NEW YORK — Coastal communities should assume floods are going to happen more frequently and realize that spending now on protective measures could save money later, according to a report issued by a presidential task force charged with developing a strategy for rebuilding areas damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
The warning reinforces concerns along the flood-swept Charleston peninsula, Lowcountry and much of the Southeast coast.
Most of the report's 69 recommendations focus on a simple warning: Plan for future storms in an age of climate change and rising sea levels. It calls for development of a more advanced electrical grid and the creation of better planning tools and standards for storm-damaged communities.
"If we built smart, if we build resilience into communities, then we can live along the coast. We can do it in a way that saves lives and protects taxpayer investments," said Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan, who discussed the report Monday with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Donovan was appointed chairman of the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force by President Barack Obama.
Sea levels play a large role in coastal flooding and stormwater drainage in Charleston, surrounding beach and estuary communities. The issues have been causing problems on the Charleston peninsula for hundreds of years.
Along the peninsula, streets and pipes drain into tidally influenced rivers and the harbor, where the water level can rise 7 feet or more from low tide to high.
The sea level around Charleston increased at least 9 inches during the last century. Researchers expect it to rise at least a foot in the next 50. Measures now indicate that that rate is accelerating.
The options are simple and expensive — retreat or build fortifications. Even as insurance costs soar, spending money to prepare for sea rise still spurs political controversy in South Carolina, where some say it isn't happening.
A number of the Superstorm Sandy group's key recommendations already are being implemented, including the creation of new flood-protection standards for major infrastructure projects built with federal money and the promotion of a sea-level modeling tool that will help builders and engineers predict where flooding might occur in the future.
It strongly opposes simply rebuilding structures as they were before they were devastated by October's historic storm.
The task force also endorsed an ongoing competition, called "Rebuild by Design," in which 10 teams of architects and engineers from around the world are exploring ways to address vulnerabilities in coastal areas.
"We're always going to have people, I think, want to live in areas that are problematic from an environmental point of view," Bloomberg said at Monday's news conference, which was held overlooking a Brooklyn water treatment plant that stayed online during the storm.
"We still want to leave it to you, the individual, to make your decisions, but the federal government has some economic incentives," he said, noting that rescue crews are needed to save flooded-out residents, "because if you do get in trouble, we're going to have to come to your aid anyway."
Earlier this year, Bloomberg unveiled a sweeping $20 billion proposal that would create floodwalls and marshes and stormproof vulnerable neighborhoods. It is not clear how much funding the city will receive to enact the changes.
The presidential task force report didn't delve deeply into what types of infrastructure might be best suited to protect the shoreline. It endorsed a greater use of natural barriers such as wetlands and sand dunes, but it said better tools were needed to help planners evaluate what works and to quantify the long-term benefits of those types of projects.
It said the government should find ways to encourage the private sector to develop fuel distribution and telecommunications systems that are less likely to be crippled by extended power outages. After Sandy, drivers in New York and New Jersey had problems finding gas stations that still had fuel because of a series of problems that rippled through the distribution system. Cellphone networks were snuffed out in some areas because of equipment that lacked adequate battery power, or other backup electrical supplies.
A large section of the report dealt with how federal authorities should respond once a storm has struck.
Among the recommendations:
Federal agencies should streamline their review processes for reconstruction projects related to Sandy. It said that if standard government permitting timelines are applied, some rebuilding projects might have to undergo redundant reviews by multiple agencies and could be held up as long as four years. Some of those reviews will be consolidated to save time and money, the task force said.
The Small Business Administration's disaster loan program, which gave $3.8 billion in low-interest loans to storm victims, performed better than it did during Hurricane Katrina but should be tweaked further.
Federal mortgage policies should be revised so homeowners can get insurance checks faster.
On one vital issue related to insurance, the task force had no easy solution.
It noted that because of reforms to the financially distressed National Flood Insurance Program that began before the storm, many thousands of people who live in low-lying areas will likely see huge premium increases if they don't lift their homes up on pilings. The task force said that for many homeowners, both options are unaffordable. It recommended further study of that dilemma.

Wisconsin State Fair attendance tops a million, most since 1969
Beautiful weather drew record-breaking crowds of more than a million fairgoers to the Wisconsin State Fair this year, numbers that may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, fair officials said.
The 11-day event attracted 1,012,552 attendees, and even weekdays saw as many as 122,000 guests. Total attendance was 10% higher than last year and the largest reported since 1969 — though the fair only started scanning tickets in 2002, which gives the most accurate numbers. »Read Full Article(14)
Even in pink, Miranda Lambert as fiery as she wants to be
For years, Miranda Lambert was country music's female underdog.
While Carrie Underwood was an "American Idol" champion and quickly became the genre's glamorous queen, Lambert was a third-place finisher on cable TV's "Nashville Star" who preferred faded jeans to flowing gowns. Taylor Swift was the sweetheart-next door-turned worldwide pop star, while Lambert was the rough-edged spitfire — famous in her small town for all the wrong reasons. »Read Full Article

Lillian Anderson Arboretum
Kalamazoo College's Lillian Anderson Arboretum comprises 140 acres of marsh, meadow, pine plantation and second-growth deciduous forest in Oshtemo Township, Kalamazoo County, Michigan.
Several families worked the land between the early-19th and mid-20th centuries. Lillian Anderson, a K graduate, donated approximately 100 acres of her family's farm to the College in 1982. In 2000, thanks to the generous financial assistance of Dr. and Mrs. H. Lewis Batts, the College added 31 acres of land along the eastern boundary of the original Anderson property. The Arboretum was established in 1998 as a resource for the Kalamazoo College community, Kalamazoo-area residents, and visitors to the area.

The Attention Economy and the Net
We are heading to a new economy which will radical change
The real promise of the Web and the net and the like, though also a promise it can never completely fulfill, is to help satisfy the ever more pressing desire attention. To get attention you must emit what is technically identifiable as information; likewise for information to be of any value, it must receive attention. Therefore an information technology is also an attention technology, or in other words, a transfer of information is only completed when there is also a transfer of attention proceeding in the opposite direction. Michael H. Goldhaber describes the nature of the new attention economy.
When confronted with a new phenomenon, the mind generally tends to be conservative, to explain and seek to master what is new in terms of what is already well-known. While that process is often successful, it can badly betray us when something quite unprecedented in our own experience occurs. In this chapter I will sketch out the position that a failure of just this sort is at work in many of the attempts, to comprehend such new developments as the Internet and the World Wide Web in terms of conventional economics.
In such a situation, one must take a fresh look, both by moving back to gain perspective, and by zeroing in on features that standard thinking does not notice. The result is a radically different sense of what is in progress, and therefore a radically different sense of what strategies and practices are worth pursuing, not in some far-off future, but today.
Arguments for the Shift towards the Attention Economy
* Familiar economic principles, and indeed the whole science of economics are good for (and were developed in and in response to) one particular era in economic history, namely the era of market-based, money-dominated industrialized mass-production and consumption (and its immediate forebears).
* As with prior economic eras, this industrial, market, money-based economy reached a limit around 1965.
* Since then, at an accelerating pace, social energies have actually been moving in a quite different direction, under the impetus of a hitherto secondary set of motivations. Chief is the desire to obtain attention, which is intrinsically, unavoidably scarce.
The attention economy that is emerging is radically different from any prior economy, and certainly from the industrial market economy. In its pure form, it doesn't involve any sort of money, nor a market or anything closely resembling one. It involves a quite different pattern of life than the routine-based, industrial one with its work/home, work/ play and production/consumption dichotomies. What matters is seeking, obtaining and paying attention.
* The new economy also has its own characteristic form of property, which is quite simply the attention that is readily available to its "owner" from other people, which depends on what attention this owner has gotten in the past. This kind of property, located, quite literally, in "the minds of the beholders" is best held onto through practices that are sharply at odds with what the concept of intellectual property would suggest. The new kind doesn't require elaborate policing or other mechanisms for its protection, as intellectual property does, which is one reason attention as property is more natural.
* Thus, the attention economy is fundamentally incompatible with the more familiar kind of economy, and can only keep growing at the latter's expense. We are thus living through a period of major transition to an entirely new, pretty much all-encompassing economic order.
* The transitional period is especially complex, as elements of the old order, and even more the concepts from it, still influence our actions and our interpretations of them. Meanwhile, many forms of conflict break out between those who have most to benefit from the new order and those with current power who have most to lose. This transition may be compared with the transition from the feudal economy in western Europe to the market industrial economy it first gave rise to.
* The growth of the net and the web - or the entire field of digital information, or cyberspace, if you will - is simply one aspect of this transition, though an extremely important one.
There is some value in taking the notion of cyberspace quite literally, as a new space that is coming to flourish precisely because it is so naturally attuned to the attention economy that those who would live under the auspices of the latter flock to it.
* An analogy with many important implications suggests itself: the move toward cyberspace today parallels the move of the civilization of western Europe during the birth period of the market economy, to the New World of the Americas. The rulers of that time, heirs of the feudal aristocracy, along with almost everyone else, presumed that a variant of the feudal economy should, could, and would be set up in the new space of the new continents. They took it completely for granted that the thing to do was fill the new lands with nobles and serfs or peasants, divided into baronies, earldoms, dukedoms and so on.
However, what happened in reality was that the energies that caused the colonists to settle and take over this new world (rudely wrenched from its indigenous inhabitants, to be sure) were increasingly fueled by the rising market economy. Unimpeded by the remains of feudalism which were still a considerable restraint in Europe, the market-industrial system in fact took most complete hold here in North America first. From here, much later, it swept back to complete its conquest of the western European motherland, along with the rest of the globe.
* A similar process is now underway. Cyberspace will be the "place" where the new economy moves ahead most dynamically, but the strength gained in the process will eventually sweep back to dominate the rest of life. And the move toward cyberspace can advance this fast only because the new economy has already gained considerable strength. By a reasonable measure, it is already at least as strong and important as the money economy.
* The pace of change now is obviously far swifter than when the market system was growing up, centuries ago. We can expect cyberspace to grow both in number of participants and in technical scope - that is, to encompass a widening range of media, such as multicasting , ubiquitous two-way video, and virtual reality- over the next couple of decades. By then it will already have become a major part of the life of just about everyone on the planet. While traces of the old economy will long survive, they will be - already are, in fact - of continually diminishing importance.
Some Key Questions
At this point, a number of obvious questions emerge. Among them:
- What evidence is there that the new economy revolves around attention?
- What reason is there to believe the old economy has begun to fade?
- How can an economy work if it doesn't depend on a market mechanism or money?
- How, specifically, does the attention economy work?
- What are the practical consequences?
I cannot come close to fully answering each of these questions in the space allotted here, but I can offer some reflections that bear on each of them.
A Non-Material Economy
Whatever else it represents, the emerging cyberspace implies a vast departure from the old economy centered on the manufacture and distribution of material objects, for the simple reason that material objects are excluded from cyberspace. They cannot travel through the web or the net. What can? The "obvious"answer is in the title of this book, namely "digital information." In a technical sense that is clearly correct, but what is the economic import of digital information? That is to say, what is its actual value to human beings?
Two different kinds of answer are frequently suggested. The first, conventionally accepted without much question is that the majority of such information, or other computer-generated information is in aid of business of the standard type. In other words, far from in any way undermining the old economy, the function of digital information is supposedly to smooth its operations and to increase producitivity.
However, the huge volume of information already passing over the net or the equally huge volume handled by personal and other computers in office settings - millions of times what was available just a few decades ago - have quite definitely not contributed to any noticaeble productivity whatsoever, and still less to any rise proportionate to the huge increase in information-processing capacities. They should certainly have had a huge effect if that was their function, since a growing proportion of the old economy, in its own terms is devoted to this information sector. Instead, productivity rises after the the introduction of this flood of digital infromation are, if anything, smaller on the azverage than before. This is not a conclusion that could be changed by some small upward re-estimate of productivity. The explanation as it stands is just totally false.
A second kind of answer related to the utility of the Net, etc., is that it provides a new kind of value, namely that it satisfies our individual need or desire for information. Before examining this notion more fully, I want to set it in a different context.
The Limits of Material Consumption
This context is the fate of the industrial economy proper. Every economy exists in history; every economy of note therefore has to have started out small and then grown. Each one, therefore, has to have some inherent feature that makes it grow. But just as certainly, eventually, the value of that sort of growth ends. The economy has succeeded, as well as anyone really can hope, and there is less and less point in continuing on the same course. The only possibility is a change of direction, a freeing of social energies towards dealing with some kind of desire, some kind of scarcity that was held in check in the background until that moment.
In broad outline, that is what happened about 1950 or 60 or 70 or 80 with the old economy of mass production at least in the advanced countries. (The year I prefer is 1965, but who really cares?)
Take cars. Somewhere in that period, we came pretty close to one car per driver. Factories could easily have been enlarged and made more efficient so as eventually to turn out lots of cars per driver, even lots of affordable cars per driver, but whatever the price, having more than one automobile is of diminishing value. As long as you have only one body, you are constrained to ride in only one car at a time; yet if you choose to have several, you take on added responsibilities of keeping track of them, maintaining them, and so forth.
Similarly with quality, or what some economists like to call value added. In terms of material functionality, getting from place to place in reasonable comfort and safety and as fast as the law and traffic allows, only very subtle improvements in quality are possible. This is why engineers add and advertisements emphasize such features as headlight wipers or side airbags, each one of which offer only tiny improvements in functionality, comfort or safety. Can you imagine a car that is ten times better in any respect, and therefore should be worth ten times more than today's average car? I can't; I don't think anyone can. Growth in quality, too, is a matter of diminishing, sometimes purely imaginary returns.
Or take food. On average, we are overweight in this country, but that is despite incredible efforts to resist consuming. If you were to eat all the food you could afford, you would burst very soon. Except in war zones, there is no place on earth today with more than distributional problems in keeping everyone fed. At least for the time being, the long era - most of recorded history - of cycles of famine is over. Enough food is grown for everyone. Ditto with clothes. It used to be that photos of the poor conspicuously revealed rags, garments in tatters. Now such photos, even from the poorest countries, are hard to come by. For the middle classes, closets bulge as much as profiles. We accommodate ourselves to more and more kinds of clothes for different occasions; we follow increasingly short term fashion trends, but we still do not come close to consuming what the capacity exists to produce. If clothes could be produced fast enough for you to be able to change to a new outfit every five minutes, would that be a blessing? Can more work make endlessly better clothing?
Such considerations can be applied to virtually every category of material good. Having only one body constrains each of us all in the amount of such goods we can make any direct use of, thus limiting our capacity and inclination to consume. New kinds of good can be invented, but it takes time for them to attain much acceptance, often at the expense of some older category. In that time, generally, productive capacity can be made ready to meet any demand.
The result has been that as productivity increased, average net employment in factory production had to fall, since per capita consumption, though continually rising just could not rise fast enough to keep up. If agricultural employment is included in overall figures for employment in material production,as it should be,then there has been a worldwide drop in the total of such employment per capita, even as consumption per capita world wide continues to grow.
A Return to the Question of the Value of Information
In that context, with material superabundance having an ever more pressing effect, could it be that by turning productive skills and efforts to the creation and its distribution of new information new potentials for consumption could be tapped, and thus further increasing the quality of life, while continuing the old economy, only slightly transformed?
The problem with that hypothesis stares us in the face. If material goods are abundantly available, then information is vastly more available. Consider the web in this regard.
Every new piece of information put on the web is potentially available,with hardly any technical barriers to millions, instantaneously. Thus information "productivity" can be gigantic, virtually infinite, if defined by the number of "consumers" each piece of information can be "used" by, that is, if defined in parallel to a common-sense definition of productivity for material goods. Consequently, the oversupply of information is far greater than that of material goods. Indeed, each of us tends to be drowning in it, experiencing more and more difficulty in keeping up with the torrent that comes our way, and yet the torrent keeps increasing.
Huge numbers of postings on the Web or the net, along with many kinds of information distributed by more primitive means, never receive the slightest attention, that is, in the old terms they are not consumed; there is no demand for them. No matter how curious or inquisitive we may be, or much desirous of being entertained, there is already far too much information coming at us for us to make good use of it, or indeed to take it in at all. If the growth of material production was limited by the ability to consume, then the growth of information should have been limited even more, if the economic motives for that growth had been the same. In other words, the tremendous growth of the information sector is entirely irrational from the viewpoint of standard economics, carefully analyzed. A different explanation is required.
The Attention Hypothesis
If the desire for information of any kind is hardly so strong as to justify the vast growth of what is known as information technology,then why did it grow, and why does that growth continue at an accelerating pace? Material goods don't flow through things like the net. Information does, but what else? There is only one basic answer, and that is what has to be present somewhere along the line if information is to have any value at all. It something that is scarce, as well as desirable, so that there is a clear motivation for putting out effort to obtain it. Namely attention.
The real promise of the Web and the net and the like, though also a promise it can never completely fulfill, is to help satisfy the ever more pressing desire attention. To get attention you must emit what is technically identifiable as information; likewise for information to be of any value, it must receive attention. Therefore an information technology is also an attention technology, or in other words, a transfer of information is only completed when there is also a transfer of attention proceeding in the opposite direction.
While we do not customarily speak of attention flows, or think of attention as something that even can flow through wires, etc., there is no reason not to. As you read this, a significant portion of your attention is obviously going to this text, but equally, in a certain sense, to me,the emitter of these words. That would be completely obvious if you happened to be listening to me say the words rather than reading them. Whenever you pay attention to anyone speaking, you are also necessarily paying attention to the words being spoken. And vice versa: you can't only pay attention to words being spoken without paying attention to whoever is speaking them.
How you hear the words - over the radio, through a phone system, by way of the internet or in an auditorium or simply in direct face-to-face conversation- makes no difference in that regard. In a very real, if little considered sense, your attention flows to the person speaking. The flow need not end there. Attention has a sort of commutative property; if you have my attention and X has your attention, you can easily pass min eon to X. Whether I keep paying attention to X will remain in question, but at least for a moment you can direct the flow that way. This is commonly done by introducing a third person in a conversation, by handing over the mike (or the "floor") when speaking before a live audience, by mentioning, quoting or citing someone lese in written materials, and so on.
The World Wide Web's key feature, the hyperlink, more or less automates this redirection of the flow of attention making it easy to pass attention further up the chain, helping to unify the world wide flow of attention into one complex free-standing system.
The Unavoidable Fact of Attention Scarcity
If scarcity is a main motivator of the type of organized activity that could possibly be labeled an economy, then the scarcity of attention is an especially good one.
Paying attention implies some degree of understanding and taking in what ever is being done or expressed. Hence, only a sentient being can be a source of attention, and only a sentient being very similar to ourselves is likely to be capable of any real understanding, and of an acceptable level of attention paying. Few people would say that their personal computer, their telephone or any other gadget is capable of understanding them, though they might say their dog or cat is. But understanding to some degree comes from empathy; you cannot understand me if you cannot somehow put yourself in my position or my shoes,and to do that you must be somewhat like me, enough so that if I can want attention, so can you. If we feel that our pets are capable of understanding us, we probably also feel that our pets have some desire for our attention in turn. They may in fact demand more than they give us.
Whatever is capable of paying attention also is capable of wanting at least as much. For this reason, the amount of attention available per capita will always be limited, no matter what we do, technologically, to try to ease the scarcity. Even a computer that could really pay attention would be just as capable of demanding it.
Furthermore, each of us, no matter how able or well-trained or equipped with technical aids or dosed with stimulants, has only a limited capacity to pay attention. We can each only give our full attention, as rule, to one other person at a time. On occasion one can fake it, and seemingly being fully attentive simultaneously to two, three, or maybe even a few more individuals, each of whom is not too demanding. Even so, there are very real limits on the total amount of attention we can personally put forth.

No you will get ban. I did, and the trainer didn't even work. Just running it in the background is enough to ban you for life. You will need to make a new account and buy the game again.
Don't use the trainer. It's not cheat happens fault. It's the rules of the game. From reading the rules their is no off line mode you are always online. Stats are always being recorded.
$130 up in smoke.

You WILL get banned. No questions asked, zero tolerance type of deal. Because they monitor your "profile stats and achievements", it may take them a few days or a week before they catch up to you but you WILL get banned. Even if you use it for the regular Campaign mode. It sucks. Money down the drain and I can no longer play any version except for the campaign. I am ****ed.

I downloaded the lastest version of the trainer because I wanted to last longer in the zombie modes, playing solo, so not only did the version of cheat not seem to match the latest build of the Black ops 2 zombie update,the trainier didnt work, but later that day, after of course I unloaded the cheat, even rebooted, and went on steam to play black ops 2 multiplayer, I received a PERMANATE BAN from the multiplayer mode, with no reason why, but I can assume it has to be because I used the CH zombie cheat mode....so now I am F*cked, I can no longer play the game, and I can understand a hacker playing multiplayer getting banned but I never got on online nor was I looking to...ah well....so much for the new DLC I was gonna buy in a few more weeks...

yes, I completely DO NOT condone players cheating or hacking in real multiplayer against other human players, it just takes all teh fun out of the game, but when your playing solo against the computer, you should be able to have a god mode, or an unlimited money if needed, and the only person your hurting is yourself, so why should companies care about how you want to enhance or spoil your own game...like it says, they already have our money, so why would they care....but definitely think they should do something about hackers in multiplay mode....ah well, I wonder if my black ops 2 multiplayer ban is for life?

Gratuity:- Gratuity' is a retirement benefit. Gratuity Act, 1972 act envisages in providing retirement benefit to the workman who have rendered long and unblemished service to the employer. Gratuity is a reward for long and meritorious service. Earlier, it was not compulsory for an employer to reward his employee at the time of his retirement or resignation. But in 1972 the government passed the Payment of Gratuity Act that made it mandatory for all employers with more than 10 employees to pay gratuity.
Applicability of the Act: The act provides for the payment of gratuity to workers employed in every factory, mine, oil field, plantation, port, railways, shop & Establishments or educational institution employing 10 or more persons on any day of the proceeding 12 months.
A shop or establishment to which the Act has become applicable shall continue to be governed by the Act even if the numbers of persons employed falls below 10 at any subsequent stage.
Here employees are defined as those hired on the company's payroll. Trainees and interns are not eligible for this compensation.
Eligibility criteria
Gratuity shall be payable to an "employee" on the termination of his employment after he has rendered continuous service for not less than five years.
Note:However, the condition of five years of continuous service is not necessary if service is terminated due to death or disablement.
To whom is Gratuity Payable?
Gratuity is normally payable to the employee himself, however in the case of death of the employee it shall be paid to his nominee & nomination has been made to his heirs. Incase the nominee is a minor; share of the minor shall be deposited with the controlling authority who shall invest the same for benefit of the minor, until he/she attains majority.
Maximum amount payable under the Gratuity Act:-
Maximum gratuity payable is Rs 10 lakhs for Government & Non Government employees. [Section 4(3)] [Of course, employer can pay more. Employee has also right to get more if obtainable under an award or contract with employer, as made clear in section 4(5)].
Nomination facility: – Yes, by filling Form "F" at the time of new joinee formality, each employee is required to nominate one or more member of his family, as defined in the Act, who will receive the gratuity in the event of the death of the employee.
Forfeiture of Gratuity:- The gratuity of an employee whose service have been terminated for any Act of willful omission or negligence causing any damage or loss to or destruction of property belonging to the employer, gratuity shall be forfeited to the extent of the damage or loss caused. The right of forfeiture is limited to the extent of damage.
The gratuity payable to an employee shall be wholly forfeited:
Applicability to contract Employee:- Yes, the only criterion is to serve at least 5 years of service at a stretch.
Calculating gratuity
a) In respect of Employees covered Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972:
As per the Act, the gratuity amount is 15 days' wage multiplied by the number of years put in by you. Here wage refers to basic salary plus dearness allowance. Take the monthly salary drawn by you last (basic + dearness allowance) at the time of resignation or retirement. Divide this by 26. This gives you your daily salary. Multiply this amount by 15 days, and further by the number of years of service you have put in.
If you have put in 10 years and seven months in an organisation, your service period will be taken to be 11 years. But if your service tenure is 10 years and five months, then for the purpose of this calculation your tenure will be taken to be 10 years only.
Take an example. Suppose that your average monthly salary is Rs 26,000. Your daily salary will be Rs 1,000. Multiply this by 15 and then by 10. The gratuity you are entitled to after 10 years of service will be Rs 1.5 lakh.
Formula :- Gratuity shall be calculated as per the below formula:
Gratuity = Last drawn salary x 15/26 x No. of years of service
Your last drawn salary will comprise your basic + DA. For computation of gratuity, your service period will be rounded off to the nearest full year.
b) In respect of Employees not covered Under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972:
For non-government employees, who are not covered under this Act, the manner of calculating gratuity is different. First, the average salary is calculated: for this the average of last ten months' salary is taken (this will include the basic plus dearness allowance plus commission as a percentage of turnover achieved by the employee). Divide this average salary by 30 (ignore fractions). Now, multiply this amount by 15 and further with the number of years of service put in. Dividing the daily salary by 30 instead of 26 does put those not covered by the Gratuity Act at a disadvantage.
Formula :- Gratuity shall be calculated as per the below formula
Gratuity = Last drawn salary x ½ x No. of years of service
Your last drawn salary will comprise your basic + DA+ commission on sales on turnover basis. For computation of gratuity, your service period will not be rounded off to the nearest full year. While calculating completed years, any fraction of the year will be ignored. For instance, if the employee has a total service of 20 years, 10 months and 25 days, only 20 years will be factored into the calculation.
Tax treatment of gratuity :- For the purpose of exemption of gratuity under sec.10 (10) the employees are divided under three categories:
As per Board's letter F.No. 194/6/73-IT(A-1) Dated 19.06.73 exemption in respect of gratuity is permissible even in cases of termination of employment due to resignation. The taxable portion of gratuity will qualify for relief u/s 89(1).
Gratuity payment to a widow or other legal heirs of any employee who dies in active service shall be exempt from income tax subject to provisions mentioned above Circular No. 573 dated 21.08.90).
The ceiling of Rs. 10 lakh applies to the aggregate of gratuity received from one or more employers in the same or different years.
Taxable under what head:- Gratuity received by an employee on his retirement is taxable under the head "Salary" and gratuity received by the legal heir is taxable under the head" Income from Other Sources".
Frequently Asked Question:-
QUESTION: I am a pensioner from Orissa State Government. I retired in 2007 receiving an amount of Rs. 3,00,000 as gratuity. But I received a further amount of Rs. 1.20 lakhs in December 2002 consequent on revision of pay. At the time of my retirement the exemption limit was Rs. 3.50 lakh. Am I eligible for the higher exemption limit under Sec. 10(10) available at the time of receipt. The higher limit of Rs. 10 lakhs is raised by Gratuity Amendment Bill 2010.
ANSWER: Every time the limit has been raised, such limit has only referred to the retirement on or after the date on which it was raised. Hence the limit on the date of retirement time would alone have to be considered, so exemption with reference to the enhanced limit will not apply to the reader's case. It is stated that the reader is a government pensioner. There is no ceiling for Central or State pensioners. If the reader is a retiree from the civil service of a State or held a civil post under a State or had even been an employee of a local authority, the gratuity amount, that is received, is totally exempt vide Sec. 10(10)(i) of the Income-tax Act irrespective of the date of retirement or the notification.

Reiterating that Q4 is an indication of what's to come but yet being very conservative with their Q1 guidance 20+% growth tells me that they are on a new strategy to under promise and over deliver, which if they did in the past, they would be at multiples of were they are... now that's changing quickly and I'm sure a lot of buy will come into MM, combined by short squeeze, I'm looking for short tern 20-30% quick jump.

Buying Property
Buying Property in Switzerland
Find out about the costs of buying a home in Switzerland including how to make an offer and arrange financing...
The acquisition of real estate by foreigners is regulated by the Federal Law on the Acquisition of Real Estate by Persons Abroad (originally called Lex Friedrich, today Lex Koller). Additionally, cantonal law and for some cities and villages also local law stipulates further detailed regulations. The Lex Koller requires "persons abroad" to obtain a permit from the appropriate cantonal and federal authorities before buying real estate in Switzerland.
Scope of the Regulation: "Persons abroad" in the sense of the Lex Koller can be individuals as well as legal entities.
- The Lex Koller defines individual persons abroad as being either foreigners domiciled abroad, or foreigners that are in fact domiciled in Switzerland but are neither nationals of EU/EFTA member states nor holders of a valid settlement permit (autorisation d'etablissement/ Niederlassungsbewilligung or so-called C permit).
This means that nationals of EU/EFTA member states domiciled in Switzerland (in particular EU/EFTA nationals with a residence permit EU-EFTA (autorisation de séjour/Aufenthaltsbewilligung or so called B permit) or a settlement permit EU-EFTA or, possibly, with a short residence permit EU-EFTA) as well as nationals of other foreign countries who are holders of a valid settlement permit (C permit) and are actually domiciled in Switzerland, are not subject to the "Lex Koller". With respect to the acquisition of real estate their position is equal to that of a Swiss citizen.
- Legal entities are considered "persons abroad" if they are either domiciled abroad or are controlled by persons abroad. Control of a legal entity by persons abroad is deemed where such persons abroad:
- own more than one-third of the company's equity capital
- dispose of more than one-third of the voting rights, whether directly or indirectly, in the shareholders' meeting of the company; or
- provide the company with repayable funds representing more than one half of the difference between the company's assets and its debts vis-à-vis persons that are not subject to the Lex Koller
The term "acquisition of real estate" encompasses not only the direct purchase of real estate but also the acquisition of property rights (rights in rem) on the real estate as well as the procurement of a right of ownership or usufruct in a share of a legal entity the actual object of which is the acquisition of real property.

text: Richard Hammond is a British television presenter and journalist who is most famous for his time as co-presenter of the BBC motoring TV program "Top Gear." Top Gear, a British television series about motor vehicles is the most widely watched factual television program in the world, which began in 1977. In 2002, a new format was proposed, which lead to the quirky, humorous and sometimes controversial style popular today. Richard Hammond was a part of the initial presenting team for the relaunch, and by 2008, Top Gear had become so popular that the waiting list to get tickets for a recording included more than 300,000 names, or 21 years' worth of episodes. He is sometimes referred to as "The Hamster" by fans and his co-presenters on Top Gear due to his name and comparatively small stature. One of Hammond's defining moments on the show was a high-speed dragster crash he was involved in while filming in September 2006 near York. Hammond never wanted the crash to be discussed on the show after he was forced to report on it (to spontaneous audience applause), but all three Top Gear presenters have since referred to it in jokes during the news segment of the programme, keeping the joke alive. In addition to his TV career, Richard Hammond has also authored children's books around car themes, including "Can You Feel the Force?: Putting the Fizz Back into Physics, and "Car Science." Hammond's net worth is approximately $25 million dollars. His home, "Bollitree Castle" is located in the small village of Weston-under-Penyard.

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), the most common cause of acute optic nerve disease in the older population, is a peculiar disorder. It has a predilection for eyes with very small cup-disc ratios, causes predominantly inferior altitudinal visual field defects, and, like Thor's hammer, rarely strikes the same eye twice. Vision is lost rapidly, usually within days. However, in a small fraction of patients, visual acuity or field worsens over weeks, ie, "progressive NAION."
The pathophysiology of NAION remains a mystery, and worse, there is no treatment established to be effective. Thus, it can be understood why there was so much hope when a 1989 publication in the Archives reported that 12 of 14 patients with progressive NAION enjoyed visual improvement after optic nerve sheath decompression.1 Patients with a progressive course compose only a small fraction of NAION cases, and it was only the progressing patients for which optic nerve sheath fenestration was suggested to be helpful. Nevertheless, this qualification failed to deter ophthalmologists from performing the procedure in both progressive and nonprogressive cases of NAION. Fortunately, several investigators decided to determine whether the procedure was truly efficacious, initiating the Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Decompression Trial (IONDT), which was funded by the National Eye Institute. The IONDT studied patients with clinically diagnosed new-onset NAION, randomizing them between optic nerve sheath fenestration or follow-up alone.
More than a decade after publication of the results of the IONDT,2 it is appropriate to consider to what extent the results of the IONDT have influenced the management of patients with NAION. At first glance, it would seem that the IONDT conclusively showed that optic nerve sheath fenestration does not improve visual acuity in patients with NAION and may also be harmful. However, a closer analysis uncovers some ambiguity. First, the IONDT did not definitively answer whether fenestration helped the group of patients for which the therapy was originally described: namely, those with progressive NAION. The 1989 article describing optic nerve sheath fenestration for progressive NAION had specifically demonstrated that it was ineffective for nonprogressive NAION. The IONDT was underpowered to specifically assess progressive NAION, and the negative findings seen in both progressing and nonprogressing cases has made it unlikely that a more adequately powered study can be performed in the future. Of the 237 randomized patients in the IONDT, only 16 patients in the surgery group and 11 patients in the follow-up group could be considered progressive by 1 clinical criterion, namely, worsening of 3 or more lines of visual acuity before randomization.2 In comparison, if one were to design a new study to have an 80% probability of detecting (at P = .05) a 50% greater improvement of 3 lines or more beyond that found in the IONDT careful follow-up group, 66 patients per group would be required. Thus, the question of whether or not optic nerve sheath fenestration might have a benefit for patients with progressive NAION has not been answered to a reasonable degree of medical certainty.
Second, including a surgical arm in an investigation of this kind adds special difficulties. This is especially true when there are many centers and surgeons involved in the investigation. Optic nerve sheath fenestration is not a new procedure, having been increasingly employed in the treatment of patients with intracranial hypertension, but it is a low-volume procedure and surgeons may not have achieved the surgical facility that comes with high-volume procedures. Recognizing these potential problems, the IONDT investigators went to heroic lengths to attempt surgical uniformity, including the use of questionnaires and a videotape of a fenestration operation by each study surgeon. The investigators deserve to be lauded for employing these measures. However, it is never easy to navigate between the Scylla of achieving an adequate head count in a clinical trial and the Charybdis of using data pooled from surgeons among whom skill and experience vary. Feldon and colleagues3 described the surgical quality-assurance methods used in the IONDT. It is clear that even within this group of experienced surgeons there were great differences in their surgical technique, including the failure to adhere to 4 of the 6 required steps in the protocol for optic nerve decompression surgery in up to 20% of centers. The other 2 required steps mandated that intervals of sustained traction on the globe be limited to 7 minutes interspersed with at least 2 minutes of "rest." Not only was compliance difficult to assess, but it is possible that even 7 minutes of greatly elevated intraocular pressure was harmful, and this could have been 1 of the factors contributing to the worse visual outcome in the surgical arm of the IONDT.
Given these questions, how has clinical practice changed because of the IONDT? It showed that optic nerve sheath fenestration for nonprogressive NAION in the hands of most surgeons is not helpful, and thus the trial stopped an epidemic of ineffective and possibly dangerous surgery. This in itself completely changed the treatment of NAION. In addition, as reflected in an impressive list of articles published from the IONDT, our knowledge of the clinical features and natural history of the disease has been greatly expanded. The character of the visual field defects, the appearance of the optic disk, and many other elements are now better known because the trial enrolled a rigorously selected patient population who were evaluated in a uniform fashion. Based on the results of the IONDT, every ophthalmologist should know that 43% of patients with NAION experience a spontaneous improvement of at least 3 lines of visual acuity at 6 months. Although it is unclear whether improvement reflects true healing or simply improved scanning strategies, an ophthalmologist armed with this information can offer some hope to NAION patients who are overwhelmed by unexpected visual loss from an as yet untreatable disease. Meanwhile, the search for effective therapies continues.4

Short version: Twitchy caught the typically unhinged Online Leftist reaction to the Onion's... smear? No, they'll claim that it's a parody. Parody smear, I guess... article where they (falsely) had Michele Bachmann say that she was thankful that no "Americans" were killed in Sunday's Oak Creek shooting. Now, I know, I know: comedy is edgy, it's not the Onion's fault that the Left side of its readership consists of room-temperature IQ mouth-breathers, it's all somehow Bachmann's fault that the aforementioned room-temperature IQ mouth-breathers got duped, yadda yadda. I get it, truly: there's a dark side to the First Amendment sometimes, and the Onion is currently right in the middle of it.
But here's the thing... the six people murdered Sunday were, in fact, Americans. I mention this because perhaps the Onion does not really in fact understand this; they have instead seemed to have taken the position that there are useful ways to mine the attack in a fashion that just happens to be in line with a favorite Democratic party narrative. In other words: while I recognize that the attack is being politicized in precisely the fashion being described here...
"The calls not to politicize the tragedy should be starting in an hour, but by 1:30 p.m. tomorrow the issue will have been politicized. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the shooter's high school classmate is interviewed within 45 minutes."
"It's like clockwork," said Gerson, who sighed, shook his head, and walked away.
...I at least hope that the Onion is no longer feeling quite so smug about calling people out on their reaction on the Aurora attacks. Seeing as the Onion is apparently at least just as bad as everybody else when the victims are apparently not as, ah, stereotypically American as some - and there's a conservative female/minority conveniently at hand to blame.
Shorter Moe Lane: the Onion made the world just a little uglier yesterday. Good job, guys.

PS: Pray for the victims' families and loved ones.

If Winnipeg Moves Evander Kane…
by Paul on 12/12/13 at 06:33 PM ET
Comments (5)
from Joe Haggerty of CSNNE,
(Evander) Kane hasn't played since Nov. 29 with a lower body injury, and was off to a seven-goal, 14-point start for the Jets in 26 games this season. More eye-opening has been his behavior off the ice: clashing with Winnipeg coach Claude Noel about the reasons behind being scratched on Nov. 6 against the Chicago Blackhawks, giving short, surly answers to the Winnipeg media and now missing the first half of December with an undisclosed injury.
It certainly doesn't seem like model behavior from a player that refers to himself as #thenatural on Twitter. But it might also be actions Kane hopes will eventually get him moved to a more desirable NHL destination as the Jets seem understandably reluctant to trade a young 30-goal scorer that's locked up for $5.25 million per season for four more years beyond this one.
Expect the Bruins to be a team that would be interested in Kane's service if/when the Jets finally get tired of his act. His combination of size, strength toughness and offensive skill is exactly the kind of player Boston is always looking for on the wing, and the Bruins have the right combination of young assets/valued NHL chips to make a deal happen.
Would anybody take big issue with the Bruins dealing Brad Marchand, Jordan Caron, Malcolm Subban and a high draft pick in exchange for the unhappy Kane if push comes to shove in Winnipeg?

Winnipeg Planning On An Outdoor Game
by Paul on 12/10/13 at 10:25 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press,
The Winnipeg Jets are set to celebrate their fifth anniversary in the NHL with an outdoor game in the winter of 2016.
Jets chairman Mark Chipman confirmed Monday the league and True North have agreed to play a Heritage Classic at Winnipeg's Investors Group Field two seasons from now.
"The NHL has confirmed to me they are going to do an outdoor game in Winnipeg. I don't have a specific date to announce but it would be our preference that we do it in the 2015-16 season," Chipman told the Free Press Monday evening in the lobby of the Inn at Spanish Bay. "The date hasn't been confirmed but our preference is to do it then. The league's commitment to doing an outdoor game in our city is fantastic. It's something we've been talking about for some time and it's part of a significant strategy to do outdoor games and it will be great to be a part of it. We just have to firm up some details and hopefully we'll have a date to announce fairly soon."

Refs Missed The Pick Play On Bouma Goal
by Paul on 11/19/13 at 01:29 PM ET
Comments (1)
from Kerry Fraser of TSN,
Lance Bouma clearly eliminated Dustin Byfuglien with illegal body contact that directly resulted in Bouma scoring a short-handed goal. Bouma should have been assessed an interference penalty negating any opportunity to score on the play. The Jets should have then enjoyed a two-man advantage for one minute and forty seconds.
A "pick" is defined as the action of a player who checks an opponent who is not in possession of the puck and is unaware of the impending check/hit. A player delivering a "pick" is one who moves into an opponent's path without initially having body position, thereby taking him out of the play. When this is done, an interference penalty shall be assessed. Lance Bouma got away with a text book example of a "moving pick" when he eliminated defender Dustin Byfuglien and then put himself in position to receive a pass from Matt Stajan and slip the puck past Winnipeg goalkeeper Al Montoya.

The Jets And The Refs
by Paul on 11/19/13 at 07:29 AM ET
Comments (1)
from Tim Campbell of the Winnipeg Free Press,
The three most popular theories for this kind of night where it concerns the Jets are the following:
The officials simply had a bad night. It happens.
The officials feel it's easy to kick the Jets around since they are basically still the new kids of the NHL block. Nobody will mind all that much.
The officials have an intense dislike of Jets winger Evander Kane, who is rarely without an opinion or comment during the games, so Kane and his team just don't get the benefit of any doubt. One NHL official has privately expressed that sentiment to a Winnipeg reporter not that long ago but whether it's real or widespread can't really be verified.
All of that aside, Monday's incidents were more than interesting.
Calgary's Lance Bouma skated directly at Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien on a two-on-two and bowled him out of the way, an interference that provided Bouma's opening to score a short-handed goal.
The play became a virtual wash when Byfuglien scored a power-play goal a few seconds later.
In overtime, with the Jets a man short, Byfuglien was bopped and upended by Calgary goalie Reto Berra as he rounded the net. It was ignored.
And then at the end of overtime, Jets centre Bryan Little said all he did was shake his head at the officials. That earned him a misconduct and an important disqualification from the shootout.
more and you can watch the higlights of the game below via Sportsnet and the Bouma "interference" starts at the 1:00 mark...

Bogosian Injury May Be An Issue For The Jets
by Paul on 11/16/13 at 03:29 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Paul Wiecek of the Winnipeg Free Press,
Noel told reporters Saturday morning following his team's practice at MTS Centre that Bogosian -- who suffered a lower-body injury late in the second period of Winnipeg's 3-2 shooutout win over Philadelphia Friday night -- will definitely not play on Sunday in St. Paul and he fears that Bogosian may be out longer than that.
"Bogosian gets further assessment later this afternoon, so he will not be a player in the game tomorrow. And right now I'm not sure he's day to day -- it's longer than that," said Noel.
With Bogosian out for at least Sunday's game and likely longer, Zach Redmond will on Sunday play his first NHL regular season game since the femoral artery in his right leg was cut by an errant skate in a freak accident during Jets practice in Raleigh, North Carolina Feb. 21.

"We got the point and that's a good thing but I don't know what to say, it's frustrating.
"Positive? We lost the game in overtime. I don't take any positive. We needed points and that's all that matters. If we're going to tell ourselves, oh well, we played good in one period and we're going to build on it. No. At the end of the day we needed two points."
-Ondrej Pavelec, goaltender for the Winnipeg Jets after losing with 17 seconds left in OT last night. More on the game from Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun.

Claude Noel Wants His Team To Work Harder
by Paul on 10/22/13 at 08:42 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun,
On a day that saw the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets conduct team and individual meetings, Noel gave an honest assessment of where things stand with his team.
"The problem right now is that we're trying to put skill ahead of work — we've got it backwards," said Noel, whose club rounds out a six-game homestand against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday at MTS Centre. "I know you're going to try and decipher all of the things, but that's the root of the problem. Work first, skill second. The thing that I find is that we care, we've just got things in the wrong order and we've got to get them in the right order.
"That's my job and that's what we're trying to do."
Noel has already sent a message to several players by making by making them a healthy scratch but on far too many nights through nine games, the Jets just haven't had enough guys going at the same time.
Given the fact this roster isn't overflowing with superstars, that's a big problem.

The Same Story For The Jets
by Paul on 10/21/13 at 08:45 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press,
It was less than a week ago when Evander Kane went public with a plea for more "FU" in the Winnipeg Jets' game -- the not-so-subtle suggestion he and his teammates needed to play with a little more edge, a little more anger and a little more desperation.
What they served up in Sunday night's 3-1 stinker to the Nashville Predators in front of a sold out-but-bored-stiff MTS Centre crowd could best be described as way more P-U than FU.
Yes, as the old saying goes, Claude Noel & Co. won't need to watch the game tape to smell this one.
"We have to face reality: the way we play, we can't be a success," said goaltender Ondrej Pavelec. "We have to find a way to start winning games. The way we play, all season long pretty much, it's not a way we can be successful. We have to change something and we have to change something now.
"We have said so many times that if we want to win we have to play the whole 60 minutes. It's been the same story all season long."

Reviews for Big Apple Greeter
Big Apple Greeter serves a unique role in New York City's life. For so many visitors Big Apple through the years has been able to show the sunny side of the Big Apple. Manhattan is of course a shining gem and a World capital with world class delights, cultural attractions, educational and entertainment opportunities but Big Apple Greeters through it's volunteers and programs has opened up the rest of the city to visitors, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx and Staten Island and because of their efforts folks walk away with a special personalized experience. Folks carry with them a love an affection for New York they would not have otherwise.

If there resources were there I would expand Big Apple Greeter's operations so that they could have at least one office in every Borough of the city.
I am lucky to run the two all news radio stations in New York City. They are an integral part of the fabric of the Big Apple. AND SO IS BIG APPLE GREETER. A news station spends much of its time delivering news that is usually not too happy. But one of the stories we have been able to report on is this great volunteer organization that is devoted to showing people who visit our city just how GRAND it is. There can't be a better way to make the image of NYC glitter than the personal touch that Big Apple Greeters have with visitors. I know that visitors leave our city with a warm glow and memories they will always cherish because of the caring, personable and attentive sharing provided by the Big Apple volunteers. And, now being on the Board of Directors, I see first hand the caring, passion and enthusiasm the volunteers have. It is an honor to know that New Yorkers care so much about showing off their city and spend hours of their own time making wonderful experiences for those who visit New York.

Everyone who comes to New York should see all the wonderful and high profile venues it has to offer. But if they also want to experience the Big Apple from a real New Yorker's point of view, they should take a neighborhood tour from a Big Apple Greeter (BAG) volunteer. BAG is a magical and unrivaled New York "happening" that takes you behind the scenes in places you would never get to visit otherwise. BAG leaves you with an emotional attachment to the widely varied and unique neighborhoods that make up a City where over 106 languages are spoken each day. Big Apple Greeter doesn't sugar coat New York, but will nonetheless leave a visitor with sweet memories!
