Lord Higgins: My Lords, I am most grateful. Is it not also the case that there could be someone with a number of small part-time jobs in supermarkets, McDonald's, and so on, who cannot build up a contribution record because such jobs are separate? In those circumstances, should that person become disabled, he or she would be penalised as a result of this change.
Baroness Hollis: Yes, my Lords. However, that is one of the arguments I was about to deal with. If the noble Lord will allow me, I shall extend it.
First, when severe disability allowance was introduced, DLA was rarely available, but now 80 per cent are receiving DLA. Secondly, the disability premium in income support was introduced in 1988. So, in answer to the point made by the noble Lord--namely, that it is fine if the woman has a spouse but what does she do if she is single--I should tell him that she would go on to income support with a disability premium and get a higher benefit than she would on SDA. Therefore, it would not be a case of that woman being exposed to hardship.
In response to the noble Lord, Lord Higgins, I can tell him that in the past 20 years the number of women acquiring eligibility and claiming invalidity benefit has gone up from 84,000 to over half a million; in other words, 500,000. That is a sixfold increase. As a result of the minimum wage and changes to the lower earnings limit (LEL), introduced by this Government, 90 per cent of women who work more than 16 hours a week, and between 60 per cent and 70 per cent of women who work less than 16 hours a week, in whatever shape or form, will now build up contributory benefit entitlement. Not only will people currently on SDA be protected but also women will
That is the first change as regards what has happened to the world of work and the women in it. We should remember that seven out of eight married women do not stay at home looking after the children and doing nothing else; they look after their children, as that is a priority in their lives, but they also go out to work. Almost as many married women are working as married men. The assumption that somehow women are always at home looking after the children takes no account at all of the world of work and women's place in it. That place has been transformed in the past 20 or so years.
The second point I want to make is that there is extra help for disabled people which the Government are providing. We shall be spending up to £2 billion more on benefits for disabled people by the end of this Parliament. We are building on a commitment to comprehensive civil rights, helping disabled people to get into work through disabled person's tax credit. We have made a £200 million investment in a new deal for disabled people. There will be a further £18 million in the ONE programme. In addition, the most severely disabled people under 60 will receive the new disability income guarantee. In retirement, long-term disabled people with broken work records will be helped by our state second pension.
Within that context--what we are doing for disabled people in general and also for women in terms of encouraging them to build up their own contribution record to claim IB and not need SDA--we are going a long way. Of these amendments, Amendments Nos. 137 to 141 seek to extend the entitlement to IB under the new rules in Clause 60 to additional groups of disabled people.
Clause 60 ensures that disabled people aged under 20, or in certain circumstances under 25, will in future be entitled to IB. People with learning difficulties and with other forms of disability, either acquired at birth or at a very young age, will also benefit: they will be awarded IB. Amendment No. 144 would retain a severe disablement allowance for all claimants aged between 16 and 65: not just those who have been unable to build up a work record but those who have chosen not to build up such a record, including women like myself who have chosen to pay the married woman's reduced stamp.
The amendments before us would extend this generous treatment to other people of any age who, though they may not satisfy the current contribution conditions for IB will have the opportunity to work and to build up a contribution record earlier in their lives. In particular it is proposed that this should be extended to carers receiving ICA for a year, to parents and to people receiving DPTC or DWA.
Of course we recognise the valuable role of carers, and we are already protecting them. They will be passed forward to IB where they meet the appropriate
A concession built on a record of recent caring would result in lifetime carers becoming entitled to IB only if they become incapacitated within a year or so of ceasing caring, while a lifetime unemployed could secure IB on the basis of having received ICA fairly recently.
Given that we are protecting the position of carers in terms of access to IB, the second part of my noble friend's amendment would apply the same principles to newly disabled people who have been, until the amendment, precluded from employment by responsibilities at home. I presume this largely means parents who have children who have chosen not to work but to stay at home and not even to go into part-time work, and thus fail to take the opportunity to build up a contribution record.
I do not believe that this is right. We are saying that women, parents, have the same rights, capacities and abilities, as the statistics show, to enter the world of work and protect themselves against disability, in terms of contributing to a benefit which will give them full coverage.
The third element of my noble friend's amendment is the proposal that someone who has been receiving DPTC or DWA for 25 weeks of the last two complete years in relation to the relevant tax year should also be entitled to IB. Again, this amendment has been overtaken by events. We are extending protection under Clause 58 to certain people who might otherwise lose out through trying to work: namely, people who reclaim IB after receiving DPTC and earnings lower than LEL. For those people on DPTC who have previously been entitled to IB, on the basis of contributions paid, a special two-year linking rule also exists within IB. We therefore intend to provide that people coming off DPTC--perhaps because of a deteriorating condition--will be able to qualify for IB as now. Amendment No. 142 guarantees or ensures that that will be protected. We were worried that certain people who might be disadvantaged would need to reclaim after having left benefit; government Amendment No. 142 puts that right.
As your Lordships know, to be entitled to claim IB under the new rules, disabled people must be aged under 20 or, if in education or work-based training, aged under 25 when they make their claim. Having qualified for IB, these limits will stop people requalifying once they have left benefit, if they are over the appropriate age, unless they are covered by a linking rule. As now, for claims to link, the break between benefit claims must not exceed eight weeks. However, there are special rules which allow this period to be extended to 52 weeks for those who leave
However, we have identified two groups of people for whom it would be impossible ever to requalify if they do not satisfy the current linking rules: those who take up employment and are below the LEL for a lengthy period before becoming incapable of work; and those who return to the UK after a long period abroad. Our amendments protect them and rectify that situation. Of the remaining amendments, Amendments Nos. 143 and 269 are purely technical in nature.
These concessions go a long way to protecting the benefit position of disabled people who have been receiving DPTC or DWA. My noble friend has argued that there should be an extension to carers. I have tried to argue that they will be protected through the new access to IB in exactly the same way as now; they are unaffected by these changes.
Secondly, my noble friend argued that parents should have access to IB as opposed to SDA in the future, irrespective of the fact that they may have chosen not to build up a contributory record. I think that is unreasonable.
Thirdly, he asked for additional protection for disabled people who receive DPTC. I hope that I have reassured him that we are protecting such people.
I hope that the House will feel, believe and accept that the Government, in reforming SDA, are trying to take account of those who most need help--those who can never enter the labour market and build up the contributions which qualify them for IB. One group only is affected--young people who are either born disabled or acquire a disability at such a young age that they can never enter work. Everyone else can--and increasingly does--build up a contribution record in the world of work which qualifies them for IB and which makes SDA redundant. Given that, we believe that the time for SDA in its old form has passed. It used to be called a housewife's benefit pension. Housewife's" is not now an appropriate term; because as many married women are in work as are married men. I hope that your Lordships will accept that SDA's time has passed and that we need to go forward with benefits which more appropriately fit the world in which we live.

Downliners Sekt add to the stock of shy, environmental takes on dubstep templates for this EP 'Balt Shakt', released on French imprint InFine. Much like the duo themselves, the offerings here are characterised by a sense of reclusiveness, with techno and half-step rhythms sunk beneath layers of digital scree and sighing sidechains. Coupled with lilting and unassuming male vocal samples, the EP's make-up is very much in the lineage of James Blake and Mount Kimbie, the atmosphere resembling more a memory of club music than functional club music itself.

This Week's Reading
What We're Loving: Kim's Video, Grant's MemoirsBy The Paris Review
Even if you've never read a book about the Civil War, the Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant will grip your imagination. Dictated by Grant on his deathbed, championed and published by Mark Twain, celebrated by Matthew Arnold and Edmund Wilson (who compared it to Walden and Leaves of Grass), the Memoirs were cited by Gertrude Stein as a main influence on her own prose. However you may write, you'll find their power is contagious. Every page is a lesson in force, clarity, and grace under pressure. To read Grant's description of a military problem, then to read the orders he gave, is, among other things, to see a great modern writer at work. —Lorin Stein
Have you ever imagined a music video as you listen to a song? Sigur Ros asked a dozen filmmakers to do just that with songs from their new album. The results are pretty great, but my favorite—and I'm hardly impartial—is Dash Shaw's animated (I mean that literally) take on "Valtari." Penned with Shortbus and Hedwig writer John Cameron Mitchell, the video features backgrounds by Frank Santoro, whose colors are, as ever, divine. —Nicole Rudick
If you're in agreement with a friend of mine who considers most recent American covers of Cormac McCarthy's novels "oversaturated Windows wallpapers" (why yes, Cormac, that horse is very pretty), then perhaps you will be both pleased and envious to know that the British ones now look like this, and apparently have for some time. Thanks to the now-defunct Aesthetic Book Blog for this gritty eye candy. And check out The Millions' annualish comparison of American and British book covers for further contemplation. —Samuel Fox

Costa Rica: Atlantic slope of Cordillera Volcanica Central from 1500m to 2000m.
Basal margin of mandible flat, without a notch; face with a distinct fan of longitudinal rugae between frontal lobes, and rugose sculpture that extends from mandibular insertions to beyond compound eye; rest of face and promesonotum smooth and highly polished; propodeum shiny and polished like promesonotum, but with variably developed transverse rugae on dorsal face; side of propodeum largely smooth and shining, with at most one longitudinal rugule; dorsal face of propodeum meeting posterior face at an obtuse angle, juncture of two faces smoothly rounded or with a weak transverse carina; legs dark red brown.
Similar species: Stenamma alas, Stenamma expolitum.
Natural History
This species occurs in cloud forest. Workers have been collected in Winkler samples from the Monteverde cloud forest and from 1500m to 2000m on the Barva Transect in Braulio Carrillo National Park.
I found two nests at Finca Murillo, a 1500m site near the Barva transect. One nest was in a clay hummock sticking up in the middle of a muddy trail through forest. The nest was in a small chamber, about 1 x 2cm, and 15cm deep in the hummock. It contained a dealate queen, a few workers, and brood. The other nest was about 4cm deep in soil beneath leaf litter on the forest floor. The nest was a small, flat-bottomed, hemispherical chamber, about 1cm diameter. The chamber contained 5 adult workers, 1 pharate worker, 19 larger larvae, 3 smaller larvae, and abundant eggs. I did not find a queen.
Unlike its relatives S. expolitum and S. alas, this species does not show a preference for clay banks, and I never found any evidence of special infrastructure at the nest entrance (see S. alas for details).
Longino (2005) reported S. alas occurring to 2000m elevation, but this was based on misidentifications of Stenamma JTL-019 as S. alas. Although the two species are very similar, they have separate elevational ranges and very different nesting habits. On both the Barva transect and in the Peñas Blancas valley on the east slope of the Cordillera de Tilarán S. alas occurs up to about 1100m, while Stenamma JTL-019 occurs at 1500m and above.

CHAMPION jockey Nash Rawiller is prepared to forgo the Sydney premiership to achieve a career ambition of riding in Japan.
Rawiller has been approached to ride in Japan for two months from July, meaning he will miss the final four weeks of the 2013-14 racing season.
This opens the door for James McDonald to claim the Sydney title despite incurring a 13-meeting suspension at the Canterbury midweek meeting.
McDonald has 66 metropolitan wins and leads Rawiller by four in the Sydney jockeys premiership.
Rawiller concedes he is very keen to retain his premiership title but feels the Japanese offer is too good to refuse.
"I haven't ridden much overseas in the last few years but I've always loved Japanese racing and while I'm in good form, I want to try and take advantage,'' Rawiller said. "If I do go to the Japan, then it will rule me out of the premiership but I'm at a stage of my life where if an opportunity like this comes up to ride in Japan, then I would like to give it a go.''
Rawiller, who won the Group 1 All Aged Stakes last month on Japanese raider Hana's Goal, expects to hear as early as today confirmation of his Japanese riding stint. "I'm looking forward
to riding in Japan and hopefully making a few good connections,'' he continued.
Rawiller can add to his big-race tally when he rides emerging filly Paris Match in the $400,000 Queensland Oaks (2400m) at Eagle Farm tomorrow.
Paris Match produced an eye-catching Oaks trial when a fast-finishing second behind Tinto in the Gold Coast Bracelet earlier this month,.
"I thought her Gold Coast run was a pretty impressive effort,'' Rawiller said.
Rawiller's other big-race rides tomorrow are Dothraki in the Group 2 Queensland Guineas (1400m), Moriarty lines up in the Group 2 Eagle Farm Cup (2200m) and She's Clean is topweight for the Listed Bright Shadow Handicap (1200m).
"Dothraki has been in great form all preparation and he looks a million dollars,'' Rawiller said.
"I'm really excited about his chances in this race as he has finally drawn a decent gate (barrier one).
"I'm hoping I can find a `bunny' to chase early and that will help him to attack the line.
"Moriarty has been going ok although he's been struggling to put a win on the board this preparation. This trip and the small field suit him.
"She's Clean's first-up run was very good as she got held up for about 50m and at Doomben you don't want that happening, you need to keep momentum going.
"I'd be even more confident if this race was 1400m but Chris (Waller) is a master at keeping horses fresh and this mare's class will take her a long way.''

Review: General Altimax Arctic on an e39
This is the review I was looking for over the weekend when I began to research new snow tires for my 530i.
I know there are many reviews out there on the Altimax Arctic tires but as we all know tires behave differently on each type of car. I couldn't find much in particular on how these tires work on an e39 and what I did find seemed to be in conflict. Some people said they were loud, others quiet, some quick wearing and others saying they would last forever even wearing them through the summer.
My goals for winter tires are something that's quiet, good in deep snow, long lasting, and affordable. In that order.
I was planning on making my old Michelin Arctic Alpin tires last through the season but a highway blowout over the weekend changed that plan.
I've only put about a hundred miles on the tires so far but I can say they're exactly what I was looking for. I got them locally at Sullivan Tire including road force balancing for about $500 not including MA sales tax. Considering the price is $500 shipped from Tire Rack I thought this was pretty good for an installed price.
So far I've taken them up to 80mph on the highway and they're remarkably quiet and smooth. I was expecting something with such a chunky and deep tread design to be much louder than my old Arctic Alpins which only had about 6/32 tread left and were more of a 'high performance' snow with less siping.
They're about as loud as my summer PS2s but of course the sidewall and entire tire is much squishier. It's not as bad as I expected and handles much better than a set of Blizzak WS60s I had on an e46 in the past. I would give a lot of credit to the road force balancing but I noticed absolutely no vibration or odd rumbling all the way up to 80mph. This was one of my concerns in going with a 'budget' brand such as General because the construction may not be as high quality as a Michelin tire. If they continue to be this good, I'll be looking at a General tire to replace my summers in a year when my PS2s are worn down since I want an ultra high performance all season so I don't have to worry as much about being stuck during those wonderful freak April or October snowstorms.
My summers are 235/45/17 on Style 42s and these snows are 225/55/16 on Mille Miglia wheels
Please feel free to ask any questions in this thread and I'd be happy to answer.
I haven't driven them in real snow yet besides the light dusting we had this morning which doesn't count. If we get the blizzard they're predicting this weekend I'll report back with my experience in 2ft of snow.
Just a note for anyone in the New England area, Sullivan is the only place I've found to offer a real lifetime alignment. I don't work for them or anything, but it's something that I've been looking for for some time. Most places (VIP, I'm looking at you) only give you lifetime alignment for the life of the tires and require that you get all suspension work done there. Sullivan doesn't care where you get work done and it's for the lifetime that you have the plate on the car. For $200 it was a good deal for me so I can be super anal and get it checked and adjusted every few months. I'm at 78k right now so I know I have some suspension work coming up.
We're getting POUNDED tommorrow (adjectives like EPIC, HISTORIC, etc. are being used)so I expect a full review regarding the deep powder capabilities of the Artics. BTW, do you throw any extra weight in your trunk? I find an extra 100 lbs of gravel in the trunk makes all the difference for traction in snow (with 4 snow tires). I bought the General UHPs (they were cheap!) a few years back and would rate them as just slightly above average but not nearly as good as my previous Pirelli P Zero Nero A/S. My Hakka snows have maybe about two seasons left on them so your review will be timely.
I will definitely report back with their deep snow capabilities, this is also a great excuse to have some fun in an empty parking lot
I don't put any additional weight in the trunk and actually keep the whole car very clean of crap. Even with the fairly worn Arctic Alpin tires I never had an issue with traction this year and I was out driving in the middle of the last big storm we had. The hills I routinely climb are only around 10% grade.
Good snow tires
I have the General Altimax Arctic tires on my e39 as well, and I think they get good traction in snow. I have had them on since October, and I have not had any issues getting around at all. I work at the hospital here and often get to go home at odd hours of the night prior to the plows getting out, and I have yet to get stuck. They hold to the road pretty well, and the traction control only comes on occasionally when starting from a dead stop. I was also able to get them for a little over $500 installed too. I didn't put any extra weight in the truck, because I have all of the usual stuff in the back (jump box, coolant, oil, belts, etc). I would buy them again.
Below is the picture of the last snow storm we had going home at 3 am.
I have two seasons on Altimax snow tires on a Mitsubishi Outlander AWD. Admittedly, this is not directly relevant to E39 but I can say that these tires have provided outstanding traction in up to a foot of snow, they have been reasonably quiet over 20K miles of use, they have stayed in balance, and tread wear has been much better than Blizzak tires I was used to previously. Ice traction is not as good as Blizzaks but that has not been a problem with my AWD vehicle. We just slow down in icy conditions. I intend to buy them for my 530i this weekend.
I think it is a mistake to consider the Altimax a 'cheap' tire. I read somewhere that they are an established european brand that is affiliated with or owned by General Tire. I don't remember the euro brand right now.
As far as ballast...I've never use extra weight due to most BMWs having an almost 50/50 weight ratio front/back. Since I've never had an issue with traction using dedicated winter tires...adding ballast in the trunk could drastically change the stopping and turning characteristics with a "pendulum" effect that wouldn't be there with the extra weight in the trunk.
Since dedicated winter tires improve turning & stopping...creating a pendulum effect is something I DON'T want to cause....so I just mount the winter tires and go. Now, this works for me and the winter conditions I usually have to drive in. Others may deal with winter conditions totally different than mine...and adding ballast may help with traction...but again, it still will create a pendulum effect if the front/rear balance is unequal.
Just a thought.

Good point. My problem in snow isn't handling but the lack of traction, especially getting from my side street onto the main road. I've had Dunlops M2s (great tires) before and am now running 4 Hakkas (even better snows). Even so, with or without DSC, my tires just spin when there's fresh snow on the ground making the merge a bit sporty. I drive slowly in snowy conditions so handling isn't an issue. And I usually only leave the gravel in the back for a day or two until the streets are well plowed.
Found this on another forum:
"The General are a great looking tire and are actually made in germany, they are the exact copy of the Gislaved Nordfrost 3's which is very well regarded tire."
We are happy with the Altimax studded snows on our 325it, and I happily run studded Hankook i*Pike W409 on my 525i. Hankook has also copied the original Gislaved snow tread pattern. I use the TireRack "alternate" narrower size tire for my 16" winter wheels, which is 215/60-16. I found that local tire stores won't even sell/mount that tire size for an E39, because their books don't list it as a correct size. Bring wheels in loose in another car, if you run into that problem; They don't care as long as they don't mount them on the car.

I'm also run 215/60-16 on my Hakkas. I had Gislaved Frosts way back in the 70s on my Lancia. Awesome tires. The current Altimax tread pattern looks nothing like those old Frosts.

Now that winter storm Nemo is passed it's time for my followup review. The storm left us with about two feet of snow in eastern Mass, though we very fortunate that it was very light and fluffy. You couldn't even make snowballs with it since it was so dry and loose.
Pictures are attached of what my cars looked like. The e39 fared much better since the wind blew all the snow away from the front of the car. I took a minute to clear away any snow in front that might damage the bumper and simply got in and drove out. I didn't expect this to work with how much snow had packed itself under the car from the wind but it was surprisingly like driving on dry pavement.
I took the car out for a long drive up to Haverhill and experienced a good range of conditions from the very poorly maintained highway known as RT3 (heavily packed snow across the whole surface with no sand) to a slushy mess on 495 where they did plow and salt adequately.
The bulk of the traffic on RT3 was in the right lane cautiously cursing at 40mph. I felt a little guilty being the only one on the left safely and confidently passing everyone going 70. It was incredible how good the grip was in these conditions. The Blizzak WS60's and Arctic Alpins I've had before weren't nearly as good.
I pulled off the highway and onto some back roads that still had up to 6" of snow including some fairly steep grades and the car/tires performed much better than expected, particularly considering the low cost of the tires. I kept traction control on most of the time because with the high level of grip it wasn't being a nuisance.
My e28 was another story. It was buried much deeper and is not equipped with snow tires. It's clad in nearly-new Yokohama TRD and had a significantly harder time making it out of its parking spot and even around the parking lot. It does have an LSD in the rear which is likely what made it possible at all. Now that the warm weather of yesterday has melted most of the snow on the roadways it's fine to drive again, but I would not want to be caught out in a blizzard in that car, all because of the tires. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the e39 anywhere in the winter with the Altimax Arctics.
I would absolutely buy these tires again and only hope that for the next set they don't realize how good of a deal they are and raise the price accordingly.
Thanks for an excellent detailed review. I did not buy them yet for my E39 but your experience is consistent with my experience using the Altimax tires on my Outlander. This removes any lingering doubt I may have had about putting them on the 530i.
Now THAT was a SNOWSTORM!!!
Nice e28 ! Tell us about it.
The e28 is an auto sadly, but it's one of the last 535i's made from what I can tell. It's a MY 1988 built in 10/78 since they didn't actually produce any e28's in 1988.
I bought it from a girl in South Boston who had it for a year and bought it from a guy in Connecticut who had it for several years and put an enormous amount of money paying a garage to bring it out of storage including a new transmission. Before that (pre-2008) it was a Florida car and is completely rust free except the bottom of the left two doors from clogged drains. The bottom looks absolutely mint.
I picked it up last year about this time when my girlfriend's Grand Am snapped a timing chain. It had been neglected in the year the girl had it and the whole suspension was shot and it needed a new driveshaft (broken U joint). I brought it up to my standards, replacing the HVAC blower, installing Mustang injectors among many many other things. I got this particular one because of the rust free condition and nearly mint interior. They're nearly impossible to find up here in the Northeast. I have a giant folder of receipts from the previous owner and all documented work from what I've done to it.
That all said, I'm considering selling it soon. We have a 3 year old and the e28 just isn't big enough for my girlfriend (it's her car). I picked up a 1990 735i (e32) a little while ago and am going through it now to prep it for her. Once it's ready I'm considering either using the e28 as a winter car for myself or selling it. I'm leaning towards the latter.

My Approved Custom Jutsus
(Suiton: Mizu Handou) – Water Style: Hydro Kick
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 25
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user gathers a large amount of water chakra under any of his feet and release it as a geyser of water to launch himself in any direction, depending on the angle that his feet maintain with the ground. This is basically used to shift in the blink of an eye from short to mid range and vice versa, or from mid to long range and vice versa. When using Hydro Kick, the user's feet must be in contact with the ground/earth to give appropriate power to the geyser.
Note: Can only be taught by BluePhenix.
Note: Can only be used five times per battles due to the stress it poses on the ankle of the user.

(Doton: Meiun Hishou) – Earth Style: Doom Flight
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A (Opponent may be knocked out)
Description: User stomps the ground and two S-rank pillars of earth immediately sprout from the ground and intertwine to bind the opponent, then separating from the ground to further launch towards the sky while forcibly carrying the opponent along with them. And if they don't escape the bind they are assured a freefall crash to the ground, where they will be knocked out.
Note: This move can only be used/taught by BluePhenix.
Note: User cannot perform any other earth technique in the same turn that this move is used.
Note: This move's effectiveness will vary with the user, i.e. for opponents with rank less than or equal to that of the user, this move is so sudden that, by the time they react to it, they will already be launched in the air. However, for an opponent of higher rank or one of equal rank but who makes use of a speed-enhancing technique such as gates, he will have the time to react before being completely launched into the air.

Hot Topic: Hot Spots (Working with Image Maps)
One of the most debated and most misunderstood accessibility techniques has to do with image maps. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) suggests that designers use client-side image maps instead of server-side.** Most people misunderstand this WAI recommendation as a requirement; we read this as a suggestion and have adopted a different method for dealing with image maps that we believe is more effective. The most widely spread suggestion for image maps is that an alt tag be assigned to each hot spot in the image map. This is a very generous gesture but about like giving a pair of reading glasses to a blind person. Most screen readers don't even pick up the alt tags for the hot spots; they only read the alt tag for the large image. The following big hole of a graphic is an excellent example of one designer's good intentions gone awry. Yes, we know it's missing. The same frustration you feel from this big hole of something missing on this page is the same frustration blind users feel when they hit an image map that's not been treated properly.
Yes, that is an image map with the graphic missing, but the code is still in place. There are hot spots defined within that big blank area. Go ahead - move your mouse around inside the empty box and watch for the little hand to appear. Notice that there are even alt tags applied to the hot spots you can find (you'll see these appear on a PC). Now just think - your initial encounter with this graphic is exactly what a blind user's would be: absolutely no knowledge of what this graphic is except for the main alt tag. As frustrating as this graphic is for you the sigthed user, you still have a distinct advantage over the visually impaired user: you can roll your mouse around and see that there are places to click (even though you had to have prompting). A visually impaired user would have no prompting whatsoever and would be stopped cold by this graphic in his or her cyberspace journey (not even the direction to go "left" in the text next to the graphic is of any help).
** In client-side image maps, the hot spots and their definitions are loaded in a user's browser and therefore readable by screen reading software (so many think), whereas with server-side image maps the hot spot definitions reside on the server and therefore cannot be read by a screen reader.

Grameen Foundation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have released a new policy brief on ICT in agriculture for the upcoming World Summit of the Information Society review and conference (WSIS+10) to be held in June 2014. Titled "e-Agriculture: Looking back and moving forward", the brief provides recommendations for governments and project implementers on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in agriculture and rural development. Some of the key points focus on measuring the impact of ICT interventions and the challenges facing women and youth.
The recommendations are based on discussions from an online forum the two organizations hosted to gather different perspectives from practitioners about the major achievements and challenges of using ICTs in agriculture. In the forum, which was held November 25 to December 6, 2013, participants shared their successes and failures and gave examples of possible models to emulate and upscale.

Washington •
As soon as I heard our government was on the verge of melting down, I got on a plane for the nation's capital. Big mistake.
We landed at Reagan International on Wednesday evening. We drove past the Washington Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Mall, the White House, and CIA headquarters. Everything looked foreclosed.
There were signs of life. Lots of confused tourists with cops telling them what was and wasn't open. Yes, the Smithsonian was closed. Yes, the toilets still worked.
Everyone (three people) I talked to was disgusted with the government, likening members of Congress to children in a sandbox rather than the overpaid and superhealth-insured people we elected to run our collective business.
Michigan guy: "I'll never vote for any of these [@&!?!] again!"
Nebraska woman: "I'm so unhappy that we won't get to see everything."
Fist-shaking guy: "Bunch of [a lot of really horrible words]!"
I tried to interview some politicians but got turned down at every building. They either weren't there, were busy or it was some building that looked important but was actually empty. In D.C. on Wednesday it was hard to tell.
Well, there you have it. America is in a real mess. But you'll never know that from politicians, who all blather in the news about how hard they're working but not getting anything done.
We need a real stalemate buster, something that would bust this thing loose. Something unusual and drastic. Like a beating.
I tried to visit the exact spot on the floor of the Senate where just that sort of thing occurred in 1856. Stymied by slavery and angry over pompous rhetoric, politicians resorted to blows.
On a nice spring day 156 years ago, Reps. Preston Brooks and Laurence M. Keitt, both extra-D from South Carolina, entered the Senate chamber and approached Sen. Charles Sumner, Radical R-Mass., working at his desk. They challenged him about a speech he had given.
While Keitt held other senators at bay with a pistol, Brooks beat Sumner to the point of death with a walking stick. Then they left. It was a definite deadlock breaker.
Historians consider the caning of Sumner to be one of the major sparks that ignited the Civil War, which didn't shut down the federal government but still managed to put 600,000 Americans out of work permanently. That's 15 million dead in today's Americans.
It took Sumner three years to recover. By then Brooks was dead from the croup and Keitt was a few years away from being killed at Cold Harbor while fighting for the right to own people.
With Washington all but closed, we went to another important congressional loggerhead breaker: the Battle of Ball's Bluff, 35 miles northwest of D.C. on the Potomac River. It was there in 1861 that another congressional first occurred.
While leading a Union regiment, Sen./Col. Edward D. Baker, D-Ore., was shot (a lot) and killed. He was the only sitting member of the Senate to be killed in the war.
Note: Baker is also known (though not very well) as the guy who in 1844 arrested the killers of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith when they attempted to flee justice (which wasn't meted out anyway).
At Ball's Bluff I realized what the answer was to the shutdown of the government. Congress should be accepting more of the risks. It shouldn't be just middle America losing its jobs, having its credit ratings savaged and telling their kids that they have to go without. Congress the super health insured ought to be in this boat with the rest of us.
A Civil War to break the deadlock today might be more problematic. Where would we choose up sides? Not only is the president black, but there's no Mason-Dixon line anymore.
I say we draw it between us and Congress. If we randomly hanged a couple from each party every day or so, not only would they know we're serious, we could end this rush to ruination while simultaneously putting the risk where it belongs.

I'm working on a gift certificate system and would like putting together a schema and need a little help as to do it.
Gift Certificate would have unique numbers then obviously the easiest scenario would be if the person used up the whole amount but i'm thinking if someone used partial..
So there would be a debit and credit column .. probaby could be done with 1 table? let me know your thoughts
id | debit | credit | date_modified
434 | 0 | 50 | 09-02-2013 11:15:36
434 | 15 | 35 | 09-02-2013 12:12:54
I'm guessing that once issued, you can't add to a gift certificate? If so, I fail to see the point of the "credit" column. Other than that, I would do it as a separate table like you suggest, because then you can always so the client later, when they purchased something, and what it cost.Also, I'm hoping you're not using auto_increment id's for the gift codes? Those are quite easy to guess
I think the credit column is the initial value and the debit column can be anything up to that value. It can be for reference and so you know the maximum amount the debit can go up to.The debit column would need to be altered every time some money is removed from the certificate.
Right, if you use one record for a gift certificate that would work. I was thinking of having one record for the record itself, and then separate records for each transaction using that certificate, so that the current value is initial value - sum(value of transactions so far)
initial value - sum(value of transactions so far)
Something like this, maybe?
1, 50, 9564565323401, 2013-09-02 14:40:012, -15, 9564565323401, 2013-09-02 16:20:213, -10, 9564565323401, 2013-09-02 17:06:324, 5, 9564565323401, 2013-09-02 19:14:27
This way you have a record of transactions, a gift card ID that isn't tied to an auto_increment value, and you just sum the values of all the transactions for a specific card to get the current amount.
The auto_increment wouldn't be the gift card id lol
each gift card will have a random number + security code.. 9564653561001 501
so i would most likely need a transaction table.. which i didn't think about .. credit is the amount the gift card would be issued.
So any gift card could be issued any amount from $5 - $100;
So i would need a table the is the gift card info
Gift Card Table
1, 9564653561001, 501, 50.00 , 2013-09-02 14:40:01
Transaction Table
1, 1, 10.00, credit, 2013-09-03 15:40:012, 1, 14.00, credit, 2013-09-03 09:26:013, 1, 5.00, credit, 2013-09-04 12:54:23
I think this seems right.
If you're going to go with transactions, why do you need a value column in your gift card table? As soon as there is a credit or a debit, it will be outdated. Storing a calculated field isn't generally considered a best practice. (see here).
IMHO, the easiest approach would be to make the first transaction the initial value/credit.
Why do you need the "transaction_type" column? You should be able to tell if a transaction is a credit or a debit simply by the positive or negative number in the "transaction_amount".

Wall Street money manager Mario Gabelli and associates will pay US$130 million to settle charges that they defrauded the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) during radio spectrum auctions between 1995 and 2000, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday.
Gabelli and 38 other people or entities were accused of participating in a scheme to enter eight auctions in which small or very small businesses were allowed to bid or to qualify for bidding credits or favorable financing, the DOJ said in a press release. Gabelli and his affiliated companies did not qualify for the auctions, the DOJ said.
In order to participate in the auctions, various friends and relatives of Gabelli's were recruited to serve as officers of bogus small businesses that existed only on paper, solely to certify that they met the FCC's eligibility rules, the DOJ said.
The DOJ alleged that these purported telecommunications entrepreneurs included a former aerobics instructor, the caretaker of Gabelli's vacation home, a retired professional basketball player and a relative of Gabelli's who did not know the meaning of "spectrum" or what "FCC" stood for, the DOJ said in its complaint.
The supposed businesses were never controlled by these individuals, but that control always remained with Gabelli and his affiliated companies, the DOJ said. On several occasions, the licenses were eventually transferred to third parties at a substantial profit, the DOJ said.
The complaint charged that the defendants violated the U.S. False Claims Act. The lawsuit was originally filed by a private citizen under the whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act. That provision allows the whistleblower to receive a portion of the settlement if the government takes the case and prosecutes it successfully.
Telecom lawyer R.C. Taylor III, who alerted the government to the case, is entitled to $32.2 million of the recovery, the DOJ said.

When it comes to collectability, few cars match the term better than the legendary Plymouth 'Cuda. Chrysler's storied E-bodies were among the first muscle cars to draw serious money on the auction block. And today, they continue to be some of the best 4-wheeled investments on the market. Equity aside, this Rallye Red coupe represents a roster of great numbers. For starters, it's equipped with an original, numbers-matching V8. It also features a correct A727 Torqueflite transmission. And, in addition to being well optioned, it's fully documented from its original broadcast sheet all the way to its Galen Govier inspection and official Chrysler Registry paperwork. If you're looking for a cool E-body to round out your Mopar collection, take a minute to quantify this brilliant Plymouth!
The first thing many rookies to the collector car world ask when they come across a Cuda is, "Is it a Hemi?" But to the investment minded collector, finding a 'Cuda equipped with an original numbers matching 440 cubic inch Six Pack is just as worthy as a Hemi 'Cuda.

The creation of the new E-body created an absolutely timeless look for the 'Cuda, and our recent sales indicate that the market for these powerful 'Cudas hasn't slowed down at all. At the front of this '70 'Cuda, a "PLYMOUTH" branded grille hangs crystal clear head lamps above a red bumper and familiar, GE-sourced driving lights. At the top of that grille, a "'Cuda 440-6" branded shaker hood gives the entire front end a sinister look. The body lines are flawless and the dual racing mirrors give it a great look. At the back of the car, a traditional black valence hangs like-new tail lights and a cool silver "'Cuda" emblem behind correct deck trim, a bright red bumper and square, chrome exhaust tips.
The best option in 1970 for creating incredible amounts of power, if you didn't want to spend a hefty amount on the Hemi option, was to go with the 440ci Six Pack V8. Lift the red hood and you'll find one of these feared beasts lying in wait in the engine bay. The 440, with the help of three 2 barrel carburetors, was rated to produce 390hp when it left the factory; that's only 35 horses away from the Hemi! The original, numbers matching 440 wears a correct 2536430-7 casting, and a six digit partial VIN. At the top of the engine you'll find the (N96 coded) Shaker Air scoop resting on three 2-barrel carburetors for an incredible look with the hood up or down. Inside the engine bay you will also find a period correct battery and radiator.
Put the 'Cuda on the lift and you'll see how the restoration didn't stop at just the body and engine, rather the underside shows extremely well and has been covered in Rallye red as well. Under here you'll see that bolted to the original block is an A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the 8 ¾ rear axle that wears a correct 2881489 casting number. Spent gasses travel from the cast iron headers through dual exhausts that exit out of chrome tips at the back of the rear bumper. Stopping power comes courtesy of 4-wheel power drum brakes. In front of the brakes is a set of the optional deluxe road wheels that have been wrapped in Goodyear Polyglas F70-14 rubber.
The interior continues the investor grade quality theme of the 'Cuda. Open the doors and you'll find a correct, completely restored black vinyl interior. The front bucket and rear black vinyl shows no signs of wear and accent the red exterior very nicely. Below the seats is like new black carpet with 'Cuda floor mats. In front of the driver, just beyond the three spoke wood grain steering wheel is the 120mph speedometer, the rest of the instrument cluster and the controls on the steering column for the 3-speed automatic. Above the passengers is a taught black headliner that finishes off the incredible look of the interior in this 'Cuda.
The sale of this red 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda includes the original broadcast sheet, restoration receipts, an original owner's manual, original window sticker, a copy of the listing in the Chrysler Registry, and complete inspection and certification paperwork from Galen Govier.
For four years Plymouth seemed to get everything right with the 'Cuda, they gave it a very aggressive styling, and packed as much power as they could under the hood. These 'Cudas are some of the most sought after vehicles by collectors. The combination of the massive power plant, loads of documentation, and an extensive restoration, adds up to a 'Cuda that won't last for long under our showroom lights.
