Like most Australians, the victims of the Canberra bushfires were underinsured by up to 40 per cent.
ASIC says consumers had not kept their policies up to date - and insurers had not kept their customers informed. Emma Renwick reports.
PETER LUCY: Monday after the fire I was on the steps of the insurance company's assessor, trying to determine what my insurance was and the details of the policy. I was quite shocked at that meeting. The Insurance assessor said 'well I really don't understand your policy - I never have'. And after a few questions, he jumped on the phone to the insurance company's hotline, and clarified some of the issues. Following that I asked for that number and he said 'I'm sorry I can't give you that number - it's for assessors only, you'll have to use a general claims number - which I did. So after that meeting, I was very concerned, and I knew from that point we were underinsured, and insurance was going to be a big issue.
REPORTER (EMMA RENWICK) : Underinsurance was such a big issue for so many people in Canberra, that the Australian Securities and Investment Commission ASIC were prompted to investigate.
DELIA RICKARD (ASIC): There were three areas that we're working with the insurance industry on. The first thing we're doing is working with the insurers and the ICA to improve the standard of the calculators out there, to bring others up the levels(?) of those who have the really good calculators. Secondly we're talking...we want to talk to the industry about whether or not there's a commercial case for introducing some different types of home insurance in Australia - one such policy that we know of available in Australia, but they're not commonly available here, but they are available in New Zealand, and to a lesser extent in the US. With these policies, the insurer wears the onus, they determine how much it would cost to replace the home and when you get the policy, what you buy is a total replacement.
ALAN MASON (Insurance Council): At the end of the day, it's the customer usually wants to exercise their right to decide what they want to insure for, and how much they want to pay. We did market research at the end of last year on this very question, and we found that by far and away the vast bulk of consumers thought it was their job to work out what they wanted to insure for.
REPORTER: But it's leaving it to the customer, that caused so much grief in Canberra. Peter Lucy thought he'd done the right thing. He'd been with the one insurer for 30 years, and had regularly increased his insurance value.
PETER LUCY: It was a shock to us to find that we were underinsured. I had the ... I had the ...as I said I had the valuer on behalf of the bank value the property. We then had, after the fire, the assessor, come along and look at the property, and his estimate was 60% incorrect. I think if you're on the inside of an insurance company you know exactly how to value your house, but if you're on the outside I think you need to do a lot of work, and speak to a lot of builders to get the right figures - it's not an easy thing to do.
DELIA RICKARD: We also found that consumers were underinsured because Industry didn't do enough to bring to consumers awareness, the need to increase your level of insurance each year, and consumers weren't aware enough, and weren't doing it.
ALAN MASON: Companies have tried all sorts of different measures to try and address this problem and I am sure they will take on board some of the suggestions from ASIC and have a look at other ways they might do it as well.
REPORTER: Taking on an insurance company is a daunting prospect for most policy holders even when they feel hard done by.
DELIA RICKARD: If that does happen to you you can go to the insurance ombudsman scheme with your complaint and the scheme will deal with it there and consumers can get compensation in the circumstances.
REPORTER: But don't you think we should be trying to fix the problem before that happens?
DELIA RICKARD: One of the things ASIC is concerned about is that we don't want to actually do something that will stop insurers giving advice at all because at the end of the day for a lot of consumers if they can' get help from their insurer they've got nowhere else to turn - so it's a fine line you've got to work. You've got to work with industry but if you come in too hard people will stop giving advice to consumers and consumers at the end of the day will be worse off in that situation.
PETER LUCY: The insurance company places all the risk of insurance on the insured.
They take very little risk themselves. They do assessments on a regular basis to determine their exposure.
ALAN MASON: When there has been a disaster, the first motive of an insurance company is to get in there and help people - that's what our product is all about.
It's paying claims, helping people recover from disaster.
REPORTER: ASIC says industry will be motivated to make change to improve customer relations.
PETER LUCY: Well I am a disgruntled customer and I haven't seen any change in three years. So I am not terribly sure that that is a correct statement. The only way to make change is to change the law and regulate where necessary.
ALAN MASON: I am not actually aware of any demand for regulation. We've just gone through an exhaustive 12 months consultative process in designing the new code and we got loads and loads of submissions. We had the code reviewed by the former chairman of ASIC. There was no demand for further regulation. We think we've listened to all the consumer business and other issues that have been raised and the code actually responds to those concerns.
PETER LUCY: What annoys me most of all is I have had building insurance for thirty years with the same company and then at the end of that period when I do go to claim on the policy it's no holds barred and they read from the bottom line.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A Utah-based gay and lesbian newspaper has
named Mormon church President Thomas S. Monson its 2008 'Person of
the Year.'
Editors of "QSaltLake" say Monson has had a significant impact on Utah's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, sparking many people to get involved in the gay-rights movement.
In June, Monson asked church members to help pass Proposition 8, a California ballot initiative to ban gay marriage. The measure was approved by voters in November. Mormon church facilities have since
been picketed or targeted for vandalism.
QSaltLake editor Michael Aaron says the selection is not meant to spite Monson or the church, but simply recognizes his part in invigorating gay rights activism in Utah.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas Senate committee has endorsed a state budget proposal that avoids cuts in public school aid and uses federal stimulus dollars to stay balanced.
The Ways and Means Committee voted 13-0 on Thursday night for a bill containing the spending plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1. The Senate expects to debate it Tuesday.
The budget adopted by the Ways and Means Committee contains some of the key recommendations from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
The Republican-controlled committee accepted the Democratic governor's proposals to use $585 million in federal stimulus funds to help avoid a deficit. That plan allows the state to avoid cutting its $3.78 billion in annual aid to Kansas' 295 school districts.
But the committee also differed with Sebelius on some points.

Re: Need serious advice
That was a bit confusing because I am looking at that here at myFICO and being shown that it is hurting my score. I am new to this so I guess I am going to have to catch on to a lot. So the ScorePower section is all Equifax.... in Fair Issacs determines what my FICO is based on that report.
Crap! Do you have 3 separate FICO scores?
Or one average FICO based on the info from all 3?
I am going to be mad if I am paying FICO for my score and only getting to see one of the 3.... lol.

JGD #26: Oil Slick
Kevin McCartney
December 03 2014 04:46PM
I have to begin with a confession I've made before - I was born in Edmonton, and I grew up an Oilers fan. Regardless of that fact, I think the misery of the Oiler predicament has moved past funny and into the territory usually reserved for when your friend is in a bad relationship and can't seem to get out - it's awkward and uncomfortable and comes with equal parts sympathy and fatigue. "Have you tried changing your opinion on corsi and analytics? You have? I mean... maybe you have to get a new goalie? You were saying your goalies have been bad. You have to do something. You can't keep going like this. I know, I know it's hard."
So, any Oiler fans or sympathizers, I promise not to pile on in this preview. Edmonton has a better hockey club than their record states, and it's just a matter of time before they finally beat a Western conference opponent. It could even be the Jets tonight, with injuries to Tobias Enstrom and Grant Clitsome forcing Ben Chiarot into this second NHL game in front of Ondrej Pavelec. (But, I mean, probably not...)

And if it is successful, it will save the $7800 annual cost
of emptying them.
The catch for parents is that they can expect whatever
rubbish their children take to school in the morning will
arrive home with them in the afternoon.
The scheme is being promoted by the college's Team Green
Principal Wayne Bosley told the Otago Daily Times this
week any savings that result will go into other
sustainability projects.
Mr Bosley said the idea was for people to take ''total
responsibility'' for rubbish.
''We have set ourselves the goal of trying to become bin-free
by some stage this year.''
He agreed the scheme was a variation on the ''leave nothing
but footprints'' policy encouraged among visitors to New
Zealand's National Parks.
''It's just trying to turn around an age-old issue about
litter in schools.''
Those seen ''doing the right thing'' by picking up other
people's litter will be issued with a ''gotcha'' card and go
into a prize draw.
Mr Bosley said there were logistical problems to solve before
the school went bin-free but there had already been a big
He was not aware of any other school being bin-free.
Team Green's research revealed it took 252 hours a year to
empty the college's bins and even then there was still litter
Wanaka Primary School is taking another approach to its
litter problem.
Principal Wendy Bamford said the school was trying to
convince parents not to send food wrappings to school but to

Whatever display you use, from time to time you probably find yourself squinting at it. In my case, realising I'm hunching over my desk usually prompts me to increase the onscreen type size or reach for my glasses.
Adjusting your sitting position and where your screen is in relation to the sun may help you view the screen properly. If there's too much glare, a screen filter can help. Adjusting the contrast is yet another option.
But none of this is much use if the fault lies with your eyesight or the hardware limitations of your monitor. Using a larger screen and switching to a lower resolution can help. If you've got a netbook, however, you'll already be using a low setting.
Microsoft's attempts to beautify the Windows interface can result in onscreen information being hard to make out - muted colours that lack contrast aren't ideal if you've got poor eyesight or are feeling tired.
Whatever your reason for needing a better display, we've got a host of tips to improve your viewing experience. Windows XP and Vista have built-in tools to help you overcome visibility issues, and we've uncovered some useful third-party tools. Reflecting the fact that there are useful onscreen tweaks to be made in both XP and Vista, we've provided advice for both versions of Windows.
Windows XP and Vista screen tips
Windows XP and Vista have dedicated menus to improve onscreen setup for impaired vision or use with a screen reader. In XP, go to Start, Control Panel, Accessibility. In Vista, go to Control Panel and click on the blue Ease of Access option.
Vista's menu has four main elements: a magnifier; a narrator (which starts automatically unless you click the Microsoft Narrator option and choose Exit); an onscreen keyboard; and a high-contrast display.
If you need help deciding which are most appropriate, ask for recommendations by clicking the option below the four icons.
Windows 7 will add accessibility support by extending its range of touchscreen controls; otherwise, all three versions of Windows cover the same basic options.
ClearType and font smoothing: Certain fonts are difficult to read. Windows has a tool to deal with this: ClearType. To activate ClearType, bring up the Properties dialog by right-clicking anywhere onscreen.
Under the Appearance tab, choose Effects, then tick the box next to 'Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts'. Switch from Standard to ClearType on the now-active drop-down menu. You can also select the 'Use large icons' option on the same Effects pane before hitting Apply to activate your chosen settings.
Another way to get a larger view of things is by choosing 'Extra large icons' in the drop-down menu in the Appearance dialog. If it's helpful, you can set up your applications so that features listings and filenames are displayed larger.
In Vista, right-click anywhere on the desktop, choose Personalize and select 'Adjust font size' from the lefthand pane.
Depending on how many programs you've installed and how many are listed onscreen at once, you may find you need to fine-tune resolution settings, icon sizes and the way information is presented in order to get everything in view at once. You'll find that it pays to assess which programs are listed by default on the Start menu and under the recent applications menu.
If you can launch the most commonly used programs simply by clicking on the Start button and bringing up their shortcut, day-to-day navigation and use will be that much more efficient.
Using Window's accessibility tools: Windows' accessibility tools enable you to set up your desktop the way you like it - which may be different from the way your other half or your children like to work. The beauty of having separate user accounts is you can all have things your own way.
However, if you're not bothered about creating separate user profiles and are happy to occasionally adjust accessibility options, you can simply set Windows to wait a certain time and then revert to its regular setup.
On the other hand, it may be that you need to be able to use a PC in a specific way but don't always use the same machine. You can save your preferred settings and export them for use on another PC by following the prompts of the Accessibility wizard.
Magnifying information: Windows has a magnifier, which you'll find under Start, All Programs, Accessories in XP or in Vista's Ease of Access menu. It doubles the size of everything onscreen by default, but you can boost this to as much as nine times.
It's also possible to adjust how much of the split screen is magnified and how much is shown at standard size by dragging the divider between the two. It's best to retain a reasonable onscreen area for the original-size window or dialog as a marker when you scroll around your documents or desktop.
Mousing around: Many of us complain of the frustration of losing track of the mouse. These pesky rodents seem to have minds of their own. But it's possible to stop yours running off with such alacrity by adjusting the rate at which it travels across your screen.
To do this, go to Control Panel and choose the green Accessibility options icon. Under the Mouse pane you can set how quickly the mouse responds to being pushed around, and you can also tick the MouseKey option to unlock further features.
MouseKeys let you use the numeric keypad to the right of your keyboard to control your mouse or another type of input device. This is a useful provision for those with physical impairments that mean a joystick, paddle or single-handed controller is a more appropriate form of input.
StickyKeys: If you find it difficult to use a keyboard, particularly when you're required to press more than one key at once, try using StickyKeys. Accessed via Control Panel, Accessibility Options, this lets you press one of the 'command' keys separately from the keystroke it's modifying.
Say you want to insert the £ sign, which you would normally do by pressing Shift and 3. Instead, you could invoke the StickyKey feature by pressing the Shift button five times in succession. Now you can press Shift and then the key you want it to modify, without having to press both at once.
ToggleKeys is another useful feature. It alerts you whenever you select (intentionally or otherwise) the Number Lock, Scroll Lock or Caps Lock.
Accessibility for the partially sighted: If you have difficulty reading information onscreen, you may find a screen reader helpful. Jaws is a decent choice.
The standard version of Jaws uses a speech engine to render written text as synthesised spoken text. The company also produces a version for Braille readers.
Viewing options in XP
Adjusting colour contrasts: Long- and short-sighted people are well catered for by Windows, but they're not the only ones: there are also good options for the colour-blind.
The popular belief is that colour blindness means you see even the most vibrant, multicoloured images in black, white and shades of grey. This isn't so. Many of us struggle to distinguish between certain colours - we're not just talking about whether those dark blue trousers are actually black, but whether you can see that the two or more colours in question differ at all.
Windows contains a preset list of colour combinations that will help with this problem. In XP, visit the Control Panel and select the Accessibility Options icon. In Vista, click 'Set up High Contrast' in the Ease of Access menu.
Voice recognition: Windows' default Sam Narrator is useful but quite basic. If you want to dispense with using your keyboard as far as possible, load up a voice-recognition package instead. Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking is one of the best. You need to spend a bit of time training it to understand the idiosyncracies and unique inflections of your speech, but it's far more accurate than you might expect.
If you aren't keen on purchasing the software, you may find Microsoft Word's built-in utility sufficient. This can be used to read typed documents, but it's unlikely to be installed by default. To use it, go to Tools, Speech and have your Windows CD to hand.
Get a better view of the web
The web has become an invaluable information resource, but it's grown up organically according to people's whims and interests - and this applies to both content and design.
Clever Flash animations, in particular, can be a problem for those with poor eyesight. Neither do they lend themselves to screen-reader use, since Flash pages are generally recognised by web browsers as graphics rather than separate text and image elements.
Similarly, since the creation of web pages relies on a set of guidelines rather than hard and fast rules, not all are as carefully constructed as they might be. In theory, all elements should be clearly labelled in the HTML source code. A table comparing the costs of different brands of digital cameras, for example, would be labelled 'digital camera comparison table' and any images illustrating them ought to be labelled with the camera names.
Websites properly coded and labelled in this way are far easier for those with visual impairments to navigate - a screen reader such as Jaws will be able to read information enclosed in its Alt tags.
Web graphics can be a pain as they take ages to load up, particularly if you're hobbled by a slow internet connection. It's possible to dispense with them using the Internet Options dialogs in Internet Explorer (IE). This will ensure web pages load far more quickly.
You'll also find some websites, such as news.bbc.co.uk, have an option to show text only. Look for a button on the website's navigation bar offering a 'Low Graphics version' or similar.
Online fonts and colour schemes: While your PC is capable of generating thousands of colours, the web has a fixed colour palette limited to just 256 'web safe' shades for the sake of consistency. If distinguishing between colours is a problem for you, it may be worthwhile telling your web browser which combinations you're most comfortable with.
In IE you can change a range of display settings using the Tools drop-down menu. Choose Internet Options, Colors or Accessibility to bring up the relevant options. Deselect 'Use Windows colors' to specify your own palette. In the pane to the right of this option you'll see you can also set the colours to indicate whether you've already or have yet to follow a link.
To simply view the information found on websites with greater ease, go to IE's View menu and choose a more appropriate text size. You may also find it helpful to view web pages using the Full Screen option (press F11 or go to View, Full Screen).
Audio options: Because computer use is largely a visual experience, there are few specific audio accessibility options built into Windows - although you can, of course, alter volume settings at will. To alter general sound output levels to suit, go to Start, Control Panel, Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices and choose Adjust the System Volume.
To make global changes to the volume at which your PC alerts you to important events (and the not so important events, such as the fact your three-page document has been successfully sent to the printer), choose 'Change sound scheme' instead.
If you wish, you can add the volume controller to your Taskbar so it's available whenever you wish.
SoundSentry: SoundSentry does pretty much what you'd guess from its name: it keeps an eye out for specific events or actions and audibly lets you know about them as and when they occur. As with Windows' other Accessibility options, SoundSentry is customisable and can be set to alert you to as many or as few actions as you wish, ranging from new email and instant messages to the opening and closing of programs and documents and Windows exiting and shutting down.
Alternatively, if you simply dislike the standard noise Windows makes when performing routine tasks such as these, you can alter the type of sound associated with each action as well as setting your preferred volume.
For those who feel like they spend half their time firing up and powering down Windows, it could be a real boon to get rid of the regular refrain Microsoft has programmed into XP's startup routine. Then you can replace it with something less, well, like the sound of Windows booting up.
Handily, you don't need to override your PC's existing audio settings in order to make use of SoundSentry. You can save the default setup by giving it a name and create new audio profiles that can be invoked as and when you need them.
Another useful option is to get Windows to give you a running commentary using the Narrator. This reads out all information that appears in menus and dialog boxes onscreen. It also gives a verbal report when you select an option or need to know which ones are currently available to you.
You can specify the volume and speed at which the Narrator provides this feedback using the Narrator's Voice submenu.
Virtual keyboard: Windows contains a virtual keyboard which you can control by using the mouse cursor. Launch it from the Accessibility menu (under Start, All Programs, Accessories) and then choose whether to keep the familiar qwerty staggered key arrangement or swap to a 'block' layout instead.
If you find it easier, you can get Windows to recognise your keystrokes by merely hovering over characters rather than depressing them. The Typing Mode pane for input selection can be found under Settings on the onscreen keyboard.
Alternative keyboard layouts: Making your machine accessible and tailoring its setup specifically to your unique needs can also be approached in a more fundamental way. You could invest in a more comfortable, forgiving keyboard, for example, or a mouse that requires less physical movement.
Optical mice with a suspended ball allow you to simply run the palm of your hand over the top, saving your fingers from taking the strain. Other models can be programmed with shortcuts to provide single-click access to your email client and web browser, for example, or will happily launch a new Microsoft Word or Excel document.
Some people find split keyboards easier to use and less of a strain on the limbs. Both Microsoft and Logitech produce a range of such peripherals.
Do you spend a lot of time typing away and getting frustrated by the hobbling, counterintuitive qwerty keyboard layout? The qwerty layout, indeed, was designed specifically to slow down typists: 1920s typing-pool ladies were clattering their manual typewriter keys, causing them to clash and tangle.
The Dvorak layout may be a better alternative. XP supports this; it can be downloaded from microsoft.com/enable. What you do about relabelling the keys is another matter, however.
You can buy a dedicated Dvorak keyboard without breaking the bank, but a common strategy is to rearrange the keys yourself. If this sounds like a good idea, just remember the time you tried it with a Rubik's Cube: the puzzle was never the same again, and the loose pieces were always a bit of a giveaway.

ODT /directory
The programme for the festival that runs from April 16 to 21
was released in Wanaka yesterday.
It includes familiar names such as Michael Houstoun, Don
McGlashan, Julia Deans and Emily Perkins.
But it also includes the Scottish Opera Company with its
Baby O show for 6 to 18-month-old children.
Festival director Philip Tremewan has seen the opera in
Scotland and Christchurch.
''The babies are just totally rapt. They follow the music,
they follow the sound and they follow the actions with their
eyes and their ears.''
The 35-minute opera was composed by Rachel Drury, who
Tremewan says is both a musician and an expert on child
''She's keyed in the right sounds, the right words ... and
then there's the imagery - Buzzy Bees, washing going on the
line, all this sort of stuff.
''So it's perfect for little kids.''
Tremewan, who is also director of the Christchurch Arts
Festival, has been involved with Festival of Colour since its
inception and said he was always looking for new material.
He considers one of the highlights this year will be a
performance of Mike Oldfield's 1973 Tubular Bells LP.
The record was originally produced in a studio using about a
dozen different instruments.
The festival show has two Australian musicians - Daniel
Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts - frantically playing all the
instruments live.
There will also be a premiere performance by pianist Michael
Houstoun and soprano Jenny Wollerman, of songs from the past
200 years.

This is a discussion on What is the rule for parking lots in Tennessee? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So I know for a school parking lot TCA 39-17-1309 applies and you can keep it in your vehicle only as long as you don't ...
So I know for a school parking lot TCA 39-17-1309 applies and you can keep it in your vehicle only as long as you don't handle it....But what about other posted locations like businesses, local parks which are posted, airports and federal courthouses? Can the handgun stay in your vehicle? Are there any locations in Tennessee where you absolutely cannot even drive into the parking lot at all, etc.?
My blog
WARNING: This post may contain material offensive to those who lack wit, humor, common sense and/or supporting factual or anecdotal evidence. All statements and assertions contained herein may be subject to literary devices not limited to: irony, metaphor, allusion and dripping sarcasm.
+1 paaiyan and join the Tennessee Gun Owners (TGO) forum for more specific info relating to Tennessee.
My understanding: Federal property is a no-no under any circumstances--building, property, parking lots. The only exception is national parks but buildings with federal employees are still off limits in the park. State Parks are ok for HCP holders as they were allowed to keep existing signs (money saver?). Signs in TN have the weight of law. If the entrances to the parking lot are posted then the lot is a no-no. Posted private, state or local property such as a business, airportr, etc are a no-no. As to schools, read the law carefully. A HCP only allows you to have a weapon in the car as you are dropping off or picking up someone. You may not legally lesve it in the vehicle on any school property. And yes, you can not display it, handle it, etc.
All of the above only applies if you have a Handgun Carry Permit (HCP). TYour HCP is the only defense in this state to the crime of "going about armed" Hope this helps.
What we tolerate today our children will embrace tomorrow
"It is not an offense under this subsection (c) for a nonstudent adult to possess a firearm, if the firearm is contained within a private vehicle operated by the adult and is not handled by the adult, or by any other person acting with the expressed or implied consent of the adult, while the vehicle is on school property."
It says nothing of whether you are dropping someone off or not.
Another good question, and I'm glad to see that you are concerned with doing things right and operating within the law. You will be a good ambassador for the gun community. Again, Tennessee State law. You can't afford to get this kind of information from a public forum. Your azz hangs in the balance.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunder bolt...... Sun Tzu.
The supreme art of war is to defeat the enemy without fighting........ Sun Tzu.
perfection, the intent of the amendment to the original law was to allow adults with an HCP to drop off and pick up students while in possession of a handgun. Prior to that amendment you could not have your weapon on school property under any circumstances. That meant people dropping off their kids as they went to work were in effect denied the priveledge that a HCP gave them. It is my understanding that the Attoreney General has issued a ruling that the legislature's intent is to be followeed.You still can't legally leave it in your parked vehicle on school property, public or private no matter the grade level. BUT I am not an attorney nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Hopefully the "parking lot" bill (weak as it is) winding its way through the legislature will change the law so you can leave it in your locked car if you have a HCP. That said, employers are now going to be allowed to prohibit guns on their property, so a school board might do it also.
Welcome to the "carry club"
What we tolerate today our children will embrace tomorrow
Attorney General Opinion No. 09-129 does not use stronger or clearer language than TCA 39-17-1309 and does not say anything notable in regards to dropping off/picking up students.
Oh, just saw that you PMed me, RoadKill...Reading now...
Okay, so maybe TCA 39-17-1310 is the answer here...
"(4) A person entering the property for the sole purpose of delivering or picking up passengers and who does not remove, utilize or allow to be removed or utilized any weapon from the vehicle."
Here is a very interesting Attorney General Opinion on this subject (the pending bill) that just came out 3 days ago which I just found. But I'm getting too sleepy to read and comprehend...maybe tomorrow...
I think the bill comes up for House vote on Thursday. Here's the Senate version as it now stands.
Bill Summary
It will be interesting to see what the governor does.
Am I correct that it passed and was signed into law?
TN SB0142 | 2013-2014 | 108th General Assembly | LegiScan
I was not sure but was curious when it is effective thanks for posting that which says :GREAT news for anyone living working or traveling in TN where their permits are recognized IMO!!Haslam signed the bill, which goes into effect July 1,
I'm not "as happy" that it appears you may still lose your job IF your employer doesn't allow guns but it's far better than it used to be IMO

Hi, first off great work on this little plugin thus far! It's definitely saved me a lot of work.
However one feature that I wish was included in the widget was the ability to sort testimonials by random order.
I have a site where the client has requested 1 random testimonial displaying in the sidebar of every page. But in order to accomplish this I need to manually code my own widget rather than use the native testimonial widget included with this plugin.
Just a suggestion for an easy update that I think many users would find helpful.

Does Woot do birthday discount codes anymore? Or did that go away when they added free shipping for a day after first purchase?

mathcal is the only script font 'built
in'. However, there are other useful calligraphic fonts included with
modern TeX distributions.
Type 1 versions of the fonts are available in the AMS fonts
in your preamble. You may find the font rather too big; if so, you can use a scaled version of it like this:\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathscr}{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}
Adobe Zapf Chancery (which the above examples use) is distributed in any but the most basic PostScript printers. A substantially identical font (to the extent that the same metrics may be used) is available from URW, called URW Chancery L: it is distributed as part of the "URW base35" bundle; the urwchancal package (which includes virtual fonts to tweak appearance) provides for its use as a calligraphic font. The TeX Gyre font family also includes a Chancery replacement, Chorus; use it with tgchorus (and ignore the complaints about needing to change font shape).\DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{pzc}{} \DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}{<-> s * [0.900] pzcmi7t}{} \DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathscr}{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}

PCIPs, which went into effect last July, were set up to extend coverage for the medically uninsurable. The plans -- which cover primary and specialty care, hospitalization, prescription drugs and preventive care at 100% -- are intended to function as a bridge until 2014 when insurers can no longer deny coverage even to those who are sick.
Here is what's different about these plans:
Looser requirements: The requirement that you must demonstrate that you've been denied by insurers before applying has been lifted. That's a big deal and saves both time and money for people interested in applying.
Lower cost: The federal government runs the PCIP program in 23 states and Washington, D.C. In most of those places, the plans will become more affordable. The amount of premium cuts will vary by state, with some slashing prices by as much as 40%. You can check the government's web site to see what prices are where you live.
State flexibility: There are 27 states that run their own PCIP program, which have been granted the option by the federal government to reduce premium costs, as well. Check with your state's health department or PCIP (visit pcip.gov or call 866-717-5826).
Unfortunately, what's not different is the requirement that you are uninsured for six months in order to qualify for coverage.
For information about how to sign up for a PCIP plan, visit pcip.gov or call 866-717-5826.

Prudential Judgments
Your January 29 editorial, "Prolife, Yes, & Pro-reform," like most reporting on the subject, treats the Stupak amendment and the position of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as opposing federal funding of abortions. That is not accurate. The amendment would permit federal funding of abortions in the case of rape, incest, or physical threat to the life of the mother. I think that is the language of the Hyde amendment. The USCCB accepts that standard in federal legislation. Yet the USCCB's public statements on health-care reform often skirt the issue by referring to "elective abortions"—typically buried in documents voicing the bishops' opposition to proposed legislation. The media has not focused on that issue.
The USCCB claims to be taking an absolute moral stand on an issue that can brook no compromise. In fact, the bishops are making a prudential judgment, balancing political realities against moral issues. There is nothing wrong with that. But it flies in the face of the image they want to present—and have been successfully presenting. If they were compelled to acknowledge that they are willing to support public funding for some abortions, the basis of the argument might shift dramatically.

I have query-based distribution lists setup for all of the offices in my company. I need to add the HR distro to each of these query-based distribution groups, however since they don't have the same office location, they don't show up in the query results.
Is there a way to add an individual user/distro group to a query-based distribution group?
The way around it that I see is to create a new HR distro group for each office (i.e. HR-CityName) with that office included...however, I'm looking for a better solution if possible.
Thanks in advance.

Time to crown NHL award winners as playoffs loom
(Eds: With AP Photos.)
By DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
Remember the lockout? All that outrage over meaningless November and December games that were scrapped because of the labor dispute have faded from memory as the season comes down to a handful of games.
Once a partial season was salvaged, so was the chase for the Stanley Cup.
This year the Stanley Cup run really heats up -- June 28 is the last possible date for the finals.
Hockey, anyone? The late June sports calendar is usually reserved for Wimbledon. Forget the volleys this year and brace yourself for some checks.
The playoffs are a one-timer away and 15 teams are out to dethrone the Los Angeles Kings and hoist the Stanley Cup.
First though, a quick look back at the regular season and who deserves some "Around the Rinks" hardware. Time to pick some winners and find out who deserved awards that will have a lasting impact, even in a shortened season.
Hart Memorial Trophy (most valuable player): Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby had the MVP locked up through 36 games. He led the league in points and helped position the Penguins as the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. There's no doubt Crosby will still get some major consideration to win the NHL's biggest individual award. Aided by some additional recovery time because of the lockout, he put his concussions behind and again became one of the league's dominant players. But Crosby hasn't played since he was struck in the face by a puck on March 30. In his absence the Penguins, well, they're loaded with talent and still in first place. In just three weeks, that opened the door for Washington's Alex Ovechkin to surge ahead for top honors. He has an NHL-best 28 goals and seems set to reclaim the MVP trophy the Russian forward won in 2008 and 2009. "My answer would be, yeah, absolutely," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "Obviously, Sidney Crosby is another candidate, for sure. He had such a scoring lead. I think you've got to factor in the fact that he's missed a lot of games. That's not really for me to say though." We'll say it for him: Ovechkin can bank on another MVP.
Vezina Trophy (top goalie): Ilya Bryzgalov has cost the Flyers big bucks with not much production to show for their nine-year investment. He has been so erratic, Philadelphia went out and acquired Columbus backup Steve Mason and gave him some spot starts as it makes a last-gasp push for a playoff spot. Just think where the Flyers might be if they had the top goalie in the NHL. Oh, wait. They did. And they traded him to Columbus. All that move did was help transform Sergei Bobrovsky into one of the toughest goalies to beat. He has 17 wins and four shutouts and has the Blue Jackets primed for the postseason. He went 3-0-0 with a 0.97 goals-against average, .971 save percentage and one shutout in three games, stopping 100 of 103 shots last week. He's getting hot at just right the time, and that could be enough to win a round or two -- as well as the Vezina.
Norris Trophy (top defenseman): Ottawa's Erik Karlsson saw his chance to defend his trophy come to a devastating end with one vicious slash of a skate blade across his left Achilles tendon. Karlsson is expected to make a full recovery and return for next season. But that meant there would be a new Norris Trophy winner this season. Kris Letang of Pittsburgh, and Ryan Suter of Minnesota have made their case to earn the award. But no defenseman has proved he deserved top honors like Montreal's P.K. Subban. Subban has put all of his flashes of brilliance together for previous seasons and did it over the long haul this year. He's the NHL's top-scoring defenseman (11 goals, 36 points) and leads the Canadiens in points entering Wednesday's games. Subban's posted those numbers even after sitting out training camp and the first six games of the NHL regular season while negotiating a new two-year contract. Subban's proved he's worth every penny of the new deal.
Calder Trophy (most outstanding rookie): This is a tough one. Chicago Blackhawks forward Brandon Saad and Florida's Jonathan Huberdeau are certainly in the mix. Huberdeau, actually, has been one of the only reasons to pay attention to the worst team in the NHL. The Blackhawks think enough of Saad to pair him with Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa. Not bad company. But the front-runner for this award is Montreal's Brandon Gallagher. He has 13 goals, 24 points and has outplayed rookie teammate Alex Galchenyuk to stand as the class of the crop and be one of the few to win a major award in his first season.
Jack Adams Trophy (top coach): How do you pick the top coach? Is it the one leading the team with the best record? Well then, come on down Chicago's Joel Quenneville. Or is it the one who's pulled off a nice professional comeback? If so, how about Bruce Boudreau? But this year's pick comes from north of the border in Montreal's Michel Therrien. The fabled Canadiens finished last in the Eastern Conference last season. Therrien returned to the team that gave him his first NHL job a decade ago and quickly turned a 31-35-16 team from a year ago into the Northeast Division leaders. Only Pittsburgh has more points in the East and suddenly a championship shine has been restored to Montreal.
That's a look back. Now, let's see what the next two months will bring in the NHL:
Michel Therrien has worked wonders in his first season on Montreal's bench. Just wait until he leads the Canadiens back to the Stanley Cup finals.
He just won't win the Cup.
The Chicago Blackhawks couldn't be beat to start the season and they'll be even tougher to get past in the playoffs. Does any team boast three better, healthier players than Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, and Marian Hossa heading into May. The Blackhawks won the Cup in 2010. They'll prove they're no one-year wonder and top Montreal in seven games to bring it back to Chicago.

Mainzeal Property and Construction - one of New Zealand's
largest construction companies - has gone into receivership.
In a statement issued this afternoon, Mainzeal director
Richard Yan said the company could no longer continue trading
due to a "series of events that had adversely affected the
company's financial position", combined with a general
decline in commercial construction activity and lack of
shareholder support.
PwC partners Colin McCloy and David Bridgman have been
appointed as receivers.
Mr McCloy said the receivers were "committed to doing the
best we can for suppliers, staff and subcontractors".
Mainzeal was founded in 1968 and employs more than 400
It is the country's third largest construction company,
behind Fletcher Construction and Hawkins Construction, and
has built some of the country's largest structures, including
Auckland's Vector Arena.

United Tennis Academy
"Train for Life"
Jeff Russell explains how United Tennis Academy has grown so consistently: "Through our own life and professional experiences, we have come to understand that the complete athlete comes only in conjunction with a disciplined mind, body, and spirit. At United we train athletes to be physically strong, fast and to possess sound technique. However, we also strive for them to be proud and confident individuals in life. Because each athlete comes from their own distinct background, and each has a different level of talent, our task is to identify their strengths and weaknesses, both physical and mental, and help them improve. This is the formula which supports their desire to grow and become champions.
Using all of the resources available to us, we develop winners both on and off the court. We pride ourselves on our experience and expertise in dealing with students from all walks of life and levels of ability. This gives us a unique perspective of the needs of each player, and how to guide them in order to reach their full potential. We encourage parental involvement. When parents engage in their child's training in a constructive manner, and in cooperation with the coach, much more is achieved. We especially value our players educators. What happens in the classroom often transfers to the court and vice versa. We work closely with the educators from the various schools our athletes attend to make sure they excel both on the court and in the classroom.
This collaboration between student, coach, parent, and educator is embodied in our name "United" Tennis Academy. We are united with genuine dedication and determination, taking pride in our work, believing we can have a positive impact on the future of our students both on and off the court. Through this philosophy we teach our students to "Train For Life."

We all need to lighten up and laugh about our beloved Habs. Either that or we'll cry
P.K. Subban's been warming up for the All-Stars gala at Just For Laughs.
Not everyone is cheering the IceCaps' move to Laval. There are fears taxpayers will end up losers in the deal.
It's important to remember it takes time to assess any trade and, while the deal might turn out to be beneficial for Subban and the Predators, it figures to make the Canadiens a better team in the coming season.
The Montreal Canadiens have not won a Cup for 23 years, nor have they even made an appearance in the Stanley Cup finals in that period.
Just days after the Montreal Canadiens announced the transfer of their American Hockey League farm team to the future Place Bell in Laval for the 2017-2018 season, opposition city councillors in Laval are questioning whether the new arena is a good deal for local taxpayers.
"We wish P.K. the best and now we'll move forward with Shea Weber," Habs GM Bergevin says of swap of star defencemen.
There are plenty of angry Habs fans out there and they have every reason to be exasperated given the mediocrity of their team over the past two decades.
In a one-on-one interview, the Habs star talks about his charity work, his special relationship with Montrealers and responds to his detractors
"We had to tell them that they would still see P.K. from time to time," said Marie-Josée Gariépy, president of the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation
"We drafted him for a reason and he came and was willing to learn," said Martin Lapointe, the Canadiens' director of player development.
With no disrespect meant toward P.K. Subban, Shaw said Weber will be a wall in front of Carey Price and that brings a cannon of a shot.
Subban-Weber "was a good trade for both teams," says guest coach, who played with Subban in Montreal, and with Weber and Radulov in Nashville
Jake Evans and Marshall Rifai are among 45 prospects attending the Canadiens' development camp this week in Brossard
It was an earth-shattering week in the small, rather hysterical world of the Montreal Canadiens. GM Marc Bergevin traded away the club's most loved and most hated player — which happen to be the same guy, one Pernell Karl Subban. He also added considerable grit in the person of Andrew Shaw, a huge talent in […]
The GM's legacy could end up being the man who didn't want Larry Robinson behind the bench or P.K. Subban on the blue line
The Canadiens' general manager addressed the team's need for scoring and improved the team's backup goalie position by nabbing Al Montoya.
Montreal Canadiens fans reacted with disbelief at the news their star defenceman and adopted son P.K. Subban had been traded for Nashville's Shea Weber.
The P.K. Subban Shea Weber deal is one of the worst deals in the history of the Montreal Canadiens.
The Canadiens always wanted Floyd Patterson — and they got Muhammad Ali.

This is sort of a followup question to an earlier one (resolved).
In brief - i have custom field with values 1-100 for each post. When I try to list posts with highest values like below, posts with value 100 are missing from the list.
So it returns posts with 99..90...50 all down to 20, like I've set here:
But not 100 :/
Also, DESC order doesn't work with this?
Here is the whole code:
$myposts = get_posts('meta_key=CUSTOM_VALUE&meta_compare=>&meta_value=20&orderby=meta_value&ordrer=ASC');
foreach($myposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title();?> <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'CUSTOM_VALUE', true); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>
Thanks in advance if anyone knows the solution.
