Yup, a better description would help... and did you check the forum before posting?
I get the feeling im making a noobie mistake but when I start backtrack 4 r2 from my live USB when the screen comes up, it does not prompt me for a login, it goes though all of the checks and starting stuff but then just gives me root@bt:"#. When I try starting the login and enter user: root PW: toor it tells me invalid user name and PW, when I try startx it gives me critical error unable to launch. (sorry for the bad description im new to this stuff)

Running both KDE and GNOME BT5 flawlessly. Thank you !
root@bt:"#. < That although not entirely correct is the actual prompt so there is no need to try and log in since you are already logged it.
It might be a good idea to use some other version of Linux. Perhaps Ubuntu. BackTrack requires linux knowledge that you obviously do not yet have.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.

Just wanted to chime in real quick......
Some folk really are discriminating against the naturals......but......
SOME people who say "Your hair would look good straightened" are saying it bcuz if you natural texture is luxurious, they're imagining how luxurious the straight look will be. They're not necessarily against the curls. I'm a curly and I've said that to my buddy who is "blaxican" LoL. My texture wouldn't be so flyy straightened so I always notice textures that look as though they would straighten well.
Straightening should not be done cuz you hate your curls or bcuz others might find it more beautiful. If you're gonna do it, let it be bcuz you just wanna do sumthin different to mix it up. I'm the type that might want braids for a while, then do the India Arie type scarf, then do my fro, then do a sew in....cuz I like to change it up, not cuz I wanna be viewed a certain way. Whatever you're liking at the time is what works 4 you. If others prefer sumthin other than that, they can turn their eyes or close 'em!!!!!!
Birth Feb 1984, First press 1990, First relaxer 1992, Last relaxer Oct 2006, BC Sept 2007, 4c.....

President Obama will hold a news conference at 11 a.m., the White House announced.
The meeting with reporters comes a day after Obama unveiled a proposed $3.73 trillion budget and less than a week after the departure of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak amid pro-democracy protests.
It will be Obama's 12th solo news conference as president and his first of 2011.
The president will open the news conference with a statement about the budget. Other possible topics for questions include new protests in Iran and general unrest throughout the Middle East.

The Broadcast
WVUM 90.5 will both Tuesday's game against Maine and Wednesday's game against UCF. Tune in via radio dial, or online at WVUM.org.
Jim Morris is in his 35th season as a head coach and 20th with the Miami Hurricanes. He has a 1,495-631-4 (.701) career record, including a 860-323-3 mark at Miami, where he has guided the team to two National Championships (1999, 2001).
Hurricanes Return Home
• After a weekend trip to Gainesville, No. 24 Miami opens a season-long seven-game homestand beginning Tuesday against Maine.
• Boosted by a midweek sweep of St. Thomas and Barry, the Hurricanes opened the season 10-0 for the first time since 1981. Eight of those first 10 wins came inside the friendly confines of Alex Rodriguez Park.
• After their midweek games against Maine and UCF, Miami continues on its homestand with a weekend series against Duke (March 8-10) and a pair of games with visiting Illinois State (March 12 & 13).
Heating Up
• Though his career-opening 10-game hitting streak ended in a March 2 loss at Florida, junior second baseman Alex Hernandez has reached base safely in all 12 games this season.
• Junior third baseman Brad Fieger has opened the season on fire, recording hits in a career-best 11 straight games. His streak dates back to game two of Miami's season-opening doubleheader against Rutgers back on Feb. 16.
• Freshman Brandon Lopez is riding a career-best six-game hitting streak into Tuesday's game against Maine. The Miramar, Fla., native had a career three-hit performance in the team's series-opening win against Florida (March 1).
Freshman Phenom
• Freshman David Thompson has played a key role in Miami's early success, ranking first on the team and tied for fourth in the conference with 16 RBI's.
• The Miami, Fla., native connected for Miami's first homerun of the season on the road at FAU, a two-run shot that tied the game up at 4-4 in the eighth inning.
• Thompson has recorded at least one RBI in every Hurricanes' game but two this season, and delivered his third game-winning hit of the season in Miami's 3-2 win over Florida on March 1.

I am a theorist in condensed matter physics. The main goal of my current research is to study exotic Topological Phases of Matter, in particular the classification and characterization on ideal models and real systems. This research field is currently rapidly expanding and becomes more and more interdisciplinary. There is a tendency that researchers from various backgrounds (e.g., ultra-cold atomic physics, material science, computer science, quantum information, string theory, and mathematical physics) are now collaborating closer and closer in order to push the field to new directions.

Check out the world's largest wedding cake! Built for the Mohegan Sun casino, the vanilla cake is about triple the size of the previous world record-holding wedding cake.
Today, at the New England Bridal Showcase, Mohegan Sun unveiled what it hopes will be the world's largest wedding cake. Measuring 17-feet tall and weighing 15,032 pounds, the seven-tiered cake is almost three-times the weight of the current record in the Guinness Book of World Records for the world's largest wedding cake.
The Mohegan Sun wedding cake is vanilla flavored and decorated with bows and hearts. Ingredients include: 10,000 pounds of pound cake batter and 4,810 pounds of creamy frosting with a taste of vanilla and almond. Comparatively speaking, the cake weighs more than five Volkswagen Beetles and can feed up to 59,000 people.
Chef Lynn Mansel, Mohegan Sun's Executive Pastry Chef and resident "Michelangelo of batters and buttercream," began creating the cake on Sunday, February 1st in the Uncas Ballroom. Along with his team of 57 chefs and pastry artisans, Chef Mansel baked 700, 18×24 inch vanilla sheet cakes. Then, using frosting as cement, they created 200, five- and six-layered bricks, which were put together to form the tiers of the wedding cake. Steel discs were used as cake separators and two fork-lifts helped raise each tier as the wedding cake took shape.

Serves 8
In the age-old spirit of Jewish cooking, this salad uses the foods of the season. It may be a prelude to the array of fried pancakes that follow or a refreshing palate cleanser between courses.
1 cup dried cranberries
8 cups fresh spinach, washed, stemmed,
and torn into bite size pieces (about 1 pound)
3 seedless tangerines, peeled, pith removed, and sectioned
1 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons cranberry soaking water
1/2 cup peanut or vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Soak cranberries in 2 cups hot water until soft, about 1 hour. Drain, discarding all but 2 tablespoons of soaking liquid. Reserve liquid and cranberries separately.
In a large bowl, combine cranberries, spinach, tangerines, and pecans. In a medium bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients until well combined. Toss with spinach mixture and serve.

Got Competition?8/16/2012 at 4:50 pm by Deb Carpenter Beck
Steve Jobs. Michel Phelps. American Idol contestants. All are fiercely competitive. But could they make it through a bid day?
Hands down, construction tops the list as one of the most highly competitive industries. And with fewer jobs available in recent years, the competitive pressure on contractors is even higher.
In a recent survey of Sage construction customers, 41 percent predicted that increased competition would be a main challenge for them in 2012. They also indicated that improving efficiency would be the number one way to address their competitive challenges.
An Efficient Way to Go
Improving efficiency can be as simple as automating a single manual process, such as how you store and manage your documents. Or you can integrate your company's systems to reduce duplicate data entries while improving information sharing throughout your organization. Some companies are improving field productivity with mobile devices. Others are adopting sophisticated lean construction and integrated project delivery programs.
Nowhere is the competitive pressure cooker more intense than in a firm's estimating department. Poor estimating efficiency leads to lost bids or, even worse, an unprofitable winning bid. How are contractors improving their hit ratios on profitable work? San Diego construction firm Echo Pacific has integrated Building Information Modeling (BIM) with automated estimating to increase their efficiency by 75 percent. You can hear their story here
Many of our customers are also closely tracking their actual job costs to assure what they put in their bids is as accurate as possible. Knowing your real cost is one secret to winning work, according to Mike Clancy and Cynthia Paul of FMI Corporation in their report Unfair Advantage. They indicate that 40 percent of firms they see in the marketplace do not track their costs with significant rigor to conduct a detailed analysis versus final profit. The best firms, they say, are using real-time cost performance data so estimates are competitive without bidding below cost.
Advancing the competitiveness and efficiency of the U.S. construction industry has a national focus as well. A 2009 report by the National Research Council (NRC) identified five interrelated activities that could lead to breakthrough improvement in the quality, timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of construction projects. Commissioned by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the NRC listed the following key competitive activities:
- Widespread deployment of Building Information Modeling (BIM)
- Improved job site efficiency through more effective interfacing with people, processes, materials, equipment and information
- Greater use of prefabrication
- Innovative, widespread use of construction demonstration installations
- Effective performance measurement tools to drive efficiency and support innovation
Today, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is continuing its work primarily focused on metrics that will increase investment in productivity enhancing technologies.
Is increasing competition a concern for you? How are you addressing competitive pressures today and in the future?

A congregation also functions as an employer. Your only employee may be your pastor, or you may have several employees in different roles. Whatever your situation, providing retirement benefits for your employees shows a concern for their future as well as enhancing your value to them.
Because congregations are tax-exempt, you can offer a 403(b) retirement plan to your employees. Everence has two options available.
If your congregation is Mennonite, you can offer your employees Mennonite Retirement Trust - the retirement plan sponsored by Mennonite Church USA.

Sul Ross archaeological digs reveal more-ancient life in the TransPecos
July 18th, 2013 under Features
By STEVE LANG
SRSU News and Publications
ALPINE – The deeper Sul Ross State University's Center for Big Bend Studies (CBBS) archaeological teams dig, the older the evidence of human activity in the TransPecos is found.
At present, CBBS research on a south Brewster County ranch site indicates human use dating back 11,000 years, and likely growing older. Six hearths (or thermal features), dating from 11,000 years ago to 8,700 years ago have been unearthed at the Genevieve Lykes Duncan (GLD) site on the 02 Ranch. Even earlier stone tools have been found several feet lower.
Charcoal – carbon-dated back to 12,600 years ago – has also been discovered, but as yet, supporting human evidence has not been found.
"This is the earliest radiocarbon-dated site (of human habitation) in the region by 1,200-1,300 years," said Andy Cloud, archaeologist and CBBS director. He added that the GLD site, which has been under excavation for about 2 years, may well contain an earlier cultural presence, as the deeper stone tools would indicate.
"We're going to keep looking lower," Cloud said.
The GLD site location – near Terlingua Creek and at the foothills of the Davis Mountains – appears to have supported sporadic human use for more than 10,000 years.
Cloud explained that the confluence of mountains, foothills and desert provided necessary resources of food, fuel, water and raw materials for tools to support hunter-gatherer occupations through the years.
"Our research shows that this was a stable land surface for at least 2,000 years (11,000-9,000 years ago) during what is known as the Late Paleoindian period" Cloud said. "Through investigation of this 2,000-year window we may be able to get indicators of cultural change: how and why there were technological advances."
"After this period, overbank flooding began to slowly bury the stable land surface, yet due to the favorable setting, humans continued to camp here. These occupations, all with high scientific potentials, are exposed in different areas of the site and also warrant investigation," he said.
Analyses of the excavated thermal features have yet to definitively identify what was being cooked; however, the morphologies of several of these strongly suggest they were earth ovens—cooking features that used heated rocks to retain and regulate heat. Such technology was necessary to cook for longer durations and at lower temperatures in order to make certain plants – such as sotol and agave – edible. Findings also reveal that seeds of several plants were ground into powder, likely mixed with water to form dough and then baked into bread-like substances/cakes.
Cloud indicated the use of rock as heating elements, the earth ovens, and the grinding stones are among the earliest yet discovered in North America.
"The investigation is shedding light on these early peoples' behavior and their lifeways," said Cloud. He noted that in addition to learning about early human activity in the region, the investigation has uncovered evidence that many of the plants in today's Chihuahuan Desert were present thousands of years ago. These include mesquite, creosotebush, saltbush, cholla, sagebrush, thistle and sunflower plants.
CBBS research on the 02 Ranch has been multi-faceted and extensive, with more than 480 sites documented and 23 of these tested or excavated since 1999. The research has also provided field school opportunities for undergraduate students. This year, Kiko Morlock, who graduated from Big Bend High School in Terlingua in 2009 and now attends Texas State University, San Marcos, participated in the excavation.
"I had been an aquatic biology major, then I took an anthropology course to fill a requirement," Morlock said. "I was hooked. The next semester I took four anthropology courses."
"There were plenty of other options for field school, but I chose Sul Ross because I had the chance to see some land that many people never get to look at;.that I had passed by all my life. This was an opportunity to learn about a place that I considered home."
Morlock's father, John, is superintendent of the Fort Davis National Historic Site and his mother, Adamina, teaches at Marfa ISD. Kiko, who will be a senior at Texas State, has a distinct interest in geology, and said "you could see me back here (at Sul Ross) in graduate school."
Cloud praised the cooperation of the owners and the ranch manager Homer Mills, who has discovered a number of the archaeological sites documented by the CBBS. Mills and the ranch have also provided shelter and water at the site to expedite the excavation.
"We are extremely grateful to Homer, the Lykes Brothers, Inc. (ranch owners), Cam Duncan, and Genny Duncan (children of Genevieve Lykes Duncan) for their unflagging support and interest in this ongoing project," Cloud said.
Additional funding for the investigation has come from generous grants by the Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston, the Coypu Foundation, the Wayne and Jo Ann Moore Charitable Foundation, the Joan and Herb Kelleher Foundation, the Summerlee Foundation, the Semmes Foundation, and the Alfred S. Gage Foundation.
Cloud added, "This site looks particularly good for further work well into the future."

New York • Antoine de Saint-Exupery crafted "The Little Prince" in New York City, mentioning Rockefeller Center and Long Island in one draft of the beloved children's tale — references he ultimately deleted.
That page is contained in the French author's original handwritten manuscript, which is the subject of a major exhibition at the Morgan Library and Museum on the 70th anniversary of the book's French publication — a year after its U.S. debut.
"The Little Prince: A New York Story," which opens Jan. 24, features 35 of his original watercolors and 25 pages from his heavily revised 140-page text, written in Saint-Exupery's tiny script.

In an interview with Cindi Leive at Glamour (including do's and don'ts like do wear jeans, don't cry in the office), MSNBC host Alex Wagner was asked if her forthcoming marriage to Obama White House chef Sam Kass will mean they'll no longer live in two cities (she's in New York).
"Yeah. An administration does not last forever. It's not 'King Obama,' as much as some people would like to say. [Laughs.]" Is that in the air over at MSNBC?
Leive also asked Wagner about her working for George Clooney before joining the Obama-talking-points channel:
CL: One of the jobs that people know you held was working for George Clooney on Not on Our Watch. How do you get a job with George Clooney? Was there a pay phone involved?
AW: No, we had cell phones by then! I worked for the Center for American Progress, in Washington, D.C., and one of my friends had been taking George back and forth to Darfur. They wanted to formalize the work he was doing on humanitarian intervention and genocide. They needed someone who understood politics and international issues [but] who appreciated that they were in entertainment and could act as a bridge between those two worlds. And when they didn't find that person, they hired me. I'm kidding! [Laughs.] I wrote a formal brief and interviewed with George. When you communicate energy, enthusiasm, and discipline, it usually works well.
CL: Well, you had done your homework. It wasn't just the enthusiasm.
AW: No, absolutely. My career has definitely zigzagged, and that is euphemistic. My mom has stood on the sidelines and been like, "You will be homeless in five years." [Laughs.] But as much as it has seemed unfocused, I really cared about every one of those jobs. I'm proud of the work I did.
CL: That job in particular must have been challenging. One hears "George Clooney" and thinks, This is a cushy Hollywood job. But no, you were in Sudan; you were in Burma. What did you learn?
AW: Every single day was compelling. It was meaningful to have the goal of helping people, let alone to actually help them.
CL: Let's talk about the transition to television. Did you know you wanted to do that?
AW: One of the biggest educations I had in the Not on Our Watch job is in the power of media to convene an audience. Mr. Clooney and his associates are very good at that.
CL: I hope you're not required to call him Mr. Clooney.
AW: I've referred to him as George, G.C. [Laughs.] But there are terrible conditions all over the world; the people who get a spotlight are those most likely to be helped. And the seven-year-old me was like, "Remember when you used to interview the teapot?"
CL: It's a good strategy, by the way—think back to what you wanted at age seven.
AW: That's when you're dreaming the dreamiest dreams! I wa scovering innovation for The Huffington Post, and I started doing more TV on MSNBC as a guest. I really liked it. And then here we are.
CL: One of the great things I've noticed about you is that you seem to be the same person on air as off.
AW: So you either like it or you don't like it!
CL: Well, that's rare in a TV anchor.
AW: Phil Griffin [president of MSNBC] gives all his hosts and anchors a real opportunity to be who they are. "Playing TV" isn't what we do at MSNBC—which isn't to say there isn't a lot of work that goes on. But the act of [in exaggerated newscaster voice] "faking TV anchor," that's not who we are.

Any idea when stock on this item will be replenished?
Really? I am pretty sure these use a micro ribbon connect like an ffc/fpc connector….I got some from digikey, but the only ones I could buy in small quantity were surface mount and the pins were no easier to solder than the original ribbon on the light….
NOOBEN, in the data sheet it mentions a current limiting circuit as part of the cell phone design. I found that without adding a resistor the current exceeds limits, and the lights get very hot! SO I think you should add the proper resistor, depending on configuration, to keep the current per LED at max 20 mA.
No public wish lists :(

Ironwork on Balcony at La Pedrera or Casa Mila in Paseo de Gracia, Barcelona, Spain
I am sure this building Casa Mila also known as La Pedrera rings a bell. Maybe you saw the picture somewhere, in a postcard or in some expensive art book. Perhaps you are lucky enough to have visited Barcelona in the past and you wouldn't say no to a second or a third chance to see it. Well, it is never like the real thing, absolutely not, but if you click on today's image of the ironwork on one of the front balconies you will enjoy a very, very close shot of the famous façade. Not that there are few images like mine, but certainly you will appreciate every detail of the floral motifs. For more information read Casa Mila and follow the rest of links in the post.

Riled-up citizens in San Diego and San Jose, Calif., have spoken: This spring, they voted overwhelmingly to shrink retirement benefits for current city employees as well as new hires.
Fiscally worried state officials have taken action too. As of July 1, Rhode Island cut retirement benefits for all state workers, including retirees.
And crisis-wary legislators are working to preclude potential disaster. Last year, Utah's legislators not only set up a hybrid for new employees, but also capped the state's contribution to their defined-benefit plan. If the plan's costs are higher than the cap, employees make up the difference.
There's a public pension crisis out there. Defined-benefit (DB) plans -- the stalwart of public pension systems -- are in trouble, both financially and politically. The $757 billion in unfunded liabilities that the plans now carry are a threat to the well-being of states and localities and their taxpayers. Meanwhile, the private sector has been shedding its DB plans for decades, replacing them with defined-contribution (DC) plans in the form of 401(k)s. That has left those employees with pension envy. As voters, they are no longer willing to bankroll benefits for public employees that they no longer get themselves.
To address the growing problem, jurisdictions have implemented or proposed a number of changes. Some are revising the defined-benefit plan itself -- raising the retirement age or suspending cost-of-living adjustments. Some are looking at a more radical approach: doing away with the defined-benefit plan for new hires and offering them a defined-contribution plan only. But the middle ground -- and a trend that seems to be growing -- is to have a little of both: a defined-contribution plan backed up by a lower-level defined-benefit plan. Alternatively, some are opting for a cash balance program that combines aspects of both defined-benefit and defined-contribution approaches.
These are hybrid plans. While the trend may be fairly new, hybrids have been around for years. Indiana has had one since the 1950s. At last count, about a dozen states and a handful of cities have joined Indiana's ranks, offering their employees -- usually just their new hires -- hybrid plans.
The main impetus is to keep costs in check. States and localities see the unfunded liabilities of traditional defined-benefit plans as a threat to their budgets and credit ratings. If their employees had defined-contribution accounts instead -- a version of 401(k)-style plans -- they would eventually be relieved of that burden.
But a DC plan alone raises uncomfortable questions about retirement security for employees. Depending on how they are structured, DC accounts may have the same pitfalls as 401(k) plans have had in the private sector. Individuals are left to navigate the perils of the investing world on their own and could end up retiring in a down market, losing a big chunk of their nest egg. "We need to think of pensions not as wealth accumulation, but as old-age poverty insurance," says Keith Brainard, research director of the National Association of State Retirement Administrators.
It is a point Richard Hiller, senior vice president of the government market for the financial services organization TIAA-CREF, makes as well. In fact, Hiller objects to equating DC plans with 401(k)s in the first place. That "scares people who saw the losses suffered in 401(k) plans during the recession," he says. "But a properly designed DC plan should protect itself from those kinds of wild swings."
By "properly designed," he means one that provides a limited menu of low-cost investment choices that focus on generating adequate retirement income. Some of those choices would be annuities and life-cycle funds whose allocation changes over time as the member ages.
A proper DC plan also distributes income differently than a 401(k), he notes. Payouts can be designed to last for life rather than taken in a lump sum. In that way, it is "much more tightly designed to be a true retirement plan," Hiller says. Consequently, "the emphasis is on income replacement rather than on asset accumulation."
However well the DC plan is designed, there is still a need for a DB plan that provides a predictable level of retirement income -- albeit one that is less generous than today's traditional plans. Maintaining a DB plan as part of a hybrid plan is particularly important in the public sector, Hiller notes. "When the government is the plan sponsor, what you don't want is people getting to retirement without adequate assets -- then looking to the state to be their safety net."
A cash balance plan is an alternative to maintaining both DB and DC plans. It combines elements of both in a single plan. Like a traditional DB plan, contributions from employees and employers are pooled and professionally managed. But unlike a DB plan, the benefit is based on the amount accumulated in the account -- not on a formula based on salary and years of service. Members get a guaranteed rate of return, but it's likely to yield lower yearly payouts than a traditional DB plan. In effect, the cash balance plan eventually converts the savings in the individual's account into an annuity, with a minimum rate of return guaranteed by the employer. Though they are on the hook for guaranteeing the return, the cash balance approach greatly lowers future liability.
Nebraska, which started out with a DC plan for most state workers (teachers and some other public employees are in DB plans), switched to cash balance in 2003. The plan is mandatory for new hires and optional for existing employees.
Where some states see a cash balance plan as downsizing their pension plans, Nebraska "improved our benefit by going from a DC to a cash balance plan," says Phyllis Chambers, who runs Nebraska's Public Employees' Retirement System. For Nebraska, cash balance is a necessary improvement over the straight DC system.
"Cash balance offers a good, stable retirement income with a guarantee," Chambers says, "so nobody's benefit goes down." After all, investing is not only tricky -- even for the expert -- it also leaves the person about to retire at the mercy of the market. With a DC "it's all about timing," Chambers points out, and timing was terrible for workers who wanted to retire in 2008-09. A number of Nebraska's DC members were forced to postpone retirement, Chambers says, because their account values had plunged by half. But that didn't happen to participants in the cash balance plan who receive a guaranteed 5 percent minimum return. When investment returns are above 5 percent (as they were for the first five years of the plan), members get a dividend. When returns drop below 5 percent (as in recent years), the state makes up the difference.
Even with the state on the hook for that guarantee, it adds up to a much lower potential liability than the teacher's defined-benefit plan. In order to meet those payouts now and in the future, the pension plan operates on the premise of an 8 percent assumed rate of return. When the portfolio doesn't meet that return, the shortfall becomes an obligation of the state.
All in all, Chambers says the cash balance form of a hybrid plan has worked out well for fiscally frugal Nebraska. Recently Louisiana and Kansas decided to follow suit and adopt cash balance plans for future employees.
Most hybrids are so new that it's hard to tell how well or poorly they're working -- especially since they apply only to new hires in most states.
But Indiana has a long hybrid history. Its combination plan has changed little since its inception in 1955. It includes a modest DB component funded by the employer. On the DC side, employees (alone or in combination with the employer) must contribute at least 3 percent of their salary, with the option to kick in more. Employees, who also participate in Social Security, choose how to invest the DC funds from a limited number of options and assume the investment risk.
There is one unusual feature to the lineup of investment options available to employees: They can opt to invest their money with the state's defined-benefit portfolio. "They get what the DB portfolio earns, and that is a higher rate of return than they could get in any other plan," says Teresa Ghilarducci, a former public trustee with the Indiana fund (and currently chair of economic policy analysis in the Department of Economics at The New School for Social Research).
Although the system is healthy (the plan is 81 percent funded), the state wants to add a non-hybrid, DC-only option for new state employees. The state's objective, according to Steve Russo, executive director of Indiana's public employees' retirement fund, is to improve the management of risk and offer workers more choice. "We're keeping an eye on the future," Russo says. "We're trying to prevent a crisis so we don't have to act out of desperation."
Under the proposed DC-only option, the state would contribute funds into each employee's account equal to what would have gone into the DB portion of the hybrid. But members would assume all the investment risk and there would be no DB backup. New hires may prefer the DC-only option, Russo says, because the existing DB piece has a 10-year vesting period.
One of the selling points of a DC-only option is to give employees more leeway in choosing plans and investment options. "Giving people a choice is always better," Russo says. "But along with that comes the obligation to educate them before they make those choices."
He is referring to helping new employees choose between the state's current hybrid plan and the optional DC-only plan that the state hopes to implement. But the "obligation to educate" also applies to helping workers in a DC plan figure out how to invest.
As officials in Nebraska can attest, many employees are unsophisticated in that department and often make inappropriate or poor choices. Plan administrators can't dispense investment advice, so they may work with financial professionals by arranging seminars, webinars and individual counseling sessions as well as by providing general information in print and on websites.
The education effort is uncharted territory for many systems that are just getting started with the DC component of their plans. "It's so new -- that's part of the problem," says David Daly with the National Pension Education Association. "Everybody's trying to decide how to handle it." To that, Daly adds that educating members "is something we'll certainly be looking at as more systems switch to hybrids and DC plans."
Ready or not, like it or not -- hybrids are coming. Many state and local officials consider them a decent -- even good -- compromise for sharing the pain of the current era.

Grooming & Style
Eyebrow Grooming for Men
By Jessica Lothstein
Eyebrows are one of those mysterious facial features that can make a huge difference in your appearance … but generally go unnoticed unless something about them is terribly wrong (like, say, you're still sporting a unibrow or accidentally singed them off over a barbecue -- it happens).
First, you'll need to have the right tools on hand: razor, small electric trimmer, grooming scissors and tweezers. Next, shower or wash your face before attempting to shave or tweeze the area. The hot water and steam open up your pores and follicles and soften the hair, making the process easier (and less painful). Plus, this will help prevent ingrown hairs.
Now you're ready for the big browbeating. Here's how.
As for how to get rid of those stray border crossers, take a razor and use short light strokes but take heed: A razor allows more room for error -- remember Steve Carell's slipup in The 40-Year-Old Virgin that left him browless? -- but the hair will grow back quickly. On the other hand, you can use tweezers to pluck these areas, but you'll have to be extra-careful; repeated tweezing can cause permanent hair loss.
If you have fine hair, brush it upward, then trim till it's about 5 millimeters long. If you have coarse hair, pick out one hair and trim it slowly, a little at a time, till it's short but still lies flat. Then use it as a marker for the rest of the hairs.
And slow down -- this isn't a race. It should take you at least a few minutes to do a proper job.
As a general rule of thumb, the arch should peak directly above the pupil; make a note of where that is, then use tweezers to remove hairs directly underneath that point until you've defined the shape.

Jessica Lothstein is a freelance writer and former editor at Best Life magazine. She has covered the beauty and grooming industry for almost a decade and has collaborated with the nation's top barbers and stylists. Armed with a razor and tweezers, she can shave and pluck her way out of any hairy situation.

I also do not think that there will ever be a national attempt to take our guns. There are too many lawmakers who would not go along with it.
They will never get the votes to outlaw guns, although there are some who wish they could.
But one way we keep the border liners in line is to band together in organizations like the NRA. Although I do not believe confiscation will ever take place there could be repressive laws passed, such as ammunition ID or even outlandish taxes on guns and ammo.
I must admit that one of my worries is that one of the conservatives on the SCOTUS will die or have to retire while we have Obama or another liberal president. One more liberal justice would have changed the latest rulings in our favor.

Dzinziruk-Vera presser
Story and photos by Boxing Bob Newman
The Tuscarora Room at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York was the site for the pre-fight
press conference for tomorrow's ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights. Promoters' Artie Pelullo and Greg
Cohen were on hand as well as the main event fighters and special guest WBA Super Welterweight
champion Austin "No Doubt" Trout. Turning Stone Media Relations Liaison Brett Stagnitti opened
the event by welcoming fans and press alike to the third major televised boxing event at the resort
since September when HBO's Boxing After Dark featured WBA Middleweight champion Gennady
Golovkin vs. Grzegorz Proksa and tomorrow's main event fighter, former WBO Super Welterweight
champion Sergiy Dzinziruk vs. Jonathan Gonzalez. The following quotes are in order of appearance at
the microphone:
Artie Pelullo (Banner Promotions): ESPN is ecstatic to have this fight tomorrow night. The fighters
here know the importance of being the air tomorrow night in ESPN2. They are happy to have Sergiy
Dzinziruk on their air because he knows what a win in this fight will mean for him and what is means
to be fighting on American television again.
Greg Cohen (Greg Cohen Promotions): Before we get to the main event fighters, I want to talk about
one of the undercard fighters. Antoine Douglas will be fighting Emmanuel Medina. Douglas is 3-0, 2
KOs. He is a future superstar and it will be a treat for the fans to see him at this stage of his career.
Tony Luis is 15-0, he's fighting in the talent rich 140 lb. division. He's really in for a test. We had
a change of opponents in the last week and a half. He's fighting Jose Hernandez who I believe is a
tougher opponent than Miguel Gonzalez. Hernandez knows this is an opportunity and a win over a guy
like Tony Luis will springboard his career. I think Tony will pass this test with flying colors. He's a
true professional and I'm just excited that everybody's gonna get to see it.
Tony Luis: First of all I'd like to thank everybody who put this show together. This is a great
opportunity. This is a step up in competition for me. This is the launching pad for my career. This is
going to be a tough fight. I know Jose Hernandez has a reputation for upsetting many prospects before
and I certainly don't wanna fall into that category. It's a big opportunity for him. It's a big opportunity
for me as well and I'm certainly not gonna pass it up. I'm looking forward to a good fight. Thank you.
Jose Hernandez: I'm not big on speaking. I'm just glad God gave me the opportunity to be here. Like
I say, we're both good fighters. I came here to do my job and I'm hoping to pull the upset. I came here
to do my best. Thank you.
Eric Bottjer (Banner Matchmaker): I think we have a great show. It's a great mix between the
television fighters and the undercard fighters. There's a little international flavor. We have a terrific
Brazilian prospect by the name of Jackson Junior (Dos Santos) who is the Latin American light
heavyweight champion. He's fighting in the United States for the first time and he's very excited about
it. He's seizing the opportunity. He's fighting Dante Craig, the former Olympian from Ohio. We
have some local flavor. We have the institutions of boxing from the Upstate, New York area. Tony
Graziano and Ray Rinaldi are here with their fighter Ryon McKenzie who is undefeated. He's going
to be fighting Rayshawn Myers. We have a couple of young prospects form Kansas City. First is
John Franklin who is undefeated. He's taking on Micah Branch from Cincinnati, Ohio. Then we have
Jose Saenz in a Jr. welterweight fight against Jamell Tyson who is from Upstate, New York. The first
fight is at 7 p.m. You guys should get there early, not only to see the televised show but to see the
undercard. It's gonna be a great show. Thank you very much.
Ryon McKenzie: Hi everybody. It's just a pleasure to be here. I'm happy to have the opportunity to
be on the show. I wanna showcase my talent. It's just really good to be here. You can't get anything
better than this. I can't wait to get in the ring and go ahead and do my thing. Thank you.
Artie Pelullo: The main event is a very interesting fight and will have ramifications for both guys
in the middleweight division. Brian Vera has fought everybody…and beaten most of them. He's a
very difficult fighter and he's a tough guy. I've known him a long time. He was with a lot of different
promoters who were friends of mine. He took the fight, probably against, arguably the best Jr.
Middleweight in the world…in my opinion (pauses, then looks quickly at WBA 154 lb. champ Austin
Trout, with a grin). Oh, one of the best TWO Jr. Middleweights in the world. Sergiy Dzinziruk is MY
fighter. Sorry about that! I don't wanna get him mad (Trout). Just looking at me he could kill me.
Sergiy has never lost a fight at 154 lbs. The last time he fought up here, as you know was on HBO's
Boxing after Dark. His opponent Gonzalez had this problem. He was ONLY like 15 pounds over
weight! He couldn't figure out how to make weight which was a fiasco. Sergiy didn't say "No." He
took the fight. He entered the ring with a man who was eleven or twelve pounds heavier and also ten,
twelve years younger. He deservedly got a draw. I thought he won the fight. He hasn't lost a fight
at '54 and Brian knows that. Brian came her because he knows the winner of this fight will be in play
to fight for the WBA title against Gennady Golovkin, which is something that's being in the works
now. So it has very big ramifications for whoever wins the fight. I first wanna bring up David Watson,
Brian's trainer.
David Watson (Vera's trainer): I'd like to thank Banner Promotions for making this possible. I
realize that this fight has big ramifications. If you know anything about Brian, he's probably one of the
toughest men I know. He shows up to the gym way before I show up. Never late. Hardest working
guy I've ever met in my life. I'm very glad to be working with Brian. He'd like to come up and say a
couple words to let you know what's on his mind.
Brian Vera: First of all I'd like to thank God for making this possible. Thank you all for coming out.
Thanks to Banner Promotions. I'll probably say more after the weigh-ins. I'm a little bit hungry right
now. I had a great camp with Ronnie Shields. He wasn't able to make it because he's with the Charlo
twins for the Showtime show. I'm just happy for the opportunity and I WILL be victorious! Thank
Artie Pelullo: About Sergiy. Sergiy's only loss was to Sergio Martinez. In the seventh round, he
hurt him badly. After the fight, I ran into Sergio in the lobby and he said to me, "I was hurt bad in the
seventh round." So the only loss he (Dzinziruk) ever had was in the middleweight division. He is one
of the great fighters in his era, in his time. (Looking to Vera) This is another great fighter looking to
be. (Now looking to Dzinziruk) This is a great fighter who's been there and looking to stay there. He
knows how important this fight is to him. He's very professional, very focused.
Justin Fortune (Dzinziruk's trainer): We've trained hard for this fight. We know Vera, we know
he's a tough kid. He comes forward. He's dangerous. We're gonna stick to our game plan, box him
and come out victorious. Thanks.
Sergiy Dzinziruk: I want to thank everybody. I feel like I never left this place because I was just
here recently. It is going to be a very interesting fight tomorrow night. I am going to be victorious. I
wanna give special thanks to Artie Pelullo and Gary Shaw for letting me fight in the United States.
Austin "No Doubt" Trout (WBA Super Welterweight champion): How you guys doing? I'm
Austin Trout. Thank you guys for coming out. Thank yo to the Turning Stone for bringing me out.
Thanks to Greg Cohen promotions for putting this card together. This card is very interesting from
top to bottom. I've actually followed a lot of names on this list. To say I'm excited about the fights
tomorrow is an understatement. As far as my plans go- I got nothing official. Of course you all know
who we're wanting to get. We want the red-headed boy (WBC counterpart Saul "Canelo" Alvarez).
If not, we'll take anybody that's in that top ten list. So hopefully we'll have an announcement to
make…and it BETTER BE BIG! (Draws laughter and applause).

Thanks for the reply LJ :)
I think my biggest worry is listeria and toxoplasmosis. Based on the way I have been washing my lettuce, jas there been any risk of those?
I think I just need some reassurance :)
(I was never this paranoid for my last 2 pregnancies :P)

Sandra Bullock Sees Louis Off to School
Dropping off her little one for a day of learning, Sandra Bullock was spotted leaving her son Louis's school on Tuesday (November 27).
The "Blind Side" star was looking great in a black sweater, gray leggings, a gray scarf, and aviator sunglasses as she made her way back to her car.
Yesterday, the 48-year-old's little Louis was showing a bit of style himself, sporting a growing mohawk as he was carried on mom's hip.
Of course, the little man had to keep things a bit tame while spending Thanksgiving with Sandy's parents. Louis Bardo was seen in a blue button-down shirt and adorable blue vest as he greeted his grandparents.

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: D-backs make closer switch ... again
Another no-hitter for Homer Bailey? That's good stuff.
First pitch: The Brewers and Nats get NL action started at 6:05 p.m. ET, while the first AL game is Tigers-Jays at 7:07.
Interleague DH issues: Once again, Padres, Cubs and Cardinals will add DHs in AL parks. None of these three teams used the occasion to add anyone special to their lineups on Tuesday.
Streaming starters: Samuel Deduno was just mediocre last night, so we're down to 50-31 for the season. Today's pick is Nats' southpaw Ross Detwiler (owned in 5.7 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) versus the undermanned Brewers, while Thursday's selection is slightly underrated Met Dillon Gee (5.1 percent owned) against the D-backs.
On to the news:
- After blowing a save Monday night and throwing with decreased velocity in two outings since coming off the DL, J.J. Putz has been yanked as the Diamondbacks' closer in favor of Heath Bell. According to the Arizona Republic, Putz has "no issues with what he hopes will be just a temporary role change." I suspect that Putz will get his job back sometime soon, but if Bell is effective he could run with it. Sorry to be vague, but closers are unpredictable like that.
- The Brewers aren't expecting Ryan Braun (hand) back until after the All-Star break.
- Ditto for the Red Sox and SP Clay Buchholz (trapezius muscle). FANTASY NEWS Check out the latest
- New Oriole Scott Feldman will start tonight against the White Sox. He's worth an AL-only pickup, but not if if requires a large investment. On the other side of the O's-Cubs trade, Jake Arrieta is an interesting possibility as a future closer fin Chicago. I don't mean next week, but sometime.
- The Rockies finally placed OF Dexter Fowler (hand) on the DL; he could return as soon as next Thursday. Tyler Colvin started in center field for the Rox on Tuesday.
- Blue Jays 1B Edwin Encarnacion (hamstring) missed another game last night, but he should be back soon.
- Welcome back, David Price. That was an impressive outing, even if it was against the Astros. It was nice that Evan Longoria returned from his foot issues to join Price. Longoria's owners should still be a bit worried, because plantar fascitis usually doesn't just go away.
- The Red Sox hope that SS Stephen Drew (hamstring) will be back in the lineup by Friday. However, they're also apparently talking about trading for a third baseman (like Michael Young) and moving Jose Iglesias to shortstop, so you should be looking for alternatives if you own Drew.
- Cardinals OF Matt Holliday was scratched last night with a stiff neck, and is day-to-day.
- With Josh Willingham on the DL, the Twins activated Aaron Hicks, who had two hits last night.
- Yankees SP Hiroki Kuroda will skip his Friday start due to a hip flexor injury, but it doesn't sound serious. His teammate, Alex Rodriguez, made an uneventful (in a good way) rehab appearance last night. Memo to Yankee beat writers: Go cover A-Rod in Charleston. What a great place.
- The A's are hoping to get C John Jaso (hand) back in the lineup today.
- It sounds like Tom Wilhelmsen will reclaim his closer role soon in Seattle.
- Mets SP Shaun Marcum (back) might be headed to the DL.
- Brewers SP Wily Peralta left Tuesday's game with a hamstring strain, and his status is TBD.
- Carl Crawford appears ready to rejoin the Dodgers this weekend, but with Yasiel Puig batting close to .900, there's going to be a playing time issue. Either Crawford or Andre Ethier is going to draw the short straw, and the bet here is that it will be Ethier.
- Braves OF B.J. Upton left Tuesday's game with forearm spasms, and is day-to-day.
- Due to the holiday, my weekly chat will be today at 2 p.m. ET. I've asked the editors to provide a fireworks show, so please stop by.

I'm 37 years old, weigh about 135 lbs. and I am scheduled to have Vaser Lipo on May 23rd, 2012. I am scheduled to have my stomach, hips, flanks, inner and outer thighs done all on the same day. Is this too much? I'm so worried that I am doing too much at once and if all of it is really worth it at all.
How much down time will I need and how long does the bruising and swelling last? With summer right around the corner, will I be able to wear a swimsuit (full piece- after having kids I gave up bikinis years ago lol)?

Rob ten Tusscher has been active as a photographer and member of "Fotogroep Schelfhorst" in Almelo (The Netherlands) since the 1970's. Although a broad series of photographical subjects and techniques are applied, over the years his work has become somewhat focused on two major themes: "street portraits" - social encounters with people from all over the world and all branches of society are visualized. The second theme, perhaps a bit in contrast with the first, is conceptual photography where images are created using arbitrary objects from daily life. The variety of the portfolios on this website illustrates a passion to observe and capture images in all kinds of situations. More of his images can be seen on this website: www.robtt.nl

Under pressure to attain recruitment goals, the Army and Marine corps have witnessed a slight increase in the number of recruits who have prior felonies. The number of soldiers admitted to the Army with felony records went from 248 in 2006 to 511 in 2007 and the Marine totals went from 208 to 350. In reality, these are rather negligible numbers and merely reflect the pressue on recruitment personnel to reach target goals. The bulk of the crimes were related to burglary, other thefts and drug offenses while a handful fell into more serious crimes. Congressman Henry Waxman believes the figures indicate "the significant increase in the recuruitment of persons with criminal records is a result of the strain put on the military by the iraq war and may be undermining military readiness."
Pentagon spokesperson, Col. Jonathan Withington frankly stated the issue as related to "low unemployment, a protracted war on terror, a decline in propensity to serve," and lack of enthusiasm on the part of parents or teachers to encourage young men and women to serve in the armed forces.
Although, in the best of all possible worlds, no one with a felony record would be admitted into the armed forces, but in an age when smoking a joint can result in obtaining a criminal record, one must take with a grain of salt these concerns about prior felony records.

August 23, 2012
London, UK (rushPRnews) 08/23/12 — A leading provider of Web Search Optimisation services, Alchemy Viral, this week report that it is endorsing and supporting the work of one of the country's leading children's charities.
Alchemy Viral, the Richmond-based online optimisation specialist, will support Educating the Children (www.etceducation.org) in its work to raise awareness of children's education and rights in the Masai Mara, Kenya. Among the projects the charity works on are Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and enforced childhood marriages in Masai Mara.
The Educating the Children organization was established when one of the charity's founders went on a trip to the Masai Mara and found quite shocking conditions for children there. Among the main problems were too many children in classrooms, not enough few teachers and no education at all for many children of secondary school age.
The charity also works to raise awareness of FGM and enforced childhood marriages in the region, with some girls as young as 8 forced to marry.
Though the Masai Mara has long been known as a tourist destination, the region's citizens are very much neglected and ignored. Alchemy Viral Managing Director Andreas Voniatis wants his company's support to translate into assistance for projects like ETC building a secondary school for girls in the Masai Mara.
"I have great sympathy with the aims of ETC. My daughter is just 3 months old. Like every parent in every country I have high hopes for her. I can't imagine her being denied an education, or even worse being a victim of enforced marriage or FGM", commented Andreas Voniatis.
"I want to spread the word about the charity's work. We will be quite overt in our support of ETC to all of the people we communicate with, be it by email, our website, or corporate activities. We are also supporting the charity with what we do best… raising their profile on the web. We have already created a Facebook page for the charity and added a link to our Facebook page. We are Tweeting regularly about ETC and teaching them also the importance of regular publishing and how to earn coverage across the web".
Sonal Kadchha, co-founder of ETC, is pleased to have Alchemy Viral's support: "I'm very pleased that Andreas has come on board to support ETC - not only is he contributing financially but his help in increasing our online presence is invaluable given the importance of social media in the world today".
Andreas Voniatis will travel to the Masai Mara to see ETC's work for himself this year. ETC recently announced that one of the classrooms in its new secondary school for girls will be named after Andreas' young daughter, Julia.
