What would you like to do?
If you owe back child support payments will the state take your 401k when you cash-out?
If you owe child support but are paying reerages will they take my state and federal tax returns?
This could be possible. The Department of Treasury's Financial Management Service (FMS), which issues IRS tax refunds, has been authorized by Congress to conduct the Treasury …Offset Program. Through this program, your refund or overpayment may be reduced by FMS and offset to pay any past due child support, Federal agency non tax debts, or state income tax obligations. Go to www.irs.gov and use the search box for Topic 203 - Failure to Pay Child Support, Federal Non Tax and State Income Tax Obligations http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203.html For additional information, FMS can be reached at 800-304-3107. SEE RELATED LINKS BELOW
If you are owed back child support how long does it take to getit?
Sadly, many custodial parents will never ever see their back support despite all the efforts by the prosecutors office, etc. Unfortunately some non custodial parents get good …at dodging their responsibilities by changing their appearance, name, and job hopping pretty much dropping off the face of the earth. Dont give up hope. Ive been dealing with this stuff for 14 years and heres some tips If you have even the slightest bit of information on the noncustodial parent, report it immediately. I found the loser on a Myspace page and I reported it. Printed up the page and sent it to the prosecutors office. They found him through that little piece of information and garnished his wages until he quit his job and moves elsewhere. but I found him again you can try tax refund intercept, check with the prosecutors office in the county that your case resides and see if there is an order in place. Even if there isnt, they can check and see if hes filed taxes and is getting a refund. Leans can be put on houses and cars too. I sure hope you see your back support, it can be a frustrating process. Keep trying.
Can the state take your vehicle for back child support?
The usual procedure is for the state to file a lien against the vehicle which would keep the owner from registering and/or renewing a registration to obtain legal licensing. I…n the majority of states a lien is not necessary to prevent the non custodial parent from legally licensing his or her vehicle.
Can you get a passport if you owe back child support?
NO! I helped a friend through this very same process. The only way he was able to get the passport was to pay back child support. You will need to resolve this issue before th…ey will issue your passport
If you owe back child support and you claim your other chid will the IRS take your taxes?
When you are in the refund offset program through the FMS yes this will happen and you will be notified when it does happen.
Can a 401k be garnished for back child support?
No Benefits and refunds payable by pension or retirement funds are exempt and not subject to deduction orders. 735 ILCS 5/12-804. See also the exemptions listed in the section… below for non-wage garnishments. 735 ILCS 5/12-1006 exempts a debtor's interest in pensions, annuities, benefits, distributions, refunds of contributions or other payments under certain retirement plans. Compare to 735 ILCS 5/12-704 which exempts from garnishment benefits and refunds payable by pension or retirement funds and any assets of employees held by such funds. Cf. MacKey v. Lanier Collections Agency, 486 U.S. 825 (1988).
If you owe back taxes will the IRS take your child support payment coming to you from your ex?
Yes they can take your check. not only from the IRS but your unemploymen or any other money;s coming to you from any source.
Can you move out of state if you owe back child support?
Not if you're more than $5000 in arrears.
How can you get your back payment in child support?
Retroactive support (support for a period prior to the entry of an order for support) is generally awarded or denied when the original support order is entered. If you mean un…paid, past-due support, contact your State's child support agency. Be patient but persistent. Good luck!
Can Texas child support take your 401k earnings when you cash out?
If the court ordered support is in arrearage, all assets of the obligated parent are subject to seizure.
Is back child support owed if you paid child support?
This assumes that you're asking about retroactive support (support due for a period prior to the entry of the first order), not unpaid support that accrued as the result of an… order. Retroactive support is typically awarded (or not) at the entry of the original order for ongoing support. At that time, the court should give the obligor credit for voluntary support furnished during the period covered by the retroactive support award.
Can you leave the state when you owe child support?
Not if you're more than $5000 behind. Why are you in arrears? see links
Can the state of California take your inheritance from another state if you owe back child support?
yes, even if you never knew you had a child.
How can you get back child support owed to your child?
Contact your State's child support agency for an appointment. Bring all the paper with you - court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
If no back child support is owed will the IRS still take out child support from tax returns?
Errors are frequent. see links
Can the state of new york take your inheritance if you owe back child support?
Can you leave the United States and return if you owe back child support?
If the non custodial parent owes more then $2,500 in arrears he or she will not be able to obtain a passport. If the non custodial parent already has a valid passport they w…ill not be denied the right to leave the country but may encounter problems on their reentry if a warrant has been issued.

I found no way to upload images into the text area.
Unlike FCKEditor, not upload tab is available in the browser unless the commercial CKfinder is available.
I installed IMCE, but it only looks at the server, not at the user's desktop.
Thanks for help

Comment #3choofins CreditAttribution: choofins commented
You have to hit Browse Server, then use the upload tool provided inside the IMCE window. Once you have selected the appropriate image, hit the "send to ckeditor".
Comment #7zdean CreditAttribution: zdean commented
|I found a solution
|» Get an image upload function in CKeditor (True: it does not readily have it!)
I agree that this feature is needed. You could use one of the supported systems for an "editor" type role where you only need to train a small number of users. But if you want to allow a broader user base to be able to upload images from their desktops into their content types (for example, blog entries), then the current system is far too complicated to use.
You should simply be able to click a button, a desktop browser window opens, select an image, it gets inserted into the text area.

Comment #10Danny_Joris CreditAttribution: Danny_Joris commented
jvielle : I don't see the 'hack' in your comment #5. That's how imce is suppost to work. I agree that this isn't the easiest way. It's kinda confusing for some of my clients. (2 popup windows that don't look alike just to get an image in your text) . It would be a great improvement if that image button in CKeditor would directly open the IMCE page. This is also a question to the maintainer of this module: is it possible to have a functionality that opens the imce window directly when clicking the image button in ckeditor?
I am still looking for a one button solution as well. This would need to work with imagecache , so huge photo's would be automatically re-sized to a smaller size. Actually I found this module that does this, but for me it goes one step too far in simplicity. :) It's http://drupal.org/project/dragndrop_uploads . You drag the image from the desktop into your textarea and it resizes automatically with imagecache. Very cool, but just a single button to browse trough the desktop would be perfect.
Comment #12capellic CreditAttribution: capellic commented
I'm going to ditto the need for a simple upload and management tool. I used to use the quick upload feature in FCKEditor. I'm not opposed to IMCE, but it needs an UX overhaul.
Comment #13capellic CreditAttribution: capellic commented
I'm not opposed to IMCE, but it needs an UX overhaul.
I bit the bullet and experimented with the IMCE editor and the good news is that you can theme it. I spent a little time making CSS overrides including hiding the log and some of the stat stuff that just adds visual noise IMHO. I also copied the imce-content.tpl.php file into my theme directory and made some hard style overrides because CSS wasn't getting it done.
BEWARE: Do NOT remove any DIVs or change IDs. There's a lot of jQuery in this module and it's looking for objects. If you remove them, you will get some odd behavior.
Comment #14Danny_Joris CreditAttribution: Danny_Joris commented
I themed imce for the first time as well a few days ago. I made it look more like ckeditor because 1) imce is ugly. 2) to give my editor a feel of consistency. To let him feel that imce is actually the same as ckeditor. I only used css and I moved an image file (sprites.png) from ckeditor karma theme to my admin theme. The css might look a bit raw or tweaky sometimes.
Those imce handle bars are only 1px. It's almost impossible to grab them. :/ I made them somewhat thicker.

Comment #20jcisio CreditAttribution: jcisio commented
That would be great, @mephir. I'd tried to write a plugin for CKEditor from the _example folder, but it was too complicated for me, and not much docs for the 3.x version now. However I'm willing to test it ;)
Comment #21mephir CreditAttribution: mephir commented
Attached plugin, for install:
- extract archice to ckeditor/plugins, next to drupalbreaks etc...
- edit ckeditor.config.js and add lines below(next to media upload):
config.extraPlugins += (config.extraPlugins ? ',imce' : 'imce' ); CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal('imce', Drupal.settings.ckeditor.module_path + '/plugins/imce/');
- add button IMCE into toolbar, also in ckeditor.config.js
- refresh page with editor and enjoy
This plugin isn't part of ckeditor module, so if you have some problems with it please mail me or write in this issue. If someone have better idea for icon i'm open for any suggestion, i'm not graphic designer. Also this think concern about adding no-images files. Now plugin creates url to this file. Maybe someone have better proposition for it. Popup window height and width depends on ckeditor filebrowsers size.

Version without unnecessary code, sorry i forgot about cleanup.
Comment #23jcisio CreditAttribution: jcisio commented
|» Needs work
Thanks, mephir. Just test on Firefox 3.6 and Safari 4.0, works great. About the icon, at the moment I think we can just use the Image icon (and hide the image button, as it is functional duplicate). Or there is a work on progress at http://drupal.org/node/606490 about Drupal icons and we can take one (it should be GPL'ed).
For content types different than images, I think by now it could simply ignore urls that are not ended with .jpg/png/gif etc. Images are far more frequently used than flashes or files, and simple image upload/insert has more sense (and so is the title of this issue ;-). I'm OK for the current behavior (link to files).
A little more about the output: I think the default syntax in CKEditor is
style="width:...px;height:...px;" instead of the usage of width/height properties. The alt should be optional in the module settings, as this property can be use for image description (not display if empty) by other image-enhanced modules like lightbox-enabled, auto caption...
Thank you again for this plugin. I can change all things mentioned above in the imce/plugin.js file ;-)

Comment #36okdnet CreditAttribution: okdnet commented
I too couldn't get IMCE working with CKEditor (the "missing button"). I started looking for answers here and experienced much confusion like others. I finally figured out where I was having a problem. I had installed WYSIWYG and the CKEditor LIBRARY, but NOT the CKEditor module. That's where the confusion starts, because CKEditor WORKS at that point.
I didn't even know I was missing the module (and corresponding settings). I'm certain others have done the same. It wasn't until I started to try and get IMCE working, and reading posts here telling me to change settings that I couldn't even get to that I figured it out. I downloaded and installed the CKEditor module, completed the profile settings, and then figured out what others were talking about with the counter-intuitive ImageButton>> Browse Server>>Upload Button workflow.
Perhaps the WYSIWYG module could perform a better "check" and warning (it shows CKEditor installed without any hint the module is missing).
Comment #37jcisio CreditAttribution: jcisio commented

Wrote a small module to enable the upload tab in the "insert flash" box. Works with wysiwyg-6.x-2.1 and ckeditor 3.4.2. Puts files in $filespath/flashfiles. Enable it, go to wysiwyg configuration and enable simpleupload_wysiwyg for ckeditor. Made specific for my needs, so a few modifications will probably be needed if you want to use it. Haven't tested it for image uploads but it probably works for that as well. Please notify me if you extend the module to work in a more general way and for more editors.

You can use DOKSoft Quick image upload plugin.

Quiet Diet
[edit] Project Name
Quiet Diet
[edit] Proposer
Jarrod Hicks
[edit] Summary
Noisebridge could use a place where silence is maintained during busy hours. New quiet work rooms in the south west corner of the Noisebridge space; the current location of the Hackershelves. Individual room names TBD.
[edit] What Will Be Done
Please see the drawings for further clarification.
File:Noisebridge - Sheet - A505 - Quiet Diet.pdf
If the hackershelves can be moved. Build two enclosed quiet rooms with doors and windows for light. Frame out walls with 2x4s and connect 2x8 ceiling joists from top plate to existing south wall frame. Finish with sound proofing and sheet rock. Leave openings for non lockable doors and windows, these can possibly be reused from other projects in the space. If windows and doors that offer greater sound proofing can be sourced, even better.
[edit] What Areas in the Space Will This Affect
Southwest corner of Noisebridge
[edit] Who Will Be Doing It
Jarrod Hicks, and anyone I can convince to help.
[edit] Why This Will Be Good
We create a place where loud activities and busy times in the space don't interrupt hackers that need a low noise environment to work and meet with collaborators. (One of the rooms could be non-reservable). This may also allow more separation between hackers that prefer music while working and those that don't. Increasing the options for places to hack within Noisebridge. The larger of the rooms will also be a good place for the optical instruments.
The rational for this project is further described in the diagrams below
File:Noisebridge - Sheet - A001 - Volume Diagrams.pdf
[edit] Why This Will Be Bad
The materials for the room will not be cheap. People trying to live in the rooms may be an issue.
[edit] How Long Will It Take
This project would likely take place at towards the end of the ReBase project.
[edit] In A Fantastic World, What Extra Budget Would You Like
Money for materials: Framing,decking , hardware, soundproofing, electrical wiring, lighting, possibly doors/windows.
[edit] Are There Any Other PFAs This Would Work Well With
Dependent on HACKERSHELF HEALTH moving the Hackershelves. Required for a storage loft above the room.
[edit] Are There Any Other PFAs This Would Contradict

|Is Dane Jackson Male Paddler of the Year?
Dane Jackson has been touted as a kayaking prodigy since his age was still single digits. Flashes of brilliance and raw talent have always been Dane staples, mostly in the freestyle discipline, but that's changing. Dane—who recently turned 18—went on a tear in 2011, winning a junior world title at the ICF Freestyle Kayak World Championships (in which he was the first to compete in all four freestyle disciplines, taking home gold in three), the freestyle title in the USACK North American Whitewater Junior Olympics, and beating a field of 28 of the world's best paddlers in big water at the inaugural, cross-discipline Whitewater Grand Prix). From now on he's going to be playing with the big boys. How will he fare? His results already speak for themselves. Here's a timeline of his unprecedented last year. — Will Taylor
Watch Dane go big here in a clip by Tyler Fox on a monster wave in Quebec called "The Land of the Lost" during the 2011 spring runoff. At 70,000 cfs, Fox called it "without a doubt the biggest, most gnarly wave ever surfed." Dane throws an airscrew, followed by other impressive surfs from Canadian paddlers Ben Marr, Nick Troutman, and Joel Kowalski. See the full clip HERE.
January: Rung in the New Year paddling the Rio Jalacingo in Veracruz, Mexico. "Best run ever," Dane said.
February: Went to the White Nile in Africa with the family, away from their Rock Island, Tenn. home base. Filmed for upcoming instructional Jackson Kayak playboating DVD and trained for freestyle World Championships.
March: Dane wins the juniors division in the Alabama Mountain Games, the first event of the USA Point Series for Freestyle Kayaking. His junior wave score was the highest of the entire competition—including seniors. He also won C-1. "His ability has been top level for about three years but he just didn't have the maturity to compose his mind," Clay Wright, of Jackson Kayak said. "It's the first year where he thought, 'I'm gonna do well and compete as a junior. I actually want to learn how to win.'"
April: Dane wins the junior division in the USAFK national point series, gets third in the men's division, and gets second overall at the T'Ville Triple Crown. He wins Juniors, C-1, and OC-1 at the NOC shootout.
May: Dane takes the win at the inaugural Whitewater Grand Prix, an event featuring 28 of the world's best paddlers in six events. The event was held over a two-week period in both Ontario and Quebec. Ben Marr took second and Rush Sturges took third. "He definitely came into his own in terms of his creeking ability," Sturges said. "He was out there styling lines as good as anybody or better."
After the event, Jackson stayed and surfed some massive, big-water waves. "He hasn't spent as much time on these big waves like Ben (Marr)," Patrick Camblin, the organizer of the Grand Prix, said. "He was not hesitating at all. He was going as hard or harder than anyone else in the most dangerous spots."
June: Dane wins a trio of gold medals at the International Canoe Federation Freestyle Kayak World Championships in Germany. Jackson won gold in Junior Men's K-1, C-1 and Squirt, plus a bronze in OC-1. "His junior rides would have won the senior men's class," Dane's dad, Eric, "E.J." Jackson said. "He didn't miss a move. Watching him compete in that class was just incredible. Three golds and a bronze all in one day. He was obviously making history." He was subsequently named the U.S. Olympic Committee Athlete of the Month for June.
July: Dane takes the national title in Juniors, C-1, and OC-1 at the USA Freestyle Kayak National Championships. Dane turns 18 on July 19. He's officially an adult and must now compete as a senior for the rest of his career. "He's always competing against me and the rest of the crew now," E.J. said. "It's the real deal. We'll see how he handles the pressure. I think he'll handle this like he handles everything else: no problem."
August: Spends a month in Ottawa, training and paddling with the family.
September: Goes to Sickline Extreme Kayak World Championships and gets 29th. "It's kind of nice (to not do well). If I didn't get 29th or 13th every once in a while, I'd get full of myself. It gets your mind in the right place to train harder next time."
October: E.J. and Dane sign with Kokatat with plans to deliver a signature line of Kokatat paddling products by 2013.
November: Dane travels around West Virginia by himself in his raised '93 Land Cruiser before heading to Mexico to paddle in the Veracruz region.
"There's good water (in Tennessee) right now," Dane said. "I have nothing planned. I'm just going to hang out at home for a little while."

From the Sled Dog Action Coalition, http://www.helpsleddogs.org
Imagine the cruelties these cute sled dog pups will eventually experience in the Iditarod.
Contact information, email blocks and sample letter are below.
Please help end the barbaric treatment of dogs by sending protest emails to organizations that support the Iditarod. What happens to the dogs during the Iditarod includes death, paralysis, frostbite (where it hurts the most!), bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured discs, viral diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons and sprains.
Dog beatings and whippings are common. During the 2007 Iditarod, eyewitnesses reported that musher Ramy Brooks kicked, punched and beat his dogs with a ski pole and a chain. Jim Welch says in his book Speed Mushing Manual, "A training device such as a whip is not cruel at all but is effective." "It is a common training device in use among dog mushers..."
Iditarod dog kennels are puppy mills. Mushers breed large numbers of dogs and routinely kill unwanted ones, including puppies. Many dogs who are permanently disabled in the Iditarod, or who are unwanted for any reason are killed with a shot to the head, dragged, drowned or clubbed to death.
When they're not hauling people, most Iditarod dogs are forced to live at the end of a chain. It has been reported that dogs who don't make the main team are never taken off-chain. Chained dogs have been attacked by wolves, bears and other animals. Old and arthritic dogs suffer terrible pain in the blistering cold.
Most Internet service providers allow people to send up to 40 email addresses
at a time. For your convenience, the addresses have been divided into groups
of 40. Please email the first group first. Individual email addresses are
given under the sample letter. The groups contain addresses for the Iditarod
sponsors, promoters, and the sponsors of the 73 mushers who signed up for the 2009 Iditarod. Email blocks with semicolons are on

SAMPLE LETTER (Please personalize the letter.):
Dear Iditarod Supporter:
Please end your organization's support of the Iditarod dog sled race. For the
dogs, this event is a bottomless pit of suffering. What happens to the dogs during the Iditarod includes death, paralysis, frostbite (where it hurts the most!), bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured discs, viral diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons and sprains. At least 136 dogs have died in the race. No one knows how many dogs die after this tortuous ordeal or during training. For more facts about the Iditarod, visit the Sled Dog Action Coalition website, http://www.helpsleddogs.org.
On average, 53 percent of the dogs who start the race do not make it across
the finish line. According to a report published in the American Journal of
Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, of those who do finish, 81 percent have lung damage. A report published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine said that 61 percent of the dogs who complete the Iditarod have ulcers versus zero percent pre-race.
Iditarod dog kennels are puppy mills. Mushers breed large numbers of dogs and routinely kill unwanted ones, including puppies. Many dogs who are
permanently disabled in the Iditarod, or who are unwanted for any reason, including those who have outlived their usefulness, are killed with a shot to the head, dragged, drowned or clubbed to death. "Dogs are clubbed with baseball bats and if they don't pull are dragged to death in harnesses....." wrote former Iditarod dog handler Mike Cranford in an article for Alaska's Bush Blade Newspaper.
Dog beatings and whippings are common. During the 2007 Iditarod, eyewitnesses reported that musher Ramy Brooks kicked, punched and beat his dogs with a ski pole and a chain. Jim Welch says in his book Speed Mushing Manual, "Nagging a dog team is cruel and ineffective...A training device such as a whip is not cruel at all but is effective." "It is a common training device in use among dog mushers..."
Jon Saraceno wrote in his March 3, 2000 column in USA Today, "He [Colonel Tom Classen] confirmed dog beatings and far worse. Like starving dogs to maintain their most advantageous racing weight. Skinning them to make mittens. Or dragging them to their death."
During the race, veterinarians do not give the dogs physical exams at every
checkpoint. Mushers speed through many checkpoints, so the dogs get the
briefest visual checks, if that. Instead of pulling sick dogs from the race,
veterinarians frequently give them massive doses of antibiotics to keep them running.
Most Iditarod dogs are forced to live at the end of a chain when they aren't hauling people around. It has been reported that dogs who don't make the main team are never taken off-chain. Chained dogs have been attacked by wolves, bears and other animals. Old and arthritic dogs suffer terrible pain in the blistering cold.
Please end your organization's association with this horrific race.

Two days after winning a hotly contested New Jersey congressional seat, John Adler, a Democratic state senator, managed to squeeze in a workout at his gym at the Betty & Milton Katz Jewish Community Center in Cherry Hill, N.J.
Adler recalled that, while at the gym, a man in his 50s came up to congratulate him. When Adler asked how he was doing, the man replied that he'd just been laid off from the job he'd held for 12 years, a sobering reminder to the new senator of the difficult economic times — and the immense challenges and expectations — that the Democratic Congress and President-elect Barack Obama will face come January.
"There are hundreds of thousands of people who have lost their jobs. Things are getting worse, rather than better, right now. These are very tough times for America," said Adler, who went on to joke that he'd asked several lawmakers to see if they couldn't solve the financial crisis before he takes office.
Adler said he plans to spend his first term focusing on the concerns of middle-class families and those of retirees. The 49-year-old also said that, while a full overhaul of the health-care system may be difficult to achieve in the next few years, he does think Congress and the president will be able to pass a law to ensure that all American children are covered.
Adler defeated Medford, N.J., Mayor Chris Myers by about 10,000 votes, 52 percent to 48 percent, and will succeed retiring U.S. Rep. Jim Saxton (R-N.J.) to represent the state's 3rd Congressional District, which stretches from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean. It's been more than a century since a Democrat represented this slice of South Jersey.
He'll be one of 31 Jewish House members serving in the 111th Congress; there will also be 12 Jewish members of the Senate.
The race with Myers was considered one of the most-competitive in the region, but Adler utilized a substantial fundraising advantage to flood the airwaves with ads that likened Myers' economic policies to those of President George W. Bush. After the election, Adler said that his opponent put forth some good ideas on health-care policy and said he would consult with his former rival.
This race was the Harvard-trained lawyer's second shot at Congress. Back in 1990 — two years before he was elected to serve in the state Senate — Adler made an unsuccessful bid to unseat Saxton.
"I was a different guy," said Adler, "that had one child and all his hair, and I hadn't served in the state Senate and didn't really know the problems that middle-aged people go through."
A New Commute
Adler and his wife have four sons, age 19 to 7. He said he has no plans to relocate and expects to commute to Washington via Amtrak. (He quipped that even if Vice President-elect Joe Biden — an Amtrak regular while in the Senate — ever did ride the train to D.C., the Secret Service probably wouldn't let Adler sit with him.)
Adler noted that he has already accepted an invitation to go to Israel with other freshman lawmakers on a trip sponsored by the American Israel Education Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the powerful lobbying group, AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). A date has yet to be set.
He first visited Israel in 2002, during the height of the second intifada.
The longtime member of Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill was actually raised in the Episcopal Church. He converted to Judaism in 1985, four months shy of his wedding. "I found my home in Reform Judaism," noted Adler.

After last week's talkfest, the big question is whether the tax forum will produce real momentum for further reform.
If it does, it raises visions of Indiana Jones rushing out of the cave and just escaping a huge boulder thundering down behind him. As much as further reform is desirable,
In all the talk the superannuation industry may have got one small crumb of comfort, with the government responding to industry pleas to consider a number of retirement income options, including deferred annuities.
This is some progress but reform is still moving at a snail's pace. It comes at a time when the challenges of designing a workable retirement income product are accelerating, much like that boulder in Indiana Jones's booby-trapped Peruvian mine.
Indeed, when key executives from Australia's largest super funds met recently they identified structural problems for the industry as their main concerns, rather than complaints about the volatility in investment markets.
The Centre for Investor Education recently ran a major market players forum which gathered super executives representing about $525 billion of super assets. When they looked at all the challenges, the two top concerns were their members' demographics and the need for suitable post-retirement solutions.
For fund members nearing retirement and for the funds themselves, looming retirement, a strong desire to preserve retirement savings and a concern about longevity risk could not come at a worse time, as everyone is trying to survive in falling or volatile investment markets.
In many cases this has resulted in members cashing in benefits from their occupational fund and putting the money into their own self-managed super funds. The reason often given is that people want to control their own retirement money.
But in many cases the flight to SMSFs is almost certainly triggered by people who want a more defensive asset mix to avoid stockmarket risk. In the absence of any alternative from their fund, they are taking matters into their own hands.
Many funds are acutely aware of this; the problem is to find the appropriate solution.
It is now apparent that individual tailoring is required for super funds to find the best solution for their members leading up to and into retirement. However, the funds themselves may not always have the detailed information to do this without one-on-one interviews.
Life-cycle or target date funds might be part of the answer ahead of retirement (though there still seems to be widespread doubt on this type of fund).
One of the problems in superannuation is that it is an industry very much driven by peer pressure. Funds are focused mostly on not underperforming their peers in the short term, and most of the measurements and surveys are short term, focused on month-to-month changes.
Indeed, with this mindset it may also be difficult to see where the impetus for changes – such as to target date or life-cycle funds – will come from unless one or two leaders are prepared to move out in front of the pack.
In the retirement income phase, every fund is well aware of its members' risk of out-living their savings. Account-based funds can only do so much: a full answer involves annuity-type products.
Even if these may be only part of the answer, they involve work and co-operation by several regulators and the government. Still, at least Swan has given assurance that the government, as advised in the Henry Report, will work on the impediments to these products.
It seems that the government's tax concessions for super escaped major scrutiny at the forum. One source says there seemed fairly general agreement that super needed greater stability and confidence and that any further adverse changes weren't needed.
In any case, the super industry has been on the front line with the Stronger Super reforms and the associated Future of Financial Advice changes, which together represent the most significant change for two decades.
The view in the industry is that these are the necessary renovations to the system to ensure that the promised increase in contributions from 9 to 12 per cent of salary are well invested and protected.
There is also an argument that it is the middle to low-income earners who are still falling short of retirement savings and that they will be best helped by the increase in contributions and the low income earners' tax rebate.
From now on, the government will be under pressure to get its super reforms legislation passed, along with the legislation (yet to be detailed) to phase in higher contribution rates.
Based on history, the government can't rely on the Coalition giving superannuation measures an easy passage and the increased contributions have already triggered significant opposition from employers.
In the current political and parliamentary climate, getting a good result on these measures will be a major achievement, given the opposition to the other two large issues: the mining tax and the carbon tax.
For super funds, it seems they still face risks – and not just in investment markets.

Police in New York arrested former Giants LB Lawrence Taylor and accused him of raping a 16-year-old girl on Thursday.
Taylor was held after being arrested by Ramapo, N.Y., police and accused of third-degree rape.
The allegations stemmed from an incident at the Holiday Inn in Suffern, N.Y., Ramapo Detective Lt. Brad Weidel told the Journal News.
TAYLOR's PAST: In 2004, he spoke of a fondness for callgirls
SECOND MAN ARRESTED: New York City cops allege wrongdoing by 36-year-old man
Ramapo police supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence told the Journal News that the victim was a runaway from the Bronx and that she had been assaulted.
"She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved," St. Lawrence told the paper. "She got punched in the face. We're not sure who did it."
Attorney Kenneth Gribetz told the Journal News he met with Taylor at the jail on Thursday and declared the Hall of Famer is innocent. Griebetz said he's confident Taylor "will be fully exonerated."
Police expect to hold a news conference on Thursday afternoon to provide more details.
TAYLOR'S WIFE SPEAKS: Says 'I'm watching the news just like you'
Taylor's most recent run-in with the law was an arrest in Florida in November after a traffic accident.
He was honored during the NFL draft last month. The NFL named him its 10th most valuable draft pick of the previous 75 years.
Taylor battled substance abuse problems for many years. In 1987, he titled his autobiography "Living on the Edge." In 2004, he published another autobiography titled "Over the Edge: Tackling Quarterbacks, Drugs and a World Beyond Football." -- Sean Leahy
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

GSA Secures Funding for Laredo Ports of Entry Projects
January 21, 2014
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced that the agency has received federal funding for construction at the Laredo Convent Avenue and Juárez-Lincoln Ports of Entry. With the passage of the Fiscal Year 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act, GSA will invest $61.6 million to construct both projects to ease traffic in the area and help the Department of Homeland Security continue to fulfill its mission.
Key Facts:
- In 2012, the Juárez-Lincoln Port of Entry processed 38,368 buses, 989,205 bus passengers and 3,360,174 cars making it the busiest bus and the third busiest automobile port in the nation.
- The facility was originally designed to process 6-10 buses per day. Currently, the port receives more than 100 buses per day with as many as 150 on particularly busy days.
- Since 1995, bus traffic has increased 81% and bus passengers increased by 217%.
- In 2012, 3,206,372 people passed through the Convent Avenue Port of Entry making it the 5th busiest pedestrian port in the nation. The port also processed 932,847 automobiles.
Project Details:
- The projects will improve the amount of time and resources required to process pedestrians, automobiles, and buses while improving the safety and security for the public and Customs and Border Protection Officers, as well as the experience for all users of the port.
- The funding will allow GSA to create a more cohesive, consolidated and safe bus inspection and passenger processing area; pedestrian inspection lanes; inspection area including luggage x-ray; waiting area, restrooms, and canopy for loading and unloading buses.
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will also have a dedicated area at the Juárez-Lincoln Port of Entry to perform required bus inspections on a more consistent basis.
- Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission will have a permanent presence at both ports.
Congressman Henry Cuellar comments:
"With these funds, Laredo will be able to modernize the infrastructure and expand the facilities at our bridges. This means pedestrians will no longer have to wait in long lines in the heat and buses and cars will pass more quickly across the border. It will also increase the safety of our border communities and allow for better flow of trade and commerce through our ports. I would like to thank the City of Laredo as well as my colleagues Congressman Ander Crenshaw and Congressman Jose Serrano for their support of this funding. I would also like to thank General Services Administration Dan Tangherlini in particular for his continued support for this project."
GSA Administrator Dan Tangherlini weighs in:
"This funding will increase efficiency, create economic growth, and improve safety and security for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. These are critical investments in infrastructure that will create significant savings by preventing costly emergency repairs in the future and build upon our progress."
GSA's Acting Regional Administrator Sylvia Hernandez says:
"GSA's mission is to serve the government and the American People. The funding for the Laredo projects help us to accomplish both. The strong partnerships we've developed with the City of Laredo, Congressman Cuellar's Office and our customer, DHS's Customer and Border Protection, will be instrumental carrying these projects to completion."

However, in a recent study commissioned by the Book Industry Study Group, the number one complaint consumers noted about the e-reader experience is that "certain e-books [are] specific to certain e-readers." (Book Industry Study Group. "Consumer Attitudes Toward E-book Reading" Jan. 2010, p. 28). Clearly, consumers value content interoperability as a key feature of the digital reading experience, preferring to not have their content specific to one device. Although Apple has standardized on the EPUB format, because it employs its own DRM to protect eBooks consumers will lose out on much of the benefit of an interoperable format simply because they won't be able to transfer content across devices.
For example, EPUB content protected with Apple DRM won't work on numerous eReaders like the Barnes & Noble nook and the Sony Reader, not to mention future, forthcoming models. Similarly, protected EPUB eBooks obtained from thousands of online booksellers (including Barnes & Noble) and most public libraries (including The New York Public Library)—are unreadable on the iPad.
In the coming months, we'll see a plethora of tablets besides the iPad hit the market. Before investing in a library of eBook content, readers should consider how they'll be able to access their content across the range of devices—eReaders, tablets, desktop PCs, and smartphones—that they use on a daily basis. The Adobe eBook Platform—including the thousands of online booksellers and libraries using Content Server 4 to protect PDF and EPUB eBooks and the 30+ device manufacturers building compatible eReaders—allows consumers to download, transfer and read EPUB eBooks across PCs, smartphones, and dozens of dedicated eReader devices. The result is a reading experience not limited to a specific platform, but tailored to the consumer—whenever and wherever they wish to read.]]>

The decision to increase investment in this area underscores the importance that Adobe has always given to digital publishing as well as the bright future it sees in helping publishers to deliver compelling digital publications that support a variety of business models: subscription, advertising, retail and other emerging models. We are particularly excited about what we have in store for 2010. We plan to further our reach to emerging mobile reading platforms to allow readers to read anywhere, on any device. With Adobe's acquisition of Omniture, we will help publishers measure and understand how their readership interacts with and uses their content. But, most of all, we will continue to deliver products that make digital books, newspapers and magazines a terrific experience for readers.
We look forward to working with our existing customers and business partners and welcome any new inquiries as we continue our progress in digital publishing.]]>
Converting InDesign documents for Kindle compatibility requires the following steps:
1. Export InDesign document to EPUB
2. Convert EPUB to Amazon-compatible MOBI format
3. Preview on Kindle device (optional)
4. Upload to Amazon store

EPUBGen is a Java library that demonstrates EPUB generation from a variety of document formats, and which may be a useful starting point or reference code for other EPUB generation needs. That is to say, it's an effort to promote the development of a variety of tools and workflows.
EPUBGen has both a set of back-end code generation modules and front end format importer modules. The back-end modules generate EPUB and illustrate more advanced functionality, including font subset embedding with obfuscation. The front-end modules are experimental and incomplete at this time. There are sample Java applications are provided that illustrate the conversion of respective file types (rt2epub, word2epub, fb2epub). There's a build script and available jar file for the 'rtf2epub' project.
This project is being provided to the development community to build on, and so contribution and derivative works, within the scope of the BSD license are invited.
This project is really part of our efforts to support the community effort around EPUB, and as such is hosted with other tools for generating and working with EPUB documents.
The project is hosted with epub-tools.
You can find the source code via subversion.
For rtf2epub there is an entry in the downloads
Without going into too much detail, here's a list of the top level packages (by which the project is organized) and a short description of each:
This is where you'll find EPUB related functionality, including handling of OPF, OPS, NCX, and CSS generation.
This has most of the font management code (although Font Subsetting is actually found in com.adobe.epub).
These are the front-end modules, they'll each have a main entry point and conversion code for reading and parsing through the source format.
Functionality used by both rtf2epub and word2epub.]]>
Unless you find reading Java code interesting, you can probably skip this article.
I've implemented the IDPF font obfuscation algorithm which is recommended here. The font obfuscation code can be found in the EPUBGen project, and so you can take and review, and use the code. In this article, I'm going to highlight just the portions of that project that are related to embedding and obfuscating the font information. (The project also has font subsetting and other features which I will not cover.)
If you'd like to follow along, the code I'm referring to is hosted on epub-tools, and you'll find it in the epubgen section within epub-tools.
As I mentioned, this should match the approach outlined in the informational document from the IDPF, which describes an algorithm for obfuscating a font, how to identify the document key for that algorithm, and how those fonts should be identified.
The code that actually modifies the font is in the "IDPFFontResource.java" file. You'll find it in …/com.adobe.epub/src/com/adobe/epub/opf/IDPFFontResource.java within the project.
The loop is a little different than that of the recommendation document, but the end result is the same. The obfuscation key (see below) is applied to the first 1040 bytes of the font file.
The code that actually does this is in the the serialize method:
/** Implements the Obfuscation Algorithm from* http://www.openebook.org/doc_library/informationaldocs/FontManglingSpec.html**/public void serialize(OutputStream out) throws IOException {try {byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];int len;InputStream in = source.getInputStream();boolean first = true;while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {if( first && mask != null ) {first = false;for( int i = 0 ; i < 1040 ; i++ ) {buffer[i] = (byte)(buffer[i] ^ mask[i%mask.length]);}}out.write(buffer, 0, len);}} catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}out.close();}
Ok, so we need an obfuscation key. The recommendation tells us to use the EPUB's 'unique-identifier'. Every EPUB has a
unique-identifier, and it's
unique-identifier is referenced in the root element of the OPF file. Look through the metadata in the OPF and you'll find an identifier with an
id that matches the
unique-identifier, that's the EPUB's unique identifier and is the basis for our obfuscation key.
Of course as EPUBGen is creating the epub, and not parsing it, we need to create the identifier. This is done in the
addUID method.
Both the
addUID method and the
makeXORMask method (below) are found in Publication.java.
/** Every EPUB needs a unique identifier, this could be an ISBN or other identifier.* In this case we're generating a random identifier.** For the purposes of font obfuscation, this does not need to be random, just unique (like an ISBN)*/public String addUID() {String uid = this.generateRandomIdentifier();return uid;}
The value of the
unique-identifier needs to have the whitespace removed. The resulting string will be passed through the SHA-1 hash algorithm to give us our key or mask for the font files.
Note: I'm only showing the portion of
makeXORMask that relate to the IDPF approach. The project can also create a mask for the deprecated approach.
private byte[] makeXORMask() {if(opfUID == null)return null;ByteArrayOutputStream mask = new ByteArrayOutputStream();if (useIDPFFontMangling){/** This starts with the "unique-identifier", strips the whitespace, and applies SHA1 hash* giving a 20 byte key that we can apply to the font file.** See: http://www.openebook.org/doc_library/informationaldocs/FontManglingSpec.html*/try {Security.addProvider(new com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE());MessageDigest sha = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");String temp = strip(opfUID);sha.update(temp.getBytes(), 0, temp.length());mask.write(sha.digest());} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {System.err.println("No such Algorithm (really, did I misspell SHA-1?");System.err.println(e.toString());return null;} catch (IOException e) {System.err.println("IO Exception. check out mask.write...");System.err.println(e.toString());return null;}if (mask.size() != 20) {System.err.println("makeXORMask should give 20 byte mask, but isn't");return null;}}else {/** This is where the deprecated approach is implemented.* Removed for clarity.*/}return mask.toByteArray();}
The result is put together by the
serialize method in Publication.java. You'll see the call to
makeXORMask passing that mask to the IDPFFontResource, the call to the resource serialization (
res.serialize), and then generating the
encryption.xml file.
public void serialize(ContainerWriter container) throws IOException {Enumeration names = resourcesByName.keys();byte[] mask = makeXORMask();boolean needEnc = false;while (names.hasMoreElements()) {String name = (String) names.nextElement();Resource res = (Resource) resourcesByName.get(name);if (mask != null && res instanceof AdobeFontResource) {((AdobeFontResource) res).setXORMask(mask);needEnc = true;}if (mask != null && res instanceof IDPFFontResource) {((IDPFFontResource) res).setXORMask(mask);needEnc = true;}OutputStream out = container.getOutputStream(name, res.canCompress());res.serialize(out);}if (needEnc) {XMLSerializer ser = new XMLSerializer(container.getOutputStream("META-INF/encryption.xml"));ser.startDocument("1.0", "UTF-8");ser.startElement(ocfns, "encryption", null, true);names = resourcesByName.keys();while (names.hasMoreElements()) {String name = (String) names.nextElement();Resource res = (Resource) resourcesByName.get(name);if ((res instanceof FontResource) && (useIDPFFontMangling)) {SMapImpl attrs = new SMapImpl();ser.startElement(encns,"EncryptedData", null, true);attrs.put(null, "Algorithm", "http://www.idpf.org/2008/embedding");ser.startElement(encns, "EncryptionMethod", attrs, false);ser.endElement(encns, "EncryptionMethod");ser.startElement(encns, "CipherData", null, false);attrs = new SMapImpl();attrs.put(null, "URI", name);ser.startElement(encns, "CipherReference", attrs, false);ser.endElement(encns, "CipherReference");ser.endElement(encns, "CipherData");ser.endElement(encns, "EncryptedData");}else if (res instanceof FontResource) {/** This is where the deprecated approach is implemented.* Removed for clarity.*/}}ser.endElement(ocfns, "encryption");ser.endDocument();}XMLSerializer ser = new XMLSerializer(container.getOutputStream("META-INF/container.xml"));/** Code removed for brevity.* Can be viewed in the project, it just fills out the container.xml file.*/}
And with that, you should have the IDPF recommended font obfuscation approach. The font still needs to be listed in the manifest, and can be referenced by the CSS as it normally would.]]>
Content is dropped during export to Digital Editions when two or more documents are included in a book. [2262891]*
This was an issue where, if you have more than one document in a book file, and you export an EPUB from the book file, the first document is the only one that's guaranteed to have any content.
Export for Digital Editions will put underscores, rather than spaces, in the Contents if TOCStyle is not used. [2296603]*
This is the case where you use the InDesign Book feature to export a set of documents, and the file names end up in the "Contents" panel in ADE. The problem was that if you had spaces in the filenames, the export filter would replace them with underscores. You'll now get spaces rather than having them replaced by underscores.
Bold (and in some cases italic) won't work when exporting an InDesign document to Digital Editions. [2296606]
It was actually that bold wasn't working when it wasn't in the paragraph style, and italic worked only if you did not embed the font. Both were fixed in the 6.0.1 update, but are also fixed in the 6.0.2 update.
Exporting to Digital Editions fails with an error in the Italian and French version. [1923992]
The dialog wasn't working, which had prevented the plug-in from being used.So with this update you should be getting much better output from InDesign CS4.]]>
The project is open source, and available for download.
Note that there is also a .jar file for rtf2epub and it should work, but the main intent of this project is to provide source code and examples of the way things could be done. In other words, there's plenty of room for developers to improve and enhance the conversion.
The project includes code to convert a couple different formats to ePub, including generating all the required files and creating the package. The project also shows how to mangle embedded fonts, how to sub-set those font (thus reducing the size of the ePub).
The code is hosted with the epub-tools site on code.google.com. Thanks to Liza Daly for organizing a location for ePub tools.
I created an ant file for building the rtf2epub converter, and it's included. I expect there's a need for build scripts for the others, but it's really straight forward. FB2 conversion does have some additional dependencies, I'll cover that in more detail in an upcoming entry to this blog.
Once you have the project building it should be straightforward.You'll find the 'build.xml' in the com.adobe.conv.rtf2epub folder. Of course you'll need Ant installed to use the Ant script.
Should give you results similar to the following:
Buildfile: build.xmlcreateDistributionDir:buildSrcZip:removeClasses:compile:[javac] Compiling 9 source files to .../com.adobe.conv.rtf2epub/bin[javac] Compiling 47 source files to .../com.adobe.conv.rtf2epub/bin[javac] Compiling 78 source files to .../com.adobe.conv.rtf2epub/bin[javac] Compiling 2 source files to .../com.adobe.conv.rtf2epub/binbuildJar:[jar] Building jar: .../com.adobe.conv.rtf2epub/dist/rtf2epub-0.1.0.jarbuildBinZip:[delete] Deleting: .../com.adobe.conv.rtf2epub/dist/rtf2epub-0.1.0.zip[zip] Building zip: .../com.adobe.conv.rtf2epub/dist/rtf2epub-0.1.0.zipbuildrtf2epub:BUILD SUCCESSFULTotal time: 3 seconds
After building, or if you download the pre-built jar file, you can run the converter at the command line. Arguments are the path to the file to convert and the path to the epub file.
java -jar rtf2epub-0.1.0.jar In.rtf Out.epub
Of course Main.java is the entry for each of the converters, but much of the interesting code is in the Publication.java file.
FB2 conversion requires some additional dependencies, which I'll note in an upcoming entry.]]>
In general, I'm assuming your cover pages are going to be a separate XHTML file from the rest of the content, and that the XHTML file will have, basically, a single image to represent the cover.
Our thumbnail size is 90×130. For a cover page to fit well in that, and also look good at larger sizes, you'll want to create is a single image with that aspect ratio. (567×819 should work well.) In the CSS you'll want to set the max-width to 100%, all margins and padding set to zero.
img { max-width: 100%;padding: 0;margin: 0;}
You've probably noticed that in Adobe Digital Editions, when you shrink the text enough, the reading view goes into a two column or three column mode. That's great for the text, but not so good for the image, you'd rather keep it centered. A one column view is usually best.This is one case where I'd probably just include the style information in the XHTML file for the cover. You'll want to style the 'body' tag with the
oeb-column-number property and a value of 1, like this:
<body style="oeb-column-number: 1;">The inline style will override the default style, and you'll have a single column for everything in that particular
body element.
So, now we've got a cover image that fills the thumbnail without any white bands. It also looks good in the reading view. That's as far as we're going in this blog post, but I thought I should mention that if you want more sophisticated cover pages, perhaps changing the background color in the reading view, or having an image that bleeds well off of the view at most aspect ratios… well, that's certainly possible, but requires using inline SVG to control the view, and that's beyond the scope of today's post.]]>

The limits of competition : reasserting a role for consumer protection and fair trading regulation in competitive markets

In this paper we advocate for the continued need for consumer protection and fair trading regulation, even in competitive markets. For the purposes of this paper a 'competitive market' is defined as one that has low barriers to entry and exit, with homogenous products and services and numerous suppliers. Whilst competition is an important tool for providing consumer benefits, it will not be sufficient to protect at least some consumers, particularly vulnerable, low income consumers. For this reason, we argue, setting competition as the 'end goal' and assuming that consumer protection and consumer benefits will always follow, is a flawed regulatory approach. The 'end goal' should surely be consumer protection and fair markets, and a combination of competition law and consumer protection law should be applied in order to achieve those goals.
