text: The <interface type='bridge'> is working mostly because of a peculiar design decision in Linux. Ideally, QEMU would run with an empty capability bounding set and would not be able to do any privileged operation (not even by running a helper program). This is not the case because dropping capabilities from the bounding set requires a capability of its own, CAP_SETPCAP; thus QEMU does *not* run with an empty bounding set if invoked via qemu:///session. This is apparently for security reasons, to avoid that dropping _some_ caps but not all of them lets you exploit untested error paths in suid binaries. This series lets libvirtd invoke the privileged helper program on its own, which is a cleaner design that would work even if the above Linux quirk was not there. Also, this adds a <target dev='tap0'/> element to the XML of an active domain using <interface type='bridge'>. Thanks to the patches that have already been committed, the recvfd and virCommand APIs make the task almost trivial. v1->v2: OOM fix in patch 1, change label name in patch 2, rebase Paolo Bonzini (2): virnetdevtap: add virNetDevTapGetName qemu: launch bridge helper from libvirtd src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 133 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- src/qemu/qemu_command.h | 1 - src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c | 25 +++------ src/util/virnetdevtap.c | 33 ++++++++++++ src/util/virnetdevtap.h | 3 ++ 6 files changed, 143 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) -- 1.8.2

Skip to comments.debt collectors reap huge salaries chasing student loans
Posted on 05/15/2012 8:08:54 PM PDT by TurboZamboni
Minnesota nonprofit that's on the front lines of a growing debate over student-loan debt.
Bloomberg Businessweek profiles Educational Credit Management Corp., one of the 32 guaranty agencies" that oversee student loans for the U.S. Department of Education and try to recover money.
Its bill collectors can be highly rewarded. ECMC's top collector took home $454,000 in just one year, twice as much as the U.S. secretary of education. The CEO of the group made $1.1 million in 2010. The company moved from downtown St. Paul to Oakdale a few years ago.

"But I thought that was, like, free money, man! "/s;)
"When the lending institution decides the debt is noncollectable, then issues you a 1099C for the forgiven debt
Pardon my iggernunce, but why would they do that? I thought they reported such things to the evil credit rating agencies to ruin your credit.
When the debt collectors are unable to collect the debt, the lending institution writes it off as a business expense then issues you the 1099C, copy to IRS. That's when your troubles REALLY begin.
Between 1993 and 2007, the number of full-time administrators per 100 students at America's leading universities grew by 39 percent, while the number of employees engaged in teaching, research or service only grew by 18 percent. Inflation-adjusted spending on administration per student increased by 61 percent during the same period, while instructional spending per student rose 39 percent. Arizona State University, for example, increased the number of administrators per 100 students by 94 percent during this period while actually reducing the number of employees engaged in instruction, research and service by 2 percent. Nearly half of all full-time employees at Arizona State University are administrators
A significant reason for the administrative bloat is that students pay only a small portion of administrative costs. The lion's share of university resources comes from the federal and state governments, as well as private gifts and fees for non-educational services. The large and increasing rate of government subsidy for higher education facilitates administrative bloat by insulating students from the costs. Reducing government subsidies would do much to make universities more efficient.
For public universities the administrative bloat is much worse than at private colleges - administrative positions grew by 39% between 1993 and 2007, almost four times the 9.8% increase for instructional positions. At private universities, without access to the public largess, administrative and instructional positions increased at about the same rate.
And we wonder why college costs too much...
"F U, Pay Me!" - Goodfellas
Agreed, administrators are the scourge of government and business alike. Does top management even keep an eye on the ratio of indirect to direct labor any more?
p.s. I like your handle there TZ, you must be a hockey fan
(IMHO, this is why it's not)
Free tax advice (caveat emptor)...
Kent Conrad thought so,too:
They're already calling it the "Bismarck Bribe":
The legislation contains provisions apparently designed to ensure votes from wavering Democrats. As outlined in the House version, the compromise plan would give nonprofit loan providers in several states the right to participate, along with for-profit loan companies selected through a competitive process, in helping the Education Department distribute loan money to students.
A new element, included in the plan issued on Thursday, would give a specific right to the Bank of North Dakota to issue federally subsidized student loans, meaning that it would be the only lender remaining outside of the Education Department's direct-lending system.
The Bank of North Dakota is a state-owned lender that Democratic aides described as representing the type of nonprofit entity they want to encourage. Critics of the loan bill suggested the provision was designed to win the support of a key Democrat, Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
I did not know that. I thought they sold those debts to zombie debt collectors.

"I'd like to be perfect but sometimes I miss. All kickers do," Edinger said. "That's all there is to it. The ball was just off here against the Rams this past weekend and before that in Detroit. It pulled left, probably by a centimeter. Such a small fraction, but a miss is a miss."
Does he see any reason to alter his technique to compensate?
"No, I am doing pretty much what I have always been doing in the way of preparation," Edinger said. "It's served me well for quite a few years and I see no reason to change much at this point. But I am working on timing and distance with special teams coach Mike Sweatman this week in the Bears indoor facility."
Dealing with blocked kicks, which have also been problematic recently, have left Edinger using his mental game as much as physical technique.
"With a blocked kick, you have to forget about it almost immediately," he said. "You can't go out the next time it's your turn and wonder if somebody is going to get their hands on it. That's a rookie mistake. Sure, I used to do that. I'd get mad and spend way too much energy thinking about it. Now I just concentrate on getting the ball where it is supposed to be."
Edinger says that kickoffs are particularly difficult because the angle of contact with the ball has to be exact for greatest distance. Trying to overcompensate for his innate range of power can also lead to problems.
"Anytime a ball falls short, you know that your foot wasn't exactly where it should have been, or that you are trying too hard for that distance," he said. "Wind and weather can come into play. It's something you have to adjust for as you are making your approach. You have to practice foot pressure and angle over and over. That's why I am always out on the field for quite a while before a game."
Edinger seems pleased with the new Soldier Field facility and doesn't think that the altered configuration should have any effect on the trajectory of his kicks.
"The stadium is still in the same location, so the conditions are really quite similar," he said. "Any time you get a strong north wind or a wind off the lake, you can notice it, but that was true in the old stadium as well."
Edinger feels that kicking is a mental game and that complete concentration is the key to any kicker's success. To achieve the desired state of total focus, he tends to stand apart from teammates while on the sidelines. Before a kick, Edinger utilizes an elaborate routine of side steps while approaching the ball.
"I was a soccer player before I was in football and this is pretty much of a soccer type approach," Edinger said. "You need to see the ball and the goal posts, feel the wind, and visualize the angle of your kick."
When asked about the final minutes of the Bears-Rams game last weekend, during which he told coach Dick Jauron that he didn't feel that an attempt from the 49-yard line was a viable option, Edinger paused, then answered.
"The conditions weren't good and I felt that it was not within my range. I like to be at or near the center of the field on the 35-yard line or closer. I can make longer kicks of course, but this is the most optimal distance for me."
Does the pressure of having the game on the line and a field goal the only option intimidate him?
"No, that's what kickers live for," Edinger said. "That is the kind of a situation that we expect. Every kick is a new kick. You can't think about the old one. If it went wide, or it fell short, that should never be in your mind. You're out there, you're focused, the ball is going to go through the uprights. That's why you're here."

Jubelirer has the state constitution's blessing to serve as state Senate president pro tem and as lieutenant governor, Commonwealth Court ruled The court issued its ruling Friday in response to a lawsuit filed by state Rep. John Lawless, I) Montgomery. Lawless argued that Jubelirer's succession to the state's second-highest position represents a conli ict of interest and violates the separation of powers required under the Pennsylvania Constitution. "I feel quite vindicated,'' said Jubelirer, R Blair. "I am verv appreciative of this opportunity to move on with my duties without this cloud hanging over me. It s unfortunate that this took so much taxpayer money to settle, but Lawless decided to be vindictive and file this suit." Jubelirer became lieutenant governor in October after former Gov. Tom Ridge resigned to accept a position as director of homeland security under President Bush Under the state constitution, then Lt. Gov Mark Schweiker became governor and Jubelirer became lieutenant governor. Senate legal counselors said because Jubelirer succeeded to the post and was not appointed or elected, he was able to hold both offices. In its o I majority opinion, the court reiterated that the constitution is clear in that it requires Jubelirer to step down from his Senate position only it In1 were to become governor. "We do not discount the genuine concerns raised in [Lawless'] brief," President Judge Joseph Doyle wrote.

The reports raised hope that better days may be ahead for the ailing economy. New-home sales soared by 6.4 percent in November, the largest increase in almost a year, helped out by mild weather and low mortgage rates, the Commerce Department reported. Sales of previously owned homes rose by 0.6 percent in November to a rate of 5.21 million, setting the stage for a possible record year, the National Association of Realtors said in another report. Although a big drop in demand for military planes pushed down orders for costly manufactured goods last month by 4.8 percent, many other big-ticket items posted gains, another Commerce Department report showed. But in the most encouraging economic news of the day, consumer confidence rose sharply in December after three months of dramatic decline as the erosion of the economy and job market appeared to begin leveling off. The New York-based Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 93.7 this month from a revised 84.9 in November. Analysts were expecting a reading of 83. The index, based on a monthly survey of about 5,000 U.S. households, is watched closely because consumer confidence drives consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of the nation's economic activity. All three reports raised hopes that the recession, which started in March, may be bottoming out. Virtually all of the weakness in orders for durable goods — items expected to last at least three years — in November came from a 57.9 percent drop in new orders for airplanes, mostly stemming from slackened demand for defense aircraft and parts, the government said. rn resident JA walks through newly fallen snow on 17th Street in Altoona Friday.

Bender has a new legal hurdle to overcome that could come before a Blair County court judge as early as Monday morning. The State Board of Medicine last week suspended Bender's privilege to practice medicine in Pennsylvania. The suspension comes in the wake of criminal charges filed against die physician, who is affiliated with Tyrone Medical Associates. "On Dec. 18, 2001, the Pennsyl- R.nrtpr vania State Board oenaer of Medicine ordered the Temporary Suspension of Barry L. Bender, License No. MD-036965-L, of Tyrone, Blair County," according to a statement issued Friday by the Pennsylvania Department of State. Defense attorney Thomas M. Dickey said he will file a request for an injunction in Blair County Court of Common Pleas to stop the suspension. "It's all based on unfounded allegations," Dickey said. "He has not been convicted of anything. You're still innocent until proven guilty. "We believe this will cause him irreparable harm by suspending him for this period, even if it's for a couple of weeks. If a jury acquits him, the harm and damage has already been done. "This suspension is based on what's merely written on paper. They don't know the witnesses. Nobody has evaluated them." Bender, 57, of 1054 Pennsylvania Ave., Tyrone, received the suspension notice Dec. 24, Dickey said The suspension will last until at least a Jan. ll preliminary hearing before the State Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs, which will determine whether the case moves forward or the suspen sion is lifted. In the interim, Bender won t practice medicine at Tyrone Hospital or its affiliate, Tyrone Med ical Associates, hospital Chief Financial Officer Daniel Ashcroft said. "They took his license, but I have been given no reason why," Ashcroft said. ''We're obligated to follow our bylaws and the laws of the state. He cannot practice medicine until ifs decided by the state." Bender's patients will be seen by other doctors at Tyrone Medical Associates. If the board decides the suspension should continue, it will continue until a full hearing by the board. The board could suspend or revoke Bender's license.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declared "war on bureaucracy" at the Pentagon. Health groups were busy on the eve of "National 9-1-1 Day" — meant to raise awareness about heart attacks. That was Sept. IO. By late the next morning, America was a changed land, counting its dead and beginning to fashion a new set of heroes, villains, fears and preoccupations.

Reviews For Coconut Palm Sugar
Based on 8 Reviews
Great sweet substitute
I will say that coconut sugar does have a caramel like flavor that is noticeable particularly in drinks like lemonade and tea. I never notice the taste when I am using it for waffles or my daily morning smoothie. I don't typically consume sugar but when I do have a need, this is the sugar I use. I love the brand, Navitas. This is a very large size for a great and affordable price. I re packed it in a ball jar for extended freshness.

Excellent product, surprised just how tasty it is.

Coconut Palm Sugar
I really do not like this product. The taste is very strong and detracts from the flavor of my tea and coffee. I used it to make coconut flour pancakes and it added an unpleasant aftertaste. If you like the flavor, it is probably fine but my taste buds will stick to stevia.
- Marcella
Great sweetener!
Love this in my morning coffee.
- Michelle
Love it in my coffee
The fine grain of the coconut sugar lends it to easily dissolve in my coffee, which I appreciate. I use a coconut sugar and stevia combination for coffee. This also works well to sweeten my chia pudding.

So yummy!
Awesome sweetener, and you get so much in the bag!

Good product
great way to cut down on nasty sugars. Just wish you could get it in larger sizes at a good value.

Transparency Groups Push Obama on Agenda
Freedom of information advocates have a lengthy to-do list for President-elect Barack Obama and Congress.
A report (PDF) from a coalition of open records groups lists 69 recommendations for the new administration to increase government transparency.
While the Obama transition team has vowed to run a transparent administration, it has yet to provide details about what they will do immediately – sort of. As we reported earlier this week, the transition team's Web site, Change.gov, once contained pages describing how it would use technology to provide more information to the public, but the transition team took down the pages to "retool" them.
Perhaps this new report will help with that.
More than 60 groups ranging from environmental groups to librarians to media associations signed on to the report as well as dozens of individuals. The report, coordinated by OMB Watch, outlines how the new president can pull back the veil of secrecy that has shrouded the federal government during the last eight years:
We are rapidly shifting from a society based on the public's right to know to one premised on the need to know, where the government determines the need. This represents a fundamental shift in the precepts of our democratic institutions and policies, a shift which President Obama must act immediately to fix.
And by immediately, they mean day one: "The president should clearly state in his inaugural address that he will oversee the 'most open, honest, and accountable government ever' to improve trust in our government."
The report also says Obama should overturn the so-called "Ashcroft memo," which restricted the release of information, and order agencies to make as much information as possible available to the public.
Three other tasks the report says the new president should get done during his first 100 days in office include:
· Invite the public to identify top documents and databases to make publicly available.
· The president should rescind Executive Order 13233 to remove impediments to access to historical presidential records.
· Instruct the Attorney General to advise agencies how to increase the presumption of openness under the Freedom of Information Act consistent with the president's executive order.
The report also emphasizes the need for oversight – and not just file-an-annual-FOIA-report oversight, but rather oversight with consequences for violating open-government laws:
The president should encourage Congress to establish a criminal penalty for willful concealment or destruction of non-exempt agency records requested under FOIA.
The group recommends that U.S. citizens should be able to get information more quickly and more easily and that the Obama administration should create mechanisms to make that happen.
The Obama transition team also received a list of recommendations from the Sunshine in Government Initiative, a coalition of media groups for open government. Their list is shorter and specifically directed at how the new administration should implement the Freedom of Information Act:
1. Restore the presumption of disclosure across the executive branch.
2. Create an independent, online ombudsman to help citizens access their government.
3. Ban agencies from proposing or endorsing unnecessary statutory exemptions from disclosure. Any new statutory exemptions proposed or supported by the administration should be limited in scope and life and include oversight.
4. Speak on the record, and urge his senior deputies and aides to do the same, in all statements about policy and current news about public matters.
2 comments
The change.gov story isn't a story. The guy was elected last week, and you think the website (which I'm amazed is already up) isn't going to go through some transition?
I assure you, as someone who works with websites, that there is a delicate balance between speed and structure. It would be worse for the new administration to wait until later to give us information. On the subject of balance, there is also a balance between expedience and quality. Let's cut them a break and assume that there was no sinister motive.
Try changelost.com to find what the Obama campaign took down. I don't buy the website transition argument. Simply put it back up in an archived section if there is no intention to remove the campaign promises made from the public view.

Scott Jacobs' campaign has a troubling pattern when it comes to campaign signs in the race for Brentsville District Supervisor in Prince William County – troubling in that they seem to be unable to adhere to even the most basic of state laws and county ordinances.
First, they were putting up signs illegally outside the 90-day window before an election because a date for the nomination contest had not yet been set (not to mention doing so in the VDOT right of way where no signs are permitted). Strike one.
Next, they've been putting up signs without the requisite "paid for" disclaimer. Strike two.
Here is one near Sudley Manor / Vint Hill Road:
And here are some near Patriot High School:
Finally, the Jacobs' campaign has resorted to stealing Jeanine Lawson's campaign signs and then coming back to put Jacobs signs in their place.
Take note of the Jacobs bumper sticker on the rear window of this person's car. Strike three.
So you have a Jacobs campaign supporter committing simple larceny (which is punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor carrying a penalty of confinement in jail for not more than twelve months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both).
If you know who this man is, please let us know so we can alert the local authorities for purposes of prosecution.

To contact our writers about anything
Email: writers at 402 productions dot com
You can also email our editors (editor-in-chief being Ryan Gabos) at editors at 402 productions dot com.
please indicate what the email is in regards to (e.g. band review, interview, love/hate mail). Usually, the most appropriate nomenclature for the subject line is who you are and what you're promoting (i.e. Nate Pavlot and the Finley's releasing debut album Nick's Our Boss in May).
Although some emails may get lost in the spam filter, we usually respond to most of our emails. If you don't receive an email back, however, that's most likely because we are usually swamped with emails or work in our real lives… so if you don't hear from us within a week or two, feel free to send us another email if you need to.
At times, we will pass an email to an available staff writer. If this happens, you can continue to contact them for everything you need.
To bands and artists looking for a review
We love new bands and artists looking for a review. If you have a digital copy of your album, email us a link with any other info and we'll listen it up. But please, only valid music media formats. All questionable formats will just be discarded. Attach at your own discretion. Also, we don't want to download massive FLAC files, so try not to send me intense uncompressed/lossless sound files either. Also, EPKs are usually helpful if you have them. If not, we'll have to dig around for info (time consuming, which usually means delayed reviews from us). YouTube channels and BandCamp pages are also VERY helpful, as we use embedded media for almost all my reviews.
Remember that 402 Productions tries to focus on the LATEST music, which we define as of this current year. If you are submitting an album that came out last year then we will most likely not review it. We are trying to promote the latest releases from relatively unknown bands and artists (which are normally new bands and artists), so please try to refrain from sending us albums from last year.
For reference (this goes out especially to the bands and artists with no PR help) please take a look at these two posts about getting press from Nick Wan:
What goes into a general press kit
How to get reviewed on 402 Productions
To anyone else looking for a review of something
We do occasionally review things that are loosely related to music (i.e. books, music tech, etc.) and also things that are not music related at all (i.e. movie reviews, interest pieces, etc.) but this is normally on a case-by-case basis. If you have a pitch of some sort, please contact nick at 402 Productions dot com.
You can follow all of our updates via Twitter!

The Rick Cain V-neck is the same fit as our popular crew necks with a neckline that will stay out of sight when layered or can be worn on it's own. Perfect for the man looking to expand his wardrobe from the common tee. This piece is garment dyed with a softener for a perfect fit and feel.
This means the garment is first made and then dyed instead of dyeing the fabric on a roll before the cut-and-sew. The process of garment dyeing allows for your shirt to fit right for as long as you own it, since there's virtually no shrinkage. The garment has been commercially washed and dried which results in a softer feel and richer color.
Details and Fit:
Kawela, our semi pro shark wrestler turned model, stands at 6'1" and usually wears an XL.

Many were working class blokes of the left persuasion who signed on at the inspirational urging of Ronnie Kasrils, then a part of the underground and later South Africa's outspoken Minister of Intelligence.
Kasrils spoke to his "alumni association" of once young recruits, his "army" of infiltrators and preached the message of value of international solidarity. This was example of an initiative that worked.
He is now active on behalf of the Palestinian cause and increasingly critical of the current ANC leadership. He certainly earned the right to speak out.
On one of my trips to South Africa, I visited him in his spy shop that featured pictures of Fidel Castro on the wall, and gifts from visiting intelligence chiefs including high-ups in the CIA and FBI that once tracked him. (His first book was called "Armed And Dangerous.")
Unfortunately, the event was poorly promoted, some believe, even sabotaged by the LSE's current Administration that had been caught up in a scandal after it was revealed that the School took money from Gadaffy.
It is also possible that our gang of gray-haired old timers were just not aware that that our event was scheduled on the last day of the term with many students eager to leave town. A nasty London-style rain shower and freezing weather were not exactly conducive to drawing a crowd.
One Palestinian student, one of fifteen or more undergrads that came, because of sponsorship by the LSE Student Union, spoke up. Only 30% of LSE student body is now from the UK, probably because of unaffordable fees. (Ironically, the economists that the School graduated are now presiding over Britain's failing economy.)
The student asked if we had ever feared that our gesture of support could backfire and hurt the very people we went to help, a query reflective of the cynicism of these times, and an implied critique of the "white man's burden" that did so much to harm Africa in the guise of helping.it develop.
Some of the recruits responded by reminding everyone they were invited. But others admitted that they too were initially wary, but went ahead anyway--and are now proud to have done so.
The two recruits who were jailed have since won medals from the South African government.
Meanwhile, back at the LSE's Economist book store, the featured volume in the window speaks to a crisis that I am sure owes some of its origins to the conservative market-based capitalist doctrines taught in an institution founded by Fabian socialists.
The book is not by a Brit but by the American economist Paul Krugman who once taught here. Its title is more like demand with the moral urgency that we once brought to the fight against apartheid:
News Dissector Danny Schechter continued to be engaged with South Africa He produced the weekly South Africa Now TV series between 1989 and 1991, and helped produce the album "Sun City: Artists Against Apartheid. He is finishing a 5 hour TV series as a companion the forthcoming movie Mandela: The Long Walk To Freedom, due in theaters in December. Comments to email@example.com.

"Easy to create our Christmas card using this card layout. Perhaps just my unfamiliarity with the product but would have liked to have been able to put a text box on the front of the card in front of the pic. We got the glossy print this year (versus matte last year) and much prefer the glossy look. Overall, great product."
"Great card, with terrific quality and good adaptability on the inside. Terrific service, too--prompt, accurate, and friendly."
"We used the flat photo card to memorialize our beautiful golden retriever. We ordered the matte version, and his photo on the front of the card was just stunning. On the back, we wrote a little poem about him. The tinyprints staff was able to center the text perfectly for us. The card stock was definitely quality. We were so pleased with the finished product and received many compliments on it. We have already used tinyprints again."
"Perfect, we loved it and so did everyone else. I used a photo editor app on my phone to create it. I only wish you had it as an option. Great job.Looking forward to future projects from you."
"We were really pleased with how this card turned out. We liked the simplicity and the lack of graphics on the front worked well for our photo. We also liked the opportunity to put our own greeting on the inside. The quality of the paper and the printing make the card seem very high end. Overall we got exactly what we were looking for!"

Cauliflower and Pasta
When buying anchovies, make sure to select the meatiest, best-quality ones available; otherwise, they may be mealy or too salty.
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, November 1999
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 medium head cauliflower, rinsed and trimmed to 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- 7 anchovy fillets, minced
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 1 cup white wine
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound dried rigatoni
- 10 fresh basil leaves, very thinly sliced
- Roasted Pepper
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pine nuts, and toast, stirring frequently until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside in a small bowl.
Place raisins in a small bowl. Cover with 1 cup warm water. Set aside to plump, about 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in the same large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cauliflower, and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add pepper flakes, anchovies, capers, and wine. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, drain raisins, discarding water. Add raisins; season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, 10 to 12 minutes, until cauliflower is fork-tender. Uncover, and let liquid reduce slightly over high heat, 1 to 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt and rigatoni, and cook until pata is just tender, about 10 minutes or following label instructions. Drain; toss into warm cauliflower mixture. Just before serving, toss pasta with basil and pine nuts. Garnish with roasted pepper.

What does buildings and contents insurance cover?
Meerkat Movies TV
Watch our latest advert
Aleksandr and Sergei's rush to the cinema
Nothing will get between Sergei and his cinema snacks.
If you're the lucky owner of a listed building you're also in the privileged position of owning a piece of history. Sounds exciting doesn't it? Well, along with this prestige does come a few challenges, because as the owner of a listed building you're responsible for maintaining it.
What does listed mean?
According to Historic England, a listed building in England is something with historic and architectural interest. The level of importance with regards to listing is as follows:
1) Grade 2 - A building with special interest – the most common type of listing for home owners
2) Grade 2* - A building with more than special interest
3) Grade 1 - A building with exceptional national and international interest
If a property is listed, it's being protected from unsupervised change. Ultimately, it's good to keep a building looking as close to possible to its original state, so that we can enjoy our history.
But, it does create some practicality issues. As much as it might sound very romantic to live in a stone built, thatched cottage with an inglenook fireplace, no electricity or running water, the novelty will soon wear off. And if you want to install modern day conveniences, this is where the listing restrictions apply.
You'll probably need to work with the local authority to make changes to the property. They're the property's 'guardians', in a way, and are there to protect its integrity. Don't worry too much though, there are many things you can do when your property is listed, you could alter, adapt and maybe even extend, just under supervision.
How does this differ in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales?
In Wales you'll need consent from the local planning authority then apply to the planning division of the Welsh government for consent. In most cases papers are then referred to Cadw, which looks after heritage for the government.
Some local planning authorities in Wales have permission to agree consent for Grade 2 listed buildings without needing to notify Cadw. From March 2016 these planning authorities are Monmouthshire County Council, Carmarthenshire County Council, Vale of Glamorgan Council, Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.
In Scotland, the local authority is the main point of contact for listed building consent. They will consider applications in line with guidance from Historic Environment Scotland.
In Northern Ireland, buildings are graded from B2 and B1 to B+, and for an outstandingly grand building, Grade A. Listed buildings are buildings that the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) have decided are of 'special architectural or historic interest'. Any plans to change your home must be agreed by your local council, who follow advice from NIEA.
Do I need special Grade 2 listed building insurance?
Listed building home insurance is not as straightforward as normal house insurance and you may find that you're restricted in the amount of policies on offer. There are some specialist listed building insurance companies, but some normal home insurance companies will accept listed buildings too. Or they may have their own listed building insurance – either way you'll probably find that your premiums are higher than a non-listed house.
There are a few factors that could affect the insurance:
1) Your rebuild cost has to take into account that the materials used may be difficult or expensive to source, and you may need a specialist tradesman.
2) The nature of old properties means they haven't been built to our modern standards. For example, they're often damp, no matter how much you try to deal with it. Plus, ancient drainage can cause problems, which insurers recognise. That said, though, the fact that the house is still standing is testament to the original builders!
3) Many listed buildings have a thatched roof and this too can have implications for your premium. Insurance for thatched properties is usually more expensive than insurance on a standard build property. Thatched roofs need re-thatching every 10-15 years. They can also be costly to replace or repair if they become damaged. There are extra fire precautions, too, that have to be put into place, particularly if you use the fireplace.
All this aside, living in a listed building is still pretty amazing and many people dream of the chance. If you budget carefully and work with the right people you can be proud of the fact that you're helping preserve the country's heritage.

Social Media: Hubs of Healing
by Tim Davies on Apr 30, 9:59 AM
The power of social media was realized in full force during the recent Boston Marathon bombings. Emergency responders, the media and those on the streets of Boston, Watertown, and Cambridge demonstrated how social networking with a collaborative and concerted focus can be used with great success.

Building Is Believing
by Elizabeth Elfenbein on Apr 23, 9:36 AM
We often hear, "Seeing is believing," underscoring a basic truth: that belief is something that must be earned. But belief doesn't happen overnight. Whether we're talking about belief in a person, a religion, an institution, or a brand, belief takes time to accrue. Belief must be built. And once it's established, belief is a force that drives behavior at the deepest level.

Why You Should Care About The Health-Aware, Connected And Cost-Conscious EPatient Of 2015
by Fard Johnmar on Apr 19, 9:00 AM
Back in mid-2007, in the midst of conducting in-depth research and analysis of the evolving digital health landscape, Susannah Fox of the Pew Internet and American Life Project recommended I read a publication co-developed by the late Tom Ferguson, MD, titled ePatients: How They Can Help Us Heal Healthcare. This prophetic white paper introduced many of the digital trends we take for granted today, including the use of the Web and digital tools for health research, the rise of patient-powered social networks and more.

Mind Your Language
by Graham Mills on Apr 12, 10:10 AM
Many years ago I showed some draft copy to my creative director. I was very pleased with it and thought that it was great advertising copy. After he agreed that it was great advertising copy, he asked me to take out "all of the marketing." It made the copy a thousand times better and gave me an important lesson that has stayed with me: write like a real person. Be persuasive, but speak in the language of the customer - because if you talk like a door-to-door salesman, you'll be about as welcome.

Why Global Telemedicine Should Be Our Next Big Export
by Dan Angress on Apr 10, 10:07 AM
It's a sad reality that, on a global basis, medical resources aren't allocated in any kind of organized or equitable fashion. Treatments and tools that are commonplace in many societies are virtually non-existent in others.

Er...Asparagus Syndrome?Mature
No. Asperger Syndrome. (It's A form of autism.)
When I was 11 I was diagnosed with autism. I felt relieved. I had always known I was different , and I felt safe to have a name put to it, to know there was others like me.
I never tell people unless I know them very well. It's because of the assumptions people make and the lack of knowledge on it. That autism means a stupid antisocial freak. What? It's autistic spectrum disorder. SPECTRUM. Every case is entirely unique.
I wish that it didn't have the 'disorder' bit. So what if my brains not developed normally? I'm not going to die from it. I do have problems. I do, with communication (I hate idioms!!!!!!!) and coordination. (Everyone else always got annoyed with me in PE for dropping the ball.) Doctors, look away. If not read on.
I would like to burn every health dictionary ever. To say autism is 'a severe social impairment' with a 'lack of creativity' and a 'devastating effect on others'. They say that I will get nowhere in life. Sorry, but what about the other autistic traits, that all of us have at least one of?
Like the brilliant memory?
Or intelligence in maths and science?
And, of course, that one amazing interest and talent...
Please. Don't stereotype.

Like most law firms Davies Arnold Coo-per already had a brochure detailing its wide variety of services.
But the firm was frustrated by the fact that the brochure was not easily distinguishable from those of its competitors. In August 1990, DAC approached Design House to produce a new brochure which reflected DAC's open corporate style.
The result was a large format annual magazine, entitled DAC Reports. The magazine uses bright images, a wide variety of styles and features issues topical to DAC's clients, written by DAC lawyers which are intended to be informative, punchy and jargon-free.
Every year, the magazine is helped by an editorial board of outsiders – Stuart Rock, editor of The Director, and Simon Fullalove, of Anchorage Associates. A magazine team is assembled to commission articles and review ideas submitted by DAC lawyers. Once the copy has been sub-edited and approved, the designers and a picture researcher are brought on to the team.
Since the magazine was launched in 1991, the firm has received more than 3,500 supportive letters from clients in response to articles in the publication.
In winning the 1994 design effectiveness award for corporate literature, DAC was pleased that the judges described the magazine as an example of "clear, brave and forward thinking", demonstrating the increasing professionalism of law firms in communicating with clients.
Like every other business, DAC receives its fair share of junk post. This includes unsolicited brochures which rarely contain anything of substance.
Research shows clients have little time to read professional services literature and are selective in their non-essential reading.
Perhaps this will prompt other firms to discard their old professional brochures and replace them with something more interesting?

Long-Term Fund Outflows Drop to $5B in September
October 17, 2011
Investors withdrew $5 billion from U.S. stock and bond long-term funds in September, Strategic Insight reports. This was a "significant improvement" from August, when open-end and closed-end mutual funds (excluding ETFs and VA sub-accounts) were hit with $33.6 billion in outflows following the downgrade of the U.S. debt rating.
For the third quarter, redemptions totaled $55 billion, essentially negating the $51 billion in inflows in the second quarter. This was the worst quarter for long-term funds since the last quarter of 2008, when outflows totaled $187 billion. For the first nine months of the year, long-term funds have experienced net inflows of $84 billion-with $37 billion being taken out of U.S. stock funds, international stock funds reaping $49 billion, and bond funds receiving $72 billion in assets.
Plan Participants Question
Traditional 401(k) Savings
In the wake of economic and stock market volatility, many 401(k) investors are questioning the wisdom of 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans, a survey by Allianz Life Insurance Company finds.
More startling, perhaps, 27% said saving money under their mattress is the safest place to put it.
As for saving for their children's college education, 25% have either reduced or stopped saving, and 44% haven't started putting money away for their children's higher education at all.
Nearly a third, 30%, have either stopped saving for retirement or cut back on their contributions, and a full 28% haven't even started saving for retirement in the first place.
Forty-seven percent of those not yet retired say the economy has had an impact on their retirement savings habits. Among those still saving, 20% said they have had to cut back on other areas in order to continue to afford to save.
"Given the gut-wrenching events and market volatility of late summer, consumers are questioning traditional retirement savings vehicles and changing their savings habits," said Katie Libbe, vice president of consumer insights at Allianz Life.
"Recent events have only deepened the uncertainty many have felt about retirement since the market meltdown of 2008 when the average 401(k) account balance lost nearly 30%," the Allianz vice president said.

The Hartford is taking part in this week's National Save for Retirement Week with the "It's In Your Power Campaign," based on superheroes. The campaign, aimed at 1.4 million participations in 32,500 plans, shows two superheroes flying around on scooters and generally just enjoying being retired.
The campaign also offers five free superpower-inspired ringtones that participants can download to their cellphone to reinforce the message. The sounds are: Wham! Whoosh! Pow! Zoinks! and Action!
"The Hartford is telling retirement plan participants that 'It's In Your Power' to help build a secure retirement," said Dana McCullough, marketing assistant vice president. MME

Monty Wedd & Stanley Pitt
The Border Rustlers. Cover art by Monty Wedd. Published by The Whitman Press, 21 Macquarie Place, Sydney. Wedd is an Australian artist, best known for his work on Captain Justice back in the Golden Age. He also drew the same title for Horwitz and supplied the visuals for the newspaper strip, Ned Kelly.
War On Fences. Cover art by Stanley Pitt. Published by The Malian Press Ltd Ltd, 29 Blight Street, Sydney. Pitt, another great Australian artist, is best known for his stellar work on Silver Starr, also back in the Golden Age of comics. Most people know Pitt as the artist for the book Yarmak. Pitt was good, so good in fact that more than one USA publisher chased him and offered him work, however he only worked in the USA on the newspaper strip Secret Agent Corrigan. Pitt remains one of the better artists that this country has produced.

Daniel -Ask, and ye shall find! While I can't quite pin down the actual day these pulp gems first went on sale (I'm not that much of a 'brainiac'), the Monty Wedd cover for 'The Border Rustlers' most likely dates from the early 1950s. After Syd Nicholls' line of comics folded at the end of the 1940s (for which Wedd drew the original Captain Justice series), Wedd drew numerous covers for several postwar 'pulp novellette' publishers, such as Whitman Press. You can see some further examples of these covers at: http://www.collectingbooksandmagazines.com/wedd.html
The cover for 'War on Fences' is one dozens that Stanley Pitt painted for Mailian Press, a Sydney publisher which seems to have florished between 1951/2-1955. Pitt produced many covers for Malian's Diamond Romance series, as well as for the company's American Science Fiction Magazine. This was Pitt's first foray into full-colour painted covers, and you can already see the beginnings of the excellent handling of colour and composition, which made him a sought-after illustrator throghout the 1950s and 60s.
Oh, and just to clarify things, 'War on Fences' no doubt refers to the perennial 'wild west' conflict between cattle ranchers (who ran their herds over the open plains) and the farmers (disparaginly called 'sodbusters') who put up barbed wire fences to mark off their property - thereby denying cattle herds unfettered access to grazing pastures, streams, etc. It was a widely-used plot device for many of these so-called 'horse operas'!

June 8
The month of June was marked by this solemn prayer meeting for peace in the Holy Land.
The presidents of Israel and Palestine as well as the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople traveled to Rome for the event. They were invited by Pope Francis to pray together for a lasting peace in the land where Jesus walked. It was an initiative that has never been seen before, until now.
The first to pray were the Jewish people, then Christians and lastly, the Muslims. At the conclusion, Pope Francis said that more courage is needed to make peace instead of war and asked them to not forget the victims.
"Many, all too many, of those children have been innocent victims of war and violence, saplings cut down at the height of their promise. It is our duty to ensure that their sacrifice is not in vain. The memory of these children instils in us the courage of peace."
President of Israel
"I was young, now I'm old. I experienced war. I tasted peace. Never will I forget the families, parents and children who paid the cost of war. All my life I shall never stop to act for peace."
President of Palestine
"We want peace for ourselves and for our neighbors. We want prosperity and thoughts of peace for us and for others. Lord, listen to our prayers. Give victory to our requests, because You are the most just and merciful, God of all worlds."
The Pope's intense schedule in those weeks took its toll. Pope Francis postponed several scheduled events on the days following the prayer meeting.
June 21
However, that did not stop the Pope from speaking in Calabria, located in southern Italy. It was there where he pronounced one of his strongest messages in the year.
"The mafia is not in communion with God, they are excommunicated. Today we profess this before the presence of Corpus Christi, the Blessed Sacrament, exposed in the altar."
Almost 200 people have been killed in the last 25 years by the local mafia, also known as l'Ndrangheta.
June 27
The Pope's schedule once again took its toll on him. On June 27th, he cancelled a visit to Gemelli hospital at the last minute.
Catholic University of the Sacred Heart
"The Holy Father, due to a last-minute indisposition, will be unable to make the scheduled visit to Gemelli Hospital."
It was the seventh time that Pope Francis cancelled a scheduled event in his pontificate.
That same day, the Vatican explained in a press release that Józef Wesoowski, the former nuncio to the Dominican Republic, was removed from the priesthood. The note explained that after the canonical process, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith determined his expulsion from the "clerical state."
The former nuncio was accused of sexually abusing minors supposedly committed during his stay in the Dominican Republic, between 2008 and 2013.
June 29
Throughout the month, the Pope made several pleas for peace in the Ukraine and especially the Middle East.
Faced with the growing violence caused by the Islamic State, Pope Francis called on the international community to promote dialogue and avoid war.
The month of June ended with a visit from the newly crowned monarchs of Spain. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia Ortiz, who rose to throne several days earlier, on June 19th.

The doctor could be jailed for up to four years after he was found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - but has told his lawyers he wishes to testify in front of Los Angeles Judge Michael Pastor.
A source close to Murray - who is currently being held in Los Angeles County Jail pending the hearing next Tuesday - said: "Dr. Murray wanted to testify, and feels that if he had, there is no way he would have been convicted.
"Murray is livid that his lawyers didn't put him on the stand and has said he plans on pleading with Judge Michael Pastor for mercy. Murray will admit no guilt, and not take any responsibility for his actions. Murray plans on appealing and wants the judge to give him probation only for killing Michael Jackson."
During the sentencing, it is expected that several Jackson family members will make victim impact statements, and Michael's three children could write letters to the judge that could be read aloud in court.
Changes to Californian law mean that even if Murray is given the maximum sentence by Judge Pastor, he will only serve up to two years in prison and could be eligible to sit out the punishment under house arrest.

I would not recommend this interface as it brings loads of latency.
Audio Interface
Its well built but I often have issues with latency and audio dropouts.
a little more review in this review please
you are not alone
I had some problems with drivers for Mac OSX Yosemite, and it took Akai about 9 months to roll out the proper drivers. Other then that it is a great device and is built like a tank.
I like the oldschool look of this interface, besides that I had a lot of issues without knowing exactly from where these came from, maybe because of the ASIO Drivers but I don't have a clue. It is still very practical when it works, I won't recommand using the USB HUB that will cause lots of crackling then some growing numerical distortion then you'll have to press the power off button! (I tried to plug a M-Audio usb midi keyboard)
The spine of my studio.
I'm not really picky when it comes to sound cards, because I don't use much outboard gear, but it sounds nice I guess. I've been having trouble using headphones though, especially when using 3.5mm to 1/4" adapters. I've only been able to get the headphone jack working with a small guitar amp connected using a 1/4" cable.
AKAI EIE pro I only use this for midi because the Apogee Ensemble don't have midi in or out

(CNSNews.com) - Responding to criticism that the conflict in Iraq is merely a civil war in a foreign country, President Bush said during a news conference at the White House on Thursday that "this notion that this isn't a war on terror is, in my view, na?ve."
Bush made the comment one day after 2008 Democratic presidential candidate and former U.S. Sen. John Edwards dismissed the U.S.-led war on terrorism as "a bumper sticker, not a plan."
Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, the president also stated that the upcoming summer months will be a critical time for his troop "surge" in Iraq. He indicated that the last five brigades making up the 30,000-troop buildup should arrive in Baghdad by mid-June.
"We are going to expect heavy fighting in the next weeks and months, and we can expect American and Iraqi casualties," Bush said. "We will stay on the offense," he added, repeating what has become for him a consistent refrain: "It's better to fight them there than to fight them here."
Asked how long he could sustain the policy without achieving significant progress on the ground, Bush noted that the U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, is due to report back on the effects of the new strategy by September.
In response to a reporter's question regarding making a choice between fighting al Qaeda and the war in Iraq, the president replied that "we are fighting al Qaeda ... in Iraq."
Bush also said that "the Iraqi government needs to show real progress in return for America's continued support and sacrifice. It's going to be hard work for this young government," he added.
The president called the news conference as the House prepared to vote on $120 billion legislation that would fund the war in Iraq through September. The bill significantly does not incorporate a timetable to withdraw U.S. troops, the Democratic leaders in Congress having failed to push through earlier legislation including such a provision.
The Senate is also expected to vote on the measure on Thursday, and Congress will likely send the bill to the president for his signature over the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
Another topic addressed during Thursday's event was Iran, which has continued to build a nuclear energy program despite calls from the U.S. and other world powers to halt the process - a suspected front to develop nuclear weapons capability.
"Unacceptable" was how Bush categorized Iran's nuclear enrichment program. "Iran, with a nuclear weapon, would be incredibly destabilizing for the world," he said.
"The world has spoken and has said no nuclear weapons programs. Yet they're constantly ignoring the demands," Bush said.
To respond to the problem, the president said, "we need to strengthen our sanctions." Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will work with European partners "collaboratively to continue to isolate that regime," he added.
Iran has stepped up the tensions with the U.S. by detaining American citizens, including Iranian-American scholar Haleh Esfandiari, arrested during a visit to Iran to see her ailing 93-year-old mother.
"Obviously, to the extent that these people are picking up innocent Americans, it's unacceptable," Bush said. "And we've made it very clear to the Iranian government that the detention of good, decent American souls ... is not acceptable behavior."
The president also discussed immigration reform, calling it "a complex issue" that would be addressed by the compromise the Senate worked out earlier this week.
"It's a difficult piece of legislation, and those who are looking to find fault with this bill will always be able to find something," he said. "But if you're serious about securing our borders and bringing millions of illegal immigrants in this country out of the shadows, this bipartisan bill is the best opportunity to move forward."
According to supporters, the legislation would tighten the borders and toughen standards for businesses hiring immigrants in an effort to make sure the employees are legal residents.
One controversial portion of the measure would create a merit-based system for future immigrants. Officials would assign more points to those with higher skills and prioritize employment over family ties.
Finally, Bush restated his confidence in embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The president said that the Justice Department is involved in "an exhaustive investigation" into issues such as whether politics played an improper role in decisions at the Justice Department. "And if there's wrongdoing, it will be taken of," he said.
The president criticized Congress' multiple hearings into the matter, which he suspected was being dragged out "for political reasons."
"As I mentioned the other day, it's grand political theater," Bush said of the dispute.
Bush asked Congress to "move expeditiously to finish their hearings and get on to the business of passing legislation."
