To encourage employers to provide a tax qualified retirement plan, and to encourage employees to participate in such retirement plans, the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") provides tax incentives to both employers and employees. To receive these tax advantages, the retirement plan must satisfy certain requirements. Generally, any failure to meet these requirements may result in the "disqualification" of the retirement plan, which would result in the retroactive loss of tax deductions for the employer, retroactive income for an employee, taxation of plan earnings and loss of the employee's ability to rollover a distribution from the plan to avoid current taxation.
If an employer unintentionally fails to comply with the qualification requirements of the IRC with respect to its plan, the employer may be able to avoid disqualification of the retirement plan if the failure is corrected using the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System ("EPCRS").
King & Spalding has assisted many clients in correcting retirement plan failures using EPCRS. We thought it would be helpful to include a Q&A in the newsletter to assist you in determining what failures to comply can, and cannot, be corrected using the EPCRS.
Below is our first installment of what will be an ongoing Q&A in our Compensation and Benefits Insights Newsletter. We encourage you to email your questions to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will attempt to address your questions in future newsletters. Obviously, we cannot provide specific advice in a newsletter article, but we will provide general information to assist you in answering your questions about EPCRS.
For reference, the current EPCRS guidance is contained in IRS Revenue Procedure 2013-12.
Question: Can an employer "self-correct" a compliance failure in a tax qualified retirement plan without a formal submission to the IRS?
Answer: An employer may self-correct certain "operational failures" made during the administration of a tax qualified retirement plan and maintain the tax qualified status of such plan without submitting any information to the IRS. Generally, to be eligible for self-correction, a plan must have received a Favorable Determination Letter from the IRS and have operational procedures in place that are intended to prevent the failure from occurring.
An "operational failure" is a failure that occurs during the administration of the plan, but the terms of the plan with regard to such failure comply with the applicable IRC requirements. For example, an operational failure would occur if a 401(k) plan document prohibited a participant from contributing an amount in excess of the IRC 402(g) limit (which is $17,500 for 2014) but, due to a payroll error, the participant exceeded such deferral limit.
There are two types of operational failures that may be self-corrected, significant and insignificant. If an operational failure is determined to be insignificant, the correction can be made at any time (as long as it is made within a reasonable time after it is discovered). If an operational failure is determined to be significant, the correction must be substantially completed by the last day of the second plan year following the plan year in which the significant operational failure occurred (with certain limitations). Note that this correction period is based on the occurrence of the failure, not on the date it is discovered.
In determining whether an operational failure is insignificant, an employer must consider (but is not limited to) the following seven factors:
For example: Employer X sponsors a profit-sharing plan. During an audit, the employer discovers that, due to a payroll error, three of the 250 plan participants received contributions in excess of the limits allowed by the plan and the IRC during a plan year. Employer X contributed $3,500,000 to the plan for the plan year and the amount of the excess contributions totaled $4,550. There were no other operational failures made during the plan year. After considering all of the required factors, the employer determined that the operational failure was insignificant because the number of participants affected relative to the total number of participants who could have been affected was only 1.2% and the monetary amount of the failure relative to the total employer contribution was only .13%. The employer corrected the error within a reasonable time after discovery of the failure.
To correct an operational failure, the employer must generally fully correct the failure, which means the plan and the affected participants must be put in the same place they would have been had the failure not occurred. This could require the employer to make additional contributions to the plan. However the failure is corrected, we strongly suggest employers draft a detailed memorandum on the determination of whether the failure was insignificant or significant, how the correction was made and how the correction method was determined.
In certain instances, a "full" correction of the operational failure may not be required. For example, if a corrective distribution due a participant is $75 or less and the cost of processing and delivering the distribution is greater than $75, the plan sponsor is not required to make the corrective distribution.

Cold cash just keeps washing in from ALS challenge
In the couple of hours it took an official from the ALS Association to return a reporter's call for comment, the group's ubiquitous "ice bucket challenge" had brought in a few million more dollars.
Approaching $100 million, the viral fundraising campaign for the ailment better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease has put the ALS group into the top ranks for medical charity donations. Since the end of July, the money has been sloshing in at a rate of about $9 million a week. In 2013, from July 29 to Aug. 26, the group raised just $2.6 million.
It's caught everyone off-guard, none more so than the ALS Association folks. But they know this is likely a one-time phenomenon, and the group now faces the task of spending all that money wisely. Research, care and advocacy are the group's three main missions, but officials say they don't know yet exactly how they'll use the astonishing windfall.
"I think even if I or any PR person at either a nonprofit or a for-profit company had all of the PR dollars in the world to invest, no one would have come up with this idea," said Carrie Munk, the association's spokeswoman. "We realize there are responsibilities that come with being good stewards of these dollars."
Part of what's surprising is that ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is one of those "orphan" diseases. It is a neurodegenerative disease that causes paralysis and death, and the association estimates that about 5,600 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.
This campaign hasn't exactly put the charity in the same neighborhood as giants like the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association or Susan G. Komen for the Cure -- which raised $889 million, $529 million and $310 million in 2013, respectively. But it's moving into the same ZIP code now.
"People who have been in this space for a long period of time feel like it's a dream come true," Munk said.
In case you've been under the proverbial rock, here are the basic rules: Someone issues a challenge -- that you allow yourself to be doused with a bucket of ice and water, like winning coaches along the sidelines. Then, the challenge has 24 hours to make a $100 donation to the ALS Association or submit to the water torture.
And now others are co-opting the bucket challenge for their own causes. Actor Matt Damon, for instance, dumped toilet water over his head to call attention to his passion -- safe drinking water. Actor Orlando Jones of the television series "Sleepy Hollow" showered himself with bullets in the wake of black teenager Michael Brown's shooting death by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo.
"I'm challenging myself to listen without prejudice," Jones said.

Splash proof, dust proof??????
I bought this because it said it was splash proof, moisture proof and dust proof. I suppose that's true if the cover stays on, but it doesn't. You would have thought the cover would somehow snap on or be very secure but it just slips on AND off very easily. Put it in your pocket and off comes the cover! This is going to get lost real fast and then so much for proof this and proof that. More like Poof, and it's gone.

On Tap Today: Super Bowl bites
It's time to come to the "acceptance" phase of the greiving process - the Packers will not be in the Super Bowl this year. So try to look on the bright side - you won't have to stress out so much during the game, allowing you to better concentrate on what's truly the most important aspect of any Super Bowl Sunday, the food.
And in that department, the Bay View Community Center (1320 E. Oklahoma Ave.) has you covered. From 6:30 to 9 p.m. tonight it's hosting a Super Bowl party cooking class. For $16 you can learn how to make five different varieties of wings--classic buffalo, Carribbean jerk, honey-habernero pepper, spicy Korean and parmesean garlic--as well as homemade cracked pepper potato chips with onion dip, and the unofficial state snack, beer and cheese fondue with soft pretzels. And you'll be to taste these snacks of the class of course, and there'll be soda, beer and coffee to help you wash it down. And raffle prizes. »Read Full Blog Post

The Answer to Fear Of Being Alone. Fast, Effective and Guaranteed
Feelings of dread? Overwhelming thoughts? Rapid heartbeat? Tunnel Vision? Or worse? Since 2002 we have worked with countless folks from all walks of life and we know for sure: there's no question you can overcome fear of being alone.
If you are ready to put this behind you once and for all, here's what we offer at CTRN:
- Fear of being alone better or gone in as little as a day
- Absolute anonymity and complete discretion
- Clients in over 70 countries around the world
How Do You Get Started?
There are two programs we offer to help you overcome fear of being alone fast. Our programs are designed to help you do it yourself with the Home Study program or get board-certified help with our one-on-one program:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
Order as Boxed CD's & Workbook or Download the Program Now
• Download Now and Start Immediately
• Privately Work at Your Own Speed
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Custom Program Developed for you by Your Expert Practitioner
• Board-Certified Practitioner
• Fast, Personalized & Proven System to Get Rid of the Root of the Fear
How the Program Works: Getting Over Fear of Being Alone
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. Consciously, you know your fear of being alone doesn't make logical sense. If it did everyone would have it. But it affects you because your unconscious mind has associated solitude with fear and perhaps a bunch of other negative emotions and they get triggered automatically – like clockwork – every time.
Until now, you just haven't had the techniques for re-programming those connections. We're here to teach the techniques to you. Interested in putting these techniques to use?
- Want to discuss your options? Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
The Only Real Solution to Your Fear
Unlike other solutions, we don't promise you a cure for your fear. Modifying your awareness is a technique you have to learn to master for yourself. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. You have dealt with these emotions haunting you long enough. Harmful thinking isn't helping – you need to make some serious changes now.
Vanquish Fear of Being Alone Today.
Where Your Fear of Being Alone Comes From
An really disturbing incident from the past, is often (though, not always) the root cause of Fear Of Being Alone. The mind will, in some situations, generate the fear without an apparent cause. The key is digging down to the source and replacing negative associations with more positive emotions. Those at greatest risk include:
• People with a general tendency towards fear and anxiety
• Someone considered to be 'easily upset'
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency
Do those, in any way, represent you? See what others like you are saying about working with us.
You can also read what the media has to say.
The Warning Signs You Should be Looking For
You can use our two minute Fear of Being Alone Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: The time to act is now, if this phobia is causing negativity in your life.
- Does the thought of Solitude make you nauseous?
- Do you instantly get dry mouth and moist palms?
- Does your heart feel like it's going to pound right out of your chest?
- Do your legs turn to rubber?
These are just a few of the most common things people experience. Click here to see more symptoms of fear of being alone.
We can help you get rid of not just the symptoms, but the cause. That's why we're here
Drugs and Prescriptions
We strongly believe that drugs are not a good solution for any Autophobe, but you should always follow your physician's advice with regard to drugs/meds and Fear of Being Alone. Meds may seem to help in the short-term by temporarily improving your symptoms, but the problem is that they can never cure the core issue of the fearful patterns of thinking that are the automatic reaction to solitude and which trigger the intense feelings of fear.
No drug has ever been developed specifically for Fear Of Being Alone, by the way – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is with our system you will vanquish your Fear Of Being Alone, without drugs..

Sykes and Curtis McGregor rushed for first-quarter touchdowns to put Bakersfield (11-2) in control of the game, but the defense created four key turnovers after that, two of which prevented scores by San Francisco (10-2) and two of which created touchdowns for the Renegades.
Bakersfield's offensive and defensive lines were both outstanding, particularly in the first quarter when the Renegades built their early lead and outgained CCSF, 180-16, in total yards. After playoff victories in which Bakersfield rushed for 407 and 211 yards against Ventura and Mt. San Antonio, respectively, the Renegades continued that theme with 295 yards against the Rams. And the Bakersfield defense sacked CCSF quarterback Andrew Spivey five times and had him scrambling out of the pocket at least a dozen more times.
And the Renegades won despite an outstanding effort by Kyani Harris, who caught and astounding total of 20 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns as San Francisco tried to pass its way back into the game. But the Bakersfield defense made key plays when it had to, intercepting Spivey twice near the goal line and stopping CCSF on downs three times in the fourth quarter to preserve the victory.
Bakersfield scored the game's first touchdown on a 9-yard run by McGregor with 6:13 left in the first quarter, which capped a 6-play, 65-yard drive. Sykes scored the Renegades' second touchdown of the game on a 42-yard run just over four minutes later, capping a quick, 5-play, 75-yard drive. At that point CCSF had punted twice after failing to gain a first down on either of its own possessions.
And it could have been even worse for San Francisco as Bakersfield drove to the Ram 26 after receiving the opening kickoff before the drive stalled. And while San Francisco punted the ball away twice, the outstanding Sam Irwin Hill booted punts of 52 and 57 yards, with no returns of either of those right-footed rugby-style kicks.
San Francisco finally gained a first down on its next drive, but had to punt again. This time Hill rolled to his left and kicked a rugby-style punt, but with his left leg! This kick went 43 yards, again with no return. Hill would punt once more just before halftime, using a traditional style of punt, and it went 48 yards with enough hang time to force Bakersfield return man Marquise Johnson to make a fair catch.
After a Bakersfield punt, CCSF finally put together a drive, entering Renegade territory and threatening to score. But after reaching the Regenade 13, the Rams lost the ball when Alfonso Jackson intercepted Spivey near the goal line with 10:58 left in the second quarter. That led to an 8-play, 80-yard drive for the Renegades, highlighted by a 31-yard run by Sykes and capped with a 14-yard scoring pass from Brian Burrell to Mike Dunn that made it 21-0 midway through the second quarter.
And moments later it got even worse for San Francisco when Spivey took his eyes off a shotgun snap and lost the ball. Bakersfield's John Oglesby picked the ball up off the turf at the CCSF 39 and took it the distance, giving the Renegades a commanding 28-0 lead with 5:50 left in the first half.
San Francisco finally got on the board when Spivey connected with Harris for the first of two 56-yard touchdown passes with 5:02 left in the first half. And the Rams had hopes of getting back in the game when the second half started as they received the kickoff.
But those hopes were dashed early on when a low snap eluded Spivey and Bakersfield's Joey Stuart recovered the fumble at the CCSF 22 just 1:37 into the third quarter. Two plays later, Burrell scampered around the left side and leaped high into the air and just across the goal line for a spectacular 21-yard touchdown run that made it 35-7.
San Francisco did manage a touchdown on its next possession, another 56-yard scoring pass from Spivey to Harris, that made it 35-14. But the Rams never scored again, thanks largely to a Bakersfield defense that was able to bend without breaking in the fourth quarter.
CCSF finally started limiting Bakersfield's rushing game, forcing a fumble by Sykes, which Broughan Jantz recovered, and two Renegade punts in the final 16-plus minutes. And four times the Rams got the ball in Bakersfield territory. But CCSF came away empty each time, and Bakersfield was never really in any danger of losing its large lead.
San Francisco drove to the Bakersfield 33 late in the third quarter, but Jackson grabbed his second interception of the game inside the Renegade 10 with 2:18 left in the quarter. Then after Jantz' fumble recovery at the Bakersfield 41, the Rams reached the Renegade 15, only to turn the ball over on downs after three straight incomplete passes.
Following a Bakerfield punt, CCSF drove to the Bakersfield 10 and appeared to score, but J.J. Hudson was called for offensive pass interference, negating his touchdown catch and halting the drive, which ended when Hudson was stopped for a 10-yard gain on 4th and 20 from the 27 with 8:42 left.
CCSF got the ball back one last time at its own 6 with 4:48 left and even converted a 4th down at its own 14, but turned the ball over on downs again at the Renegade 36 after three straight incomplete passes with 1:44 left, setting off the celebration on the Bakersfield sideline.
For Bakersfield, Sykes rushed for 180 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries to earn Most Valuable Player honors. McGregor added 68 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown. Burrell completed 9 of 19 passes for 134 yards and a touchdown, carried the ball 3 times for 49 yards and a score, and did not commit a turnover in an excellent game-management performance.
And the Renegade defense had many standouts. Oglesby garnered Defensive Player of the Game honors, returning the fumble for the touchdown in the second quarter. Jackson had the two key interceptions. Keylon Hollis had two of Bakersfield's five quarterback sacks. And big Clinton Carter had a sack and was a visible presence much of the afternoon.
For San Francisco, Harris had a truly outstanding game with the 20 catches for 266 yards and a pair of 56-yard touchdown catches. Spivey completed 27 of 50 passes for 357 yards and 2 touchdowns, though he was also intercepted twice deep in Bakersfield territory. But the Ram rushing attack was limited, as Kristoffer Olugbode, who entered the game with 1636 yards and 19 touchdowns, had just 63 yards on 14 carries and no touchdowns against Bakersfield.
The win gives Bakersfield its 6th state championship. The others were in 1953, 1959, 1961, 1976 and 1988 so this is the Renegades' first win in an actual state championship game. Bakersfield finishes 11-2 with 9 straight wins, with impressive playoff wins against previously-unbeaten Ventura, 5-time defending SoCal champion Mt. San Antonio and now perennial powerhouse San Francisco.
Despite the loss, the appearance in the championship game continues a remarkable Northern California dynasty for City College of San Francisco and coach George Rush. The Rams have now appeared in 13 of the 16 state championship games since the event was established in 1997, all of which has happened under Coach Rush. The Rams have won 7 state championships for Rush, including 6 wins in the state championship game and one more in 1994 when the Rams finished atop the poll and then beat NJCAA champion Blinn (TX) in what was officially an exhibition game.

This started as the 509th blog post comparing Pivotal Tracker and Trello (345 unique Google hits for "Pivotal Tracker vs. Trello", and 163 for "Trello vs. Pivotal Tracker") but I kept obsessing about a few UI issues with Pivotal that, a month into using it at a new job, are still driving me crazy.
Accidental Projector Mode
After I wrote a first draft of this post, a colleague asked "Wait, where is the little arrow to expand the story? Your Pivvy looks weird." It turns out…my first day, I put Pivotal into "projector mode" while playing around and promptly forgot I had done so.
This had several terrible side effects.
It removed the tiny arrow on each story that allows you to expand it in-column. Therefore, every time I wanted to view a story, I had to let it take over the entire screen. Also, Pivotal doesn't allow for "command-click" opening in a new tab. Imagine trying to use Pivotal Tracker this way, when the thing you do most is drill into particular stories and then return to the project view. It was horrible.
Another fun projector mode behavior – double clicking a story takes over the entire window with that story. To return to the project I have to click back. Two full page loads. I'm happy to report that outside of projector mode, it just expands the story.
Opening multiple tabs
Even with the projector mode mystery solved, I often want to open multiple cards/stories at the same time. Why?
- I've written the same thing down in different ways on multiple stories in the same epic, and I want to consolidate it.
- Sometimes I can't remember which of several stories contains a certain requirement.
- Someone stops by my desk and wants to take a look at a few things, but I don't want to lose my current state.
The project view naturally constrains stories to a single column, so you can usually only expand or preview one at a time. If you get lucky and they are in adjacent columns, you have to use relatively small slides to get them positioned side by side. So all I want to do is open stories in a new tab, and let my window manager do the hard work of putting them side by side. Pivotal seems to have a Javascript click event handler that always refreshes the current page. This behavior also makes it harder to keep the original project open for reference because has been replaced by whichever story I drilled into.
And yes, preview mode works in Pivotal in the case I'm only interested in the details of one story.
Tiny Goddamn Controls
Click the tiny dialogue box on the left to open a preview mode, or click the tiny arrow to expand (or as I recently discovered after exiting projector mode, you can double click).
The similarly tiny box in the upper right allows me to select the story, and therefore multiple stories, to move to another project or similar.
Based on the clickable areas on a card – eyeballing it, "see more" and "select" are each about 1/20th of the width and 1/10th of the height. Tough to target with a mouse.
I Want Candy
- Trello allows for preview of attached images. This is hugely helpful, both in finding a familiar card, or opening the right attachment of a particular card. Pivotal does slightly modify the preview icon if the card contains attachments, which is nice. Still, being able to choose a thumbail "cover image" would make it far easier to target a familiar card.
- I loved the Card Aging option in Trello. My feeble human brain may believe we're firing on all cylinders, but this feature shows me nobody has edited a card in a long time.
More Hotkeys!
Most of the hotkeys are focused on column management.
I want story focused hotkeys: Open, close, next, previous, select, expand, jump to labels, jump to tasks, jump to comments.
Dear Pivotal Tracker Product Managers, I hope I fit into one of your target personas and this inspires you to bump a few stories out of your icebox. Thanks for reading!

I am pretty new at all of this and am wondering is there a way to find the caliber of an old rifle by using some sort of tool?
Thanks for any help.

A Cerrosafe chamber cast, and a dial caliper, along with referance books & drawings are the only "tools" I know of.
A fired case could be measured, but if you have a fired case, you probably already know what it is.

Thanks rcmodel, I think I will post some pictures of this thing and see if anyone has an idea.
It was given to me by a Great Uncle and I don't have any more info except what I found on the net.
All of the pictures are identical to the one I have but it does not say what caliber it is.
February 17, 2009, 10:16 AM
Just give us any markings you can find on it, and we can probably ID it. The Internet is a treasure trove of information.
February 17, 2009, 12:01 PM
Sometimes, a very few old guns had that calibre marking in obscure places...like on the underside of the barrel, so that you couldn't see it without taking the thing apart.
Maybe if you can post a pic or 2 that would help.

That's the only "tool" to trust if you're not positive about the history of it.Bbls can be rechambered & not marked!

i just want to let all you guys no. THANKS your a great asset to the shooting world. theirs no ? that you guys cant come up with the right answers to. and you do it with out making people feel stupid.PS the only stupid ? on THR is the ? you dont ask. like buying a new mini 14 with ser#197. when in 5 min on THR i would have known to make sure it was a #580 or higher #
February 17, 2009, 10:57 PM
Uh, thanks husker.
If you don't have a gunsmith nearby with a supply of cerrosafe, common parafin wax will work well enough. Plug the barrel tightly with a piece of paper towel in front of the chamber and pour the wax in to fill the chamber. You can then measure the casting to find out what caliber you have.

after some research I found that this was made in the Nagoya Arsenal in Japan and had the mum ground off once they surrendered so the Imperor's name would not be disgraced. According to the markings, it is a T99 OR type 99 made between 1939 and 1945. The article says. quote " The Type 99 is a variation of the Mauser design and early production models have probably one of the strongest receiver/action of any military bolt action rifles." What does this mean??
The rifle has a folding/sliding leaf sight and is in very good condition.
And the artical says it is 7.7mm.
Now do any of you know if there is a shell that will fit this or is it best to see a gunsmith to be sure it is a safe rifle?
Again thanks to all and for any more info.
February 19, 2009, 12:47 PM
Some of these rifles have been converted to 30-06. Therefore, to be safe, I'd definitely recommend you take it to a qualified gunsmith before assuming what caliber it is and whether it is safe to fire.
Congrats on the new rifle. You might want to ask your great uncle what he knows about the history of the gun.
Good luck.

Look for an importer's mark on the muzzle end of the barrel, along with the caliber. There may not be one.
Are you sure it is the Arisaka Type 99 in 7.7mm and not the Arisaka Type 38 in 6.5mm? What did you base your research on? What markings are present on the barrel and receiver, other than the missing chrysanthemum? What source did you use to determine it was a Nagoya make? Does it have the "fighting fish" mark of the Nagoya arsenal? Nagoya did NOT make many Type 99s, though they did make many Type 38s, including mine.
Does it still have the original military stocks and bands? Any accessories?
kevin murphy
February 19, 2009, 01:43 PM
Thanks, and I will definately have a gunsmith take a look.
Duke I used one of the websites and just looked at the markings and (tried) to match it up. I will have to post some pictures and see if you can identify or I will put up the serial number and the symbols.

The workout plan that will banish your bingo wings
Published 06/09/2012 | 09:41
Michelle Obama has many wonderful attributes and not to reduce her to a body part, but those arms!
Shapely and muscular the first lady is obviously proud of them as she so often gets them out at functions and on the cover of magazines.
Not that Michelle herself thinks that they're especially amazing. ""I just saw two weeks of Olympics athletes who have real arms, so I always wonder, well, what is it?" she old the iVillage website recently. "My arms do not compete with people who have 'real' arms."
But of course she's modest. Her toned arms have become inspirational to many women are battling the dreaded bingo wings and flabby upper arms.
If 48-year-old Michelle can perform all her first lady duties, raise two children and run the White House and still have time to work on those arms, what's stopping anyone else from doing so.
It's not known exactly what kind of exercises Michelle does but it's a known fact that she rises at 4.30am for her work out.
"I usually get to the gym before [Barack] does. But he is usually there either in the middle of my workout or right at the end," she says of their joint sessions. And luckily for her, she enjoys exercise.
"For me, [exercise] is a de-stresser, first and foremost," she says. She also tries to fit in her work out no matter where is. "I bring a jump rope. I can usually do some jump-roping in the hotel room," she says. "If I don't have a rope or space, I might do a 30-minute routine that includes a minute of jumping jacks, alternating with a minute of pushups and then some sit-ups. You take a 30-second break and do it again."
But experts say that the way to get beautiful arms is to combine strength-training with cardio to lower your body fat.
For Obama arms within 1-2 months, Kathy Smith, the creator of the 'Total Body Lift' workout, suggests the following six moves with 3 pound dumbbells, three times of week, and it should only take you 15 minutes a session:
- The Sun Salutation yoga position, six times
- Shoulder press progression, with dumbbells, 8-12 times
- Dumbbell curls, 8-12 times
- Tricep sits, 6 times
- Double cross, 15 times with each leg
- Staggered push ups, starting with five reps and working your way up to 20

Girl says she was fired after rebuffing manager
A Milwaukee company that owns dozens of fast food restaurants made it hard for a 16-year-old girl to report that her manager was repeatedly pressuring her for sex and fired her after she refused, a federal appeals court has ruled.
V&J Foods Inc., which bills itself as one of the largest fast food franchise companies in the country and is owned by a prominent local lawyer and his sister, was sued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2005 on behalf of a former employee.
The girl said her manager at Burger King, Tony Wilkins, then 35, snapped her bra strap, repeatedly rubbed against her and offered her money for sex, saying he wanted a young girl whose body "was not all used up," according to court documents.
She said she tried to report the harassment, was rebuffed and then fired.
The EEOC very rarely files such lawsuits, one of the appeals judges noted.
The agency did so here because of a nationwide effort to ensure underage workers aren't victimized, EEOC attorney Jennifer Goldstein said during oral arguments.
"We are trying to focus on educating younger people about their rights under anti-discrimination laws," Goldstein said. "The problems of young employees at restaurants seem endemic."
Chief U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa sided with V&J last year and dismissed the case, granting summary judgment to V&J. The three-judge appeals court panel that reviewed the case said there were too many material facts in dispute for Randa for such a disposition, according to an opinion released Wednesday. The case has been sent back to Randa for further proceedings.
Fast food companies such as V&J have an "explosive situation" because they hire young men to supervise teenage girls, the judges said. They suggested the EEOC consider making harassment reporting uniform at restaurants nationwide.
V&J argued that it trains extensively on sexual harassment, and employees are told how to report it. The company said the 16-year-old didn't report that she was harassed until after she was fired a second time, court documents indicate.
John Draper, president of operations for V&J, said the company was disappointed by the appeals court opinion but noted no facts have been decided. He said the company is proud of 20 years of providing a high-quality workplace and called the girl disgruntled.
"We are going to vigorously defend against this at trial," Draper said.
Wilkins, who denied any harassment, quit the company and has left the state, Draper said.
V&J, which has more than 100 Burger King and Pizza Hut franchises, is owned by Valerie Daniels-Carter and her brother, John Daniels Jr., chairman of the Milwaukee-based law firm Quarles & Brady LLP. Attorneys from Quarles are listed on the case but did not return a call for comment.
According to court records, in early 2003 shortly after turning 16, the girl started working at the Burger King at N. 35th and W. Vliet streets. A short time later, Wilkins snapped her bra, the girland another worker told investigators.
Wilkins told her he thought her uniform looked sexy and ordered work shirts small on purpose, records say. Wilkins was having sexual relationships with several employees at the restaurant and rubbed up against the 16-year-old and tried to kiss her; she rebuffed him, but he persisted, the documents indicate.
"She felt as though she were working with 'a stalker all around,' " the opinion states.
Wilkins also offered to take her to a hotel for sex and pay her $500 to $600, according to the opinion. She told him she had a boyfriend, and he became hostile and fired her supposedly for missing work, though he had changed her schedule with no notice, it states.
According to the opinion:
The girl was rehired and the harassment continued. She complained to shift managers and was ignored and once was given a wrong number to report it. A general V&J phone number was listed on the cover of the employee handbook and on paychecks, but there were no numbers or information posted at the restaurant.
Finally the girl's mother came to complain, and the girl was fired again.
Another employee, 22, said she had sex repeatedly with Wilkins in 2003 after he promised her a promotion, which never materialized, documents say. When she stopped the sex, Wilkins slashed her hours, the documents say. The employee reported what happened to V&J and was threatened with termination, she said.
V&J's attorney, Thomas Krukowski, said at oral argument that the company does not concede harassment occurred. The appellate judges were astonished by that, noting that V&J had made that concession in its written brief.
"We hope V&J, the owner of numerous fast-food restaurants, knows better," the opinion states.

by Julie Snyder Holiday shopping can be daunting for anyone what with everyone running around searching for the perfect presents. When you're pregnant however, holiday shopping can present some additional challenges, not to mention frustrations. Close your eyes and imagine those jostling elbows as you head for that perfect gift. That can be stressful to think about. Now, add a not-so-gentle nudge from the elbow within. Yes, it can present challenges! No matter what stage you are in, our guide to holiday shopping provides helpful tips to help you throughout the season!
Holiday shopping when you're pregnant
1. Make a list; look through sales ads. If you don't receive the paper, consider picking up one on Sunday when all the sales ads come out. At minimum for each person on your list, settle on an "idea" before heading to the stores.
2. Consolidate shopping: Hit a department store over several specialty shops. Some stores will even price match ads on same items.
3. Get hydrated before you head out and carry a bottle of water with you.
4. Stake out bathrooms when you enter a store due to number three above, among other contributing factors.
5. Keep small snacks stashed in your purse to help calm queasies. Good choices are crackers or trail mix.
6. Wear comfy shoes. Now is not the time to let your inner fashionista heels out on the town.
7. Shop off hours when parking lots and stores are apt to be less crowded to be able to procure better parking spaces and less time standing in line at the checkout.
8. Space things out. Don't try to do a marathon shopping trip all in one day but maybe divvy up the stores that you want to go to. Hit one after work and another a few days later on a lunch break
9. Consider creating more gifts of the heart. Dig through your craft box or look around the web. You'll find tons of great gift ideas that you can make, even from the couch.
Best tip of all?
10. Shop online. Take advantage of free shipping deals from the comfort of your recliner...with your feet up and a comforting cup of tea at hand.

I have just one problem: nowhere does Wolke say how many sesame seeds are in a teaspoon. However, inspired by Wolke's labor-intensive lime squeezing experiment on pages 281-284, I was able to work it out myself. The answer is 840. I found this by counting the number in a half teaspoon and multiplying by two, genius that I am. (Alas, this was before I realized that I could have counted the number in a quarter teaspoon and multiplied by four.) Which reminds me of the joke about a guy on a train counting cows in a field. When asked how he could do this he explained that he counted their legs and divided by four.
Now you may think this was an idle exercise and wonder if I am not slyly making fun of Wolke's book. Au Cointreau! What I learned by counting sesame seeds exemplifies one of the lessons in the book, namely how hard it is to measure anything exactly. On page 294 Wolke asks, "Have you noticed how surface tension makes the liquid bulge up above the rim of the measuring spoon? How accurate can that be?" Well, I have, and I want to tell you getting a straight line of sesame seeds across the top of that measuring spoon was no piece of cake either!
There are nine chapters and a really excellent index, suggestions for further reading and a brief glossary. There are some excellent recipes by Wolke's wife, Marlene Parrish. I performed a "thought experiment" on several of them and found that my mouth was watering. One of them, how to make turkey or chicken gravy on page 156 is almost exactly the way I make it. (Smile.) Parrish uses the roasting pan, transferring it to the stove top burners after removing the bird, and then deglazes the pan more or less in the French style. I must note that on the previous page Wolke himself does not recommend this technique finding it "hard to straddle two burners" not to mention "one big cleanup job after dinner."
Which makes me wonder who makes the gravy in their household--or, better yet, who does the dishes!
The chapters begin with sugar, "Sweet Talk" and end with "Tools and Technology." Wolke gives us a full mouthful on the differences between cane and beet sugar, between brown and white sugar, between cocoa and chocolate, and makes me feel good about not being crazy about white chocolate. He separates the sea salt from the rock salt; he explains what MSG is and where it comes from; how home water filters works; why "the nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat" is actually true, and of course how to open a champagne bottle and clarify butter... Ghee, I'm exhausted!
One of my favorite explanations is why beef in the supermarket looks bright pink on the outside and brown on the inside. (See pages 127-128, and, no, they don't spray it with dye, which is what I always thought.) I also liked it when Wolke got down and dirty and tried to fry an egg on the sidewalk, and after some heavy-duty "Techspeak" came to the conclusion that you can't; that frying an egg on the sidewalk is an urban legend. (But try the roof of your Arizona "sun-baked, dark blue, 1994 Ford Taurus" which "measured 178 degrees F, more than hot enough to coagulate both white and yolk.") (p. 193)
The icing on the cake for me (if you will) was Wolke's explanation of "Why Crackers Are Holey" beginning on page 307. What his explanation amounts to is a guide on how to make crackers, which is something I've been stumbling around in the kitchen, trying to do off and on for ages. Two key factors that I was unaware of: One, the oven has to be very, very hot ("saltines are baked at 650 to 700 degrees F."; matzos at "800 to 900 degrees F.") and Two, crackers need holes to let the air out! And now to find an oven that gets that hot...
Here are a couple of witticisms: On page 305 Wolke is talking about ovens that use light to cook food, and "the promotional statements...[that sound] like pseudoscientific hype:" They "harness the power of light." They cook "with the speed of light" and "from the inside out." He comments: "Light does indeed travel, appropriately enough, at the speed of light, but it doesn't penetrate most solids very far. Try reading this page through a steak."
Or, "The makers of matzos, the unleavened flatbread of the Jewish Passover, seem to have gone hog wild (you should excuse the expression) on perforations. Matzos are much hole-ier than secular crackers." (p. 307)
Bottom line: fascinating and fun to read.
--Dennis Littrell, author of "Dennis Littrell's Funniest! Most Satirical! and Just Plain Meanest! Reviews"
But no - he really assumes you're an idiot, which seems odd give the subject, or even the title. He continues to talk down to the reader throughout the book. He uses the word "Techspeak" to warn you of anything vaguely scientific. For example, "We all learned that matter comes in three physical forms (Techspeak: states of matter)" or "...liquid water can hold more heat (Techspeak: it has a higher heat capacity)". And instead of bothering to explain things he often just resorts to onomatopoeia. What is energy? It's oomph.
The book is in the form of question and answer, and I can't help but think he even rewrote the questions to make them extra dumb. While he apparently does receive questions from the public you can tell they've been reworked because they were clearly all written by the same idiot. The questions all follow the same format ("I heard..." followed by some reasonable question or statement, with a punchline at the end.)
In addition to thinking you are stupid, he really thinks he is funny. There's a simple and obvious pun in nearly every section of the book. I found myself thinking "oh no, please don't say..." and then there it was. It seems like entire sections were written just to deliver a pun.
There's really very little science in the book, and he shies away from answering anything that would require more than a few paragraphs or too much "Techspeak". One of the most egregious lines in the book, in fact the one that inspired me to rewrite this review was "And what about 'all that yellow-green stuff' inside the crabs? Don't ask. Just eat it." Don't ask? Are you kidding me? No, I'm asking. That's the whole point of this book, or so I thought. As a child if I asked my dad any of these questions and got answers like the ones in this book I would have rejected the answer and demanded a better explanation. But then again my dad would never insult me with the drivel in this book.
As well as explanations of many foodie things that you will never see explained in run-of-the-mill cookery books, it includes a decent number of fairly straightforward recipes.
It is broken into many short sub-chapters, making it easy to read in bursts of 3 or 4 minutes.
What it is not, is a comprehensive explanation of all kitchen science. If you are looking for a manual of cookery science and techniques, or a book aimed at budding professional cooks, then look elsewhere.

Sorting text based on line prefix
Hi everyone. I am currently grabbing a local INI file and removing unneeded entries outside of an area that looks as follows:
[User patterns]
! Comment here
The text above is what I am left with after removing all unneeded entries, but now I need to a way or sorting different data types into different text boxes. Each line prefix specifies a new data type, !, @@, # are all line prefixes, with everything else being another type.
I need a way of sorting through the text box that currently contains around 60KB of data (and growing) into different text boxes depending on the data type. I have tried everything I can think of, and to no avail; it is however probably me doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Jamie Plucinski
Re: Sorting text based on line prefix
Sorry but I could not get what you are looking for.
Is it just you want to check if the textbox you are adding the text to has more than 60 KB of data or what??
Re: Sorting text based on line prefix
I need a way or sorting lines that start with @@ into their own text box, lines that start with # also need to go into their own textbox, and any other lines left over need to be put into their own text box.
Re: Sorting text based on line prefix
If you are to process large amount of data and which can take long time you have 2 options
1. Use threads
2. Use a GUI to indicate some work is done.
I am sure you need to be parsing those 60 KB of data one line at a time only.

As usual, there a lot of questions that need to be answered when it comes to the pro bowl voting. It happens at every position, and there are always some players that just should not be there.
Many deserving players will not be in Hawaii, but in many cases there were too many great players at a position (NFC running back and wide receiver). The Pro Bowl does not seem to carry the importance of the NBA or MLB All-Star games, but the right players still deserve to go.
The New York Jets led all teams with 7 selections. The Jets? The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans get six a piece, and the Jets get seven?
I also have to question how the Minnesota Vikings getting six selections. They are a mediocre team at best, and I am fine with Adrian Peterson, Antoine Winfield, and Steve Hutchinson being chosen. Pat and Kevin Williams both should be suspended right now, and they are 2/3 of the NFC defensive tackles. I will go into Jared Allen later.
I have made my rankings based on the players I feel got the worst snub. A player that had a phenomenal season, but was left off because there was nowhere to put him will not rank as high as one who was left off for someone less deserving.
This is my first list I have done, and I welcome any feedback from people who agree or disagree. I'm sure not everyone will agree with my selections, and that is fine. I am just using my firsthand knowledge and statistical research to try and come up with as accurate a list as possible.
