Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
can you sue under bodily injury , i am told that once you settle with their company you can not sue your company i have $50.000 under bodily injury on my insurance .is this true ,thanks rob
Whether you can sue or bring a claim for underinsured motorist benefits depends on several factors. You are supposed to get consent from your company before settling with the other driver's company, but your company may have to show it was prejudiced if you did not. The language release that was signed with the other driver's company may present a problem. Also, it may depend on whether you settled for all or most of the other driver's insurance limits.
You also mention that you have bodily injury, but don't mention underinsured motorist benefits.
All of this need to sorted out by a PA attorney who handles these claims like me.
The answer is based on the limited facts provided and is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for advice regarding your individual situation. Contacting me, by itself, does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
That will depend on several issues. You should immediately obtain an appointment with a local PA. attorney to discuss whether you have effectively released your daughter's claim. Pennsylvania law does distinguish between limited and full tort and an individual who chooses "full" tort pays a higher premium (anywhere from 12% — 20% more) for coverage than if the "limited" tort option had been selected. The Pennsylvania Bar Aassociation Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) refers callers to lawyers in the counties that do not have a referral service of their own. This service covers 45 of the 67 counties in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There is no charge for contacting the LRS. The participating attorney agrees to grant Referral Service clients an initial consultation of up to one half-hour for a fee of $30; $15 of that fee shall be returned to the PBA Lawyer Referral Service with the client referral form. If it is the policy of the attorney to waive initial consultation fees, he/she is required to collect the $15 referral fee to be returned to the PBA.
The PBA LRS operates Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and can be reached by calling (800) 692-7375 or (717) 238-6807.

I assume that you are asking whether you can retain a personal injury lawyer to collect from your UIM after the 3rd party claim is settled?
Licensed in Pennsylvania & New Jersey & Serving the Nation. Only 29% Fee Deducted. 1-877-258-3083. www.InjuryLawyerPhiladelphia.comAsk a similar question
The question is whether you have Underinsured Motorist Benefits on your policy of insurance; what rights did you give away in any release you may have signed; and the seriousness of your daughter's injuries.
You should contact a personal injury attorney to review these issues with you.
If you call my office, I will be happy to discuss this with you.
Unless we have entered into a contract for my representation, this answer does not constitute legal advice.Ask a similar question
As the previous posts mentioned, you may be able to collect against your policy. However, more information would be need to provide an exact answer.
Many attorneys offer free consultations for these matters. I would suggest that you review the specifics with an attorney.
This post is for educational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
The terms of the "settlement" that you made with the other company will largely determine whether you can sue your company to pursue a claim against the UIM provision of your own policy. Unfortunately, if you signed a release and settlement agreement, you probably released your right to pursue any further claims, unless you bargained for and explicitly discussed your right to pursue UIM coverage. I would speak with a local accident and injury attorney, who can review the release language for you and advise you of your legal rights. Did you not have legal counsel in the first place? It is usually a good idea to obtain counsel in negotiating a settlement to their injury and accident insurance claims.Ask a similar question
As the previous answers indicate, the right to make a claim against your own coverage, after exhausting the defendant's coverage is generally created by uninsured/supplemental under insured i.e. UM/SUM coverage. The terms of each policy differ but all are governed by the applicable state law, and generally include a requirement that you request your carrier's permission before compromising the underlying claim. If they grant it, or fail to respond within thirty days to written request, you can go ahead and settle.
New York doesn't recognize "full tort" coverage so i refer you to the first answer which is spot on. As the previous answers also indicated, you should consult directly with a Pennsylvania personal injury attorney. Good luck.
I've been litigating civil cases in New York for almost fifteen years including personal injury, medical malpractice, business disputes, construction matters and all other types of civil claims. Feel free to check my website: ajlounyinjurylaw.com or shoot me an email at email@example.com. None of the answers I give on Avvo are to be taken as legal advice, nor are they intended to create an attorney-client relationship. The information provided is merely general information intended to allow you make an informed decision about your situation. I hope it was helpful.Ask a similar question
Not sure I understand your question. Sounds like you may have settled with the other driver. You may have the ability to make what is called an Underinsurance claim if you have that type of coverage. I need more info to evaluate your situation.Ask a similar question
Your question raises several issues. I recommend you contact an attorney. First, determine whether you have full tort or limited tort on your insurance policy(s). If you have limited tort, you may still recover under full tort if you meet certain exceptions. Your daughter`s settlement might need to be reviewed. Typically, a minor`s settlement requires court approval to be valid (this ensures the child`s needs are being looked after).
Also, just because your daughter settled her claim does not mean you have settled your own claim. As a parent, you may have a claim even though you were not in the crash. If you were in the crash, you still have your own claim. As other attorneys pointed out in this forum, there may be other areas of coverage with your own insurance company that should be looked into.
Again, I recommend you contact an attorney to review your case. I am confident you will find one that will not charge you for the review and then you have the piece of mind of knowing your rights are protected for you and your daughter. The compromise and release can have unintended consequences for your daughter.Ask a similar question

I began sitting with Lawrence and Ardeliza for their usual Friday
night meditation and satsang. I was astounded by the transmission
there, even though the first night I went there were only four of
us in total, and the other guy, I learned later, was Lawrence's
brother Randall. But I figured that two realizers were better than
one -- more is better, right? In the ensuing weeks, more people
came, many of whom I was surprised to find to be fellow 7 Keyers.
Though my impulse to community of any cultic form was truly burned
out by my involvement in the Free Daist Communion, I felt that the
camaraderie with the people who became regulars were people to whom
I could very much relate and with whom I seemed to share a common
level of insight. In other words, we were tuned into a very incredible
wavelength from the transmission we felt.
Later in September I
began sitting with Saniel, and I found it remarkable how much he
had changed. He had seemed like a disturbed character to me while
in FDC (disturbance that most of us shared there because of the
cultic mentality and the insane rantings of Love-Ananda), but now
he seemed to be free of that particular disturbance and seemed much
stronger to me. In the first meeting, we spoke about the fire of
self-damnation that occurs with leaving Love-Ananda, a psychic gauntlet
that all former devotees must run through and get out of their systems.
What was particularly
brilliant and "leading edge" about Saniel, Lawrence, and Ardeliza
was their teaching of the embrace of all phenomena, both "internal"
and "external." Nothing was profane or judged. Even though
this was similar to the teaching of Love-Ananda, it certainly wasn't
practiced in his community. Moreover, in most traditions and schools
which I have read, certain behaviors, trains of thought, ideas,
and philosophies were grossly or subtly preferred and rewarded over
others, always creating "shadows" within those schools. My own feelings
of the brilliance and superiority of this process of "accept and
embrace" was reflected in what these three musketeers were talking;
even the "demon" of reaction towards events was embraced. It felt
to me that this was Tantra at its essence, and in effect a place
where one could completely rest, as everything and every part and
aspect of oneself was simply allowed to arise and fall from and
into Being. It seemed to me that this was an advanced and "rapid"
path towards awakening and not one that everyone would be ready
for -- but for me it was perfect timing.
I began to sit regularly
with Saniel on Sundays in addition to the Friday evenings with Lawrence
and Ardeliza. They seemed to be brothers (and sister) in an incredible
transmission; one week Saniel seemed more profound, other times
Lawrence and Ardeliza. In the beginning the transmission directly
struck me on the right side of the heart with such intensity that
I felt that I would crack. The heat of this wonderful process, almost
purely initiated with satsang, brought to me many wonderful insights
that were undeniable, too numerous to name here. The first few times
that I sat in satsang, I would lie in bed trying to sleep that night
with my body suffused in light and shakti energy. It was remarkable
how powerful the transmission was for me from all three of them.
I began a career of shakti-insomnia that often plagues me to this
On November 11th, Anne
began to sit with Lawrence and Ardeliza, which was such a wonderful
thing for me, and the beginning of a big healing process for her.
It is such a relief to have a spouse in synch with you regarding
what is really important in life (in fact it seems crucial for a
relationship to survive). I felt really close to Lawrence, and feelings
of devotion and caring arose for both of them. What was also wonderful
was that they were practically around the block from us, and in
fact, we can see their house from our vantage point on the hill
where we live. As I began sitting regularly with Lawrence and Ardeliza
on Fridays, their transmissions would take turns pulverizing me
in their intensities. Time after time, I was amazed by how such
ordinary-looking folks could be such a potent point of spiritual
transmission. I envisioned a realizer in every neighborhood in the
world, working in small groups. So far, Greenbrae and Santa Venetia
of Marin county are covered!!

One of the issues hotly debated in 1937, the year of the Flint sit-down strike,
was the strike's legality. Even some historians who viewed the sit-down
as morally just saw it as being against "private property rights under
the law." (Lorena Hickok and Jean Gould, "Walter Reuther,
Labor's Rugged Individualist")
In the eyes of General Motors it was clearly illegal, "striking at the
very heart of the right of the possession of private property." (Sidney
Fine, "Sit Down")
Regarding all other law as subordinate to its sacred right of possession, GM
naturally marshaled all the forces of law and order to enforce court-ordered
back-to-work injunctions.
Workers, who rendered the injunctions unenforceable, had their own
interpretation of the law. GM, not the United Auto Workers' union, was
flouting the law by refusing to obey the Wagner Act granting unions the right
to organize. This was proved when the government-sponsored LaFollette Committee
on Civil Liberties uncovered GM's vast network of company spies and its
huge private arsenal, destroying any pretense of company neutrality.
To the cries that they were breaking the law by seizing private property,
workers had their own arguments. "CIO lawyers placed the
'worker's right to his job,' a concept which had been
recommended for sympathetic consideration by the U.S. Commission on Industrial
Relations in 1915, as the chief argument in favor of the worker sitting at his
machine," writes Edward Levinson in "Labor on the March."
"What more sacred property right is there in the world today?"
asked Homer Martin, UAW president at the time. "This property right
involves the right to support [a worker's] family, feed his children, and
keep starvation away from the door." (Foster Rhea Dulles, "Labor in
Other UAW officials and rank-and-file members also expressed these sentiments.
And they advanced the argument that a job is a human right, and that human
rights are more important than property rights. When their detractors saw a
contradiction between their two lines of reasoning, the union countered that a
job is a human property right.
University of Illinois Law School Dean Leon Green sided with the workers,
calling the sit-down "an instrument of the industrial relation and in no
sense unlawful."
It was not until 1939, when the sit-down fever had subsided as more and more
workers were winning union contracts, that Congress declared the tactic
Still, writers continued to develop legal arguments that a worker has a right
to his or her job. In the 1950s and 1960s, writing on behalf of the
typographical union, Arthur Porter and William Gomberg defended "Job
Property Rights."
Though pressed at the time of the sit-down, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins
refused to characterize the sit-down as illegal. Sam Marcy referred to
Perkins' position years later in his 1984 work "High Tech, Low
As Marcy points out, Perkins "defended the right of the workers to occupy
the plants. She did so not before the occupation, but toward the end of it. It
would be foolish, of course, to take this action as a literal example of what
must be done today. But it is relevant and enlightening as a bare outline and
guide to how the workers can fight today to extend their rights to include the
right to seize and occupy the plants. It is a logical and inevitable phase in
the struggle of the labor movement, as imperative a necessity and as vital to
the existence of the trade union movement as any of the preceding phases in its
These words are so relevant to auto workers today. In ways that Marcy had only
begun to predict, workers in the auto and auto-parts industries continue to be
ravaged by profit-hungry companies. More often than not their livelihoods are
being destroyed with the aid of bankruptcy courts—at Dana, Delphi,
Collins and Aikman, Tower Automotive, and the list goes on.
If Chrysler is sold, who is to say the new owners won't follow suit,
citing the loss of $1.5 billion in 2006.
Yet as this newspaper has often pointed out, when a corporation is in
bankruptcy, it is no longer the owner but the debtor in possession. As the
largest creditors, the auto unions could legally exercise the right to seize
the plants. They would merely be defending their right to their
property—their jobs.
Interestingly, the same 1915 government-sponsored Commission on Industrial
Relations, cited above as at least casually supporting job property rights,
actually called for the abolition of private ownership of the U.S. coal
industry. Influencing this conclusion by the commission, which was set up to
investigate the causes of labor unrest, was the massacre of Colorado coal
miners by John D. Rockefeller's hired guns.
The report recommended turning all of the mines over to the miners to run them
Now would be a good time for auto workers to speak out for their right to take
over the plants. Could they possibly do a worse job than their bosses? Besides,
they would only be defending their legal and human rights.

Yes, you can statically assign them two the two IP addresses you have.
E.g. you can only have one port 80 per IP address being forwarded. So
you will need either a second IP address, or you can do some DNS port
forwarding tricks and stick the second server on port 8080 for example.
Simply set the second server beind a 1:1 NAT using your second IP address.
The problem you will still have is this: If you set an interface to use
a dynamic address as a static address it will not attempt to renew the
lease, and someone else will get that IP address and your ISP will stop
routing it to you. An interface can only request one IP Address
dynamically, that I know of.

7 Habits of Health Wellness Program
We created the 7 Habits of Health to be fun for your employees and easy for you to administer. And the program is short enough duration to maintain employee interest, but long enough for them to make the recommended lifestyle changes and see results.
We piloted the program with Blue Cross of Idaho employees in early 2012; below are just some of our results:
- 203 employees (about one-quarter of our employee population) participated
- 94 percent of participants would recommend the program to a friend or family member
- 70 percent engage in regular physical activity (compared to 55 percent at the beginning of the program)
- 68 percent drink at least 48 ounces of water per day (compared to 43 percent at the beginning of the program)
And here's what employees had to say about the program:
"I've made changes that I never would have given a second thought."
"This has been a great program to give me incentive to make some positive, healthy changes in my life, and to keep me motivated."
Most program materials appear below, for easy downloading and use. The magnets and bookmarks are only available in print and must be requested from your local district office or account manager. We also have the posters pre-printed if you prefer we send these to you instead of you printing them out.
So get your program started today!
Facilitator Guide – gives you everything you need to know to coordinate 7 Habits of Health at your worksite
Emails – are in Word format for easy copying or modification to meet your needs
Newsletters – include a Kick-Off and weekly newsletters that you can attach to emails or print and distribute
Posters – emphasize one healthy habit per week to keep program top of mind for participants
Tracking Sheet – provides a form to record success and acts as an entry into the drawing for winning prizes

So, I have been travelling and, although I have been running, I have not kept to my same schedule and have only had intermittent Internet access.
This past week looked like this:
Mon: on the road by 6am
Tue: on the bus at 6am
Wed: Maga 7.08mi 1:05:57
Thu: Maga 4.01mi 36:40
Fri: Maga Yoga 15min
Sat: Maroua 6.4mi 55:47 Yoga 10min
Sun: Maroua 20km (12.41mi) 1:52:41 Yoga 10min
It felt really great to do a long run this morning and I felt so good afterwards -- not tired at all, which amazed me since it has been weeks since I've run longer than 8 miles. All that rest must have done me some good. One nice thing about the run today is that I got far enough out of the town of Maroua so that people's reactions to me changed. And it felt much more like being back home in Fonta (except in French)--people looked and as we passed each other said, "Bonjour" or "Courage" or "Ca va?". In town, I get more hoots and hollers and "Nasara, nasara" which is Fulfulde (the local language) for "white person".
My pace has gotten much faster since I started travelling and it must be because it is flatter and, in some cases, I've been running on roads rather than just trails. 12.5 miles today at an average of 9 min/mile. Nice.
The human body is a wondrous thing. It's ability to adapt to different environments is really amazing. I'm up in the Far North Province of Cameroon now where it is very, very dry. I would consider this a desert, but they don't -- the "real" desert is farther north closer to Chad. But I have adapted with little problem.
"God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy."
I don't really get the issue so many conservative Christians have with evolution and science in general. I've always considered science to be humanity's quest to figure out how on earth God made such an awesome universe. It's been a few thousand years and we know a lot of things -- more by induction or inference than direct experience -- but I don't think we've even scratched the surface of the wonder God creates. I have a friend who is an astrophysicist and she also doesn't see any contradiction between her work researching black holes and her religious faith.
Today, I was running down the road by Maroua mountain and I had one of those mind-blowing moments of wonder -- I'm running, just like I have for years, just like so many other people all over the world, such an ordinary, ordinary thing to do, but I'm running in Cameroon, in Africa! How awesome is that?
After almost 45 years, God, life, the universe, can still blow my mind.

The 'Parent Trap' star accuses her clothing label partners of fraud, trademark infringement and breach of contract as she plans to expand her 6126 brand into other clothing items.
Lindsay Lohan is seeking over $1 million from southern California-based company, D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries LLC. She files a lawsuit in federal court, accusing her clothing label partners of fraud, trademark infringement and breach of contract.
LiLo signed the deal in 2008, shortly before she was slapped with jail time for her DUI and shoplifting convictions. Now she claims the company failed to pay her $900,000 in guaranteed minimum royalties plus 10% of net sales for her 6126 Collection.
"They owe us a million dollars. We're suing to force them to pay," her civil lawyer Perry C. Wander told the Daily News. According to the attorney, the company tried to find a way out by noting that the actress never took part in the promotional efforts.
"The agreement did not have a morals clause, and Lindsay Lohan had no responsibility to promote the line, so there's no defense for their actions," the lawyer insisted. "They're trying to insert those as a defense, but they weren't part of this deal."
The "Freaky Friday" actress started out her clothing line as a brand for leggings and cashmere leg warmers. The name refers to her idol Marilyn Monroe's birthday, June 1, 1926. Now, the former Disney star plans to expand it into other clothing items.
"Lindsay is very passionate about her fashion design, and she's looking forward to re-launching the line with another partner," the lawyer explained. "She wants to enter into negotiations to license a clothing line and accessories."
"The purpose of this suit is to wrest control of her trademark away from this company that's been selling items overseas and online under the 6126 trademark," he added.

Diane Speight spent a few moments Tuesday afternoon helping to prevent the next generation from getting cancer.
Speight and more than 400 other people in the Gainesville area are doing their part to uncover the causes of cancer and find ways to prevent the disease by participating in the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study-3.
The 30-year study will analyze surveys and blood samples from 300,000 people across the country to help researchers better understand the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer.
The current generation's exposures are different than previous generations', and researchers want to know what role environmental pollutants and overall lifestyle and diet changes may play in the disease.
The study sign-in will continue from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. today in the North Tower of the Northeast Georgia Medical Center. Participants must be between the ages of 30-65 and never have been diagnosed with cancer, not including basal and squamous cell skin cancer.
Anyone who is interested in participating is encouraged to sign in today. Researchers hope to have another 50 people join the study.
Participants provide a waist measurement and a small blood sample and complete a comprehensive health survey and will be asked to commit to a follow-up survey every few years for 20 years.
Speight said that she decided to sign up because she thought participating was an interesting way to help save lives.
"As this information is sorted out and connects, maybe there will be some correlation that reveals itself," Speight said. "We know some causes but it still seems to be such a mystery that we should be able to figure out."
The ACS' two previous cancer prevention studies proved the link between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer and obesity with cancer and other health conditions.
The current study will pay close attention to any potential links between cancer and obesity and other health conditions.
"Obesity is an epidemic," said Rachel Joiner, mission delivery manager with ACS. "We just want to learn more about that. We have a lot of information to back up the movement for a healthier lifestyle."
Many of those who participated Tuesday afternoon work in health care.
Spears Mallis, practice administrator for the Longstreet Cancer Center, said the study is a great opportunity for those who work in the cancer community to work together to help end the disease.
Mallis said his involvement in the study was for both professional and personal reasons. His father is currently undergoing cancer treatment.
"I hope they find ways to better treat and prevent people from getting cancer," Mallis said. "Maybe through healthy lifestyles but to really get out front of the diagnosis because if somebody goes untreated or undetected it can be very bad, but if you catch it early enough you've got a better chance at a long healthy life."
While the participants themselves likely won't benefit from the study, most of the participants expressed their desire to help better the lives of future generations.
"It's a chance to be a part of preventing someone from hearing the word 'cancer' in 30 years when this study is over," Joiner said. "Say you have a 4-year old. By the time he's 34, we're going to know a lot more about cancer and how you can prevent it. This is really for the next generation. Our time is now, it's this generation paying it forward."

Former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has kept a low profile since he was suspended indefinitely by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Williams offered very little Friday at his charity golf tournament in his hometown of Excelsior Springs, Mo., other than to vow, "I will coach again."
In two brief conversations with ESPN.com at the annual Gregg Williams Foundation Tiger Classic, the suspended coach declined to answer most questions, instead offering a lot of "no comments" before saying the day was "all about the kids" who would benefit from the charity tournament.
Williams left the Saints after the 2011-12 season to fill the defensive coordinator position with the St. Louis Rams.
However, Goodell suspended Williams indefinitely on March 21 for his role in running the Saints' bounty program, in which players were paid for hard hits and injuring opposing players from 2009 to 2011.
Williams' status will be reevaluated by the commissioner after the upcoming season.
According to the ESPN story, an unnamed friend said Williams is "just not seeking attention. He does not feel sorry for himself. He feels bad that everybody has had to suffer through this thing."
Rams assistant defensive line coach Clyde Simmons was in Excelsior Springs for the golf event and said he is certain that Williams will coach in the NFL again.
"Absolutely," Simmons said. "He's too good of a coach and a person."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

ppc64-utils bug fix and enhancement update
|Bug Fix Advisory
|Issued on:
|Last updated on:
|Affected Products:
|Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server)
Updated ppc64-utils packages that fix various bugs and add various
enhancements are now available.
ppc64-utils is a collection of utilities for Linux running on 64-bit
PowerPC platforms.
These packages address the following bugs:
* A bug existed within the ppc64-utils packages that caused a conflict with
the powerpc-utils package from IBM. The power-pc-utils package provides
dynamic logical partitioning (DLPAR) support, which is a common
virtualization feature on the Power PC platform. This conflict forced a
user to first remove the ppc61-utils package before installing the
power-pc-utils package. To correct this bug, support for the lsslot and
drmgr commands has been added to the ppc64-utils packages, ensuring there
is no conflict when installing the powerpc-utils package. The lsslot
command provides system configuration data to the user and the drmgr
command is required to perform DLPAR operations. (BZ#512373)
* When attempting to use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to display
the end to end virtual device topology, no data would be shown. The scripts
ls-vscsi, ls-veth and ls-vdev have been added for the HMC to use to
retrieve Virtual Input and Output (VIO) information that is used to
correlate with the output of lsdevinfo to display the end to end virtual
device topology. (BZ#565518)
* Running lsdevinfo on an IBM POWER6 machine with a Virtual Fibre Channel
resulted in incorrect errors and an incorrect device name being displayed.
These updated packages make sure only necessary error messages are printed
and that the correct device name is shown. (BZ#565518)
As well, these updated packages add the following enhancements:
* CLI and CIM support has been added for end to end virtual device mapping.
This additional infrastructure improves the ease of use of virtualization
technology by enabling the end to end virtual device view. (BZ#514813)
* Support for the -R parameter and the uniquetype field have been added to
the HMC. The -R parameter recursively displays the children of the selected
device and the uniquetype field is used by the HMC for filtering.
Users of ppc64-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues and add these enhancements.
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

1 Will you charge:
A Top-up fees across the board maximum (£3,000)
B A flat rate for all courses below £3,000. (If so, what is it)
C Different rates for different courses.(If so, please specify range - ie minimum/maximum)
2 If you are varying fees will they be:
A Lower for Sciences
B Lower for Arts/Humanities/social sciences
C Lower for foundation degrees
D Lower for vocationally-focused degrees
E A combination, please state (areas or specific courses)
3 Are you introducing bursaries?
A Yes
B No
4 How much for?
"There are two different answers, one is whatever is needed. But I suppose we are unlikely to go in excess of £4,000. We haven't yet modelled the number of different levels. We came out in public shortly after the second reading that we will go for a 'three plus one scheme' - we are looking to provide support for three years and give bursaries to one year post-graduate students - restricted to our own graduates. We will provide bursaries which reduce the fee level. It's described as' four for the price of three.'
5 If yes, will they be:
A Targeted at the most needy students
B Targeted at subjects which are short of students
C A mixture, please detail
6 If yes, are they funded
A From central university funds
B From a benefactor, private donations, etc?
C A mixture
"We also have scholarship scheme which is unaffected."
7 Have you employed outside agencies to help you make the decision (market researchers/brand managers)?
A Yes
B No
8 Where will you spend the extra income?
A Better student facilities
B Better academic facilities
C Better academic pay
D Bursaries
E Bumping up research capacity
F Other, please state
"Better student facilities: we intend to improve and extend our learning and teaching facilities and we hope to improve student welfare facilities."
9 Will top-up fees provide enough extra income for the university for the foreseeable future?
A Yes
B No. "God knows, but the likely answer is no, but that's based on the recognition that the university system overall is in deficit and this money won't meet that deficit."
10 How long do you expect the limit on top-up fees to remain at £3,000?
A 1-3 years
B 4-6 years
C 7-10 years
D Over 10 years
"It depends obviously on whether we get a Labour or Conservative government - and if the Labour government will change its mind."
11 Do you think top-up fees will put less well-off students off going to university?
A Yes
B No. "Assuming that all universities introduce bursary schemes the government has reasonable provisions for state funding for students. I'm assuming no."
12 How do you think Offa will affect your attempts to widen participation?
A Help
B Hinder
C Have no effect
D Undecided, please state
"At the moment I am undecided because until the person running Offa is appointed and all the details are published, we do not have enough information to answer that question clearly."

As naff as it sounds, I want to live an ethical, healthy, green life. I really do. And I'm happy to spend more if it means fewer emissions, an end to industrial accidents and saving endangered species. But the world is a confusing place for consumers and nowhere more so than in the supermarket aisles.
The shelves are overflowing with products carrying faux certifications and gimmicky logos guaranteeing the things we buy are all-natural, eco-friendly, biodegradable, organically certified – the list goes on.
Then, something of a breakthrough last week. Health ministers approved a new star rating system for food nutrition. The system, though initially voluntary, will rate foods from half-a-star to five stars based on their nutritional value.
Choice chief executive
If it's not too much trouble, I'd very much like experts and governments to turn their attention to devising a similar star-rating system for 'greenness'. Toilet paper is a particular challenge. I spend a lot of time staring up at shelves of the stuff in the supermarket, wondering not only which brand has the best value per ply but which minimises my carbon footprint.
Does buying the packet with a big green frog on the front mean I'm helping to save the rainforests? Logic says to buy recycled paper, but should it be post-consumer or pre-consumer? And which certification system do I trust? If it has a picture of a tree or official looking logo, it must be good, right? The short answer is, I have no idea and I suspect most people don't.
According to an article by
Green-washing away goodwill
With all this white noise, I wonder if consumers will become so fatigued that all the goodwill built up toward saving the planet will simply dissipate. Of course, the idea of "green-washing" has been around for a while. The term was coined by US environmentalist
He was irked by the emergence of a trend whereby hoteliers placed cards in rooms asking guests to reuse their towels in the interests of the environment. Westerveld suspected that, as guests sacrificed a dry towel, the hotels were making no effort to reduce energy consumption. More likely, they were saving money on the laundry bills and banking the kudos associated with being responsible corporate citizens.
Now it's just a hunch, but I think companies are still pulling the green wool over our eyes.
Consider one airline's approach to on-board recycling. As I was served a snack on a recent trip from Melbourne to Canberra, the attendant handed me a greyish coloured paper bag. Though it looked like a vomit bag, I was apparently supposed to use this item to assist the flight attendants with their recycling efforts.
Instructions on the bag said I should hand all recyclable cups, cans and bottles and lids to the cabin crew while other items should be placed in the paper bag.
Now, I'm no whiz at the financial and environmental costs of manufacturing paper bags, but it strikes me that quite a bit of energy would have to go into producing, packaging and transporting these bags so I can separate my own rubbish on board.
I'm happy to help reduce the workload of frazzled stewards, if that's in fact what is needed. But if that's the case, I want the truth. I also want to know something more about a multinational company's "green" credentials than this. What they were asking me to do is bag up rubbish so it can be put in the rubbish. It's like putting a muesli bar wrapper in a paper bag before putting it in the bin at home.
As I looked around at other passengers, they also appeared puzzled. Across the aisle I see one guy, after reading and rereading the instructions, give up and stuff all of his rubbish in the bag. Fatigue got him.

I shall attend to give evidence at the assize with Mr. Edwards.
The trial came on at the Court of assize about six weeks ago.
If ignorance would look upon its own degradation, let it spend a few hours in an assize court.
Nearly every assize is marked by a charge of this character.
It weigheth thirteen pounds, with their assize, being only weighed by the gesse of the hands it seemeth much heavier.'
Into the details of the "assize of Arms" it is unnecessary here to enter.
Just send me before the assize Court, so that I may tell the judge a few tales that will make them laugh.
The names of the jurymen who were to be called on to serve at the assize had been published.
The assize sermons of Charles I.'s reign were frequently seasoned with such animadversions.
After the dissolution it was used as the assize Court, and subsequently as a prison.
"session of a law court," c.1300 (attested from mid-12c. in Anglo-Latin), from Old French assise "session, sitting of a court" (12c.), properly fem. past participle of asseoir "to cause to sit," from Latin assidere (see assess). Originally "all legal proceedings of the nature of inquests or recognitions;" hence sessions held periodically in each county of England to administer civil and criminal justice.

REPORT: Yasser Arafat Died After Being Poisoned
Was Yasser Arafat murdered?
Al-Jazeera has apparently published a report showing Swiss scientists have found evidence the Palestinian leader was poisoned back in 2004.
The first forensic tests on remains from his exhumed corpse have reportedly shown unexpectedly high levels of radioactive polonium-210, suggesting the Palestinian leader could have been poisoned.
Arafat died in 2004 four weeks after he first fell ill shortly after eating dinner, and was almost certainly murdered by poisoning.

Living Colour did what many other bands only dream of, not only achieving success despite deeply entrenched barriers, but also finding a sound that is both entirely their own and hugely influential.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of their debut album, "Vivid," which they'll be performing in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, along with many of their new songs. Guitarist Vernon Reid talked with The Tribune about that album's lasting influence, the band's place in rock and roll history, and the current challenges and success they face.
This concert is being billed as a 25th anniversary show for your album "Vivid." Where does that album fit in your life personally and musically? How has it affected you and the rock and roll world?

by Brent Aucion from John Pipers Desiring God - The Frontlines of the Pro-Life Movement How should Christians respond to these attacks on crisis pregnancy centers?First, Christians should see crisis pregnancy centers as arms of the church fighting for the oppressed, much like the anti-slavery organizations of Antebellum America.

Mobile Home Parks Disappear Amid Real Estate Boom
"The 28-acre site northwest of Fort Lauderdale will be bulldozed and redeveloped as a community of town houses and apartments. That will mean a property tax bonanza for the municipality and more disposable income spent at local businesses â€" but no affordable housing for people of modest means. It's a familiar Florida story, one with a painful twist...For though state law assures homeowners of financial assistance if the land their mobile homes sit on is sold out from underneath them...the payment is often not nearly enough to cover moving costs. Moreover, even if homeowners...have the means, they might not find another mobile home park in the vicinity that will take them."

Structural Adjustments And Their Effects: Is There A Way Out For Africa?
The IMF and World Bank have over the years gained a stronghold in African economic policies. This is mainly due to the borrowing and lending relationship between the continent and these sister organizations. This paper seeks to address the negative effects that the IMF imposed Structural Adjustment policies have on the struggling economies of African countries and propose a solution to this problem. The paper also seeks to explore possible alternatives to taking IMF, World Bank loans and gives examples of countries who have explored such options successfully.

Ever since I first learned to program computers in the early 80's I've wondered how valid it is to call a programming language a 'language'. Sure, they're called "languages", so that should give me a hint. They're pretty capable for transmitting information to computers and they purposely use some natural language constructions, ie: if {situation} then {take an action}. But how close to a natural language are they and what kind of nuance and emotion can we keep in translation? With that in mind here's an attempt to translate some familiar English into a psudeocode computer language and see how it holds up.
But First: I know a lot of my readers are not programmers, and I know that you're seriously considering skipping the rest of this article, but I encourage you to keep reading. Even though I use programming framework, it's essentially about human communication.
conception = getCurrentYear() – (4 * 20) + 7;fathers = liberty();fathers.men = men;continent += fathers;
function liberty(){return new Nation();
Read on for the answer…
Yes, it is indeed the Opening of the Gettysberg address. A bit clumsy though. I couldn't figure out how to say "dedicated to the proposition that…" Computers don't really do dedication. Or rather they don't do anything else.
Also it seems that programing languages pretty much only have the present tense.
Okay, that didn't go so well, but let's try something different:
man.part=new Array();
That is from Shakespeare's As You Like It Act 2, scene 7.
This one is pretty decent. No iambic pentameter, but I think it comes across almost elegantly with little meaning lost. And a lot of programming is short lines and no initial capitals, which are also reserved for poetry. Let's try another one.
then.times = ["best","worst"];then.age = ["wisdom","foolishness"];then.epoch = ["belief","incredulity"];then.season = ["Light","Darkness"];then.spring = "hope";then.winter = "despair";then.us.before = [MAXINT, 0];then.us.all = [heaven, !heaven];then = now;
That's A Tale of Two Cities, for you fans of not reading Dickens. One thing that becomes clear is that it's rare to get sentence to sentence (or sentence to line) parity with English. Careful readers will notice that I cut this quote short. The whole "…that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only," part seemed impenetrable in any language I know. (Even English. Sorry Charley.) And there's the problem of doing gray area comparisons ("mostly" "generally" "somewhat", etc) that is hard to address.
That one didn't go well either.
An oldie but a goodie…
function god(){firstDay.heaven = new Object();firstDay.earth = null;firstDay.light = true;if (firstDay.light==true){firstDay.good=true;}firstDay.day = firstDay.light.split("light");firstDay.night = firstDay.light.split("darkness");return firstDay;}
(Genesis 1:1, King James version for those playing along.) It gets the base meaning across, but I totally skipped "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" part. Verbs are hard. I thought about incrementing a pointer across an array called faceOfTheWaters[] but that seemed like a lot of work for "moved across", not to mention that it could easily be confused with "moving" or "incrementing" or even "sorting". Not a lot of nuance. Moving on…
gregor.dreams = troubled.gregor.awake = true;gregor.location = bed.gregor.shape = vermin;gregor.back = armor;gregor.head = lift();function lift(){brown_belly.visible=true;return brown_belly;}
Who'd of guess I'd pull out Kafka's Metamorphosis? Well there it is. Again, it doesn't really lend its self well. Descriptions (declarations) are dull and repetitive if you only have a tiny handful of verbs, most of them for numbers. This one points out one of the biggest problems with translating programming into English. A programing language is so limited that 95% of the meaning of these passages comes from the English used, not from the programing. It's a good thing languages excel at adding words and definitions. (If someone wants to translate these into ASM, they are welcome in comments.)
And one last one:
sun=galaxy.spiralArm.west.unfashionableEnd.sun;sun.color=yellow;sun.regard=fase;planet=sun.planet;planet.orbit = 98000000;planet.color = (blue+green)/2;planet.lifeForm = ape+1;planet.lifeForm.primitive=true;planet.lifeForm.likes.push(digitalWatches);
Comedy… It's hard, even under the best of circumstances. But programming with wit, irony, parody and social commentary is beyond even the best programmers I know. This example also points out the strength of computer languages to organize complicated data, but its reluctance to do anything human with them.
I think that's more than enough examples, lets wrap it up.
Programming languages have many of the components of human language, which should be no surprise, we invented 'em. But they are extremely limited in their ability to express the things we easily do with natural language. And even this wasn't a fair test since virtually all of the information in these code samples is from the English meaning of the variables. If they were changed to a,b,c and foo, they would be completely cryptic. The examples could have been extended to the point where they could graphically illustrate the complex concepts, but it would have added hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of lines, at which point it's not terribly readable.
I wonder if there would be any benefit from bringing computer languages more into line with natural language? How would programming or computer use in general change if we had more adjectives and more tenses? What if our computer languages had a rich vocabulary of tens of thousands of words rather than just a few dozen* and what would we do with them?
Thoughts? Better translations? Feel free to comment.
* Yes, most computer languages can be extended to add more words to them, but you can do the same with English if you buy, say, a medical dictionary. I'm speaking specifically of extending the core language.**
** And no I'm not talking about BASIC et al. Though it's creation focused on using more English words than other languages, it's still constrained by the same operators and structures as other languages, regardless of what they're called.

Harvard Business Review, June 1, 2012
To understand the impact top managers have on ethics and honesty, we looked at the data we'd collected from 5,268 leaders in five different organizations. The data identified each leader by level (e.g., top management, middle management, lower level management). The graph below shows the average of all leaders, along with the highest- and the lowest-rated organizations. In all three organizations, the rating decreases at every level as you move down the management chain.
These data appear to be very consistent with our global controller's experience. What's more, they are consistent with all of our data. Generally speaking, in our long years of collecting 360 responses, we have found the top managers in an organization create a ceiling — that is, leaders the next level down tend to be rated lower than their managers on every leadership dimension — and that includes their honesty and integrity. In other words, levels of honesty are set at the top and can only go downhill from there...

I had a pair of Lowther Medallions which I sold, but I really miss the clarity and transparency of the midrange and would like to get something similar. I am considering the Hornshoppe (Fostex FE 126e), Lowther Alerion (DX55), and Decware DNA Horn (Tang Bang W5-1880). Does the Hornshoppe or DNA Horn have a similiar clarity, presence, and transparency of the Lowther? My room is 11 x 14. Thanks.
Edits: 07/16/11Follow Ups:
I just ordered a pair of Ed's Heil Horns. I will be pairing it with a pair of Transcendent Beasts, Ed's Truth Pre and an EMM Labs XDS1.
I thought the Beasts would be way too much amp for the speakers but Ed assured me that the sound will be absoultely incredible. In fact, he said he will be purchasing a pair of Beasts to use with his own speakers.
As an aside, I have the XDS1 in my small system consisting of a Cary CAD 300SEI LX20 and Nola Boxers and it sounds about as close to vinyl as I've heard playing SACDs.
I have heard the Horns (not the Heil version) be driven by the Beasts and Truth. You will be totally blown away. The Horns sound just so effortless with the Beasts.
I have the Transcendent T16 driving my Horns, but I believe the Beast make them sound even more effortless and powerful sounding.
In addition to their sonic attributes, is that you have a trial period to try them in your room, your system. If you don't like them, send them back, and you're only out the shipping. And as Capt. Z said, they are even better with the new 126 EN driver.
I haven't heard your other choices (although I'd love to), nor have I heard the latest incantation of the Horn Shoppe Horn, which uses the Heil air motion transformer up top. The "little single driver that could" seems to be evolving into a two-way. Initial reports are glowing, but the Luddite in me resists change. Especially when one of my amps, the First Watt F1J, doesn't like crossovers. The single driver version is still available, but is now their budget, or starter speaker.
Good luck in your search.
I have the Horn with the latest Heil drivers. It has all the clarity, extension (high), imaging, tremendous transient and speed. They are also very efficient, a couple of watts are all you need.
Other speakers that I have: LS3/5a's, Spendor SP-100, Snell K's, Ohm's Walsh, Martin Logan ESL. The Horn Heil bested them all except in the bass department.
If you decide on the Alerions, upgrade to DX 65. I had the DX 55s in my
Alerion for about 2 years. Jon Ver Halen from Lowther America installed DX 65s in my Alerions last Fall. The sound is much improved over an already good speaker.
I've owned several lowther + many Fostex speakers. Most Fostex designs will give you great bang for $, but they won't compete with lowthers. I had the Alerions with both DX55 and C45 and, althought they are very good considering size, most 8in lowthers are way more resolving than the smaller ones.
You could search for the lowther Alfredo, a small design that apparently is superb even with lower line 8 in lowthers.I'm hoping to build a pair for myself eventully, but am currently building another pair of All Fun Horns (With DX-4, my current fave).
I only have heard the Hornshoppe Horns out of these 3 speaker mentioned, and I own the Hornshoppe Horns with the new 126 en driver, whic is even better then the 126e driver.
The Hornshoppe Horns have been a great revelation to me.
I love them especially with vinyl.
These are very fun loving speakers.
I haven't heard the Decware/TB, but have compared the Lowther PM-6a with the Fostex 126e. The 126e is a remarkable driver, especially considering the cost, but it is not even in the same 'ballpark' as the Lowther with respect to upper bass, mids and highs. That said, if you like the 'full range' sound, a 126e based speaker can be the foundation of a fine music system at relatively low cost. Compared to most 'average' efficiency speakers, the 126e sounds far more detailed and dynamic. However, if you have a highly resolving signal source and amplifier, the Lowther is well worth the cost (IMO).
I'd love to compare those three speakers in the same room. Interesting choices. What amp are you using?
I am using an ASL Orchid 2A3 integrated amp.
The only time I auditioned a pair of Ed-Horns they were powered by a good 2a3 homebrew amp, and I readily understood what the fuss was about. the horns, with 2A3 I can vouch for, very very smooth, dynamic, great combo, my vote goes with Hornshoppe for a start, and especially if you have vinyl.
I've been amazed how good the Hornshoppe Horns can sound (I use a 2.5 watt Music Reference EM7 amp to drive them). I just bought the Heil upgrade from Ed and will get the system set up next week. Happy to post my impressions. Not an unimportant consideration is that Ed Schilling is as devoted to customer satisfaction as anyone else I've had the pleasure to deal with.

The Incredible Years: Basic Parent Training Program
The Incredible Years is a series of three separate, multifaceted and developmentally based curricula for parents, teachers, and children. The series is designed to promote emotional and social competence, and to prevent, reduce, and treat behavior and emotional problems in young children. The parent, teacher, and child programs can be used separately or in combination; there are treatment versions (advanced) of the parent and child programs, as well as prevention versions for high-risk populations. The Parent program has four options based according to age (0-3; 3-6; 6-12; 4-12 Advanced). The Child training program focuses on social, academic, and emotional skills competencies, and can be taught in classroom, small group therapy, or other type of sessions. The programs offer parent handbooks and handouts to follow, video clips, extensive support materials, etc.
Love and Logic: Early Childhood and School-Ag Parenting Curricula
Love and Logic is a 5-session video-based parenting curriculum focused on teaching parents to use skills of empathy, respect, logic, and limits with their children. The program addresses topics that include handling misbehavior, clear communication skills, avoiding power struggles, setting and enforcing limits, and using logic and consequences. The program offers parents a parent handbook to follow, sample video clips of parenting strategies, and sessions typically last 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
Nurturing Parenting Program
Nurturing Parenting programs involve a series of programs designed specifically for use in reducing child abuse and neglect or risks for such behavior. The programs are primarily designed for high-risk families and families experiencing child abuse and neglect or in the child welfare system. The programs involve parents and children in extended, in-depth learning sessions designed to help them progress sequentially in their knowledge and behavior so as to reduce abuse or neglect and also increase empathy and nurturing behavior. There are primary and intervention versions of the program(s). There are 12 ―evidence-based‖ models of the programs that are adapted to the differences in populations being served (age of child, culture, group context, etc.). The programs may be offered in treatment settings, community settings, group or home-based settings, etc. The program offers extensive support materials.
Parents Forever
Parents Forever offers education and resources for married parents going through divorce and never married families going through separation. Divorce and separation often brings change to every aspect of a family's life, both for the parents and the children involved. Parents Forever provides parents with formal training programs and easy-to-use materials that help them navigate the emotional, financial, legal and communication changes that accompany divorce/separation so that they can effectively help their family transition. This program helps parents understand the impact of divorce on their children and provides them with tools to help their children.
Positive Parenting Program
Positive Parenting Program is a multi-level parenting and family support strategy that aims to prevent severe emotional, behavioral and developmental problems in children by enhancing the knowledge, skills, and confidence of parents. The Triple P program incorporates five levels of intervention of increasing strength for parents of children from birth to age 12. This tiered multi-level strategy recognizes that parents have differing needs and desires regarding the type, intensity and mode of assistance they may require. The program targets five different developmental periods from infancy to adolescence. Within each developmental period the reach of the intervention can vary from being very broad (targeting an entire population) to quite narrow (targeting only high-risk children). Levels range from informational material (Level 1) to an 8-session group (Level 4) using videos and parenting skills. The program offers parent handbooks to follow, videos of parenting issues and strategies, and sessions vary in time based on the course level.

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

The most genteel Twenty20 tournament in the world came to Lord's to continue the launch of the Blast. Seldom have there been so many ties worn at a T20 fixture since the old pavilion was just about full; seldom has there been such a paucity of dancing girls; instead there were brightly-clad drummer boys in front of the Edrich Stand.
There were some pyrotechnics on and off the field. After every wicket and every boundary – the most critical ones were struck by Mark Pettini and Ravi Bopara as they sped Essex to victory by eight wickets – there was a blast of fire, which warmed those sitting in the Tavern Stand, an unnecessary bonus on one of the warmest days of the year. The names and numbers on the scoreboard were different shades of pink since Middlesex are transformed into the Panthers in this form of the game.
But by modern standards the gimmicks were restrained. It was a decorous occasion and a happy one without being an unqualified success. The notion of a double-header – Middlesex would play Sussex later in the day – was triggered by commercial gurus rather than cricketing ones. The initial hope of the ECB and Sky for they, rather than Middlesex, were the originators of this idea, was that Lord's would be close to full, albeit on FA Cup final day, albeit in mid-May before this year's T20 has been firmly established in the minds of the cricketing public. Lord's was almost half-full, a fair turn-out, but one below budget.
From a cricketing perspective Middlesex were potentially handicapping themselves by having to play two games in a day, unlike their opponents. It may well be that this brainwave ultimately obstructs Middlesex's progress.
The first match produced a few spectacular moments. The first over was delivered by Monty Panesar, who varied his run-up rather than his deliveries; the first wicket was taken by Oliver Newby, who constantly seems to be on loan from Lancashire. Dawid Malan hit a silky, unbeaten 86 but was often at the wrong end when Middlesex sought to run amok in their closing overs.
Eoin Morgan, England's captain on Tuesday against Sri Lanka, struck four crisp sixes while hitting a fine 77 from 43 balls and there was more good news for the national team since some of Essex's most effective bowling came from Bopara. He bowled his variety of seamers off four paces. It was hard to decide whether he was trying to disconcert the batsmen or to ensure that Essex rattled through their overs fast enough to avoid any penalty.
On Friday night at Hove Surrey were penalised six runs for their slow over-rate, which meant that Sussex's target was reduced from 22 to 16 in the last over, not enough runs for Jade Dernbach to defend. A fly on the wall in the Surrey dressing room might be worth interrogating after that.
Here, Essex romped to victory without any controversy on a lovely batting pitch thanks to an explosive innings of 95 from 54 balls by Pettini, who leads Essex in this competition. Pettini overshadowed his opening partner, Alastair Cook, who was caught at midwicket off Middlesex's best bowler, the left-arm spinner, Ravi Patel, for 22.
After a brief appearance from the colourful Kiwi, Jesse Ryder, Bopara joined forces with his captain in a decisive 69-run partnership. At the end Bopara made a habit of flicking good-length deliveries from James Harris into the Grandstand, which meant that Essex won with seven balls to spare.
This was an emphatic defeat for Middlesex and a tricky start for their Australian overseas T20 specialist, Dan Christian, who, on his first appearance at Lord's, could only deliver a golden duck, four overthrows and three expensive overs. Still, you are only as good as your last game and Middlesex had another one coming up in just over an hour.

In an effort to stay on the cutting edge of technology and deliver more of what Miami's alumni want, the Miami University Alumni Association has partnered with students from Miami's Mobile Learning Center to enhance the experience of its regional networking events.
Since the introduction of 5-Minute Networking events over the past few years, which have taken place in select regional locations including Chicago, Atlanta, and at the Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester, Ohio, demand has grown nationally for similar events.
"These events put Miamians in touch with other Miamians from their regions, and they serve a variety of purposes," said Erin Taute '08, assistant director of alumni relations. "You might be new to the area, looking for a career transition or simply wanting to socialize with other Miamians – the events have something for everyone."
With the introduction of Miami LIVE! Speed Networking events, the MUAA has built upon and enhanced this concept so it works more seamlessly and dramatically increases the number of Miamians each alum is able to engage. Instead of meeting alumni one-on-one, as in past events, alumni will now rotate through small groups, allowing them to meet more than twice the number of attendees they could encounter in the previous format.
This is aided through the development of an iPad application, with assistance from students in Miami's Mobile Learning Center, under the direction of associate professor of computer science and software engineering Gerald Gannod. This software allows the event moderator to register attendees as they arrive, and seamlessly routs them from one group to another, so they're continually meeting new people throughout the evening.
These students will be present, at the culmination of this capstone project, when one of the pilot events is hosted April 21 in Chicago. The inaugural event takes place April 11 in Atlanta and future events are being scheduled for Columbus, Cleveland, and Washington, D.C.
Alumni who are interested in a Miami LIVE! Speed Networking events can learn more at www.MiamiAlum.org/Networking.

In Kentucky, Elaine Chao Endures Racist Attacks From Liberals
One can hardly turn on cable news without hearing someone say that Republicans are racists trying to roll back the clock on civil rights. Having a policy disagreement with President Obama, many of his partisan supporters argue, is nothing more than thinly veiled racism.
But Democrats who imagine racist slights and "dog whistles" at every turn would be wise to look at the vicious anti-Asian bigotry on display in Kentucky, which is being fomented by supporters of their so-called progressive party.
Elaine Chao, who came to America from Taiwan at the age of 8, is a successful businesswoman and a graduate of Harvard Business School. She has also served our country in numerous positions, most recently as Secretary of Labor during the George W. Bush administration. She also served for a time as director of the Peace Corps. Having worked with Elaine during my time in the White House, I can say you will not find a more principled, honest and decent individual.
Except that there's one problem: Elaine Chao is married to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. And some Democrats are so desperate to hold on to power that they will resort to anything—including racist attacks—to demean and belittle their political enemies.
This past weekend, as Senator McConnell spoke to supporters at the Fancy Farm event in Kentucky, he sought to confront the "War on Women" rhetoric of his Democratic opponent, Alison Lundergan Grimes, by noting his wife's accomplishments. "And the biggest asset I have by far is the only Kentucky woman who served in a president's cabinet, my wife, Elaine Chao," he said toapplause from the crowd.
It didn't take long for Kathy Groob, the founder of the pro-Democrat PAC Elect Women, to start mocking Chao's heritage on Twitter. "She's not from KY…She is Asian and [President George W.] Bush openly touted that," Groob said. In other tweets, Groob referred to Chao as McConnell's "Chinese wife," and said McConnell is "wedded to free trade in China."
She later deleted her offensive tweets and deactivated her Twitter account. National and Kentucky Democrats, to their credit, quickly denounced her remarks.

Finally, a consumers association is doing something about substandard mattresses being sold in Beijing, when it submitted different brands and materials for testing and called on mattress manufacturers and authorities to do something about it.
Beijing Consumers Association sought the help of the National Center for Quality Supervision and Inspection of Furniture and Indoor Environment to do the tests, where about 50 mattress products failed to live up to the standards. Half of the mattresses easily had color fading and the fabric used also had questionable durability and toxic levels.
These mattresses had high formaldehyde content, an chemical that has been attributed to cancer.
Authorities are going to do a thorough investigation upon Beijing Consumer Association's recommendation.
Last year, some mattress shoppers have actually complained about new mattress smell in one giant mattress chain in the city. And one lawyer has a suggestion for these manufacturers and authorities, "The mattress makers involved should compensate customers, and commerce authorities should fine them. More serious penalties, such as suspending or revoking their business licenses, could be used if producers continue to make substandard goods."
