Converting Matroska file format to m2ts for use on PS3 has number of advantages. PS3 is able to play mt2s directly from the USB or m2ts file can be copied directly to PS3 it self. There is also way to transcode matroska mkv format with some media server such as "PS3 Media Server". However the disadvantages are that you need to have yet another PC on every time you want to watch and fast rewind forward does not work properly if you do not have fast network and CPU.
If we want to convert mkv to m2ts and yet avoiding propriety software and use Linux, the easiest way is to use mkv2m2ts.sh shell script created by Brian Kulyk. Using mkv2m2ts.sh script is simple, however installation of all pre-requisites to get the script running may be little bit tricky especially if your current Linux distribution does not include tsMuxeR and media mediainfo tools. In this article I'm using chroot debian-sid environment to get available prerequisites from Debian sid and multimedia repository and compile mediainfo from source code. If you do not have chroot debian-sid installation follow this simple chroot tutorial.
First we need to download Debian multimedia keyring and install it with dpkg:
# dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
Use your favorite text editor and add following line into /etc/apt/source.list file:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main non-free
# apt-get update # apt-get install tsmuxer bzip2 aften mkvtoolnix libdca-utils faad vorbis-tools
before we can start compilation of mediainfo package we need to download a source code.
Extract, compile and install mediainfo software:
# tar xvjf MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.33_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2 # cd MediaInfo_CLI_GNU_FromSource # ./CLI_Compile.sh # cd MediaInfo/Project/GNU/CLI && make install
Get mkv2m2ts.sh script
# wget http://mediatomb.equateuk.com/scripts/mkv2m2ts/mkv2m2ts.sh # chmod +x mkv2m2ts.sh
./mkv2m2ts.sh mkv_matroska_format.mkv
pax is an archive utility somewhere between cpio and tar. This is just because is independent of the specific archive format, and supports a wide variety of different archive formats. It can perform simple tasks as creating a compressed archive of a selected directory or it can as much easily create a daily incremental backups. In this short article we will see how to protect our daily work by creating an incremental backup with pax. Read more ...
Although FAT32 or FAT16 are very old file systems, which reflects on their poor performance in comparison with other file system alternatives they are still widely used by many electronic devices. Usually, these devices include USB stick's, digital cameras , camcorders and etc. Chances are that you own and store personal data on a device with FAT flesystem is very high as is a likelihood of an accidental deletion of your important data. In this article we will use testdisk utility to undelete files from FAT file system.
OOPS.. I have accidentally removed a video file from my camcorder ! The first thing before we start panic is to unmount USB device and create a low level backup of the device partition with a dd command.
If from any reason you cannot unmount your device, remount it with read-only permissions:
# mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdX
Any data written or file manipulation after accidental file removal will weaken our chances for deleted file recovery. On the other hand creation of a low level backup with dd command gives us an opportunity for unlimited recovery attempts since we are always able to put the entire partition back bit by bit exactly as it was right after accidental file deletion.
After file deletion from a FAT file system the actual file was not removed immediately, but the sectors on which the file resides is now available to be overwritten. From this reason a backup of the entire partition:
# dd if=/dev/sdX of=/my/storage/backup_sdX.dd
To recover a backup for *.dd file we simple reverse the process:
# dd if=/my/storage/backup_sdX.dd of=/dev/sdX
To test testdisk recovery utility we will create a vfat file system, store video.mp4 and readme.txt files, get md5sum and simply remove and undelete both files.Read more ...

Today we move on to the final part of our Understanding Your Financial Aid Award Letter series. If you were lucky enough to have your entire tuition paid through free money for college, then you can stop reading now. But the vast majority of students who apply for aid will be awarded at least one less ideal form of financial aid. Sorting through the rest of your award letter is the tough part--this is where difficult choices may need to be made, including whether and how much to borrow.
Understanding Your Award Letter, Part III: Work-Study and Student Loans
While you probably would not want to decline any of the free money we discussed last week, you may want to turn down some of the aid covered today. You are allowed to decline any assistance on your award letter if you feel you will not need it, and you can also elect to take a smaller amount than what is given. Keep this in mind when budgeting for the year, and don't feel obligated to borrow more than you need. If you change your mind and need this aid later, you can usually get it back.
Federal Work-Study
If you have remaining financial need after any grants and scholarships you've been awarded, you may see an award of federal work-study on your letter. This is a federally subsidized program for students working certain jobs on, and occasionally off, campus. Work-study is not money you will receive up front. You need to get a job that is funded through the work-study program to receive this money, and it will be given to you as a paycheck, not as money off your bill. Since many jobs on campus are reserved for work-study students, it can be a great option if you're planning to work while you're in college.
However, if you already have a job that is not funded through work-study or you do not plan to work, you may want to decline this award. There's no penalty for failing to use your work-study, but if you've been funded to your full need or cost of attendance, canceling your work-study may free up space for more or better student loans than you would have otherwise received.
Student Loans
There are two main categories of student loans: federal loans and private loans. Federal loans include subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans, as well as Perkins Loans and PLUS Loans. Private loans come from banks and typically carry higher interest rates, though some states offer their own low-interest student loan programs. Depending on whether the school you attend participates in the Federal Direct Loans Program, or the bank-based Federal Family Education Loan Program, your federal Stafford Loans and PLUS Loans may be issued by a bank, but their terms are still set by the federal government. We have more detailed breakdowns of the different forms of student loans on our site, but here's a quick refresher, in rough order of desirability.
Federal Perkins Loans
Currently, Perkins Loans have limited funding and are often reserved for students with higher financial need. Schools award these at their discretion, but you apply for them through the FAFSA. However, if you receive one, you may want to take it, as they currently carry the lowest interest rates and some of the most favorable repayment terms. Perkins Loans have a fixed 5 percent interest rate and a 10 year repayment period. They are subsidized loans, which means interest does not accrue while you are in school. They also have a 9-month grace period before repayment begins. The current Perkins Loan limits are $5,500 per year for undergraduates and $8,000 per year for graduate students.
Federal Stafford Loans
PLUS Loans
You may or may not see a PLUS Loan listed on your award letter. This is a federal loan program that allows parents to borrow for their students, up to the student's full cost of attendance. Some schools include these to fill the gap between your financial aid and your cost of attendance, as a way of letting you know the option exists. While you are guaranteed to receive a Stafford Loan regardless of your credit, so long as you complete a few basic requirements, PLUS Loans, like private loans, require an application and a credit check (if your parents are denied a PLUS Loan, you can apply for additional Stafford Loans through the financial aid office).
Whether or not you see a PLUS Loan on your award letter, if you still need to borrow money to pay for school, this loan can be an option for many. PLUS Loans currently carry a fixed interest rate of 7.9 percent for Direct Loans and 8.5 percent for FFEL. Loans can be repaid immediately or starting six months after graduation, but interest will accrue while you're in school. Research the relative merits of PLUS Loans and various private loans and discuss with your family which option will be best for you.
Going to college doesn't have to break the bank or saddle you with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. Check out the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search where you'll discover you qualify for hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships in just a few minutes, then apply and win! It's that easy!

|Elizabeth Alfreda McPherson nee Foss
circa 1918, Crow Wing Lake, MN
I think I would have like a more personal time with my grandmother. Unfortunately, my earliest memories of her centered around driving from Klamath Falls to Anderson, California, for Christmas dinner. The trip was arduous with about 150 miles of curves that snaked down through the canyons roads that left the towns of Weed and Dunsmuir in the rear view mirror as we climbed out of the canyon to Redding and finally to the little town of Anderson. These weren't great trips; leaving our Christmas tree and all the presents for a two hour drive with periodic stops with my sister or I throwing up along side the road.
When we finally arrived, my cousins and I were in a world of play, far from the grownups. My grandmother, while I am sure she loved us grandchildren, her joy was heaped on her adult children --- there were ten of them, all independent, energetic, and boisterous. She would cook and bake and hover over them. Their family was a card playing bunch, but she seemed to live for the meal times when the cards were put away, the table set and she could minister to her children.
By the time I was eleven or twelve, my Klamath county cousins and I would spend spring vacations in Anderson with my grandparents. However, the memories of those days center mostly around my California cousin and his friends. Another memory I have of her is a visit I made to see her when I graduated from high school. I drove my car down to Lake Shasta where all of my senior classmates were all to meet, but I decided instead to visit grandma and grandpa in Central Valley, which was on the way to Shasta Lake. I don't remember very much about that visit, except that it seemed important that I make the visit. I never saw her again; she was dead six weeks later. Some say she never recovered from my father's tragic death two years before.
Somehow, I want to reconcile this image of the aged grandmother of my childhood, with the vibrant 36 year-old woman in the above picture. At this time this picture was taken she had been married for over twenty years, and had born nine, and possibly 10 children, with three more to be born in the next seven years.
She had been ill a few years before with some mysterious malady that left her paralyzed for "13 months." Some said it was polio, but there was not, to my knowledge, any after-effects that usually follow that disease. At the time of her illness, she and her family lived in northern Minnesota. Her husband Jabez, bundled her up in an overstuffed chair, loaded her and five of their then six children (a newborn baby was left with her mother-in-law) onto a train and headed for a hospital, which was most likely in Madison, Wisconsin where her parents lived. During this illness, she also gave birth to my father, as well as losing a daughter to pneumonia. According to family stories, the doctors told her that she would never walk again, at which point her husband took her home to start his own process of rehabilitation. He insisted that she eat dinner at the table, even if she had to be hand-fed; for months, he walked her back and forth the length of the room with him holding the broomstick and walking backwards, she grasping the broomstick and struggling to move her legs forward. And walk she did. They returned to northern Minnesota where they lived on farms around Crow Lake; she had four more children while living near Crow Lake, which brought the total number of living children to nine. She seemed to have a fairly close relationship with AxieAxie Root, an Indian midwife who was brought to attend to her during birth of at least three of her children. In fact, the birth certificate for one of the daughters showed the child's given name as Axie (which evidently was later changed or "corrected."
From the letters of my Uncle Ralph, who was her oldest son, I have images of an energetic, hard-working woman who cleaned, cooked, canned and cared for her family; images of her harnessing the team of horses in the middle of night, in a snowy, cold Minnesota winter, to drive to the train-stop in the middle of no-where to pick up her husband, who periodically had to take jobs away from home to make ends meet. She would brave the snowy Minnesota weather to board the train to travel to Wisconsin to tend to her ill mother. Her children seemed to be in agreement that she would do anything for her family. Often I have heard her younger daughters call her a "saint." though I never understood what them meant, other than she lived for them.
Another facet of her life that I have come to appreciate is how close she and my grandfather were. From the time she was a new bride, she would travel across state after state with him. Some women would follow their husbands, but complain about their husbands and what they left behind. Somehow, my grandmother seemed to take it all with her, from Wisconsin, to Iowa, and back, on to Minnesota, then to California and back, three times no less, and finally traversing several times the length of California to southern Oregon and points in between. I have called my grandparents "wanderers." Although that term may not do justice to them, the two of them were always together.
When I started this piece about Elizabeth Alfreda McPherson, I was searching for her, for her story, for all that I missed not really knowing her when I was a child. Even now, the picture of her in my mind tends to clear, then cloud up with the unknown, but I feel closer to this grandmother of mine than ever before. I can feel her love of her family and her Jabez, and theirs for her, that carried her through the more than fifty years and thousands of miles --- and that is enough for me.

I love the heat. Although my colleagues and my friends always complain and say
that heat is ugly, I like it a lot.
Not only because the sun puts me in a good mood,
but because people dress better when it's hot.
Women wear short skirts and everybody choose more colorful clothes. The heat seemed to awaken the creativity of people.
So, on a hot day I took the camera and went outside. I'm not really a photographer but the models were very kind. All of them smiled and agreed to display their outfits for being seen by the rest of the world.
Definitely my favorite shoes are sandals. If I could, I'd always go barefoot. That's
why I like sandals so much: they are the closest thing to going barefoot.
I also like hats because they can make a simple outfit look a little bit glamorous.
By the way, in Mexico City it doesn't matter how hot it is or how much the sun is shining: an umbrella is always necessary. Rain is always waiting around the corner of the sky…

Capital Journal Daybreak: Conflicting Rulings Put Health-Law Subsidies at Risk | U.S. Lays Out Case Against Russians | Paul Ryan's Anti-Poverty Plan
Sign up for the newsletter: http://on.wsj.com/CapitalJournalSignup
CONFLICTING RULINGS ON HEALTH-LAW SUBSIDIES: Conflicting rulings issued by two U.S. appeals courts Tuesday on whether consumers can get subsidies for health coverage bought on the Affordable Care Act's federal exchange are escalating a legal battle that could complicate fall insurance enrollment and jeopardize tax credits for millions of Americans. A D.C. Court of Appeals panel cast a blow to President Barack Obama's signature legislative achievement by invalidating an Internal Revenue Service regulation that implemented a key piece of the 2010 health law. But two hours later, a three-judge panel of the Richmond Court of Appeals reached the opposite conclusion.
These rulings won't have an immediate impact on the subsidies, which an estimated 4.7 million Americans have received on the federal exchange. But they raise a new set of legal unknowns that likely won't be settled before open enrollment begins Nov. 15, which health-industry officials fear could cause more confusion for consumers. If the two courts stay in conflict, the Supreme Court would likely have to step in to resolve the dispute—setting the stage for the third high-court ruling on the health law. If the D.C. Circuit's ruling prevails, it could cripple the law. Brent Kendall and Stephanie Armour report.

Republican lawmakers have spent much of 2014 talking about ways to restructure anti-poverty programs, but the rubber will meet the road when Mr. Ryan unveils several new proposals as part of a speech Thursday. Mr. Ryan plans to target six themes in his proposal. Here are five things to expect to hear from him. Read Damian Paletta's full post in Washington Wire.
U.S. LAYS OUT CASE AGAINST RUSSIANS: U.S. intelligence officials laid out their most detailed case yet that Russian-backed Ukrainian separatists shot down the Malaysia Airlines jetliner last week, in a bid to counter what American officials see as Russian efforts to cast blame on Ukraine. The officials relied on photographs, social media and voiceprint analysis of Ukrainian communications intercepts to make their public case that a likely SA-11 antiaircraft weapon fired from separatist-controlled territory shot down the airliner, killing 298 people on board. Siobhan Gorman and Paul Sonne report.
U.S. BARS FLIGHTS TO TEL AVIV: The U.S. barred flights to Tel Aviv for at least 24 hours after a rocket from Gaza landed nearby, prompting Israel to angrily brand the ban as a boon to Hamas's efforts to isolate the country. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed to Secretary of State John Kerry to restore flights while the diplomat was in Cairo trying to broker a cease-fire. The suspension comes amid growing anxiety about airlines' and passengers' safety since the Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down last week. Joshua Mitnick, Andy Pasztor and Susan Carey report.
CITIES OFFER MIGRANT MINORS SHELTER: Leaders of several U.S. cities and at least one state have offered to take in some of the thousands of unaccompanied minors from Central America who have swarmed the southern U.S. border in recent months, amid vocal opposition in other places to housing the children. Youngsters who have been apprehended remain in federal custody until they have received medical screening and can be released to an adult sponsor. But the recent surge has caused a shortage of space and a rush to find additional housing options. Miriam Jordan reports.
ALSO IN THE NEWS: Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Israel in a bid to end more than two weeks of fighting between Israel and the militant Palestinian group Hamas … The first plane carrying bodies of the victims of the Malaysia Airlines crash left Ukraine for the Netherlands … Republican David Perdue will face Democrat Michelle Nunn in the Senate race in Georgia … In response to a Supreme Court order, the Obama administration plans to revise a compromise arrangement for religiously affiliated universities and charities that object to providing contraception in workers' health insurance plans … President Obama's nominee to head Veterans' Affairs received a warm reception at his confirmation hearing … An examination found that Deutsche Bank AG's giant U.S. operations suffer from a litany of serious financial-reporting problems … Existing-home sales hit their highest level since October last month … A new twist has been added to the ever-evolving story of the missing IRS emails.
–Compiled by Rebecca Ballhaus
As crises around the world continue to blaze, Republicans are pointing to the president's two-day fundraising trip to the West Coast as an example of him being out of touch. But is this a fair criticism? Jerry Seib describes how this criticism is a time-honored tradition for presidents.
–DODD-FRANK HEARING: Former Rep. Barney Frank will testify before the House Financial Services Committee to defend the four-year financial law that bears his name. House Financial Services Committee Republicans are mounting fresh criticism of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, contending that it failed to end the prospect of future government bailouts for large, complex financial firms.
–MONEY-FUND REFORMS: U.S. securities regulators will take long-awaited action to rein in risks posed by money-market mutual funds on the financial system.
–FUNDRAISING: President Obama is in California through Thursday to attend fundraising events for Democrats.
–SCHOOL NUTRITION: A hearing on school nutrition is planned for the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry amid a debate around school nutrition policy and concerns that the stricter regulations led to food waste in schools and a drop in program participation.
Slate's Emily Bazelon says Obamacare supporters needn't hit the panic button over the ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court prohibiting subsidies that insurance policies bought on federal rather than state exchanges. The Fourth Circuit ruled otherwise, she writes, and the D.C. Circuit's logic is so weak it's likely to be overturned.
However, National Review's John Daniel Davidson lauds the D.C. Circuit's ruling, saying it correctly interprets the differences in the way the law approaches state-run exchanges and those run by the federal government. The law, he writes, made a distinction on who got subsidies "specifically to entice states to implement a federal policy that the administration wanted state governments to carry out on its behalf."
Meanwhile, conservatives won a less-heralded victory in the House by defeating a bill that would have launched an Energy Department program to research rare earth minerals, a step that foes said would expand the government's role in an important industry, writes Cristina Marcos of The Hill.
Anshel Pfeffer of Haaretz writes that the cancellation of some flights to Tel Aviv's airport because of a nearby Hamas missile strike, though temporary, will have a "significant" impact on Israel's psychology and will likely prompt the Israeli government to "order a much more devastating blow" in a ground operation against Hamas than it would have otherwise.
In WSJ's Think Tank, David Wessel writes that the arrival of a Congress that is "unable to agree on almost anything" has increased the power of the courts, because lawmakers are incapable of responding to court interpretation of statutes, even when judges invite them to do so.
The government is expected to spend $17 billion in fiscal 2014 on health insurance exchange subsidies, according to research by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The average size of a federal subsidy for each enrollee getting one in 2015 will be $4,250.

Ohio Northern University to graduate first individual with Bachelor of Science in engineering education
Ohio Northern University will award the nation's first Bachelor of Science in engineering education to Elizabeth Spingola, a 2014 candidate for graduation from Butler, Pa., during commencement ceremonies on Sunday, May 11.
Spingola, who will enter a Ph.D. program in engineering education at Virginia Tech following her graduation, is the first graduate from the ONU engineering education program, which was introduced in 2011.
ONU's degree program in engineering education is the first of its kind in Ohio and one of the first in the nation. The program directly addresses the need to develop a new generation of high school students who can contribute to solving our nation's challenges through engineering and innovation. The four-year engineering degree will prepare graduates to become licensed secondary math teachers but with a more specialized perspective than teachers who have a traditional education diploma.
Kenneth Reid, ONU director of engineering education and associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, said "As the first graduate in engineering education, Liz is already a pioneer. We expect her to continue to do great things and bring recognition to the program as she continues toward her Ph.D. As more of our first cohorts of students graduate, we hope to really make a difference with students pursuing research opportunities in grad school to students entering K-12 as math teachers."
An honor student, Spingola is active in numerous community and service organizations. She served on the Relay for Life committee as well as the Northern Engineering Without Boundries as a member and officer. She also volunteered for every outreach activity to introduce engineering to K-12 students. Spingola was a volunteer serving at STEM in the Park (Bowling Green) and STEM Days (Piqua high school) for the past two years, since the programs have existed.
Spingola also served as project manager for the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) project to build a scale-model replica of the Mars rover Curiosity for the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio. She also served on the team helping to develop the TEAMS competition for the Technology Student Association, serving as a reviewer for regional- and national-level conference papers. She has published at least seven conference papers and presented at national-level conferences such as Frontiers in Education and the ASEE annual conference.

text: Lin's displaying a Miami-esque offensive performance. His defence has been quite good though. Fields is playing smart, and Stoudamire is stepping it up, as he has been gradually for the past month. I know Davis has been injured on and off which hasn't allowed him to get into his groove, but if he only kept it slightly simple, he'd have the lead in double digits. If he stays healthy, he'll be an incredibly useful piece in the battle for a good post-season.

Find Your Passion: Coming to Theaters Near You
By Tyra Jackson
Alex Beatty spends his days crafting stories that have made it to big screens in places like Hollywood and Cannes, France.
Unlike most filmmakers who could boast the same, Beatty, from Orlando, Fla., is a senior in college. The University of Alabama telecommunication and film major's resume reads like one belonging to someone twice his age.
"I love the process of storytelling through film," Beatty says. "It comes naturally to me to find something big and make it into something new."
Beatty competed against thousands of students nationwide at the 2013 Campus MovieFest in California, where he took home an award for best editing for his film "Rise," which also was selected from more than 60,000 short films to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
"Rise" tells the fictional story of a military unit hit by an improvised explosive device and the single uninjured soldier's struggle to face the reality of the ensuing chaos.
The trip to Cannes was Beatty's second; his short film "Here and Now," about a young man growing up after the tragic loss of his mother, was selected for screening in 2012.
Beatty said he uses his films to shine light on tragic and emotional events. Storytelling through film was not always Beatty's passion. When he chose to attend UA, he planned to focus on broadcast news.
"Little did I know that I would fall in love with film and not just the technical aspects of it, but everything," Beatty says. "Film has the ability to tell a story just as a book or a news article, but filmmaking takes it even further with being able to develop a visual story that people can see to even further the personal experience.
"I have learned how to do that through UA's film program. The film program is getting better and better each year with new equipment and the professors that have a passion for film themselves and going beyond the duties of a traditional professor."
Beatty's love for filmmaking has grown in recent years, but his production talent has been evident for much longer. He started his own production company, Project One Studios, as a junior in high school, and he continues to run the freelance business.
He is president of The Student Producers Association, is currently working on another short film and recently had the opportunity to help American Idol producers as a personal assistant.
"I got to help interview some of the contestants on Idol," Beatty says. "At any given time there are three to four projects that I'm working on, and I just try to stay busy."
He said his experience at UA has helped him develop and see success as a filmmaker.
"It's easy to connect with people here at UA versus going to a bigger film school in California where there are so many people," Beatty says. "I have been able to be really diverse with my work at UA."

Swiss Banks Have Paid $1.24 Billion
NEW YORK — Holocaust survivors and victims' heirs have received $1.24 billion from a Swiss fund set up in 1998 following a scandal over dormant accounts of Jews killed in World War II, according to a Swiss Jewish weekly.
Tachles said the figure appeared in a report by New York Judge Edward Korman, who oversees the management of the fund.
Korman's report summed up operations since the landmark deal was signed between the World Jewish Congress and Swiss banks.
The banks were accused of keeping money owned by Jews who had hidden funds in secret accounts in neutral Switzerland but then perished in the Holocaust, and of stonewalling heirs who tried to track down the money.
Under the accord, the $1.25 billion settlement was transformed into U.S. government bonds. Payouts were then overseen by Korman and the Swiss-based Claims Resolution Tribunal, which wrapped up its operations in 2012.
All told, 457,000 Holocaust survivors and heirs have therefore received money from the fund.

7 Biggest Small-Business Trends in 2013
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- From growing a franchise to entering the cloud to purchasing a tablet computer, here are the seven best trends for small businesses this year.
1. Franchising as a career alternative is set to explode.
Franchise consulting firm FranNet saw business booming in the latter half of 2012. As of December, the company expected to finish the year at an all-time high, with about $14 million in gross revenue, up 44% year over year. FranNet had a 30% to 40% increase in clients looking to open their own franchise, says president and COO Jania Bailey.
The company expects 2013 to be another record year.
"We do not foresee a surge in hiring from corporate America," Bailey says. "We expect the high unemployment to continue due to the uncertainty of new regulations, tax issues and mandated health care. Many former executives are realizing that they will not have the job they have been looking for over the past several months. These executives are turning to franchise ownership as a career alternative."
There is also a lot of interest in franchising from younger people due to the lack of jobs. "These young people are getting out of college and cannot find employment. We see a lot of parents exploring franchising for their college graduates," Bailey says.
The International Franchise Association is not quite as optimistic. The trade association predicted the number of franchise establishments in the U.S. will increase by just 1.4% in 2013, short of the 1.5% growth in 2012, from 746,828 to 757,055 units.
Franchise output is expected to rise 4.3% this year to $802 billion, down from 4.9% growth in 2012, according to the IFA.
Franchisors and prospective investors are cautious given the turmoil in Washington as well as a mediocre macroeconomic outlook, the IFA says.
"The basic indicators of the health of the franchise sector will show a slight slowdown," the IFA said in December. "Yet the franchise sector will continue to do well within the industries where franchise businesses are concentrated."
To be sure, financing also continues to be a challenge, Bailey says, particularly for high-end concepts, yet "we have seen lending start to loosen in many areas of the country and we are hopeful this will continue to improve," she notes.
2. Are you prepared for the 1099-K?
While the Internal Revenue Service took measures last year to ease burdens placed on small businesses by 1099-K filing requirements , that form is still causing loads of stress.
"Small-business owners need to be prepared for the 1099-K form. It shows what their revenue for the past year has been. If the revenue figures reported by a business in their tax return do not match the 1099-K, it is a trigger for the IRS to issue an audit. As we all know, audits are no fun! So it is crucial to make sure your tax return numbers match your 1099-K," Outright.com CEO Steven Aldrich says.

By Jim Lee
I was recently invited to present a talk to a Portales organization called P.E.O.
Nobody I asked seemed to know what name those initials represented … either that or it was none of my business.
However, I did learn that the organization does good work for this community and beyond.
P.E.O. is a philanthropic educational organization of dedicated volunteers working hard to provide scholarships for deserving women. When I was asked to speak I had no idea why anybody would want to listen to me, but it was a great honor — whether I deserved it or not.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself, but I still don't know why a philanthropic educational organization calls itself "P.E.O."
The specifics of my presentation were pretty much left up to me, but it was supposed to be something related to "heart." I put that word in quotation marks because the term, I assume, is metaphorical.
It had to be about the symbol because if they had wanted cardiac information they would have invited a medical professional — which I ain't, by a long shot.
The general topic of "heart" got me to thinking about why on earth had this blood-squirting muscle become the symbol for probably the strongest emotion a human can have. Why should this organ have more emotional identification than any other item in our vast array of innards? Doesn't it make just as much sense to say "I love you with all of my spleen?" How about best wishes from the bottom of one's pancreas?
Regardless of the gut selection, isn't the emotion every bit as much lungfelt?
Oh, well.
I suppose we can attach an emotion to just about any object. Love is such an important feeling, the symbol probably doesn't matter all that much. Heart is just as good as anything else, so I might as well get back to the topic.
I was supposed to start the talk with a song. Those nice people didn't anticipate the can of crawlies that opened up. Nine states have passed legislation making it a felony for me to sing inside their borders. Dogs have been known to howl for days upon being warned of a pending song from me. By comparison, Roseanne Barr would be given an award by American Legion for her rendition of the National Anthem.
I warned the group that my singing voice could be a violation of the Geneva Convention, but to no avail.
So I did my little song. Fortunately, it was very brief. Even at that, though, three people smashed their hearing aids with a ball peen hammer. (I wonder if Saundra would catch me putting a nice hammer like that one in my tool box.)
After the neighborhood dogs stopped wailing and the police helicopter went on its way, I started my talk.
The group seemed to enjoy it. After being subjected to my singing voice, any sound would seem like a tulip in a weed patch. Afterward, they politely asked questions and served refreshments.
The refreshments were great. The only thing better than the refreshments at the gathering was the group of great people who invited me. It was certainly a privilege and delight to participate. I appreciate the honor of meeting these dedicated women and learning of their service to the community.
A few days later I received a thank-you card with a nice handwritten note inside. I was very touched by that gesture, but I felt as though I should have been the one sending a card. I should have thanked these wonderful women for providing such a good experience, and we all should thank them for their dedicated service.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
January 6, 2012
The Department of Economics and Finance at The University of Texas at El Paso released its Borderplex Economic Outlook: 2011-2013 report this week as part of the UTEP Border Region Modeling Project.
The report outlines trends and forecasts future performance in various sectors of the El Paso, Las Cruces, Ciudad Juarez, and Chihuahua City metropolitan economies. In El Paso, improvements are expected in terms of labor market conditions and the overall rate of business formation, said Tom Fullerton, Ph.D., professor of economics at UTEP and co-author of the report.
"Ongoing expansion at Fort Bliss will continue to benefit economic performance in El Paso," Fullerton said. "That includes the local housing market."
Fullerton and Adam Walke, an economics research associate at UTEP, compiled data for multiple segments of the regional economy including income levels, housing prices, commerce, demography, and migration. Model simulations are summarized in 18 different statistical tables that quantify regional economic performance from 2003 forward with forecasts through 2013. Despite recent financial uncertainty in the United States and countries in Europe, the report suggests possible gains in the housing and retail sectors, which should have positive impacts on the El Paso area economy.
"Following an up and down year in 2011, housing prices are projected to climb steadily in 2012 and 2013," Fullerton said. "Although mortgage rates are very likely to increase above current record low levels, affordability is not expected to erode precipitously."
As a result, Fullerton suggested that sales of existing units should perform well through the next two years and residential construction activity should remain economically healthy, especially when compared to many other parts of the country. From a regional perspective, better economic conditions also are expected to prevail in Las Cruces, Ciudad Juarez, and Chihuahua City. Export manufacturing is expected to lead the charge south of the border, while multiple sectors contribute to better overall performance in Las Cruces.
Borderplex Economic Outlook: 2011-2013 is available for sale from the Border Region Modeling Project of the UTEP Department of Economics and Finance at 915-747-7775 or via email at email@example.com.
Information: Tom Fullerton, 915-747-7747, or Adam Walke, 915-747-7775.

Special Nutritional Needs
Note that some individuals need to follow special diets to address particular health concerns, such as heart disease. They should follow the diet recommended by their physician.
Also, an individual's age and health must be factored into their nutritional choices. Growing children, teenagers, women, pregnant women, and older adults have a higher need for some nutrients. For example:
- Older adults need extra vitamin D.
- Adult women need almost one-third more calcium intake than adult men of similar age. (Women will most likely need to add calcium supplements to achieve adequate calcium intake.)
- Pregnant women (and those considering pregnancy) should take folic acid supplements to prevent birth defects. They frequently need to add iron supplements and calcium rich foods to supplement their diet.

"Listening to your programs, I have learned a lot about apologetics and have enjoyed playing broadcasts for my youth group, friends, and family who are looking for answers. Your ministry is invaluable. I hope to continue as a Radio Club member forever."
~ Sean, Highland, NY
"Let us then not be ashamed to confess the Crucified. Be the cross our seal, made with boldness by our fingers on our brow and in everything; over the bread we eat and the cups we drink, in our comings and in goings out; before our sleep, when we lie down and when we awake; when we are travelling, and when we are at rest."
~ St. Cyril of Jerusalem in his "Catecheses" (xiii, 36), on the sign of the cross, a practice familiar to Christians in the second century and which had passed into a gesture of benediction by the fourth century, as many quotations from the Fathers show

Even with an endless parade of new restaurant openings in Los Angeles, my current obsession is an unassuming eight-year-old Vietnamese spot in El Monte. My friend Thien introduced me to Kim Hoa Hue Restaurant a few weeks ago, and I've already been back three times since. This place is really something dac biet.
Whereas most Vietnamese restaurants in town serve a menu of the country's greatest hits, like pho, bun, and the like, Kim Hoa Hue specializes in Central Vietnamese fare, specifically the cuisine from Hue. As Vietnam's former imperial capital, Hue is renowned for its sophisticated cuisine, developed by the cooks of the royal court.
On each of my visits here, my dining companions and I feasted like kings. Never missing from our spread was the Hue Combo ($6.25), a sample platter of delicate delights: banh beo (steamed rice cakes topped with shrimp and cracklins), banh nam (rice cakes embedded with shrimp and steamed in banana leaves), banh bot loc (shrimp and pork dumplings), cha (steamed pork forcemeat), and banh uot tom chay (rice sheets stuffed with minced shrimp).
While my mother and grandmother were particularly fond of the banh beo during our lunch, it's impossible for me to choose a favorite—winners all around, I say.

I've got a couple issues that I'm dealing with right now regarding my 6.5 month old daughter and could use some insight.
Background info, we've been EBF since birth, but we've used a nipple shield from birth to about 3.5 months (we finally had to go to the Newman Clinic to kick the habit). She's been doing well off the shield for the most part. We recently started introducing solids, homemade and whole foods. She really seems to be enjoying exploring the tastes and textures, so we're happy with that.
She currently weighs about 14.5 lbs (birth @ 7lb11oz)
Here's my first issue. I have a hard time keeping her on the breast for any significant length of time, it's been like this for the past month or so. She latches, waits for let down (which seems to be taking longer these days), sucks for a minute if I'm lucky, then wants to sit up and look around. I generally let her look around and then try to get her back on, she'll often go back on but only for a few seconds, then she's off and looking around. I'll switch sides to give her a change of scenery and she does the same. She rarely empties a breast anymore.
She is very easily distracted, so I try to keep the room quiet and minimize anything that might catch her attention while she's eating, all to no avail.
It seems the only time I can actually get a substantial feed is when she's tired.
My other issue is sleep related. She's recently outgrown her bassinet, so we decided that we wanted to try bedsharing with her. Up until now she had been sleeping through the night (since 6 weeks). Since bringing her into bed with us she's been waking several times per night and wants to feed, then seems to comfort suck long after she's back to sleep. My sleep has suffered greatly.
I've set up the pack and play and we now put her down in it, sleeping through is hit or miss now. When she wakes I often bring her into bed with us and feed her, and try to put her back in the pack and play so I don't spend the entire night as her pacifier (I wouldn't mind as much, but I find it hard to sleep in one position for too long, I'm kind of an active sleeper, constantly changing positions).
I kinda feel like I ruined her sleeping habits by bringing her into bed with us in the first place.
Is there anything I can do to a) get her to eat for longer periods during the day. And b) get her sleeping back on track.
Could the wonky eating during the day be affecting her sleeping at night?

Sunbury Offers Sunbrella Sheers
September 17, 2007-- Home Textiles Today,
The first Sunbrella sheer decorative fabrics now are hitting the market in a variety of constructions: gauze-like casement sheers, cut fringe jacquards and clipped jacquards.
The sheers, using Glen Raven's trademarked Sunbrella acrylic fiber, have been developed with Sunbury Textiles, which also develops and distributes the heavier weight decorative Sunbrella fabrics to the furniture and decorative jobber trades.
The inclusion of the jacquards is the result of a relationship with Sweden's Ludvig Svensson, which developed the technique, said Mark Grigalunas, svp, styling and design at Sunbury. The development of the sheers, which are offered in 118-inch and 59-inch widths depending on constructions, offer window products for indoor and outdoor use that won't fade or rot, and will dry in minutes, said Grigalunas. Sunbrella fabrics have no-fade, mildew resistant and bleach cleanability features as well, he added.
In addition to the outdoor uses and the need for sun-resistant fabrics for major indoor sunroom installations, "people are demanding billowing draperies for their McMansions, Grigalunas pointed out.
Randy Trull, who has been an ongoing consultant to Glen Raven and Sunbury, "brought this newest project to the table," he explained.

Class of '54
Washington State University Oral History Project, 2005-2008
ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING INFORMATIONThe Class of '54 Oral Histories were collected between 2005 and 2008 by representatives of various WSU areas, including WSU Today, the History department, Washington State Magazine, and the Libraries, and donated to MASC as they were completed. They were not designated with an accession number. In 2010, the various materials were organized into this collection by University Archivist Mark O'English, at which point missing permissions letters were solicited and missing transcripts were created, and these were interfiled into the collection. Descriptions were created by History graduate student Nathan Sowry and Mark O'English.
In April of 2004, the Golden Grad Class of 1954 established a fund to create a WSU Oral History Project, designating money to purchase equipment and conduct oral history interviews with fiugures important to WSU's history. In April of 2005, the Golden Grad Class of 1955 expanded the project by donating money to digitise these oral histories. Interviews were conducted with WSU figures in 2005-2008, and many were placed online for viewing using Real Player.
In 2010-2011, materials were compiled and coordinated into one physical collection, and digital copies were compiled and stored in MASC's Digital Archives. MP3 files are being created from the existing audio wav files (or rm files where the wav files no longer existed), and the full collection will eventually placed online for access via embedded Flash players. The higher quality electronic files are maintained in MASC's archival digital storage drives.
The collection consists of oral interviews conducted with (or in one case, about) significant WSU figures. The collection is organized alphabetically by the last name of the subject, and each folder contains some or all of the following: audio cassettes or CDs, transcripts, brief summaries, release forms, and supplementary materials. It should be noted that in many cases the transcripts are unproofed, with many names misspelled.
This collection is open and available for research use. Copyright restrictions apply.

The Early Portrait
From the collections of the Prince of Liechtenstein and the Kunstmuseum Basel
From the 15th century onwards, an increasing number of portraits are painted as princes and burghers increasingly tend to have themselves represented in paintings. North of the Alps, the realism of the early Netherlands painting, after about 1430, creates new prerequisites for the portrayal of the individual who now appears in his unmistakable outward appearance as well as his social position. Certain types of portrait develop and become widespread, often emanating from the Netherlands all over Europe. However, every portrait remains an independent artistic achievement of its own. The exhibition which embraces excellent examples of portraiture between 1450 and 1550 in Germany, France and the Netherlands, spotlights the tensions between wide spread formulas of portraits on the one hand and the individual content of the single work on the other.
The exhibition is supported by
LGT - The wealth management experts of the Princely House of Liechtenstein.

By Kevin Powell, Office of the Chief Medical Officer
What is the leading cause of disability in the United States? Cancer? Heart disease? Well, you might be surprised to learn that mental illness is the correct answer.
One in five Americans will experience a mental health problem in their lifetimes, yet nearly two-thirds of people that are diagnosed with a mental illness do not seek treatment. While mental illness does not discriminate, it disproportionately affects minority communities. In May 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives proclaimed July as National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, providing the opportunity to come together and increase awareness of mental illness and mental health promotion while embracing the diversity of our community. This month must be seen as an opportunity to not only increase awareness for mental illness, but also to promote long-term solutions that address the uniqueness of America's minority communities.
Did you know that minorities are less likely to receive diagnosis and treatment for their mental illness, have less access to and availability of mental health services, often receive a poorer quality of mental health care, and are underrepresented in mental health research? Still, the greatest barrier to treatment is the stigma associated with mental illness. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), levels of stigma associated with mental health conditions are much higher in multicultural communities. It is important that we continue to de-stigmatize the issue of mental health because it has been ignored for far too long. Mental illness is equally as detrimental to the minority population as any other illness or conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and other physical illnesses. Mental disorders are as disabling as cancer or heart disease in terms of premature death and lost productivity. Unfortunately, many Americans are unaware that mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness.
Are you ready for the good news? The Affordable Care Act (ACA) supports multiple strategies to target access issues: over half of the uninsured population are minorities, the ACA will expand coverage for potentially 13 million of these individuals; ACA provisions for integrating mental health and primary care and the support for "health homes" have been highlighted as strategies that will improve access for minority populations who more readily access services in primary care settings; improvement in standards for data collection will help pinpoint needs in these populations; and support for community health workers and promotoras will bring trusted messengers to engage people in these underserved communities. Also, the ACA has created Offices of Minority Health in six agencies across the Department of Health and Human Services.
Remember, we must all be part of the solution and work to invest in mental health services for those who need help. Utilize National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month and help raise awareness in your organization or community. Encourage your family, friends, and loved ones to learn more about improving mental health and illness.
