1. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingPDCLarry Jun 10, 2009 5:05 PM (in response to Jaypse)
I get 3-4 hours, which is the claimed life for light usage (2 hours for heavy). Today's (6/10) Wall Street Journal had an article on the MiFi that also confirmed 4 hours in their tests. It is a little annoying that it doesn't warn you of low battery until it's too late, and also doesn't tell you when it is fully charged.
You can get intermediate state of charge by logging on the the MiFi itself via a wireless connection. Just point a browser to http://192.168.1.1. If you have never done this before the password is "admin". You should change it immediately, of course.
2. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingJaypse Jun 10, 2009 5:44 PM (in response to PDCLarry)
Thanks. I do use the admin page to manage security etc. and yes that is the only battery indicator, such as it is, that I've seen anywhere.
A couple more questions:
- Does your device charge via USB? Is there any trick to this? I use both a Mac and PC with it and I heard that you muct be using the admin software (presumably the VZAccess) to charge via USB. I don't have VZAccess on the MAC because it wasn't required but regardless, neither seems to put much of a charge into the device, though it does work indefinitely when tethered.
- Also, how's the heat coming off that thing? I don't think it can stay packed away in a bag while in use.
3. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingPDCLarry Jun 10, 2009 8:54 PM (in response to Jaypse)
My MiFi charges via USB. However, USB ports are only required to supply 1/2 amp, while the MiFi charger supplies 1 amp. So it may take longer using a computer port. Many newer computers also supply 1 amp, so this is not a hard and fast rule. If you are using a hub that does not have its own power that 1/2 (or 1) amp is divided among the ports, so if you use a hub only use one that has its own power supply.
On a Mac the keyboard USB port cannot supply power, so don't use that one (unless it is the newer aluminum keyboard). On a PC desktop if there are ports on the front they are most likely an unpowered hub under the covers, so only use ports on the back.
On a laptop all ports are usually separate.
You don't have to use VZaccess to get it to charge.
4. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingdave1812 Jun 11, 2009 1:10 AM (in response to Jaypse)
Charging thru the included charger/cable should take up to 2.5 hours. Charging via USB may take as long as 8 hours.
I complained to Verizon today about the lack of a charging indicator and they are escalating the issue to Novatel. I expect to hear back from Verizon by early next week. I have had 2 units and neither EVER shows an amber light for charging--just green. The first unit sporadically flashed red even with a fully charged battery. I've had the second unit less than 24 hours so it's too soon to know if it will also begin flashing red when it shouldn't. Apparently Novatel rushed these units to market, not fully tested.
5. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingdave1812 Jun 11, 2009 5:58 PM (in response to dave1812)UPDATE: I finally got a call from Novatel and they are researching the problem with the status light. I should know more tomorrow (the 12th)
6. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingJaypse Jun 11, 2009 7:24 PM (in response to dave1812)I'll be interested to hear. I'm an early adopter to be sure but I didn't expect this sort of stuff. I wonder if it can be firmware fixed? Also, I hit my 30 days next week so I'm wondering if I should try another unit. I let it charge via AC last night for at least 2.5 hours and it still only gave me about 2 hours today before flashing red. :- /
7. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingdave1812 Jun 11, 2009 9:43 PM (in response to Jaypse)
2 hours is quite short. even after 2.5 hours of continuous usage, mine is still in the green. it's rated at 4 hours of average usage, with 2 hours being heavy usage, IIRC, or what you'd expect with several clients. I would at least try another unit. Be aware, that when I had a problem with mine, they sent me ONLY the MiFi unit! No battery or any other items. Just a bare MiFi wrapped in bubble wrap and tossed into a large box for Fed Ex delivery.
I've got until the 28th, but my patience is wearing thin with the status light issue. If, by next week it isn't resolved, I'm getting a refund. Too much hassle trying to keep track of the charging the way it is now.
8. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingJaypse Jun 11, 2009 10:15 PM (in response to dave1812)Always good to compare notes so I really appreciate your feedback. I bought mine at a Verizon Store while traveling so I was thinking of going to another store locally. Did you get yours replaced over the phone?
9. Re: MiFi 2200 Battery life and chargingdave1812 Jun 11, 2009 10:24 PM (in response to Jaypse)
Yes, I was on vacation in LA, and called the Verizon support number. They offered to send one to my hotel the next day. It arrived by 10AM the next day and I picked it up in the evening (I was out all day) and placed it into service. The new unit SEEMS to have resolved the intermittent flashing red light, but I still don't get an amber light when charging, so I've escalated the issue and am now dealing with Novatel directly. Verizon will not want to contact Novatel on your behalf unless you make a huge stink. I ended up emailing Novatel twice, AND left them a detailed message at their corporate headquarters in San Diego. I suggest you might want to start with a replacement unit first, then see what happens. But, like I said, I didn't get a new battery, so be sure to let them know you suspect the battery itself may be the culprit.
FYI: you will need to activate a new unit, but of course if all you get is a battery, you won't have to go through that routine. My replacement MiFi hadn't been registered with Verizon before it was shipped, so I had to call tech support in order to activate it--another small hassle.Message Edited by dave1812 on 06-11-2009 04:23 PMMessage Edited by dave1812 on 06-11-2009 04:24 PM

text: By KEVIN BEGOSPITTSBURGH (AP) â¿¿ What causes clear, fresh country well water to turn orange or black, or smell so bad that it's undrinkable? Residents of a western Pennsylvania community have been trying for more than a year to get that question answered in their quest to get clean water back. Some of them say the water was spoiled by drilling deep underground for natural gas. Others point to pollution from old coal mines. They've also been told it could even be a baffling mix of natural and manmade reasons that change the water over time, like the leaves change on trees. But no one knows for sure, and they say the uncertainty is maddening. In late 2011, the drinking water for about a dozen residents in the Woodlands, a rural community about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, began to change. At first, the families blamed gas drilling, or fracking, being done 2000 feet away. But state tests showed the water wasn't contaminated by drilling, and even more confusingly, many of their neighbors reported no problems. Families with bad water then turned to federal officials. But last summer the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency quietly sent a letter to one resident, Janet McIntyre, saying the agency agreed with the state finding, since most of the chemicals found in the water could have occurred naturally. McIntyre wasn't satisfied, noting that the EPA "never set foot on my property to test the water themselves." The EPA didn't respond to a request for comment on why the agency didn't retest the water. Still, the residents with water problems were hopeful that the Atlanta-based U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry was looking at the issue. But last month the agency said it "is not actively investigating complaints from this area." "I'm just very, very frustrated," McIntyre said.

Hylaeus affinis vs. H. modestus
Expand Messages
Rebekah Nelson and I have been working on ways to tell female Hylaeus affinis from H. modestus. In most areas they make up the bulk of the Hylaeus catch and Mitchell's key has always been confusing. See if the information below is useful and let us know of any changes you feel need to be made.
H. affinis vs H. modestus - Tricky and often confused pair - Combination of characters
H. affinis - Tegula with clear yellow patch AND the slightly smaller tegula-like structure usually partially hidden under the tegula with a yellow stripe along its edge - Several to many pits on the mesepisturnum touching - Secondary and more subjective characteristics include the surface of the mesepisturnum being slightly rougher and the pits a bit more difficult to detect, the yellow on the pronotal lobe running to the pointed end by the collar, and the yellow paraocular marks on the head having their margin nearest the antennae being relatively straight
H. modestus - Tegula and the structure below it with no yellow patches- No to a very few pits on the mesepisturnum touching - Secondary and more subjective characteristics include the surface of the mesepisturnum being comparatively smoother, even though still heavily lined and tessilated, and the pits very clear, the yellow on the pronotal lobe not running to the pointed end by the collar but being retracted slightly back, and the yellow paraocular marks on the head having their margin nearest the antennae not straight but having a projecting angle somewhere about the level of the top of the base of the antennae, note that in both species the marks in the paraocular area often are truncated to only the height of the antennal bases not beyond
Unknown - Could be either - Combination of the two species characters, often this can include the presence of absence of a tegula yellow mark when other characters are contraindicative. Usually there are several specimens in any series that cannot be safely ascribed.

Magellanic Penguin
Neither clown nor child nor black
nor white but verticle
and a questioning innocence
dressed in night and snow:
The mother smiles at the sailor,
the fisherman at the astronaunt,
but the child child does not smile
when he looks at the bird child,
and from the disorderly ocean
the immaculate passenger
emerges in snowy mourning.
I was without doubt the child bird
there in the cold archipelagoes
when it looked at me with its eyes,
with its ancient ocean eyes:
it had neither arms nor wings
but hard little oars
on its sides:
it was as old as the salt;
the age of moving water,
and it looked at me from its age:
since then I know I do not exist;
I am a worm in the sand.
the reasons for my respect
remained in the sand:
the religious bird
did not need to fly,
did not need to sing,
and through its form was visible
its wild soul bled salt:
as if a vein from the bitter sea
had been broken.
Penguin, static traveler,
deliberate priest of the cold,
I salute your vertical salt
and envy your plumed pride.
- Neruda, Pablo.

How Do You Dispute A Debt On Your Credit Report?/in Bankruptcy, Credit, Creditors, Duncan Law Blog /by Damon Duncan
Am I Personally Responsible for Business Credit Card Debt?/in Bankruptcy, Chapter 13, Chapter 7, Credit, Creditors, Duncan Law Blog /by Damon Duncan
You are only personally liable for the debt if you sign as a personal guarantor.
What is that you ask? It is someone who ?guarantees? (hence the derivative ?guarantor?) to pay for someone else?s debt should they default on their obligation. It is quite like a co-signer but normally applies to business debt.
As you know, businesses come and go as the days go by. It is quite easy to open and close a business; and as many credit card and loan companies understand this, they will often have the owner of the company personally sign as a guarantor on the loan. This protects the creditor should the business close; this way even if the business itself is not open, there is still a live body that obligated to pay them their monies owed.
The good news is that if you have signed as a personal guarantor on a business credit card or loan and the business has closed, should you file a bankruptcy, you can include that business debt as part of your personal debt to relieve your personal liability on the debt owed. If the business is still open then the creditor has every legal right to go after the business for the debt owed, but not you personally.
Getting A Newer Vehicle While In A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy/in After You File, Bankruptcy, Bankruptcy Video Vault, Chapter 13, Credit, Duncan Law Blog, Video /by Damon Duncan
If you are currently in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and want to purchase a new vehicle there are several things that must be done. The information below is extremely important to the success of you being able to get a new vehicle so read it very, very carefully. It is critical that you get the court's permission before going and incurring any debt (loans) on your own. To make the process as clear as possible we have broken it up into five different steps.
The Dangers of Cosigning On A Debt/2 Comments/in Bankruptcy, Bankruptcy Video Vault, Credit, Creditors, Duncan Law Blog, Video /by Damon Duncan
Should you cosign on a debt for a friend or family?
Cosigning on a debt is almost never recommended. However, it's a tough decision sometimes when you have friends or family that need you to cosign on a debt to receive the necessary loan. Typically, though, it's not a good idea to cosign on a debt. Let's find out why.
What is a cosigner?
When someone is trying to obtain financing and they do not have the FICO credit score necessary to receive financing on their own, the creditor may request someone else cosign on the debt to receive the desired financing. So what exactly does cosigning mean? If someone cosigns on a debt it means they are agreeing to be responsible for that debt if the original debtor is unable to pay it.
The problem is, if the person who originally needed the loan can no longer pay it then the creditor can go after the cosigner for the debt. The creditor has the same rights to go after the cosigner as they do the primary debtor. It is not uncommon at all to see a codebtor be sued for an uncollectable debt.
Lets take a look at an example:
Dana the daughter needs to get a new vehicle. Her old vehicle has broken down and without a new vehicle she cannot get to her minimum wage job. She goes to a car dealership and after sitting down to sign all of the final paperwork the finance director at the car dealership they tell her they cannot give her financing due to her low credit score. Dana had a repossession three years ago that appears on her credit. They tell her she will need to get a a cosigner to receive the necessary financing. Stressed and needing a vehicle Dana calls Molly, her mother, to explain the situation. Molly the mom wants the best for her daughter Dana and knows she has to have a vehicle. Dana promises her mom that she will make the payments. Hesitantly Molly cosigns on a car loan for $30,000.
Fast forward and a year later Dana has made all of the payments on the vehicle. Molly barely even remembers that she cosigned on the debt. Unfortunately though, Dana ends up losing her job and can no longer afford the monthly car payment. To ensure the car is not repossessed again Molly, Dana's mother, agrees to make the payment until Dana gets a new job. Months and months pass by and Dana is unable to find a job. Molly has used her savings and even pulled from her retirement account to try to continue to make the payments. Eventually Dana's moved back in with her mother and Molly has exhausted all of her savings and retirement funds and they get behind on the car. The financing company eventually repossesses the vehicle and sells it at an auction for $5,000. The problem is, they still owed $20,000 on the vehicle. The finance company then tried, unsuccessfully, to collect on the deficiency balance of $15,000. Because of that, they filed a lawsuit against both Dana and Molly and eventually place a lien on Molly's house and add interest, late fees, penalties and attorney's fees to the amount owed.
The creditor could potentially try to repossess Molly's other vehicle (which is paid off), go after money in her bank accounts and even foreclose on her house (which has a lot of equity). As time passes the creditor continues to add extra fees to the amount that is owed. Eventually, Molly has to file bankruptcy because she owes on the deficiency on the vehicle that she cosigned on and owes a lot in taxes because she had to withdraw a lot from her retirement account.
So what have we learned?
Don't cosign on a debt with someone else. The person needing a cosigner may have the best of intentions. In our example above, Dana certainly did not want her mother to go through the stress and worry of having creditors come after her. The reason a finance company requires a cosigner is because they believe there is a good chance the person seeking the financing won't be able to make the necessary payments. If this were to happen, creditors don't care that you cosigned just to help out. Instead, they will come after you as if you were the one who originally failed to make the payments.

What Is A Security Interest? A Debt Secured by Collateral/in Bankruptcy, Credit, Creditors, Duncan Law Blog /by Damon Duncan
When you obtain a loan, in most cases the lender does not want to just give you the money, they want to make sure that you have some sort of incentive to make sure you make your payments. What better incentive is there than taking away your property if you do not pay? Therefore, creditors normally want something as collateral to ensure you repay the money they lent you; they are taking a secured interest in your property and the debt you owe them is a secured debt.
There are many different cases of secured interest. You can go to a dealership and purchase a vehicle, the lender then has a secured interest, the car that you just purchased. If you decide to no longer keep making your car payment the lender can simply come and pick up or repossess the vehicle. Put it up for auction and recoup their money. You buy a home, for whatever reasons, you no longer make the payments, then the mortgage company is going to come and foreclose (take your home back) on your property. If you go to Best Buy and get a new TV, even though you don't sit in their office and sign a promissory note like you do on your vehicle; that credit card you used to make the purchase acts the same. Best Buy still has a secured interest on their goods (the TV that you purchased). This is what's called a purchase money security interest.
Most debts are unsecured debts. Meaning they do not have a security interest. Most credit cards, medical bills and personal loans are without you putting collateral up for the debt. However, you know a debt is secured if you have property the creditor can come and get if you do not pay the debt.
Companies have rights just as consumers do in order to protect themselves, when you purchase something whether it be a car, a home, jewelry or furniture, companies need to know they will recover the money due to them and, therefore, use collateral as a secured interest. If you cannot make the payments, they can recover the collateral and try to sell it to recover the amount they loaned you.

Liberty Women's Track Achieves NCAA Division I All-Academic Team Recognition
Liberty, one of 97 Division I women's programs to garner this distinction, posted a team GPA of 3.110 for the recently completed academic year. Arkansas-Little Rock notched the highest team GPA in the nation, 3.610, and Arizona State, the NCAA indoor and outdoor national champion, was voted the 2007 USTFCCCA Division I Women's All-Academic Indoor and Outdoor Team of the Year.
The Lady Flames' efforts were led by senior Arlene Zelinskas (Dayton, Ohio), a second-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honoree. She graduated in May with a 3.96 GPA as a biology major. Zelinskas, Piper Newby (Jr., Hayden Lake, Idaho) and Ashley Osborne (So., Bristol, Va.) all won USTFCCCA All-Academic recognition as individuals, last week. In total, 19 of head coach Brant Tolsma's female student-athletes were named to the Big South Presidential Honor Roll, by virtue of a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

There are countless sources for information on SQL Server available today. There are books, webcasts, conferences, and blogs. With all of these sources, it is easy to forget that there are white papers available from Microsoft. It is important that we make an effort to read the white papers that are available.
The trouble is, there are so many white papers available from Microsoft and other sources, we need to know which are most important. Should those from the latest release of SQL Server trump the older white papers? If a white paper hasn't been updated, is it still valuable?
As I've thought about this, there are a few Microsoft white papers that are available that are more important than others. They should be read by every DBA, and anyone that has a hand in managing or administering a SQL Server environment. These are:
The white papers listed above are just a few of the ones available from Microsoft. There are countless others, and even more from other vendors. What white papers do you recommend to others on SQL Server?

Time to change tires on 2001 330xi --- help needed
Hi guys,
Have been running Fuzion HRi 215/45/17s for 4 years. Have been great tires, but recently had an unfixable flat in on driver's front tire - the sidewall was shredded. Not sure from what, but they do have a fair amount of mileage on them. The front right tire also has an area where it looks like it may have been rubbed against a parking curb --- it's my mom's old car and she's not the best driver in the world, lol!
Anyways, I live in SW Colorado, generally have to deal with some snow and ice on the roads during the winter. I don't want to buy winter-only tires if I can avoid it, so I have my choices narrowed to some All-Season type tires. I;d like feedback on the choices if time permits. So here goes:
Goodyear Eagle RSA 215/50/17
Michelin Primacy MXV4
Continental Pure Contact
Fuzion HRi
Those are the ones that are at the top of my list; my spare is an RSA, have good experience with Fuzion, and the Primacy and Pure Contact have gotten outstanding reviews.
Let me know what you think!
In the All Season category, Conti DWS have gotten excellent reviews, they seem to do most things right.
There have been at least 4 or 5 tire threads on this forum within the last week or two....look around.
I'm not sure what your budget is but I recently put new rubber on my 01 330xi as well. I didn't want to break the bank with new oem $200+ good years so I went with hankook ventus v2 concept. I put on 235/45/r17 all seasons all around with the stock alloys. They have been great and a nice wider upgrade then stock. Low road noise, great tread and wet traction. No rubbing. Best value I could find and it helped that pep boys had their buy 4 get 1 offer on them. Hope that helps.
Continental DWS FTW!
If you order through TireRack, you can search on their website for recommended installers near your home. It turns out for me that the BMW dealship had the best price and used the same balancing equipment as the local tire shops.
I agree w/ Fast Bob. Conti DWS Extreme contact's. Good reviews and can be found fairly inexpensive.. T.D.com.. Gettin a set to R/R the cra**py Good for a years on my wagon.:D
Rubber down Knee down Chrome up:thumbup:
I too have a 2001 330XI. I just put on some General Altimax HP 225/45R17 on stock 17" rims. The tires have high ratings in all categories according to Tirerack.com's Test page.
They will give you a very comfortable ride with plenty of grip in any condition.
I paid $94 a tire. A total of $425 shipped. I received the tires 3 days after placing the order (Pennsylvania to Chicago).
The only downside I noticed was the lack of "road feel," which the old Michelin Pilot A/S' had provided. In return you get a much better ride.
The low price and versatility of this tire are what give it value.
My 2 cents :)
Link: (now $107/tire)
Had ANOTHER flat on my HRis. Great tires, just old, with 50,000+ miles on em.
So, I happened to flat like 100 feet from a Goodyear Dealer. They towed me in, and showed me what they had. I ended up going with the Eagle RS-A in 215/45/17 on the front left only.
Now, I'm looking at the remaining three tires. All have wear bar visibility. I think it's time to upgrade.
Should I stick with the Eagle RS-A? If not, my local dealer can do $700 OTD for 4x ContiExtreme Contact DWS, including install, mount, balance, warranty, and lifetime rotate and balance.
$700 doesn't seem like too bad a deal for me. What do you guys think?
not a good idea to have various brands/models mixed. especially bad on the same axle.
Unless you are already running the spare, it would have been better to put that on and then buy 4 of the same tires.
I ran RSAs on my e30. They did not have as much stick as Michelins but were quiet and wore very well.
i have heard good things about the Contis and the Michelin Pilot Sport A/Ss, agressive tread pattern on those, good looking tire
Well, you can either buy three more Eagle RSAs or use the new one as a spare and buy four new tires. But there is nothing wrong with the tire you bought - they are a good value for the money.
I hope you didn't think I was trying to come down on you - believe me, if that is the worst mistake you ever make, you are golden. I've made some lulus in my day.
I had Eagle RSAs previously, 205/55/R16, and did not find them especially good either in dry or wet conditions. Never tried them in the snow, since I used dedicated winter tires. I replaced them with Michelin Pilot A/S tires, which I found to be much better in wet and dry conditions. I thought they were particularly impressive in heavy rain. They are reasonably quiet, but have gotten a bit louder over time.
It's a shame your tire didn't last a wee bit longer. One option to consider would have been to buy 5 tires, keeping the 5th as your spare, and rotating it in periodically. That way, if you kill a tire, you still have 4 tires with comparable wear to continue using. This has added importance on an AWD vehicle like yours. Any chance you could sell your RSA at not too much of a loss, or trade it back at the same shop for one that you want? If not, toss it in the trunk and go with 4 of one the tires recommended here.

Marianjoy Selected as National Test Site for Innovative Rehabilitation Technology
May 15, 2012 (Wheaton, IL) – Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital recently acquired an Intelligently Controlled Assistive Rehabilitation Elliptical, or "ICARE" system, which helps people with mobility limitations, such as those who have had a stroke or multiple sclerosis, improve their ability to walk and enhance their physical fitness.
The Institute for Rehabilitation Science and Engineering at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska, invented the ICARE system with a $600,000 grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). Madonna selected Marianjoy as one of the first rehabilitation hospitals in the nation to use the patented ICARE in research and therapy with patients.
"I am very pleased to partner with Marianjoy – one of the leading rehabilitation hospitals in the country," said Marsha Lommel, President and CEO of Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital. "The ICARE system offers a tremendous advancement in rehabilitation therapy and increases patients' access to effective and affordable gait therapy."
The ICARE allows people to exercise using a movement pattern that is similar to walking. It provides automated propulsion so it is easy to begin and maintain exercise on the elliptical. The motorized control has a sensor that adjusts the level of support during exercise, so if a person needs more support, the power automatically increases, as the person needs less support, the motorized power decreases. The ICARE includes many features, such as an adjustable height seat, overhead body weight support system, ramp, wheelchair platform, clinician platform, modified foot pedals, stairs and grab bars that greatly increase accessibility for individuals who are weak, deconditioned, or who have balance problems.
"Marianjoy is at the forefront of rehabilitation and the ICARE system is an important addition to our service line, especially as we move toward state-of-the-art Assistive Rehabilitation Technology Institute, which is one of the major elements of our Legacy Campaign," said Kathleen Yosko, President and CEO of Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. "This progressive technology will undoubtedly enhance patient outcomes and improve the quality of life for people with disabling conditions."
Led by renowned gait specialist Dr. Judith Burnfield, researchers at the Institute for Rehabilitation Science and Engineering at Madonna spent three years developing the ICARE in collaboration with co-investigator Carl Nelson, PhD, from the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
After meeting with clinical team members at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital and providing training on therapeutic applications for the ICARE, Dr. Burnfield commented, "It was a great experience to work with such a dynamic group of therapists. Their commitment to their patients is exceptional. It is wonderful to see them integrating the ICARE as a resource to address the walking and cardiovascular fitness needs of the patients they serve."
"This advanced technology will enhance our ability to help many people with a broad range of diagnoses," confirmed Dr. Kathleen Ruroede, Vice President of Clinical Outcomes and Research at Marianjoy. "The ICARE system will also allow for multi-institutional collaboration and research opportunities to further advance the field physical medicine and rehabilitation."

Kim Kardashian on Divorce: Maybe I Rushed Into Something Too Soon
Kim Kardashian isn't staying quiet when facing the backlash over her decision to divorce Kris Humphries. A day after she filed for divorce from her husband of 72 days, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star tries to clear the air from reports that her marriage is a publicity stunt by admitting that she might rush into marrying the NBA player.
"This is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to write," the 31-year-old began her message to fans posted on her official site Tuesday, November 1. She continued, "I am trying not to read all the different media reports but it's hard not to see all the negative ones. First and foremost, I married for love. I can't believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!"
The former contestant on "Dancing with the Stars" further explained, "I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision." She added, "But it's who I am!"
"Everyone that knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul. I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon. I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have."
"I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn't know how to and didn't want to disappoint a lot of people," she went on to say before stating, "It just didn't turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for."
On reports that she "made millions of dollars off" her televised wedding, Kim responded, "These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this. I'm so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and I'll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation."
Backing Kim's statement was none other than the E! network. In its own statement released Tuesday, the network clarified, "Any insinuation that E! and producers orchestrated Kim's wedding is completely false."
E! additionally explained, "The Kardashians have authentically lived their lives on camera for a long time and Kim's wedding is one of the many real-life events that the family has shared with viewers, from Mason's birth to coping with their father's death to Khloe and Lamar [Odom]'s wedding."

Remember yesterday, when Gov. Tumbleweed-for-Brains was all giddy because except for the part where the Supreme Court struck down most of Arizona's heinous SB 1070 "papers, please" law, the Court totally upheld the law, in a "victory" for people who hate brown people?
Apparently, someone sat Jan Brewer down to explain some things to her, and now she's outraged—outraged!—and it's all Obama's fault:
Before lawmakers could fully digest the court's decision on Monday upholding the "show me your papers" provision of the law, the Obama administration announced that it was revoking agreements with Arizona police over the enforcement of federal immigration laws. [...]
Brewer told Fox News's Greta Van Susteren on Monday that she was "shocked" and "outraged" to learn of the move.
"This is politics at its best," she said. "It's just unconscionable. What they said to Arizona is, 'Drop dead, Arizona. Drop dead and go away. We're going to ignore you.'" [...]
"They arbitrarily single out Arizona and sent a bomb, if you will, across our bow and made Arizona once again a target," she said. "The people of America ought to be outraged. This is absolutely an assault."
Okay, so whoever sat Brewer down to explain things to her failed to mention that it was the Supreme Court who said (and I'm only slightly paraphrasing here), "Wow, that law you dry-heat dimwits cobbled together with string, spit and racism is, like, totally not constitutional."
Under normal circumstances, Brewer and fellow Republicans would no doubt invoke the old "activist judges" claim, but since even some of the conservatives on the Court agreed that Arizona's law sucks, Brewer pivoted to Plan B: Obama blah blah freedom blah blah generic Republican hyperbole blah.
Idiot governor of Arizona suddenly realizes SCOTUS decision not excellent news after all

Small Business Tax Deduction Strategies
Section 179 vehicles should be a key part of your small business tax deduction strategies. Can Section 179 property fit in with your business tax strategies?
Let Business Management Daily help you get each and every rental property depreciation credit and business tax deduction you're entitled to.
Are you holding onto any stocks that are worthless? If so, you may be able to salvage some tax relief on your 2011 return. Strategy: Claim a capital loss deduction for worthless stock. The loss can offset capital gains plus up to $3,000 of high-taxed ordinary income.
Are you short on cash for an IRA contribution this year? Uncle Sam may give you a "loan." Strategy: Use your federal income tax refund to fund an IRA contribution.
Suppose you've carved a subsidiary out of your main operation, so now you officially own two business entities. Potential problem: If certain employees work for both companies, you could be paying more employment tax than you're required to under the law. Strategy: Assign a "common paymaster" to handle employment taxes.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Joe Realist, May 21, 2014.
Very interesting. I've noticed from my own experience that people with degrees do better in any endeavor than people without. They tend to be not as lazy.
I think that is a very general statement with no merit. Being in the marketing field I work with thousands of business owners and I couldn't guess who had a degree or not. The only time I know is if they have a plaque on the wall or if they are in a professional field like a doctor or lawyer.
Frankly I do not consider getting a degree really indicative of much of anything.
Just sharing my observation. I think it's well documented as well. Really no argument.
I have a college degree. But, I have become less and less impressed with college academics as time goes along. In the end, it doesn't mean that a person is smart or even that educated. So many colleges will give a person a degree if they are willing to pay the money to get it. I had quite a few friends that were not very bright and didn't work hard, but their parents had the money to pay for them to go to school for 6+ years and eventually got that diploma for them.
I lived in Atlanta for 9 years where the city has the highest rate of college grads per capita. However, I've found much more intelligent and competent people in cities where the college grad rate was much lower. Part of that is there is a massive amount of colleges within a 3-hour radius of Atlanta. It doesn't mean that people are smart or educated, but there is better opportunity to find a college that will take you in.
While I think it is an interesting concept, using the Patriots and Colts as a point is a bit faulty since they only had Tom Brady and Peyton Manning as their QB's. That makes everybody seem a bit brighter. Did the Colts' graduation rate fall off the earth in 2011 when Peyton got injured and they went 2-14?
I think the bigger point here is Kelly taking the time to understand how his players learn and catering to what they feel works best.
Especially on the point about Kelly taking the time to understand how his players learn.
I was listening to a few people discuss this on the radio on the way to work today.
Then I ended up looking it up.
The evidence is pretty impressive. Kind of funny and sad for Jacksonville though--with them being the franchise with the least, while Seattle and Denver were two of the top 3 teams with the most graduates.
It's not saying only take players with degrees, but it is saying the odds are greater that those players will get a second contract and, on average (key point), have better and longer NFL careers.
My guess, and that's all it is, is that this would apply more to players a taken later in the drat than in round 1.
Although I like the idea of generally (not always) getting players that actually attended class or are even team captains, I'd love for teams to follow this rule strictly, so more players like Emmitt Smith can fall to us
I've found the same.
Many (not all) college graduates believe that once they have the sheep-skin their days of learning are over with and that they've "made it".
And in actuality all they've done is studied a bunch of stuff that isn't applicable in the real world and racked up a decent sized amount of debt.
The colleges themselves have created this "mindset" and one understands why from a marketing point of view why they would do such a thing.
In the "Contractor" thread, there is a lot of griping (and rightfully so) about the reality of working with contractors and part of the problem is that demand is outstripping the supply and there aren't enough of them. This creates a market where the contractor can get away with sloppy business habits because they know that there just isn't enough of them.
Instead we spend a lot of money (as parents, guardians and the government) that we don't have to send kids to colleges getting degrees that aren't useful, and having student loans that they can't pay back.
And at the same time there's a crying need for not just plumbers, electricians, HVAC specialists but for folks that can do factory work.
So you go to doctor who didn't complete med school?
I'd disagree fully that there are degrees in areas that are not useful. The core competencies of any college degree, regardless of major, are important in most aspects of life. Competency in written and verbal expression, mathematics skills, critical thinking, and information literacy are central to any degree.
There is a huge need for skilled trades people and factory workers - that has nothing to do with the value of a college education. If you are arguing that more people should simply go to trade school, I'd certainly agree - but again that doesn't mean a college degree is not valuable or of use in the real world.
Also, I know 100s of college graduates -- I can't say that any have the attitude that "they've made it" and don't have any more learning to do.
I agree fully with this.
This is one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever read. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and sacrifice to earn a degree. College isn't all about learning to program, be an engineer, doctor, etc. College helps you develop general skills that don't come from any one particular class. In school, you'll write lots and lots of papers, and your writing skills will be honed along the way. Many programs feature a core curriculum of general classes that all students have to take—history, English, math, science—to help you gain a broad appreciation for the world at large, as well as develop a general familiarity with important concepts and principles outside of your field of study. This kind of instruction helps you become more well-rounded and versatile.
Commitment is another great aspect of a college degree. You dedicate a lot of time to completing assignments, writing papers and studying for exams, and you learn priceless tactics like time management and how to focus on the task at hand.
It might also be that really talented players tend to enter the league early, and that the personality type that gets a degree after already being in the league is a personality type that's programmed for success, anyway.
Or it might be that the extra time in college really is helpful in developing athletes into the types of players who can be successful in the pros. But it might be because of the extra football and not because of the extra education.
Or it might be that guys who stick around longer when they might jump to the pros earlier do so because they tend to enjoy or be more committed to their college teams.
Either way, the correlation is interesting on the surface. Its the kind of thing I'd want to unpack further, though, because I suspect there's a lot going on that contributes to the correlation.
Yeah, "useless" was too strong of a word. I should have used "not worth the investment". Here's just one article that highlights several degrees that won't get a person a lot of bang for their buck... http://www.salary.com/8-college-degrees-with-the-worst-return-on-investment/
And I think kids are "strong-armed" into thinking that a college degree is an end-all OR more/better than learning a trade. The result is a lot of kids who spend an awful lot of money on college who probably would have been better off learning a trade, but we've instilled this the thought into their heads that a 4-year degree is the only way.
I'll grant you that learning how to learn is an important take-a-way from college.
Do you have a degree?
I think that is the main focus of teams that lean towards drafting players with degrees.
Plenty of exceptions both ways, but that is their line of thinking.
I believe most entrepreneurs and business owners would disagree.
I believe they wouldn't.
Yes, an AAS in Petroleum Technology and a BA in Organizational Management.

IALEI's membership will vote on the proposed merger in May. That membership body and IAAPA's board must both approve any merger before it can take effect.
Lewis denied reports that IALEI's executive committee voted separately on the merger question or that this vote resulted in an evenly split tally with then-chairman Sanfilippo casting the tie-breaking ballot. She termed this report "incorrect." All voting was done by secret ballot and by the entire board, not just the executive committee, she said, adding: "We have no knowledge as to who voted for what."
IALEI's board is united in support of the merger, Lewis said. "At this point our full board of directors is strongly recommending that a merger with IAAPA is clearly in the best interest of the FEC industry," the chairperson told VT. IAAPA president and chief executive Charlie Bray said the merger idea was a "unique opportunity" and a "natural combination."
Lewis said a merger would allow IALEI to focus on providing member benefits rather than a fight for survival. "IALEI is no different than other businesses that are being challenged by a tough economy," she said. "Our revenue stream has been affected through the decline in attendance at our trade show, a decrease in insurance program fees due to a soft market, and a decline in membership revenue for a variety of reasons (FECs going out of business, economic conditions)."
Lewis reported that two other recovery plans for the financially challenged association were considered, but rejected. One alternative was a possible merger with the American Amusement Machine Association. The second strategy involved further cuts in certain optional IALEI expenditures.
The merger has been under discussion for six months, Sanfilippo said. Lewis added that the two trade groups had previously talked in general terms about the possibility of a merger at various times over the past five years.
Lewis confirmed that such a merger would also mean "a significant number of positions in the IAAPA FEC committee would be held by IALEI members." At presstime, no information was available regarding what positions might be assumed by which members of IALEI, or by what process positions would be filled.

The only reason I gave them my cc info it's because the add said that it was ONLY $1 to obtain my credit score! I just noticed that they drafted $29.99 from my account!???? What? Unfortunately, I DO NOT want their service and DO NOT want a membership. I don't even know my member ID. I NEVER used the service after the first time when I looked at my credit for $1. THIS IS FRUSTRATING- I have a decent/honest job and that is how I make my money.That is what is company should do: try to make money through the right channels.

Friday was a big day for mega-popular social-networking/micro-blogging service Twitter; the company announced its acquisition of the most popular Twitter application for Apple's iPhone, Tweetie; and it said that it had "worked closely" with Research In Motion (RIM) on the first "official" BlackBerry client, which was just released to the public--in beta form--last week.
However, many third-party Twitter developers have voiced concerns that Twitter's support and "official" branding of both Tweetie, which will eventually be renamed "Twitter for iPhone," and RIM's Twitter for BlackBerry app will make it more difficult to market and sell "non-official" Twitter apps made by external developers.
On Sunday, just two days after the initial announcement, Twitter's director of its platform team, Ryan Sarver, attempted to assuage developers' worries over the announcements by explaining that the acquisition and endorsement of the BlackBerry app will actually be a good thing for the Twitter ecosystem, and therein, developers…in the long run.
From Sarver's e-mail:
"We love the variety that developers have built around the Twitter experience and it's a big part of the success we've seen. However when we dug in a little bit we realized that it was causing massive confusion among user's [sic] who had an iPhone and were looking to use Twitter for the first time. They would head to the App Store, search for Twitter and would see results that included a lot of apps that had nothing to do with Twitter and a few that did, but a new user wouldn't find what they were looking for and give up. That is a lost user for all of us."
The post goes on, but the gist is basically this: Twitter is putting its support behind both Tweetie, which has already proven to be hugely popular in Apple's iTunes App Store, and RIM's new BlackBerry client. That's because folks new to Twitter need to be able to quickly find an app for both iPhone and BlackBerry that's clearly labeled "Twitter" because the company/you-the-developer will lose them as potential customers if they get confused by the mass of already available Twitter apps from third-parties and simply decide to forget about Twitter altogether.
Umm. Okay.
Sarver also writes that even though the move may present a new challenge for third-party Twitter developers, it's really "beneficial to everyone in the ecosystem…[since] more opportunities become available with a larger audience."
He also goes on to apologize for the confusion that came along with the company's usage of the word "official" in reference to Twitter for BlackBerry and the upcoming Twitter for iPhone--formerly Tweetie. But the post on Twitter's blog announcing the new BlackBerry app hasn't been changed; it still reads:
"Working closely with RIM to deliver the OFFICIAL Twitter app has been a great experience and we are looking forward to bringing more and more Twitter innovation to BlackBerry."
Obviously, Twitter can purchase/support any and all of the third-party applications it pleases; however, I think that its attempt to disguise what is clearly a threat to third-party developers as an opportunity is deceptive, to say the least.
Why, I ask you, would someone new to Twitter, purchase Twittelator Pro for iPhone, which costs $4.99 on the iTunes App Store, when Twitter for iPhone, which will no doubt be the first result when someone searches said app store for "Twitter", is both endorsed by Twitter--and free?
On the BlackBerry front, why would someone who has no idea what to expect from a mobile Twitter app, purchase a BlackBerry app like TweetGenius, which costs $7.99, when RIM's official Twitter for BlackBerry is endorsed by Twitter and free of charge?


text: Plan Sponsor Guide Participant Guide 'Through' Way Do your target-date choices take participants to—or through—retirement? In recent weeks, our industry and those that regulate it have turned a sharp and critical eye to the structure, labeling, and marketing of one of the most popular offerings in today's retirement plans: the target-date fund. That examination is not necessarily a bad thing, of course, particularly when you consider that they have quickly become a de facto investment solution for the nation's prime retirement savings alternative. That said, these solutions have benefited hugely from their simplicity. What is sold is the concept: professional money management, monitored and rebalanced over time. With target-date solutions—and, more specifically, with target-date solutions as part of an automatic-enrollment strategy—we have been able to set aside many of the messages we once viewed as essential to participant-investor education. We no longer have to teach participants about the importance of asset allocation, the wisdom of "not putting all your eggs in one basket" (quite the contrary, in fact), nor the need to keep an eye on your investments and to rebalance regularly. The message today is, tell us your birth date and "we'll take care of all that." Still, as we are all now well aware, just because a fund positions itself as a 2010 fund does not mean that it shares a common notion of an "appropriate" allocation for an investor retiring next year. We will leave the determination as to which is "right" to others, but it is important for you—and for your participants—to know that there are differences, to know how that aligns with your fiduciary sense of "appropriate," and to help participant-investors make the decision that is best for them. To that end, this month's "Know How" acknowledges the "to" versus "through" retirement date philosophical variances—without placing that tag on them—as a way of helping your participants appreciate the importance of those distinctions. As always, I look forward to your feedback. —Nevin E. Adams, JD email@example.com Back to KnowHow Archives

GLACE BAY — The driver of the vehicle that hit two children on Main Street in Glace Bay has been fined.
Austin Snow, 64, of Glace Bay, was charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Snow was issued a ticket that comes with a fine of $693.95.
The Post talked to Snow and his wife Margie, owners of Union Street Deli-Mart, a longtime business in the community. The Snows declined comment on the accident but did make a brief public comment regarding the children, Destiny Burke, 11, and her brother Braydon, 8.
"Send your prayers to Destiny and Braydon for a speedy recovery," Margie said.
Police responded to a 911 call in the area of 696 Main St., Glace Bay, at about 10 p.m. Friday, regarding two children struck on Main Street.
Tony Angione had picked his children up on foot at their grandmother home on Bluewater Drive Friday night. The family had gone downtown to pick up some chicken and was returning to their home on Duke Street at the time of the accident. Angione said his kids were two minutes ahead of him but did use the crosswalk.
The children were rushed to the Cape Breton Regional Hospital and later airlifted to the IWK hospital in Halifax. Destiny is suffering from a broken femur in one leg and a broken bone in the other, as well as a bruised liver and fractured ribs.
Braydon received a serious head injury, broken bones in his hip and received stitches to close a gash above one eye.
Gino Angione of Glace Bay, the children's uncle, said he doesn't have any reaction to the charge laid against the driver of the vehicle.
"I'm sure he didn't mean to go out and hit two kids — it's going to be a healing process for him, too, and I wish him the best."
Gino said the family was contacted by the Cape Breton Regional Police Service to advise them the driver of the vehicle had been fined.
Gino said the family hasn't talked to Snow yet but eventually they will.
"When we do we'll sit down and talk to him. Accidents happen — the good thing is the kids are alive."
Gino said he spoke to his brother Wednesday.
"The children are coming along but in a lot of pain, of course after, everything that happened," he said.
"Braydon has gotten pins in his hip and his face was pretty damaged from the accident, too. He has a lot of healing to do. Destiny's held up in the bed with the two broken legs. Tony said she also has two broken ribs, a lot of lacerations and bruises. Tony's there with them 24-7 — they're not alone."
He said the community supporthas been fantastic, with someone even purchasing a bus ticket for Tony to come home and go back, but he doesn't plan to use it.
"He won't leave his children. The kids are both in the same hospital room now and Tony is in it with them."
Gino said friends at New Waterford Consolidated Hospital have also set up a fundraiser.
"He grew up in New Waterford. There's a lot of support coming from there, too."

Free screening is set for the Mabank Pavilion Oct. 19
By David Webb
The Monitor Correspondent
ENNIS – Fifth-generation Mabank resident Mike Hall always thought when he was growing up he would one day become a football coach, but as a young college man he left the field to pursue a much different dream.
"I loved the sport so much I thought that was what I was going to do," Hall said in a telephone interview from his home in the Ennis historic area. "But I started finding a real passion for theater and performing."
So it will be the actor rather than the football star who basks in the adoration of his hometown family members and friends when "The Merchant," a Western horror film, screens at the Mabank Pavilion at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 19. Several of the other actors and the writer, and director of the film will join Hall on the red carpet at 5 p.m. to meet the public in a reception that will include the distribution of free movie posters and actors' pictures with autographs until show time.
"I tell everybody to hold on to them because one day they will be worth a lot of money," Hall said. "I'm very proud of the movie and my work on it."
The free screening of "The Merchant" in Mabank will be the second public viewing of the 101-minute movie that Sub American Pictures filmed in the Texas communities of Gilmer, Sulphur Springs and Beaumont.
Timecode, the New Orleans Film Fest, will show "The Merchant," which was completed early this year, on Sept. 21. The Louisiana arts organization recently accepted the movie, otherwise the Mabank screening would be the first opportunity for the public to see it.
The Galaxy Drive-In Theater in Ennis also will show it on Oct. 27.
Hall said the decision to screen the movie in Mabank occurred after he, the director, Justin Mosley, and the writer, Allen Reed, realized they all had roots in the Cedar Creek Lake area. Mosley grew up in Malakoff and Reed attended Kemp and Mabank schools.
"There are all of these ties to the lake area," Hall said. "I thought what better place to screen the film. They all agreed it was a great place to show the film."
The film is the story of fictional Burning Bush, a rural community fighting evil brought to them by a vagrant local priest, according to the website, themerchantmovie.com. Mass madness ensues as two strangers arrive to claim the proceeds of a dark agreement involving the town's youth and the deal they made with the town's founders two decades earlier. A mystic bartender, drunk adventurer, farmhand, pregnant woman, young fugitive and can-can dancer unite and hole up in a saloon to fight the demons.
The violence in the as-yet unrated movie makes it unsuitable for young children under the age of 13, Hall said.
Texas communities should expect to see more movies than ever being made in Texas because the 83rd Session of the State Legislature tripled the budget of the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program overseen by the Texas Film Commission. The legislature voted to fund $95 million to the program for grants, tax refunds and tax exemptions during the next two years.
Hall said he makes his living as an actor, but he expects to be mostly working close to home rather than jetting off to California and other far-flung locations in the coming years. He spent a year in Los Angeles in 2002-3 learning the business and making contacts.
"It doesn't make any sense to be packing your bags and moving west when there is just as much work here," Hall said. "It's easier to do here."
Hall said his acting career, that has spanned 20 years, has picked up tremendously at age 45. He has appeared on stage, in movies, on television shows like "Dallas" and done voice-over and computer-driven animation work. His acting has run the range from drama to comedy, and his agent, Linda McAllister, who has an office in Waxahachie but networks in Dallas and Los Angeles, has kept him busy.
"I get lots of callbacks," Hall said. "Just now things are starting to happen for me that I always dreamed of."
The actor said he prefers the simple life of living in Ennis and its convenience to the interstate highways linking the major cities of Texas. "It's a different world in LA with everybody trying to break into the film industry" Halls said. "That's why I live in Ennis. It's a nice, quiet little town."
Hall said he is grateful for all the support he has received from local officials and businesses in his project to screen the movie in Mabank.
Admission will be free and visitors need only bring a lawn or camp chair with them to sit and watch the film.

text: Roger Moore kicks off James Bond anniversary tour of UK 007 stars travel the country to mark the 50th anniversary of the Bond franchise - and a new 22 film box set Comments Written By Ellie Walker-Arnott 12:20 PM, 13 September 2012 Roger Moore, the longest serving 007 who starred in seven films between 1973 and 1985, has today officially launched a seven day anniversary tour to commemorate half a century of Bond. As part of the 007 Days of Bond celebration a number of James Bond stars are set to appear at locations across the UK which have been used in the iconic franchise. The tour will also mark the launch of a Bond box set containing all 22 films on Blu-ray. This morning, in true 007 style, Roger Moore set a digital timer on a golden briefcase which contains the first box set. Alongside famous faces from the 007 films, the set will embark on the seven day journey before arriving at a HMV store on Oxford Street on Monday 24 September. After starting the timer the 84-year-old actor said: "I'm delighted to launch this Aston Martin on its tour of Great Britain with its special golden cased cargo, marking 50 years of 007 movies and the release of all 22 films on Blu-ray." The tour will begin on Monday 17 September at 10:07am when Eunice Gayson, who appeared in Dr No and From Russia With Love, will appear at Eilean Donan Castle in Syle of Lochalsh - which was used in the 1999 film The World Is Not Enough. Gayson and the golden briefcase will then set off in the Aston Martin which featured in Quantum of Solace to start its 900 mile journey. The golden case will travel the length of the country stopping off at the most memorable British locations including the Eden Project in Cornwall, which doubled as the diamond mine in Die Another Day, and the Nene Valley Railway, where stunt performers will run along a moving train with the golden briefcase to replicate a scene in Octopussy. A number of other Bond stars including Shirley Eaton - who was famously painted gold in the film Goldfinger - will make an appearance along the route before former Bond girl Britt Ekland and Bond villain Richard Kiel arrive in central London to deliver the golden briefcase to Oxford Street. The 23rd Bond film Skyfall, starring current 007 Daniel Craig, is in UK cinemas on 26 October. Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email
