EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
We blog questions posed to EAC and our answers every Monday. Submit questions or comments here, use the comment form or share on Twitter @EACgov.
Who pays for EAC's voting system certification process?
The Voting System Testing and Certification Program is part of EAC's operating budget. In Fiscal Year 2011, the Voting System Testing and Certification's budget was $1.3 million, which funds all program activities, including expenses related to the certification process.
It is important to note that voting system vendors pay test labs directly. EAC does not have the legal authority to collect money from voting system manufacturers to pay for the testing of voting systems (see 31 U.S.C. §3302(b), Miscellaneous Receipts Act). For more information about EAC's Voting System Testing and Certification Program, including a list of accredited test labs, go here.
What is EAC's social media policy?
EAC's social media policy and Twitter procedures are available online in the Resource Library. Also see EAC's blog code of conduct.
What are the social media plans and policies of election officials?
For more information about social media policies and plans used by election officials, visit our collection of social media links and follow the most comprehensive Twitter list of election officials. Also, view EAC's roundtable about social media and election administration, which features election officials who are active social media users: Voting Goes Viral.

What is the MOVE Act?
The 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act established procedures for military and overseas citizen voters to request and for states to send registration information by mail and electronically. The Act requires states to designate at least one means of electronic communication for military voters and overseas citizens to request and receive voter registration applications and absentee ballots. The Act also requires states to transmit information to these voters 45 days before an election.
EAC and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are helping the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) launch its pilot programs by providing best practices or standards. In addition, MOVE reiterated the 2004 mandate from Congress requiring EAC to create guidelines for the development of a remote electronic voting system.
In EAC's Report to Congress, we define our goal to develop remote voting guidelines that will best serve the needs of FVAP and military and overseas citizen voters. The report describes the work EAC has completed, including research, pilot program requirements and the funding provided to NIST to develop remote electronic absentee voting guidelines. EAC has also developed a program manual and federal certification process for voting systems that would serve UOCAVA voters. For more information about the MOVE Act and EAC's activities, visit the military and overseas voting section of EAC's website.
What is the reporting schedule for HAVA funds?
Please see EAC's reporting schedule chart.
Every week we get questions about updating voter registration. Recent questions include:
Voter registration does not move with you, so you will have to complete a new voter registration form to update your new address. Read more about moving and registering to vote. For more information about re-registering in the jurisdiction of your new address, visit your state's election office website.
How can I register to vote online?
Many states offer online registration tools, as well as ways to verify registration status. Visit your state's election website to find out what customer service tools they offer.
How do I register to vote for the 2012 elections?
We blog questions posed to EAC along with our answers every Monday. Submit them here, use the comment form or share on Twitter @EACgov.
When do counties and states certify the official election results?
The outcome of the election is not official until election officials complete the canvass of votes and certification of results, which sometimes may be several weeks after Election Day. Each state administers its own elections and laws vary for the starting and completion dates of the canvass, which is the compilation of election returns and the validation of the outcome that forms the basis of the official results.
For an election official, the canvass means aggregating or confirming every valid ballot cast and counted—absentee, early voting, Election Day, provisional, challenged, and uniformed and overseas citizen. The canvass enables an election official to resolve discrepancies, correct errors, and take any remedial actions necessary to ensure completeness and accuracy before certifying the election. For requirements and dates, check with your state's election office. For more information about the process, see EAC's Canvassing and Certifying an Election.
What state doesn't require voter registration?
North Dakota does not require voter registration. Get more info about registering to vote in your state.
Can you vote if you've recently moved?
How do I register to vote?
You can register using the process in the state where you live or by using the national mail voter registration form. Please note that registration requirements vary by state, so be sure to check with your state to find out what is required.
If I have changed my address, do I need to re-register to vote?
Voter registration does not move with you, so you will have to complete a new voter registration form to update your new address. Read more about moving and registering to vote. For more information about re-registering in the jurisdiction of your new address, visit your state's election office website.
What is the Help America Vote Act?
The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) was passed by the United States Congress to make sweeping reforms to the nation's voting process. HAVA addresses improvements to voting systems and voter access that were identified following the 2000 election. It also created the Election Assistance Commission, and our primary duties are:
Every Monday EAC blogs questions from the public. Submit yours here or use the online comment form.
We get smart questions from the public, and we realized that the inquiries and our responses may be useful to others. Every Monday we will share some of them here. Leave your question or comment here or send it to us. We also take input on Twitter @EACgov.
Q: If I move, am I still registered to vote?
A: Voter registration does not move with you. Even if you move within your existing county, you must complete a new voter registration form to update your new address. If you to move to a different county or state, you must re-register with your new county or state. Read more about moving and registering to vote. For information about re-registering, visit your state's election office website.
Q: What is the difference between EAC's military and overseas voters data and other data recently issued about these voters?
A: EAC's 2010 UOCAVA data are provided directly by each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and 4 territories. Primarily, we ask states to provide the number of ballots sent, received, counted and rejected. All data provided by the states are available in three formats, and the survey instrument is also available. Improving services for military and overseas voters is a shared goal at all levels of government. Working together and sharing our data about these voters contributes to a greater understanding of how to remove the challenges they may face when casting a ballot.

For Killer Bunnies fanatics this is a great new adventure. It feels slow at first but grows on you fast. The game retains the mechanics of the original Killer Bunnies but adds the space travel aspect. Players travel in space via bunnies from the bunny circle being placed on space ships. There are battles, rides on planets, cool new cards, even nasty aliens. Fun for the whole family. One possible downside is that this is not a quick game. Expect the game to take a while to complete.

Published Work, Student Theses, and Duplicated MaterialsFrom the Revolution to the Civil War
Two articles by George H. Ryden study the perimeters of the life of the early college: "The Founding of the University of Delaware and Its First President, Dr. E. W. Gilbert," Delaware Notes 8 (1934): 31-39, and "The Suspension of Delaware College in 1859 and Early but Unsuccessful Attempts at Its Reorganization," Delaware Notes 8 (1934): 75-83. A recent publication by John A. Munroe surveys the entire period: Church us. State: The Early Struggle for Control of Delaware College (Newark, 1983).
Among the most useful studies dealing with aspects of college history in this period are Jane N. Garrett, "The Delaware College Lotteries, 1818-1845," Delaware History 7 (1957): 299-318; John H. Renshaw, "Lotteries in Delaware History Prior to 1826" (M.A. thesis, University of Delaware, 1966); Willa G. Cramton and Norman W. Moore, Jr., "A Forerunner to Delaware College and Its Popular Rejection," Delaware History 12 (1966): 121-46; H. Clay Reed, "Student Life at Delaware, 1834-1859," Delaware Notes 8 (1934): 40-74; Richard C. Quick, "Murder at Delaware College: The Death of John Edward Roach, March 30, 1858," Delaware Notes 31 (1958): 1-31; Jacqueline C. Meisel, "Old College: The First Building of the University of Delaware, Its Origins and Development" (M.A. thesis, University of Delaware, 1971); and Ernest J. Moyne, "Did Edgar Allan Poe Lecture at Newark Academy?" Delaware Notes 26 (1953):1-20.
Among contemporary reminiscences of the early, college that are in print, the most useful is Joseph Cleaver, Jr., "The Diary of a Student of Delaware College, August, 1853, to November, 1854," ed. William D. Lewis, Delaware Notes 24 (1951): 1-87. Others are Isaiah D. Clauson, Memoranda of My Life (Woodstown, N.J., 1877); William D. Hoyt, Jr., ed., "A Student's Impressions of Newark College 105 Years Ago," Delaware History 2 (1947): 134-37; and Epher Whitaker, "From the Oldest Alumnus," Alumni News, January 1915, 7-8. Other contemporaneous comments can be found in A Calendar of Ridgely Family Letters, 1742- 1899, in the Delaware State Archives, ed. Leon De Valinger, Jr., and Virginia E. Shaw, 3 vols. (Dover, Del., 1948-61); and The Diaries of Phoebe George Bradford, 1832-1839, ed. W. Emerson Wilson (Wilmington, 1976).
Information concerning early faculty is to be found in [Benjamin Wallace], "Dr. Gilbert," Presbyterian Quarterly Review 9 (1853): 353-83, as well as in a brief note by the same author, "Death of Dr. Gilbert," Presbyterian Quarterly Review 6 (also 1853): 351; and in Susan P. Lee, Memoirs of William Nelson Pendleton, D.D. (Philadelphia, 1893); William D. Mackey, "William S. Graham," Delaware College Review 1 (Sept. 1882): 3; George Allen, Remains of William S. Graham, with a Memoir (Philadelphia, 1849); Ernest J. Moyne, "August Fredrik Soldan: A Finnish Scholar at Delaware College in 1849-1850," Delaware Notes 23 (1950): 83-89; William D. Lewis, "Henry W. Lister," Delaware Notes 18 (1945): 11-21; Walter R. Bowie, The Master of the Hill: A Biography of John Meigs (for Matthew Meigs) (New York, 1917); Charles Henry Hart, Memoir of Samuel Stehman Haldeman, LL.D....(Philadelphia, 1881, reprinted from The Penn Monthly, August 1881).
Ruthanna Hindes, George Alfred Townsend (Wilmington, 1946), is a biography of a noted academy student of this period who had neighborly and familial connections with the college W. David Baird, Peter Pitchlynn: Chief of the Choctaws (Norman, Okla., 1972), and Angle Debo, The Rise and Fall of the Choctaw Republic. 2nd ed. (Norman, Okla., 1961), explain the background of the Indian students.
The history of competing institutions in Delaware may be found in E. Miriam Lewis, ed., "The Minutes of the Wilmington Academy, 1777-1802," Delaware History 3 (1949): 181-226; Thomas J. Peterman, "A History of Saint Mary's College, Wilmington, Delaware" (M.A. thesis, Villanova University, 1961); Louise M. Porter, "The Wesleyan Female College, Wilmington, Delaware, 1837-1855" (M.A. thesis, University of Delaware, 1958); B. Franklin Cooling III, "Delaware Military Academy, 1859-1862," Delaware History 12 (1966): 121-46; and C. A. Weslager, Brandywine Springs: The Rise and Fall of a Delaware Resort (Wilmington, 1949).
Pertinent speeches that have been published include the inaugural addresses by John Holmes Agnew (Philadelphia, 1834) and Richard S. Mason (Philadelphia, 1836), a commencement address to the literary societies by Willard Hall (Philadelphia, 1845), a valedictory address by Samuel M. Harrington, Jr. (Philadelphia, 1858), and the Speech of David Paul Brown, Delivered May 19, 1858, in the Case of the State of Delaware against Isaac N. Weaver, a Student in Delaware College...(Philadelphia, 1858), also published in Forensic Speeches of David Paul Brown (Philadelphia, 1873). See also George J. Porter, Historical Discourse Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Newark, Delaware, July 22, 1876 (Philadelphia, 1876).
On student societies in general a helpful article is James McLachlan, "The Choice of Hercules: American Student Societies in the Early 19th Century," in The University in Society, ed. Lawrence Stone, vol. 2: Europe, Scotland, and the United States from the 16th to the 20th Century (Princeton, N.J., 1974). Other useful works that have pertinence to the history of Delaware College in this period are George M. Marsden, The Evangelical Mind and the New School Presbyterian Experience: A Case Study of Thought and Theology in Nineteenth-Century America (New Haven, Conn., 1970), and David F. Allmendinger, Jr., Paupers and Scholars: The Transformation of Student Life in Nineteenth Century New England (New York, 1975). Among many alumni directories that were consulted, two were especially valuable: George L. Reed, ed., Alumni Record. Dickinson College (Carlisle, Pa., 1905), and University of Pennsylvania, Biographical Catalogue of Matriculates (Philadelphia, 1894).

[Solved] Dark artifacts with detail texturesPosted Wednesday, 17 February, 2010 - 18:33 by the Fiddler in
I recently implemented detail textures for an extra boost in visuals, but I'm seeing a strange artifact I cannot pinpoint the cause of. The detail texture is a simple high-frequency grayscale image, stored in the A channel of a DDS texture. While rendering, this texture modulates the underlying color, like so:
#if DETAIL_TEXTURE // Multiply texcoords by a non-integer value to reduce tiling artifacts. // Average luminance of the detail texture should be 50% to avoid // over-darkening or over-brightening the scene. vec4 detail = texture2D(MapDetailBump, 143.6 * TexCoords0.st); color.rgb *= 2.0 * detail.a; #endif
Unfortunately, this results in some very visible "darkening" artifacts in areas that lie at grazing angles to the camera.
My best guess so far is that higher mipmaps somehow become darker than lower ones. Indeed, disabling mipmapping fixes the issue, but introduces unacceptable sparkling.
Any suggestions? I am creating the DDS files through GIMP as I'm not aware of any other DDS-capable image editor that runs on Linux.
I see the artifacts in the first picture but I can't see the detail texture ?
You can force the lower mipmaps to test if they are darker. In hlsl this command is tex2dlod.
Btw most games fadeout the detail maps in the distance.
Thanks, it seems that the two highest mips were too dark after all. I fixed that by trying different options in the DDS plugin for GIMP (insert bounding box + bicubic seems to work well).
The screenshots above are medium-to-high distance in order to show the issue, which is why the detail texture isn't visible. Close up and the the detail texture really helps, even though the base textures are 2048*2048.

Tellu 3.0.0: Inventory Management and Scripting
Inventory management software Tellu has been completely reworked and is now available in version 3.0.0.
Tellu's software architecture is split into four parts: agents in versions for Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X and Windows; a server in three different programs; the Tellu Skin user interface; and the Telmon monitoring client for X11.
MySQL and OpenLDAP serve as central data storage. As of version 3, the Tellu Expression Language (TEL) provides a simple scripting language to automate database operations.
The agents on the inspected machines collect lots of data such as operating system releases, hardware information, memory usage, network configuration, installed software and running processes. Multiple machines can be grouped in so-called factions, such as resources required for a certain project. Database entries can also include attachments, for example, driver programs or user guides.
Tellu 3.0.0 is ready for download as separate components from the BerliOS project page. The Windows agent is precompiled while others are in source code archives. Tellu is under the original BSD license.

An Introduction to Food Deserts
Obesity is a growing problem within the United States, and Philadelphia is one of the hardest-hit cities nationwide. In 2000, the American Obesity Association named Philadelphia the most overweight city and continued to name Philadelphia one of the top four obese cities in the country for the next five years (American Obesity Association 2005).
Many underserved communities in Philadelphia lack access to fresh, healthy and affordable food. These underserved communities are known as "food deserts," a term coined by Great Britain's Nutrition Task Force in the 1990s. Research in the United States revealed that nationwide there are fewer supermarkets per capita in low-income areas than in high-income areas (Cotterill and Franklin 1995, Nayga and Weinberg 1999). Lack of vehicle ownership is a significant barrier in accessing healthy food in low-income communities (Nayga and Weinberg 1999). Small food markets and stores available in inner-city neighborhoods often offer few and largely unaffordable options for healthy produce (Nayga and Weinberg 1999).
Food deserts in Philadelphia date back as early as the 1950s. In line with a nationwide trend, from the 1950s to the 1970s, urban residents of Philadelphia moved to the suburbs. Grocery stores followed this movement, enticed by lower startup costs and higher profit margins. At the end of this suburbanization process, Philadelphia became the city with the second-lowest number of supermarkets per capita in the United States.

Thats why I was wondering if you could do a donor cycle now and then freeze embryos just in case
I know you'd still have to pay for the FET's but its not as much as the IVF ,and then if you did want to try naturally you maybe wouldn't feel any pressure for it to happen quickly as you'd have a back up .
Although I suppose there's the issue then of if you did get pregnant naturally what do you do with the embryo's Can they not freeze just the eggs now , for some reason I don't see eggs as a potential baby in the same way as embryo's
I'm sure Sophie will get better once she can let you know what she wants Hannah did as she got older and could speak, although the breath holding was still a regular feature with the tantrums during the terrible twos and she still did it sometimes up until she started at school there's something to be said for being strong willed though as they get older o it does have an upside xx

Yeah I feel the same with eggs vs embies. But eggs are very difficult & expensive to freeze, I think it's vitrification they need due to how delicate they are? Plus I'm still bf'ing so I don't think I can do ivf while bf'ing...plus the thought of trekking up to london on the trains with Sophie fills me with dread
I can just imagine what the terrible 2s are going to be like! But keep telling myelf, like you, that being so strong willed & independent will do her well in life
I think if we start ttc at the end of the year then I have almost 18 mths before I turn 35, so we could give it up to a year and then decide if we want to go with ivf or just carry on as we are. Because the lady I gave my eggs to got preg 1st go I think they will try and rush me through as I'm a proven donor so that's a bonus xx
After a horrible few years, life is good.

Ahh thats good that you'd still have time , for some reason I thought you were closer to 35 , i'm sure they'd love to have you as a donor again if it came to that , but hopefully if you do decide to try for another baby it will happen quickly for you
I hadn't thought about the IVF and breast feeding (having a blonde moment ) xx

Long time so speak ladies, I thought I would pop on to see how everyone was.
Vic me & my OH have been talking about having another baby & we have said we are gonna wait until Jacob is 18 months old then we are going to start trying...we thought by the time we conceive & have the baby Jacob will be 2 1/2 3 so a lovely age for him to get involved
I am broody just like you at the moment & cant wait to have another

Biography: MAX POLLAK (1886-1970), born in Czechoslovakia, studied painting and etching at the Vienna Academy of Art under Ferdinand Schmutzer. By the 1910s, he was already gaining a reputation by creating portraits of European luminaries, including Sigmund Freud. While in Vienna, he witnessed the exodus of Jews from pogroms in Russia and Bohemia, as shown in his 1914 series of etchings Im Barachenslager.
Etching was Pollaks favored medium; his technique included applying color directly to the plate a la poupee before pressing results in unique impressions.
Pollak spent three years in Paris before coming to New York in 1927. After traveling extensively, as can be seen in his images of Central America, Austria, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Texas, Mexico and Guatemala, he eventually settled in San Francisco, California.

Rob's description does not match the mouse firmware problem. If
the mouse has bad firmware then the lockup occurs randomly, it is
not correlated with screensaver activity. This kind of lockup can
be cured (until the next occurrence) by unplugging and replugging
the mouse or by power-cycling the Sun Ray. A workaround for this
problem will be included in the next Sun Ray 2.0 *and* 1.3 patches,
this is not a 2.0 vs. 1.3 issue.
A "mouse upgrade" would not help because no fix has yet been
released for the mouse firmware. A mouse *downgrade* will help if
you can find a mouse that contains firmware that predates this bug.
Firmware below revision 05B is believed to be safe. The firmware
revision is shown on the underside of the mouse, immediately
following the mouse's serial number.
Rob's scenario sounds more like a server-side problem so it's
plausible that it could be fixed by installing an up-to-date patch
cluster. I'm not aware of a specific bug that could cause those
particular symptoms.

Hi Stefano, please see the Troubleshooting Chapter 7 of the Server and Domain

not great, because it goes to the System Log, so you don't want to leave it

When the prices of crude oil, food, metals and gold skyrocketed in 2008 and singed our wallets, they said it's because of a 'commodities boom'.
With prices having nosedived to multi-year lows in May, have commodities gone bust? More importantly, will we get to pay less for these primary building blocks of our world? Not so fast.

Books provided to all newborns at the Birth Center at Robinson Memorial hospital
Target recently awarded a $2,000 grant to the Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation in support of the Robinson Reads program which provides books to all newborns at the Birth Center at Robinson Memorial and to all children ages six months to five years of age during well-child visits at Robinson Health Affiliates, Inc., offices.
Fifty percent of a child's brain development occurs between birth and age four, according to Reach Out and Read, a nationally-recognized organization which promotes early literacy. Robinson Reads coordinates its efforts closely with Reach Out and Read, which is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
"Robinson Reads encourages parents to spend time with their children and helps children develop an interest in books and learning," said Deborah Solan, executive director of the Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation. "Local physician offices are the ideal place to distribute books because the doctor has an ongoing relationship with the family and is concerned with the child's cognitive development."
About 6,500 well-child visits take place annually in Portage County.
Since 1946, Target has given more than $3 million every week to the communities it serves. Target is proud to partner with organizations like Robinson Memorial Hospital to meet the needs of local communities, according to their community relations department.

Long story short: Once (many years ago) I ran into a bad serial
cable. It was a 'factory supplied' cable so I didn't think it could be bad,
but it was. I've been out of this game for long enough to've forgotten the
intricacies of command line IOBYTE setting, but you might want to confirm
that your problem is not poor connectors/cable by temporarily using a
known-good cable in its place.

Cain's Legal Team: The Bopp Connection
Herman Cain's handling of his first major crisis as a Republican presidential candidate – revelations that he was accused in the 1990s of sexual harassment — has brought heat on his unorthodox campaign operation.
Cain has has so far done without many of the campaign basics, such as daily strategy sessions or conference calls, the Wall Street Journal reported.
More to Law Blog's interest, the operation has also done without old Washington hands or Biglaw hotshots that are usually found at the legal core of a presidential campaign, for worse or for better.
General counsel Scott Bieniek, 29 years old, has roughly three years of experience as a licensed attorney, outside his work for the campaign. Including Bieniek (pictured), the campaign's internal legal team numbers three, and all previously worked for James Bopp Jr., the Indiana lawyer who brought (and won) Citizens United v. F.E.C. The case made it easier for corporations and unions to spend unrestricted amounts of money in election campaigns.
Sarah Troupis, who oversees the campaign's legal volunteers, and Bieniek were the lead associates on Doe v. Reed, which Bopp lost in the Supreme Court. The 2010 decision paved the way for the disclosure of the names of those who petitioned to place a referendum on the Washington state ballot opposing same-sex marriage.
"To be involved in case of that importance, working hard to put it together, is a pretty big achievement, I think," Bopp said, adding that he had "no second thoughts" about Bieniek's ability as campaign general counsel.
Bieniek, a 2008 graduate of University of Illinois College of Law, recently brought Joseph LaRue aboard the campaign as deputy general counsel. LaRue and Troupis earned their law degrees from University of Notre Dame in 2006.
Bieniek declined to comment on specific aspects of his work, saying only that it was typical of any $6 million corporation.
The campaign's outside counsel is Sarah Troupis' father, Jim Troupis, a well-known business litigator in Madison, Wis. He is representing tea party groups in a state Supreme Court challenge to regulations on campaign advertising and other communications.
The challenge drew national attention this year, when Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, whom Troupis had represented in an election recount, declined to recuse himself. In September, Prosser agreed to step aside.

The B School On Your Desk
How online management courses can accelerate a career climb
You need some training in corporate finance to get you ready for your next move up the ladder. But rather than travel to a business school's executive program for several weeks, you sit down at your computer and log on to UNext.com, an online management education center.
In a trice, you're transported to a role-playing game: Asset Valuation. You're a new employee at Panhandle Energy, and your boss has asked you to figure out which of four different oil fields the company should invest in. He thinks you should use the net present value method to estimate profit potential. The chief financial officer prefers you to use the internal rate of return. Which is better? To find out, UNext takes you to learning modules with such names as "future value" and "perpetuities."
Welcome to the virtual classroom. Asset Valuation is the first in a series of five online courses that make up the corporate finance curriculum at UNext.com's Cardean University. UNext is one of scores of companies trying to move executive education out of the classroom and on to the Net. It's difficult to comparison-shop these courses--most are only marketed to companies for in-house training sessions, at $500 per person and up. But if you are a corporate employee and have yet to take a course online, you're bound to do so sometime soon.
"ENGAGING." Companies, which pay for most of the management education in the U.S., spend more than half their training budgets on travel and housing just to get instructors and students in the same room. Then there's time off the job. In this whirlwind economy, enterprises are reluctant to give up an employee for a two- or three-week course. "It's time, not money, that's the precious commodity in business these days," says Jeff Oberlin, vice-president for course development and sourcing at Motorola University.
The best online courses are better than classroom teaching. You'll find them rich in multimedia and full of role-playing and real-life simulations. Look at a course in situational leadership offered by Ninth House Network, for example. You're running a mine during the California Gold Rush and need to fire your foreman. Much of the six-hour course is a movie with endings that differ depending on your decisions. If you make the wrong choice, your electronic mentor explains why and returns you to the appropriate decision point.
You can customize e-courses to your own learning style, calling up video clips of noted professors or industry pundits, if that's your wish, or dig out the details on your own if you're the quantitative type. You can skip parts you already know. Many courses require collaboration among students, which you can handle by phone or e-mail, for some assignments. If you get stumped, there's usually a live instructor to field your queries by e-mail.
If you have a choice, don't sell the online courses short. First Union offers both live and online versions of the situational leadership course, and sees a significantly higher retention level for the online version. "It's engaging," says John W. Parker, dean of the New Leadership college at the 32,000-employee financial-services company in Charlotte, N.C. "We have people months later talking about the characters as if they're characters from Seinfeld." The teaching is more consistent, too, he says. "There's no such thing as an instructor having a bad day." Ironically, corporate educators say, some of the worst online courses are from the top-ranked B-schools, which offer little more than text-on-screen versions of books and manuals, and live video streams of their classroom talking heads. The B-schools don't get it yet.
Online education is not for everyone. Some hands-on skills, such as presentation or communications proficiency, require attention to eye contact and body language, talents better mastered in face-to-face encounters. And tech-based learning has been slow to move up the corporate ladder, in part because older managers are less comfortable with computers and the Net than younger ones. But for execs who are comfortable with PCs and the Web, the virtual classroom offers learning, entertainment, and cost savings. That's one powerful combination.

Cal Weaver's wife, Emily, wants a divorce. She also banged another dude that she works with. David Lindhagen is his name. Within the first 10-15 minutes, Cal (Steve Carrell) is divorced from Emily (Julianne Moore) and getting dating and style lessons from the nicest "should-be-a-douche-but-isn't" alpha male on the planet in the form of Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling.) You're going to be alright with this scenario because Crazy, Stupid, Love is not too crazy, more silly than stupid, and lovely.
This is a flick where everything good about movies comes together in a wonderful, though just shy of sublime, kind of way. Steve Carell brings his signature awkward warmth to create Cal Weaver – poster child for the modern, dispassionate gentleman perfectly at ease with wearing New Balance sneakers with a pair of khakis (I'm no clothes horse but I shuddered when I first saw this on screen) and a shirt and tie. He's the kind of guy just waiting for midlife crisis to hit him but his wife has one hit her first. Julianne Moore as Emily Weaver could have easily been written as somebody to hate and a lesser actress could've let the role down as written. Luckily Moore instills a need to identify with a character who, along with her spouse though he doesn't know it, lost herself somewhere in the middle of all the day to day drudgery professional and parental life affords. There's spoilery reasons as to why that hits them a bit harder than most so you'll just have to trust me when I say it's not for shallow bullshit reasons that Emily slips up.
The way Jacob Palmer finds himself mixed up with Cal is at first, a bit unbelievable. The manner in which Jacob offers his services is seemingly too altruistic a move for the character; meeting what Ryan Gosling made when he first hits on Emma Stone's Hannah, the dude just seems like a sleaze that's probably riddled with crabs who have syphilis. Yet despite that, you accept Jacob approaching this schlub of a wrecked man and wanting to help him because Jacob never actually does anything could be construed as mean spirited. Sure, he's a womanizer but he's respectful and though he'll badger a girl until she walks away, he knows to let her walk away…which only happens once in the movie.
There are two things that keep this movie from falling into the pit of rom-com Heigel Hell. Actually, make that three things. Obviously the first is that Katherine Heigel is nowhere to be seen. Secondly, touching on the topic of talent again – the three leads all brought their A game obviously – the supporting cast includes performances that feel at home in both dramatic and comedic fashions. Notables are Marissa Tomei who plays a less pathetic and funnier version of the character she played in What Women Want. Emma Stone continues to balance adorably hot with spot on physical and verbal comedic timing in a way that should only be allowed in men's daydreams. I really don't know how she does it.
The Bacon known as Kevin makes an appearance as somebody you should hate but never really do but probably the biggest props to secondary roles go to Analeigh Tipton and Jonah Bobo. The baby sitter, Jessica Riley and the son, Robbie Weaver, respectively put on some great performances. Even though Tipton's resume is a bit green, she does awkward, lovelorn teenager quite well. Bobo's a child actor and the rough edges show – a lot of his performance doesn't feel quite natural – still, there's something undeniably charming about the kid that assures he'll improve his craft.
The third thing is that plot stays interesting. You can phone in most Hollywood love stories and it's true that this has its share of those moments but those moments are saved by the actors performances every time. Clever plot points pop up just when you need something a little extra to keep the movie from losing its audience.
The only notable kink in the movie is that even though there some truly clever moments in plot development, there are some very awkward set pieces that pulled me out of the movie. The last scene in particular was just so damn silly that I wanted it to go away. It was like a kid who just discovered his sense of "humor" and wants to impress your friends with it, that kind of awkward; just lock it in a room until it settles down. And on a whole, the dialogue is top notch but there are some tired pieces of word candy getting spurt out every so often as to remind us that yeah, this is still a Hollywood love story.
I can forgive all those little nitpicks because Crazy, Stupid, Love manages to be likable while humorously looking at problems that anybody long term relationship can understand. Sometimes good things just get broken if you don't keep up with the maintenance schedule. There aren't bad guys in situations like that, just people in a shitty situation and this movie understood that. So, yeah, definitely see this if you had been wanting to see this or need a date night movie. You could probably wait until it came out on Netflix otherwise but as it stands, approved and recommended.

peugeot 306 fuel pump locking ring doesnt seem to fit... Are
This answer was rated:
I have just bought a peugeot 306 W reg 2000 2.0 HDI and the previous owner had fitted a new fuel pump.
I had a problem with a fuel leak and was advised to check the seal on the pump which meant removing the pump. Tried to refit the locking ring but it doesnt seem to fit... Are there more that one thread type?
It just seems TOO small, only slightly though
Is there a "special" way of refitting it?
If there is more than one type do you know the peugeot part number

This is a common concern when removing these style pumps.
The thread is likely correct, but there are two things that add to the difficulty in installing the ring. First, as you noticed, the pump modules are spring loaded, adding tension against the lockring, adding difficulty. In addition to this, if you are working with a plastic fuel tank and do not reinstall the ring immediately after removing the pump, the tank will distort on a warm day ever so slightly, making installation difficult as well.
You can verify the thread is correct by removing the pump and installing just the ring. It should be significantly easier to get it threaded, verifying it does in fact fit.
If your tank uses the (approx) 3/4 inch tall U channel gasket at the top of the pump module, try installing the gasket to the tank first, then sliding the pump into it, rather than installing the gasket on the pump. This will also make life easier if you have the U channel style gasket (and not O-ring style).
Lastly, during install, if possible find someone to help hold firm pressure on the pump module for you, then spin the ring counterclockwise 1/8 turn then forward to make it catch. If it does not, turn it further counterclockwise then forward, so you are attempting to start at a different point on the lip.

tried the spinning counter clockwise it just doesn't catch. If i press on the ring it does catch with a bit of pressure but then when it does screw on its uneven and doesn't seem to be catching along one edge.
Mine is the U channel gasket and I did what you suggested, Its as if the thread doesn't have a start on the the tank as its not actually catching on the tank unless its pushed on and thats causing cross threading..
There is an arrow on the locking ring but which way should it point and at what?

If you take the pump module out and attempt to install the ring without the pump?
The ring should be standard screw-on style threading.
Regarding the arrow, is it pointing inward or outward? Sometimes there will be a paintmark on the (original) pump module to align an inward arrow with. I don't believe it is used that often anymore as the first time you take the pump out, the paintmark usually washes away. Also the screw-type design does not require a particular location in any event. I have not come across one like that in a few years.

I didn't fancy removing the pump again, it was full of fuel and removing it was very messy!
The pump itself has a green bit of plastic (looks riveted) to the top with 2 green arrows, I don;t know what they indicate though.
Would going over a bump in the road cause the lockring to come slightly off causing a major diesel leak with 1/2 a tank £25 of fuel in the tank
replied 6 years ago.
I can understand not wanting to take it out again, the point was just to show that it will thread on with less effort that way. Afterall, it was installed initially.
I'm not sure what you are describing riveted to the top, but there is typically two arrows indicating flow direction at the fuel ports on the module.
Once the ring is installed, it will not come off by accident. It will turn usually two full turns and with great effort to go on or off. If your ring was loose when you removed it, perhaps you do in fact have the wrong ring there, although I would question how it got there in the first place!
Hitting a bump should by no means cause any type of spill from anywhere, including the pump module/ring.
It is possible, being a new-to-you car, that the pump was replaced prior to sale and the ring was too difficult for the previous owner/technician to install correctly as well, causing it to come loose from the bump you mentioned since it was not installed correctly.

The car went into the garage today and neither a new ring or the old wing would fit.
It would appear that the bottom part of the ring edge was catching on the lower thread on the tank pushing it upwards when they were trying to screw it downwards.
The garage ground about 1mm off the bottom of the ring and it screwed on perfectly.

That is very interesting. The tanks do sometimes warp a bit causing issues, haven't heard of anything like that though!
Thanks for the followup info!

The Warriors are expected to get a boost from the return of Andre Iguodala on Friday night, but they'll be without David Lee, according to head coach Mark Jackson.
Lee, who is averaging 18.5 points and 9.4 rebounds, left Saturday's loss to San Antonio with a right hamstring strain and hasn't participated in any live practices since.
"He's getting treatment, recovering, resting and getting closer," Jackson said. "He still has not done anything live in practice, so there's no way he'll play tonight. We'll see how he feels tomorrow and moving forward."
Jackson wasn't yet ready to reveal whether he'll start Draymond Green or Jermaine O'Neal at power forward against Memphis, which features big men Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph.
"With all due respect, it doesn't matter whether David can go or not, when you're talking about the problems they create," Jackson said of the Grizzlies' frontline. "They're as good as it gets at the 4-5 position. They have a body of work. With their ability to score, their ability to rebound and their extremely high IQs, I don't think they're just a problem for us. They're a problem for the league."
Iguodala has missed the past three games with knee tendinitis, a problem that will hamper him for the rest of the season. Jackson said the swingman won't have a minutes limit, but they'll have to consistently monitor the injury.
"He does things to put us in position to win ballgames: his instincts, he's a big-time defender, a big-time playmaker, another guy who can handle the basketball and we can run offense through," Jackson said. "He does a lot of things that make us a better team. We miss him when he's not there. Even though, the majority of the time, it does not jump off of a stat sheet, he's valuable. …
"It's important to not push him in practice, to make sure he gets the proper treatment and rest and to be in constant contact with him on off days and in game situations. He's a guy who's a gamer, and he's going to play hurt. We have to use wisdom and be sure that he's careful with it, but this time of year, everybody has something."

Alibaba Said to Get Part One of China Development Bank Loan
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. is getting about $1 billion in a loan from China Development Bank Corp. to help finance the privatization of its Hong Kong-listed unit, which said it would delist today, two people familiar with the matter said.
The three-year loan of about $1 billion from China Development Bank is the first portion of a two-part financing package provided by the Chinese lender, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details are private. The size of the second portion of the loan from CDB hasn't been determined and may have a tenor of four years, the people said.
John Spelich, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for Alibaba, declined to comment when asked about the financing today by phone.
The financing from CDB replaces a bridge loan provided by a syndicate of international lenders, the people said. Alibaba signed a $3 billion loan with a syndicate of 19 banks on June 12, two other people familiar with the matter said at the time. That loan is split into a $2 billion bridge loan and a $1 billion three-year term loan.
Alibaba bid HK$13.50 ($1.74) a share for the 27 percent of Alibaba.com Ltd. it doesn't already own, according to a Feb. 21 Hong Kong Stock Exchange statement. Alibaba.com was to withdrew the listing of its shares at 4 p.m. Hong Kong time, according to an exchange filing earlier today.
Some of the money that Alibaba is borrowing from the syndicate of international lenders and CDB will also be used to help finance a buyback of an about 20 percent stake of Alibaba owned by Yahoo! Inc., according to one of the people who spoke today.

Sunday's letters: Role models
Published: Sunday, December 22, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 20, 2013 at 3:16 p.m.
To the editor: Thank you so much for the inspiring story of Carrie Medley, the valedictorian at the Blue Ridge Community College graduation ceremony. What a marvelous woman she must be to "gut it out" in the face of overwhelming odds and accomplish all she has, and aspires to be in the future.
There were probably similar stories of grit and determination among the other graduates as well. What a pleasant contrast to the arrogant overpaid athletes, the smarmy rich televangelists, the sleazy politicians and spoiled entertainers — the people our society often admires and idolizes.
People like Carrie are the true heroes and heroines we all should emulate and use as our role models. The rest of the news you reported that day seemed inconsequential and dull compared with this story. Thanks for sharing it with your readers.

It's an outrage
To the editor: To the good people of Hendersonville who love and care about the animals in their lives — in this case, dogs — who leave an imprint on us years later that we can never forget:
John Heine Jr. recently wrote a letter to the editor to the Times-News about a neighbor's dog left neglected and in desperate condition with no hope of rescue, a life of isolation and pain. I'm outraged. I would hope that there are others out there who feel the same.
Helen Grammer
Meadows' vote
To the editor: Mark Meadows voted no to the bipartisan appropriations bill diligently designed with reasonable compromise by Republican Congressman Paul Ryan and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, who chair their respective House and Senate budget committees.
Do Meadows and his tea party colleagues hope to contrive another government shutdown to damage our economy further and again bring international shame to our country?
The budget bill passed in the House by a 332-to-94 majority because more thoughtful, conservative Republican House members supported the legislation.
It has now passed the Senate, again with some Republican support.
Meadows told us, when elected, he would bring this district more and better jobs by reducing business regulations and providing tax incentives to corporations. Apparently, that approach hasn't worked. Why has so much new corporate investment gone 60 miles south to our neighbors in South Carolina? Why is the substantial job growth in North Carolina ending up in the Triangle, Charlotte and the Central Piedmont? Does Meadows really represent the people of this district who elected him?
Perhaps Meadows should stop taking directions from his Ferrari millionaire friends and pay some attention to that humble and wise fellow living in Rome who drives a Ford Focus.
Norbert Artzt
Leader needed
To the editor: The gerrymandering gossamer continues to hook his wagon to the tea party star as he voted "no" in the recent House vote to bring sanity to the United States Congress.
Congressman Mark Meadows made the national news during the government shutdown. Wonderful for him. Wasted 24 billion of our dollars, but who cares? Fiscal management? What's the tea party mission? Reduce waste? Well, maybe next time.
Citizens of District 11, is there any hope that a responsible Republican is in our midst to oppose Mark Meadows in the next primary? This is a subject for prayer.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge Websites
The definitive home of Coleridge information on the Web. Marjorie A. Tiefert at the University of Virginia did seriously good work here. Worth noting is the dictionary that translates words in Coleridge's vocabulary that are rarely used in ours.
This website is a helpful introduction to the Romantics. Start with their overview to the Romantic era and then move on to the individual biographies of Coleridge, Wordsworth, and other major players. Links to the poems and critical essays about Coleridge are also available on this site.
The only requirement for membership in the Friends of Coleridge, a U.K.-based non-profit, is interest in the life and works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. You can attend conferences, learn about Coleridge-themed events, and take a virtual tour of Coleridge's former home in Nether Stowey.
Coleridge is a challenging read, and so it helps to hear what other scholars have to say about him. This site has an index of critical essays and reviews about Coleridge, all of which are available online. This is a helpful guide to secondary sources if you're doing an in-depth paper on Coleridge.
The e-text warehouse Bartleby offers the Coleridge entry in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. It is helpful for choosing quotes or passages to study further, but don't use this page to bluff your way out of not having read "Christabel."
Friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge! His Facebook page is a quasi-international meeting place for Coleridge fans scattered around the world. Join one of the ongoing discussions if you can't get enough of your favorite Romantic poet. (Just don't unfriend him—Coleridge took slights hard.)

Peaches Slices Organic
The peach (Prunus persica) is known as a species of Prunus native to China that bears an edible juicy fruit also called a peach. It is a deciduous tree growing to 5–10 m tall, belonging to the subfamily Prunoideae of the family Rosaceae. It is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus within the genus Prunus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell. The leaves are lanceolate, 7–15 cm long (3–6 in), 2–3 cm broad, pinnately veined. The flowers are produced in early spring before the leaves; they are solitary or paired, 2.5–3 cm diameter, pink, with five petals. The fruit has yellow or whitish flesh, a delicate aroma, and a skin that is either velvety (peaches) or smooth (nectarines) in different cultivars. The flesh is very delicate and easily bruised in some cultivars, but is fairly firm in some commercial varieties, especially when green. The single, large seed is red-brown, oval shaped, approximately 1.3–2 cm long, and is surrounded by a wood-like husk. Peaches, along with cherries, plums and apricots, are stone fruits (drupes). The tree is small, and up to 15 ft tall. The scientific name persica, along with the word "peach" itself and its cognates in many European languages, derives from an early European belief that peaches were native to Persia (now Iran). The modern botanical consensus is that they originate in China, and were introduced to Persia and the Mediterranean region along the Silk Road before Christian times.[1] Cultivated peaches are divided into clingstones and freestones, depending on whether the flesh sticks to the stone or not; both can have either white or yellow flesh. Peaches with white flesh typically are very sweet with little acidity, while yellow-fleshed peaches typically have an acidic tang coupled with sweetness, though this also varies greatly. Both colours often have some red on their skin. Low-acid white-fleshed peaches are the most popular kinds in China, Japan, and neighbouring Asian countries, while Europeans and North Americans have historically favoured the acidic, yellow-fleshed kinds. Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified.

FILE - In this Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013 file photo, Syrian opposition coalition leader Mouaz al-Khatib speaks during a press conference with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, not pictured, following an international conference on Syria at Villa Madama, Rome. The leader of the Western-based Syrian opposition coalition has resigned, citing frustrations with the body's ability to advance the fight against President Bashar Assad. Khatib said in a statement posted on his Facebook page Sunday that he
