Dealing With Found Money, Followup
The other day, I asked readers how they'd handle finding a large sum of money in a wallet with no ID. For background, my wife and I ran into this exact situation about ten years ago… We were living on a shoestring and about to have a baby (in fact, we were past my wife's due date and out walking to get things moving) when we ran across a wallet containing eleven $100 bills and nothing else — no identification, no credit cards, nothing.
Given our situation, I must admit that it was tempting to pocket the money, but… $1100 is a lot of money, and just walking off with it would not only be wrong, but it could also be devastating to the person that lost it.
My wife's first reaction was:
"The mall security office is just inside the door, we have to turn it in."
I was less sure. After all, there's no guarantee that mall security (or the police, for that matter) would do the right thing and hold it for the owner. I wanted to tell them that we found a wallet with a large sum of money in it, give them our contact info, and then hold onto it ourselves in hopes that someone would come along and claim it with a detailed description.
In the end, my wife won out, in large part because we were so close to the security office that we didn't have time to think things through. The security office wrote up a report, complete with our contact info, put it in an envelope, and stashed it in their safe. They also promised that we could have the money if it went unclaimed for 30 days.
As we were walking away from the mall security office, I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach… We had just handed $1100 over to strangers in hopes that they'd do the right thing. Thankfully, just as we left the office and were heading down the corridor, we saw a panic-stricken man rushing in the opposite direction. He hustled into the security office, and we lingered at a distance. A few minutes later, we saw a totally relieved man emerge from the security office. Apparently he had lost the wallet on his way into the mall just a few minutes ahead of us.
So… We did the right thing, but probably not in the smartest way possible. Nonetheless, it worked out for the best. Would I do it again? Yes, but I'd be smarter about it, and not relinquish control of the money in hopes that someone else would do the right thing. As of this writing, the majority of responses to my original post agree that trying to return the money is the right thing to do.
The most annoying thing about all of this was that we never even got so much as a thank you from the rightful owner. It would've been nice to at least receive a few words of appreciation for not simply walking off with over a grand in cash, or leaving it lying there in the parking lot.

I wonder if the person even got your contact info.

My guess is that they just handed it to him and he never got your info anyway.
I'm glad that he managed to get his cash; I bet he spent it on a tv or something.

I missed your first post on this but I'm glad to learn you did the right thing, with your wife's encouragement.
I'm not sure that it would be 'wrong' to hand over the money to mall security or the police; imho you need only to do the right thing (which is turn in the money) not try to determine if others will be as honest as yourself; in general you or I aren't any more trustworthy than the next person.
I myself have lost my purse at least a dozen times in the last 20 years – everywhere from a movie theater bathroom to a grocery cart to flying off the top of my car on the interstate. ALL of them were returned with everything intact; including once when the purse contained nearly $2,000 in cash and another time when nearly 6 years later my wallet was mailed back to me.
There are a lot of good, honest people in the world!

I just want to clarify that I didn't need my wife's encouragement to do the right thing. We both ultimately wanted to see the money get back to the rightful owner. We just differed in our approach. I simply didn't like the idea of handing it over to a perfect stranger and then hoping that they'd do the right thing instead of snagging it for themselves.

I think like you do. I "know" of my intentions.
I don't know the security person's intention.
I would give my name and phone to security and will just tell him that I found a wallet with money. I will not tell how much money. The right owner ought to know it (atleast approximately).
Recently I found a Neno I-pod in a parking lot.
(shopping center)Can anyone tell me how to go about identifying the rightful owner ?
6nickel Says:
September 19th, 2007 at 2:10 pm
Anil: You cold report that you found it to store security and give them your contact info. If anyone responds, you can then ask them about what music they had on it. They should have a pretty good idea of the sorts of things that are on there.

Uprightness (or equivalent) is, really, its own reward. I hear you: it would be NICE to get a thank you, but it should not be the reason for doing something–it should merely be icing on the cake.
You did the right thing; we all should do the right thing.

There was one time when a bank teller made a counting error and gave me $500 extra by mistake. When I caught the mistake, I went back to return the money. It doesn't matter whether you get a reward or not. It is the right thing to do and your personal integrity is worth more than a mere sum of money.

I once found a wallet with 85 bucks and a gold card in it; when the owner picked it up, she didn't check if the money was still in it, which I thought was classy. She later sent me a $50 check, which I cashed–virtue is its own reward, but I was a student at the time. Another time I returned an extra $20 extra from an ATM–the manager was very confused. BTW, I am a lawyer now! Almost all of us are very honest.

i remember in high school my mom found a wallet with $400 bucks in it. No identification, just the money and a western union receipt… in spanish. Thankfully my then 4 months of Spanish II was helpful as I called the number of the sender and told them in spanish no better than "walleto foundo mucho dinero." The man showed up later that day and when my Mom gave the wallet back, he handed her $100. She tried to refuse, but the man insisted. Pretty nice of the guy, although when you think about it, being out $100 is better than $400.

I'm sorrry, but as in the game Monopoly (bank error in your favor – collect $200), if a teller, ATM, or computer messes up at a bank, I'm gonna keep that money – banks are ruthless with their fees of all sorts (most recently invented so they can "find" money in my wallet) and interest rates, and I would just consider it a refund of my own money anyhow.
An individual's money, that's another story…

your attitude reminds me of a story where a man went to complain to the payroll department at his company. He angrily told them "Hey, you shorted my paycheck $100 this week! It's ridiculous that you should make such careless errors! How could you let such a thing happen!"
The payroll clerk checked his records and calmly responded, "Yes, your check was short this week by $100, but only because we overpaid you $100 the previous week. How come you didn't come to complain about the error we made last week?"
The man sheepishly replied "Well, I can overlook one error, but not two….."

Are you kidding me? Keeping the money would have been stealing, so the rightful owner of the money is supposed to THANK you for NOT stealing from them? Give me a break.
16nickel Says:
December 20th, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Jennifer: You can justify their lack of response however you want, but I sure has heck would've thanked whoever took the time to pick it up and turn it in.
17Jennifer Says:
December 20th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Sure, I would have thanked them too, but the owner certainly does not owe them anything, including a thank you. It would have simply been a bonus.

I would have turned it into the police or mall office as well. One thing I find odd is that people are not trusting of the police etc. They are keeping us safe. I lived next door to a police officer for about 10 years and he is the first guy I'd trust. what is wrong with you people?
19mike Says:
December 23rd, 2007 at 2:29 am
1. Turning it into the mall security guy? These guys make 7.50$ an hour, you think they wouldn't keep it if they could?
2. Cops are honest? You obviously live in la la land if you think cops don't keep drugs or money they find in police raids. I have known personally cops who have admitted as much, not to mention the innumerable amount of cases of crooked cops you hear about on the news.
3. Finding money is not illegal, anymore than taking oil from people or diamonds from Africa, by force of military.
4. I bet the guy who walked into the security office just went in to use the bathroom.
I don't think he even got the money. Did you personally talk to him?
5. If he did and didn't even give you a small reward, he wasn't worth giving the money back to. Meaning that he's selfish, because he only thinks of his loss and not your action which has benefitted him. (jenifer above is an idiot)
20gtws Says:
December 23rd, 2007 at 5:50 pm
I'm rather amazed at many of the responses here (especially mike who is apparently the type of person that feels he is owed everything). The point is that doing the right thing is the only thing that matters. Doesn't matter whether this is a bank or an individual or whether we expect a reward. The only thing to do is to turn the money over to the rightful owner and help our fellow citizens out. Anything short of this would be selfish and possibly criminal.
21mike Says:
December 23rd, 2007 at 6:36 pm
I actually don't feel I'm owed anything, other than the truth.
The question is actually ethical and has more to do with total responsibility of your actions.
If I lost 1000$ by my own careless keeping of it in the woods, then whichever hiker happened upon it and kept it would be theirs by right. I would absolutely accept that it was through my own blunder and lack of caring that I lost it. I wouldn't like it, but it would be the truth.
If I took it out of another man's pocket by force, that would be different, and wrong. Part of life is chance, and accept it or not, it is reality.
2. If you turned it in with the demand that the finder of the money prove that it was theirs and contact you, then that is ok, based on your acceptance of the responsibility of the situation. Short of that ,and you simply live in a naive world. Peace in the Middle East.

Giving the money back was the only right thing to do. I remember once, while visiting the former USSR, dollars were not permitted. You had to convert your dollars when entering the country and upon leaving convert your rubles back into dollars. When leaving the country (through a security that was astonishing at the time – early 70s) I converted my rubles and realized that the Russian woman handling the transaction miscounted and gave me back way too much. I pointed out the mistake to her and the expression of gratitude and relief were so evident on her face that no translation was necessary. To this day, I still remember her look. Being the old USSR, I could only imagine what would have happened to her at the end of the day.
23Eldon Says:
December 29th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
For mike: I do not live in la la land. I know that what you give out comes back to you an hundred fold. when you do right you are creating value in this world. those "durty cops" give the good ones a black eye. people can give "black eyes" by thier actions toward humananity. what are you giving? I bet you have had a black eye or two as well. just remember: those who give, also will get it in the end! I'll say sorry for every person who done you wrong. Value is not always money, it is the type of person you are, what you do and your attude!

living in Europe let me think that 1000$ is almost nothing (I just paid 600 euros of gas bill), here you can barely survive for less than a month with that sum , but I was thinking , if instead of 1000$ in a wallet you find a bag with 1.000.000$ ?
And if you give to police and someone claim it you ask for a tip or something ,or you stay happy with your debts while the other guy is enjoing the money ?

I am facing this same thing! I am moving this coming weekend, down to the pennies and I found a wallet in a parking lot yesterday stuffed with money!!! My daughter and I went in the store and I contacted only the store manager, we counted the money together, there was close to 600 dollars and notheing else, no id or anything! I did not sleep to well last night wondering about it and this morning I called the police so they would do a report on it! did I do it the wrong way? I really hope to hear that the owner clamed their money, but how will I know if they really did or that the store manager took the money? wow this is a trip!

I recently lost my wallet with all my information in it.. it was foolish of me to leave my SS card in there.. but I also had about $430 in it since I was about to head to the bank to put the money safely into my account. however, I did call to cancel all my cards and signed up for identiy theft protection. I just wish that there is a person kind enough to return my wallet in one piece. I can deal without the money, however returning the wallet with the money is a plus and I would most likely give a reward!

Giving it to the rightful owner is the proper thing to do….but do it so the rightful owner gets it….leave your name etc with security and play 20 questions when the owner calls…..I found a very expensive cell phone in a taxi I got into at the Pentagon….I looked at the driver and thought about one second and brought in home…tried getting numbers off cell…had security, so called the carrier number inside the battery area and in 10 minutes I recd "orders" to deliver the phone to etc. It turned out to be owned by the Chief of Intelligence for Naval operations for the North Atlantic….didn't even get a thank you…I can imagine the taxi driver and who he would have sold it to.

Let's get the fact straight. You are living in LA LA Land! I agree with Mike. Cops are crocks. Once they get a taste of what it's like to be in charge, sometime they'd go off the line. There are plenty of them around. Maybe you got the hots for that cop living next door to you.
About the lost money, I'd say, "Finders Keeper". If it's lost, then it's mine period. I'd return the wallet, but I'd take the money. It's my reward for finding it. If you want to be goody goody, then go ahead! Life is hard enough with money. If I give it back, I'd still feel lousy cause I could use the money. A lot of time, the reward is small. I'd say, Take it and run off! Buy your wife a dozen of roses and make your day grand! Eldon, remember, you are living in LA LA Land! It's time to smell the shi* and face the reality!

Anil Dalal… About that i-pod you found. Usually they have a serial number on the back. If you contact Apple, and the person registered their i-pod, you should be able to get it back to him or her easily. Good luck!
And Sean, Mike, and Eldon… You're probably all partially correct. I don't believe that all cops are "crocks" but it's easy to assume that with all that power they would be tempted. I'm sure there are some "good" cops and some not so good cops… although I really doubt that any of them are outright evil (or outright Saints for that matter). I do however agree with Eldon the most… it doesn't so much matter what they do as it matters what you do… Doing the right thing is making a worthwhile investment in the world… It's easy to think that there are no good people in the world, but if someone does the right thing and you witness it, it's hard to deny it… Ever heard that Gandhi quote "Be the change you wish to see in the world"?

Capula's Systemic Trading Head Dai Is Said to Leave Fund
Qiang Dai, who oversees systematic investing at London-based Capula Investment Management LLP, plans to leave the $13 billion hedge fund to pursue personal interests, according to a person brief on his decision.
Dai, 45, is leaving after serving as a partner at Capula for more than six years, said the person, who declined to be identified because the company is private. About 1 percent of Capula's assets are invested in systematic trading, which typically use computers to find profitable patterns within financial data.
Capula, founded in 2005 by Yan Huo, raised more than $4 billion from investors last year. Its flagship Global Relative Value Fund Ltd. primarily trades government bonds and currencies and gained 6.2 percent last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Relative value investing typically involves spotting situations in which two securities trade outside their normal range and wagering that the discrepancy will fade over time.
Dai joined Capula in 2005 as head of market research and risk before becoming the hedge fund's chief risk offer in 2009, according to his LinkedIn page. In December 2010, Capula appointed him head of systematic trading.
Dai didn't return a phone call seeking comment. Jonathan Gasthalter, a Capula spokesman, declined to comment.
He received a Ph.D. in finance and another in physics from Stanford University near Palo Alto, California, according to the LinkedIn page. He taught finance at New York University's Stern School of Business and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before joining Capula, the LinkedIn page says.

Ravens win emotional Super Bowl against 49ers
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - The Baltimore Ravens reclaimed the greatest prize in North American sports after a dramatic, nail-biting 34-31 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

If I write (1 3 4 6)(2 3 4)(4 6 1) as a product of disjoint cycles, I get (164)(23), is it true that order of (1 3 4 6)(2 3 4)(4 6 1) is lcm(2,3)=6 (just the order of its disjoint cycles)?
Yes, it's true that the order of a product of disjoint cycles is the least common multiple of the orders of the disjoint cycles in the product.
Let $\pi \in S$ be a permutation; then write $\pi = S_1 \cdots S_k$ where $S_1, \ldots, S_k \in S$ are disjoint cycles. Define $n_i = \#S_i$ for $i \in \{1,\ldots,k\}$. Now $\pi^{n_i}$ fixes the elements of $S_i$. So the smallest number which fixes all elements of $\pi$ is $\#\pi = \mathcal{lcm} \{n_1,\ldots,n_k\}$.

How many people are killed with rifles?
Maybe rifles look scary, but rifles aren't responsible for the majority of murders in this country.
In 2005, there were 16,692 people murdered in the United States. The number of murders committed with a rifle that year: 445 (2.7 percent of all murders). The number of people killed with hammers and clubs in 2005: 605.
In 2006, the total number of murders jumped up to 17,030, 438 were killed with a rifle and 618 were killed with a hammer or club.
In 2011, 14,612 were murdered. This time, 323 with a rifle and 496 people were killed with a hammer or club. Sounds like Congress needs to work on hammer and club control.
One other interesting footnote: almost twice as many people are killed by hands or fists every year when compared to rifles.
Most gun control debates centers around these "assault rifles." Clearly, banning them would not have a significant impact on murder rates.
But, then again, that's not really the point of gun control debates is it?

Hey Lester, first, thanks a lot for your great work!
Since a few days i have some performance issues on bbpress-topic-pages with more than 3-4 replies. By debugging my queries i found the following:
Topic with 7 replies:
wp_postmeta SET
meta_value = '307' WHERE
post_id = 82092 AND
meta_key = 'views' (396.3ms)
Topic with 19 replies:
wp_postmeta SET
meta_value = '90' WHERE
post_id = 82967 AND
meta_key = 'views' (1,525.6ms)
On normal posts the postmeta-updates just needs 1-2ms. So is there an possibility to disable postviews completely on bbpress-pages. I just need the counts on normal posts.

We are using this for a lot of our websites to generate Facebook posts. The Google+ option even works which has been one of our biggest challenges.
My compliments to everyone at Nextscripts for their incredibly support also. When I have had questions they respond the same day with helpful answers and that is worth every penny in a world where it is difficult to find good service!
Thanks Nextscripts Team.

Car rear-ended at Montpelier roundabout
MONTPELIER A female driver was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning after her car was rear-ended by another vehicle, which fled the scene, at the U.S. Route 2 roundabout, city police said.
The woman, Susan Shontelle-Smith, of East Montpelier, was driving a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta to work around 6:20 a.m. when a vehicle crashed into her rear bumper and then fled, police said. She was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center after reporting back pain, police said. A nursing supervisor at the hospital later said she was treated and released.
The other vehicle is believed to be a two-tone or dark station wagon, police said. The male driver fled in the direction of Barre and Berlin, police said.
According to police, the woman was yielding to traffic in the roundabout at the time of the crash.

Beast Archer Legendary Unit – I guess you would call it an orge or cyclops
It's the Cyclops from KB: Legends.
Its cyclop
Yeah, it's my favorite archer unit in the KB world. The Cyclops! Let there be slaps!
Any new creature it's ok , as long as without paying, but win it.
Homm got cyclops as a shooting unit, so maybe it should be a Troll or an Ogre
Originally posted by NinjaStylez:Homm got cyclops as a shooting unit, so maybe it should be a Troll or an Ogre
Nope. Its a Cyclops from King's Bounty: Legends/Armored Princess/Crossworld.
Unless they decide to turn it into something else.
A beast unit for sure. I wonder if it is a archer or warrior.
Beast archer proly :) tossing rocks onto enemies :)
Probably. Just like cyclop in King's Bount: Legend.
I doubt it a good choice for a top team for a top player.
This topic already exists for 1 month. Still the new creature doesn't appear.
Cyclops for sure.
SOURCE: "Cyclops Screenshot:"
In fact this unit is introduced first before KB:Armored Princess in KB: The Legend ;)
The bits I find most interesting is the "No melee penalty" but initiative 1. Decent attack but still at the mercy of fast legendaries like Champ, Druid, AM and Demo
The units in KB Legions with the units of KB The Legend , Armored Princess and Crossworlds have very little similarities. Don't confuse them. For example the devilfish are a lvl 1 unit (of the 5) something like peasants and cave spiders. Black and white unicorns are the same level, forest rangers are called werewolf elves and can transform to wolves, archmages are not that good, rangers are a lvl 4 unit. And in those series you can have 5 lvl5 units in your slots. Same graphics – totally different games.

Soothe ragged nerves with this Arduino-based synthesized sound system.
It's 3 a.m., and you can't sleep. You toss and turn as the neighbor's cat serenades a mouse. The drip in your bathroom faucet has become a steady drumbeat louder than a bazooka. Punch-drunk from exhaustion, you arrive at work only to have your ears assaulted by a deafening crescendo of office chatter.
Howling cats, leaky faucets, and workmates with voices stuck on 11 are inescapable facts of life. But you just might cope, thanks to the Smooth Moods Machine, a compact and self-contained music generator built around an Arduino. Programming in the Arduino produces nine types of relaxing sound and music effects, including wind chimes, surf, and a floating cascade of musical chords that seem to carry you into the clouds.
I'll show you how to build your own Smooth Moods Machine and easily change the music program by pressing a button on a TV remote control. You can listen with headphones, or connect a pair of amplified speakers to fill the room with calming sound.
The basic Smooth Moods Machine is an Arduino Uno, MIDI Musical Instrument Shield from SparkFun, infrared remote control module, and a couple of wires. Construction takes about 15 minutes, and most of that is in soldering a set of 4 headers to the MIDI shield. An enhanced version uses a homemade interface board that allows you to connect the MIDI shield to most any external sound amplifier.
Let's begin with a short description of what Smooth Moods is, and how it works. At its heart is a tiny MIDI synthesizer, in the form of a surface-mount IC. This chip is conveniently soldered to a shield, making it easy to connect the synthesizer to the Arduino. The Arduino serves as a MIDI controller, the part that literally controls the synthesizer, telling it what to do
You may already be familiar with the concept of MIDI, but here are the essentials: MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, a standard method of producing electronic music. Rather than recording actual sounds, MIDI songs are stored as data, akin to the paper rolls of a player piano. When reproducing music, a MIDI synthesizer mimics different instruments — a grand piano here, an electric guitar there.
Your PC or Mac has a MIDI synthesizer built into its operating system. Click on a .mid file, and the song plays through your computer's sound circuits.
Smooth Moods works about the same way, except it uses just an Arduino Uno and the synthesizer shield. And instead of playing back a song contained in a file, Smooth Moods generates its own MIDI data on the fly. Instruments and notes are combined at random to give an ethereal quality to the music. Make that music* — with an asterisk. Smooth Moods doesn't play tunes, though it does produce random sequences of chimes, chords, and other sounds that can be considered musical.
The Smooth Moods Machine creates over a half-dozen music-like sound effects. You select the music style using a universal infrared remote control. See the table "Smooth Moods Music Modes" for a full list of the pre-programmed music and sounds.
To change music programs just press a button on the remote control. Press button 0 (zero) to mute and unmute the sound.
All programs are automatically turned off after a 30-minute period. To play again just press a button on the remote. (You can modify the Smooth Moods sketch if you want to extend or shorten the auto-shutoff delay.)
You don't have to understand the technical aspects of MIDI to make and use the Smooth Moods Machine, so feel free to skip this part if you'd like. Otherwise, here it is in a nutshell:
MIDI data is composed of messages, which are nothing more than a sequence of 2 or 3 bytes sent over an asynchronous serial interface. Messages specify such things as the instrument to play, the note (or notes), and their volume.
As with most MIDI synthesizers, the SparkFun MIDI Musical Instrument Shield supports the General MIDI 1 (GM1) set of melodic instruments. In documentation on MIDI, the instruments are numbered 1 to 128; when programming MIDI it's more common to refer to instruments starting at 0. Instrument 0 in the GM1 set is an acoustic grand piano; instrument 1 is a bright acoustic piano, 2 is an electric grand piano, and so on. A second set, or bank, provides various non-melodic percussion instruments.
MIDI supports up to 16 instrument channels; you can program a different instrument on each channel. See the diagram for the basic concept. You can vary the volume for each channel, plus the volume of each separate note you play through a channel. The multi-channel feature allows you to "layer" sounds, one on top of the other. The technique is used in Smooth Moods, for example, to create unique chime effects, where multiple tubular bells strike at different volume levels. This helps the chimes sound more realistic.
MIDI makes it fairly easy to play notes. Each note is simply a number, and corresponds to the white and black keys on a piano. To play a middle C, the synthesizer is sent a message that specifies the note has a pitch of 60. To play a concert A (the A above middle C), the message specifies a pitch of 69. Because notes are just whole integers, it's possible to easily create all types of chords just by using simple math.
For instance, a C major triad starting at middle C is the notes 60, 64, and 67. Keep in mind that in MIDI, the black keys are counted, too. So instead of thirds and fifths to specify the notes of a major chord, it's root, root+4, and root+7.
For more details on how MIDI is programmed in Smooth Moods, check out the MIDI entry on Wikipedia, which contains extensive background on MIDI and the electronics used to create it.

Secretary-General's Message on World Tuberculosis Day
New York, 24 March 2010As we approach the target year of 2015 for reaching the Millennium Development Goals, there is good news to report in the fight against tuberculosis (TB). The world is on track to reverse the spread of this airborne killer. Deaths from TB continue to decline. These gains owe much to the many health care providers -- governmental and non-governmental -- patient advocates and others who have helped to treat and cure 36 million people since 1995. As a result, about 6 million lives have been saved. Our challenge now is to maintain this momentum.
The theme of this year's observance of World TB Day is "On the move against tuberculosis". The international community is indeed on the move on several fronts. Affected communities now know more about TB, thanks to public awareness campaigns. Financing for TB control continues to grow through mechanisms such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. UNITAID is supporting the provision of urgently needed medicines and diagnostics. WHO is providing policy innovation and coordinating technical support as the disease continues to evolve. The UNAIDS campaign, "No More People Living with HIV Dying of TB", is promoting greater awareness of these interlinked epidemics. The research community has created pipelines of new diagnostics, medicines, and potential vaccines moving forward after decades of neglect.
But progress should never distract us from the challenges. The numbers are still staggering. Last year, TB claimed 1.8 million lives, making it the second biggest infectious killer of adults worldwide. TB ranks among the top three killers of women of reproductive age. Rates of new TB illness are falling in all regions, but not yet in all countries. Overall, rates of decline are far slower than needed. Lapses in control drive the rise of multidrug-resistant TB, which is far more costly and difficult to treat, and remind us of the constant risk of setbacks.
The international community has set a goal of universal access to prevention and treatment for all forms of TB, in adults and children, and among people living with HIV. In this day and age, no one should be dying from TB. On this World TB Day, let us stay "on the move" in this important fight.

I installed it I was excited about all the great features, then I enter my site to see how it looks: ERROR. Reloaded it several times, then I entered toother pages of my site and it seemed to work fine. Noticed the CSS Editor and thought it was the reason for it, and as a lazy person I don't feel like using it, especially since I was fine with the older design and I didn't see any choices (and I'm stupid) so I uninstalled the whole plugin. Nice job with the other features, though.
Notice that I'm a rookie so I'm probably wrong.


text: I have used SEO Ultimate to remove URL bases of the tags. Every time I publish a post, I have to go to the Miscellaneous settings of SEO Ultimate and click Save settings. Otherwise, the tags won't work and just show a 404 page if I try to access the tag. I wonder if it's because of the cache plugin I am using? I was using W3 Total Cache earlier and now WP Super Cache, but the problem's still there.

Medicare Agents.—
The Social Security Administration may announce this month the companies and groups that will act as fiscal intermediaries for the government in operating the medicare program.Social security officials in November set forth the standards that insurance carriers and other agents must meet to qualify as intermediaries.There were no indications which companies will be chosen by the government. However, Blue Cross is expected to serve a major function under the hospital benefits program. Blue Shield and commercial carriers probably will play a big part in handling the supplementary medical benefit plan on a regional basis.The qualifications for the basic hospital plan were: proper nomination by providers of services; ability to meet financial solvency requirements of the states; resources and capacity to administer efficiently; capacity to serve a substantial number of hospitals, nursing homes, and so forth; ongoing professional and institutional relationships; record of integrity and satisfactory

My husband and I were travelling to Silver Spring to visit our son and daughter-in-law. The hotels we usually stay were booked, so we found the B&B at Lansdowne Way. It was very close to our son's home but we were unsure about staying at a B&B. We need not have worried. It was a wonderful experience. Christina was a lovely hostess. The room was comfortable, breakfasts were delicious and elegantly served. We felt quite at home, able to come and go as we pleased. We are looking forward to staying there again soon. - Claudia & Joe Moll.

We spent 4 nights in this very comfortable and convenient B&B. The location is perfect: a pleasant neighborhood with just a short walk to the Forrest Glen Metro stop and quick ride into the District. The home is lovely: tastefully decorated (no kitsch of any kind) and thoughtfully appointed with everything a guest might wish for (or have left at home). Christine is very welcoming and accommodating, and Trouble (the cat) is no trouble at all - he checked us out, apparently approved our presence and paid little attention to us subsequently. Breakfasts were excellent: nutritious and filling, excellent for starting a day of museum-walking, without leaving us feeling at all stuffed. Highly recommend this B&B.

This B & B is located in a quaint & quiet residential area, where you waken to birdsong. It is just minutes away from the beltway and a short walk from the Metro, offering easy access to the greater DC area. The rooms are clean, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Christina Blanchard, the proprietor, extends herself to address specific guest questions and prepares fabulous breakfasts. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would happily return!

I have made Lansdowne Way my regular stay when in DC. Convenient to the metro line and located away from the urban pulse in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood. Christina fixes a great spread and is a generous and helpful host. No reason to go anywhere else.

This bed and breakfast was wonderful and Christina was most gracious, helpful, and warm. She showed me how easy it would be to catch a bus (when it rained) and to have a lovely and easy walk to and from my meetings all week in downtown Silver Spring. She also sent me detailed directions on taking the Metro from the airport which saved me at least $70 each way if I had taken a cab. I also saved considerable money staying here instead of one of the hotels downtown. I must add that the bed was exceptionally comfortable, the towels were plush, the decor was unique and beautiful, and the breakfast the included fresh fruit from Christina's garden was a wonderful way to start each day. I also found it meaningful that Christina works for a non-profit that serves the needs of orphans in Africa. I would most definitely stay here again and I highly recommend this B & B.

My wife and I had the opportunity to stay at this wonderful bed and breakfast. We spent 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our room was fantastic. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was prompt and delicious. Christina was very warm and accommodating. Christina is a very nice person. My wife and I enjoyed her two cats. The cats were adorable. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. The walk to the Metro is about eight minutes and it is a very safe walk. You do not have to cross any major intersections. There is a pedestrian bridge that takes you directly to the Metro. We did not rent a car so we used the Metro on a daily basis. It took twenty minutes to get into central DC. Do not rent a car. The Metro is extremely efficient and cost effective. You can not stay at any quality hotel in DC that includes breakfast for what you will pay at Christina's place. It is a great place and we would stay there again.

The perfect base for two nights in March for two ladies to visit Wshington. The room was the entire upper floor with a very comfortable King mattress . The bathroom featured a deep tub and a nice variety of toiletry items. The tapestry and carpet decorations were from India and Africa. Christina was very accomodating of special diet requirements and helpful with directions in getting around the city. I recommend this Bed and Breakfast.

I was in Silver Spring for business/training just before Christmas and was so happy to reserve the Africa Room with private bath at Christina's sweet B&B. From the time of my arrival, Christina was a gracious and accommodating hostess, making me feel welcome and comfortable right away. Christina has carefully and comfortably decorated her home in the same way that she carefully selects (or grows) and prepares her delicious, satisfying meals. I was not interested in sightseeing or shopping while in Silver Spring and found that I could safely walk in the neighborhood, enjoying the many different architectural home styles and landscaping designs and return to a fresh and peaceful home away from home to relax and enjoy pleasant conversation with Christina as well as quiet time that I greatly appreciate and enjoy. Christina prepared my dinners during my stay and every meal was a delightful surprise. I certainly would highly recommend Christina's charming B&B to others and would be very happy if I had the opportunity to return for another stay. I found a kindred spirit in Christina and admire her quiet ability to make her guests feel like friends. Thank you Christina!

For those who are tired of staying at anonymous, sterile chain hotels a visit to Lansdowne is a breath of fresh air. Christine is a most attentive and hospitable hostess: she treats visitors as her cherished guests. A welcome fire in the hearth, soft music in the background, today's Washington Post on the coffee table; all this plus the fragrance of coffee in the morning to accompany a delicious breakfast. Five star hotels attempt to provide such levels of hospitality. Christine accomplishes their objective! Barry Hyatt, CTC

The Lansdowne Way B&B was our first experience with a B&B. We have always gone the hotel route, but decided to try a B&B on our trip to the College Park/DC area. Christina was a perfect hostess, beginning with the initial contact and throughout our stay. The room and house are beautifully furnished with their owner's personal touch and the soft bed and pillows were like a home away from home. The breakfasts were delicious and we felt that we were always eating nutritiously! Christina was very helpful with maps and suggestions on navigating the area both in a car or on the metro, which has a stop conveniently located nearby. This charming home is on a quiet, shady street and includes a porch swing and a yard filled with plants and flowers (which Christina brings in to decorate her table). We felt very secure coming and going even on the evenings that we came in later. I would definitely recommend this B&B if you are in the area for business or vacation during any season. Christina will certainly make you welcome!

The "Rocket into Scouting" program is designed to take our Council's recruiting efforts to new heights. With a focus on fun, this program invites families to experience the adventures that only Scouting can offer. The program leverages an activity that kids love (building and launching rockets) while showing parents that Scouting will foster their child's creativity, initiative, and sense of wonder.
This year our annual fall recruiting campaign will be broken into two parts:
1. The traditional Cub Scout Pack Sign-Up Nights which will be concentrated into a 1-week period:
2. A "Rocket Launch" Area Recruitment Event which will be held at various outdoor locations throughout the council near your Pack's meeting location on:
At either the traditional "Pack Sign-up Night", or the area "Rocket Launch" Area Recruitment Event, new Cubs will make a simple "soda-bottle" rocket which they will launch at their Area Rocket Launch.
CLICK on the Read more: link, below, for more information on this exciting new fall recruiting event.
This weekend of fun and adventure is open to all WEBELOS SCOUTS, their parent(s)/guardian(s), and WEBELOS Den Leaders / Den Chiefs. New Scouts (4th and 5th graders) are encouraged to attend.
The weekend will include CAMPING - bring a tent, and COOKING - bring food to cook; plus Saturday night CAMP FIRE with skits and songs, and Sunday morning SCOUT'S OWN SERVICE.
Webelos Scouts may earn up to three STEM related Webelos Adventure Pins and be introduced to the BSA NOVA & Supernova awards.
AUGUST 25th - AUGUST 28th, 2016

Tomorrow's USDA report is the wild card of all wild cards. There is an extremely delicate balance between supply and demand in both the corn and soybean markets. The demand side of the balance sheet will be more interesting to us, as we believe that this year's epic production (supply) disaster is a "known" in the market. As of right now, today is the best day in the history of the corn market to do some marketing for fall delivery.

Hey all,
I have a question regarding the MD-80 and the winglets. These days it seems to be very popular to retrofit winglets on older airplanes. I was in CPH yesterday where there are a very big amount of MD-80. Of cause SAS still has alot of them but also other airliner is still using them.
So will the MD-80 ever gonna be retrofitted with winglets? If not then why?
I know they are pretty old but they are still a huge amount of MD.80 in use world wide.
Hope to hear from you
Best regards Emin

Truncus arteriosus is a type of heart defect in which a baby is born with one large blood vessel—normally there are two—that receives blood from both the heart's ventricles. This single blood vessel mixes oxygen-rich blood with oxygen-poor blood. Oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-poor blood normally remain in two separate blood vessels in the heart.
Babies who are born with this defect may die of heart failure unless they have treatment soon after birth. Surgery divides the single large blood vessel into two separate blood vessels so that blood can circulate properly.

Ousted Agriculture Department Employee Shirley Sherrod Declines New Job Offer
After a meeting with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack this morning, Shirley Sherrod said she has decided not to accept a new job with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"The secretary did push really, really hard for me to stay and work from the inside," she told reporters. "I think I can be helpful to him and the department if I just take a little break and look at how I can be more helpful in the future."
Vilsack said he gave her a choice of several positions, including a job in the Department of Agriculture's Office of Advocacy and Outreach, which mainly works on civil rights issues. Sherrod said she was tempted by the offer, but the timing wasn't right.
"I've had lots of support from around the country," she said. "I've had many, many, many thousands of pieces of mail."
I need a little time to be able to deal with that, to sort of take a break from some of all that I've had to deal with over the last few weeks. And I look forward to some type of relationship with the Department in the future. We do need to work on the issues of discrimination and racism in this country, and I certainly would like to play my role in trying to help deal with it.
At a news conference this morning, Vilsack appeared contrite.
"I know that I disappointed the president," he said. "I disappointed this administration. I disappointed the country. And I disappointed Shirley. And I have to live with that."
Sherrod was asked if she still intends to sue conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who posted an edited, misleading video of her on one of his websites, catalyzing the controversy.
"I do think a suit will be forthcoming," she said. "But I don't want to discuss it at this time."

U.S. Corporate Credit Swaps Fall as Lawmakers Plan Obama Meeting
A gauge of U.S. corporate credit risk fell for the first time in four sessions on optimism that a budget deal may be reached as Congress leaders plan to meet with President Barack Obama tomorrow.
The Markit CDX North American Investment Grade Index, a credit-default swaps benchmark that investors use to hedge against losses or to speculate on creditworthiness, dropped 0.3 basis point to a mid-price of 94.8 basis points as of 4:58 p.m. in New York, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.
The index earlier in the day climbed as high as 97.5 basis points as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said a resolution before Jan. 1 to the so-called fiscal cliff appears unlikely.
Democratic and Republican leaders of the U.S. House and Senate plan to meet with President Obama tomorrow as a year-end budget deadline approaches, Senator Dick Durbin said today. The U.S. House will convene the evening of Dec. 30 as lawmakers seek to resolve a budget impasse, Majority Leader Eric Cantor said today in a message posted on Twitter.
"The question is whether this is political posturing or whether they're actually going to get something done" at the evening session, Marc Pinto, head of corporate bond strategy at Susquehanna International Group LLP, said in a telephone interview from New York. "This is just one more part of what has been a dramatic roller coaster ride," he said.
"Volatility will remain a mainstay until Congress 'Comes Together'," Pinto added by e-mail.
Junk Debt
The credit-swaps index typically falls as investor confidence improves and rises as it deteriorates. The contracts pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
The average relative yield on junk-rated debt advanced 1 basis point to 5.14 percentage points today, led by spreads on the bonds of communications companies, which gained 5 basis points to 5.09 percentage points, Bloomberg data show. High-yield, high-risk debt is rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service and lower than BBB- at Standard & Poor's.
The risk premium on the Markit CDX North American High Yield Index rose 3.1 basis points to 487.7 basis points, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.

- Hemorrhoids Slideshow Pictures
- Take the Hemorrhoids Quiz!
- Constipation Myths and Facts Slideshow
- Patient Comments: Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy -- Procedure
- Find a local Surgeon in your town
Quick GuideHow to Get Rid of Hemorrhoids, Causes and Treatment
What are hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are defined as an abnormally enlarged vein, mainly due to persistent increase in venous pressure, occurring within or just outside the anal sphincter of the rectum. The anal canal is the last four centimeters through which stool passes as it goes from the rectum to the outside world. The anus is the opening of the anal canal to the outside world.
Although most people think hemorrhoids are abnormal, they are present in everyone. It is only when the hemorrhoidal cushions enlarge that hemorrhoids can cause problems and be considered abnormal or a disease.
Prevalence of hemorrhoids
Although hemorrhoids occur in everyone, they become large and cause problems in only 4% of the general population. Hemorrhoids that cause problems are found equally in men and women, and their prevalence peaks between 45 and 65 years of age.
What is stapled hemorrhoidectomy?
Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is surgical technique for treating hemorrhoids, and is the treatment of choice for third-degree hemorrhoids (hemorrhoids that protrude with straining and can be seen on physical exam outside the anal verge. Persistent or intermittent manual reduction is necessary). Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is a misnomer since the surgery does not remove the hemorrhoids but, rather, the abnormally lax and expanded hemorrhoidal supporting tissue that has allowed the hemorrhoids to prolapse downward.
For stapled hemorrhoidectomy, a circular, hollow tube is inserted into the anal canal. Through this tube, a suture (a long thread) is placed, actually woven, circumferentially within the anal canal above the internal hemorrhoids. The ends of the suture are brought out of the anus through the hollow tube. The stapler (a disposable instrument with a circular stapling device at the end) is placed through the first hollow tube and the ends of the suture are pulled. Pulling the suture pulls the expanded hemorrhoidal supporting tissue into the jaws of the stapler. The hemorrhoidal cushions are pulled back up into their normal position within the anal canal. The stapler then is fired. When it fires, the stapler cuts off the circumferential ring of expanded hemorrhoidal tissue trapped within the stapler and at the same time staples together the upper and lower edges of the cut tissue.
Who is a good candidate for stapled hemorrhoidectomy?
Stapled hemorrhoidectomy, although it can be used to treat second degree hemorrhoids (hemorrhoids that extend outside the anus after a bowel movement or straining, but return inside by themselves), usually is reserved for higher grades of hemorrhoids - third and fourth degree. Third degree hemorrhoids can be pushed back into the anus with a finger after a bowel movement. Fourth degree hemorrhoids are always outside. If in addition to internal hemorrhoids there are small external hemorrhoids that are causing a problem, the external hemorrhoids may become less problematic after the stapled hemorrhoidectomy. Another alternative is to do a stapled hemorrhoidectomy and a simple excision of the external hemorrhoids. If the external hemorrhoids are large, a standard surgical hemorrhoidectomy may need to be done to remove both the internal and external hemorrhoids.

The 1.44Meg floppy won't mount in my Nautilus file browser. When I try to mount it, it says there is no media in the drive. Yet, I can write to the floppy through the terminal using the 'cp' command. I can enter the command:
mount -t ext2 /floppy and it mounts. I have also run a check and the disk itself is 100% clean.
So, why can't I get the nautilus browser to open up the floppy? Is there a way to see the actual floppy from the terminal?
EDIT: So that everyone can satisfy their curiousity - I am trying to boot from a floppy. My own bootstrap and image.
so it mounts and you can view the file contents in the terminal, right? and after it's mounted you can navigate there in nautilus? or you can't find the mountpoint? i'm not sure what you're asking.
I was trying:
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy
what I realized is that I had the
/floppy directory not under /media. So I moved the directory to /media/floppy. Once I mounted it the correct way, I got a floppy icon in my nautilus browser where I could see the contents. So, why is there an actual floppy drive icon if I can't click on it and see the floppy contents?
