Presentation of the 2013 West Virginia Economic Outlook recently in Charleston included several points worthy of serious discussion.
But one thing was clear: Despite taking punch after punch in 2012, the state continues to make important strides toward recovering from the national economic recession.
In fact, the outlook found that by January of this year, West Virginia had come back to within 400 jobs of its pre-recession employment level. Mining employment may have plummeted, with the value of the state's mining output expected to fall through 2017, but other sectors are picking up some of the slack.
Construction, health care, retail, and leisure and hospitality are all expected to make significant contributions to the state's economy in the coming year.
Though blows from Mother Nature - the June 29 derecho and the recent storm Sandy - will end up costing West Virginia approximately $370 million, according to regulatory filings and government estimates, the community spirit of many hard-hit areas helped overcome part of the damage.
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Jeffrey Lacker was among the speakers at the conference. But in offering a more national perspective on the outlook for our economy, he provided some sobering reminders.
"Until a fiscal plan is adopted that is sustainable over the longer run, consumers and businesses will make decisions under a cloud of uncertainty," he said.
Lacker also said that unless President Barack Obama can come to an agreement with Congress that avoids the "fiscal cliff," the U.S. economy will shrink for one or two quarters of the coming year.
West Virginia's business leaders, politicians, labor unions and workers know they have been doing a whole lot right in 2012. In many cases, they have stayed a step ahead of national economic indicators. The coming year will surely bring new challenges, in addition to those familiar to this state for generations, that will require the same mix of common sense and innovation - and, if we are to move forward, overcoming some of the barriers to growth that have hampered our state for decades.

I'm sure this is a common one - so I apologise if I'm pissing in an ocean of piss here, but I haven't been able to find a solution.
I've got a load of MKV files with subtitles as part of them (not external sub files). However, My PS3 won't pick them up. My Samsung TV seems to like picking them up through AnyShare though, so if I can't get the PS3 to do it at least I have an option!
Anyway, here's the contents of my c:\programdata\pms\pms.conf (this is the one that seems to get modified any time I make a change)
- Code: Select all
thumbnails = true
image_thumbnails = true
folders = C:\\Users\\ftr\\Downloads,M:\\
alternativeffmpegpath = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PS3 Media Server\\win32\\dvrms\\ffmpeg_MPGMUX.exe
mencoder_ass = true
mencoder_fontconfig = true
mencoder_ass_defaultstyle = true
uuid = 0a4ba2a2-cf73-32dc-9c9f-992f2649fc43
mencoder_audiolangs = jpn,eng,fre,ger,und
mencoder_audiosublangs = en,off
And here's the contents of my c:\program files(x86)\ps3 media server\pms.conf (this one doesn't seem to get edited at all...)
- Code: Select all
thumbnails = true
folders = C:\\Users\\ftr\\Pictures\\Wallpapers,M:\\,C:\\Users\\ftr\\Downloads
alternativeffmpegpath = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PS3 Media Server\\win32\\dvrms\\ffmpeg_MPGMUX.exe
mencoder_ass = true
mencoder_audiolangs = jpn,eng,fre,ger,und
Can anyone give me a clue? I should note that on the files I've been testing with, 3 subtitle languages have come up on my Samsung TV: "None", "English 1" and "English 2". Only English 2 seems to display anything.
My PS3 responds with "no subtitle options are available" or words to that effect.

text: On Sunday night, Ann Coulter appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News show and while speaking about conservative African Americans, Coulter said, "Our blacks are so much better than their blacks." Naturally, Coulter's remarks didn't sit well with many. But when she was challenged by Joy Behar tonight, Coulter wasn't about to apologize: "Ours are more impressive, there is no question about that," she said, before adding that "the only racism you hear in America these days is against conservative blacks." A clip of the interview is above.

Average Rating: 4.1 in 8 reviews
I look for games with really original ideas, but usually just find a familiar plot with a change of illustrations. This game is great because it is totally unlike anything I've seen before. It's one of very few games that made me say, 'Wow, that's clever.' Don't be put off by the fact that play is rather short. Think of it as an aperitif rather than a main dish.
Short games deserve their own special place in a gamer's closet. After all, we don't always have time for a 90 minute Elfenland, or even a 45 minute Carcassonne. So games that play in 20 minutes or less are a special breed: very light, uncomplicated games with not too much brainwork. And sadly, they are rarely well themed, which takes away from replayability. The double whammy is that Reiner Knizia's numbered card games tend to be dry like the riverbeds of Baja California, and so imagine my surprise upon playing this gem of a game.
Production of this simple little game is nearly off the charts. Heavy fencing figures ('meeple' humanoid silouettes, who, strangely enough, both look suspiciously like Count Dracula), a nicely illustrated deck of cards, a beautifully illustrated board depicting a fencing field surrounded by trees, shade, foliage and the like. (Mind you, this game is very pricey for such a light 2-player game, so I suppose you get what you pay for.)
Gameplay is simple enough, play a card, advance you figure. Das' it. If you can add numbers between 1 and 5 together, you can play this game (that means you, Joe Steadman. =) The beauty of the game is its simplicity and remarkable capture of the fencing aesthetic.
The deck of cards is numbered 1-5 with 5 of each card. Players have a hand of 5 cards to choose there action from. When a player plays a card, he advances (or retreats) that many spaces on the fencing ground. Players rush towards each other trying to push the other fencer back. Once a player is within striking distance (5 spaces or less) the player has an additional option: make a strike at the other player. At this point he may play more than one card. For example, if he is 3 spaces from his opponent, he may play any number of '3' cards to attack. Then the attacked player has an opportunity to parry by playing the same number of '3' cards. At this point, the parrying player may also counter attack. The key here is that since there are only five of each number, having three of a number guarantees a hit from that range (sicne your opponent couldn not parry it). But the kicker is that since you hold so many cards of that number, a smart opponent will make sure never to be that many spaces away from you. But as the draw deck evaporates, the players must takes risks, for if no hit is made when the draw deck runs out, then whomever was pushed back the furthest loses. This creates a remarkable tension and bluff as players move inside each others range trying to feel out what cards a player may have.
And when you tire of that way to play, the game includes extra cards that add some spice by introducing one rule change to a match, changing the tactics needed to win!
Amazingly light, and uncharacteristicly thematic, Duell is an excellent 2-player game. I almost feel bad only awarding 4 stars, but the high price point, and the repetitive nature of gameplay mean this game will be great filler for 2-player game nights, but probably not a game to be played every day. But if I am wrong, I'll come back and up the rating, because this game is close to excellence. Elegant, appealing, Duell is a game most people will want to pick up, and by far the best game in the Ravensburger 2-player series.
Quick two-player card games are appealing to me both for the home and office lunchtime games. This one looked good and was worth a try. It does capture the flavor of fencing (a sport I tried in college), which is not so much swashbuckling as it is cautious advances and retiring followed by furious, brief flurries of activity.
Players start with 5 cards from a deck of 25 cards (five each of 1 through 5) and advance on a 23-space track (each starts at the far end of one side). During each turn, a player can play a card to advance or retire that many spaces, board permitting, then restocks his or her hand to 5 cards.
The action starts when you get close enough to your opponent to reach him or her with a card play. Instead of moving forward, if you have a card or cards exactly equal to the number of spaces between you, you can play them and say 'hit'. The opponent must respond with an equal number of cards to parry your attack and then play a card in response, or else they lose the round.
This leads to some interesting bluffing and calculating. Because everybody knows the number and value of cards in the deck, you may have to take some chances (I'm 2 spaces away and have a 2 in my hand--does she have one 2 in her hand, or more? How many 2 cards have been played again?) to win. If the deck runs out without hits, the player furthest from his or her start point wins. There is luck in the initial deal, but clever play and sound thinking will give an advantage to the thoughtful player instead of the heedless one. Bluffers can do very well, too.
There are additional cards that can be drawn before the start of each round that provide some variation in play, such as start with 3 cards only, start 10 cards but don't draw to refill your hand, etc. These make for interesting play. The only drawback to the game is that it is somewhat repetitive. My 11-year old daughter and I are the primary players, and the game is good for one 30-minute full round or so, but not often two back-to-back. We both think the game would excel as a tournament, though. Well worth your money if you have interest in logical card games!

He's at it again. The three foot high over-exhuberant maniac has turned up for Grandslam week far too early and is plaguing the households of Welsh people everywhere with talk of easy wins and pre-ordering victory T-shirts and DVDs. Do stop it, there's a lovely butty bach.
He's pointing at all sorts of evidence for his manic chipperness; France want the roof open, Fofana's been hidden on the wing, Sam's back, the letters spelling "Cymru" in scrabble are worth "12" points – but the empty bottle of penderyn and four-pack of red bull are more likely to be the fuel for the little fella's fit of frenzy. But when he caps it off trying to look up your missus' skirt and starts hosing away in the kitchen sink singing 'hymns and arias' then it's time to stow him away in the airing cupboard and gag him. Leave him in there with a warm flannel and a copy of Razzle and he should burn himself out soon enough.
Some say at full moon he wears a deer's skull and rides a chariot along the Heads of the Valleys road pulled by George North and Alex Cuthbert, some say he turned down a role in the new Hobbit film over a philosophical protest at large corporate media killing innovation in the arts, some say his erogenous zones cover most of South Wales. All we know is that sometimes before a match you want to stick his head in a food blender, but at the end of the day, he's only trying to help. He loves us, and sometimes we love him back.
Here's to optimism, the amazing prospect of 3 grandslams in 8 years and the 22 boys trying to get us there. C'mon Wales!

CHICAGO -- When it comes to Game 7, Los Angeles truly is the king of the road.
Alec Martinez scored at 5:47 of overtime, and the Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Sunday night to advance to the Stanley Cup finals for the second time in three years.
The Kings became the first team in NHL history to play 21 games in the first three rounds and advance to the Stanley Cup finals, where they will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 on Wednesday night.
Los Angeles improved to 7-0 in elimination games and also became the first team to win three Game 7s on the road in one postseason.
"We've battled back so many times this year, and so many times in these playoffs, we said, 'Why not again today?' " said Justin Williams, who had a goal and an assist. "It was a total team effort, every single guy here giving everything they've got."
Martinez's shot went off Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy and fluttered over goalie Corey Crawford, stunning the sellout crowd at the United Center and leading to a wild on-ice celebration for Los Angeles. Leddy and Crawford were hunched over as the Kings gathered in a big huddle along the boards.
"I didn't really see it go in," Martinez said. "I know it went off a couple bodies. I just tried to get it through, and fortunately it went in."
Patrick Sharp scored twice for the Blackhawks, who blew a 2-0 lead. Brandon Saad had a goal and an assist, and Patrick Kane had two more assists. Jonathan Toews also scored for Chicago, and Crawford finished with 27 saves.
"This was a tough way to go down. This one's going to sting for a while," Toews said.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said, "I've lost some tough games, but nothing like tonight."
Kings coach Darryl Sutter moved to 7-3 in Game 7s, breaking a tie with Blackhawks adviser Scotty Bowman and Pat Burns for the NHL record for most coaching wins in Game 7s.
"You need everybody when you get to Game 7. You're not into the individual part of it," Sutter said.
Tyler Toffoli had a goal and an assist for the Kings, who once held a 3-1 lead in the series, only to see the Blackhawks come back to force Game 7. Jeff Carter scored his ninth playoff goal in the first, and Marian Gaborik had the tying goal midway through the third period.
The Kings also got 37 saves from Jonathan Quick in another resilient performance for Sutter's team. Los Angeles trailed the Sharks 3-0 in its first-round series and was down 3-2 to top-seeded Anaheim in the second round before rallying each time.
"It's just a great group to be part of," Quick said. "I feel very fortunate to be with the guys. Obviously our journey's not done yet, and we've got a lot of work here coming up. New York's an awesome team. They beat great teams, so they're battle-tested."

Atlantic City: the biggest shithole on the East Coast, where blocks of open-air crack markets immediately give way to cut-rate seedy casinos full of doomed and hopeless poverty-level day trippers in a geographic continuum of vice and despair unequaled anywhere in its chemical spill-laden state of New Jersey. Now it's easier to have your wedding there. Alert your spouse-to-be.
The world class New Jersey state legislature has passed a law making it easier to get married and divorced in the state, with an eye on turning Atlantic City into a "destination" for weddings between drunk men and paid escorts. It could soon be possible to demonstrate your poor understanding of statistical probability in the fields of both gambling and matrimony in a single, crack-fueled visit to the Jersey Shore.

very nice and simple browser for iphones or tablets
richbradshaw - yes, I'm aware that it's the nightly build.
shameless plug: I could easily make a nightly build for my own program and start spamming iusethis that a new build is available without any info what so ever about what have changed.
This would make my program pop up in the top every day so a lot of people would see it, but also most likely be somewhat annoying.
Do you want to see my program every day like this?
Other apps gets buried quickly because of the frequent webkit updates and you don't even submit a changelog. Please either submit either a changelog for each update or do fewer updates so other apps are given a fair chance to be seen.
At least add a change log when updating :/
@mt36000 , if you update it daily, it'll always be cluttering up the recent releases list.
Ok, Marcus, but only if the infos I put on this site are wrong... and I do not want to put wrong infos on this site because I use those infos too.
please don't, or I will have to take your toy away from you.

I've been using PMS a little over 2 years now and I've been using version 1.21.1 on my dedicated back end server without any major problems. Before upgrading any software I like to test it on another pc to make sure it works the way its suppose to. I haven't had much luck when it comes to upgrading PMS and testing. I am getting different results when it comes to the way PMS is transcoding videos.

Running pms 1.21 everything transcodes properly AVC, DTS etc, using TsMuxer. Occasionally I use MEncoder, when certain videos give me problems, but it works.

Using the latest version of PMS 1.81.0 and previous releases, video's are only being transcoded with mpeg2 and only put dolby 5.1 no dts and doesn't matter which video engine I use. This is the main reason why I refuse to upgrade because of the inconsistent performance, you never know what you are going to get if you decide to upgrade. Does anyone know why mpeg2 is being forced when playing mkv's, am I missing any settings in the newer releases?

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cbus A walk down memory lane! I had to buy this for my uncle since he now owns my grandparent's house. He was talking about how my grandparents used to decorate for the holidays and I saw this Santa in one of the old photos. I just had to get it for him! January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Granny Deb Remembering the old days We had this Santa when I was growing up and during a move it was lost many years ago. When I found this on your website I was thrilled and bought for a family member, when he opened the package and looked at the back where it was made is where we live Norfolk, VA. The place of business I remember well. Great Santa and going to order two more. Thank you for the memories? February 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Barbiegirl one happy uncle! I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my uncle. He had often talked about how he wished he had a light up santa face like the one he had as a kid growing up. I searched all over and tried Vermont Country Store and I purchased this item and on Christmas morning I gave him his gift. He opened it and I thought he was actually going to cry. He was so happy and he took his bells decoration right off the wall and placed Santa up there and we plugged it in and Santa watched over us all Christmas day. You will never know how much delight this gift gave him. December 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JstanNY Exactly as I remember This hanging Santa head is exactly like the ones I remember growing up. It's well made and worth every penny. I am so glad Vermont Country Store has these. I bought one last year and bought another one this year and I have them lit up hanging on walls. Perfect. December 22, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Barney Santa is not as pictured I'm thinking the Santa I received is defective. The face is fine when not lit. When you turn it on the face is very dark. I am so disappointed. Also the cord is extremely short. You need an extension cord to hang it. December 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by None other Simple Happiness Just finding this product again was a miracle in itself. Something thought gone forever now has a second chance. Thank you for taking the time to remember it, and making it available .This is one of those things beyond value. November 24, 2014

A couple of weeks ago, David Boaz discussed the Old Testament story in which the people of Israel ask Samuel for a king to rule over them. God's instructions to Samuel can be summed up as "tell them to be careful of what you wish for." David brought up the passage in the context of civil liberties, but the story's lesson also applies to economic liberties.

Biden's Fatal Conceit
The White House's misbegotten "Summer of Recovery" continued today with the release of another administration "analysis" that purportedly demonstrates the stimulus's success in "transforming" the economy.
States Shy From HSR Money
The president's stimulus package contained an $8 billion downpayment on a national system of high-speed rail. The money came with no state matching requirements, which generated state applications totaling $102 billion. When Congress added a 20 percent state matching requirement to an additional $2.3 billion for high-speed rails grants in this year's budget, state applications only totaled $8.5 billion.

In other words, HUD pushed recipients to engage in political advertising, and to do it with taxpayer funds.

Dress up in a ski outfit from your favorite decade ('60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s) and win a prize. Prizes include two new snowboards, a one-night stay at the Viceroy Snowmass and gift certificates from Base Village merchants. Or grab a gang of buddies and create your own Schneetag craft to float across a pond, and win even more prizes.
"We've all worked hard this ski season, and this is a thank-you to guests, locals, the lodging community and all of Snowmass' merchants," said Jerome Simecek, director of operations for Snowmass Hospitality. "The mountain has held up great, and this is a good get-together and some fun to say, 'Thank you.'"
The closing day party is hosted by the Base Village Merchants Association and sponsored by Viceroy Snowmass Resort and Residences, Aspen Snowmass, The town of Snowmass Village, the Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center, Slice, Base Camp, Sneaky's Tavern, the Aspen Times, Burger Bar and Fish, Four Mountain Sports, Snowmass Village Rotary Club and Snowmass Hospitality.

The Burlingame chairlift will be open and free for those who wish to watch the Schneetag event above the Spider Sabich Picnic Palace from 1 to 3 p.m. Schneetag participants can get a free beer coupon at Sneaky's, Base Camp or Slice. Teams of four create a craft that they pilot down the ski slope and attempt to float across a 75-foot-by-20-foot pond. Every team has a theme and will perform a skit before it descends. There will be an awards ceremony at 4 p.m. in Base Village.
The Snowmass Village Rotary Club will operate a dunk tank in Base Village where you can get some of the town's favorite people wet. And the Pinnacle Vodka Girls will make a special appearance to give away swag at 2 p.m.
In the kids zone, Betty Hoops will be there with her hula-hoops, and kids can enjoy a bounce house, chalk art and face painting.
"I never want to see ski season end, but this season has been awesome," said Sue Way, director of the Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center. "There's snow this week, and it's looking to be a great weekend. Parents can go out and ski with their kids one more time, then come down and enjoy all the free activities in Base Village at the closing-day party."
"This winter has been great," Simecek said. "But we also want everyone to remember that Base Village is a great portal for all the summer fun in Snowmass, and we hope to see everyone back here then."

The Mother of Reinvention
Lately I've been doing a fair amount of speaking at industry events across the country on a range of topics, everything from cider to managing SKU proliferation in the warehouse. Each presentation has had its own unique challenges, but I have to admit, none have been more challenging that the one for the panel I moderated last month at The Beverage Forum. And the reason for that is the disparate nature of the four speakers (other than me) on the panel: Becky McAninch of Kraft, speaking specifically about the company's MiO water enhancers; Paddy Spence, CEO of Zevia zero-calorie CSDs; Andy Thomas, CEO of Craft Brew Alliance (CBA) and Charles van Es of Heineken USA (who graced our April cover), addressing the company's Strongbow brand.
So what was it exactly that binds this diverse lot together? That was my conundrum. And then it hit me in the form of one word: reinvention. It's a concept that has driven some facet of each of the brands that will be showcased on the main Forum stage.
When Kraft launched MiO it was essentially reinventing the way consumers drink water. More specifically how they enhance their water. Value-added water has been on a bit of a downward trajectory over the past couple of years, according to Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC, our partner on The Beverage Forum). Last year, BMC reports, value-added water dipped nearly 7 percent. The emergence of flavor drops, such as MiO was really rooted in the overarching customization trend. In this age of social media, Spotify and Pandora, consumers, especially the mammoth millennial demographic, are looking to have everything their way. And with products like MiO, they can determine just how much flavor and functionality their water has.
Zevia seized on a similar downward market trend—albeit one on a much grander scale than functional water. The CSD market has been declining for most of the past decade, as consumers are looking beyond just simple refreshment in their liquid refreshment products. Two terms that keep popping up are "natural" and "healthy" and those are words that often are associated with Zevia's signature ingredient, stevia. Zevia, in essence, is a reinvention of the struggling soda category.
The whole craft beer phenomenon, one could argue, is a reinvention of the overall beer category and some of the core brands in the CBA portfolio, Widmer and Red Hook in particular, were among the pioneering players in the segment involved in that reinvention. However, companies like CBA are reinventing the specialty segment even further through their marketing strategy. They're recognizing that there's not really such thing as a "craft drinker" but sub-segments within the craft universe that need to be targeted with the utmost precision.
And a similar scenario is playing out in the surging cider market. As the category enjoys its current explosion, brand owners are realizing that there really isn't a "cider drinker" per se. It's segmenting much like the overall beer market has: There are the premium domestics (think A-B's new launch Johnny Appleseed and MillerCoors' Smith & Forge), the crafts (such as this month's Breakout Brand Virtue) and then the imports (Stella Artois Cidre, for instance). But Heineken USA has recognized that there's segmentation even beyond imports into the upscale, lifestyle, "badge brand" space—a space that it hopes to define by the reinvention of its venerable, classic Strongbow trademark.
The general rule in today's beverage market is that there are no rules. Those who try to adhere to "the way things have always been done" will be mere spectators as the world is reinvented around them.

EDITOR'S NOTE: A version of this article was originally published in the May 2012 issue of Kiplinger's Retirement Report. To subscribe, click here.
You've finally decided to buy an insurance policy to protect your nest egg from the staggering costs of long-term care. But now insurers are pulling out of the market, while the remaining sellers are boosting costs. And if you already hold a policy, you may be facing steep premium hikes.
SEE ALSO: Special Report on Long-Term Care
Don't despair quite yet. You still have many ways to cover long-term-care costs. Several strong insurance companies continue to sell policies, and there are new strategies for reducing the premiums. Meanwhile, insurers are introducing alternatives, in particular policies that bundle long-term-care coverage with annuities or life insurance -- an option that offers a payoff whether you need care or not.
The potential costs of long-term care are just too large for most people to ignore. In 2011, nursing-home care topped more than $87,000 a year. And home care can cost even more. "Your financial plan is not complete unless you have some kind of protection for long-term care built into it," says Peter D'Arruda, an investment adviser and president of Capital Financial Advisory Group, in Cary, N.C.
But the long-term-care insurance industry is in disarray. In setting their premiums years ago, insurers underestimated the number of people who would file expensive claims. Low returns on the insurers' investments have made it tough to make up for pricing mistakes.
In the past few years, several major long-term-care companies stopped selling new policies. MetLife left the market in 2010, and Prudential announced its exit from the individual business in March 2012. Plus, most major insurers raised rates for current policyholders at least once over the past few years. In late 2010, John Hancock announced it would ask state regulators for permission to increase rates for most policyholders by an average of 40% -- and some as high as 90%. Then Genworth asked for an 18% rate hike for one-fourth of its policyholders. These hikes are just kicking in now.
This state of affairs leaves current policyholders and prospective ones in a quandary. People who are in their fifties and sixties balk at the high prices of traditional policies. And they worry that they'll be trapped into paying ever-rising premiums. "People understand the cost and the odds because they're living it with their parents," says Mari Adam, a certified financial planner in Boca Raton, Fla. "But the problem is the long-term-care business really is in turmoil."
Here are some options to navigate this turbulent marketplace.
For current policyholders. If you're socked with a premium hike, resist the temptation to drop the policy. You'll lose all the benefits that you spent years paying for. And newer policies are much more expensive, especially now that you are older. "I've been doing long-term care since 1990, and I think I've replaced one policy in 22 years," says John Ryan, a consultant in Greenwood Village, Colo., who helps fee-only financial planners find suitable coverage for their clients.
Ryan recently compared prices for a couple who purchased long-term-care insurance policies in 2003 with a 5% inflation rider, when they were 48 and 54. Their original monthly benefit was $6,000 and increased over the nine years to be worth $9,300 a month. The combined premium before a recent rate increase was about $3,000 a year; after, it rose to $5,900. But now Ryan's clients are 57 and 63, and when he shopped around for a new policy with a $9,300 monthly benefit, the premium was $10,400 a year.
If you get a notice of a rate increase, ask about your options. You may be able to continue at your current premium by cutting back on the benefit period. Reducing a lifetime benefit period to five years still provides more coverage than the average nursing-home stay of three years. If you have a short waiting period before benefits kick in, you can lengthen it to 90 days or so.
Also consider lowering your inflation protection to 3%, from 5%. Before you make that move, find out how big a pool of benefits you would have in your eighties, when you're likely to need care. If you're in your mid sixties and likely won't need care for another 20 to 25 years, lowering the inflation protection could reduce your benefits pool by thousands of dollars. But if you're in your late eighties or older, it may make sense to reduce, or eliminate, the inflation protection rather than change the benefit period.
If you learn that your insurer is pulling out of the market, don't worry. The company is still on the hook to pay benefits. And if the company sells its long-term-care business to another insurer, that company will be required to make the payments.
Hedge your bets. Instead of buying enough long-term-care insurance to cover the full risk, you can keep the premiums more manageable by making some trade-offs. "You don't need to cover every last dollar of need, but pay for what you can. It's okay to scale back benefits," says Adam.
Rather than buying a policy that provides lifetime benefits, go with a plan that offers benefits anywhere from three to five years. Advisers also prefer "shared benefit" policies for married couples. A three-year shared-benefit policy provides a pool of six years of coverage to divvy up between spouses. If you need five years of care and your spouse needs one, you're both covered. Such a policy costs about 15% more than two separate policies with three-year benefit periods. It may be worthwhile to extend the benefit period if you have a family history of Alzheimer's disease or other long-lasting conditions.
Because you may wait 20 or more years to tap your policy, your daily benefit should keep up with rising costs. The 5% compound inflation protection is the gold standard, but some companies are offering cheaper policies that boost benefits by 3% a year. The 3% annual boost has kept up with general inflation recently, although the cost of care often rises faster than general inflation. A 55-year-old couple with a three-year shared-benefit policy that has a $150 daily benefit and 3% inflation protection starts out with a pool of coverage worth $340,000 that grows to more than $700,000 by the time they are 80.
Look carefully at the policy's home-care requirements, which can make a big difference for Alzheimer's patients and others who often receive care in their homes. Some policies pay for any caregiver who is not a family member, while others only pay for licensed caregivers who work for an agency -- who often charge a lot more per hour. (If you don't spend your maximum daily benefit every day, you can extend the benefit period.) Also, look at how the policy counts days of care toward the waiting period, which is often 60 or 90 days. Some policies start the clock as soon as your doctor certifies that you need help with two out of six activities of daily living (such as bathing or dressing) or have cognitive impairment. Others count only the days that you receive care, which can make a big difference if you only need care for a few days a week, which is the case for many Alzheimer's patients in the early years of the disease.
It's important to work with an agent who deals with many insurers, because the price differences can be huge. Consider this example offered by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, a trade group: A healthy 55-year-old couple wants a policy with a $150 daily benefit, three-year shared-care benefit period, 90-day waiting period before benefits start and a 3% inflation adjustment. Insurers offer a range of prices from $2,027 to $3,574 a year.
Ryan says the major long-term-care insurance companies include Genworth, John Hancock, Mutual of Omaha, MassMutual, New York Life and Northwestern Mutual. "Make sure you give your agent as much of your medical history upfront, so the agent can match your risk with the company that can make the best offer," Ryan says. (You can find a long-term-care specialist at www.aaltci.org or by calling 818-597-3227.)
Even with these cost-saving moves, Ryan says policyholders should be prepared for a premium increase of up to 20% every five years. To cap your future premiums, you can buy a "ten pay" policy. You pay more each year, but premiums end after ten years. Make sure you ask the insurer that it won't impose new charges after ten years.
Consider a 60-year-old who wants to buy a policy from Northwestern Mutual with a three-year benefit limit, $6,000 monthly benefit, 12-week waiting period and 5% inflation protection. A person who buys a regular policy would pay $5,316 a year in premiums, compared with $11,130 a year for the ten-pay policy.
New source of money. If you already own a permanent life insurance policy or a deferred annuity, there's good news: Under a new tax law, it's now easier to move money tax-free from these products to pay long-term-care insurance premiums.
Erik Jensen, 66, is a professor at Case Western Reserve University, and his wife, Helen, 63, is a legal specialist at a law firm in Cleveland. The couple bought permanent life insurance policies in 1985, and with dividend reinvestments, the policies have built up significant cash value.

BELPRE - For more than two decades people have come from around the Mid-Ohio Valley to enjoy the festive lighting displays in and around Belpre.
When the lights are flipped on Nov. 21, the 24th season of the Belpre Holiday Lights Festival will begin, said organization president Darien Lorentz.
"This lights festival is all about getting involved to make a better community," said volunteer Jim Craven. "It is a great organization that is all about the kids, making them smile is the best part."
Article Photos
The lighting displays, which include poinsettia, angels and a carousel, all made of colored strings of lights with metal frames, are added to each year with new displays each year.
This year's new displays include the ships of Christopher Columbus - the Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria, the "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" trio; a kangaroo; a bird fighting to catch a worm and a newly designed "Holiday Lights Sign."
"Unlike other lights displays, we make all of our own, in house," said volunteer Dana Fouss. "Each year we build something new, which makes it more fun."
This will be the 24th year for the festival, which began in 1989 with Bob Jackson and the Belpre Woman's Club placing two doves near the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge.
"We now have 195 displays and most of them have two or more parts, so we really have more than 250 individual lighted pieces," Craven said.
The carousel is the largest with 13 pieces.
The popular holiday lights displays are currently being placed around the city, in parks, along roadways and on buildings. About 30 percent of the displays are animated with lighted movement and often tell a story.
"About 98 percent of the lights are up," Craven said Saturday.
The members of the Belpre Holiday Lights Committee work 11 months each year designing, building and placing displays in their Gene Street building to be placed around the city and in Civitan and Howes Grove parks during each holiday season.
"There is a lot of work we do all year long," Fouss said. "We have people working all year long, on weekends and during the week."
Craven said they are always looking for more volunteers.
"It is a great thing for people who are retired to do because it only takes the time you want it to and you get to see the excitement when the lights go on," he said.
This year's Belpre Holiday Lights Festival will begin at 6 p.m. Nov. 21 with the displays illuminating the city with holiday spirit between 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. every night through Jan. 2.
The annual Festival of Lights Parade will be held Nov. 24 at 6 p.m. and will include floats, walking groups, carolers and horses and riders from individuals and groups throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley.
All participants in the parade, which is sponsored by the lights committee and coordinated by the Belpre Lions Club, are required to be illuminated with Christmas lights and reflect the holiday spirit, said committee member Nancy Sams.
Little Miss and Mister Christmas winners will welcome Santa and the special "Pink Tractor for Breast Cancer" built by members of the Pioneer Antique Power Association, who will be escorting Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Continuing with tradition, Santa and Mrs. Claus will greet children at the bandstand gazebo in Civitan Park immediately following the parade courtesy for the Belpre Woman's Club.
Because of the evening darkness and for the safety of all involved, the parade committee asks that all candy be handed out, not thrown to the audience, Sams warned.

Lawyers are delivering closing arguments in the murder trial of a Philadelphia abortion provider.
He is accused of killing babies who were born alive.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell could face the death penalty if convicted.
Anti-abortion advocates held a prayer vigil outside a courthouse in Philadelphia where an abortion doctor is on trial, charged with killing four babies as well a 41 year old patient who died during a botched procedure.
Inside, jurors heard closing arguments in the case of Kermit Gosnell. Prosecutors say the 72 year old ran a house of horrors inside his West Philadelphia clinic – conducting illegal late term abortions for poor women. Witnesses testified that Gosnell used scissors to cut the spinal cords of babies who were born alive. Prosecutors described the clinic as filthy.
But Gosnell's lawyers claim the babies were not alive when they were born and he argued that the description of the clinic as "house of horrors" was a fabrication.
The trial has drawn attention from both sides of the abortion debate. Advocates say it highlights the need for safe and legal abortions, but opponents say what happened at the clinic was not an isolated incident.
Carol Hughes used to work in the same neighborhood as Gosnell's clinic. She describes the scene, "I just saw the activity of the women going in and out." She says news footage of the smiling doctor upset her. Hughes adds, "I hope whatever the verdict is it knocks the smirk off his face...Even if he's found not guilty this is no laughing matter."
Eight of Gosnell's former employees including his wife have already plead guilty in connection with the case. Gosnell faces the death penalty if convicted.
One of Gosnell's former co-workers is on trial with him. 56 year old Eileen O'Neil is charged with theft. Prosecutors say she was practicing medicine at Gosnell's clinic without a license.
But during closing arguments her lawyer says prosecutors didn't prove their case and O'Neill wasn't involved in any surgical abortions.

From a QCAD user:
My problem is getting dimension entities and text to appear at their proper size when a steel part 78" long is scaled down to fit on an 8.5" x 11" page. The arrowheads and the numerals shrink along with the part, and vanish into a blur hardly wider than the pen weight. The extension lines merge with the part itself.

Wallenda walk leaves Sarasota partiers speechless
Published: Sunday, June 23, 2013 at 11:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 23, 2013 at 11:07 p.m.
SARASOTA - It may have been the quietest block party in history.
For stories and photos from Nik Wallenda's recent stunts, click here to visit our new website, wallenda.heraldtribune.com
People stood frozen, hands clasped over their mouths, for 22 minutes and 54 seconds as they watched Sarasota's Nik Wallenda wirewalk across the Grand Canyon.
Just as a woman let out a nervous squeal, a clown played a miniature banjo about 10 feet away.
About 3,000 people gathered at the corner of North Lemon Avenue and Main Street to watch Sarasota's Nik Wallenda wirewalk across the Grand Canyon and into history Sunday night.
Mattison's City Grille and Circus Sarasota teamed up to throw a viewing party complete with roadblocks, a jumbo outdoor screen, hot dogs and clowns.
Lots of clowns.
They walked through the crowd gathered to watch Wallenda, making corny jokes and singing songs while young circus performers contorted themselves into unnatural formations.
Lee-En Chung, an engineer, squealed when Wallenda stepped onto the wire.
She waved an orange poster with "SRQ LOVES NIK," signed "never give up" by Wallenda. A cowbell added exclamation points to all of her cheers.
"I get so nervous watching him," she said. "My palms get all sweaty."
As he neared the finish and then ran the last few steps to the platform, the crowd erupted into a three-minute cheer.
Ari Shedlock jumped up and raised her arms.
The 11-year-old, decked out in a bright teal leotard, performs aerial stunts with the Sailor Circus.
Though she loves performing, she is skeptical about walking across the Grand Canyon without a safety tether.
"I don't know," she said, "but it looks like it would be really fun."

"Very quick delivery. Bought as a spare pair with the club season approaching. The pads are stiff at first, just work them with your hands. Daughter had used UA exclusively and didn't really want another brand. Now she won't take her UA's to matches, only practice. They are very slimming compared to other knee pads. " (E4545)
"Great - my 11 year old son really likes the air holes in the rubber and he says they feel great. Great buy at a low cost and worth the money" (E3695)

The last thing most kids need for the holidays is another reason to sit around pushing buttons or gazing at a screen.
Last year, I made sure Santa brought things that would prompt my kids to go outside -- mostly because I can't hear the TV when they're inside bothering me. Bikes, skateboards, grenade launchers -- anything to get them off their rear ends and out of the house. It worked for about seven hours or so, spread out over six months. Then it got warm, and I locked them inside the pool area for the summer.
It's an ongoing battle. If I don't always win, it's not for lack of trying. All I want is for these children to go out and play. And I'll spend good money (is there any other kind?) to make it happen.
The 4-year-old isn't a problem, because she just follows her two 10-year-old sisters everywhere. That will probably get dicey when they are old enough to date.
No, it's the older two that are the problem. A couple of years ago, I got so fed up with how the television was turning them into mindless drones that I physically forced them into the backyard and locked the door behind them. After about five minutes of trying to get back in, one of them actually came around to my bedroom window, crying, saying she was freezing and she needed to come in or she would get sick.
It was September. It was 76 degrees outside.
Ongoing war
It's an uphill struggle for parents, as the entertainment and gaming industries increasingly come up with riveting things that keep children sitting in one spot for hours. So I let them play video games that have them swinging their arms or dancing. At least they're moving, plus it's terribly entertaining watching them try to dance.
Meanwhile, the bikes, skateboards and scooters are cluttering up my garage. I haven't given up on them, but I can't go back out and rebuy all that stuff this year. I need to be creative.
Maybe I can get them a hang glider. At least they would have to climb something to make it work. The same theory would work with a zip line, though I'm not entirely sure the homeowners association would appreciate me building a takeoff platform on my neighbor's house. I'm sure no one would mind screaming children zip lining across the common area.
I think I just prompted the association to call an emergency meeting. Again.
Hoop dreams
Also under consideration is getting them one of those mobile basketball hoops, even though I know what would end up happening: They'd play for about five minutes, then the next time I had friends over, we'd end up outside, lowering the hoop to pretend we can dunk. I haven't paid off the emergency room bill from the last time we did that.
Boxing equipment would be terribly fun. The kids could slug it out in the garage with their friends, while all the parents sat around, betting on who would win.
Another option might be those kids' hockey sets that can be set up outdoors. That might be fun -- until someone takes a puck to the face. Never mind. Dentists' co-pays can be murder.
We have tennis courts in our complex, which would be a lot more practical than having them take up golf. It's lots less expensive, plus it would avoid the issues neighbors would have with me boring holes all over the common area. Of course, that part wouldn't be a problem if I bought them a portable driving range. Then the kids could get lots of exercise running away from the sound of smashing glass.
Maybe I should just rewrap the stuff from last year. After all, there's a 50-50 chance they don't remember it anyway.

Completion of Cnooc Deal to Help Bankers Clear Backlog
Another deal is close to being marked "done" for bankers in Asia.
The U.S. government said Tuesday that it would approve Cnooc $15.1 billion acquisition of Canada's Nexen, removing the last major obstacle for the Chinese offshore oil producer. Completion of the acquisition, scheduled for the end of the month, will help bankers move forward with clearing an overhang of pending deals from last year. By volume, only 57% of Asia-Pacific mergers & acquisitions announced in 2012 had been completed at the start of this year, according to Dealogic.
News of the approval sent Cnooc shares up more than 2% in Hong Kong Thursday, the first day of trading after the Lunar New Year holiday.
Cnooc was advised by Citigroup and BMO Capital Markets, and Nexen was advised by Goldman Sachs and RBC Capital Markets.
The long-running battle for Singapore's Fraser & Neave came to an end last month, with Thai billion Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi beating out Indonesia's Riady family with a bid valuing the conglomerate at $11 billion. That deal was expected to be closed this week.
Other deals bankers are sure to be aching to close include Singaporean bank DBS Group Holdings $7.3 billion bid for Indonesia's PT Bank Danamon, which was announced in April and remains stuck in regulatory confusion. A Bank Indonesia official last month said DBS "can make the acquisition" under new bank-ownership rules, but the central bank is still discussing certain "commitments" it would like DBS to make.
Coming up, a proposed tie-up between Sharp and Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry faces a deadline next month. Hon Hai agreed last March to take a 9.9% stake in the Japanese company, but the deal has been in limbo since Sharp's share price plunged after the deal was announced. A senior Sharp executive said in November that a lack of earnings stability is hampering negotiations over a capital alliance.

EU approves Sanofi's Lyxumia
05.02.2013 - The European Commission has granted EU market authorisation to Sanofi's GLP-1 receptor agonist licisenatide as a diabetes therapy.
The first in class once-daily prandial GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, is indicated for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to achieve glycaemic control as a second line therapy. The decision of the Commission to approve the drug for patients that do not respond to a combination of oral glucose-lowering medicinal products plus basal insulin as well as diet and exercise is based on results from the GetGoal clinical programme
In 11 studies on 5,000 patients, the Paris-based drug maker demonstrated significant HbA1c reductions, a pronounced post-prandial glucose lowering effect and a beneficial effect on body weight in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. GetGoal results also showed that Lyxumia (licisenatide) had a favourable safety and tolerability profile in most patients, with mild and transient nausea and vomiting, the most common adverse events observed in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class, and a limited risk of hypoglycaemia, according to Sanofi.
The therapy, which was licensed from Danish Zealand Pharma A/S in a €170m deal, is indicated when first-line therapy proves no longer effective over time. It strengthens Sanofi's leading position in the €12bn diabetes market. GLP-1 is a naturally-occurring peptide hormone that is released within minutes after eating a meal. It is known to suppress glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells and stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells

Scratching Smith Doesn't Make Sense
It's strange how things work out sometimes.
I was all ready to go on a rant about Craig Hartsburg's decision to sit grizzled vet Jason Smith and not youngster Alex Picard. Then, Picard, whom I've been picking on all year, goes out and plays one of the best games I've seen him have all season. He scored a one-timer goal off a great feed from Daniel Alfredsson that had both me and broadcaster Gary Galley fooled. With that huge windup and rocket shot, I was convinced that All -Star Dany Heatley had just cranked in another one.
Picard was also decisive with the puck, both in his own zone and breaking out of it and looked good on the power play. It would have been hard to write the preceding sentence during any stretch of the season so far but maybe Picard really does have an upside that I've ignored.
That being said, I still think it was a bad move to make Jason Smith a healthy scratch. I'm not sure what good it does to sit a warrior like Smith who is also supposed to be a part of your leadership group. But who else was Hartsburg supposed to sit? Brendan Bell was coming off a game where he had scored the game-winner against Washington and sitting him against New Jersey might have also sent the wrong message to the guys in the room.
Now that the Jersey game is over and the Senators prepare to hit the road again, I hope Hartsburg comes to his senses and puts Smith back in the lineup where he belongs. Bell has the ability to step in and provide some spark but I don't think you need to do it at the expense of a proud and effective veteran.
Along with Chris Phillips and Anton Volchenkov, Smith provides the defensive balance on this team and having him in the lineup still leaves room for 3 of your more offensive defenseman. Yet Hartsburg was quoted after the morning skate as saying that he had too many "defensive guys" on the back end. I think the problem is the other way around. He doesn't have enough offense back there so he's trying to compensate by shifting the balance with quantity over quality.
Didn't work.
If you've been reading this blog for awhile, you'll know that I've been a little peeved at the Senators decision to drop their traditional pre-opening faceoff song and replace it with some modern canned FM rock crap that is as utterly forgettable as it is annoying.
Well, now there are others raising their voice about this issue. And one individual has taken it upon himself to start a Facebook page and a petition devoted to bringing the song back.
In case you're unaware of what song we're talking about, this is it:
Yes it's overly dramatic and a little corny, but it has been there since the first year of the franchise until the geniuses from the in-rink entertainment division decided that Sens fans don't care about tradition and that they should be subjected to just a few more minutes of Nickelback inspired droning that is also played incessantly every whistle of the game.
That corny old theme song was one of the things that let you know you were in the Senators rink, and not in Nashville or Florida or Carolina.
It's too bad that the organization is allergic to all things traditional which includes changing the uniforms and the logo whenever they get a chance.
You can help change this by signing the petition or just email the in-rink entertainment guy yourself: email@example.com.
New Jersey coach Brent Sutter has a funny habit of tugging on his left ear during the game. It kind of looks like he's talking on a cell phone, ordering a pizza or something. Remember when Wade Redden used to blink over and over again before every faceoff? Not that this has anything to do with anything, but you have to talk about something....... I finally broke down and watched "Slapshot 2: Breaking The Ice" tonight. I'm fully aware that a part 3 has recently come out but I had been putting off part 2 for about 6 or 7 years now. And yes, it was as bad as I expected. The only time I smiled was when Stephen Baldwin got punched in the face by his female coach (who he was sexually assaulting outside of a bar in a scene intended to be funny). The film would have been satisfying if it ended right there along with Baldwin's acting career.......
Brendan Shanahan looked a lot like Mark Messier on his third period goal. Just like the Moose, Shanny came in on the off wing and released a laser-like wrist shot that seemed to come a second earlier than Brian Elliott expected. The only difference is that Messier would shoot on his off-foot as well which would really throw the goalies off. Shanahan just overpowers guys ........ Elliott was good tonight despite letting in 4 goals. He also showed that flashy glove hand a few times.
The winter of 2008 - 2009 will be a season to forget in Ottawa. The Senators are terrible, the bus drivers are on strike and now we get word that the Chalk River Nuclear Facility just west of town accidentally released a "significant amount of radiation" into the atmosphere back in December. They are also leaking gallons of radiated waste water straight into the Ottawa river every day now because they don't have the time to repair it.
Seriously, what is that? A f**king nuclear leak? Are you kidding me dude?
This town is straight up f**ked right now.
Have a good day, eh.

Don't worry, Smith will be back in before you know it. He was likely benched in an effort to increase the footspeed of the d-corp against a fast Devils squad, and also to give each of Brian Lee and Brendan Bell another opportunity to prove which one should stick around in Ottawa and which one will head back to Bingo.
Smith has reason to be upset, but I think the scratch was less a result of something he did or didn't do than it was other circumstances coming to the fore.

I don't think you're being overly dramatic about the theme. The fans in this city have to start coming together to demand the type of team that we deserve. Let's face it, the fan base will outlast current ownership, the GM, the coach, the players, and the marketing department. The team belongs to us. We've already had three owners, we'll have more in the future. I think that the people of Ottawa want to create the tradition and class that oozes out of the Montreal Canadiens. We've gotta keep the people who mess with that in line. Kudos to the guy who started the Facebook petition.
Watch for Hartsburg and Murray to go into CYA (cover your ass) mode for the rest of the year. After tonight's game, Hartsburg was very firm about his assessment of the game. He said the players were out worked. The players are not working hard enough. I sensed his tone to be more direct and firm than ever.
I don't think those comments will resonate with the players. They've heard them before. I think that they were likely meant for the fans. Just my opinion. It'll be interesting to see if they are repeated over and over again as the ship continues to sink. Another way of saying "Don't blame me."
The team has sucked for about a year now. It'll be interesting to see how Murray talks his way out of this.

(1) #21 would have had a tough time with the speed of the Devils, thus been a step behind all night and no help to the pups.
(2) If I'm Brian Elliott do I really want to be up here with these guys at this point in time.
(3) The Goals:
Exhibit (a) 1st goal. Philips is working on two hands on the stick, when he should be turning with Gionta. Galley blames Brian Lee? What more could he do, kick the man's skates out from underneath him. What gives? Why didn't Philips get blamed?
Exhibit (b) 2nd goal. The off side D man should get that rebound off the back boards, or at least cover the Jersey forward with the puck. (and yes my pad seemed to stick to this friggin' SBP ice.)
Exhibit (c) 3rd goal. Tough shot, rebound, rebound!!! OK I've had enough. Note: When the other guy is working harder and reacts quicker he usually gets the puck again and again.
Exhibit (d) 4 goal If you are in a one on one, don't play it like a two on one and give Shanny a clear shot. Show the man a little respect.
Summation: If you think Brian Elliott had a bad game you must have been watching the Toronto game. Tough one Justin.

when you mention how Smith is proud and effective, I think you are one for two on that statement; i agree that he is proud.
The reality of the situation is Smith's time has passed, he is too slow and inefficient to compete at the level that should be expected of him. I'm not saying any of the young guys are great but at least by giving them a chance hopefully they will improve over time...this is the best Smith you're going to see.
- January 28, 2009 at 12:53 PM
That's right, because Smith got into the league for his speed on D, and his ability to get the puck out of the zone....
Just because Smith isn't the highly coveted PMD that Ottawa needs makes him ineffective? Get a grip! He was brought in for his leadership and his ability to clear opponents from the front of the net, which he has been doing well. And has been the only Sen I've seen consistently battling in front of our net, something that can't be said for all other D-men on Ottawa.
He was sat because management wants to assess the depth (or lack thereof) in the defense corps., not because he has been ineffective.

One of the six inmates who were released by mistake from the Hinds County Detention Center last week remains at large.
Deputies were still searching Wednesday for Germarkes Smith, who was facing an aggravated assault charge when he was let go along with five others who have since been captured or turned themselves in.
Detention Center authorities say the six suspects, including two charged with murder, were let go by mistake after a jailer did not correctly read a court order.
