North Bennington school request to be heard on TuesdayBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF Writer | January 10,2013NORTH BENNINGTON — The application to create the Village School of North Bennington is scheduled to be heard on Tuesday and expected to be a major step forward in replacing the public North Bennington Graded School with the independent Village School.
The application is on the agenda of the Vermont Board of Education for their Tuesday meeting in Montpelier.
Stephan Morse, chairman of the state board, said he didn't expect there will be many questions left about the application so he thinks any presentation by the Vermont Department of Education will be brief.
Morse said he would be in favor of approving the creation of the school. By Vermont law, an independent school can't be created unless it's supported by the board of education.
"I know that not everyone agrees with it so I don't know where it will go but personally I think it's time for us to support it and be done with it," he said.
Eva Sutton, one of the trustees for the Village School and a former member of the School Board in North Bennington, said she plans to attend the meeting with others who support the independent school, to answer any questions if necessary.
Sutton said she was optimistic the application would move forward because it has been recommended by the Department of Education and supported by the community in three separate votes.

Multi-Campus Governance
Presidents Task Force on multi-campus issues: Message from the President
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 11/10
Wilfrid Laurier University has been a multi-campus institution since 1999 with the opening of the Brantford campus. Interactions between the Laurier Waterloo and Laurier Brantford campuses have evolved in a step-by-step manner as issues presented themselves. This has taken place without benefit of an overarching model of governance between the campuses. In short, Laurier is a federation of campuses, but we have not fully determined what type of federation we should be. We need to answer that question.
To this end, I have struck a Presidents Task Force on multi-campus issues.
The work of David Docherty in his capacity as Senior Advisor, Multi-campus Initiatives, has been critical in clarifying key issue areas that the Task Force must address. They include, but are not limited to: changes in Board composition as one campus grows relative to another, Senate composition, faculty and departmental structures, decanal areas of responsibility, administrative functions, and academic support services. David Dochertys work has also underlined the importance of ensuring that the decisions we take at this time are made with the larger picture and long-term future in mind, and with a firm understanding of our broader governance model.
The Task Force will be charged with providing recommendations to the university community including Senate and the Board of Governors as to how a "Laurier federation" should be structured. Its work, which will begin quickly, will be grounded in the Envisioning Laurier initiative and the recently approved Academic Plan.
The considerations of the Task Force will include issues that transcend faculties, departments, campuses, and administrative units. Active consultations will be held as appropriate throughout.
David Docherty and Shereen Rowe will be working closely to support and complement the work of the Task Force. The following individuals, drawn from a variety of constituency groups, have agreed to be members.
Bruce Arai
Tony Araujo
Melany Banks
Bob Basso
Tom Buckley
Lesley Cooper
Ruth Cruikshank
Rudy Eikelboom
Sheila Hamilton
Ken Paradis
Kyle Walker
Colleen Willard Holt
Terms of reference are currently being formulated and, after review and discussion by members of the Task Force, the terms of reference will be finalized and publicized to the Laurier community.
The work of the Task Force may be supported by smaller working groups, drawing members as appropriate from the university and wider communities. It may also be supported by one or more consultants with experience in university multi-campus environments.
I anticipate providing updates to the university community as appropriate as the work of the Task Force progresses. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Romney's Critiques Of Obama Like Reagan's Of Carter
By Tom Gjelten • Sep 14, 2012
Originally published on September 14, 2012 5:50 pm
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney says President Obama's foreign policies have sent "confusing messages" to the world. The critique argues that the Obama foreign policy is not muscular enough. It's a message that echoes the presidential campaign of 1980 when Ronald Reagan challenged Jimmy Carter.

Vt. not meeting greenhouse gas target
MONTPELIER Vermont has fallen well short of its first major goal in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
A new report from the state Agency of Natural Resources says those emissions are down slightly from their peak. But they are even with where they were in 1990; legislation passed in 2006 said they were supposed to be 25 percent below that level.
The good news is we are headed in the right direction, said Deb Markowitz, head of the agency. Our investments and policies are beginning to work, but we cannot get complacent.
The legislation also set targets of a 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gases by 2028 and 75 percent by 2050.
We will need to redouble our efforts if we are to achieve the emission reduction goals we have set ourselves, she said.
Nearly half of Vermonts greenhouse gas emissions are in the transportation sector. Markowitz said its hoped those will be reduced as vehicles powered by electricity grow in popularity and as more of that electricity comes from renewable sources.
One area of progress is that the state is using less heating fuel. Thats attributed to more homes and other buildings getting new insulation, but also to warmer winters.
Sandra Levine, a senior lawyer with the Conservation Law Foundation and a close observer of Vermont energy policy, said no one should cheer that warmer winters may be helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate change is an economic and environmental disaster for Vermont and the country, she said.
Look no further than the horrible storms that both Vermont and the region have experienced as being the type of effects that we will be seeing more of with climate change, Levine said.MORE IN This Just InAutopsy reveals

Man rescued after truck lands in riverFebruary 26,2013ST. ALBANS Vermont State Police say a St. Albans man has been rescued from the Missisquoi River after he lost control of his truck and went over an embankment.
Police said 22-year-old Colby Vezina was driving a pickup truck down a wet and slightly snow-covered road early Sunday when he lost control of the vehicle in Sheldon. Police said the truck landed upside down, partly under water in the river.
Police said a homeowner who lives near the crash site quickly called 911 for help. First responders from Sheldon and Enosburg quickly arrived and pulled him from the river.
Police said Vezina suffered relatively minor hypothermia. They say it appears alcohol and speed contributed to the crash.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

May 27, 2011 —
A fierce storm ripped through the region on the night of May 26, downing trees, knocking out power to various areas and causing destruction.
Golf ball-sized hail and heavy rains were reported in the Pennsylvania Power & Light (PPL) region. PPL reported that more than 350 crews worked through the weekend to restore power to customers in the service area, which includes Wayne and Pike counties.
PPL said it restored power to more than 127,000 customers since Thursday night, when four confirmed tornadoes and strong thunderstorms ravaged the region.
In New York, NYSEG reported that 11,438 customers were without power in Sullivan County and 92,000 customers lost power in the company's coverage area, which includes 12 counties. Power to most customers was restored by May 30.
"We appreciate our customers' patience and understanding as we complete our work," said Walt Matyjas, director of electric distribution at NYSEG. "We also owe our gratitude to the law enforcement agencies, fire departments, highway departments, emergency management personnel and local officials that have helped us immensely. Without their support, our work would be considerably more difficult."
NYSEG distributed dry ice to their customers without electric service.
In Honesdale, most shops and gas stations were without power Friday, causing long lines at the few gas stations that did have power outside of the borough.
School districts on both sides of the Upper Delaware River were closed on Friday because of a lack of power.

NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES Maine's eel are eyedthe associated press | May 22,2013PORTLAND, Maine — Regulators on Tuesday postponed making a decision on new rules concerning Maine's lucrative American eel fishery.
The eel management board of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission was scheduled to vote on proposed new regulations for glass, yellow and silver eel fisheries from Maine to Florida. But after a daylong discussion, the board instead decided to delay a vote until August and form a working group to gather more information about the glass eels, which are baby eels known as elvers.
Options that were under consideration for Maine's elver fishery included keeping the status quo, closing the fishery or setting a catch quota — or a combination thereof.
Tuesday's board meeting took place at the commission's spring meeting in Alexandria, Va.
The regulatory debate is being closely watched by Maine fishermen who catch the elvers in nets as they swim up coastal rivers from the ocean each spring and by dealers who sell the alien-looking creatures to fish farms in Asia, where they are grown to market size.
Catch prices in Maine have spiked the past couple of years to more than $2,000 a pound. Last year's harvest was worth $38 million, making it the second most-valuable fishery in Maine.
The proposed regulations are the result of a stock assessment that concluded the American eel population is technically depleted and at or near historically low levels, likely because of a combination of overfishing, habitat loss from the damming of rivers and streams, pollution, mortality from passing through hydroelectric turbines, and possibly disease, among other factors.
Separate sets of regulations are being considered for glass, yellow and silver eels, which are all the same eel but at different life stages.
There are commercial yellow and silver eel fisheries, but it's the glass eel fishery that's drawing the most attention because of the sky-high prices.
Elver fishing is prohibited in all Atlantic coast states except Maine and South Carolina. Maine's elver catch topped 20,000 pounds last year, while South Carolina's catch was less than 1,000 pounds.MORE IN NewsNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full StoryNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full Story

The tranquil swimming pool in Kailua was the scene of a dramatic rescue on Christmas Day.
Honolulu police say a 36-year-old man tried to drown his 2-year-old daughter in the pool. The man, who neighbors identify as Thomas Morton, lives on the second floor of the Kailua home with his young daughter.
"The people on the other side of the house next door, that's the people that heard the man yell something and the husband was sitting outside he came by the fence and looked down. That's when he saw the man jump in with the baby," said neighbor Ernest Burlen.
After the neighbor saw the man jump into the pool with the young girl, he jumped over a fence and tried to save her.
Burlen, who lives next door to the Mortons, was home when the commotion started. He said when he ran to the scene, his other neighbors were trying to revive the baby.
"The baby was the first one to be pulled out. They gave the baby CPR and the baby spit out the water," said Burlen.
The toddler is recovering while witnesses say her father did not seem to fare well.
"I thought Thomas was a goner," said Burlen.
Police say the young girl's father is still in the hospital. Neighbors in this quiet Kailua neighborhood say the father is extremely friendly and are shocked this could happen.
"He takes care of that child, he loves children," said Burlen. "You can tell both of the brothers are very mellow and they are just family-oriented. Now I don't know what set him off, but I'm hoping they'll come through it."
Police have not arrested the father, but have opened an attempted murder case. Themother of the child was not home at the time.
According to neighbors, the father only has custody of the child during weekends and holidays.

|Suliban Cabal
|Deceased (2154)
|Played by:
|John Fleck
Silik was a senior official in the Suliban Cabal during the 2150s. In that capacity, he led the Cabal in fighting on the 22nd century front of the Temporal Cold War.
Temporal Cold WarEdit
Silik took his orders from a mysterious humanoid figure who communicated from the 28th century. In exchange for doing his bidding, this individual provided the Cabal with the technical expertise necessary to genetically enhance themselves. These enhancements included shapeshifting, enhanced senses, and the ability to survive in extreme environments. These enhancements gave Silik a distinct advantage over those he opposed.
Encounters with EnterpriseEdit
In 2151, Silik sent two of his soldiers to retrieve Klaang, a Klingon courier who carried proof of the Cabal's plot to destabilize the Klingon Empire. Later, as Captain Archer of the Enterprise NX-01 was attempting to rescue Klaang from a Suliban helix, Silik engaged in a fight with Archer, nearly killing him. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
As punishment for his failure to start a civil war in the Klingon Empire, the Cabal's benefactor had Silik's enhanced vision removed, but promised to restore it if he succeeded in his next mission. Silik infiltrated Enterprise and attempted to steal a temporal observatory belonging to Daniels, a temporal agent from the 31st century, and deliver it to his master. Silik confronted Captain Archer and attempted to convince him that Daniels was, in actuality, attempting to alter history, and that Silik was attempting to stop Daniels. Silik later shot Daniels with a particle weapon, apparently killing him. He then took the observatory and attempted to flee the ship, but Archer destroyed the observatory rather than let it fall into the wrong hands. Silik then escaped by jumping out of one of Enterprise's launch bays and free-falling into a waiting cell ship. (ENT: "Cold Front")
The next year, the Cabal attempted to frame Enterprise for the destruction of the Paraagan II mining colony. The Enterprise crew, however, was able to obtain proof of the plot by stealing three data disks from a cloaked Suliban stealth cruiser. On orders from his superior, Silik then led a fleet of cell ships after Enterprise to capture Captain Archer, threatening to destroy the ship if Archer did not turn himself over. Having no choice, Archer agreed, but was then transported to the 31st century by Daniels, who was attempting to protect Archer. Daniels' action had disastrous consequences, however, in that removing Archer from the timeline changed history in such a way as to destroy Daniels's own civilization. This also had the effect of removing the Cabal's benefactor from the timeline, a fact that Silik discovered when he unsuccessfully attempted to contact him. Archer was eventually able to return to his own time, and took Silik as a hostage to ensure Enterprise's release. (ENT: "Shockwave", "Shockwave, Part II")
In 2153, after Earth suffered a devastating attack which resulted in the deaths of seven million people, Silik abducted Archer from Enterprise under orders from his master and delivered him to a temporal communications chamber. There, the Cabal's benefactor provided Archer with intelligence that the Xindi were behind the attack, and that they were working for another faction in the Temporal Cold War. This gave Starfleet the information it needed to mount a mission to stop the Xindi from destroying Earth. (ENT: "The Expanse")
One year later, Silik was assigned to stowaway on Enterprise, when his master learned that Daniels would be sending it back in time to 1944 to stop the Na'kuhl, another Cold War faction, from constructing a temporal conduit. Wanting the ability to physically travel through time rather than just communicate through it, the Cabal's benefactor ordered Silik to steal the conduit's specifications and deliver it back to him. Silik was discovered, however, and eventually teamed up with Captain Archer in order to stop the Na'kuhl. They were eventually successful in destroying the conduit before the Na'kuhl had a chance to use it, but Silik was shot to death in the process. His final words to Archer were an admission that Archer had proven to be a worthy adversary, and he would have preferred to die fighting Archer. (ENT: "Storm Front", "Storm Front, Part II")
Background InformationEdit
The decision to feature Silik as a recurring character on Star Trek: Enterprise was made even before casting for the part began. A character breakdown sheet which Paramount sent to various talent agents, upon seeking an actor to portray Silik, made clear that he was to be a recurring character and described him as "Late 30s to early 40s. Alien. Physically agile. One of the leaders of the Suliban, a deadly species obsessed with genetic enhancement. Our villain." [1] Silik was later made older, with the script of "Broken Bow" describing him as "in his fifties." [2] The character was ultimately played by veteran Star Trek actor John Fleck.
Silik's name was not established until his second appearance, "Cold Front".
Silik's human disguise in (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II") was actually John Fleck without the prosthetics usually associated with the part. This marked the first (and only) time in Star Trek that John Fleck has appeared without prosthetics, as all of his previous roles were aliens as well.
Fleck's Borothan costume from the first season episode "Cold Front" was later sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [3]

Hey there! I need some advice on my current nursing situation. LO is 1 week & 4 days old. He took to breastfeeding instantly, we only had to work on his latch a little bit before he got the hang of it and on day 2 my milk started coming in. I was extremely engorged and it has finally subsided for the most part. I can definitely tell that a low supply is not the issue (at least I don't think so). In between feedings my breasts are no longer feeling super full like they were a few days ago. He nurses, on average, 10 min on each side. He was doing 15-30 when I was engorged but I was having to keep him awake and alert the whole time and that was a chore.
Now that my engorgement is gone, he only nurses about 10 min on each breast and sometimes it's only 8 min or so. I can hear him gulping pretty much the entire time and by the time 10 min are up, my breasts feel soft and comfortable again. Is this normal/okay? I can tell i have OALD so I've started adjusting his position to where it will hopefully slow the flow down and he's no longer choking on my let down. He seems satisfied, i can tell my milk let's down almost instantly after he latches and by 10 min, he's asleep and pulls off. I don't know if he's just lazy or very efficient...? He has PLENTY of poop and pee diapers. Sometimes I can get him to stay latched for 20 minutes but after that he usually wont nurse on the other breast at all. Could he be getting the hind milk during a 10 min feeding? He nurses about every 2-3 hours and I usually have to wake him up to feed him.
I'm not a FTM and I did BF my first LO but she had to be in the NICU and our breastfeeding did not get off to a great start so it was never well established and we only made it to 5 months. I'm hoping this time we can go a whole year! Any advice would be great! Also, sorry if this is too long or doesnt make much sense, still not getting a lot of rest haha

Geometric lines and angled surfaces combine to create Kisai Polygon, a stainless steel watch design with colored and mirrored LCD segments that present the time in an attractive and easy to read way.
A limited edition watch, Kisai Polygon includes time, date, alarm, EL backlighting and custom animation.
Easy to Read at a Glance, When You Know How
The angled display shows the time much like a conventional clock. Take a look at the examples below.
Twelve polygons around the outside of the display show hours, in the same position as hours on a clock.
Six larger triangles inside act as the minute hand, pointing to 00, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 minutes past the hour. Single minutes are displayed by a hexagonal digit in the centre of the display. Easy once you know how.
The date is shown in the same way with the month in the hour position and date in the minute positions. The date can be shown by pressing the lower button.
Kisai Polygon is a small watch design that is comfortable to wear for both men and women with small or large wrists.
The surface of the metal is accurately brushed in directions that complement the case shape. Available in silver or black, choose from four limited edition LCD color options.
As well as time and date, Kisai Polygon has an alarm and EL backlighting, so you can easily view the time at night.
Kisai Polygon features a custom designed animation which causes the polygons to spin and the digits to do a five second count down every fifteen minutes, a function which can be turned on or off. See the video demo above to see this in action.
Each part of Kisai Polygon has been individually designed and manufactured, including the case, strap and uniquely programmed display.
Like all watches from Tokyoflash Japan it is a limited edition design which means that it is guaranteed to be an original watch that not many other people own.
Kisai Polygon has an adjustable strap making it suitable for small and large wrists and uses a standard CR2025 watch battery which will last at least 12 months and can easily be replaced.

'Transformation and the Grinch'
December 1, 2011 —
BEACH LAKE, PA — The Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will kick off its month-long exploration of transformation with a lively musical multi-generation service called "Transformation and the Grinch." on Sunday, December 4 at 10:15 a.m. Using spoken word and small songs, accompanied by a lap harp, service leader Laurie Stuart will "read" How the Grinch Stole Christmas and create a service that celebrates the idea that Christmas, stripped of all of its trappings, has the ability to transform. Families are encouraged to bring a copy of the book, if they have it and would like to "read" along.
All are welcome to attend the one hour service, held at the Berlin Township Community Center. Refreshments and a social gathering will follow. Visit www.uduuf.org or call 845-252-6626.

By Tom Philpott: Syndicated columnist
As many as 39,000 disabled military retirees have been left out of the VA Retro Pay program by mistake, say officials at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) who are calculating the amount of money owed.
This latest and perhaps most serious gaffe in the problem-plagued VA Retro Pay project was uncovered after DFAS received a rising number of complaints from retirees. None of them had been screened for retroactive payment, but follow-up calculations confirmed each had been underpaid.
VA Retro payments have ranged from a few hundred dollars to many thousands. All recipients have served in the military for 20 or more years and all have disabilities that qualified them for one of two relatively new entitlements: Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC), which began in 2003, or Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP), which started in 2004.
The VA Retro Pay project made lump-sum back payments to retirees in September 2006.

hey man thats just what us ny fans are.... complainers and name droppers
WTH happened? We are doing nothing but blaming blaming finger pointing and thrashing every knicks player instead of coming up with solutions.Threads used to be more detailed and meaningful instead of a "this guys a fraud" or "this member is a fraud" bull****.
Get a grip, this is a fans forum to express how our team is doing, how to make them better and updated news.Before we would have threads about how our teams practice went today or how we could build a championship tam but now it is repetitive threads about TRADING/FIRING/RELEASING players instead of any positive threads about how these players can get better and what not.We are eating our own team alive.
We have a thread about calling out another member personally? This is the #1 forum for knicks fans guys we have to act like we care about the team instead of personal selfish thoughts.The only thread that i can read without a headache is runningjumpers PG thread.
Seriously stop, i know im not a longtime respected member but come on this forum is turning into a slum of hatred instead of an optimistic fan site.
hey man thats just what us ny fans are.... complainers and name droppers
I agree with the personal attacks. It's basketball and we're a fan of the same team. Let's at least be mature with that.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I think alot of it was the influx of new posters and then the trade happened and results didn't so it became war, idk
Come on dude seriously relax. Sure name calling is dumb but it always has been and always will be a part of this and almost every other internet forum out there!
I can point you to a few threads on the front page that are cool straight away... The Gladiator thread, the inside the head of MDA thread, the ssol thread are all funny.
Also, we are 1-9... Of course there's gonna be negativity.
The only thing that I have noticed is that the long time posters have stopped posting.
My post count/join date might not reflect this, but from my observances it seems like this is parallel with when "KnicksFanFromQueens1985" joined the board. He's really watered down the place. I don't like to call someone out by naming a name, but it's for the good of the message board.
haha @ NYK17. He's not a Knicks fan I always ignore him but ONCE again he's a NJ Nets fan from TGG.Com (Jets message board). I don't acuse people for nothing. I seen exactly where we was bragging about joining this site (like 3 or 4 of the other NJ Net fans) over on TGG & quicky edited the post when he seen me talking about it over here. Real creep. Oh yeah, even though he was busted that still never stops him from quoting my every post to "prove just how wrong I really am" & attacking me every chance he gets. Funny coming from someone who ignores his post as a "Knicks fan" because he's a Nets fan & a sad excuse of a person. I left TGG for good when I joined here, to talk Knicks basketball & enjoy this team away from NJ net fans like this pathetic creep. Wanna call me out NJN17? I'll simply continue to expose you for what you are. A Nets fan who followed a Knicks fan to a Knicks site to ball bust.
If i' so horrible... Put me on IGNORE but oh yeah thats right... That defeats the whole purpose on why U joined
Thanks RunningJumper. I'll admit... I feed the fire to this whole MDA talk but lets be honest... The MDA hate has been going on during every thread (non MDA related) way before I joined this site.
His join date & the fact of the matter that joined SHORTLY after me to harp all over me, has nothing to do with the fact that I seen him posting with my own two eyes, as a Nets fan, bragging about the fact that he's posting as a Knicks fan over on TGG. Little did they know, because I wasn't posting anymore & still dont, but I was reading some of the stuff they were doing. When most of those other 4 or 5 Net fans got banned... I was talking back & forth with Rady sending him links & details proving that the people that got banned... Were ALL NJ Net fans. Now? With this NJN17 guy? I don't care enough to PM Rady about it. It's easy to ignore him & simply enjoy the insight you all add to this site. Forget the MDA talk... That coach was not the reason why I came here, fell into it. I enjoy everything else around here.
yay... another thread has turned into a bitch slapping contest

Social Security: Wait or not to wait to collect benefitsApril 07,2013If there is one question that I get asked more than any other, its about Social Security.
Karen, should I start taking Social Security when I am eligible, or should I wait until I am at full retirement age, or should I hold out until I am 70?
Of course, I sometimes give the easy answer of it depends. The reality is there are some facts to consider and then there are some personal circumstances to also ponder. So there is some help to guide your decision but its not foolproof since none of us know how long we are going to survive in retirement.
If you elect to start taking Social Security at 62, one of the things to remember is, although you are receiving benefits up to about 48 months earlier, you are going to have a permanent reduction of about 25 percent. Its important to keep in mind that your Social Security check will be about 75 percent of your benefit and even once you reach the other milestone age it still remains at that rate.
Full retirement age depends on when you were born. If you were born between 1943 and 1954, the full retirement age is 66. Once we pass 1954, add two months to each year, so once we get to 1960, the full retirement age is 67, and thats when you would receive 100 percent of the benefit.
If you wait until age 70, or if you delay your retirement, for each year you delay your retirement its an 8 percent extra credit for delaying it. So if you wait until age 70, you would have 132 percent of your benefit. You can see then that the difference between taking the benefit at age 62 is significantly less than waiting until age 70. Given that so many people live well into their 80s and beyond, its important to factor in longevity into your thought process.
There are also survivor benefits that one should keep in mind. The benefit to your survivor or to family members like children is greater if you wait longer and take the higher benefit. For example, if the higher-benefit spouse passes away, that benefit goes to the survivor so the longer you wait, the higher the possible benefit.
I cant go into every nuance of Social Security in this space but Id like to point out a few issues that merit consideration.
You may be familiar with the idea that you can take your benefits at age 62 and change your mind at age 70, pay all the money back at age 70 and then collect 132 percent of your benefit. The rule has changed and you no longer have the luxury of seeing how it goes, seeing if maybe you dont need the money, or you get a part-time job in retirement, and end up being able to wait until age 70.
You only have one year, or 12 months, from the time you begin receiving benefits to change your mind and return the money to reset your Social Security clock. Thats an important factor to consider. Be sure and plan ahead is the cautionary tale here.
You may also be familiar with whats called the file and suspend election. This is when the retiree elects to file for benefits and immediately suspend those benefits. Provided you are at full retirement age and your spouse is at least 62, or you have children under 18, this would allow you to elect the Social Security payout of the spousal benefit and you could save your benefit until you are 70 and then get the higher 132 percent figure. This way you can get your spouses benefit and wait until 70 to begin collecting your own. If you are planning to work until 70, this may be a good alternative.
Confused enough for one day? Theres very little thats easy about Social Security. If you visit www.ssa.gov and click on retirement at the top of the page, the retirement planner and estimator can help.

It was an extraordinary year for North Central College … beginning with a record class of first-year students … ending with successful completion of the Kresge Fine Arts Challenge … and along the way producing an ambitious Strategic Plan destined to take the College to ever greater distinction as we celebrate our Sesquicentennial in 2011-2012.
And, yes, over the course of 2006-2007, we also won seven team athletic championships, the most of any school in our conference … including football, for the first time in 46 years!
North Central College is not a school that is comfortable with puffery. After nearly 17 years as president, I know this better than most. An enduring legacy of the College's evangelical heritage is a recognition that whatever successes we experience we owe to God's grace and to the generosity of spirit of those who, for nearly a century and a half, have chosen this college as a place to witness for their values … and the future.
When I reflect upon how unlikely it appeared at times during 2006-2007 that we would meet the extraordinarily ambitious $7 million challenge target established by The Kresge Foundation, I am reminded of the wisdom of those who bequeathed this school to us. Never get smug. When you have accomplishments and success, don't confuse those accomplishments with the reason for that success … which is the mission of the College, a cause as vital and necessary and deserving of support in 2007 as it was in 1861 when North Central was founded.
The figures in this Annual Report tell a powerful story—a $22 million gain in net assets, record numbers of Presidents Club donors, 41 gifts or binding pledges of $50,000 or more, growth in the endowment to nearly $80 million. These figures are not puffery, they're facts, and, like our audit report posted on the North Central website in the interest of transparency, they speak for themselves.
But far more important in this report are the stories of the people who are North Central College, and whose commitment to—and embodiment of—the mission of the College is the real measure of our success. Their stories are your stories, and those of the thousands and thousands of alumni and friends who joined hands this past year in support of this historic institution. In thanking them, and all of you, for your belief in the College today—and the College that is yet to come—I think we best honor that faith by never forgetting your underlying message. Preparing students to be informed, involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime—our mission—and, every day, every month, every year, working to do it better … is the only standard of success that matters. By that standard, we had a very good year. But we need to follow it with another … and another … and another … and another.
God bless you all!

Madison Police Chief Noble Wray will hold a news conference Friday at 3 p.m. to discuss new developments regarding Officer Stephen Heimsness.
Officer Heimsness was cleared of any wrongdoing after he shot and killed Paul Heenan, who was unarmed, on Madison's near east side on Nov. 9 while responding to what he thought was a burglary in progress.
It was later determined that Heenan, who was drunk, had entered a neighbor's house by mistake, prompting a 911 call of a reported break-in.
The Dane County district attorney reviewed the case and cleared Heimsness of any criminal liability. The Madison Police Department conducted an internal investigation and concluded that Heimsness acted in compliance with department protocol.
The U.S. Department of Justice said this week it will review the shooting case to determine if Heenan's civil rights were violated by a use of unreasonable force, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil said he asked for the review after receiving up to 100 letters requesting an independent review of the Madison Police Department's internal investigation of the shooting.
The review by the Civil Rights Division in Washington, D.C., will be limited to the question of whether there was a violation of federal law. Vaudreuil said the review will specifically look at whether Heenan's constitutional rights were violated by the use of unreasonable force.
Michael Bell, an advocate for the Heenan family, told WISC-TV that he spoke with Heenan's parents Thursday afternoon and they didn't know about the U.S. attorney's decision then.
"I'm quite surprised. Hopefully it's a good sign. The U.S. attorney doesn't usually step in like this," Bell said.

Delgado, 21, of East Tremont, Bronx, N.Y.; Eric Junior Donaldson, 19, of Perry Drive, Falling Waters; Bobby T. Hoyt, 40, of Centre Street, Martinsburg; and Eusebio D. Booth, 33, of Centre Street, Martinsburg.
Each of the five arrested was charged with possession with intent to deliver crack cocaine and conspiracy. Booth was also charged with an additional count of obstructing.
As of Monday, Myers, Delgado, Donaldson and Hoyt were being held at the Eastern Regional Jail on $200,000 bail. Booth was being held on $205,000 bail.
If convicted, each face a maximum of one to 15 years in prison on the possession with intent to deliver crack cocaine charges and one to five years in prison on the conspiracy charges.

Also in FreeBSD Basics:
In last week's article, we used the
sockstat utility to determine which daemons were listening for network connections on a FreeBSD system. Let's continue where we left off by taking a closer look at
Remember that
inetd is the internet super-server which listens for requests on behalf of other daemons; it reads
/etc/inetd.conf to determine which ports you wish it to listen on. You should always comment out the lines which represent the daemons you don't wish people to make network connections to. A good general rule is that if you don't know what a daemon does, comment it out.
On my system,
inetd is listening for IPV4 connection requests for the following daemons: ftp, telnet, comsat, ntalk, and tftp. I don't intend to maintain a tftp or ftp server, and I'm not totally convinced that I need to provide comsat or ntalk services. However, I do need to telnet into my FreeBSD system on occasion. So, I'll become the superuser, open up
/etc/inetd.conf using the
vi editor, and add comment characters to the four lines that represent the daemons on whose behalf I don't want
inetd to listen. When I'm finished, that portion of my
/etc/inetd.conf file will look like
#ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd
#shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd
#login stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rlogind rlogind
#finger stream tcp nowait/3/10 nobody /usr/libexec/fingerd fingerd -s
#exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rexecd rexecd
#uucpd stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/uucpd uucpd
#nntp stream tcp nowait usenet /usr/libexec/nntpd nntpd
# run comsat as root to be able to print partial mailbox contents w/ biff,
# or use the safer tty:tty to just print that new mail has been received.
#comsat dgram udp wait tty:tty /usr/libexec/comsat comsat
#ntalk dgram udp wait tty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd
#tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd /tftpboot
#bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd
Now let's see what happens if I try to
ftp into my FreeBSD computer.
ftp 126.96.36.199
Connected to 126.96.36.199.
220 foo.bar.com FTP server (Version 6.00LS) ready.
Name (184.108.40.206:genisis): anonymous
530 User anonymous unknown.
ftp: Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
What happened here? It looks like my FreeBSD system is still accepting ftp connections. We've just discovered that it is not enough to edit
/etc/inetd.conf; we must also tell
inetd to stop listening on behalf of the daemons we've commented out. We'll have to send a hang up or HUP signal to
inetd to make it aware of our changes. In order to do that, we must find out
inetd's PID:
ps -acux | grep inetd
root 172 0.0 0.6 1040 784 ?? Is Thu03PM 0:00.52 inetd
Since this process is owned by root, we'll have to become the superuser in order to send it the HUP signal:
kill -1 172
To see if this worked, let's rerun the
sockstat utility:
sockstat -4
root XF86_SVG 3752 0 tcp4 *:6000 *:*
root sshd 185 4 tcp4 *:22 *:*
root sendmail 181 4 tcp4 *:25 *:*
root sendmail 181 5 tcp4 *:587 *:*
root lpd 177 6 tcp4 *:515 *:*
root inetd 172 5 tcp4 *:23 *:*
daemon portmap 152 3 udp4 *:111 *:*
daemon portmap 152 4 tcp4 *:111 *:*
root syslogd 149 4 udp4 *:514 *:*
root dhclient 125 3 udp4 *:* *:*
root dhclient 125 6 udp4 *:68 *:*
Notice that there is now only one entry for
inetd and that it is only monitoring port 23, the telnet port. Let's see what happens now if I try to
ftp into my FreeBSD system:
ftp 126.96.36.199
ftp: connect: Connection refused
To be thorough, we should also see if
inetd is willing to accept connections from IPV6 clients:
sockstat -6
root sshd 185 3 tcp46 *:22 *:*
root inetd 172 9 tcp6 *:21 *:*
root inetd 172 10 tcp6 *:23 *:*
In my example, I have no need to accept ftp (port 21) or telnet (port 23) connections from clients running IPV6, so I'll comment out these two lines in my
/etc/inetd.conf file. The IPV6 section is located towards the bottom third of the file. Again, if you edit this file, don't forget to send the HUP signal and check that your changes took effect by running
sockstat again.
/etc/inetd.conf allows you to control which ports
inetd will monitor for incoming connection requests. However, it doesn't have a mechanism to allow control over which clients you are willing to accept connection requests from. As it stands now, any person with a network connection, which unfortunately includes an Internet connection, to my FreeBSD system can telnet to my computer. Fortunately, they'll be prompted to login, which is one reason why it is important to implement a good password policy. But it makes sense to add another layer of security by telling
inetd to refuse the incoming connection request if it does not come from a client that I trust.
This is where
tcp wrappers comes into play. If you are running FreeBSD 3.2 or higher, it is already built into your system and is just waiting for you to configure which clients you are willing to accept connection requests from. The name of its configuration file is
/etc/hosts.allow, but you'll find the syntax of the file under
man 5 hosts_access and additional options under
man 5 hosts_options.
There are two things to keep in mind when editing this file:
The syntax itself is fairly straightforward; each rule has 2 fields and can use an optional third field:
daemon: client :command
If your rule doesn't fit on one line, use the
\ character at the end of the line to indicate that the rule continues to the next line.
There are a few useful wildcards and operators that you should be aware of.
ALL matches all; can be used in the "daemon" or "client" field
LOCAL -- used in the "client" field and matches hostnames that don't contain a "." in them; for example, it would match "genisis", but not "genisis.istar.ca"
EXCEPT -- used in the "client" field; allows you to allow some clients but not others
ALLOW -- used in the last field to allow the service
DENY used in the last field to deny the service
As you create your rules, you'll want to use the
tcpdmatch utility to ensure that your rules are actually creating the access control you intend. Before I start creating access rules for the telnet daemon on my FreeBSD system, let's see what happens when I try to telnet into my FreeBSD box.
telnet 188.8.131.52
Trying 18.104.22.168...
Connected to genisis.
Escape character is '^]'.

Notice that my system is accepting telnet connections and responds by giving a login prompt on terminal
ttyp1. Once I've logged in, I receive my MOTD, my customized prompt, and it's just like I'm sitting at my FreeBSD box. It would appear that
inetd did its job properly. Now, let's see what the default
/etc/hosts.allow file looks like.
more /etc/hosts.allow
# hosts.allow access control file for "tcp wrapped" applications.

# !!! This is an example! You will need to modify it for your specific
# !!! requirements!
# Start by allowing everything (this prevents the rest of the file
# from working, so remove it when you need protection).
# The rules here work on a "First match wins" basis.
ALL : ALL : allow
Let's stop right here to see if we can determine why that first rule prevents the rest of the file from working. It basically says: for all daemons, from all clients, allow access. Because this rule matches all clients, and it's the first match, it will always be used. Let's see what happens if we comment out that first rule. I'll become the superuser, open
/etc/hosts.allow using the
vi editor, and put a
# in front of that first rule, and save my changes.
Now, I'll try the telnet command again:
telnet 220.127.116.11
Trying 22.214.171.124...
Connected to genisis.
Escape character is '^]'.
You are not welcome to use telnetd from biko.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Looks like I've effectively blocked all telnet connections to my system. Let's take a look at the rest of the
/etc/hosts.allow to see where to go from here to allow limited access via telnet.
Continuing with more of
# Wrapping sshd(8) is not normally a good idea, but if you
# need to do it, here's how
#sshd : .evil.cracker.example.com : deny
# Prevent those with no reverse DNS from connecting.
ALL : PARANOID : RFC931 20 : deny
# Allow anything from localhost. Note that an IP address (not a host
# name) *MUST* be specified for portmap(8).
ALL : localhost 127.0.0.1 : allow
ALL : my.machine.example.com 192.0.2.35 : allow
# To use IPv6 addresses you must enclose them in []'s
ALL : [fe80::%fxp0]/10 : allow
ALL : [fe80::]/10 : deny

# (IP addresses rather than hostnames *MUST* be used here)
portmap : 192.0.2.32/255.255.255.224 : allow
portmap : 192.0.2.96/255.255.255.224 : allow
portmap : ALL : deny
# Provide a small amount of protection for ftpd
ftpd : localhost : allow
ftpd : .nice.guy.example.com : allow

ftpd : ALL : allow
# You need to be clever with finger; do _not_ backfinger!! You can easily

fingerd : ALL \
: spawn (echo Finger. | \
/usr/bin/mail -s "tcpd\: %u@%h[%a] fingered me!" root) & \
: deny
# The rest of the daemons are protected.
: severity auth.info \
: twist /bin/echo "You are not welcome to use %d from %h."
Notice that there aren't any rules that specifically mention
telnetd. The last rule in the file is intended to cover all the left over daemons that didn't match earlier rules. Notice that the last rule allowed the connection, but closed it after echoing a message, which is what we saw when I attempted the telnet connection. The
%d was replaced by the name of the daemon (
telnetd), and the
%h was replaced by the hostname of the client trying to connect (
We could have predicted this outcome if we had used the
tcpdmatch utility. The syntax to use this utility is very simple:
tcpdmatch daemon_name host_name_of_client
You do not have to be the superuser to run this utility. Let's see what it says will happen if the host "biko" tries to connect to the
telnetd on my FreeBSD system:
tcpdmatch telnetd biko
client: hostname biko
client: address 220.127.116.11
server: process telnetd
matched: /etc/hosts.allow line 77
option: severity auth.info
option: twist /bin/echo "You are not welcome to use telnetd from biko."
access: delegated
This is very useful output as it tells us which line number in
/etc/hosts.allow contains the matching rule and what the result of that rule will be for that client.
Let's modify
/etc/hosts.allow to allow
telnetd to accept connections form the hosts "genisis" and "biko", but to disallow connections from any other clients. I'll become the superuser and add the following lines; it doesn't matter where in the file I add the lines as long as they appear before that last rule.
telnetd: biko,genisis :ALLOW
telnetd: ALL :DENY
I'll then check that my rules work by running
tcpdmatch on biko, genisis, and a third host called creed:
tcpdmatch telnetd biko
client: hostname biko
client: address 220.127.116.11
server: process telnetd
matched: /etc/hosts.allow line 74
option: ALLOW
access: granted
tcpdmatch telnetd genisis
client: hostname genisis
client: address 22.214.171.124
server: process telnetd
matched: /etc/hosts.allow line 74
option: ALLOW
access: granted
tcpdmatch telnetd creed
client: hostname creed
client: address 188.8.131.52
server: process telnetd
matched: /etc/hosts.allow line 75
option: DENY
access: denied
Let's see what happens when the host creed tries to telnet into my FreeBSD system:
telnet 188.8.131.52
Trying 188.8.131.52...
Connected to genisis.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Notice that I didn't receive any message, as the rule on line 75 was the first match, not the rule on line 77.
We've just scratched the surface of the functionality provided by
tcp wrappers, but it should be enough to get you started. Depending on your needs, your rules can range from being very simple to quite elegant. You'll definitely want to check out
man 5 hosts.access and
man 5 hosts.options to see all the configurable options available.

In an emailed statement to the Advance-Guard, UEC spokesman Matt Welch wrote, "UEC is pleased the EPA has reaffirmed its earlier decision to uphold the granting of the Company's existing Aquifer Exemption. EPA stated that the exemption for the northwestern portion of the project, which contains less than 10% of the uranium resource, is temporarily being withdrawn, but not excluded from the AE, until additional information is provided for that segment of the project area in the planned and normal course of mine development."
Houston attorney Jim Blackburn, who filed a lawsuit in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals objecting to the EPA's 2012 aquifer exemption, applauded the decision.
"I consider this decision to be a major victory for the citizens of Goliad County," Blackburn said. "This restriction of the aquifer exemption area would not have occurred without the lawsuit having been filed at the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. It's not over by any means but we continue to make this facility safer."
UEC closed its Goliad office Tuesday after the announcement.
"With regard to our operations in Goliad, the company's Goliad office has been relocated to the worksite in preparation for the planned development of the project," Welch wrote.

- Abstract
- A comprehensive numerical tool has been developed for the evaluation of the performances of Radio over Fiber (RoF) links intended for wireless signal distribution.At the transmitter end an appropriate set of rate equations allows to model the optical source as a solitary laser or as an appropriately injection locked laser. The optical channel is modeled putting into account the combined effect of fiber dispersion, laser source non ideal performances (e.g. non-linear effects, frequency chirp), and quadratic detection of the receiving photodiode. The simulation model developed can be a useful tool at the design stage allowing a preliminary evaluation of the characteristics of real RoF links.

Here is a small bash script to test a hard drive transfer speed. It should be take as an approximation. The speed value is taken from Linux dd command output. One way to test your hard drive speed is to use hdparm command:
# hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
Timing cached reads: 7216 MB in 2.00 seconds = 3615.89 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 288 MB in 3.00 seconds = 95.87 MB/sec
However, in this case the hdparm command is accessing raw hard drive, disregarding all partitions and file systems. The weakness of the following script is that it does not take source hard drive reading speed into consideration, however it is accurate when measuring transfer speed between two hard drives or speed between two nodes over the network using NFS or samba. Run the script with 3 arguments, source file, destination file and number of runs to make an average:
NOTE: If you do not have a file to copy simply create one by running a following command for couple seconds and interrupt with CTRL+C:
$ cat /dev/zero > myfile.zero
speed_test.sh :
# ./speed_test.sh /path/to/my/file /path/to/destination number_of_tests
for i in$(seq 1 $NUM_TESTs); do

|This bash script tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of bash scripting.As you will soon discover in this quick comprehensive bash scripting guide, learning the bash shell scripting is very easy task. However, if you do not find an answer to your questions by reading this bash tutorial or you need extra help, feel free to ask us on our new Linux Forum. We will be more than happy to help you with your bash questions there.
Lets begin this bash scripting tutorial with a simple "Hello World" script. Let's start with Learning the bash Shell: Unix Shell Programming
Bash Scripting Beginners Guide

First you need to find out where is your bash interpreter located. Enter the following into your command line:
$ which bash
Open up you favorite text editor and a create file called hello_world.sh. Insert the following lines to a file:
NOTE:Every bash shell script in this tutorial starts with shebang:"#!" which is not read as a comment. First line is also a place where you put your interpreter which is in this case: /bin/bash.
Here is our first bash shell script example:
# declare STRING variable
STRING="Hello World"
#print variable on a screen
echo $STRING
Navigate to a directory where your hello_world.sh is located and make the file executable:
$ chmod +x hello_world.sh

This article provides few simple scripts to scan and monitor network using combination of bash and ping command. Obviously, these scripts are no match to a full monitoring dedicated software like nagios but they could be useful for a small home brand networks, where implementing sophisticated monitoring system can become an overhead.
In this example the bash script will scan network for hosts attached to an IP address 10.1.1.1 - 255. The script will print message Node with IP: IP-address is up if ping command was successful. Feel free to modify the script to scan your hosts range.
#!/bin/bash is_alive_ping() { ping -c 1 $1 > /dev/null [ $? -eq 0 ] && echo Node with IP: $i is up. } for i in 10.1.1.{1..255} do is_alive_ping $i & disown done
Node with IP: 10.1.1.1 is up. Node with IP: 10.1.1.4 is up. Node with IP: 10.1.1.9 is up.Read more ...

Banks look to hire as UK dealflow picks up
Investment banks are making a tentative return to the recruitment market in the UK as they attempt to position themselves for an upswing in activity after a period of cost-cutting.
Citigroup, Credit Suisse and Nomura are among the banks that plan to selectively strengthen their UK businesses in the coming months, according to sources familiar with the situation, and others are expected to follow suit.
Citigroup last week appointed James Bardrick, an industrials investment banker by background, as chief country officer of the UK, and is understood to be looking at adding a couple of senior bankers to its core UK team within the existing cost base of the London team.
Credit Suisse is also considering selectively adding to its UK team, while Nomura is looking to pick up more business from UK corporates and has made recent additions in UK debt capital markets and telecoms, media and technology coverage.
Although selective and cost-conscious, the hiring plans mark a change of tone from the past two years, a period during which most investment banks in Europe were focused on cutting costs.
They coincide with the annual hiring window when bankers typically move after receiving their bonuses. They also come as the UK shows signs of economic growth and renewed activity.
UK bankers report renewed confidence in the boardroom. The International Monetary Fund's decision last month to upgrade its growth predictions for the UK economy is a sign of improving conditions.
In addition, UK corporates are getting back on the offensive. After 18 months of UK companies being targets more often than acquirers in mergers and acquisitions transactions, Smith & Nephew last week became the third prominent example of a UK company conducting expansionary M&A this year, when it struck a $1.7 billion deal to acquire Nasdaq-listed medical device company ArthroCare.
