie-2, were localized to the basolateral and canalicular plasma membrane and were partially resistant to Lubrol WX but resistant to Triton X-100. The canalicular transporters bile salt export pump, multidrug resistance protein 2, multidrug resistance-associated protein 2, and Abcg5 were largely resistant to Lubrol WX but were solubilized by Triton X-100. Conclusion: These results indicate the presence of two different types of microdomains in the canalicular plasma membrane: "Lubrol-microdomains" and "Triton-microdomains". "Lubrol-microdomains" contain the machinery for canalicular bile formation and may be the starting place for canalicular lipid secretion.

April 21, 2013
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The University of Iowa women's golf team finished tenth at the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational, hosted by Ohio State University at the Ohio State University Scarlet Course. The Hawkeyes fired a team total 321 (+33) in their final round to card a 54-hole score of 952 (+88).
"It was a tough day for us but I was pleased with our composure," head coach Megan Menzel said. "Everyone is eager to get back and work on some putting and chipping. We are striking the ball well, and with some work on our short game, we will be ready for the Big Ten Tournament."
Sophomore Lauren English posted a solid round of 82 (+10) on the final day of play. English carded 10 holes at or below par in her final round to card a 54-hole score of 238 (+22). English finished tied for 37th.
Senior Kristi Cardwell paced the Hawkeyes on the final day of play firing an 80 (+8). Cardwell sunk 32 pars in the tournament to post a 54-hole score of 239 (+23). Cardwell finished tied for 40th.
Nicole Rae sunk three birdies in her final round to post an 83 (+11) and a 54-hole score of 247 (+31). Rae finished tied for 52nd.
Senior Gigi DiGrazia posted her best score of the tournament coming in with a 77 (+5) which ties a season low. DiGrazia sunk 13 pars in her final round of play to card a 54-hole score of 250 (+34). DiGrazia finished tied for 56th.
Freshman Briana Midkiff also posted her best score of the tournament on the final day firing an 82 (+10). Midkiff carded a 54-hole score of 252 (+36) and finished in 62nd place.
Sophomore Shelby Phillips put together three solid rounds of golf at the Lady Buckeye but unfortunately signed an incorrect score card on the final day of play, taking a 40 on hole No. 18 instead of a 4. Phillips carded a 54-hole score of 267 (+51) and finished tied for 70th.
"Shelby had a great tournament but unfortunately she signed for an incorrect score card," said Menzel. "She played three great rounds on a tough golf course."
The Hawkeyes hit the links next on April 26 at the Big Ten Championships in French Lick, Ind.

Khazad-dûm Report: October 12, 1997
Khazad-dûm Discussion Group Report
October 12, 1997, Topic: The Unicorn Sonata by Peter S. Beagle
Reported by Berni Phillips
Reprinted from Mythprint Volume 35 Number 2 (Whole #191), February 1998.
The October meeting of Khazad-dûm was held at 2 p.m. on October 12 at Ellie Farrell's digs. I say "digs" to get in the spirit of the day which, unbeknownst to us, happened to be another one of those 30-year celebrations of the Summer of Love. (I'm not sure if the celebration is 30-years long, but I do know that October counts as summer in San Francisco.) The resultant parade of tour buses and yuppiemobiles made parking at Ellie's almost-beachside apartment all but impossible, thus giving us our first topic of conversation for the day.
This meeting also found us with both fresh blood and an exotic visitor. Charles, from Concord, came to Khazad-dûm for the first time. I'm not sure if he gave us his last name and I just forgot it or if he was holding said name in reserve until he was sure exactly what kind of lunatics we all were. We also had a visitor from sunny SoCal, Lynn Maudlin, who is sort of a one-gal party all by herself.
The book under discussion was Peter Beagle's The Unicorn Sonata. The general agreement was that it was a charming YA with delightful characters. There was a prayer of thanksgiving for its not being a bloated behemoth, as so much of the field seems to be. However, short books that everyone enjoys do not make for long discussions, so we soon went on to other things.
Said things included the gluing back together of Ellie's futon frame and the watching of selections from Arden's video of the past Mythcon. After ten years of hosting Khazad-dum discussions, the wood frame for Ellie's futon-slash-couch chose that day to wiggle apart. We decided to hold a mass gluing ceremony, not too unlike those immortalized in James Blaylock's The Paper Grail. Newcomer Charles asked if we always do that at meetings. No, he was told, sometimes we work on chairs or footstools or tables. He decided to beat a hasty retreat. (Being the youngest and probably best in shape person in the room, he may have been afraid of indentured servitude.) The rest of us gamely carried on in our efforts, proving that the glue which binds Khazad-dum together is, in fact, Krazy Glue (trademark). Ellie proved, in case anyone still had any doubts, that she is indeed a costumer by then using layers of duct tape as a sort of vise for the frame.
The futon cushion had been moved to the floor for the ritual gluing. There it remained for the watching of the video, allowing the glue to set properly. Everyone assumed orgy position to watch highlights of the video, primarily the segment on the Not Ready for Mythcon Players production. As always, we are our own best audience.
